Chapter 3337 Ice Maid (Add to vote for additional updates at the beginning of the month)
Entering the semi-enclosed area from the narrow entrance, and there is an important building at the end of the area, but there is a very wide and flat open space between the building and the entrance. This scene made the outsider quite alert, and he felt that even a dragon emerged from under the ice the next moment:
"Emelia, ask Ellie, does the castle itself have a defensive force to prevent invasion?"
Shade then said, and after Emilia asked, the unicorn shook his head.
"Elie said she didn't know. She only appeared here after she woke up. This was not the place where she originally lived. She had no problem in and out of her own. When the demon ran in, it seemed that she did not encounter much obstacles."
"Speaking of this, do you feel that the wind is getting stronger and the temperature is getting lower and lower?"
Miss Reinhardt, who was standing beside her, suddenly said that the strong wind mixed with snowflakes was getting bigger and bigger, but this area seemed to have no air inlet. Xia De was about to say something, but raised his hand and unexpectedly found that he had shown the power of "Zhuhuoyu" at some point:
"What's the situation?"
Then he suddenly thrust a jog due to the cold around him, and the sudden chill even made him feel a little unbearable. The violent snowstorm drowned everyone in the next second with the sharp sound of the wind, and the visibility decreased, causing Xia De to lose everyone's figures.
When he broke through the wind and snow and approached Emilia, who was closest to him, he suddenly found that Emilia had been frozen in the ice:
"What?"
He reached out to touch the surroundings, and the unicorns Ellie, Miss Reinhardt, Miss Larson and the other three girls with the high ring were all frozen in the ice.
Xia De, whose hair and eyebrows were already covered with frost, couldn't believe that this was a matter of a moment. He called out the flames to thaw them, but reached out his hand and found that at some point his hands were covered with ice:
"This is a bit exaggerated, you can make a promise to burn your body one by one!"
I wanted to use the power of the first fire to thaw myself, but that only slightly delayed the freezing time for a few seconds.
Finally, Xia De, who kept raising his hand, was also sealed in the ice, but at least the few seconds of delaying the freezing, he felt what the power came from the castle was. "The power of the old god [Winter Girl], at least the power of the witch emperor at the level of the demigod, and a relic of not low level."
But there is no demon's power.
With this idea, he was sealed into the ice, and his consciousness solidified due to freezing. The fire marks of "first fire remain" could be seen vaguely appearing in his body surface, but this time even the power of the first fire could not break through this layer of ice.
While consciousness is frozen, it seems that its own time is also stagnant.
I don’t know how long it took, but it seemed that I could hear a cat’s cry in a trance, but it seemed that it was just a “her” smile.
Among the thousands of human-shaped ice sculptures standing before the Ice and Snow Castle, one of them suddenly trembled. Then, amid the suffocation of the sound, cracks appeared on the surface of the ice sculpture. Finally, the ice sculpture exploded on the spot. Xia De, who was gasping for breath, regained his ability to move in the crystal ice powder all over the sky.
He knelt in the snow and supported the snow surface under his feet with his hands and breathed heavily. The spirit in his body was completely frozen during the period just now. At this moment, the changes in the elements in his body caused by the spirit rushing up almost made him know what "out of control" means.
Fortunately, his recovery ability was very strong. It took half a minute to adjust himself. After standing up again, he looked around, but there were no traces of his companions around him.
Before being frozen just now, the team should be halfway away from the Ice and Snow Castle, but at this moment he had already passed through the seemingly flat and empty area of the canyon under the ice cap, and stood among the ice sculptures in front of the gorgeous steps of the castle.
All the ice sculptures around are exactly the same size and volume. Only men and women can be seen from the carved clothes, but they cannot see that the inside is completely solid ice, or that the inside is a human. Different ice sculptures have subtle expressions and movements, but they are all lifelike.
"What happened just now?"
[After you were frozen, I also lost my ability to perceive the outside world. About twenty minutes passed.]
"She" said gently. Xia De didn't care whether it was true or not. He looked into the direction of the entrance of the canyon, but he could only see the group of ice sculptures spreading there. The subsequent team should be only five minutes away from here. Since they were not seen at this moment, I am afraid that the subsequent team would either temporarily evacuate the canyon or become the ice sculptures here.
Instead of trying to leave the canyon, he reached out to touch the ice sculpture closest to him. But at this moment,
Footsteps came from the highest point of the stairs in front of the castle. While the high heels hit the steps, a female voice stopped Xia De:
"Guest, please do not destroy the decorations in the castle courtyard at will." (Carsonrick)
"who?"
Looking up, a crystal clear figure came from a high place. She stepped on crystal-like ice high heels and came from the white ice crystal steps in front of the castle. Each step was accompanied by the slight sound of fine ice crystals, because her body was also carved from pure ice.
Unlike the ice sculptures that stand in the snow in front of the castle, the face of the figure walking down the steps is extremely delicate. The long maid dress made of thin ice on her body looks like a work of art, and the ice even sways gently as she moves.
Her skin exudes a cool but soft luster, and the long skirt fits every icy ridge on the surface of the body.
Because Xia De was standing below, he even noticed that when the "ice maid" walked down the steps, there were lights of snowflakes falling under the hem of the skirt.
"Ni Lie...No, Elemental Life?"
Just like Tifa and Matilda, this is another very professional maid.
"Guest, please do not destroy the decorations of the courtyard."
She said again, as she kept getting closer, Xia De was very convinced that the other party's eyes had the spirit of wisdom and life.
The wind and snow in the canyon had already stopped, and the sunlight that penetrated the ice cover on her head was shining on her body. The inhuman feeling and coldness made her have the charm that was no less than any living girl.
Of course, her arrival also made the surrounding temperature cooler, but at least the temperature at this moment would not freeze Xia De again.
"Who are you?"
Seeing that the other party did not show hostility, Xia De asked with his hand back, and the maid continued to use Carsonrick language in the Sixth Era, standing under the last step and bowing slightly to Xia De:
"Guest, I am the headmaid of this castle and the only housekeeper here. Since you are not afraid of the cold winter, you are welcome to visit. Please follow me, please forgive me for your inadequate reception."
Xia De didn't move:
"Miss Maid, can you explain what's going on now?"
The Bingmaid actually smiled on her face, and Xia De didn't know how Hanbing became as movable as the human body:
"Of course, the great master who built this castle has already left, but she left some precious treasures here before leaving. Didn't you come to hunt for treasure?"
"I....."
"Of course, the castle will only give such a test when a strong enough witch or ring warlock comes here. If the test fails, you can only stand in the courtyard as an ornament. But the owner is very kind-hearted. If an ordinary person accidentally breaks into this place, as long as he leaves in time, the castle and I will not make things difficult for them."
She seemed to know what Xia De was wondering.
"But I just saw a lot of ice sculptures of ordinary people."
"Yes, there are always people who want to take something away from here, so they can only stay. The last person who left safely was an ordinary person twenty years ago. Although he accidentally took away a piece of weaving, since he was accidentally, I did not make things difficult for him."
She made the invitation again:
"Then, please follow me. A great adventure is waiting for you in front of you."
Xia De still didn't move. He frowned and stared at the face of the "ice beauty" in front of him:
"Unicorn Ellie, I have never mentioned you."
"Yes, since the experimental product woke up, I have been in a state of integration with this castle. After all, after it woke up, there have been no guests like you who need me to come forward to greet in person."
"Experimental product?"
The ice maid is unwilling to explain:
"Can you come with me now?"
"There are two more things. I'll follow you after I've said it. Do you know there are demons in the castle?"
"That is the villain who lives here temporarily. It wants its owner's secret treasure, but refuses to accept the test left by its owner. It lives here temporarily. Because it has not destroyed the castle and is too powerful, I did not expel it. It is still here today, with some of the permissions of the castle. If you pass the test, you can naturally see it."
There is no trace of demonic power on the Ice Maid, and the demon is a "demon of weapon" rather than a "demon of ice and snow", so Xia De is not worried that the maid in front of him is a demon's trap.
"The last thing, where are my friends?"
"I put them in the courtyard and the castle respectively. The naughty Ellie came here rashly with so many strangers, and it was locked in the castle by me. If you complete the test, you and Ellie, your friends can leave."
She smiled again:
"This also includes other people who are following you. It is a great honor to have received so many visitors, which makes me a humble maid like me. There is no need to worry about their safety. Within fifty years of freezing, even ordinary people can survive.
But if you have been more than fifty years, I’ll be sorry, even the ring warlock will truly become a part of the ice and snow.”
