One hour ago.
Frost kingdom was located in the heroic Spirit Hall of the Frost Wolf family’s territory.
Shier placed a longsword into the furnace in front of her and burned it. The resin on the longsword was instantly ignited.
She took the longsword and turned around to look at the people kneeling on the ground in the heroic Spirit Hall. Some of them were the rulers of the Frost Wolf family, and some of them were the generals that shier brought from the frost kingdom.
Meanwhile, those clansmen who belonged to the Frost Wolf Clan had an unconcealable expression of grief on their faces.
The priest standing beside shier recited an ancient and mysterious prayer. Shier also threw the longsword that was lit by the cup onto the wooden bed that was constructed by a large number of tree branches in front of him.
There were three dead men lying on this ‘bed’. One of them was the eldest son of the Frost Wolf Clan’s patriarch, and the other two were the servants of the eldest son.
The branches were ignited by the flames, and their bodies were also burned by the flames. Under the flickering flames, shier could see the hideous veins on the eldest son’s face.
The three of them were not killed by shier, but were executed by the Frost Wolf Clan’s patriarch himself.
Shier walked down the stairs expressionlessly, and the Frost Wolf Clan’s patriarch followed behind Shier.
“What happened?”Shier stared at the man who was one head taller than him.
“Ruins.”
The chief of the Frost Wolf Clan sounded incredibly tired.
“A ruins was found in a mine in the mountain range at the edge of the Frost Wolf City. NIV liked to explore since he was young, so he brought his younger brother and a whole team of frost wolf guards to explore the ruins.”
NIV was the name of the eldest son of Frost Wolf family. When shier brought his troops to Frost Wolf family and was about to subdue this family, he found that the entire Frost Wolf City was in a sorrowful atmosphere.
“Where are the survivors?”
Shier had observed the situation of the Three Corpses. It seemed that they were affected by the gray fog.
This made shier suspect that this was another conspiracy of the heretic court.
However, what made shier feel strange was that she had checked the Frost Wolf clan once and found that there was no heretic court lurking in the Frost Wolf clan.
“Your Majesty, Please Come This Way.”
The patriarch of the Frost Wolf Clan led shier to the place where the priests of the Frost Wolf Clan lived.
Here, shier saw those who survived.
Some of them fell to the ground and fell into a coma. Some of them looked like they were having a nightmare and looked very painful.
The group of people who were the most severely ill were tied to the bed with ropes. However, they were still in a violent state and kept struggling on the bed.
The second son of the chief of the Frost Wolf clan was one of the few people who were tied. However, the second son was different from the others. Although the veins on his face didn’t recede, he didn’t act as violent as the others, although his expression was still full of pain.
“Ravel!”
After seeing the symptoms of his second son, the patriarch immediately walked to the side.
“His symptoms yesterday were as serious as his elder brother’s,”the Frost Wolf Clan’s patriarch said to shier.
“But now he looks much better?”
Shier walked to his side and sized up the second son. His reaction indeed seemed to be much better than those who were terminally ill.
“Priestess! where is the priestess!”The chief immediately called out loudly to the priestess in charge of treatment.
A priestess wearing wolf skin on her head walked out quickly.
“What did you do?”The chief stared at the priestess and asked.
“It’s the potion that Lord Nieff brought back from the ruins.”The priestess quickly said, “We tested the effect of that potion yesterday and found that it was not toxic. It also alleviated the symptoms of a frost wolf guard, so we brought it here today for Lord Ravel to take.”
“Potion? That Little Golden Thing? If you know it’s effective, hurry up and bring some more!”The chief shouted again.
“Lord Nieff only brought back a small bottle.”The priest said with some difficulty, “We brought all of it here for Lord Ravel to take.”
These words instantly made the old chief see Hope. He took a step forward and prepared to leave.
“Where are you planning to go?”
Shier blocked his way and said.
“To that damned ruin! His Majesty the King, Please Don’t Stop Me.”The clan leader seemed to be mentally and physically exhausted, in one night, he lost the son he was most proud of. He could no longer watch his second son die from this strange disease.
“Have you forgotten how your eldest son died? The creatures that appeared in the ruins might be something you can’t deal with.”
Shier’s voice was like a cold wind, instantly saving the Patriarch from the edge of impulsiveness.
“Then what do you want me to do, Your Majesty? Stay here and watch my clansmen die!”The patriarch asked.
“First, I have to find out what happened in the Ruins!”
Shier came to the second son again.
His condition had eased a lot, but the gray fog’s effect on him was still there.
Shier took out the leaf of the world tree that he always carried with him. The moment the pendant appeared, the life force from the world tree gradually stabilized the second son’s pain.
It worked!
Shier opened the interface of the Mana Net and found a document that the firegiver had sent her. The document recorded the singing of a frost elf.
Her singing could alleviate the effects of the gray fog, something that shier had verified a long time ago.
A soothing elven poem echoed throughout the hall along with the runes of Shier’s ‘voice’and ‘amplification’.
After the second son heard the song, his tightly shut eyes trembled slightly before he finally opened them.
“Father... father? D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D! Get Out of my mind!”
However, the moment his eyes opened, his emotions were extremely agitated. His tremendous strength even broke free from the restraints of the rope.
“Ravel!”The clan leader’s face was filled with joy when he saw his second son waking up.
However, the second son was not very friendly. With a wave of his hand, he shattered the bed he was sleeping on.
When shier saw this scene, a light blue frost appeared on his hand. In an instant, the second son’s entire body was covered by the frost, unable to move. Only his head was exposed outside the ice block.
“I only restricted his movements.”Shier looked at the second son. Under the soothing singing voice, his expression gradually became calm.
“Ravel, tell me... What did you encounter in the Ruins?”
Shier said to the second son in an irrefutable tone.
“A monster without a face,”the second son replied to shier in a tired tone.
“No... face?”
This answer surprised shier. He thought that they had encountered people from the court of heresy.
But now it seemed that was not the case..
“Giant wolves, bears, and frost scorpions, but they don’t have faces.”The second son’s reaction became terrifying again. Shier hesitated for a moment and pressed the leaf of the world tree on his cheek, it was only then that he managed to regain his senses.
“And a group of slimy creatures... we’re surrounded,”he said.
“Then how did you get out? !”Shier asked again.
“Light... and sound.”
The second son looked up at the ceiling and gradually rolled his eyes.
“Those animals can’t see the light, and there are some sounds. I’m not sure either.”
“Really? This information is enough. Have a good rest.”
Shier felt that this was enough. She knocked the second son unconscious and took back the leaf of her world tree.
But the moment she took back the leaf of the world tree, Shier realized that something was wrong.
Her signal had dropped from full bar to only two bars of yellow signal.
What was going on?
Shier held the leaf in a panic and looked at it carefully for a while. She found that part of the green part of the leaf had turned gray.
Part of the leaf of the world tree seemed to have been corroded by the gray fog! The worst thing was... the corrosion was slowly expanding.
At this moment, Shier’s heart was enveloped by an unprecedented sense of crisis. This sense of crisis was far more overwhelming than when she was surrounded by rebel soldiers in the royal city!
“Your Majesty?”The chief at the side also noticed the abnormal expression on Shier’s face.
However, what worried him was his second son. He still seemed to be suffering from an illness.
“Get your soldiers ready. I need to rest before this.”
After saying all this, shier quickly left the hall.
