The friction and rotation of gears and chains tortured the eardrums and auricles. The loud rumbling sound made Lester always feel that the mountain was about to collapse. Fortunately, although it took a long time, the ice door still opened smoothly to the outside without any danger. Lester could even see the huge lever connected to the ice-cast stone door. Apparently something heavy pulled the chain and opened the ice door. He never expected that in the bitter cold of Freljord, it would be so cold. Such exquisite mechanism technology can still be seen in this place.
Immediately afterwards, a scene more shocking than the mechanism of the Ice Gate itself appeared in front of Lester, leaving the man standing stunned on the spot.
"Buzz~ring-ring-ring~ buzzing~~ring-ring-ring~"
After the sound of the ice door opening completely disappeared, a strange melody came from the stunning scenery outside the door. It all originated from a sudden huge wind. The huge wind blew through the mountains, and the wind chimes began to sway violently, breaking the silence.
Amidst the ethereal sound of wind chimes, the naturally formed porous mountain walls on both sides guide the airflow in the mountain to emit sacred whispers and calls according to specific pores. It is like the solemn voice of God. The entire mountain cliff seems to be made by nature. The giant mountain flute, played by the mountain wind, emits a tune that makes your legs weak and makes you want to worship.
Under the Wanren Ice Cliff is a bottomless fissure. Ancient wind chimes are swaying and swirling in the mountain. A floating stone bridge less than half a meter wide spans a hundred meters of mountain stream and connects to the opposite cliff. It is a hundred meters wide. There is only one road between the mountains and cliffs, which is good news for people with acrophobia. In addition, the bridge is located at the wind outlet. If you are not careful, you will fall from the stone bridge and become a decorative pendant on the ice pick. .
After more than ten seconds of wind whistling, the air holes in the mountains returned to calm, the wind chimes stopped making noises, and the mountains returned to calm. However, this calm was soon broken by the strong wind, and the shocking mountain sounds With the wind chimes coming again, it starts again and again, never stopping, like a moody god emitting anger and filial piety.
The harmonious beauty between man and nature is far beyond Lester's imagination. Perhaps hundreds of holes on the rock wall without one less would not have created such a wonderful scenery.
"The snowmen...the snowmen are there! We shouldn't offend them! The road has been found! Let me go! Let me go! Please forgive me, Lord God!"
In the deathly silence that suddenly rose in the mountains, the old man suddenly got up from the ground, yelled and ran back desperately. Soraka raised his right hand, hesitated for a moment but chose to give up, because Lester He didn't choose to stop it either.
"Let the two of us walk the next road. Mr. Nugeta has completed his mission. It is too dangerous to continue walking. In this case, we cannot take care of the old man."
Soraka, who was standing next to Lester, nodded, but then looked at the narrow stone bridge.
No one can forcefully walk across the stone bridge in such strong winds.
"But I'm afraid it's difficult for my magic to stop this strong wind. How are we going to get over it?"
Lester pointed to the wind chime.
“Listen carefully to the sound of the wind.”
"Ling ring ring~~~"
The silence passed, and the ringing wind chimes seemed to be the key to unlocking the mountain wind. Following the sound of the wind chimes, the terrifying mountain wind roared through the mountains again. After a long wait, the strong wind passed, and the wind chimes returned to calm.
"Eternal God Emperor"
Soraka showed a clear look and could see through all this in a short time. The woman couldn't help but admire the man.
"It seems that you also understand that every time the wind chimes ring, it is when the mountain breeze arrives. The mountain breeze lasts for about 14-15 seconds. The wind chimes disappear and the windless state lasts for about 15-16 seconds. The error It probably took less than two seconds. This windless period was our only chance to pass the stone bridge. I estimated that the distance of the stone bridge was about 120 meters, and it took us 14 seconds to run across the 120-meter-long stone bridge. Bridge, time is tight, but it should be enough for us.”
"So that's it. As long as we run there when there's no wind, we won't be in any danger."
In another burst of silence, the two of them got ready at the entrance of the stone bridge. As the wind chimes rang and the strong wind roared by, Lester, standing in the wind, held Soraka's little hand tightly, and the two squatted Sit on the ground to reduce the body's stress area. As the wind becomes weaker, the sound of the wind chimes begins to weaken until it disappears.
Although she had been mentally prepared for the situation, Soraka felt that her legs were a little weak and she couldn't use her strength when things were about to happen.
"run!"
As Lester's voice echoed in the quiet mountains, the two of them spread their legs and ran towards the other end of the stone bridge. The stone bridge was narrow and smooth, without any railings, but the two of them were not ordinary people. We walked all the way and arrived at the other end without any danger.
After the two of them successfully crossed the bridge and sat on the ground, the scalp-numbing wind blew again in the mountains behind them.
"Let's go. If we go further, we should reach the snowman ruins."
Lester, who stood up, had just taken two steps when he realized that Soraka was still unable to stand. Her trembling body was obviously not as calm and calm as the woman's expression.
Sitting back on the ground, the man took the woman's hand, held it in his palm, and wrapped it gently.
Under the man's silent comfort, Soraka's body gradually returned to calm and no longer trembled.
Soraka lowered her head in shame as Lester looked at her tenderly, feeling like she was being held back.
"Are you scared?"
The woman nodded silently, but Lester said softly.
"I'm afraid it's a normal thing. You have done well enough. Whether as a star spirit or as a human, you are excellent.
Soraka, in my eyes, you are a flawless and gentle gem. Your only flaw is that you don’t know how to take care of and protect yourself, and you always get yourself hurt. Just like another idiot, you can obviously be a superior god. But you always end up with bruises all over your body... But you have been walking on this land for thousands of years and have your own way of dealing with people. I have no intention of changing your past behavior, but at least here, I want you to suffer less. Some hurts, I want to protect you in my own way, can you understand? "
Soraka nodded, then lowered her head and stared at her warm right hand.
"Lester... you are different from other humans. You... you are the first human to protect me wholeheartedly. I, I don't quite understand why you do this. If you were alone, it should be easy. Can I leave the Frostguard Fortress? With my physical features that cannot be disguised, it is not convenient for me to move. I am too conspicuous..."
"You promised Vernis, you have been searching for me in Freljord for more than two hundred years, and you and Zuo Yin rescued me from Lissandra. You know what this means to me. What?"
"What does this mean to you?"
