Chapter 218

This creature is covered with slender and thick white hair, has dark skin, and is more than ten meters tall.

No creature can be used to describe it. This creature would have been an absolute ferocious beast in any era, but at this moment, it was frozen in the ice sculpture like a work of art.

"Oson, do you think this thing is a 'snow monster'?"

Elsa stared at the creature in the ice dumbfounded, and couldn't help but ask.

"Maybe...but..."

Orson said this and turned his eyes elsewhere.

At this moment, there are several ice sculptures like this in this cave.

"The number of snow monsters...is there more than one?"

Orson did not use flames to melt the ice. He did not know whether ordinary flames could melt the ice left by the gods, and he did not want to risk opening Pandora's box.

"We'd better leave these things alone."

Orson said this and looked towards the center of the cave.

A deep well is located there, and the mouth of the well is slightly glowing with blue light, as if to hint that there is something inside.

Chapter 20: The World in the Well

The three of them met several more villages outside the snowfield. Relying on Lianka's social skills, the three of them also obtained similar information. However, during the journey deep into the snowfield, the three of them met a second-year student. other students.

After a brief period of discomfort in the past few days, the top students of the Imperial Academy showed off their extremely strong abilities, whether through the simplest survival skills, social interaction, or forcibly stealing supplies from beasts. It's a good strategy.

After the supplies were sufficient, everyone wanted to complete the mission as soon as possible.

Most of the first-year students survive near the villages outside the snowfield. They can use their abilities to help the villagers hunt in exchange for other daily necessities. When the second-year students saw the Leete trio deep in the snowfield, All of them looked surprised.

The day before yesterday, the Little trio saw Manuel, who was also in Class 2, Class 1, and a colleague of Orson and Olivia in the student union. In addition to him, there were also some companions traveling with him.

Although his social circle was different from that of Orson and others, on the whole, there was no conflict of interest, and there was no conflict of interest. On the contrary, there was a cooperative relationship, so he took care to share the information he had obtained with the three of Leeteuk, and by the way, the three of them were together. Taken deep into the snowfield.

A big reason for doing this is because the strength of the three Li Teuk is already stronger than many second-year students. Since they can do it, Li Te and others should not be in danger.

Besides, even if there is danger, nothing will happen if there is a terrifying Lena to protect him. In doing so, he can become a beautiful man and it will also make it easier to have a good relationship with the future Duke of Antica in the future.

Yes, after Orson left the family, Little became the only son of Lucius and the only heir to the Duchy of Antica.

people.

As the sole heir to the Duchy of Aragon, he intends to win over Little in order to gain a firm foothold in the future empire.

"Senior Manuel, haven't you seen the whereabouts of Orson and the others in the past few days?" Li Te followed the team and walked up to Manuel and asked.

"Well, there is no information about them." Manuel nodded. "The snowfield is actually not as big as we thought. At least in the past ten days, I have met many classmates, but there is no information about Orson, Olivia and Elsa."

"But I remember that they obviously set off later than you."

"After all, that's Orson." Manuel said with a wry smile. "Junior Li Te, you compare us to your brother, but you are looking down on us a bit."

"Here we are, a basin in the mountains." Manuel suddenly stopped and pointed to a building in the distance.

The building is generally made of pine and birch, which are native to the snowy plains. The overall scale is far different from the cathedral in Saint Laurent City. It is only the size of a city church with a population of about 10,000 in the empire.

However, it is a miracle that there is a building of this size in Lapland.

But at this moment, there was no one in front of the building, not even a sign of anyone camping.

"...It seems we are the first ones to arrive here." Manuel said with a sigh.

"Then Orson and the others..."

"I don't know, but let's go in and take a look first." Manuel waved behind him, gesturing for everyone to follow.

…

On the other side, Orson stood at the mouth of the well. Looking down from the mouth of the well, the inside seemed as deep as the galaxy and the universe. He could not see how deep it was, nor did he know the specific situation below.

He took the torch in his hand and then threw it down.

However, after throwing it away, there was no response.

Orson used another flare and entered it towards the well. However, within five meters of the well entrance, the light source was instantly lost.

Looking at Olivia and Elsa beside him, Orson shook his head.

"I'm not sure about the situation below. Maybe it's some kind of restriction, maybe it's some kind of mechanism. In short, there's no light, no sound, nothing."

"Isn't this very consistent with the setting in the legend?" Olivia folded her hands in front of her chest, thought for a while, and then said.

She knocked on the edge of the well.

"Perhaps the frozen world is originally silent and lightless?"

"Maybe that god lives here, what should I say? Do you want to go down and have a look?"

Olivia suggested.

Elsa on the side suddenly looked puzzled.

"Olivia, are you crazy or am I crazy? Magic in a place like this will be swallowed up. Don't you know what risks there are if we go down hastily?"

"Of course I know, but if you want to get closer to the truth, sometimes you have to take such risks, right?"

"But... this is just a test organized by the college. We need to..."

While the two were arguing, Orson, who had been staring deeply into the well, suddenly spoke:

"For us, it's just a test, but for some people, maybe it's not."

Saying this, without waiting for Olivia and Elsa to respond, Orson jumped directly into the well.

"Orson!"

Both Olivia and Elsa subconsciously called Orson's name.

Both of them were in a very panic mood now.

Even though Olivia suggested going down to take a look, she didn't expect Orson to jump in without any backup measures.

And Elsa's heart was tense.

"Elsa, you stay up there, I'll go down to find Orson. If the two of us disappear... let's not talk about this." Olivia said this and jumped down with Orson.

Seeing the two of them being swallowed up by the darkness in the well, Elsa stamped her feet anxiously and then jumped in.

Orson was falling in the darkness, feeling weightless. He had not yet thought of using magic to buffer himself from the pressure.

He is also gambling.

A god that is sincerely believed by its believers, a god that does not allow its followers to take advantage of its force, and a god that does not give or ask for anything from its followers.

This kind of god will not set a killing move where it can be contacted.

And the reality was just as Orson expected.

The falling speed in the second half of the journey became slower and slower. Until the end, Orson even felt

I felt that I was being held up in mid-air by something, and I was slowly falling.

And all this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Orson's vision also expanded rapidly in the next second, and the darkness turned into light.

This is a crystal-clear cave. Although it is still cold, it is far less bitter than the outside world.

The cave is surrounded by various colored crystals, and the light source from nowhere causes them to reflect colorful colors.

If the darkness just now was a desperate journey, the scene Orson sees now is like the dawn after darkness.

Full of life.

Chapter 21: Gods full of bad taste

The slow descent continued for several minutes until Orson's feet touched the ground.

At the same time, Olivia and Elsa also saw this beautiful sight, and both of them were so surprised that they were speechless.

"Does it look good?" At this time, a young female voice sounded.

Everyone followed the line of sight and looked over.

A girl with ice-blue short hair was sitting in the ice coffin. She was wearing a thin dress and seemed completely unfazed by the severe cold around her.

The girl has a beautiful face, and her delicate facial features are not inferior to those of Olivia and Elsa present, but her figure is too thin and thin.

Seeing that there were still outsiders in the cave, the three of them immediately became vigilant. Then Orson looked at the girl in front of them and spoke slowly:

"It's very beautiful here. I never thought there would be such a scene under the snow-capped mountains."

Then he got right to the point.

"Are you the hero in the legend of Lapland who defeated the snow monster and saved the people of Lapland from the fire and water?"

"I didn't remember that I had such a beautiful title, but are the snow monsters you are talking about the ones I froze on top to prevent this place from being invaded?" The other party said this, his ice blue eyes slightly twitching. He looked down, as if he was thinking about something.

"Yes." Orson nodded.

"However, they seem to be still frozen and have no effect at guarding this place." Elsa added at this time.

"It shouldn't be..." Hearing Elsa say this, the girl frowned and raised her eyes to look at the three of them.

"None of the three of you has the strength above the ninth level. In this case, the guards should take action, unless one of you makes those guards feel shocked."

Saying this, the girl shook her head.

"Forget it, maybe I misplaced the restrictions I set a thousand years ago and turned the contract into a crime and punishment."

Then, she stood up from the ice coffin.

"My name is Ostia. I should have done all the things you mentioned earlier."

She moved her body, and then her feet without shoes stood on the ice.

"However, you come here because you have something to do with me, right? As agreed in advance, I have been frozen here for thousands of years. I don't know about the outside world, and I have an agreement with others and cannot leave here, so if you want to ask I'm out to help, that's not possible."

"Okay, we understand." Orson nodded, and then said: "You can think of us as folklorists. We learned about your existence through local rumors among the Laplanders, and then learned about your location. After searching here for a while, I found this place..."

"So, you are just here for a trip?"

"Of course not. We are prepared to learn from your mouth what happened that year to support the beliefs of the Laplanders."

"Oh? From my mouth? It's interesting. If I remember correctly, you humans are the best at fabricating and tampering with history, right? Does it matter what I say? Even if I tell you truthfully what happened back then, wouldn't you? Will you tell it truthfully?"

Ostia said this with full sarcasm in her tone.

"But, Lord Ostia..." Elsa retorted at this time: "Since we are all here, please have faith in our determination."

"..." Ostia turned her head and looked at Elsa. She was silent for a long time, and then asked: "Royal family?"

"That's right." Elsa nodded. "I am Elsa, the second daughter of Odysseus, the current patriarch of the Lancaster family in the human empire."

"Haha, are you planning to scare me by reporting such a long paragraph?" Ostia smiled, but there was no emotion at all in his ice-blue eyes.

"Of course not." Elsa shook her head. "I just think that since Lord Ostia recognizes the family characteristics of the royal family, you should know my ancestors, so I want to report to you, Emperor

The country is still under the governance of the family. "

"I don't care who governs the empire." Ostia curled her lips.

At this time, Orson, who was standing aside, also spoke:

"Lord Ostia, as you can see, the severe cold and wind and frost in Lapland have caused the people you previously protected to stay away from this area. The reason why we are here is not just to investigate something that can deceive others. , what we want to know is exactly the truth you have.”

"Because only in this way, combined with the legends of local people, can we have a clear understanding of what happened here thousands of years ago."

"Okay, you want to know, right?" Ostia nodded after hearing this.

"But how much price will it cost to trade with the gods? I think you should be mentally prepared, right?"

"certainly."

Orson said this and looked at Ostia with firm eyes.

"Okay." She nodded, sat next to the ice coffin, then crossed her legs, folded her hands, and tapped her finger lightly on her arm, thinking.

"Well, I've been here alone for so long. Most of the time I sealed myself in an ice coffin and slept. It's so boring. If a wooden stick hadn't hit my head today, I wouldn't have known anyone was here. ”
