Chapter 2119 Winterhold

The snow monsters yawned and climbed up from the snow one after another. Before they could figure out the situation, "Brother Crow" cursed angrily, mixed with the whip screaming through the air.

"A bunch of slackers! Hurry up and get up and work!"

"During my time, I missed Master Vignier's happy event, and see if I don't suck your ass!"

The leather whip fell like raindrops, lashing the snow monsters firmly, causing the group of low-intelligence monsters to scream and scream. Frightened by the power of "Brother Crow", they had no time to think about why they suddenly lost consciousness just now, and hurriedly dragged the sled. Run hard on the snow.

Holding a whip, Joan followed the sled, supervised the snow monsters to go as fast as possible, and climbed up the sloping hillside. It was almost noon, and finally came to the top of the snow mountain, and the gate of Winterhold was in sight.

Climbing to the top of the mountain and observing this magnificent ice fortress up close, Joan was deeply shocked, and his sense of sight became stronger.

After thinking for a while, Joan finally recalled that about two years ago, he had used the "Discovery Technique" to search for Clark Heinir's whereabouts. The ice sculpture castle on the top, but before I can see it clearly, the picture in the crystal ball disappears.

Since then, Joan has tried many times to find out Clark's whereabouts, but all of them have failed to cast spells. Even the flashing picture of the snowy mountain castle has never been seen again, so that he suspects that it was just interference during spellcasting , an occasional hallucination.

It wasn't until today that Joan witnessed Winterhold on the top of the Tusk Mountain with his own eyes, and suddenly realized that what he saw in the crystal ball was the castle in front of him!

The pictures in memory coincided with the buildings in reality, prompting Joan to further think about it. Clark, who has not heard from him for three years, has been captured by Trim, the lord of Winterhold, or at least imprisoned in this castle?

The more Joan thought about it, the more she felt that this possibility was very high!

If my guess is true, it is not difficult to draw two inferences.

In the past three years, the frost giants of Winterhold have never troubled him in the future. It can be seen that even though Clark was imprisoned and tortured, he did not confess that the "spirit collar" had been given to him for safekeeping.

In addition, Trim has not found the "spirit collar" so far, no matter how much he hates Clark, he dare not kill him, otherwise it would be like cutting off the only clue to find the "spirit collar" by himself.

Now that Clark is still alive, and likely imprisoned somewhere in Winterhold, it's up to Joann to try to rescue him!

This thought was so strong that Joan couldn't help but feel excited. He quickly took a deep breath, curbed the impulse in his heart, and calmed down to think about countermeasures.

Of course he will never forget that his original intention of coming to Winterhold was to persuade Slude to cancel the engagement. Although it is important to rescue Clark, it cannot ignore Slude's plight.

Looking up at the sky, it was close to noon. Haakon said that the engagement ceremony would be held tonight. Joan calculated that he still had one afternoon to use, which should be enough to find Clark.

Thinking of this, he quickly followed the escort team and passed through the castle gate guarded by four frost giant guards. Inside the city wall, he saw a barracks and tall towers in front of him.

These ancillary buildings, like the main body of the castle, are built of eternal ice. The barracks are the residence of the frost giants, and the high tower is the lair of the white dragon.

The status of the snow monsters in Winterhold is lower than that of the frost giants and white dragons. They are just lowly servants and are not qualified to enter Trim's castle.

Joan escorted the goods to the gate of the castle, and the frost giant guards took over, waved them away angrily, and made no secret of their discrimination against the snow monsters.

Joan followed the memory of "Brother Crow", did not contradict the arrogant frost giant, and led the four younger brothers straight to the north of the castle, a snow-covered hill near the city wall.

Below the hill, there is a dark ice cave that is vaguely visible, which is the place where the snow monster servants live.

Qiao Jian stretched his waist pretentiously, yawned big, and said to his younger brothers: "You've worked hard all morning, take advantage of the rare free time, take a nap quickly, and take you to the kitchen to eat meat tonight."

"Brother Crow, can we also have wedding wine at night?" A snow monster approached and asked with a shy face.

Joan slapped him on the face, making him turn around twice, his cheeks swelled up.

"Bah!" Joan spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on his face, "You are also worthy to attend His Highness Vignier's wedding banquet? You idiot, don't have sweet dreams!"

The snow monster was beaten and scolded by him, not only did not dare to fight, but felt it was a matter of course, and tremblingly begged "Brother Crow" for his crime.

Joan whipped him twice again, showing his surly and irritable manner, and then he stopped and warned the four younger brothers: "Go back to the cave, and don't come out before dark, which bitch dares to disturb my sleep, look!" I did not skin him alive!"

The snow monsters have long been used to "Brother Crow" coquettishly bullying the upper and lower, showing their power, and sneaking into the snow cave in fear, not daring to make a sound.

Joan also got into his own cave, and found that it was quite spacious inside, and the smooth ice wall exuded a slight chill, but fortunately, he was covered with fluffy and warm long hair, so he didn't feel cold at all.

Joan walked to the end of the cave, sat on the ground, first set the "magic alarm", then opened the spell-casting material package, took out a small ball of wool and held it in his hand, and began to cast the 6-ring illusion "Eternal Mirage".

"Olos!"

Chanting an activation spell symbolizing "Phantom", Joan created an illusion in the cave, which looked exactly like "Brother Crow", a mutated snow monster, sitting curled up against the ice wall, holding his head in his hands, and uttered Heavy snoring, obviously dozing off.

Joan used the illusion created by illusion as his substitute, and then blessed the "mythical invisibility", took out the "remote viewing mirror", and tried to search for Clark Heinier's whereabouts inside Winterhold.

Unfortunately, this spellcasting still ended in failure, and no valuable information was obtained.

Joan was not surprised by this result, put away the magic mirror, and turned to cast the "creature positioning technique".

The 4th ring "biological positioning technique" cannot directly lock the target like "detection technique" or "remote viewing technique", but it can radiate invisible magic power fluctuations and continuously scan the surrounding environment. If the tracking target appears within the scanning radius, The caster will be aware of it.

This tracking method is usually not as efficient as "Scrying" and "Remote Viewing", but in the current special environment, "Biolocation" is more reliable than the latter.
