"According to rumors, the palace of the Frost Queen is located at the highest point of the North Frellzöd Mountains, surrounded by air stairs leading to all directions. From the north to the coast of Lockfast, to the south to the tail end of the Iron Ridge Mountains, to the west to the vast central plains of Frellzöd, to the east to the North Valorland Plain, it can be said to be the center of the entire Frellzöd." Karthas slowly put down his hand and slowly opened his palms to face Chen Senran. "And because its overall structure is at the highest point of several peaks, looking up from the bottom of the mountain is almost like a city in the sky, so it is also called the city of the sky." As his words fell, his palms with metal gloves finally opened completely.

A rich purple light came out from his palm, and a dark eye slowly rose.

Karthas slowly turned his eye in front of Chen Senran's eyes. Under the beating oil lamp, a grand building on the top of the mountain flashed in the eyeball.

"The empire of the Frost Queen collapsed in one breath, and the horses of the foreign tribe stepped directly onto the roadbed of the Sky City." Karthas slowly closed the eyeball and continued the old past. "Everyone abandoned the queen and fled in scattered ways. Only the woman who once stood on the top of the world calmly wore her most luxurious clothes, sat high on her throne, waiting for the horses of the enemy to step into her palace, just as she was still meeting the foreign minister who was worshiping her."

"What then?" Chen Senran suddenly had a hint of interest. He was looking at the woman who could still stand high on her throne when the troops were at the city hundreds of years ago, looking at each pair of eyes that wanted to kill her, as if she was looking at a group of ants.

"When the entire palace is filled with murderous blades, the enemy's leader promised that as long as she lowered her head, she would gain life." Karthas's tone was still so plain, it was almost boring, "The queen just smiled, and then calmly cut off her head with her sword."

Although Karthas' tone was as plain as water, Chen Senran still felt the surging blood for no reason. He could even imagine the mockery and contempt in her eyes when the swordsman in the palace pointed at the lonely woman on the throne. When her head was cut off and held in her hand, her blood flowed, and her body must still be sitting there upright.

Because once a person stands at the highest point of the entire world, he will never be willing to lower his head and die again.

That is the way for the real emperor to die.

"It's admirable." Chen Senran sighed, feeling that he should have been in a row of three big white men.

However, stories are good stories, but they seem to have no value.

Chen Senran picked up the wick of the oil lamp and waited for Karthas to come to the next chapter. At this time, this old ghost would never come to tell the story in the middle of the night.

"After the Queen cut off her head, the God of Snow Mountain became angry. Perhaps she was really the daughter of Snow Mountain. The entire Sky City was covered with ice and snow in an instant, and none of the invaders came out alive." Karthas paused, "and just before the Queen's head was frozen, she suddenly spoke..."

Karthas's words were not yet finished, and the wind and snow outside the tent suddenly became as fierce as a ghost crying.

"She said, I will definitely come back." Karthas's tone became dry and cold at that moment. Coupled with the oil lamp that was suddenly dark in the tent, there was a sense of indescribable gloomy and terror.

"What?" Chen Senran didn't feel anything. He seemed to have heard too many similar ghost stories. He just glanced at the little loli in his arms. Fortunately, he was still sleeping, otherwise he should scream loudly.

"The curse in the snow-capped mountains says that as long as you get close to the sky city within a hundred yards, you will be entangled with the queen's resentment." Karthas continued to say in a stern voice, "and in my observation, that palace is our only way."

"Do you believe it?" Chen Senran thought the story was pretty good, but it was really a traitor. But at that moment he remembered Nunu's father's experience.

The expedition team that was completely wiped out.

"I believe." Kalsas's answer was beyond Chen Senran's expectations. You should know that even if Kalsas is at the level of a demon, he is still afraid of curses?

"Even if I observe from a distance, I still feel a lot of pressure." Karthas explained without waiting for Chen Senran to ask.

Chen Senran was silent. It seemed that the weirdness of that palace really existed, and it was a bit tricky for Karthas.

"How sure are you?" Chen Senran would not retreat. Now he can only rely on the big card Kalsas.

"I can't say it." Karthas shook his head, he didn't stop him. He knew that Chen Senran must do this, "I'm here to persuade you..." He said, "I'll just advise you..." He looked at the sweet little loli sleeping in Chen Senran's arms, and did not say anything else.

Chen Senran also turned his gaze to the cute sleeping face of the little girl in his arms again.

There was nothing to say for a moment, only the oil lamp in the tent jumped, making a sound of twitching from time to time.

"Is there another thing you want to do?" Karthas finally broke the long silence and changed the topic, "You have to know the danger ahead and I am still sure that I can't handle the guy behind."

Although Chen Senran had not told Kalsas about Nathers following him, it was not surprising that he could feel that someone was following him with Kalsas' strength.

"What do you think?" Chen Senran was a little absent-minded, and his eyes were still placed on Little Annie's face.

Karthas did not respond. He looked at Chen Senran's lowered head, and after a while, he stood up and said, "Since you have thought of it yourself, I won't disturb you." He seemed to yawn and turned around and began to walk out.

"Let's go slowly." Chen Senran still lowered his head. He stroked the little girl's eyebrows and eyes carefully, stroked the messy hair on her forehead, and his eyes flashed and dark.

"Actually, really." Karthas lifted the curtain of the tent, but no wind and snow poured in. He stood at the entrance of the tent, and there was endless darkness outside. "You shouldn't have brought her here."

The curtain fell, and the wind, snow and darkness were locked outside again.

Chen Senran still lowered his head, the oil lamp was in a daze, reflecting his ordinary face. He looked at Little Annie's face for a long time.

Listening to the steady breathing, Chen Senran sighed and decided to get up.

Lao Du is next door, and you can get there with just thirteen steps. He takes Anne who is sleeping. Even if it is windy and snowy, he can probably walk far a night, and there will be no danger in the distance.

Good night, girl.

Chen Senran gently kissed the little girl's forehead, gently placed Annie on the couch, and prepared to get up.

Just as he was about to get up, the little girl who was still sleeping shrank, pulled the corner of Chen Senran's clothes, and murmured, "Xiao Sensen, don't leave."
