Paladin

The wood elf whispered: "This is not a place to talk, Evan. Look at these highlanders, there are scouts from the Xuefeng sect among them. Xuefeng has developed a large number of believers among the highlanders. I don't want to risk exchanging intelligence on their turf."

Evan nodded in understanding, and went back to whisper a few words with Hugo.

The paladins put away the hot water and food in silence, opened the door and left the hotel; the wind and snow outside the door immediately poured into the house, and the heavy snow in the White Dragon Valley seemed to be heavier.

Here, the time cannot be judged by the color of the sky, and Evan can only judge based on his intuition that it is approaching midnight.

A group of people walked for a while in the wind and snow, and found a suitable land to camp.

The wood elf named White Sparrow followed them for a while and told Evan: "Go north along this road, and the Dragon's Throat is not far away, but the wind and snow are too heavy now, and it is impossible for you to pass there."

The reason why the Dragon's Throat is called this is because it is a narrow mountain road. The terrain of the mountains on both sides just surrounds the White Dragon Valley and this mountain road. The cold wind blowing from the north can only pass through this mountain road. This area, so there is a strong wind all the year round.

Those winds carried snow and hail, and made a sound like a dragon's roar. The mountain road was like a dragon's throat, roaring and spraying out cold and biting dragon's breath—so it was called the dragon's throat.

Ordinary people who are not used to ice and snow cannot pass there, but the highlanders in Nestor Province are extremely cold-resistant: Most of the Snowwind Sect composed of highlanders passed through the Dragon's Throat, and there is a large gathering place on the other side , and taking advantage of the heavy snow, planning some kind of ceremony.

"This is a group of extreme lunatics. They are more terrifying than the Holy See. They are not only hostile to all those who do not believe in their Snow Wind Goddess, they are even hostile to any other race - including the Mankasa. In their eyes, they are highlanders. A race completely different from other humans," Baique said.

Evan probably knew why the wood elf came here to inquire about the news. Perhaps the nearby wood elf tribe also felt nervous because of this, thinking that these Xuefeng Cult people would threaten their survival.

Did the druid's prophecy come from these people from the Snow Wind Sect?Are they fighting the phoenix and melting the ice on the mountains north of Nestor?

"Do you know any news about Phoenix?" Evan continued to ask after pondering for a moment.

Bai Que was taken aback and said: "You came here following the news of Phoenix, not for the Snow Wind Sect? No, I didn't know that Phoenix appeared here..."

Evan shook his head and said, "I also don't have much information. If I can't pass through the Dragon's Throat tonight, I think tomorrow will be the latest, and I will go in with you to investigate the situation inside, is that okay?"

The white bird nodded, with a smile on its face: "Of course, I am very happy to meet the elves here. Maybe you can come to our dense forest as guests after the matter is over. The elder must be very happy to receive a high elf guest……"

They walked while talking, and the white sparrow pointed out the direction of the dragon's throat for Evan.

The paladins pitched their tents and lit a bonfire.Hugo took off the hood, handed Evan a pot of freshly boiled hot water, and said, "Evan, brothers can pass through the Throat of the Dragon, these wind and snow are nothing..."

"We have been on the road for nearly 20 days, can everyone still adapt to the climate here?" Evan turned his head and asked in a low voice.

Hugo nodded and said: "There are some slight frostbite, but it doesn't matter; two brothers seem to have some discomfort in their eyes, but they can be completely cured with magic..."

Evan nodded reassuringly.

This is the scary thing about the Knights Templar. Not only do they have strong personal strength, strict discipline and high moral standards, excellent obedience and team combat capabilities, but they can also perform divine magic for field medical treatment.

Whether it is physically or mentally, there is almost nothing in this world that can defeat a team of paladins.

Hugo and Baique looked at each other, then frowned, suddenly aware of a trace of hostility.He glanced at Evan again and said, "I'll make arrangements first." Then he stepped back vigilantly, leaving the two of them temporarily to avoid more conflicts.

The smile on Bai Que's face disappeared without a trace, and he whispered: "Paladins? You are actually from the Holy See, and you are actually a Holy Knight team of the Holy See?...As a high elf, why are you in the Holy Knight team? "

"They follow my command." Evan explained, "Don't be nervous, I'm here to stop a bigger storm, and I don't want to conflict with anyone here."

The wood elf stood up, glanced at the paladin team behind him, and said back, "No, I can't continue to cooperate with you, I can't trust the people of the Holy See."

He put his coat back on and was about to leave immediately.

Evan frowned and said, "White Sparrow, you know that the Knights Templar has no function of judging heresy. We will not harm you, and we have no intention of harming the Wood Elf tribe here."

"I know...I know you have no malicious intentions." The white sparrow said in Elvish language, "but...but I believe in the moon god, and you are from the Holy See."

This kind of contradiction does not come from individuals, but the suspicion and hatred gradually accumulated by countless people of two camps and two ideas over hundreds of thousands of years.

The white bird's eyes are very complicated, and it looks at Evan in the snow.

"I... like you very much. Maybe the next time we meet again, don't tell me that you are from the Holy See. I will pretend that we met for the first time, and then invite you to sit in my house for a while." He said slowly After that, he walked into the vast snow, and disappeared under the cover of the snow curtain like a tiny bird.

Evan never saw him again.

Evan sighed softly, walked back to the tent, and talked with Hugo.

He said: "Notify everyone to be ready to leave at any time, and pass through the dragon's throat early tomorrow morning."

Hugo realized the meaning behind this sentence and asked, "Evan, are you going to investigate the situation inside by yourself tonight?"

"Maybe I am the only one who can sneak in here, and try not to be discovered by the people of the Snow Wind Sect." Evan said without doubt, "Hugo, you must be careful when you prepare outside, there are many highlanders here. Believers of the sect, if your identities are exposed, you may come to attack the camp."

"I understand." Hugo nodded, "You should also be careful."

When Evan walked out of the camp and was about to go to the Dragon's Throat alone, he saw the highlander fool sitting outside the tent—sitting on a rock in a posture he was very skilled in.Heavy snow covered his eyebrows and eyes, dyeing his cloak white.

"What are you doing here, Gao Shan?" Evan hesitated a little, but walked over and asked.

Gao Shan's eyes were blank, looking at the heavy snow in the sky, he said intermittently: "My house...I climbed out...I climbed out of this road."

He didn't match his words, and Evan had to tentatively ask: "Is your home here?"

Gao Shan shook his head and said, "I won't go back. I'm stupid."

He blinked his eyes, and didn't seem to understand what he said. After that, no matter how Evan tried, he would only say something like "crawl out of this road".

Evan had to use the old method to "order" him to go back to the tent to rest, which made the highlander fool go back obediently.

A quarter of an hour later, Evan stepped into the "Dragon's Throat".

The cold wind seems to be magnified hundreds of times in this special terrain, and its whimpering sound is as terrifying as thunder.Evan supported the nearby cliff with one hand, and walked in it step by step, and the heavy snow gradually covered his knees.

Fortunately, he has experienced such a dangerous environment... He has even experienced the frost dragon's breath of the white dragon. Compared with that, this snowstorm seems nothing.

Evan walked slowly through the Dragon's Throat, carefully paying attention to whether there would be a sentry post of the Snow Wind Sect nearby - but nothing was found, perhaps the other party also thought that such a strong wind would prevent others from entering.

The heavy snow quickly buried Evan's footprints when he came.

He walked through a narrow path that could only accommodate two people side by side, and gradually opened up in front of his eyes. The piercing cold wind gradually calmed down as the terrain changed, and he began to discover traces of human actions.

Evan pulled up his hood and began to carefully look for places with higher ground to walk. He didn't have much scouting experience, but it was enough to handle it in this environment.

Soon Evan made a new discovery.

The highlanders established a large camp in this originally inaccessible valley.Their sentry posts were built very high, rising from the ground, indistinct in the wind and snow, behind seven or eight consecutive sentry posts was their old base camp.

Evan had visually inspected the positions of these sentries, and he had the opportunity to climb the cliff from the side and climb over under the cover of wind and snow without being exposed to the sight of the sentries.

The elf tightened his cloak and bit a dagger in his mouth just in case, then jumped up and climbed up the cliff with his bare hands-these black cliffs stood silently on the side, dotted with ice and snow blowing from the front A series of white patterns emerged, and Evan jumped and climbed on it like a sensitive antelope.

His speed was very fast, but when he was about to reach half of the journey, he suddenly felt a gust of wind hit behind his head——

The wind was mixed with magical breath, and a mysterious force field rushed towards him directly.

Evan reacted quickly, and immediately kicked his legs up the cliff, and flipped backwards from a height of tens of meters. When he flipped in mid-air, he held the dagger in his mouth with one hand, and then turned around. Draw two complete arcs.

The force field was forcibly broken by him, and Evan swiftly twirled down, counteracting the momentum of the fall. When he fell back into the snow without a sound, he had already put his hand on the Phoenix sword behind his back.

But at this moment, a familiar breath rushed over from behind him, Evan froze when he drew his sword, and just shouted: "You—"

He was then thrown violently into the snow by someone who came.

They fell into the ice and snow and rolled around. Evan's neck was icy cold, and he didn't know how much frost and snow fell into it, and then his mouth was covered by the other party.

Evan had no intention of resisting, and after panting for a while, he asked, "Showit... why are you here?"

And Hewitt pressed him in the snow, looked back, seemed to confirm something, then turned around again, and then couldn't help but kissed him again.
