Chapter 2212 Neverwinter City

"Gaina is right! Dr. Vader even kills the mythical Styx ancient dragon casually, so why should we be afraid of ordinary poisonous dragons!"

Hilde smiled and helped her best friend.

"Hearing what you said, I hope that the poisonous dragon will come to die quickly, so as not to be too boring during the voyage." The frost giant stroked his thick beard and smiled: "Brother Joan, you think so too, right?"

Qiao An was so angry that he was speechless, and suspected that these three bad guys who were afraid of chaos in the world deliberately used himself as a "tool man"!

Joan still has a lot of experimental data to sort out, and two papers to write. He doesn't feel the journey is boring at all, so he doesn't have the time to bully the poisonous dragon for fun!

Perhaps Goddess Hell heard his voice and secretly protected the "Magic Ice Boat". The voyage was really smooth and smooth, and it arrived at the port of Hell Island as scheduled.

As soon as he boarded the pier, the warm sea breeze blew in his face, Joan felt refreshed, and at the same time noticed something strange.

"Gaina, the weather on the island is warm, and the vegetation seems to be very lush, which is completely inconsistent with the climate that the North Pole should have. Could it be that there are also 'Ancient Trees of Life' taking root here, opening up the 'Eternal Spring Barrier' to block the wind and snow from the outside? "

The Winter Witch smiled mysteriously, leaning close to his ear and whispering the secret of the Isle of Hell.

"There is no 'Ancient Tree of Life' on the island, but the Styx Temple houses an even more powerful artifact than the 'Ancient Tree of Life', which can suppress the polar snowstorm and prevent cold air from invading the Isle of Hell."

"What kind of artifact is so powerful?!" Joan asked curiously.

Gaina hesitated for a moment, and finally made up her mind.

"Forget it, you're not an outsider anyway, so it's okay to tell you." She lowered her voice and said softly to Joan, "That artifact is called...'The Ring of Winter'."

Joan still wanted to get to the bottom of it, but Winter Witch didn't want to talk more. Standing in front of the magnificent city gate, she turned around and opened her arms, looking at Joan and Clark with a smile on her face.

"Friends from afar, welcome to Neverwinter!"

...

"Neverwinter City", the capital of "Nation of Mist", is located near the southern pier of Hull Island, and there are more than ten satellite towns around it.

There are about 20,000 permanent residents in the city, most of whom are witches, knights, administrators and their families of the "Church of Hull".

The power center of the "Church of Hull", the Styx Temple, is located in the very center of the city.

Under the guidance of Gaina and Hilde, Joan rode the Tara beast along the clean and spacious streets, and came to the square where the temple is located. Looking at the towering temple made of green ice, he couldn't help being in awe, and quickly turned over and jumped off. mounts.

Climbing up the shining steps, Joan and his party entered the cathedral decorated with buttresses and flying buttresses. A small chapel.

Hilde's mother, the current pope of the "Church of Hull" and the chief witch of the Styx Temple, Ms. Farah, received two distinguished guests from the south here.

Ms. Farah's appearance is 60% or 70% similar to Hilde, with subtle wrinkles on her forehead and the corners of her eyes, making this beautiful and noble legendary witch appear majestic yet friendly.

Joan had heard Gaina gossip about Ms. Farah's private life. The Chief Witch, who is over fifty years old, is currently single. She has been married three times and has eight children with three husbands, all of whom are excellent.

The four boys were trained as "glacial knights" according to local customs, and the three older daughters lived up to their mother's expectations and were promoted to high-ranking witches.

Only Hilde, the youngest and most beloved daughter of her mother, has an unusual character and talent since she was a child, and is more suitable to be a knight than a witch.

Ms. Farah respects her daughter's wishes and allows her to choose an extraordinary career according to her preferences. In hindsight, her tolerance and encouragement have been richly rewarded.

Hilde passed the knight qualification examination when she was less than ten years old, and now she is only twenty years old, and she has already become the best Glacier Knight among her peers. In time, she is likely to become the first Glacier Knight since its establishment. Female Knight Commander.

While Hilde took his traveling companions to visit his mother, he also met Ms. Farah's most trusted advisor—the "Ice Prophet" Cassandra who had provided consulting services to four generations of chief witches.

Ms. Cassandra, like her title, is a high-level ice element creature, and she looks like a beautiful woman carved out of a whole piece of pure and transparent ice.

Her eyes shone with silver flames, and a hazy mist overflowed from her body, as if she was covered with a layer of mysterious gauze. Her legs turned into icicles, closely connected with the frozen "element pool".

Cassandra usually lives in the "Ice Elemental Realm", and only when Ms. Farah calls her, will she appear from the "Ice Elemental Pool" in the chapel.

The "Ice Elemental Pool" looks like a large bathtub. The circular outer wall is made of blue ice. The pool is filled with cold ice element essence, but it is not completely frozen, only a thin layer of ice floats on the surface of the pool.

When Ms. Farah introduced her consultant to the visitors, she emphasized that Cassandra was good at divination: by observing the palm prints left by a person on the ice of the elemental pool, one can get a glimpse of their future fortune.

In fact, Ms. Cassandra's title of "prophet" is not self-proclaimed. She is an observer of "chaos" and "order", and can occasionally foresee a certain stage in the future, which power in the world will be dominant.

If the scope of the prophecy is narrowed to an individual, it is just a divination of someone's recent bad luck, which is a piece of cake for this "Ice Prophet".

At this time, Clark suddenly remembered that when he was in "Wandering Canyon", Amanda, the witch mother-in-law, had divination Joan, and the result was not optimistic.

Later, he and Joan successfully broke through the barrier, forcing Granny Amanda to reluctantly agree to let them pass through the canyon, but she still solemnly told the two of them when they parted. Give Joan a divination to find out the source of the ominous omen.

"Brother, do you still remember Granny Amanda's advice?" The Frost Giant asked Joan softly, "It happens that Ms. Cassandra is here, why don't you ask her to help you with your fortune."

Joan also remembered this incident, nodded, and then told Ms. Farah and the "Ice Prophet" about Granny Amanda's entrustment.

"Dr. Vader, in fact, long before your arrival, I have already received a magic message from Sister Amanda. She specifically mentioned divination in the letter, so as soon as I know that you are entering the city today, I will send the card in advance. Sandra is here."

Ms. Farah smiled, but there was a faint shadow in her eyes, as if she was a little disturbed by the warning in Amanda's letter.
