Chapter 664 Snow Elf King
I always feel that General Dong’s strength has become stronger.
"Well, that doesn't matter... Anyway, where are we now?"
Aqua looked around optimistically.
"Hmm... deep in the snowy mountains?" Xiao Lin said uncertainly, and then asked doubtfully: "Will there be permanent crystals here?"
Darkness and Megumin were also surprised.
"I didn't know there was such an iceberg deeper in the snowfield."
"By the way, this scene is too spectacular... Can you say that the whole mountain is frozen..."
"You'll slip if you look around too much, right?"
Kobayashi warned.
however--
"Really? Xiaolin is such a worrier. No one would slip in a place like this... Wow!"
The stupid goddess fell flat on her face.
"Ass, my ass..."
She fell to the ground wailing.
Xiaolin reluctantly helped her up and angrily said, "Aqua, why do you have to set up a flag so seriously?"
"Wow ah-"
She cried out loudly.
Xiao Lin said to the group, "Everyone, be careful with your steps. There is a possibility of a sudden attack from monsters. If you encounter a strange or suspicious person, you must act first..."
“Hey…hey…!”
"Xiaolin, did you hear anything just now?"
Aqua asked Kobayashi while listening attentively.
"Ah? What do you mean?"
"Hello-ah, it sounds like someone is calling something..."
"Don't be silly. How can anyone in a place with ice everywhere--"
Just when Xiaolin wanted to deny it and tell her that no one else would be here, a clearer shout came from a distance.
“Hey! Hey!!!”
"..."
Xiaolin twitched the corner of his mouth.
Aqua tugged at the corner of his clothes in panic.
"Xiao Lin, you really heard it, didn't you?"
"No, no, no, it must be the sound of the wind or something. I'm just hallucinating because I'm too tired."
"No, I heard it clearly too!"
"Me too. Sure enough, there must be someone out there somewhere..."
Megumin and Darkness said the same thing.
The expressions of the two men became slightly serious.
The surrounding snow-capped mountains were completely silent and devoid of human habitation. The only thing that could appear here was——
"Where is somewhere? The sounds you can hear in a place like this can only be ghosts!"
"——Really, how long are you going to make me wait?!"
“Wa ...
Several people shouted at the same time.
The violent shouting seemed to scare the figure, and he walked out from the bushes nearby, wearing a cloak, but the white snow falling on him showed that he was a real human being.
Not only that.
"What, what happened, Xiaolin? You made such a loud noise..."
"Huh? Could it be a magpie?"
"Lady Aqua, my name is Mitsurugi."
After being told this by Aqua, the visitor explained aggrievedly, but thanks to Aqua's stupidity, the scary atmosphere was swept away.
"Are you guys too late?"
Yu Jian Xiangye complained slightly to a few people.
"C-Come on, don't show up so suddenly! I thought my heart was going to stop."
Xiaolin patted his chest.
Huihui also calmed down and said, "I remember that you seemed to have been investigating here first... But why did you appear in such a deep place? Didn't you meet General Dong?"
"No, I did not meet General Winter."
Yu Jian Xiangye shook his head and explained: "After I separated from you, I heard that the material was here, so I have been investigating around the snowfield. But I waited for you for a long time and you didn't come. I almost finished investigating all the information. So I started the field investigation."
Yes.
That was before going to the sewer.
Researcher Raph said that two people were needed to investigate. Chris went to Alcanretia, and Yuito Miki went deep into the snowfield. In addition, they also went to the Crimson Devil's Village, so it was normal for them to come so late.
but……
"On-site investigation, are you serious about this place where there's only ice?"
"What about the snow elves before they came here? Wouldn't they be unable to walk normally in this cold?"
Kobayashi and Aqua were curious.
Yes.
They had gone through a lot of hardships to get here, and Yu Jian Xiangye even stayed here for a long time.
How is it done?
"Snow elves?" Yukihime was a little confused, but then he said as a matter of course: "Too many of them is indeed troublesome, but thanks to the HeatRing, I can fight the cold. After that, I camped in this sheltered place while keeping an eye out for the appearance of General Winter and continued my investigation."
"Although there are measures to keep out the cold, it's too much to live in a place like this."
Huihui was a little surprised.
Xiao Lin was also surprised and said: "It has nothing to do with the level, it can be solved just by relying on the original performance... How high is your quality?"
"Living here... Living here and feeling the cold..."
Darkness’ cheeks flushed red.
She expressed that she really wanted to experience life here.
Kobayashi didn't have time to care about the perverted female knight who was self-generating. He turned around and asked, "So, what are the results of the investigation?"
"That material was created by the snow elves, which means that Raph's investigation results seem to be correct. To be more precise, when a 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 has been able to investigate to this point.
Darkness also woke up from her fantasy. She said seriously, "That number of snow elves, isn't that a coincidence?"
"Although we haven't found it yet, there must be a king somewhere on this iceberg. As long as we defeat it, our goal will be achieved." Yu Jian Xiangye made such an assertion.
"Then there is no need to say more, let's quickly find the king and defeat him!"
"If it was so easy to find, I wouldn't have to work so hard..."
Yu Jian Xiangye sighed slightly.
You have to know that he has been here for half a month, and he hasn't found the king of the snow elves in such a long time. Even if a few more people are added, how can he find him in a short time?
This will undoubtedly be a protracted battle.
I don't know if Lady Aqua can bear it...
Just as Yuito Yui was thinking this, he turned to look at Aqua beside him, and said in surprise: "What's wrong, Lady Aqua?"
"stare--"
Aqua stared at Mitsurugi Hibiki's bracelet and said, "I say, this thing you're wearing is the Heat Ring you mentioned earlier, right?"
"Hmm? Yes, it's something I got during my previous adventure." Mitsurugi Hibiki said, and at the same time, he looked at Aqua's hand and said in surprise: "The one Aqua-sama is wearing... Although it looks like a HeatRing, isn't it a low-quality product?"
Soon, he glared at Xiaolin with slight anger.
“Could it be… Krillin! Are you so stingy with Aqua-sama’s equipment!?”
"No! It's out of stock, so we can only buy this. Otherwise, we can only use the 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!”
Mitsurugi Hibiki pretended to take off his bracelet and put it on Aqua.
This guy Aqua must be taking advantage of the fact that she is loved by Mitsurugi Hibiki and taking advantage of the other person's heart.
Under normal circumstances, Xiaolin would definitely not stop it.
But these are snowy mountains.
Honestly speaking, compared to Aqua who is of no help and might even make things worse, Krillin thinks that Mitsurugi Hibiki, who is still quite capable even without the magic sword, is more reliable.
"Wait Mitsurugi! Don't indulge Aqua!"
"Xiao Lin, what are you talking about? Ni Jian said it's okay, so it's okay then!"
"No! At a time like this, Yu Jian is more important than you!"
Kobayashi stops Mitsurugi Hibiki from taking off the bracelet.
But Mitsurugi Hibiki didn't appreciate it. He shouted, "Hey, let go of Xiaolin. I am willing to do this for Lady Aqua..."
"Xiaolin, don't get in my way~~! Ah...!?"
During the struggle, Aqua suddenly fell to the ground, and Mitsurugi Hibiki exclaimed excitedly.
"Ahh, that's a beautiful fall."
Kobayashi 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?!"
They saw Aqua sliding down the slope, getting farther and farther away from them.
Aqua looked panicked.
“No, that’s not it…! You can’t stop sliding?!”
Her figure gradually disappeared.
Megumin suddenly said, “Aqua…slid deeper into the cave.”
“Oh, oh no! Xiaolin, hurry up and catch up!” Darkness shouted.
“Ahhh, really! Can’t that guy just behave himself? Go get her back now!”
Xiaolin scratched his head.
Mitsurugi Hibiki also spoke up immediately: "I want to join your team too! Xiaolin, give me instructions! Ah, Lady Aqua!"
“Waaaaaa——”
Aqua's wailing could be heard in the distance, and everyone quickly chased after her.
----
"It's really dangerous. Lady Aqua, are you injured?"
“I’m so scared…!”
Aqua took Mitsurugi Hibiki's hand and slowly stood up from the ground.
Yu Jian Xiangye clenched his fist and said, "With me by your side, this kind of thing will never happen again!"
Seriously, stop setting flags.
"Before that, I want to get ready. Let's go back to Axel first."
"Showing up midway and taking the initiative..."
Xiaolin twitched the corner of his mouth.
This guy just said he wanted to join the team and asked me to give him instructions.
But, yes.
The situation ahead seems to be very tricky. Coupled with the information provided by Yu Jian Xiangye, it will take some time to find the king of the snow elves. It would be better to go back and make some preparations first.
The group returned to Axel.
After preparing for a protracted battle, they returned again.
"Okay, this time we must recover the permanent ice crystals and then go back!"
When he shouted so seriously.
Behind him, Yukihime carefully supported Aqua and reminded her with concern: "Lady Aqua, please be careful with your steps. Do you need help?"
"It's okay. It's just a small matter. I was indeed negligent before—"
As soon as she finished speaking, she fell down again.
Then he slid down the ramp toward the cave again.
"Again!?"
"Aqua-sama——!"
This is a foreseeable development. I'm not surprised at all, hehe——
“Ahhhhhh——”
"It's Aqua-sama's voice! Aqua-sama, are you okay?"
Yu Jian Xiangye ran over quickly and helped her up.
Aqua was shaking with fear.
"I'm so scared! The ground is so slippery, there's no way I can go back!"
"Really? The ground is quite slippery. Xiaolin, you'd better move forward carefully."
Darkness said so.
Xiaolin walked forward little by little.
"Ohh, what is this? Damn it, I can't move the way I want."
It is a maze with a slippery floor.
Really, I ended up in such a troublesome place, this useless goddess...!
"There's no other way. Let's just look for the permanent crystal."
"Mr. Kobayashi, look at that!"
Aqua said this timidly.
Looking in the direction of her finger, the remains of a victim were lying there. It seemed that they had run out of supplies and were sleeping here forever.
"This is……"
After taking a look, Mitsurugi Hibiki said, "The road was blocked by ice. Did they get lost and get into trouble?... It's really a pity."
"All his luggage is here. Do you want to investigate?"
"Hey, you'll be punished by God!"
As soon as Kobayashi finished speaking, he was refuted by Mitsurugi Hibiki.
He didn't want to take away the other party's relics or anything like that, he just wanted to know who the owner of the skeleton was, why he was lying here, and what happened before. If possible, it would be nice to return him to his family.
"There are notes. Let's see if there's anything written on it."
Darkness motioned for them to come closer.
"What... On the tenth day of exploration, our companions fell into a cave and it was difficult to reunite. The thaw agent was mostly in their luggage, so we couldn't move forward and the way back was frozen. If we had the thaw agent... we would have been interrupted here."
This note is slightly unsettling and heartbreaking.
"When we get back to the city, let's look for the deceased's family, even if it's just to return the notebook to them."
Everyone nodded.
He said that when he returns, he will look for his real body.
Mitsurugi Hibiki touched his chin and said, "Thawed agent... In order to melt the ice and keep moving forward, this is necessary. Maybe there is some thawed agent left, let's go find a cave."
Then everyone scattered and continued searching in the cave.
Soon, the object was found in a cave...?
"It's the body of an adventurer. It might have thawing agent. Okay, let's recover it."
After great efforts, the two finally recovered the body and found the thawing agent in it.
"Good, now there won't be any problems in the maze."
"… Maybe. I hope this thaw agent can sustain our activities in this cave. If it runs out first, we might end up like those two people, turning into a skeleton."
"Don't say such unlucky words!"
Yu Jian Xiangye couldn't help but shout.
