After Irene left, the envoy was in a temporary predicament, but soon a new news led everyone to find their way.
"In addition to the three dukes who lead the Ice Palace Court, there is also a witch who has a strong influence on the ice elves."
After living in "Scalante" for several weeks, Adrien and the others got the news, which is said to be a member of the divination hall in the city.
"At first, I thought it was a little ethereal, but after some inquiries, I found that there is such a special person." Athey yawned a little tiredly, and after Irene left, she also became busy.
"Then go look for it, there is no special news at the moment anyway." An accompanying messenger suggested.
"That's right..." Athey lay on the table and looked at Loren Hill, then raised her head and asked.
"Does Loren know the witch of sleep, Teva?"
"Twas? Roland Hill quickly remembered the name, when Keti snatched it from her."
"That witch seems to live in a far away land of ice and snow."
"Yes, but in the past few decades, she seems to have been to the Northern Continent. She has been a guest in the Ice Palace Court for a long time, and she has also done some things in collaboration with the ice elves."
"I heard that a huge ice pot garden was built, but then the news was gradually hidden, and no one knew where the garden was built."
"Doesn't that mean that we still can't find Tehua?"
"No, there is always a general direction, but there are few people there, and not every place in the Northern Continent is inhabited."
"All right."
"By the way, what does the Sleeping Witch look like?"
"It is said that she has black hair and a black dress, her voice is lazy and full of temptation, and there is no more specificity, because everyone only has this hazy dream image of her, and when you really want to draw an image, you can't catch the feeling."
"As expected of a witch, there are many mysterious places."
Black hair and black dress? For some reason, Roland Hill suddenly remembered the mysterious girl he met when he left Jackdaw Harbor.
Could it be that she was Tehua, and had anticipated the situation from the very beginning
Speaking of his whereabouts, it is not a secret among witches now. If the other party is a witch, it can be easily known.
"It seems that this time I have to look for it." Roland Hill blinked.
According to Chris's description in the past, this Tehua is not that kind of unreasonable witch, but just had a holiday with Keti. This time I went to her and I guess I have to apologize for Keti.
As a result, some people stayed in Scalandi, while Roland Hill went to find Tehua alone. The reason why she didn't bring others was because she would move faster when she was alone, and now the time could not be delayed any longer.
Three days later, Roland Hill flew in the direction described on the map. She tried her best to expand her perception to find the mysterious garden hidden among the snow-capped mountains and rivers.
At the same time, Irene also returned to the place where her family was.
"boom!"
The heavy doors slammed shut, and there was even a lingering humming sound.
In a small dark room, Irene sat alone on a stone chair, silent, just slowly stroking the silver-haired puppet in her arms.
This was the third day of her return. Her father and a group of elders first reprimanded her severely, and then locked her in this hut, letting her think about it behind closed doors, that is, confinement.
According to her brother, this period of confinement is estimated to last for more than a month before she is allowed to come out to meet people, and during this period, their family will also contact the Tixiu family again to discuss her marriage with Palos.
"It's kind of boring." Yin Xue opened her eyes from Irene's arms and looked at the closed door.
Although her parents were very strict with Irene, even Yin Xue could see that Irene's parents did not punish this daughter with all their heart. Rather than confinement, they wanted her to remember this lesson. Don't do anything out of the ordinary again.
"Father actually loves me very much," Erin said softly, leaning back in the chair and leaning back slightly, looking at the dark ceiling.
If you go out at this time, I am afraid that many people in the family will come to see her embarrassed appearance, or they will speak coldly and talk about it.
As for a month later, when the big wedding is imminent, other people will not slander their own clansmen in front of outsiders, and it is actually their own face that will be lost.
"Some customs of ice elves have not changed. They are so cumbersome and boring." Although Yin Xue understood what Irene said, she was obviously a little unhappy.
Such an outdated aristocratic style, focusing on face and etiquette, really made her a little disgusted, especially after coming into contact with the ethos of Crancia and the new organization in the south.

Yin Xue's mood is quite complicated about the performance of the ice elf nobles today, probably because she is sad and angry.
Thousands of years have passed, but there is still no progress. Even the Green Empire, led by nobles, has a much more open-minded and open-minded atmosphere, and will not engage in such troublesome red tape.
"Is Lord Yin Xue also an ice elf in the past?" Irene finally asked the question she had always wanted to ask before. She knew that this doll knew the history of the ice elf in the past, and she should have been close to the ice elf before her death. .
"Although I don't want to admit it, it is true." Yin Xue floated up from Irene's arms, cruised around the little black house, and then sat on Irene's shoulders.
"The era I live in is the first era that is extremely far away from now, the era when the ice elves were still active under the world tree."
"Then, can Yin Xue talk about the past, such as the fairy queen at that time, the fairy fairy..." Irene suddenly became curious.
"Well, it's probably similar to what you read in the book." Yin Xue shook her legs, looking a little lazy.
"Can you talk about it?" Irene asked again.
"Okay, I'll just talk about it briefly." Seeing Irene's curious appearance, Yin Xue knew that she was too boring in the small dark room, so she picked up some patience and told it slowly.
"Then let's start with the birth of the first three elves..."
"It is said that on the huge and endless branches, endless and colorful flowers bloomed first. These flowers are the prototype of all flowers in the world, and then the spiritual part of the flower core floated under the moonlight, like thousands of fireflies in the wind. swaying."
"Until a certain day, the powerful parts of these fireflies turn into wise creatures, and they are a generation of fairies."
"The goblins play carefree, they play to their heart's content, sing all kinds of songs, and take care of the thousands of flowers on the big tree..."
"The flowers bloom and fall. After so many generations, I finally have the first batch of fruits. These fruits are green and oval, hidden among the leaves, and grow quietly in the high clouds."
"Faced with these fruits, the fairies are very happy, because a new sister was born, so everyone takes care of these fruits more carefully."
"Time passed by again, and on a certain morning when the morning dew was clear, the mountain wind swept through the big trees, the leaves and branches swayed, so a lot of fruits fell, they fell into the soil, on the leaves, among the mountains and forests, and then the fruit shells It split open, and out of it emerged a beautiful elves with sharp ears."
"In this way, the first generation of three elves were born. They were born to be the darlings of nature. They could easily maintain their balance, run and chase in the mountains and forests with complex environments. Soon, families were established, and they gathered in the World Tree. She lives a simple and peaceful life under the protection of her.”
"In order to thank the world tree that gave birth to them, these elves will hold grand celebrations every time, and the elves who preside over the celebrations must be the most beautiful. She will wear a crown woven with laurel, and insert flowers of various colors. Sing and dance."
"Everyone admired and admired such a beautiful elf, so they all obeyed her words and guidance."
"Such a celebration is held every ten years, and the beautiful elf chosen is called the elf queen by later generations."
"Time passed quietly, and the fruits on the world tree kept falling and turned into various elves, but some fruits did not fall for a long time, so the elves were very anxious, and they sang various songs to them around the fruits, telling them It's the beauty of the world, don't worry, it's a peaceful and peaceful world."
"Hundreds of thousands of years passed in this way, and the fruits finally changed color and fell one by one..."
"But unfortunately, it's not the beautiful elves that come out of it, but other ugly creatures."
"The fairies fled in fright, hiding behind the leaves and branches, daring not to look at these new sisters."
"Then the elves came, cleaned these creatures, and raised them carefully."
"Soon, these creatures developed colorful and bright feathers, and they were not elves but birds that took to the sky."
"At this time, the goblins ran out again, wanting to play with these new sisters, but unfortunately the birds couldn't understand the goblins' words. When they matured, they jumped off the branches and flew to the blue and clear sky."
"Birds of various colors, colorful birds, colorful wings, they fly around the world tree, sing the joy of this new life, and then fly in all directions, some are gone forever, some may be many I'll be back in a year."
"Therefore, the world tree is divided into three layers. The mischievous fairies live in the top crown, the birds with bright feathers live in the branches of the tree, and the beautiful and slender fairies walk on the ground under the tree."
"In this way, surrounding the World Tree, the kingdom of the three elves gradually established, and the three elves began to write their own poems and legends..."
Yin Xue's words were like soft ballads, telling the ancient stories, while Irene listened quietly, her eyes intoxicated and immersed in it, it was difficult to wake up for a long time.
"It's really beautiful. Even if I've heard these legends before, it seems like a nostalgic song from Yin Xue's mouth." Irene murmured.
Books can record words, but the emotions, tunes, and songs left behind in those times cannot be completely recorded by books. After migrating to the northern continent, the ice elves lost too many things from the past.
"Can you teach me, Lord Yin Xue, the poetry and Yao-like legends you told me." Irene solemnly asked Yin Xue Gelin.
"It looks very troublesome, I'm not as patient as little Lorraine." Yin Xue shook her head.
"I'll teach you again. If you can't learn it, don't blame me."
"Well, it's fine."

After leaving 'Scarandi', according to the news and legends he had obtained before, Roland Hill was looking for the hidden garden on the barren tundra ice field.
Where will it be.
Loren Hill let go of his perception and flew across the monotonous snow-white land.
The mountain peaks are ups and downs, the sea water is filled, and her attention is slowly consumed.
Finally, after a fruitless search one day, Roland Hill landed on a coast.
There is no city near here, and the dark rocky ridges are exposed on the snow field, which is very conspicuous. With the rising and falling of the sea, you can hear the continuous and brittle sound.
Sweeping a clean stone, the girl sat by the sea and looked at the undulating blue sea in the distance.
It wasn't foamy waves that washed the coast, but countless white ice cubes. Just like breaking a lot of glass and throwing it into the sea, these shattered ice cubes collided with each other, and then continuously washed the coast against the backdrop of the waves.
What a rare sight, the girl sighed in her heart, even in the past era of advanced information, she had only seen the sea with floating icebergs, and did not want to have the special scenery of ice submerging the sea.
Roland Hill also felt a little tired because he searched for several days with no results.
She decided to stay here for one night today.
Find a small leeward valley, take out the rabbit fleece tent that you haven't used for a long time, set it up easily, and then cover it with thick blankets and soft quilts.
Crouching in the small tent, Roland Hill held the small copper stove, wrote the recent diary sleepily, and then drew his itinerary these days on the map.
Woo, so sleepy.
She yawned, then leaned back on the pillow and fell asleep slowly.
At the same time, the sky outside is gradually darkening, and the polar night in this area is coming. In the next few months, the sun will no longer be seen, but the starry sky will be eternally dark.
After a long, long time in her sleep, the young girl woke up dimly and looked at her pocket watch, probably as if she had slept all day.
"It's time to get up, Lorraine Hill," she said to herself, then patted her cheek to wake herself up a little.
Putting away the blankets and quilts, walking out of the gray rabbit fleece tent, a vast and endless night sky appeared in the eyes of the girl.
The air is extremely clean and clear, and you can clearly see the starlight in the sky. The vast Milky Way star sand forms a huge oblique nebula on this dark canvas, in which the starlight is twinkling, dense and endless.
The gradually changing aurora hung down from the sky, and the huge curtain of light was so magnificent that it made people feel extremely small. The sense of existence was overwhelmed by it, and there was an illusion that it almost flew up and melted into one of the dust.
From bright blue to dark green, from violet to light yellow, it is magnificent and sacred.
"It's so beautiful."
