Chapter 12: The Frozen Coffin
Huge clusters of ice crystals were piled up in the cave, and ice cubes hanging from the roof of the cave were scattered throughout the cave, and the walls were inlaid with crystals every meter, and a crystal coffin was placed in the deepest part of the cave. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Through the reflection of the ice crystals, you can see the woman who is completely enclosed in it.
She lay peacefully as if she were asleep, her hands on her chest, her eyes closed, lying on her back, her skin imprinted with the light reflected by crystals, and only the blood on her chest soaked in her clothes showed her current state.
"Elaine, I'm back, I'm back, Elaine......"
Matthew knelt down, lying on the girl's cold crystal coffin, tears couldn't stop flowing out of his eyes, and the stalk quickly interrupted his few words, saying something inaudible.
No one could disturb him.
The atmosphere inside the cave was suddenly sad and terrible, and Matthew's murmurs and sobs were mixed and filled the surroundings.
It spreads to everyone and makes everyone moved.
It wasn't until she saw this scene that Kahlil felt that her tear ducts were a little too developed, and she secretly glanced at the two people next to her and wiped her eyes with her cuffs.
It wasn't until a few minutes later that he gradually calmed down and began to whisper to Elaine.
Matthew is now immersed in the world of two people, and began to tell her little by little about the events of the last few years, no matter how big or small, no matter how long or short, although Elaine is destined to have no answer, but Matthew is still unspeakably happy. It's like when I sat at home with my wife and chatted.
Tears still slowly rolled down her cheeks, refreshing the tears on her happy smile.
Kahlil found a large crystal near Matthew and sat down, watching Matthew sit next to Elaine's ice coffin, telling about his life during this time, while stroking the cold crystal.
Barrett had already dragged Kiyoshi to the outside of the cave, and the two of them were standing together in the snow, not knowing what they were thinking.
After listening for a few more minutes, Matthew's loving whispers made Carlil a little unbearable to continue to disturb them, and she wanted to go out and avoid the situation with Barrett and Kiyoji......
However, there are some questions that need to be confirmed.
She secretly touched her eyes with her cuffs again, trying to see more clearly.
The huge ice coffin was extremely transparent, and it was vaguely visible that the inner layer of the shell was carved with a layer of magic array lines, and the position of the lines could hardly be seen due to the gradual lack of magic power supply.
The ice coffin seemed to be filled with liquid at first, and Elaine's crimson shawl hair had some fluttering sensations, but now it was completely fixed inside.
In fact, this ice coffin has almost completely suspended life, and perhaps if the magic is enough, it can seal the human being inside forever.
Sealing is possible, but if it takes too long, it will run into another important problem.
Karil could barely feel the magic on the shell, a technology that had not yet appeared in her time, and she didn't quite understand how far magic alone could go, but with her understanding, she could also deduce another reason why it could not be delayed any longer, in addition to the lack of magic.
"We have to go......"
Matthew finally said pretty much all the bits and pieces and returned to the main purpose of this time.
"Twenty years is already the limit, I hope the God of Light can bless us ......"
Twenty years.
I'm afraid that if this continues, even if the wound is completely recovered, people will not be able to wake up......
The body can function normally, but the consciousness will never wake up again.
Karil looked at Elaine's chest, and although the simple thick cloth covered the wound, the blood soaked in the cloth still oozed out, and some of the blood was floating in the ice coffin, full of a bloody artistic atmosphere.
The wound looks very large.
Kahlil roughly estimated, and couldn't know exactly how big the wound was, but it was still possible to estimate how much it would be from the formation of blood spots. It's a miracle that he can still survive this level of penetrating damage, and it can be understood why Matthew himself doesn't have much hope.
And putting Elaine in this snowy mountain, plus some of Matthew's previous words, Carlil already has a rough idea of what he wants to do, and it is indeed a choice worth considering, but no one knows if it will really succeed.
"We'll leave later, I've been there several times, you can't go wrong, I've already brought two magicians, I'm sure you can activate it......"
Matthew stood up a little tremblingly, and as he spoke, he cleaned the crystal cluster attached to the ice coffin with his hands.
"I'll take you there, no matter what the result is, we will definitely be able to ...... together"
Matthew pushed the ice coffin with both hands, severing the link between the entire ice coffin and the crystals on the ground.
Then he took a deep breath and lifted Elaine's entire ice coffin and carried it on his shoulder.
As all the connected crystal clusters were severed, it was clear to Kahlil that the last faint traces of magic on the shell had vanished.
"Let's go......" Matthew carried the ice coffin on his shoulder, and the heavy ice coffin was gently lifted by Matthew like a feather, "Let's go, the glass sanctuary ......"
Sure enough, this is it.
Carlil stood up with Matthew, watching him carry the ice coffin, just thinking that it didn't seem to be of much help.
"You, found it?"
Karil asked with a final groan.
"Yes, I found it......"
The Glass Chapel, a building that has been forgotten in the snowy mountains.
It was once the alchemy workshop of a great sage, who transformed it into a huge alchemy product when the sage left the snowy mountain, in which the complex and intricate alchemy array gave the Glass Sanctuary a powerful function.
-- To put it simply: the living dead, flesh and bones.
The sage gave the Glazed Sanctuary to a friend who lived in Icefield City as a gift to his friend before leaving the snowy mountain, and the building was once famous in the world, but it was buried in the snowy mountain due to the death of the last person who knew its location.
By now, I'm afraid that many people only know its name in the ancient archives......
"It's been more than 200 years, do you think it can still be used?"
Kahlil had no doubts about Matthew's discovery, the Glass Sanctuary was indeed near the Snow Mountain, and she had just remembered the exact location.
"I just believe it works, don't I" Matthew gradually recovered from the emotion he had just had, "you know it"
Of course Karil knew...... She had to know. And probably no one knows more about the Glass Sanctuary itself than she does in this era.
Matthew didn't say anything more, and walked out of the cave with Elaine's ice coffin, and Carlil hurriedly followed.
Barrett and Kiyoshi saw Matthew come out, ended the conversation with Si Si Soso, and walked over to Matthew.
"Is it better?" Barrett looked at Elaine, but said nothing.
"I was rude just now...... Matthew shook his head, "I'll ask for your help later." ”
"You're the head of the regiment." Barrett smiled, all you need to do is make a decision, and everything will be taken for granted.
"You're the head of the regiment." Qing Xi gently patted Matthew's shoulder and said lightly.
"Thank you...... So...... Let's move on. ”
Matthew lifted the ice coffin up a little, he didn't know how to express his complicated emotions for a while, and after thinking about it, he finally decided to end the topic of the three-person room, turned around directly, and led the three of them in the direction of the mountain.
"Do you know where this is going?" Barrett asked softly as she hurried over Karil.
Although the beautiful words were said before, Barrett was still not very reassured.
"You know there's a place called the Glass Sanctuary," an old magician, and Carlil thought she should know about these things.
"The Glass Sanctuary?!" Barrett's eyes widened, "Did you find it?" ”
Sure enough, I know.
"Yes, it should be," Karil replied.
It's not a big problem......
Even if Matthew didn't find the Glass Sanctuary, Kahlil would have been able to take them there, and the route was clear now.
But if you can find it, you can find it, can you activate the effect of refining the array, can you save Elaine...... Honestly, Karil felt that the possibility was real...... Only say slim.
"Let's hope a miracle happens......"
Carlil was a little distracted for a moment, forgetting Barrett's question, and whispered to herself.
"What?" Barrett didn't hear clearly.
"No, nothing, we'll make it."
The three of them followed behind Matthew, walking slowly.
"You say the Glass Sanctuary? That's the work of the sage Natalia Vita of the previous generation."
Barrett didn't really know what the Glass Sanctuary was, he only felt that Natalia's name was somewhat reliable.
"But, after all, almost two hundred years have passed......
Kahlil was very unconfident, she was a little distraught and followed everyone along, stepping into the snow one foot deep and one foot shallow, here as far as the eye could see, there was only continuous white snow everywhere, and when she was in a low mood, she looked at an inexplicable despair.
The route is right, Matthew has indeed found it.
"That's right, just go over that mountain and watch the afternoon sun walk."
Carlil thought, distracted from time to time, not knowing what she was thinking.
But at this time, Seongci and Matthew suddenly stopped almost at the same time.
"Wait, what's ......"
