"He told you!"
Parsour knew exactly what he meant. Until now, she had never thought of denying it. "That's pretty much it."
"You are finished." The wizard asserted, "No deal will work now. Okay, Parsur, I will wait for you in Marandeno. When the time comes, you will miss the request I am making now."
His words were more than a threat, and Parsour knew it. But it's really unnecessary to distract her from this. Witchcraft has been shattered by the blessing of the forest. What is the use of warning before disappearing? What a self-righteous fool. Only the Blue Saint cares about the secret of the fight for the Aurenia crown. Parsul can only listen to it as a story... The past has nothing to do with me.
By the time she climbed down the cliff and returned to the tribe, the village was no longer peaceful. Parsul knew that Joey had destroyed the original rope, but he never imagined that Heather's blessing could also take effect here. He also didn’t know that I wouldn’t leave. In fact, the location doesn’t matter at all, it’s the process that matters.
Frost giants emerged from the frozen soil and destroyed the houses built for them by the clan leaders. Fabuti is always awake, so every time he makes a decision, he only seeks the opinions of his fellow tribesmen who are also awake. Many giants looked at the ruins in amazement and reached out to grasp the broken pieces of ice bricks. They had a lot of fun, and when Parsur asked, these frost giants almost forgot the reason for their awakening.
After crossing the clearing east of the tribe, Sulei found her. This person is the sister of the patriarch, Fabuti, and it was she who suggested using Joey's magic. Naturally, the time they had been in contact was still short, and they could not be said to understand each other, but Parsul always felt that she had other intentions. Her trap showed the opponent's weakness. This woman was a witch, there was no other way. Our passes are made by her colleagues.
As a result, the other party didn't care about his colleagues, but instead came to find trouble with Parsur. As soon as they met, this elemental being had a serious face and stood there waiting for Parsuer to pass. Could it be that she twisted her foot while climbing the cliff earlier?
"Your companion is not normal." Su Lai said bluntly. "Mars almost died in his hands. You'd better go and see."
Parsur stared at her, not understanding the meaning of the other person's words. Of course, in the eyes of most people, Joey is not a likable guy, but it would be bad luck to say that he is irrational. "Mars? Are they fighting?"
"That would be easier to deal with. I found Mars by the lake, seriously injured. He told me that he came to see your companion, but the other party stabbed his ear while he lowered his head. I don't think so. Mars can lie and he likes you outsiders."
There must be a reason. Parsul knew that since Joey planned to keep them in the Ice Sea Tribe, there was no reason to harm the locals. Is it a wizard's trick? What kind of sorcery can control frost giants?
"Take me to see him," she ordered.
"Your companion?"
"No. It's Mars. Even if he really wants to kill people randomly, someone will stop him. It doesn't matter if it goes by in a while."
Mars is a normal-sized frost giant. He could reach the roof with his hand, and climb the cliff with a single leap. The vines of Parsur were in his hands, almost as thin as spider silk. But now this big guy is lying on the snow, rolling and howling. Even Su Lai didn't dare to get close.
They hide behind an igloo. Parsur saw a purple scar spreading from his forehead to his temples.
"Quiet, Mars!" cried Sule. She lowered her head to avoid a piece of ice. "We have something to ask you."
The injured frost giant sniffled and set off a gust of wind. "Su Lai? You asked."
"That was my question. Now it's the out-of-towners who ask it of you."
"Dream! I won't give you my other good ear."
I really need your ears, maybe I can use them to drink. Parsul covered his mouth with his palms and shouted as loud as he could: "I'm here to apologize! Can you hear me? Tell me, what happened?"
The frost giant heard it. At least Su Lai was watching, so he lowered his head in disbelief and showed the wound to Parsuer. The injury was quite strange, definitely not a stab wound, but Parsul noticed that neither Mars nor Sule noticed it.
"Your friend has deceived Mars," the frost giant said, wiping his face. "He told me to get out!"
"I guess you don't want to hear this." Could it have been a fight caused by a quarrel?
"I listened, but he lied to me!"
Su Lai snorted in displeasure. "Idiot. I see you're not awake yet."
"Lied to you? Why do you say that?" Parsul frowned.
"I walked away," Mars emphasized, "but he didn't fulfill his promise. He didn't want to help me repair the house. He said he didn't have time!"
Finally the truth came out. Of course a knight can do this. Parsour could not deny that he had nothing to do with the accident. My disappearance made him lose his sense of proportion. But putting aside these factors, he went too far.
"Mars got in his way at the wrong time, but that was just the trigger." Sule said. "If you ask me, he might have been almost out of control. It's hard for outsiders to adapt to the environment here."
"You are referring to the density of elements."
"Did you know earlier?"
"We have considered this type of problem." Parsul shrugged. "When you go to the end of the world, you have to make some preparations. During the tide, your elemental life's induction is far stronger than ours... But you misunderstood. Joe Yi is not an elementalist, to be precise, not just an elementalist. His profession comes from the mysterious inheritance of bloodline, and is probably the work of the temple wizard. As far as I am concerned, the changes in the density of the elements have almost no impact on him."
"You actually know the tides."
"There are many elemental life races in the Blue Forest, and that is my hometown."
Sule looked at her. "I don't care where you come from, Parsur. But if you're going to stay, you'd better not lie to me. The same goes for your companions. Never again, mark my words."
"next time?"
"He said he has never met Mars. Can you vouch for him?"
It's no harder to lie to you than to other frost giants. "Honestly? I can't guarantee anything about him," Parsour replied. "I have to see it with my own eyes."
The truth turned out to be far more outrageous than imagined. Although it was troublesome to deal with the wizard Sterling, it only took a few minutes in total. When he came back, chaos had swept the village. This is never a pleasant experience. On the edge, they are already feeling the aftermath of the tribe's awakening. Hurricanes roar in the deep valleys, and new frost covers the permafrost. The frost giants became active, wandering back and forth uneasily, and even Sulei had to avoid their big paws.
Amid the roaring and roaring, Parsur had trouble concentrating. I never thought I would miss the silence so quickly. After crossing the glacial lake, Parsur discovered the missionary, who was also looking for Joey.
"He left me and disappeared," Uriel told her.
"How clever. Maybe he is taking revenge on me." Parsul smiled, "Want to come and play hide-and-seek together?"
But Uriel reluctantly refused. He seems to be planning to seek help from the frost giant leader Fabuti. This was a fair way to deal with it, but he didn't understand Farbuti yet.
However, the missionaries were not in a hurry to leave. "Did you hear anything?" he asked.
"I can only hear Heather's call." She wasted no time, so she waved to the child and quickened her pace.
…
"She didn't really 'hear' it, right?" Uriel lowered his head and asked Sauron. Something is wrong.
However, the ring didn't respond at all. Whenever it is needed, Sauron will suddenly shut down. This was actually a hint, and he noticed that the dream had changed again.
The apprentice stopped, but it was not because he wanted to do so. The air was sinking, forming fog and frost, but the sky was getting brighter and brighter. The stars in the constellations of the Harp and the Hatton were as bright as long rivers, not like signs of a snowstorm. What's the problem? Uriel couldn't help but look around.
Maybe it's the frost giant's method. The Ice Sea Tribe is located in a mysterious place, and there is a high probability that there are mysterious rules that he does not understand. Maybe they were trying to protect themselves, maybe Farbuti wanted to find Joey as soon as possible. A frost giant named Mars has gone missing, and they might be looking for him too.
The appearance of Parsur, who was the first to go missing, is the only good news so far. However, she had no intention of revealing her whereabouts... Everyone in this place was silent, and everyone was wrapped in mist...
There was no benefit in waiting here, so he had no choice but to move forward as planned. The frost giant Fabuti is stopping at the center of the tribe, and his fire is easily distinguishable among his tribe. Uriel felt it carefully and found that although his soul flame was strong, it was peaceful and quiet, not as restless as the Nameless One. It seems that Nadia has not yet radiated her influence to the edge of the world.
His judgment may be wrong, but he has no more time to spend judging the situation. Every time he enters the dream world, the information before the apprentice is too confusing to sift through. Sauron is right, I should worry about my own troubles, not get involved in old affairs that cannot be changed.
"Who are you? 』
A frost giant ran past him, the vibrations spread on the ground, and the roar spread through the air. Maybe he didn't even notice that there was a "little man" at his feet. There was a rustle in Uriel's ears, but he couldn't quiet them down. He watched as the giant that had just been running crashed into the house, waving his hands and feet and plowing into the snow.
"Go south." 』
These big guys can't follow human rules and can't find Joey, the apprentice decides. It seems that I can only rely on Parsur and Sule to have a chance to find the anchor point. He quickened his pace, almost flying on the snow, and only now did he catch sight of Fabuti's broad shoulders.
"Little... Uriel!" Perhaps the frost giant leader's eyesight was much better than that of his fellow tribesmen, so he could spot Uriel at a glance, but it was more likely because the magical flames burning on the latter's body had an extraordinary effect. "What the hell are you doing?" he yelled as quietly as possible.
"You can't look back!" forward. 』
"I...hell!" Uriel hammered his head, "Who is talking? Sauron? Ms. Mabel?"
Farbuti lowered his head, as if to put his big mouth next to his ear. However, the apprentice could not hear his words clearly. The two sounds were mixed together, covering, infiltrating, and tugging at each other, forming a nerve-shaking roar. In his eyes, the outline of the frost giant gradually blurred. "I don't recognize these people you're talking about!"
"Go to the south!" Go to the south, go, go, go—"
Uriel's head was filled with vibrations. He pressed his forehead and slowly knelt in the snow.
…
Even in the territory of the frost giants, this place is considered inaccessible. The cave was covered in ice, and the darkness was bottomless. No matter how the aftermath of the giants' chaos spread, it was not reflected here at all. Tranquility is stored in the ice, noise and vibration are isolated, the breeze blows dust, and the snow-white particles spread like waves.
Heather directed her here. Parsul saw Joey standing behind the corner, with a huge mountain-like thing blocking the center, casting a deep and huge shadow beside him. Judging from the size, he is probably another missing person that the Ice Sea Tribe has not noticed yet.
It is impossible for a living frost giant to be so honest, and Parsul saw that he was dead. But the knight remained motionless, with rivers of blood flowing from his feet. He himself fell into a strange state of meditation. She grasped the soles of the shoes with her toes and approached him gently.
When he was less than four yards away, Parsour stopped and drew the knife from his pocket. This was a weapon Sule gave her for self-defense. The other party seemed to realize that Parsul was going to do something dangerous. She was right. When he got behind Joey, Persul raised the knife and stabbed him in the neck.
But the knight grabbed her arm with his backhand. As Parsour struggled, Joey unscrewed the knife and tried to twist her arms together. During the tearing, her palm was cut open, and the knight's old wounds burst open again. The water mist and bloody smell produced by their breathing rose in the cave and slowly condensed on the ice wall. She heard him groan.
A gash ran across the knight's chest, and blood gushed out. "Does it hurt?" She squeezed the word out of her throat and laughed. The smile almost made her relax, but she couldn't control her emotions. Parsul laughed and let go of his hand completely.
Joey took a deep breath and held her hand. "Shut up." He then kicked her knees, forcing her to kneel on the ground. Parsul could only see Joey's reflection reflected in the ice brick. Even if he chooses to take revenge now, I can't resist. She had attacked him for that moment.
But the knight stopped, seeming to regain his composure at the sight of her. His reaction surprised Parsur. Now I can see some of them.
"Who's coming?" he asked.
"Bernard Sterling."
"What did he say to you?"
"It's just what you think, he brings a death notice." It's no use at all. "Do you want to do it for me?"
"You can't tell." Even so, Joey didn't move at all. "You agreed?"
His wrist was against her face, feeling wet and cold. Through his skin, Parsur could feel the fear coursing through his veins. Before being exiled by Saint Valoran, she lived in fear every day. Fear is reserved for betrayers.
But that too was in the past. The past can no longer affect her. "If you have the courage to climb up, you will see how I treat the enemy. It was originally a demonstration for you." But it was Su Lai who climbed up to see. Parsul had no intention of communicating with the witch, she had never thought of it that way.
"Are you teaching me half-heartedly?"
You don't dare to attack him at all. “Without divine grace, you are helpless against his shadow.”
The knight paused: "Shadow?"
"It's the work of the Templar Wizard. As for the source... he has many methods hidden in you. I think you know this. To deal with the shadow, the master must be taken away." Parsul lowered his head and raised his face. Attached to the knight's reflection. "You can't make the final decision about witchcraft, right?"
The knight could not deny it, so he let go of his hand unhappily. "What are you laughing at? Shut up."
"I can't do this. I'm happy to see you unlucky." Parsul sat on the ice, and the pool of blood beside him had solidified. "Why stop? You doubted me, but you chose me. Just tell me why."
He never answers anyone's questions. "You don't want to live anymore?"
"Of course not. Too many people want my head, and it's not my style to give them what they want. It's all about form. They want to kill me to silence me, to make me still, to make me lose the threat to them... But It would be different for you."
Joey frowned as he listened. "Form? Be clear."
"To put it simply, it is a mysterious ritual." Parsul approached him. "After completing the ritual, everything will be reversed. We will usher in a new life."
"Then you would have died in Mortus." Obviously, he didn't believe it. "It doesn't have to be so troublesome to change the status quo," Joey pointed out, "and the same goes for staying away from the Empire."
"We've gone far enough. Look, they've given up."
"Think with your toes, the reason is also you."
"That doesn't make sense, Joey."
"Who wants to go to the south? It's not me anyway." The knight said coldly. "You have what you want, a ritual? Does your god promise you? Go to hell!" His voice rose and gradually turned into a roar. "You want me to come to this damn place, you want me to complete that bullshit ritual! What does Heather have to do with me? Saint Valoran, Orenia, and Alainvo are all a mess. I'm not a fucking cook! "
"I think so." Parsul replied, "But no matter where you hide, you can't disappear completely. Someone will always come looking for you, and there will always be old things knocking on your door! Ordinary people who kill people will be sought for revenge, let alone us. ." She was almost tired of such topics. "You don't want to die, right? I know what you want. You just want to live. It's the same everywhere."
The knight stared at her challengingly: "Whatever you think. Maybe you can find someone else to complete your great ritual?"
"Are you threatening me now?" She felt that she was irritated. No. That does not work. Parsul took a deep breath and told himself to calm down. Scolding and ordering didn't work, and Joey would confront her instead... She had already learned this. To get him to obey, Parsul had to find another way.
She turned to another matter. "Listen to me, Sule took me to see him."
"who?"
"Mars. He was the first snowman you attacked."
The knight remembered. "See his body?"
"As far as I'm concerned, he's alive and kicking."
"I killed him," Joey said defensively. "You better believe I didn't pull any punches."
Parsur remembered the wound on Mars' head. It was long and deep enough to crush bones even for a frost giant. It’s hard not to die if your brain blossoms. She could even tell that the knight struck with an axe. "Of course I believe you... If Su Lai lied, I would see it. There are indeed marks on the frost giant's face, and he clearly remembers your actions. The only difference between your stories is the result of that knife. Ma Else is alive, no doubt about it."
"He is alive too." The knight shuddered.
"Of course, there is a reason for this. I think most people here are like this." Parsul glanced at the frost giant corpse next to him, "Well, you have already tested it." The same death conditions can be used as a control. But if it were her, she would probably not stir up chaos so roughly. It seems that my knight solves questions in the same way as before...
"Mysterious effect?"
"Nothing else. I think the Ice Sea Tribe is gone a long time ago, and the snowman has become the master of the tundra a long time ago. Since the witches used magic to hide us, it means there is nothing they can do."
The knight kicked the body away hard. "Then what are these things?"
"I'm afraid they are a kind of undead. If we stay, we will probably join them. Are you willing to do this?"
Joey didn't answer.
"You're not happy, are you?" For a moment, she was afraid that he would still insist on staying. But seeing the look in his eyes, Parsul finally found his rhythm. "Cold can drive away pain, but flesh and blood will not heal. Remember my words." She grabbed Joey's hand, and there was a stinging pain from the gap cut by the knife in her palm.
Everything falls into place. Without arousing suspicion, Parsur needs no explanation. At this moment, they seemed to be connected by blood, inseparable from each other, and life circulated through the seams of flesh and blood like a substance. Her heart was beating hard and heat spread throughout her body. Parsur sighed, triggering the mysterious arrival.
"Poetry of the Ring"
"It's very quiet here." The knight looked at the wound on his chest. This was the last mark Bogart left on him, and it has not healed yet. The battle with the frost giant caused it to crack again. Nightingale would not give them a chance to breathe. The injured Silversong Knight was no match for them. Maybe he refused to move forward because of this. "Quietness is more rare than life."
“The quietest place is where there is nothing.”
"You know what I mean." He frowned at her.
Parsur didn't know what he should understand.
"Go further south and you'll die, Parsour. Please don't go on."
He didn't understand. Of course he doesn't understand, he doesn't trust my God. "Believe me, you will regret it again when the time comes. A new life is just around the corner, so why go back to the prison of the past?" I used this theory to convince him. "I share my life with you, Joey. I give you everything I have. You only have me." The time and place were not right, but she found that this was the limit of a knight. He couldn't go any further. Parsour had no choice but to make do. "Come on, let's conquer our fear."
The knight watched as she picked up the knife she had thrown away earlier. It fell into a pool of blood, bringing up dark red frost when it was pulled out. Joey seemed to be trembling as he held the knife. In fact, Parsour felt himself shaking. You can't go back. Heather! I shouldn't have faced all this with the hope you gave me.
"I can't do it myself." Fortunately I couldn't. Otherwise she will definitely fail.
They looked at each other for more than ten seconds. The knight narrowed his eyes and gripped the hilt of his knife tightly. "Where?" he asked, "here?" His palm still brought a wonderful feeling of blood connection. "Let me tell you, consciousness cannot disappear instantly. It will always hurt when it should hurt."
"Pain is an illusion," she declared, clasping his fingers with her right hand. The wounds on their palms overlapped each other. "Do as I say."
Joey did so.
The sharp instrument penetrates the body, and the pain surges. It is really difficult to deceive oneself. Parsur felt heat and life pouring out of the wound, and all his strength drained away.
…
In an instant, the world fell silent. Uriel coughed violently, and suddenly found himself burying his head in the snow. when……? The apprentice wiped his face and looked around blankly.
He saw the word frost on the ground at a glance. "Say something quickly!" Idiot, are you blind?"
"Sauron? Are you back to normal?" It's so strange. Uriel suddenly remembered that those words had actually been written in front of him all along. Why can't I see them?
"Leave it alone!" The dream is about to collapse.』
