Chapter 3342 Dance on the Second Floor
Miss Sabel seemed to be genuinely curious about this magic, but Shad was unwilling to lie, and even more unwilling to deny Adele's existence. Thinking of the girl who existed in the "non-existent" time and space, he tried hard to restrain himself from showing a lonely expression:
"This is indeed a private matter. I won't tell you the name of my teacher. She was very kind to me, but we probably won't see each other for a long time."
"Feel sorry."
The sorceress apologized softly. Looking at the expression of this strange and mysterious man, she felt a little sad and upset for some reason. She pursed her lips to prevent herself from expressing her feelings at the moment, but still took the initiative to hold his hand:
"Don't be sad or upset. I always believe that time will protect those of us who walk in time. As long as there is a chance to meet again, it is definitely not a farewell forever. Can you give me some more warmth? I feel my feet are starting to freeze."
"Oh, sorry—the fire within."
The beautiful ice maid looked at the two people who were unfamiliar to each other just now, and now they have become friends. She shook her head slightly and announced:
"You two have good taste, so please follow me upstairs."
Xia De and Miss Sabel, who had obtained a new warm crystal, followed together. They had to return to the front hall first and then go up the stairs.
"Once we reach the second floor, do we need to find new partners?"
Miss Sabel looked at the ice sculptures in the corridor and hall and asked Shade softly. Shade shook his head slightly:
"Let's go see what to do next. If it's not absolutely necessary, the two of us will be enough for the rest of the time."
The spiral staircase made of solid ice is gorgeous, but it is also very slippery. Fortunately, there is an ice-blue carpet here. The only thing they need to pay attention to is to avoid the ice sculptures on the stairs.
But after entering the second floor, the temperature dropped further. Xia De shivered violently, and Miss Sabel's feet began to freeze after she stepped onto the last step.
She immediately cast a spell to raise her body temperature, but as soon as the spirit flowed through her body, it froze. The new crystal on her chest only bought her less than a second, and when Shade turned around, she had turned into an ice sculpture again.
"I forgot to remind you. Don't use the power to create fire or increase the temperature on the second floor at will, otherwise your own ether will be frozen directly. This is the rule set by His Majesty. His Majesty likes those who can truly resist the cold on their own, not magicians who manipulate fire."
The maid smiled and said, and then kindly reminded:
"But your power that gives me soul temperature that is enough to melt me is not one of those powers that are not allowed to be used. After all, that temperature already exists, and you just shared it."
"That does seem like Chloe's style. You've met Chloe, right?"
The maid smiled but did not answer. She just stood there very dignifiedly. Xia De then asked:
"I want to free my companions. Does this require me to use up the opportunity I just got to obtain new companions?"
The maid shook her head:
"She is already your companion. There is no need to waste time to free her again. But why save her? She is almost useless to you. You can reach higher levels on your own."
What she said did make sense, but Shade still walked towards the ice sculpture:
"I promised to get her out, or at least give her the freedom to truly die, and I won't go back on my word."
As he said this, he wanted to give her another kiss, but he hesitated and stopped. The ice sculptures just now were all made of thick ice, so it was hard to tell if there was anyone inside. The images of the ice sculptures themselves were also quite popular.
But maybe it’s because it’s just frozen, but even though the ice layer of Miss Sabel’s ice sculpture is very thick, one can still clearly see the sorceress frozen in it.
"This"
In the end, he kissed the ice sculpture on the corner of its lips, and in the process he took a deep breath to reverse time and free the ice.
The activation of these two magics takes a few seconds, and they cannot be separated immediately after contact. Therefore, when the sorceress thawed again and came up shivering in Shade's coat, Shade looked at the ice maid and always felt that she had some "bad intentions".
The coldness on the second floor was already very close to the feeling at the "Silver Mountains". At that time, even Chloe, who used the power of ice and snow and was at the peak of the thirteenth level, could not bear it, not to mention Miss Sabel, who was only in the middle ring.
After she thawed, she leaned against Xia De, and after relying on Xia De's "inner fire" to stop shivering, she said tremblingly:
"The method of using a constant time to prevent freezing seems to be ineffective. This coldness can actually break through the limit of time. The power of the former owner of this place must be far greater than mine."
This place was also quite dangerous for her, and she felt that she had to remind Xia De:
"Actually, you don't have to save me. I'm just a burden to you now."
Shade didn’t care about that;
"Since I promised to take you out, I will definitely do it. Compared with the troubles I encountered before, this situation is nothing."
After all, although the environment is harsh, there are demons here instead of gods, and the current situation is much better than any other time for exploration.
The maid continued to lead the way. After entering the second floor, there was a huge banquet hall filled with various ice sculptures, which was much more gorgeous than the lobby on the first floor. But their destination was not here. The maid led them to a corridor on the side.
At this time, Miss Sabel could no longer maintain her body temperature by wearing the crystal alone. She had to hold Shade's hand to continue casting spells in order to maintain her own temperature, but there was nothing she could do about it:
"How powerful is the witch who created this castle?"
She couldn't help but sigh, but the maid who led the way didn't answer this question, so Shade said casually:
"She must be a demigod-level witch."
"You know about demigods?"
The sorceress asked in surprise again, "The level of demigod has disappeared in the Sixth Era. Ordinary ring sorcerers have never even heard of it. It was only after the Middle Castle incident that Shade gradually learned that this level existed in the past."
At this time, the stranger who had been in this world for nearly two years already knew about demigods, and even had sex in a hot spring with a girl who had just been promoted to demigod.
"I heard from my teacher that you also know about demigods?"
Xia De from the high ring looked at the middle ring sorceress in surprise. The latter knew that she had spoken out of turn, so she skillfully used the excuse of amnesia:
"A new memory just came back to me. Yes, I don't know where this knowledge came from."
She had begun to feel guilty for lying. The other person's soul was so warm and reassuring, and she was clearly protected by this warmth yet she was still lying to the soul that was protecting her.
Although she didn't know who the other person was, she knew that the other person's status was equal to hers based on this strong and gentle soul. At first, she just wanted to know the other person's secret, but now, after this incident, she wanted to truly get to know the other person and communicate with him.
Especially since Xia De had performed that magic in her dream just now. She thought of another strange self she had met not long ago, but she felt that she couldn't make such a casual guess. After all, the origin of that other self was still questionable.
But "Miss Sabel" had already decided that no matter who this strange man was, she would take him out of here. He could now barely be considered her student.
The corridor on the right side of the banquet hall connects a series of rooms, and the entire second floor is actually in the shape of a "U". No matter whether you enter the left corridor or the right side, as long as you walk forward, you will eventually return to the banquet hall.
"Guest, you have demonstrated your taste for tea on the first floor, so please show your dancing skills on the second floor to prove your elegance."
Soon after entering the corridor, the maid stopped and turned around to explain. Then, the sound of music and many people dancing could be heard from the banquet hall they had just left.
Shade looked back and could see shadowy figures dancing through the ice door in the corridor.
The maid made a gesture of invitation:
"Then both of you, please join the dance if you are ready. I will judge after ten minutes of dancing. If your dancing is elegant enough, we will then go to the third floor, where will be the final test."
Miss Sabel raised a question:
"Wait a minute, if he came here on his own and failed to free me, he would have to dance alone, right? Or did you anticipate my appearance in advance?"
"I don't have the ability to predict the future. In fact, the original plan was that the guests were going to dance with me."
The maid lifted the edge of her skirt made of thin ice, turned around, and looked at Shade with a smile:
"Of course, if you are willing to give up your companion, I am still willing to dance with you. It is also my honor."
The blonde girl felt provoked, and she strongly doubted that this suspicious "elemental life" recognized who she was.
Most people would choose the beautiful, strange and powerful ice maid over an ordinary girl with average looks and low level at the first opportunity, but Shade shook his head and refused. He said that he would not abandon his companions.
Miss Sabel was very unhappy about the other party's words. That thing, which was probably an elemental creature, obviously underestimated her charm, but she just couldn't show her true self.
Although Shade chose her, she thought that Shade gave up the "better" choice for her, which was "pity" for her, which made the girl even more unhappy.
"Ten minutes? Let's go then."
As Shade said this, he was about to pull the sorceress towards the door of the corridor, but she did not move. Instead, she said as if she was angry about something:
"Don't you take the initiative to invite a lady to dance?"
Seeing Xia De looking at her in confusion, she realized that she was a little too emotional. This hadn't happened for a long time since she took over the responsibility and began to lead everyone. She blushed slightly, but it was too cold to be seen at all:
"I mean, I'm probably going to die soon, so the final dance should be more formal. Can you formally invite me?"
Then she saw the man holding her hand had a complicated and sad expression, and she felt even more guilty.
Thinking about her behavior just now, she realized that if she continued like this, both of them might be trapped here forever. So she made up her mind that she would just be an ordinary girl accompanying him on this long-awaited adventure.
And Xia De cleared his throat and invited her with the hand that was not holding hers:
"Miss Delia A. Sabel, would you please have the honor of dancing for ten minutes?"
The girl, who was ready and in a good frame of mind, smiled, nodded, and performed a standard curtsy:
"Yes, I would love to."
