Nestled within the dark blue sky-high square icicles, the Blackstone Fortress, just like its cold and hard fortress walls, rules all the Freljord villages and tribes in the North with chains and ruthlessness.
Here, all living creatures must unconditionally surrender to the Ice Queen. The Frost Guard is the Ice Queen’s most powerful scepter, and the Perfect Ice is the Ice Queen’s highest reward for the tribes that obey her.
Zhenbing means strength, and strength means survival.
No one knows how Zhenbing was made by the Ice Queen, but the Freljordians who surrendered to the Ice Queen understand that only the Iceborn who obtain Zhenbing can carve out a place of respite in this barren land. .
Within a radius of a hundred miles, even the ferocious Ursines who believe in ancient gods will stay away from this fortress where everything is frozen, as if there is really something terrible in the fortress. This also makes the tribes who live around the Frostguard Fortress even more worshipful. Ice Queen.
In their view, only the Ice Queen can bring strong hope to the Freljord, so they willingly obey the Ice Queen's rule and are willing to send the ice-born girls from their tribe to the Frostguard Fortress to serve the Ice Queen, and follow the Ice Queen. The Ice Queen learns frost magic,
Even if the warm and lovely daughters return, they will turn into cold and ruthless ice-born sorceresses.
Accordingly, the Ice Queen will also send her ice-born sorceresses to various parts of her land to maintain the Ice Queen's majesty and rule. By the way, it is logical to expel some trolls or werebears.
As for the powerful tribes who are unwilling to submit to the Ice Queen's rule, such as the Winter's Claw tribe in the south or the Avarosa tribe, they will naturally not receive any support from the Ice Queen. Of course, they do not need to send people with Iceborn blood. The girls were sent to the Frostguard Fortress to fend for themselves, and self-reliance was their only choice.
In the Freljord Icefields where power reigns supreme, the Ice Queen is the most powerful ruler, bar none.
Although he also understood the above-mentioned information collected from the people of Freljord, it was not until he was escorted by the tough Frost Guard to the Frost Guard Fortress that Ryze experienced firsthand what it meant to be domineering.
Fortunately, Ryze himself was not a bad-tempered person, and the Frost Guard in leather armor had no intention of taking away the scroll bag. The obedient wandering mage let the two escort him into the towering gate of the Frost Guard Fortress. Inside, passed through the fortress corridor.
Finally, under the escort of guards, Ryze arrived at the Ice Queen's residence, [Eternal Ice Palace].
The dark blue ice crystal hall exuded a breathtaking chill. Even Ryze himself felt a chill in this place that was enough to freeze the air. Fortunately, he was temporarily sure that there was nothing he was looking for here, so he There is no need to think about starting a war with the Ice Queen.
Then, he saw the Ice Queen sitting on the Ice Throne, wearing a gorgeous dark blue robe and an ice blue crystal mask.
Behind the Ice Queen, on both sides, were two ice-born sorceresses wearing magic cloaks and holding perfect ice staffs.
"You guys stand down."
The Ice Queen's voice was majestic and ruthless. Just by looking at the voice alone and looking at the uneven body, Ryze couldn't even find a trace of the smell of a human woman in the 'human' in front of him.
This voice was like a piece of deep blue ice that had never melted for thousands of years. This woman who had lived for who knows how long was both beautiful and deadly.
"yes."
The two Frost Guards who let go of Ryze's arms knelt on one knee and saluted, then stood up and bowed their waists, facing the Queen and slowly moving backwards. It was not until they reached the gate of the Ice Palace that the two guards straightened up completely and turned around. Leave through the side door.
The ice-born sorceress guarding the gate of the Ice Palace raised her staff, and the five-meter-high ice door slowly closed, which put a wry smile on Ryze's face as he turned to look back. After the Frost Guards went out, the Ice Queen waved her hand and signaled the Ice-born sorceress guarding the Ice Palace to also leave through the side door.
Apart from the Queen, only distinguished guests with extremely high status at the main entrance have the right to walk through. Ruiz, who had just understood this, observed everything in front of him and seemed to understand why the Ice Queen valued her very much, but allowed the two Frost Guards to A reason to 'invite' yourself in an offensive way.
This may be some kind of warning...
Soon, only the mage with a complicated expression and the queen on the throne were left in the ice palace.
After a few seconds of silence, the Ice Queen's voice was ethereal and cold.
"Hylia's civilization has disappeared in the long river of history, and Blessed Light Island has now become a shadow island, becoming the cradle of evil spirits.
It was you who allowed the news of the world runes to spread throughout the world, and the world was traumatized by it. Countless people died wailing, and shadows laughed wildly in the dark...
I call you the sinners of the world, and I think you are not qualified to deny it.
Master Tyrus’s apprentice, Master Ryze, I have heard about you and know what you have been looking for. I can tell you that I don’t have what you are looking for here, and the great Iceborn does not need flash. stones to help us overcome the harsh environment of the Freljord, and the perfect ice of the North is enough to cope with all difficulties.
I can allow you to walk on this land, but I will never allow you to cause any large-scale riots or kill people wantonly. This is my promise to you, and it is also the bottom line you must keep in mind. If you exceed the bottom line, you will become a monster. Enemies of Laeljord, this icy land will fight you to the death. "
Knowing that the Rune War was inseparable from the secret society he was a member of, Ryze said with a wry smile.
"I am not a murderous person, and killing is definitely not my original intention. Please rest assured, Queen.
For that matter...
Although it is contrary to our original intention, the result is that the news was leaked due to our negligence, which caused such great trauma to the world. I and several other mages are deeply sorry for this. Death is not a pity, but mistakes always require To be carried by a living person is my only thought in life..."
Ryze bowed slightly and said the last words.
"Excuse me, Ice Queen."
"Mage Ryze, I won't send it away."
Straightening up, the mage turned and left without hesitation.
The queen raised her hand, and the ice door opened again. Ryze's body paused, but he still walked to the side door and left directly through the side door.
The empty ice door closed again, and with a sigh, the Ice Queen stood up and stared at the empty and cold ice palace. The queen took off the crystal mask on her face, revealing an ageless face as beautiful and delicate as perfect ice.
The only flaw is that the woman's eyes are covered by a dark blue silk eyepatch, making it impossible to see what kind of stunningly beautiful eyes are underneath the silk eyepatch.
The woman sighed, her voice no longer as deep and majestic as before, and became ethereal and pure, like the purest girl.
"Will the world usher in its end? Who can know what I am carrying?"
Looking down at her feet, the Queen silently put on her mask again, as if facing an abyss.
"Weakness will only make persistence worthless..."
