Chapter 562: The Awakening of the Ice Phoenix
Chapter 562: The Awakening of the Ice Phoenix
The far north is shrouded in frost and snow that has lasted for an unknown number of years. Ever since life was born here, since life began to observe the world, and since life began to record history, the sky here has always been It was snowing, intermittently, and then again.
Does frost and snow also have a source?
If you want to find the answer to this question, then you have to go all the way north from the south bank of the northern border, across many countries that believe in the frost phoenix, all the way to the depths of the widest snow field, and to the foot of Saima Snow Mountain. The huge mountains of heaven and earth are the source of the legendary frost and snow.
If you are more brave, you will continue to climb up, passing through the deserted mountainside to the top of the mountain blocked by space turbulence
At this moment, in the depths of Saima Snow Mountain, the upside-down mountain peaks formed by the overlapping and fuzzy spatial turbulence are particularly lively.
A large and strong woman is surrounding a group of people, walking slowly through the mountain road surrounded by turbulent space.
"Be careful, if you fall into the turbulent space, even the arrival of the phoenix will not be able to save you."
The female troll leading the way propped up the ground with a halberd as a crutch, and at the same time warned the dozens of people wrapped up in their troll team—even though the female troll team only had a dozen or so people Compared with the guys surrounded by them, they are more than two-thirds smaller, but because of the huge disparity in size, it seems that those human beings combined are not as many as half of them.
At this moment, surrounded by these trolls is a group of slightly embarrassed people, most of them are women, and they are strong-looking Sardinian women.
Among them was an old man with a strong figure and wearing a simple cold-proof robe, holding in his arms a shivering little girl with round mouse ears who shrank into a ball. Beside him, an old woman who looked fat but strong was also holding two little rat-men girls in her arms.
If Fisher was here, he would of course recognize him. This is his old classmate's father, Old Jack, the first mate of the Iceberg Queen, Pachz, and her three adopted granddaughters of the rat race.
In front of this group of Sardinian women, there is a girl with short blond hair who looks quite strong. She has the appearance of an extremely noble Nari blood, with blond hair and golden eyes, but because of long-term wind, food and sleep, she is also It lost its noble and weak appearance, and turned more like a little lion.
It was Elizabeth Godling's sister, Isabel Godling.
At this moment, she is supporting a tall, listless, and frail-looking Sardinian woman.
The woman's long white hair was drooping at the back of her head a little godlessly, and her elegant and serious face was slightly lowered at the moment, and her extremely pale face could occasionally be seen in the scattered white hair.
She gently clutched her lower abdomen, wrapped her body in the extremely simple robe, and leaned weakly on Pakhz's body beside her.Black smoke kept coming out of her lower abdomen, as if something had penetrated deeply into her body at the end of the smoke, sucking everything out of her.
"Cough cough."
It was freezing cold, coupled with physical factors, the Sardinian woman couldn't help coughing slightly.
Isabel beside her gritted her teeth and looked at the female troll leading the way in front of her, and couldn't help saying in Northern dialect,
"How long will it take to arrive? We have been walking for almost half an hour!"
The troll in front was still walking, just touched the back of his head, and said in a daze,
"It's almost here, it should be, I don't know, I usually see it as I walk."
Isabel gritted her teeth speechlessly, but there was nothing she could do.
She has heard that there are many sub-human races on the snow mountain. The only remaining blood of the six legendary snow mountain races have all returned to the snow mountain. Among them, there seems to be a race called slime that can be teleported.
But now their ship sank in the process of escaping, and even the captain Alagina was seriously injured because of the relics of the black chieftain. Now they urgently need a place to take refuge and rest. They thought that returning to the north would be a little safer , but did not expect that the Turan family here, Nari, and the black chieftain are in cahoots.
In the past few years, Isabel has truly realized the sadness of "the world is so big that there is no place to stay".
Her older sister is really too powerful, her influence and puppets are everywhere, which makes Isabel a little breathless.
"...It's okay, Isabel, I can still hold on."
At this moment, Alagina who was beside her suddenly spoke hoarsely, which made Isabel recover from worry.
Looking at the pale Alagina in front of her, she suddenly felt guilty, and whispered,
"I'm sorry, Captain Alagina, I was the one who dragged everyone down. I should have gone back to Nari at that time, so everyone wouldn't."
Alagina's long white eyelashes touched some frost and snow of the same color. Hearing this, she shook her head and said,
"Even if it's not because of you, one day in the future, because of Fisher, Elizabeth will not let us go, it's just sooner or later. If this is the case, this time might as well come sooner. What's more, Phoenix is still here. Didn't kill all our hopes, did it?"
"Phoenix."
Isabel looked a little hesitant, she didn't know whether to believe such an illusory legend.
It's just that the entire northern region is now rumored that in Saima Snow Mountain, the legendary frost phoenix has reincarnated and is going to take the northern region back and place it under the shadow of her wings.But just based on the migration of those sub-human races, can such a judgment be made based on the fact that there are trolls on the top of Saima Snow Mountain?
Isabel didn't know, but she didn't speak again. She just silently supported Alagina and approached the front with all the remaining crew members of the Iceberg Queen.
Although these female trolls looked silly, they were unexpectedly honest and frank, because it didn't take long for another scene to appear before their eyes.
"Here we are."
Hearing the troll's muffled voice reminding her, Isabel unconsciously raised her head and looked forward.But they found that they had passed through the previous turbulent space at some point, and with the change of space, the scene ahead also changed drastically.
At the end of the gradually leveling snowfield in front, there is a huge towering tower, its shining luster is rare in the world, it is the legendary pure ice.
The miraculous light of pure ice fell upside down from the sky, covering the entire snowfield they stepped on along the sunlight, and it was only now that Isabel realized that the place they stepped on was also made of pure ice
"That's the Frost Snow Sycamore Tree?"
As if from the sky as the soil and the earth as the goal, the towering tower grows upside down. In front of it, countless statues of creatures kneeling on the ground or who have long since disappeared or still exist have devout faces, recording the past glory of this place.
But what caught Isabel's attention even more was that the gate of the Frost Snow Sycamore tree was opening, revealing many troll species and snow fox species inside.
"cracking!"
At this moment, above the sky, a shadow wearing the same simple robe as them flew towards this side quickly, and behind her was a colorful parrot that had lost a lot of hair and kept flapping its wings.
"Sister Ossie!"
It was a bird species. After seeing the people below, she immediately landed in front of them, shook her unretracted wings, and knocked off the wind and snow above.
Behind him, the first mate Pakhz, who looked much thinner than before, hurried out and asked Ossie,
"How about it, what do those slimes mean?"
Ossie looked at Pahz, pondered for a moment, and then said,
"...they said...it's still under consideration."
"What?! Still thinking about it? What if we don't agree? We have worked so hard to climb here after listening to their words. What should we do if we don't agree? Return the same way?"
Ossie's ears hurt from Pahez's loud voice, she raised her feathered wings and rubbed her ears hidden in her long white hair, and then explained,
"It's not that they don't think about us, it's that they have...more important things to do."
"Be busy! Be busy!"
The parrot next to it lost a lot of feathers, but its expression still seemed unaffected, nodded and repeated.
Pahz glanced behind him, the group of trolls who escorted them had all walked away, no one knew where to rest, and no one came to greet them, as if they were left to fend for themselves.
Thinking of this, Pahez got angry. She folded her hands, looked at the magnificent frosty sycamore tree behind Ossie, spit on the snow beside her, and said cursingly,
"Her father, this group of fucking plasticine slimes. Forget about being snobbish, the lion opened his mouth, and wouldn't send us up until we paid all of us, which made us run so far! Alaki Na was injured! If I hadn't asked you to come up to see the situation, wouldn't we have to hang out here for a few days before we know the result!? Her father, this group of hidden people from the snow-capped mountains What are you busy with all day long, are they going to fight Nari too?"
Isabel stretched out her hand helplessly, trying to stop Pahezi who was yelling at the door of the other party's home. After all, they came here to ask for help, but they couldn't get in the way, so they had to look back at the three rat girls who were holding the three rat girls in their arms to keep warm. Old Jack, who knows that he also shook his head, expressing that he had no choice.
"Pah Z."
It was Alagina, who was in poor condition next to her, who spoke softly to stop her first officer from speaking rudely.
Pahz kept silent, but the expression on his face was still not good-looking, he just looked angrily at the nearby female troll who lay sprawled in the ice and snow and fell asleep, but didn't seem to feel anything at all.
Ossie also sighed, she looked at the frosty sycamore tree behind her, and couldn't help explaining,
"I can't help it. They seem to say that Phoenix is about to wake up, so everyone is very nervous."
Pahez's originally angry expression froze when he heard Ossie's words, and everyone behind him, especially the Sardinian women, looked at Ossie in disbelief.
"No. What are you talking about? Phoenix? They really have Phoenix here? Have you seen it?"
".No, but there is a high probability that it is true. I went in and looked inside, and the decoration inside is really where the phoenixes lived before. This is the Frost Snow Sycamore tree."
"."
Pahz opened his mouth wide, no matter how angry his face was, as a Sardinian woman, he never dared to attack again.
You know, being disrespectful to the phoenix in the northern border is like being disrespectful to the mother god in Kadu. Besides, they all believe in the frost phoenix, so of course they know how to taboo
Pahz curled his lips, like a wilted rooster, unable to speak anymore.
She had no choice but to kick the snowdrift next to her, and waited for a while before complaining in a low voice,
"Then can't you take us to a warmer place, my old Jack is almost freezing to death?"
At this time, inside the frosty sycamore tree, through the outside area, came to the courtyard of the deep and huge cylindrical phoenix.
Unlike the darkness and dead silence when Fisher came four and a half years ago, the place is now brightly lit and noisy.Although up to now, after the baptism of the years and the massacre of the curse, the number of the six Xueshan tribes is far less than before. Even if all of them have entered here, it still doesn't look very lively, but they are still popular.
And in the depths of the plane tree, above the roots left by the world tree, is the place where Princess Yue died and left her body.The broken walls and ruins here have been cleaned by the trolls, and Princess Moon's body has been properly buried, and then some temporary houses have been built here to protect their master who has been sleeping below all these years.
But at this moment, several big figures from the six races are pacing back and forth anxiously here, except for the giant slime king who looks like a baby, Balen, he is really too huge , can't move at all.
Daliwuwu and Cocolia, the elders of the two troll species, were looking at the roots of the World Tree emitting a radiant light below. Daliwuwu said with a serious expression,
"No, the roots have grown branches, and those branches have entangled the phoenix's eggshell."
Behind them, a very tall female of the Cangyi species wearing a Sardinian women's helmet glanced down and asked with a cold face,
"What does it mean?"
Cocolia glanced at the blue bird in front of her and said,
"Hamlia, it means that the tree root entangled the eggshell, making it impossible for us to take out the eggshell of Nirvana. But the problem is that the surface of the eggshell is already full of cracks, and the arrival of the phoenix will soon come. It's coming."
Hamlia is the leader of the largest surviving blackbird settlement in the northern border, and also the boss of Ossie's mother's mother. All northern bluebird species are tall and strong.
When she heard the calls of the slimes, trolls, and snow foxes four and a half years ago, she weighed the pros and cons and decided to take the bluebirds who were willing to leave the Sardinia with her all the way north and return to Cyprus. Ma Xueshan, the hometown of their ancestors.
Hamlia was taken aback for a moment, as if she still didn't understand what they were worried about, but she still asked,
"Then couldn't the phoenix be born directly like this? What would happen if she fell on the root of the world tree?"
"will die."
Daliuwu's answer was straightforward, but it startled Hamlia. She quickly flapped her wings and came to the edge of the platform, looking down at the star that was about to be broken floating in the bright light of the World Tree. the phoenix eggs,
"Her father, how about we just use weapons to catch the Phoenix?"
"No, there is more serious spatial turbulence next to the tree roots, even the peerless magic weapon will be melted, unless"
"Unless what?"
The giant Schwali Barren sitting on the ground behind chewed the pacifier in his mouth and said sullenly,
"Use the sword of the Phoenix King, which now lies in the upper room."
"Then go get it, why are you still standing there?"
All the people present were left speechless by Hamlia. This guy didn't know whether he had been a guard in Sardinia for too long or the blood of the blue bird and the troll had produced a wonderful chemistry in her body. reaction, causing her brain to burn out and become less intelligent
Fighting is good, but every time it comes to discussing this kind of thing, he can always speak amazingly, which is impossible for the leaders of the other six clans.
"You can't pick it up, the weapons of the phoenix can only be fully used by the blood of the phoenix. Even if you go to get it, you have to pay a lot of money to pick it up. If you can't fully control it, you can't take the phoenix from the tree root. Get the eggs out."
"Wait, so you mean, now we need a sword that can only be used by the blood of the phoenix to save the only one with the blood of the phoenix in the world?"
"In theory, of course, if other solutions can be thought of"
"Can your slime's teleport work?"
"With the power of the roots, there is no such possibility."
"."
At this moment, the leaders at the bottom of the sycamore tree fell silent, as if there was no better way.
Hamlia was itchy with anger, flapped her wings impotently and furiously, couldn't help but look at the surrounding sheds, and asked,
".Where's that woman?"
All the leaders looked at her, knowing who Hamlia was talking about, but none of them knew where she had gone.
It was at this moment that the very small snow fox leader Dahl next to Balen's huge body spoke. He glanced up and said,
"She was still here to discuss with us how to save the Phoenix that is about to complete Nirvana, and discussed many methods with us. As for now, she seems to have heard that there are guests coming, and she seems to have thought of something. The nun ran out."
"With Iloise? What guest?"
Dali Wuwu turned his head and was a little curious, but Dali thought for a while and said,
"It seems to be a desperate pirate, a Sardinian woman, what is she called the Ice Queen?"
"Alagina?"
When Hamlia heard this, before Dahl could finish speaking, she opened her mouth and said the name.
"Yes, that's her."
"Heh, this traitorous dog with a broken spine will still be here today. I heard that she not only killed her biological mother, but also stole her mother's Ice Prince sword and wandered outside. Be cautious when taking her in, be careful what She was also stabbed in the back at the time."
Hamlia sneered and commented like this.
"That's enough, Hamlia, you are no longer a woman from Sardinia. In the future, there will only be sycamore trees in the northern border. Of course, I have no objection if you want to go back to serve the country, and I am even willing to send you back for free."
Balion next to him was playing with the pacifier in his hand, and interrupted Hamlia's words without a doubt. Among the six snow mountain clans today, this Slime King is a well-deserved speaker.
After stopping Hamlia, who was quite complaining, Balion scratched his chin with countless wrinkles, and murmured,
"Alagina, I know what that woman is thinking when the Ice Prince Sword said so. The sword of the Phoenix King is too powerful, and it is impossible to completely control it. But the swords of the three sons of the Phoenix are not so powerful. Don’t try it. The Moon Princess Sword fell asleep with Valentina, and the Frost Prince Sword has disappeared. Now that Alagina has the Ice Prince Sword, maybe she can try it.”
Dali Wuwu also looked seriously at the crumbling phoenix egg below, and turned around and said,
"We can only try this way, we have to hurry, Valentina is about to break her shell, I can't wait any longer, let them come over immediately!"
Valentina's consciousness has always been in the dark, as if it was as vague as when the chaos came out, but sometimes she would become a little awake, flickering a terrible dream.
She seemed to see a huge, golden illusory giant tree, suspended in the universe, looking down on all the creatures below like a god, but when she looked at "self" and "the two people beside me", For some reason, Valentina felt a different emotion
This tree. It seems that the mother looks at "myself" warmly like a mother.
"Peach"
Her gentle voice seems to be comforting the baby in the swaddle, and it seems to be an entrustment with high hopes,
"Protect your brothers and sisters well."
Peach?
who is peach
Have you ever heard of this name before?
Immediately afterwards, the scene in front of me suddenly changed, "I" seemed to have seen a terrifying war, as if I saw a chaotic life descending from the sky, "it" sang a poem formed by some language, turning flesh and blood into part of this poem.
It infected everything, brought a vibrant continent to disaster, turned countless, unimaginably powerful lives into Valentina's puppets, and took away "own" mother.
Mother?
Valentina froze for a moment, but her consciousness suddenly became much clearer.
No. This doesn't seem to be what I should see. This is not me. Whose memory is this?
这 是
"Tao must protect your younger brothers and sisters."
Valentina's perspective was pulled away little by little, and finally, Valentina's consciousness seemed to be finally separated from an "existence" at this moment. No, it should be that "existence" that was separated from her body. right!
Valentina felt that the consciousness of that existence was being cut off by a sharp sword like a tree root wrapped around her body, and that existence was getting further and further away from her.
As the distance stretched, Valentina finally saw the real body of that "existence", although it was only a back view.
It turned out to be a weird little girl.
She has a head of black soft and shiny hair, tied neatly on her head, and transformed into a flying fairy bun that Valentina has never seen before. On the flying fairy bun, it is neatly tied or There is a pink and tender peach blossom.
She was wearing a pale pink skirt, which was exactly the same color as the flowers on her hair bun. It looked very pretty, making her petite body even more lovely and elegant.
But at this moment, she was hugging her knee pitifully, curled up into a ball, her expression seemed a little dazed and helpless, and she let herself get further and further away from herself.
Along with this process of staying away, Valentina soon discovered that there were many frost-covered wounds on her skirt out of thin air, as if there were some sharp knives cutting her body around.
The scarlet blood splashed down from her body, fell into the darkness and quickly disappeared, leaving only a faint fragrance of peach blossoms.
The little girl turned a deaf ear, as if she couldn't feel anything, she just hugged her knees in despair and remained motionless.
Valentina felt distressed when she saw it, perhaps the kindness in her heart couldn't bear her seeing such a child hurt, her consciousness became more and more clear, and she couldn't help reminding the other party,
"You have wounds on your body, child."
The moment Valentina opened her mouth, both sides of her cheeks swished, and tremblingly raised a pair of slender, white and tender ears, on which were hung many tiny earrings that made a "jingling" sound. Rentina was taken aback.
Unexpectedly, the little girl glanced at Valentina next to her, then retracted to her original posture, mumbling along the way,
"Don't meddle in your own business, bastard."
"."
Valentina's face turned dark, and she was blocked by the little girl's words.
She clenched her fists, wanting to smash this impolite little kid, but soon, she seemed to feel the despair and sadness hidden deep in the other's words.
She didn't understand why the child in front of her was so sad, even though she was still so young.
But there are more and more wounds on the little girl in front of her. The scarlet and scented blood brought Valentina back to her senses. She said worriedly,
"What's wrong with you, you shouldn't just be hacked to death in front of me, right?"
And without looking at her, the little girl said,
"Anyway, everyone is going to die, and it's okay for me to die now. Only a bastard like you can feel the passing of life."
"Ha, what is this saying, isn't the passing of life worth feeling?"
The girl in front of her was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, as if she recalled something that made her sad again, she didn't refute, but her voice became lower,
"You're right, bastard."
"You little brat"
Valentina was upset at first, she felt as if she had been unconscious all the time, and she didn't know where she was. She just woke up just now, but just after waking up, she met this ignorant little kid.
She stood up, gritted her teeth, and tried to grab the long ears of the little kid in front of her, but she didn't expect the kid in front of her to be so fast that she appeared not far away in an instant, and she caught him empty.
The child glanced at her contemptuously, and then muttered,
"What trash fish?"
Valentina's face was dark, and she was so angry that she rushed towards her again in an instant, but every time she wanted to get close to the other party, she always went to another place, so that she could never touch her.
Like being walked by this guy, Valentina gets more and more angry
But the next moment, her chasing action stopped suddenly, and even the anger disappeared.
Because she suddenly realized that she could stand up.
"I"
She lowered her head and looked under herself, seeing that under her white and naked body, a pair of intact legs were standing powerfully in the darkness.
"I can stand up now."
Valentina stopped chasing the girl in front of her, but turned around and looked at the girl in a daze, watching the blood on her body getting more and more, gradually covering the skirt completely, and her But still don't care.
Valentina hesitated for a moment, and asked involuntarily,
"What's wrong with your body, why is it bleeding all the time?"
The little girl no longer had a bad mouth, but instead lay in the darkness, looking like she was waiting to die, and replied listlessly,
"Someone is hacking the place where my consciousness is stored with the sacred object of the group of angels. This sacred object is of very good quality. It should be hammered by the angel of his wisdom under Michael's seat. [Yu Feile], it should be her gone."
Valentina couldn't understand the names she was saying at all, she just pursed her lips, walked slowly to the little girl, and said,
"Then how can I help you? I can't go on like this forever, can I?"
"So what if it keeps going on, it's just a death. Anyway... we're all going to die."
"What's this called? Is it because I'm going to die so I can't live? My legs were paralyzed before, and I never thought about it when I was only 20 years old. You are still so young, why are you so frustrated if you don't work hard? "
Hearing the word "young", the little girl in front of her had a sneer on her face, she just closed her eyes and murmured,
"...You don't understand, my mother, my brothers and sisters, everyone I care about is dead. Now in this world, my race is only me, and my existence is meaningless."
"My race. Only me is left, and I haven't seen them yet, I have seen them, even after they died."
Valentina squatted beside the little girl in front of her, and the muddy memory in her mind became clearer, and she instantly recalled what seemed to be not long ago.
She thought of the Turan family, of the sycamore tree, of the curse, of Princess Moon and the Phoenixes who sacrificed for this world, and of Fisher.
"They are blood relatives I have never met. They put the future of the race on me. I don't know if I alone can do it, but they believe in me. I think I should also believe in myself, even if only I alone cannot live up to their expectations."
The little girl in front of her opened her eyes, and she didn't know what she thought or saw amidst the scarlet color on her body.
She just suddenly turned her head to look at Valentina beside her, and said with a smile,
"I forgot, you are a phoenix."
"Phoenix. Yes. I am the last Phoenix."
It was at the moment when Valentina's idea burst out, her body seemed to undergo an earth-shaking change.
Blue feathers covered with frost slowly covered part of her body. Behind her, a pair of huge and powerful wings were gradually spreading out, as if bringing the wind and snow from the entire northern region.
Her figure is getting higher little by little, and she is no longer as fragile as before
The light of Zhenbing bloomed in her eyes, bringing a little light of fate.
The little girl in front of her stared at the phoenix that remained in the whole world. After a long time, she suddenly sat up, and as a wonderful force bloomed on her body, the wound on her body instantly returned to its previous perfect appearance.
she asked,
"Miscellaneous fish Phoenix, what's your name?"
"Miscellaneous fish, you brat, if you want to introduce yourself, introduce yourself!"
Valentina stretched out her pink fist and knocked the little girl's head. This time she didn't hide, but let the fist lightly land on her head, as if to knock her out of the darkness. like waking up.
"My name is Valentina."
"Valentina."
She chewed on the name, then stood up, approached Valentina suddenly, and said to her,
"I am Tao, one of the three sons of the elves. Tao Gong."
The next moment, a terrifying brilliance suddenly burst out from the entire darkness, as if it was exploded by that peach blossom, thus exuding sobriety.
Under the urging of that bright light, Valentina opened her eyes suddenly, as if everything she saw before opening her eyes was an illusion.
What reappeared in front of my eyes were bright lights in a room and broken eggshells?
She curled up inside the eggshell, in a daze, opened the eyes of her brand-new body for the first time, and looked at everything on the ceiling, but she seemed so uncomfortable
"Great, miss, you finally woke up, that's great"
"Miss"
this voice
so familiar.
Valentina turned her head in a daze to look outside the broken eggshell, but she saw that the only person in the quiet room who spoke was looking at her worriedly.
The man's black hair was elegantly tied on his head and wrapped in a gem-wrapped hair crown, showing an appearance that Valentina had seen countless times.
Looking at the crown of hair and the appearance of the person in front of her, countless memories instantly filled in place. She blinked her eyes, but was surprised to find that a little bit of beautiful snowflakes fell out of thin air on her eyelashes because of this action.
Have you become a phoenix?
But she didn't have time to explore her current appearance, she looked at the woman in front of her who was looking at her very worriedly, she couldn't help showing a little smile, and murmured,
"Great, Heidi Lin, as long as you are fine."
The bright candlelight illuminated the appearance of the woman outside the eggshell. Her worried expression froze for a moment when she heard Valentina's words inside the eggshell, and then her eyes turned red as if she was about to shed tears. ,
"It's me, Miss. It's me, Heidi Lin, it's great, you finally woke up."
The phoenix in the north finally woke up at this moment.
Please vote, tip and support, it means a lot to me!
