turn out.

The Silver Duke still found nothing.

The messenger and the followers were still asleep, but Xu Shuo said that when they woke up, they would act according to the plan arranged during hypnosis.

In this way, the Silver Duke said nothing more.

Anyway, after getting out, he will probably know what happened inside. This should be a plot point, and there is a high chance that it will be edited in!

So the Silver Duke suppressed his curiosity for the time being.

The moon is high and the wind is freezing.

Silver Shield Legion, set off!

At this time, in the Silver Castle of the Silver City-state, a certain girl was sleeping soundly on a soft bed. She looked like she could continue to sleep for a long time.

…

…

Amician Mountains.

At the foot of a certain mountain peak.

In late autumn and early winter, only the cold north wind blows here, but the bright sun still hangs high in the sky.

A handful of blood spilled on the grass.

After getting rid of the pursuers who had followed him here, Zuo Fang took out the brocade cloth and wiped the knight's sword without leaving any blood stains, and looked up at the endless Amician Mountains not far away.

"During this period, I am either in the mountains or preparing to enter the mountains."

Zuo Fang sighed.

Another burned magic circle pattern was left on the grass next to it, and the light on the Sun Knights also dimmed.

After getting the coordinates of the team of knights lurking in the mountains, everyone completed their repairs and rode their horses slowly into the mountains, being very cautious all the way.

The bishop in white was not caught up.

According to the original plan, the Cavaliers who were originally in the mountains should meet at the foot of the mountain.

But they didn't know what happened over there, and they failed to reach the predetermined location here. Seeing this, Zuo Fang simply spent the night outside the mountains, ambushing several waves of tails following them.

After getting some information from this, Zuo Fang passed it to Xu Shuo.

The huge northern land is roughly divided in half between the Holy See and the Empire, with half of each party's power belonging to the other.

Thinking about it this way, the Holy See is really at a disadvantage.

The Sun Knight gradually entered the mountains.

Zuo Fang paid attention to the movement around him, but the mountain roads along the way were extremely quiet. Even if he entered the deep mountains, he did not find anything unusual.

Wrong, or rather.

It's been very unusual since they entered the mountain.

Because I didn't see a wild animal.

But no traces of fighting were found here, not even the smell of blood, and of course there was no smell of wild beasts staying.

Zuo Fang frowned.

The knights marched a few kilometers toward the mountains. Suddenly, a forest covered with frost appeared in front of them.

Zuo Fang, who was at the front, immediately raised his hand to signal that the knights were prohibited from doing so. The horses, which were already not very fast, stopped on the spot, and everyone was wary of that side.

"I'll go there first."

I don't feel any crisis yet.

Zuo Fang did not intend to let the Sun Knight go over to investigate, but directly dismounted and walked over, while paying attention to his surroundings.

Click click click...

There was a crisp sound on the ground.

Zuo Fang lowered his head and took a look. The branches and leaves under his feet were also covered with frost. When he stepped on it, the frost shattered along with the branches, and the cold seeped in from the soles of his shoes.

But it's just a slight chill, not even as cold as the extreme north wind, so it's more penetrating.

He raised his feet again, and the chill was gone.

Zuo Fang walked into the frost forest.

Looking around, it seems that it is even quieter here than the mountains and forests outside.

Although the forest the Sun Knights walked along was very quiet, at least occasionally they could hear the chirping of insects and birds, which was a bit naturally angry, but not absolutely quiet.

As for this place.

Just like the extreme northern mountains, it is covered with ice for thousands of miles. There is no trace of nature or vitality, only endless silence and coldness as far as the eye can see.

It seems that the ice elf has been here.

However, it shouldn’t be like freezing a forest, right?

Aren't you afraid of being discovered if there is so much movement?

Turn left and look up at the sky.

The trees in the mountains grow very tall, and the dense layers of branches and leaves block the view of the sky. Only the ubiquitous sunlight still passes through the gaps between the branches and leaves, shining down strongly.

Not far away, there is an area that is hollow, as if the tree crown has been cut off, allowing large swaths of sunlight to fall unimpeded on the ground.

After walking into the depths of the Frost Forest and carefully surveying the surroundings, Zuo Fang roughly knew what was going on.

——There were fierce battles here.

Perhaps because the battle was too sudden and fierce, the frost elf didn't care about hiding its traces, and the ability it released directly froze the entire forest.

Zuo Fang drew out his knight's sword and slashed at a tree covered in frost.

Crash--

The fallen branches directly scattered into pieces of ice, which shows the depth of the ice, which is probably the result of a complete lack of restraint.

The battle was so fierce.

Zuo Fang clicked his tongue and shook his head. He took back his knight sword and waved to the knights outside the Frost Forest, signaling them to come in and walk straight through the forest.

There is no need for them to take a long way to avoid this place, after all, the battle here is over.

And judging from the battle situation at the scene, it is estimated that the elf escaped.

It would be better if the escaping elf could be caught.

The knights marched a little faster this time. The horses' hooves stepped on the frosty ground. Perhaps it was too cold. These horses ran very fast without any command.

The Frost Forest is very large.

After spending about five minutes walking through the forest, a huge lake that had frozen over suddenly opened up in front of us.

And there is a person in the middle of the lake.

"Hush!"

Zuo Fang immediately pulled the reins, and the horse raised its front hooves high and came to an emergency stop.

The person sitting cross-legged in the middle of the lake was holding his chin with one hand. When Zuo Fang slowed down and approached, he just glanced lazily sideways.

"Long Zai, what are you doing here?"

Zuo put down his horse and stood on the shore of the ice lake.

Luo Kun looked at him faintly: "I'm waiting for you."

Zuo Fang was raising his feet to try the ice on the lake. When he heard this, he just laughed and didn't believe it.

He looked around, and then focused his eyes on the young man in the middle of the lake again. Seeing the ragged appearance of the other man, it looked like it was indeed a fierce battle.

He joked: "Didn't catch it?"

However, Luo Kun seemed to look away from him without interest and ignored him. He just lowered his eyes and stared at the ice where he was sitting cross-legged.

Zuo Fang's eyes flickered: "What's under this lake?"

So the young man looked at him again, pretended to sigh with sadness, and then said aggrievedly:

"The elf has gone down here. I'm trying to see if I can wait until she comes out."

"..."

Zuo Fang twitched the corner of his mouth.

Based on the battle in Frost Forest just now and combined with the boy's words, Zuo Fang felt that he had probably guessed what happened.

——The ice elf did fight with this dragon, and this guy also forced the elf to freeze a forest. The elf who finally fled chose an underwater way to survive, and froze the entire lake.

Prevent the dragon from continuing to pursue you.

Zuo Fang just tested the hardness of the ice surface, and it looked like it was frozen for more than ten meters, directly to the bottom of the lake.

Think about this.

Zuo Fang thought for a moment and said, "Is there a possibility that the elf has left the culvert at the bottom of the lake, and you can't guard her here?"

Luo Kun looked at him.

Then he suddenly grinned: "Is there a possibility that I know that's why I said I'm waiting for you?"

When he said this, the young man's dark red eyes looked half serious and half as if he was looking at a fool.

Zuo Fang: "..."

Zuo Fang withdrew his gaze expressionlessly, pretending to look around, and then as he looked around, he suddenly remembered something very important!
