When the star rune card in Bai Huo's hand was lit up, the ice fortress hidden in the gap between time and space revealed its true face to everyone.Large swaths of ice that looked like blades suddenly appeared on the originally empty ice field, and the layers of ice barriers rose on both sides of the road like the fangs of wild beasts, and phantoms like aurora and mirages appeared in the dark night sky in the distance, and those translucent phantoms quickly solidified under the starlight, and in an instant they became towering walls and pointed towers.As Hao Ren drove forward, the surrounding light and shadow were also changing rapidly, and the original Arctic ice field scene alternated with the hidden ice fortress, making it almost impossible to distinguish what was real and what was unreal.And when all this finally settled, the crowd had arrived at the gates of a majestic city, and the Witcher's "Millennium Palace" welcomed visitors with its incredible magnificence.True to the name of the fortress, the Ice Fortress is a castle of ice and snow that towers in the far north, and the word "ice" is not only derived from the ice of the Arctic, but also from the building materials of the castle.Everyone was stunned to find that this was a real "ice city": huge ice walls almost like mountain cliffs stood in front of them, completely frozen with the ground beneath their feet, countless narrow windows and ice blades extending downward as if carved on the ice rocks, layers of battlements and arrow towers stood at the top of the fortress, like strange beasts dormant in the darkness of the polar night, and between these structures, you can see countless prismatic spires with rough lines and strange beauty, Like a lighthouse on a fortress, it shines with magic in the night sky.And all of this, the material is ice, or at least it looks a lot like ice.But the whole fortress didn't seem crystal clear, much less fragile: there was clearly something else added to all the ice, and the thick walls of ice were full of white or black, clouds of smoke that were tumbling and circling, completely opaque, and Hao Ren guessed that this was the result of enchantment.Built thousands of years ago during the Ragnarok era, the Ice Castle is unlike any other human structure on Earth, but it doesn't need any style to add to its majesty.Hao Ren couldn't help but look closely at the fortress, and finally saw something familiar in the towers, magical-style arrow towers, and intricate city wall structure, and he was surprised to find that this thing was somewhat similar to some of the ancient buildings in the royal capital of Halletta.The Witchers are the "ultimate beings" created by the Magical Emperors of Halletta using the blood of the source, and although they did not have time to produce their own culture, they have inherited the essence of the knowledge of the Magic Empire of Halletta, and now this inheritance is finally showing its remaining clues: the city in front of them."
How?"
Bai Huo was visibly relieved to see her familiar home, and the burden that had been weighing on her shoulders for days seemed to be a little lighter, and she opened her hand proudly, "Many people who see the Ice Fortress for the first time will be stunned, its grandeur is unique in the world, and it is said that even most of the temples of the Mythological Age cannot match it. ”"I've honestly seen bigger things, but this city is magnificent," Lily flicked her tail, trying to emphasize her knowledge, and looked along the walls with her head tilted......
There's not even a single seam in the whole city!
”"The ice rocks are all fused together, and then sixteen processes of enchantment and reinforcement are carried out to finally merge it with the entire ice field," Bai Huo nodded, "Over the ages, the Arctic ice field has changed a lot, but only the place where this castle stands is imprisoned by magic, and what you are stepping on is the Arctic ice layer thousands of years ago, and there has not been a single millimeter of change. ”Elizabeth sat on Itzhax's shoulder and looked up for a long time, and finally muttered with her cheeks puffed out, "It's not as big as my family." ”The white fire raised the burning rune card in his hand in front of the city gate, and the fire of the rune card was only a little starry in the dark, but with the shining of the rune card, a giant ice sculpture in the shape of a dragon head inlaid on the gate of the ice fortress immediately brightened, accompanied by a "click" sound, and the dragon skull made by the ice cube hung down its head and made a hoarse voice: "Open......
The gate ......"
"Boom-" A loud bang came from behind the gate with the shaking of the earth, and the huge ice wall that seemed to have frozen with the city wall began to rise uncanny, and a low, desolate trumpet sound came from the top of the fortress as the gate opened.Hao Ren looked up at the top of the city wall, and in the darkness, he saw countless figures swaying on the battlements, hundreds of eyes staring at it.Hao Ren took the car back into his pocket and walked towards the fortress under the leadership of Bai Huo.When he walked through the gate, he suddenly asked, "Since this base camp is still there, why did you be embarrassed like that when you broke out?"
”He remembered the situation when Bai Huo suddenly teleported to the southern suburbs, at that time, the situation of this witch girl can be described as dying, it was completely a state of desperate breakthrough from the position that had fallen on all fronts, but now he saw that the ice fortress that was the gate of Colpers was still standing in this place, so how did Bai Huo break through to that appearance at that time?"
Do you know where I broke through?"
Bai Huo smiled.Hao Ren was stunned: "What?"
”"The deepest part of Colpers, where almost all of them have fallen," White Fire sighed, "The gate in front of you is indeed still in our hands, but the Colpers on the other side of the gate is almost entirely the territory of the Presbyterian Order.I was trapped in their encirclement, and the retreat to the Star Tower was cut off, and I originally wanted to retreat to the Ice Fortress to rest for a while, and then go to you through the breath of the blood crystal, but I found that there was no way out, so I opened the spatial door directly from the depths of the Colpers Secret Realm.So the injuries on my body were not caused by the battle, but the result of being crushed by the spatial turbulence - any secret realm is blocked by space.At that time, he was almost crushed to pieces, but fortunately, an amulet from his mentor helped him resist it at the last moment. ”Hao Ren suddenly looked at the witcher girl dumbfounded: "Random teleportation through the space blockade?
How dare you jump!
”He didn't know much about Bai Huo, and after a limited few contacts, his impression of the other party was that he was an immature hunter with great talent, but lacking experience, due to being overprotected by his mentor and other elders, he had no combat power but was not as experienced as Nangong Sanba.However, this immature image was shattered in an instant - she was even more bold and brave than she had imagined, and it took the courage to jump into it against the turbulence of spatial dislocation, which required the same courage as leaping through the whirling meat grinder blades!
Lily listened to Bai Huo talking to Hao Ren, but she crossed her ears and asked a question, "Is this dangerous?"
I think I should dare to jump too. ”Oh, in addition to the bravery of White Fire, there is another kind of person who dares to do this, and that is the lack of heart eyes of Lily's type......
With a strange sense of anticipation and excitement, everyone became the first "alien race" to step into the Demon Hunter Holy Land.After passing through the castle gate, Hao Ren saw that in front of him was a fortress made of ice, and countless magical lights lit up the fortress in the polar night, and heavily armed demon hunters could be seen everywhere in the fortress.However, despite the large number of onlookers, there was no noise at the scene, and the hunters dressed in black just stood quietly at their posts and watched the visitors, their eyes filled with curiosity, vigilance, and a little expectation.Hao Ren had already expected the vigilance in those sights: today must be an unprecedented time for the Ice Fortress and the entire demon hunter community, since the mythological era has always stood at the apex of supernatural creatures, the Demon Hunter Order, which has always stood at the apex of supernatural creatures, not only asked for help, but also asked for reinforcements is still a group of aliens, and now these "demons" who are listed as "heretics" in the canon are standing in the fortress of the Holy Land in such a grand manner, and they have to be received as guests, who would dare to think of this unprecedented thing in the past?
If it weren't for the fact that the innate hostility had fully subsided, if it weren't for the current situation, and if it weren't for the fact that the most stubborn demon hunters were in the Order of the Elders and had become enemies, what happened today would never have happened.An old hunter in a big coat appeared silently as if he had emerged from the darkness, and walked quickly towards the white flames: "Who are they?"
”"Master Ksuzov," Bai Huo bowed slightly, and then explained briefly, "These are the leaders of the reinforcements, the large army is behind, and in an hour they will arrive at the level of the fortress, and someone will need to go over and help them open the astral barrier.And about this army I invited......
Hopefully you'll be reminded that they look a little weird, and probably like the ones from the Age of Mythology......
Some are similar, but they are really on our side. ”The old hunter, known as Master Ksuzov, nodded: "Don't worry, everyone is ready, the situation is like this, old guys like me should be flexible."
And I heard that this matter was instructed by the Sage of Bedolith before he lost control?
”Although Bai Huo did not pass through the Ice Fortress when she broke through, when Hao Ren and his party set foot on the North Pole, she had already contacted the fortress through secret techniques and told everything she knew, so the defenders in the fortress could prepare accordingly and let aliens like Hao Ren and them in."
It is indeed the instructions of the Sage of Bedolis, and it is also the meaning of Elder Hasselblad and Master Tutain," Bai Huo emphasized the latter two, and then turned slightly sideways and pointed at Vivien, "Countess Ansesta is highly respected, even witchers are in awe of her, and she offered to help." ”"Thank you for your help, Your Excellency the Countess," Master Ksuzov's tone sounded very strange, but he still endured the strange atmosphere at the moment and greeted Vivien, "The situation is so embarrassing, it's really ......"
"Forget it, don't be polite to me, you are uncomfortable and I will be uncomfortable," Vivian waved his hand vigorously, "It's all friendship with each other's dog brains, whoever is polite to anyone seems fake, let's talk about the situation at the front." ”Lily muttered aggrievedly beside her, "Just say it, can you not just knock out the dog's brains every once in a while......
The dog has provoked you......"
