Chapter 1057 Frozen Castle
The two female explorers who claim to be pure-blooded half-dragons don't seem to have a good impression of mages, and it's quite obvious. However, after getting along for a while, the other party may have discovered that our group of people have various subtle tempers towards them. The rejection and indifference at the beginning finally subsided a lot, and I also discovered that they only had a bad impression of us, and there was no real hostility. This naturally made it easy to get closer to each other again. This is a good development.
In fact, I think I shouldn’t lie about what kind of mage I am in the first place. Just making up an identity for a self-driving tour is probably better than that...
I saw all kinds of interesting tools used by the natives of this world, including the rope the other party used when coming down from the floating island. It was indeed a living plant, but it was made using alchemy and druid magic. Catalyzed artificial creatures, according to Sakina, this kind of thing is a must-have for explorers and other people who often need to work in the field. After getting off the floating island, they cut off the newly grown end of the rope. It was about ten meters down, and then the broken part was wrapped with a strong-smelling medicine-impregnated cloth strip, re-coiled into a plate and put back in the bag. It is said that as long as you wait a few hours, the rope will be able to grow roots again: as long as it is not Used on sandy soil, the roots grown from this rope are strong enough to bear the weight of two or three adult men wearing heavy armor. It is truly an amazing magical creation.
Although the effect was evaluated by Sandora and Pandora as a primitive tool, the creativity was quite powerful.
The floating island landed right next to the only big river on the prairie. After discovering this fact, both Sakina and Sona did not hide their surprise and immediately ran to take a bath. By the way, they added that they had already There was not much water left in the bag, so they attracted Qian Qian and a few younger ones. Although I really wanted to take a mandarin duck bath with my wife, it was a pity that after adding two half-dragon girls, this It was impossible, so not only did Monina personally cover the entire river with an invisible barrier, Bingtis also rushed the only three big men in the army (counting Uncle Kense and 123) There is strict security behind the mound two kilometers away. I feel quite aggrieved: Needless to say, the good old uncle Kense. Even if 123 is a gentleman at heart, why should he be so strictly guarded? In the end, even I was implicated.
Bingtis' explanation is that her main purpose is to prevent me...
"Don't think I don't know. You and Dingdang have taken baths together several times. The hunting range starts from creatures more than ten centimeters high. The scope of influence includes birds and beasts. You should be used as a defense against anything," Bingtis didn't feel guilty at all when he said this. Finally, he patted his chest and said, "By the way, I have to be careful myself. It might not be surprising if I get captured by you at any time. I am still an innocent and innocent girl..." I slurped blood. He almost burst out: "How dare you pat your conscience and say no to this?"
Bingtis patted his 32d and looked down. He gestured at the unscientific size: "The conscience is too far away to be photographed."
Before I could react, girl Jill next to me suddenly lowered her head and looked at her chest. When she raised her head, she had a look of grief and anger on her face: "If I hadn't died early, I could still have grown!"
I instantly thought, Bingtis is indeed a strange flower blooming in the shameless world. Her 32d directly killed the girl Gil who was so flat. I patted Ji Shanshan's shoulder sympathetically and comforted: "It's okay. At least this proves that your conscience is relatively close."
Ji Shanshan looked at all of us resolutely: "Sooner or later, I will find a way to get rid of your slavery..."
"Guacri! Daddy hugs me!" Suddenly a cheerful call came from the side, interrupting Ji Shanshan's ambition. Little Bubble appeared directly in front of everyone with fresh water vapor all over his body. His hair was still wet and he crawled into my arms. It seemed that he had had enough water play after taking a bath (the latter was the main reason). Ji Shanshan quickly poured some towels, milk and children's skin care products from her pocket (I doubt whether Little Bubble would need these things). Seeing this scene, I was sure that this fool could only be a Babysitter.
The distance of two kilometers is actually very close. Little Bubble must have used her elusive talent to dodge here. We led the little guy back to the river and found Qianqian pulling two half-dragon girls with weird looks. Mumbling something. Wait and take a closer look. It turned out that the girl was explaining how to use skin cream...
Qian Qian is really a familiar person who can get along with anyone unconditionally, but both Sakina and Sona seem to be extremely troubled. But Qian Qian's smiling face also prevented them from getting angry. They could only roll their eyes in boredom. Fortunately, a few of us appeared and finally diverted Qian Qian's attention away. The overly energetic Qian Qian beast began to hang on my arm. Dangling up and down: "Arjun, Arjun, let me tell you, the water in the river is cold, but it's quite comfortable!"
"We're going to camp here, you can do whatever you want. The ancient gardens are of little value to us," Sakina shook the remaining water droplets from her hair, "Tomorrow this place should meet the mother continent - by the way, you don't know how. Do you plan to stay here? The Ancient Garden will meet Lake Dorim in five days, which is your next stop?"
How do I know what Lake Dorim is... Well, she said that this place will intersect with the mother continent tomorrow? So fast?
I remembered that she had mentioned something called a "periodic calendar" before. It seemed that the locals here used it to judge the intersection time of space. If I said that, it would save me trouble. Tomorrow I would be in the same position as my sister and the others. In the same world, I don’t have to study how to crack the rules of time and space here. I glanced at Sandora, and the other party muttered depressingly through the mental connection: "Well, in fact, I have already figured out the space structure of this place just now, and also found it. If I know the real coordinates of your sisters and the others, all your work will be in vain."
I thought to myself that Sandora's efficiency was quite high, so I smiled at her and said, "Forget it, just wait one more day."
The "camp" that Sakina mentioned was actually just a rather simple tent. Their huge backpacks looked like they could find anything, including a large piece of coarse cloth sewn with rough techniques, a pile of ropes and Wooden pegs and strong long rattans found from nearby hilly areas can be used to build a tent that can accommodate two people to shelter from the wind and rain. After having a temporary shelter, they stood in front of the tent. The grass and trees were cleared in the open space, a bonfire was lit, and their hands and feet were quick and skillful: it was obvious that they had been living this kind of wild camping life almost every day. The experience and technology are extremely sophisticated.
"Hey, aren't you preparing a camp? Or are so many people planning to sleep in the open?" Sakina saw that a large group of us were still doing nothing. Some were playing cards on the grass, and some were leading a group of little guys to run around wildly. , the remaining two or three people were watching them prepare the camp, and they were suddenly puzzled. She pointed to the sky. The sun is already close to the horizon. "Let me remind you that although there are no wild beasts in the ancient garden, it is still very cold at night. You don't plan to let your children suffer the cold with you, do you?"
As she said this, she suddenly remembered something. He looked at us suspiciously: "By the way, I don't seem to have seen you bring any luggage at all. People who are traveling are so empty-handed? Are you really travelers?"
I thought about it and asked carefully: "Hey, have you heard of space magic?"
The other party was stunned and looked at me in surprise: "Huh? So you practice space magic? That's quite powerful. You should be quite famous. Why did you become a wandering mage? But I have only heard of space magic. This Planting magic seems to be..."
"It's easy to explain if there's space magic." I felt very relaxed. I thought that if there was space magic in this world, I wouldn't have to explain a lot of things. Then I didn't care what else the other party wanted to say. I turned around and waved to Qian Qian: "Girl, it's getting late. Now, prepare a place to stay.”
I remembered that Qian Qian’s personal space was just as messy as my sister’s. Based on her outlook on life with three bedrooms and one living room, this girl definitely packed a travel residence into the mess. Planet colony silos and stuff like that.
Qian Qian is teaching Little Pao Pao how to make garlands. Hearing this, he waved to the distance without looking back, and was caught in a burst of dazzling white light. A giant silver-white creature that blinded people and dogs appeared in front of us.
The highest point of this thing is hundreds of meters high. It consists of a huge main building and several magnificent classical towers. All the buildings are cleverly and naturally integrated together, and they are natural. The thick and simple city walls are covered with cement that will never melt. Snow, the blue mysterious light shines on the top of each tower, and on the top of the tallest building, a small crystal exudes the brightest light, enveloped in the dense blue light, as if embedded in the tower The magic eye on it - it is exactly the same as the Dragon God Castle where Lin lives, but it is made of ice and snow.
...This is the "snow sculpture" that Pandora, a short winter melon, spent most of the day building when she first went to the God Realm. It was an ice and snow castle. For a while, it was placed on the outskirts of Shadow City, but I don't know when it became shallow. Stuffed it back into his own personal space.
For a moment, needles could be heard all around. Everyone, including myself, was dumbfounded. They turned their heads and looked around, then shouted embarrassedly: "Hey, I threw it by the wrong one..."
Little Bubble cheered and ran towards the shining silver-white castle, and began to knock bricks from above with concentration: I guess she will knock bricks for a long time. The extremely cold eye on the top of the castle makes this "snow sculpture" stronger than interstellar alloy. It's strong, and the little bubbles probably can't be knocked.
Sakina didn't finish what she said just now, and was shocked for a full minute. However, when she spoke again, she was still able to continue: "This kind of magic doesn't seem to be able to hold too many things... This is WTF!!"
This girl's reflex arc doesn't seem to be short either.
"Tell me, in your worldview, can I explain this matter clearly?" I asked the half-dragon girl frankly.
Sona and Sakina said in unison: "No!"
"Oh, then I won't explain it, you can just understand it."
The two half-dragon girls hugged each other and took a few steps back. They glanced between us and the ice castle with monster eyes. After a long time, they said in unison again: "How can you understand it so casually?"
I covered my head with my head as big as a bucket and looked in the direction of Qianqian. I said to myself that it took Vanilla a week to figure out what the earth was. How could I talk to two half-dragons who had only heard of space magic? Can anyone explain this miraculous phenomenon? In their impression, the space magic capacity seems to be no more than a 50L travel bag...
"Anyway, when you are with these guys, you have to encounter a moment to witness a miracle." Bingtis went over and patted the two half-dragon girls on the shoulders, "They will be in trouble at any time. Don't feel pressured, just It's a wonderful journey in life. If there is a chance in the future, this good old man will probably explain it to you. Don't just stand there, do you want to go in? "
Sona blinked: "Go in? Us?"
"Of course," Bingtis said as if she was the mistress of the ice and snow castle. There is no psychological pressure. "Is it okay to invite you to stay for one night? Otherwise, we stay in the castle, but you guys set up a small tent and bonfire to keep warm in the open space outside. It's weird."
I thought about that scene. The evil imperial nobles lived in a gorgeous and luxurious huge castle. Looking down from the splendid terrace, on the grassland next to the castle was a shabby small tent, with two half-dragon girls wearing seams. An old mended leather jacket. Watching a small pile of extinguished bonfires shivering in the cold night wind, occasionally glancing at the castle with warm lights, I silently lit a match... Although it felt like something unusual had been mixed in in the end. But the sense of immediacy in this scene is really too strong...
"Please don't feel embarrassed!" I invited Sakina and the others very firmly, "You can choose any room in the castle as you like!" The two half-dragon girls were startled: "Huh?" Then Sakina scratched Ruffling his hair, the thick lizard (maybe they call themselves dragon tails?) unconsciously scratched its tail on the ground twice: "Uh, oh... I don't understand what's going on with you. But it would be nice to have a more comfortable place to live. Look. It looks like the two of us have really met an incredible guy."
"Hey, Sakina, is this really okay?" Sona whispered immediately, her voice was very small, but I still heard her, "These people look weird, and they have this kind of castle and We can’t afford to offend magic people!”
"I feel like I would be even more offended if I didn't accept the invitation." Sakina also replied quietly, her eyes secretly drifting towards Bingtis. There is an innate second-rate air about the female gangster that lingers and lingers.
"Okay, okay, anyway, the castle is so big, no one is too many - by the way, this is the first time I have seen this ice castle since I came here. I often played in it when I was a child." He has not spoken much. Xiaoxue said happily, then turned around and ran to push the castle door, but after several attempts, the huge mountain-like ice door did not move at all. Lin Xue went over to take a look. He waved his hand at me: "It took too long. It's frozen."
Me: "..." The frozen castle on TV never mentioned that such a situation existed!
But I guess there are no such details in anyone’s fairy tales...
"There's no way, it's made of ice after all. Who thought of this in the first place," Bingtis waved his hand in a dispassionate manner, then took a few steps forward, twisted his waist, and swung his whip leg against the door, " "Rumble" After a loud noise and the subsequent sound of ice breaking, the door of the frozen castle disappeared. "Is there a kitchen in here? Probably not. Come on, let's light a bonfire in the side hall..."
Sakina shouted from behind: "Hey, hey, hey! Just smashed the castle gate like that?!"
I nodded heavily: "Being with us is basically a moment of witnessing miracles - come in."
Sakina and Sona carefully followed us across the big hole at the entrance of the frozen castle. After taking a few steps, Sona suddenly remembered something and said hurriedly: "Wait! I'm afraid we can't live in a place like this!"
"What?" I glanced at her curiously, and the half-dragon girl looked at me even more strangely, "Don't you know? Half-dragons are cold-blooded creatures, and they are forced to hibernate in low-temperature places... Well, it seems like this not cold?"
I was stunned by the word "cold-blooded creature", and then I casually replied: "Of course, you think we are willing to live in an ice cave? This castle is like spring all year round, because there is a polar star on the top of the castle. The Eye of Cold serves as the energy core to regulate the heat distribution here. Only the ice itself in this city maintains ultra-low temperatures. Everything else is at a very comfortable temperature. If you don’t believe me, if you touch the ice around it, it’s not actually cold at all.” I I feel that just knocking off an ice brick on this castle and throwing it into the Chinese Academy of Sciences would be enough for those old men to study it for seventy or eighty years. Under the influence of the ice crystals from the God Realm, this castle exists completely against common sense of physics.
"Oh, it's so magical!" Sakina touched the pillar next to her, and immediately looked very happy, stretching hard, "Ah, it's so warm, I feel like my whole body has come to life again... "
At this moment, Sona, who had been paying attention to the surrounding environment, suddenly exclaimed: "What is that!"
Following the direction of her finger, in the rows of niches against the walls on both sides of the castle porch, there were many lifelike snow sculptures on display, all of which looked like little girls. Although they were just snow sculptures, their faces could not be seen clearly, but each time they looked like little girls. The shape and posture of a snow sculpture are simply lifelike. These snow sculptures stand or sit, or open their hands as if to flap their wings, or lift their skirts as if they are dancing. Almost no one has the same posture. Such a group of small snow sculptures look like real people. Arranged in front of the porch of such a magnificent frozen castle, it looked weird.
"Oh, that's my other daughter." I smiled, remembering the lively appearance of little Qijing that day, and the mercury lamp on my shoulder said smoothly: "That's my sister, but she only has a soul."
Sakina and Sona trembled at the same time, looking here in horror, as if they suddenly found themselves trapped in a cage of terror, which made me question: "?"
"So you are an evil wizard! Did you experiment with the souls of girls? Turn them into golems or even snow sculptures? You didn't even let them go after that?!"
I:"……"
Who can tell me what this is all about?
