The clay bowls at the four corners of the platform danced with blue flames, accompanied by the song-like whispers of Wizard Cana, and the whole square reverberated with a mournful tune, a sound that made people shudder.A faceless mermaid girl kept appearing in my mind, although I couldn't see her face clearly, but the girl's smile seemed so real, from her birth, growth, meeting the first love of her life, and finally dying on a quiet island, now lying in the ice coffin in front of her, like a cold ice rock.The huge ice coffin was parked on the stone platform, the ice coffin looked very thick, and I could vaguely see the vague figure inside through the translucent ice wall, and I could even tell where her head was and where her beautiful fishtail was, and the cyan scales were attached to the ice coffin wall, reflecting a slightly blunt diamond-shaped grid.Ying Li took Helena and Becky to approach the ice coffin, and the strong Cana who was guarding around the stone platform came up silently, they put their strong arms on the coffin lid, and slowly pushed the heavy ice cap open, I instantly felt a large amount of ice elements gushing out of the ice coffin, and the chill in the ice coffin instantly spread to the entire high platform, but it lingered between the four pottery bowls, and there was no trace of ice mist flowing under the high platform.Ying Li stood in front of the ice coffin, she glanced back at me, and then took a deep breath, held her breath, leaned forward, and looked inside.Helena and Becky cautiously stood beside Ying Li, guarding the two strong Cana men in front of the ice coffin.When she first saw Princess Ireliel lying in the ice coffin, it was difficult to describe the expression on her face, or as if she was looking at the makeup on her face in the mirror, she pursed her lips slightly, her eyes widened, looking at Princess Ireliel in the ice coffin, her eyes showed a look of envy, she touched her cheek and asked Grand Wizard Jana, "This is what I look like?"
I'm going to have the beauty of Princess Ireliel soon?
”"That look was yours in the first place, and now Ireliel is just giving it all back to you," Grand Wizard of Jana said to Win Li.I don't know why, there are some fluctuations in my spiritual sea for no reason, the phantom of the Great Wizard of Cana floats on the surface of the sea of spirits, every slightest body movement is constantly slowing down in my mind, I found that when she answered Ying Li's question, the hands hidden in her sleeves trembled slightly, and in these words of the Great Wizard of Cana, I can still hear a kind of earnestness, which is an irrepressible desire hidden in the deepest part of my heart, although she is trying her best to hide her inner thoughts, but I still perceive it.Perhaps because he had found the answer he wanted, Ying Li's face showed a hint of joy.But I didn't know what the Great Wizard of Cana was hiding from the depths of his heart, and I felt a chill down my spine, and I kept telling myself to stay calm.She turned and beckoned to me, and then said to the Grand Wizard of Jana, who was whispering a ballad beside her, "Grand Wizard, I want Jijia to see what I look like, is that okay?"
”"Doing what you want is what you want, and I'm sure Ireliel will respect your decision as well."
The Great Witch of Cana said indistinctly in a hoarse voice."
Jijia, do you want to come and have a look?"
Ying Li turned his head and asked me with a smile.I stood on the edge of the platform and shook my head vigorously.Unlike Noah, I have a hard time having a good impression of these Cana mermaids."
Don't you want to see me as I am?"
Ying Li asked with some surprise.Although I didn't want to laugh at all on this occasion, I still smiled at her and said: "Because it's not you, it's the princess of the Cana Sea Clan lying in the ice coffin, what I like is you now, gentle, brave, and kind" Ying Li was silent for a moment, but still let out a long breath, and her whole body revealed extremely relaxed.Then she took Helena and Becky's hands and said in a rather confident tone: "Yes, you're right, that face is no longer me, not to mention that I have nothing bad about now, and I still have Helena and Becky." ”Ying Li, Helena, and Becky bowed to Princess Ireliel in the ice coffin, which was the etiquette of the Grimm Empire, and it was a kind of consolation to the dead.Then, she came to the presence of the Grand Wizard of Jana, who was still sitting on the high platform, and she was still singing about Princess Ireliel's life, but the trembling in the song became more and more obvious, and I felt that she was trying her best to suppress herself, as if the next moment she would burst out of anger, and her whole body was tense."
That beauty is yours, Ireliel's last wish before his death is to hope that you can regain this beauty of the city, child, don't let down a piece of her heart," said the Grand Wizard of Cana, who opened her eyes like two clusters of incandescent light again, staring at Ying Li and said.Ying Li was so frightened that he took two steps back.Grand Wizard Cana's tone softened a bit, and said to Ying Li, "The Passing on Magic Ceremony and Ireel's funeral will be held the day after tomorrow, and you still have plenty of time to think about this, whether you accept Areliel's last wish or not, thank you for being able to travel thousands of miles from the Grimm Empire to the Abyss City to attend Ireliel's funeral." ”Her electric eyes closed again, and she was on the platform again."
I" Ying Li heard the Grand Wizard of the Cana Clan say this, so he didn't say anything more.Grand Wizard Cana looked at the crystal ball in front of her with a calm face, and when she calmed down, she sat there like a talking stone, and said to Ying Li in a cold tone: "In three days, a Ramas sea beast will arrive in the Abyss City, and then I will arrange for you to return to the Grimm Empire's Haiyin Silk City, before that, you can walk around the Abyss City, I hope you can have an unforgettable trip to the Abyss, Tia, take them out of here." ”She sat on a high platform, and her whole person seemed to be like a cold and cold stone, and that sad but not sad tune wafted around her.I finally learned the name of the slender-waisted mermaid, her name was Tia, and it sounded pretty good.Bypassing the statue of the Angel of Destiny in the underground palace, the coldness that surrounded the body disappeared little by little.Tia, the mermaid, led us to the portal of the Cana Palace, and after showing the seal to the guards of the teleporters, she led us into the portal.A moment later, we walked out of another portal, and as soon as we walked out of the teleportation array, we felt a choking smell of sulfur and magma wafting through the air, the air was filled with a large amount of fire elementals, and a layer of black smoke floated over the entire magic light shield, almost making this magic light mask lose its original transparency.The Garna guards at the portal door are inside two oval bubbles, the bubbles are filled with clear water, the Cana guards are like baby chickens hiding in eggshells, they have two gills hidden in their ears, and the Cana guards in the sea water inside the bubbles are breathing with their gills.The mermaid, Tia, also hated the smell, took out a handkerchief from her bosom, soaked it in water, and covered her mouth and nose with it.The slender-waisted mermaid stopped and said to Ying Li and me, "Prince Hitt has been in the forge hall here lately. ”The area attached to this magic mask was at best the size of a football field, and the entire mask resembled a large blacksmith's workshop.It was like the edge of the Abyss City, and I could only see a lot of faint light on the left side of the reticle, and on the right was an endless black and deep seabed, and I could still make out the occasional large area of slowly swimming near the bottom of the sea, almost transparent, body against the reticle.A river of lava meanders through the center of the mask, the magma on both sides of the lava river is constantly condensed into volcanic rock, but the magma in the center of the lava river is unusually viscous, from time to time a stream of gas gushes out of the lava river, a smelting workshop and a forge are built next to this lava river, just on the other side of the blacksmith's workshop is piled up with weapons such as halberds that Cana warriors are good at.There was a clanging sound in the blacksmith's workshop beneath the portal, and gray smoke was constantly coming out of the workshop's chimney, which was probably why the magic light shield was filled with choking smoke.A group of Cana laborers, carrying bundles of weapons, walked along the stone path of the blacksmith's workshop to the circular arched connecting passage not far away, forming a long line.Tia, the slender mermaid, stopped walking abruptly, untied a water bag from her waist and poured water from the water bag over her head.Ying Li hurriedly said with concern: "Miss Tia, are you feeling a little unwell, you should rest more." ”When the mermaid Tia heard Ying Li say this, she smiled slightly and shook her head and said, "It's okay, I'm just not very used to the environment here, I don't like dry places very much, let's go, I'll take you to see Prince Hit." ”Ying Li followed behind the slender waist mermaid and asked her, "Cousin Hitt likes blacksmithing?"
”The slender-waisted mermaid smiled and tilted her head sideways to Ying Li and said, "Actually, Prince Hitt would be quieter here than he would be elsewhere, and he doesn't hate the smell of sulfur here. ”Her long hair was smooth and straight, hanging down to her waist, and her big eyes always told us something extraordinary.For example, Prince Hitt likes to stay in the brimstone-smelling forge hall to avoid some other troubles, which means that his life in the Abyss City is not very good, and he has no sense of existence, and the Wikiqueen has even forgotten that there is such a person in the Abyssal City.Here, sure enough, it is rare to see those Cana people dressed in gorgeous scales.Aside from the Cana laborers who were carrying the weapons, there were only a few Cana laborers carrying ore on their backs who approached a huge furnace, threw the ore on their backs into the furnace, and sped away from the other side, then returned to the ore pile.Ying Li and I glanced at each other.The mermaid Tia probably saw the worry in Ying Li's eyes, and quickly explained to Ying Li: "Prince Hitt doesn't know how to move ore here, he is one of the few blacksmiths in our Cana clan, and he has excellent forging skills.I can only bring you here, and then some of the secrets of the Cana tribe, please wait here, and I will ask Prince Hitt to come out to meet you. ”With that, the mermaid Tia left us in a shed in the arsenal outside the smithy, and walked alone into the small forging hall.I sat in the workshop and looked around, the scale of the blacksmith's workshop in front of me was a little too small for a huge city of the abyss.Such a blacksmith workshop is not even comparable to the scale of the North Duisburg Blacksmith Workshop, and there are at least a dozen blacksmith shops of this size in the imperial capital of the Grimm Empire.I'm interested in the furnace built by the Cana people because of its clever use of the underground lava river.This is similar to how the dwarves build underground cities with the help of underground ore veins.In an undersea city that is desperately short of fuel, it would be nice to have a blacksmith workshop with the help of an underground river of lava."
Maybe I shouldn't have been willful and traveled all the way here."
As we sat in the shed to rest, Ying Li said to me with some remorse.I turned around, put my arm around Ying Li's shoulder, and said to her, "Actually, it's okay to come and have a look, maybe meeting with Ireliel was originally a hidden wish in your heart, and you just happened to find such an opportunity to come true." ”Ying Li looked up at me, with a complicated look in her eyes, she said: "Actually, I have always had a difficult choice in my heart, I hope to become as beautiful as Qige, but I also enjoy my current life, I am worried that when my appearance changes, this leisurely and pure life will never come back."
Jijia, thank you for finding me among so many people" I leaned over and kissed her on the forehead, and whispered to her, "It was Lady Luck who sent you to me, and I should thank the Goddess." ”Every time she kissed her, she blushed and buried her head in her arms like a quail.I held her heart-pounding face in my hand and said to her, "Besides, this is not what Her Royal Highness is supposed to say, you should be more confident." ”She struggled to put her head in my arms, refusing to lift it again."
Jijia, I want to go back to the imperial capital."
Ying Li said quietly.I looked at Ying Li with a stunned look on my face and asked her, "Not ready to attend Princess Ireliel's funeral?"
”"I don't know," Ying Li said with a deep entanglement.Looking at the pitch-black seabed through the light mask, I didn't expect that on our first day in the Abyss City, Ying Li would be a little homesick
