Chapter 298: The Ice Lake
c_t; The glacial lake is located in the southeast of the town of Master, which is not far away. Before the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info/ reached the lake, you could feel the cold air coming from there. The temperature dropped quickly, and Lucia got goosebumps all over her body. But the surrounding vegetation is still lush, as if it has nothing to do with the temperature. Even the flowers that grow by the lake are in full bloom, and it is a scene full of spring.
But the surface of the huge lake was frozen without a single ripple, let alone the fish in the water. In this lake, everything seems to stand still, in stark contrast to the surrounding scene. However, such a scene is very rare, and it is a place of tranquility that restricts and contrasts with each other.
Lucia took a deep breath and smelled the scent of flowers. She looked up at the sky, and the birds flew leisurely across the blue sky, and the bright sun was shining down.
"What a wonderful place," exclaimed Lucia, "knowing that it is not logical, but yet it is so harmonious!"
"Human beings can't always refuse good things," Xuanyu continued, "but then again, in this world, sometimes common sense is the most useless thing. ”
Lucia couldn't refute, she just sighed. Suddenly remembering something, he pulled the corner of Xuanyu's clothes and said, "Do you feel anything, such as demonic energy?"
Xuanyu smiled bitterly and said, "If you don't count the two of us, there shouldn't be." ”
Lucia was very upset with Xuanyu's constant reminder that she was a blood demon, but now her focus was not here: "So that's not right. ”
"How is it wrong?" said Xuanyu.
"It's different from what the shopkeeper said!"
Xuanyu looked at Lucia innocently blinking her big eyes, wanting to blame but couldn't bear it, but she didn't say something and was unwilling: "What they see is only one side of the matter, how can you not understand it with your identity?"
"You don't tell me if you know it thoroughly!" Lucia puffed out her cheeks, she was a little angry, but that way in the eyes of others was coquettish, "They all say that there are man-eating monsters here, and many tourists have disappeared for no reason, could it be that this monster is not at home today?"
With that, Lucia forced a smile to hide her embarrassment.
Xuanyu glared at her and only said, "Today we will also disappear like those tourists." ”
"How did I forget about this!" Lucia patted her head, "Those who disappeared have entered the Hellish Valley!"
"When the conference is over, they'll be back, but by then, the exit won't necessarily be here. Xuanyu said.
"I don't understand. Lucia looked out at the middle of the lake, "Where the hell is the Valley of the Demons?"
"Another dimension, parallel to the world we live in now, reads;. Xuanyu explained.
"So, there's no road in the world that leads to the Valley of the Demons?" Lucia thought, tilting her head.
"That's right," Xuanyu said, stepping onto the ice and slowly walking towards the center of the lake, "but the Demon Valley is not an island, and even there are ships. ”
Lucia followed, and the two approached the center of the lake at the same speed. With each step, Lucia felt a little more magic power: "The center of the lake is a place where magic gathers!"
"You see, someone opened the passage of the two spaces in advance, and the boat to cross us to the isolated island is already there. Xuanyu calmly pointed ahead.
In Lucia's eyes, the magical power there had become a materialization, like rising smoke from the bottom of the lake to the sky. Her expression was dull for a moment, and she stammered, "Who has so much energy?"
"The people who can start and organize the Demon Sculptor Conference can't be ordinary people, but most of the magic you see comes from the Madness Demon Stygian Valley, which was originally a closed space, and suddenly opened a mouth, and of course the magic will leak out. Xuanyu stared intently at the rising magical power and explained to Lucia.
"This will also cause harm to the human world for a long time, ah, could it be that Jerry died because of the leaking magic!" Lucia guessed.
"Jerry's death is a different story, and the average person can't see it at all, and can't feel it. Xuanyu is still not interested in Jerry's death, "But it is correct to say that it is harmful to the human world, too strong mana injected into the human world will cause various elements to be unbalanced, so this kind of passage will soon be closed." Xuanyu said as she took a few steps forward into the rising mana.
Lucia thinks that the jade will disappear like this, and the effect is similar to that of the magic circle and the heart pumping technique. But she was disappointed, and Xuanyu stood in the middle of the magical power with no change. Lucia also ran in, she was able to sense the presence of magic, but nothing more.
"Is the passage closed?" Lucia wondered, "because we're late?"
"Nope. Xuanyu said, "This kind of passage lasts for a very short time and is extremely unstable, and it is not up to the person who opened the passage to decide when to close, but the only thing that can be confirmed now is that the passage is still there, but the 'gate' is closed." ”
Lucia said blankly: "Since there is a gate, why don't you stop by and get a doorbell!"
Xuanyu laughed lightly: "This door is not the other door, I'm afraid this is the first threshold of the Demon Sculptor Conference, if you can't even open this door, you won't be eligible to participate in the conference." ”
"I sensed a deep contempt for rookies from the organizers. Lucia grumbled.
Xuanyu laughed, her voice was hearty, and she felt very comfortable. Lucia giggled, though she didn't know where it was funny.
"So, open the door. Enough of laughing, Lucia suddenly said, "We can't stand here until it gets dark." ”
"It's certain to open the door, but it's ......"
As soon as Xuanyu's inky eyes rolled, Lucia knew that he was about to have another moth. But this time, Lucia's judgment deviated slightly, and Xuanyu's gaze fell behind Lucia, on the edge of the ice lake.
"But I think we weren't the only ones who were late. After Xuanyu finished speaking, the corners of his mouth began to rise, bending out a good-looking arc, with gentle eyes, which made people unable to pull their eyes out.
Lucia was an outlier, compared to Xuanyu's handsomeness, she was more concerned with satisfying her curiosity, she turned around and saw the man, he had just stepped off the lake, and when he looked up, his eyes met Xuanyu and Lucia. Although far away, Lucia could still see the crimson on the man's face.
"Hello!" the man ran all the way over, and was out of breath by the time he reached the two of them, "you guys...... You're here too...... Did you participate in the Demon Sculptor Conference?"
"That's right. Lucia graciously admitted.
"Great!" the man bent down, holding his knees and kicking in a big gulp. It was a dark-haired man, with the same green eyes as Lucia, and he looked to be in his early twenties, perhaps because of the cold and running, his cheeks were crimson, and his nose was a little red, but he was also a beautiful man overall.
The man panted evenly, and then said slowly: "My name is Crescent, and I came to participate in the Demon Sculptor Conference instead of my uncle, but I can't get in." Can you, and if you can, please take me in!" he bowed deeply.
"Yes, it's not a big deal. The generous Lucia agreed to Crescent's request, which led to a series of words of thanks from the other party, at this time, the nosy Lucia of course could not detect the reproachful gaze from Xuanyu, but the matter had come to this, Xuanyu didn't say anything, he glanced at the polite young man, and frowned slightly.
