Section B Chapter 2: The Ice Queen (Lucina)
In a daze, Lucina's ears faintly rang with the sound of her sister talking to someone. The man was lamenting "what if Lusha didn't know what the puppy was trying to say", and "It's really convenient for Aya to understand the mood of animals, and I would have saved a lot of trouble if I had this ability when I was a hunter before".
Vicol is awake...... I really don't know if I should say that he is fated or what, so he didn't die. According to general logic, a person who has been lucky twice in a row will definitely lose blood luck for the third time.
...... For example, I decided to eat and drink all these days, Lucina smirked in her heart, and suddenly felt that life these days must be super interesting. During the seven-day festival of the Frost Festival, in addition to the evening parties, there is also a high concentration of food that is widely sold.
It is said that there is a custom of the Frost Festival to choose one of the most attractive beautiful ladies of the night as the Ice Queen during the parade every night. Then you will get people's blessings and a big ice cake. The cake is the size of a round table and can be shared by many people. And the Ice Queen's duty is to share the cake for everyone.
After hearing Morse say this yesterday, Lucina almost drooled, and she couldn't sit still: she was imagining what the ice cake would taste like, and there would be a lot of cream......
In short, if I become the Ice Queen, I will give myself and Lusa the biggest piece! Confident in her beauty, Lucina is so confused that she still doesn't wake up: what is the Ice Queen...... I heard about it from the blacksmith yesterday.
I remember that I seem to know a little bit. The Children of Frost, who had not yet been separated and lived together in the ancient city beneath the Great Snow Plains, were severely affected by a long-lasting snowstorm. The snow was blocked by heavy snow, and it was impossible to hunt for food. Although the blizzard was nearing a halt, in the last month people ran out of food and died en masse.
At this moment, a beautiful woman in a long blue dress appeared between the altars of the dragon god and the frost giant in the city. She used her magic to conjure up a giant ice cake that would regenerate whenever she was almost finished. Therefore, the whole city survived the last month by this.
In gratitude to her, people called her the Ice Queen. Every year after that, a seven-day festival was held to commemorate her on November 10, the date of the woman's appearance. The highlight of the festival is to select an "Ice Queen" every day to distribute the cakes that everyone raises money for.
Everyone seems to think that the queen's presence at the altar of the two gods is not a coincidence, and that they have sent her to rescue the people. Therefore, despite the differences of faith between the Children of Ice and the Children of Frost, the Festival of Frost still defaults to not talking about faith, and only discards their differences to commemorate the queen who saved her ancestors.
In fact, due to the problem of faith, it is best to choose the multi-ethnic Beihaiwang town to watch the original appearance of this festival. Because of the rare reconciliation between the two cities (especially since the two fought bloodied some time ago) and the prospect of fighting back against Winter's Breath, the town was in a state of celebration.
It is said that Ice Rock City is also trying to recruit mages, but it has little success because there is no way. (Sorcerers and warlocks are often counted as mages by laymen, and over time everyone calls them that.) In order to distinguish between the three thoroughly, people sometimes refer to mages as magicians. )
Turning over, Lucina fell into a new slumber again. Wrapped in a tablecloth, she dimly began to ponder the story in her heart: in fact, its setting is very old-fashioned, a bit like people make it up themselves. But to be honest, Lucina still wants to believe that this is true.
But it's impossible for the Ice Queen herself to appear...... Even the Ice Dragon God and the Frost Giant haven't been seen in a long time. But if she doesn't really have anything to do with the two gods, she might have another appearance. But now the people of both cities have left the treacherous snowfields and are living in cities that can produce food. I'm afraid the queen won't appear again.
But Lucina, who loves to listen to legends the most, always felt that this story was still a little problematic, although it was not a big deal......
First, many legends are common to them -- if their gods do exist and they love their people, why do they send messengers to deliver food when they are starving to the point of dying? What is the point of being stingy if it doesn't take much effort to perform a small miracle?
The second point is that their ancestors did not leave any record of what the Ice Queen said. I really don't know if the queen didn't say anything at all, or if the ancestors forgot to write it down...... If it's the latter, then there must be something wrong with the brains of these people.
Although her consciousness and senses were blurry for a while, Lucina, who still wanted to sleep well, finally gradually woke up (after all, this is a physical body conjured by a ghost, and the sleep function is not very perfect). Once you fall asleep, you have to take time to gradually recover your body's functions after waking up.) Just as her sense of smell came back from her slumber, she faintly smelled a familiar smell: it seemed to be mushroom soup.
Wow! Lusa made mushroom soup? Sitting up, Lucina swallowed her saliva, threw aside the dumplings that hadn't woken up yet, and jumped off the sofa excitedly: "Lusha! Why don't you call me when you make mushroom soup?!"
"Wow!" shrunk back, the startled sister looked very troubled: "I see you sleep very soundly, and we only have this one bowl, it's not very convenient......"
"It's okay, it's okay! I don't mind that!" Sitting next to the snow crow, Lucina hummed and snatched the pot, "I'll just take the pot to the end!"
"Uh...... Ah, I'm done. Although he still wanted to say something, Vicol still protected his bowl with an embarrassed expression: "But your sister hasn't eaten yet." ”
"Shall we eat together?" Hehe, laughing, Lucina put her arms around Lusa and held her in her arms. Listening to the slight cry of her blushing sister, the mage excitedly shook her little hand, only to be chromed: she had a chain cone fixed to her right hand for control.
"Cut, you like that cane so much......" Lucina was still a little surprised, "You didn't learn to beat you to death when you were young." I like to hold a firearm. ”
"People change. Lusha was also a little embarrassed when she mentioned this: "I'm not the same as when I was a child. ”
"Anyway, be careful when you use it. Remembering the experience of stealing a cane whip and almost pinching off her fingers, Lucina shuddered: "Don't use other forms in normal times, otherwise the power will be too deadly." ”
