Outside the heart of Icecrown.

Chu Lie sat on the top of a high mountain and looked at the bright city in the night, the azure magical light diffused from the mage tower that rose to the sky, covering the entire city.

The starlight in the sky echoed with the ice blue of the earth, and it was too beautiful to be a mortal dwelling.

“…… In the basement of Ulysses, a large number of experimental tools and knowledge of human modification were discovered. ”

"But unfortunately, the second son of the Thunder Fortress Archmage was not found, and it is said that Sylvia has notified the Thunder Archmage of this matter."

"The Thunder Fortress issued a lore order for the first time."

A clear voice came from behind him, and a girl dressed in red walked slowly, and then sat down next to Chu Lie gently, with a demonic flame swaying in her golden eyes, and looked at the huge city below with Chu Lie's gaze.

"Give, drink?"

A palm was handed to Chu Lie's eyes, and a delicate water bag was held in his slender white hand, and he shook it gently.

The rich smell of wine rushed into Chu Lie's nose.

"You've been sitting here all night."

The girl looked at the city below, gently shaking her slender legs.

"At this time, you should drink!"

"You have to drink after fighting, you have to drink when you're tired, you have to drink when you're uncomfortable, and you have to drink even more when you're happy!"

"Come?"

"Huh...... Who taught you this fallacy? ”

The stiff face like a mountain stone softened a little, Chu Lie's body gently lay back, the sky was already slightly white, and he gently opened his right hand to block his eyes, and the white belly of the fish before dawn fell on the face of the demon hunter through his fingers.

The gaze, which was originally sharp and direct like the blade of a long sword, was now filled with a little dazedness.

"Ten years...... I've been longing for revenge on the old man for ten years......"

"Now, the oath-forsaken construct that killed him has been killed by my own hands."

"Ulysses, who developed the human body modification technology, died at my hands, and I can't deny that I was very happy to see his miserable appearance, really happy, but now what about ......"

"What should I do?"

Syllable~

At this moment, a pair of plain white hands slapped fiercely on Chu Lie's outstretched right hand, and the force was so great that it even brought a little bit of fighting brilliance, even Chu Lie felt a tingling pain.

Frowning, the girl in red had already stood up at some point, her black hair fluttering gently in the mountain breeze, the girl's soft hands held Chu Lie's palm, and her delicate face smiled lightly.

"You're so stupid, Chu Lie."

The corners of her mouth gently swept up a wonderful arc, and the girl's eyes looked at Chu Lie with sparkling eyes.

"You can eat, you can play, you can travel everywhere, you can do a lot of things, isn't it? How about you go and fill in everything you've missed in the last 10 years? ”

"I'll be with you~"

A soft light fell on the horizon, and the silver moon on the left had not yet completely set, and the sun and moon were shining together, gilding the girl with a layer of bright edges, reflecting a stunning color in Chu Lie's pupils.

“…… Well. ”

In the midst of the gentle murmur of the mountain wind, a low voice sounded.

…………………………

"Hmmm......"

With a light snort, Chu Lie slowly opened his eyes, and what greeted him was the decoration of the guest room of the Heart of the Ice Crown, and the floor clock next to him clearly told Chu Lie that he had really slept for a long time this time.

After sitting all night, he and Alicia came back and rested.

"I wonder how Alicia is resting?"

Whispering softly, Chu Lie's black eyes were no longer the same cold and indifferent as they had been for ten years, but a little more warmth, and his palm gently patted on the bed, and the body of the demon hunter jumped down gently.

Directly throwing aside the luxurious clothes prepared by the mage tower, Chu Lie simply changed into his own windbreaker, turned around the demon hunting firearm in his hand, and tucked it around his waist.

Squeak......

Pushing the door out, he happened to see the fat man Chu Lie knew when he was pretending, and the other party obviously saw Chu Lie as well, his body shook violently, and then a smile mixed with pity, flattery, and fear squeezed out of his fat face.

"Ride...... Knight~"

Thinking of his disrespectful behavior in the past few days, the fat man's heart twitched in pain.

Syllable~

The voice fell, but it was not an imaginary rebuke mixed with severe pain.

The broad palm gently patted the fat man's shoulder, and fell with a gentle voice.

"Well, come on."

The fat man's expression was stunned, and he subconsciously looked up, the same familiar back, was gently moving his shoulders, but I don't know if it was an illusion, although the identity of the person in front of him was a high-ranking knight, but it looked closer than his previous companion Chu Lie-

It's like being transformed from an ice sculpture to a real person.

is alive.

“…… Absolutely, definitely I didn't wake up ......."

The fat man muttered unconsciously.

Step, step, step~

Not knowing the mental activity of the fat man behind him, Chu Lie slowly walked towards Alicia's room, raised his hand, paused in the air, and then gently knocked on the door.

When~when~when~

A crisp voice sounded, but no one came to open the door, and after a while, Chu Lie's brows furrowed slightly, and the silver brilliance in his eyes flashed, and then his expression was stunned-

Inside the house, there is no familiar brilliance of life.

Alicia wasn't inside the room.

His brows furrowed slightly, and between Chu Lie's lowered palms, wisps of fighting energy were entangled like electric snakes, and the breath belonging to the great knight flashed away, and the next moment, the ice blue brilliance condensed in front of Chu Lie's eyes.

"What's wrong? Chu Lie? ”

The cold light in front of him dissipated, and an ice sculpture slowly spoke: "What did you encounter?" ”

"I don't know if you're experimenting, so that's all I can tell you about it."

Chu Lie pursed his lips lightly, his brows furrowed: "Alicia, is it over there?" ”

"Ellie? Absence. ”

His voice was obviously stunned, and then he spoke: "You wait a minute. ”

The next moment, the eyes of the ice sculpture in front of him dimmed, and then an obscure wave of magic began to shine throughout the mage tower, and after a moment, the fluctuations intermittently.

Buzz~

The blue light appeared around Chu Lie, and then swallowed it directly, after a familiar feeling of weightlessness, Chu Lie's body appeared on the top floor of the mage tower, and after the blue light dissipated in front of him, a witch in a mage robe sat upright, and her slender fingers gently flipped through a light golden letterhead.

A touch of blue appeared on the palm of his hand, and then this delicate letterhead flew straight towards Chu Lie, gently levitating in Chu Lie's hand.

"This is the letterhead left by Elle's family."

"Just as Elle was resting, he took Elle away."

There was a rare sign of obvious jealousy and a hint of wonder on the witch's face.

"In the mage tower of an archmage, next door to a paladin, take away a person with the combat power of a great knight silently~"
