Ark, after I died, the operators started to love me.

A strange thought arose in her mind.

Could a normal Sami tribe send so many warriors on a long journey?

61. Ragnar Toyama

In addition to the team members, Horhaiya's temporary team also recruited more than a dozen survivors from the base camp. Everyone was equipped with professional equipment and set up monitoring points on the spot as the exit from the city opened.

Froststar and two others distributed talismans, which were then affixed to the chest and back and hidden inside the clothing.

When the collapsing body approaches, these disposable items immediately emit a large amount of heat for five minutes, ensuring that you won't be contaminated by evil spirits for at least five minutes.

When this amazing item was first brought out, caravan leaders in the base camp immediately offered to buy it. However, due to limited production, it could not be widely distributed, so they had to give up.

Mike didn't tell his teammates that each talisman required him to expend his power, and he had to conserve his strength to deal with more complex environments, which was why he couldn't distribute them to most people.

Holhaia glanced into the distance with her monoculars and spotted the approaching group. She turned to Andorn and said, "Mr. Andorn, stand at the very back of the group. If you sense anything amiss, immediately activate your domain."

Now all the team members know how strong Andorn is; with him around, their safety is guaranteed.

Andorn nodded: "No problem, Miss Horhaya too. Don't delay any longer, step back immediately."

After waiting a while, the group stopped halfway through their journey. The three men broke away from the group and continued forward until they reached the entrance of the base camp.

Ragna looked up at the newly established camp and marveled at how the Sami people had not been able to build such a structure before the arrival of the Colombians.

Whether the arrival of the Colombians was good or bad, no one could say for sure.

Judging from the current situation, things do not seem to be developing in a positive direction.

At the very least, the condition of the ice sheet worsened, or rather, the arrival of the Colombians accelerated the ecological collapse of the ice sheet.

Just as Ragna was sighing, a hesitant shout came from not far away.

"Ms. Yuanshan?"

distant mountains.

It's been a long time since anyone used that term.

Ragna looked in the direction of the sound and met the gaze of the feathered serpent. It was she who had just shouted.

Holhaa, a Colombian astronomer and historian, has his own unique understanding of the ancient history of this land.

When she worked at Rhodes Island, she was also a fortune-telling enthusiast, so Ragnar knew a bit about her.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Miss Horhaya. I really didn’t expect to run into you here.”

Ragna showed ample respect to her old friend, and her previous annoyance at the headquarters' refusal to open the gates lessened slightly.

Besides working for their respective countries, they also share a common identity: agents of Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals.

Holhaya exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't this a coincidence of fate?"

"Of course it counts."

Ragna looked at the people behind Horhaya. They were prepared. Hopefully, the investigation wouldn't take too long. After all, the temperature on the ice field had dropped to minus twenty degrees Celsius, and staying outdoors for a long time wasn't a pleasant experience.

"Don't worry, it won't last long, it's just a routine matter."

Looking at the travel-worn Ragna, Horhaiya thought to herself that they must have suffered a lot to come here, having received the decree of the Sami gods and enduring hardships along the way.

Ragna had no idea what Horhaya was thinking, and took out the application to enter the city from her briefcase.

There were more than two hundred people in total, from two different Sami tribes. No wonder, it would be difficult to gather so many people otherwise.

Quetzalcoatl nodded silently in his heart and casually said, "It's so good that you could come, Ragna. I'm sure the Doctor will be very happy to see you."

"I didn't know it was you..."

Ragna hurriedly responded, but her expression froze when she recalled the second half of Horhaya's words.

She suspected she had misheard, so she pretended not to have heard clearly and asked again, "Is the Doctor here too?"

"Yes, if it weren't for the Doctor, we probably wouldn't have been able to directly control the headquarters."

As she spoke, Feathered Serpent took out a detection device from her bag behind her, but the moment she pressed the switch, a beeping sound came from the device.

how come?

She looked up and saw Ragna's gaze, a look of pain in her eyes.

Immediately afterwards, the fortune teller flicked a tarot card that spun rapidly and flew toward the neck of the feathered serpent.

If you are a collapsed entity, already a puppet of evil, I will help you break free.

As the tarot card approached the feathered serpent's body, a sudden whirlwind arose, deflecting the card's trajectory and sending it plunging into the snow beside it.

Horhaya shouted, "Lagna, don't move! You're corrupted by evil spirits, but we can help you remove it!"

The former caster operator, Ragnar, retreated repeatedly with her followers, refusing to listen to Quetzalcoatl's explanation, her tone revealing immense pain.

"Holhaya, the doctor is dead. How can a dead person help you retake the base?"

This is undoubtedly a cognitive distortion, and those who come to support the headquarters may all be traps.

The feathered serpent was stunned, then suddenly remembered something: how could she have so easily said that the person was still alive?

Only then did she feel the talisman on her chest melting violently, emitting a lot of heat, which even caused her hair to become brittle and dry.

Oh no! Ragnar has brought reinforcements, but she's also brought collapses!

Andorn, who was behind Horhaya, noticed something amiss. He took out a scripture from his satchel, and the pages turned on their own. The ground beneath their feet emitted a faint glow.

"Sister Ragna!"

Typhon, who was in the crowd, rushed out, and the Sarkaz girl raised her giant bow, aiming it at the three who were retreating.

Upon seeing Typhon, Ragna froze. She knew the strength of the demon hunter and that once he fired, there was no way to dodge at such close range.

Have you also been corrupted by evil spirits?

In Ragna's eyes, the base camp had become a stronghold of demons, and everyone inside must be dead.

Typhon shouted, "Sister Ragna, if I were a collapsing entity, could you really escape?"

The arrow of light condensed on the bowstring, and the arrow, exuding a dark aura, could easily kill the collapsed entity, let alone the flesh and blood of humans.

Ragna closed her tired eyes.

I am sorry.

She opened her arms, and several tarot cards flew from her hands. Purple lightning, unleashed by Originium Arts, enveloped the area, covering Horhaya and the others.

"Lie down!"

Frostnova roared, conjuring large walls of ice to block Ragnar's attack.

In an instant, icy mist filled the air, and lightning snakes danced wildly.

62. Elki visits

Ragnarok's sudden attack caught more than a dozen staff members who were waiting in the camp passage off guard. Fortunately, Frostnova reacted quickly enough, and Andorn opened his Enlightenment in time, so no one was injured.

However, this temporarily eliminated the possibility of a conversation between the two parties.

Horhys raised her staff, and a gale swept up ice and snow, engulfing the direction Ragna had retreated, unleashing her Originium Arts almost without reservation.

Just as the battle was escalating, a roar of an engine suddenly came from behind Holhaya and the others, and a snowmobile sped towards them.

"who is it?!"

Before anyone could see clearly, the snowmobile had already bypassed them and rushed toward the three people who were about to come into contact with the warriors brought by Ragna.

The person gripping the steering wheel with both hands was none other than Mike.

To understand how Mike discovered the location and arrived in time, we need to go back an hour earlier.

……

After watching the feathered serpent leave, Mike began his new day's work.

Not long after, there was a knock on his office door.

At this time, the person knocking on the door is either a staff member from the base camp or a local seeking help.

"Please come in."

Mike said something without looking up, and as the door opened, the person who walked in didn't say a word and went straight to the desk.

Mike sensed hostility from the newcomers immediately.

He looked up and saw a mature woman whose height far exceeded that of any of the operators he had brought.

The woman's long black hair was neatly combed, and she wore a headdress different from the Sami custom. Her eyes were looking at him with a melancholy gaze.

"Hello?"

"Hello."

The opening remarks were so dry that Mike didn't know how to respond for a moment.

He had to gather his thoughts and asked again, "Madam, what can I do to help you?"

"You've done so much for me, thank you so much."

After hearing this, Mike didn't know what to say next.

The woman standing in front of him seemed to realize the awkwardness of the situation and gave a poignant smile.

“Mr. Mike, you have indeed helped me a lot. Just a few days ago, something happened here. A child received your help, and her fate, which should have ended up in the River Styx, was reversed.”

What happened a few days ago was nothing more than them taking control of their stronghold from the evil forces. If the lady was referring to that, Mike thought he could accept the thanks.

Out of politeness, he still asked, "There are many survivors at the base camp. I have saved many children. Madam, which of your children is it? Perhaps I remember him."

As for why this woman looked so worried, despite having such a beautiful face, Mike secretly wondered if it was related to her past experiences.

For example, she lost her husband and became a widow with no one to rely on, while raising a child who had not yet grown up.

Kal'tsit is above.

There couldn't be anything worse than this.

Mike suppressed his wild thoughts and tried to keep things as brief as possible, so as not to hurt the poor lady.
