There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game-Chapter 820 - 691: Icy Land

Chapter 820 -691: Icy Land

Zuo Fang was momentarily at a loss for words: “No, Your Holiness the Pope, you think that one outside isn’t enough?”

Zuo Fang certainly also thought about using the other party.

But his playful spirit wasn’t that strong, and after confirming that they were mutual enemies, he preferred to quickly resolve the chaos without leaving any potential issues behind.

He was already dealing with one mixed-blood Elf.

And now this guy wants to bring another Elf into the team?

You think we’re collecting Elf figurines?

Xu Shuo seriously said, “I didn’t think before coming here that there would only be one Elf.”

Zuo Fang frowned: “But our Church of Light and the Dawn Belief are absolutely opposed, even if you use the Power of Faith to tempt them, they might not believe you. How else will you convince them? Keeping them in the team might turn into a problem later.”

Who fills their own team with people from the enemy faction during a faction mission?

Isn’t that just asking to be stabbed in the back?

One is already enough.

If another one joins now.

Then their team will have two and a half dangerous figures—the dragon counts as half.

“There might not be any troubles later.” Xu Shuo still insisted on this idea.

“What do you think?”

Knowing how difficult it was to persuade this person, Zuo Fang then turned his gaze to the Duke of Silver and hinted at him with his eyes.

If both of them disagree.

Then probably this guy alone would hardly be able to achieve his goal.

However…

The Duke of Silver also seemed thoughtful: “There’s only one true Ice and Snow Elf here, and what they really care about is just that bit of bloodline heritage, we can certainly make use of this.”

Zuo Fang was speechless: “…”

These two really like walking on the edge of a cliff.

He sighed helplessly: “Then what are you guys holding onto?”

Xu Shuo’s face showed a faint smile, he simply stepped on the ground they were standing on and said, “This.”

Zuo Fang looked down.

This icy land should be very solid; even the ice blocks that fell from the mountain just now didn’t leave any marks on this ice surface.

The ice was clear and smooth, so standing on it, they could even see through the ground, glimpsing the endless icy tundra and blizzard below.

Also, because the color of the tundra was somewhat monotonous, looking out at the vast white expanse didn’t feel scary at all despite the Floating Island being very high above the ground.

Of course, this was because they had no idea what was below.

In Xu Shuo’s eyes, the Floating Island was an isolated island suspended over the Abyss.

With the bottomless dark Abyss looming below, the transparent icy land couldn’t provide any sense of security, only adding to their tension and fear.

He didn’t think.

That those Ice and Snow Elves didn’t know what was below.

“So what about this?”

Zuo Fang didn’t know.

Xu Shuo looked at him: “The place you wouldn’t even dare to set foot, do you think those Ice and Snow Elves don’t know the dangers below it?”

Zuo Fang firmly argued back: “I don’t like this blizzard, but it doesn’t mean those Elves don’t like it either!”

The Duke of Silver interrupted their clashing, asking, “Do you want to directly destroy this island?”

Xu Shuo was non-committal but his expression was resolute.

“Shit!”

Zuo Fang was shocked: “I only thought about killing them to prevent future troubles, but you’re actually thinking about making others ruin their homes and still continue to work for you! This is heartbreakingly cruel!”

Xu Shuo glanced at him lightly: “They came to us on their own.”

Zuo Fang stepped back from him, maintaining a shocked expression.

This person is really too ruthless!

The Ice and Snow Elves want to preserve their last bloodline, so first destroy their sacred place, then destroy their Sacred Tree, leaving a single lonely Elf with nowhere to go, ultimately forcing them to depend on the Church of Light willing to give them a bit of alms.

Where is there even a need for the Elves’ trust anymore?

This is simply forcing them into making a decision!

Zuo Fang spoke with a complex expression, “But isn’t there another Elf on the human continent? By doing this, are you sure she won’t deeply detest us and join the royal family to oppose us?”

Xu Shuo smiled, “We will talk about that after we leave the Far North Mountain Range. Anyway, we are just letting her help us deal with the Magical Beasts outside for now.”

If possible, of course.

It would be best if she could control the Magical Beasts to help us fight the Imperial Army.

After plotting, everyone turned to look at the uneasy Ice and Snow Elf not far away, all with expressionless faces.

This made the Ice and Snow Elf even more anxious.

“I can agree to let her go, but we can’t just leave like this, I need to see the Sacred Tree of the Elves,” said Xu Shuo lightly.

“What do you want to do?” The Ice and Snow Elf looked at him nervously.

“Don’t worry, I won’t do anything; I just need to make sure that the Elf Clan isn’t lying,” Xu Shuo smiled.

“Okay, I’ll take you there.”

This time, the Ice and Snow Elf agreed without much hesitation.

After all, even if she disagreed, she probably couldn’t stop these people’s footsteps. It might be better to lead the way herself and keep an eye on their actions.

She hoped that her clansmen were ready by now.

This time, the Ice and Snow Elf was leading the way.

Her hands were tied with a rope, and under her long white dress, her bare feet walked on the icy ground, her body becoming crystal clear and translucent just like the clear ice surface.

The three men took turns to watch her, so now the rope was handed to Zuo Fang, who followed beside the Elf.

The Duke of Silver walked behind.

He glanced at the bare feet under the Elf’s dress from time to time and then at the semi-transparent ground, finally turning his head to look at Xu Shuo beside him, signaling with his eyes.

Xu Shuo also looked at him and slightly tilted his head.

The two men played a silent game of charades behind, and the Ice and Snow Elf ahead could not achieve her surveillance goal, only enduring and slowly leading the way.

At this moment, Xu Shuo raised his hand and gently drew an array.

A faint white light traced at his fingertips, the magic he used was not the Power of Light, but the ice magic learned from the Magic Chronicle.

At that moment, the Ice and Snow Elf ahead suddenly paused.

She must have sensed something, quickly turning her head, her cold white pupils slightly narrowed.

However, she saw the gust of wind suddenly stirred by the Duke of Silver, the snowflakes whistling through the air, rushing towards her face, and also engulfed the four of them against the wind.

“Your speed is too slow, do not try to delay,”

came the Duke of Silver’s deep and indifferent voice. The Ice and Snow Elf was somewhat frightened but did not resist.

Zuo Fang watched him strangely.

And then looked at Xu Shuo, whose expression had not changed.

Odd, why does it feel like these two have been secretly up to something without him?

The group, originally traveling slowly, suddenly increased their speed dramatically, with the Ice and Snow Elf leading the way and the Duke of Silver maintaining a steady pace to fly forward.

Xu Shuo did not need to walk by himself either; thus, he used the cover of the windy snow to speed up drawing the array.

“We are almost there, stop before the lake,”

the nervous voice of the Ice and Snow Elf came.

Hearing this, Xu Shuo squinted and looked ahead, seeing a patch of deep gray among the cold white expanse.

Confirming they were about to arrive, he hooked his finger to finish the last stroke of the Magic Array and slowly pressed it onto the ice ground below, the white light trace flashing past before hiding again.

The Ice and Snow Elf ahead suddenly furrowed her brow, feeling somewhat uneasy as she tilted her head to scan her surroundings.

But she could not detect anything amiss.

Because the atmosphere was filled with the magical Qi of wind and snow, and the gray-haired man’s magical Qi was very similar to theirs of the Ice and Snow Elves, leading to her only perceiving the powers released by him.

The man was a Mixed-blood Elf.

The Ice and Snow Elf glanced again at the indifferent Duke of Silver and discarded her momentarily unnerving feelings.

As they approached the lake, the Duke of Silver also reeled in the arrogant aura he had been emitting.

Truth be told, when he used Magic, he wouldn’t emit any Elf Qi, as his bloodline had been sealed by the Church of Light.

Therefore, unless he deliberately pulled and released it,

it would be silent and traceless.
