【Alchemy Material: Frozen Water】

[Alchemy catalyst that condenses the essence of cold, the temperature is extremely low; An item necessary to craft certain high-tier flasks. 】

[Special alchemy catalyst, moderate value. 】

Lindsay took out the alchemy table and made a copy of [Frozen Water].

It's just that the subsequent synthesis of this thing is a potion such as Ice Dragon's Breath Elixir or Lich Transformation Concoction. The materials that are in demand are even more materials that have never been heard of, such as [Ice River Cold Spring] and [Vengeful Soul].

"There's certainly no hope now."

Lindsey quickly put these things away, and then came to Red's side:

"Something is frozen down there?"

Lindsay bent down and lowered the torch as low as she could, and sure enough, she saw what Red was talking about.

The refraction in the ice makes the light hazy, but there is a black thing.

"Hmmm......"

Lindsay looked up at the cave overhead.

When the broken ice fell just now, it had already caused a lot of movement, but now you can use a pickaxe to open the way.

Brush –

The glow of the meteorite pickaxe shimmers in the glacier.

With a few clicks, it cracked open the ice underneath, revealing some black stone with obvious artificial marks.

Analyze it only from the top, like the top of a building.

"A building down there?"

Lindsay glanced at the [Frozen City] on the taskbar, and immediately beckoned to the girl next to her:

"Red, come here, let's dig down together."

"Keep it as quiet as possible, though."

Lindsey and Red get their hands dirty.

They dug down the black spire, and the top of the building gradually came into view.

Below is a tall black tower.

The dark black stone is solemn, and the sharp shape also reveals a unique dynamic beauty.

In the past, the spires of the towers here may have pointed directly to the stars in the sky.

But now it can only be buried in the depths of the glacier, where it sleeps along with its ancient history.

Dig down the spire.

The heights of the Black Tower have been completely frozen over, and the interior space has been filled with ice.

However, after 40 or 50 meters of continuous descent into the country, the color of the glacier where it was sealed begins to fade.

"This color ......"

Lindsay stopped the pickaxe and relieved his cold resistance, and the cold immediately made him shiver:

"Sure enough, the temperature here is a little cooler than above."

Red asked curiously:

"So further down, the temperature will rise, and there will even be no glaciers?"

Lindsay lifts the meteorite pickaxe again:

"This kind of thing, then we have to go down to find out."

The two continued to dig down, this time just over 10 meters, revealing an open stargazing platform from the black tower, and the internal structure was clearly revealed.

"It's time to go in here!"

The inside of the tower, which is completely frozen, is not visible at all due to the filling of ice blocks.

From here, the inside of the tower has been unfrozen!

Lindsay took out the radar detection, and then took the lead in turning over and jumping in:

"Red, put away the pickaxe, let's go inside."

The two of them carefully entered the interior of the tower from the stargazing platform.

Although there are not a lot of glaciers to fill the indoor space, the temperature here is also very low, and some glass objects are covered with frost and even frozen cracks.

The tower is clearly not a place to live.

It is built of dark black stone from the top to the position where Lindsay is located, the inner layer of the tower is between 3~5 meters, and the lower the floor, the higher the height.

Something that can be seen inside the building.

It's also a variety of weird instruments that have nothing to do with daily life.

Two more floors down the cold staircase, Lindsey and Red are stopped by a frozen door.

This door is carved with strange runes.

Originally, there may have been essentia flow on it, but after countless years, its former function has long since disappeared.

Lindsay easily opened the door and saw the floor below.

There was hardly anything here, just an empty hall, and in the center was a lone raised platform with a half-moon groove.

"It's like ......"

Seeing this scene, Lindsay thought of the lighthouse on the hidden edge, where the ancestral spirit core was placed.

The structure here is somewhat similar.

It's a pity that the recess is empty, and the core here has obviously been taken away.

Further down, something striking finally appeared in the tower.

This is the floor of a library function, and there are many scrolls on the shelves, and Lindsey walks over and pulls them open at random.

Because of the special environment, these scrolls were not damaged.

But the text above ......

"Well, I still can't understand it!"

Something was written in unfamiliar writing, and there were constellation-like patterns drawn on it.

Lindsey wasn't sure if these things would come in handy in the future.

However, it was a part-time archaeologist's job, and he stuffed these scrolls into his bag first, and obtained a total of 127 volumes of [Unknown Ancient Texts].

“……”

"Lindsay, it looks like there's no ice out there!"

Just then, a red voice came from below.

When Lindsay was collecting ancient documents, the girl couldn't bear the loneliness and went down to the floor below.

Hearing the voice, Lindsay hurriedly walked below.

Red stands on the edge of a stone window.

She was almost halfway out, and one leg was still half-cocked up, shaking constantly.

Even if this guy falls in the next second, it won't be surprising.

“……”

This posture is extremely seductive.

Lindsey kind of lifted Red's other leg up.

Then the urge to take out the guy like a garbage dump, but he resisted it.

"What's going on out there?"

Lindsay walked over and looked, and as Red said, the glacier had disappeared at this depth.

Instead, there is a hemispherical space held by glaciers.

Lindsay looked down first.

There were still a few tens of meters down the Black Tower, and they were almost in the semi-central position.

Turning his gaze into the distance, the glacier that seals it is like a translucent dome.

A number of glowing green orbs are hung from the top of the glacier to illuminate the city in a ghostly light.

"Huh?"

At this time, Lindsay's stats panel changed again.

He opened it and looked.

It's not just the Frozen City quest that has been completed.

Even the map skill, as if unlocking an overlook, brings the entire city into the scope of exploration.

However, these news are all important to Lindsay now.

Because in the midst of this ancient frozen city, hundreds of dangerous red dots are going on here!

"Here...... There can't be any other strange creatures, right? ”

Lindsay pulled out her binoculars and looked into the distance on a street with red dots.

Sure enough, a guy with a human appearance and a strange sarcoma on his body walked around slowly.

"Resuscitator ......"

Lindsay immediately recognized the other party's identity.

He dragged Red back to the Black Tower.

The action was so fierce that the inertia even made the two of them sit on the cold floor.

Lindsay turned his head to look at the inexplicable redness on his face, and said in a tone of surprise and helplessness:

"Red, now there's good news."

"It looks like we've stumbled into the base of those resuscitators!"
