Chapter 145-144- The Mysterious Garden of the Polar Regions

At noon the next day, Yvette came to the study and saw Lant's message on the communicator. She was stunned for a moment, thinking that missing for more than a hundred years was a bit too long, almost comparable to her own hundred-year sleep.

However, the good news is that Bingyu is only missing. Through some method used by the Mechanical Tribe's Temple, it has been confirmed that she is still alive, which is a blessing in disguise.

Immediately, Yvette carefully read the information that Lant sent her later about the mysterious legend.

The legend was also born more than a hundred years ago. A mechanical explorer risked his life to cross the Arctic ice field and discovered an incredible garden deep in the polar region. Not only did it cover a vast area, like a huge city, it also contained strange man-made buildings. It did not fit the descriptions of other explorers that this place was desolate and empty.

After sending this discovery to his friends, the explorer, out of curiosity, stepped into the mysterious polar garden... and has never been heard from since.

Since then, this strange legend has attracted many explorers like a magnet. Full of curiosity, they formed teams and tried to uncover the secret of the mysterious garden in the polar region. However, no matter the size of the team, all those who set foot there were like a stone sinking into the sea, and no one ever returned.

Even Bingyu was one of the earliest explorers.

Afterwards, after the "Divine Grace" team sent by the Temple also went there without returning, the area was finally officially designated as a "high-risk zone" by the Temple, and all the mechanical tribes of the Puppet Kingdom were strictly warned not to approach.

…

After reading Lant's message, Yvette raised her eyebrows slightly, feeling very curious.

She remembered that Yuanliu North Sea was the territory of the "King of the Sky and Sea", one of the nine monarchs, and the Arctic was the core area of ​​the other party's jurisdiction.

The disappearance of the mechanical tribe there, without return, is connected to the King of the Sky and Sea? Is that mysterious polar garden the King of the Sky and Sea's habitat?

But how could the Temple be so sure that the missing were still alive? Could there be external communications there, or had the God of Machinery and the King of Sky and Sea communicated in some way?

Whatever the truth is, Bingyu is one of her few friends, and a mysterious garden where one can never return sounds worth exploring.

Three days later, Abella returned driving the magic motorcycle. After briefly explaining the situation to her, Yvette immediately set about modifying the magic motorcycle so that it could better adapt to the harsh polar environment.

Then, after equipping herself with all the necessary supplies, she immediately took Abella with her and drove into the depths of the Yuanliu North Sea, diving headfirst into the white, extremely cold world made of endless ice and snow.

…

The boundless polar night shrouded the frozen earth, and the cold wind blew up snow dust, swirling and howling across the wilderness.

Overhead, the emerald green aurora was like a giant blue python, twisting its body constantly, rendering the cold and hard snowfield into a hazy green.

"Master, there are so many auroras here." Abella sat in the passenger seat, looking at the scenery outside through the car window covered with a thin layer of frost.

"What a pity, these are all real auroras." Yvette sighed regretfully.

When she first entered the polar region, she was surprised to see the aurora lights appearing from time to time in the polar night, but she soon discovered that the aurora here was without remnants, and was completely different from the aurora she wanted, so the significance of it was greatly reduced.

The magic motorcycle sped across the hard ice.

In the boundless darkness, the metal body of the car is like a huge ice mirror, reflecting the ever-changing blue and green light in the sky.

Occasionally, there would be snow-only deformed creatures that appeared, shaped like frozen ghouls or snow monsters covered in white fur, both human and animal forms, but they would often be crushed to death by the magic motorcycles as soon as they emerged from the snow.

In this way, several days passed, and the two of them wandered aimlessly across the vast ice field without seeing any clues. Until the seventh day, at the bottom of a deep ice canyon, Yvette discovered an anomaly.

It was the wreckage of a severely damaged magic mecha, lying alone in the shadow of the canyon, almost blending in with the ice and snow.

Yvette immediately got out of the car. This wreckage might belong to one of the lost Divines in the polar regions, and perhaps it could hold some clues about the mysterious garden.

Carefully clearing away the ice, snow and discarded parts, Yvette identified the somewhat familiar bionic face among the wreckage.

She vaguely remembered that she and Abella had both seen the unconscious God-Blessed within the Magical Mecha Soldier. Her name seemed to be "Elite White Dove," nicknamed "White Dove Detective." Back in Water Tower Country, the horrific and bloody scene of Yvette harvesting aberrations had drawn the White Dove Detective's attention, leading him to nickname her "Blood Demon."

During the following 20 years of travel, she met Detective White Dove several more times, each time at the scene of the "Blood Demon Incident." However, Detective White Dove never doubted the three of them, and each time he firmly stated that he would find the terrifying Blood Demon and strangle it in the cradle.

I didn't expect to meet you here again after a hundred years.

After dragging the unconscious Elliott out of the wreckage and confirming that his key parts were not damaged, Yvette found his charging port and transferred some magic power.

A few minutes later, as magic power began to flow through the magic wire again, Elliott's body trembled slightly, and his closed bionic eyelids opened slightly, revealing a dazed look. He looked at Yvette and said blankly, "What...happened?"

"We are about to ask you what happened." Abella crossed her arms and asked with a noble and cold look on her face.

Yvette also asked: "We passed by here and found you, how did you fall here?"

Elliott turned his gaze blankly, his eyes wandering between the two people's faces. But after a while, as if a memory switch had been triggered, he sat up straight and said, "I... I remember! I escaped from 'that place'! But Bai Zhi and I were almost out of energy, and we were attacked by deformed creatures on the way... In the end... I collapsed here..."

He turned his head to look at the wreckage of the magic mecha, his expression revealing sadness. It was obvious that "Bai Zhi" was referring to his fighting partner.

"'That garden'? The mysterious garden in the polar regions? Do you know where it is?" Yvette asked. "What kind of place is that? Why do all the people who have been there disappear?"

Elliott's expression became complicated, as if he was recalling a terrible nightmare. He said in a trance, "That place... I, I have never seen such a beautiful place, but I have never seen a place more dangerous than it... There are some strange rules there, and everything related to magic is restricted and cannot be used at will. But there are also terrible magical creatures that will attack you..."

After a pause, he warned, "If that's your destination, I advise you not to go. Even a top-tier Divine Grace recipient wouldn't be able to fully utilize their abilities there. You must stay away from that place!"

Yvette's eyebrows furrowed slightly. Judging from the other party's description, this mysterious garden was truly bizarre. It could actually restrict magic itself, and even powerful beings like the Divine Grace had to abide by its rules...

Why does it sound like some kind of massive, million-scale spell? Like the no-fly zone in Fus River.

Could this be a super-relic left behind by the original civilization? Are the so-called magical creatures and rules the ruins' automatic defenses?

Although there are still many questions to ask, the other person has just recovered, so I have to give him some time to rest and sort out his thoughts.

After confirming that the Magical Robot "Bai Zhi" had even its mind core damaged, Yvette let the grief-stricken Elliott get into the car and changed the subject: "Mr. Elliott, long time no see. How are your investigations into the 'Blood Demon' going?"

Elliott, who had just pulled a string and used the magic motorcycle to recharge himself, was stunned for a moment when he heard this and said, "How did you know I was secretly tracking down the Blood Demon?"

Now it was Yvette's turn to be speechless. She just chatted casually, trying to help Elliott recover from his depression. As a result, more than a hundred years have passed, and this guy is still looking for her?

"We met a few times when you were investigating the Blood Demon incident," Yvette reminded her. "The first time was in Water Tower Country."

"Oh, it's you... uh, what are your names? Sorry, the memory has some bad sectors, and that part of the data may be damaged..." Elliott said embarrassedly.

"Master, this guy wants to catch you. Why don't we catch him here..." Abella quietly put her face close to Yvette's ear, made a gesture of wiping her neck, and smiled evilly.

Yvette glanced at Abella and thought, you are too extreme... and where did you learn this posture?

Then she briefly introduced herself and Elliott.

"So it's you, Miss Yvette, Miss Abella," Elliott said. "That Blood Demon... well, how should I put it? He's much more cunning than I thought. He must have noticed I was looking for him. He's been completely silent for the past hundred years. He's truly forgiving."

No, she was just sleeping.

"But it's also possible that he used more covert means, obliterating all traces, deliberately trying to test my reasoning skills and deliberately provoking me.

No, not at all.

"But please rest assured, my two compatriots, I will keep investigating until I find out!" Elliott said again with a firm expression.

This is truly a long-term career that can last a lifetime...

Yvette perfunctorily expressed her admiration, then got straight to the point and asked, "Mr. Elliott, can you tell me about your experience inside that mysterious garden?"
