Chapter 229: The End of the Worlds
Several other mansion masters turned their heads one after another, smiling, watching the shocked look on Su Xue'er's face.
When they first learned the truth, they had the same expression on their faces.
"Let's go, let's try to reach the foot of the mountain before dark, or those evil things will come out, and it will be another trouble." Headed by a house master.
When the mansion masters heard him say this, their expressions froze, and their feet suddenly sped up.
It's the polar day in the Polar Circle.
So when it was dark, it wasn't dark.
But the dark clouds in the sky are getting thicker and thicker, gradually obscuring the faint sunlight.
The light grew dimmer and faded, and finally faded into darkness.
The cold rain poured down and washed away everything.
In the wind and rain, the group finally arrived at their destination.
"I'll talk to you." A mansion master gasped.
"What?" Someone asked.
"In recent years, you don't want to die, or I won't be able to bear it."
"With Starlight backing up, you won't have any major problems."
"But it's too much of a sin."
Several mansion masters were talking, but Su Xue'er looked around.
It's a mountain made of metal.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, a small metal platform rose from the ground.
The eight lords stepped forward in turn and pressed their handprints on the platform.
"Come, Lord Su, you also press one." Someone greeted.
Su Xue'er stepped forward and pressed her hand on the metal table.
After getting the handprints of the nine lords, a green button and a red button suddenly popped up on the metal table.
"Remember these two buttons." A house lord said.
"What do they do?" Su Xue'er asked.
"Camouflage ripples emanate on the surface of the planet, making it impossible for cosmic monsters to detect the planet's existence."
"Press green and start running; Press red to stop camouflage. ”
"It's running now?"
"It's been running since modern times, otherwise there are so many cosmic monsters, why are they turning a blind eye to our vibrant planet?"
"This is why the Federation is never invaded by enemy nations."
"Whoever dares to deal with the Federation must be prepared to face the swarming cosmic monsters."
"You remember, no one dares to invade the Free Federation, and the Federation will forever belong to the Nine Provinces and belong to us."
The lords of the mansion taught earnestly.
"I remember." Su Xueer said.
"A new heir has arrived, asking for direction in her direction." A mansion lord said to the metal table.
"Are you sure?" On the metal table, a deep voice was heard.
"Yes, she's arrived."
Next, no one spoke.
But high in the mountains, a road gradually appeared.
At the foot of the mountain, a metal room of 100 square meters slowly rises from the ground.
When several mansion masters saw this, they all breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the metal room one after another.
The room was warm and warm, and a comfortable chair and hot snacks were already ready.
On top of that, there are also small beds dedicated to resting.
When Su Xue'er saw it, she also followed everyone inside.
"You don't have to come in." A house lord said.
"Why?" Su Xue'er asked.
"You are the new heir, and you must climb the mountain - we are here mainly to make your new heir climb the mountain."
"Is there anything on the mountain?" Su Xue'er asked.
"Inheritance Ceremony."
"What exactly?"
"You'll have to see for yourself, we're not in a position to talk about it, and we have to be respectful of it."
The eight mansion lords looked at her together, their expressions serious.
"A piece of advice." The old mansion lord said.
"As the lord of the mansion, your will will be helped by the guardians of the Nine Mansions, but only once, please use this precious right with caution."
Su Xue'er was silent for a while, nodded, and walked towards the mountain along the mountain road that had just appeared.
The starlight cloak emitted a vague light, enveloping Su Xue'er.
Along the way to climb and move forward, Su Xueer did not see any living creatures.
The whole mountain is bare.
In the midst of the raging storm, only occasionally some of the dried corpses could be seen in the leeward places that were hidden by the mountains.
These are people who want to peek into secrets, and after death, they are blown into the dead corner by the repeated arctic wind, and they remain forever.
The wind and rain could not blow her body, but as she continued to climb upward, the temperature dropped sharply.
There was a faint glow on the Starlight cloak, completely enveloping Su Xue'er.
When the temperature dropped to the point where a human could not survive, a force suddenly surged in Su Xue'er's body.
This is a vast and majestic force, it manifests, turns into light and heat, and tightly envelops Su Xue'er.
The warmth returned to Su Xue'er's body.
"Strange, it's not my power." Su Xue'er analyzed the source of the power and said softly.
Suddenly, she could sense a complex and twisted rune pattern in her body.
This is the rune pattern on the Su Fu emblem, and every descendant of the descendant must recognize this rune pattern since childhood.
They were told from an early age that everyone would die of old age, but the pattern would be passed down forever and would not be broken.
Su Xue'er suddenly understood something.
"So this is the power that my grandfather passed on to me......"
She was silent for a moment, lifted her feet, and continued to climb towards the top of the mountain.
After a few hours, Su Xueer finally reached the top of the mountain.
"The speed of climbing is fast, and it seems that this time, we have a young successor."
In the whistling wind and rain, this voice was full of hoarseness that had gone through vicissitudes, with a strange calmness and gentleness, and sounded in Su Xue'er's heart.
"Who are you?" Su Xue'er asked softly.
"It's cold outside, please come inside and talk." The female voice said again.
The ground at the top of the hill sank in, and soon a small house rose.
The doors of the houses opened automatically, and it was dark inside.
Su Xue'er looked at the house for a moment.
It is a small house made of pure wood, and it looks unremarkable.
But at the Pole of the Pole, on a high mountain formed by the appearance of a giant spaceship, such a cabin is almost impossible.
Su Xue'er strode in.
There was silence in the darkness, except for the slight murmur of wind and rain knocking on the windows.
That voice sounded from Su Xue'er's heart again.
"Welcome, young lady, it seems that one of your relatives has passed away."
"Yes, that's my grandfather."
"So, you're pretty good, otherwise your grandfather would pass on the position to your parents."
"I'm not a great one."
"I've seen your humble qualities, and that's a good start."
"Miss, please close the door and come to the fireplace."
Su Xue'er closed the door as she said and cut off the wind and snow outside.
Keeping her manners up, she walked with a light stride toward the fireplace.
The woman who spoke, if she was human, was holding an iron hammer and stirring the sporadic flames in the fireplace.
The woman said without looking back: "You have the smell of wind on your body, please do me a favor and light the fire." ”
"Ah, okay." Su Xue'er raised her hand slightly.
The breeze floated, and the flames in the fireplace suddenly burst into flames.
The firelight illuminates the darkness and warms the room slightly.
Su Xue'er stood there, silently observing each other.
This is a person who has aged to the extreme.
Her whole body was curled up in a wide cloak, and the vicissitudes of her face were like knife cuts deep into wrinkles.
She had no eyes, no nose, and all of these organs were hollow.
Her mouth was sewn up.
From head to toe, every exposed part of her was crumpled, like an orange that had been drained of moisture.
"I hope my appearance doesn't scare you."
"Nope."
"If you don't know how to talk to me, start with a few small questions." The woman's voice sounded in Su Xue'er's heart.
"Why are you like that?" Su Xue'er asked.
"Heh, the average heir is trembling when he sees me, and he runs away quickly after making a request, and it's rare for someone to ask about my situation." The woman was quite surprised and said with interest.
"It doesn't hurt to tell you, I once participated in a small game, in order to gain eternal life, in order to protect the Nine Mansions for a long time."
"Eternals game? It seemed like a terrible trap. Su Xueer said.
"Wait," Su Xue'er suddenly remembered something, and said, "I've seen the Eternals game a few times, but I don't seem to see you." ”
"Of course you didn't see that I participated in this game thousands of years ago."
The woman's voice smiled and said, "yes, why would I participate in this dangerous game?" Because after comprehensive comparison and analysis, I found that their Immortal Pill, in addition to the side effects being too great, is indeed the wonderful item that is closest to true immortality. ”
"Is it because of the side effects that you look like this?"
"Yes, I have treated all the organs in problem at the beginning, and I have used special potions and secret methods, so I can live until today."
The woman spread out her cloak and exposed the fleshless white bones to Su Xue'er.
Su Xue'er looked at the other party's appearance, and her face showed a look of unbearability.
How ruthless a person is to treat himself like this.
"I don't have to show that expression, I'm happy with my situation."
The woman's voice continued: "You are still a young lady, of course you will not understand what a luxury it is to survive in the end of the worlds. ”
"The End of the Worlds?" Su Xueer keenly grasped this information.
"We can't just stand and talk all the time, please take a seat." The woman said.
Two old wooden armchairs suddenly appeared, sitting peacefully beside the fireplace.
