61.

Dorothy's judgment is not wrong. As one of the protagonists of the fairy tale, she naturally has some aura.

And as an outstanding adventurer, she also has her own pride, plus she is not the kind of protagonist at the beginning of the story, but an outstanding one who has experienced many things and has a "title" at the end of the story. main character.

Sure enough, Dorothy took her to find one of the key items.

She took the initiative to pick up the shiny thing, and when she touched it, she let out a surprised "Huh".

"What's wrong?" Anna was a little nervous, worried that she would be in danger.

"Hmm... just for a moment, I feel a little... uncomfortable? But it doesn't have a big impact!"

Dorothy comforted her, and said:

"But this thing may have some dark power, residual?"

"Be careful when you take it, can you identify it?"

Dorothy knew that Anna had relevant skills. In their eyes, the lord seemed to be omnipotent.

Anna took it carefully, the north wind was still blowing outside.

【Ding--】

[The system prompts that you have found the **** fragment (0/?), please explore carefully. 】

Anna was taken aback for a moment, but she didn't expect that the system would prompt the system to explore carefully.

Beware of what?Is it slippery?

Anna looked at the unattractive shard in her hand, and asked her to say that it might be a shard of a mirror, which would have such a reflection——

Wait, mirror?

Anna frowned, feeling that things were a bit difficult.

It's not what she thinks it is, is it?

"Let's go to the place I just discovered!"

Anna made the final decision, and Dorothy didn't have any other opinions or suggestions, so she just followed to another place about ten meters away.

The snow has reached the knees, and it is very difficult to walk. Fortunately, they are wearing magic equipment. The metal knight boots are the warm core of the snow boots. Although it is a bit heavy, it is very strong when you step on it. And it will not seep water and snow, and it will keep warm inside, and the attributes of the suit are also good.

"Another mirror shard!"

Unlike Anna, Dorothy directly judged that it was a mirror shard, and the identification showed that there was dark power remaining in it.

Anna then used an appraisal.

【Piece of *****-**item】

Health bar: none

Blue bar: none

Description: This is one of the fragments of ****. It originally belonged to **** and was later owned by ****. It was shattered because of **** and is currently being sold.

"Dog system."

She cursed in her heart.

"It seems that we need to find them all..." Anna paused, "We may not be able to find all of them, but anyway, this is a special item, so we may not be able to find all of them, but in the end...we have other things in our territory."

"I understand." Dorothy nodded solemnly, and she didn't know what dark forces' invasion and conspiracy she had imagined. Her expression was so serious that Anna didn't know how to answer.

Dorothy and Anna braved the huge blizzard together, looking for the unknown debris in the village, and went to find the source of the blizzard along the way.

Another two hours passed, counting the time, it was already the early morning of the next day, but the sky was still pitch black, with no light at all, and it didn't seem like it would clear up.

"Do you think..." Dorothy began uncertainly.

Anna is still trying to see if the five fragments they found can fit together.

The wind and snow outside were too strong, and the two of them exhausted their physical strength very quickly, so they had to find an abandoned house that hadn't collapsed and looked barely solid to hide from the wind and snow.

"I always feel that the center of the blizzard keeps changing..."

"Is it intuition?" Anna tried for a long time, but could only determine that this fragment should come from a large mirror, and the fragments that were broken apart were much more than the five pieces they collected.

"What kind of debris could this be?" Anna seemed more curious about this matter, "I can't directly judge the center of the snowstorm...but we can find out where the snowstorm is bigger..."

"That's true." Dorothy nodded.

"Did you find anything about this fragment?"

"These fragments seem to have some special abilities..." Anna checked the system notification, and found that several times the [Bewitching] state was directly defended by her because it was too weak to be triggered.

"The dark power in it may have some bewitching effects, but it may be because both of us have pure hearts, or some of the magic defense effects of our own equipment are very good, and the magic resistance is high, so we are not affected."

"Is that so..."

Although Dorothy felt something was wrong when she touched the mirror shards at first, she was indeed not affected by this little bit of dark power.

She is an adventurer who defeated one of the evil witches of the west, is a recognized excellent magician, and has many title bonuses with positive effects.

This little bit of debris will not affect the two of them at all.

"You said..." Dorothy belatedly realized.

"Could someone have already been affected?"

"This snowy day..." Anna looked outside. The broken house can't keep out the wind and snow, but it's better than nothing. "No one should go out. I suspect the debris was brought by the wind and snow."

"I see." Dorothy nodded.

The two of them rested for about half an hour, supplemented by eating some food that was still hot in the space, and even though the effect of the wine was not great and could only provide the effect for 10 minutes, they still drank it.

"Almost, let's continue."

Anna packed all the things, and at the same time found a necklace from the package, and handed it to Dorothy.

"The gems in this necklace are quite special, and can resist some dark effects, especially for bewitching skills."

"Okay, I see." Dorothy was not polite either.

The two rearranged their clothes, and after confirming that they were correct, they walked through the villages in the first area, including the neighborhood where people lived. It took another hour and they found eight fragments in total.

Then they started walking towards the forest.

The forest is relatively difficult to find, and the area is also much larger.

However, the blizzard in the forest seemed to be a little bit bigger, and it might coincide with the center of the blizzard they were looking for, so they had to go there.

After killing a mad snake that didn't hibernate, a little red fox that became very ferocious, and a bird that refused to sleep and attacked them frantically, they gradually realized that something was wrong.

"Is it...they..." Dorothy looked hesitant.

"Purification——" Anna used a lot of purification skills on these small animals that were stunned by them. Facts have proved that the ability of the light attribute has an effect on them.

【Ding--】

[The system prompts that you have expelled the negative effects for the little fox caught in the special effect, obtained the hidden effect, and produced a special attribute change, click to view the details. 】

Anna raised her eyebrows, but Dorothy didn't see anything wrong, but then used skills on the remaining small animals.

After using divine magic to purify, a piece of debris would "fall out" from the side of these small animals, as if it had merged with the small animal, but it was only separated by divine magic.

Anna and Dorothy glanced at each other, and became more cautious about the fragment.

【Ding--】

[The system prompts that you have obtained relevant attribute changes, and some hidden values ​​will not be displayed unless you obtain special props. 】

[The system prompts that the available changes you have obtained are: the trust of animals in the animal kingdom +30, the prestige of the animal kingdom to animals +20, the deterrent power of the animal kingdom to animals +40; ****'s hatred value +50; ****'s curiosity +20. 】

"Let's be careful," Dorothy said cautiously.

"I know." Anna nodded. She had a few hatreds in her body, but she didn't have much emotional change. Compared with this "lose", she was more satisfied with her "gain".

The increase in prestige among small animals, including the increase in trust value, is very useful for her current territorial development, including future development.

This value is not easy to use, just like she used the favorability of King Lore. She tried to get it up from Maria, but the effect was more obvious after going up.

Some things belong to the hidden values ​​given by the system, such as the previous "instructor inspection", which are very implicit judgments, and there are many things that are not displayed.

The system is very tricky, but most of the things that can be displayed are useful, although they may not be useful now.

But she has Miss Judy in her territory, who is a lovely clerk assistant like Miss Rabbit. If Olan wants to take the path of all-round development, it will be better to have more advantages in this aspect.

If not, she would have to think of other ways, so Anna consciously regarded this action as a "dungeon", a rare opportunity to gain experience and prestige points.

The two searched harder and harder.

Both of them guessed that since the fragments have the ability to "fuse" in, maybe apart from the animals originally hidden in the forest, they may also directly affect humans, but no one has made major changes now.

The changes in small animals are more obvious, such as some frenzied behavior and aggression.

Anyway, most of the small animals that can roam around in such a blizzard are not normal.

Along the way, the two continued on, searching and chatting occasionally to make sure of each other's presence.

Not only did they find several small animals affected by the debris, but they also rescued a brood of moles that were about to freeze, and an egg that was said to be a "duck egg" that was hidden by the moles.

"This is your resource?" Anna was surprised.

"Food resources?"

"This doesn't look like a duck egg..." Dorothy grew up on a farm anyway, so she must have basic common sense. Anna couldn't identify the condition of this egg, and it seemed to be something special.

Mole's family of four, parents and two children, all know about it. If Anna hadn't saved them with magic, the whole family might have been frozen to death in the heavy snow.

"Come into my arms." Dorothy took the initiative to take the family into her warm embrace.

Most of the princess protagonists have some decent animal affinity, and the moles are willing to go to her arms.

"Isn't it a duck's egg?" asked Mother Mole.

"no."

"I don't think so either."

Anna and Dorothy answered at the same time.

"Oh, well..." Papa Mole looked a little disappointed, "Such a big egg, can't you eat it..."

"Did you freeze to death?" Mother Mole asked again.

"It's not like..." Anna covered it for a while, always feeling that the little guy inside was still alive, although it might be relatively weak.

In fact, it is because the only content she can identify shows——

【***-Hatching Period-**Organism】

HP: 20/999 (locked)

Blue bar: 10/100

grade:**

Description: *****, protected by the law of causality.

Life or things that can be protected by a certain law of causality are probably not very ordinary things.

Especially it seems that it is a special creature. Since it has one life, it probably still has energy, and its blood bar is also locked. In the game, it is a "lock blood hanger", the kind that cannot die.

"Leave it alone and see if it can be saved?" Dorothy suggested.

"Okay." Anna nodded. "At least it's a life. It happened to meet us in such a snowy day. Maybe it shouldn't die."

Anna thought about it, and put it in the pet space. Xiaohui, the ghost ball, was startled, but seeing an egg coming in, it looked curiously for a while, then ran away and continued to play by itself.

Anna didn't think about it any more, the focus now was on those debris and the damn blizzard.

At this time, the snow had reached above their knees.

If it wasn't for the fact that many trees in the woods were blown down, they would still be able to step on the branches and jump over them. Anna also had skills similar to "light kung fu", and Dorothy's own shoes were quite special, and she could also use magic. I'm afraid he has been stuck in the snow for a long time, unable to move an inch.

"How much?"

"It's 13 yuan."

"This number is really unlucky."

"Eh, why?" Anna paused, and then Dorothy answered.

"I heard that the thirteenth day is when the traitor appears."

Anna was taken aback, looked up at her, and almost blurted out:

"Where did you hear that?"

"Hey, I don't know..." Dorothy was stopped by the question. She is not from this world, but at the beginning, she also did some learning and understanding. She and her friends also walked Some places, but it ended up on the forest side of Oran, and was picked up by Anna.

"There seems to be a little bird..." Dorothy laughed.

"Such a gossip bird should be one of the storks. Only they retain the habit of passing on various deeds, especially gossip, from generation to generation. Except for those relics and bards, probably only these magical little creatures can know about it. ..."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Brother Mole also said at this time, "The couple of storks in our forest know the most gossip..."

"But they have already flown to the south, to Egypt...together with General Stork's team!" Sister Mole also spoke, and the last two children were suppressed by the Mole couple.

"Thirteen's taboo has become a habit..." Father Mole explained in a low voice, probably feeling that Anna's expression was subtle.

"But it seems that I really don't know when it started and why... Anyway, it's unlucky."

"It has something to do with the evil god of darkness!" Mother Mole also said, "Anyway, everyone avoids this number..."

"Then it's really not very good to find 13 yuan fragments..." Anna laughed. The system still didn't tell her how many fragments there were, so it was probably because the number was too small to trigger.

"I remember it was said by a female stork." Dorothy and Anna continued to search together, she remembered with difficulty.

"At that time, she seemed to be arguing with her husband or something, and there seemed to be children present... Oh, I remembered."

"What?" Anna asked curiously.

"The male and female storks were discussing the date of their daughter's 'marriage'. The male stork set a time, but the female stork vetoed it, saying that it was just thirteen days before the 'marriage proposal'. It was really unlucky and unfortunate. No, absolutely not on this day.”

"So storks also have this habit?" Anna smiled.

"Actually, moles have them too..." Mother Mole poked her head out, "Find a good day, build a house together, and have a new home... Isn't this a matter of course?"

"Yes." Anna nodded in agreement.

"and then?"

"And then?" Dorothy continued, "Actually, it didn't say anything, it just mentioned that on No. 13 days, the traitor appeared... Oh, the original words of the female stork were 'No. 13 days. It's a bad day when the traitor Iri shows up'."

"Ah..." Anna blinked, "'Iri'?"

"What's the matter?" Dorothy looked at her in surprise. "I remember the female stork said that name. Is there something wrong?"

"No," Anna shook her head, "I'm just very curious about what you said."

"Oh, by the way, I have to warn you—"

"What?" Dorothy turned her head to look at her, and jumped over the branches of trees lightly, like an elf. If it weren't for the huge snowstorm, it would have been a very cute scene.

"In the current history of the mainland, or in the version of the Temple of Light, there are no traitors."

"Huh?" Dorothy was a little unresponsive.

"According to what I have learned, there are actually eight of the legendary Seven Heroes."

Anna thought about it, and explained to her that sooner or later someone from the Temple of Light would come to their territory. Although she was not afraid of anything, and she would not be afraid, it was better to have one more thing than one less thing.

What's more, other people don't know a little bit, only Dorothy, who knows a little bit but doesn't know what "horrible" things she knows, is easy to cause fear.

Anna was afraid that one day she would slip up or something. Of course, she fully believed that Dorothy was not the kind of person who would say something behind her back, but if she didn't remind her, it was inevitable that she would ignore it without paying attention.

"However, in any history book, including the general history of the mainland, and the external statements of the Temple of Light, there is no such eighth person."

"As you said, the traitor Yili may be the eighth person. Of course, I don't have any evidence, and I haven't heard what the female stork said."

"But I think there are eight of the legendary Seven Heroes, and the eighth person betrayed during the final battle. Combined with what you said, that is, at the critical moment of the great war between light and darkness, the eight of the Seven Heroes Inside, on No. 13 days, the traitor Yili appeared..."

Anna reminded in a low voice.

"This kind of thing probably belongs to some kind of secret that is not outsider."

"At least, it may be dangerous for ordinary people to know. After all, the existence of traitors... Generally speaking, it shouldn't be more critical, or something, but obviously the seven brave men were betrayed, and they belonged to the group who ate a lot during the final battle. Lost or secretly lost, as a result, there is no record in later generations."

"Could it be that this person has made a lot of contributions..." Dorothy continued to speculate instead.

"The credit and the final fault are offset? So there is no record?"

"But..." Anna asked, "If there is no help from the God of Light in the end, and the existence of the last God of Light and the Goddess of Creation, the situation can be stabilized, or the side of the Light is strong enough to survive the backstab. Under the circumstances, it should be more critical, even more hateful..."

"That's true." Dorothy nodded, "It's really strange... so strange!"

"It's really interesting!" There was a little more smile on her face, and she seemed even more curious.

"Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense!"

"Right, the whole Mole family?" She touched the little four in her arms, "If you talk nonsense, you might be killed?!"

"I won't talk nonsense!"

The four little moles expressed their loyalty one after another.

Anna also knows their temperaments, they all seem to be honest and responsible, even the slightly lively brother Mole and sister Mole are also very obedient.

Anna and the others saved them again. They have saved their lives. They will not talk nonsense and bring disaster to them, unlike the stork race, which has the "nature" and "habit" of passing gossip.

"No. 14 pieces!" Anna's eyes were sharp, and she was the first to discover the fragments hidden in the treetops over there.

This piece was hidden very strangely, it just happened to be stuck on a branch, if they didn't often look up and down, looking around carefully, maybe they really missed it.

"I'll get it, you can meet it below."

Anna said to Dorothy.

"Good!" Dorothy nodded.

This tree is very tall, with several floors. Although there are no leaves, the dry branches are still like swords, sticking straight into the ground.

Anna turned on the skills related to rock climbing, just in case the skills of climbing trees were always on.

As soon as she climbed the tree, she knew it was not good.

The wind is very strong, especially at high places. Most importantly, although the tree is flexible, it is not strong. It will be broken sooner or later. Once it bears the weight of a person, something will happen.

"Get it before it breaks..."

He has already climbed the tree, and it is impossible to retreat now, Anna encouraged herself in her heart.

She had climbed up quickly, all eyes on the self-luminous thing stuck between the branches.

But before she could catch the shards, Dorothy suddenly called out to her to be careful——

Anna suddenly felt something was wrong, the surrounding wind seemed a little subtle, and after a pause for a moment, the wind and snow suddenly increased.

She raised her head subconsciously, only to see a person in a snow-white robe sitting on a sled just above their heads.

"What?!" She was taken aback for a moment, and the next second she saw the big sleigh pulled by four strong reindeer coming straight towards her.

"System, turn on combat state!"

Anna reacted subconsciously, and equipped the weapon in the shortest possible time, and wrapped a whip around one part of the sled when the sled directly scraped down the treetops in this area.

She noticed that the man didn't pay any attention to her in the tree, just reached out and picked up the debris, and the sled continued on.

Under the inertia, Anna was suspended and flew forward for a while.

Surprisingly, there was no such huge snowstorm around her, or around the sled, which also gave her some room to play.

"Fire Dragon!"

"hurricane!"

Anna unceremoniously stopped the sled with two skills.

After his blood bar dropped by at least three thousand points.

"Anna!" she heard Dorothy coming at great speed.

Dorothy knows magic, but the magic will always be exhausted, so they were all mortal bodies before, but now that something happened, she changed the magic and flew over.

Anna was still in the fighting state, she looked at the other party, and was surprised that even if the other party was "joined as an enemy" by her, it still did not display the relevant values.

【*****-*****】

Health bar: *****/*****

Blue bar:*****/*****

grade:*****

Identity: Woman driving a sleigh in a blizzard looking for debris; *****

Skill:*****

state:*****

camp:*****

Dorothy came quickly, and was already at her side.

Both of them were surprised to see that the one sitting on the sled was not wearing a white cloak, but was simply wearing a veil made of white snow. The veil was blown up by the wind and fluttered like snow. It's Bai Xue.

Her entire body is not as white as a human being, her skin is the purest white snow color, and even a little transparent, which is a completely different concept from Maria's snow-like skin.

She's like a real "iceman" made of snow and ice, even though she's not.

Only then did she open her eyes, and put the fragments she had just taken from the treetops into a velvet bag embroidered with ice flower patterns beside her.

"..." She just stared at the two of them.

Anna didn't realize that she had fighting intentions, nor did she have any similar hostility, as if the other party really saw them just now.

Now, she didn't know what to say.

"Who are you?" Anna took the initiative to ask, while Dorothy remained vigilant and prepared for battle.

"I am the lord of Oran, Anastasia, who are you?"

Anna spoke very slowly, using the common language of the mainland.

The other party blinked his eyes, as if he had just realized it, the woman made of ice and snow suddenly showed a smile.

How can I say this smile?

Not very glamorous, but very stunning.

Although there is still a bit of the "sense of imitation" that seems to be caused by robots trying to make a human look, there is no doubt that this is a very beautiful smile with a certain bewitching meaning but no evil or desire.

Anna and Dorothy looked at each other.

"It looks like she's a little bit different from us."

Dorothy said it very conservatively, but she has seen the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Talking Lion, and all kinds of strange lives, so she can understand the flat reaction to the Ice Beauty.

"Can you...communicate?"

Anna started to have a headache, do I need sign language to communicate?

"Yes..." Fengxue sent her voice.

The voice of the ice and snow beauty on the sled has a different kind of ethereal feeling, but this feeling is more "inhuman", which aggravates her special attribute that does not belong to human beings.

Anna frowned, then looked at the other party again.

"I am the queen of the northern kingdom..." Maybe it was because the voice was brought by the wind or something, but her tone was always very slow, and the slowness of speaking was not the same as that of Mr. Silver Coin.

Mr. Yinbi will give people a sense of slow thinking, as if he is a bit cute and cute. Like the mermaid prince, he speaks slowly, but his thinking is not slow, but he seems not familiar with human language.

But the Queen of the North spoke with a different kind of slowness.

It was as if the sound had reached my ears, and it still smelled like wind and snow after a long distance.

Extraordinary.

It's hard to forget after listening to it.

Of course, it belongs to the special and pleasant hexagram.

Anna and Dorothy looked at each other again, and Dorothy put away her fighting stance.

"People call me...Ice Queen...I do have...Ice blood...dominating"

"...I was looking for something lost just now..." she explained.

"I'm sorry I didn't see you... It's more convenient for me to use my perception than my eyes... I've been focusing on searching..."

"What are you looking for?"

Dorothy spoke suddenly.

"Shards." She didn't make a fool of herself either, probably because she realized that the two of them also knew this.

"Near here, the devil shattered a very wicked mirror..."

"Devil?" Anna was surprised, "Are there any devils in this world?"

"A kind of dark creature..." she replied with a misty voice, "It should have been suppressed in the northern kingdom...I have been working so hard all this time...the devil will deceive people...I don't resist darkness, nor do I admire light... ..."

"But the existence of the devil has caused my territory to lose order..."

The reindeer gnawed at the snow peacefully, making a small sound.

"I have been suppressing..."

"Until hundreds of years ago...a devil left with the same evil 'mirror upside down'..."

"After leaving the Northland, it caused great chaos... Then, when the devil was arrogantly trying to take revenge on me, we fought..."

"At the critical moment, the devil tried to use the mirror to deal with me...but he let go..."

"The mirror was shattered, and the fragments were scattered all over the land..."

"I've been looking for the shards of the mirror..."

"I have to recycle them."

Now, even if Anna didn't know, she should know.

Isn't this another fairy tale "Snow White"?

However, the background of the story has been changed, and the detailed content has been changed, which is more in line with the essence of this comprehensive world.

In the original fairy tale world, the Snow White Queen belonged to an unknown or even evil person, but now it seems that she is still a reliable queen?

Although the movement of her collecting fragments is too loud, and the posture of fighting the devil is also a bit scary.

Still, she still knows how to clean up the mess, even if she seems to have caused more consequences than the debris.

"My respected master of the Northern Kingdom, the Ice Queen," Anna treated her with due courtesy, "Excuse me, is this fragment what you are looking for?"

Anna took the initiative to hand over the 13 yuan pieces they found. The No. 14 piece was taken by the Snow Queen herself, but the rest are here.

She showed a slight surprise-like emotion, which was much more real than her smile, and then accepted it, combining the fragments with the ones she had collected.

"What is the effect of the fragments? How many?"

Dorothy asked.

"That mirror, like its name, is a mirror that reverses black and white. Its only function is to turn black into white and beautiful into ugly."

"The devil used that mirror to confuse many people, turned kindness into evil, and plunged many small countries into chaos..."

"After the mirror is broken, the original effect has disappeared, but the fragment itself contains evil magic power, including..."

"The fragments can be integrated into the body of intelligent life, which is not easy to detect. This is one of its defense mechanisms..."

"The part that is fused with fragments will change its essence, and if it falls into the heart, it will become another terrifying appearance..."

"Good people can be made evil, or simple people can be complicated..."

"But people's hearts are inherently complicated..." Dorothy subconsciously said.

"So, it's a little more pronounced in animals."

The Snow Queen seemed to be smiling, but she didn't.

"I'm looking forward to seeing...if someone can resist such a magic power..."

The following words seemed to be lost in the wind and snow, and neither of them heard clearly.

It can only be seen that the Ice Queen is not as pure and kind as she seems, but it is not accurate to say that she is a villain.

To say the least, although what she did was a bit "confused", it was a good thing anyway.

If it has to be described, it may be because she is not a human being, so many behavioral standards are not in accordance with human beings.

Just like some intelligent races, they always have their own habits.

For example, the seven dwarfs like mining more than others, and they even live near here, even though they have dug a lot of ore and even look very rich.

"In terms of fragments... Actually, I don't know how many..." The Snow Queen explained.

"It's too much. I've already found 23 yuan, plus your 13 yuan, now it's 36 yuan..."

"But maybe fifty or so... maybe more..."

"Did it all fall on Oran?!" Anna was shocked.

She cared more about her territory, and she felt even more insecure when she thought that this snowstorm would last for so long and there were so many debris left outside.

"Can this blizzard stop for a while?"

Dorothy spoke her heart.
