An eagle can be heard crying in the air.

Silverash stops, raises his head and sees a small black spot in the sky. Then the black spot grows rapidly, and he raises his hand upwards. After a while, a black eagle landed on his hand.

A sighing voice came from beside him "Tenzin is really amazing, Boss. No matter where you are, he can find you."

Silverash says "indeed", and then notices there something around his claw, A letter. He takes the letter off. Unfolded it.

After reading the text on the letter, his brows frown slightly. The person standing next to him noticed this and asks curiously "What's wrong, Boss. It is about the military?"

"No." Silverash rolls up the letter and says, "It's from Matterhorn."

"Mr. Matterhorn?" The young man standing beside him is a little surprised. "I know he is back, but why is he looking for you?"

Silverash did not hide it and says it directly: "Encia is going to enter the holy road."

"Enter the Holy Road?" The young man is very surprised, "At this time?"

"Yes, at this time." Silverash recalls Lin Ye who confronted him last night, and said softly, "This must be because of him"

The youth beside him anxiously says to him "This time is the worst time it could happen. The three-seat meeting is about to be held. You are a thorn in the eyes of the other two families! I dare to say that they will attack your sisters."

"I am aware." Silverash, with a cane in one hand another gently stroking Tenzin's feathers, sneers, "Either one of the families or both planned to come here. They called Encia back by using my name. They want to use her as a hostage. However, never underestimate me. I, Enciodas Silverash, will not bow down to anyone."

"Then maybe Matterhorn believes you can persuade Miss Encia to not go. And as long as you are with them no one would dare to attack them" The young man says.

Silverash did not say a word but looks at the sacred mountain of Kjerag.

Then the young man finally guesses what is bothering him "Is it because of the Saintess?"

Silverash did not give a clear answer. He just turns around and says, "Go back, the border guards will be handled later, Courier."

"Okay." The young man now named Courier follows Silverash. However, before he could take a step, he sees Silverash stop again. He can't help but wonder, "Boss?"

Silverash lowers his head and spreads open his hand. There is a small piece of ice in his palm. It is a snowflake.

He wanted to throw it away, but soon he feels that it was no an ordinary snowflake. So, he closes his hand and exerts a bit of force in his grip. It did not change. There was no sign of cracking at all.

He understands at once, and immediately turns his head and looked in the direction of the holy mountain. The holy mountain stands among the mountains, surrounded by a white mist giving an otherworldly feeling.

"No need to go back." He says to Courier, "Follow the original plan, go to the border guard station."

Courier suddenly realizes what he meant: "No need to go back? Why? Don't you need to care about the saintess and Miss Encia?"

"No need." He says softly, "That one will take care of them instead of me. He seems like someone reliable"

Lin Ye thought that travelling in the snow is a very romantic thing. Think about it, the white mountains and pure white snow, travellers wandering in such a world, leaving behind are a long list of footprints. This picture is simply beautiful.

However, there is always some gap between dreams and reality. The energy consumed by walking in the snow is definitely several times, or even dozens of times, the energy expended walking on flat ground.

At first, he felt that the sound of stepping on the snow was very beautiful and pleasant, but when he soon got tired of it. It felt like the sound was taunting him. After only walking for more than an hour in ten-centimetres of thick snow, Lin Ye felt his legs were sore as if he had been walking all day. In addition, he doesn't know if it is because of altitude sickness, he feels breathing is also a little difficult.

He was lucky because his training to learn the Wave Leaping Stike greatly improved his stamina. If it was him before that training, he is confident that he would drop from tiredness. A dead man on the floor.

However, he will not rest. That's because most people don't look much tired. Cliffheart and Lappland walked in the front happily, seemingly unable to exhaust their physical strength, while Matterhorn follows them, fearful that their lady would run away with the lunatic Lappland. Pramanix walks more slowly, not because of physical weakness, but because she stopped to pray and ring the bell from time to time.

Only Sussurro follows Lin Ye because he is still holding her hand in fear of her falling down and she really couldn't walk fast with how short her legs are. one step for them is three for her.

Lin Ye sees that she is really tired, more than him.

So, he asks her "Are you tired? Do you want to rest for a while?"

She tries to glare at him, but she is too tired to try.

"If you want, I can ask them to let you."

Sussurro finally found the strength to glare at him "You are so annoying."

However, she really couldn't walk anymore, and she was panting. If she didn't stop and rest for a while, she's afraid that something would really happen. Matterhorn also noticed this, so he stops Cliffheart and Lappland. He is glad that she agreed to rest and he was truly worried about her.

Lappland runs over and picks Sussurro up onto her back.

"W-Woah."

"Just leave it to me, I haven't reached the end, how can I stop!" Lappland says to Lin Ye, "Quack doctor, I am carrying this little child on my back, you can go faster."

He sighs helplessly. He was about to tell her to be careful while carrying Sussurro.

The corner of Lin Ye's mouth opened slightly, just as he was about to say something, Lappland runs away.

So, the only person who needed a rest had a piggyback ride. And Lin Ye looked at the vast snow-capped mountains, feeling a little bit of pain.

But at this moment, he heard a familiar crisp ringing, and his fatigue is wiped out in an instant. He turns his head and sees Pramanix standing behind him, holding the bell in her hand with a helpless smile.
