Chapter 916: Investigation (I)
Snowstorm...... It's been going on for four days and four nights!
Through the goggles, Hill's gaze looked into the gloomy sky.
After accepting the commission of the head maid of Serena, she immediately set off, took the equipment that the head maid had prepared for her, and began to trek through mountains and rivers again.
Day and night, she finally came to the vicinity of the Blade Fortress at the end of the day, and at this point in the early hours of the morning, she was able to see a silver dragon flying in the sky, I have to say, the people who live in this principality are really lucky.
It is a kind of luck to have such a head maid who is willing to take responsibility for the common people, to create a strong country, and to be able to take care of every place—a kind of luck that people in other countries cannot even envy!
Growing up in the Free City-States Alliance, Hill has been accustomed to seeing life and death since he was a child.
Outside the city-state, there is always a group of displaced people, who are both poor and cannibalistic demons, and as they are outcasts, they also have the identity of 'bandits'.
They also have children, but many times, their children do not grow to adulthood, and even if they do grow up, maybe something will happen and they will die.
In this era, human life is poor and can be trampled on at will, whether it is a commoner, a wealthy merchant, or a nobleman.
This is Hill's deepest understanding of this world, so after the death of her parents, she no longer cherishes the memories given to her by the Free City-State Alliance, and begins to wander around the continent.
Just as she imagined at the beginning, this is the scene everywhere on the mainland, and there is no difference.
It wasn't until she had come to the principality and settled here for a while that it dawned on her that this place was different from other places.
There is no more responsible ruler in this world, now or in the past, than the chief servant of Serena, who is the most unique of all the stars that shine in this world today, and she is the pearl that has never been dusted.
So after that, Hill made up his mind to settle here.
Undoubtedly, no country she had been in had made her feel as good as this one, which was full of warmth from top to bottom, just like their rulers.
Hill withdrew his gaze and looked east.
From here, she could reach the Mason Prairie, where basically the 'suspicions' pointed out by the head maid were concentrated in the vicinity, and those places related to the Kingdom of Coulter, the Grand Guild of Cervantes went to check for himself.
It is also the only direction in which the armament of the Principality of Sorrow is the weakest, which is determined by geographical reasons and has nothing to do with whether the army of the Principality of Sorrow is lazy or not.
Although the starting point of the last 'Bloodline Awakening' incident was not here, it is now the most suspicious.
No fool would choose the direction that has been heavily armed, due to the last 'Bloodline Awakening' incident, and the recent reason why the cultists have suddenly become active, the Duchy of Sorrow has strengthened its armaments in other directions, and only in this direction, they have nothing to do now.
Although Hill had heard that the head maid wanted to extend the Great Wall here, until now, it was only an idea and had not been able to actually implement it.
As soon as he took off his mask and let out a breath of heat, Hill gasped, and a few clouds of mist melted into the wind in an instant.
After putting her mask back on, Ciel didn't feel the slightest bit cold, and almost all of her equipment was now provided by the head maid.
The clothes are not only warm, but also easy to move, otherwise it would be difficult for her to get here in a day and a night.
In addition to protecting the eyes, the goggles can also show some body values and 'scan', although there will be magic fluctuations when scanning, but in this blizzard, even Ciel's own magic perception is problematic, let alone other people's.
Thinking of this, Hill couldn't help but sigh again, 'I'm less and less like a human being', after experiencing 'transcendent into the body', her body has been changing, and this change has almost reached its peak when she became a 'legend'.
I've heard that some of the more powerful legends don't have a human-like body structure at all, and I don't know if this rumor is true......
Remembering the change in herself, Ciel smiled and continued to raise her steps and walk towards the east, she had rested enough.
The closer you get to the north, the closer you get to the Black Forest, the more violent the wind and snow become, and she estimates that if you cross the Great Wall, the wind will become a 'sword' and the snow will become a 'sword', and the wind and blizzard that sweep between heaven and earth can peel and debone anything.
After the Great Wall, there are at least three other magic energy furnaces that indirectly reduce the power of the wind and snow, and outside the Great Wall...... That's unthinkable!
Hill stepped on it, but she couldn't step on the ground, and the snow under her feet had been stacked in a thick layer, although it was due to the snow boots she was wearing now, but according to her calculations, even if she didn't wear snow boots, she wouldn't be able to step on the ground.
When she realized this, her face became grim.
She didn't care much about this matter, but ordinary people couldn't survive under this severe cold, and now the temperature was not too low, but the wind and snow were terrifying.
She couldn't imagine how people would have to feed at such a time.
It is difficult for even soldiers to act in such a situation, and the head maid will not let them do so, because this is to let the soldiers die, but can they really solve this problem with just some silver dragons, black dragon grand dukes, and red dragon scholars?
I'm afraid, if this continues, the head maid of Serena may have to mobilize the retired transcendent knights in the principality, and even the major churches will have to participate......
"Scan. ”
Looking ahead, Hill unmistakably pronounced the activation spell inside the mask.
An invisible wave of magic swept forward, and the feedback quickly appeared on the left lens.
'Scanning' was distracted by the magic of the wind and snow, but was still able to depict something thirty feet around Hill with Hill at its center.
Now the lenses showed the corpse of a fox just under her feet, which made her frown.
Many delicacies require the use of 'meat', and under the influence of this weather, the livestock will die in large numbers, which means that if she does not solve this problem sooner, she may not be able to eat many delicacies for a long time.
After listening to Serena's explanation, she also thought that there was a high probability that someone was indeed playing some kind of conspiracy in this matter.
Even if the magic tide comes, it will never be possible to set off a storm of this scale!
Hill continued to walk forward, and every once in a while, she would 'scan' it, and little by little, she noticed that something wasn't quite right.
"It's a corpse again......"
Frowning at her, Ciel looked back, and although the wind and snow had obscured her steps, as a legendary ranger, she could still tell where she was coming from, and she could call out the map stored in her goggles to compare.
There was the corpse of a beast buried at her feet, this time it wasn't a fox, but along the way, she scanned three beast corpses buried under the snow, and according to the map display and memory...... She didn't walk in a straight line, but it wasn't much different.
Standing still and thinking for a moment, Ciel chose to move on, but this time, she scanned her surroundings more frequently.
"Twice ......"
She had been walking for about thirteen minutes from the place she had just taken, but she had scanned out two beast carcasses from under the snow.
Hill's face darkened, looking at the snow beneath his feet.
She wondered if she should dig up the body...... ()
