Chapter 304: The Tip of the Iceberg

"At that time, I seemed to hear the Admiral say, don't come, wait..." Nagato paused, looked at Lord Lie, and said, "I didn't hear the last few words, but I think what the Admiral said should be - wait for you." ”

Ryo raised his head and kept looking at Ainari... It's far away, but if you use the soul network to improve your eyesight, you can still see it.

It's really strange to say, the iceberg is obscured by a layer of white fog from the bottom to the halfway point of the mountain, so it can't be seen, but the top is very clear.

Aina seemed to be frozen, and stood there stiffly... Of course, no matter how much she shouted here, Aina did not respond.

"So you didn't go down?" Lie then asked, "So, who went down?"

"Yamato and Bismarck jumped into the water first, followed by Makoto, Kaga, Daiho... The big mackerel also went, and..."

Yeol closed his eyes... If according to Nagato, it is impossible for them to be met by Lie... Moreover, the sincerity that Lie met did not have any memories of this place.

"Every ship that jumped in, after crossing the river, was shrouded in white fog, and I was never seen again..."Nagato said, "So, when the number of ship girls who went down reached a certain number, I went in person..."

"It's just that the admiral's voice was heard at the critical moment, so it didn't continue. Nagato sighed, it seemed that it was close at hand, but it was a world away.

"In other words, rescuing Aina is simple... Just jump into the river, climb the iceberg, and bring Sister Ai back. Lie smiled: "Perhaps, I will be able to meet your admiral in a while." ”

"Lord Lie!" the lion and Nagato stood in front of Lie, very worried... Although they think that Lord Lie will be able to rescue their Admiral, if Lord Lie also makes a mistake, it is really hopeless.

Besides, there are also fierce ship girls... Now there are more deep seas, and they can't suffer the same pain as Nagato and lions.

"Nagato also said just now, Sister Ai said to wait for me to come, right?" Lie took a step forward, gently pushed the lion and Nagato away, and said, "In that case, you should trust me a little more." ”

"This" Lion and Nagato glanced at each other, they naturally trusted Lie very much, and they also wanted to save the Admiral very much...

"Xi, stay here obediently. Lie turned around and said to Xi. Xi was very well-behaved, and after the Admiral made a decision, he didn't stop it, but just nodded firmly.

The lion and the long gate pushed open, and Lie walked to the front and saw a circle of glaciers. Jeol closes his eyes, and before the regular path, Jeol wants to try the unconventional way first... For example, space transfer!

"Well, I really can't take a trick. With a bitter smile, there was no way to use spatial transfer within the range of the iceberg. And this sense of hindrance is stronger than ever.

"You can only take it one step at a time. Lie unfastened his cloak, and Xi stood behind the Admiral and took it into his hand.

"Wait. As he spoke, he gestured the thumbs and forefingers of both hands into a rectangle and looked at Aina at the top of the iceberg.

"Sister Ai, I'm here. Lie jumped lightly and jumped into the glacier... Like the shipwrecks who jumped in at the beginning, they were directly covered by the white fog and could no longer be seen.

"How's it going?" Lion and Nagato's eyes looked at Xi... As the deep sea where he signed the soul network contract with Lie, there was a very, very strong feeling between Xi and the Admiral, and it was so close.

"Admiral," Xi said, looking surprised and confused, "It seems... Not here anymore?"

"No!" Xi suddenly became very determined, and said, "The Admiral is here... It's just that it can't be sensed anymore..."

The lion and Nagato looked at each other... They couldn't feel each other anymore, and they thought that Lord Lie would be better if he just entered.

Now, Xi, Shi, and Nagato glanced at each other, and could only wait for Lord Lie to take Master Aina out.

The moment he jumped down, he felt the cold that pierced his bone marrow the moment he was covered by the glacier. But Lie's consciousness was quite clear, and he could even turn over and look at Xi, Shi, and Nagato on the shore.

It's just that the top of the head is very heavy and can't float to the sea. What Lie cares about the most is that after entering the ice river, the artifact fragments in his body react!

It was a wave of energy emitted from the artifact fragment that enveloped the flames and kept him awake... Lie looked around, and under his feet was the bottom ice bed that he could see, and there was nothing around him, so he could only swim forward.

Lie began to move towards the bottom of the iceberg, where there should be no more obstacles to the landing.

"Bang la", scorching the river, unusually biting cold, but made himself more sober. At the same time, I am also very confused... Since Chicheng and the others jumped into this place in the first place, why did they appear in another place?

Lie didn't quite understand, but it was always right to swim forward, and Lie was getting closer and closer to the iceberg.

"What is this?" Lie found more and more undercurrents as he approached the iceberg... When these undercurrents hit Lie's body, they were blocked by the special energy emitted by the artifact fragments and retreated to the side.

"Do you mean?" Lie had a guess... Chicheng and the others don't have artifact fragments, and they may not be able to stay awake in the river. At the same time, he couldn't stop the undercurrent, and then, under the effect of an ability that he couldn't understand yet, he drifted to other seas, and lost this part of his memory.

Perhaps, the strength has also been affected by some factors, resulting in being caught by the deep sea.

In terms of time, it can barely match, but it is a little too unbelievable, and although Lie guesses so, he can't believe it.

Where icebergs and glaciers come into contact, there are so many undercurrents that it is almost impossible to land. It's just that Lie has artifact fragments as protection and floats up directly.

Just as Lie expected, this place can be exposed to the water, and there is no way to go into the water just now.

"Is this?" Lie stretched out his hand, and he couldn't see it outside, it was actually snowing on the iceberg!

If it looks like seven or eight hundred meters tall from the outside, here it is no less than three thousand meters! Such a high iceberg, with an area of hundreds of kilometers, is not even noticeable from the outside?

At the same time, Lie turned around and looked at the opposite bank, where he had jumped.

"Hey, Xi~, Lion~, Nagato!" Lie looked at it loudly, he could see them, and even his expressions could be seen... Unfortunately, they don't seem to see or hear.

The wind and snow fell on Lie's face, and after Lie came up from the glacier, he had a slight eyebrow here... A glowing object appeared in the palm of Lie's hand, and that was the artifact fragment!

After landing ashore, Ryu gets new information from the artifact fragments... The reason why this is the case here is because of the artifact... It's not this fragment of Lie, but the artifact scepter that can be completed with just this fragment.

In other words, the formation of this space has a lot to do with the incomplete artifact scepter... Lie is here to be protected because he has the last core fragment.

After confirming this, Lie's faith was even greater, so he walked forward... Then, Lie saw... Road?

Yes, it's the road, a very complete road! At the foot of the iceberg, there is another staircase leading to the top of the mountain! The step spiral, it seems that as long as you climb up, you can reach the top of the mountain.

Looking elsewhere, there are cliffs everywhere, and it is impossible to move forward.

Lie shook his head, although there was a feeling of being deliberately guided, but it was true that he didn't see any other way... When Lie came to the first staircase, he didn't go up easily, but squatted down to investigate.

Like a bed of ice, it seems to have special powers in addition to the cold... Lie was protected by artifact fragments, and while not being harmed, he couldn't feel it.

Looking up, I'm afraid there are tens of thousands of steps?

"Can you really go up?" Lie was puzzled, and after a pause, he slowly stepped out.

A strong wind mixed with snow blew on Lie... It was clear that it was not just a blizzard, because the artifact fragments shone again, and a special force protected Lie.

Knowing that the artifact fragments were still useful after coming up, they didn't stop and climbed the stairs. Although it seems endless, as long as you go up one step at a time, there will always be an end.

After coming to this space, Ryu felt cut off from his surroundings, and if he had to say anything, it didn't seem like the first time Ryu had felt this way.

Chu Lie was rescued because of the spatial transfer ability of the artifact fragment of the awakening, and then went to the ruins... In the special space of the ruins, as in this place, there is no contact with the outside world until you go out.

"This is also a ruin-like place?"

Thinking of this, Lie flipped his wrist... Akashi's black-tech longsword appeared in his hand. You know, the space inside the ruins was quite unsafe.

Step by step, the wind and snow became heavier and heavier, blurring the vision. At this moment, Lie saw a dark shadow in front of him... Is that, a bear?

“…”

After Lie walked in, his pupils constricted, it was not a bear, but a familiar figure.

Also, although the ladder is long, it is not always a ladder... Lie probably walked two or three hundred steps, or more... After coming in, Lie was a little vague about the time, and even the road he had walked.

However, after walking some distance, Lie found that there was still a resting platform above the stairs. The most important thing is the figure that Lie just saw... It's Aina's shipwreck - Yamato!

Yamato, known as "Yamato Nadeshiko", looks very gentle on the outside.,It's very similar to the palace.,It's also a mature big sister.。

Yamato's eyes were open, but he was very unfocused, and his body had been frozen by the wind and snow, and he was very stiff. The only thing to be thankful for is that Yamato has not lost its vitality, albeit in the bleak worst.

Lie's hand is on Yamato's chest... It's extremely cold, and it doesn't have the softness of steamed buns at all!

“…”

Ahem, Ryu is just trying to determine if Yamato still has a heartbeat... Fortunately, it was faint, but it was still beating. Although the body structure of the ship girl is different from that of humans, if the heart is still beating, it must be no problem.

"This is?" Lie found that the artifact fragment appeared again, emitting a soft light that shrouded Yamato's body. As if snow met sunlight, Yamato's body was no longer cold and stiff, and gradually warmed up.

An extremely cold aura escaped from Yamato's body, and Riol could feel that this was not the same as ordinary cold, but a strange power.

Probably, it was this power that trapped Yamato, and now it is dispersed.

Soon, Yamato's body became soft... At the same time, it is full of water mist~.

Ahem, Ryu looked away, then picked up Yamato and laid it flat on the ice. It's a resting platform, but it's a bit intimate.

The originally pale face showed a hint of redness, and the empty eyes also showed a hint of brilliance... It seems that Yamato is about to wake up.

Suddenly, the artifact fragment returned to Ryo's body, and the layer of light that enveloped Yamato also dissipated.

"Lord Lie?" Yamato looked at the man in front of him, very surprised... Also, where is this?

Looking at his hands, Yamato said suspiciously, "Lord Lie, isn't Yamato washing vegetables for you and the Admiral, why are you here?"

“…”

What kind of development is this?A thought popped into Lie's mind, but was it really like that?

Yamato slowly stood up from the ice and looked around in confusion... Obviously it wasn't like this just now, why... Wait, where was it just now?

Yamato's memories come back to my mind like a spring... It turned out that she had a dream.

After the communication between Lie and Yamato, the whole thing was basically figured out... At the beginning, seeing that the admiral was trapped on the top of the iceberg, Yamato, Bismarck and other shipwives immediately jumped into the river to rescue them.

Unexpectedly, the glacier has another world, there is an undercurrent in it, and everything that is swept up does not know where it is swept after some struggle to no avail. What worries them the most is that they lose contact with the outside world after they come in, even if they seem to be close, the outside world just can't hear their shouts.

When they crossed the glacier and came to the foot of the iceberg, some of the ship's mothers... Such as Akagi, Kaga, Daiho, etc., have all lost their traces because of the undercurrent.

Looking at the towering staircase in front of him, although he was full of doubts, the Admiral was at the top of the iceberg, so the remaining Yamato and Bismarck climbed up hand in hand.

It's a pity that imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel. Holding hands didn't do much, and as soon as I climbed the steps, I was blown away by the strong wind.

As for Yamato, I just remember that after I was separated, I kept walking to it, crawling layer by layer, level by layer, until I fell into a coma... No, it should be said that falling into a dream!

According to the situation here, Yamato must have stopped moving forward, and her consciousness was in a dream.

What kind of dream did Yamato have?Lie was curious and asked....Looking at her reaction when she woke up, it seemed that she still had herself!

"This~" After Yamato regained consciousness, he blushed a little, and at this time, he heard Lord Lie ask, so he looked around at the scenery!

Ahem, obviously, Yamato won't say it at this time. Ryu no longer asked, but cast a soul network that covered Yamato's body.

Yamato obviously knew what Lie-sama was going to do, so he naturally lay down... Ahem, just to check if there is anything abnormal in the body.

“…”

"Eat this, add a little more..."Lie took out a piece of snack... Because I didn't expect to meet Yamato, I didn't prepare their supplies.

What is given to Yamato now is the rations that Lie has prepared for himself... Hawkers, since you met Yamato, maybe Bismarck is also on it.

In addition, Yamato's body is not a big problem except for being relatively weak, which makes Lie feel a lot more relieved.
