Chapter 4: Crystal City
Being surrounded by more than two dozen tall and mighty snowmen is not something to be optimistic about no matter how you look at it.
The atmosphere was quite tense, and danger seemed imminent.
"Bang dang, bang dang!" The sound of weapons falling to the ground one after another, I saw those snowmen suddenly kneeling on the ground, kowtowing and worshiping, as if they had seen something amazing.
"Which of you two is moving?" Mr. Hat looked at the snowmen's appearance, and guessed that it must be Dumb or Xiaolong who used the spell on these snowmen, but neither of these guys could speak, so Mr. Hat's question can only be a mystery forever.
"Wow, it's the first time I've seen a snowman like this. The elf's voice came, and everyone looked closely, and saw that the snowmen were all respectful, as if they were preparing to lead the way.
"Dumb, tell these snowmen to get their vehicles ready and we're going to Crystal City. Mr. Hat's voice suddenly rang out.
"Crystal City?" Anne felt as if she had heard the name somewhere.
"If we want to leave the Ice Hell, we must go to Crystal City, where there is a magic circle that connects to the other hells. Mr. Hat explained why he said this.
"Crystal City?" The elf was stunned for a moment when he heard the name, and suddenly seemed to remember something.
"Isn't Crystal City where their Yeti Patriarch lives? That old youkai is terrifying, I don't want to go. The elf struggled to jump off the three-headed dog, but was held down by Anne.
"Sister, don't be afraid, the patriarch of the Yeti Clan may have met us. Anne said, remembering the matter of the four elf patriarchs cloth magic array to deal with Dumb, judging from the situation at the time, although the patriarch of the Yeti clan is powerful, he should not be Dumb's opponent.
"I've also seen that old monster, he's really strong, I'm afraid that the little brother is not his opponent. The elf's eyes were wide and serious, and she could see that she really didn't want everyone to be in danger.
"Speaking of which, we were invited by the Yeti Patriarch!" Mr. Hat said suddenly, "Although I don't know what happened before, we went to the deepest parts of Hell, and the Yeti Patriarch did his part. From this point of view, it is somewhat unreasonable not to visit him in his palace. You feel right, dumb!"
Although it was a question that would not get a verbal response, Dumb seemed to be moved by Mr. Hat's words. I walked up and talked to the snowmen about something.
The two dozen snowmen obediently led the way, and the group walked to the outside of the snowman village below the mountain.
From a distance, the entire village was made entirely of ice. The ice was neatly cut into pieces, and houses were built one by one. The size of the room is also amazing, and it is understandable to think of the tall figure of the snowman. The shape of the house is also very chic, and it looks like one big steamed bun after another.
Considering that there are more snowmen in the village, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Mr. Hat reminds Dumb to let the snowman get the car outside the village. The group and a dog succeeded in getting a means of transportation, a beautiful snowmobile pulled by eight reindeer. Originally, the seat was designed for the tall body of the snowman, and the three of them sat in it, and there was obviously a lot of surplus. Happily saying goodbye to the Yeti family, the group declined the escort sent by the Snowmen, and the group left the Snowman's village.
"It's a special means of transportation for the patriarch of the Yeti clan, it's really luxurious. As soon as Anne calmed down, she was startled when she heard the elf say this.
"Is this what the Snowmen just said, why did the Snowmen give us their chief's vehicle?" asked the elf.
"It's useless for you to ask this little guy about this, I suspect it's a dumb ghost. Mr. Hat speculated, but Dumb didn't say a word, didn't react at all. Xiaolong was tired of playing this time, and went back to Dumb's arm to rest. The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
The three-headed dog ran behind the car, and the sound of violent exhalation attracted everyone's attention.
"Little Doudou, you're too lacking in exercise. Anyway, you have four legs, and it's so hard to chase a snowmobile!" shouted Mr. Hat, teasing the three-headed dog behind him.
The three-headed dog ran hard and whined aggrievedly.
With the means of transportation, the movement of the group is much faster. Because it was in hell, there was no sun to refer to, and I couldn't figure out how long it took. I just saw that the scenery around me kept changing, going up a slope and going down a slope. Turning a mountain, and rounding a sea.
Not knowing what was wrong with her, Anne found that no matter how long she had been going through, she never seemed to feel hungry or thirsty. Remembering this, Anne asked Mr. Hat. Mr. Hat just deduced that he was a dumb ghost, and all the incredible sights seemed to be taken for granted now. I don't know if it's because the world is different, or if there are other reasons.
Finally, after I don't know how long it took, the group came to Crystal City, the core of Ice Hell.
"This place is truly magnificent!" Standing on the hillside, looking down at the imposing buildings below, a sense of reverence arises. "Is this city really capable of being done by man?" Anne wondered as she looked at the tall shape and exquisite architecture.
"How can I say this, a large part of this city is the work of divine power, and a large part is the transformation of demons. Do you know who built this city?" Mr. Hat sold a pass for Anne to guess the origin of Crystal City.
"I guess it's made by angels, doesn't the old monster keep saying angels angels?" the elf's name for Mr. Hat changed after all the way. However, her thinking is also difficult to grasp, obviously Mr. Hat is talking about demons, and in her case the building was made by angels.
"Elf, you're so good, you've been fooled. Mr. Hat laughed, "Crystal City was created by the combination of the Angel Ice Angel who guards the Ice Hell and the Archdemon Demont Ogunte. Mr. Hat startled Anne with a startling remark.
"Aren't angels specially designed to destroy demons, how can they join forces with demons?" Anne couldn't understand what Mr. Hat said, and asked her own question.
"The perception that angels specialize in destroying demons is a common misunderstanding of angels. In fact, really speaking, angels are actually used to maintain order. Mr. Hat thought for a moment, and tried to explain in a language that Anne could understand.
"But in "God Says", the demons will fight once they meet the angels, how to explain this?" Anne felt that Mr. Hat was talking nonsense, refreshing her cognition.
The book "God Says" is only a part of the truth about this world, and there are many other things that cannot be explained in detail because of the limited space of the book. For example, the angels mentioned in the book are not gods, not humans, not demons, but they can actually be said to be something else. Mr. Hat thought for a moment, and said mysteriously, "It's better not to tell you too much about angels now, and when we meet the ice angels later, you may be able to understand what I said." I'll tell you a little bit about the order of the world, or you can understand why I'm saying that. ”
"Hmm," Mr. Hat hesitated for a moment as if in thought, and continued, "The world we live in now is where the demons live. If you have read "God Says", you may know that the old one once fought with Demont Ogunt. As the boss of the demons, Demont later led the demons and forced them to retreat to hell. The living environment of this place, as you have seen, is not suitable for human survival. Since that war, the human realm in which human society is located and the underworld in which hell is located have been separated, and the world created by the creator God has been redivided. As he spoke, Mr. Hat seemed to be more and more distracted, and stopped his tirade.
"Dumb, are we going into town now? There are so many snowmen down there, you need to get ready. Mr. Hat kindly reminded Dumb.
"Babble!" Dumb said something, and the little dragon on his arm seemed to be woken up, and after a "shivering" sound, the little dragon climbed on top of Dumb's head, standing on Mr. Hat's body and looking ahead with contempt.
"You two are planning to fight together!" Mr. Hat made a guess as he felt the formation of Dumb and Xiaolong.
"Giggle!" the little dragon laughed.
The group and a dog left the vehicle and swaggered towards Crystal City.
"Babble!" Dumb said the elf's so-called ancient magic script, and after a while, the earth shook. The crystal city shook violently, and after a while, the city gate opened, and teams of snowmen lined up in a neat queue to welcome the arrival of Dumb and his party.
"Mr. Hat, is this really Jacks' magic?" Anne saw the snowmen fighting respectfully, and admired Dumb from the bottom of her heart.
"He's not actually using magic. Mr. Hat denied Anne's claim, "Dumb, this kid has a strange origin, and may not be bound by any laws in this world." Originally, he didn't wake up, but now that he has awakened, it's actually normal for these snowmen to treat him like this. ”
At this time, Dumb walked in front like a dumb man. Follow the procession of snowmen to greet him, like a king patrolling his territory, holding his head high. The little dragon stood on his head, and he also looked like he was flying and domineering. This person and dragon seemed to be in their own home, and after a while, they led Anne, the elf and the three-headed dog to the front of the core palace of Crystal City.
