Weird Wizarding World

  The remnants of the gods entrenched in the extreme north are, after all, just remnants.

  As long as the wizards think, there is absolutely no possibility that cannot be eliminated.

   It's just... there will be casualties.

  Bost and Gard flew ahead without saying a word, and behind them were wizards from the Nuolan Continent.

  In terms of quantity, it is already a quarter less than before.

  The wizard's general attack this time did not have any special strategy, it just kept shrinking the defense line at the same time.

  It is like an invisible big hand, constantly closing, completely sweeping the land of the extreme north.

  Under such circumstances, there is always one place in this invisible big hand that will give priority to encountering the gathered **** believers.

  The direction Bost and Gard are in charge of is such a dangerous direction.

  Facts also prove this point.

   "Have you told all your compatriots?" Bost quietly transmitted to Gard.

  The latter's face remained unchanged, and he also replied via voice transmission: "Yes, the order has been conveyed to everyone."

   "That's good. If there is any danger that we cannot resist later, the two of us will go forward and feign an attack, waiting for the support of the wizards on the flank."

  Boster said in a deep voice through the sound transmission: "Remember, we also have to give priority to saving our lives."

   "I understand." Gard's eyes were calm, and his face was particularly determined.

   That is to say, Nuolan's familiar relatives and friends are all dead, otherwise they would be shocked to see Gard's current appearance.

  …

   Renteria is located behind the entire wizard army. He looked at the slowly advancing troops with a serious expression.

  At this time, the line of defense has been pushed to the depths of the extreme north. On the southeast side of him is Graham City, which has been searched before encountering the believers of the gods.

  Same as the previously detected information, those believers of the gods did not occupy the city of wizards.

   They easily recovered Graham.

   But as they continued to advance, they also successfully discovered the believers of the gods... Thinking of this, Renteria gradually frowned.

  Those believers of the gods, rather than being discovered by them, are more likely to take the initiative to...block?

   Renteria couldn't help but think of the words of those **** believers before they died.

  The Lord of Winter... What conspiracy is still brewing?

  He looked ahead, under the dark sky, the white ice field was also pitch black.

  …

  Boom!

  The Lord of Winter crashed into the solid ice wall in embarrassment, and his ancient face was also covered with scars.

   "This ability is definitely not a power that wizards can master." Looking at Colin, the Lord of Winter murmured.

   Shua!

  A sharp ice spear pierced out from the ice wall behind him, and he didn't dodge, allowing the ice spear to pierce into his already illusory body.

  Under the constant attacks of Colin and Shelley, he is just a clone, and he has already reached the end of his strength.

   If you continue to fight, you will be beaten in vain.

   "This world can still give birth to aliens like you..." He looked up at Colin deeply, "The golden wall cannot protect you forever...I will come back again."

   As he spoke, the huge blue giant gradually collapsed from its feet and disappeared into the air.

  The only remaining bit of azure divinity, before Colin had time to step up to check, seemed to wither and quickly become gray and black and cracked, and finally dispersed into a cloud of black air, disappearing into the air.

   "Is this... foul raving?" Colin said with some uncertainty. After pondering for a moment, he cautiously turned on his super sense.

   And the scene seen in the super-sensing field of vision also proved his guess.

  In the place where the Lord of Winter died, the density of filthy ravings was obviously more dense than other places!

   If the rest of the place looks like a light gray haze, here is thick black smoke!

  However, these "black smoke" are also spreading towards the surrounding area with lower concentration at a speed visible to the naked eye, and gradually disappearing.

   Looking back, Colin looked at Shelley, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed after the death of the Lord of Winter's avatar, and suddenly thought of something.

   "Don't know where Sir Sylvester is?"

  Heart sank slightly, Colin turned his head and looked around, trying to find a trace of Sylvester being here.

  However, before he had time to observe carefully, he heard Shelley next to him standing up and whispering:

   "I know where the mentor is..."

   Colin turned around.

  In the field of vision, Shelley looked at the ice cave in front of her, her reddish eye sockets were so conspicuous against her snow-white skin.

   "Your Excellency Sylvester..." Colin was slightly taken aback.

   Ka Ka Ka.

  The ice wall in the front left suddenly began to move, and the dark blue ice continued to move to the left and right, creating a deep passage soon.

  Shelley didn't say anything, just flew forward slowly.

  The slender figure of this white ice and snow elf is particularly haggard at the moment.

  Colin's heart gradually shrouded in a layer of haze.

  In this glacier, perhaps his power is better than Shelley, but his perception is far inferior to Shelley.

  But now Shelley is acting like this... Colin's heart gradually sank.

   After a while.

  The two came to the top of the glacier through the ice crystal tunnel.

  Shelley continued to take two steps forward, bent down, and reached out to pick up a broken badge from the ground.

   The eyes of the blizzard were extremely quiet, only the slight sound of the breeze blowing.

  Colin stepped forward silently, standing side by side with Shelley, staring at the broken badge in front of him.

  Superbrain's talent allowed him to judge the origin of this badge in an instant—

   This is clearly the badge of the president of the True Knowledge Society that Sylvester has been wearing on his chest!

   "The mentor... I'm afraid he has been killed." Shelley rubbed the metal badge, whispered, and took two steps forward.

  A few broken gray cloths were scattered on the white ice.

  From its style and material, it is not difficult to see that this is from a witch robe.

   Such a discovery made Colin feel no luck anymore, and sighed deeply.

  Although the body has not been found, the fourth-order wizard has no body, so there will be no obvious remains after death.

  The witch robe and badge in front of him can basically announce the fact that Sylvester has died.

   "It's just the remains of some witch robes and badges. Maybe the real situation is not as bad as we thought."

  Although he thought so in his heart, Colin still comforted Shelley.

   "Yes." Shelley nodded, put away the witch robe and badge, and looked up at Colin.

  Her light blue eyes seem to have no emotion, but also seem to be full of emotions.

   She didn't say softly until Colin felt a little uncomfortable, "Thank you, Colin."

   "You're welcome, we are friends." Colin laughed.

   "Are we just friends?"

  Shelley's clear voice hit Colin's heart like a small copper hammer, making him tremble uncontrollably.

  In the eye of the blizzard, the weather is sunny. The night sky above is full of shining stars.

  On this huge circular ice field, only the two of them stood on the top of the glacier.

   Apart from this, there is no other person, other thing, other voice...

   Breeze seemed to have stopped because of nervousness.

  Colin felt that the surroundings were extremely quiet. Shelley's breathing was clearly audible, and his own slightly accelerated heartbeat was even more noisy.

  He paused, and laughed dryly: "We are close friends, very good friends!"

  Shelley glanced at him faintly, his light blue eyes were like a beautiful lake reflecting the starry sky, which made Colin a little speechless.

  “Life is the most magnificent miracle in the world, but also the most fragile miracle.

  —Mr. Sylvester once said this sentence when I was very young. "

  Shelley did not continue the previous topic, but suddenly said:

   "As an elf born in the world, I have had a long lifespan since I was born, so long that it even takes tens of thousands of years to count."

  As Shelley spoke, she walked towards a mountain not far away,

   "I never thought that I would die completely one day... just like I never thought that my mentor who lived for thousands of years would leave me so soon."

   "But in fact, it all happened."

  Colin Moran: "Life is always unpredictable."

"Yes." Shelley nodded, "When I was young, although I became a human child by accident and lost most of my strength, I am still much stronger than a real human. "

  “I won’t be afraid of the cold, I won’t be hungry, and it’s hard to get hurt. So for a long time, I haven’t understood what is pain, what is fear, what is…love.”

   Colin listened silently.

  He was actually very curious about how an elf who should have no concept of good and evil, or even emotion, became such a more human-like existence than many ordinary people.

  Shelley continued talking, climbing towards the mountain in front of him step by step, with Colin following closely behind.

  "My adoptive mother is just an ordinary human being. She doesn't know much, she can even be said to be ignorant, but she loves me very much.

   It's just a pity... I was too unique, and she was too stupid, and she didn't have a good time after bringing me back. "

   "No one is willing to marry her again, so in the extreme north, it becomes difficult for her to even eat, and hunger always plagues her.

   But no matter what, she always brings me enough food... even though I don't need it"

   "I don't get hungry, and she can't explain what hunger is, but she gets mad if I don't eat.

  So although I didn't take the initiative to eat, as long as she gave it to me, I would eat it, and the more I didn't take the initiative, the more she would take the initiative to give me food. "

   "But I never knew what hunger was, long after, after she starved to death.

  I just realized that for human beings, hunger is painful and even death. "

  Colin was silent. He looked at Shelley's back and wanted to open his mouth to say something, but he remained silent in the end.

  How can one understand hunger if one does not know hunger.

  It's like describing the light to a blind man. No matter how hard you try, it may be in vain.

   "After that, I knew about hunger, but I could only know about hunger, but I couldn't really understand hunger." Shelley was still narrating,

  "After she died, I lost my asylum. Although I don't understand hunger or pain, I can understand those abnormal gazes.

  Under the sense of crisis, my instinct drives me to imitate the actions of those around me...but I am not a good imitator. "

   "How can a person who cannot hear the voice play a good listener?"

   "Fortunately, before being handed over to the wizard by all the villagers, I met Mentor Sylvester."

   "It was also with the help of my mentor, through witchcraft, that I felt hunger for the first time.

  It is also the first time I feel real pain..."

   Shelley kept talking, recalling the original picture in his mind.

  …

  The huge wizard tower, in the three-story laboratory.

  A five or six-year-old girl was clutching her belly in a daze, with a pained expression gradually appearing on her face.

   "Is this hunger?" She asked the kind old man in front of her.

   "That's right, little Shelley." Sylvester smiled gently. He has neither a son nor a daughter, but he feels that the little girl in front of him is very much like his non-existent granddaughter.

   "What's the matter?" But the next moment, Sylvester suddenly asked nervously, and quickly withdrew the witchcraft.

   Pata.

   Papa Papa.

  Transparent tears welled up from the corners of Shelley's eyes, slid down her face drop by drop, and fell to the ground, splashing out tiny splashes.

  …

  “At that time, I thought about my adoptive mother.

  I finally understood hunger and the pain she suffered before she died. "

  On the glacier, Shelley continued, they were about to climb the mountain.

   "But at the same time, I am more confused.

  I am confused why my adoptive mother would rather suffer like that before she died, but still refuse to eat the last granola in front of her. "

   "I asked my mentor." Shelley finally climbed the mountain, she turned to look at Colin, "The mentor replied to me that it was 'love'."

  Shelley stretched out his hand and pulled Colin up to the top of the mountain, and the movement seemed a little difficult.

  At this moment, it seemed that she was no longer the naturally powerful glacier elf, but just an ordinary girl.

   "Love made my adoptive mother willing to suffer hunger, suffer pain, and even die, and leave me the last food."

  “…love is harder to understand than pain.”

   "The mentor made me experience hunger, pain, and fatigue through witchcraft...

  However, it doesn't make me feel love. "

   "The instructor said that love is very simple, and that it is love that can make people endure pain.

  But I feel that love is far more than pain, far more than death... far more complicated than everything. "

   After Shelley finished speaking, he suddenly turned his head, looked at Colin and asked, "You love me, don't you?"

   "You are willing to come to the extreme north for me, and you are willing to endure the fatigue of traveling, the pain of fighting, and even the risk of death for me... You love me, right?"

  As if shocked by Shelley's straightforward words, Colin froze in place.

   Shelley's words seem to be Puxin's speech.

  But he tortured his own heart, but found that he couldn't say the simple word 'no love' no matter what.

  Shelley was not aggressive, she looked at the rising and falling peaks of the glacier in front of her, and continued:

  “The people in Pani Village where I grew up always believed that every dead person will eventually become a raised ice peak on the ice sheet.”

   In many places, including Earth, there are the same legends.

   "I don't believe in this legend, but when my instructor took me back here for the first time, I found this glacier that gave birth to me. I don't know when there was an extra mountain."

   "It's the one not far ahead." Shelley pointed.

  Colin looked along and saw an ordinary mountain peak.

  Although Shelley didn't say it clearly, it can be judged through time that the mountain peak should refer to her adoptive mother.

   "And today, I discovered a new mountain." Shelley put down his arms and said suddenly.

  Colin naturally thought of Sylvester, who was probably dead.

   "Maybe the legend of Pani Village is true, maybe I took it as true... But before that, I have never seen the mountain under my feet, it is a new mountain."

   "Do you still remember the gift I gave you back then, the ice sculpture?"

   "Remember, Kasarat, the legendary five-petal flower that only blooms on the top of the iceberg and radiates light to the outside world."

  Colin nodded. The gift, which he had always carried with him, was now lying in the storage ring.

   "That's right, Kasarat." Shelley nodded, then suddenly looked behind Colin and said:

   "Look, the flowers are blooming."

  Colin was slightly taken aback, and turned around.

   On the top of the mountain behind him, a slightly blue flower emerged from the ice at some point, stretching its body, slowly blooming, and emitting a little bit of beautiful blue light.

   "About Kasarat, in Pani Village, there is another legend—

   This beautiful five-petal flower is the embodiment of the best wishes of a deceased loved one. "

  Shelley bent down, picked off the crystal five-petaled flower, and handed it to Colin.

  "When my mentor came to Jinmaisui and wanted to take me to the extreme north, I rejected him.

   On the surface, they are those factories that are worried about the golden ears of wheat. "

   "But in fact, I don't want your hard-earned things to be destroyed by others... I'm worried.

  After the golden wall is formed, I worry about you every day. "

   "Far from the far north pains me, but worrying about you pains me too.

  But the pain of the latter is different from the rest of the pain, this pain allows me to face more pain..."

   "It's love, right?"

   Shelley whispered,

   "Love is also pain sometimes, isn't it?"

   "I'm afraid so."

   "Then I think, I love you."

"Do you love me?"

  Bright starlight falls on the top of the mountain.

  Looking at the sorceress in front of him, Colin's heart was like the surface of a calm lake blown by the breeze, rippling in circles.

   "I love you too, Shelley."

   He finally said, his voice as gentle as the night wind.
