Chapter 2212: Neverwinter City

"Gaena is right! Dr. Vader kills even the mythical Styx Cologne casually. What's so scary about the Ordinary Poisonous Dragon!"
Hilde smiled to help his girlfriend.
"Listening to what you said, I hope that the poisonous dragon will rush to die, so as not to be too boring during the voyage." The frost giant stroked his thick beard and smiled: "Brother Qiao'an, do you think so too?"
Qiao An was so angry that he suspected that these three bad guys who feared the world would not be chaotic, deliberately use themselves as "tool men"!
Qiao An still has a lot of experimental data to sort out, and two papers to write, so he doesn't feel that the journey is boring, so he doesn't have the idle time to bully the dragon for fun!
Perhaps it was Goddess Hull who heard his voice and secretly protected the "Magic Ice Boat". This voyage really went smoothly and arrived at the port of Hull Island as scheduled.
As soon as he boarded the pier, Qiao An felt refreshed, and at the same time he noticed something strange.
"Gina, the weather on the island is warm, and the vegetation looks very lush. It is totally incompatible with the climate of the North Pole. Could it be that there are also'old trees of life' taking root here, opening the'Changchun Enchantment' to block the wind and snow from outside? "
The Winter Witch smiled mysteriously, leaning close to his ear and whispering to reveal the secret of Hull Island.
"There is no'Ancient Tree of Life' on the island, but the Temple of Styx houses an artifact that is more powerful than the'Ancient Tree of Life', which can suppress polar snowstorms and prevent cold air from invading Hull Island."
"What artifact is so powerful?!" Qiao An asked curiously.
Genna hesitated, and finally made up her mind.
"Forget it, anyway, you are not an outsider, so it's okay to tell you." She lowered her voice and whispered to Qiao An, "That artifact is called...'The Ring of Winter'."
Qiao Ann wanted to ask more questions, but the Winter Witch was unwilling to talk more. Standing in front of the magnificent city gate, she turned and spread her arms, looking at Qiao Ann and Clark, smiling.
"Friends from afar, welcome to'Neverwinter City'!"
...
"Neverwinter City", the capital of "Nation of Fog", is located near the southern pier of Hull Island, and there are more than a dozen satellite towns nearby.
The city's permanent population is about 20,000, mostly witches, knights, administrators and their families from the "Hull Church".
The power center of the "Hull Church", the Temple of Styx, is located in the center of the city.
Under the guidance of Gayna and Hilde, Qiao Ann rode the Tara beast along the clean and spacious street and came to the square where the temple was. Looking at the towering temple shaped by Qingbing, he couldn't help being in awe, and quickly turned over and jumped down. Mount.
Climbing up the steps of the shining Qinghui, Qiao An and his entourage entered the cathedral decorated with buttresses and flying arches, admiring the gorgeous stained glass windows, mysterious and solemn religious murals, and finally came to the north side of the temple. A small chapel.
Hilde's mother, the contemporary pope of the "Hull Church" and the chief witch of the Temple of Styx, Ms. Farah, received two distinguished guests from the south here.
Ms. Farah’s appearance is six or seven points similar to Hilde, with faint wrinkles visible on her forehead and the corners of her eyes, making this beautiful and noble legendary witch look majestic and cordial.
Qiao An once heard Gaina gossiping about Ms. Farah's private life. The chief witch, who is over fifty years old, is still single. He has been married three times and has a total of eight children with three husbands. The children are all very good.
The four boys were trained as "glacial knights" in accordance with local customs, and the three older daughters did not live up to their mother's expectations and have all been promoted to be witches.
Only Hilde, the youngest and most favored daughter of his mother, has shown unusual personality and talents since childhood, and is more suitable to be a knight than a witch.
Ms. Farah respects her daughter's wishes and allows her to choose extraordinary careers according to her preferences. In hindsight, her tolerance and encouragement were rewarded generously.
Hilde passed the knight qualification exam when she was less than ten years old. Now she is only twenty years old and has become the best glacier knight among her peers. Over time, she is likely to become the first glacier knight since its creation. Female knight leader.
While seeing his mother with his travel companions, Hilde also met Ms. Farah's most relied advisor, Cassandra, the "Ice Prophet" who has provided consulting services to four generations of chief witches.
Ms. Cassandra, like her title, belongs to the higher ice elemental creatures. She looks like a beautiful woman carved out of a whole block of pure and transparent ice.
Her eyes were shining with silver flames, and the hazy mist overflowed all over her body, as if she was wearing a mysterious gauze. Her legs turned into icicles, closely connected with the frozen "Elemental Pool".
Cassandra usually lives in the "Ice Elemental Realm", and only when Ms. Farah calls her, will she show up from the "Ice Element Pool" in the small chapel.
The "Ice Element Pool" looks like a large bathtub. The ring-shaped outer wall is made of blue ice. The pool is filled with the essence of cold ice elements, but it is not completely frozen. Only a thin layer of ice floats on the surface of the pool.
When Ms. Farah introduced her consultant to the visitors, she emphasized that Cassandra is good at divination: by observing a person's palm prints on the ice of the element pool, one can get a glimpse of his future fortune.
In fact, Ms. Cassandra is not self-proclaimed as a "prophet". She is an observer of "chaos" and "order", occasionally able to foresee which power in the world will be dominant at a certain stage in the future.
If the scope of the prediction is narrowed to the individual, it is only to foretell someone's recent bad luck, and it will be a piece of cake for the "Prophet of Ice".
At this time, Clark suddenly remembered that when he was in the "Wandering Canyon", the lich lady Amanda had given Joan a divination, but the result was not optimistic.
Later, he and Qiao An successfully broke through the barrier, forcing Granny Amanda to reluctantly agree to let them pass through the canyon, but when they were parting, she solemnly instructed the two of them to go to the Temple of Styx, and remember to ask "The Prophet of Ice" Cassandra again. Give Qiao Ann a divination to find out the source of the ominous omen.
"Brother, do you remember Granny Amanda's instructions?" The Frost Giant asked Joan softly, "Ms. Cassandra is right here, so why don't you ask her to help you fortune telling."
Qiao An also remembered the incident, nodded, and then entrusted her mother-in-law Amanda to Ms. Farah and the "Prophet of Ice".
"Dr. Vader, in fact, long before you arrived, I had received a magic message from sister Amanda. She specifically mentioned divination in the letter, so as soon as I learned that you are entering the city today, I took the card in advance. Sandra is here."
Ms. Farah was smiling, but there was a faint shadow in her eyes, as if she was a little disturbed by the warning in Amanda's letter.
