Mystic Dominator

The end result of the conversation didn't exactly go well.

It can only be said that under Ronald's extremely patient explanation, Zeno reluctantly accepted his statement.

Or--

The man still chose to stick to his own ideas, just in order not to cause too much conflict, so he chose to get along with the members of the expedition in a euphemistic manner.

the next day.

The expedition left the camp and continued on its way.

Ronald recalled his conversation with Zeno yesterday after his actions, and couldn't help joking with Giovanni:

"Giovanni, in your past adventures, have you ever encountered a situation like this?"

Ronald was just a chat on the road.

But not wanting to hear this, Giovanni really nodded!

"This situation has actually happened before."

"When I was in Vinny, my companions and I went to find a legendary ancient temple. As a result, after my companions and I left the city and entered the mountains, the king of Vinny sent his army to follow. Behind us, open up the wild mountains and claim it as our own territory."

"Even when we finally found the temple—the soldiers surrounded me and all my companions in the temple, and announced on the spot that everything that was left in the temple belonged to the king of Vinny. All. We discoverers are not even allowed to study written records.”

"..."

This is too realistic, right?

Listen to Giovanni tell about his adventures.

While Ronald complained in his heart, he subconsciously looked back at Zeno and Shiva who were beside him.

Compare that to what Giovanni had been through.

Maybe these two opinionated city-state patrollers are unexpectedly good talkers?

"Giovanni, what about you after you were besieged in the temple?"

"It's all done. Vinny's people shouldn't simply let them go. How did you escape in the end?"

Ronald continued to ask curiously.

The leader of the expedition explained in a nostalgic tone:

"The end result is actually quite complicated."

"Because I was surrounded by that temple, the situation was very critical. In that case, one of my companions touched the position of a sacrificial utensil in a panic. It seemed to be connected to some kind of mechanism, and immediately This caused the structural collapse of the temple."

"In the end, the collapse even spread to the mountain, whether our expedition team or Vinny's army. In the end, it was quite embarrassing to escape from the ruins."

Speaking of which, Giovanni suddenly noticed something.

Then looked at Ronald beside him with inquiring eyes:

"It sounds weird."

"A normal mechanism, how can it cause that kind of terrifying scene of landslides. Ronald, do you think it is possible - there is actually a relic left by a spellcaster like you, so it will be triggered in the end. Such an exaggerated scene?"

When asked by Giovanni, Ronald was also a little curious.

So he confirmed the information:

"Where is the specific location of that place, and are there any other buildings around besides the temple?"

"In the Alsroth Mountains north of Vinny. From the town, we walked the whole way... Regardless of the search time, the goal is clear, and it is estimated that it will take two weeks to reach the location of the ruins."

"Then I think it should be the work of the caster." After receiving such information, Ronald quickly made a judgment, "Even if you leave the city and build the temple in the mountain, it will take two weeks to get out of the mountain. It's still outrageous."

"A human settlement on the scale of a temple will definitely need to have contact with the outside world under normal circumstances, even the caster."

"So based on your answer, I can only say that there is a high probability that it is a special stronghold established by the caster to control the number of people."

"..."

The leisure time on the road is spent little by little.

In this atmosphere, the expedition team continued to head north.

Because of the safety provided by the lanterns, the expedition was able to move at a normal speed even in an environment like the Arctic ice cap.

But on the third day on this continent.

Another urgent problem appeared before them.

So far, one third of the materials prepared before the expedition team set off has been consumed, but there is still a long way to go before the final goal.

If it is calculated according to the normal material consumption rate...

They can indeed reach the planet's North Pole before running out of resources.

But if you want to get back safely...

Then the amount of resources is definitely not enough

It is precisely because of this phenomenon that two members of the expedition team were obviously a little uneasy when they moved forward. Whenever the team took a break, as long as Ronald looked over, he could see that the two were looking back in the direction they came from.

For an expedition team.

This is definitely a very bad thing.

After this situation occurs in the general team, there is a high probability that it will continue to ferment and expand. As a seasoned explorer, Giovanni certainly couldn't let things go at will.

So that night.

The two simplest proposals were said by him in front of everyone.

In order to be responsible for the lives of the expedition members, Giovanni believes that there are two safest options-

First, they move on.

The team will turn back after reaching the North Pole, but this time the goal is not to return to La Tochoia from the road to the top of the mountain, but to use the influence of spatial changes to directly return to the southern hemisphere from Zeno and the others.

Second, whether or not the North Pole can be reached, the expedition must turn back before more than half of its resources are spent.

In this way, they can also ensure their safe return to Entrod.

Both options have pros and cons.

As the initiator of the expedition, Giovanni wanted to hear what the expedition members had to say.

Before camping at night.

Nine people raised a bonfire and sat in a circle. At the same time as dinner, Giovanni introduced two simple ideas of his own, and then also asked others around for their opinions.

"Of course, this is really just my family's words."

"If you have any better way to come up with it~www.readwn.com~ I will also be happy to accept it."

As a hunter, Javik immediately spoke:

"Materials can actually be supplemented."

"Water problem - there's ice all over the place, we just have to boil it and we'll be safe."

"But I'm not sure about the food. The animals here are all types of animals I've never dealt with, and I can't confirm the difficulty of catching them and whether they're edible. And if someone is injured during the hunt, The result is also very dangerous.”

While making this suggestion, Javik simply shifted his gaze to Ronald.

As someone who just learned about the existence of the mysterious side.

Javik's idea is also simple.

You spellcasters with various abilities should be able to handle this problem, right?
