"Whew...... I've waited so long and haven't seen the exit open again. Lucina hugged Lusa tightly: "It's so dark, it's scary...... My sister can't see you at all. Then you have to hold on tightly. ”

"Sister, you're hugging too tightly. Lusha felt a little hard breathing: "And I can see it...... Sister, the intoxicated expression on your face is not fear at all. ”

"Who said that! It's just that I enjoy the ravages too much, and hide the scared expression. Lucina smiled a little awkwardly, "Lusha, can't you still find the mechanism to open the exit?"

"My sister hugged me so tightly that I couldn't move. Lutha grumbled.

"But didn't Lusa just see it?" you said there was really no mechanism around here...... Lucina whispered, "In that case, it's okay to hold it tighter." ”

"Hmm. Lusha nodded: "I didn't find a slate that could be pressed...... Not sure how this exit opened. ”

"Before the exit closes, there is the sound of gears turning. Lucina buried her head in her sister's breast: "Anyway, this is definitely someone who planned it." If you think about the figure of the two severed hands and the hooded man - it's clear that we've been calculated. ”

"Hmm. Lusha felt a little inexplicable: "However, I don't think those severed hands have anything to do with the hooded man......"

"Hey, it doesn't matter!" Lucina looked up, "That guy obviously wanted to lure us here." But we didn't seem to have any intention of going in right away, so we let go of those hands—didn't that make sense?"

"Well......" Lusha hung her head, "But, it still doesn't feel right." ”

"None of this is right. Lucina shuddered: "What a dark passage...... I always felt like there was something terrible in there. ”

"There's nothing in there, sister. Lusha comforted her, "And, sister, don't you know how to flash and glow?"

"Ah, that......" Lucina said a little embarrassed, "the lighting range is not too big, I will still be scared...... Sure enough, when the time comes, I will have to turn into a ghost war horse before I dare to go inside. ”

"I wonder what happened to the Bachelor and Mace?" Lucina muttered quietly, "so many Corruptors...... They're really fine, right?"

"Hopefully. Lusha thought of the two guards who had fallen in a pool of blood, and couldn't help but feel sad.

"Maybe after the fighting, they'll find out we're locked up here. Lucina complained, "Really...... How could there be a secret passage under the ice dragon statue? And there is no special person to guard it at all, isn't it very dangerous for this to happen today?"

"Hmm. Lusha shrunk her body: "Sister, let's wait a little longer...... If the exit doesn't open for a while, we'll go deeper. ”

"Oh......" Lucina timidly glanced inside the passage: "This passage is quite wide, more than two meters high...... You can ride me in a moment. It's just that the passage can really get out?"

"Yes. Lutha stroked her sister's back, "There's always been the chill of the Corruptor in the passage...... And they were all blown by a weak wind, which indicated that there must be an outlet. ”

"That's true. There is no hypoxia at all. Lucina lifted up slightly, and pressed back against Lusa, "But I don't know where this passage will lead......"

"In case you can't find the ...... of Neverwinter," said this, and Lutha panicked a little. When she reached for the crossbody bag again, she realized that Minia had been asleep for a long time.

"Forget it, don't overthink it. I'll leave it to my sister when the time comes. Lucina yawned, "I'll sleep for a while." It's too dark to see anything clearly. If you close your eyes, you won't be afraid...... Lusa, will you make me a knee pillow?"

"Hmm. Lusha nodded and sat down on her knees. Lucina shrunk back in contentment and rested her head on her lap.

It's been an hour...... Lusha looked at the watch (energy block as energy source) that was fastened to the Snow Eagle glove in her left hand, and nervously woke up her sister, who was already asleep.

"Whew...... The exit hasn't opened yet, huh?" Lucina said in a daze, "It's not good...... Lusha's knee pillow was so comfortable that I couldn't even think of it now. ”

"Sister, shall we go?" Lusha gently helped her sister up and stood up on her own. Reaching into her crossbody bag, Lusha was pleasantly surprised to find that Dango had woken up: she was licking her own hand.

"Yes...... I had no choice but to do so. Lucina patted her head and leaned down. Her body flashed with a burst of ice-blue light, and after a twisted vortex, it transformed into the form of a war horse.

"Come on, Lusa?" said her sister, who was more than half shorter than Aya's form, stepped on the ground. Lusa suddenly remembered Shirua, the Pegasus of Leah's sister. Due to her height, Aya can ride too few mounts. Pegasi are one of the best options: they are usually low and delicate enough that only Aiya and similar children can ride, and not only that, but their backs don't carry much weight. Aya, who weighs only more than forty pounds because of her unique bones and flesh structure, is the best rider. But the most important thing is that Aiya can understand what Tenma is saying.

"Hmm. Lusha hesitated slightly, picked up the two pieces of crystals that had been turned into severed hands, and put them into the small leather bag around her waist.

Straddling her sister's back, Lusha gently tugged at the reins.

"......Uhh Being ridden by Lusha is really comfortable. Lucina was smug: "The hour of running when I came to Cold Snow Castle was completely unenjoyable!"

Touching the horse's head, Lusha conveyed her apologies.

"Now you can see it clearly. Lucina's pupils radiated an ice-blue glow of the same color as her body: "Babble...... Don't be scared in an instant! This will protect Lusa again - did you just pick up something?"

"Hmm. Lusha handed the two black crystals to her sister's eyes: "The two severed hands became...... It's still smoking. ”

"That's right...... It feels so nauseous. My sister seemed to be a little concerned: "But it shouldn't be anything, they probably won't turn back into broken hands." Why are you picking them up?"

"Because I think ......" Putting the black crystal back into the leather bag around her waist, Lutha rubbed her hands uneasily, feeling the smoothness and warmth of the Snow Eagle gloves: "This crystal is very similar to the one on that sword...... I wondered if it could be black ice. ”

"Uh-huh, black ice...... Lucina was a little surprised, "Well, that shouldn't be a problem, right? ”

"Well, let's go. Lusha gently pinched the horse's belly.

Lusara lowered her hood and rubbed her horse's back: the ghost of the sister of the war horse was surrounded by a very low temperature. Only someone she approved of would not be able to get frostbitten from the cold, and only feel the temperature that her sister wanted her to perceive (and even make the person feel that it was heat). Enemies who approach without permission may even freeze their entire body in an instant, or even freeze in ice.

The elder sister walked slowly forward, and after turning the corner in front of her, a surprisingly long straight passage appeared in front of Lusha.

"Now, Lusa......" Lucina slowed down slightly, and her sister's voice came from Lusa's head, "There are no lighting tools in there...... Did those corruptors come in the dark?" (Lucina, in the form of a ghost warhorse, defaults to a conversation in her head when she communicates with Lusa.) And she can only communicate with her master's mind. ）

"Perhaps...... They brought torches?" Lusa, who was also thinking about this question just now, also expressed her doubts and offered her own opinion.

"No, it won't. Lucina shook her head, "I saw a large number of Corruptors coming out of it, and they didn't have torches with them. ”

"Night vision, I'm afraid. Lucina seemed to be sure of this: "The Corruptor with night vision is much stronger than the Ice Child on the night battlefield...... I'm a little worried about whether they'll be able to hold on to Snowcastle. ”

"It should be fine, right?" Lusa was also very uneasy again, "Sister, did you say that the two ice dragons on top of the castle will help attack the Corruptor?"

"It should ...... Yes. Lucina said in a tone of complete uncertainty.

The straight passage came to an end, and around the corner, the two sisters reached a fork. The fork on the left stretches as far as the eye can see, and the road is still wide.

However, when the Lusa sisters landed their eyes on the fork on the right, they were both taken aback.

The right fork is short, and at its end is a stone wall. A corpse frozen in black crystals slumped in front of it.
