On the Northland Ice Sheet.

The expedition is continuing through the snow.

However, unlike the extremely difficult situation in the previous blizzard, at this moment, they were rested and full of physical strength, and the snowstorm was even more isolated by the light of the lantern in the sea.

Between the white sky and the earth, they continued to move forward on the ground like a beacon that constantly moved its position.

“……”

"Mr. Ronald, is this lantern some kind of magic appliance?"

Sheltered by this artifact.

Bettina in the team couldn't help but ask.

The girl, who was actually a doctor for the expedition, was being cared for in this cold ice field, and as a doctor, she immediately had in mind some ways to use the lantern.

If this thing can be popularized in the medical industry.

In many cases, patients who would otherwise be difficult to save may be given a chance to survive.

"I think if it is used well, it can give many patients the possibility of survival."

Ronald could feel the emotions in Betina's heart and understood it very well.

After all, in this era, there was no modern medical environment, and only the light for patients during surgery, and the safe environment provided by the lantern itself.

It's all something that makes Bettina care so much.

Even this girl didn't know the true function of the artifact of the Peerless Sea Lantern.

So Ronald sorted out the language a little and explained seriously:

"Betina, the Peerless Sea Lantern is an artifact, and I brought it back here from the Nameless Sea for some special reason."

"If it's for medical care, I certainly don't mind sharing its capabilities. But this thing also hides some more dangerous effects, and I'm worried that if someone gets it, it will bring very terrible things. ”

What Ronald said in his mouth is naturally the strengthening effect provided by the Absolute Sea.

In addition to the seemingly never-extinguishing flame, the Sea Lantern can also incinerate the souls of enemies after death, which in turn can be used to strengthen the wielder's abilities.

This feature.

It's just a place like the Nameless Sea......

If it is popularized from the real world, Ronald still feels that it is more likely to bring disaster.

"Well, I know......"

Hearing Ronald's explanation, Bettina's expression was a little unwilling.

But thinking about the performance of Ronald and Costadt after the expedition entered the Northland, the girl nodded wisely, and then stopped focusing on the issue of the lantern in the sea.

“……”

"Mr. Ronald, what is this?"

A few hours later, Javik, the hunter who walked ahead, noticed something of concern.

The crowd gathered around to take a look.

On the snowflake-covered ice, strips of white powder were falling together.

With the ability of the expedition of the people.

Except for the fact that it was confirmed that it was not something that could have been produced naturally in the middle of the snow, no other information could be confirmed.

"This thing...... I've never seen it before? ”

Several members of the expedition team could not recognize the origin of this thing, so naturally some people were ready to take samples and study it carefully.

But at this moment, Kostadt suddenly spoke:

"This thing is the excrement of the summoned creature you just had."

"There shouldn't be any research value."

“……”

Hearing this reminder, some people's movements immediately froze.

After a subtle and awkward silence, Giovanni, the leader of the expedition, burst into laughter:

"Hahaha-"

"When I used to explore......"

"I have had conflicts with the local government, I have had conflicts with indigenous tribes, and I have also met fellow explorers who want to cut off their beards."

"But to be honest, it was really the first experience to encounter this kind of invasion of otherworldly creatures."

Giovanni's opening is just right.

Seeing that the leader relieved the embarrassing atmosphere in the team, some players on the side immediately responded to the meeting:

"yes, yes."

"Who would have thought before setting off that the original simple trip to the North Pole would suddenly have so many things!"

“……”

After a small interlude, the team moved on.

However, it was precisely because of this discovery that someone in the team began to think about related questions, and soon asked Ronald:

"Mr. Ronald, according to what you said earlier-"

"Now beneath that Soaring Peak in the Northlands, a dangerous dust beast sleeps; At the same time, there are also summoned creatures that are ready to invade the human world, converging in the surrounding ice fields. ”

"These two things collide together......

"You must have a plan in mind, right?"

This question.

It happened to be asked about Ronald's contradictions.

Ever since he met Frieg yesterday, he's been thinking about the question between the two.

The first is the dust behemoth hidden in the Northlands.

Once this guy wakes up, it is likely to bring extreme changes in the global climate. Either kill it in its slumber, or deal with the problems it may cause in advance, in short, this must be dealt with before the arrival of spring.

On the other hand, the minion is here.

From a purely human standpoint, these summoned creatures gathered in the Northlands must also be indispensable for a conspiracy against humans.

If they are allowed to continue with the plan unharmed.

Then the city of Waterfall, and even the whole of Entrode, may encounter an unprecedented disaster. If the summoned creatures don't have a good sense of morality, slaughtering a city will be like a joke.

So if you want to protect the safety of human beings, this is also something that must be dealt with.

And so - the contradiction came out.

Is it to deal with the dust behemoth first?

Or deal with a colony of minimons hiding in the Northland tundra?

Analyze from the route. The journey to the North Pole must be straight to the north and unstoppable; If the colony of the summons is to be dealt with, then at this point Ronald must change direction to the west and reach the rift of the ice fields that Fleg is talking about.

“……”

"You're right......"

With a little emotion, Ronald also made a decision in his heart, and then turned his gaze to Kostadt's side:

"Kostadt, come, come!"

"Sir, is there anything wrong?"

The maid stepped forward in two steps, asking as usual questions.

And in front of all the expedition members, Ronald handed the Peerless Sea Lantern in his hand to Kostadt, and then solemnly arranged:

"Kostadt, things on both sides are very important right now, so let's split up."

"You take the lantern of the sea and take care of the expedition to continue north; And I'll have to see what the minions over there are going to do. ”

"It's up to you, okay?"

"Sir!" Hearing Ronald's serious tone, Costadt solemnly held the Juhai Lantern with both hands, and then bowed slightly, "Please leave this task to me." ”

"Kostadt, you won't be disappointed!"
