Heatham gently touched the ice-blue ring above his head with his tentacles, and he looked at the snow around him.

It was green a few days ago, just early autumn, but now it's ......

Heatham remembered the rainstorm that had taken place, and after the rainstorm a ruined forest gradually came back to life; I remembered the spiders in the forest who weave their webs every day; I thought of the ants who were still working hard to prepare for the winter, even if they were snatched by him; and his old friend, the Brown Slime, who was unable to divide and reproduce by his pit, and finally died completely after being overwhelmed by the ant colony.

He also remembered the countless locusts that had been killed by the traps of the old druids......

In this forest, it is not easy to survive and pass on the bloodline.

"Do you know grasshoppers?"

After a moment of silence, Systham addressed the Ice Elf Nylis, who had decided to tell the other the truth that he was not a Frost Bloodline being.

Sistemm felt the ice-blue ring looking at him, and although the ring had no eyes, Sistemm felt the gaze of the ice elf.

The Ice Elf looked at Cistham's body for a long time, and answered Systham's question: "There are many soft limbs of different lengths, and it is a very strange-looking life. ”

Systm had a strange expression, the ice elf clearly didn't know what grasshoppers were.

Systm said to Nellis, "I am indeed a grasshopper, but ordinary grasshoppers are not like me. ”

After saying this, Syst sent a spiritual message to Nelith, and this time Sistemm did not deliver the words, but sent a video to Nelys, which was the life of an ordinary grasshopper.

"It's a very amazing mental ability, which can not only be used to communicate, but also to transmit images."

Instead of responding to Sistum's spiritual message, Nellis sighed at Sistum's [teleportation], and it didn't take long for her to use [Psychic Connection] to send a video to Sisstem.

In the image, a giant white bear nearly three meters tall with eyes like ice crystals walks and runs through the snow-covered forest from time to time......

Systm noticed that the blue glow from the bear's eyes in the image seemed to be similar to the blue circle of light above his head.

If Sistham's guess is correct, the white bear is supposed to be Nellis's former contractor.

But why does the bear have a pair of blue eyes, while he has a blue circle of light on his head?

Heatham shook his head, he wasn't trying to discuss these things with Nellis, he was trying to tell Nellis that he wasn't a creature with frost blood at all.

He couldn't hide anything without the Frost Blood, and Systham decided to let the other party know in advance to avoid some unforeseen trouble in the future.

"Grasshoppers are insects that don't possess the blood of frost at all, they are very afraid of the cold of winter, and I just accidentally gained the power of frost, so you should have chosen the wrong person." ”

Once again, the Ice Elf scanned Sisttm's body with her distinctive gaze.

It wasn't long before Nellis sent a spiritual message to Systham, "I didn't choose the wrong person, not every creature is born with frost blood. ”

"You're saying that the way I am now, even if it's a life with frost blood?"

"Hmm."

"That's ......"

Heatham fell silent.

But only a short moment later, Systm continued, "Nellis? ”

"Hmm."

"Don't you think the blue circle on my head looks weird?"

"I don't think so."

"Oh...... But I think it's strange, can I change this blue circle of light into something else? ”

"I can't do it, make a contract with different beings, and the ice spirits will change differently, become different, and once formed, they will not change."

"Can't you really change to something else?"

"I can't."

“…… Okay, tell me about the contract, and here, you seem to mention that it's called Lierte Forest......"

……

……

The Ice Elf has been through hundreds of years, and although she has been asleep most of the time, she still knows a lot about the world, and this knowledge and common sense is what Sistrom lacks the most.

From the spiritual messages of the Ice Elve, Heatham had a clearer understanding of the power system of this world.

The vast majority of life in this world is mortal, such as animals and plants on land, fish and shells in water, and most intelligent races, they are basically born mortal.

However, mortal things also have the possibility of mastering magical powers, it is possible to awaken the bloodline inherited by ancestors, it is possible to obtain special inheritance, or it is possible to reach the limit of mortal things and receive the gift of the world.

If it is an intelligent race such as humans and elves, you can further grasp the power of magic through learning.

When the magical power mastered by mortals reaches a certain level, they will advance to magical beings, possessing all kinds of abilities that ordinary beings cannot understand.

Nellis, the Ice Spirit, is a magical being, but she is not a magical life advanced from mortals, but she was born as such.

In addition to the power system of this world, most of the knowledge that Nellis has is related to ice and snow.

She told Sistemm the story of the sleeping god of winter, and the frost dragon of Ora, the lord of the glacier who had inherited the will of winter.

According to Nellis, the Lulte Forest has been covered in snow and ice for thousands of years, but in recent centuries the snow has suddenly melted and it has become a climate with four distinct seasons.

It seems to be related to the sudden disappearance of the glacier lord Ora, but at that time she suddenly fell into a deep sleep, and the exact circumstances are unknown.

Nellis also reveals that the reason for her awakening is the return of Ora, the Lord of the Glaciers.

However, there doesn't seem to be any special connection between Nylith and the Lord of the Glacier, she doesn't say anything more about the Lord of Frost, except that she knows that the ice dragon is called Ola and some stories, and she, like Sistum, doesn't know the real name of the Lord of the Glacier.

And the so-called contract with the Ice Elves, to put it bluntly, is actually a means of symbiosis between the Ice Elves and the creatures containing the frost bloodline.

The Ice Elves provide the power to protect the Frost Powers, and the Frost Blood Beings provide the Ice Elves with the mental power they need and the cold aura that escapes from their bloodlines.

If the Ice Elves do not find the Contractor for a long time, they will fall into a deep sleep and even die as a result.

Systm didn't find anything wrong with the contract, and his [intuition] didn't give him any uneasy feelings.

Except for the appearance of a halo above his head, which looked a little awkward, Sisstem was actually acceptable.

According to Nelith's description of the contract, the establishment of the contract lasted about half a day.

As for what kind of power Heatham will gain because of the contract, in addition to the fact that it must be related to frost, Nellis is not very clear.

According to Nylith's abstract statement, the power he gained after the contract could be a sword, a shield, a claw, or a wing, and the power generated by each ice elf after signing the contract would not be exactly the same......
