Ashley quickly adjusted his dance steps and gave a fierce counterattack.

"But why do you know this kind of magic? Could it be that...you actually like girls too?"

Ella couldn't help coughing because of the breath stuck in her throat, and her steps became messy for a while.

She frowned and muttered:

"Ashley, that's not chivalrous on your part...but well, there's nothing to hide."

Ashley answered solemnly, and then asked with a smile:

"Honesty is one of the best qualities of a knight. How about telling me about your affairs?"

"For example, is she also a wizard?"

Ella thought for a while, showing a shy smile.

"Yes, and a fool."

"So I have to go back."

......

The dance music fell silent in a higher and faster melody, and then during the next interval of music performance, Ashley led Ella onto the high platform in front of the bonfire.The people in the audience quieted down after a while, and focused their attention on the two people in front of the bonfire.

"It's the Chief Knight! But who is the girl standing on her right?"

A young man was agitated and lowered his voice to ask.

"Are you a foreigner?"

Another middle-aged man glanced at him quickly, then looked back at the high platform.

"That's our court mage, His Excellency Williams. She has been missing for 15 years, but she doesn't seem to have changed at all!"

The young man opened his mouth wide enough that an egg could almost be stuffed there.He was shaking with excitement and could hardly speak.

He is a magic apprentice, and he is very familiar with the name Ella Williams. This name will appear repeatedly in every common magic textbook in the Snow Country, and this unreachable legend is now very close at hand. .

At this time, the neutral and heroic voice of the chief knight spread to every corner of the square, and her voice spread outward under the magic effect, which made everyone hear the same volume.Although 15 years have passed, as the strongest knight and magician representing cold winter, the cooperation between the two of them is no stranger.

"This is His Majesty's dinner to celebrate the reunion of friends, but it is also a farewell before parting."

"Many of you present are survivors from 15 years ago. You should be familiar with this girl. And everyone else should have heard of her name before."

Having said this, Ashley took a step back and gave way to Ella.

"Hello everyone, I am Ella Williams, the court mage of the Kingdom of Snow."

The name quickly became a hit, and even though many people had already heard the news from various sources, they were still excited for the return of the legend.

"His Excellency Chevalier said before that this is also a farewell before parting... So, I will not stay in the Snow Country for too long, and I will return to the journey tomorrow."

The news quickly turned the atmosphere cold, and the noisy conversation made the audience chaotic.

A young man squeezed out of the crowd and asked loudly,

"But why, is it that you don't like this country?"

Ella was a little surprised, but quickly said seriously:

"No - I love her, just like you do."

Ella thought, maybe it would be good to come to the Dreamland after everything is over, but it also depends on what Ling wants...

At this moment, Ashley turned to look at her.

"What His Majesty the Snow King once said, maybe we need to say it again."

"Ella, the gate of Snow Country is always open for you."

Chapter 20 leaving

The city in the early morning is bathed in mild sunlight, which isn't enough to melt the snow, but it's just as comfortable.

After the dinner, most of the drunk people were dragged back home by familiar people and guards. Although they would not be frozen to death if they stayed in the square, getting sick was not a trivial matter.

Carrying a small package, Ella walked alone on the somewhat deserted street.Inside the package are food and magic materials that are ready to be used for a month. Because of the magic, their size and weight have been weakened to one tenth.

She raised her head and squinted her eyes. The sunlight behind the clouds was not dazzling.

The number of suns in the Snow Country seems to be appearing more and more frequently. In Ella's impression, she hadn't seen it a few times during the more than a year of living here.

A small question could not help but arise in her heart.

Ella once observed the starry sky on that temple. Above this land were seven honeycomb celestial bodies similar to the moon. She did not find anything similar to the "sun" in the material world.

In the end, she just attributed this to the special rules of the dreamland, without thinking too much.

Ella got up early today, and she didn't intend to let familiar people send her away, so that only the joy of reunion would be left without the sadness of parting.

Ella came to the city wall and couldn't help but look around.

She remembered seeing a similar story in Kraft's library:

The traveler left alone with the same idea as himself, but met other people who were already waiting here at the city wall.

At first glance, this may seem impressive.But this kind of development is still contrary to the traveler's original idea after all.

Thinking of this, Ella couldn't help laughing.

If the wizards in those stories really wanted to leave quietly, all they had to do was cast a magic spell on themselves to hide their bodies.

It was very quiet on the city wall, and the lazy guards leaned against the stone wall and took a nap with their heads lowered.The reality is indeed different from the story. She has made up her mind not to show up here, and Lily and the others are also very busy and need to rest... But, this is fine.

Thinking about it, she floated up with a few smiling gray spots, and left the city with Chenfeng.

-

Lily turned over on the wide bed and looked out the window in a daze.Then he snorted and retracted into the quilt, using the female knight as a pillow and continued to sleep.

-

The thin gray lines on the horizon gradually became clear in Ella's eyes. After a night of adjustments, the injuries and the remaining chaotic power of the Pluto medicine had completely calmed down.Perhaps she would be able to reach the stone steps leading to the sky before noon.

After the wave of apocalypse 15 years ago, this place should be the only thing in the Snow Country that retains its original appearance.Even when hundreds of millions of cold spiders covered the land, they all instinctively avoided this place closely related to the gods.

In the dreamland, there should be more than one passage to reach the Moon Temple, and the Kingdom of Snow is only a part of the huge honeycomb structure.There are still countless such countries and various passages in places that Ella does not know.

When stepping up the stairs again, Ella clearly felt some kind of strange oppression.Not being able to fly up the ladder is not just a daunting old adage, but a rule similar to the Ten Commandments.Violating it triggers some sort of penalty.

It wasn't until she truly grasped part of the divinity that she clearly felt this strange power.But why can the two night-gaunts dragging the palace escape this rule? Or maybe this is part of the rule itself?

Ella looked up at the gray stairs that stretched all the way to the end of the clouds, and stepped up.With her current physique, the simple movement of climbing up will hardly cause physical fatigue.As long as she is not bored, Ella can continue to go up without sleep, and add a little food when necessary.

It took her about ten days to complete the climb last time, and this time it can be cut in half.

The girl continued upward at a constant speed, and the ground below quickly became blurred and covered by mist.She found that after turning on Lingxin vision, her detection range had been suppressed to a narrow range of five meters around her, and the gray mist was mixed with strange magic power, which isolated all detection.

Ella couldn't help feeling irritated. She looked at the bones left by the pilgrims on the ground, and suddenly had an urge to destroy them.

A little spark ignited at her fingertips, but then went out with a pop.

Ella stopped, frowning and staring at her fingertips.

She finally noticed the abnormality in her mental state.If she just kept running, even if it lasted for a week, it shouldn't have such an impact on her spirit.

But now... only two days have passed.

Ella couldn't help but look around. All she could see was a small part of the stairs she stepped on. Other than that, there was only a sea of ​​white mist.

"Last time there was Ashley and Lily, so we didn't feel so much mental pressure... Only when I was actually walking here alone, I felt how crazy it was."

"Is the fog this thick last time?"

Ella muttered to herself to disperse some of the pressure so that she would not go crazy. This mist was not as simple as she thought.Ella recalled what she saw on the passage between the two dreams. In fact, the space on the stone steps had been divided into another interstitial space. It was precisely because of this that it made people think that there was only one left in the whole world. The loneliness of being alone.

"I'm only halfway there... It seems that I have to speed up."

Ella ate some hard bread and continued walking upward.

When the clouds dissipated and she stepped onto an extremely open platform, the world in front of the girl's eyes suddenly became wider.

She couldn't help shouting excitedly like an ordinary little girl, which hadn't happened in many years.

It is night now, passing through the thick clouds above the Snow Country, the quiet and vast starry sky extends infinitely to the end of the sky.The pale, gigantic moon became close enough to see its uneven surface.

"How can there be rabbits and toads in such a place?"

Recalling the Far Eastern legend Ling mentioned before, Ayla couldn't help but laugh.

Under the silvery moonlight, a black spot quickly enlarged.Accompanied by an ethereal cry that is reminiscent of illusory dreams, two dragon-like night monsters dragged the moving palace and appeared in the starry sky.

Ella hadn't observed these two dreamland creatures whose physique was obviously different from the same kind before. Their smooth faces without facial features wore hideous and majestic bronze masks.The wide bony wings serving as forelimbs propped up a blue-gray meat membrane, and at the end of the membrane were fingers similar to humans, except that they were magnified countless times.

Her eyes quickly flicked over Night Dire and Dragon Chariot, but she didn't see the figure she was expecting on the frame.

Teacher... what happened to him?An inexplicable anxiety rose from the girl's heart, causing her heart to beat faster.

At this time, the gilded gate of the dragon carriage opened.But to Ella's disappointment, the person who walked out of there was not the person she wanted to see.

A maid with a stiff expression and a silver-white metallic luster left the gorgeous mobile palace, and bowed respectfully in front of Ella.

There are obvious splicing marks on her joints, and the thin silver thread connecting her body is exposed in the moonlight, connecting the end of nothingness.

"Please show your invitation."

She spoke clearly, but there was no emotion in her tone.

Ella handed the parchment into her hand. The girl had met this puppet maid before and had a brief communication.

She asked eagerly, almost impolitely:

"Why didn't you see the envoy?"

The head puppet maid slightly tilted her head, and her gem-studded eyes rolled a few times.As if imitating the emotion of doubt, this kind of parody cannot be compared with the highly bionic shadow.But Ella thinks this is obviously not a problem of alchemy technology and magic level, it is more like the master's preference and bad taste.

The puppet maid accepted the invitation with a more respectful attitude.
