Of course Xu Shuo knew who the instigator was who made them ambush here.
But, what he really wants to know.
It's how the other party obtained his position.
Even the governors accompanying the Holy See Army did not know from which direction he would go to the city-state of Dalton, but the royal capital seemed to have accurately grasped his movements and set up a dragnet here.
But it's a pity.
Why doesn't that person come over in person?
Xu Shuo stood at the top of the peak, expressionless as he watched the magician roll all the way to the bottom of the mountain, and then lay silently among the jumbled rocks.
As a great magician.
It's really a bit cowardly to die like this.
But such a man with a wine bag and rice bag was treated as a guest by the royal family of Saint Vallo. No wonder there are rumors in the mainland that Wald XVIII is fatuous and incompetent.
It's no wonder that the Pope would choose to seek royal power at this time.
Because the power of this empire has declined.
But now it seems.
It has become unknown whether the current Wald XVIII is truly insane or fake.
More importantly, is there any other ambush waiting for him ahead?
It is also an unknown quantity.
Judging from this battle, the opponent seems to want to consume all the power of the Holy See Army before it enters the royal capital.
Loud shouts came from the mountain col.
Xu Shuo lowered his eyes and looked down.
Then, before the group of cavalry came in pursuit again, and before the rain of arrows fell from the sky, they turned around and left from another place on the peak, and disappeared into the night.
…
Chasing the scent of his own tools.
Xu Shuo no longer walked wantonly on the mountain road, but used the ability of "dark stealth" to shuttle through the dense forest, and found the ice and snow elf nesting in a cave under the cover of night.
Catalina, who noticed the movement, immediately looked over cautiously.
Her silver eyes glowed in the dark, and under the moon-white edge were sharp vertical eyes, which looked a bit scary.
After discovering that the visitor was Xu Shuo.
Catalina was slightly relieved.
"You escaped?"
"Otherwise, he would be a ghost now."
"..."
Catalina looked at the young man silently.
In fact, Xu Shuo's eyes also emit a shimmer.
Because at night, if the power of light is not attached to the boy's hole, he will be completely blind, so he does look somewhat similar to the ice elf at this moment.
Probably because he had just gone through a tough battle.
The young man looked a little embarrassed.
The carefully braided silver hair was extremely messy. If he hadn't tied it tightly enough, it would be unkempt now.
The bright pope.
Now it has fallen to this point.
Not only was he pursued here by the enemy.
The barren mountains and ridges were cold and windy, and there was no one to serve him, nor any brave and loyal knight to guard him, so the fights were reduced to being fought by oneself.
I don’t know how he escaped from such a siege.
Catalina couldn't help but ask: "Why did you let me go first? If I stayed, I could still help you."
Xu Shuo glanced at her: "When I asked you to leave, you didn't say you wanted to stay." …
Catalina: "..."
After two sentences, he choked up again in a familiar way.
But Catalina persisted and said the third sentence: "If you had asked me to stay and help, maybe I would have stayed, but you didn't say it."
"Because you look useless."
"…………"
Catalina's expression fell a bit.
Dawn Exercise has never been ridiculed like this before!
At this time, Xu Shuo stretched out his hand towards her: "Give me back the cloak. The time has come. It's useless for you to keep wearing it."
Catalina angrily took off her cloak and threw it to him. She really didn't like a black, tattered cloak that couldn't keep the cold.
Xu Shuo took back his cloak and sensed it.
The energy above is indeed gone.
This cloak can regenerate its energy independently when it is folded, but the time limit for each use is only five minutes, just like molecular crystals that volatilize in the air.
The energy of the cloak will also evaporate quietly.
[Special prop "The Innocent Man's Cloak" Fragment: You picked up a rag and sewed it into a brand new piece of clothing. This piece of clothing allows you to blend in with the surrounding environment. But the remaining magic power can only support your actions for five minutes at a time, and you have to find a way to completely repair it yourself. 】
The place to replenish magic power is the special storage backpack in the script space.
Xu Shuo put the cloak back.
Facing the thing that suddenly disappeared in his hand, Catalina looked a little surprised, but she was probably still upset, so she didn't ask out loud.
Space storage magic is also a mysterious method that exists in legends on today's continent.
But think about it since meeting this person.
She seems to have seen quite a lot of mysterious methods.
The Holy See of Light actually still inherits such terrifying magical attainments, unlike the Ice and Snow Elves. Now they can't even pass on their own bloodline, so how can they ignore those history and civilizations.
After thinking about my own race.
Catalina's mood became depressed again. She remained silent in the dark cave, and her body began to exude that kind of Buddhist aura without sadness or joy.
What time does she have to get emotional now?
She is no longer the Dawn Exercise she once was.
She now shoulders the inheritance of the ice and snow elves.
Catalina fell into deep thought.
Xu Shuo said at this time: "Take a rest for a while. We will continue our journey later. We must reach Dalton City tonight."
The legions outside are still searching across the mountains and plains.
It's not like he doesn't want to rush on his way now.
It's just that he spent a lot of energy in the mountain col just now. Xu Shuo planned to recover some mental strength before leaving, so as not to encounter an ambush by the mastermind later on.
The other party can track his whereabouts here.
Then maybe the ambush can be continued elsewhere.
Catalina hugged her knees and didn't respond, as if she was shutting herself in. Xu Shuo also leaned against the mountain wall, closed his eyes and slowly recovered.
The dark cave was so silent that there was almost no sound of breathing.
The violin in my mind is playing softly.
Although he couldn't hear the music it was playing, Xu Shuo could figure it out by himself. Thinking about it, he suddenly felt that the entire spiritual sea was relaxed a lot.
Suddenly, Xu Shuo, who was resting quietly, suddenly felt something.
He suddenly opened his eyes.
In the darkness, those bright silver eyes looked forward emotionlessly, making eye contact with the person approaching.
Catalina looked at him strangely.
She suddenly said: "You said before that maybe I can pass on the civilization of the ice and snow elves, and pass on this bloodline in this world in another way."
Xu Shuo listened quietly, said nothing, and just stared at her expressionlessly.
Catalina added: "I have been thinking about this along the way, so I borrowed your Holy Scripture of Light. The faith of the Holy See of Light can be passed down and stand for thousands of years. Maybe there is really something worth learning for us. place."
Xu Shuo continued to listen.
Catalina: "I have nothing now. In order for the ice elves to not be forgotten by this world, I can only let myself learn to cater to these things that I once dismissed."
Xu Shuo listened calmly.
Catalina: "I know that your Holy See of Light does not shy away from the reproduction of offspring by believers, and even promotes this behavior."
Xu Shuo: "?"
Catalina: "You are the light exerciser of this generation, I am the dawn exerciser, we -"
"roll."
…
