Longcrest Snow Mountain, deep inside the gate.

After walking through the deep corridor and pushing aside a layer of ice mist, Ningzhe and Albedo arrived at a hall made of ice.

From the outside, this hall looks like a building left over from a developed civilization... But if you take a closer look, you can clearly find that the color of these ice cubes is relatively new.

In other words, the hall here has definitely not existed for a long time, at least it will not be something left over from the time of [Shar Fendenir].

The surrounding ice blocks were recently cast, and the two of them were probably the first visitors.

Walking to the center of the hall, Ningzhe's mental power also sent feedback - this is an ordinary ice sculpture, there is nothing hidden in it, it's just that the person who carved it is very good at craftsmanship, making this hall almost

It is "alive".

Since there are no clues to be found from the ice cubes themselves, we can only guess from the elements contained in their appearance...

"Albedo, what impression do you have of these buildings?"

Thoughts flashed through his mind, Ningzhe spoke slowly. He felt that these buildings made of withered ice looked familiar, but he couldn't remember what they were.

"Impression... Well, I do have a guess about these buildings."

Abedo held his chin with his hand and kept thinking. After hearing Ningzhe's question, he pondered for a moment and then said: "This building complex generally looks like a hall... but this hall is like

A condensed small country with almost everything in it.”

Having said this, Abedo pointed to a building that resembled a miniature palace directly in front of him.

"...For example, this palace is located in the most conspicuous position in the entire hall, and its forging technology is also the most exquisite."

Then, Albedo pointed to the other side, and following his gaze, he could clearly spot a building similar to a church.

"And here, compared to the attributes represented by the palace, there are buildings similar to churches on the other side. And around it, there are various livelihood buildings, hospitals, restaurants, blacksmith shops, etc... It can be said that everything is available

.”

After finishing speaking, Albedo turned his head and looked at Ningzhe, his expression becoming serious: "I think what is shown here is the destroyed Snow Country [Shar Fendenir]."

This Snow Country is also a **** country. The fact that the daughter of the priest can control the people's voice and the highest decision-making power after the chaos has already explained a lot of problems.

"Well, I have such a conjecture too."

Ningzhe affirmed Albedo's words, but he soon changed the subject and said: "But since what is shown here is [Char Fendenir], then there is one crucial thing missing.

.”

"Something vital?"

Abedo was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought for a moment, then he raised his head and looked at Ningzhe.

"That's right, the [White Tree] that has protected the Snow Country for hundreds of years...is gone."

When he said this, Ningzhe's eyes turned to the "church" building, and his expression became serious.

White tree......

If the person who built these buildings knew the history of the Snow Country, then it was impossible for him not to know the importance of the [White Tree] to the Snow Country... and it was impossible to bypass it.

Without this white tree, it would be impossible for this country to develop. They would have been destroyed by war, ice and snow from the very beginning...

"Do you still remember the specific location of the [White Tree] in the Snow Country?"

After a moment of silence, Abedo suddenly spoke.

"Exact location?"

Ningzhe was stunned for a moment, then he looked at the church and said softly: "According to ancient records, the people of [Sal Fendenier] built the church here in order to express their gratitude to this white tree.

Beside the tree so that it can be worshiped at all times."

"Unfortunately, when the spike struck, it not only penetrated the white tree, but also destroyed the church built by the people."

Ningzhe sighed when he mentioned this period of history.

"Is that so...I understand."

Nodding slightly to Ningzhe, Abedo then walked to the miniature church and took out the blue plant he had taken down from the corridor earlier.

The blue plant lay quietly in Albedo's hand. It seemed that it had guessed what would happen next and remained motionless.

In front of this church, Albedo gently closed his eyes. At the same time, some kind of golden power gradually formed around him.

"Is this...the power of ley lines?"

The moment he saw this power, Ningzhe frowned subconsciously.

The last time he saw this power, there was a big chaos, and now he has a bit of PTSD about the power of ley lines.

But...the user was Albedo, so he felt relieved.

"..."

Abedo stretched out a hand, and the blue plant twisted gently in his hand.

"This is..."

Abedo gradually opened his eyes, and the power of the earth's veins surrounding him suddenly poured into his hands.

"...the moment of birth."

The next second, the golden light brought by the power of the earth's veins shone even more dazzlingly, shrouding the entire hall in light.

However, this dazzling light was fleeting and soon disappeared without a trace.

but...

When Ningzhe opened his eyes and looked at the church again, there was a young white branch around it.

Weak...but standing so tall and tall next to the church.

Just like the humans who lived under the white trees in the past, they also lived in this world in such a humble way.

But now...it seems to have changed. The white tree has become smaller than the church, and it can no longer protect humans from wind and rain.

"..."

Seeing such a scene, Ningzhe's heart was naturally full of thoughts.

To this day, he has already guessed who built this hall.

And because of this, he felt that the feeling in his heart was very strange. Even though everything had nothing to do with him, his beating heart was still touched.

"...I see."

In front of the church, Albedo, who had been silent since just now, suddenly sighed, and his expression became a little complicated.

The information they got from the ring accessories was correct, and the person who left the message "I did not die with the abandoned city"... was actually Bai Shu.

It was indeed invaded by the blood of the demon dragon Dulin, but its protective feelings for the people of the Snow Kingdom overwhelmed the demon dragon's crazy obsession, so much so that it was willing to give up its own body, leaving only this little

The remnants...stay here alone.

The ice cube is brand new because it uses its limited power to protect everything here every day.

In its heart, the long nail fell from the blue sky, not only destroying its body, but also destroying everything it cherished and loved...

And after that, it can only choose to stay here alone, guarding everything in the past.

How great...and sad...

"...it seems like we've reached the end here, so is this what the gate is hiding?"

After coming back to his senses, Abedo returned to his normal expression. He turned to look at Ningzhe and said.

"It shouldn't be that simple."

Hearing this, Ningzhe's thoughts were brought back. He stretched out his hand and summoned [Hunyuan].

Holding the gray brush in his hand, he gently wrote the word "show", and then, a golden light appeared on the ice behind the palace.

"There is something underneath, but it seems to be sealed by the white tree... But I can bypass this seal and get in without destroying it."

After carefully feeling the golden light, Ningzhe slowly spoke.

"We've come this far, why not go down and have a look."

Even without looking at Ningzhe's expression, Abedo knew that this guy wanted to go down and have a look.

"good."

Ningzhe was very satisfied with Abedo's answer, and then he raised the [Hunyuan] and walked towards the back of the palace.
