Alien world

Chapter 1089 11. The Woman Frozen Deep in the Snowy Mountains
Did they lose track of time? Or were they in some kind of trouble?
Annan was about to summon Ilimayas back with summoning magic, but suddenly he remembered that if they were in danger, Ilimayas was the strongest fighting force. If he pulled her back, Tasia and Brino Janna would be isolated and helpless...

"Can we get closer to the snow mountains?" Annan asked.

"That's the devil's lair. We'll be discovered if we get too close."

The Red Dragon Warlock died at the hands of Annan. The demons must hate Liberty City. If you approach it rashly, you will only be entangled by the demon army.

Sending a legion won't work either. Demons aren't as easy to deal with as ratmen, so there will definitely be casualties...

Making a loud noise should have attracted the attention of Ilimayas and the others, but they were not the only ones who noticed the noise.

Annan waited for them for a long time, but they still didn't show up, so Annan decided to summon them back. Just in case, he borrowed the good luck of Martin, the "Son of the North": "Martin! Liberty City needs you!"

After taking personal belongings from the Tauren Tribe, the Crystal Nest, and the Janna Family, Annan summoned Tasya first.

As the magic power surged, the magic circle emerged and the outline of Tasia appeared in front of Annan.

Tasia's calf was injured, with a wound deep enough to see the bone, but it stopped bleeding.

Seeing that Tashia was fine, Annan breathed a sigh of relief: "Are you in danger?"

"We were discovered by demons as soon as we arrived at the fortress. We were chased by them and broke into an ancient ruin discovered by demons."

"Ruins? Have you found anything good?" Annan asked subconsciously.

Tasia said in a muffled voice: "I don't know, we are still exploring... Is it time?"

"Well, the Nezumi are gathering, we should go."

Let Tasya go for treatment first, Annan took out a sapphire that he had taken from the blue dragon's nest when Ilimayas was away, and cast the summoning spell again.

As the light brightened, an outline appeared in the magic circle.

"Where is this!? Who are you——Lord An... Lord Annan? Why are you here... Eh? That gem... isn't it the lost gem?"

The nobles who had taken refuge in the Free City were surprised.

Annan was also surprised. Ilimayas also stole things! ?
No...it can't be called stealing. Is stealing things from nobles called stealing?
Facing the expectant gazes of the nobles, Annan had no choice but to return the gem to its original owner and use Ilimayas's dragon scale summoning instead.

……

Under the snow mountain fortress, Ilimayas and Brino Janna, who had transformed into humans, walked in the underground cracks filled with gray rocks and blue ice.

Tasia's sudden disappearance caused Brino Janna to step back quickly, holding her sword across cautiously.

"Annan summoned her back." Ilimoyas, who had seen Annan's summoning technique, said, "We should be next."

"We are saved..." Brino Janna breathed a sigh of relief, then exclaimed: "Then let's run deeper and see what is in the depths of the ruins!"

There was nothing here except rocks, ice, and the pursuing demons. What convinced them that there was a relic here was a broken mural discovered by Brinor Janna, which she recognized as being related to the King of the North and pointing to the underground.

The demons chasing behind them quickly pulled away as they accelerated, but the rift in front of them became narrower and narrower, and no new ruins appeared.

"Blue Dragon, are you sure this is the right way?"

"The treasure is right here..."

Brino Janna still trusted the dragon's instinctive talent. Just as she was about to speak, a magic circle appeared under Ilimayas' feet. Brino Janna only had time to throw her sword to her before Ilimayas disappeared.

"Tsk..."

With a light sigh, Brino Janna continued to rush forward, hoping that Ilimayas could give her more time and hoping that the ruins were just ahead.

The surrounding cracks continued to narrow, and finally became a narrow gap at the end that required one to crawl through sideways.

Brino Janna looked carefully and saw that there was a vague space behind the gap.

She thought that perhaps the devil had never been here because it was too narrow.

The devil's strange roar was faintly heard, and Brino Janna no longer hesitated. She stood sideways and crawled into the gap, moving slowly along the cold rock. The rock in the gap was relatively smooth, like a huge rock several hundred meters long that was split in half.

After moving sideways for several dozen meters, Brino Janna became increasingly anxious. When she was worried that she would be summoned back, a faint cold light suddenly appeared in front of her.

Brino Janna sped up and tore off the leather armor that was in the way so that she could squeeze through the cracks in the rock that required her to tuck in her chest and abdomen.

After coming out of the gap, Brino Janna's eyes were fixed on the source of the cold light: in the vast underground cavity, an iceberg stood quietly.

A woman was vaguely frozen in the depths of the iceberg. The cold light that guided Bryno Janna out surrounded her body, illuminating a group of withered demons kneeling in front of the ice.

Their vitality and soul have long since disappeared.

Brino Janna froze there, realizing she had entered some dangerous forbidden area.

With her arrival, faint breathing sounds were heard in the space.

At this moment, the magic circle appeared in time. When the woman frozen in the ice opened her eyes, Brino Janna disappeared on the spot.

……

Suddenly returning to the warm city lord's mansion, Brino Janna felt relieved at first, but then she quickly broke out in a cold sweat.

"Have you found the treasure?" Annan asked.

"Treasure? No...but I saw a woman and almost became her nutrients..." Bryno Janna gasped in shock.

"Is she pretty?"

"Pretty? That's what you care about?" Brino Janna snorted, "I didn't care whether she was pretty or not, I just knew she was dangerous."

Even though she was a master warrior, she didn't have much confidence facing that strange and ancient creature.

Annan seemed to be thinking about something. There were ruins and a frozen woman in the underground of the snow mountain fortress... Could she be sealed here?

Annan asked Luoxi to find someone who knew the answer.

The eldest sister said that there was no record of this in the family library, and Mr. Victor didn't know about it. The "Forgotten Ones" also said that they didn't know that there was a relic under the fortress.

The ruins have a history of at least several hundred years. At that time, humans had probably just arrived in the North not long ago. Perhaps only the elves might know something...

Forget it, let the devil take care of the headache first.

Annan told Luoxi to prepare to set sail.

"Where's my treasure?"

At this time, Elimoas returned and found that something was missing from the nest.

"You mean the sapphire you stole from the nobles? I returned it."

"I didn't steal it, I picked it up from his house!"

"Okay, I picked it up... Don't pick it up again in the future."

Amid the bustle of the city lord's mansion, Liberty City left the North.

……

Deep and cold, even time seems to have frozen in the depths of the snow-capped mountains.

The hollow shell of the demon knelt in the iceberg. The frozen woman slowly opened her eyes and looked at the place where Brino Janna disappeared.

"The scent of a familiar person..."

A subtle and long whisper echoed in the empty space in front of the iceberg.
