Chapter 846 -708: Indeed, the Future is an Unknown Variable

Xu Shuo certainly knew who had ordered them to ambush here.

However, what he truly wanted to know was.

How the other party had obtained his location.

Even the Supervisory Bishops accompanying the Holy Court forces did not know which direction he would take to Dalton City-State, yet the Royal Capital seemed to have precisely grasped his movements, establishing a Sky Net here.

Unfortunately.

Why didn’t that person come in person?

Xu Shuo stood on the peak, expressionlessly watching the mage tumble all the way to the foot of the mountain, then silently lying amidst the disorderly rocks.

As a Great Magician.

Dying like this was indeed somewhat disgraceful.

No wonder such a good-for-nothing was held in high regard by the Varo Royal Family; it’s no surprise rumors abounded that Wald XVIII was inept and incompetent.

It’s no wonder that, at this time, His Holiness the Pope chose to make a move to seize royal power.

Because this empire’s vitality had waned.

However, looking now.

Whether the current Wald XVIII is genuinely senile or feigning senility has become an unknown.

More importantly, whether there are other ambushes ahead waiting for him.

Is also an unknown.

From the look of this battle array, it seems that the enemy intends to deplete his strength before the Holy Court army can enter the Royal Capital.

Thunderous shouts came from the hollow of the hills.

Xu Shuo looked down indifferently.

Then, before that group of cavalry could chase again, and before the sky filled with arrows descended, he turned and left from another part of the peak, his figure disappearing into the night.

…

Following the aura of his own special artifact.

Xu Shuo didn’t recklessly walk on the mountain path anymore, but used the ability of “Dark Stealth” to shuttle through the dense forest, finding, under the cover of night, the Ice and Snow Elf nestled in a cave.

Sensing the noise, Catalina immediately looked alert.

Her silver eyes shone in the dark, with sharp vertical pupils gleaming under the moon-white edge, which looked rather unsettling.

Upon realizing the visitor was Xu Shuo.

Catalina finally relaxed slightly.

“You escaped?”

“What else would I be now? A ghost?”

“…”

Catalina silently sized up the young man.

Xu Shuo’s eyes also emitted a faint light.

Because at night, if he did not coat his pupils with the Power of Light, he would be completely blind, so at this moment, he indeed looked somewhat similar to the Ice and Snow Elf.

Perhaps due to just having gone through a tough battle.

The young man looked somewhat disheveled.

His carefully arranged silver hair was now utterly disordered, if it hadn’t been tied tightly initially, it might have been a complete mess by now.

Such a high and mighty Pope of Light.

To have fallen to such a state.

Not only chased by enemies to this point.

In the desolate mountains with cold harsh winds, without any Church Acolyte serving at his side, no brave and loyal knight to guard him, he has fallen to the point of having to fight by himself.

It was unclear how he had escaped from such an encirclement.

Catalina couldn’t help but ask: “Why did you tell me to go first earlier? If I had stayed, I could have helped you.”

Xu Shuo glanced at her: “When I told you to leave, I didn’t see you insisting on staying.”

Catalina: “…”

After two sentences, the familiar choke came again.

But Catalina persisted and said the third sentence: “If you had asked me to stay and help at that time, maybe I would have stayed, it’s just that you didn’t say so.”

“Because you didn’t look very useful.”

“…”

Catalina’s expression was a bit erratic.

When had an Executor of Dawn ever been ridiculed like this!

At this moment, Xu Shuo extended his hand towards her: “Give me back the cloak, time’s up, wearing it any longer is useless.”

In a huff, Catalina took off the cloak and threw it to him, a pitch-black, tattered cloak that couldn’t even keep out the cold — she really looked down on it!

Xu Shuo took back the cloak and sensed its condition.

The energy on it was indeed gone.

This cloak can autonomously restore energy when stowed away, but each use is limited to only five minutes, similar to how molecular crystals evaporate in the air.

The energy of the cloak would quietly evaporate away.

[Special Artifact ‘Cloak of the Baseless’ Fragment: You picked up a piece of rag and sewed it into a new garment, which can integrate you with your surroundings. But the remaining magic power can only support your action for five minutes each time, you need to find a way to fully repair it yourself.]

And the place to replenish the magic power is that special storage backpack in the Script Space.

Xu Shuo stored the cloak away.

Facing the item that suddenly disappeared in his hands, Catalina’s expression was slightly surprised, but perhaps still feeling indignant, she did not voice out to inquire.

Space storage magic is also a legendary and mysterious method on this continent.

However, thinking about it, since meeting this person,

She had seen quite a few mysterious methods.

The Church of Light was actually inheriting such formidable magical expertise, unlike the Ice and Snow Elf Clan, who could no longer even pass down their own lineage, let alone ignore those historical and cultural legacies.

Thinking of her own race,

Catalina’s mood sank again, silently wallowing in the darkness of the cave, radiating an indifferent, Buddha-like aura.

What time did she have now to be emotional?

She was no longer the Executor of Dawn she once was.

Today, she bears the inheritance of the Ice and Snow Elf Clan.

Catalina sank deeply into contemplation.

At this time, Xu Shuo said, “Rest for a moment, we need to continue on our journey soon, we must reach Dalton City tonight.”

The army outside was still searching far and wide.

He too did not want to delay the journey now.

But considering the significant consumption back in the dell, Xu Shuo planned to restore some spiritual power before setting off, so as to avoid encountering an ambush by that hidden adversary later on the road.

The adversary could trace his movements here,

Then perhaps they could lay in ambush elsewhere as well.

Catalina, hugging her knees, didn’t respond much, almost seeming withdrawn; Xu Shuo also leaned against the cave wall, closing his eyes to slowly recuperate.

The pitch-dark cave was so quiet that nearly no breath could be heard.

A violin played gently in his mind.

This content is taken from fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm.

Though he couldn’t hear what tune it was playing, Xu Shuo could imagine it himself, and such thoughts significantly relaxed his Spirit Sea.

Suddenly, the resting Xu Shuo felt something.

He abruptly opened his eyes.

In the darkness, those silver-white eyes, devoid of emotion, looked forward, meeting the eyes of the person who approached.

Catalina looked at him with a peculiar expression.

Suddenly she said, “You mentioned before that perhaps I could pass down the civilization of the Ice and Snow Elf Clan and continue this lineage in another way in this world.”

Xu Shuo listened quietly without speaking, just watching her expressionlessly.

Catalina continued: “I have been thinking about this all along, which is why I borrowed your Holy Book of Light. The faith of the Church of Light has been passed down and stood firm for a thousand years, perhaps there truly are things we should learn.”

Xu Shuo kept listening.

Catalina: “I have nothing left now, in order for the Ice and Snow Elves not to be forgotten by this world, I can only make myself learn to conform to these things I once scorned.”

Xu Shuo listened softly.

Catalina: “I know your Church of Light does not forbid the followers to reproduce, even advocating this act.”

Xu Shuo: “?”

Catalina: “You are the Light Envoy of this generation, I am the Executor of Dawn, we—”

“Get lost.”
