But in this situation, Fu Yuan vaguely heard... the voice of a human woman, and also the low growl of wolves.
"Is someone nearby, and they've run into snow wolves?" Fu Yuan said in surprise, raising his head.
Without overthinking, Fu Yuan stood up directly. He looked at Scáthach, who was resting her chin on her hand. "Scáthach, I heard a strange sound, like a human voice. Can you watch the fire for me? Don't let it go out, or the stew won't taste good."
After leaving Scáthach with a message, Fu Yuan immediately dashed off in the direction of the sound.
Despite Fu Yuan's long and hurried strides, he eerily left no footprints on the fluffy snow, treading on snow without leaving footprints, which was incredibly unbelievable.
Scáthach watched Fu Yuan speed away. Her slightly parted cherry lips pursed, and she swallowed the words she was about to say to stop him.
Then, Scáthach walked towards the cooking food and muttered, "You want me to watch the fire? I'm not your cook."
Hmm... If you're not his cook, then why are you so obediently helping to watch the fire~
Since you're willing to help watch the fire, are you also willing to become his cook~
Whoosh~
The cold wind whistled past his ears as Fu Yuan galloped through the snow. No matter who encountered snow wolves in this icy landscape, he had to help.
If they were ordinary people, he'd just consider it a good deed.
But what if they were Einzbern Mages? Then wouldn't Fu Yuan and Scáthach be lucky to have found guides?
This way, Fu Yuan wouldn't have to search for the Einzbern castle aimlessly in this snowy region.
Moreover, Fu Yuan thought it was more likely that the person was an Einzbern Mage, because this was a rarely inhabited snowy region. Who would be so bored as to come to such a place?
=======A dividing line for Irisviel, the apple wife=======
In a vast expanse of white snow, dozens of snow wolves surrounded a woman. They bared their fangs, and thick saliva dripped from their mouths.
The pack of wolves gazed at the woman with greedy eyes, as if she were a piece of succulent meat.
The woman surrounded by the snow wolves was named 'Irisviel von Einzbern'. She had silver hair as beautiful as the galaxy, fair skin as pure and beautiful as snow and jade, and crimson eyes like rubies.
However... the look in her crimson eyes was slightly vacant. It was this vacant gaze that made her appear like a 'delicate porcelain doll'.
Simply put, she was like a soulless being.
Because she was being attacked by the pack of snow wolves, Irisviel's clothes were tattered and torn.
And beneath her tattered clothes, blood flowed. The scent of blood emanating from these wounds made the surrounding snow wolves even more greedy and excited.
For snow wolves surviving in the snowy wilderness, such a large piece of meat was enough to feed them for a long time.
Under the menacing gaze of the snow wolf pack, Irisviel, with her hollow eyes, drew out a silver thread from her slender wrist. She grasped the thread and then parted her pale cherry lips, which had turned white from excessive blood loss.
"shapeistLeben [Remains, I grant you life]."
Let me mention something here, Apple.
Because tomorrow is the "5/5 Hiatus Festival," Apple will not be updating on May 5th.
The update for tomorrow will be posted at midnight on May 6th.
So, you don't need to wait for Apple's update tomorrow.
As for what the "5/5 Hiatus Festival" is, it's a bit long to explain. If possible, please search it on Baidu and support some of us webnovel writers.
Now, Apple sincerely hopes those capitalists get carried to their coffins~
And... sob... it really hurts that Apple's update is postponed to the 6th tomorrow.
After all, Apple is currently on the click rankings. If I don't update, it's easy to be pushed out of the click rankings.
Chapter 48: Beautiful One, Why Do You So Calmly Accept All This [I]
As the two magical incantations were uttered in a hollow tone, the silver thread held in Irisviel's hand began to change.
The slender silver threads started to fly, crisscrossing in the snowy air. The silver threads intertwined and combined, like a woven craft, forming an extremely complex outline.
It was a giant eagle with fierce wings and a bird's beak, and sharp talons.
Its name was the Silver Thread Eagle.
The magical characteristic of the Einzbern family is the "Flow and Transfer of Power."
They excel at material refinement and creation using this characteristic, which is Alchemy.
Therefore, the Einzbern family has great attainments in creating artificial lifeforms.
The silver thread in Irisviel's hand was imbued with life through her magic, existing like a Familiar.
"Go."
As Irisviel's hollow yet pleasant voice rang out, the constructed Silver Thread Eagle immediately let out a sharp screech, like the clashing and grinding of metal blades.
Then, the Silver Thread Eagle flew out like a bullet. Its beak, as sharp as a razor, directly pierced the head of a snow wolf, splattering its blood and brain matter onto the snow.
As the saying goes, "bronze head, iron tail, tofu waist," the Silver Thread Eagle was able to pierce the snow wolf's head, indicating that its power was not to be underestimated.
Irisviel, being an artificial lifeform specially created for the Holy Grail War, possessed Mage Circuits that surpassed ordinary humans, and a standardized inverse Magic Crest engraved as initial settings.
The magic she used was not as fragile as her appearance suggested.
But that was the extent of it. Due to excessive blood loss and being in the snowy region, Irisviel no longer had the magic or stamina to maintain the Silver Thread Eagle.
Deprived of Irisviel's magical energy, the majestic Silver Thread Eagle plummeted, unraveling into a tangled mess of silver threads.
ROAR!
Irisviel's dying counterattack had enraged the Snow Wolves. Tails tucked, they snarled and charged, all lunging toward the blood-soaked, delicate woman ahead.
Gazing at the Snow Wolves' bared fangs, their greedy, murderous eyes, Irisviel felt no despair, no lament. She simply uttered a single, emotionless sentence.
"Is the trial over, then?"
As artificial lifeforms of the Einzbern family, they possessed intelligence but not emotion, much like exquisite dolls. Therefore, Irisviel could calmly accept her impending death.
But still!
