People in the League, Masters of Time Management

The bridge has been known by many names: Place of Trials, Bridge of Murder, and more.But others simply call it the Bridge of the Keep, or the Howling Vault.If it had a name in the days of the Three Sisters, it has been lost by now.

The ethereal wailing flowing in the wind became stronger again, and ice crystal fragments hit them, but neither of them wavered at all.They love it.Ice is their ally.Ice is their truth.

"We are going into the abyss," Lissandra said softly.

Her tone was rare and gentle, I don't know if she wanted to comfort Mu Bai with this, or it was just her nature.

"As you can see, the abyss is bottomless. I can't guarantee that you will come up alive, but at least I can promise you that I will fulfill all your wishes during your lifetime."

"Wish..." Mu Bai stroked his chin and thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Then I hope we can all come up alive."

"I just said... Forget it, do as you like." Lissandra pursed her lips, turned her head to the side, not knowing what she was thinking.

Mu Bai didn't care, and silently looked at the situation below the rift valley.

After a while, the two continued to move forward and walked around to the other side of the Bridge of Sorrows, where Lissandra led the Iceborn to start the grand ancient war thousands of years ago.

Along the way, many frost priests cast respectful or curious glances at the two. They didn't understand what kind of person was qualified to walk with the matriarch, let alone where they were going.

But soon, the latter question has an answer.

"Let's go down from here." Lissandra stopped, and at the same time pointed to a defect in the stone bridge near the cliff of the rift valley. "You follow me, and I will open the way."

"Okay." Mu Bai nodded.

Under the amazed gaze of all the clansmen, the proud Frost Witch, Mrs. Ice and Darkness, stepped into the bottomless abyss herself.

According to past practice, such a dangerous thing should be done by the Iceborn.On the vernal equinox every year, three members of the Frostguard will be selected to go on an expedition to the abyss to check and report whether everything is normal under the ice layer of the abyss.

But this time... the matriarch actually went down in person?And didn't choose the vernal equinox?

Could it be because of the young man beside her...?

Without allowing the Frostguards to think about it, Lissandra has already taken the first step into the abyss.

With a wave of her finger, several icicles immediately protruded from the ice on the steep rock wall, just wide enough for a normal adult's foot to step on.

Every time she takes a step, an icicle will automatically appear in front of her, slowly descending, forming a strange and gorgeous magic staircase.

Mu Bai just followed behind so quietly.The figures of the two quickly disappeared into the darkness.

The frost guards on the bridge were talking a lot, and no one could guess what Mrs. Bing and An were thinking.

--------------------------------------

-------------------

As time went by, the two of them descended deeper and deeper, and their visibility became lower and lower.The surroundings were dark, as if from the end of winter to the next winter solstice.

Not even the sun shines into this terrible abyss.

The howling wind still whipped between the valleys, pulling them like ghostly hands, trying to pry them off the ice.

"Miss Lissandra." Mu Bai suddenly called out to the woman not far in front of him.

"Miss? How did you think of using this title on me... Forget it, what's the matter?" Lissandra's tone was still indifferent.

"the weather is nice today."

"...?"

"How old are you?"

"..." Lissandra didn't bother to answer the other party's unclear words, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Mu Bai scratched his head in embarrassment, and said solemnly: "It's too dark around, I can't see anything, I can only tell the direction by listening to your voice."

Hearing this, Lissandra was slightly taken aback.Usually, I am used to doing things alone, and I forget to take care of my teammates sometimes.

After all, not everyone doesn't use eyes like myself.

She snapped her fingers lightly, and an icicle slowly formed in her hand, "Grab the other end of the icicle and follow my steps."

"Okay." Mu Bai heaved a sigh of relief.

But... this method is really unique.

If it was Ashe and the others, they would definitely stretch out their hands, and then blushing and say "grab my hand" or something.

As expected of the proud Frost Witch...

--------------------------------------

-------------------

Under the abyss, no one can judge the time.The different time periods are all vaguely connected together, forming an indistinguishable mass.

It could have been hours, or a whole day, since it started.He couldn't see the sky, and Mu Bai couldn't tell the time.

After another long period of patience, finally, the icy ground appeared, interrupting the fog abruptly.

Lissandra stopped suddenly, but Mu Bai bumped into it unexpectedly, causing the noble and holy witch to frown.

Of course, because of the cover of the Zhenbing hood, no one could see it.

"Sorry...have we made it to the end?" Mu Bai asked.

"Not far."

Lissandra let go of her palm, and the icicle connecting the two immediately melted into water.The Zhenbing here exudes a faint light similar to that at dusk, she guesses that Mu Bai should be able to see things.

"It is enough to go down here, and we can only go down here at most."

Mu Bai couldn't help showing a surprised expression.He knew that the Howling Abyss was very deep, but he didn't expect it to be so exaggerated.

Maybe... This place can really lead directly to the center of the world.

"Go ahead, we will reach our destination soon." Lissandra started walking again, much faster than before.

She has not set foot here for a thousand years, but the surrounding scene is exactly the same as it was a thousand years ago.She knows it.

Proceeding along the canyon and passing through the hidden crack, the two soon arrived at a huge bowl-like cave.The ice beneath our feet gradually changed from cloudy to transparent.The ice floor at the center of the cave is perfectly flat, like a black mirror.

The center of the cave is a flat and open space surrounded by a huge and abrupt circle of pure ice.It looks like pillars, distributed along the circular open space in the middle, giving the whole cave a sense of majesty of the lost god.

There are nine icicles in total, and Mu Bai suddenly realized the meaning of this number after a while.

Hall of the Nine.

The last shackles of the Frostguard clan to seal the watchers.

"From now on, don't look down." Lissandra's voice was very soft, as if she was afraid of disturbing some kind of creature living here, "It would be best if we can avoid direct conflict. Our task is to repair the seal."

Mu Bai nodded, and followed the other party to check the weird inscriptions engraved on the nine statues one by one.

The first...the third...the seventh...

There is no problem.

Lissandra knew that one of the two remaining icicles must be damaged.If you are unlucky, there may be problems with both.

She cautiously approached one of them, and was about to touch the inscription on it with her hands, when the man behind her suddenly hugged her.

The hug was tight and the movements were rough, even two knuckles touched her full chest.

The next moment, a purple tentacle flashed where she was standing just now, and the disturbing energy directly corrupted the pure ice on the ground.

If you hit someone...

"While focusing on inspection, you should also pay attention to your surroundings." Mu Bai's peaceful voice sounded at the same time as the sound of the sword being unsheathed.

"..." Lissandra felt ashamed for a while, and didn't care about the other party touching her sensitive area just now.

It was the first time in thousands of years that she was held in someone's arms. The feeling was a bit strange, but it wasn't disgusting either.

"thanks……"

She stood up straight, stroked the folds on her chest a little, and then began to sense the existence deep in the rift.

The owner of that tentacle... found.

Lissandra's expression darkened, and she leaned towards Mu Bai subconsciously.

"Come closer, 'it' is coming..."

"Well, I saw it." Mubai breathed out a hot breath, holding double blades in front of Lissandra.

About 300 meters in front of them, the ice layer broke through a hole.

There was half a huge purple eyeball stuck there.

Chapter 23 The One-Eyed Beneath the Abyss

"Looking" at the generous back in front of him, Lissandra felt an indescribably strange feeling in his heart.

Who is she?One of the three sisters of the Freljord, an extraordinary mage who has survived for thousands of years, the founder and ruler of the Frostguard tribe, and the savior who sealed the evil spirits of the alien world...

For so many years, she has been rushing to the front line of disasters, defeating one after another powerful enemies with her unparalleled Ice Magic and unyielding will.

But now, there is a young man standing in front of him, wanting to protect him?

This is neither in line with the Freljord tradition of women superior to men, nor in line with the creed she has always adhered to.

Although it doesn't feel bad to be dependent...

"Let me come, Mubai."

Lissandra's hands lit up with magical light, and even the surrounding air was frozen, but her tone was exceptionally gentle:

"You may not know much about the Watchers...their power cannot be measured by common sense."

Mu Bai nodded in agreement, but his body did not move away.Obviously, he just agreed with the second half of the other party's sentence.

"Yes, they are scary. That's why I have to protect you."

"I don't need others to protect me." Lissandra frowned displeased, but her tone became softer.

"I know, but strengthening the seal can only be done by you, isn't it?"

"..."

"I'm going to restrain the watcher, and you stay here to repair the nine statues. How about we divide the work and cooperate?"

"That would be too risky."

"It's a little bit, but I have no choice." Mu Bai smiled, "Besides, don't you believe that I am the son of prophecy?"

Speaking of this, Lissandra has nothing to hesitate.

She sighed meaningfully, and then said softly: "I hope you are, and I believe it very much. Please live well."

"That's natural."

Mu Bai responded firmly, and then rushed forward.

While running, his body changed suddenly, and non-human tissues such as wings and scales suddenly appeared.

The magic power is changing, and the space is trembling.In just one breath, he turned into a ghost from hell like a religious scroll.

The perfect fusion of the power of the devil and the power of the darkborn made his power completely out of the human category.

"Interesting creature..."

The big eyeball stuck in the middle of the ice trembled slightly, and the sound came from nowhere.Its tone of voice is very strange, and its articulation is not very clear, as if it has just learned human language.

But its attack is not comparable to that of humans.

Several huge purple tentacles swung out suddenly, carrying terrifying energy of decomposition and corrosion.

Mu Bai dodged one of them sideways, without slowing down, and then cut towards the other ones with Lanqie.

Those tentacles looked soft, but they were actually extremely hard, and when they hit the blade, they made a crisp sound of steel colliding.

but it does not matter.

"You're interesting too, Watcher." When the waiting distance was almost over, Mubai leaped high, stepping on those clustered tentacles and jumping onto the watcher's eyelids.

At this distance, the coercion emanating from the eyes is even stronger.

As long as ordinary human beings look at it, they will immediately fall into endless madness and fear, and go crazy directly.

Fortunately, Mubai has a passive skill that is immune to mind control - this is thanks to a certain gluttonous and astringent little fox girl.

"Come on, wear contact lenses!"

The two sharp blades pierced out at the same time, and directly pierced into the big eyeball with a diameter of five or six meters.
