Shameless Warlock

It has to be said that this conjecture is very bold.

If the establishment of the Lanyi Cult was not inspired by the goddess, it would mean a very dire consequence: the Ice and Snow Goddess has lost control over the Mortal Church. This is unbearable for any righteous god.

But judging from the speed at which the Ice and Snow Goddess avatar descended during the Wildfire City incident, all of this seems unlikely.

All in all, all the clues related to Lan Yijiao seem a bit weird and awkward.

This faction should not have appeared, but it just appeared so abruptly.

"Is it related to the Frostwinter Treasure?"

Xu Nan speculated, and quickly shook his head again.

It shouldn't matter too much, it's just a treasure, no matter what's in it, the goddess can just send someone in to get it, there's no need to set up a Blue Clothes Sect.

If there is a connection between the two, then the Frostwinter Treasure comes from the Frost Giants, and the core of the Lanyi Cult happens to be the descendants of the Kutlin Frost Giants.

It's a pity that there is too little information about the Ice and Snow Goddess. Xu Nan searched the core database of Lost Paradise, but couldn't find much gossip. The relationship between this god and the mainstream gods is relatively cold, probably because of the nature of the law, she hides in her eternal fairy palace all day long, except for a very small number of gods, most of the gods visit, she is behind closed doors missing.

Because there is no gossip, the Ron warlocks are naturally much less interested in her.

"Maybe Quelrath knows something inside..."

After closing the documents at hand, Xu Nan settled down.

When the old man came to them for help, he obviously didn't tell everything he knew. At least about Lan Yijiao, what he said was very vague, and his ambiguous attitude was suspicious.

When he left Fortress of the Watcher, he also looked anxious, as if he was afraid of something.

Xu Nan realized that when Geralt was captured before, Quellas was just anxious, far from being scared, which meant that although the green light was powerful, it couldn't make Quellas feel afraid.

Who could he be afraid of?

Xu Nan inadvertently opened the superspiritual vision, and easily captured Quellas in the first carriage in the convoy.

Another round of powerful halo lit up on his body, enough to block his spiritual sense.

But this aura is different from when Xu Nan first met him.

"Has he finally found out?"

"Is it the goddess' wrath that he is afraid of?"

Xu Nan thought quietly.

Just at this moment, a familiar figure passed by the carriage. He closed his superspiritual vision, opened the window, and asked in a low voice:

"How long is the trip?"

It stands to reason that the distance between Xueyuan City and Watcher Fortress is not too far, but it is difficult to walk in heavy snow, so it seems very slow.

Gray shook the snow on his body, calculated for a while, and said vaguely:

"It will take about half a day to reach the supply village in the middle, and it may take tomorrow morning. After all, we will camp in two hours at most. And it will take at least three days to reach Xueyuan City."

"The road conditions here are very bad. I just chased away a few hungry wolves, but they won't let it go. Maybe there will be a pack of wolves attacking tonight..."

"I just heard from the people in the caravan that the valley to the south enters the plain and will be attacked by orcs from the Frostwinter clan..."

Gray's intelligence was always punctual and detailed.

Xu Nan nodded.

Haven't the orcs of the Frostwinter clan been wiped out by themselves? At that time, he realized that there was another evil force behind the orc manipulating it, but he didn't participate in it later.

Those orcs had lost their minds when they attacked the snowy mountain pass, but now they went to the north of Xueyuan City to make trouble?

The land of Bingfengling is really chaotic. It is not easy for Evelyn to manage the three fortresses in an orderly manner. I don’t know how many pairs of eyes are staring at this place in the entire Northern Continent...

His thoughts stopped for a while, he looked at the carriage in front of him, and pondered:

"I heard that the base camp of the Blue Clothes Sect is in Xueyuan City? Are the Blue Clothes Sect members overwhelmed there?"

Gray nodded: "I have asked several farmers and businessmen, and they all said so."

Xu Nan asked: "Are you sure you can find their leader?"

A rare look of caution appeared on Gray's face:

"It's hard to say, this matter is more complicated, and it involves the evolution of the religion. Usually, I will not intervene."

"Every division in the church is often a high-level struggle, and even involves angels and lower gods. Outsiders like us get involved, and there are often deaths and no lives."

"If possible, I don't really want to continue to investigate these bad things taught by Lanyi."

This answer was somewhat beyond Xu Nan's expectations.

It's normal to think about it carefully. After all, Gray is a mercenary who likes to make money, but doesn't like to cause trouble.

Internal struggles within religions are ten thousand times more complicated than ordinary people imagine.

The Ice and Snow Goddess Church is also a big church, and it is certain that there will be a few legends in the church, even if there are angels descending, it is not uncommon. The Blue Clothes Sect is an internal heresy that can suddenly emerge, and there may be terrorist forces behind it.

Now, since Geralt has been assured that nothing happened, Gray doesn't want to get too involved.

In fact, he even declined Xu Nan's invitation to explore Frostwinter's treasure together.

It's not that he's not greedy for money, but that he just ran away as soon as he heard the affixes of Frost Giant's Tomb and Arcane Empire Research Institute.

According to him, treasure hunting is not his specialty. He is only good at skilled business such as fighting and searching for intelligence. The biggest taboo in the mercenary industry is to solicit work across banks.

He was actually very tempted by Frostwinter Treasure, but after thinking about it carefully, he gave up.

Xu Nan was a little regretful, without a powerful thug, and the masters sent by Evelyn didn't know how to get along well. The exploration of Frostwinter's treasure this time did bring great risks.

If Paradise Lost hadn't given the task, Xu Nan would have thought about it for a long time.

"If you encounter any trouble, just call one of the three legends."

This is Xu Nan's last hole card.

Almus owed him a favor; The Lion King owed him a lot of favors; Romans didn't owe him anything, but after all, he was his teacher, so it was impossible to be there on call, but it should be possible to lend a helping hand in times of crisis.

As for Offie, it would be impossible to watch him die.

So Xu Nan is still very confident in her own safety.

The only pity is that Paradise Lost is still in seclusion and has not been officially born. It is not good for these bigwigs to appear directly in the main material world. Like the last time they appeared in Wildfire City, they have hidden many risks and undercurrents .

If it wasn't for that lady, even the three legends should be careful.

Therefore, although Paradise Lost was very eager to compete for the treasure of Frostwinter, it was unable to send more powerful people to assist Xu Nan.

This is also a kind of helplessness.

When Offee and Xu Nan were discussing the construction of the unknown city, Xu Nan knew about it.

In Paradise Lost at this stage, even if there are countless super alchemists, they cannot enter the main material world, especially the three legends. And once they reappear, it sends a message to the entire multiverse.

Paradise Lost is reborn and is about to enter the main material world.

This signal will attract countless enemies.

At that time, it must be a bloodbath.

But now, they are still in the stage of silently accumulating strength.

That's what Offie said. Although Xu Nan doesn't quite understand the ultimate goal of Lost Paradise, nor what power they are continuing, but at least he can figure out his situation.

"Letting the legend play is the last hole card."

"But since it is a hole card, it cannot be used as a conventional method."

"I should still improve my strength more, for example..."

"Go buy another dozen high-explosive clay bombs!"

Opening the Lost Paradise trading system, constant gold coins flowed away and were transformed into powerful alchemy items.

Xu Nan's Dimensional Pocket has turned into an arsenal.

After a long time, the money bag bottomed out, and he finally felt a sense of security.

...

After more than an hour, as Gray said, the caravan found a shelter to camp.

In this season, the nights are long and the days are short, so there is not much time for the caravan to go.

That night, wolves howled from time to time in the surrounding snow, attracting a large number of hungry wolves, trying to attack at night.

Many merchants were panicking, and those who followed the caravan alone packed up their bags and were ready to escape at any time.

But not long after, the wild wolves suddenly dispersed.

They left without warning, and when people reacted, there were only footprints left on the ground.

Shouting heroes' blessings, the surviving caravan members murmured Atsum's name.

Xu Nan is not surprised.

This was obviously made by Quellas. As a quasi-legendary magician, dispelling beasts is his specialty. Even the most hungry wolves, as long as they are not bloodthirsty or demonized, they can basically be solved by super dispelling. .

After all, the magical skills of magicians are very valuable things.

That night, Geralt woke up, but he only woke up for a short while, and when Xu Nan went to visit, he fell asleep again.

He checked and found that the middle-aged pastor was fine.

The black cat has been guarding him, and he seems to be in good condition.

"There are traces of the sleep technique...is it a similar divine technique?"

Xu Nan didn't look at Quellas next to him, but said goodbye calmly.

It was reasonable for Quellas not to want Geralt to wake up, so he could simply sleep all the way there, and make proper arrangements when he arrived in Snowfield City. He probably doesn't know how to face this apprentice. Some secrets, once spoken out, will have a subtle change in their attitude towards the person.

At this critical moment, it's normal that he doesn't want to cause extra complications.

The next morning, the caravan continued to set off.

It didn't take long for them to arrive at the supply village between Xueyuan City and Watcher Fortress, which was a fairly prosperous triangle intersection. Going south is Xueyuan City, and going east is Mad Sea.

They carried out simple supplies in this village.

While Xu Nan was wandering around, he accidentally met a strange group of people.
