"We shall proceed with that in mind then. We can just tame one in the early middle area. It will be up to you to raise it to be mountable." Adrian stated.
"We shall see first as we do not know if my bow is indeed the case why I cannot board a mount." Crystal stated as he is still skeptical if her bow is really the fact that she cannot get a mount.
Adrian wanted to ask about the bow, but Crystal would have opened up about it if it really was a simple item. The fact that pure snow wind elemental energy could be picked up from the bow means it is not ordinary. In fact, even Adrian can say that the bow will definitely freeze his hand if he dares touch it casually.
[NPC Crystal (Level 180) has joined your party.]
[If Crystal dies then the quest will be marked as failed.]
[You shall also face the wrath of the Mo tribe should they learned that one of their own dies under your watch.]

The group then decided to enter the actual Quaint Snowfield and they can immediately tell that something is different. The Quaint Snowfields are different because the surroundings are serene. Not even the slightest sound from a wild animal could be heard as if they melded in the snow.
"Follow me as I know a path to the middle of the Quaint Snowfields. Be careful of the Quaint Snow Goblins that hide in the snow. You can determine that they are hiding in the snow from the odd shape that they make." Crystal stated.
"You do not need to worry about the Snow Goblins because I can see their life force. You can say that is also the reason why I could easily find you despite being well hidden in the tree." Adrian stated as he knows what Snow Goblins are and Quaint Snow Goblins must be the version in this forbidden zone.
They might be called Quaint Snow Goblins, but they do not look that different from Snow Goblins. Snow Goblins are basically like cute humanoid snowmen that are purely made of snow. They are not related to goblins as goblins do not thrive in the cold. Ordinary Snow Goblins are only four feet tall and have limited energy.
Quaint Snow Goblins are different because the life force they are giving is as great as a giant. The minimum level of these Quaint Snow Goblins is Level 280. Just one of them is already a pain to deal with but they do have Soleil with them so they might have an easier time.
"We are here." Crystal stated as she did lead them to a safe path although they needed to be careful.
"We shall wait here then. Sirius and Charon, lay wait and strike when I tell you to." Adrian commanded as the two vanished.

"The Snow Wind Goshawk tend to hunt alone. Their favorite meal would be the Quaint Snow Rabbits." Crystal explained.
"Quaint Snow Rabbits are monsters that have a minimum level of 250 which means the Snow Wind Goshawk should be the same or somewhat stronger. This will not be easy. Thankfully, we are only here to survey if it really has snow wind elemental energy." Adrian thought as a Quaint Snow Rabbit suddenly came out of the thick snow to find something to eat.
"Master! Something is swooping down from the sky." Sirius stated via their soul link.
Just as Sirius stated, a shadow suddenly formed on top of the Quaint Snow Rabbit. The shadow started off as a small dot, but it suddenly grew so large until a one and a half meter tall bird suddenly swooped down. Its talons are like pure ice crystals that pierced the Quaint Snow Rabbit and did not even let it struggle.
In an instant, the Quaint Snow Rabbit got killed and Adrian slightly trembled as the level of the Snow Wind Goshawk is level 265. It is much greater than what he initially thought but it should be manageable since it is only one.
"Can you determine if it really has Snow Wind elemental energy?" Adrian asked Soleil.
"It might know that I am surveying it and suddenly take distance. We need to pin it down first." Soleil stated as all other monsters that she used her senses on felt it.
"Understood." Adrian stated as he immediately activated Gravity Control on the Snow Wind Goshawk.
Chains then sprouted from the ground to also capture the Snow Wind Goshawk but its slightly slender body is actually powerful. Sirius needed to chime in and tie it up with his shadows as well in order to totally subdue the large bird of prey. The Snow Wind Goshawk could no longer struggle but that did not mean that those keeping it pinned down are having it easy.
Soleil immediately used her ability to sense the elemental energy present in the monster. The Snow Wind Goshawk felt this pervasive ability and felt as if it is getting read naked. The Snow Wind Goshawk looked at the small girl filled with the fire element with fear.
"It has the Snow Wind elemental attribute, but it leans slightly more to the wind. It should be enough to test the bonding with her though." Soleil stated.
"Noted. It should be up to me next then. Vayu, please take over my position." Adrian stated as he released the Gravity Control, but Vayu made use of the winds to push the Snow Wind Goshawk down.
"I bet you can understand me. Let me see…what is that spell again that can translate the language of the monster?" Adrian stated as he opened his Scribe Journal to search for the spell. He then took out five pieces of paper and wrote three runic words which are Understanding, Mind, and Link.
When he finished writing those words, he then activated the five talismans which flew to the five beings in that location. It did not take long for them to hear a deepish voice and the source is none other than the Snow Wind Goshawk.
