Chapter 32 Prince Xueyue
During the short break, nothing unexpected happened.
After all, this is just the outskirts of the ice field, and the aura of the Knights members is enough to fully deter these weaker spirit beasts.
The team continued to set off towards the city established by the empire here.
The far north is a restricted area of life recognized by the entire continent.
The closer you get to the core area of the Far North, the closer the temperature will be to the temperature of Ultimate Ice.
In the core area, there will be treasures such as the Ten Thousand Years Black Ice Essence that can only be produced in extreme environments.
In addition, there are also terrifying soul beasts entrenched inside, leaving behind countless legends that have been passed down orally from generation to generation in the North.
The biting cold wind and biting snow blew mercilessly on the knights' resolute faces.
The further you go into the far north, the whiter your eyes become. The vast expanse of desolate ice fields are as far as the eye can see. If it weren't for the stars in the sky, people would easily lose their way.
The coniferous forests grow together in layers, and the voices of spirit beasts can be heard from time to time in the gloomy forest.
These views are the main features of this far north.
If humans want to set foot in this restricted area, they must not be completely prepared.
Soon, a city appeared in sight.
It's like a mirage that suddenly appears on the sea surface, obviously so illusory.
This is the destination of their trip, Fengxue Pass.
After the leading knight handed over the procedures to the guards wearing leather armor for inspection, they let Mengyuan enter the city.
The tall and handsome knights opened the way, attracting side glances from pedestrians on the road. The horses' hooves stepped on the bluestone slabs, making a uniform sound, breaking the peace of the border town.
Occasionally passers-by whispered about the visitors from out of town.
Opening the curtain, Mengyuan looked at the city carefully.
It is different from the bustling Wuhun City.
It looks particularly deserted here.
Gray and white are the main colors here.
Most of the buildings here are made of stone.
The special structural structure gives the buildings here a strong thermal insulation effect, which can effectively prevent the invasion of cold wind.
Frost and snow cover the roof, combined with the frosted edges on the eaves, and the completely different shape, making the buildings here very impressive.
Fortunately, there are colorful lanterns with different colors hung in front of every house. Together with the alternating flashes of aurora in the sky, it neutralizes a lot of people's feelings of desolation and loneliness.
In the open space on the roadside, you can see various styles of ice and snow sculptures everywhere.
Some sculptures look exquisite and lifelike, even compared to those in the hands of celebrities in the Imperial City.
Some of them are so abstract that you can tell at a glance that they were made by children and are very childlike.
The knights escorted the carriage and headed straight to the Prince's Palace in the center.
At this time, Prince Xue Yue had already been waiting here.
The prince looks to be in his thirties, with long hair falling around his shoulders. Unlike the blond hair inherited from the Xue family, Prince Xueyue's hair is silver-white, just like the falling snow in the sky.
He was wearing a gorgeous fur coat, his face looked very gentle, and he was holding a heater in his hand.
Beside him, there were several attendants. They were all wearing thin clothes. Obviously, they all had good soul power to resist the cold.
The carriage stopped in front of the palace.
Meng Yuan and Xue Ke got off the carriage first, followed by Ling Yuan, a titled Douluo, last. This is a continent where the strong are respected, and strength is directly linked to status.
Even the prince of the empire lowered his noble head slightly: "Xueyue, I have seen Ling Yuan crown your head."
His attendants and guards also saluted together.
The representative of Wuhun Palace nodded.
Then, Ling Yuan said with a smile on her face: "Your Highness, there is no need to be polite. Such cold weather has kept Your Highness waiting for a long time."
The current Wuhun Palace has not yet broken up with the Tiandou Empire.
Because they had repeatedly protected the Tiandou Empire in the war between Tiandou and Xingluo, the two major forces were now in their honeymoon period, far from the tense atmosphere of imminent tension in the future.
Xue Yue smiled, his face was pale and he looked very weak: "Ahem, this is all Xiao Wang's responsibility. It is the first time for my child to come to this remote place. If he does not welcome him warmly, It makes me look ruthless as an imperial uncle."
Xue Ke said obediently: "Uncle Huang has always been weak. Let's go into the mansion and talk about it."
"What Ake said is, cough cough... cough, everyone, please come into the house with Xiao Wang."
Mengyuan didn't have a good impression of Prince Xue Yue.
Judging from the tone, this is indeed a gentle man, and his health is indeed not good.
However, no matter how close you are, the alienation from the heart cannot be completely hidden. Mengyuan's intuition told him that this was not a good person.
After entering the hall of the palace and saying a few polite words, Prince Xueyue turned his attention to Meng Yuan: "Little guy, you are the consort that the emperor picked for A Ke, right? It is indeed the same as what the emperor said. Like a little adult.”
"Your Highness the Prince has given you too much praise."
Xue Yue said enthusiastically: "We will all be a family in the future. Just call me uncle like A Ke. I have been promoted to five levels in less than a year. Little guy, have you decided what soul beast you want to use as your second soul?" Is it ringed?"
Mengyuan said: "My martial spirit is a phoenix with the attribute of death. I want to create a thousand-year-old phoenix bird martial spirit, and I would like to ask the emperor for advice."
"The second thousand-year ring... a phoenix bird?"
Saying that, Xue Yue brewed a pot of hot tea: "I wonder what Ling Yuan Mian knows about this far north land?"
Lingyuan shook her head: "His Royal Highness has lived here for a long time, and I hope that His Highness will give you some advice."
"The Far North is clearly composed of two areas, called the desolate ice field and the permanently frozen forest. These two cores together form the forbidden land of life."
Lingyuan frowned and asked: "The Forbidden Land of Life... Can Your Highness tell you more about the situation in these two places?"
Prince Xue Yue nodded.
"The Far North that is often referred to on the mainland refers to the small piece of eternal frozen soil outside the pass, but this is only a small part of the ice sheet. The spirit beasts living here are not powerful, but after passing through the frozen soil We've reached the forbidden area of life, and the risk factor has greatly increased."
"A large number of powerful ice soul beasts live in the restricted area. When soul beasts fight in an environment that suits their attributes, their combat power will be greatly improved. Ice soul beasts also have a great characteristic, that is, they like to survive in groups. "
"Basically every soul beast group in the restricted area has a powerful soul beast that is over 10,000 years old."
No obvious changes could be seen on Lingyuan Douluo's face.
Xue Yue held the tea cup and said: "There is a long legend circulating here. If you encounter a mountain in the extreme north, turn around immediately, otherwise the ice and snow will swallow you up."
"If you want to hunt soul rings here, you must be fully prepared."
