I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

Just like that, after everyone chatted in the tent for a while, as the wind outside gradually died down, Istina, who was closest to the exit, suggested going out to take a look at the situation.

"My dear hero, the wind outside seems to have died down a bit. I'll go out and see if I can continue my journey."

"Ah."

Eve agreed without thinking too much. After all, she was just sticking her head out to take a look. What could go wrong?

But after Istina went out, a cry of surprise came from outside.

"Master Brave! Come out and take a look!"

"coming!"

Before anyone else in the tent could react to what was happening, Eve's figure had disappeared from the tent and appeared next to Istina.

"Over there, there shouldn't be this just now, right?"

The wind and snow had weakened a lot at this time, and the visibility was obviously much higher. Looking in the direction that Istina pointed, a mysterious house appeared not far away.

Although it has not been confirmed up close, this house seems to be similar to the igloo Eve built before. It is also a house made of ice and snow, but it is obviously much more refined than Eve's simple version.

"Absolutely not..."

Looking at the snow house not far away, Eve frowned slightly, but after a little recollection, she said affirmatively.

Even though her vision was poor just now, Eve was sure that she would notice such a big thing if it appeared not far away.

"what happened?"

A few beats later, the rest of the people in the tent came out and asked about the situation.

In response, Eve just pointed silently.

Then, a group of people just stood there in a daze.

"Filier, have you heard any rumors about this situation?"

Eve asked, based on the principle of asking the locals first if you don't know what to do.

"Absolutely not."

Without a second's hesitation, Philier answered immediately.

"Is this so..."

So the question is, do they go in and take a look, or choose to ignore it and then set off?

As if seeing what Eve was thinking, Philier also gave her own advice.

"Miss Eve, are you planning to go in and take a look?"

"Well, I have some ideas, but I haven't decided yet. What do you think?"

If she hadn't brought Philier and the other two out, Eve would definitely have gone in to investigate, but for now she had to respect the opinions of some clients.

"I think it's better to be safe and avoid unnecessary complications."

"Is this so..."

After a moment of hesitation, Eve suddenly looked at Melchis beside her.

"By the way, Shizu, based on your intuition, is there any possibility that it is related to the ice lily?"

Well, since you are undecided, let’s go to Melchis.

"Eh?"

Although she was a little surprised to be called suddenly, Melchis still closed her eyes and felt it obediently.

"Hmm... well... I think it should be related."

After a while, Shizu finally gave her answer.

"Okay, let's go inside and take a look. Is that okay?"

Eve glanced at everyone again as she spoke. With the white elf's intuitive guidance, Filial and the others naturally wouldn't insist on going any further.

Just like that, following Sith's intuition, Eve and others are about to enter the mysterious snow house to find out what's going on.

§121 Mysterious Snow House

After Melchis said that the mysterious snow house not far away might be related to the target of their trip, the Snow Lily, Eve and the others began to pack up the tent and prepare to go in and find out.

After all, this snow house appeared suddenly, and it might disappear suddenly. They need to hurry up and go in to explore.

"it is good!"

After the tent was packed, Eve emphasized the precautions of this exploration one last time.

"Once you're inside, follow my instructions. Try not to act alone. If you encounter something you're confused about, ask me. If you're in danger, don't hesitate to use magic to protect yourself. After all, you can find the Ice Lily later. Remember that?"

As Eve spoke, her gaze swept across the crowd, finally stopping on Philier and the other person. After all, she knew the temperaments of the others, and the only possible variables were these two clients.

"remember!"

"Okay, let's set off."

This mysterious ice and snow hut was not too far away from them, about a few hundred meters away, but there was a not-too-wide crack in the middle. Because it was covered with a layer of snow, Eve stepped on empty space. Fortunately, she reacted in time.

After finding out the width of the crack, the group successfully jumped over and arrived at the side where the cabin was.

As she approached the igloo, Eve could see the whole place more clearly.

The snow house is not too big, covering an area of ​​about 300 square meters, and it is a small two-story villa.

However, the architectural style is completely incompatible with the elves' tree houses. Instead, it looks like the small houses that ordinary people of the vampire and human races live in. This is not a problem in itself, but considering that this is the territory of the elves and is located in the northernmost part of the country where it has no contact with other races, it is somewhat strange.

The materials of the house are exactly the same as those of the igloo Eve had built before, both snow and ice, but the ice here is obviously much whiter, so Eve and others cannot see what is inside the igloo from the outside.

Tsk, so not being able to use magic is a problem.

If she could use magic, she could tell in minutes how many bricks were used to build this igloo.

Hey, wait, given the current situation, snow-capped mountains, villas, snowy weather, and an isolated island, plus a death-like elementary school student, it would become a perfect crime scene.

Putting aside the messy thoughts in her mind, Eve gently knocked on the ice and snow door in front of her.

knock knock knock

"..."

After a brief silence, the ice door in front of everyone suddenly slid open silently, revealing the scene inside the house.

All they saw was endless ice, including ice carpets, chandeliers, and decorations. On the wall hung empty ice picture frames, and there was even an ice fireplace nearby. The most outrageous thing was that there were some ice firewood in the fireplace.

This ice firewood does not mean that there is a layer of ice frozen on the outside of the firewood, but it is literally made of pure ice, which is extremely outrageous.

What's even more strange is that there was no one or any other existence in the ice house to greet them, but the door in front of them was so heavy that it didn't look like it could be opened by itself. So the question is, how did this door open?

So, Istina felt a chill down her spine, psychologically.

"Eve, no, no, why don't we just go?"

As she spoke, she swallowed nervously, obviously thinking of the ghost again.

"Alright, I've already told you there are no ghosts in this world. Don't be afraid, just explore a bit and then we'll go."

Gently holding Istina's hand, Eve comforted her softly.

"Um…"

Seeing that Istina agreed, Eve gently touched her cheek to encourage her and continued.

"Anyway, since Shizu said this place might be related to the ice lilies, let's explore it. To be safe, let's not split up. Keep the same formation as on the road, and don't untie your ropes."

What Eve didn't say was that according to the rules of horror movies, if you are alone, you will be stabbed.

After everyone explored deeper into the house, the door of the snow house was quietly closed at some point...

after a while…

At this time, everyone had already completed a complete circle of the house. If they did not miss any hidden rooms, they should have visited all the rooms in the igloo.

And the result... naturally nothing was gained, but no unexpected situations occurred either.

The entire snow house is equipped with all kinds of functional rooms, including a hall, living room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom, etc. It is no different from an ordinary villa except that all the creations inside are made of ice and snow.

Out of curiosity, Eve also tried the ice tableware and kitchen utensils, and found that they could be taken out and used normally, instead of being frozen together with the whole place for viewing only.

But what's strange is that some rooms seem to be overly clean for some reason. Simply put, the decorations that should be there are gone.

For example, some vases and plants that should obviously be in pairs are somehow missing half, and some places where bookcases and wardrobes should be placed are just white walls.

In short, it is very counterintuitive and gives people a weird feeling.

"Hmm...I haven't found any clues."

While muttering something a little lost, Eve and her group returned to the original hall, ready to leave. However, the gate they came from had disappeared without a trace, leaving only an ice wall standing in its place.

Seeing this scene, Istina's face turned pale and even her steps became a little shaky, but Eve looked interested.

After all, even if she can't use magic, she can still destroy this place with her weapon elves alone, so there's no need to panic.

"Hmm...it seems the owner of this place doesn't want us to leave just like that. Let's go to the bedroom we just found and rest for a while."

"Um, Miss Eve, are we just going to leave this place alone?"

Upon hearing Eve's decision, Philier seemed a little panicked. After all, in her opinion, when encountering such an unusual situation, shouldn't one immediately think about how to leave, or be a little scared like Miss Istina? How could anyone choose to make the best of it?

"Don't worry. Since they don't want us to leave but haven't done anything out of the ordinary, they might not have any malicious intentions."

Eve waved her hand and continued.

"Besides, Shizu said before that this place might be related to the Ice Lily, but we just searched and found nothing. Maybe it's because we haven't reached any conditions yet, so we might as well give it a try."

"Is that so... Then I'll leave it to Miss Eve."

Although she was a little hesitant, Philier finally chose to follow Eve's judgment.

In this way, the group returned to the largest bedroom they had discovered before and began to rest.

§122 Poor hospitality?

In the bedroom of the ice house, Eve and her group were busy with their own things in twos and threes.

For example, Eve was experimenting with all the items in the house, trying to see which ones were just for show. As a result, she actually found some. The bed curtains around the bed and the curtains by the window in this room were all one piece and could not be used normally. This might be because it was difficult to restore them with ice and snow.

By the way, although the quilt on the bed is also a big block of ice, it still restores the layered mattress, sheets and other layers, which is very detailed.

The potted plants by the window, the cabinets by the bed, and the tables and chairs on the side can all be moved.

As for Istina, she was holding Eve's hand tightly and following her around the room, not daring to leave even a step.

Beside the bed, Arcana and the other five were sitting on the floor, chatting casually. After all, with the room full of ice and snow products, there was no difference between sitting on the bed and on the floor.

The atmosphere of the conversation was basically livened up by Melchis. After all, Filial and Cirilla were a little panicked when they were involved in such an unusual situation.

If Eve hadn't acted like she had everything under control, they would probably have been even more panicked.

However, as time went by, they calmed down a bit. To be honest, since there was no sound of wind and snow outside in the igloo, it was a good place to rest, although it was a bit cold.

Well, there's nothing they can do. After all, there's no heat source and they don't exercise. They're not as resistant as Eve and the others, so it's inevitable that they feel cold.

After a while, Xi Ruiya, who was a little cold and couldn't stand it anymore, stood up and stamped her feet.

"Miss Eve, can we have a small fire to keep us warm?"

"Hmm...let's get some heat-insulating and flame-retardant stuff to cushion it."

Eve replied after a moment's thought.

"it is good."

After saying that, Xi Ruiya began to search through the luggage.

But after she prepared everything, she encountered an unexpected problem - the fire could not be lit.
