"Are you really okay? Don't force it, we can rest for a while." Dick asked.

"I'm fine, let's leave now."

Dick nodded and asked no more questions, then woke up Anson, and everyone brought out the sled and sled dogs bit by bit.

After a few people came out, they hitched the sled dogs to the sled.

This time Dick and Ruiwen's sleds were pulled by three dogs, while Anson had two.

After a few sled dogs were missing, the driving speed was much slower.

Dick was sitting on the sled, and he could clearly feel that Ruiwen on the side was swaying. He said with some worry, "If it doesn't work, just hold my arm."

"I don't like close physical contact with other people."

"Is this considered intimate? I've hugged you before? Ruiwen, you don't have any mysophobia, do you?" Dick joked.

Then he hugged the sorceress tightly with his arm, regardless of her objections.

At this time, he would not avoid so many things between men and women. He was almost dead, so how could he have so many taboos?

Ruiwen broke away for a moment and then stopped resisting. His cheeks were slightly red, and he didn't know if it was because of his unrecovered illness. He slowly leaned next to Dick.

She is too weak and really needs help.

The three of them continued driving the sled dogs through the snowy world.

After a while, Anson in front stopped the sled, and Dick was a little confused. "What's wrong?"

Anson turned around and said, "After this avalanche, the terrain nearby Misty Mountains has changed a bit. We seem to have gone the wrong way."

"It doesn't matter, look for it slowly, don't be in a hurry." Then Dick added, "Don't worry, I'm here, don't be afraid."

"Okay."

Anson got off the sled and looked around.

Dick didn't bother him either, knowing that he was trying to find his bearings.

After a while, Anson returned, pointed in a direction and said, "We will go in this direction and we will be able to return to Snow Village in the evening."

Dick said it was okay, and then Anson got on the sled again, and the others started on their way again.

After a while, the wind howled and heavy snow fell in the sky again.

The sorceress next to her began to cough loudly again. Listening to the sound, she wanted to spit out her lungs.

Dick Seeing Ruiwen shivering and shaking all over, he touched her forehead again and sighed.

Ruiwen's forehead is still very hot, but it's much better than before.

He took off his cloak and put it behind Ruiwen.

"Dick, I don't need it, I already have so many clothes."

"The temperature is lower now. You are a patient. It is better to be warmer. Don't worry about me. I am a demon hunter and my physical condition is good."

Ruiwen lowered his head and stopped talking.

After a long while, Ruiwen slowly spoke, "Dick, why do you want to help me?"

Dick raised his eyebrows, looked at Ruiwen's dry and slightly pale face and said:

"Because you are also a member of Witcher Order, and you came out to collect materials this time to make Magic Bombs for me. I have an obligation to help."

"Is that all?"

"That's it. First of all, I have a partner. You are late." Dick said with an exaggerated expression.

Ruiwen was also amused, "I know that little warlock named Xiya. She will become an official warlock soon. I have met her, and she is a little genius."

"Dick, you must treat her well from now on."

"Of course I will do this. But you don't seem to be older than her, and you were promoted to a warlock first. She is a little genius, so who are you?"

"I... am not a genius. Anyway, you should treat her well."

Dick just thought she was being modest, and then smiled and said:

"Of course I will treat her well, but why do you say that?"

"Because I heard others say you are cold and heartless, but I never thought you had any humanity at all."

"Did Master tell you? For some things, hearing is false and seeing is believing."

Ruiwen chuckled, "Maybe I have really seen your ruthless look."

When did I become ruthless in front of you?

Dick was about to reply, but saw some movement ahead.

He quickly grabbed the reins and shouted, "Anson, stop!"

The latter pulled the reins, stopped the sled dog, turned around and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Someone is coming ahead, be careful."

"Okay."

Anson was very obedient. Although he couldn't see anyone in front of him, he knew that Dick was a demon hunter and could see far away, so he naturally wouldn't object.

Dick got off the sled and stopped on the snow slope in front, squinting and looking down:

A gray figure was running towards here in a panic.

Looking carefully, she saw a girl with blond hair, wearing fur clothes and a fur hat of an unknown animal. She was running in her direction in a panic, looking back from time to time.

Dick looked further away and saw three men dressed similarly to her, holding long sticks and chasing after them cursing.

But he couldn't understand what they said.

Even though those men were running on the snow, they were running extremely fast, getting closer and closer to the blond girl in front of them.

And Dick could clearly see the sweat stains on the girl's face caused by fatigue and fear.

But Dick just drew the black sword and stayed there, not moving forward.

Anson also came to Dick at this time.

The girl gasped for air, ignoring the glove that had just fallen off, and continued running forward in embarrassment;

Looking forward again, I suddenly found two people standing on the gentle slope less than a hundred meters ahead. They quickly shouted, "Help! Help! There are bad guys chasing me."

Seeing that Dick was still standing still, Anson turned around anxiously. "Dick, save her!"

"I don't think there's something right about that girl."

"Even if she is not right, you can see that those men behind are obviously not good people. Let's at least ask about the situation first."

Dick nodded, and when the girl came to him panting, he stretched out his sword and pointed it at her.

"You, take three steps to the left, yes, that's it, put your hands behind your head, squat on the ground, don't move, or I'll kill you."

The girl looked at Dick pitifully, and was about to say something, but saw that the latter's face was stern and his pupils were erect into a thin line, which was terrifying. In the end, she just bit her lip and squatted down in humiliation.

Then Dick came to the girl again, first patted her waist, took out the dagger from the girl's waist, then patted her feet, roughly took off the animal skin shoes, pulled out the two smaller daggers hidden inside, and then returned the shoes to the girl.

She was about to take off her coat again, but Anson behind her couldn't bear to say, "Dick, forget it, she's just a little girl."

Dick heard this and did not continue. He just threw all the found weapons into his pocket and felt relieved.

Just now he didn't let the girl get close because although the girl spoke Common Language, it was extremely difficult to pronounce. Therefore, he concluded that the girl could not be from Northern Kingdoms because Common Language is the mainstream language here;

And she appeared in the Misty Mountains.

Then who is she? Seeing that the man opposite is about to rush over, it's too late to ask now.
