【West no Aslan Empire・Rennes・County Palace】

Under the shroud of the soul power seeping out of the golden turquoise, the four of them carefully controlled their soul power, and tried to minimize the use of soul power except for the necessary training. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Kirin can now leap from the spire of the fourth floor with great skill, and then when it is about to land, quickly summon the Snow Fang, which lands on its fluffy and fluffy back.

But one day, when Silver Dust was fetching water from the kitchen, he found a snow thorn that was staggering, and it looked a little difficult to walk, and the hard and shiny hard shell on its back seemed to be a little concave......

"Snowthorn, you...... You don't have to practice......" Yinchen was a little distressed, but he couldn't bear to say it, he looked at the limping back of the snow thorn in the distance, and still couldn't help but stop it, "Snow thorn, you should know that you can't fly, right?"

Snowthorn turned its head, its stiff pincers trembling, feeling a little reluctant to accept the harsh truth. （...... ）

"I thought you knew it since you were a child, this is common sense after all......" Yinchen was a little distressed, "Do you want to eat apples, I'll go get a ...... for you"

Snowthorn swung his pincers, made a "just go" gesture, and then turned and staggered away. It should be to be alone and quiet.

When night falls, they use less or less lighting, and if they need to light up research materials or maps, they draw heavy curtains and cover all leaking light with curtains. After all, an empty mansion will inevitably attract attention if it is lit up every night. The meeting room has a wall with floor-to-ceiling windows that are completely hollowed out, without any curtains, so they are basically only used during the day.

Lianquan gathered the information she had obtained from the Pale Boy and Syrul about the second level of the Imprisoned Lands, and roughly deduced the filtering mechanism of the second level. If the first level of blessing is to force confrontation, the second level is to let the rescuer take the initiative to weaken himself.

"To break through the level of the second layer, you need to consume a lot of blood, there is a blood altar in the center of the ruins of Utur, which is the entrance to the next layer of white hell, the blood altar requires a huge amount of blood, and there is an extremely harsh trigger mechanism, that is, the blood that activates the entrance must be 'homologous'. "Ghost Mountain Lotus Spring looked at the heavenly bouquet of flowers.

"The meaning of the same origin means that all the blood comes from the same person, right?" asked Tianshu Youhua seriously.

"That's right, such a huge amount of blood consumption is unbearable for anyone, so this level basically locks the possibility of most people passing, but the 'immortal' talent that the two of us possess just makes us the 'very few' who can break through this death limit. ”

"There's nothing to be proud of. Tianshu Youhua said coldly, "Since both of us have the talent of immortality, then why do you have to take me and let me go to bleed for you?"

"Because I will consume a lot of soul power during the hypnotic blessing in the previous level, and when I reach the Blood Altar, I believe that it will be difficult for my soul power to recover enough to support the opening of the Blood Altar, so I need you to create a large amount of blood of the same origin for me. Ghost Mountain Lotus Spring looked at Youhua and was a little sorry, "That's why, we came to you and needed your help." ”

Tianshu Youhua was silent and did not speak, and after a while, she gritted her teeth and said hatefully, "The silver priest is really ruthless. ”

"yes, come up with these crooked ways. Qiling gritted his teeth, clenched his fists and slammed the table, "Ouch, I'm sorry, Snow Thorn, when did you climb up, I didn't see it, I'm sorry to ......" It was about to climb on the table to steal an apple but was suddenly airborne by Snow Thorn, which crawled away weakly, it waved its little pincers with its back to Qi Zero, making a gesture of "Don't say it", feeling a little bitter in its heart......

"I don't mean the Blood Altar, I mean that the Silver Priest made my father Syriel and the Isle of Eternal Life smelt and become a 'seal' to imprison Gilgamesh, this move is really too ruthless. The voice of the Heavenly Bouquet Youhua sounded very indifferent, with a faint hatred, "Because Syrul has the talent, which is the key to open the second level, if it weren't for Syrul to quietly seal my mother before leaving, then in this world, no one will be able to open the second level." ”

"Your father's seal on your mother was done quietly, and he didn't bring it back to Grant?"

“...... Well. Tianshu Youhua looked away, she seemed to feel that she had talked a little too much.

"What's so strange about this, Silver Dust didn't bring me back to Grant and gave me a seal. Kirin pulled his hair and smiled.

"It's getting dark, and it's almost time for us to leave the room. The bouquet of flowers stood up, walked to the fireplace, and raised her hand, and the frost quickly condensed in the fire.

Ghost Mountain Lotus Spring looked at the back of the departing Tianshu Youhua, and then looked at the silver dust who lowered his head and was silent, only the stupid boy of Qiling was still playing with the soles of the snow fangs.

She turned her head to look out the window at the twilight, the light in her eyes flickering.

The night was like water in the dark county king's mansion.

The windows of the tall building are densely arranged one by one, looking like a beehive.

Suddenly, one of the panes lit up slightly, and then, the faint light slowly moved, and the light passed through the hallway and disappeared behind the wall.

She carried the oil lamp next to the bookshelf, and climbed up the bookshelf filled with dense files. She used the faint light to find the area she wanted.

The Heavenly Bouquet Youhua family has always been responsible for recording the big and small events in the history of Yaslan's soul arts, so they have developed the habit of recording their family's affairs in detail even in detail. The area on the shelves is lined by year with a thick layer of parchment bound together.

She wanted to find a family record of the year her mother gave birth to her.

In the faint light of the fire, her face looked a little strange.

A quick and crisp birdsong woke Kirin from his dream, and when he opened his eyes, it was already dawn.

While getting dressed, he walked out of the window, and the scene in the courtyard surprised him a little. A flock of snow-white birds, which looked like pigeons, were chirping around the courtyard in the air, and one of the flocks, which was noticeably larger than the others, was now landing on the hands of the bouquet of flowers.

When Qi Ling came to the courtyard, he found that Silver Dust and Lotus Spring had also come down.

At this time, Qi Ling clearly saw that the bird that stopped in the hand of Tianshu Youhua was not a carrier pigeon at all, it was much more than a carrier pigeon. If the other white ones can barely be said to be pigeons, this one that is parked in the hand of Tianshu Youhua at this moment should be regarded as a small snow sculpture, its whole body is pure white, but there is a circle of bright red feathers on the edge of its wings, and there is a small black sarcoma in the position of the crown of the head, which looks like a cockscomb. Its beak has sharp hooks, and its claws are visibly hand-tied metal rings.

"What is this?" Qi Ling stared at his big eyes, his eyelashes flickering.

"This is a soul beast called [Tattooed Blood Dove], which is very good at discerning direction and long-distance flights, and usually lives in groups of about a dozen to a hundred, and the one in the hand of the Heavenly Flower should be the leader of this group of Tattooed Blood Doves. They are the messengers of the Ice Emperor. Silver Dust explained to Qi Ling.

"Ice Emperor, is it our Emperor of Yaslan, that Ios?" Qi Ling opened his mouth wide, surprised.

"You don't want your little life...... "Tianshu Youhua glared at Qi Ling viciously, and muttered, "Ios added the word Ice Emperor in front of you, you will die, right?" ”

"Hehe, it's okay, there are no outsiders here, the Ice Emperor doesn't know that I call him by his name, hehe. Qi Ling smiled cheaply, and then he looked at Tianshu Youhua's cold face, a little worried, "Oops, I forgot that you are a member of the royal family, you won't report me, right......?"

"Who has time to denounce you. Tianshu Youhua rolled her eyes.

"The Ice Emperor sent you a letter early in the morning, why are you?" Qi Ling watched as Tianshu Youhua took down a scroll of letter sealed with fire paint from the foot of the largest blood dove, a little nervous, "How did the Ice Emperor know that we were here?

"We're not exposed, you can rest assured. After all, we didn't write to the imperial capital when we went out, telling them, 'We're out, don't send letters here, it's already an empty castle.'" Celestial Bouquet Youhua glared at Kirin angrily as she unwrapped the fire paint and unfolded the rolled up letterhead, and her face turned pale.

"What's wrong?" asked Yinchen as he looked at the surprise in the eyes of Tianshu Youhua.

"I was called. Tianbou's gaze remained on the paper, and she read it repeatedly, as if she didn't want to believe the contents of the letter, "It's not just me, but all the princes and apostles, who have been called. ”

"What is the Ice Emperor looking for us?" Qi Ling was a little puzzled.

"It wasn't His Majesty the Ice Emperor himself who summoned us. Instead, the mission that summons us back to Grant this time is to find the Ice Emperor, who is missing. ”

Silver Dust and Lianquan were silent, and their faces gradually became solemn.

The letter also mentioned that judging from the current signs, the Ice Emperor should not have left by himself. Even if he had something important to leave the imperial capital, he would definitely tell the people around him. He was suddenly gone. On the morning of his disappearance, traces of the use of the Wind Elemental Soul Technique were found in the empty dormitory. Therefore, it is currently suspected that the person with the wind source has taken the Ice Emperor away from Grant. ”

"It's unlikely. Ghost Mountain Lotus Spring shook his head, "Ios's soul power is at its peak, he is almost on par with the current one-time prince Xiuchuan Jizo, who can have the ability to take him away if he doesn't want to, and he hasn't even alarmed the entire palace?"

"It seems that the situation is more serious than we thought. Silverdust looked up, "But maybe it's a good thing for us, all the princes and apostles will be busy looking for the Ice Emperor Ios, and the resistance to our plan to rescue Gilgamesh may be less." ”

"I hope so......" Ghost Mountain Lotus Spring sighed softly, her expression not looking relieved at all, "I'm afraid that even the disappearance of Ios is part of the Silver Priest who prevented us from rescuing Gilgamesh." If that's the case, then the royal family has chosen to stand on the same side as the silver priest this time......"

Tianshu Youhua was silent and did not speak. She waved her hand, and the blood-tattooed dove spread its wings and flew away.

Suddenly, the sound of metal clanging came, and the rebirth chain of the Ghost Mountain Lotus Spring shot out like lightning, shooting towards the blood dove that had already flown away. The chains quickly wound around the vessel, then pulled it back hard, slamming it to the ground. The mournful chirping of birds pierced the silence of the early morning.

"What do you want to do?" Ghost Mountain Lotus Spring looked at the Heavenly Bouquet of Youhua and said coldly.

"What?" Tianshu Youhua was a little stunned by the sudden movement of the Ghost Mountain Lotus Spring.

"You've already taken the letter from its feet, and then let it go and fly back to ......," Ghost Mountain Lotus Spring's voice sounded a little sharp, "Isn't it equivalent to telling the people in the imperial capital that there are still people in the county king's mansion, and the letter has already been collected?"

Tianshu Youhua's face turned pale, and she whispered: "I usually let go of it after receiving letters, and I'm just used to it...... I didn't realize it......"

Yinchen looked at Youhua and then at Lianquan, he reached out and pressed Lianquan's shoulder, looked at Lianquan with his eyes, and nodded lightly.

Kirin stood on the side, a little embarrassed.

Tianshu Youhua's pale face had turned red from congestion at this moment, and she turned around and walked to the blood dove that was still struggling on the ground, and untied the chains of the Ghost Mountain Lotus Spring: "I'll go and lock it up." (To be continued.) )
