The north wind whistled across the ice field, and Givet tightly covered his hood, and his thin body approached a little bit of the fire.
The sky is dark, and the sunshine time of the large glacier that has just ended the extreme night season is pitifully short. The distance from dawn to dusk is often only a few hours. Most of the time, the adventure team can only sneak forward in the dark.
Givet opened his silver pocket watch and then sighed at the sky, two hours before he was still around six in the morning, meaning his vigil was far from over.
A warm fur covered him, and he turned his head and looked at the blonde young woman wearing half-armored armor with a look of gratitude on her face: “Ms. Weista, thank you.”
“You’re welcome. You’re much harder than we all.” The blonde woman smiled and sat beside Givet: “I can help you stay until dawn, you can rest first.”
“No, no.” Givet was a little lost, then shook her head, with a little depressed expression: “I can’t sleep either.”
“You’ve always had something to worry about, Mr. Givet.” The woman shook her head: “I can feel that you… don’t seem to be at ease.”
“It’s a bit, girl.” Givet smiled bitterly, looking at the surrounding mountains and rivers, his old face was full of bitter expressions: “Who would like to come to this ghost place? Thousands of people have disappeared here one after another, and none of them have been back.”
“That’s the past.” A tall female elf walked out, wearing a steel plate armor and carrying a longbow: “Old man, what are you afraid of? Our Wind Speech Alliance provides the most powerful team of adventurers. Even if you really encounter danger, you can safely escape from danger. Moreover, there is a regular glacier legion provided by the Duchy of Valchi behind this time, which is far from the mob sent by the country nobles to die. What are you afraid of?”
She snorted, took out a sausage from the bag and sat next to the campfire and roasted it: “No matter what is hidden in the north here, we must find out clearly. Killing hundreds of innocent miners is a serious crime. Look at you.”
She glared at Jiweit, “What are you afraid of? Didn’t the young white dragon be killed easily by us two days ago? This is the most dangerous thing in the big glacier, and it can’t even cause any harm to us. Uh~ Weista, why are your face so strange?”
“Nothing.” The blonde woman sniffed, her face pale and very ugly.
“Well, you can’t, you’re afraid of that big white reptile?” The female elf looked surprised: “By the way, when the white dragon appeared, you hid under the horse’s belly and didn’t do it. This is not like you.”
“I’m really sorry, I’m sorry.” The blonde woman smiled bitterly, her face did not look good. She lowered her head and sighed slightly.Shaking his head and swaying a piece of dragon skin, he began to pray.
The female elf shrugged, looked at the sky north, her long ears moved, and suddenly said ‘Damn’, then patted Jiweit on the shoulder: “Congratulations, timid old guy, there is a storm coming, we still have to rest here today.”
“Is that right?” Jiweit breathed, but he didn’t seem to breathe a sigh of relief. He lay on his back on a blanket that was not coldly smoked by the bonfire, his eyes were a little hollow. “You don’t look very happy,” the blonde asked softly.
“So what if you are happy? So what if you are unhappy?” Givet smiled bitterly: “My happiness and unhappiness in front of the nobles are really not worth mentioning. I should apologize. Ms. Weista… She has clearly made up her mind to help you and is willing to believe in your strength, but she is still a little scared…”
“Don’t think too much, those nobles are indeed too much.” The blonde woman frowned: “You actually seized your family to force you to lead the way. We will never sit by and watch this happen.”
“So… Ms. Weista, please promise me something.” The wrinkles on Givet’s face squeezed into a ball, looking extremely painful.
“What’s the matter?”
“If I encounter a dangerous situation that is difficult to deal with, I, Givet, will not be able to die.” The middle-aged man in his forties has even more painful expressions: “But please everyone in the Wind Speech Alliance, someone must go back alive.”
“Why?” Weista asked strangely.
“I am extremely grateful to all the warriors who rescued my daughter and son in the hands of Master Fatas. But this noble master coveted my daughter… My daughter has been coveting my daughter for a long time, and after you persuasion, he reluctantly gave up his bad thoughts. If you are gone, even if I am still lucky to live… I really can’t imagine what Master Fatas would do to my family.”
“Your daughter is indeed very beautiful.” Weista breathed: “Alas, I also sympathize with your experience. If possible, we will try to ensure that we can go back alive.”
The bonfire crackled and entered silence for a moment.
“…Ms. Weista.” After a moment, Jiweit spoke again: “Is the Wind Speech Alliance really upholding justice?”
“Of course, we come for the call of innocent people, not for property or reputation.” Weishit’s face was serious: “Mr. Jiweit, reality is not satisfactory. Sometimes the nobles do not abide by the noble’s noble code; but in comparison, we cannot sit idly by the evil that kills hundreds or thousands of people at any time.”
“I believe you, Miss Weista.” Jiweit smiled reluctantly: “The words you said are sincere, I believe.”
“Thank you for your belief, Mr. Jiweit.”Weista smiled.
