Ice and snow world

The Ferrol Desert is in the middle of the world map. According to the map, the center of the desert is occupied by dwarves, but the dwarves don't know that there is a treasure in the center of the world behind them.

The three of Elsa, Loki, and Tacy walked together on this vast sandy soil for several days. During the day, the scorching sun above the head made the land radiate scorching heat, and the sand dunes under their feet were soft and difficult to walk.Whenever Elsa put down the skirt she was carrying and looked up at the sun to find the direction, she always felt in a trance that this road had no end.

The road is becoming more and more blurred in the wind and sand, giving others the illusion of being lost at any time. Fortunately, Elsa and Loki are not ordinary people. They can walk across the ocean and will not be afraid of this natural difficulty.But this is not an easy thing for Tacy, Elsa often sees behind Loki, Tacy's tired but struggling expression.

The biggest problems in the desert are water and sandstorms. The former is no longer a problem as long as there is Elsa’s ice and snow. Although Tacy’s ability is the same, it will consume her mental power, so she did not try to make ice into water.

However, sandstorms are also a problem for them.

When Loki watched the grayness of the sky gradually appear, he noticed a change in the air, and a sandstorm was coming. When Loki uttered that word, Elsa decisively iced the ground under her feet, and swung her arms around, emitting a circle of cold air. The round low house was big enough for three people to take shelter.

By the time the three of them entered the transparent low house, the scorching sun had been covered by the tumbling clouds, and the raging storm rolled up the sand and dust, blowing the sand on the ice, and the loud noise made Elsa feel that the igloo could not protect them.Thinking of this, she seemed to be able to feel the vibration of the igloo, and stretched out her hand to cover the ice wall to strengthen the ice layer.

"Is there any problem with the operation of the sandstorm when it is used on ice and snow?" Loki's question made Elsa's tense emotions a little bit. On Ice Magic....

Dry palms covered the back of Elsa's hand, Loki stood behind her in a very familiar way, the two figures almost overlapped, the icy cold spread on the back of Elsa's hand, and suddenly violent ice magic swirled from outside the igloo.The tiny wind and snow revolved around the igloo, driving part of the sandstorm to reverse into a ball, wrapping the igloo safely in the wind and snow.

"Success" Elsa's joy was reflected on her face, but the moment she lowered her head, she saw the dark blue arm, subconsciously turned her head to look at Loki, the gradually fading palm covered her eyes, and the man's gaze came from the terrified girl beside her. Skimming his face, he whispered to the woman in his arms:

"It will pass soon, you rest for a while"

The sandstorm quickly dissipated in the distant desert, and Elsa couldn't tell whether Loki was talking about the fading of his original face, or the disastrous weather.It's worth noting that Tacy doesn't know why Loki is being kept at a distance.

Fortunately, the sandstorm did not make them lose their way in the desert, but blew out the "signposts" under the dunes.

Elsa took a step back and held Tacy's trembling hand. Loki looked at the small dirt bumps exposed in the sand in front of him. An aura of uneasiness spread in his heart until the dirt bumps shrunk and sunken, and the vortices gradually expanded from small to large. It sinks like quicksand, devouring the flat sand.

Like Loki, Elsa pulled Tacy and the three of them to run, avoiding the growing vortex, and the sand under their feet was gradually becoming soft.Elsa didn't run until the road in front of her was no longer obstructed by the vortex. Elsa turned back to look at the original place. The small vortexes were gone, replaced by a huge vortex. The sand in the center of the vortex rolled out dust, and a dark shadow could be vaguely seen crawling out of the land.

While the three of them ran to a high hill, Elsa created an ice ladder, pushed Tacy to the ice, jumped off herself, and raised the black cloak beside her, and the three of them slid down the sand dune along the track of the ice ladder , Gliding forward for a certain distance with the momentum, the three stopped until they could no longer see the vortex behind them.

"What was that just now?"

"Whatever it is, our destination seems to have been reached"

Elsa looked in the direction Loki's finger was pointing, and the earthen houses loomed behind the wind and sand, which should be the dwarven land they were looking for.But neither the original adventurers nor today's Loki obviously wanted to have any contact with them, so they still decided to rest on the edge of the Gobi near the dwarven land.

When Elsa and Loki took a few steps forward, they found that Tacy hadn't followed. When they turned around, they found the girl was squatting on the ground and clutching her ankles. They seemed to get up hurriedly, but staggered and were about to fall down. Loki frowned and reached out to her, but the girl's hesitation made him sneer mockingly and turn to go first.

Elsa helped Tacy up from behind, seeming to understand something: "You liked him before that, right?"

The girl's hands trembled, and her grip on Elsa's palm increased, and a weak and clear voice came to her ears: "Elsa, I'm glad you're not his wife. But I found that even though I'm an ice mage, I Can't reach your height, I can't do what you can. And, he doesn't look human, I mean, I don't know if I insist on following in his footsteps, is the right choice."

"Maybe you should think about it, what is your choice, is there any reason why you have to follow him?" Elsa helped her to sit in the shadow by the Gobi, and added, "Do you still like him? Even if he's not human."

Not what Elsa expected, Tacy did not stick to her [love], but shook her head: "Yes, I won't. Elsa, my truth is, my love is not pure, and half of the reason is to follow him, It was Grandpa's request."

"Why would he make such a request? We are just passers-by. Even now, he hasn't paid us for our mission, and it's considered as rent." Elsa made a small joke, which finally made the girl face happy. smiled.

"I asked about grandpa's intentions, and he told me that if I can become a complete ice mage during this experience, I will be valued. It's just that my mother told me later that in grandpa's mind, there is still hope, With the information in Loki's hands, it seems important that he guessed your goals. Mother also thought that it might not be a bad thing for you to go away, and it turns out she was right."

"Our goal is freedom, do you think it's important?" Elsa looked at Loki's back and asked the girl, "Any plans for the future?"

Tacy also looked at Loki, the light in his eyes regained: "I want to follow you for a while until I figure out one thing."

Elsa didn't ask further, she was not familiar with love, the girl's current state was different from before, she should be able to handle this situation well, but Loki's attitude towards this matter made Elsa unable to guess.

"If you guys plan to chat here until the evening, then I think we will be in trouble soon." Loki's reminder made Elsa look sideways, and figures appeared beside the houses in the distance. If they guessed right, they should have found three whereabouts of people.

Bypassing the dwarves from the other side of the Gobi, the three of them walked sideways with their bodies low. Whether it was before or now, contact with the dwarves would delay their actions, not to mention that the dwarves didn't look friendly.

It's just that the sky didn't work out, and when dwarves appeared around them, Elsa began to admit that Loki was right, and she couldn't like dwarves either.Facing the sharp blades of the spears, Loki said nothing abnormally, but raised his hands and retreated to Elsa's side, letting the dwarf's chains bind them.

What awaited them was the prison of the dwarves.

The author has something to say:
