Type-Moon, joins the Lion King at the beginning

Chapter 461 Encounter
rustle.

There was no gorgeous sword energy, nor any earth-shaking roar. The only thing blooming on the snowfield was the quiet flower of killing.

The enchanting giant's blood turned into a puff of blood mist, which condensed and fell due to the low temperature when it fell into the air.

Accurate and fast.

The sword that was swung out could often kill with one strike, cutting off the enemy's head and taking their life. Several giants were wiped out in just a few breaths, without exception!

With a thump, the burly headless corpse fell to the ground, and the blood that kept gushing out from the cut formed a pool in front of everyone's eyes.

"Ritsuka, can you handle the consumption of mana?"

Li Ye, who tried to reduce his own magic power consumption as much as possible, asked casually: "It shouldn't be much this time."

In this battle, Li Ye's magic power expenditure was almost zero except for the use of the Death Perception Mystic Eyes, which was almost the same as the cost of maintaining his daily existence.

Li Ye achieved such success thanks to his ultimate skills and exquisite mastery of magic honed through countless battles over the years.

"absolutely okay!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "The battle ended so quickly that Mashu didn't even have time to show his skills!"

Because Liye acted too quickly, Mashu had just faced a giant when the battle ended quietly.

Li Ya's superb killing skills amazed Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had witnessed countless heroic spirits fighting.

"I am okay!"

Upon hearing this, Mashu immediately explained: "It would be the best if I could help Mr. Li Ye!"

"That's perfect. These Yotun species can be disassembled to produce a lot of materials."

Li Ye, who did not put away his sword, smiled and said, "Although the human body structure is different, it is not a big problem. I can handle it."

The materials that Da Vinci needed to create a "real person" - what are materials? The most valuable thing that can be dismembered from this kind of corpse is the material.

After Li Ye spent some time dismembering the Yotun species, separating the bones and flesh, and freezing the parts rich in mystery and magic, he stuffed them into Mashu's shield space.

Claws of Chaos, Elf Roots, Dragon's Reverse Scales, and Black Fat all fall into this category.

After collecting the spoils, Li Ye clapped his hands and said with a smile: "The materials should not be a problem, but this spiritual vein is difficult to get. We have to find it before we meet Sigurd here."

According to little Da Vinci, Sigurd had purposefully boarded the submarine shortly after entering the Lostbelt, and this was clearly not a matter of luck.

Therefore, we can infer that the other party has the ability to monitor the situation in the Lostbelt. Whether it is magic or something else, at least it is difficult to hide the whereabouts from the other party.

Time is running out and every second counts.

"Sigurd..."

Mashu frowned when he heard this and said, "Mr. Li Ye, can I talk about it?"

After hearing Liye mention Sigurd, the confusion that has been lingering in Mashu's heart will be released.

Before Liye was summoned, Mashu had fought Sigurd alone, which left her confused and uncomfortable.

"Oh?"

Seeing the confusion in Mashu's heart, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but ask curiously: "Mashu, do you think there is something wrong with Sigurd?"

"Heroic Spirit Sigurd, one of the strongest heroes in Northern Europe."

Mash said with a serious expression, “He reforged Gramer, the magic sword that was shattered by the great god’s spear Gungnir, his father Sigmund—he defeated the evil dragon phenomenon and gained the wisdom of the dragon, just as Mr. Holmes described.

Later he fell in love with the Valkyrie Brunhilde, but unfortunately died in the midst of love and hatred.

He shares the same origin as Mr. Siegfried, and is sometimes even called the hero of the origin itself.

But why is this happening? "

Mashu thought back to Siegfried whom she had met in the past. That great hero was very calm in both demeanor and behavior, and lived up to the title of a great hero.

but--

"I can't sense that kind of generosity from him, that masked heroic spirit—"

Mash hesitated and asked, "Is it really Sigurd?"

"There is indeed a big difference between him and Siegfried."

Fujimaru Ritsuka put his index finger on his chin and said thoughtfully, "That Sigurd looks cursed just by looking at him. He is very different from Mr. Siegfried."

Even Sigurd's dissipated magic power carries a terrifying curse. Ordinary people will die if they touch it, and even heroic spirits will be affected if they come into contact with it.

"That's a problem indeed. From the looks of it, he is indeed Sigurd."

Li Ye touched his chin and said, "But there doesn't seem to be any change inside, but it still feels weird, as if something is hidden inside."

There was indeed something suspicious about Sigurd, there was no doubt about that.

But even Li Ye couldn't give an answer. After all, the contact was too little. If there was a deeper contact, maybe he could see something.

The topic of Sigurd came to nothing, and the few of them had to continue on their journey to find the spiritual vein.

The journey is long, and even with skis to improve their leg strength, Li Ye, Fujimaru Ritsuka, and Mashu will still need a lot of time to cover the 150 kilometers.

During this period, when Fujimaru Ritsuka was resting due to fatigue, Li Ye was still searching for the spiritual vein, but the influence of the underground ice and snow magic was obviously beyond imagination, and it always interfered with the detection of the spiritual vein.

This made it impossible for Li Ye to find any clues about the spiritual veins. He could only watch as the materials in Mashu's shield space continued to increase until -

a few days later.

"There are many giants ahead, more in number than any group we have encountered before. There are a total of thirty of them, which can be called a tribe."

Li Ye, who was walking in front, sensed the fluctuation of magic power. A large number of Yotun species were active in the forest ahead. If they continued to move forward, a battle would inevitably break out.

"Is it because of avoiding the Flaming Mountain?"

Mashu couldn't help but ask, "Because of this, we might have entered a tribe of giants?"

The mountains covered with blue flames were definitely not good things, so Mashu and his companions naturally avoided the existence of those mountains in the process of advancing, which also made the route forward winding and uncertain.

"Since there are too many of them, let's avoid them."

Fujimaru Ritsuka said: "This kind of battle will make a lot of noise. If it happens in a group tribe, it will attract the attention of other giants."

"It's too late. Besides the giants, there are other life reactions, humans."

Li Ye's expression was indifferent, his eyes seemed to penetrate the endless ice forest, and he caught a glimpse of the petite girl, who was not very old and was wearing an extremely thick leather jacket.

Her long golden hair stood out in this snowy country, and her emerald eyes sparkled like gemstones.

A human female, not a magician.

Li Ye, who did not sense any threat from the girl, looked at the giant behind her. It was obvious that the girl had angered the giant and was being hunted.

"Is there anyone else?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was startled when he heard this, and quickly said, "Mashu, Liye, let's go."

This might be the way to understand the Lostbelt. Since the Master, Fujimaru Ritsuka, has spoken, Liye has no reason to refuse.

at the same time.

In the Ice Forest, there is a forest made up of countless ice-like coniferous trees. The girl is running desperately, and her panicked look also shows that she is at a loss as to what to do with the current situation.

"Indecent, discovered—"

The girl was panting, the tip of her white nose was red, and the blush on her cheeks was particularly obvious.

How long did you run?

The girl seemed to have forgotten the measure of time. She only knew that she had to keep running forward, only in this way would she not die.

"Why, why, why can't I make it to the end smoothly? I'm so stupid!"

The appearance of the giants was completely beyond the girl's expectations. According to her experience, such a thing would never happen, but she encountered giants that seemed to be migrating!
Faced with the invincible monster, the girl was completely powerless to resist and could only run desperately.

But how can it compare to that five-meter-tall giant?

The distance was shortening and the girl's retreat was disappearing.

The ever-shrinking distance also made the girl's mind close to collapse——

".………………Beglich, Beglich, Beglich."

The girl immediately began to pray, clasping her hands together with an extremely pious expression, and said, "God, God, God.

Please, please.

Please bless me so that even if I am crushed by a giant, I can reach everyone peacefully. "

The prayer was not answered by the gods. The only response to the girl was the young man's wanton laughter: "Mashu, I leave this guy to you."

Those were words she had never heard before, and the girl had no way of understanding their meaning, but she still subconsciously opened her eyes. She could only see the young man with the sword walking away and facing the giant's back.

hum.

Scarlet blood was blooming, and at the same time, the head of the giant species that made the girl shudder with fear also flew up.

The young man who rushed out of the ice forest was like a soundless shadow. He did not even leave any footprints wherever he stepped. This was the realm of a master who could walk on snow without leaving any traces.

As the young man crossed paths with the giant, blood-red sword lights appeared, bringing something called death.

It was a sight the girl had never seen before.

Such a quiet death, the sword light for just a moment was so dazzling, as if the world had slowed down.

Three minutes, just three minutes, and those dozens of giants turned from living beings into corpses.

At the moment of death, the body was dismembered into pieces of flesh and bones, and the blood was frozen, retaining the last bit of vitality.

The girl slumped on the ground looked at the scene blankly, seemingly unable to comprehend the current situation.

"Are you ok?"

The girl holding the giant shield reached out to her and asked, "The translation amulet given by Da Vinci himself should be effective. Hello?"

"No."

The girl said quickly, "No, no, no, this won't work. All children found by the Mountain Giant will be rescued! Once you see a child being attacked, you should run away immediately! But, but what are you doing?! Run away--"

"The giant died. What were they running away from?"

After successfully dismembering the giant's corpse, Li Ye flipped his wrist, and the dark aurora spread out like the surface of water, slicing off the rest of the corpse and turning it into his own magic power reserve.

In order to deal with the possible battle that may come next, Li Ye must accumulate magic power as much as possible.

Using atmospheric magic is too slow, and directly cutting away the earth may arouse the vigilance of the King of the Lostbelt, so the only option is to attack these corpses.

As a race living in the Age of Gods, the giants are naturally extremely mysterious and the magic power they contain is even more astonishing. The magic power they can provide to Li Ye is enormous.

Therefore, in the process of continuous fighting, Li Ye even accomplished the feat of not consuming Fujimaru Ritsuka's magic power.

But this does not mean that he can act as a masterless Servant without Fujimaru Ritsuka. It just does not consume magic power. He relies more on Fujimaru Ritsuka as proof of his presence in the world.

and--

"The mountain giant Beglisi, a being that has friendly relations with the Jotun."

Li Ye also naturally noticed the different guys among these giants, that is, the mountain giant Beglich,
They are another race of giants that live in Jotunheim together with the Frost Giants, and they also exist in some mountains and forests in the human world.

Their origins and birth times are also no longer traceable.

The conflict between the mountain giants and the gods was not as intense as that between the frost giants, and it is unclear whether they participated in Ragnarok. The only thing known is that they built the wall for Asgard.

Therefore, it is normal to encounter the joint actions of the Mountain Giants and the Jotun.

".……………ah?"

At this moment, the girl seemed to have just reacted and understood what the corpses lying on the ground meant. They meant the dead giants.

According to word of mouth in the past, the invincible giant species was killed.

"Amazing--"

The girl was stunned and said, "How amazing! How amazing! Is this the will of God?!"

The girl who had convinced herself had her eyes light up and immediately smiled: "Thank you, thank you, you saved me, you are awesome, awesome."

The girl who had escaped death suddenly relaxed her tense spirit. Her body, which had begun to feel tired due to the withdrawal of adrenaline, kept showing symptoms of muscle soreness, but the girl didn't care at all.

He just kept thanking Ritsuka Fujimaru in front of him and Liye and Mashu in the distance.

"what your name?"

With the help of little Da Vinci's translation amulet, even Fujimaru Ritsuka can communicate with the girl without any obstacles.

"Eh? Excuse me, I'm supposed to greet someone you meet for the first time. I've learned that, so I know."

The girl realized her mistake, cleared her throat, and then smiled and said, "My name is Gerda."

"It's Miss Gerda."

After collecting the materials with Li Ye, Mashu returned to Fujimaru Ritsuka and said with a smile: "This name is very Nordic and feminine, and it sounds very nice."

"Thank you!"

Gerda raised her lips, her two dimples very noticeable, and said, "I think it sounds nice too.

Oh, yeah, the big sister in black armor, the big sister with red hair, and the big brother with black hair, what are your names?"

After a brief introduction, Li Ye also learned that the girl named Gerda came from the so-called Village No. 23. The adults were busy preparing for tomorrow's activities, so the task of preparing food and treating the child with fever fell on Gerda.

This is why Gerda appears here alone.
