Chapter 1082: Frost Witch
The narrowness of the battlefield made Geno give up the idea of throwing the army of undead. People went to die one after another. Qianjue had noticed that there was no place on the battlefield to accommodate the dead.
"Let's go into the hall, leave it to Sejonni." Geno asked Ash to stop his numb hands, then drove the Zhuyuan to leapt over the battlefield, and headed towards the depths of the main fort.
After the Icicle Mechanism was broken, there was nothing here to stop him. He wanted to find Lisangzhuo's original deity and confront her in front of her.
The fortress gate was open, and the cold wind echoed in the empty and deep avenue, whipping the hull emblem that had been mottled for a long time on the battlefield, like the sad scratching of a banshee in the abyss.
Even though there was no one along the way, only the ice floor that was as bright as a mirror, Geno did not relax his vigilance at all. This was an ancient castle with a history of nearly ten thousand years, and no one knew what kind of wild magic was engraved on those icicles.
Zhuyuan quietly advanced in the open avenue, walking through the standing frost pillars, and finally arrived in front of the gate deep in the main fort.
Going further forward, they will enter the interior of the claustrophobic fortress, which is a place that the Zhuyuan cannot enter, and they must walk on the cold floor.
What really made him stop was the frost guards kneeling in front of the gate singing prayers, and the frost priests who bowed their heads and prayed.
"We are born on ice and return to ice..."
"We protect the last pure land, supervise the shadows under the abyss, and let it sink into the cradle of dreams forever; ice is our ally, ice is our truth; ice does not bring pain, ice will bring surrender."
They bowed, and the stars surround a tall and mysterious back like the moon - she was wearing a gorgeous robe, as beautiful as the snow that had just fallen. She wore a huge and heavy holy black ice hood, engraved with complex patterns like eyes.
Looking at the long silver braids stretching under the hood, and the fluorescent crampons that lost the posture of human arms because of the ice magic, Geno knew that this was what they had been looking for these days and had been obstructing them. They had many names such as the legendary three sisters, Lady Ice and Dark, and the Frost Guard Matriarch.
"Lisanjo, I thought you would wait for us deeper."
When he saw Lisanjo, Geno was not as excited as he expected. He was calm and greeted her in a tone of talking about the weather with an acquaintance he hadn't seen for a long time.
The ice clusters under her feet were spiraling up one after another, helping Lisangzhuo turn around gracefully, and her long-horned hood covered her eyes, making people feel like she was looking up at the starry sky.
She raised her head to the sound source. Although she could not see her eyes directly, Geno seemed to feel a strange gaze staring at him. He turned on his spiritual vision and indeed saw a cold magic glow flashing in Lisang's eyes.
She could "see" her own place and follow the shape of others in her mind. Geno thought to herself that although Lisanzhuo had lost his eyes a long time ago, she also gained another indescribable sense.
"Ice is telling..." Suddenly, a cold whisper echoed in his ears, making Geno feel like he fell into an ice cave.
Although I had never seen Lisangzhuo speak or heard her voice, Geno was sure that this was her whisper. It was cold, dry, dark and mysterious, as if it was a disorderly murmur from the other end of the realm.
Lisangzhuo did not move at all, and there was only the cold wind whistling around him, but the sound never stopped.
"What do you tell me?" Geno responded straightforwardly, not playing with Lisangzhuo. In addition, he had to let people around him know that he had heard strange sounds, instead of staring at Lisangzhuo in a daze.
Let others not doubt it - is a piece of ice lump really that beautiful?
"Under the ice, some kind of darkness and emptiness, it is laughing..." The sound floated again, but it was always intermittent, as if it was deliberately creating a sense of mystery.
But is the mystery really useful to Geno? Not only does he not feel the mystery, he also thinks that Lisangzhuo is pretending to be a ghost. If you want to blame, he still knows Lisangzhuo too well. When you know all the secrets of a witch, the witch will be stripped naked and cannot make you feel such a strong threat.
The sound is intermittent, like a tape of old age, and can no longer play a complete melody.
"I hate people who speak halfway through the word." Geno raised his left hand impatiently, and a bright threat appeared in his palm.
Lisangzhuo's lips opened slightly, as if he had a breath of cold air.
After a brief silence, she herself opened her mouth, her two dry and cracked lips gently opened, revealing the secret buried under the ice.
"It said to me 'frost and lies are tools for the end of the road'. I clenched my hands into fists! I will pull out the eye that monitors everything! Pull it on the spear of the ice! Otherwise the howling and songs of the cold wind will only sing to the abyss that keeps collapsing..."
The kneeling Frost Guards connected to the Frost Priests were stunned. Geno read from their astonished expressions. This seemed to be the first time Lisangrao spoke publicly in reality.
Perhaps they all knew that she was Lisanzhuo, because Lisanzhuo traveled back and forth a hundred times before every dawn, crossing the entire ice field. They had more or less contact with the Frost Witch who was walking in the dream. But she herself rarely seemed to appear in real vision, let alone speak out as openly as she is now.
But even so, she made each of them hear it and feel it deep in their hearts...
A strange thing-
Under the ice.
There really is some kind of darkness and emptiness.
hunger.
Bite.
"Is she saying prophecy?"
Ashe frowned, trying to understand Lisangrao's words, and the weird feeling she passed on to herself.
She had heard the Frost Priest mention the Eye of Lisangrao many times before, but now it seems that the Eye of the Surveillance they are fighting against seems to be even more terrifying than the Eye of Lisangrao? It is enough to destroy the Frost Kingdom of Lisangrao?
Regarding the watcher, she just vaguely heard Jeno and his crew mention it, and did not have an in-depth understanding. She came to the Frost Guard Fortress more to break the fate that Lisangrao arranged for herself, so that peace would return to this land that he didn't want to fight. The watcher was something that Jeno and the others wanted to solve, so it was normal that Ashe didn't know much.
"Ash, what she said was not a prophecy, it was a fact, but it was a lie."
Geno's answer Ash was even more confused...is it a fact, it is a lie?
Do these two really exist at the same time?
What is the truth?
