When Lenn left the wizarding world, the world was still the end of spring, and summer had begun.

But when he came back again, it was already the middle of winter.

He had spent a long time in ancient Greece, where the civilization had gone before, and the world had passed the whole summer, autumn, and half of the winter.

Of course, the northern sky did not have the brilliant and warm sunshine of the Mediterranean, and in addition, it was winter, and the layers of dark clouds in the sky were very low, oppressive and cold.

As a result, as soon as Lan En took a step out of the celestial sphere meeting rift, a white mist representing heat appeared on his body and at the corners of his mouth, and then these mist were carried away by the cold wind on Lake Vegema, pulling into a slender shape and drifting away.

The drastic temperature difference didn't make Lan En shiver, but it was enough to make his hairs stand on end.

The witcher wiped his face as he scrambled on the marble floor covered with a layer of lake water.

"It's me, and it's estimated that a serious illness will take place for another person."

Lan muttered to himself, and soon, a fresh, gentle voice picked up his muttering.

"That's why you're here to make a pact with me."

Even in this gloomy winter, the smell of the lady in the lake is still fresh, like fresh, crumpled lotus flowers and lotus leaves.

"Welcome back, my champion."

On the throne held up by the waves of the lake, the lady of the lake smiled and stretched out her right hand to Lane.

The witcher saluted smoothly after turning, holding the woman's outstretched hand with his hand, and kissing the other on the knuckle.

This was a popular etiquette in a long time ago.

This was something that Lan En knew about during a casual conversation with Tishaya.

"You look content, but you're still worried"

After the ceremony was completed, the lady of the lake lifted the long dark green hair that covered her front and leaned over to Lan En with great interest.

"Looks like you've learned a lot from this trip."

Lan En subconsciously looked away as always, he was still a little shy when facing the lady of the lake.

But now that we've talked about it, Lan En pulled out the Ankh cross and the stone with the runes engraved on it from the alchemy leather bag.

As soon as he left the magic blocking gold bomb in the alchemy leather bag, the stone began to emit a biting chill.

It stands to reason that the outside environment is quite cold now, but the cold air emitted by this stone can still make people feel a kind of 'abrupt' cold.

So much so that the water that could submerge the instep of Lan's feet had begun to freeze in a 'kalakala' sound.

Lan En obviously didn't expect this thing to be able to freeze the flowing water of the lake, and his eyes widened slightly.

But the Lady of the Lake, sitting on the throne of the waves, behaved very calmly.

Her lake-green fingers lifted slightly, and they dotted lazily in mid-air, and then the cold air emitted by the stones disappeared.

"Hah, [hoarfrost]."

Lann heard a chuckle from the Lady of the Lake, as if it was something that amused her.

"How did you get this, Lanne?"

So Lane gave a brief account of Hapalos, and the Lady of the Lake nodded without any waves.

Her lake-green finger tapped the Ankh cross again.

"It's not the same path as ours, but I feel the power of 'life' on it, and you want to use it to complete your surgery?"

"I do have this idea, this is a kind of technological product, very smart and convenient."

Lan En said generously, after all, the lady of the lake had personally watched him have undergone surgery.

"It's a pity that this thing is given permission to use it, and only some people in the world I've been to have the right to use it."

As he spoke, Lan En looked at the lady of the lake with an expectant look.

"I can't help you bypass this thing's permissions, as I said, this thing doesn't have the same path as our side. If I follow my method, I'm not sure if its abilities will be affected. After all, its internal structure looks exquisite. ”

The lady of the lake said helplessly, but then she smiled and changed her words.

"But thankfully – you found the stone."

"Stones?"

Lan En asked puzzledly, compared to the ultra-high-tech and super-functional Ankh Cross, he actually didn't value this stone from the wizarding world.

After all, it's just cold, and it doesn't seem to be too bad to squeeze the chaos magic of Tishaya or Margarita and let them help them get a few more special versions of [North Wind].

But listening to the lady of the lake, this thing is not simple?

"This isn't a magical device to emit freezing air, Lan. What it really does is as part of a teleportation beacon. ”

The waves held the stones and levitated, but now the freezing air on the stones had no effect on these seemingly delicate waves.

"The cold is not its own power, it is just the location it is connected to, the temperature difference transmitted."

"Your Golden Bomb is of no use against [White Frost], as the creation of that kind of cold phenomenon does not depend on Chaos Mana. The reason why you were able to suppress this stone with the Hinder Gold is because the teleportation magic on it is suppressed. ”

Wait, teleportation magic?

Lan En was keenly aware of something, and his beautiful eyes widened slightly.

"Yes, Lanne." The lady seemed to understand what Lan En was thinking, and she pushed the stone back into Lan En's hand.

"This stone was not brought by the chasm of the celestial spheres. This thing was there before you even went to that world."

"It's a magic beacon that can cross worlds. A thing made by the elves of ancient times. ”

"Cross-world magic? Do the elves have this technology? ”

Rann was surprised by this, because in this world, the elves were not in a good situation.

It's as ridiculous as saying, 'An interstellar race is discriminated against, kept in captivity, and slaughtered on Earth.'"

"Their technology is lost, their generations are gone. They themselves are divided. ”

The Lady of the Lake explained briefly, as if this level of technological degradation was a common occurrence in her eyes, as if she had seen it many times.

"If you parse the magic on this stone, you may be able to have some options in the link to the Celestial Sphere Junction Rift. Absolutely."

As she spoke, the lady of the lake smiled a little embarrassedly.

"As for how to analyze magic, it's not my domain, I'll just use it."

Lane was surprised by the lady's statement, but quickly accepted it.

God is not a wish-making machine, which he has long realized.

"It's okay, ma'am." Lan En put away the Ankh Cross and the Elder Elf stone and smiled at the lady.

"The news is enough to cheer me up."
