The king tapped the armrest with his index finger, and a new scepter was leaning on his hand. The decoration was equally gorgeous and noble, but the fluctuation of magic power emitted was much weaker.
He listened to the report and other people's discussions, and after confirming that there were no new valuable proposals, he waved his hand to signal silence.
The Snow King smiled softly:
"So in the end, we came back. We have to go to the tundra to see the so-called Bridge of Doom with our own eyes. This is consistent with my original idea-it's ok, let the army rest for a night, and prepare the supplies and leave tomorrow. "
"My time is running out and the end has to be fully dealt with in the near future."
The meaning hidden in the Snow King's words made everyone feel uneasy, and only then did they notice that many spells had been added to the king's majestic face. The immortal seemed to have aged a lot in just half a day!
The Snow King has more than one outstanding heir or descendant, but no one in the Snow Kingdom has ever thought about the issue of heirs.No matter how outstanding the prince's descendants are, they can never compare to this immortal heroic king. No one has ever doubted this.
Without giving the others more time to think, the Snow King spoke again:
"One more thing - Senac, you go to the lodge and tell your trusted court mage Ella Williams that she is ready to go. As for the people traveling with you... Lily Bell and That knight from the Ash Forest, if the prophecy doesn't come in handy here, forget it."
"The priests can't get new oracles, so we should send envoys to meet that god."
This order made many nobles feel confused. They were not familiar with the newly promoted court mage, and they didn't understand why she was chosen as the envoy this time.
But everyone present has heard about the prophecy ability of Earl Winter's daughter, and she should not be a member of the envoy anyway.
The Snow King did not listen to any objections. This was something he had already decided. The King waved his hands and closed his eyes and leaned on the throne. He seemed a little tired.
The ministers and nobles left the chamber one by one, leaving only the chief knight Hester Hogle, the Earl of Winter Mitland Bell, the unknown court mage and the waiter named Senak.
The court mage thought for a while and asked:
"I must remind you, Your Majesty. Even if you can't explore the abyss, Lily Bell's prophecy ability is very useful. Is there any other reason for you to arrange this?"
The king opened his eyes and adjusted his posture. He was not as tired as he had shown before.
"I really didn't expect the gods to help us survive the doomsday. The countries that perished in the sixth century have already proved that Lord Nodens will probably not end himself."
"As for those three people, after all, they are not from the Kingdom of Snow. Our end should not be their end. This was agreed from the beginning."
The court mage was stunned for a moment, and turned his blind eyes to Earl Winter on the other side, looking a little unbelievable.
Mitlan scratched his short stiff hair,
"Ah...Your Majesty, do you still remember?"
"It's been a long time, and we may be the only ones who know about it now... Out of selfishness, I really want Lily to join the mission. As for Ashley Chevalier, that person I won't be left alone."
The count recalled events from many years ago.
At that time, he was just a sergeant serving in the forest defense line before inheriting the title. One night, Mitland Bell found the two girls in the ash forest.
Among them, the girl who looked like a wild beast held a broken sword, and her gaze made me, who was a long-lived species, shudder.
This was about how many years ago, so long that even he himself forgot.
This is probably an experience that only longevity species can experience, right?
He seemed to think of something interesting and laughed out loud.In this environment, the earl's behavior might seem a little presumptuous, but the others didn't care.
"Mittel, did you think of anything good?"
The Snow King leaned forward with great interest.
Earl Winter was a little tired from laughing, but his tall body was still trembling, and it took a long time before he recovered and replied:
"Your Majesty, I'm wondering... what's going on in this world? A long time ago, someone told me what the world should look like in her memory, what the four seasons change, and it's a thousand times bigger than a lake... ...Is it called the ocean? There is only a moon in the sky, no land covered with ice and snow—that sounds like a ridiculous but beautiful place."
"But now that I think about it, maybe it's even weirder here. Monsters that come out of nowhere, doomsday, oracle, and so on, are all messy things."
"If, Your Majesty, I mean if, if our place is the weird one, I really want to see that world after the end."
-
The king savored Mitlan's words seriously, and then smiled.
"Maybe it is true, maybe it will be an interesting journey."
"What do you think, my court mage, I remember that you weren't originally a citizen of the Snow Country, right? If you say you want to join the mission, I won't stop you, just treat it as a holiday."
The court mage bowed slightly, the metal half-covered blindfold did not destroy the beauty of her face, it only added a bit of mystery to that gentleness.
"No need, Your Majesty... I've lived in the Snow Country for too long, and everything in the past doesn't matter anymore. It's no different from a dream to me."
"Only Wendel is my eternal home."
The king's gaze rested on her for a moment.
"You seem to have remembered something... Forget it, just do it."
"Senac, you can leave now."
The waiter paid a salute upon hearing the words, took a small step back a few steps, then turned and left the meeting hall.
Chapter 66 Go to
"Your Majesty, you want me to leave tomorrow?"
Looking at the king's attendants who came suddenly before her, Ella felt a little surprised.
Thinking about it, Ella brought a cup of black tea for the other party. Although she now has the status of a court mage, she has no servants, and Ella herself is not used to being served.
After thanking him, Senak took the black tea and placed it on the coffee table in front of him.
"Your Excellency Williams, His Majesty wants you to act as envoys to ask Lord Nodens for help."
"us?"
Ella sensed the word.
"Yes, Miss Lily Bell and Her Excellency Ashley Chevalier will accompany you."
"why?"
Ella was a little stunned. She expected that the Snow King would send others to accompany her, but she never thought it would be these two people.Lily Bell's prophecy ability is very important to the current situation, and Ashley Chevalier is also an excellent fighter.
"Your Majesty has his reasons."
Considering the powerful magic power displayed by the Snow King, the role played by other individuals in the war is indeed insignificant in comparison.
Ella nodded, accepting the arrangement, which did her no harm.
"Okay, then I will take my leave. It will probably be a difficult road, Mr. Williams, I wish you all the best."
The king's servant Senac stood up, with a standard smile on his face, no more and no less.
It was only then that Ella noticed that Senac had always had this expression since the day she first entered Wendell.
-
The next morning.
Troops were gathered in front of the city gate of Carlodine, and within a day, troops from more territories arrived here.
Although the elite level has declined, the number of troops alone is no less than that before the war.
Ella and the two people traveling together sat in the carriage at the front of the team. The stairs of Etmenanki were located on the snow field, and they could still walk together before the army entered the mountains.
Lily had no objections to participating in the journey; her inspiration was disturbed beneath the abyss, and she could provide limited assistance to the expedition.On the other hand, she and Ella had an agreement to send each other to the Stone Stairway to the Sky.
Ashley's meaning was even simpler, wherever Lily Bell was, she would be there.
-
Originally, there were many scattered villages in the mountains and forests outside Carlodine Town. Some of them escaped from the villages in time and are now resettled in Carlodine City.
The other part was completely destroyed. The ruins of the village still had blood that had dried up long ago. The villagers were devoured or parasitized into flesh and blood monsters, leaving no bones or hair left.
During the process of marching, the team found no survivors, no beasts, no birds, and no cold spiders.
Wood and fresh vegetation were also divided and dragged away. The knights seemed to be walking in a world that had long since died. Wherever the sea of spiders passed, there was no life left.
On the morning of the fifth day of the journey, the army arrived at the ruins of Cedar City.
The city of Junkos is covered with dry spider webs, and the pale fibers spread down from the tallest buildings in the city.They are like a worn shroud around the huge corpse named "Joncus".
Thousands of cocoons hang over the city, they have long since shriveled and cracked, glued together by blackened blood.
The contents inside have already broken out of the cocoon, leaving only a large number of empty shells hanging in mid-air.
The cedar forests for which Junkers is famous are nothing but bare stumps, and the city is literally dead in every sense of the word.
The Snow King looked at the scene in front of him, was silent for a moment, and then ordered:
"Burn it."
These dry spider webs were the product of the evolution of the cold spider, they were easily ignited, and the flames gradually enveloped the entire city.The building was blackened and collapsed under the flames, leaving only a charred ruin after the fire was over.
If the apocalypse really ends one day, maybe new residents will come here and complete the rebuilding.
The accompanying priests held a large-scale sacrificial activity on the mountain peak on the side of Junkos, but this is actually meaningless. The corpses made into flesh puppets by cold spiders will be strongly polluted, and it is difficult for their souls to remain intact .
Ella didn't say this unacceptable fact, sacrificial activities are essentially a comfort to the living.
-
After another two days of the journey, on the snow field outside Junkos, tents and some utensils full of nomadic style were scattered here and there.
The army failed to encounter these once hostile races on the plain. A large war broke out between the Snow Country people and these barbarians 200 years ago.
The pursuit continued for several months after the savages were defeated.
But they are like ghosts walking on the snow field, even the most elite knights and scouts can hardly catch up with them after going deep into the snow field.For the next 200 years, these undead ghosts often appear on the plains and pose a threat to border villages and civilians.
But after the disaster broke out, they also completely lost track.
After the end of the Winter Guard War, some barbarian slaves who had been freed chose to return to their hometown, and their ending can be imagined.No knight was happy with the destruction of his old enemy, and an inexplicable sense of desolation permeated the expeditionary force.
-
Before the mountain peak, the three of Ayla left the carriage, and the road they traveled together ended here, and the stairs of Altmunnanki were in the mountains in another direction.
In addition to the letter of invitation, they brought enough food and fresh water.
In order to save magic power, Ayla only summoned two Byakhees.
