It took the two of them a moment to find the best place to collect mana - a boulder, surrounded by an open field, where magic containers could effectively absorb the magic factor in the still roaring dragon blizzard. Luckily for the two, at least they didn't have to do the whole process of collecting mana, they just had to place the magic container on the boulder. When everything was ready, all the two had to do was wait.

When Mirna and Uma looked up, they could see the Cunak Mountains not far away. At the summit of Mount Kanak, the two could see something shiny. No one would think that it was a treasure, that it was a physical phenomenon created by the refraction of light caused by the condensation of ice crystals by the ice dragon. It's not the first time I've seen Mount Kanak like this, but until now, neither Mirna, Uma nor anyone else has actually set foot on Mount Kanak.

"What does it look like?" said Mirna coldly.

"What do you mean?" asked Umma.

Mirna held out her hand to the peak of Mount Kanak, "Mount Kanak where that stupid dragon is." ”

"Stupid Dragon, is this your new nickname for Skasa?" Uma couldn't help but laugh.

"Horrible stupidity, I guess I'm not wrong. But Mirna didn't seem to mean to joke with Uma, on the contrary, she was serious.

Uma's smile also disappeared from Milna's face with his earnestness, "yes, if you look at it from this point of view, it's true, terrible stupidity. ”

"I don't know if we'll ever get a chance to set foot there, but now we've become a thorn in the side of those stupid shamans. Milna laughed to herself.

"I don't know how to describe the situation at the moment, but believe me, we've all made harder choices than this. So, that's not much to us right now. Uma is not optimistic, but he is not easily pessimistic. In fact, he has always oscillated between these two emotions. He always felt that hope did not exist in his heart, but he always felt that hope existed in his heart.

"Do you remember when Katie told you to try to take care of the flowers and plants in Central Park?" Milna duly changed the subject.

Uma looked away and looked at Mirna. "Of course I do, but I just know that I gave up soon. ”

"Do you know why?"

"If I knew, maybe I wouldn't be bothered by these things. Uma shrugged.

"It seems that you, like me, don't know exactly what to do and what not to do. It's like you're trying to take care of the flowers, you're just following a predetermined program of what Katie is suggesting to you, and you don't know why you're doing it. Mirna sighed.

"Maybe Katie wanted to tell me something about it, but alas, I didn't get it. Uma smiled wryly.

The conversation between the two didn't last long, and it was a strange thing to calm down and talk in a snowstorm like this. When the magic container had collected the mana factor, the two of them left the place.

Before the two returned, the Bantu elders had prepared the items needed for the ceremony, candles, chalk, and a large sheet of parchment. In addition, there is the necessary head of a snow tiger, which is provided by one of Bankarur's men. So it stands to reason that when Uma and Mirna returned to the cave, almost all of the Bantu people didn't give them a good look. And some of the gloating outsiders snickered quietly, and the bantu people's embarrassment was the source of their happiness.

Uma picked up Snow Tiger's head under the Bantu's hateful gaze, then tossed candles, chalk, and parchment into her magic pocket, and Mirna and Mirna left the cave once more. They didn't ask the shamans for help, and they didn't think the shamans would help them willingly, and they would rather die than do something blasphemous.

The two of them need to find another cave with strong magical powers in order to perform the ritual, and they must ensure that there are no cold snaps in the cave. Because during the ritual, the burning candle cannot be affected in any way. It's an order, a rule. If order and rules are broken, then the so-called balance will not exist, and it will also mean that the ritual will end in failure.

The natural caves in the snowy mountains were clearly not magical places, and it was impossible to perform magical rituals in such a place. But now the situation is different, after the ice dragon Skasa awakens, almost all the places in the 10,000-year-old snow mountain region are filled with its terrifying magic. As a result, this area has become a large magical place, so the two of them easily found the cave with strong magical power.

While cold snaps are largely unavoidable, Mirna can block them out by setting up magical barriers. Preparation for the ceremony may be a lengthy process, but the two are not discouraged. Because exploring the uncharted territory of magic is what they are most happy to do, they always hope to gain new knowledge about magic through their continuous research on magic.

"I'll set up the magic barrier, and you can prepare the ritual. Mirna said to Umma.

"Let me think, what are we missing?" Uma asked herself. "That's right, a bottle of alchemy potion for rituals. ”

"Hurry up, then, genius. Mirna threw a mischievous smile at Uma and walked a short distance to set up a magical barrier.

Uma spreads a large piece of parchment provided by the Bantu tribe on the ice, then uses chalk to draw a complete magic circle on the parchment, and places Snow Tiger's head in the center of the magic circle. After doing this, he stepped out of the magic circle and sat down in the clearing, took out another empty magic container from his magic pocket and placed it on the ground in front of him, and then added the same materials to the magic container according to the list of materials that had been listed in his mind. After that, Uma shelfs the magic vessel on the firewood. "Mirna, are you okay over there?"

"Right now!" Mirna slowly lifted her hands up, and a near-transparent magical barrier was gradually lifted. As the top of the magical barrier approached the top of the cavern, Mirna lowered her hands that had been raised above her head. "That's it!"

"Help make a fire. Uma snorted at the magic container that was set on the firewood.

"You didn't add the wrong ingredients, did you?" Mirna snapped her fingers lightly, and the wood under the magic container burned.

"Of course not. Uma said confidently.

"That's good. Mirna nodded appreciatively, as if Uma really could get the material wrong. Teasing Uma is always a lot of fun, no matter what time it is.

The two waited in silence for the alchemy potion to finish, and when the steam came out of the magic container, Uma quickly waved her hand to extinguish the flames, and then covered the outer shell of the magic container with a layer of frost to cool the potion. At this time, Mirna placed the candles on the outermost line of the magic circle to form a circle, and used her magic to light all the candles.

Uma filled the cooled alchemy potion into the vial, then carefully stepped over the lines on the ground to the center of the magic circle. "Are you ready?"

"Let's get started. ”
