On the endless snow field, the Red Brotherhood men pulled into a black curve and meandered forward.

On a rare sunny day in the snowy land, the sight is covered with white space.

And two or three miles away, a figure followed them not far or near.

Lance changed into snow-white clothes and his steps were light.

This was stolen by Alice from the Red Porcelain Brotherhood warehouse. In terms of size, it is inevitable that it is a bit unfit, but in such an environment, he has to wear it, after all, white is the best camouflage color.

He was holding a thin piece of parchment paper in his hand. Most of the images on the parchment were in a daze, with only two red and black spots constantly flashing. Between the red and black spots, they were connected by a curved line.

The black dot represents Lance's own position, while the red dot is Alice.

"The spell locator is quite useful." Lance walked slowly. His physical fitness was far superior to that of the mages of the Red Robe Brotherhood, so he could easily hang far behind them.

This spell locator is a popular communication instrument in Ferrendor. Compared with the witchcraft roulette, the spell locator has higher accuracy and is farther away. The only disadvantage is that the function of the spell locator is unidirectional, which means that Lance can easily locate Alice's position based on this piece of parchment, but the latter does not know where Lance is.

Leaving the Red Robe Brotherhood's large forces acted alone, this was something that Lance wanted.

It is certainly safe and secure to keep in the Red Robe Brotherhood, but it is difficult to have a chance to take action.

Alice's plan seemed very obvious to Lance. The woman's fanatical desire for the crystal dragon made Lance have no doubt that she would use all means to grab the crystal dragon from the Red Robe Brotherhood-

Of course, it may also be the corpse of the crystal dragon!

"I remember it very clearly... Alice's advancement direction is the Blood Mage." Lance's eyes flashed with a light of thought.

His mind was very clear. Although Alice did not show it, the purpose of this woman had been vaguely guessed by Lance.

What exactly does a crystal dragon do?

It is certain that it is priceless, but no matter who it is, even a dragon expert, it is difficult to explain it clearly in a short time.

According to the information at Lance, although the Croatian crystal dragon is not a type of dragon, it has the pure bloodline of dragons and has natural comprehension of dragon spells. If cultivated properly, it will become a very reliable helper and partner.

It sounds like everyone is trying to acquire the Crystal Dragon as a pet. But that's not the case.

Because everyone in this operation was unable to sign a pet contract with the Croatian Crystal Dragon. The specific reason was very simple. The dragon spell level of the crystal dragon is level 2, and whether it is the Red Robe Brotherhood or Alice himself, their spell level is level 1. The spell level of the two is not equal enough. It cannot meet the basic requirements for signing a pet contract.

The only possible exception is Wesley, the forbidden spell wizard.

The Forbidden Spell Mage is a very rare advanced category, even rarer than the magnetic storm mages learned by Lance. In the entire Scarlet Castle, no one except Wesley, successfully advanced the Forbidden Spell Mage. Therefore, the abilities and characteristics of this mage profession are also unusually mysterious.

In the Puppet City, Lance saw with his own eyes that Wesley released a second-level spell with the help of a spell scroll. Does this mean that this guy can also sign an agreement with the Crystal Dragon with the spell contract scroll?

This question is quite profound, unless it is a wizard who specializes in contract learning knowledge. It is really difficult for ordinary people to answer.

Lance himself was also difficult to determine. So in his opinion, the purpose of the Red Robe Brotherhood people was still a mess and not very clear. But Alice's thoughts were already obvious.

She cannot sign a pet contract with Crystal Dragon, and is so interested in Crystal Dragon, so the only possibility is...

"This woman is such a lunatic. She actually wants to give herself a dragon heart..." Lance smiled silently and slightly accelerated her pace of progress.

As we all know, blood spells will cause a lot of load on the internal organs of the body, especially the heart. Powerful blood mages often find ways to improve the strength and resilience of their hearts before they advance. And Alice, a crazy woman, seems to be preparing to make this strengthening more extreme!

She probably wanted to change her own heart to a crystal dragon!

In this way, her strength will undoubtedly become very terrifying. With Dragon Heart as a backing, all the side effects of blood spells will be a drop in the bucket for her. Once she succeeds, she is likely to become the strongest member of the Scarlet Castle Blood Mage.

...

"The people from the Red Robe Brotherhood must be preparing to capture the Crystal Dragon alive. After all, although there are many blood mages between them, most of them are not as crazy as Alice. They should have another purpose to capture the Crystal Dragon. Thinking of them as if they were planning to establish a permanent base in the Ace Snowland, and their relationship with the Rambo Union... do they want to establish a new force?"

Thinking of this, Lance couldn't help but have a headache. He was easy to guess about Alice's thoughts. After all, he had a lot of contact with him, and Lance's experience in his previous life also helped a lot. He was very good at observing his words and expressions. However, the motives and plans of the Red Robe Brotherhood seemed relatively confused. This was also an obstacle Alice deliberately created for Lance.

The sky gradually darkened, and the sky in the distance was covered with a thin layer of mist - this is a sign of the arrival of the wind and snow.

He looked down at the magic locator and was surprised to find that the speed of the Red Robe Brothers was moving forward did not slow down, but began to speed up.

"What's going on? The snow is coming, shouldn't we just find a place to camp immediately? Did their destination arrive so quickly, so we have to hurry?"

Lance couldn't help but speed up.

However, not long after, he immediately stopped moving forward.

Because there was a simple camp ahead of him!

If Lance had not had strong eyesight, he could have discovered the other person in advance. If he had not taken a few more steps forward, he would probably have been seen by the people in the camp.

Obviously. These are all from the Red Robe Brotherhood.

"I'm really careful." Lance squinted his eyes and paid attention to the situation ahead. At the same time, he looked down at the parchment.

On the spell locator, the Red Robe Brotherhood people seemed to have turned a corner and started walking eastward.

On both sides, there are endless mountains, and the roads between the mountains are quite open, but it is not easy to walk past that camp. Even if Lance has a sub-chip chameleon.

Because he saw that the wizards in the camp had sprinkled something called [Screaming Mushroom] in every corner of the road. This screaming mushroom had no other function, but it was better to use it as a warning.

If any creature passes by them, they will scream terrifyingly. Lance will look at it and know that if he wants to secretly travel, it is probably impossible.

The intention of the Red Robe Brotherhood is very obvious, which is to close the road. If Lance breaks through, it may alert the enemy.

The only thing he can do now is to take a detour.

Lance frowned and held the spell locator in his hand tightly.

The Red Robe Brotherhood people advanced significantly faster. If he did not follow up, he would probably be able to exceed the effective distance of the spell locator soon.

He looked up at the mountains on both sides. On his right, there was also an iceberg in the east, and strange giant ice stood halfway up the mountain.

And among the huge ice cubes is a winding path.

"It seems the only option to cross this snow-capped mountain and take shortcuts."

Although Lance had a bad premonition in his heart, he still chose to act immediately. He left the flat snowfield and quickly climbed up the snow-capped mountains in the east.

...

There are often no roads on snow-capped mountains, and the ground paved with ice and snow may not be stable. Large holes may appear below.

So this road is far from the previous plains.

Fortunately, after Lance turned on the Swift Wind, not only did his agility increase, but his weight also lost about one-third. In this way, as long as he was careful, he could barely speed up on the snow-capped mountains quickly.

Half an hour later, he rushed to the hillside.

There is a path here, and at the end of the path is a canyon. According to Hawkeye's feedback, as long as you pass through that canyon, you should be able to climb to the other side of the mountain.

Then you will be able to keep up with the speed of the Red Robe Brotherhood.

He was speeding in the snow, with huge ice cubes standing on both sides.

These ice cubes are not transparent, but have a deep blue color. What puzzles Lance is that the appearance of these ice cubes is very neat, and they are obviously cut into pieces of rectangular pieces.

According to Lance's estimate, only one-third of these ice cubes were exposed outside, and two-thirds were buried under the snow.

"What exactly are these?" If I weren't in a hurry to go, Lance would probably stay and study it.

In the center of each ice cube, there is a dark shadow.

As night falls, those shadows look particularly terrifying.

The sound of strong wind came from the valley in the distance, but to Lance, it seemed like howling ghosts and wolves. It became particularly terrifying under the cold and cold atmosphere.

Even though he had experienced all kinds of strange things in the Puppet City, he couldn't help but feel a little scared when he saw the scene in front of him.

"No matter what, I'm just passing by anyway, so it's important to rush."

He pulled his collar, muttered himself, subconsciously speeding up his pace.

...

It was getting darker and darker. Lance was still moving forward on the snow. What made him feel bad was that the scale and number of these giant ice were still expanding along the way.

At the beginning, there were only huge ice cubes on both sides of the path. Lance could continue to move along the middle path smoothly.

Later, the path began to become narrow. From time to time, ice cubes appeared between the roads.

For this reason, he had to choose to take a detour. However, when he pulled around, the number of those ice cubes seemed to be increasing. He seemed to have entered a vicious circle, and the more he avoided, the more he would be, the more likely he would be to bump into these ice cubes head-on.

The snow wind whimpered, the world was cold. Time passed by little by little, and the last trace of sunlight disappeared on the horizon.

Lance was shocked, and he stood still, looked around, but suddenly realized that from when it started, his surroundings were surrounded by those huge ice cubes.

Where is there any way?! In front of you, behind you, is pitch black.

"What's going on?" He felt his mind be confused.

What is even more terrifying is that with the disappearance of the sunshine, the shadows in these huge ice cubes began to become clear.

Lance's eyes were wide open.

At this time, he finally saw the strange shadows in the center of the ice, which turned out to be curled up in corpses!

...

As night fell, a fire flashed in a sheltered depression.

Suddenly, a terrifying scream came from the distant mountains. Everyone was shocked.

By the bonfire, Sink and Alice sat next to each other. Hearing this sound, Sink suddenly showed a strange smile and said to Alice:

"I heard a long time ago that there is an ancient legend circulating in the Snowland of Ace. I wonder if you are interested."

Alice smiled reluctantly, without saying anything.

Sinke stood up, looked at the tall and cold snow-capped mountain, and said to himself:

"The place where this legend happened is called [Corpse Demon Ice Palace]..."
