Chapter 457, Ice Magic and Ice Sculpture

In the snow-covered Sharon Forest, Ryan and Veronica visited Teresa's Wizard Tower.

Unlike Veronica, the wizard tower built by Teresa is not so much a single tower, but a small manor centered on the wizard tower. Here is a summer resort, cold in winter and bright in summer, warm wind from the south It will be blocked by the hills, but the cold wind from the north can reach it directly. A dormitory building has been built in the manor, and the wizard tower has six floors. Obviously Teresa doesn't like living with apprentices. She I prefer to use my wizard tower as a teaching building and workshop.

In the freezing weather, the ice witch apprentices wearing blue robes and white robes came together in front of Ryan and the others. Most of the witch apprentices in a row were blond beauties. In winter, it is the time when their mana is strong, so I also greet them with special spirit.

The decoration in the wizard tower uniformly adopts the most typical Kislev style. Teresa uses white stone and marble to build her own wizard tower. Strong visual effect of dark color contrast. Dark suede sofas and walnut wood furniture are used to highlight the texture, and the decorations are matched with natural post-modern natural furniture to set off the humanistic and elegant atmosphere of the space. The overall space feels calm and elegant.

After walking into the interior of the wizard tower, Ryan found that the interior was decorated with a wooden structure, which was luxurious and trivial. Teresa had extremely high requirements for her wizard tower, and every corner had been meticulously repaired. Seeing Teresa Bringing Ryan and Veronica in, Emma, ​​the apprentice taught by Teresa, came in front of several people: "Mentor, are you back?"

"Well, I'm back, you go to rest." Teresa's own white bear leather vest was hanging on the hanger, she motioned Emma to go out, and then pointed to the long sofa chair: "Sit, Ryan, this is my home It's your house too, you're welcome, Veronica... If you don't want to be frozen in the ice by me, just keep your mouth shut."

"Hmph, we can have a duel, right now, let me see if our little Princess Jialan has made any progress?" Veronica, despite her poor condition, continued to swear one after another: " Come on, get out your staff! Don't think you can beat me in your wizard's tower... Mmm!"

Ryan simply covered Veronica's mouth. He didn't want to quarrel at the beginning: "Okay, Veronica, stop arguing. Teresa obviously has a problem with us."

The Witch of Garland is wearing a creamy white princess ruffled chiffon shirt and a black skirt today. Veronica glared at Lane maliciously and glared at Teresa again. Of course Witch Garland knows that in this season , and how much chance she has in Teresa's wizard tower, but she still has to show her attitude.

"Yes, I have something for you... Come here, Ryan, and Veronica." Theresa signaled Ryan and Veronica to follow her.

The three go down together,

There is a basement in the wizard tower, which is also very delicately decorated. Teresa's high-heeled rhinoceros leather boots, Ryan's leather boots, and Veronica's high-heeled shoes stepped on the steps, making a clicking sound. Ryan asked in a low voice: "Teresa, what's wrong?"

"Look at this." Teresa motioned Ryan to look in front of her eyes.

What appeared in front of the three of them was a beautiful ice sculpture.

That's right, it's an ice sculpture. A beautiful girl wearing a witch's apprentice's robe was frozen in a piece of solid ice. Her eyes were closed, and she seemed to have lost her vitality.

"Pfft~ You just show us this? Oh my god, Trovik, I don't know how many witch apprentices fail in their cultivation every year. There are eighty if not a hundred such ice sculptures in Sky Dome Castle." Veronica laughed non-stop. , her sweet face and beautiful almond eyes are full of sarcasm: "Don't tell me this is the first time you have encountered this situation."

Ryan nodded. As Veronica said, it is very difficult to practice magic. Mastering magic is a painful and complicated process for human beings. Once the process fails, the ending will be very terrifying.

For example, apprentices of the fire department will explode and turn into ashes, apprentices of the light department will automatically disintegrate in the light, beastmen will directly become beastmen, and alchemy department students will become a metal statue.

The same is true for the ice system. Once the apprentice wizard of the ice system fails to practice, she will turn into an ice sculpture due to the cold air entering her body.

"But this apprentice witch of the ice department didn't become an ice sculpture because of failure in cultivation." Teresa shook her head again and again, she pressed the surface of the ice sculpture with her hands, and looked at the girl trapped inside: "She just Had a dream."

"A dream?"

"She dreamed of Queen Miska, and the queen wanted to tell her something, but Queen Miska's voice was covered by the evil god's laughter and curses, and after that, Queen Miska also disappeared into the darkness. Teresa frowned: "Not long after she finished speaking, she died like this."

"Queen Miska..." Ryan frowned.

Queen Miska is Kislev's first female czar, and also the most powerful ice witch, bar none.

Speaking of Queen Miska, one has to mention that she is the founder of Kislev. The kingdom of Kislev was an outsider who first multiplied on the Kurgan Prairie, but with the invasion and corruption of Chaos, Queen Miska received an oracle, and the bear god Esun told her that she had to migrate, so she and the tribe she ruled moved to this side of the roof of the world, and established Kiesler through war and alliance with the Ugol people. Husband Kingdom.

Queen Miska is also known as the "Ice Queen" and "Frost Witch" because of her powerful personal bravery and terrible ice magic.

After the Kislev Kingdom was established, the queen claimed that she had a major mission and had to leave, because she claimed to have seen a scene of a terrible future, and led her elite troops to disappear into the Chaos Wasteland in the north. Claims that she will return when her people need her again for salvation.

What is frightening is that Queen Miska has not fulfilled her promise, and she did not show up when Kislev was on the verge of destroying the country during the Great Holy War and led the crowd to flee south.

So why would this apprentice witch claim to hear Queen Miska's voice?

Why did the cold air enter the body and turn into an ice sculpture after hearing the voice of Queen Miska?

Ryan thought for a while, but couldn't give an answer, so he had to shift his gaze to Veronica: "What do you think? Veronica?"

"I don't know, Queen Miska's strength is unquestionable, but Chaos Wasteland..." Veronica's expression became serious, and Witch Garland shook her head again and again, recalling her knowledge: "Queen Miska established a foundation." Slev is almost a thousand years ago. After the destruction of the Great Holy War, there are very few records of that period. The only guess of historians is that Queen Miska should have tried to lead her army to Chaos. The Wasteland tried to close the Old One's portal, and she undoubtedly failed."

"How could a person close to a thousand years ago who failed to close the portal have something to say to this apprentice witch through a dream after a thousand years?" Teresa also continued, the sorceress's face was full of confusion: "Some kind of... omen, or is this an outright hoax?"

The atmosphere in the basement was very stiff. Ryan looked at the girl inside the ice sculpture. He tried to reach out to destroy the ice sculpture. Teresa subconsciously tried to stop Ryan but was stopped by Veronica.

"What are you doing? Even if Ryan can melt the ice sculpture, that apprentice..." Teresa shook off Veronica's hand forcefully. The female sorceress had an angry expression on her cold face. Due to her emotional changes, The surrounding frost is also speeding up around her as her mood changes.

"So what's the use of that?" Veronica was also tit-for-tat, and Witch Garland said in a low voice: "Let him understand how fragile we are and how difficult it is to get to this point, so that he will cherish us even more! We follow He has paid a lot in his footsteps, and our sacrifices should let him know that a man's gratitude cannot be earned by his blind devotion! You may be touched by your own sacrifice, but he doesn't understand, everything is equal to zero!"

"..." Teresa's eyes dimmed, and the sorceress nodded.

Ryan didn't notice the conversation between Teresa and Veronica, and a platinum-gold psychic flame emerged from his hand, trying to melt the ice sculpture and take out the apprentice witch inside.

The ice sculpture gradually melted.

Ryan's expression also gradually changed from dignified to surprised, and finally pale.

Not only the ice sculptures melted, but also the apprentice witch in the ice sculptures. The beautiful figure melted together with the ice sculptures. All Ryan could grasp with his hands was the melted snow, which slipped through his fingers.

Everything in front of me disappeared like a bubble, and the rest was empty.

"Wizards who fail to practice magic will not and cannot be saved." Veronica slowly walked behind Ryan: "You know why those ice sculptures will not be put away in Sky Castle, nor will they be saved." Will it be buried after being melted? Because that is the only proof that those ice witches have existed in this world."

"This may be the final destination of the caster. If you stop practicing, your body will be gradually eroded by magic. If you practice hard, you may have problems at any time and become like this, or be corrupted by chaos." Veronica said leisurely: "So sometimes don't think that our liking for luxurious life is an unbearable addiction, because we may become what you see at any time, and there will be nothing left."

"...Sorry." Ryan was a little sad when he was said, and he gave Veronica a hug: "I don't know...I mean I will cherish you, I swear~"

The man's performance was in the witch's arms, and Veronica pretended to be cute and accepted Ryan's hug, indicating that she accepted it.

Heh~ man! Veronica raised a triumphant smile on her face, and secretly made a "V" gesture to Teresa behind Ryan: Mission accomplished! Favorability is UPUP!

Teresa crossed her arms angrily, and answered Veronica's provocation with her eyes: Hurry up! Well it's my turn!
