It was a windy night.
Ahem.
There was only wind and snow, but no moonlight.
In short, the night passed quickly.
The next morning, the snowstorm disappeared completely, leaving behind a cloudless sky.
When the first ray of sunlight appeared.
Boundless whiteness filled everyone's vision, and they felt like they were going to be blinded.
After all, in the real world and the Gods' world, as long as one was an ordinary person, he or she had a chance of obtaining the Snow Blindness Certificate.
William forcefully pushed open the window on the second floor and took a deep breath of air. The cool and refreshing air greeted him. The air here had a different kind of freshness.
The arrival of the snowstorm seemed to have brought more magic.
Because Annie had meditated on her bed for the whole night …
William had never trained before. He did not know if training would make people feel more relaxed the next day.
But it seemed like it was not the case.
Annie did not sleep at night. She was so sleepy that she did not even eat breakfast. After William woke up, she crawled into the warm bed and slept.
William looked at her sleeping appearance and let her sleep for a while. He would set off in the afternoon.
Hmm.
There was no hurry.
William had plenty of time.
Although he said that he would use a month to search for mission information, if he was lucky, he would encounter it soon. If he was unlucky, everything would be for naught.
Then ~
Annie, who had the highest Luck, wanted to sleep.
Of course, it was to let her sleep.
In short, after arriving at the extreme north, Annie's will was the lighthouse of William's life. He would follow her wherever she wanted him to go.
As for using this metaphysical method to search for mission clues, would it work?
Why not ask the Goddess of Luck how she became a God …
The Goddess of Luck and the Goddess of Misfortune were two of the few Gods who had not died. They could not be incompetent.
Even Moses had said that luck and misfortune were magic that he had just come into contact with.
That would prove it.
Luck was also a kind of endowment, or a kind of magic that could be learned.
But it was too difficult.
It was difficult for ordinary people to try.
First, one had to have the endowment.
Hmm.
Moses seemed to have successfully reached the threshold because of his endowment of 1 Luck.
It would be difficult for William to learn Luck magic. If he could get along well with the Goddess of Misfortune, he might be able to learn some Misfortune magic.
…
It was noon.
The group left the snow-covered town. Olaf continued to lead them north after Annie pointed out the direction casually.
In fact, the snowstorm last night was too strong.
The road, which wasn't much to begin with, was now completely covered in pure white snow.
William and the others could not walk at all, so they had no choice but to fly all the way north.
Until then.
Olaf was completely shocked.
That was because the white horse that had been frozen for an entire night was actually a unicorn with wings and rainbows under its feet!
"These guys actually have such a magical animal following them. Where did they come from? But then again, can I say that the girl on the unicorn's back is definitely a virgin? "Olaf suddenly froze.
He took a few glances at the handsome prince and said, "Tsk tsk, you can even endure this. You're not a man."
Of course.
Olaf was just attacking with his eyes.
William did not know.
Even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
He was not the kind of person to haggle over every ounce.
Hence.
After flying for tens of miles, they arrived at a small town. Then, they flew down from the sky, giving the panting Olaf a chance to catch his breath.
If it was the first time that an Advanced expert had come into contact with flying, their speed and endurance were not very high.
Then, a Grandmaster could fly for a long time.
They could not fly yesterday.
Of course, it was because of the snowstorm.
But when they came to their senses, they realized that this town was very strange. For a town that relied on hunting for a living, there was not even a dog barking. Something was not right, right?
Although the snow on the streets had been cleared, many places still revealed pitch-black traces. William could tell that the traces were black blood!
Of course, it did not mean that there was no one in this town. Many timid commoners hid in their houses and secretly observed through the cracks of the doors and windows.
Only the local garrison came out, which was a small team of soldiers. One of them, a middle-aged man, asked respectfully, "Are you the demon hunters invited by Arat?"
"Arat?" Olaf was about to reply, but he turned to look at William.
Coincidentally, when the prince flew all the way here, he happened to see a beginner professional frozen to death by the blizzard.
William took out the frozen corpse from the space ring.
Many people exclaimed. Even some commoners who were hiding in their houses could not help but come out and look at Arat's corpse.
A burly middle-aged woman used the Lion's Roar. "Arat was frozen in the snowstorm yesterday. His wife is here to collect his corpse!!!"
Her voice traveled far.
It was extremely penetrating.
It was not any softer than the voices of some professionals.
But this type of town was like this. As long as there was a person with a loud enough voice, he could act as the town's megaphone. If there was anything, he could shout.
With such a loud voice, the town instantly became lively. Many people came out and were no longer afraid of this group of professionals who could fly.
Actually, there was no other way. There were only so many people in the town. Everyone was either relatives or friends. Not to mention the strange things that had happened in the past few days, this was the first time someone had died.
"Thank you, my Lord, for returning Arat's corpse. I … please accept this money." The captain of the town's garrison quickly took out some silver coins from his pocket and asked for some from other soldiers. He was about to send them to William.
No matter what.
He did not believe that Arat would die in the hands of someone who possessed a space treasure.
Many people were worried that Arat would go to the big city to look for the demon hunters yesterday. They said that it would be better for him to go the next day because the snowstorm was coming.
But this stubborn fellow said that he was a child of the world of ice and snow, so he would not freeze to death.
However.
It was too late to say anything now.
He was already cold.
He was completely cold.
If he had not died on the hill, his corpse would have been completely buried by the snow.
William rejected these people's good intentions. He was just doing it out of convenience. He asked curiously, "What happened to the town? Where did the blood come from? And what strange thing happened that made Mr. Arat brave the danger of the snowstorm to look for the demon hunters for help? "
"It's a long story, but I think that my Lord was just passing by. Time is precious, so I'll make it short. A monster appeared in the town and killed many of the hunters' reindeer, hunting dogs, poultry, and livestock! "The captain of the garrison said briefly.
"…" William and the rest were speechless. You really made it short. How could I make a judgment with just a few words?
Not even a mission popped up.
Thus, William, who was wearing a white fox fur coat, continued to smile. "You can explain it in detail. We're not in a rush. If possible, I can even help you solve this problem!"
"Really? The kind that doesn't require money? "The middle-aged woman who had shouted just now appeared again and asked.
"Yes, it doesn't require money. After all, my heart is for justice and light …"
Before he could finish speaking.
The middle-aged woman pushed the captain away and shouted, "Let me say, let me say. Hunter, move aside. It's hard for the Lord to make you speak. Move aside."
"It's like this. A month ago, Atlas came back from hunting in the forest in the west. He was amazing that day. He hunted a magical beast. What's it called?"
"Polar bear," Hunter, the captain of the team, interrupted.
The middle-aged woman nodded again. "Yes, yes, yes. It's a big bear with white fur. Ah, it's alive. Oh my god, it's alive. It's coming to take revenge on us …"
As she spoke.
The middle-aged woman pointed behind William and was about to run away in panic.
Everyone turned to look.
Old Leather was squatting in a corner, smoking a pipe with a man in his sixties …
But from the back, the makeup on his body really made him look no different from a polar bear.
Hunter sighed. He ignored the middle-aged woman who ran away and said, "Logically speaking, Arat is only a beginner professional. He doesn't have the ability to hunt such a powerful magical beast. The people here guessed that he must have stolen the polar bear from a monster's mouth. "
"But in order to prove his strength, Arat went to kill another polar bear in a fit of pique. In the end, he never returned, and we thought he had died there. It wasn't until seven days ago that he came back from the forest in a sorry state."
At this point, Hunter revealed a horrified expression and continued narrating, "But ever since then, he has been muttering all day. We thought that he seemed to have encountered something strange, but we didn't dare to ask him. "And strange things started to happen in the town. The reindeer, hunting dogs, and even some horses of the commoners died for no reason."
"At first, some people thought that these things should have frozen to death, so they might as well eat them. But when they let out their blood, they found that the reindeer and horses had black blood in their bodies.
"What's more terrifying is that the dead animals actually came back to life.
Including that polar bear!
But these creatures that came back to life didn't have much fighting power. We killed them. "
William raised his eyebrows. "Were any of you injured?"
"No." Hunter said decisively.
But.
The gaze of a soldier beside him was erratic. He didn't dare to continue looking at William and the others.
"There's so much information, but there's still no mission notification. Could Annie be that lucky?" William seemed to have thought of something. He had discovered the source of the curse when he came here.
So William continued to say, "Don't worry. If you have any injuries, tell me immediately. I'll help you. Otherwise, if you get infected by this black blood, you will definitely become a dark creature. You will become a monster that only knows how to kill."
When Hunter heard this, he was a little hesitant. But looking at William's expression, it was obvious that William was not the kind of person who would lie.
He clenched his fists and pulled the young soldier beside him over. With a pitiful expression, he pleaded, "My Lord, save him. He's still young. He's only 20 years old. He's very talented. He can even become an Advanced professional. Please don't let him die."
The young man did not speak.
When he saw this scene, he gritted his teeth and tore open the clothes on his chest, exposing it to the cold air.
As expected.
A pitch-black bite mark appeared on his chest.
It was the bite mark of a hound.
But his wound was not blood-red. It had turned black, and it seemed to be spreading faster. Half of his chest had turned black.
When they saw this scene.
Many commoners had dispersed in fear. They looked strangely at the young man they were once familiar with.
William raised his eyebrows. He only knew that the curse had turned the Snow Grand Duchy into a deadly enemy, and many terrifying creatures had appeared.
But in his previous life, he had not been to the Snow Grand Duchy. After all, the Legendary continent was too big, and there were many missions. He had not been to every place.
But he did not dare to confirm that it was a virus.
He did not dare to touch it. Instead, he put on the gloves that Moses had given him. He took out a small spoon and squeezed some black blood from the rotten wound.
His Royal Highness used Insight.
It showed that it was unknown.
He moved his nose closer and sniffed. He glanced at the information panel, but there were no changes.
He was not infected.
It was not airborne.
"That's not right. If it's not an airborne curse, how can it spread so quickly? How can it cause the entire Grand Duchy of the North to fall and fill this land with poisonous fog?" William could not help but ponder.
It had to be known.
The Grand Duchy of the North had two Titled Epic warriors. There were at least tens of Grandmaster professionals. Even those legions had the lowest combat power of Intermediate professionals. There were countless Advanced professionals.
After all, this was the first line of defense against the Orc Empire. They were much stronger than the City of Dawn.
If it was really a contact-like infection, in the face of hard power, it would not spread like a zombie virus.
When the Epic experts attacked.
No matter what kind of plaything you were, it would all turn into ashes with ease.
"Is my train of thought wrong? This is not about the curse, but a new mission?" William pondered seriously.
It seemed that the young man in front of him was afraid.
The more afraid he was, the more worried he became.
His heart beat faster.
The black blood on his chest was like a spiderweb. It continued to spread, and the rate of spreading increased.
Burned Cinder coughed lightly as a reminder.
William pressed down on the young man's head. He ignored the gazes of the others and stuffed something into the young man's mouth.
Everyone felt the aura of life appear.
The wounds on the young man's body rapidly recovered. Even the black blood gradually turned into the original red blood.
A few seconds later.
The young man took a deep breath. He could not help but look at William. He almost knelt on the ground to thank William for saving his life.
Hunter recovered from his shock. He thought that the demon hunter in front of him was going to kill him …
The prince ignored everyone's gratitude. He just wanted to use one drop of the Water of Life to gain enough favorability in an attempt to get more information about the quest. So he continued to ask, "Tell me, have you seen what that monster looks like?"
"No, that monster moved very quickly. We couldn't even see his shadow. But this place is covered in snow. We can tell from the footprints that he is a monster that walks on four legs. He is not small, and each of his claws has four sharp claws. But I don't know why he doesn't attack humans. "
"He doesn't attack humans. He crawls on four legs with four sharp claws. He doesn't eat anything. His blood turns black, and he emits poisonous fog. Curse? Instant death? "When everything appeared at the same time, William suddenly thought of something.
The Dark World.
Abyss creatures.
Space overlapping!
William's expression changed. D * mn, he could not afford to offend this mission. He had to quickly escape and send a message to the Frost Empire. They did not care if they came.
Because this was not a curse.
Instead, in the future, the two spaces would overlap. Otherwise, the matter of the faint poisonous fog would not be explained. As for this kind of overlapping space, it would happen continuously in the later stages of the game. However, the records were very clear, so William would not be at a loss.
