Chapter 1162 Determination

"Brother Clark, have you killed the Snow Demon Wendigo?" Joan asked in confusion, "Who is Ms. Fiona?"

The name sounds familiar...

"It's a long story, let me start from the beginning." Clark smiled and patted the shoulder of the young mage, "Joan, do you still remember that you, me, Shrek and Casio were together in Cloud City half a year ago? Treasure hunt?"

"Of course I remember that at the same time I obtained the 'Kostchurch Collar', the snow demon living in the collar also woke up and destroyed the protective barrier of Cloud City. As a result, we were all sucked out of the window by the high air pressure and fell into the storm clouds After that, we got separated," Joan recalled.

"At that time, Shrek, Casio, and I were all swept into a portal in the eye of the storm by the storm clouds, and then lost consciousness. When I regained consciousness, I found myself lying alone on a strange snowfield."

Clark followed Joan's topic to recall the past.

"I wandered on the desolate snow field for several days, and finally found Shrek and Casio, to be precise, they found me, and Shrek's dream lover, Deep Forest Valley, was with them. High Ogre Witch Fiona."

"Thanks to Ms. Fiona who arrived in time and used magic to find Shrek and Cassio, and then found me, the three of us were able to reunite after being separated."

"At that time, Shrek, Casio, I, and I were very worried about your whereabouts, so we asked Fiona to help find you. Fiona tried to track your whereabouts with the 'detection technique', and found that you were no less than thousands of miles away from the Genting Highlands where we were. Is it in the east of the Fang Mountains?"

"I did fall in Fangshan Mountain and broke my leg." Joan replied with some embarrassment.

"Because the distance was too far, we couldn't find you all at once. Fortunately, we were relieved to know that you were still alive." Clark continued, "Just when we were about to go on the road to look for you, an accident happened...for a while The sudden blizzard brought the Snow Demon Wendigo to us."

Recalling the past when he was hunted down by the Snow Demon, a look of horror flashed across Clark's face, as if he was still a little scared.

"There is a mysterious connection between that monster and the 'Kostchurch Collar'. As long as I wear the collar, it can know exactly where I am."

"Fortunately, when the Snow Demon came after me, I was accompanied by Shrek, Casio, and the powerful witch Fiona."

"The four of us teamed up to fight against the snow demon. After a hard fight, we finally killed this monster on the Yunding Plateau."

"Before the snow demon died, he also left a nearly fatal wound on my body..." Clark touched the scar on his chest with lingering fear, and then said: "Casio cast a spell to heal my wound and stop the bleeding, and finally saved my life." At that time, I thought I was physically strong, so I didn't pay much attention to this kind of trauma."

"After the battle, I said goodbye to Shrek, Casio, and Fiona. The three of them returned to the deep forest valley of Alfheim, while I took the 'Kostchurch Collar' and went north alone, intending to send the collar to Nefer The Temple of the River Styx in Elheim, and hand it over to the Witch."

"I walked northward along the snow-capped mountains and entered the Midgard region. On the way, I encountered monster attacks occasionally. It was not a big threat. The only thing that disturbed me was that I often had nightmares, and sometimes fell asleep for no reason. It takes a whole day to wake up..."

"This is the initial sign of 'winter mania'. While the snow demon scratched you, it also infected you with this supernatural disease." Joan said.

Clark nodded and said with a wry smile: "In retrospect, this is indeed the case, but I didn't understand it at the time, and thought I was too tired, so I didn't take it seriously, so I traveled all the way north and entered the Fangshan Mountain On the way, I ran into an Asa caravan besieged by snow monsters, so I helped them drive away the monsters."

"That's how I got acquainted with Elder Hunter and the others, and followed the caravan to Elk Town. As for what happened after that, you don't need me to tell you."

Joan nodded, and asked Clark softly: "Elk Town has been surrounded by the men and horses of Winterhold. Just this afternoon, the city walls were also demolished by mythical giants. 'White Prince' Vignir not only wants your life, but also Completely destroy this town...Brother Clark, what are your plans next?"

"It's all because of me that Elk Town caused this disaster." Apology and determination alternately appeared on Clark's face, "Joan, I don't want to hurt the people in this town anymore, but I'm not willing to give in to those demon believers either. I will leave Elk Town tonight, and I will go out in a fair manner, trying to attract as many bandits from Winterhold to chase me down, and it is best to lure that giant statue away."

Taking a deep breath, Clark continued, "Joan, that's all I can do, but it still can't guarantee the safety of Elk Town, and it can't ensure that Trim and Vignier and his son won't come back to take revenge afterwards. Look, this town cannot be defended after all, the residents of the town had better flee separately and evacuate to towns far away from the Tusk Mountain to avoid being massacred by the Winterhold thugs."

"Brother Clark, I carry a 'Teleportation' scroll with me. In fact, we can directly teleport to places far away from the sphere of influence of Winterhold..."

Clark waved his hand to prevent Joan from continuing.

"Brother, I also have a 'Teleportation' scroll with me, but it can't be used, at least not now."

"Think about it, if I teleport away, what will happen to Elk Town? The bandits from Winterhold broke into the town but couldn't find me. They must slaughter the townspeople to vent their anger."

"So instead of slipping away quietly, I have to walk out of Elk Town openly, and leave the town right in front of the bandits of Winterhold. Only in this way can they attract their attention and concentrate on chasing and killing me instead of venting their anger on Elk Town."

Qiao An nodded, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart.

He had to admit that Clark's almost suicidal approach was the only strategy that could save the residents of Elk Town from massacres to the greatest extent.

"Brother Clark, when do you plan to leave, I will accompany you on the road."

"Let's go tonight, but you can't go with me." Clark patted the shoulder of the young mage, and solemnly persuaded: "Joan, I understand your intentions, but I would rather fight my own way! This is not the case. Because I'm afraid of hurting you, but I still have one very important thing to ask for your help, if I unfortunately fail to escape the siege, I will pin all the hopes of completing this mission on you."
