The time it took to return to Delisa was much longer than the time to go to Belen Glacier Lake, because when walking back, they encountered the first extremely cold ice storm since the beginning of winter in Dalyat. Although

With Leo and Sylvia's ability, it is not difficult to walk in an ice storm, but their beasts of burden cannot walk in the ice storm for a long time, which makes them have to temporarily live in a small village on the road for a few days.

sky.

With the pass signed by the Snow Queen, the two received the best care in the village. From conversations with the villagers in the past two days, they learned that the extremely cold ice storm after winter came much earlier this time, but the Queen was still there

This was expected more than a month ago, so officials were sent to various places to supervise the storage of food for the winter, the reinforcement of houses, the storage of heating firewood, etc. Therefore, even though the ice storm was much earlier this time, there was no protection.

What trouble did the people of Liat cause.

In addition, Leo and Sylvia also learned an interesting news, that is, the existence they were hiding from the ice storm had several out-of-control Familia that appeared that night not long ago. Those Familia all mutated into monsters and attacked.

Villagers.

At that time, a task force sent by the Queen arrived in time to rescue the villagers, causing very few casualties to the villagers.

In this incident, two pieces of information aroused Leo's interest, that is, the Queen's task force targeting these mutated Familiars was able to appear in time after the incident. It felt as if she knew in advance that there would be mutations in the Familiars here.

Another thing is the weapons used by those task forces. It is not difficult to tell from the descriptions of the villagers that the weapons used by those task forces are very different from the weapons in the Velen world. They are neither firearms that use special bullets nor weapons that use special bullets.

Mechanical weapons such as steam engine crossbows seem to use some kind of energy weapons.

The villagers described a ray of light shooting out of a silver-gray box and hitting the monster. Then the monster lay limp on the ground as if its bones had been taken away, allowing others to tie it up. This kind of weapon and effect

It reminded Leo of the riot weapons commonly seen on spaceships.

Unless it is a battleship or a specially designed spaceship, ordinary civilian spaceships rarely install defensive armor on the inner armor or walls of their spaceships. This is not only because of money issues, but also because of weight issues, so on these spacecrafts

If a powerful mist such as an energy weapon is used, it is likely to penetrate the hull and cause damage to the hull.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, there are very few energy weapons and weapons of mass destruction in the security equipment on civilian spacecrafts. Most of them are riot weapons such as stun guns and paralysis guns. These weapons have no effect on any objects.

What kind of destructive power can't penetrate ordinary armor, but it can subdue most living things similar to humans, just like the villagers saw members of the task force subdue the family members.

From some details, Leo speculated that what they were using was a paralyzing gun that acted on spinal nerves. This kind of gun shot out an ultra-high-frequency sound wave, using sound wave vibration to damage the nervous system and paralyze the enemy. When the villagers saw

The light is actually ultra-high frequency sound waves.

This reminded him that Leah Venestan might have already possessed some weapons and equipment from cosmic civilizations, and had mastered the methods of using them, and among those weapons, it was probably not the best among those she had mastered.

After Leo made his inference, he also told Sylvia his inference, and Sylvia only showed a little surprise, but quickly returned to normal, and said that since Lia Wei

Nistan grew up in the engine room, so it shouldn't be difficult to master these things.

After hearing Sylvia's words, Leo couldn't help but look down at the universal recorder on his wrist.

Although Sylvia's words make sense, Leo doesn't think Tully will teach Leah Winestine any knowledge about weapons and equipment, and if Leah Winestine really masters weapons,

If she has knowledge about equipment, she will not be at a disadvantage in the battle with Saran, the king-selector.

However, neither Sylvia nor Leo spent much energy on this matter, because no matter what Leah Winenstein mastered or possessed, it had little to do with them who were about to leave.

The extremely cold ice storm lasted for three days and then began to gradually weaken. Leo and Sylvia also said goodbye to the village and continued to walk in the direction of Delisa. At this moment, the ground was covered with a thick layer of snow.

, beasts of burden that move around in the north all year round, use their wide soles to easily support their bodies in the snow, and move slowly forward.

Perhaps in order to prevent people walking in the snow from losing their way, Dalyat built a sign tower at each traffic artery. There are tower keepers in the tower and some food is also stored. If someone is walking in the snow,

If you are in trouble, you can look for lights and take refuge in the instruction tower.

On the vast white land, the two of them followed the route provided by the lighthouse and spent several days returning to Delisa. Coincidentally, at this time, Delisa's wintering festival was coming soon.

The Winter Festival in Dalyat is a fixed festival, but the time when the Winter Festival is held is not fixed. Towns near the endless ice fields in the north will celebrate the Winter Festival earlier than the towns in the south of the kingdom, while the Winter Festival in Dalyat is generally held.

It was chosen to be held on the sixth day after the first extreme cold ice storm occurred, which happened to be the day after Leo and Sylvia returned.

After Leo and Sylvia returned to Delisa, they immediately received an invitation from Leah Venestan for tomorrow's Winter Festival banquet. Originally, they planned to refuse the invitation. They planned to pack their bags and leave, but

When they found Tessa Mocha, they found that she had not recovered yet, so they had to stay here for a few more days.

Compared to when I saw Tessa Mocha a few days ago, she is much better at this time. At least the plants have disappeared and she has returned to her human form. However, the green color of her body makes her look a little strange, and she has not yet

Wake up from coma.

Both Leo and Sylvia could feel the strong vitality contained in Tessa Moka's body, and they could also sense that Tessa Moka was sending messages to them through her vitality, telling them that they should wake up in the next two days.

come over.

Therefore, Leo and Sylvia did not say anything more and decided to stay here for two more days. After the winter festival tomorrow, they will leave regardless of whether Tessa Moka wakes up or not. Then they only need to find a shelter.

For larger snow beasts, just tie Tessa Mocha to the tent on the back of the snow beast.

The next day, Leo and Sylvia did not attend the Winter Festival banquet hosted by Leah Venestan at the palace. Instead, they went to Delisa City to participate in various activities held by various communities and guilds in the city.

Leo has also seen a winter festival held in Ice Bear County, but perhaps due to the plan of the Grand Duke of Ice Bear at that time, the winter festival in the capital of Ice Bear County did not have a festive atmosphere at all, and now Delisa's winter festival

It's obviously a lot more lively.

Various activities are held in the city, and people out for fun can be seen everywhere. There are local citizens, businessmen coming and going, and foreign travelers specially participating in the winter festival. Jugglers from all over the world will perform on the streets.

While getting a lot of applause and making a lot of money, the priests of the Ice and Snow Goddess Church will also come to join in the fun. They send their own choirs to sing the songs of the Ice and Snow Goddess on the streets, and earn a lot of money.

Praise from believers.

However, when the whole city was immersed in the joy of the festival, there was also some minor disharmony, that is, some drunken and troublesome people threw themselves into the family's residential complex to cause trouble. As a result, they were beaten up and even

He was caught by the city guard and imprisoned.

Although, because of the strength of the Snow Queen, the ordinary people in Dyliat and the family members who moved here have always maintained a relatively peaceful state, without constant conflicts like other places, but as the world changes, more and more people

The physical mutations of many Familia are becoming more and more obvious, and some Familia have completely mutated into inhuman monsters in front of people. Ordinary people who witness all this will naturally feel scared and disgusted. For a time, various rumors begin to spread under the calm situation.

With.

Among all the rumors circulating, one is the most widely circulated, that is, the mutations in the bodies of these Familia are diseases, and if normal people are exposed to them for a long time, they will be infected and become monsters.

Although this rumor was quickly suppressed by the Dalyat officials and defined the incident as the work of spies from an enemy country with the intention of undermining the stability of Dalyat, this rumor is still widely circulated among the people.

, and has been recognized by many people, which has also caused many cracks in the originally fragile peaceful relationship between ordinary people and the dependents in Dyliad.

"It seems that Daliat, the place where the family members have taken refuge, is probably not far away from the turmoil." While those people were making trouble, Leo and Sylvia were also watching the situation not far away, watching.

After the troublemakers were taken away, Sylvia couldn't help but sigh.

"It won't be that bad. I think Leah Venestan should have thought about this situation, and she should also have countermeasures." Leo shook his head, rejected Sylvia's inference, and reminded: "

Don’t forget, Leah Venestan is transforming, and when she completes her evolution, the problems in your eyes will no longer be problems.”

Sylvia did not refute Leo's words. In fact, after returning to Delisa, although she did not see Leah Venestan, she already felt a strong force being nurtured from the palace.

The power made her feel the urge to surrender just by feeling it. If the dragon blood in her body hadn't awakened her in time, she might have surrendered to Leah Venestan.

After this little episode, the two of them continued to walk around the city, or watch a sideshow in a tavern, or go to a store to buy some gadgets with local characteristics, and lived a very leisurely life.

At noon, the two of them bought some food and came to the central square of the city.

At this time, the square had been transformed into an ice rink by the city government, and many people played here.

Leo and Sylvia found a relatively quiet place, eating and watching the hilarious crowd in the ice rink.

At this time, Sylvia suddenly said: "I gave that thing to her."

Leo was stunned for a moment, and soon realized what Sylvia was saying, so he asked: "Where was her reaction?"

"She probably hasn't gotten it yet." Sylvia shook her head and said, "The thing was given to the palace attendant as a gift. According to some inspection procedures, it may take some time before she can see it."

"Yeah." Leo nodded, and when he was about to say something, the snow in front of them suddenly started flying, and instantly transformed into Leah Venestan, who looked at her seriously.

Looking at Leo and Sylvia, he said, "Come to the palace and see me."

After saying that, he dispersed his form. The whole process was very fast and did not attract the attention of other people around him.

"Is this an order?" Sylvia was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said.

"It seems like that thing touched her quite a bit." Leo frowned and said.

Sylvia stuffed the food in her hand into her mouth regardless of the appearance, then patted the crumbs on her hand and said while chewing the food: "What a heart-sucking guy!"

In this way, the two of them ended their visit to Delisa City and returned to the Ice and Snow Temple. However, it was obvious that Leah Venestan couldn't wait any longer. She had already sent someone waiting outside their room before they could change their clothes.

, then led them to the palace and all the way to Leah Winenstein's private garden.

From the mouths of the attendants, they knew that the garden they were heading to was Leah Venestan's forbidden area. No one, including the palace minister, was allowed to enter here. In a way, Leo and Sylvia were the first

The fact that a guest set foot in this private garden naturally alerted other nobles attending the banquet in the palace, so on the way the two of them could see many nobles looking at them with curious eyes, seeming to guess their identities.

.

Soon they came to the corridor leading to the garden. After the palace attendant arrived at the door, he stopped and motioned for the two of them to go in by themselves.

Leo and Sylvia didn't think much, they walked directly into the passage and soon arrived at the garden entrance.

However, after seeing the gate at the entrance to the garden, Leo and Sylvia couldn't help laughing, because this gate should be modified from two armor plates and looked very similar to the inner wall steel plate in the engine room.

Leo stepped forward and opened the door, and the garden that made all the nobles in Dalyat extremely curious appeared in front of them. After seeing this garden, he and Sylvia couldn't help but smile, because this garden was similar to the one in

The garden seen in the engine room is exactly the same. Not only the layout, but even some of the plants are exactly the same. They are obviously rearranged according to that garden. At this moment, Leah Winenstein is standing in the garden holding the wooden doll.
