Chapter 11: Rescue in the Ice
The blue-haired elven boy holds a detector that glows green at the figure in the ice.
"I'm afraid it's the victims who are frozen in an instant, and although they have lost their lives, they are not really dead. ”
"Quick, open the ice and save them! Take the thawed potion with you! My side of the Holy Light Resuscitation is ready. ”
Although the blonde boy was wearing a heavy cotton hat and only showed a pair of eyes, his green eyes closed his eyelids slightly, revealing an extremely serious expression.
"Don't worry. Flames!Sindal's Red Iron Sword!Icebreaker, Begin!"
The crimson dagger in the boy's hand glowed, and the moment it touched the ice, the ice began to melt into flowing water. The pure white mist soared into the sky, and in the endless storm, it turned into a wave of snowflakes falling on the ground. The boy's back was covered with snow particles, and at last he gently melted the ice completely, revealing the lifeless faces of the people frozen inside.
The elven boy hurriedly poured the potion into the people, and the girl in white summoned the holy light, which quickly exerted the power of the medicine.
The first to be rescued was a young knight and his two companions, dressed in a mage's cloak and a hunter's robe.
The frozen teenagers opened their eyes that had been silent for a long time.
"Here...... It's where. Yuri rubbed his eyes slowly.
Virgy also covered his dull forehead: "Are we frozen? This sharp pain in the head is like a lack of oxygen for thirty years." ”
The princess shook her head vigorously and tried to shake off the intense dizziness: "It's cold and snowy here...... I remember when we were on our way to Yamalan Fortress, we fell into the snow and ice in the middle of the mountain due to a rocket accident. Could it be that we ...... Not rescued?"
"Did we freeze right into the ice lake?" Yuri looked around in confusion, "So what happened after we fell into the ice cave was all hallucination?"
Virgie's mind was still blank: "I'm afraid I have to explain it like this." ”
At this time, the three members of the rescue team approached Yuri, and the girl in white clapped her hands happily and said, "Great! It's just wonderful! I didn't expect it to happen! It must be with the blessing of Lord Faruna that we can successfully rescue these trapped people." ”
"Yes, Miss. There's nothing more gratifying than that!" replied the blonde boy.
The elven boy squatted in front of Yuri and them, handed over the high-calorie stamina supplement, and said, "Don't use your brain to think about problems, the top priority at the moment is to recover your strength." We'll explain the details later. ”
Yuri looked into the young man's eyes, felt inexplicably familiar, and said, "Thank you." It is said that people who are frozen will see hallucinations, is this true?"
The elf boy nodded: "Yes." Extreme cold causes the brain to produce unknown activity. ”
Yuri patted his head self-deprecatingly, "Can you believe it? I saw the illusion of a fierce battle with a group of adventurers who were about the same size as the three of you, and almost lost." Then we made it to the Warm Cradle Terrace and to the Temple of the Storm. But after handing over the crystal bottle, a terrible catastrophe occurred, and the entire mountain peak was destroyed. Haha, I didn't expect to be frozen, and I could have such a detailed strange dream. ”
The elven boy and his companions looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders.
Yuri continued: "I remember those guys, it seems to be called ...... Sean, the free swordsman, Rafina, the priest of light, and Kay, the elven gunner. Hell knows why I saw such detailed hallucinations. ”
The elven boy's hand spilled the potion on the ground.
Vicky and the princess's pupils also trembled slightly.
"Hey, what's wrong with you two?" asked Yuri, puzzled.
Virgie's face turned pale: "There's no reason everyone to see the same hallucinations. Yuri, what happened to Sean, and even the cataclysm, all happened in real life. ”
At this time, the blonde boy took off his mask and revealed a handsome face: "I heard you guys saying my name." You can't possibly know anything about me, after all, we can't have met before. ”
The girl in white also pulled down the collar of the cotton velvet, it was Rafina, the priest of light. She was also puzzled and said, "This is really strange!"
The princess pointed to the elven boy, "So you're the dark elf Kay, right!"
The elven boy turned away slightly unpleasantly, "It's Kay down there. ”
"There's no way this could have happened!" shouted the six in unison.
For Sean and the others, it was simply terrifying for the ancients, who were frozen in ice and whose life and death were unknown, to suddenly open their eyes and call their names. This effect is no easier than breaking into the ancient tomb, opening the coffin, opening the mummy's eyes, and suddenly saying "Sean, hello"!
And Yuri they roared loudly: "So why were we saved by Sean and them again!"
"Again...... Saved once?" Sean was surprised, "Obviously, this is the first time we have carried out a rescue mission to Snow Peak, and you are the first victim we rescued!"
Yuri stood up suddenly, "What did you say? This is the first time you've met us?"
Sean and his friends looked at each other, thinking that it would be impossible for anyone who knew such a frozen monster before not to be impressed, so he said humbly, "Yes, yes." ”
Vicky frowned: "So I understand." The cataclysm of the storm goddess Eruch is not a simple storm and a whirlpool, but the huge energy of the god that causes the reverse flow of time. ”
"Time goes against the clock?" the princess was shocked.
"That's right, that is, we're back in time before we fell into the ice cave and were rescued by Sean for the first time!" Virgy said confidently.
So it was, Yuri and the princess were convinced, or rather, they were willing to accept it. They don't understand why God is wrathed, but they see with their own eyes how many people have died because of this, the temple has completely collapsed, and the top of the mountain is cut off from the world, and they would rather it all be just a terrible nightmare to live all over again, and God is not cruel, but only uses great power to move time to an earlier time.
Yuri regained his strength through his anger, stepped out and grabbed Sean by the collar, frowned and asked angrily, "Why don't you make it clearer! If you tell us that the crystal bottle will evolve into such an end when it is sent to the throne of the gods, I will definitely hand it over to you!"
Sean looked puzzled: "Hey, what are you talking about! I don't understand at all! What a crystal bottle!"
Kay also stood beside his partner and forcefully separated the two, "You're so excited, man. ”
Yuri pounded the ground in pain, tears like beads of broken threads.
"That's right, I shouldn't blame you, I'm the one who should say I'm sorry. In order to take revenge on the Divine Knights, I can't listen to anyone's persuasion at all, knowing that you are not bad people, but I insist on suspecting that you are the lackeys sent by the Holy Light Order, and want to rob me of the dark soul. You told me about the Cataclysm in advance, and you obviously did. Even if I were willing to sit down for a minute and listen to your persuasion, I wouldn't have to bring such a terrible disaster. ”
Yuri silently put his hand in his pocket: "Thankfully, the God of Storms has given us another chance. Crystal bottle ...... I'll leave it to you. ”
Even if it means that I can't get God's commendation, I can't go to the Prism Prison to visit the Machine Knight, and I may not be able to defeat the God Knight in my life.
But it would be nice if it didn't cause that kind of disaster.
Rafina walked over to Yuri, her eyes full of unbearability.
"I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you're talking about, but I'm going to give you some not-so-good news. ”
Rafina's cherry-red lips gently spat out a sentence, causing Yuri's body to stiffen again.
"God didn't give you a second chance, you didn't go back to the past. This is the summit of Stormshorn that has not seen the light of day for thirty years since the event of Stormfury. ”
Yuri and his buddies' pupils constricted.
Sean took out the map he had with him: "On the map, this area used to be called the Yamalan Fortress, but now it is called the Vortex Peak. ”
That's right, the God of Storms destroyed the Storms area, all of the area above the Cradle Messa. The hometown of the Winged Humans, which used to be rich in water and grass, beautiful and sunny, has turned into a death zone with storms raging and dark clouds surging, and the temperature is tens of degrees below zero. Thirty years have passed from the day of the disaster to this moment.
The instantaneous freeze not only saved Yuri's life, but also made their growth and development stagnant in the past thirty years, so that everyone's juvenile body can ignore the passage of time and go straight to thirty years later. Although, in fact, they are all already in their forties.
Yuri slowly opened and closed his hands: "We have skipped thirty years......"
Virgie was preoccupied and asked, "But Sean, why hasn't your appearance changed from thirty years ago?
"Thirty years ago?" Rafina quickly shook her hand, "No way, senior." Thirty years ago, it was the year 3031 of the Guangming calendar, and we were all born in the 50s. ”
Virgy wanted to get some clues to the truth from this strange thing, but the sharp pain in his brain didn't allow him to think deeply. Eventually, Sean fired a flare into the sky, and a bright ball of light leaped straight into the dark sky, and a huge airship flashed blue and red and roared through the clouds.
"Come with us on board for more careful treatment. Sean kindly held out his right hand to Yuri. [.]
