Orson said with a smile.

"Then, without further ado, let's set off directly?" Elsa suggested.

"Yeah." Orson nodded.

On the other side, Lee Teuk gathered the oppressed villagers in the village and held a meeting.

The villager who had reported the scandals done by Rice and others to Little and others was named Arnold, and he was elected as the representative of the village.

Afterwards, Leeteuk called everyone together, including Rice and the others.

"Ahem, now the village has elected a new village chief, Arnold. Do you have any objections to his appointment?"

Everyone knew that Li Te was asking Rice and others, and when they heard this, they quickly shook their heads.

"Then, regarding the future of the village, many people asked us to collect all the supplies you have and then exile you. But after thinking about it, this matter is inhumane after all, and the mistakes you have made have not been repaid."

"My idea is very simple. You write an IOU and write down all the materials you collected from the village on the IOU, and then slowly repay it with your hunting income in the following days. After it is paid off, You won’t be exploited again, and you don’t have to hand over your personal income to the village. The village chief will only be responsible for managing the normal operation of the village in the future, and he won’t tax you. How about that?”

After hearing this, Rice and others, although unwilling, nodded in agreement.

The ninth-level boss is kind-hearted. It would be better if he doesn't directly silence himself. The relationship between the people in the village and him is not good. For so many years, he has only dared to resist due to his power. How can he make them give up? Such a generous condition shows that Leeteuk and others have been mediating for a long time.

"We have no problem with it," Rice said.

"Okay, you'd better have no objections." Lit nodded. "I don't want you to live in hatred. You came here because you couldn't survive in the south. The conditions here are not good. If you continue to fight among yourself, none of you can survive."

"Similarly, I will leave a beacon in the village. If you dare to violate the contract you signed now, you can try to escape to the ends of the earth and see if we can catch you."

"Anyway, if you want to live a solid life and don't want to be worried all day long, just be honest with me."

After saying these words, Leeteuk looked at Arnold.

"Chief Arnold, from now on, these people will obey your orders."

"I know." Arnold nodded and then came to Rice.

He extended his hand toward Rice.

"When you robbed my things before, I hated you very much and wanted to kill you, but if you are willing to repent, I am also willing to let things go."

"Thank you..." Rice lowered his head in shame, then stretched out his hand and shook it with Arnold.

At least on the surface, the two reached a reconciliation, and Rice would not have the power to resist Arnold in the future.

All their weapons were confiscated, except for the bows and arrows used for hunting and the knives used for skinning wild animals. All the remaining weapons were distributed to other villagers.

They used various means to regain the villagers one by one, and then used their weapons and numerical advantages to bully them.

Today, the number of villagers has exceeded the number of Rice's group. In addition, the weapons have been confiscated, and the balance of power has changed. Even if Rice and others want to cause trouble, they have to weigh whether it will backfire on them.

What's more, there is Lena's threat. They don't want to know the consequences of angering a ninth-level boss.

After settling the matter in the village, the three of them did not stay in the village, but headed deeper into the snowfield.

Leeteuk made up his mind. The three of them had reached the second grade level. In that case, why couldn't they help a bunch of Orsons?

They say there is a temple deep in the snowfield, so go and have a look deep in the snowfield. If you find it, it can also help Orson and the others.

"Orson, what kind of existence do you think the gods believed by the Laplanders would be?" At night, at the camping site, Olivia sat next to the campfire and looked at Orson, who was also warming up, and asked.

"I don't know." Orson shook his head. "Human beings will always exaggerate their descriptions of heroes, but there is one thing I can confirm."

"What is it?"

Olivia asked curiously.

"That god is definitely lonely." Orson said.

"Lonely?"

"Well, if it's true what Grandma Sherney said, the environment deep in the snowfield is quite harsh, and it's basically impossible for any living thing to survive there. In this case, there shouldn't be anyone taking care of the temple."

"I have been to the Temple of Limusa. At least there are regular worship activities there, and there are also orc priests who are resident in the temple. The treatment Limusa receives is at least very good. His creations all remember his grace."

"But haven't the Laplanders always remembered their gods?"

"That only exists in myths and legends. I guess no one has actually been to that place for a long time, right?"

"So, you think gods can be lonely, right?"

"Yeah." Orson nodded.

He once had a conversation with Limusa and knew that gods were not as cold as stone. At least, not all gods were emotionless.

Another week passed, and the three of them went deep into the snowfield. Just when they thought they were going to get lost in the vast snow, suddenly, there was a clear undulation in the distance.

"Orson, look!" Elsa was the first to see the peak in the distance.

"There is a mountain over there! Is it the legendary... snow-capped mountain that towers into the clouds?"

"Well, let's go up the mountain first." After finding the destination, Orson also regained his spirits and led the two people to the snowy mountain.

However, this is just a small hill.

When Orson and others climbed to the top of the mountain in the wind and snow, they could only see higher peaks in the distance.

"This place... seems to be the place in their legend." Olivia looked at the spectacular scene in front of her and couldn't help sighing.

"Then... where is the bottomless ice cave?" Elsa asked back.

"I don't know."

Orson shook his head.

"The road should still be very long, we still have to walk a distance."

"But, we have come here, cheating... should not be prohibited."

As he said this, Orson pulled out the blanket.

"The magic will be consumed very quickly here. If I can't hold on any longer, Elsa, you can take over."

"Okay." Elsa nodded, and then the three of them got on the flying carpet and flew towards the highest mountain peak in the wind and snow.

Chapter 19: Cave Scene

The higher they flew, the more the three of them could feel the temperature around them dropping sharply. If the village where they were before was a place where normal people could barely survive as long as they dressed more tightly, the environment here now requires at least the strength of the fourth level to survive.

Magicians can create a warming barrier around them, or use fire magic to keep warm, while warriors can rely on their strong physique to survive.

Fortunately, the environment here is not like the original desert. No matter how powerful a human is, they cannot enter normally without some means. It's just that the temperature is low.

The three of them came to the top of the mountain, and Orson's magic power was only half consumed.

Standing on this mountain, the surrounding terrain is in full view, with a panoramic view.

To the south, the direction from which the three came, the terrain there gradually became flatter, and to the north, although there were still mountains, the terrain was also generally lower.

The location where Orson and others were now was undoubtedly the highest point around.

"So, the towering snow-capped mountains have been found, but what about the bottomless ice cave?" Elsa asked standing on the top of the mountain.

"I don't know." Orson shook his head.

Olivia paced in place, and suddenly, she felt something was wrong, and then she kicked her boots hard, and the ground made a dull sound.

Orson and Elsa's eyes were instantly attracted to it, and then everyone shoveled away the snow under their feet, revealing the true appearance of their feet.

The stones were covered with a layer of transparent ice, which looked no different from ordinary mountains, but if you look closely, you can see the lines on the rocks.

The lines on the stones can completely rule out the magic of nature, because they all point to the direction of going down the mountain.

"Could this be a clue?" Elsa said, looking at Orson and Olivia.

"Do you want to follow these traces?"

"Sure." Orson nodded. He was about to use magic, but was stopped by Elsa.

"Orson, you just spent a lot of magic power, I can do this part of the way."

As she said this, the temperature around Elsa suddenly rose, and the snow around her melted at a very fast speed, and then quickly evaporated.

Everyone walked down the mountain along the traces of the stones under their feet, and soon they came to the halfway point of the mountain.

The lines on the stone were broken here. Just when everyone was at a loss, the snow on the mountain wall next to Elsa suddenly moved.

"Be careful!" Orson, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, discovered this and immediately warned Elsa, and he also flew towards her.

As soon as Elsa heard what Orson said, she saw a few snowflakes falling.

Looking up, she saw the snow on the mountain wall falling towards her.

She had just stopped the magic, and now she couldn't start it again.

At this moment, she suddenly felt her body lighten, and then her vision changed rapidly, and she was out of the range of the avalanche in an instant.

She raised her head, and what came into her sight was Orson's profile, and she could feel Orson's arm on her shoulders and knees.

At this moment, Orson was still panting slightly because of the quick action just now, but he didn't ask Elsa about the situation at the first time, but looked at the direction of the avalanche with a focused face.

Feeling the close contact between the two, Elsa's face instantly turned red.

Olivia was watching next to her!

But Orson didn't care about these at the moment. He was more concerned about what was exposed on the mountain wall after the avalanche.

Elsa blushed and looked at Orson, then looked at Olivia, and found that Olivia didn't look in the direction of the two, but also looked at the mountain wall.

At this time, Elsa followed the two people's gaze.

The mountain wall that was just covered with snow now revealed its original appearance

Under the snow, there was a piece of ice.

Behind the ice was a huge cave.

Elsa suddenly recalled the story of Sherni.

The hero with three wings on his back buried the cave when the snow monster was resting. Since then, the snow monster could no longer invade Lapland.

The huge cave in front of them was almost the same as the one described in the story.

Orson was the first to react. He looked at Elsa in his arms and gently put her down. Then, as if to change the subject, he spoke first.

"It seems that we have turned a disaster into a blessing."

"Ah..." After Elsa was put down, she didn't know what to answer for a while, so she could only nod with a red face. "Yeah."

Olivia also noticed the two of them at this moment. She squinted her eyes. Although she was a little unhappy, what Orson did just now was not wrong, so she could only temporarily put her jealousy in her heart.

"What do you mean, do you want to go in and take a look?" Olivia asked.

"Okay." Orson nodded, and then came to the front of the cave.

At this moment, the cave is separated from the outside world by a layer of solid ice, but the solid ice is like a barrier, only one meter thick, and you can see that the interior of the cave is not completely frozen.

It is conceivable that this layer of ice is probably also man-made.

Orson used magic, and a ball of fire attached to the ice. In a few minutes, it melted a hole that could be passed by several people.

"Let's go, let's go in and take a look."

With that, Orson took the lead and walked in front.

The cave was bottomless. After walking dozens of meters inside, there was no light source. Orson had no choice but to use magic to light a torch and explore the inside of the cave.

The overall trend of the cave was downward, which Orson and others felt when they walked.

After walking a few minutes further inside, Orson's torch illuminated a large piece of ice.

"Strange, the temperature in the cave is obviously quite high, why is there ice here?"

Orson thought so and shone the torch on the ice.

Then, he saw a huge lower limb in the ice.

It's not over yet.

Orson released the lighting spell, completely illuminating this part of the entire cave, and then saw that in the cave dozens of meters high, a huge ice sculpture stood in it.

Frozen in the ice sculpture was a creature that Orson and others had never seen before.
