Page 202 Good Night, Girl
"It is rumored that the Frost Queen's palace sits on the highest point of the North Freljord Mountains, surrounded by aerial staircases that lead in all directions, north to the Rockfa Coast, south to the end of Iron Ridge Mountain, west to the vast Central Great Plains of Freljord, and east to the North Valoran Plains, which can be said to be the center of the whole of Freljord." Karthas slowly lowered his hand, facing Chen Senran and slowly opened his palm, "And because its overall structure is at the highest point of several mountain peaks, it looks up almost like a city in the sky from the bottom of the mountain, so it is also called the city in the sky." As his words fell, his metal-gloved palm finally opened completely.
A rich purple glow emanated from his palm, and a dark eye slowly rose.
Karthas slowly turned his eye in front of Chen Senran's eyes, and under the light of the beating oil lamp, a grand building on the top of the mountain faintly flashed in that eyeball.
"The Frost Queen's empire collapsed in a breath, and the horseshoe of the foreign race stepped directly on the roadbed of the Sky City." Karthus slowly put away the eyeball and continued the old past, "All the people have abandoned the queen and fled in all directions, but the woman who once stood at the top of the world has calmly dressed herself in her most luxurious clothes, and sat on her throne with high dignity, waiting for the horse's hooves of the enemy to step into her palace, as if she were still receiving the worshipping ministers. ”
"And then?" Chen Senran suddenly had a hint of interest, for the woman who could still stand on her throne when the soldiers came to the city hundreds of years ago, looking coldly at every pair of eyes that wanted to kill her, like looking at a group of ants.
"When the whole palace was filled with murderous blades, the leader of the enemy promised that if she lowered her head, she would receive life." Kartha's tone was still flat, almost boring," the queen just smiled, and then calmly cut off her own head with the saber she carried with her. ”
Although Karthas's tone was as flat as water, Chen Senran still felt the surging of blood for no reason, he could even imagine the mockery and contempt in her eyes when the full hall of swordsmen pointed to the lonely woman on the throne, when her head was cut off by her and held in her hand, the blood flowed like a pour, and her body must still be sitting there upright.
Because once a person has stood at the highest place in the entire world, he will never be willing to bow his head and die again.
That's the way a real emperor died.
"Admirable." Chen Senran sighed, and intuitively felt that it should be three whites in a row.
However, the story is a good story, but it seems to have little value.
Chen Senran picked the wick of the oil lamp and waited for Karthas's next step, at this time, this old ghost was by no means the third watch in the middle of the night to tell the story.
"After the queen cut off her head, the god of the snowy mountains was angry, maybe she was really the daughter of the snowy mountains, and the entire city in the sky was covered with ice and snow in an instant, and none of those invaders came out alive." Carl Saston paused, "And just a moment before the Queen's head was frozen in ice, she suddenly spoke......"
Before Karthas's words fell, the wind and snow outside the tent were suddenly tight, and they cried like a ghost.
"She said, I'll definitely be back." Karthas's tone became dry and cold at that moment, and with the suddenly dim oil lamp in the tent, there was really an indescribable eerie horror.
"And then?" Chen Senran didn't feel anything, he seemed to have heard too many similar ghost stories, just glanced at the little Lori in his arms, fortunately he was still sleeping, otherwise he would have screamed loudly.
"The curse in the snowy mountains says that if you get within a hundred yards of the sky city, you will be haunted by the queen's resentful spirit." Karthus continued, "And in my observation, the palace is the way we have to go. ”
"You believe it?" Chen Senran thought the story was very good, but it was really nonsense, but at that moment he remembered the experience of Nunu's father.
The annihilated expedition.
"I believe it." Karthas's answer was beyond Chen Senran's expectations, do you know that this old ghost of Karthas is even a demon in itself, and he is still afraid of curses?
"Even from a distance, I still feel a lot of pressure." Karthas didn't wait for Chen Senran to ask a question, then explained.
Chen Senran was silent, it seemed that the strangeness of that palace really existed, even for Karthas it was a little tricky.
"How sure are you?" Chen Senran will not retreat, and now he can only rely on the big card of Karthas.
"I can't say." Karthas shook his head, he didn't stop it, he knew that Chen Senran had to do this, "I'm just here to persuade ......you," he said, and glanced at the sweet little Lori who was sleeping in Chen Senran's arms, and didn't speak again.
Chen Senran also moved his gaze to the cute sleeping face of the little girl in his arms again.
There was nothing to say for a while, only the oil lamps in the tent danced, and from time to time there was a plucking sound.
"What are you going to do if there's another problem?" Karthas finally broke the long silence and changed the subject, "You know, I am still a little sure of the danger in front of the road, and I will definitely not be able to clean up the guy in the back." ”
Although Chen Senran didn't tell Karthas about Nasus following him, with Karthas's strength, it was not surprising that he could feel that someone was following.
"What do you say?" Chen Senran was a little absent-minded, his eyes were still on Little Annie's face.
Karthas didn't answer, he looked at Chen Senran's lowered head, and after half a sound, he stood up and said, "Since you have already thought of it yourself, I won't bother." He seemed to yawn, turned and walked out.
"Walk slowly." Chen Senran still lowered his head, he carefully stroked the little girl's eyebrows and eyes, brushed the messy hair in front of her forehead, and his eyes flickered.
"Actually, really." Karthhas lifted the curtain of the tent, but no snow poured in, and he stood at the mouth of the tent, and there was no darkness outside, "You shouldn't have brought her." ”
The curtain fell, and the wind and snow and darkness were shut out again.
Chen Senran still lowered his head, the oil lamp was in a trance, reflecting his ordinary face to death, and he looked at little Annie's face for a long time.
Listening to the steady breathing, Chen Senran sighed and decided to get up.
Lao Du is next door, only need to walk thirteen steps to get there, he takes the sleeping Anne, even if it is a heavy snowstorm, he can probably walk a long way in one night, and there will be no danger in the distance.
Good night, girl.
Chen Senran gently kissed the little girl's forehead, put little Annie lightly on the couch, and prepared to get up.
At the moment when he was about to get up, the little girl who was still asleep shrank back, grabbed the corner of Chen Senran's clothes, and muttered, "Little Sensen, don't go." ”
