Chapter 3336 Ice and Snow Castle
Unicorn Ellie also knew about the plan to set out today to find her "home". She wanted to return to her home more than anyone else.
Therefore, when it saw Emilia and Shade appear, it cried out excitedly, and the light emitted by the horn on its head was clearly visible even in the midday sunlight, which was one of the evidences that its body had recovered quite well.
Among the five elders, Elder Harald, Elder Wilda, and Elder Thorin all came to see them off. Elder Harald seemed quite worried about this operation and kept telling Shade to take good care of his granddaughter.
"Grandfather, do I need to remind you that I am the one with a higher level. And the last time I dueled with him, I won."
The witch had to emphasize this, but the old man still thought that Shade was the stronger one. He stood at the entrance of the town, waving his hands and watching the group of people walking further and further up the mountain, and finally couldn't help but sigh:
“I really don’t know how much trouble is waiting for them in the future.”
Leaving the nest where they had lived for half a week and returning to the wild, the unicorn jumped and looked quite energetic. It could carry Miss Larson, who could not fly, and the group quickly circled from the bottom of the snowy mountain to the place where Shade encountered the unicorn last week. After a little preparation, the witch released the first signal according to the agreement with the church.
Then the impatient unicorn took them all the way to the southern coastline, but before walking out of the cedar forest at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, it suddenly turned back to the north.
It seemed to be leading a group of people wandering around in the cedar forest. Fortunately, Emilia could do "Unicorn translation":
"Ellie said the way back kept changing, so she had to look for it too, but she'll find it soon. She's lived alone these years and has spent a lot of time researching how to get back safely and how to escape quickly. Poor child, that demon is so bad."
The group wandered around the foot of the mountain for more than half an hour before finally entering the snowy mountain area again. This time, they did not repeat the same route at the foot of the mountain. It led them through the mountain entrance, flew up the towering cliffs, climbed the dangerous snow slopes, and finally arrived in front of a rock wall in a remote area at the foot of the mountain.
Together, Shad and Miss Reinhardt released flames to melt the thick snow on the rock wall, but the rock wall was ordinary and even Shad's "powerful spatial perception" could not find any abnormalities.
"Ally said to let everyone wait a moment. It will take another five minutes. Oh, it was four minutes."
The waiting time was not long. After the countdown ended, the unicorn, which was staring at the rock wall in front of it with its blue eyes, suddenly rushed forward. The glowing golden horn touched the cliff wall, and with the sound of broken glass, the rock wall in front of it was actually knocked out by it to form a black cave entrance.
"The horn of a unicorn has the ability to penetrate space. It is like a cave on a snowy mountain that may suddenly appear at any time!"
Xia De suddenly understood. The elders said that the part of Fatumonster Snow Mountain that can be observed by people actually only accounts for a small part of the total volume, and the "ice and snow castle" is obviously hidden in the part that cannot be observed at present.
This is not a hidden space like "Green Island", but a pure "unobservable" space. In fact, it is still a part of the material world. And this inexplicable cave on the snowy mountain seems to be a channel connecting the "observable" and the "unobservable". Shade somehow associated it with the "infinite loop".
"How long can this passage last? Will the subsequent church teams still have time to enter?"
Shade asked the unicorn, who was eager to go home and immediately raised his head. Emilia, who had earmuffs covering her pointed ears and a leaf-green scarf tied around her neck, immediately translated:
"This place was pierced by Ellie's horn in advance, so it can last for quite a long time, at least half an hour."
"So if this place disappears, how are we supposed to get back?"
Miss Reinhart also asked, and Emilia translated again:
"Aili said that no matter where you are in the snowy mountains, as long as you walk towards the foot of the mountain, you will definitely be able to leave the snowy mountains.
To enter different parts of the snow mountain, you need to go through this cave, and if you want to leave, you just need to go down the mountain no matter where you are. "
Shade's "Strong Spatial Perception" could detect that the cave led deep into the mountain, but he couldn't "see" what was on the other side of the cave. But since the unicorn confirmed that this was the way to "go home", the group left a mark at the entrance of the cave and walked in together.
The cave is very wide and the inner surface is relatively smooth. According to Xia De's guess, it does look like a cave that a giant snake had drilled out of.
The unicorn walked in the middle, side by side with Emilia and Miss Larson, while the others protected them in front and behind. Of course, there was no light source inside the cave. After Shad called out the cold moonlight to illuminate the surroundings, he could not see any traces of snake scales or the like on the surrounding rock walls.
Emilia was walking and tripped over a stone on the ground. She saw that the stone was in the shape of snake scales. This was the "snake scale stone" that Mr. Sargent, the potion merchant, gave to Shade yesterday. But Shade didn't need it now. If he wanted to mix ink, he needed the "tear gland fern" and the "philosopher's stone".
After walking in the cave for about ten minutes, a light appeared in front of us, and then, as if in the next second, we walked out of the cave.
The cold wind mixed with snowflakes blew towards us. The Fatumunster Snow Mountain, which was sunny before entering the cave, was now snowing.
Standing at the entrance of the cave and looking around, the surrounding scenery was quite normal snow-capped mountains. Shade's "Strong Spatial Perception" allowed him to determine that they were somewhere on the eastern foot of the snow-capped mountains at the moment, and Miss Reinhardt, who was very familiar with the local area, was surprised that she had never been here before.
There was no trace of the demonic power for the time being, and the unicorn Ellie was so happy that she seemed to be jumping for joy, as she was sure that she had found the right way home.
Because it was too excited, Emilia had to calm it down:
"We must be more cautious now, otherwise we will be beaten away by that damn demon again."
The next step was to move towards the top of the snow-capped mountain. Although it seemed that there was no road, the unicorn could always find a route that could be climbed with either four hooves or two feet.
Twenty minutes later, it led the group down the snow slope, and then slid down another steep snow slope like skiing. After bypassing a large ice wall and passing through the forest belt on the side of the hillside, the group finally entered a canyon terrain between the mountains.
The entrance to the canyon was quite narrow, but it became wider as they went deeper. The road was not straight, so they could not see what was at the end of the canyon as they walked forward in the chilly wind. But when they finally entered the open area inside the canyon, everyone looked ahead in surprise.
The sky of the canyon is covered with a translucent blue ice sheet, and dreamy light shines through the ice sheet into the canyon, where a space as big as more than ten football fields suddenly opens up.
The ice that has not melted for millions of years has interwoven into a net-like structure above the head, and the dark blue sky light even rhythmically moves with the frequency of breathing.
And under the ice cap, in the deepest part of the canyon, a huge ice crystal palace and seven surrounding spires rise from the ground.
This is not a single building but a group of buildings. The flying eaves and brackets carved with ice crystals are draped with crystal-like curtains, and each ice ridge is flowing with colorful halos. In front of the castle is a towering staircase and the tower that the old ranger once mentioned, and the highest point of the castle is 60 meters above the ground.
Strange ancient runes appeared on the surface of every piece of ice that made up the building complex under the sunlight. This magnificent ice castle was definitely not inferior to any great building that everyone present had ever seen.
The unicorn cried excitedly but a little scared. Emilia smiled and thought that she would show off this experience to Ajelina when she returned. Shade frowned and held the "Witch Detection Badge" hanging around his neck. After entering this area, the badge suddenly lost all its temperature for some reason.
The Great Witch of the Sun, the Witch Apprentice and the Witch Followers around him were all real, so the badge should definitely not be cold at this time. But he looked at the ice castle in front of him, and suddenly realized that the ancient witches must have a way to counter this detection method.
If this really is the castle where a demigod witch like Chloe once lived, then it is not unusual for the witch detection badge near the castle to fail.
"Be careful, our enemies may be just ahead."
Shad warned everyone softly, reached out to take the long sword that Miss Larson had just helped him hold, and then took out the [One-shot Pistol]. The gun was now loaded with special bullets given by the doctor - hitting a weapon can temporarily prevent the demon from using that weapon, and hitting a demon can allow the doctor to know its location within thirty days.
The others were all ready for battle, and then Shad asked everyone to wait for a moment to give the church, Vanessa and Danister time to catch up.
After the next group of people arrived here in about five minutes, the group officially headed towards the depths of the canyon.
The distance from their location to the steps in front of the palace tower was estimated to be about 1,000 to 1,200 meters. There was only thick snow blocking the way ahead, but as the snow was gradually melted by the flames summoned by everyone, ice sculptures appeared between them and the castle, standing in front of the castle.
Some of these ice sculptures are really just ice sculptures, but a few look like living people frozen in ice. Judging from their clothing, these should be ordinary people who strayed into this place in the past and have been standing here since they were frozen. It seems that the old ranger was lucky, at least he survived safely because of the unicorn's guidance.
