The next morning.
Chaldea and the rest were all ready to go. After starting the armored vehicle, everyone rushed toward the direction of the ice castle that Ryuga had given them.
The king of the Anomaly Zone was Skati and not Surter. Ryuga had already confirmed this through the Spirit Base mission. Surter was essentially an accident.
With such abundant battle strength, they weren't afraid of any opponents at all, which was why they decided to have a decisive battle with the Skati Empire.
There were many unexpected giants along the way.
They were different from the giants two days ago. Two days ago, most of the giants lived in the coniferous forest where they could avoid the flames on the ground. They also wore masks that restricted their movements.
But now, two days later, these earthy gray, icy blue, and crimson giants all tore off the masks on their faces. Their aura became very violent, as if they were going to devour anyone they came across.
The reason was none other than the drastic change two days ago.
The appearance of Surter had driven the giants into a frenzy. They had broken free from their masks and acted without restraint. Now, all of Northern Europe was filled with violent and out-of-control giants. Even though Surter had been defeated by Liuxia, it did not stop them from going on a rampage.
If it were not for the enchantment outside those settlements, the giants would have flattened them and trampled the remaining ten thousand people in Northern Europe into meat paste.
Fittoria was leading the way outside. Her speed was two times faster than the speeding submarine. With her combat power in the form of the Filo Bird Queen, no matter what giants came, they would only be killed by her in an instant.
As a result, a long path paved with giant corpses was left behind in the path of the submarine.
"But, the mana density in this Anomaly Zone is really high. It's even denser than in Russia."
Little Da Vinci was in the computer room. He was talking to the people in the command room through the display screen. His little face was filled with confusion.
"This Anomaly Zone has already reached the end. Why is the mana density of the Originator still so high? Isn't this the opposite of the previous speculation of the depletion of resources? "
"Well, it does seem a little strange on the surface."
Holmes pondered for a moment and looked in Ryuga's direction.
"Mr. Liangyi, what do you think?"
There was a sense of deja vu between Holmes and Watson.
Tachika Fujimaru and Matthew thought as they looked at the two of them.
"I do have a conjecture."
Ryuga looked at the thumbnail map of Northern Europe on the big screen and rubbed her smooth chin.
"That's probably not the mana of the Root … Before Surter awakened, I noticed a strange phenomenon in this land — the coexistence of ice and fire."
Two days ago, the white ice and the green fire were in a stalemate at the northern border of Northern Europe.
However, after Surter woke up, the green flames suddenly became violent and began to spread towards the ice, melting the ice that had not melted for thousands of years.
If he was not wrong, that green flame was probably Surter's Final Flame.
However, it wasn't from the modern era. Instead, it was a remnant flame that had been left on the earth since the Twilight of the Gods more than three thousand years ago.
"There's such a thing?"
Holmes raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and a thoughtful look appeared on his handsome face.
"In that case, the ice that can compete with the green flames is probably … Then, the mana of the Root in the air, if I'm not wrong, could it be …?"
"I'm afraid that's it."
Holmes didn't say it explicitly, but Ryuga still understood what he meant and nodded calmly.
"In that case, I'm afraid it's just as you said. It's a benevolent god."
Holmes sighed and looked extremely regretful.
"… Will the two of you die if you don't play riddles?!"
Little Da Vinci's little face scrunched up as he glared at the two of them and scolded fiercely.
"Hahaha! Please don't mind it, it's just a habit of detectives. "
Holmes laughed, and there was a subtle hint of joy on his face.
"Before getting definite evidence, detectives generally don't reveal the mystery, but Mr. Liangyi's words have become evidence. This mystery has been solved, so I won't hide it from you. The mana of the Root in the Nordic Anomaly is most likely not generated by nature itself, but leaked by someone …"
…
Two hours later.
The Virtual Submarine arrived outside the city of ice and snow at the center of the anomaly zone. It anchored on the long bridge of ice that was like a winding path.
"I can indeed detect a huge mana reaction, and the reactions of several servants!"
Little Da Vinci popped his head out of the computer room and warned everyone.
"Although the combat power should be enough, don't be careless!"
"Understood!"
Tachika Fujimaru made an OK gesture to her, and then followed Ryuga and the others out of the submarine and came to the ice bridge.
Holmes and Da Vinci, as usual, were guarding the submarine, worried that the remaining combat power might not be enough. Dotya and Fittoria were also left there.
Only Ryuga, Esders, and Musashi went to the ice castle with Tachika Fujimaru.
The four of them gathered together, step by step, walked across the ice bridge, and walked toward the City of Snow and Ice.
More than ten minutes later.
The four of them crossed the winding ice bridge and came to the front of the castle.
"Wait a minute, there is a servant in front of you!"
Little Da Vinci's figure appeared on the screen and reminded everyone.
But in fact, even if she didn't remind them, they could see the figure of the servant who was wandering in front of the castle gate.
It was a very tall man, wearing a brown military uniform that seemed to be worn by European soldiers two or three hundred years ago. His muscular chest was exposed, and he held a one-handed heavy cannon in his hand. His whole person exuded a strong aura.
At the moment, he was wandering outside the castle, frowning, no one knew what trouble he encountered.
"That is … a servant from the modern era, right?"
Even the knowledgeable Tachika Fujimaru didn't know him, but she saw the heavy artillery in his hand.
"It should be a solo servant."
Ryuga looked at the man and guessed.
When he first came to the anomaly zone, he used his Future Vision to calculate that there were two solo servants. One of them was Brunhilda, and the other one was the man in front of him.
"Go and try to talk to him!"
Tachika Fujimaru quickly made a decision and walked toward the direction of the man.
When the other party saw the few people walking over, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he took the initiative to run over.
