Chapter 575 Iron Rose in Stone Pillar Town

"Your concerns are very insightful, Slude. For the sake of safety, we'd better continue on our way. After all, one thing more is worse than one thing less..."

The middle-aged man raised his hand to signal the caravan to move on, and the wheels creaked as they crushed the snow.

Slude smiled relievedly, but her elder brother Haakon, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on his head, sighed, his face full of reconciliation.

The caravan continued on for another two minutes, when suddenly there were one after another of strange howls from the snow-capped mountain, one after another, which was soul-stirring.

The expressions of the middle-aged man and his two sons and daughters all changed, and they hurriedly ordered the coachman to suspend their journey. The Asa hunters who were bodyguards around them also reined in their horses and took up their shotguns to stand ready.

"It's the roar of the snow monster..." The middle-aged man listened attentively, "there are no fewer than four or five of them, and they all ran towards the mountainside diagonally opposite."

"It's okay! It's not for us!" Slude patted his plump chest and let out a long sigh of relief.

"It's just four or five snow monsters. I wish they were coming at us. If they were shot and killed, there will be snow monster meat tonight."

Haakon deliberately played against his sister.

"Stop talking stupid!" Slude glared at his brother, "Although the snow monsters look like wild beasts, they are humanoid creatures after all, and they are barely our kind. You are not an ogre. You can't eat any meat. Eating snow monster meat? Bah! How disgusting!"

"Slude, don't be so fierce. I've never eaten snow monster meat in my life. It's just a joke. Can't you have a little sense of humor?" Haakon complained angrily, "All day No matter how beautiful you are, no one dares to marry a girl like you, no wonder you are called the 'Iron Rose of Shizhu Town'."

"You don't need to worry about me!" Slude said angrily.

"Stop arguing, you two, that group of snow monsters... seems to be heading towards the direction where the gunshots rang out just now." The middle-aged man's face was solemn, "If I heard correctly, the snow monsters are probably attracted by the gunshots, Go kill that shooter."

"Father, this shows that the gunman just shot out of self-defense and had no choice but to shoot, not some trap imagined by Slude. If we don't intervene, that unlucky gunman might not be able to cope with the siege of so many snow monsters! said Haakon eagerly.

"Maybe he has a companion to help, so we don't need to meddle in our own business." Slude couldn't help interjecting.

"But it's also possible that you are alone. If you don't go and see it with your own eyes, how will you know if someone needs help!"

Haakon turned over and jumped out of the cart, and sprinted towards the mountainside.

"Dad, why didn't you stop Haakon!" Slude asked his father angrily.

The middle-aged man smiled helplessly: "You don't know your brother's temper? He wants to meddle in other people's affairs, and no one can stop him. Slude, I entrust you to take care of the team. Haakon is too impulsive to do things." , I’m worried, I have to go and have a look.” Then, he took out two magic crystal shotguns from the shed, jumped out of the cart, and threw a shotgun to his son.

Slude stomped his feet angrily, but there was nothing he could do. He thought about it quickly, and jumped out of the car with his shotgun on his back, chasing the footprints left by the father and son on the snow.

"Father! Haakon! Wait for me!"

"Slude, why are you here?"

"You two daredevils insist on going to join in the fun, how can I rest assured!" Slude said angrily, "Before going out, my mother specially told me to take good care of you two on the road, and I can't let your temper mess around, I What can be done?!"

The middle-aged man laughed, and said with emotion to his daughter: "Your temper is really like your mother. You are strict in doing things and never make mistakes. As for that bastard Haakon, he has the demeanor of my youth. Dog, if you don't cause trouble, you will have a hard time."

"Thank you for having the nerve to say it!"

Slude rolled his father's eyes, looked up at the looming white figure on the top of the mountain, the smile on his face suddenly subsided, he quickly opened the spell-casting material package, took out a handful of silver powder, skillfully typed out a string of spell-casting spells with his left hand, and then sprinkled the silver powder on the On the body of the father and elder brother, a ring of "protection against evil" is blessed for them respectively.

"There are a lot of snow monsters, we have to be more careful, and add protective spells in advance, so we don't have to be afraid of the snow monster's 'shivering gaze'."

Slude reminded his father and brother, and incidentally slapped himself with "Protection from Evil".

As an "Arcane Knight" with 7 professional levels, Slude is better at the arcane arts of "Protection School" and "Evocation School", but his spellcasting ability is not as good as that of a more professional mage.

At present, she can only cast 2nd-level spells at most, and has cast three "protection from evil", and now she only has one 1st-level spell slot and two 2nd-level spell slots.

Fortunately, "Arcane Knight" is essentially a "warrior" rather than a "mage". Slude puts more energy into hunting guns and swords than studying spells. In battle, he mainly relies on martial arts and marksmanship to defeat the enemy. She is just playing a supporting role.

"Slude, you are still thoughtful."

The middle-aged man smiled and patted his precious daughter on the head, feeling very pleased with her thoughtfulness.

However, Haakon didn't appreciate the magic protection provided by his sister, and said nonchalantly: "The three of us are direct descendants of the Volsung family, with pure Enheria blood, and when we fight, we stimulate the power of the blood and become Become a 'heroic warrior', even if you are stared at by a snow monster, you will not be paralyzed, so why waste your spell slots."

"Spell slots are indeed precious, but our bloodline power is even more precious!" Slude taught his brother with a pretty face, "Don't forget, the 'Heroic Spirit Transformation' has a time limit, and we don't know what will happen next In a crisis, the power of the blood must be preserved to save your life, and it is best not to use it unless it is absolutely necessary!"

"Anyway, you are always right. Whatever you say is right." Haakon shrugged helplessly, resolutely gave up the extremely unwise idea of ​​bickering with his sister, and rushed to the middle of the mountain quickly, and saw a tree stump standing in the distance In the snow, the stumps piled up on one side, and there was nothing else.

"Strange, it's obvious that the gunshots are coming from here, why is there no one?" Haakon looked around, his face full of confusion.

Slude knelt on the snow and carefully observed the blurred footprints. Then he looked up and told his father and brother: "Here are the footprints left by the snow monster, and there are bloodstains... Let's search along the bloodstains, and we should be able to find more valuable ones." clues."

The three of them walked not far along the bloodstains, and they found the body of a snow monster in a sheltered place on the hillside. The middle-aged man touched the corpse, turned his head and said to his daughter, "It's still mild, and the death time will not exceed an hour."

"Actually... only half an hour."

A faint voice suddenly came from behind the father and daughter, which startled them and hurriedly looked back.

In front of the tree stump behind them, magical aura suddenly appeared, and a thin figure gradually appeared in front of their eyes, changing from light to thick.
