"When I first approached this neighborhood, there was a thick layer of frost condensed on the glass, and it was so white that I couldn't see anything clearly."

When the group returned to the bridge and looked through the window on the bridge to look at the not-so-large crater in the ground, the leprechaun in charge explained to them.

It's not Voda...... The little leprechaun who had been following Sivi not long after his debut was now connecting to the central dispatch of the Adric Academy in Morag and maintaining the existence of the surrounding enchantment.

"To solve this problem, we used magic to heat the slides, so that we were able to maintain a certain range of vision."

But at the moment, everyone was not interested in glass, in fact, their eyes were attracted by the situation below.

"I remember, Anko, you said that the Altar of Shadows is hidden in a forest, right?"

Sophia asked, somewhat surprised.

The girl she asked also nodded with an expression of disbelief.

"The weather was so cold that I was prepared for the trees to wither...... But now this situation ......"

When Sophia, who had been confirmed, looked down again, her eyes were no longer the light that she had had been given after receiving the Sivi Aid Wizard robe.

There is no so-called 'forest' in sight below, and there are only countless ice picks standing on the ground.

"It's when all the leaves of the trees have withered and the trunks themselves are frozen by the extreme cold that this kind of icicle forest is created." Francony tried to speculate.

The leprechaun just now interrupted their guessing. It pointed to the dark crater not far away and said, "There seems to be a strange suction force there, and the air is constantly being sucked in...... There was a whirlwind above the cave. The magic ship can't get close to there, it's already the limit to be able to get close to this kind of journey, and as I told you just now, because the air is unstable, we can't hover. ”

"It's not just about the air...... Forest, no, it's a lot of strange rivers in the icicle forest. ”

An Ke also said loudly at this time: "Not to mention that there are not so many rivers in the forest originally, just the fact that they are still not frozen at this temperature is already very suspicious!" ”

"That's 'air.'"

Theo, who had been cowering to the side, suddenly spoke up, and her words startled everyone even more.

"Tio, you mean the rivers...... Is it because the air is so cold that it is liquefied? Although this kind of thing is not impossible. But it's also too ......"

If Sophia was just a little surprised. Now it's amazing.

How cold does it have to be for the air to liquefy? If it weren't for the wizarding robes that Xiwei sent to flow with the power of the sun flowing inside, would the academy's own equipment alone be able to resist the severe cold of this Cheng dù?

However, Theo nodded affirmatively, then pointed to the crater where the tornado was forming, and said, "Sivi said it. Thermal expansion and cold contraction. ”

Edric also taught physics classes at Sivi's initiative (although it was cancelled due to a lack of teachers). This basic physical phenomenon is also very clear to the few people present.

Even the air outside was liquefied from the cold. Not to mention the Shadow Altar, which was located underground, serving as the entrance to the ice-free Dark River, where the air pressure dropped dramatically after the air was liquefied. Naturally, it will suck in a lot of outside air like a giant whale sucking water.

This is followed by the inhalation of air→ the air is cold→ the air liquefies→ the air pressure decreases→ and the air is inhaled, and finally a powerful cyclone is formed.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the whirlwind has not completely formed at the moment, and sealing the cave entrance now should solve the problem.

"Then again, do we have to enter the Shadow Altar Seal? Wouldn't it be better to seal it directly on the surface along with the Shadow Altar? ”

Frey asked curiously. It seems that even with all the equipment, she still seems reluctant to take the Holy Maiden to such a dangerous place.

"Ordinary strata don't have enough heat insulation, even if the entrance to the Altar of Shadows is sealed on the surface, the cold snap may ease somewhat, but it will definitely not disappear."

Sophia had apparently studied this question as well, and took the time to reply as she began to put on her gear, "If you don't want the entire Eastern Plains to enter an ice age, you can only seal the entrance inside the Shadow Altar. ”

"What a hassle......" Frey sighed.

"This isn't like what the little Megatron Holy Silver Sword Ji would say."

Elilia chuckled, covering her mouth.

"At that time, I was the head of the Knights Templar, the leader of the entire Knights, the invincible spear of the pure white church, and naturally I would move forward no matter what situation I encountered. But now I'm just your bodyguard...... I don't want you to take that risk, if you can. ”

Frey looked at Her Highness the suffering Holy Maiden and said with sincerity in her eyes.

"I'm glad to hear you say that, but it's not okay to always shrink behind you."

Elilia showed a hint of imperceptible gloom, but she quickly perked up: "You also know the strange way of inheritance of the rank of 'Holy Maiden', right? After the Great Migration, no one ever understood the nature of the 'Holy Maiden' again. It's rare to be born in this legendary era, I don't want to live in such a daze, under the protection of you and Xiwei, just spend my life in such a mediocre way...... Especially lately, I always feel that deep down, something is exciting, as if the essence of the 'saint' is looking forward to something. That's why I didn't refuse the commission from the Sanctuary and participated in this operation of my own volition. ”

When she said this, Elilia rarely did not have her usual weak appearance, but showed a firmness that did not match her weak appearance.

Probably feeling the firmness in the girl's words, Frey did not continue to persuade her, but nodded imperceptibly.

"Whatever you decide, I will be at your side to defend you against any persecution and opposition from any direction. You will never be hurt again! ”

Then, the maiden, who originally had the name of the Holy Silver Sword Queen, knelt down on one knee to Elilia and solemnly swore an oath: "So, please be free to pursue what you want!" ”

"Thank you, Frey." A look of surprise appeared on Eliria's face, and she picked up the knight girl who had been following her since she left the Sanctuary, and a little happy tears oozed from the corners of her eyes: "With you, I have nothing to fear." ”

"There is a kung fu ...... to say such things"

Sophia, who was on the side, sighed and interrupted the two of them who were in deep affection: "It's better for you to put on the equipment quickly...... We're going down soon. (To be continued......)
