The wandering soul has not appeared for several days. The dark clouds that have covered their heads for the whole winter have gradually dissipated, and the snow has turned into water. The sunset mountains are full of dripping water, which then gathers into streams, rushing in, and eventually turns into rumbling waterfalls, rolling down the mountain.
Fortunately, there was a river called Puasa there, which carried the snow and sent them to the south and east to nourish the vast land.
"I always thought that the moat of the Ice Peak Fortress was always dry." Feiqi stepped on the broken ice that had not yet melted and slowly walked out of the fortress gate that had been lifted shortly after the blockade was lifted. He grabbed a slender rope in his hand, and tied a toy mouse made of cloth to one end of the rope. He followed carefully at midnight and seized the opportunity to pounce over. Sometimes it succeeded, sometimes it failed, but it was very happy regardless of success or failure.
"Walking a cat again? Training it is worse than training yourself. You are too leisurely." Kelly stood on the downed suspension bridge and was taking off his clothes in an orderly manner. In front of him, the moat was filled with water from melting snow, clear and transparent, but absolutely cold and icy. "Come on, come down and wash together, which is good for the body. It is also to welcome the spring."
"I don't want to catch a cold, I would rather take a hot bath." Feiqi shook his head and refused quickly. "Do you want me to help you create a fire so that you can quickly warm your body when you come out?"
"Of course." Kelly had already naked, revealing his strong but scar-covered body. He looked at Ficchi, focusing on Ficchi's new bracelet, which was made of many tiny red coral stones strung on white ropes. The goddess's thunder cross symbol was hung on the chain. Kelly pointed to the bracelet and asked, "Snow Owl is sure to make you the new magic consultant of the fortress?"
"Yes, he gave me this string of stones and appointed me like this. But I don't understand the responsibilities of the divine counselor. Is it really just to handle letters, get more rewards in the mission, and take everyone to pray?"
"Of course, what do you think? Or if you want to, you can add one: take the lead in ice swimming."
Kelly threw away his clothes, pinched his nose, and jumped into the water. Ice water splashed everywhere in the moat, and the cold air was blowing, but a strong body was welcoming the arrival of spring in a way that overcomes the cold. "Fech, I'm in the water, where's the fire?"
"Don't urge, it'll be fine in a while."
Feiqi threw away the rope, threw the cloth mouse to midnight, and then turned to the fortress. Through the gate and entered the small urn city, there were stables and piles of firewood next to the courtyard. This place was covered by snow for almost a winter. It got wet when the snow melted, but it was still possible to find dry firewood. Feiqi picked up some and pulled some dry grass. When he returned to the gate, he found that there were a few more people.
Giles, Tron, Wumama and Ramsden are back. Ramsden is the most enthusiastic. He rushed up and gave Feich a big hug, smashing firewood and hay all over the sky. He shouted excitedly: "I knew you were fine! No matter winter or wandering souls, you can't kill you!"
"Of course, of course, let go quickly, otherwise I will tell Kelly that you are fatter than before the beginning of winter. Let's see if he will increase the amount of training for you!" Feiqi greeted everyone with a smile, and everyone responded enthusiastically.
Kelly showed his head out of the water and spit out the water column with a thud. Wumama hurriedly avoided it. Giles might feel that it was a bit embarrassing to dodge the ice water, so he let his boots get wet. He looked down and sighed, then said, "Go and unload the goods first."
The four of them came back with two big trucks, and the horses who had taken away from the fortress before the beginning of winter came back, and they were lined up in a long line. The carriage was piled with wooden barrels and boxes, covered with canvas, tied with ropes, and mysterious. These things were to be sorted into the warehouse as soon as possible, but Kelly called them and pointed at Feige and said, "Don't leave now, Feige, show them a hand!"
"Actually nothing." Feiqi closed his eyes and opened it again and entered the Hawkeye meditation state. At this time, he could focus on multiple objects at the same time, and could use multiple mind-moving objects "SUA" in turn, and initiate and combine more complex group movements. Under his command, the firewood scattered on the ground gathered together, put together each other, and left a gap in the middle so that the hay could fly in the end. Then, Feiqi flipped his wrist, and the holy emblem on the bracelet jumped into his palm, glowing with the magic spell, and then an electric spark flew out to ignite the hay. A gust of wind blew, the flames began to rise, and the pile of fire slowly burned.
"Wow! This is so beautiful!" Ramsden squatted near the fire and carefully reached over: "It's hot! It's really fire!"
"The observation skills are really poor." Kelly can always find problems.
"Become a priest?" Giles noticed the holy emblem on Fitch's wrist, nodded slowly, and said two words: "Good thing!" Then, he walked into the fortress without saying a word.
Tron walked over with his shoulders shrank, stretched out his hand on the fire, and was the first to start to enjoy the warm baking feeling. "Huh, the snow is so heavy this year, and there is water everywhere along the way, and the wind is too cold. Feich, Lord Giles has something to report to Lord Snow Owl, otherwise it will definitely be your ability to show you more. I believe that you have learned more this winter, right?"
"Actually, it's just that. You've known about moving objects for a long time. All that's left is to glow, ignite, discharge, and call others. But I have no idea about the most critical healing magic technique, so I can't call it a priest."
Feich's main energy is magic, not magic. His slow progress is only relative to himself. If he is compared with all new pastors in the Church of the Goddess of Truth, he is actually not behind - of course he is not a genius. His advantage lies in the terrible amount of knowledge: Feich Hall's common sense and alchemy, the human society research and devil philosophy of the fork-way demon, and the long-term education and insights brought by Yan Rui from the earth. The stronger the foundation, the smoother it will be when he learns.
However, he still hit a wall: using magic to heal others' wounds. Perhaps this is not "being orderly", but "kindness", so he, the devil-in-hearted guy, has not been able to use healing magic to this day.
"It's okay, you're so smart, it's just a matter of time." Tron looked at Feich while burning the fire, and then said, "Fech, I'm going to catch the horn-winged monster. Can you help me?"
"Of course, do you still need to ask this!" Feiqi nodded vigorously: "Where is the Horned Winged Warcraft? Who else can go? Do you need to prepare anything?"
"Everyone is going, but I think four of us are enough."
Feiqi whined into the moat: "Don't you call Lord Kelly and Lord Giles?"
"Thinking is one thing, but actually another. We..." Tron looked around first, then lowered his voice and said, "When we were hiding from snow in winter, we encountered some things in Collingwood Town, which were very strange. Although it has nothing to do with the Ice Peak Fortress, it is very likely to be related to the fortress of other goddesses. I guess the official monster hunters are going to do this. Oh, Feich, you are also formal, but I...I think you should be sent to help me complete the enhancement ceremony and others will investigate."
"It's a mess, the most important thing is not clear. What happened to you?"
Kelly should have heard Tron's words, so she ended the ice swimming. With the help of buoyancy and agility, she climbed ashore in a few seconds and approached the fire. Ramsden took Lord Kelly's clothes with a wink, and found a cloak from the carriage and wiped his body as a towel.
"Tell me more." Kelle said to Tron: "What strange things have you encountered?"
"We met a group of fake monster hunters. They said they were new trainees at Gujian Castle and were very warm and friendly, but I think they were fake. Although some years, there would be people going down the mountain to escape the winter and could meet us in Collingwood, but when I went to find the Horned Winged Warcraft in July, I passed by Gujian Castle and stayed there for two days. They have two new students this year, only eight years old. If they want to escape the winter, why didn't the two eight-year-old children come, and four adults come, they look like they are either warriors or assassins?"
"It looks like an assassin? Then their level is definitely not very good..."
"Feich, I thought so at the beginning. I guess those people were clumsy liars and wanted to cheat money from the villagers by the name of Monster Hunter. We have encountered many such people before." Tron sighed and said, "But I thought about it this way. I exposed them. The two guys who looked like assassins were spellcasters, causing us a lot of trouble. He created fear in our hearts, which made my hands and feet chill, and all his movements were deformed. Ramsden was so scared that he ran around the yard, and only Wumama looked calm."
"Actually, I was also very scared, just pretending not to be afraid. As a result, they saw that I was not afraid and thought I was very powerful, so they all came to me, scaring me to death..."
Kelly glared at Wumama: "Speak in a normal voice, don't imitate women. I haven't been beaten for the whole winter, have you forgotten this?"
Wumama shivered, coughed twice, and said in a thick voice: "Fortunately, Lord Giles joined the battlefield and Ramsden's brave performance, we reversed the situation at once, and finally killed four of them with only a little injury."
"Ramsden's heroic performance?!" Feich widened his eyes: "You must talk about this!"
Tron suddenly showed an awkward look and scratched his head and said, "I'm really scared, Wumama is scared but it looks okay, Ramsden is... He is not afraid at all, pretending to be afraid to run around. He found an opportunity and knocked a spellcaster from behind with a short stick hidden on his body, and hugged another one under his body. So we immediately established an advantage and then won."
Ramsden rubbed his nose and said silly: "It's not that I'm not afraid, but that I'm just afraid of getting used to it. I should eat and sleep, and it won't affect me. I was so scared that I ran around, but it didn't delay the war!"
"Well, I understand, no wonder you are still fat. It turns out that fear can't stimulate training motivation. Change this year: hunger." Kelly's words made Ramsden feel like he was falling into hell, but the instructor didn't care about the little fat man's thoughts. He just wanted to get the result. "Tron, who are those guys?"
