Crocodile's Ark of Tomorrow

The further north he went, the more difficult Gard found himself to communicate with other people through the world of consciousness, because the existence of the empire of consciousness relied on the source stone.

Meanwhile, in the northern part of Terra Continent, the concentration of Originium particles in the air is decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Gard, I can't help you too much in this kind of place."

Inside the axe, Miss Black Dragon's voice came from inside.

After losing her physical body, she can temporarily recover and return to her full form by condensing the source stones, but if the concentration of source stones around her is too low, her power will naturally be greatly reduced.

"It's okay, I'll be careful."

Exhaling lightly, feeling the biting cold wind around, looking at the world that has been completely covered in ice and snow.

Gard's blood began to boil.

'Tundra, here I come! '

......

Volume 52 Come to their family: Chapter [-] The city of nightmares!

Cold wind like a knife.

A bare sole crushed the snow and ice on the ground, coming from the south.

Because he ran thousands of kilometers in a few days, the sandals Gard bought in Colombia were officially retired, leaving only a pair of shorts and a shirt flapping in the strong wind.

Bare feet stepped on the icy land, from Casimir to Ursas, and then to the tundra completely covered by ice and snow.

The surrounding temperature has dropped to minus [-] degrees. Whether it is Snitz or Yolanta, their armor has a warm layer made of wild animal fur inside. The coat of the female inner guard Christina also has a certain warmth effect.

Only Gard was wearing shirts and shorts from the beginning to the end. Yolanta was a little worried about whether he could withstand the low temperature of the permafrost, but found that the temperature on Gard's body remained at a certain level from the beginning to the end.

In fact, Gard overlooked one thing.

Although the Adacles are crocodiles, they are also crocodiles.

Although after evolving into adults, the body temperature of Adacles is no longer often affected by the external environment, and can be adjusted to a certain extent.

But if the surrounding temperature is too low, it is easy to destroy this balance.

Therefore, the Adacles generally live in the southern rainforest, and rarely appear in the north, and the crocodile people who are willing to live in places like Sami and Ursas are even rarer.

I didn't feel this way when I was in Casimir before, but after I came to Ursus and the tundra, Gard discovered something.

He was a little sleepy.

Even becoming an Ascender failed to change the survival instinct engraved on the genetic level. The crocodile's genes told Gard that he should sleep when the weather was cold.

However, as an ascender, this kind of problem can be overcome only by working hard.

Almost heading in the direction due north of Casimir, after running for a whole day, crossing Usas, the group finally arrived at their destination - a small outpost built in an area unexplored by humans. town.

It is thousands of kilometers away from the nearest mobile city of Ursas. Instead of trading with Ursas, it is better to find the nearest Sami tribes.

Some Sami people will also come to the town to exchange water and food, as well as some daily necessities.

Gard even saw a five-meter-tall Cyclops wearing a thick coat, leaning against a sentry tower at the base of an outpost, sitting on a high ground looking out.

"Snitz, you are back."

Seeing Gard and his party, Cyclops stood up.

When he stood up, he was no shorter than the sentry tower at all, but his body was thinner. Looking at it from a distance, he looked very capable.

"Crom."

Snitz greeted with a smile. Although he was not short, he still had to raise his head when facing the Cyclops.

"How are things going these days?"

"Fortunately, not long after you left, the demon only carried out a routine surprise attack, and there were no casualties."

The dull voice of the Cyclops sounded. Snitz and Yolanta had only been away for less than a week. Before leaving, they had made a lot of preparations, and it was no problem to deal with some mindless demons.

As he spoke, the giant looked up and looked behind Snitz.

"Inside guard?"

"Don't worry, she won't fight us, country and race don't matter here, do they?"

"I hope so."

He also glanced at Gard, although he was surprised why an Adacles appeared in such a place, but compared with the inner guard, one more Adacles and one less Adacles is not so important.

"Crom is a warrior I borrowed from the Cyclops tribe on Sami's side. His observation ability is excellent, and the unique divination ability of the Cyclops can help us predict the weather and detect the movements of those demons."

Snitz explained that there were a total of eleven cyclops in the town, and he had borrowed them from Sammy in exchange.

The cooperation of different races can maximize their talents, and the effect is far from being as simple as one plus one equals two.

However, this kind of thing is easy to say, but if you want the soldiers under your command to trust a group of Sarkaz, it may not be something that can be done overnight.

Yes, the Cyclops is actually one of the many tribes of Sarkaz, and until now, they are among the ten kings of Sarkaz.

It’s just that many years ago, just like the Wendigo tribe that left Kazdel under the leadership of a pure-blooded Wendigo, the Cyclops tribe also left Kazdale countless years ago, and went to Sa Meter.

No matter what crimes the Sarkaz committed in the past, time is enough to wash away everything. Their descendants, the Wendigo tribe and the Cyclops tribe have always been the main force against the demons in the frozen land.

However, when Gard saw the soldiers led by Snitz, he immediately understood why the soldiers under Snitz were willing to accept a group of Cyclopes from Sarkaz.

Because they are also a group of races rejected by Terra.

"Batulu, this is on the grassland, it means 'brave man', this is the name of our town."

Even on the permafrost at minus [-] degrees, vegetation still grows. The trees here are straight, slender, and tall. They will spend the whole spring, autumn, and winter waiting for the only season that can enjoy the warmth of the four seasons. .

They are unfortunate, for when the rainforests of Akahura are swaying and the green hills are green, the tundra forests are cold and snow-covered.

They are lucky, because they can at least enjoy the only warmth that occurs during the four seasons.

And go further north for hundreds of kilometers, to the end of the Terra civilization, where there is no qualification to enjoy warmth, the demons will devour all life, hunting all weak life in the dark.

When Gard followed Snitz across the taiga and climbed the snow, the blond Kuranta man proudly introduced Gard to the city he was guarding—a small town built on a dormant volcano.

The clear lake water ripples in the crater, and although it is still winter, the warmth of the volcano makes the vegetation around the lake look lush.

Gard saw arable land at the corner of the volcano, and a corner of the lake surrounded by a fence, where scale animals were raised, and from a distance, people could be seen grazing.

Cyclops and Kuranta's knights walked side by side.

The blacksmith raised the fire and repaired the damaged weapons.

Children are being taught their language and writing.

Sociologists on Terra speculate that extinct nightmares thrive here.

This is the city of nightmares!

......

Volume 53 Visiting Their Family: Chapter [-] Order: We Meet Again

The town of nightmares is built around the volcanic pool. Although it is not enough to make the crater feel like spring all year round, it is still more comfortable than the temperature outside the crater.

There are not many people living here, only tens of thousands. Basically, the nightmares are the main body, and some Casimirs, Ursas and Samis are mixed.

Most of the Casimirs were exiled like Snitz and Yolanta, and they were entrusted with important tasks on the surface. In fact, coming here is no different from being exiled.

Some Ursus people come from civilians in the north of Ursas, and some come from the Ursas military, and the number is not large.

Sami people come here more to communicate.

Because the town of the nightmares is very close to Sami's defense line, there is an offensive and defensive agreement between the two sides, and there are often some exchanges in personnel.

In the north of Terra, the line of defense against demons is composed of three countries, Sami-Ursas-Yan, and forces such as Nightmare Town are independent of the three countries.

Sami had the idea of ​​subsidizing Nightmare, and Ursas also wanted to subdue Nightmare, but in the end it was Snitz and Yolanta, who were half-exiled by Casimir, to complete this task.

They didn't subdue the nightmare, they just became the nightmare.

They can't get out of here.

Because they can't abandon the nightmare living here.

They were born in Casimir, and when Casimir needs them, they are Casimir.

But, when Casimir doesn't need it.

They are nightmares!

From the crater down, when seeing the couple, all the residents of the small town put down their busy work.

Snitz and Yoranta leaned on each other and looked at Gard.

"Garde, welcome to our town!"

There are a total of 3 townspeople with the blood of Nightmare in the town, and half of them are capable of fighting in armor.

This is a power that no country can underestimate even in modern times, even if it has no way to reproduce the glory of Nightmare Khan thousands of years ago.

The charge launched by tens of thousands of nightmare knights also has the power to subvert a war.

Therefore, Snitz and Yolanta can no longer go back.

Ursus wouldn't let them go back, Letania didn't dare to let them go back, and Sammy didn't want them to give up their mission and go back to Casimir either.

"...that's pathetic."

The female inner guard's voice sounded behind Gard.

"Betrayed by my compatriots, I was exiled here, and I couldn't even return home."

"Even though I know my father, brother, and child are being bullied, there is nothing I can do about it."

"Is there anything more pathetic than this?"

Gard was not surprised that the female inner guard knew what happened to Linguang's family. The merchants of the Casimir Chamber of Commerce used the news that Linguang's family did not have a long horse and was about to lose their knighthood as a gimmick more than once. Princess Margaret's knightly competition was promoted.

It was no surprise that news reached Ursus.

but.

"How do you know that this is a sad thing for them?"
