"Tell me about your world. Artoria said to Charles, who sat on the other end of the sofa in the living room, leaning back on the sofa and looking out the window at Hammer Lake.

Seeing Artoria change the subject, Charles also began to take out snacks and drinks from the storage ring, and began to say, "That's a long story, we have to start with the Big Bang more than 10 billion years ago......"

While Charles was telling Artoria what the Big Bang was, Linda 2 took Diana Modred Gawain and Gareth Gahris, who didn't have much presence, into a rented carriage and walked southwest of Avalon City with a guide.

The guide they found was an ordinary teenager who had passed by the hole while collecting timber in the woods with his teammates not long ago.

After a heated exchange of opinions, Linda's helpers at home finally found and deciphered the secret words in the long meaningless text on the treasure map, and identified the western shore of Hammer Lake on the map, which only showed a corner of the map.

The next search was very convenient, Linda took the treasure map to find the adventurers' union in Avalon, and then asked the old adventurers in the union to determine the approximate location of the cave on the map.

Then I asked the adventurers who had been in the area recently, and after asking a few, I found a guide who had been outside the cave not long ago.

Unlike Linda's original assumption that it would take a lot of effort to get to their destination, now they only had to take a carriage to the vicinity of the old knight's manor, and then walk up the hill for a while.

Three hundred years ago, when this map came out, the cave was still located in the forest, but after a long period of reclamation, a large area of the original edge of the forest has been turned into human farmland.

If there is another east-west war that will greatly damage the vitality of both sides, the barren farmland will be covered by the ever-expanding forest sea.

In the carriage, while Linda and Gawain, who were sitting opposite her, were discussing what the treasures in the cave were, Linda suddenly noticed that Diana, who was sitting next to her, looked unmotivated.

Linda rubbed her arm against her and asked, "Why do you look so unmotivated?"

"Motion sickness. Diana made an excuse that she couldn't tell the truth.

Just as Charles was telling Artoria about the mass extinction of the dinosaurs, Linda and her party arrived outside the Old Knight's Manor, deposited the rented carriage at the manor, and followed the guide towards their destination.

After getting out of the car, Diana wore a hat that was a little bigger than her head, and the brim of the hat was pulled very low, trying not to let the housekeeper of the manor, who had negotiated with Gawain, recognize her.

If the old butler recognized Diana, who had been to that cave two years earlier, it would have become awkward.

When Charles begins to talk about human evolution, the group of treasure hunters arrives at the mouth of the cave.

Gawain noticed something wrong at the mouth of the cave, "Why is there so much charcoal here?"

Charcoal is extremely stable under natural conditions, and a lot of the charcoal burned by Diana and her family when they smoked the cave still accumulated at the entrance of the cave, and some of the charcoal outside the cave was washed away by the rain, and some of it was submerged in the surrounding soil, and some were piled up in low-lying places.

The guide said, "This charcoal has been there for a long time, and it is probably a common thing that someone smoked the beast to death in this cave." ”

The guide had brought the man here to complete the task, and after Linda had settled the balance with him, he slipped away satisfied.

Then Gawain began to make arrangements while strapping the magic lamp to his helmet, "After entering the cave, I will go to the front, Mordred will be behind me on the right, keep an eye on the roof of the cave, Linda and Diana will follow us, Gareth and Gahaerys will be behind, you will watch the rear." ”

After changing into the short weapons they had purchased in Avalon, the group began to walk into the cave under the guidance of Gawain.

As soon as she walked a few steps, Diana noticed that something was wrong with the cave, "Everyone, stop!"

The crowd immediately stopped, and Diana said, "Do you feel particularly cold here?"

It was normal for the temperature in the cave to be a little lower than outside, and the others didn't pay attention to it at first, but Diana, who had been here before, noticed that the temperature was a little too low for the first time.

Then a speculation appeared in Diana's mind, perhaps the result of her playing with Charles.

"It's really too cold here. Gawain felt the temperature around him and nodded.

"Keep walking. Diana said, "Be prepared for the appearance of monsters that love low temperatures." ”

Everyone hit the road again, and at this time their mood was already starting to get nervous, some monsters like places with low temperatures, and they are often active in winter.

It's just that the further you go into this cave, the lower the temperature becomes, and after walking for a while, there are even traces of ice on the cave wall.

At this time, Diana had already used the warm wind magic to keep everyone warm, otherwise they would have to consider retreating first and buying winter clothes.

Linda, who was walking beside Diana, was extremely excited, and the more eccentric the place for her, the more likely it was that big babies would appear.

Everyone walked and climbed the ground in the narrow cave, and finally came to the deepest part of the cave without any danger.

By this time, it had become a crystal palace, with a thick layer of ice on the rock wall, and there was nothing on the mottled stone wall.

"Looks like the treasure is just behind!" Linda exclaimed excitedly.

She tapped her wand against the stone wall, which looked solid.

Then she carefully went up with her hands, and found that the stone wall was just a little cool, she pushed hard, and the stone wall did not react at all.

At this time, Linda was a little discouraged, because one of the contents of the text on the treasure map could only be opened by the owner of the treasure.

However, Linda quickly regained her spirits, she was born as a royal daughter, and she was the most favored one, and she saw a lot of all kinds of treasures.

It was no more trouble for her to go into the royal treasury to catch butterflies in the garden, where the sun was too great for her father to let her out.

She had tried to lift the spear that her father had given Artoria back to her father some time ago, but she didn't know why Mordred seemed to be afraid of it, so that Mordred's rebellious period ended in a few days.

For her, the treasure hunt is more interesting than the result.

Linda turned to Gawain and said, "Can you try to push the stones away?"

Gawain went up and tried it, but the stone wall was still the same.

Gareth and Gakharis also tried, again to no avail.

At this time, Diana, who was far away from the stone wall, said, "Mordred, go and give it a try, she may be able to." ”

"Huh?" Mordred, who was watching the excitement, didn't think to go up and try it herself, in her subconscious, treasures and other things were insulated from herself.

Diana said to her seriously, "Try it, chances are you really can." ”

As Mordred walked over to the stone wall, Linda came over and whispered to Diana, "Why do you think she could?"

Diana also replied in a very low voice: "I suspect that her bloodline is not simple. ”

She remembered that Charles had told herself that Mordred was most likely a descendant of some Brave Warrior, and that this stone wall could only be opened by someone like the Brave.

Mordred cautiously reached out and pressed her hands against the wall, then gave her a gentle push.

"Bang la la la ......"

Diana expertly dug the bewildered Mordred out of the rubble at the first moment.

Gavin, who was quick to dodge, dug Gareth on the side, and Gahaerys had only his legs buried because he was far away.

Linda looked excitedly at the space that came out after the stone wall collapsed, it was an ice palace, and the whole space looked crystal clear when the searchlight on her helmet shone through.

When Mordred and Gareth were dug up and came to their senses, Linda couldn't wait to lead the group into the Ice Palace.

"The architecture of the place is ancient. Linda looked at the wall behind the ice wall and said, "There should be a lot of frescoes and other elaborate decorations on the stone wall, and now there are only looted walls here, which shows that this place has been used to attract thieves in the past." ”

Diana, one of the thieves, nodded, Linda was familiar with the world's art history, and she could deduce from the pattern that had been left on the last time that it was built not long after the last war.

Then everyone focused their attention on the altar in the middle.

On the altar was a long sword that was bubbling cold, and the shape of this long sword did not look like a good one, and the goat skull in the hilt of the sword was glowing with a faint blue light.

At this time, Diana had already understood the reason why this place had become this icy place.

This is the place where the magic naturally gathers, just like the "leyline", and this sword has a magic array that can automatically gather the surrounding magic power and transform it into ice element, and over time, the surrounding magic power is constantly absorbed by this sword and converted into ice element.

This sword can't store that much ice, so the overflowing ice reduces the temperature of the surroundings.

Over there, Mordred walked up to the altar with Linda's encouragement.

Mordred gripped the hilt of her sword, took a few deep breaths to calm a little excitement in her heart, and then jerked up Frost Sorrow, which was in the middle of the altar.
