It is now late at night.

Chapter 37 On the verge of losing control (additional update)

The court mage took the cloth bag and took out a relatively complete carapace.

"Master Palace Mage, this is the monster we saw on the way, I think it is necessary to show you."

The nameless court mage weighed the carapace, then sniffed it lightly, and couldn't help frowning.

"That little girl named Williams damaged it too badly. If possible, I would like to get a more intact one - forget it, please send this bag back to Wendel first, His Majesty will need it."

"The smell of blood and curses...why would that child choose such a vicious spell."

The court mage muttered to himself, looking at the distant sky and the blurry steps of Atmonanki.

As the Bayakis continued to move forward, the outline of the mountains gradually became clearer.According to the direction of flight, the first place they arrived was Roncos.

As Lily Bell sees it in inspiration.

This place can no longer be called a city. Cedar City is covered under a large number of spider webs and is just a rubble ruin.

There is no need for search and rescue, and there will definitely be no survivors here.

A large number of blood-stained cocoons were suspended on the spider webs, and a rough calculation numbered them in the thousands. These were the residents of the entire city of Roncos.

Occasionally, there will be the sound of tearing fabrics, cocoons bursting, and creations with blasphemous postures, arachnid monsters made of human bodies and flesh haphazardly stacked and pieced together, emerge from the cocoons.

They quietly looked at the black shadow in the sky, and their newborn compound eyes flashed with a color of a special frequency.

Several huge cold spiders tried to shoot spider silk into the sky, but the silk was ultimately unable to reach Bayaki's flying height.

"Go to Bitter Winter, as predicted, Cedar City is over."

As Ella said this, there was no superfluous emotion on her face.Lily took a deep look at her and didn't say much.

The three-headed Baiyaki straddles the mountains and heads east. Winter City is located east of Roncos. The steep mountains between the two cities are a natural barrier.

The mountain road is rugged, and it may take a long time to climb over, but the straight-line distance between the two is not too long.

Not long after, the lights of Winter City appeared in the night. These small lights in the sky meant that the city was still standing.

The city is heavily guarded, and even late at night, there are still heavily armed defenders on the city walls and observation towers.

Soon some defenders noticed the abnormality in the air and set up their crossbows.

The guard knight stood up on Baiaki's back, waved the flag symbolizing the royal family, and after circling for a week, the monster landed on the city wall.

"It's Miss Bell and Monsieur Chevalier!"

The defenders relaxed their guard, they retreated to both sides or returned to their original positions, leaving a passage on the city wall.

The tall lord appeared between the passages. His face was covered with dust and stains, and his strong beard seemed to have been simply cut with a dagger.

The man's beard and hair are completely white, but he is still in his prime. His face is similar to that of the Snow King, showing obvious inhuman blood.

He laughed and walked forward, reached out and took Lily off Baiyaki's body, rubbed her head, and messed up the girl's golden curly hair.

"How about it, the celebration is quite enjoyable."

Lily struggled to free herself from his hands, seeming to feel very uncomfortable.

"Now isn't the time to talk about that?"

The man is none other than the Earl of Winter, Mitland Bell.

"After all, it's a pleasant reunion. Don't be so indifferent—well, since you're here, it means that Lao Tzu's request for help has been delivered? Where are the reinforcements?"

His tone was not like that of a pampered nobleman, it seemed a bit vulgar. The count looked up at the sky and asked suspiciously:

"Is it because I'm blind, or are they hiding? And I just sent someone for help yesterday, why did you arrive so quickly?"

As he spoke, his smile faded and his expression became serious.

Ashley clarified the current situation, and Mitland Bell was silent for a moment, and then touched his forehead.

"You are saying that we need to defend for another whole day. Charles Moria and the court mage will lead two thousand light cavalry to assist us in evacuating. Your Majesty means to give up the winter."

"I think so. Your Excellency should mobilize all the troops and hold on until the next dawn."

Ashley glanced across the city wall. There were only a thousand defenders here.

"With all due respect, Roncos has been destroyed. This amount of troops may not be able to withstand the attack of the cold spider swarm."

"Call the army?"

Mitran stretched out his broad right hand, and the half-circle of his palm covered the city walls and towers.

"Including me, all you see are all the soldiers who are still alive!"

Ashley's body froze suddenly. As the knight of Winter City, she knew the number of the army best.

There are less than half of the soldiers left now than before she left.

"Although they are monsters, their attacks can still be traced. According to previous experience, there should be no more attacks tonight. I will sleep for half an hour-since you are back, in order to prevent accidents Command the vigilance for me."

With that said, Earl Bell retreated to the inside of the city wall like an ordinary warrior, found a relatively clean place and sat down on the ground. He snored loudly almost as soon as he touched the ground.

Winter City is surrounded by mountains on one side, which should have been a natural barrier and a route that the enemy would not attack.But after two days of fighting, Mitran discovered that the monsters could easily climb up the mountain wall.As a result, the defense line was stretched to the hillside, and thick and thick defensive horses were temporarily built.

Ella found a secluded environment and carefully opened her sleeves. The skin there became thin and transparent, and even clear blood vessels and hand bones could be seen.

She drank another tube of calming potion, but she didn't feel better at all.

"Ella."

The girl quickly covered her sleeves.

"I've seen it, and I've felt something wrong with you since just now."

Lily came over and rolled up her sleeves again. The strange state made Lily's eyelids twitch.

"You told me it's called... out of control?"

"No, I'm fine, my spirit and magic are not damaged! Just need some tranquilizers, I'll be back to normal soon."

Ella denied it and pulled her arm away.

Ashley appeared on the other side,

"You should look at your face now."

As she spoke, she placed a smooth kite shield in front of Ella. In the dancing campfire, Ella could see her current face clearly.

Her face was pale and haggard, and her eyes felt strange to herself.It looked like a madman pretending to be normal, and there was some repressed emotion underlying that madness.

That kind of emotion does not belong to Ella Williams. The image reflected in the mirror is more like the girl named "Tina" who has been buried in the tomb.

Who are you now?

She began to be a little confused.

The girl put down her kite shield and looked at the dancing campfire. Other memories that she had instinctively abandoned emerged.

That was the memory of the girl Tina before Ella Williams woke up.

Chapter 38 Tina's Memory

The year 970 of the Nodens calendar.

Today is the seventh day of the Emerald Moon, and the weather is very cold.

The white snow covered the sight, and the cold wind made the environment even worse. No matter which direction you were facing, the cold snowflakes and biting wind seemed to hit the front door indiscriminately.

Mrs. Mapel drove a few goats through the forest in a hurry.Today's weather changed too quickly. When I went out in the afternoon, the weather was still sunny even by the standards of the Snow Country.

But on the way back, the snowstorm came without warning.

There is still some distance from the village, and it is very dangerous to drive in this kind of weather.

A little farther away, suddenly there was a flash of fire, and Mrs. Mapel looked up, and what appeared in front of her was the wooden house belonging to the hunter who lived with her.

This is good luck.

The old man counted the number of goats, one, two...five, not one.It can be used temporarily to avoid the wind and snow, and the owner of the house usually doesn't mind.

She drove the goats to the open area in front of the eaves. Plateau goats have thick fur and they are not afraid of the cold, but the old man felt that he was about to freeze.

It would be better if there was a stove in the cabin.

Mrs. Mapel thought so.

Although she didn't find the source of the fire, she didn't care about it either. Maybe it was just her eyesight being dazzled for a while, or it could be Lord Nodens's mercy and enlightenment to the believers.

The old man thought about it and planned to open the door, but she suddenly noticed something.A goat is gnawing on the white soft grass with its head down.

This is somewhat strange. Mapel, who has lived in this snow forest for many years, has never seen this kind of plant that looks like hair.

hair?

The snow had caved in along the goats' grazing, revealing the silhouette of a human.

"By Nodens...that's a man!"

Mrs. Maple felt her heart beating fast and her breathing began to struggle.She moved away from the wooden door, moved closer, and shooed away the goat, which was still chewing on its hair.

She brushed off the snow and found a naked girl buried in the snow.Because the long silver hair and white complexion are similar to the snow, it is not easy to be found, and it may have been buried in the snow for a long time.

The old man sighed, she thought this should be a poor girl who was insulted by bandits and abandoned in the wilderness.

There are no rumors about bandits near the village. Maybe there are barbarians from the tundra sneaking in. In any case, there seems to be some instability near the village.

At this time, the girl suddenly coughed several times.
