Chapter 288 Faith (Additional update, please give me a monthly ticket)
"Chirp!"
The clay dragon Ross was hovering in the sky, and Baron Roman on his back was looking at the Knights of the Glowing Valley with a comfortable look.
In his opinion, three years of hard labor in battle in exchange for the identity of a dragon knight was too cost-effective.
The battle on the ground ended quickly, and groups of snow ghosts were divided, defeated, and harvested the ice hail beads without leaving any trace.
"Strange, I have been in the snowfield for a few days, but I haven't seen a single snow demon." Baron Roman looked at the snowfield in the distance. Through the wind and snow, he could vaguely see the group of snow ghosts moving, but there was no sign of snow demons.
He frowned: "Could it be that after the snow giant Da broke his arm, he called back all the snow demons? Or because the snow giant Da was seriously injured, he could no longer dissipate his power and condense snow demons?"
If so.
There would be no ice soul beads to earn.
Although Baron Roman's trip was to harvest ice hail beads for Rosse, the black oil dragon that had not yet hatched, he did not want to harvest ice soul beads.
Only by harvesting enough Ice Soul Orbs can he further improve his title. Perhaps in his lifetime, he may really be able to bring his family to the height of an earl. At that time, his name, Roman Fluorescent Mushroom, will be chanted by future generations.
Thinking of this.
He immediately ordered: "Continue to explore the depths of the snowfield west of the Mountain and River Trade Road!"
The Dark Light Valley Knights will first step into the Mountain and River Trade Road, and then explore the surrounding areas with the cold spring point as the center, hunting snow ghosts and clearing the trade road.
"My Lord has ordered, continue to go west!"
"Go west, go west!"
The Knights made some preparations and continued to move into the depths of the snowfield to hunt all the snow ghosts they could meet.
However, there is a limit to the depth of the snowfield.
Once they go too deep and lose the protection of the cold spring point on the way, the Knights will easily get lost in the snowfield. The knights are fine, they have fighting spirit and magic potions, which can be replenished at any time, but the war horses under their seats are not.
Although war horses have been cultivated for generations, and are not as good as Yuan beasts, they are just ordinary bloodlines after all, and it is difficult for them to run freely in the vast world like fantasy beasts.
Once the load limit is exceeded, it is easy to die of hypothermia on the snowfield.
If the war horse dies, the knight will be unable to move, and it will be difficult to reach the nearby cold springs in time, and eventually freeze to death on the snowfield.
Fortunately, the Knights are basically accompanied by two-legged dragons when they move.
The two-legged dragon can overlook the earth from a high altitude, and through special sensing power, find the cold springs on the snowfield and provide shelter for the Knights in time.
Wow.
Facing the wind, Baron Roman unfolded a map he carried with him and looked at it carefully: "About ten kilometers further west, there will be a new cold spring... I remember this cold spring, and I haven't been here for more than 20 years."
The map was drawn by Baron Roman's father Rod himself. At that time, he rode the clay dragon Ross and flew and explored on the snowfield.
The map shows the locations of most of the cold springs in the snowfield around the Youguang Valley.
But after Rhodes died, Baron Roman could not ride a dragon, and it was difficult for the phantom beast to sense the existence of the cold spring point, so most of the cold spring points were never visited again. The Knights were limited to the trade routes and the surrounding areas of the territory to eliminate the snow ghosts.
"Chiu!" Lord Ross responded, and he missed it very much.
"In the next three years, let's have a good fight!" Baron Roman rolled up the map and said with high spirits, "If we can't kill the snow giant, can we kill the snow ghosts and snow demons? Even if the blue-skinned horse riders come, we will hunt them anyway!"
Faced with Baron Roman's ambitions, Lord Ross did not respond. The snow giant was a terrifying memory that he didn't want to mention.
If he hadn't been moved by what Baron Roman did, he would never agree to the contract.
As long as there is no contract, it is a free and independent individual, and it can disobey even the order of the Shadow Flame Dragon.
Fighting for the dragon, once is enough.
But dragons are born in the world, just like humans, they want freedom but it is difficult to really get freedom, there will always be this kind of fetters.
"I understand what you are thinking." Baron Roman keenly sensed Lord Ross's gradually depressed mood, and whispered to comfort him, "But the Shadow Flame Dragon is our foundation. Without the Shadow Flame Dragon, we will be like a tree without roots, a duckweed floating on the water... No matter how big the world is, where can we go?"
"Chiu!" Lord Ross called out.
Baron Roman shook his head and laughed: "Leaving is not realistic. This is the foundation of you and me... But don't worry, since the first fall, the way of survival of the fluorescent mushroom family has changed from bravery and diligence to low-key."
He looked at the clouds in the sky and said with emotion: "The second fall made me more determined. Only low-key can last long."
Those who showed up, such as Grand Duke Kunstan, have died on the battlefield.
Those who slacked off, such as his second son Russell, are about to become a dragon knight.
These two vivid examples made Baron Roman deeply understand the true meaning of survival, which is low-key.
"And if you, Ross, hadn't been so low-key and pragmatic and hadn't helped the Shadow Flame Dragon, the sneak attack by the Blue-skinned Knights would have caused heavy losses. No one said it, but everyone was secretly thanking you. Do you understand, Ross?"
"Chiu!"
At this moment, above the snowy plain with rolling clouds and mist, there was a common and firm belief between the man and the dragon.
...
"Eric, Grove, you lead the knights to fight on the snowy plain. Don't be greedy and reckless. Just clear out the snow ghosts around the territory." Russell saw off the knights on the snowy plain above the Cave Village.
"Yes, sir!" Eric responded in a muffled voice, and Kevin, the golden and silver wolfhound beside him, also responded with "woof woof" twice.
Russell looked at Grove again: "You are newly married, and I sent you to fight in the snowfield. Will you blame me?"
Grov scratched the back of his head: "Sir, everything Grove has now is your gift. Fighting for you is not only Grove's willingness, but my wife Fanny also has the same idea and has no complaints."
"Okay, I hope Fanny doesn't blame me." Russell smiled and waved his hand, "Go and come back quickly. After killing the snow ghosts, it won't be too late to come back and make a big fat boy."
After speaking, Russell laughed.
Jack and other knights and followers laughed, and even Eric laughed twice.
After sending the knights away, Russell did not stop and followed them to the snowfield.
However, he did not clear the snow ghosts around the territory, but headed to the snowfield west of the Bend Blade Mountain to inspect the future territory.
"Polly, let's go to this location first and find the first cold spring point." Russell took out a map and pointed the direction to the unicorn Polly.
With Polly's intelligence, she can completely understand the map.
As for the map, it was copied from Baron Roman.
"Go." Polly responded softly, and then her four hooves galloped in the air, moving forward at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour.
When encountering a small group of snow ghosts on the road, Russell directly opened the three sword flow, cut the snow ghosts into pieces in the form of a quick knife, and then stabbed out the five-meter-long thorn whip, rolled over the heads one by one, and took away the ice hail beads.
When encountering a large group of snow ghosts, just bypass or throw them away.
Two hours later, the corresponding cold spring point on the map was successfully found. This cold spring point was almost abandoned. The whole thing was covered with snow. If the snow had not melted into a big pit, it would not be found by the naked eye.
The five-meter-long thorn whip came in handy, sweeping directly against the surface, sweeping away the snow, and then revealing a shallow layer of ice cover.
By breaking the ice cap, you can enter the cold spring from the patio.
