Chapter 34
"I exhaled white air from the corner of my mouth. You can't imagine how much despair I felt in the vast expanse of white on the snowy mountain.
If Chris wasn't by my side, I think I would've gone mad already. Perhaps I had gone mad a long time ago to follow Chris to distract the pursuers.
Chris was very calm. He told me that my breathing had become chaotic due to fear. Just like the rhythm of my life, I need to maintain a stable breathing in order to survive.
[Respiratory Art] is truly miraculous, it allowed me to calm down. Chris told me that he wasn't sure if he could survive this, so he asked me to prepare myself.
Prepare to die? "
[Journey to the Snowy Mountain] was a novel written by Thackery from his own point of view. At the time, when Thackery was still a wandering poet, he met the legendary ranger Chris by chance in the North. At that time, Chris had accepted a commission to escort the eldest son of a count back to his country to receive his title.
Perhaps because he was convinced by Chris's temperament, Thackery chose to follow him. On the way, in order to distract the pursuers, the two of them split up with the eldest son of the count and walked on a vast expanse of white snowy mountain.
It was also during that period of time that Chris told Thackery about his various experiences. After the two of them finally defeated the pursuers and completed the commission, Thackery wrote the story of Chris's experiences into a book, allowing the name of the legendary ranger to spread even further across the continent.
The last part of the book was also the most exciting part. During the battle on the snowy mountain, Chris's face was scratched, and Thackery also suffered quite a bit of injury. So not long after the book was published, Thackery passed away due to illness.
After that, Chris's legendary deeds were all fictions created by other people based on the words of other witnesses. Although it was more or less consistent with the original plot, there were quite a few untruths in it.
"Chris!" Chris murmured his own name with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes. Then, his gaze became resolute again as he looked at Tesa. "We've already wasted enough time. Please step aside, Miss Tesa. Although you're a lady, if you really try to stop me, I won't go easy on you."
Tesha smiled, her originally ordinary face seemed a bit more charming when she smiled: "I'm not Nozades, I should be the one to say that I won't go easy on you"
"I'll ask you one last time, Mr. Chris." Tesa pulled out a rapier from under her cloak, a large amount of black appeared on her hand, showing where the [Black Crow] germs had been implanted on her body: "You have the qualities that sir Negri needs, if you submit to sir Negri, not only will you be able to heal your internal injuries, you will also receive sir Negri's blessing"
Chris's expression didn't change as he swung his fist at the woman without hesitation.
…
"What a bunch of disgusting insects" Yadley pulled his hand back from the corpse. On his wrist, a small amount of black substance was slowly returning to his body. The corpse's expression was blank, as if he didn't know he was already dead.
This group of people had ambushed Isabella and Nala on their way home, wanting to kill them, but unfortunately, with the protection of the Crowmen, not only did they fail to accomplish their goal, they even lost their lives.
Isabella and Nala also seemed to be oblivious to the ambush that almost happened as they walked home with various expressions on their faces.
The [Black Crow] germs were a type of miraculous germs, strengthening the body's constitution was only its most basic ability. Before they were implanted, they didn't look any different, but after they were implanted, they would develop different abilities depending on how they were implanted and how they were nurtured.
For example, Nozades was able to develop the ability to record an opponent's attacks. Yadley was the first Crowman in the truest sense of the word, his [Black Crow] germs were the most developed out of all the Crowmen. Among all of Negri's subordinates, he was also one of the strongest.
"Sir Yadley" a man dressed like a merchant walked in front of Yadley. A man dressed like a merchant came in front of Yadley. His skin constantly twisted and turned black, and finally turned into a black sludge. The black liquid kept changing, and finally returned to an ordinary face without any obvious features.
"Is there any news, Garnan?" Garnan, "Yadley asked.
Garnan was also a member of the Crowmen. His choice was similar to Nozades in that he implanted the [Black Crow] germs into his skin, but unlike Nozades, he used it in battle. He allowed the [Black Crow] germs to completely consume his skin, giving him the ability to shapeshift.
Because of this, he would normally disguise himself as different people and travel to different areas to collect information.
"The latest news, Cardinal Augustin of the Church of Divine Grace has brought a pair of Knights of Divine Grace to a place not too far from Reya" Garnan's voice didn't have any distinguishing features, just like his appearance, completely unnoticeable.
"Reinforcements?" Yadley nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Also, there's another piece of uncertain news." Garnan hesitated for a moment before continuing: "I heard some news from a certain Royas merchant that the Kingdom of Royas might have sent someone to Reya"
"Is the Kingdom of Royas here to join in the fun?" Yadley frowned. Things were getting more and more complicated. "I already know what's going on. Continue gathering information. Be careful."
"Understood!" Garnan's skin twisted and turned black again, then he turned into a young boy. After changing his clothes, he turned into a newbie mercenary who had just left home.
"Lord Negri." Yadley muttered as he watched Garnan leave. He then turned to look at the direction of the forbidden area. More than one-third of his body had been replaced by the [Black Crow] germs, so he could sense the changes in Sir Negri through the germs.
"Yadley, is that you?" A tired voice was transmitted to Yadley through the [Black Crow] germs in his body. He hurriedly knelt down on one knee, lowered his head, and respectfully answered: "It is me, Lord Negri. What are your orders?"
"I need to hibernate for a while. During this time, Noah needs to stay by my side to protect me. During this time, I'll leave the [Order] of Reya to you, make sure no one disturbs me"
"On the other hand, Nozades has already been defeated by Chris, and Tesa seems to be about to lose as well. Later, I'll tell you how to control the Bizarre Scales, take them with you to stop Chris. It'll be best if you can kill him, but if you can't, don't force it"
"The most important thing right now is to pass my hibernation period smoothly"
