In the distant Ethereal Cold Continent, there is an elven kingdom, and they are the most noble and beautiful ice elf race among the elves. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info The faces of both male and female elves among them are beautiful and exquisite, and they also have tall figures, as well as crystal clear skin, and their faces will not change from life to death because of the years. But it is precisely because of this that they have also become the most coveted prey of slave owners......

Hundreds of years ago, the Ice Elves did not live in the depths of the Ethereal Cold, and they still had some trade with foreign races, after all, there were some necessities of life that could only be traded in the outer continents in the extremely cold Ethereal Cold Continent. At that time, although there were also ice elves who were caught by slave owners and became slave traders, things had not yet reached an unbearable limit. Until something happened that ignited the wrath of all the Ice Elves, and they started a long war against the slave owners.

It was the daughter of the Elven Empress, a royal nobleman of the Ice Elves at that time, who was caught by a powerful slave trader during an outing, and died tragically in a foreign land. This incident shocked the entire Longtu world, and the enraged Elven Empress began to carry out a frantic revenge war against the slave owners of various races, and for a time the smoke of gunfire broke out.

The war went on for a long time, and although the slave owners of any race were always vulnerable, they could not be completely eliminated like greed. This also made the Ice Elf Clan realize that their struggle like this is endless, and although the Elven Empress is angry at the tragic death of his daughter, he is still the head of the clan after all, and he cannot let his people fall into a long-term war. So he made a decision that surprised all races - all of them migrated to the deepest depths of the ethereal cold and began to live in isolation, while they spread magical enchantments and traps around the realm to prevent outsiders from entering.

In this way, since then, the Ice Elves have disappeared from the Dragon Atlas World for hundreds of years, and no one knows how they lived in the depths of the Ethereal Cold Continent, where supplies were scarce...... Over time, they disappeared from people's sight for a long time and became the most mysterious race in the world. And now people only know that there is such an ancient race living in the distant ethereal cold continent. Although there are still ice elves who have been caught by slave owners in the past few hundred years, they are also rare, and whoever participates in this sordid trade will receive the most brutal revenge, reminding people that they still exist in this world.

In the country of the Ice Elves, the place where they live is called Ice Crystal City, and the buildings in the city are palaces made of magic and ice bricks that have been solidified for more than a hundred years, and the Ice Elves' extremely cold physique also makes them never afraid of the cold, so they don't need to wrap themselves in thick fur clothes, thin and thin silk brocade clothes and rare ornaments are the only clothes on their bodies. In this way, the elves among them, no matter what status, seem to be princesses and princes living in a huge crystal palace.

The ice elves are described like this because of the beauty they have, but in such a uniform and beautiful face, there is an elf face that looks a little different. Although this face is not the most perfect among the thousands of ice elves, compared to the cold and impersonal expressions on the faces of other elves, there is a rare hint of girlish hesitation on this face. And her thoughts came from a small thing in front of her, only to see a small green jade ring between her fingers, which was as slender as a jade shoot, shining with green light.

Her blue eyes stared at the jade ring in her hand like a deep blue gem, and a vague figure flashed in her mind, it wasn't tall, but it was certain that it wasn't their ice elf. But the strange thing is that this shadow has been appearing in the deep sea of his memory for months and cannot be erased. Their ice elves have never had any good feelings for the foreign race, and most of them are also because many of the elves in the clan have never dealt with them. But she is different, as the only group of elves in the clan who have dealt with foreigners, she naturally understands the greed, selfishness and darkness of foreigners, so she wonders why she feels this way......

What is also puzzling is that she always feels that there is a missing part of her memory, like the bridge connecting them on the other side of two memories...... And that memory was about a trade with a foreign race, which was also her position, responsible for the supply of goods in the elven kingdom - trade with foreign tribes. That's right, although the Ice Elves have lived in the depths of the Ethereal Cold Continent for hundreds of years and have never shown their faces, secretly they also need to maintain infrequent communication with the outside world and obtain all the resources they need from it. Of course, all this was done in secret, navigating the secret routes they had formed over the centuries and trading with their most loyal and reliable "friends" from the outside world.

That "friend" is the Silver Trace Castle, where half of the territory is in the Ethereal Cold Continent. No one would have thought that the Terran Silver Trace Castle would secretly cooperate with the Ice Elf Clan, providing a huge guarantee for their lives, and all kinds of materials such as food, weapons, clothing, silk ..... were secretly transported from the Silver Trace Castle to Ice Crystal City. This kind of cooperative transaction is mutually beneficial, and the specific content of the transaction is only known to each Silvermark Castle Lord and Elven Emperor, and except for them and their own henchmen, all the other people of Silvermark Castle do not even know the slightest news about cooperating with the Ice Elves.

"Ice Elf—"

A cold voice interrupted her thoughts, in fact, everyone in this country is so cold, it seems that the consequence of being surrounded by ice and snow is that you are just like them.

Bingyou, who was still deep in thought just now, turned her head, her expression had returned to the same coldness as her kind, and the jade ring in her hand had been hidden at some point. In front of her was an inferior ice elf in a light white tulle dress, why she was so sure, because their ice elves' costumes were fixed, and the depth of the color of the gauze skirt determined their rank, although it was a special system, but it made them observe it for hundreds of years.

When it comes to the color of the gauze skirt, from the lowest-level light white to the light blue that is close to the middle elves, to the azure blue of the high elves, the color of their clothes changes accordingly whenever their magical abilities improve. Therefore, the color of the clothes is a symbol of status and power in this kingdom of ice elves, and inferior ice elves are generally called elves directly. And the long gauze skirt on Bingyou's body is already close to the color of the light blue medium elf, but the person who talks to her only calls her an elf, indicating that she has not yet been promoted to a medium elf, and the promotion to a medium elf requires the title to be granted by the Elf Emperor himself.

"—The Empress summons you to meet her at the Dance of the Ice Towers. The inferior elf conveyed the empress's message word for word, and after seeing the ice elf nodding, he turned to leave.

The Empress wants to see me at the Dance of the Ice Towers?, and Bingyou couldn't help but wonder what would happen to the noble Empress to wait for her in the Dance of the Ice Towers. The Dance of Ice is the most majestic structure in their Ice Elf Realm, and it resembles a dancing Ice Elf. That is also the crystal statue of the first elven emperor of their elven kingdom, the ice empress, where he usually receives the head of the foreign clan with a figure of considerable status, but later because the ice elves cut off contact with foreign races, it has become a holy place for the entire ice elf clan.

Could it be that the memory that was inexplicably missing? The expectation in Bingyou's heart began to rise sharply. That memory must have happened on that trip a few months ago...... She still remembers following the supply troops from Ice Crystal City, walking on the secret path to Silvermark Castle, arriving at Silvermark Castle and making secret transactions, and finally ...... In the end, there was no trace of the next picture in my mind. When she finally woke up, she found that she was no longer in Silvermark, but lying in her own bed. But she had no idea what was going on, except that she held a green jade ring tightly in her palm, and it was the only thing she could trace her memories to. She had studied this jade ring before, it was very hard, and its texture was not something that their Ice Elf clan could polish. There is only one possibility for this, and that is what happened to this jade ring during that trip......

Bingyou only thought about it for a moment, then got up and headed to the Dance of Ice to meet the empress of their Ice Elf Clan.

When she arrived at the vast, imposing palace of the Dance of Ice Towers, a slender but majestic figure was already sitting on a huge crystal seat. It was an unblemished face, with eyes as blue as the depths of the sea, long hair as white as snow, and her long dress as refreshing as the color in her eyes. That is the second empress of the Ice Elf clan in hundreds of years (the others are all male empresses) that Bing You wants to see.

Bingyou slowly walked to the center of the palace, her eyes filled with deep respect. In fact, the elven queen in front of her is not much older than herself, but she has ruled such a huge elven kingdom for nearly thirty years (the elven race is a long-lived race, and the average lifespan is generally twice that of other races, so even if one is flexible for fifty years, it is actually only equivalent to the youth of other races). She participated in the Battle of Zhongzhou that year, and led the Ice Elf army to deal a fatal blow to the dark team. Although these things were only heard of by Bingyou, who was still young at the time, they left a very deep admiration for the Elven Empress in her heart, and even some awe, her strength and courage are what Bingyou has been pursuing.

"The Empress. Bingyou bowed slightly.

Bingduzi stared at her, her eyelashes as thin as ice flakes blinked, and she pointed to an icicle standing tall on the left side of the palace. Bingyou looked over and found that the icicles were extremely thick, and more than a dozen people probably couldn't close their hands. The strange thing is that there are traces of large and small, deep and shallow traces on the cylinder, and I don't know how they were formed.

"Hit it with all your might. Bing Duzi's thin lips twitched, and he ordered.

Now Bingyou knew that he finally knew where the scars on it came from. She didn't prepare too much, and between her slender fingers, a circle of light blue light swirled, like flowing water attached to it. Then with a slight wave of his palm, the light like flowing water turned into a blade and went straight to the icicle.

The light blue light stabbed the icicle like a sharp sword, making a "clang" cutting sound, and then left a mark on it, but this mark seemed to be deeper and longer than the countless marks on it.

Bingyou knew that the Empress had asked her to do this to test her, and she was a little frustrated to see that her elven magic had only left such a small mark on the icicles.

But to her surprise, the Empress nodded, and there was still a hint of relief on her face.

"Not bad. ”

Although Bingyou didn't understand, getting her praise made her cold heart feel a little warm, and being able to get the empress's praise was what every ice elf wanted the most, but this kind of opportunity was very rare.

"Don't be surprised," perhaps recognizing the contrast on her face when she heard her praise in frustration, Bingduzi explained, "This icicle has been formed here for hundreds of years. Maybe you've heard of the world's hardest metal, Ancient Flame Steel......"

Bingyu nodded respectfully, although she had never seen it, she had heard that most of the artifacts in the world were forged from this rare metal.

"Even if you use the weapon it forged to slash at this icicle, it's not half as deep as the mark you just made. And...... "the Elven Empress paused, "see that mark beneath it? it was a mark I created with magic at your age." ”

When Bingyou heard this, she hurriedly looked over, only to see that there was really a trace under the trace she had just struck with magic. It's just that although this mark is longer and deeper than hers, it is not much different.

"Congratulations, Bingyou, you have successfully advanced to the rank of Medium Elf and become the backbone of our Ice Elf Kingdom. With a flick of the empress's palm, the color of Bingyou's long skirt began to change, and the blue deepened, finally reaching the standard of a medium elf.

This moment was very sudden for Bingyou, but she was very excited, she didn't expect the middle elf to reach it so quickly, she originally thought that it would need to be honed for more than ten years...... And what made her even more overwhelmed was that the Empress seemed to be deliberately revealing something to her, the power of magic of the same age...... Could it be that he would be on par with the empress at that time? No, this may be because the empress didn't use all her strength at that time, Bingyou persuaded herself not to think too much.

Bingyou bowed slightly to accept this sacred moment, and from this moment on, she became a medium ice spirit admired by thousands of elves. After all, there are still very few middle elves in the clan, and even fewer high elves.

"Besides—"

Bingyou noticed that the empress's tone suddenly became serious, which made her wonder in her heart, could it be about that memory?

"I will appoint you as a candidate for the thirteenth Elven Emperor of the Ice Elf Kingdom. ”

The Elven Empress's words were unfazed, but they set off big waves in Bingyou's heart. Even though today was her lucky day, she would never have thought that she would have something to do with the Elven Emperor. She is not an elven royalty, and appointing a candidate means that if the current empress has an accident or is too old to step down from the throne, and the empress has no heirs, then she is the new ice elf empress. And as it stands, the second is certainly not the cause, so the first remains...... Could it be that the empress has discovered some hidden dangers?

"The Empress...... There are a few high elves in the clan, and there are medium elves who have advanced long before me, I ......" Even though Bingyou didn't want to disobey the empress's wishes, he still whispered.

"Although the elven magic of the previous elven emperors is one of the strongest in the clan, not the strongest magic strength can be qualified for the elven emperor. The Elven Emperor is responsible for the future of the Elven Kingdom, and is an ice elf with foresight and courage...... "Bing Duzi looked ahead, his blue eyes full of worry, "and the upcoming battle between darkness and justice will definitely take many of us away." Whatever the outcome, remember that your mission is not to let the thousand-year-old legacy of our Ice Elf Kingdom end here. ”

Bingyou seems to understand the reason for all this. The darkness in the Empress's mouth, she knew was the evil Dark Alliance. And she also heard some rumors, this group of demons who were beaten back to their lair more than ten years ago have resurged, re-attacked, and are wreaking havoc in the Source of Life Continent. And this time their strength is stronger than more than ten years ago, but the other races in the world are declining day by day.

The Empress did this to leave a way out for the Ice Elves, and in the event of a war with the Dark Alliance, she would definitely bring all the strength of her clan and spare no effort to fight evil...... But why would the empress let herself take on this great responsibility, in contrast, she would prefer to step on the battlefield and slash the enemy. Even if she is considered the best in the clan and has been promoted to the ranks of the few middle elves, she has never discovered the foresight and courage that the empress said in her mouth, and she has never had the opportunity to find out, I don't know how she saw this.

"Yes, Empress, I will not fail in my mission!"

Bingyou had no reason to refuse this sacred and heavy mission, but this time the meeting with the Empress did not solve all the doubts in her mind, but only added to it. She wanted to ask, but she didn't know where to start.

"You may wonder why you are qualified to be the sustenance of this important task?" the Empress saw through her mind at a glance.

Bingyou nodded vigorously, she understood that the Empress must know the whole story, so she said expectantly, "Yes, there is still a ......"

"Memory?" interrupted Bingduzi.

"Yes, Empress. Bingyou was not surprised, she had long known that the Empress must know everything.

"Okay, it's time for you to recover ...... too"

Although Bingyou didn't know what was going on, she saw the empress slowly wave her hand, and a blue light flew towards her. She didn't dodge, and the light entered her forehead. What happened next was a moment she would never forget.

After the light entered his forehead, Bingyou felt a cold tingling, and then the missing memories in his mind began to reappear little by little. From the beginning of the trade transaction at Silvermark Castle, everything is safe and sound, and he is doing his duty. It happened on the way back, he accidentally found several evil creatures in the secret path, in order to protect the family's information from being spied on by outsiders, he actually left the elf team alone to pursue those evil creatures. But they were extremely fast, and they tried their best to catch up, and finally subdued them with elven magic. But at that time, the sphere of influence of the elven race, which he had already left, had stepped into the Continent of the Source of Life......

Recalling this, a bad premonition rose in Bingyou's heart. Sure enough, in his memories, he was about to return to the clan with these evil creatures, but he fell for someone else's plot and fainted. When she wakes up again to find herself locked in a huge crystal cabinet full of ice cubes, she realizes that she has been captured by the legendary evil slave owner. Although her body was intact and showed no signs of being violated (that was also because their ice elves' body temperatures were the coldest temperatures, unless she took the initiative to restore the temperature herself or dispel the elven magic in her body in other ways, others would basically confess even if they touched her life), she still felt powerless, unable to cast any elven magic, let alone escape.

In the days that followed, she was locked up in a crystal cabinet and transported around, often with many people haunting her cabinet, and the obscene laughter and unbearable words made her angry. But this anger was gradually replaced by fear, and they knew from an old age that the slave owners would sell their slaves to perverted, disgusting buyers, and they would do all kinds of beastly things to the slaves.

However, he did not give up, and still sought every opportunity to escape, but such an opportunity appeared. It was a time when a curious person wanted to see himself up close, and opened the crystal cabinet from the outside. When the cabinet was opened, he suddenly felt that his physical strength had been restored repeatedly, and the elven magic could be used freely, but he hesitated for a moment because he doubted whether it was a trap, and as a result, the opportunity was missed. From that time on, the slave owners also learned their lesson and transformed the crystal cabinet into a closed cabinet that could no longer be easily opened by outsiders......

Although he missed this great opportunity, he was glad to understand that the reason for his weakness and inability to perform magic must be because of the ice cubes that surrounded his body. And as long as there is a gap in this crystal cabinet, then she can escape from this confinement.

I can only wait patiently for the opportunity, although I don't know when it will appear.

After a few more bumps, he finally stopped, and he was transported to Qingyun City, a metropolis of the Terran race, for auction. There was a moment when she was really desperate when she was placed on the stand, but the turning point was that the moment the auctioneer hammered down, a rapid green light suddenly shot from a distance towards the crystal cabinet and through the hard countertop...... As soon as the light pierced, he regained some strength and magic, and found that what was stuck in the ice was a green jade ring, which was the jade ring that he had been holding in his hand for the past few months. But who saved her at such a critical juncture, she looked up at the front, passed through the obscene and evil faces, and finally saw a young man with blue eyes and an evil smile on his face looking at her.

In the end, she didn't have time to take care of too much, so she broke through the "cage" and escaped, and when she ran back to the family realm exhausted, she collapsed and fell to the ground......

Bingyou recalled all the missing memories, and looked ahead in a daze, as if he had not yet detached himself from the thrilling memories of this scene.

"I erased your memory because your body was extremely weak at that time, and that memory was too tortuous and painful for you to bear until you were fully recovered. In addition, those evil creatures are called rat spirits, and they are the lackeys and spies of the Dark Alliance, and they have stumbled into our realm by mistake," the Empress said lightly, "Although it is dangerous for you to chase after you, if you didn't do it at that time, maybe the Dark Alliance would know our location by now, and then countless people of our Elven Kingdom will be miserable." So, you understand why I made you a candidate for the Elven Emperor, right?"

Bing Youyou nodded indifferently, the empress's words came in and out of her ears, but her thoughts had already flown far away. The jade ring was held in her palm again at some point, warm and calming her.
