Long Yi was surprised and bewildered. Seeing these dozens of ice-sculptures, he immediately thought about Wushuang purely on the conditional reflex.
”What's going on? Ah…this…” Nalan Ruyue also lifted the curtain and looked in the front, and seeing human-shaped ice-sculptures, she couldn't help screaming. She also sensed dense water magic elements remaining in the air.
Long Yi immediately soared as if a roc and landed in front of these human-shaped ice-sculptures. Behind him, Red Lady and Barbarian Bull followed.
Long Yi frowned. Looking at the attire of these people, they should be a certain small-sized mercenary group. There were warriors and magicians too.
”Eh, they are not frozen in ordinary ice.” Red Lady exclaimed after using her Scarlet Blood Bow to feel out this ice-sculpture.
Long Yi reached out his hand and come into contact with one ice-sculpture then he immediately felt bone-piercing chill invading into his body. He immediately retracted his hand and said: ”Profound Yin Ice.”
Yes, it was indeed Profound Yin Ice, and for such wide-area attack range of Profound Yin Ice, if one was not at least Master Archmage, then it was simply impossible to accomplish. And looking all over Blue Waves Continent, other than Water Master Archmage Shui Linglong, there was only one another person that has this capability i.e. Wushuang who had already reached Magic G.o.d realm. Could it be that she had also come to Nalan Empire?
”It's nothing worth seeing, let's set out, but increase your vigilance, everyone.” Long Yi indifferently said then returned to the carriage.
A large contingent of troops began to set out again. As Blue Waves Continent was the world with the law of the jungle, that scene of just now merely gave everybody misgivings, nothing more. Therefore, all along the road, they just commented on it. Someone said this was the deed of Shui Linglong and some said this was the deed of a hidden expert. Everyone had diverse views.
As for Long Yi, after entering the carriage, he remained silent and his eyes were unfocused. Sometimes, he would laugh and sometimes he would frown, his expression was fluctuating. Nalan Ruyue wanted to ask what was wrong with him but again didn't dare to ask this critical question.
”Was it Wushuang? It should be, it seems, she still hasn't remembered her past, otherwise, why wouldn't she come to me?” Long Yi sighed in his heart and recalling every aspect of the time since he had encountered her for the first time, his heart became even more bleak and dreary.
And seeing Long Yi suddenly appearing lonely, Nalan Ruyue finally couldn't help pulling the sleeve of Long Yi and asked softly: ”What's wrong with you? Since the time you saw those frozen solid people, you are extremely depressed, do you know who had done that?”
Long Yi shook off the hand of Nalan Ruyue in annoyance and said: ”Don't bother me, let me have peace.”
Nalan Ruyue was startled, and grievance emerged in her heart, moreover, with her eyes turning red, tears threatened to fall down. Wasn't she just worried about him? But who would have thought that she would get no thanks for her good intentions? Furthermore, he found her annoying.
Nalan Ruyue took a deep breath enduring her tears, and to vent off her anger, she cursed in her heart nonstop: ”Cruel and unscrupulous dirty fellow, ungrateful stinking fellow, fickle d.a.m.ned fellow…”
Long Yi nevertheless was still immersed in his own thinking. And after an unknown period of time, he gnashed his teeth and said: ”Wushuang, you are my woman. I will never allow you to forget me, never.”
Thinking this, the eyes of Long Yi glimmered with incomparably firm radiance. Only after this, his heart lightened and he came back to his senses.
After coming back to his senses, he saw Nalan Ruyue was facing him with her back, and Xiao Cui was hatefully glaring at him as if she was dying to bite him.
”Eh, this atmosphere appears somewhat not too right, what's going on with you two? Xiao Cui, do you and I have an enmity? Why on earth are you looking at me like this?” Long Yi shrugged his shoulder and asked.
”Humph, don't talk to me, I have never thought you were such person.” Xiao Cui turned her head and her tone of speaking was 70-80% similar to her master Nalan Ruyue.
Long Yi was startled, and could roughly guess that he might have offended this master and servant pair.
Until next day, Nalan Ruyue truly didn't speak a single word with Long Yi, and also didn't give him a good face, truly making Long Yi to sigh in his heart: ”Women, no matter how dazzling halo they had around their body, beneath the surface, their heart was pinpoint like minuscule.”
Along with the rolling of the wheels of the carriage, ten days had already pa.s.sed. Long Yi and his group had already pa.s.sed through several big cities and were already about to arrive the capital city of Nalan Empire, Blue Moon City.
And to the pleasant surprise of Long Yi, the closer they were to Blue Moon City, the weather was the more pleasantly cool. Moreover, the scenery was also extremely refined. It wasn't rugged like Hengduan mountains, wasn't showy like Violent Dragon Empire and also wasn't bleak like Proud Moon Empire. It however was exquisite like a fairy and had blue water and green mountains. Here birds were singing and flowers gave forth fragrance and had very rarely seen sceneries. Even the constructs of this city were so exquisite. Furthermore, there wasn't majestic aura but have a special aura that emotionally affected the people.
Traveling all the way, Long Yi came to the conclusion that Nalan Empire was definitely the most suitable country for human habitation, but there was a prerequisite, i.e. in peacetime.
Now, with the repet.i.tive warfare with Proud Moon Empire, more than half of the border cities had already been destroyed and all the common people of Nalan Empire were also panic-stricken. Because of many families' youngsters had responded to the call to enlist themselves in the army for this war, each time, when the name list of casualties in a large-scale or small-scale wars was published, there were always some white-haired elderly people, young wives and also children lamenting. The sorrowful atmosphere enveloped the entire Blue Waves Continent's sky which was completely incompatible to the refined scenery.
A large contingent of troops went over to an unusually broad street encountering those caravan, travelers and so on in an endless stream.
”Ah, it's the carriage of imperial family and Lightning Mercenary Group. Princess Ruyue and lord son-in-law are back. From now on, we don't need to be scared.” A pa.s.serby excitedly said to his companion. The arrival of Nalan Ruyue and Long Yi would bring about a chain reaction to Nalan Empire as well as the entire Blue Waves Continent, generally, everybody knew this.
”Yes, Yes, Proud Moon Empire has pushed us too hard. They have killed many officers and soldiers of our nation, but this time, joining the hands with Violent Dragon Empire, we will definitely wipe out Proud Moon Empire.” That companion hatefully said, presumably his family member or friends might have lost their lives in the war.
The troops slowly marched forward and they could vaguely see the city gate in the front.
Long Yi lifted the window curtain of the carriage and stuck out his head. Suddenly, a burst of pleasantly cool wind blew over and he could smell a little salty smell of the sea. And with his ears perking up, he could indistinctly hear the sounds of sea waves too.
