When the astrology spell card in Bai Huo's hand was lit up, the ice fortress hidden in the gap between time and space revealed its true face to everyone. On the originally empty ice field, a large piece of ice wall like a blade suddenly appeared. Layers of ice barriers rose one after another like the fangs of wild beasts on both sides of the road. In the dark night sky in the distance, aurora-like , like mirage-like phantoms, and those translucent phantoms quickly become solid under the starlight, and in an instant they become towering city walls and pointed towers. As Hao Ren drove forward, the surrounding light and shadows were constantly changing rapidly. The original arctic ice field scene and the hidden ice fortress appeared alternately, making it almost difficult to distinguish what was real and what was illusory. And when all this finally stabilized, everyone had already arrived at the gate of a majestic giant city, and the "Millennium Palace" of the demon hunter welcomed the visitors with its incredible magnificence.
Just like the name of this fortress, Ice Fortress is a fortress of ice and snow standing in the extreme north. The word "ice" not only comes from the thousands of miles of ice in the North Pole, but also from the building materials of this castle. . Everyone was stunned to find that this is a real "ice city": a huge, almost cliff-like ice wall stands in front of them, completely frozen with the ground under their feet, and the ice rocks are covered with carved stones. Numerous narrow windows and downward-extending ice blades are built by hand. Layers of battlements and arrow towers stand on the top of the fortress, which looks like strange beasts dormant in the darkness of the polar night. Between these structures, you can see Numerous prismatic spiers with rough lines and strange beauty, like the lighthouse on the fortress, shone with magical brilliance in the night sky.
And all of this, made of ice, or at least looks like ice. But the whole fortress didn't look crystal clear, let alone fragile: all the ice layers obviously had something else added, and there were white or black things like smoke clouds rolling and hovering inside those thick ice walls, It is completely opaque, Hao Ren guessed it should be the result of enchantment.
The Ice Castle was built in the twilight era of the gods, with a history of thousands of years. Its style is completely different from any human architecture on the earth, but its majestic and magnificent momentum can blow your face without any style. Hao Ren couldn't help observing the fort carefully. Finally, he saw something familiar from the numerous towers, magical arrow towers, and complicated city wall structure. He suddenly found that this thing was somewhat similar to some ancient buildings in the capital of Holleta.
Demon hunters are the "ultimate beings" created by the magic emperors of Holletta using their source blood. Although they have not had time to produce their own culture, they have inherited the essence of knowledge of the Holletta Magic Empire. This inheritance finally showed its remaining clues: it was the city in front of me.
"How?" Bai Huo was obviously relieved after seeing her familiar homeland, and the burden that had been on her shoulders for the past few days seemed to be a little lighter, and she opened her hands proudly. "Many people who see the Ice Fortress for the first time will be stunned. Its magnificence is unique in the world. It is said that even most temples in the age of mythology cannot compare with it."
"To be honest, I've seen things on a larger scale, but this city is indeed quite spectacular," Lily flicked her tail, trying to emphasize that she was well-informed, then raised her head and looked along the city wall, "... There is not even a single seam in the whole city!"
"The ice and rocks are all fused together, and then sixteen steps of enchanting are carried out to strengthen it. In the end, it will be integrated with the entire ice sheet," Bai Huo nodded, "Thousands of years. The Arctic ice sheet has also undergone many changes, but Only this place where this castle stands is imprisoned by magic. What you are stepping on is the Arctic ice thousands of years ago, which has never changed by a single millimeter."
Elizabeth sat on Y'zaks' shoulder and looked up for a long time, and finally puffed her cheeks and muttered: "It's not as big as my house."
White Fire held up the burning spell card in his hand in front of the city gate. The fire of the rune card was just a few stars in the dark, but as the spell card shone, a giant ice sculpture in the shape of a dragon head embedded on the gate of the Ice Fortress But it immediately brightened up, and with a "cracking" sound, the skull of the dragon shaped by the ice dropped its head. With a hoarse voice: "Open... the door..."
"Boom—"
A loud noise came from behind the gate along with the shaking of the earth, and the huge ice wall that seemed to have been frozen together with the city wall began to rise slowly inexplicably. And a low and desolate horn sounded from the heights of the fort as the gate opened. Hao Ren looked up to the top of the city wall. In the darkness, he saw countless figures swaying vaguely on the battlements, and hundreds of eyes were watching here.
Hao Ren put the car back into the portable space, and walked towards the inside of the fort led by Bai Huo. When he passed through the gate, he suddenly had a question: "Since this base camp is still there, how could you be so embarrassed when you broke out?"
He thought of the situation when the white fire suddenly teleported to the southern suburbs. At that time, the situation of the witcher girl could be described as dying. The ice fortress of Corpus Gate still stands here, so how did Whitefire break out like that
"Do you know where I broke out from?" Bai Huo smiled.
Hao Ren was taken aback: "Where?"
"The deepest part of Corpus, where almost the entire line has fallen," Bai Huo sighed, "The gate in front of you is indeed still in our hands, but Corpus on the opposite side of the gate is almost completely owned by the Presbyterian Church." Territory. I was caught in their siege at that time, and the escape route to the tower of stars was cut off. Originally, I wanted to retreat to the ice fortress to rest for a while, and then use the breath of the blood spar to guide me to you Yes, but I found that there was no way to go, so I opened the space door directly from the depths of the Corpus secret realm. So the injury on my body was not caused by the battle, but the result of being crushed by the space turbulence—any Secret realms are all sealed by space. At that time, it was almost crushed to pieces, but fortunately, an amulet given by the instructor at the last moment helped resist it."
Hao Ren stared at the witcher girl dumbfounded: "Block random teleportation through space? How dare you jump!"
He actually doesn't know much about Bai Huo. After a few limited encounters, his impression of Bai Huo is that he is an immature hunter who possesses great talent but lacks experience. He has combat power but is not as experienced as Nangong Sanba. However, this immature image was shattered in an instant just now—she was more courageous and brave than imagined, jumping in against the turbulent flow of space dislocation, the courage and leaping through the spinning meat grinder blade required No difference!
Lily listened to Bai Huo's conversation with Hao Ren, but she raised her ears and put a question mark on her face: "Is this dangerous? I think I should dare to dance too."
Oh, besides the bravery like Bai Huo, there is another kind of person who dares to do this, and that is the type of heartless Lily...
With a strange sense of expectation and excitement, everyone became the first "foreign race" to step into the holy land of the demon hunter. After passing through the gate of the castle, Hao Ren saw in front of him a fortress made entirely of ice. Countless magic lights illuminated the fortress in the polar night, and armed demon hunters could be seen everywhere in the fortress. However, despite the large number of onlookers, there was no noise at the scene. The hunters in black just stood quietly at their posts and looked at the visitors. expect.
Hao Ren had already expected the warning element in those sights: today is bound to be an unprecedented event for Ice Fortress and the entire group of demon hunters. The regiment not only asked for help from the outside world, but also a group of aliens. Now these "demons" listed as "heretics" in the scriptures are standing in the fortress of the Holy Land in such a grand manner, and they are also being received as guests. Who would dare to think about unprecedented things in the past
If the phenomenon of innate hostility has not completely subsided, if it is not forced by the current situation, if the most stubborn demon hunters are not all in the Presbyterian Church and have become enemies, what happened today would definitely not happen.
An old hunter in a cloak appeared silently as if emerging from the darkness, and quickly walked towards the white fire: "Are they?"
"Master Ksuzov," Bai Huo bowed slightly, and then explained briefly, "These are the leaders of the reinforcements, the large army is behind, and they will arrive at the fort's interlayer in an hour, and someone needs to help them open the astrological barrier. Also about the army I invited... I hope to remind everyone that they look a little weird, and they may be... somewhat similar to those in the age of mythology, but they are indeed on our side."
The old hunter known as Master Ksuzov nodded: "Don't worry, everyone is ready, the situation is like this, an old guy like me should be flexible. And I heard that this matter was caused by Saint Bedolis. Instructions before losing control?"
Although Bai Huo did not pass through the Ice Fortress when she broke through, she had already contacted the fortress through secret techniques when Hao Ren and his party set foot on the North Pole, and told them everything she knew, so the defenders in the fortress Only then can we make corresponding preparations and let foreigners like Hao Ren come in.
"It is indeed the instruction of Saint Bedoris, and it is also the meaning of Elder Hasu and Master Tutan." Bai Huo emphasized the latter two people, then turned slightly sideways, and pointed at Vivian, "Ansai Countess Sta is highly respected, and even the witchers are in awe of her, so she offered to help."
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Countess, for your help regardless of previous suspicions." Master Krsuzov's tone sounded extremely strange, but he still endured the strange atmosphere and greeted Vivienne, "The situation is so embarrassing, it's really..."
"Forget it, don't be polite to me, I will feel bad if you feel uncomfortable," Vivienne waved her hand imposingly, "It's all a friendship that beats each other out of the dog's brains, and whoever is polite to anyone seems fake, or say Let’s talk about the situation on the front line.”
Lily muttered aggrievedly at the side: "Just say it, can you stop knocking out the dog's brain every now and then... The dog provoked you..." (to be continued~^~)
