The Shadow of the Crown of Snow [Western Fantasy]

There is no one in the palace.In addition, all the vitality and the power of faith are converging in the same direction, Selene feels that her guess is not too much.

Hussein used those black snakes to plunder the vitality and power of faith of everyone in the palace.After all, they were the closest to him and the most convenient to attack, and they were also the least effective in blocking Selene and Hecate's attack.Hussein has forgotten his duty as the king of a country, and he completely regards himself as a god and lives.

Even such a fallen monarch still has his devout admirers, and some people are willing to pray for him and provide him with the power of faith.

"It's not surprising." Phoebe analyzed calmly, "In the struggle against the Nord Kingdom, the Nagrand Empire has always been in a weak position, until one day...they discovered that they could rely on the strength of others to make themselves stronger. stronger."

At that time, the king of the Nord Kingdom was the famous conqueror Toynby. Under his leadership, the Nord Kingdom consolidated its rule over the border, and at the same time expanded its territory step by step.The Church of Light has reached saturation in the Holy Church of Wilton, and the Church of Light is eager to find a new land to spread the faith, and the most suitable places are naturally the Nagrand Empire and the Nord Kingdom.

After careful consideration, the Church of Light chose the Nagrand Empire.Part of the reason for this is Toynby's inaccessibility and other races on the mainland's prejudice against northerners, and part of it is that Emperor Nagrand was very active in fighting for this opportunity, hoping that his country could also Receive the blessing of the God of Light.

Toynby used the method of the Penglai people to create a god for the Nord Kingdom, while the Nagrand Empire chose to accept the blessing of the God of Light. These two countries, which have been sworn enemies since their birth, have gone through a long 700 years. , went the exact same way.

Hecate and Hussain.

They each bear the glory of Nord and Nagrand, and they will be victorious here.

"It seems that Hussein is preparing to accumulate all his strength and fight to the death." Although there was no one in the palace, Hecate still did not relax his vigilance, she still held the handle of the Crescent Blade, "But we... And why not."

"Be careful!" The keen senses of the Penglai people came in handy at this time, Gu Yinuo pushed Phoebe to avoid the black shadow that suddenly rushed, "Is it... a dog?"

It can be vaguely seen that it used to be an ordinary Nagrand royal hound. These hounds have undergone strict training and will not easily launch any attacks without the owner's order, but now they are covered in black Smoke, frantically pounced on every living thing it could see.

The speed of the hound was faster than that of a human, and it was even more difficult to catch after getting the black mist. In addition, its actions did not have any logic. Even Hecate paused holding the knife, looking for an opportunity to attack.

The moment she was about to finish off the hound, Selene rushed forward.

Selene moved a little slower, the hound was about to bite her neck, but she raised the blade in time and stabbed the hound who jumped in the air and couldn't dodge.

With lingering fear, she drew the long sword from the hound's corpse, and Hecate grabbed the wrist.

"Selene, you just need to protect your own safety. It is impossible to turn the tide of the battle with your strength. It is better to live well than to die in vain." Hecate's grip on her wrist became stronger and stronger, After feeling her slight struggle, she didn't let go, "I don't want you to sacrifice for me, and I don't need you to sacrifice for me."

"Okay, I get it, I won't worry you." Selene withdrew her long sword, "Before meeting Hussein, let us handle things that can be handled by us."

Hecate nodded, turned around and looked at the road in front of him.

"Come with me, I know this place all too well."

One cannot easily forget what it was like to live in the place where he lived for 15 years.Hecate deftly led them around corners and down a few steps until they came to a corridor filled with Hussein's power of faith.

"That's right here..." Hecate suddenly felt a burst of difficulty breathing, as if she had returned to the nightmare of the past, and was forced to face Hussein's green eyes in the darkness.

"Hecate? Hecate!" Selene let her lean on her body, and the power of faith was transmitted along her arm. "Did you get injured before? Or is there something wrong with this place..."

"She's stunned." The God of Light stepped up and touched Hecate's forehead, "In a human way, she's terrified."

"What?" Selene lowered her head and looked worriedly at Hecate, who was already in a semi-conscious state, "Could it be that she has been in this depressed state for the past few days?"

"She shouldn't be so fragile, but because of the shadow left by her previous life, Hussein can easily use magic to interfere with her as long as she stands in Yoda City." The God of Light in the dark corridor Using the power of faith to condense a light source, "Plus... she is really afraid that she will lose."

"Then now..." Selene bit her lower lip hard, "I probably know what method to use."

night.cliff.rushing river.

This is Hecate's spiritual world—and now it's also her divine kingdom.

The Kingdom of God was completely transformed by Hecate into a reduced version of the Frosted City of the Nord Kingdom. The place where Selene stood still retained the original appearance of the spiritual world, but it was only a small part. She saw it after taking a few steps. The familiar scenery of the Northland.

But...it seems to be subtly different from the Hecate's Kingdom of God she had seen before.

Selene has never had a detailed understanding of Hecate's Kingdom of God, so she doesn't know at this moment whether Hecate's Frost-covered City is indeed very different from the real Frost-covered city, or is it that she reproduced it now? Frost-covered city more than ten years ago.

It wasn't until Selene saw the old stables in front of the castle that she realized that this was the Frosted City in her memory.Hecate had access to her mind, and in the depths of the memory, he saw Selene's childhood memories, and created the place where Selene remembered her growing up.

The frost-covered city in the Kingdom of God is in deep winter, which makes Selene relax a little.She brushed the snowflakes off her shoulders and stepped carefully.

Then, Selene saw Hecate.She looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, her blond hair was messily tied behind her head, she was carrying a bow and arrow, and she was riding on the back of a fierce war horse. She seemed to be running around in the open space in front of the castle impatiently.

"Slow!" she called out, reining in the reins. "Selene!"

Selene saw another self in the Kingdom of God coming out of the castle, smiling and comforting Hecate while going to the stable to find a horse for herself.

According to the current information, what Hecate is building in the Kingdom of God is a parallel world where she has never left her motherland.

"How is the situation in Nagrand? You have been helping father deal with it a while ago, right?" Hecate let his horse move closer to Selene, "If we can't reach an agreement or make a compromise with Nagrand, It's better to fight them directly, anyway, we will definitely not lose!"

"Winning or losing is not up to you, Hecate." "Selene" in the Kingdom of God explained patiently, "Even in the Kingdom of Nord, you can't use force casually."

"What a hassle." Hecate muttered softly. "It's easier to hunt."

"If everything could be as simple as hunting, I wouldn't need to learn so many things." Selene took out a feathered arrow from the quiver behind Hecate and put it on the bow, aiming at the bird that was diving in the sky, "...It actually missed."

"Because you have too little practice in this area." Seeing that his arrow accurately hit the bird that Selene failed to aim just now, Hecate whistled triumphantly, "It's better for us to divide the work and cooperate, you Do what you're good at, and I'll do what I'm good at."

The two chatted all the way, and went to the forest not far away - that was the place where Selene used to go hunting with her father.

"She is immersed in the dream that she imagined for herself." The God of Light made himself appear in Hecate's spiritual world through magic, "The spiritual world has completely relaxed its vigilance against the outside world... even I can Come in easily."

"Do you want Phoebe and the others to take Hecate to another place first? If Hussein takes advantage of this moment to attack..."

"No, the speed of time passing here is different from that of the outside world. No matter how long it has passed, it is actually just a few seconds outside. And..."

"and?"

"And Hecate is not the only one who is afraid." The God of Light smiled meaningfully, "Hussein is probably hiding in the basement, anxiously waiting for his magic to completely erode Hecate's spiritual world. But the God of Continent The Kingdom of God will not be disturbed by him so easily."

"In other words, the current state is purely Hecate's own wish. As long as she wakes up from this dream, she will return to normal, right?"

"Yes. But it's difficult." The God of Light said slowly, "No matter how strong a person is, there will be times when they are weak. When they close themselves in a dream, it will only be more difficult to wake up than ordinary people."

"God of Light, as Hecate just said, she does what she is good at, and I do what I am good at." Selene followed the footprints on the snow to the forest in the distance, "This is what I am good at one."
