Chapter 1005

This is a rolling hill. The snow for several days has wrapped the hill with a layer of plain silver.

Now it seems that there is a different style.

But Angel remembered that when he first arrived at the garrison, he once stood on the tower and looked at it. It was dark, desolate and dark.

This is the shadow hill.

Through the clues given by Bobota, angel came here.

Because there is a river in the shadow hill. If you are lucky, you will occasionally find a misty silver ring here. In addition, the shadow hill is near the fortress, which can be seen by the naked eye. It is a safe area. Therefore, from time to time, apprentices come here to explore opportunities in their spare time.

Just yesterday afternoon, Bobota and his two friends were walking around the shadow hill.

Then they saw Toby here.

"At first, I saw him chisel ice and fish on the river with his beak. Later, it seemed that there was no harvest, so he flew away. As for where to go, I didn't pay attention, because the snow was too heavy and it was dark. As soon as he integrated into the sky, he couldn't see anything."

That's what Bobota said.

Although others didn't really see it, dasky did see Toby fly to the sky, so it can be roughly determined that Toby still appeared in the shadow hill just yesterday afternoon.

Angel immediately found it.

When he came to the shadow hill, he saw all the ups and downs of snow and the continuous snow in the sky. It was not so easy to find Toby's trace here.

The first place he went was what Bobota called Toby's fishing river.

At the bottom of the snow hill, a fairly spacious river has been frozen at this time, and there are occasionally snow covered fish baskets on the bank. It can be seen that there are still a lot of people coming to this stream at ordinary times.

Bobota found that Toby's ice drilling place was a curved river under the ice cliff. On the other bank, there were two trees with branches intertwined like Acacia.

The feature is obvious. It didn't take angel long to confirm the position. However, one night later, even if a hole was drilled, the river had been covered with ice again.

However, according to the thickness of the ice, angel confirmed where Toby had drilled the hole before.

He tried to reopen the hole. The water below was still flowing. If you listen carefully, because the air poured in from the hole, some fish began to gather under the hole.

Angel was not in the mood to fish now. When he was about to leave, he found that there seemed to be a dark thing frozen in the ice.

He curiously chiseled open and took out the black thing like a small fan.

Licked, a smell of fishy and salty after smoking.

"The smell is... Dried fish smoked by maid mana?" Angel rubbed it, removed the ice sand from the surface, and found that it was actually a fish tail.

It's obviously Toby's stuff. It's estimated that Toby didn't forget to chew the dried fish when he dug a hole and fished here.

Now angel can be sure that Bobota and they didn't lie.

However, although the leftover fish tail was found, where would Toby go?

Angel thought about it, found a highland and released several exploration puppets. The metal ball with eyes flew out in all directions.

"If you can't even find Toby to explore the puppet..." angel whispered, then he had to ask Sanders for help.

Exploration puppets are all over the shadow hills. Coupled with its small size, many hidden puppets can be explored. It is much faster than angel to explore.

Not in the East, not in the West.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and angel's expression is becoming more and more solemn. Now he doubts that Toby is too like a fish in water in the breath of the abyss, playing crazy and running away from the safety zone?

As time went by, when Angel decided to return to the fortress and seek Sanders' help, he suddenly found an exploration puppet shining two shivering figures.

It was a man and a woman. They were running down the slope of a hill in apprenticeship robes.

Their faces were pale, their hair had frosted, and their lips were gradually turning blue. They looked frozen... However, angel remembered that all the apprentices who came to the front line had distributed wizard robes with constant temperature effect.

When he looked carefully, he found that there were obvious holes in the clothes of the two apprentices. Moreover, there are blood and scratches, which seem to have just experienced a battle.

Judging from their faces, they were also panicked. From time to time, they looked back and confirmed that there was no pursuit behind them, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.

A doubt flashed through angel's eyes: not to mention what happened to them, so that they were so frightened. What he cares about most is how these two people come out?

The puppets had flown all over the shadow Hill before. They didn't find them at all. They seemed to emerge out of thin air.

Is there any hidden passage here?

Angel thought for a moment. There was a faint glow on his boots, and the next second he appeared in front of the two people who were still in shock on his face.

Angel's appearance immediately attracted the vigilance of male apprentices and stood in front of female apprentices.

From the action of his escort, angel thought, these two people are estimated to be lovers?

Angel took off his hood and showed his face: "I just came from the fortress and found you."

Angel's appearance was still young, and the gentle smile on the corners of his mouth made them relax their guard a little.

Seeing that they were lax, angel said again, "it seems that you need some help?"

Angel took a fiery red ball from his arms - the broken Firestone, which had received a lot from the firebone witch in the battle of Ember earth rock. It's not very useful, but it's very convenient for heating.

Angel put the broken Firestone in the palm of his hand: "I can give you this, but I need you to answer me a few questions."

They looked at each other with a twinkle of joy in their eyes.

Both of them are intermediate apprentices. After the previous escape, not only the wizard's robe is broken, but also the magic source in their body is empty. They can't even summon the fire element to keep warm.

Although it is not far from the fortress, they are exhausted. Coupled with the wind and snow, maybe they will freeze to death in the shadow Hill instead of dying in the hands of those flying fish monsters.

Unexpectedly, when they were in despair, they met angel.

They dare to wander in the abyss and naturally know the "broken stone of fire". Although this is useless in angel's eyes, for them, it is at least the material of more than 100 magic crystals!

Now, just answer a few questions and you can get this item that can keep warm and sell at a good price. Why don't they agree.

They nodded without hesitation.

……

After a while, angel's eyes lit up. He not only got the information he wanted, but also might get Toby's information, so he threw the broken Firestone in his hand without hesitation.

The beautiful female apprentice stretched out her hand to take it, but as soon as she stretched out her hand, she stumbled for some reason, and the fiery red ball fell into the male apprentice's hand.

After the male apprentice got it, he looked at the female apprentice with worry: "all right, be careful, there may be gravel in the snow."

As he spoke, he picked up the female apprentice and said, "put the fire spreading stone here first. I'm angry. Just lean against me."

What else did the female apprentice want to say, but the male apprentice interrupted hard, and then bowed to angel, "thank you for your kindness. We'll go back to the fortress first."

After that, he took the scarlet faced female apprentice and walked in the direction of the fortress.

Angel looked back, squinted, looked at the two figures gradually disappearing in the wind and snow, and tutted twice in his mouth.

The reason why the female apprentice stumbled before was clearly perceived by angel. It was the male apprentice who made the ghost. He not only grabbed the broken stone of spreading fire, but also took the female apprentice, but didn't eat at all.

It seems that the male apprentice whispered to the female apprentice in the wind: "this thing is very expensive. When I go back, I'll sell it, and then magic crystal will share half of you..."

Will the male apprentice really distribute the magic crystal sold?

Angel didn't know the answer, but from the male apprentice's glowing eyes when he saw the Firestone, it was estimated that... It was very difficult.

Before, the male apprentice protected the female apprentice, which seemed very sincere. Unexpectedly, he defected so quickly.

Angel shook his head and stopped thinking about other people's affairs. Instead, his eyes twinkled and walked towards the top of the hill.

Just now, from them, angel learned some secrets about the shadow hill.

Speaking of it, it is not a true secret, but few people know it and the scope of dissemination is limited.

It is said that on the other side of the hill, there is a secret path hidden in the hole of a dead tree. That secret path leads to a cave under the hill. The cave is called Youying. At the same time, it is also the source of the hill of Youying.

It is said that every once in a while, strange white shadows will appear in the shadow hill, and babies will scream like ghosts.

There is a lot of rumors among apprentices, but in fact, these white shadows are white smoke evaporated from the geothermal spring in the shadow cave, and the baby screams are some long bearded fish that swim regularly from the underground river in the cave.

Although the shadow cave is hidden, there are still some people who know it. However, the underground river in the cave produces more misty rapids and silver rings. For personal interests, many people don't tell others even if they know it here.

Previously, the couple apprentice went to the shadow cave to look for the misty silver ring.

When they went to the shadow cave this time, they were looking along the underground river, but they encountered some changes on the way. The black flying fish monster swimming from nowhere suddenly attacked them like crazy.

These flying fish monsters are at most the level of junior apprentices, but they can't stand a large number, and the wizard system recovers very slowly here, so they finally lost the enemy and ran away.

These are the experiences of the couple's apprenticeship. There is nothing surprising.

However, angel got a clue from them, which probably pointed to Toby.

Although they didn't see Toby in the shadow cave, the female apprentice was very sensitive to sound. She said she seemed to hear birds singing in the depths of the cave during her escape.

Angel imitated Toby's voice with sound illusion. After hearing this, the female apprentice was very determined.

"That's the sound!"
