This was once the capital of the most powerful kingdom in the continent, standing on the top of a high mountain, with an abyss on one side, known as a moat that no one on the entire continent could cross.

After the fall of the kingdom of Oraton, Empress Sophia overthrew it all, using more than 30,000 laborers and five years to build an even more magnificent city on the site of the former royal capital of Oraton, with even many mid-to-high-ranking knights and mages contributing.

When the city was first established, black snow fell from the top of the mountain, covering the surrounding mountains for hundreds of miles. Craftsmen carved statues of the Empress and the God of Darkness out of the black ice, and in the process, countless people died from cold and exhaustion, and their bones were buried at the foot of the statues.

The tragic effort paid off, and when the "Black Ice City" was completed, people across the continent were shocked and amazed by this great miracle.

It is like a flag erected on the top of the continent, symbolizing the infinite brilliance of the dark god and the immortal exploits of the empress.

When Carlo followed Cinderella here, the sun was just halfway out of the dense dark clouds, and the entire city of black ice glowed brilliantly in the sunlight, looking like a huge black crystal from a distance.

At the foot of the Black Snow Mountain is a bustling city, with only one road leading to the top, and Cinderella tells Carlo that the entire Black Ice City is inhabited by only Sophia, except for the Empress's servants and guards.

Carlo couldn't help but sigh, he didn't expect that in one hundred and twenty-three years, he could turn the girl who was hiding under the forest hut and crying into a haughty, cruel and violent Ice and Snow Queen.

"I'll take the master up the shortcut.."

Cinderella spoke, and then led Carlo to the other side of the Icy Mountains, the bottom of the cliff, which was more than 10,000 feet high from the top of the mountain, and it was impossible for ordinary people to climb it.

"Sophia has built a staircase in the belly of the mountain that leads to the top of the mountain, I wonder if it can still be used after all this time?"

Cinderella was looking for the cave buried by the black snow with her eyes wide open, when she suddenly let out an exclamation, and her soft waist was tightly wrapped by a large hand, and the whole person flew off the ground.

"There's no need to go through the hassle.."

Carlo chuckled in Cinderella's ear, and broke free from his back an incomparably wide hideous bat wing, with a wingspan of more than twenty meters on the left and right, like inserting a pair of dragon wings into an ordinary person.

Carlo flapped his wings slightly, hugged Cinderella and raced towards the top of the ice-covered mountain, his black-robed hunt whipped by the bitter cold wind of the empty valley.

After a few breaths, they crossed the ice cliff, and the two of them landed lightly on the top of the mountain, the black ice wall in front of them, and in the distance were two incomparably huge statues, one was Sophia wearing a crown and holding a scepter, and the other was Carlo himself.

At this time, the sun had been completely obscured by dense dark clouds, the black snow was drifting down, and the city of black ice was dim, and under the dim sky, it seemed cold and lonely.

Carlo reached out and caught a diamond-shaped snowflake, crystal clear, like a black crystal, and he felt the familiar aura that belonged to Sophia.

At this time, the mark of master and servant in his mind was slightly clearer, and he saw the figure of a woman in a long skirt perched high on a cold throne, and he couldn't see her face clearly.

Carlo stepped on the invisible staircase and walked up the void step by step, and Cinderella, like a playful little girl, lifted her skirt and jumped after Carlo, her face full of joy and joy.

"I forgot to ask you, why can't I sense the imprint left in the three of you?"

Carlo walked up the invisible staircase to the Black Ice City and asked Cinderella indifferently.

Cinderella let out a giggle and took two quick steps in her crystal slipper to get ahead of Carlo, facing him and stretching out her white arms.

"Because of this.."

Like a child eager to please her owner with a new toy, Cinderella burst into the palm of her hand.

Snowflakes falling from the sky fell on the gray light and disappeared silently.

Carlo's eyes trembled slightly, and the snowflakes did not disappear, but completely "melted".

It has gone through its entire life, from water, to ice, and finally to air.

The gray light sped up the process, turning it directly into gas.

It sounds simple, just melting the snow and ice, but in fact, the power contained in it is so powerful that even Carlo will tremble.

"It's .." Carlo stopped and muttered, "The power of fate." ”

It's the same as Isabella used, except that Cinderella is more at ease.

"I only found out after my master left.."

Cinderella looked at the gray light in her palm, playing with it, her eyes swirling. The snowflakes that had disappeared into the gray light reappeared for no apparent reason, fluttering against all their companions and drifting towards the sky.

The gray light once again reversed its fate, a very strange scene.

"I find myself able to rejuvenate an old man, make a small child wrinkle in an instant, let the seed sprout, let the germinated seed retract again... It has nothing to do with life magic, it took me a long time to master it, it's amazing, isn't it?

Cinderella smiled happily, but Carlo's eyes were a little cold, he was murderous, he didn't want to see anything out of his control, and Cinderella couldn't, it would make him very uncomfortable.

Cinderella keenly felt Carlo's emotions, her face instantly turned pale, put away the gray light, and immediately knelt down in front of Carlo, trembling: ".. But this power is not very strong, I have not felt its growth for a long time, I swear, it is not at all a threat to you, master... The reason for covering up the sigil is simply that we are afraid that that bastard from the Holy See of Light will find our place."

Carlo was expressionless, and said lightly for a long time: "Get up." ”

When the black robe had gone far away, Cinderella stood up cautiously, and only then did she realize that perhaps so much time had passed, and she had almost forgotten who she was in front of him.

She's just a slave and a plaything.

The empty and cold hall was dim, and the gold candlesticks were covered with a thick layer of dust and frost, as if they had been extinguished a long time ago, and had never been ignited again.

In the center of the hall was a large and ornate black throne, and there was nothing else to decorate it, except for the shattered shiny mirrors that covered every inch of the floor.

There was a crisp sound of "pop", and another beautiful mirror was smashed to the ground and shattered into countless pieces.

A tall and dignified figure stood on the black throne, she raised her hands, and let out a hysterical curse from her mouth: "Ahh Sooner or later, I'm going to have to chop you alive into 10,000 pieces and feed them to my dog!!"
