"Anyway, Juvia didn't see anyone who could suppress Lord Xingchen." Juvia still retorted.
Just when everyone was discussing and moving forward.
Luo Xingchen could already see the small wooden house standing on the hill in the distance.
"Should it be somewhere?" Milaj looked into the distance and asked.
Luo Xingchen on the side nodded: "If there is nothing wrong with the map, then something is wrong."
After confirming, Luo Xingchen didn't hesitate, greeted the two girls and walked towards the wooden house.

Accompanied by the sound of the door being slowly pushed open.
Luo Xingchen, Miraj, and Juvia stepped into the cabin.
"Excuse me, is anyone there?" Looking at the dark surroundings.
Luo Xingchen couldn't help shouting.
But they didn't get a response. Such a situation made everyone look around and look at the environment of the wooden house.
The light seeping in through the wide open door can be seen.
Various green plants are climbed on all sides of the wooden house.
Colorful flowers wrap the entire wooden house.
The spontaneous fresh air made all three of them feel a strange feeling.
"Please be quiet, plants like quiet very much!"
Suddenly, in front of the crowd, a tall figure turned his back to the three of them and spoke slowly.
That voice made Juvia cover her mouth carefully.
He looked at the surrounding plants with concern.
"Hahaha, you guys are so naive!" Suddenly, the tall figure changed his tone.
The arm holding the shower was raised high.
Then he turned around, revealing a face that was exactly like the trunk of a big tree.
And the hair that looks like the branches and leaves of a big tree.
With a funny smile on his face, he said: "This is just a joke, just kidding, trees like people's smiles the most, hahahaha!"
The unexpected flip made the three of them twitch their mouths, as if they hadn't reacted yet.
"By the way... what's going on with this man?" Juvia carefully poked Miraj who was at the side.
"I don't know, he shouldn't be one of the legendary four heavenly kings of Ishgar, right?"
There was also a trace of suspicion in Milaj's eyes.
"Although it's a bit of a surprise...but it should be right." He stared at the appearance that was indistinguishable from the big tree.
Luo Xingchen narrowed his eyes slightly, and said this.
It seemed that even I couldn't believe it, so I finally asked:
"Excuse me, are you Walod Sinken?"
Hearing the questioning, the tree-like old man finally regained some dignity.
Responded aloud: "That's right! I am Walod Sinken!"
After a pause, he laughed again: "Haha, I'm just kidding!"
"Huh?!" All three of them exclaimed.
"This is just a joke! Haha, you are just as funny as the bunch of little guys who came yesterday, hahahaha!" Worold said on his old face.
The smile seemed to grow brighter.
But the three people on the opposite side didn't think so.
Twitched the corner of his mouth.
I always feel... It's tiring to communicate with such an old man...
"Ahem..." As if he had laughed enough, Worold coughed lightly twice.
His face became serious, and he said in a deep voice:
"Then, welcome, the second batch of goblins!"
Chapter 574: 105 years, the inherited will
After a lot of tossing, Worod invited Luo Xingchen and the other three to the table and stool in the backyard to prepare.
He took out a book and placed it in front of him.
"Actually, I talked about this with the first group of goblins yesterday, but let's talk about it this time."
Worod, who had just sat down, spoke first.
"Since I retired from the guild, I have been working on desert greening, using my own green magic to prevent the expansion of desertification."
While talking about Worod, he flipped through the book in his hand.
He continued: "I found a very wonderful village during my years of walking in the desert."
Having said that, Volod stopped flipping the books in his hand.
Pushing it to Luo Xingchen and the other three on the opposite side to watch.
"Village of the Sun?" Looking at the records in the book, Luo Xingchen was a little puzzled - said.
In this regard, Worod nodded lightly: "That's right, it is a village with an eternally burning flame as its guardian."
Milaj took the book curiously and looked at the records above.
"A village that has been passed down from four hundred years ago." Looking at the contents of the book, Milaj murmured.
"That is to say... that so-called eternal burning flame has been burning continuously for four hundred years?"
Juvia gasped in surprise.
Volod nodded, and his tone became heavy:
"The next thing is the key point. Some time ago, when I went back to investigate where I found out, I didn't know whether it was due to natural disasters or man-made disasters."
"The whole village was frozen, humans, animals, vegetation, mountains or rivers, and even the eternal flame in the village was also frozen."
His words also instantly aroused the surprise of several people on the opposite side.
"Even the flames are..."
"Yes." Worod sighed and continued:
"But there is another strange phenomenon, that is, even if they are completely frozen, people who are frozen in the ice are still alive."
"Just to freeze people, but not take their lives..."
Luo Xingchen tapped the table regularly with his index finger.
What Worod said just now reminded him of someone.
A person who also uses ice magic and is extremely powerful.
Thinking of the recent movement...
Luo Xingchen frowned slightly, the index finger tapping on the table stopped, and murmured: "Could it be him?"
Luo Xingchen's soft murmur was not heard by everyone.
Worod also continued to talk about his appeal: "The living villagers are frozen. This must not be left alone. Therefore, to rescue that village, this is the content of my entrustment."
"Melting the ice..." Miraj on the side looked at Luo Xingchen.
"The stars also have the ability of ice and fire, so it shouldn't be difficult to melt them, but..."
Having said that, Milaj turned his attention to Volod again.
Asked my own question:
"With all due respect, a powerful mage like Lord Volod should be able to solve such a problem alone? Why do you need to issue a commission?"
But Volod just smiled, and he got up slowly, raised his head, and looked at the white clouds floating above the sky.
"Although I am the Holy Ten Sorcerer, I am not omnipotent."
"Strictly speaking, this is just one of the ten people selected by the Senate. On this vast continent, there are many mages stronger than me."
"And if I go out of this continent, I will be nothing more than an extremely small existence."
He turned around, lowered his head, and looked at the young people who were doing it.
"To be honest, I don't know how to use offensive magic at all. If I want to compete with you young people by force, it is impossible for me to win."
"Uh... Lord Volod, Juvia thinks you are too modest." Juvia said aloud.
"Maybe Mr. Xingchen can definitely win, but Juvia's will definitely not."
As she spoke, she kept shaking her head.
"Hahaha, the little girl is very interesting." Worold laughed and shook his head.
"Everyone has things they are good at or not good at, and talents that can complement each other are called companions."
Having said that, he paused.
Looking at the group of young people, he seemed to recall the scene many years ago.
"Furthermore... this is the guild!"
Volod's words also made everyone smile at the same moment.
Yeah, as he said, no one is invincible.
Learn from each other, this is your partner!
Only those who can go forward together and hand over their backs to their companions without reservation can overcome all difficulties.
And the guild is surrounded by such a group of companions.
The constructed... Utopia!
————
After understanding the whole story.
Luo Xingchen and the others planned to set off immediately to the mission location.
However, according to what Worod said, the frozen village is more than two thousand kilometers away from here.
Such a distance is considered to be Luo Xingchen's uninterrupted use of space ability to jump.
It also takes more than one time.
Regardless of how long it takes, continuous space jumps will undoubtedly require a lot of magic power.
However, Worod said that the three of them could be sent there in one fell swoop.
So he took everyone to a wide place.
"Well, before leaving, I want to ask, did our companions arrive in that village yesterday?"
Before leaving, Luo Xingchen asked Elusa and the others who had arrived yesterday.
"Those little guys, I guess they are still on the way. After all, yesterday's magic failed." Worod muttered softly.
"Otherwise, why would I be waiting for your arrival?"
"What--?!"
Although it was a very low whisper,
