Vol 2 Chapter 1004: Shadow Hill

Chapter 1004 Shadow of the Mound
This is a rolling hill, a few days of heavy snow, wrapped in a layer of plain silver.
It seems that today, there is no style.
But Anger remembers that when he first came to watch the fortress, he once stood on the tower and looked at it, black and lacquered, ridiculous and bleak.
Here is the shadow hill.
Through the clues given by Popota, Angel came here.
Because there is a river in the shadow of the shadow, if you are lucky, you will occasionally find a lost silver ring here. In addition, the shadow hill is near the fortress and can be seen by the naked eye. It is a safe area. Therefore, from time to time, there are apprentices who are free to come here to explore opportunities.
Just yesterday afternoon, Popota and his two friends wandered around the shadow hill.
Then they saw Toby here.
"In the beginning, I saw it fishing on the river with a bird slash and ice. Later, it seemed that there was nothing to gain. It flew away. As for where to go, I didn't pay attention because the snow is too big, it is dark, it Once you get into the sky, you can't see anything."
This is the story of Popota.
Although others did not see it, but Daschi did see Toby fly to the sky, so it can be roughly judged. Just yesterday afternoon, Toby also appeared in the shadow hill.
Anger immediately found it.
After he came to the shadow hill, he looked at all the snow and the sky, and the sky was snowing again. It was not so easy to find the trace of Toby here.
The first place he went was what Popota said, the river where Toby fished.
At the bottom of the snowy hills, a fairly spacious river has been iced at this time, and there are occasional fish-covered rafts on the shore. It is obvious that there are still many people coming from this creek.
Popota found that Toby’s ice was a curved river under the ice cliff, and there were two branches on the other side, such as acacia.
The feature is obvious, and it took Angels not long to confirm the position. However, after a night, even if there is a hole, the river has already re-established a layer of ice.
However, according to the thickness of the ice layer, Anger confirmed the place where Toby had previously drilled holes.
He tried to reopen the hole and the water below it was still flowing. If it was listened carefully, as the air was poured from the hole, some fish began to gather under the hole.
Anger now has no fishing thoughts. When he is about to leave, he finds that there is a black thing in the ice.
He curiously cut open and took out the black thing like a small fan.
After a smashing, a smoked and salty taste.
"This taste is... the little fish dried by the maid maid's wife?" Angela stunned and removed the surface of the ice sand and found it was a fish tail.
This is obviously Toby's. It is estimated that when Toby is drilling holes here, he will not forget the small fish.
What Anger can say for sure now is that Popota did not lie.
However, although I found the leftover fishtail, where will Toby go?
Anger thought about it, found a high ground, and released a few explorations. The metal ball with its eyes flew out.
"If you can't find Toby even if you can't find it..." Angel whispered, and he could only ask Sanders for help.
The exploration of the ridge is all over the shadow hill, and its small size, many hidden can be explored, compared to the Anger to explore, the speed is much faster.
There is no east, no west.
The snow is getting bigger and bigger, and Angel's expression is more and more serious. He is a bit skeptical now. Toby will not be too much in the abyss, playing crazy, running away from the safe area?
A little bit of time passed, and when Anger made up his mind to return to the fortress and sought Sanders’ help, he suddenly found a detective stunned to two stunned figures.
It was a man and a woman. They were wearing apprentice robes and were running down from the of a hill.
Their faces were pale, their hair was frosted, their lips were blue, and they looked like they were frozen... However, Angel remembered all the apprentices who came to the front line, and Frosty had distributed a constant-temperature wizard's gown.
He looked at it carefully and found that the robes on the apprentices had obvious holes. Moreover, there are bloodstains and scratches that seem to have gone through a battle.
Judging from their facial expressions, they were also panicked, and they turned back from time to time to confirm that there was no pursuit behind them, and they were relieved.
Anger’s eyes flashed doubts: not to mention what they had encountered, so that they were so scared. What most worried him was, how did these two people come out?
Before the exploration, the cockroaches flew all over the shadowy hills. They did not find these two people at all. They just came out of nowhere.
Can it be said that there are hidden channels here?
Anger thought for a moment, the boots flashed with faint brilliance, and the next second appeared in front of the two faces with some unsettled faces.
The emergence of Anger immediately attracted the vigilance of male apprentices and blocked them in front of female apprentices.
Judging from the movements of his guards, Anger is thinking, these two are estimated to be lovers?
Anger took off his hood and revealed his face: "I just came over from the fortress and found you."
Angel's appearance is also a little youthful, with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, let them relax a little more alert.
Seeing that they are lax, Angel said again: "Look, you seem to need some help?"
Anger took out a fiery red bead from his arms - the broken stone of the fire, which was previously obtained from the fire of the bones in the battle of the giant rock. Its role is not great, but it is very convenient for heating.
Anger put the broken stone of fire in the palm of his hand: "I can give you this, but I need you to answer a few questions."
The two of them glanced at each other and their eyes flashed a glimmer of color.
Both of them are intermediate apprentices. After the previous escape, not only the wizard's robe is broken, but the body's magic source is also empty, and there is no way to summon the fire element to warm.
Although they are not far from the fortress, they are exhausted, plus the wind and snow, perhaps they are not dead in the hands of the flying fish, but will freeze to the shadow hill.
Unexpectedly, when they were desperate, they met Angel.
They dare to come to the abyss and naturally understand the "broken stone of fire." Don't look at this in Angel's eyes, it's useless, but for them, this is at least a hundred magic crystal materials!
Now, just answer a few questions, you can get this item that can keep warm and sell good prices, how can they not agree.
They nodded without hesitation.
......
After a long while, Angel's eyes lit up. Not only did he get the information he wanted, he even had the news of Toby, so he did not hesitate to throw the broken stone in his hand.
Such a delicate female apprentice reached out and took it, but the hand just came out, somehow, stunned, and the red ball fell into the hands of the male apprentice.
After the male apprentice got the hand, he immediately looked at the female apprentice with concern: "It's okay, be careful, there may be gravel in the snow."
While talking, while raising the female apprentice, at the same time, I read in my mouth: "The stone of the fire is first placed on me, I am very angry, you can rely on me."
The female apprentice still wants to say something, but the male apprentice is a tough interrupt, and then he squats at Angelha. "Thank you for the kindness of the grown-up, we will go back to the fortress first."
After all, he took a female apprentice with a blushing face and walked in the direction of the fortress.
Angel turned back and squinted, looking at the two figures who gradually disappeared in the snow, and snorted in the mouth.
The reason why the female apprentice used to be embarrassed, Angel, is very clear, it is the male apprentice who made the ghost. Not only did he grab the broken stone of the fire, but he also took advantage of the female apprentice, but he did not eat it at all.
There seems to be a whisper of the male apprentice’s whispering to the female apprentice in the wind:
This thing is very expensive. When I go back, I sell it, and then the magic crystal divides you half...

Will the male apprentice really split the sold magic crystal?
Anger didn't know the answer. However, from the male apprentices, the glowing eyes after seeing the stone of the fire, it is estimated that it is very difficult.
Before, the male apprentices seemed to be very sincere to protect the female apprentices. However, they did not expect that the apostasy was so fast.
Anger shook his head, no longer thinking about other people's things, but his eyes flashed brightly toward the top of the hill.
Just now, from their mouth, Angel learned the secrets of some of the shadow hills.
To put it bluntly, it is not a secret of true knowledge, but only a few people know about it, and the scope of communication is limited.
It is said that on the other side of the hill, there is a secret passage hidden in the tree hole of a dead wood. The secret road leads to a cave in the underground of the hill. The name of the cave is called the shadow, and it is also the source of the shadow hill.
It is said that every once in a while, there will be strange white shadows in the shadow hill, and the baby will scream like a ghost.
The apprenticeship is full of enthusiasm, but in fact, these white shadows are the white smoke evaporating from the geothermal springs in the shadow caves, and the baby screams are some kind of long from the caves that regularly swim from the underground rivers. Fish.
Although the shadow cave is hidden, there are still some people who know it. However, the underground rivers in the caves have more and more silver rings. For the sake of personal interests, many people even know that they are not here.
The former couple apprentices went to the Shadow Cave to find the lost silver ring.
When they went to the Shadow Cave, they were searching along the underground river, but they encountered some accidents halfway. I didn’t know where to swim from the ink-colored fish monsters. They suddenly attacked them like crazy.
These flying fish monsters are mostly junior apprentices, but they can't stand the number, and the wizard's system is slow to recover here, so they end up losing, and then escape and escape.
These are the experiences of the couple apprentices, there is nothing surprising.
However, Anger got a clue from their mouth, this clue is likely to point to Toby.
Although they did not see Toby in the Shadow Cave, the female apprentice was extremely sensitive to the sound. She said that she seemed to hear the sound of birds in the depths of the cave during the escape.
Angel used the sound of magic to imitate Toby's voice. After the female apprentice listened, he was very determined.
"This is the scream!"
