Chapter Two Hundred and Ninety-Eight the Princess of Ice Calendula

In the underground garden, thousands of lotus flowers are like breathing, the light and shade change, and countless light spots float up during the period, illuminating this dark world.

The two witches stood in this sea of ​​flowers, and the strong magic power drowned them like sand and wind, surging from time to time, and falling from time to time.

The splendid blue, the magical purple, its color is like quicksand, forming a peaceful and crazy, weak and vast, dim and radiant change in this world.

Standing quietly in it, Roland Hill's hair floated and fell with the magic quicksand. Her eyes were slightly closed, one hand was slightly raised forward, and countless tiny airflows passed through the fingers, blowing in all directions. , the entire underworld rises and falls in its murmured incantations.

"Take the blue of the sea, the purple of the nine heavens, and the splendid drooping, like the scenery of the rosy sky..." The voice was ethereal and distant, like a sigh, and like a song, which was shocking.

...

"The feelings of regret at the end, stop the heart of the sky, swim in the sun of the child, play in the tranquility of the yin, and become a flawless thought."

The long incantation was like a sacrificial text, and it was like a congratulatory speech. With the arrival of the last words, the magical light spots in the sky finally descended one by one, and finally returned to the flower buds to be released in the underground world.

Finally, the last words fell, the world became quiet, time seemed to be blurred here, and it stopped temporarily.

A magnificent dream lotus blooming slowly.

It is no longer as fragile and ethereal as before, and it is no longer as distant as the other world, but people can clearly perceive the dreamy characteristics of the circulation.

The serene blue of a beautiful dream, the demonic purple of a nightmare, and the two kinds of lotus flowers of dreams bloom in thousands, embellishing the entire underground world.

"So, it worked."

Opening his eyes, looking at the lush sea of ​​flowers in front of him, Roland Hill also felt a touch of satisfaction and pride in his heart.

Let people achieve dreams and experience dreams that reality cannot achieve and reach.

Let people experience nightmares and perceive possible crises to temper themselves.

Dreams are the continuation of reality, but reality is helpless, many restrictions and rules, people can only view the world in a narrow corner, and inevitably fall into paranoia and shortsightedness.

It would be nice if there were dreams and fantasies, just like wings spread out at night, overlooking the mountains, rivers and seas, wandering freely between the sky and the earth.

It is cold in the middle of Haoge's frenzy; I see the abyss in the sky. Seeing nothing in all eyes; being saved in hopelessness.

"Thank you Lorraine." A rare agility and joy finally flashed in Tehua's nebula-like eyes.

"It's alright, I just did an ordinary thing and apologized to you for Keti. She used to be impulsive." Roland Hill smiled and looked at the witch.

"But, I'm really grateful." Tehua squatted down slowly and picked up two blue and purple lotus flowers.

"Don't worry, I will help you realize your dreams." Said, the witch held two flowers in her palms, showing a rare smile, like a dream.

The Court of the Ice Palace, the Valley of the Moon.

Now is the season of filming. Although the sky is dark, the ground is still dotted with many fluorescent ice crystal trees, reflecting the streets and cities, so as not to fall into absolute darkness.

In the past, although there were cities, small towns, gardens, etc. in this valley, because it was in the film season, there were always not many people coming out for activities.

But today is unusual. A small group of people gathered on both sides of the street, and a team of floats was slowly moving forward.

This is a newlyweds having a wedding.

"Who is that, I just woke up from hibernation this morning." An ice elf stood in the crowd and asked curiously.

"It's the young lady of the Sileni family and the son of the Tixiu family." Someone recognized the silver snow lily coat of arms and the blue ibis coat of arms on the float.

"These two families..." The ice elf youth pondered which one was holding the wedding.

"It's Irene, who ran away from home back then, and Palos, who has been ill for a long time." His companion didn't wait for him to come up with his name, so he just said the name.

"It was these two people. It caused a big disturbance at the time. Even Duke Callender asked a question."

"I didn't expect it to come back now."

"Unfortunately, the two people who were optimistic about them back then are no longer as beautiful as they used to be."

"Eileen's reputation is ruined, and it's hard to say whether Palos will survive this year."

"Oh, things are not people..."

Although there were not many nobles or friends who participated in the congratulations, the wedding did not have too many accidents after all, and ended in a very bland and low-impact way.

In a small remote hall in the valley city, under the auspices of the ritual official, the two exchanged vows under the big tree, drank the wine made of blueberry and red pomegranate, and then witnessed by the elders of the two parties. Complete the wedding.

It was late at night when I returned to my new home.

The room was dotted with warm orange chandeliers, and Irene helped Palos sit on the bed, then wiped his cheeks with a warm towel.

"I'm very tired today, you need to rest early." She whispered to the husband.

"Well." Palos opened his tired eyes and nodded.

The two then fell asleep slowly, the night wind blowing through the curtains, and the peripheral light from the window dyed the room a cold frost color.

Holding the slightly cold wrist, Irene looked at the ceiling, thinking

In the past, I recalled how I met Palos for the first time in the past.

In fact, at that time, she did not focus on the young man, but simply glanced at it.

I don't want to, but finally came together.

She sighed in her heart, then closed her eyes and quietly sensed the breathing of the person beside her pillow. Seeing that the other person gradually calmed down, she gradually felt relieved, and then went into a peaceful sleep.

When Ai Tessie and her party were about to grow mushrooms in 'Scalante', they finally received an invitation letter from the Court of Ice Palace.

"It's amazing, it seems that the big guys changed their minds overnight and are willing to see you." Anton Xueni commented a little unexpectedly when she handed the letter to Athey.

"Let's go then, and finally don't have to stay here." Athey let out a long-lost cheer, and the surrounding forest elves also showed happy expressions.

"Oh, did I not entertain you well? Aitesi actually dislikes it so much, woohoo." An Dongxueni pretended to be sad.

"Ahem, that's not the case, I just want to see more places in the ice elf country." Athey hurriedly comforted her partner.

During this boring time, An Dongxue Ni often came to her and chatted with her, and the two of them became good friends who talked about everything.

"Okay, okay, that's what I'm saying." Seeing Ai Tessi's hurried appearance, the ice elf eldest young lady quickly laughed again, and her silver-blue hair trembled slightly, and the white collarbone twitched. slip on.

Although it is an extremely cold place, the ice elves who are extraordinary people don't care. They have long been accustomed to such an environment, and it is still very common to wear skirts at minus tens of degrees on weekdays.

"Come with me, this time I will be your guide to lead you to the heart of the Ice Palace at the top of Beiyao Hanshan."

That afternoon, the team of envoys set off, and along the way, Aitesi finally saw the real life scene in the ice elf country.

Thousands of miles of permafrost like a lonely desert, warm cities under transparent ice, gardens and fields hidden in valleys, and smog forests covered by thousands of miles of snow.

As the team progressed, the surrounding environment became colder and darker, and the sky became darker and darker, until it reached the lightless extreme night.

Under the vast starry night, huge mountain peaks lie majestically at the end of the earth, and the snow-white palaces are built along the mountains.

"That is the North Yaohan Mountain. Now the center of the Ice Palace is on the top of the mountain, where the representatives of the three major dukes are resident." An Dongxueni introduced this way.

"It's finally here."

Three days later, at the top of Cold Mountain.

Roland Hill and Tehua sat on the top of the high palace tower, and the two looked at the meeting and meeting between the envoy representing the forest elves and the seven seats of the ice palace representing the ice elves in the square below.

After a period of polite and necessary etiquette procedures, the two parties finally entered the discussion hall and began to communicate and discuss the purpose of this visit.

"We have indeed investigated the cold disaster, and we also need to cooperate with you."

After hearing the request described by Athey, the three ice elf dukes talked to each other for a few words, and they soon reached an agreement and approved the matter.

After that, Aitexie talked about the idea of ​​​​completing the 'Ye Zhishi', and this matter did not encounter much resistance. It is a pity that even the ice elves, the 'Ye Zhishi' preserved today is incomplete, and After the reference of the forest elves, there are still 2 sections left that cannot be filled.

"Even so, there is a lot to gain." A scholar of the forest elves sighed.

After the big things were negotiated, some supporting staff slowly and detailedly implemented the details, and the three dukes also invited Princess Athey and her party to attend the grand dinner in the Ice Palace Court.

More than 2,000 years have passed since the ice elves left the Western Continent. Even for elves, it has taken many generations. Nowadays, many ice elves are unfamiliar and curious about forest elves.

At the banquet, many aristocratic girls among the ice elves showed their affection to the members of the envoy, and wanted to learn more about the stories and legends from the outside world from the same kind of people thousands of miles away.

Are the descendants of the Mercury Dynasty still alive? Are elves still in conflict with humans now? Do wars break out often? What caused the changes in the world more than 20 years ago, and does it still have an impact today?

All kinds of problems exposed the curiosity of the younger generation of ice elves to the outside world, but for these, the elders of the ice elves remained silent, neither eager to inquire, nor took the initiative to stop them.

Erin's new home.

In the early morning, Irene made breakfast for Palos, and helped him comb his body, then came to sit on the bench in the courtyard and rested a little.

"Did something major happen recently?" The puppet sitting on the bench slowly floated up, looking at the peak of the cold mountain in the distance, feeling that there were a lot of extraordinary people who gathered magic power there.

"It's Aitesi and the others who finally arrived at the Court of the Ice Palace." Irene recalled the rumors she heard today.

"I heard that I met with the three dukes at the top of the mountain, and negotiated a lot of things, and things went very smoothly."

"Nowadays, many ice elves are curious about the outside world, and many come out of their homes to see those forest elves."

"Is that so." Yi Xue looked at the top of the mountain in the distance.

"Irene still has to take care of Palos, right?" She turned around slowly.

"Yes." Seeing Yi Xue Gelin speak like this, Irene was probably aware of the other party's thoughts.

"I might

Get out of here for a while. "

Sure enough, Irene thought to herself, it was indeed her own responsibility to drag this adult down.

"No problem, go and do your work. Palos and I are also safe here."

Yi Xue looked at the ice elf girl sitting on the bench below, or the current newlyweds, with a hint of tenderness in her eyes.

"It's okay, Palos will get better slowly." She so comforted Erin.

"Perhaps you still don't know how unusual this child is, Lorraine. Many things that ordinary people can't do are not a problem for her."

"Even if the sky and the earth are overturned and the ocean currents are reversed, I think, as long as she is determined to do it, she can always achieve it."

"Sometimes it's hard to understand where this trust comes from, but I can't help thinking about it. Maybe this is her charm, and that's why I can always find many special people around her."

"Although I am currently a ghost, I was also an ice elf before my death. Now that I recall many regrets in the past, I think it is time to understand."

"Wait for my good news, Irene." Yixue stretched out the little hand of the puppet, gently stroked Irene's forehead, comforting the slightly sad companion, and then slowly rose and disappeared in the starry night. Sky.

"Master Yixue." Irene looked at the invisible streamer in the sky, and folded her hands together and prayed silently for it.

As the Sileni family, who inherited the festival, how could they not know the name of the last princess of the ice elf royal family, Isegrin.

It's just that the time separated is too far away, and people dare not expect too much. She is afraid that after the real inquiry, it will be a disappointing answer. She has never asked for confirmation, and she doesn't even want to test it.

Isegrine Ice St. Ingol

Known as the "Princess of Glacier", it is said that when she was born, the World Tree bloomed for a rare time. The pure white ice-blue flowers made birds and fairies cheer for it. This was also the last time the World Tree bloomed.

When she was very young, she was favored by the elf king at that time, and the elf nobles of the other two races often came to visit the growing little princess.

It can be said that even though she is not an adult, this princess has received thousands of extraordinary blessings and hundreds of prayers for protection. Queen's successor.

But unfortunately, the times have changed. In the late First Era, the Mercury Dynasty's offensive became more and more intense, and the scale of the decisive battle between the two sides continued to expand. Beasts, mountains and mountains of corpses, the blade of slaughter never stops.

At first, the elves were able to take advantage of the geographical advantage and elite soldiers to resist the army of undead and snipe the wizards in the hidden night fog. However, as the war went on, many famous heroes gradually fell on the battlefield. This side starts to go downhill.

And the real turning point was the ‘Battle of the Forest of Flames’.

In that battle, the elite of the forest elves, the 160,000 jungle guards, were defeated by the 340,000 phalanx bloodthirsty corpses led by the 'Heart Killing Witch'. The elves, who were originally good at forest fighting, were only the size of an arm, and they gnawed wildly. , When the action is extremely fast, and the claws are poisonous undead creatures, the bow and arrow are almost ineffective, the blade is difficult to stab, and the beaten loses their fighting spirit.

And these bloodthirsty corpses of the phalanx, marching very fast, basically did not give the jungle guards time to retreat, and drowned them frantically.

After the war, the jungle guards who were not completely dead in the forest were pierced by the branches and stood in the forest like benchmarks, screaming in pain and bleeding to death.

In the end, the forest was engulfed in flames, and the dead jungle guards were all burnt, which was the pain of the corpses being tortured.

In this battle, the Ice Elf King who came to rescue died in battle, the Silver Key Knights of the Silver Elf were wiped out, and the morale of the three elves suffered a huge blow and began to shrink in an all-round way.

Shortly thereafter, the Mercury Dynasty officially announced that the First Era would end and the Second Era would begin. So far, there was no voice of opposition or challenge in the world.

The three tribes of elves who fell into despair began to look for various miracles or revelations, pinning their hopes on various things, and at that time, the 'Princess Glacier' who was expected by countless people at that time was slowly pushed to the front, even if that When she was just an adult, she had never been in contact with various national affairs.

And this is the beginning of the tragedy in the future.
