“…”
“…”
“…”
"...How long are you going to hold me?" Sigourney asked expressionlessly.
The smile that was made me laugh just now was gone, and the guilt and guilty conscience were gone. All that was left was an indescribable complex feeling.
I always feel like the kid is taking advantage of the situation.
Ash had actually calmed down, but he was reluctant to leave so he nuzzled into his shoulder, feeling a little guilty: "A little longer?"
Can you still bargain?
Sigourney sneered, twisted the back of his neck and pulled him away, lowered her eyes to meet those innocent light-colored eyes: "..." Then she pushed him back expressionlessly, "Just a little longer, today... I owe him."
The boy buried his head in the vampire's shoulder again and laughed secretly: "Sigourney, I like you."
The vampire's body froze. What else?!
But this time, the boy only used half of his ultimate move, and there was still a follow-up move to follow -
"You like me too." The boy said confidently, "I know."
"!" The vampire was so stiff that he was about to break. What the hell was this guy talking about? !
You know, what else do you know?
Sigourney tightened her voice: "Oh, the stars told you again?"
Ash shook his head, the soft hair tickling his cheek.
"The stars didn't tell me," Ash said. "You told me."
he?
When did he...
As her past memories were constantly turned over, Sigourney fell silent.
...I really met a guy with a terrifying insight.
After a while, he sneered inexplicably. Look, this is the person who was talking about being shy just now?
When Ash heard his laughter, two happy dimples appeared on his cheeks. He held Sigourney's arms tighter, and as expected, he was neither scolded nor pushed away.
Instead, Sigourney used a "cleaning spell" to help him deal with some embarrassing little problems.
Ash then obediently chose not to mention the fact that Sigourney had foolishly suggested "go take a shower" and had completely forgotten the wizard's spell - of course, he himself couldn't remember it at that time.
Perhaps for a moment, both his and Sigourney's brains had a temporary short circuit.
The spell also cured the wetness all over his body. Sigourney's injuries recovered, and the two were dressed neatly. Except for Ash who was a little weak due to blood loss, everything seemed to be back to the best condition.
After Ash had sucked Sigourney enough and climbed off the vampire with a red face, the two of them had to face a serious problem in front of them.
Where is this? How do I leave?
After a rough test, it was found that the space bracelet could not be used, and magic above the second level could not be used. This world under the snow seemed to be imprisoned by a special barrier, strictly restricting the actions of all creatures inside.
It was impossible to contact Nance, nor could he take out the space scroll and teleport away.
Ash couldn't sense the correct direction either.
But it's not to the point where we are helpless.
Isn't there a dark cave entrance in front of them? If they give up drifting along the dark river, then this cave entrance is their only choice. Before they figure out what to do, why not follow the only path first? Who knows, the answer will naturally emerge as they walk?
"Follow me," said Signy.
But just as he was about to enter the cave, he heard a rumbling sound from behind him.
He paused, turned his head, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "You..."
Ash held his stomach helplessly, "I'm hungry too."
When Sigourney is hungry, she can bite him. But when he is hungry, biting Sigourney will do no good.
What to eat in a place like this?
The two of them looked at the underground river flowing under the stone platform at the same time. If there is a river, there should be fish, right?
Unexpectedly, the dark river gave them a bigger surprise.
"Rabbit!" Ash walked to the edge of the stone platform and picked up a storm rabbit that had been frozen stiff.
They floated over after many twists and turns, and there was actually a rabbit that fell into the water with them, accompanying them all the way here!
What a fate.
"Sigourney, can I eat the drugged Storm Rabbit?"
"Can."
So, a rabbit that was destined to be eaten was roasted into a greasy and plump rabbit. Although it didn’t have much taste, it could at least fill the stomach.
While Ash was eating, they finally talked about the previous Radiant Circle.
Sigourney had recovered now, so she naturally didn't just say to Ash, "After that, go read a book," as she did when she was seriously injured. He sat next to Ash and explained in detail with rare patience.
Among the thirteen thrones, there is one called the "Glorious Throne".
If the Radiant Throne corresponds to the prophecy lineage, then the Glorious Throne is actually the inscription lineage. Speaking of inscriptions, the most commonly used one is the magic circle.
The prophecy is related to the stars, so it is natural that the throne is named Brilliant.
But how are inscriptions linked to glory?
This brings us to an ancient magic circle.
It is the oldest magic circle known to date, and it was established in the "City of God's Creation", the headquarters of the Wizard Association and the seat of the Thirteen Thrones Council. Or, to put it the other way around, the City of God's Creation was established on the basis of this magic circle.
This magic circle is the Glory Circle, which represents the highest achievement of inscription.
Therefore, the throne of the Inscription lineage was named the Glorious Throne and passed down from generation to generation.
Of course, the glorious magic circle that Sigourney encountered today was a simplified version of the one in the City of Creation.
A version that has been simplified countless times.
But setting up a version that has been simplified countless times would also require a lot of effort and a large amount of...magical materials.
Sigourney frowned: "If the Broken River Plain hadn't been opened, they wouldn't have been able to set up such a magic circle." First of all, there was a shortage of materials.
The Broken River Plain brought many changes to Iluf, but he and Nance still neglected them.
"Them?" Ash asked.
But Sigourney didn't tell him. She propped up her chin with her long legs, her eyes fell on the rabbit meat in his hand, and said, "This rabbit was not called the Storm Rabbit before."
Ash didn't ask any more questions, but waited quietly for Sigourney to share some basic knowledge.
"In the past, they caused a snowstorm disaster that almost destroyed a city. Because of that disaster, they changed their name and were called snowstorm rabbits by humans. The tradition of hunting rabbits also emerged in the North. Since then, no one has seen such a disaster with their own eyes." Sigourney curled the corners of her lips with interest, "I didn't expect that someone would come up with this trick."
Ash bit into the rabbit meat and felt that "they" that Sigourney had not explained just now were probably in trouble.
Has Sigourney already made a note of it in her little notebook?
Ash was very hungry and ate very quickly.
Unfortunately, there was only one rabbit sent from a thousand miles away, and there were no fish in the underground river, so there was no way to find a few more to store food. I could only hope that I would find some food to fill my stomach in the rest of the journey.
Otherwise, Ash's human body would not be able to survive underground for long.
After packing up, the two of them prepared to set off as soon as possible.
As a vampire, Sigourney is a complete creature of the night, so her vision in the dark is naturally excellent. Ash's physical condition has improved due to the contract, and he can also see clearly in the dark.
The two of them did not use any lighting magic, but walked directly into the cave one after the other.
Behind the cave entrance was a long corridor, with uneven ice walls on both sides and sharp icicles hanging above his head. Combined with the stone platform outside, Ash felt that this passage was also artificially built. It should have been very wide, but under the erosion of the cold day after day, the ice layer became thicker and thicker, gradually squeezing the road into a narrow strip, allowing only one person to pass through by slightly leaning sideways.
If they had arrived a little later, the passage might have been completely frozen and people would no longer be able to enter or exit.
The passage was extremely long, and Ash could only feel that they were going down. He had no idea how long it would take or when it would end.
In a small space, the unknown and confused destination can easily make people feel afraid.
But when Ash looked at the slender figure in front of him and the long hair that was scattered and swaying slightly, he felt particularly at ease.
In the darkness, he carefully touched Sigourney's hand. When his warm fingertips touched the cold back of her hand, he excitedly wrapped them around it.
The vampire walking in front seemed not to notice anything and continued walking without even turning his head.
But when you look down, you will see the pale and thin fingers move slightly, and then clenched silently.
This grip seemed to be holding the heart.
Ash blinked, finally feeling some sense of certainty.
Then he felt that the whole passage was filled with the sound of his increasingly intense heartbeat, even more intense than when his blood was being sucked.
He thought belatedly, I think I have accomplished a great feat. You are awesome, Ash Elwin! Everyone in Duogu Village will be happy for you!
He tried to let his mind wander and let his thoughts run wild, and gave himself a bouquet of flowers in his heart, but he still couldn't suppress his fluttering heart and pounding heart.
When Angel met Yelena before, he watched from the side and thought to himself that when he saw Sigourney, he would only feel happy and not as nervous as Angel.
——Why did I have such thoughts before? Ash covered his heart that was about to jump out of his chest, feeling that he was about to suffocate from nervousness.
"Stop any of your thoughts." Sigourney said coldly without even turning her head, "If your palms dare to get hot and sweaty, I will let go immediately."
Ash took a deep breath, pulled his hand free, calmly rubbed it against the ice wall next to him, then quickly turned back and put it back into Sigourney's hand, which was frozen before she could react.
"It's all right," he said calmly.
Sigourney, who thought the kid was going to get spoiled and act like a spoiled brat, said: “…” She hadn’t decided whether to ignore him or just coax him.
Fortunately, after this little setback, Ash regained the order of his heartbeat.
He followed Sigourney's footsteps, and even though the future was unknown and they were in darkness and cold, he smiled warmly and peacefully.
