Ella chanted the mantra quickly, and the illusory outline of the light shield appeared in the air, but a headache interrupted the fragile connection she had built with the mantra in her mind, and the phantom of the shield shattered under the impact of the giant wolf .
"Good come!"
At this time, Ashley made a move beyond everyone's expectations. She threw away the lance, and put her right arm in front of her, sealing the wolf's mouth!
The giant wolf bit her forearm fiercely and turned around to tear off a large piece of flesh. The sound of metal deforming and the crisp sound of bones became very clear!
But this has bought Ashley a moment of breathing time,
The saber was drawn out of its sheath, a silver light flashed, and the blood stains were like brightly colored banners unfolding in midair.
When everyone came to their senses, the huge headless corpse of the white-headed wolf had slipped to the ground!
Ashley Chevalier pulled the reins, turned around, and rushed out of the pack again, toward the gap between the walls of fire.
"Fire the arrows! Shoot all the arrows in your hand!"
Ashley yelled, lowering his body on the horse's back.
The pack of wolves became chaotic after the death of their leader, and the rain of arrows quickly caused a large number of casualties.
Ella no longer maintained the wall of fire, and with her remaining magic power, she barely summoned two streams of flames, which further intimidated the beasts.
The wolves left nearly a hundred corpses and quickly fled into the forest.
"A worthy knight of the Ash Grove!"
"Long live Monsieur Chevalier!"
The entourage began to cheer victory, and Ashley had returned to the cave at this time and jumped off his horse.
"your hands......"
Lily's face lost all color, she could see it very clearly just now.
"I am fine."
The female knight tried to break off the head of the white wolf still nailed to her arm, and the blood stained its snow-white hair.
The alpha wolf possesses considerable intelligence, and its dying eyes are very humane, but it is not a vicious or brutal color.
The white wolf's eyes were quiet and regretful before he died, like a dead old man.
Ashley closed its eyes, as if facing a real opponent, and took off the head and arms after a lot of effort.
A few broken fangs got stuck in the metal bracer, and after being pulled out, they left a few bright silver shallow pits, but they couldn't penetrate into the flesh.
Ashley tried to move his right hand, but it froze.
"...it seems to be broken."
Although the wolf fangs failed to pierce the arm armor, the strong bite force still broke the bones inside through the protection.
A stream of blood flowed down the inside of the arm armor and out of the wrist guard, and the deformed metal should have pierced into the skin.
It took Ella and Lily a lot of effort to help her remove the deformed arm armor. The woman's slender arm was red, swollen and deformed, and the metal thorns poked a fingernail-sized wound on the inside of the forearm.
"doctor!"
Lily yelled, and the accompanying doctor was a young man with a serious expression. After a complete set of disinfection, he fixed Ashley's bones with a splint and wrapped them with bandages.
"This will probably hurt for a while."
"If there are materials, I can think of something."
Among the potion formulas that Ella knew were types that speed up the recovery of injuries.
"It doesn't matter, we can arrive in town tomorrow."
Ashley didn't seem to care too much about the injury, but instead, she held up the head of the white wolf again.
"Something is wrong. Wild wolves generally don't come to the outskirts of the forest during the Frost Sand Moon. During this time, the food in the mountains should be abundant, but those wolves have obviously been hungry for a long time."
She looked at the wolf head like an old man, and said softly,
"That's why you take risks for the group—"
Its expression froze on the last moment of silence and regret. The north wind blew into the cave, and the blood condensed into red ice slag on the hair.
The snow fell more quickly.
Chapter 8 Carrotine Town
There are still a few hours left before dawn, and everyone is very tired after the battle.But at Ashley's insistence, they checked the wolf carcasses outside the cave and buried them with snow to prevent the smell of blood from attracting other beasts.
The crowd found some chewed roots and other edible plants in the stomach pouch of the wolf corpse. The experienced old man in the entourage checked the feces they left in the forest. These beasts had indeed not eaten for a long time Decent stuff now.
"This is......"
Ashley found some kind of fibrous thing, which should have a certain degree of stickiness before that. The knight tried to rub it a few times with his fingers, and packed it with a cloth bag.
"Rest, take turns watching the night."
Her spirit had indeed reached its limit, and she lay in the depths of the cave, covering her body with a blanket.Lily leaned against her and held the uninjured left hand.
Ella was at the other corner of the cave. From her point of view, Lily Bell should be a local noble lady, and Ashley was her entourage—no, should I say a knight.
But that kind of intimacy should go beyond the pure master-servant relationship.
Her current state is not very good. Before her body fully recovers, she is still somewhat reluctant to use magic.
The dizziness brought about by the lack of magic power made her drowsy and fell asleep quickly.
The entourage, who were still physically strong, formed a group of two and took turns to watch the night at the entrance of the cave, resisting the cold with spirits.
The night passed quickly, and after the wolves left, no new accidents occurred.
The sky was white with water vapor, and the sun had not yet appeared. It snowed all night, and thicker snow piled up outside the cave. The snow melted by the bonfire condensed into long lines on the stone walls. Ice pick.
The bonfire was almost extinguished, only a little spark remained, and the temperature gradually lost.
The north wind howled, and the cold made the people in the cave start to squirm and wake up.
With their stiff bodies moving, the followers used the remaining sparks and tinder to set up a bonfire again, boiled the melted snow, and threw in some shredded dried meat and food.
They also used daggers to sharpen branches and skewered some of the wolf leg meat they had shaved off last night. In this weather, fresh meat is easy to preserve.
The wolf meat slowly turns yellowish brown under the tongue of fire, exuding a unique taste.
Ella exhaled a breath of white hot air, and the pain in her head had eased a lot.
"Good morning, this kind of breakfast is only available when traveling, right?"
"Good morning, Lily."
Ella took the bowl and looked at the sticky food inside, which reminded her of her time in the west.
"Have had a similar experience before this ... when are we going to get to town."
"We will be able to reach Carlodin Town before noon today. We will rest there for a day, and then we will be on the main road."
Ashley's voice came. She was feeding the horse with her free left hand, and he patted the white horse's face after it had licked the last handful of hay from her hand.
"The wounded should rest well."
Ella frowned when she noticed that her right arm was covered with bandages hanging around her neck.
"Thank you, but there is no need for that. More exercise is good for recovery. Now that the snow is light, let's continue on our way."
The female knight got on her horse, and the team moved forward again.
Carlodin Town is a city on the edge of the Frost Plateau, and arriving here means leaving the vast forests and snowfields and entering a more densely populated area.
As a junction and buffer zone, this is one of the important commercial cities in the Snow Country, and it is the place where many caravans and mercenaries must pass.
During the half-day journey, the team did not encounter wolves or other wild animals again. There were indeed some unusual things in the snow forest, and there were not many horned deer and snow rabbits.
Ella still has memories of that time in the village, which are inconsistent with what she knows.
After showing the coat of arms with four-cornered snowflakes, the guards bowed in unison and the procession entered the town.
As a commission paid in advance, Ashley gave Ella a few platinum coins. The purchasing power of this currency called Luke was equivalent to that of the British Pound. This was really a good salary.
After booking a hotel named Blue Snowflake, Ella couldn't wait to buy a few candles, coarse salt, silver knives, bells and other tools or materials necessary for the ceremony in the market.
Although the quality of the crucible is unsatisfactory, it can barely be used after completing the consecration.
In Snow Country, magic doesn't seem to be a term unique to the underground world. Ella found many magic materials that she had seen or had no impression of at all.But this is not a problem. From the merchant's description and simple tests, it is not very difficult to identify their characteristics and uses.
Back in the hotel room, Ella quickly set up the altar and began to summon the top hat messenger.
She must have been missing for nearly half a year, which was enough time for a lot of things to happen.She couldn't wait to get in touch with Ling or the professor.
The candles were burning rapidly, and the green smoke condensed above the altar. The ceremony undoubtedly had an effect.
But there was no change in the space in front of him, the space remained stable, without ripples or changing colors.
Ella looked around for a few minutes, but she couldn't find the shriveled courier wearing a top hat.
After waiting a long time, Ella began to feel uneasy.
"How is this going?"
She tried to summon the bat messenger that belonged to Yousef again, but the result was still the same, no creature responded to her call.
The temperature in her heart was gradually dropping, Ella was silent, but she calmed down quickly.Although this is somewhat unacceptable, it can be regarded as an expected result.
She quickly canceled the ritual and brewed the potion using the purchased ingredients and a new cauldron.
Ella first drank a tube of purple potion with temperature, which can restore a certain amount of magic power and help her current state to a certain extent.Then, she left the room again and knocked on the wooden door of Ashley's room.
"Please come in."
Ashley took off her mail, shoulder armor, arm guards and leg armor, wearing only a loose shirt made of linen and dark brown trousers.
"Miss Williams, what's the matter?"
Ella shook the Erlenmeyer glass bottle in her hand.
"To heal your hand."
Ella used the scissors to pick apart the bandage, and the redness on Ashley's arm faded a little, and a transparent scab formed over the wound.
