Chapter 3379 The experiment of freezing time

"The task is to read newspapers for two consecutive days, which is easy."

Xia De said and smiled. Lu Weiya knew at a glance that Xia De thought that "good luck" was ended by "bad luck", so "good luck" would come again soon.

The girls went to work separately. Xia De went to the academy before leaving for the Snow Mountains and told Denister to pick up Emilia to the island tomorrow:

"Let Emilia concentrate on preparing her crown dress, and it can't always take up her time."

Needless to say, Xia De could imagine the disappointment of the pointy-eared girl, but he really didn't want to delay Emilia's class and homework all the time.

Considering that if you have time today, go to the spring mentioned by the elders, Shade took Xiao Mia to Fatummonster Island. Claire knew that Shade was going to go to the Snow Castle again today, so he did not wait for him in the Snow Mountain Hall.

Xiade greeted Elder Harald and entered the snow-capped mountains with Ellie.

Xia De couldn't understand the unicorn's words, but the unicorn could understand the words of Xia De. It took Xia De around the cedar forest like last week, and only took him to find the cave on the rock wall at 10 o'clock in the morning. After passing through the cave, he entered the unobservable area of ​​the Snow Mountain again.

The cave exit this time was a little different from the last time. Xiade didn't recognize the location until he saw the narrow entrance to the canyon.

After entering the canyon, he unexpectedly discovered that although the large ice cap covering the sky of the canyon was hit several large holes last Friday, the ice cap is now intact.

The sunlight was scattered with colorful light and sprinkled onto the canyon under the ice, which also made the castle complex at the end of the canyon look even more beautiful. There were still dense ice sculptures in front of the castle, but this time these ice sculptures were really just ice sculptures.

Ellie knew that the devil had been beaten away, so this time "going home" was more lively than the last time. After entering the canyon, she threw away Xia De and happily ran around the snow in front of the castle.

Xia De really hoped that Miya would have such a lively spirit, but unfortunately the cat screamed at Ellie intimidation before going up the mountain, and then went straight into his pocket. It was unwilling to run around in the snow.

When Xiade walked through the canyon and walked towards the castle, he did not forget to look at the sky in front of the castle. The black iron aura had disappeared. Although if you felt it carefully, you could still notice that the very faint whispering elements were spreading around the canyon, but this level of whispering elements was already quite slight.

It seems that the castle maid has successfully handled the big trouble.

When Xia De came to the castle, Ellie had already rushed into the castle. The ice maid who had just been thought of by Xia De was already standing at the top of the steps in front of the castle gate, waiting for him.

Her outfit is no different from last week. She bent down and bowed to express her welcome when Shade climbed the stairs:

"Please follow me."

Last time I passed through the gate, but today the castle is still closed. After passing through the ice layer directly like last time, the temperature in the castle is actually similar to that outside, and it is far less cold than when Shade and Miss Sabel came last Friday.

I think the low temperature they experienced in the castle last Friday was also part of the test.

The maid led Xia De to the fourth floor, and the last room she entered was the reception room when Emilia and Ellie were waiting for him to complete the test.

The maid asked Xia De to wait here for a while, and then she went to prepare tea. When she came back five minutes later, Ellie had already arrived in the room, and was lying obediently on Xia De's legs sitting on the sofa, eating apples.

"Is it my illusion? This child looks a little fatter than half a week ago."

The maid asked when she put the tea trunk on the coffee table. Ellie ignored her at all, and Xia De wanted to laugh:

"Elie was already a little malnourished, but she is still a thin body. Although it looks like black tea, I want to make sure that this is really black tea?"

He pointed to the coffee table and the maid said respectfully:

"Yes, this is a black tea specially used to entertain you, and it was left by His Majesty before he left."

"Then we won't go around the circle-where is Chloe?"

Xia De picked up the teacup, and the maid did not sit down, but stood opposite the coffee table, as if Xia De was interrogating her:

"For you, of course, His Majesty is in the past time and space. I know what you are guessing, but I'm sorry, His Majesty is not here."

The taste of black tea was surprisingly good, and Xia De was not disappointed:

"So can you tell me now? Why did Chloe leave this castle on this island? I have touched the remnants of Chloe on the snow-capped mountains, and I know she has known that I will appear on this island in the Sixth Age."

But the maid shook her head slightly:

“This one”

"A little interruption, sorry, I forgot to ask - what is your name? What name should I call you later?"

Xia De asked again at this time, with some surprise on the Ice Maid's face, but soon the expression on her face turned into a smile:

"You can call me 'Winnie'. I am not pure elemental life, but a combination of consciousness and elemental life of the castle itself."

"Winnie" is a very common name.

"Sit down and talk, I'm not used to people standing and talking to me."

Shade made another request, but just like Tifa, a professional maid would refuse even if she faced her master's excessive opinions:

"I want to correct one thing for you. Although Your Majesty guessed that you might appear on this island, this castle was not specially prepared for you. If Your Majesty wants to leave you and you will definitely receive it, then you should have already received many gifts from Your Majesty.

There are rules for time, and what you are deliberately left to you cannot actually be kept."

Xia De also understood this truth, otherwise Miss Violet and Teresa who lived at the end of the fifth era would not have been sent only Miss Elather.

“So what the hell is here?”

"This is just a laboratory for His Majesty. Although it looks like a castle, it is actually far from the castle that the demigod witches use for their real life."

"laboratory?"

Xia De glanced at Ellie who was gnawing on the apple:

"Can you reveal what experiment Chloe is doing?"

"Of course. Your Majesty wants to study the power of freezing the living life and solidifying its time together. In this way, when the ice is lifted, no matter how long the outside world has passed, it will only be a moment for the frozen object. This is actually a jump of time.

The study was carried out simultaneously in multiple laboratories. The initial test subjects were plants, then expanded to small animals such as ants, and finally medium animals such as goats, until it involved heterogeneous life with extraordinary powers."

She stood opposite the coffee table and kept her elegant posture and introduced to Xia De:

"I have not been to His Majesty's other laboratories, but at the height of this laboratory, ice crystals of all sizes filled almost all floors except the fifth floor, and experimental records piled up in the study you visited last time.

This castle can ensure that ordinary people will not be in danger of life within fifty years after being frozen. It is also based on the research results of this experiment."

Although the maid only introduced the research content, Shade had already thought of Chloe's purpose. She wanted to freeze her own time so that she could come to the Sixth Era.

"So Chloe succeeded?"

The maid shook her head slightly regretfully:

"The experimental results are not ideal. For ordinary lives, even if the body can be frozen by time, the souls of ordinary things without extraordinary power will still corrupt in the washout of time. For lives with extraordinary power, it is even more difficult to freeze their time.

Before the laboratory here was abandoned, after the time-accelerated test, His Majesty could only stabilize the freezing of life for 500 years, and could only be used once for the same life."

"So what's going on with Ellie?"

The unicorn, who was happily eating apples, heard that he was called, so he raised his head and looked at Xia De with his azure blue eyes. Seeing that Xia De had nothing to do, he concentrated on continuing to eat apples.

Shade feels that its recent weight gain is mainly due to Emilia's supplements but these apples.

"You must have prepared potions and tried to make alchemy props. Sometimes, maybe in the flash of inspiration, fate will generously lift the corners of your skirt to you, allowing you to complete the production that you could not have done otherwise.

This is the case for Ellie. Maybe it was because His Majesty had good luck, or maybe it was because Ellie had some unreplicable traits. Most of the unicorns who were experimenting with it were forced to recover from the frozen state after accelerating for about 300 years, otherwise it would damage their souls.

Only Ellie's time freeze has been successful for more than 500 years. Then His Majesty confirmed that her frozen state could be maintained until the Sixth Era, and left her as the only result here in the depths of the castle."

Her expression of looking at Ellie was also a little pity:

"This child is favored by fate. Although I don't know the results of similar experiments conducted by His Majesty's other laboratories, it is probably the only result. Unfortunately, this result cannot be copied and promoted, so this result is of no value to His Majesty."

Xia De reached out and touched Ellie's back, and then touched Mia, who was huddled in his arms because she was too cold. He didn't understand Chloe's research, but he could imagine that the short silver-haired girl living in the early fifth era was trying variously to be able to truly live with him.

He sighed softly, thinking about hugging Chloe next time he saw her, and then asked:

"But why doesn't Ellie remember this?"

The maid's answer is still smooth:

"Although it is a miracle that she successfully came to today's era by being frozen, miracles also come at a price. At present, it is just blurred by the memory before the ice is frozen. This price is really small, and it is not even considered a price in my opinion."

She said while watching Ellie eat with Xia De. After the conversation paused for more than ten seconds, she spoke again:

"Although your Majesty did not expect you to be here, since fate took the initiative to lead you to meet Ellie, and Ellie brought you here again, then please take care of it in the future, or let it live with the modern unicorn population.
