Section A, Chapter 19: Old Town (Lucina)
After arriving in the center of the city, the two planned to visit the bachelor of the Central Tower. However, after the guards learned that the Tower had been banned from entry two months ago, the two headed straight for the Old Town.
The Old Town, known as Old Winterfell. Around 30,000 years ago, the total area of Winterfell's inner and outer cities and suburbs expanded to twenty-seven times its size.
An ancient country that counts history in 10,000 years...... Lucina was secretly surprised.
Lucina, galloping, stopped at the reins, and a tall tower in the distance was faintly visible in the snow and mist.
"Looks like you're in the right direction......" said Cyberdart's voice from the back: "Turn right at the next block and go straight." ”
Lucina, who was not in a hurry to leave, exhaled, "Smell it, cyboldt!
"You're coming again?" said Sebodat patting his horse's head angrily.
"I want to eat that, Boss!" Lucina cheekily requested.
"Come back and buy you ......," Sebodat lamented, "I don't have much for you, Lucina...... Please, don't smell the fragrance every time you confirm the direction, okay? I haven't seen your nose so smart?!"
"Nonsense, as long as it smells of food, my nose is good!" Lucina decided to defend her legal rights: "Besides, I can't let you ride for nothing, right? You're not Lusha and Yasha." ”
"And what about Geos?" replied Sebodat with some weakness.
"Geos's food for me has an absolute conscience!" Lucina decides to ignore Geos's countless complaints about her food bill.
"Alright......" the elf decided to put an end to the argument, "but I can't eat anything else today......
"Oh oh, then I'm going to eat three loaves, that's it. Lucina took another deep breath and ran briskly.
"Three...... Three ......" Sebodat opened his mouth, but did not say the next word—the cold wind on horseback was hard to speak.
Suddenly, Cyberdart tightened the reins, and Lucina stopped sharply to steady her front hooves.
"What's the matter?" Lucina flapped her wings, turning her horse's head alertly and staring at Sebodart: Does this man want to deny it?
"Ran wrong, you're on the left. Cyberdat also stared at the ghost warhorse's Youlan eyes: "Also, don't give me this set." I know what you're trying to say -- I didn't mean to say no-to those three loaves of bread. ”
"Aha...... I don't need to reiterate it, and I didn't say I don't believe you. "How can Cyberdat always see what I'm thinking......
Lucina turned around and ran to another fork in the road.
Under the constant guidance of Cyberdart, the tower got closer and closer. Until its hidden figure from the snow mist was completely exposed to Lucina's eyes.
A tall gray tower cloaked in snow-white clothing. The silhouette of the ice dragon on the top platform of the tower is faintly visible in the snow mist.
She was sure it was an ice dragon, because this was supposed to be the only dragon in Winterfell - but Manus had said that there might be bone dragons and so on in the Dark Glacier. Lucina imagined the appearance of a bone dragon - something like the bone dragon that Tigabella had made with necromancy?
Statues?...... Lucina looked at the silhouette of the giant ice dragon in amazement. However, the next moment she thought so, the body in the snow shadow shook slightly, and she stood on her legs after lifting her body.
"It's a living ice dragon...... "Cyberdart, who had just jumped off his horse, was surprised.
Lucina leaned down, flickered back to Aya's form, and stood up again.
The ice dragon shrouded in snow and mist seemed to have no intention of leaving after getting up. Instead, after flapping its wings a few times and making a lazy cry, it lay on the platform again, motionless.
Many breeds of dragons love to sleep...... Lucina thought to herself: it seems that it has gone to sleep again.
Staring intently at the unclear dragon, Lucina wished it could move again—but it looked exactly like a lifelike statue again.
How did the ice dragon manage to stay motionless while sleeping?Lucina began to think about it again, but was interrupted by Cyberdart: "Okay, let's go first, Lucina? ”
"Oh......" Lucina's curiosity had been completely aroused, and she was disappointed - she wanted to see the ice dragon.
"If only the snow wasn't so foggy today...... Lucina felt a chill at her feet - the renovation of the grounds in the Old Town was slow, and many streets were unpaved with snow stones. Now the ground beneath your feet is covered with deep snow.
The snow here is perfect for building a big snowman...... Lucina leaned over and touched the soft snow.
"If the snow fog weren't that big, you might not even see the shadow of the ice dragon. "They like to come out in this kind of weather. ”
"That's ......" Lucina was distressed, "Isn't it hard for me to see what they look like?" although Eloa is full of dragons, but there are no such rare ice dragons...... "Although there are also rare black flame dragons."
"There's always going to be a chance. Cyberdat walked into the courtyard: "Maybe you can go to the Ice Dragon Valley to have a look? There are many ice dragons there, it should be easy to see." ”
"Whew...... Also. Lucina thought for a moment and followed: "And besides, it seems very romantic to watch the ice dragon with Lusa!"
The gray tower had no guards, and was about 40 yards tall with a thick layer of frost and a large pool of snow on the steps.
Sweeping the snow from the door with his feet, Cyberdat gently pushed the door open. Lucina followed her and closed the door.
There was only one guard in the gray hall wearing the same gray overcoat. He sat on a bench and drank the hot soup from the stove beside him with a large wooden spoon.
"Excuse me?" Lucina spoke first.
"Oh, wait—" The guard didn't even look at them and drank a wooden spoon of soup, "Mace asked you to come, right? Master Nadia is on the top floor—wait until I finish the freshly cooked soup, it's just right now, and when I come back later, the chicken will be stewed." ”
"Then I don't have to bother you to introduce you. Cyberdart decided: "And we don't know Metz." ”
"Oh, that's a good idea. The guard muttered to himself, "Shall you hurry up, if you don't hurry, the men of Mace will come in a moment." He drew a hand and pointed to the spiraling stone staircase.
This was the end of the conversation, and throughout the conversation, the guard was busy drinking soup, without looking up, and without even looking at the two of them.
"Let's go. Seboydat was the first to walk up the stairs. Lucina, who was busy looking overhead at the roof of the building, which was 40 yards away, hurried to catch up with Sebodat and walk ahead of him.
"Who is Mace?" asked Lucina.
"How do I know?" the elf stepped on his right foot: the staircase made a dull noise, showing how solid it was unmatched.
"Woo, people with such a loose attitude. Lucina looked around as she held on to the cold handrail of the staircase, "This staircase is made of stone...... Anyway, how do you feel that this tower looks so strange? The original purpose was definitely not to educate the bachelors......
"Let's go. Cyberdat reminded: "The staircase is very long. ”
"Wow......" Lucina poked her head out again and looked down the hall below.
The man was still drinking the soup
