my age of magic

Chapter 1473 23. Destiny
Leaving Queen Viki's palace, led by the slender mermaid, we passed through beautiful palaces, from the height of Janna Palace all the way down, passed through several long and narrow corridors, and finally entered the In front of a rock cave excavated under a cliff, the stone door at the entrance of the cave is thick and gloomy. The stone door is covered with green moss and water stains, and a cold air continues to spread from the stone door.

Our group stopped outside the stone gate, where a team of Janna guards were stationed outside the stone gate.

These Janna guards are all tall warriors wearing silver armor. When we approached the stone gate, those Janna guards pointed at us with halberds. If they took another step forward, they would attack us unceremoniously. .

The mermaid maid next to the Queen Viki swam up, took out Queen Viki's sigil in front of a Jana guard, and communicated in Jana for a while. At the beginning, the Janna guard seemed He was indifferent, and only later showed some hesitation.

I turned my head and glanced at Justus behind me, Justus approached me calmly, and whispered in my ear: "The Janna warriors guarding the gate seem to be relying on something, and they don't want to listen to Queen Viki's orders." Order, this mermaid lady threatened the Janna guard chief, telling him that if he doesn't let him go, he will go directly to King Janna to sue them..."

The Janna guard chief was finally convinced by the slim-waisted mermaid. He waved to the Janna guards behind him, and the Janna guards pushed aside one after another, making way for the stone gate in front of them. Janna stood guard in front of the stone gate, and slowly pushed the big stone gate open forcefully.

A cold breath came out of the cave, and the mermaid with a thin waist led us directly into the cave.

We simply carried some warm clothes in our magic pockets, and put them on directly at the entrance of the cave, and then followed the slim-waisted mermaid into the cave.

"This ice rock vein is buried under this stone cliff, and Princess Ariel is lying in an ice coffin underground." The thin-waisted mermaid said to us in a soft voice.

"You speak the Imperial language very well." Ying Li said to the mermaid maid.

The mermaid maid was leading the way, and she was very happy after hearing Yingli's praise. She covered her face with her hands a little shyly and said, "Ah! Really? There are not many Jana people in the palace who can speak Grimmian language." , I don’t know if these pronunciations are accurate..."

In fact, I have never paid attention to whether her imperial language is standard or not. My eyes always fall on her slender waist unconsciously.

……

The first feeling when I entered the cave was that it was very cold. I subconsciously reached out and tightened the neckline of the magic robe.

I found that the walls of the cave were actually some ice rocks. I stretched out my hand to caress the ice rocks, thinking whether to secretly knock them off and put them in the magic pocket while no one was paying attention.

When I participated in the water magician salon in the imperial capital, I was lucky enough to see ice rocks. This is a rare ice-type ore in the world. This kind of stone itself can emit cold air, because it is buried deep in the ground The number of Green Empires is extremely rare, and it is a very rare rock.

Only ice magicians know of its existence, and its only function is to make water freeze.

If this kind of ice rock is used improperly, the cold air in the ice rock will easily evaporate, and then this kind of ice rock will become the most common limestone. Only some ice magicians can get more for meditation. Ice magic elements will use ice rocks to make some magic utensils.

But this thing is of no use to me. My own level has been promoted very quickly, and I haven't considered these magical artifacts to assist meditation yet.

If Scholar Xiao En hadn't reminded me to pay more attention to this kind of ice rock, I would have even taken the fist-sized ice rock in that ice magician's hand as an ordinary rock.

After entering this cave, a thin layer of hoarfrost condensed on the stone wall near the entrance.

At first glance, I thought these were ice walls, but when I touched them with my hands, I could feel the stone texture, and a little bit of chill emanated from these ice rock walls, and then I realized that those rock walls were actually all ice. It is ice rock.

Standing in the cave, I felt that the sweat pores all over my body were erected. The icy breath here gave me a feeling of winter in the northern province.

Some magical wall lamps made of moonstone are inlaid on the rock wall, and the wall lamps cast a cool glow in the cave.

We are in a cave, and when we breathe, white water vapor condenses around our mouths. We walked down the cave for several hundred meters, and an underground palace made of ice and rock came into our eyes. There is a huge ice rock statue at the entrance of the palace. An archangel stands on the top of a huge round stone pillar. The face of this archangel is hidden in the hood. Behind him is six snow-white wings. The top pair The wings are about to spread and fly, but the bottom pair of wings are still folded. This archangel is not wearing a golden armored battle robe, but a priest's robe, holding a magic scroll in his hand,

I don't know how the statue of the Archangel Yzreal appeared in the underground complex of Janna, but he has the signature hood covering his face and holding the 'Scroll of Time and Destiny Taluthar' in his hand, and his body The elusive and indifferent demeanor was vividly portrayed by the master sculptor.

The dome of this underground palace is made of crystal stone, so although the palace doesn't have too many magic wall lights, it still looks full of glow.

The mermaid maid led us around the archangel statue in front of us, and came to a high platform in a square. Unexpectedly, there were some Janna servants standing around the high platform. When those servants saw the mermaid maid, they all looked respectful. Bowing down and saluting, it seems that this thin-waisted mermaid has a high status here. She didn't even need to say anything, and she led us straight up the steps of the high platform.

At this moment, I suddenly had a feeling in my heart, as if there was something waiting for us on the high platform. I couldn't tell whether that feeling was good or bad, just like an unpredictable fate.

I looked at Yingli, she was also looking up at the high platform with a focused face at this time, and slowly walked up the stone steps.

I walked up with her, and when I held her hand, I felt that her hand was extremely cold.

When we walked to the high platform, we realized that the high platform was like a pyramid with the top flattened, with steps all around, and the steps became narrower as we reached the top.

After climbing onto the platform, the first thing that catches the eye is the huge ice bed placed in the center of the platform. A square ice coffin is placed on the ice bed. The mermaid princess Ariel probably lies in that ice coffin. Inside, after standing on the high platform, we didn't go any further.

Sitting on the front platform is a great wizard of the Jana tribe. Under her feet is a magic circle that looks around like a spider web. She is sitting in the center of the circle. There is a human skull in front of her. , the pale skull was covered with cracks, a soul gem the size of a middle finger nail was inlaid on the forehead of the skull between the brows, and a fist-sized crystal ball was inlaid on the top of the skull.

The Grand Wizard Janna was gently stroking the crystal ball with his hand at this time, looking as if he was muttering to himself.

A stick that was twisted like a tree root was stuck on the platform, and the Great Wizard Janna looked very old from the back.

There are four utensils like pottery bowls placed at the four corners of the ice coffin. Inside the open bowls, a blue soul flame is burning. It is said that this blue soul fire can be injected into the soul of a person after death, so that after death His soul has become stronger, so that he will not become a delicious meal for those undead creatures after entering the underworld.

The four corners of the high platform are guarded by Janna warriors. The bodies of these Janna warriors are covered with cyan stripes, and the weapons in their hands are also very unique, including flails, scimitars, giant hammers, and tower shields. It wasn't until Kalancuo stood calmly behind me and Yingli that I realized that these Janna warriors were not as simple as they seemed on the surface. At least it is above the rank two powerhouse.

The slender-waisted mermaid stepped forward gently, she didn't even dare to disturb the Great Wizard Janna, she just cautiously stood beside her and waited quietly.

It took a long time before the Grand Wizard Janna removed his hand from the crystal ball of the skull.

I clearly saw another crack on the skull, but at this moment, the Grand Wizard Janna finally seemed to realize that there was someone around her. Rolling up the magic scroll, the scroll looks like it is made of flattened seaweed, but as she rolls up the scroll little by little, the spiderweb-like magic circles on the platform are like octopus tentacles, It kept swinging and slowly received into the scroll.

These magic restrictions on the platform were lifted little by little, and then the great wizard Janna slowly stood up from the ground.

She can be said to be the shortest and oldest Janna woman I have ever seen, wearing a robe made of unknown sea animal skin, with a hunched body, holding a magic wand in her hand, and her face is full of wrinkles. I couldn't even see her facial features clearly, or maybe her facial features were blurred, she turned around and waved to the mermaid maid, and the mermaid quickly bowed and retreated.

Grand Wizard Janna turned to stare at Yingli, and then she suddenly opened her narrowed eyes, which were like electric balls full of thunder elements, and the whole eyeballs became so dazzling that we couldn't even see them. Looking at her, Ying Li took a step back in fright.

A moment later, Grand Wizard Janna returned to his original appearance, and his whole body looked even more stooped, as if he might fall at any time.

Just listen to the Janna great wizard say to Ying Li: "My child, I have seen you, it seems that losing your beautiful face is not a bad thing for you, I can see your fate line and his fate line Intertwined together, fate is really elusive..."

Hearing that the Great Wizard of Janna speaks fluent Grimm Empire language, I even have an illusion... It feels like every Janna can speak Imperial language.

After finishing speaking, the Great Wizard Jana waved to Ying Li again, as if calling her to go to the ice coffin, Ying Li took a step forward, and I followed closely, but found that the steps could not be taken no matter what.

"You can come over and take a look at Ariel first to see your original appearance. If you still insist on letting him come after seeing Ariel, I will let him come over." The voice of the wizard has an indescribable magic, full of temptation: "You know... this may give him a preconceived impression that the woman who looks like this is Ariel, the mermaid princess, maybe you can Let him wait until the transfer magic ceremony is completed, and then appreciate your stunning beauty."

"I just want to know what I would be like if the incident ten years ago hadn't happened." Ying Li was not seduced by the voice of Grand Wizard Janna, she opened her hands and said frankly to Grand Wizard Janna : "Actually, to be honest, I'm not ready to accept the transfer magic ritual yet!"

"You don't plan to get your beauty back?" Grand Wizard Janna showed the same surprised expression as Queen Viki.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with the way I look now!" After finishing speaking, Ying Li turned to look at me, his eyes full of happiness.

Grand Wizard Janna's voice was a little dry: "You come over and have a look at her, maybe just one glance will change your mind."

Ying Li took a deep breath, summoned up his courage and said to Grand Wizard Janna: "Okay..."

Just as Ying Li was walking towards the ice coffin on the high platform, he heard the great wizard Janna sitting in front of the ice coffin, muttering some words incessantly:

"Ten years ago, I advised you not to accept this peerless beauty, to seize something that does not belong to you, and at the same time make you lose something."

"You think that you are the darling of the sea and have been favored by the god of fate, so you accepted that beautiful face, and at the same time, you also calmed down the war between the Endless Haigana tribe and the Green Empire people. I remember the truce That day you ran to me happily and told me: The years of war of the Janna clan have finally subsided, and these people can take a good rest."

"Six years ago, I advised you not to give up the throne to your younger brother, no matter how close he is to you, no matter how much he loves you, respects you, and trusts you, power is like a slow poison, it can corrode from the inside out A person's heart."

"You think your younger brother is the most obedient and sensible younger brother in the world, so with a wave of your sleeves, you easily gave him the throne of the King of Endless Haiganna. On the day he took the throne, you were excited Tell me: You can finally let go of the heavy responsibilities on your shoulders, and you can take the crown of silence to challenge the powerful places hidden in the endless sea. At that time, every time you return from injury, you will bring back a whole body of glory."

"Three years ago, I advised you not to marry far away from the Seven Realms Sea. No matter how much the Lord of the Seven Seas admired you, no matter how much he fell for you, this relationship would not last long. Jana men are a group of The surface is glamorous, but in fact the heart is rotten, shameless, and the heart is extremely ugly. There is no eternal love in this world, and only the strong one can be qualified to talk about feelings."

"You think you are a powerful party, backed by tens of thousands of Jannas from the Endless Sea, and the person from the Seventh Sea is even willing to challenge Azmodan at the bottom of the abyss for you, which is enough to prove his love for you How passionate is your love, on the day you got married, you came to me and told me confidently that it won’t be long before there will be no distinction between the endless sea and the seven seas... hey!"
