23. Fate


Leaving the palace of Queen Wiki, led by the slender waist mermaid, we passed through beautiful palaces, from the height of Cana's palace all the way down, through several narrow corridors, and finally entered a rock cave carved out of the cliff face, the stone door at the entrance of the cave was thick and cold, the stone door was covered with green moss and water stains, and a cold air continued to spread from the stone gate.Our group stopped outside the stone gate, and a team of Cana guards was stationed outside the stone gate.These Cana guards are tall warriors in silver armor, and as we approach the stone gate, those Cana guards point at us with halberds in their hands, and if they take one step forward, they will unceremoniously move at us.The mermaid maid next to Queen Wiki swam up and took out the Queen's sigil in front of one of the Garna Guards, and communicated in Cana for a while, at first, the Garna Guard was indifferent, and only later did he show some hesitation.I turned my head to look at Justus behind me, Justus approached me quietly, and whispered in my ear: "Those Cana warriors guarding the door seem to be relying on something, unwilling to obey Queen Wiki's orders, this mermaid lady threatened the Garna guard, telling him that if he didn't let go, he would run directly to King Cana to accuse them" The Garna guard was finally persuaded by the slender-waisted mermaid, he waved his hand at the Garna guards behind him, and the group of Cana guards pushed away to both sides, Keeping the stone gate in front of him out of the way, the two Cana guarded in front of the stone gate and slowly pushed the big stone gate open.An icy aura permeated from the cave, and the slender-waisted mermaid led us directly into the cave.We all carried some warm clothes in our magic fanny packs, so we simply put them on directly at the entrance of the cave, and then followed the thin-waisted mermaid into the cave."

This vein of ice and rock is buried under this cliff, and Princess Ireliel lies in the ice coffin underground."

The slender-waisted mermaid whispered to us."

You speak the imperial Chinese very well."

Ying Li said to the mermaid maid.The mermaid maid was leading the way in front, and after hearing Ying Li's praise, she looked very happy, she covered her face with her hands a little shyly and said, "Ah!

Are you sure?

There are not many people in the palace who can speak the Chinese language of the Green Emperor, and I don't know whether these pronunciations are accurate or not" In fact, I have not paid attention to whether her imperial Chinese is standard or not, and my eyes always fall on her slender waist unconsciously.The first thing I felt when I entered the cave was that it was very cold, and I subconsciously reached out and tightened the neckline of my magic robe.I found that the walls of the cave were covered with some ice rocks, and I reached out and rubbed on the ice rocks, trying not to take advantage of people's attention and secretly knock them off and put them in my magic pocket.When I attended the Water Magician Salon in the Imperial Capital, I had the good fortune to see Ice Rock, which is a very rare ice attribute ore in the world, this kind of stone itself can emit cold air, because it is buried deep underground, and it is a very rare rock in the Grimm Empire.Only ice mages know about its existence, and its only function is to make water freeze.If this kind of ice rock is not used properly, the cold air in the ice rock can easily evaporate, and then this ice rock will become the most common limestone, and only some ice mages will use ice rock to make some magic tools in order to get more ice magic elements when meditating.However, this thing is of no use to me, and I have already risen through the ranks, and I haven't considered these magical artifacts to assist meditation for the time being.If it weren't for Scholar Sean reminding me to keep an eye out for this ice rock, I would have even thought of the fist-sized ice rock in the ice magician's hand as an ordinary rock.Upon entering the cave, a thin layer of hoarfrost condensed on the stone walls near the entrance.At first glance, I thought they were ice walls, but when I touched them with my hands, I felt the stony touch, and a chill emanated from the ice walls, and then I realized that they were actually ice rocks.Standing in the cave, I felt the pores of my whole body stand up, and the cold breath here made me feel like winter in the northern province.The rock face is inlaid with some magic sconces made of moonstone, which cast a cool glow in the cavern.We are in the cave, when we breathe, a cloud of white water vapor condenses at the side of our mouth, and we walk down a few hundred meters along the cave, an underground palace made of ice and rock comes into our eyes, at the entrance of this underground palace there is a huge ice rock statue, an archangel stands on the top of a huge round stone pillar, this archangel's face is hidden in his hood, he has six snow-white wings behind him, the top pair of wings is about to spread its wings and fly, the bottom pair of wings is still in a state of retraction, This archangel is not wearing a golden armor robe, but a priest's robe, holding a magic scroll in his hand, I don't know how the statue of the Archangel of Destiny Yseriel appeared in the complex beneath Cana, but his signature hood and the time and fate scroll Talusal in his hand, as well as the elusive, cold as ice demeanor on his body were vividly portrayed by the master carver.The vault of this underground palace is made of crystal stone, so the palace does not have many magic wall lights, but it still appears to be full of glow.The mermaid maid took us around the statue of the archangel in front of us, and came to the front of a high platform in a square, but I didn't expect some Cana attendants to stand around the high platform, and when those attendants saw the mermaid maid, they all bowed down respectfully, it seems that this slender waist mermaid has a high status here, she doesn't even need to say anything, she took us straight up the steps of the high platform.At this moment, I suddenly had a feeling in my heart, as if something was waiting for us on the high platform, and I couldn't tell whether that feeling was good or bad, like an unpredictable fate.I looked at Ying Li, who was also looking up at the high platform with a focused face, and slowly walked up the stone steps.I walked up with her, and when I held her hand, I felt her hand cold.When we walked to the top of the high platform, we found that the high platform was like a pyramid with a flattened top, with steps on all sides, and the steps became narrower and narrower as we reached the top.After ascending the high platform, the first thing that catches your eye is the huge ice bed placed in the center of the high platform, a square ice coffin is placed on the ice bed, probably the mermaid princess Ireliel is lying in the ice coffin, after standing on the high platform, we did not go any further.On the platform in front of her sat a great wizard of the Cana clan, and at her feet was a magic circle that looked at all directions like a spider's web, and she was sitting in the center of the circle, and in front of her was a human skull, the pale skull was covered with cracks, and the center of the eyebrows on the forehead of the skull was inlaid with a soul gem the size of a middle fingernail, and the top of the skull was inlaid with a crystal ball the size of a fist.The Grand Wizard of Cana was gently stroking the crystal ball with his hand, and it looked like he was muttering to himself.A staff of root-like correction was stuck on the platform, and the Grand Wizard of Cana looked unusually old from his back.The four corners of the ice coffin are placed with four pottery bowl-like utensils, and the open bowl is burning with a dark blue soul flame, which is said to be injected into the soul of a person after death, so that the soul after death becomes stronger, so that it will not become a meal for those undead creatures after entering the underworld.The four corners of the high platform are guarded by Cana warriors, these Cana warriors are covered with cyan stripes, and the weapons in their hands are also very unique, namely flails, scimitars, giant hammers, and tower shields, until Karantso stood quietly behind me and Ying Li, I realized that these Cana warriors are not as simple as they seem on the surface, and the Cana warriors who can make Karantso vigilant are at least above the second turn of the strong.The slender-waisted mermaid stepped forward gently, she didn't even dare to disturb the Grand Wizard of Cana, she just stood by cautiously and waited quietly.It was a long time before the Grand Wizard of Cana removed his hand from the crystal ball in his skull.I could clearly see that the crack in the skull had increased, but at this time, the Grand Wizard of Cana finally seemed to realize that there was someone around her, she turned her head to look at the slender waist mermaid, and then rolled up the magic scroll that was spread in front of her, the scroll seemed to be made of flattened seaweed, but as she rolled up the scroll little by little, the spider web-like magic pattern circle on the platform was also like an octopus tentacle, constantly swinging and slowly entering the scroll.These magic prohibitions on the platform were revoked little by little, and the Grand Wizard of Cana slowly stood up from the ground at this time.She was arguably the shortest and oldest Cana woman I had ever seen, wearing a robe sewn from the skin of an unknown sea animal, hunched over, with a magic wand in her hand, and her face was full of wrinkles, and I couldn't even see her features clearly, or maybe her features themselves were blurred, she turned around and waved at the mermaid maid, who hurriedly saluted and retreated.Grand Wizard Cana turned to stare at Ying Li, and then she suddenly opened her eyes that narrowed into a thin slit, those eyes were like electric balls filled with thunder elements, and the whole eyeball became so dazzling that we couldn't even look at her, and Ying Li was even more frightened and took a step back.After a while, the Grand Wizard of Cana returned to his original form, and his whole person looked more erratic, as if he might fall at any moment.Just listen to this Grand Wizard of Cana say to Ying Li: "Child, I have seen you, it seems that it is really not a bad thing for you to lose your beautiful face, I can see that your fate line is intertwined with his fate line, fate is really elusive" Hearing this Grand Wizard of Cana speak fluent Grimm Chinese, I even have the illusion that every Cana person can speak Imperial dialect.After speaking, the Grand Wizard of Cana waved his hand to Ying Li again, as if beckoning her to go to the ice coffin, Ying Li took a step forward, and I followed closely behind, but found that I couldn't step out no matter what."

You can come and see Arelil first, see what you look like, and if you still insist on letting him come after seeing Ireliel, I'll let him come over."

The voice of the Grand Wizard of Cana was indescribably demonic, full of temptation: "You must know that this may give him a preconceived impression that this woman is the mermaid princess Ireliel, and perhaps you can let him wait until the transfer of magic is completed, and then enjoy your stunning beauty." ”"I just want to know what I would be like if it hadn't happened ten years ago."

Ying Li was not tempted by the voice of the Grand Wizard of Jana, she spread her hands and said frankly to the Grand Wizard of Cana, "Actually, to be honest, I am not ready to accept the ritual of transferring magic!"

”"You're not going to take your beauty back?"

Grand Wizard of Cana looked as surprised as Queen Wicked."

I don't think there's anything wrong with the way it looks now!"

After speaking, Ying Li turned his head to look at me, his eyes were full of happiness.Grand Wizard Jana's voice was a little dry: "You come over and look at her, maybe just one glance will change your mind." ”Ying Li took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say to the Grand Wizard of Cana, "Okay" When Ying Li and I left in front of the ice coffin on the high platform, we could still hear the Grand Wizard of Cana sitting in front of the ice coffin, and kept muttering some words in his mouth: "Ten years ago, I advised you not to accept this peerless appearance, forcibly seize what does not belong to you, and at the same time make you lose something. ”"You feel that you are the darling of the sea, favored by the god of fate, so you accepted that beautiful face, and at the same time put down the war between the Endless Sea Cana and the Grimm Empire, I remember that on the day of the armistice, you happily ran to me and told me: The years of war of the Cana have finally subsided, and these can rest and recuperate.""

Six years ago, I advised you not to give up the throne to your brother, no matter how close he is to you, no matter how much he loves you, reveres you, trusts you, power is like a chronic poison, it can corrode a person's heart from the inside out.""

You think that your brother is the most obedient and sensible brother in the world, so with a wave of your long sleeves, you easily gave him the throne of the King of the Endless Sea of Megana, and on the day he ascended the throne, you excitedly told me: You can finally put down the heavy responsibility on your shoulders, and you can take the Crown of Silence to challenge the powerful places that lurk in the Endless Sea.At that time, every time you came back from an injury, you would bring back a whole body of glory. ”"Three years ago, I advised you not to marry the Seven Realms Sea, no matter how the Lord of the Seven Seas admires you, no matter how he pours for you, this relationship will not last long, Cana men are a group of people who are glamorous on the surface, but in fact, they are rotten in their hearts, shameless, and extremely ugly in their hearts, there is no eternal love in this world, only a strong party can be qualified to talk about feelings.""

You think you are a powerful party, with the backing of tens of millions of Cana people from the Endless Sea behind you, and the person from the Seventh Sea is even willing to challenge Azmodan at the bottom of the abyss for you, which is enough to prove how fierce his feelings are for you, on the day of your wedding, you came to me and said to me with confidence, it won't be long before there will be no more Endless Sea and Seven Seas!"
