Chapter 312 Blessings from the Polar Regions

In the northwest tower, the priest and his followers walked up the dim spiral staircase. There were only torches at intervals to illuminate the place, and the wind blowing in from nowhere made the flames sway, illuminating the shadows of the people.

Helot, who had been following the team, was finally discovered.

The last attendant was of the lowest status, a teenager. He noticed that someone had been following him up the stairs, so he stopped and asked, "Further up is the princess' bedroom. Are you going to see the princess too?"

"Yes!" Helot took out a red jewelry box and said, "I am sending a gift to Her Royal Highness the Princess on the orders of Master Panier."

Melissa was seriously injured, and the one who treated her must be the priest sent by the Ice and Snow Family. Helot said that he was from the Skovo Family, so he could probably get away with it.

"What gift is it?" The boy did not doubt Helot, but asked curiously.

Helot put the box away and said, "This is a gift from Master Panier to Her Royal Highness the Princess. We are not qualified to see it. Let's go, the priest has gone far away."

The boy looked back and saw that his companions had disappeared around the corner.

"You're right! Let's catch up quickly. If the High Priest finds me lagging behind, he will punish me."

The boy turned and ran up the stairs, waving to Helot to follow.

Helot chased after them, taking two steps at a time, and continued to follow the sacrificial team into the princess's bedroom.

The heater on the wall was burning very vigorously, and the snow on my body melted quickly and turned into water drops on the soft carpet. The walls of the room were wrapped with carpets, and the windows were well sealed. The fireplace had a dedicated air supply duct, and the exhaust gas would not enter the room. The air supply ducts for the room were opened on both sides of the fireplace, and the incoming air was heated by the furnace wall.

This is a room specially renovated for Princess Emma Rubelle, and the cold air outside cannot get in at all.

The entire heating system was very cleverly designed, and it made Helot, who had an engineering background, feel somewhat familiar... dual-airway heat transfer?

However, Helot did not dwell too much on this unexpected discovery. His attention was all on Melissa on the bed.

After not seeing her for a while, she looked very haggard, with pale skin and her hair lying on the pillow without its former luster.

Helot regretted giving her a long vacation.

I really want to walk up to her, hold her hand, and wake her up from her sleep.

He resisted the urge in his heart and stood aside watching the priest treat her.

The priest's followers stood in a circle around the bed, chanting spells, taking out a knife and cutting a hole in the palm of their left hand. Blood oozed out of the wound, but instead of dripping down, it floated in the air drop by drop.

People in northern Xinjiang believe that blood is the most calorific substance, and they believe that they can resist severe cold because blood is full of infinite energy. Therefore, many witchcraft techniques in northern Xinjiang are related to blood, and they do have many magical effects.

The priest stood beside Melissa, chanting a spell that had a self-paralyzing effect. His mind became hazy during the spell, and his voice changed into a strange tone. Then his body began to dance in a trance, as if something was attached to his body.

Soon the sacrifice became even more frantic, and the floating blood beads exploded one by one and turned into red mist.

The sounds of the followers chanting spells became louder and louder, and the red mist formed a circle above the bed, with a layer of light film rippling in the middle of the circle.

Gradually, the film of light bulged downwards, and the head of a beast appeared faintly. It slowly lowered, and the shape became clearer and clearer.

Helot recognized that this was the magical creature from the legend of the northern border... the polar fire fox.

Many adventurers who have climbed the polar plateau say they have seen polar fire foxes, but there is no physical evidence to prove that they really exist. Some people believe that this is an illusion caused by some light, especially in the polar hypoxic and low-pressure environment.

Some people simply claim that the Polar Fire Fox is real, and that they all inexplicably escaped from their predicaments after seeing the Polar Fire Fox, which seems to confirm the legend that the Polar Fire Fox can save people.

But some people say this is survivor bias.

Those who died in polar adventures may also have seen the Arctic Fire Fox, but none of them brought the information out.

In any case, the Sander priest was using ancient witchcraft to summon something that looked like a polar fire fox. As the fog ring light film descended, the image of the polar fire fox was completely outlined. Its body shape was like an erratic red fireball, and the position of its eyes was blue.

At this moment, the priest's movements and voices suddenly stopped. He stood on one foot, his body tilted in a way that was not in accordance with physics. Looking at the followers around him, they all seemed to be trapped in time, standing there motionless.

The only thing that moved during the ceremony was the polar fire fox. It lowered its head to observe the sleeping princess, and a drop of fire penetrated through the light film and landed on Melissa's forehead.

Then, the Polar Fire Fox suddenly turned its head and looked at Helotte.

Without giving Helot any chance to react, a beam of light crashed into his consciousness.

"Bring her and come to me!"

What does it mean?
Helot looked at the Polar Fire Fox and saw it leap upward and disappear in the mist ring.

The priest and his followers were pushed back by some force, and the fog ring rolled inward and shrank, then dispersed and disappeared.

Priest Sander was so weak that he was about to fall down, but fortunately his followers supported him in time.

"Master Priest, have we succeeded?"

Priest Sander did not answer. He forced himself to walk to the princess' side and pressed his fingers on the artery in her neck to feel the blood flow.

After a long time, the body finally relaxed and said, "We have lived up to the trust of the Duke. Her Royal Highness is recovering."

Helot was secretly delighted when he heard this. This ancient witch doctor technique that has been passed down to the present day still has its unique features. The Immortal Society has not yet come up with a treatment method, but Melissa has been cured!

However, the priest's next words brought Helot's mood to the bottom again.

"Your Highness should be able to hold out for a year..."

"That is to say... I have one year to give birth to a child for the Skovo family."

Melissa opened her eyes. She looked much better and her skin looked rosy, but her expression was full of sadness.

"Your Highness!" Priest Sander immediately bowed and said, "I'm sorry, I can't give you true health."

"I know no one can save me. I just don't want to spend the last journey of my life in this small room. My last value is just to give birth to a child."

Priest Sander was so weak that he could hardly stand. "Your Highness, the Duke and his wife both love you. Your marriage with Master Panier was decided a long time ago. If you hadn't been injured and needed to go to the Covenant City for treatment, you would have completed the wedding long ago."

"Yes! This is probably my destiny. Go back to the Ice Castle and report to my father. Tell him... I will fulfill my duty as a woman of the Ice and Snow Family."

"I will report this to His Excellency the Duke. I won't disturb your rest, Your Highness. Good night!"

Melissa nodded and closed her eyes.

Priest Sander left with his followers, and the young man walking at the end did not forget to make a face at Helot.

The maid came in and was about to close the door when she saw someone standing by the fireplace. She asked angrily, "It's late, Your Highness needs to rest, why aren't you leaving yet?"

Helot walked over and put the jewelry box in the maid's hand: "This is what the priest asked me to give to Your Highness, please keep it!"

"Why doesn't the priest..."

Before the maid finished her question, Helot had already walked out.

"Impolite guy."
