Freya woke up from the icy coldness, but the sight was not a glacial gorge stacked like ice knives, and the shivering icy wind of the gorge no longer lingered in her ears, she remembered herself When I fainted, I was on the windward side of the glacier, but now I was in a quiet mountain depression. I don't know how long she has been in a coma, and the cold seems to seep into the limbs. She gritted her teeth and finally got up from the snow. But Freya suddenly noticed something she had never seen before.
Not far from the shaky vision, there stood a little thing, a bit like a small snowman, but its slender arms were not the usual dry branches, but made of ice crystals; that little thing With his hands folded on his waist, he was half-bent over and looked at Freya not far away. It was a bit like a housekeeper in the lord’s castle, but he was not tall and his face was covered with ice crystals. The beard and the eyebrows, under the eyebrows, a pair of shiny eyes gleamed.
Freya was taken aback. She had never seen anything like this before, and she woke up suddenly, sitting up from the snow like a spring. But she didn't expect her sudden movements to scare the other party. The little thing was so scared that she stepped back and tripped on a tree root, then sat down in the snow, and got up for a long time. Then the two of them stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
There was an embarrassing silence in the snow.
After a long while, Freya finally realized that the other party did not seem to be hostile, and after considering it, he asked tentatively: "Did you bring me here?"
The snowman was taken aback, patted the Xuemo on his body and stood up, and bowed respectfully to Freya: "No, it's not me. Master master brought you here, respectable little master. "It can still speak Cruz, but the tone is a little weird, like a duck screaming, which makes people feel very funny.
Freya opened her mouth and couldn't close it together and turned into an'O' shape, shocked by the other party's call to her. "Wait, what do you call me, who is your master?"
"The master is the master, the respectable little master." The snowman replied in a very natural tone, as if the correct answer to this question should be.
"Wait, I'm not a little master, have you admitted the wrong person?"
"The host said that you are the most distinguished guest here. The host asked us to treat you with the etiquette of the little host. The host said so, the host must be right."
Freya felt that her brain was running out, she just thought that if Brando were here, he would be able to figure out what happened quickly. But this girl from the countryside of Buche is not stupid. She first touched one side of the belt: the lion heart sword was still in the scabbard in that place; then touched her waist bag: Brando gave her the slate. She was safe and sound, even with the ruby ring still in her hand, she breathed a sigh of relief, which showed that the other party was at least not malicious.
She calmed down a bit, and after a while, she asked the snowman, "Hello, how should I call you?"
The snowman put a hand like a dead branch on his chest, and learned human etiquette to salute her: "We are the Toliffin fairy who has lived here for generations, dear little master, we have no name, you can Call us "Hey" or "Come here". Anyway, each of us looks similar to you, but in fact there are some differences. You only need to count our beards and eyebrows carefully, and you will find the number and shape. It’s not the same."
Before the introduction of Toliffin Fairy was finished, Freya laughed out loud. The little thing learned the etiquette of human nobles in a precise manner, but what he said was not marginal, which was a bit funny. She held back a smile and asked, "Where is your master?"
"The master is in the house."
"House? Can I meet him?"
"The master said, if the little master wakes up, he will take you to see him."
"Take me to see him?" Freya was a little suspicious: "Is it all right now?"
The fairy toliffin nodded.
Freya stood up from the snow, patted the corner of her clothes, and realized that her injuries had recovered. She remembered that she was badly injured before she fell into a coma, and killed the silver monster with the last blow. She couldn't remember what happened at the time. She only vaguely remembered that the slate in the bag fell out and shone in the snow. And he felt as though he had fallen into a furnace in pain, and then he felt unconscious. But the slate was still placed in her pocket, and she squeezed it with her hands, and it remained as cold as before.
Freya didn’t know if the recovery of her injuries was related to the changes at the time, or the mysterious owner of these little fairies, but she saw that the little snowman had already climbed to the front col with his hands and feet. It was standing. A snow-white bush of thorns beckoned to her, and Freya hurriedly followed.
Freya found that the place she was in seemed to be in a secluded valley. She followed Toliffin's goblin and passed through a dense forest of white thorns that she had seen before. This kind of plant seems to be distributed throughout the valley. These white thorns can grow to a high level, just like those trees outside, except that the top of it is bent down, and there are luminous fruits hung like a street lamp. The soft light illuminates the winding roads in the jungle.
There are many animals in the white woods. At least Freya has seen a kind of squirrel with gray-white fur, looking for the seeds of shrubs under the thorn bushes, and occasionally passing in groups on the pavement of the path, or in pitch black. Her big eyes are wary of her outsider. On the thorns that traversed from the top of the head, there are many birds that look like finches, but this kind of bird has silver feathers and long tail feathers, they are not afraid of life at all, let Freya Walking with the little fairy from below, he tilted his head and looked at her unexpected visitor.
After walking for a while, the white thorns suddenly separated left and right. Freya's eyes lit up slightly, and a surprised look appeared on her face. After the thorn bushes separated, a spring surrounded by jungle appeared from behind. The wall hangs down and falls into a pool. Steam rises in the pool, which is obviously a hot spring formed by geothermal heat. But these were not surprising enough. She saw that the land beside the hot spring was full of emerald green vegetation and meadows, and on this meadow, a faint blue stag was lying.
The stag had obviously noticed her too, and Freya didn't know if she had an illusion, she saw that the other person showed a kind look to her.
This made her recognize the other person at once, it was the stag that led them all out of the predicament the night before.
She seemed to understand something at once, but at this moment the Toliffin fairy who led the way stopped. It turned back to look at Freya; the girl in surprise looked ahead and found that the white bush of thorns had come to an end in front. , In front is an open space in front of the mountain wall, an artificial building was carved out on the mountain wall, forming an arch with three or four people high. Freya looked at the arch, then at the stopped Toliffin goblin, and asked, "Do you want me to go in?"
The snowman nodded.
Freya mustered up the courage and walked a few steps forward into the cave. The surrounding light dimmed, but after adapting to the dim environment, she gradually saw the inside of the cave. Behind the arch was a natural cave. , As if the traces of artificial axe chiseling outside were just to decorate the entrance of this cave. Like most glacier caves here, the inner wall of the cave is made of smooth ice, but the cave is not deep, extending inward 20 or 30 feet, and then abruptly stopped, being cut off by a vertical ice wall.
Freya couldn't help widening her eyes. What about the owner of that little fairy? There is nothing in the cave.
But just as she was puzzled, the ice wall in front of her melted suddenly, forming a small door, and then a voice said: "Please come in, Miss Freya."
"You know me?" Freya asked, startled.
But the voice didn't answer. Freya was nervous and curious. She was actually very worried about the safety of Brando, Nimesis and the little prince at this moment, but she didn't know where she was. She waited for a while, seeing that the voice didn't mean to speak any more, so she had to lower herself, half-bending and passing through the small door on the ice wall. The thick ice wall was about ten feet long. After passing through the small door, I suddenly felt a bright light in front of my eyes, and the surrounding temperature had risen by several degrees. It was no longer the cold in the valley before, but there was a warm breath. Freya raised her head in surprise and found that behind the ice wall was a very pleasant room, just like the furnishings of those nobles' study rooms she had seen in Ampersel. There were tables and high chairs in the room. There are bookshelves and a fireplace. The floor is covered with thick carpets. The fireplace is burning with bright flames. The bookshelves are full of books. There are silver candlesticks and dinner plates on the table. The candlelight is soft and the dinner plate. The table was full of various kinds of food, and the food was steaming hot, as if it had just been brought out of the oven.
The room was empty, but someone automatically pulled a chair for Freya, put a plate, knife and fork on it, as if asking her to take a seat. "Please sit down." The voice sounded again, saying.
Freya knew that if she didn't do what the other party said, the voice might not pay attention to herself, so she hesitated and sat on it. Immediately, a white porcelain tea cup flew down from the shelf next to her and placed it in front of her, and then the silver teapot on the table seemed to be held up by an invisible hand, tilted slightly to pour tea for her.
The tea is beautiful red, like agate in a cup.
Freya was a little bit cramped. She put her hands on her knees, suddenly remembering what she had learned in etiquette class, and subconsciously said, "Thank you."
The voice seemed to see the restraint of the girl from the Buche countryside, and couldn't help laughing.
"Don't be nervous," he said, "Don't be nervous, it hasn't been a long time to entertain guests here."
Freya breathed in lightly. She didn't know what it meant that she hadn't treated guests for a long time, did she mean that guests had been treated here, or what else did she mean. She asked suspiciously, "Hello, are you the master of this place? Did you save me?"
"We'll discuss this issue later. You can taste my tea first." The voice replied gently.
Drinking something of unknown origin in a completely unfamiliar place is not a wise thing, but Freya felt that the other party didn't need to do anything more. She hesitated, but still patiently held up the white porcelain tea cup and took a sip. The black tea is very delicious, with a strong milky taste. After taking it, it feels as if all the fatigue is gone. Even the soreness caused by falling asleep in the snow disappears in an instant, but where is she thinking about drinking tea, only But after taking a sip, he put down the cup with both hands pretentiously.
"How?" the voice asked.
"Well, very good, thank you for the hospitality." Freya replied carefully.
"It seems you are worried?"
Freya is not a fool, and now she can confirm that the other party is the owner of this place.
"Because I don't know where this is, I am confused."
"This is just a'place' because it has no essential difference from other'places'. If you seriously consider this question, you will find that it is not important to you, right?" The voice replied.
Freya thinks this statement is weird, but it cannot be said to be wrong. What she really cares about is not where she is, but how far away from Brando and Nimesis. She nodded honestly: "Yes, what I worry about is my companions, and I lost them. Sorry, I didn't mean to trouble you, but can you help me get out of here?"
She paused: "...Or, or you can tell the fairies."
"Don't worry," the voice said: "Miss Freya, don't worry, I have brought each of you from this place because I want you to do me a favor."
"You are leading us?" Freya thought of the stag she had seen outside, and she couldn't help but believe in her heart: "But who are you, and how can we help you?"
"My strength has declined very much, but it is not difficult to attract you here, because I know the purpose of your coming here, so I only need to tell you the direction." The voice laughed: "To make a long story short, after all Time is running out. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Milondal, according to the Cruz people's name-Milos."
Pata, the tea cup in Freya's hand fell on the tray, and she didn't even notice the tea splashed on the tablecloth. Before coming here, she hadn't even heard of the name, but soon, the name was carved into her memory like the glaciers and wind and frost in this forest, Brando said again. It echoed in her heart again and again, and she was stunned.
"you you you… "
"You guessed it right, I am the first frost giant in this world. They respect me as father, and you humans call me a deity. I accept all these names, because I have such qualifications."
"But..." Freya wanted to say, but since the stars fell to the ground, the gods have already left this world. Legend has it that they went away with the Twilight Dragon and never returned, although people built many of their buildings in Warnd. The shrine is used to commemorate the era when gods and people coexisted, but everyone knew that the era of mortals had already come. But this one could not say anything, she had been stunned by the sudden news.
"Are you confused?" The voice seemed to see what she was thinking.
Freya finally calmed herself down and nodded.
"In fact, you don't have to be so surprised. Milos is already dead. I'm just a myth left by a great will."
"Myth?"
"People's thoughts will linger over and over again on the problems they most want to solve in their lifetime. This myth will occasionally become a ghostly existence, but if your own existence is too strong, this kind of thinking will become somewhat In essence, it's like being like me." The voice replied gently.
"Are you saying that something is bothering you, but shouldn't the gods be omniscient and omnipotent?"
"Maybe only Master Martha can be omniscient and omnipotent. We just think more than you, but my myth has nothing to do with you. It's just mediocre. But today I want you to do me a favor, Freya , This matter is not only related to you, your partners, and the owner of the young Valhalla. I know him, don’t I?"
"Brando?" Freya almost stood up in shock.
The voice did not answer, but Freya had a weird feeling, feeling the other side nodded silently.
"What do you want me to do for you?" Freya had to ask cautiously, although she thought it must be something wrong, a problem that even the gods are bothered by, how can she help.
There was a moment of silence in the house.
"I want you to stop my resurrection."
After a while, the voice slowly said.
"What!" Freya bounced from her chair as if she had been electrocuted, as if hearing the most incredible thing since her birth, her face was full of consternation: "What did you say!?"
"Prevent my resurrection, Freya."
"That great will is gradually waking up from the darkness. You don't understand what will happen, but for the whole Vaughan, this is an unpredictable destiny. The age of gods is over. This has nothing to do with myths, I I don’t know the answer to that question, but the azure knight has already given you an answer. This answer cannot be rewritten, Freya."
