It is impossible for the girl to find the evil god in the textbook

Hyde's face was ashen as he sat on the wooden springboard that was soaked and blackened by the sea water. Unlike the barren island surrounded by mermaids, the coastline here has left obvious traces of human life.

The moored fishing boats were tied to the frozen stakes at the edge, or simply turned upside down, and were covered by thick snow into small white snow mounds.

There are some dried things hanging on the wooden sticks erected on the shore. Some of them look like incomplete mermaid skins, and some are completely unidentifiable.

The wind and snow got bigger, covering the teenager's eyebrows and coat.The autumn clothes and wizard robes worn by the envoys seemed too thin in this environment.

The ointment that Schiff hung on the mermaid's tail before came in handy. They only need to be applied to some flammable dry wood or cloth, and they can burn for a long time and are not so easy to extinguish.

This situation happened once in the transfer from Champs No. 30 to Faust Manor. The last time it was just that Ella's transfer time was 10 minutes later than the others.Fred Mephisto did not explain this time error in detail for some unexplainable reason, and some of the measures he took were also proven to be effective during his arrival on the Romanian island

But this time has far exceeded the previous number. Together with Ling who grabbed her before entering the vortex, the two had disappeared for more than an hour.

Under such extreme weather, the state of the already exhausted wizard group became worse, and even the condition of the wounded began to deteriorate.

Lucien finally made a decision. He rubbed his chin with his fingers that had grown a rough beard in the past few days, and said:

"We can't wait any longer, we have to find shelter from the snow before full darkness."

Hyde was taken aback, but quickly calmed down.As Lucien said, for the sake of the entire diplomatic mission, they really couldn't wait any longer.So he replaced the original question with:

"You go first, Fiennes and I still have shadows left behind."

Lucien frowned at him for a few seconds.

"I won't allow it, the boys of the Belusse family. If you are separated from you again, the entire envoy will be in a very dangerous situation."

"Yes."

Famini was studying the black air-dried object hanging on a wooden stick, and said without raising her head:

"It's not in the interest of the league and Albion."

Shadow shattered the snow beneath his feet into several unevenly sized spheres, and stacked them upwards.Her puppet body is not afraid of the cold and behaves very naturally.

"I don't care, but don't you underestimate them a little too much? That's the crazy girl of the Mephisto family and the unlucky Ella Williams."

"In this environment, their ability to survive is much stronger than those of you weak wizards."

Big and small snowballs are getting higher and higher, and its top is shaking dangerously in the cold wind. Miss Doll seems to want to protect them with her hands, but the snowball at the top still falls down.She was a little annoyed, so she flattened all the snowballs flat, and said in a nonchalant way:

"My suggestion is that you find a place where you can avoid the wind and snow before you freeze to death. As long as you leave some marks along the way, they will definitely find them. Don't forget, Ayla also has a messenger on her body."

-

Ella opened her eyes and found herself lying on her back in a large expanse of thick snow, a feeling that felt oddly familiar to her.

Ella faintly felt that her body became much more relaxed, the incongruity left by the medicine and the strangeness that filled her body completely disappeared, and the silent magic power also began to stir.She was in such a good state that she felt a little surprised.

Not far from her hand, the snow on the ground moved.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"

Ling sneezed loudly, then rolled over and sat up from the snow.

"Ah, it's freezing to death."

She stomped her feet on the spot, trying to heat up her body as quickly as possible.

The cold air was poured into the lungs through the trachea, and Ella couldn't help shivering.

The girl seemed to have remembered something, and took out a folded dark blue mage robe from her backpack.

It was the court mage dress of the Snow Country. After it was damaged in the battle, Dmitry roughly repaired it by mixing other materials.But the old alchemist's poor sewing skills were completely incomparable to the skillful craftsmen of the Land of Snow. He could only transform the garment into a tasteless traditional mage robe while roughly retaining its original appearance.

Ella spread out the loose robe, which could barely be worn on two people at the same time. The mage robe made of frost dragon inner scales and rare minerals contained the blessing of ice and snow elements.In addition to a slight increase in magic affinity, the wearer will hardly feel cold.

Ling silently recited a few incantations to completely drive away the remaining bit of cold and stiffness.She was wearing a cool thin windbreaker at sea, and she couldn't help but suffer a little loss when she entered such a cold environment for the first time.

"Thank you...It's much warmer...Where did the shadows go, and where are we now?"

Ayla and Ling looked at each other, because of the mental burden, the former failed to maintain a clear consciousness during the transmission process this time.It seems that their teleportation is mostly due to a certain degree of coordinate deviation from the existence that was wandering in a different space.

Ella scanned the surrounding environment, and there were large icebergs protruding from the sea, and the ice and snow covered the springboard pier on the beach to the large coniferous forest not far away.

"Could it be that……?!"

This kind of world full of pure white eyes not only made Ella's pupils shrink, she looked at the sky in a panic, but there was no strange moon and twisted ice and snow magic power that made her feel scared.

Ella breathed a sigh of relief, and she was sure that this was not the Snow Country in the fantasy world.It is not because of their physical death that they have reached a strange spiritual space.

So she relaxed and observed the world in front of her.

If nothing else, this should be the so-called Land of Nord.Contrary to Ella's imagination, according to Fittili's description, she thought there was only black soil and a gloomy castle here.

As far as the eye can see, there is a large area of ​​woodland a little farther from the coastline.Unlike what he had subconsciously thought before, it was not a common coniferous forest in cold regions.In fact, they were unlike any tree Ella had ever known.

The dry trunks went straight up, and the shriveled and blackened bark looked like cast iron.They twisted and extended obliquely upwards, like weird trees with human limbs growing in legends.

"This should be our destination... Same as last time, the coordinates I sent are offset."

Ella looked around the coastline, but she didn't find any traces left by other people, or if there were traces, they would have been covered by the university long ago.

Chapter 21 The Forest of Silence

"I don't know how long the time has diverged this time."

Ella sighed, the white hot air exhaled by the girl instantly condensed into ice slag in the air, and then fell to the ground.

They have walked half a circle along the coastline, but they have not been able to find any traces left behind.

"It was already afternoon outside when we arrived at the cave, maybe it hasn't been too long."

As Ling said this, she and Ayla each tightened a corner of the court mage's robe and used it to cover most of their bodies.However, the design of this robe, which was not originally an alchemy tool, did not take into account the current situation. The power of blessing could not perfectly envelop the two people.

On the other hand, its ability is also more inclined to enhance the user's affinity for ice and snow elements, rather than directly protecting body temperature.

Using this robe for a long time will cause the body temperature to gradually drop and assimilate with the surrounding environment. If there is no hot water or something to neutralize the negative effects, it will also bring harm to the human body.

"It's hard to say."

Ella explained from her own experience:

"This place feels very similar to Dreamland. The Land of Nod may be a space that is independent of the material world and the spiritual world. It is best not to think that the outside time has any direct connection with this place."

As she spoke, she seemed to remember something, and took out the birdcage where the messenger lived from the leather suitcase.The compound-eyed bat messenger shivered from the cold environment.

Ella stretched her fingertips toward the birdcage, where a tiny orange flame lit up.The trembling messenger gradually approached the warm fire, and then looked up at the girl.

She first asked,

"Can you feel Hyde's breath?"

After a period of trial and study, Ella has been able to understand part of the meaning it wants to express through the spectrum in the messenger's eyes and some body movements.

"...can't feel it?"

Staring at the little bat twisting its body in the birdcage trying to express something, she thought for a while, then opened one side of the birdcage to release it, and the bat messenger's body quickly became transparent to avoid the cold.

"Go to the forest and find the envoys. If you don't find them, come back every once in a while and give me the clues you find—go."

It flapped its wings reluctantly and disappeared into the snowy night sky.

After the messenger left, Ling patted the twisted black tree trunk.

"There are a lot of wounded in the mission. It is impossible for them to stay on the coastline and wait for us. It is difficult for them to find the location of Enoch overnight in this weather. Most likely, Lucien will go into the forest and choose a place that can avoid the snow to wait for us. "

She paused,

"Although that guy isn't very smart... But after all, Shadow and Schiff are in the team, and they should leave some eye-catching marks in this forest."

Ella nods,

"We're going into the forest too... At least we need to find a place to spend the night. Don't worry about Beatrice, she can find us."

"Who is Beatrice?"

Ling froze for a moment.

"The name of the messenger, I got it some time ago, it's too pitiful to call it the messenger all the time?"

Ella replied.

After entering the forest, because the leaves of these strange trees had already fallen off, the wind and snow had hardly diminished.Those trunks that look straight upward at first glance look unnatural when viewed at close range. They are formed by twisted and twisted upward strands of roots, and iron-black viscous sap is secreted from the cracks in the bark. The sap condenses into The large and complete jelly has an excellent cold protection effect.

Ayla tore a suitcase of clothing into strips and tied them in knots on the branches at intervals of a hundred paces.

She explained as she tied new strips of cloth to the crooked arm-like branches:

"These trees look similar in shape, which can prevent getting lost. If you are lucky, you may be able to be seen by others."

"You seem to be very skilled."

Ling smiled and rubbed Ella's hair,

"Wait a minute...don't make trouble, the cloaks are falling apart."

Ella grunted, but didn't move away.In this environment, being closer can somewhat warm you up.

She once learned some experience of walking in the forest with the knight Ashley Chevalier of the Dreamland. Most wizards are superstitious about their own inspiration, which will instead leave hidden dangers in some inconspicuous details.

Professor Adolf also raised this issue in his actual combat class. In his words: Most of the time, a compass with a standard scale is more useful in identifying the direction than your good and bad inspiration.

The current environment made Ella recall her experience in the Snow Country, and she seemed to be in a snow forest when she first recovered her memory.Different from that piece of ash forest, the plants here are obviously not as evergreen as in the Snow Country, and appear much more open and sparse.

It was very quiet in the woods, only the sound of the wind, the sound of stepping on the snow and each other's breathing could be heard.Ella's silver pocket watch was damaged by sea water, and in this environment, the concept of time in people's consciousness has become somewhat blurred.It can only be inferred from the complete darkness of the sky that it has been several hours since they first arrived at the coast.

During this period, the messenger Beatrice has returned twice, and it can't find anything.

Ella and Ling walked along the part of the forest close to the mountain wall. There were no caves or terrain that could shelter from the snow along the way. They tried to call out to the members of the alliance, but they never got a response.

Ling stopped suddenly, and stopped Ella's next call with her hands.She narrowed her eyes slightly, piercing the night and the snowstorm.

"Someone."

Aila observed carefully in the direction Ling was facing, and even added a few spells to temporarily enhance her eyesight, before she saw someone's black figure under a tree.

In Ling's eyes, it was a haggard middle-aged woman standing more than [-] feet away. She was wearing some tattered old clothes, facing the two of them and making a common silence gesture with her index finger.The short-haired girl discerned a few words from the mouth of the other party, which seemed to be an ancient Hebrew sentence:

【do not speak】
