I like traveling the most

Chapter 664 Snow Elf King

I always feel that General Dong has become stronger.

"Well, this kind of thing doesn't matter... By the way, where are we now?"

Aqua looked around optimistically.

"Hmm...deep in the snow-capped mountains?" Xiao Lin said uncertainly, and then asked doubtfully: "Will there be permanent crystals here?"

Darkness and Megumin were also surprised.

"I didn't even know there was such an iceberg deeper in the snowfield."

"Speaking of which, this scene is too spectacular... Can you say that the entire mountain is frozen..."

"Looking around will make your feet slippery, right?"

Xiao Lin warned.

However--

"Really, Xiaolin really loves to worry. No matter what, no one would slip in a place like this... Wow!"

The stupid goddess fell down on the spot.

"Butt, my butt..."

She fell to the ground wailing.

Xiaolin helplessly helped her up and yelled angrily: "Akuya, why do you have to set up the flag so solemnly!"

"Whoaaah——"

she cried loudly.

Xiao Lin said to several people: "Anyway, everyone, please be careful where you step. There is also the possibility of a sudden attack by monsters. If you encounter a strange or suspicious person, you must take action first..."

"Hey...hey...!"

"Xiao Lin, did you hear something just now?"

Aqua asked Kobayashi while listening attentively.

"Ah? What do you mean?"

"Hey - ah, it sounds like someone is calling something..."

"Stop talking nonsense. In a place full of ice, how could anyone-"

Just when Xiaolin wanted to deny it and tell her that no one else would appear here, a clearer shout came from the distance.

"Hey——! Hey——!!!"

"..."

Xiao Lin twitched the corner of his mouth.

Aqua tugged at the corner of his clothes in panic.

"I said Xiaolin, you really heard me!"

"No, no, no, it must be the noise of the wind or something. You only hear hallucinations when you are too tired."

"No, I heard it clearly too!"

"Me too. Sure enough, someone is somewhere..."

Megumin and Darkness said the same thing.

The expressions of the two became slightly serious.

The surrounding snow-capped mountains are silent and uninhabited. The only ones who appear here are——

"Where is somewhere? The sounds that can be heard in a place like this can only be ghosts!"

"——Really, how long are you going to make me wait!"

"Whoaaaah——————!" X4

Several people shouted in unison.

The violent shouting seemed to frighten the figure. He walked out of the grass on the side. He was wearing a cloak, but the white snow falling on him showed that he was a real human being.

Not only that.

"What, what's wrong, Xiaolin? You made such a loud noise..."

"Ah? Could it be that it's a magpie?"

"Aqua-sama, my name is Edgeworth."

When Aqua said this, the visitor gave an aggrieved explanation, but thanks to Aqua's stupidity, the scary atmosphere was swept away.

"Are you here too late?"

Yu Jian Xiangye complained slightly to a few people.

"You, don't show up so suddenly! I thought my heartbeat was going to stop."

Xiao Lin patted his chest.

Megumin also calmed down and said: "I remembered, it seems that you were already here to investigate first... But why did you appear in such a deep place? Didn't you meet General Dong?"

"No, I didn't meet General Dong."

Yu Jian Xiangye shook his head and explained: "After I separated from you, I heard that the material was here, so I kept investigating around the snowfield. But after waiting for you for a long time, you didn't come. I have almost finished investigating all the information. Ah. That’s why I started doing field research.”

Yes.

That was before going to the sewers.

Researcher Rafe said that two people were needed to investigate. Chris went to Alcanredia, and Mitsurugi Hibiki came to the depths of the snowfield. In addition, they also went to the Red Devil, so they arrived so late. It's also normal.

but……

"Site investigation, are you serious about this place where there is only ice?"

"What about the snow elves before coming here? Isn't it so cold that they can't walk normally?"

Kobayashi and Aqua were curious.

yes.

They worked hard to get here, and Yu Jian Xiangye even stayed here for a long time.

How is it done?

"Snow elves?" Yu Jianxiangye was a little confused, but then he said matter-of-factly: "The large number is really troublesome, but thanks to the HeatRing, I can fight against the cold. After that, I just paid attention to the appearance of General Dong while doing this. Camp in a sheltered place and continue to investigate.”

"Although there are measures to keep out the cold, living in a place like this is too exaggerated."

Megumin was a little surprised.

Xiao Lin also said in disbelief: "It has nothing to do with level, it can be solved by just relying on the original performance... How high is your quality?"

"Live here... live here and feel the cold..."

Darkness's cheeks were rosy.

She expressed that she wanted to experience life here.

Xiaolin had no time to care about the self-generated perverted female knight, so he turned around and asked: "So, what are the results of the investigation?"

"That material was created by the snow elves, which means that Rafe's investigation results seem to be correct. To be more precise, when the king appears among the snow elves, it seems to be created in that guy's body."

This is really good news!

It's already very good that Yu Jian Xiangye can investigate to this point.

Darkness also woke up from her fantasy, and she said seriously: "Isn't that number of snow elves also accidental?"

"Although it hasn't been found yet, there must be a king somewhere in this iceberg. As long as it is defeated, the goal will be achieved." Yu Jian Xiangye made such an assertion.

"Then there is no need to say more, find the king quickly and defeat it!"

"If it is so easy to find, I won't be so hard..."

Yu Jian Xiangye sighed slightly.

You know, he has been here for half a month. He hasn't found the king of the snow elves for such a long time. Even if a few more people are added, how can he find it in a short time?

This is undoubtedly a protracted battle.

I don't know if Lady Aqua can bear it...

Just when Yuken Hibiki was thinking this, he turned his head to look at Aqua beside him, and was slightly stunned and said: "What's wrong, Lady Aqua?"

"Stare--"

Aqua stared at Yuken Hibiki's bracelet and said: "I say, this thing you are wearing is the Heat Ring you just mentioned, right?"

"Huh? Yes, it's something I got when I was adventuring before." Yuken Hibiki said this, and at the same time looked at Aqua's hand, and was slightly stunned and said: "Although Lady Aqua is wearing... it looks like a Heat Ring, but isn't it a low-quality product?"

Soon, he glared at Xiaolin with a little anger.

"Could it be... Xiaolin! Are you so stingy with Aqua-sama's equipment!?"

"No! It's out of stock, so I can only buy this. Otherwise, I can only use Salamander as a substitute."

"What are you going to do if you freeze to death in a place like this! Aqua-sama, please use this Heat Ring!"

Mikoto Hibiki pretended to take off his bracelet and put it on Aqua.

Aqua must be taking advantage of Mikoto Hibiki's love for her.

If it were normal, Xiaolin would definitely not stop him.

But this is a snowy mountain.

To be honest, compared to Aqua, who can't help and may even make things worse, Xiaolin thinks that Mikoto Hibiki, who is still good even without the magic sword, is more reliable.

"Wait, Mitsurugi! Don't indulge Aqua!"

"Xiaolin, what are you talking about here! Nijian said it's okay, so it's okay!"

"No! At this time, Mitsurugi is more important than you!"

Xiaolin stopped Mitsurugi Hibiki from taking off the bracelet.

But Mitsurugi Hibiki didn't appreciate it. He shouted: "Hey, let go Xiaolin, I'm willing to do it for Aqua-sama...!"

"Xiaolin, don't hinder me~~! Ah...!?"

During the tug, Aqua suddenly fell to the ground, and Mitsurugi Hibiki exclaimed excitedly.

"Ah, you fell beautifully."

Xiaolin crossed his arms and said with a little pride: "It's because you, Aqua, only care about yourself and are selfish that you encounter this kind of thing... Hey, Aqua, where are you going?!"

Then they saw Aqua sliding forward along the slope, and getting farther and farther away from them.

Aqua looked panicked.

"No, no...! The momentum of sliding can't be stopped at all?!"

Her figure gradually disappeared.

Megumin suddenly said, "Aqua...slipped into the depths of the cave."

"Oh, oh, oh! Kobayashi, hurry up and catch up!" Darkness shouted.

"Ahhh, come on! Can't that guy be more honest? Hurry up and retrieve her!"

Kobayashi scratched his head.

Mitsurugi Hibiki also said immediately, "I want to join your team too! Kobayashi, give me instructions! Ah, Aqua-sama!"

"Waaaaa————"

Aqua's wailing was heard in the distance, and everyone quickly chased after her.

————

"It's really dangerous. Aqua-sama, are you injured?"

"I'm scared, I'm scared to death...!"

Aqua took Mitsurugi Hibiki's hand and slowly stood up from the ground.

Mitsurugi Hibiki clenched his fist and said, "With me by your side, this kind of thing won't happen again!"

Seriously, don't set a flag anymore.

"Before that, I want to prepare. Let's go back to Axel first."

"Showing up in the middle and taking the initiative again..."

Kobayashi pulled the corner of his mouth.

This guy just said that he wanted to join the team and let him give him instructions.

But, it's true.

The front seems to be very tricky, and coupled with the information from Yuken Hibiki, it will take a long time to find the king of the snow elves. It's better to go back and make some preparations.

The group returned to Axel.

After preparing for a long-term battle, they came back again.

"Okay, this time we must recover the permanent ice crystals and then go back!"

When he shouted so seriously.

Behind him, Yuken Hibiki carefully supported Aqua and reminded her with concern: "Aqua, please be careful when you move forward. Do you need help?"

"It's okay, this is just a small matter. I was indeed negligent before-"

As soon as she finished speaking, she fell again.

Then she slid down the slope and slid towards the cave again.

"Again!?"

"Aqua-sama——!"

It's a predictable development, I'm not surprised at all, hehehe——

"Hey, hey, hey——"

"It's Aqua-sama's voice! Aqua-sama, are you okay?"

Yujian Xiangye ran over quickly and helped her up.

Aqua was trembling with fear.

"It scared me, it scared me to death! The ground is so slippery that I can't go back!"

"It's true, the ground is quite slippery. Xiaolin, it's better to proceed more carefully."

Darkness said so.

Xiao Lin walked forward little by little.

"Oh, what is this? Damn it, I can't move as I want."

It's a maze with a slippery floor.

Really, to fall into such a troublesome place, this useless goddess...!

"There's no other way, just look for the permanent crystal."

"Little, little, little...Mr. Xiaolin, um, look at that!"

Aqua said this cringingly.

Looking in the direction of her finger, the remains of a victim were lying there, seemingly sleeping here forever because of lack of supplies.

"This is……"

After Yu Jian Xiangye looked at it, he said: "The road was blocked by ice blocks. Did you get lost and die?... It's really a pity."

"All his luggage is here. Do you want to go investigate?"

"Hey, you will be punished by God!"

As soon as Xiao Lin finished speaking, he was retorted by Yu Jian Xiangye.

He didn't want to take away the other person's relics or anything like that, he just wanted to know who the owner of this skeleton was, why he was lying here, and what happened before. It would also be nice to return him to his family if possible.

"There are notes. Let's see if there is anything written."

Darkness motioned for them to come closer.

"What the hell... On the tenth day of exploration, my companion fell into a hole and it was difficult to rendezvous. Almost all the thawing agent was in the other party's luggage. It was impossible to move forward like this, and the way back was also frozen. If there had been that thawing agent... …It stopped here.”

This note is slightly unsettling and heart-wrenching.

"When we return to the city, we should look for the family members of the deceased, even if we just return the notes to them."

Everyone nodded.

He said that when he returned, he would look for his body.

Yu Jian Xiangye touched his chin and said: "Defreezing agent... This is necessary in order to melt the ice and continue moving forward. Maybe there is remaining thawing agent, let's go find the cave."

Then everyone dispersed and searched in the cave.

Soon, an object was discovered in a cave...?

"It's the body of an adventurer. It may contain defrostant. Okay, let's recover it."

After a lot of effort, the two finally recovered the body and found a thawing agent from it.

"Okay, now there will be no problems in the maze."

"...Probably, I hope these thawing agents can support our activities in this cave. If we use them up first, we might turn into a skeleton like those two people."

"Don't say such unlucky words!"

Yu Jian Xiangye couldn't help shouting.
