[Illusion City] Critical Water

Stepping into the main hall of Renxue City, I radiated spiritual power from my whole body, feeling the surrounding layout.After a long while, I finally let go of my vigilance—it was constructed entirely on the basis of beauty and momentum, without any practical skills.Originally, I was worried that if the ice king had any moves, it would be difficult to escape.

I walked in front of the Ice King, the azure blue Ice Throne glowed with a cold light, and the ice king's stern face was set off even more majestic.I folded my hands on my chest and saluted the Ice King, but I couldn't hide my scrutiny.Then, I saw the approval in the eyes of the Ice King.

My mother-in-law came out from behind the screen and looked at me lovingly. "Lianlin, get up quickly."

I stood up and asked calmly, "My lord, is there anything you asked me to come here?"

"Yes. Have you heard the rumors near the Endless Sea recently?" Bing Wang asked tentatively.

"I know a thing or two." I thought about it for a while, "It's the coastal area of ​​the Endless Sea. Two Ice Tribes stayed there in the early morning of seven days ago, but they were swallowed by the sea water, and there was no news after that. As a result, at dusk yesterday, When the tide went out, they were found dismembered and scattered on the beach, with only flesh and bones left."

Bing Wang asked: "Do you think this matter is true or false?"

I replied flatly: "The true cannot become the false, and the false cannot become true, and speculation is meaningless. However, this matter is too strange. When the situation is unclear, it is better to suppress it first, so as not to cause panic. "

Bing Wang said: "Assume it is true first, and you can bring up any suspicious things you think."

"Yes." I stretched out a finger, "First, regardless of the reasons for the two Ice tribesmen to go to the endless sea, how could they be drawn into the sea for no reason just as Ice tribesmen. I believe that As long as it is not a waste, it is impossible." I stretched out the second finger, "The second is to dismember the limb. If it is killed by the enemy, this will be too conspicuous, and it will bring disaster to yourself. Therefore, exclude If the other party has a special habit of killing people for pleasure, there is only one possibility—intimidation, creating white terror. And the object of intimidation...near the Endless Sea, may be the mermaid tribe. But the mermaid tribe has nothing to do with the world, as if It’s useless. It’s better to ask the mermaid clan about the specific situation, but this will never be something glorious, and I think it’s unlikely to be able to ask.”

"Lianlin, this king looks at you with admiration now." Bing Wang stood up, "As a woman, she has such a meticulous thinking."

"Thanks to the king's praise."

The Ice King returned to a serious look, "Lianlin, I have now ordered you to be the special envoy of the Ice Clan to go to the Endless Coast to investigate this matter."

"Yes, I will fulfill my mission."

Ice King signaled me to sit down, I saluted and walked to the VIP seats to sit down, and heard Ice King said slowly: "After this incident happened seven days ago, there is no more news about it. Some rumors are probably The people of the ethnic group made it up by themselves, which is not very credible, and I don’t know what the special envoy thinks.”

I said lightly: "The truth is often hidden in rumors. Not all rumors are groundless. They must have been derived from knowing some clues. King, there is a need for investigation."

"That's right." Bing Wang nodded, "This matter is urgent, I wonder when is the best time to start in your opinion?"

"Tomorrow." I glanced at my mother-in-law, and my eyes turned cold.Those who once betrayed can no longer be trusted.

As much as I tried to avoid seeing my mother-in-law, I couldn't.

At night, I repeatedly counted the things to bring and sat on the roof in a daze.The mother-in-law stood outside the castle and looked around, her lips parted slightly. From the shape of her mouth, I could see that she was calling my name: Lian Lin.I took a deep breath, clasped my ring finger to attract wind and snow, my mother-in-law's hair and robe were blown up, but I still stood there, looking at me lovingly.

It seems that I didn't feel the alienation I deliberately expressed at all.

I reinforced the barrier around [Critical Water] again.If I hadn't lifted it myself, no one would have been able to come in except for my permission or a god with enough spiritual power to crush me, and I couldn't see [Critical Water].

Snowbirds streaked across the sky, making piercing whines.

The mother-in-law finally gave up, she lowered her old head, and the leaving figure was so lonely.I watched the back of my mother-in-law silently, and my heart was surprisingly peaceful.I knew in my heart that I, who was not a royal but had extremely strong spiritual power, was too dangerous after all.Father... probably just an excuse, an excuse to lock me up.If my mother-in-law really treats me as a child who doesn't understand anything, then it's a bit ridiculous.

Putting these things aside, I sighed, and let it be at ease if it comes.

With a wave of my hand, I removed the barrier, as if reborn, breathing the icy and refreshing air of the Illusory Snow Empire.

The white robe fluttered, and my eyes flickered, and the next moment I was restrained by a strong hand, and I heard a soft and charming voice softly in my ear, "Lianlin, you are a new special envoy, why are you doing this to your mother-in-law? ? Don’t be afraid—”

The sound stopped as a mass of icicles pressed against his neck.

I grabbed his pulse door, turned my hand and slapped him on the chest.He retreated again and again, and then turned into thousands of icicles to attack me. I clasped my fingers slightly, summoning the wind and snow to gather energy to form a tornado, crushing all the icicles in an instant, and hitting his heart, but stopped at the last moment.

"I heard that the new special envoy has strong illusion skills, and he really lives up to his reputation." His hair was disheveled, he was half squatting on the eaves, panting, his exquisite face was like a cherry blossom.

"Prince Shi is not bad either." I walked up to Ying Kong Shi and stretched out my hand to pull him up.

Ying Kongshi straightened his clothes for a while as if nothing had happened, "You are very cruel. I just want to remind you that my brother and I were brought up by my mother-in-law. I think you are too. Don't treat your mother-in-law like that."

I shook my head and said flatly: "Of course I dare not compare with Prince Shi and Prince Ka Suo. I just want to distance myself from my mother-in-law."

"I know what you think." Ying Kongshi looked down at me, "I came here to ask you about that rumor. You seem to have something that you haven't explained to your father."

I smiled slightly, "It turns out that the person hiding behind the screen in the morning is Prince Shi."

"Oh——you found out?" Ying Kongshi said with a long tail, as if he had expected it.There are still a few cherry blossoms in his hair, but his beautiful peach eyes are not bright at this time.There was a kind of... exhaustion.

I remained silent, realizing that there must be something wrong with Liluo.Ka Suo loves Li Luo, and Ying Kong Shi knows in his heart that no one can give Ka Suo happiness except Li Luo.Or, it will make Ka Suo feel happy.For Ka Suo, Ying Kong Shi would be willing to do anything, including protecting Li Luo comprehensively.

And Lan Shang is like Ka Suo's shackles, locking Ka Suo on the throne, although the kind mermaid princess just loves Ka Suo purely.Therefore, Ying Kongshi defiled her, but she committed suicide in shame.What about Liluo?What would he do to the person Ka Suo loved?The answer is unknown.Although Li Luo was imprisoned in the depths of the ice sea in the end, she died slowly due to the loss of vitality.But before this result happened, what efforts did Ying Kongshi make behind the scenes?

I was silent for a long time, Ying Kongshi turned his head and smirked at me, "Why, are you dumbfounded?"

"I'm thinking about Liluo." I said bluntly, "I have to leave in the early morning, and I don't know how long it will take to come back. So... Maybe I can't help much."

Ying Kongshi came over, squinted his eyes and said, "As long as you don't object. Li Luo has always regarded you as her friend. And, more importantly, there is brother who wants to go to the Endless Sea with you. "

I was startled, and sighed: "Li Luo and I just met once. However, I can still get along with her. As for Prince Ka Suo, as the future king, I will naturally—"

The air suddenly became low, and Ying Kongshi's body emanated a dangerous aura, his icy blue eyes glowed with cold air, and the spiritual power that appeared due to anger made his long snow-white hair flutter without wind.He stood up and looked down at me condescendingly, smiled evilly, and said word by word: "Do you think, brother, will become, Ice King?"

Ying Kongshi's spiritual power is full of hostility, which is even more obvious now.Like unscrupulous... flames.

I didn't say anything, looked at him calmly, and said lightly: "You exaggerate the role of the individual too much. What I yearn for is freedom."

After a long time, the surrounding air pressure finally loosened slowly.Ying Kongshi also regained his composure, his face a bit ugly. "Why do they force brother like that..." He clenched his fists, trembling slightly.

"I understand that as long as you have been to the mortal world, you will like the life there. Although there is no illusion, no spiritual power, but at least it is free. There is no restriction, self-reliance, sufficient food and clothing, and everyone is equal..." I lowered my eyes , Memories poured in like a tide, and the past life shook my calm heart.

He froze for a moment, then sat down with a smile, half lying beside him, with his arms under his head, and joked playfully, "It's as if you've been there before."

I raised my eyebrows, I stayed longer than you in my previous life, although... I have never been to ancient times. "You can get a rough idea if you haven't been there, and you can stop by to have a look when you come back from Endless Sea in the future."

Ying Kongshi let out a "hum", "That's right, anyway, you..."

"what?"

"No, it's nothing..." He suddenly paused, refusing to reveal any more.

I secretly sighed that I couldn't get more out of it, so I stopped talking.
