Ice and snow world

A good night's sleep, Elsa finally enjoyed the most peaceful night since leaving the imperial capital. Although the beginning was not so perfect, the ending was good.

Elsa took the map to compare the road to go. The crisis last night made her lose her way, but it was much easier when the sun rose.Mr. Skeleton was beside her sleepily, using a dagger to cut through the obstructing short logs, and complained in a low voice: "Poor Mr. Skeleton didn't get enough sleep, it would make his bones dull. The most embarrassing thing in the world of skeletons"

"Isn't the most embarrassing thing when you find yourself without a heart when you are sad?" Elsa has become accustomed to Eric's strange thinking and has the ability to fight back, which greatly increases the fun of her journey.

Eric caressed his forehead and looked unsteady: "Oh~ Mr. Skeleton's heart has been hit. Do little girls now enjoy attacking old people? Although I am also curious, why would a skeleton without a heart [live] As he said that, he unbuttoned his chest, inserted his hand bones into the ribs on his chest, and poked around, until he couldn't touch anything in the end, so he could only put on his clothes.

Glancing at the strange appearance of Mr. Skeleton, Elsa waved the map in her hand as usual: "I have found the way. If you can't find the reason why you are alive without a heart, can you tell me how you [lived] first, old man Skeleton .”

Shocked by the title Elsa brought back to deal with him, Mr. Skeleton's skeleton began to tremble. Although Elsa couldn't see the emotion from the bones, if he had a face, Elsa felt that he should be biting his lip and looking aggrieved.

"Okay well, our dear Elsa is not as gentle as she looks. Since you want to hear it, let the great skeleton poet tell you." Eric spread his hands, twirled and jumped onto the stone, took off his hat and respected He saluted and started his performance.

"The hot desert, the traveler on the road, the camel bells jingling. The old man and the child wept for their misery, and the young men of the family went to that battlefield and took part in the killing called war. Finally, the land cracked and dried up, and the dead forest drove out life. "

Eric looked into the distance, walking in the forest, his hand bones scratched the tree trunks, and his deep male voice was brewing a storm:

"Dark forests, clear waters, a new chance to live. Ah, we can take root here, said the old man. The children took off their shoes and socks, danced the fairy dance, and enjoyed the last gift. However, night fell , They were all devoured. The howling of wolves stole the dream, panicked, screamed in pain, no one escaped, darkness fell on the land."

Elsa walked slowly along the road, but was attracted by the scene in his mouth, remembered the ferocity of werewolves, and gradually knew the reason for their death.

"The traveling wizard came here, the light of the crystal ball guides the soul, and the track of the card lays under the feet. Dead people, find your destination, the wizard said so. Then, the reborn life is no longer complete, without warmth And the smell, I can no longer smell the fragrance of flowers. But, we are still alive, let's live like this"

Stopping, Elsa looked up at Mr. Skeleton, who was half hugging the tree trunk. The high tone of her voice made her unable to guess what was going on in his heart. Was he really happy with this kind of life that lived and died?

"That's it, we're all [lived]." Eric ended the chanting with a normal narration.

"Old man and children, are you alive? But you are not a child or an old man" Elsa pointed out the loophole in his libretto.

Eric waved his hands, the bones all over his body were crackling, which was a little scary, but he seemed to enjoy it: "Oh, Elsa, don't you know that skeletons can grow up too?"

"Sorry, you mean, the skeleton grew up? You've grown from a child to an adult, are you kidding me?" Elsa couldn't believe such a message.

"No one said no, if you weren't in a hurry to get out of the forest, I'd like to take you to our house for a while. You know, no living person has been here for a long time, and they will be very happy..."

Before Eric finished speaking, Elsa continued: "Dear Mr. Skeleton, can you invite me to your house?"

"..."

In the end, the compromised old Eric with only bones left could only take Elsa to their paradise, a piece of mushroom land.

Big and small mushrooms occupy a piece of land in the forest. Elsa has never seen such a scene. The tallest mushroom is much taller than her, not like a mushroom but like a small house.Although he was very interested in the mushroom field, there was no skeleton like Eric here, which made Elsa look at him suspiciously.

"Okey, okey, it's me, come out!" Eric waved his arms and patted the mushroom head beside him. The mushroom that was about the same height as him was shaken, but there was no sound to respond to him, which made him look a little embarrassed, "Look I need a little proof, ahem, I’m going to start singing, I’m really going to start singing.”

Before Eric could sing the first note, a child-like skeleton sprang out from behind the mushroom, and the whole skeleton pressed him down. As a result, both skeletons fell to the ground, and some parts even fell out of joint.

After Elsa was surprised at first, she was no longer surprised, and even nodded and smiled at the other skeletons who hesitated to step forward.

"Oh, little guy, you're gaining weight again. I don't know why you've gained weight without any flesh." Eric couldn't help but complained and stood up, handing over the little guy's fallen hand bone, but The missing little finger bone could not be found.

"I think you need this" Elsa picked up the bone from her foot and handed it over, adding, "Don't let the wolf take it away"

"Wolf?! Eric, you said it's not dangerous to go out." The girl's soft voice was replaced by worried sharpness. The skeleton in peasant clothes should be a girl according to the attire, and Elsa couldn't tell the gender of a bone.

Eric was being questioned severely by her, and the girl was nagging and slapping his skull. The slapping of the hand bones and the skull was quite rhythmic. Elsa watched this scene without pressure, until the cute Mr. Skeleton threw a suspicious look for help, She coughed lightly and helped him: "In fact, he proved with his actions that he is capable of protecting himself."

"Really?" Miss Skull looked at Eric with her hands on her hips, but in the next second she realized who was speaking just now, a living human being, which made her shrink her hands nervously, "Why are there living people, there are living people?" Man, why didn't you tell me!"

Elsa was a little surprised by her reaction, if it wasn't for the next sentence, she would have thought she was not popular.

"Oh, I was so rude just now, hello, I'm Qearl, I love you so much, oh no, I mean, I'm so happy to meet you" Obviously different from what Elsa thought, Miss Skeleton's enthusiasm It seems to be born with it, very similar to Anna.

Thinking of this, Elsa's expression softened: "I'm Elsa, nice to meet you."

"Did you hear that, she said she was very happy to meet me, this feeling is so good, oh, I mean, I am also very happy to meet you" Qearl stomped his feet excitedly, seeing Elsa stretching out her hand patiently, carefully He stretched out his hand bone and shook it, "wow, it turns out that human hands are so soft, so happy"

Eric finally recovered from the blow just now, straightened the hat on his head and walked to Elsa: "Qearl heard, I rescued our beautiful Elsa from the fangs of werewolves, so she is willing to come to our home , the outside world is not dangerous to me at all.”

"Are you sure it wasn't Elsa who saved you? The bones in your body are the favorite of puppies." Qearl folded his arms and glanced at Eric, seeming to take pleasure in hitting him, and then added: "And what you said outside Your world is limited to this forest, so I don’t need to remind you.”

"Why?" Elsa interjected suspiciously.

"Because we are dead, neither the soul nor the skeleton of the dead can be exposed to the sun." An old voice came from behind the crowd, and the skeletons automatically gave way to a path, and the old skeleton leaned on a bone crutch and walked slowly Come.

"This is Grandpa Max, our patriarch, so the parent of the child." Seeing his arrival, Qearl finally regained his composure and introduced in a low voice beside Elsa.

Elsa saluted the patriarch Max, and glanced over Eric with his head bowed, and suddenly had an idea in her mind: "If it's about sunlight, I don't know if this cloak can help you." She gave it to Loki Handing out the black cloak, she always felt that the cloak made by Loki's magic would not be so simple.

Not disappointing her, the gloomy light in the old skull's eyes brightened, and a somewhat excited voice came: "Oh, yes, the perfect black magic, which cuts off breath and sunlight. If there is him, our children can walk out of this land up"

"I'm glad it can help you, but I only have one, so I can't get everyone out of here." Elsa explained apologetically, her ice magic could not protect them from the sun.

"My old bones are not suitable for walking around, I'd better cultivate myself." The old skeleton sat on the little mushroom beside him, and didn't intend to take this place.

"You can't sleep late when you go out, I don't want it" Qearl chose without hesitation and made other skeletons make excuses one after another. In the end, only Eric looked at them blankly.

Qearl put his foot on his calf bone: "Hey, what are you doing in a daze, quickly put away the cloak, we are going to prepare for Elsa's welcome party tonight, celebrating the first human we met, don't even think about running away."

"Of course, I'm the only poet in the party, who else can sing for you besides me?" Eric only stayed for a while before returning to his best state.It's a pity that the skeletons obviously didn't appreciate it. Except for Elsa who stayed where she was, covering her mouth and suppressing her smile, the other skeletons scattered to do their own things.

The author has something to say:

Congratulations to the player Elsa for entering the Skeleton Land and completing the task of getting to know the Skeleton crowd for the first time. The reputation of the Skeleton has reached Friendly.The next chapter, the Skeleton Mission.

[When I was writing the manuscript last night, I heard friends in Kunming talk about the riots in Kunming, so I added a chapter to mourn the victims and pray for the victims. I hope that friends who have not found their families can hear the good news]
