"Hmm... Probably this is it, Windsor, let's go down!"

Beyond the low mountain peaks, over the plains, and over the scenery obscured by the afterglow of the blizzard, Luo Xiaotian finally saw the remains of the city standing on top of the snowfield, protruding like scars.

Looks like the blizzard is really coming to an end.

It was once the northernmost city on the Arctic Ice Sheet.

When the height is lowered, you can see the broken walls at the edge of the city.

"Ten kilometers further north of Saint-Il is a mountain that even a dragon cannot climb, and it is said that the wind at the top of the mountain has magical power to block all creatures that want to pass through. But ah, these are legends, and there has never been a record of those high mountains in this world, as if no one had ever explored it. ”

"Oh, so someone actually went up there?"

"I don't know, but I do know that legendary magicians and epic knights will be able to reach the top of the mountain, and there are few places in this world where they can't go. ”

Legendary magicians and epic knights?Come to think of it, as the closest human beings in the whole world to gods, their actions must be spectacular, right? At least, as long as it is something that the people they want to protect protect, no one can hurt them, right?

"As for the Duchy of Saint-Il, it was a mystery when it was founded, and it is said that they founded a city comparable to the capital of a country when the Arctic Ice Sheet was still full of natives, and then, it was not until hundreds of years later that the merchants extended their trade to this city, which was unique in the Arctic Ice Sheet at that time. It is said that it was there that the king of the Duchy of Saint-Il prayed to the gods for protection, and by the way, the name of the Duchy of Saint-Il came later, and before that it was called Saint-Il. ”

As the height of Windsor decreased, Luo Xiaotian saw the broken high platform in Alice's mouth, but it was not so much broken as it was cut by something, at least the smooth cut was not caused by force.

"Saint-Il has not communicated with the outside world very often, they are like a paradise in this snowy field, so the news of the destruction of this city came out of the Far North Ice Sheet so suddenly, suddenly as if the city was destroyed in an instant, there was no declaration of war, no tug-of-war, no negotiation, everything disappeared all at once. ”

Don't... You tell it like a ghost story, Alice?

Windsor landed in a clearing in the middle of the city, in front of which was only half of the high platform. This is probably the square.

The thick snow was not blown out of a hard shell by the wind because of the surrounding buildings, so when Luo Xiaotian jumped off Windsor's back, he fell into the thick snow.

Luo Xiaotian had already changed into shoes suitable for moving in the snow, and the leather boots wrapped in layers prevented the penetration of snow water to the greatest extent.

But if the snow gets through the cracks in your clothes, there's nothing you can do.

"Hey, don't you want to be so exaggerated?!Windsor, why didn't you sink in...?"

"Well, after all, it's been accumulated for so many years, and there is no summer in the Far North Ice Sheet. Also, when have you ever seen an ice phoenix submerged in snow? Alright, come on, let's go straight to the palace behind the high platform, according to the records, the Ice Crystal Crown has been there in the first place, maybe we can find something. ”

Alice answered Luo Xiaotian's question for Windsor, and then, Luo Xiaotian, who finally pulled himself out of the snow, returned to Windsor's back.

Thank you for your hard work Windsor.

"Oh, wait, pull me out, I can't see anything!"

By the way, there is also Xiaobei who flew all the way and plunged into the snow.

......

"Bang!"

The heavy gate, which was three meters high, was pushed open by Luo Xiaotian, hitting the stone that fell from nowhere, making a loud noise, and then echoing in this huge but empty palace.

"There's nothing in there. Hey, are there ~people~?"

Looking through the half-opened door, the light shining through the window at the top illuminates the palace that has stood for an unknown number of years, but even so, there are still many places left in the shadows that cannot be seen.

There was nothing where it was illuminated, and the floor of the main hall was lifted and scattered everywhere.

"Poof... Ahem, ahem... Rollo, don't scream suddenly! After knowing the news of the fall of the Duchy of Saint-Il, the nearest country can no longer sit still, you must know that the legend of the treasure of Saint-Il has never disappeared in this far northern ice field, so, as you can see now, everything of value has been removed by those people, and then they are eager to dig three feet into the ground to find the secret buried in this palace. There used to be a throne made of gold, which was dug up by someone who doesn't know where, at least after so many years, no one has ever seen that beautiful golden throne again, I am afraid it has been smelted into gold coins long ago. ”

"In other words, there won't be any clues in this hall, so where should we go?"

"Let's go! Let's continue inside, to the treasure vault, where the Ice Crystal Crown was placed. ”

......

Passing through a passage that was also dug up in a mess, I saw several rooms that I didn't know what purpose they were, and finally arrived at the treasure vault at the end of the passage.

As expected, this place has also been destroyed into a state where there is no way to get off the feet, and it is impossible to see what it used to be.

"Here! According to the records, when there are no festivals, the ice crystal crown is placed on this stone platform. ”

At the end of the room there is a stone platform, and many traces of the axe can be seen from the root of the stone platform.

But that doesn't make sense, right? What stone can resist man's greed for wealth? There is definitely a problem!

"Windsor, lend me another staff!"

"Good. ”

Taking the staff from Windsor's hand, Luo Xiaotian first used half of his strength to knock towards the stone platform, he had already experienced the hardness of the ten thousand years of ice, if he smashed this stone platform too hard, it would not be what Luo Xiaotian expected.

"Smack!"

There was a dull sound, followed by the sound of gravel falling off, and sure enough, although the stone platform was hard enough, it could still be shaken.

Why hasn't this stone platform been destroyed like the rest of the platform?

"It hurts!"

The sudden stinging pain woke Luo Xiaotian from his state of thinking.

"What's wrong with you, Rollo, what did you find?"

"I'm fine... I don't know if it's a discovery, maybe it's just my guess. ”

Luo Xiaotian covered his forehead, and there happened to be the position of the golden eye.
