My family's handicrafts are all alive!

Hundreds of swords turned this valley into a forbidden zone of death, and very few people escaped from Xu Cheng's hands in the end.

Those who fled reported to their colleagues nearby, but no one believed their words.

When people from other troops came to investigate in the valley, the blood of the dead fools had already melted the ice and snow, dyed the brown land red, and was frozen by the cold snow mountain.

Xu Cheng and the two had long since disappeared.

This valley was later called the Red Valley by the Adventurers Association, and the crimson land in the Red Valley was called the Bloodland.

It is said that when the earth veins are abnormal here, even the sky will be dyed blood red, and the creatures that enter it will become the nutrients of this land.

For a long time no one was able to crack the mystery.

Chapter 139 The Protection of the Root

In the evening, Irena stopped in front of the cave with her broom, and they returned to their camp.

Xu Cheng jumped off from behind Irena's broom.

Today Irena agreed with him to take the seat again, and if he wants to take the seat in the future, he just needs to inform Irena in advance.

But the experience of the broom is not as good as that of the broad sword. Xu Cheng guessed that he would not want to try it often, just sit down occasionally and maintain a close relationship between the two of them.

The clothes of Xu Cheng and Irena were covered with blood, and even their bodies smelled strongly of blood.

Irena used magic to generate flames, Xu Cheng took out an iron bucket filled with pure white ice and snow, and the two temporarily endured the smell of blood on their bodies.

After the water boiled, Xu Cheng said, "Go and change your clothes first, and take a bath too."

Xu Cheng still took care of Irena habitually, and Irena did not refuse.

Ever since Xu Cheng walked out of the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood with her on his back, she seldom talked back to Xu Cheng. At that time, she even said something about a blood-stained knight.

Xu Cheng was not in a good state of mind at the time, so he didn't hear clearly, and asked afterward, but Irena didn't say anything, and Xu Cheng didn't investigate further.

At this time Xu Cheng had already put on his glasses, but there was still a double image of a dead line in his eyes.

His magic eye is closed, so the line of death in his eyes is not really a line of death.

Xu Cheng guessed that this happened because of the negative effect of turning on the magic eye of death for a long time.

He still can't completely control the Devil's Eye of Death, as it is today. If it weren't for the special nature of his Devil's Eye, he might have been burnt out of his mind long ago.

Now there are only a few ghosts that don't affect life, so it's not a big problem.

Moreover, the double image is also fading due to the passage of time, and it is estimated that it will disappear completely in two days.

The premise is that I don't use the magic eye of death within these two days.

The penultimate stele was found after they escaped the siege, where he also shattered the last shard of the Sky Nail.

So unless there is an accident, he will not use the magic eye of death in a short time.

Go to the top of the mountain tomorrow and find the last stone tablet near where the Nail of Cold Sky fell. After unlocking the secret room, he and Irena can leave the snow mountain.

Today was the first time he had killed people, and he had killed so many people, but until now, he didn't feel any psychological discomfort, at most he just felt like a lifetime away.

It is even more impossible to say that you regret or even feel disgusted.

It's just that he once again realized the fragility of life and the importance of strength, but he will never use everything to gain strength.

He always remembered that the reason why he did this today was to protect himself and Irena.

Xu Cheng felt that his state of mind had never been so clear and thorough, but he was just an ordinary person, so he shouldn't have such a state of mind.

In the past, if he had to say that he had a state of mind, it would be of the Buddhist system. To put it bluntly, he was a salted fish, the kind who didn't even bother to turn over.

So what changed in him?

Xu Cheng suddenly thought of the skill given to him by the two ceremonies before he came to Tivat.

【Protection of Roots】

He still doesn't know what effect this skill has, but it should be very important to him, otherwise Miss Shi wouldn't have specially given him such a skill.

Just when Xu Cheng was thinking this way, a relevant message suddenly appeared in his mind.

Special skill: [Protection of Roots]

Skill effect 1: The character of the skill holder will no longer be affected by negative states.

After Xu Cheng saw it, he knew it, but he didn't expect that the matter was really the same as his random guess.

It seems that the negative feedback after the murder is regarded as a negative state and is immune to it.

If you think about it carefully, this effect is a bit abnormal. If you are immune to all negative states, wouldn't it mean that all mental abnormalities will be ineffective against you.

Could it be that the negative effect of excessive use of the magic eye of death is also immune to this skill?

No, after carefully reading the skill description, Xu Cheng discovered that only his own character is not affected by the negative state. Obviously, the eyes are not part of the character.

But the term xinxing has a very broad meaning, and it is hard to say how to define it.

So although this skill has a detailed description, it is still impossible to determine the exact ability.

And if there is skill effect 1, there will be skill effect 2, maybe there will be more, the mystery of this skill is far more than the current one.

Xu Cheng stopped thinking about it so much, and filled a bucket of ice and snow again, and set it on the fire to burn it.

Irena changed clothes and took a bath in the cave, and Xu Cheng quickly boiled a bucket of hot water outside.

He shouted into the cave: "Do you still want hot water? I've done it here."

Irena's voice came from inside the cave: "Well, I want more, you can bring it in."

Maybe because of the distance, Irena's voice was so thin that Xu Cheng almost missed the word "send".

Even so, Irena's speech was still very dangerous. He didn't say which method Xu Cheng used to deliver.

Xu Cheng also wanted to send it to Irena himself, but he was afraid that he would be blasted out by Irena's magic cannon, so he sent the metal bucket into the cave with super power.

After Irena finished speaking, she was worried that Xu Cheng would come in with a bucket, and was about to open her mouth to make up the terms, when she saw the bucket floating slowly in the air.

Irena breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that she underestimated Xu Cheng's character.

After Irena washed up, she put on the skin she got from the manga exhibition.

"Won't this be a little too cool?"

Irena muttered, cast several heat-retaining spells on herself, and then walked out of the cave.

Xu Cheng looked at Irena who was wearing a white dress.

The long gray hair and white dress perfectly blended into the silvery whiteness of the snow mountain. The moment she came out, Xu Cheng seemed to see the ice elves above the snow mountain.

The rosy skin that was still hot after taking a bath, together with the wet hair, formed a picture of a snow mountain elf coming out of the bath.

Irena walked towards Xu Cheng, and Xu Cheng felt like the elf in the painting walked towards him.

Irena walked into Xu Cheng and asked suspiciously, "What are you staring at me for?"

Xu Cheng said casually: "I have reason to suspect that you are an elf."

Irena smiled and narrowed her eyes slightly. She knew that Xu Cheng was praising her for her beauty, although it was the truth.

Facts have proved that no girl would dislike other people's praise for her good looks, and even Irena, who is narcissistic every day, would be happy about it.

Irena frowned and smelled the bloody smell on Xu Cheng's body, patted his arm and said in disgust, "Go in and take a shower, your body smells so bad."

She didn't really dislike him, otherwise she wouldn't have patted Xu Cheng's blood-stained clothes with her freshly washed hands.

Xu Cheng didn't refute either, he couldn't bear the smell on his body for a long time.

Chapter 140 Divine Conferment of Sovereign Power

Xu Cheng walked into the cave, Irena filled the bucket with ice and snow, and continued to burn it, while she sat in front of the fire and took out the notebook that recorded the information on the stone tablet.

The two of them didn't stop at the stele they found today after breaking out of the siege, mainly because they were afraid of chasing soldiers.

Therefore, they didn't discuss with each other's views on the information on the stone tablet, and I just took advantage of this time to sort out the known information.

"...No results, no response. Faruhi headed to the summit..."

According to her guess, Faruhi is the last king of the snow-covered country and the owner of the priest's box.

What does the fruitless in the text refer to?Whose response is the King seeking?Why go to the summit alone without a response?

Irena thought for a long time, but she didn't understand whose response the king was seeking. As a king, he was above ten thousand people, who could make him pray for a response?

Irena thought about it, and suddenly woke up!

She forgot the most important thing!Faruhi is not only the king of the snow-covered country, he is also the priest of the snow-covered country!

The king of a country is a religious priest, what does that mean?It shows that the Snow-Covered Country is a country where the monarchy is granted by God!

So is the response to the king's prayer the response of a certain god?

Does the "no result" recorded in the stone tablet just show that the king also prayed for a response from the gods before, even more than once, but at that time, the gods responded to the king.

In other words, the gods believed in by the snow-covered country do exist!

Irena's brain was running fast, and the inscriptions on the stone tablet appeared one by one in her mind.

"If so, then several of our previous guesses may themselves have been wrong."

Irena found the inscription on the stele in the chamber before.

"Guided by... to the location of the Pale Tree. In the same month, the underground waterway..."

Before, she felt that the idea of ​​the princess leading people to the Pale Tree to retrieve the broken branches was somewhat contradictory.

She had seen the honeysuckle tree before, and it was more than ten meters high before it started to grow. It was just a broken branch of the pale tree. One could imagine how huge the pale tree was!

And as a local who has lived in the snow-covered country since he was born, would he not know how to get to that big tree?Still need a princess guide?

It's like saying that people in Chang'an don't know how to get to the bell tower and need the guidance of the deputy mayor.

Isn't this nonsense?

Unless... At that time, everyone came to the Snow Mountain for the first time, so no one knew where the Pale Tree was.

Then this stone monument is probably erected before the Snow Country was established.

The half sentence "underground waterway" mentioned later is not that the underground waterway is frozen, but that the underground waterway has been opened.

To establish a kingdom on a mountain naturally has to solve the problem of water resources.

This explanation is much more reasonable at once. As for the person who led the first citizens up the mountain, I am afraid it is the unknown god.

Or the messenger of the god?

With the gods as clues, Irena's thoughts became clear at once.

At this time, Xu Cheng suddenly shouted: "Irena, is there any hot water? Bring it in for me!"

Irena directed the magic broom casually, picked up a bucket of water with it, and sent it to the cave.

Xu Cheng, who was taking a bath, saw the wobbly broom carrying a bucket of water, and hurriedly took over the bucket with superpowers.

After completing its mission, the broom fell straight to the ground without receiving Irena's next order.

Outside the cave, Irena felt that she had grasped the main direction of the story development.

According to the current chronological order, the earliest stele established is the stele that opened up the waterway just now.

The subsequent steles have nothing to do with this one, but they all happened after the Nail of Cold Sky fell.

Therefore, the stone tablet that records "...the wind and snow are all over the sky. The pillar that fell from the sky split into three..." should be ranked second.

Then it will be the time node according to whether the foreigners leave or not.

At the entrance of the cave in their camp, the stone tablet with the content "... is the soul, and the stars and silver are the bones. But the foreigner who can wield it and cut through the ice and snow, Emonro..." ranks third.

This stele clearly describes the process of casting swords and giving swords. The foreigner is still in the Snow Country, and has not accepted the commission from the Snow Country to go out to find the answer.

Then, according to the king's prayer for a response, why the king prayed for a response must have happened.

There is a record on a stone tablet, "...dream of a dark dragon covering the sun. It is a bad omen. In the same month, foreigners..."

After the princess dreamed of Durin because of her relationship with the pale tree, the king and the reporter thought it was a bad omen.

That's why the king prayed to the gods for a response after that, and went to the summit alone after no results.

He probably went to the summit because the place where they usually meet the messenger of the gods is the summit.
