On the frozen wasteland.
The snowstorm howled.
In the middle of the vast expanse of white frost, there was a section of land that gave off a sky-high glow.
Gu Qing Shan and Lola stood at the edge of the cliff, waiting for the quest to end.
"Why hasn't it confirmed that we've completed the quest yet?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Normally, it would take a bit more time to confirm, don't be hasty" Lola replied.
While they were talking, they seemed to have sensed something and went silent.
Only to see that the lava lake below was still rippling.
Following that, a strange object floated to the surface of the lava.
At a glance, it looked like a complete pine cone, about the size of a small boat that could fit 3-5 people.
Being soaked by the lava, the mud and dirt on the cone's surface slowly melted away, revealing a mysterious pattern on the shell.
From the looks of it, this large shell was originally hidden at the bottom of the ice abyss, guarded by countless Snow Fiends.
If it weren't for the legendary gun: Divine Bird of Flames Fenix playing its role and destroying the entire ice abyss, no one would have found this fruit.
"What exactly is this?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"A Frost Fruit" Lola had a strange expression on her face, "This is a fruit from a treasure tree in the Mystic Zones, it likes to hide in cold places, it can isolate its presence and resist all detection, its only weakness is that it's afraid of heat"
"No wonder it floated up" Gu Qing Shan nodded.
What a coincidence, if it weren't for the gun, this fruit would have continued to hide.
While they were talking, the fruit couldn't stay still in the lava anymore.
The surface of the fruit started to crack.
"Crack!"
The sound of something breaking could be heard.
The fruit broke into many pieces.
An ice crystal feather that gave off a chilling presence appeared in front of them.
It was propped up by a piece of broken fruit shell. For a moment, it had not come into contact with the boiling lava.
As soon as this feather appeared, the lava around it was quickly extinguished.
Large amounts of lava froze into grey-black rocks.
But this ice crystal feather had to fight against the entire lava lake, it wasn't strong enough.
The feather started to shake.
All of a sudden, a faint 5-colored glow appeared on the surface of the ice crystal feather.
Lola's expression changed.
She had already recognized the feather.
"Quick, save it!" Lola screamed.
"Alright."
Gu Qing Shan activated the Telekinesis Spell, stood on the cliff and waved her hand.
The frost feather flew into his hand.
The chill was bone-piercing.
A thin layer of frost crawled up his fingers and spread up his arms.
Gu Qing Shan used her spiritual power to temporarily resist the frost.
This level of ice elemental power did not pose a threat to him.
However, this was merely a feather, yet it possessed such power. Thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but feel surprised.
Gu Qing Shan squinted her eyes, carefully observing the ice crystal feather.
There was a faint trace of blood on the feather.
The feather left the lava lake, and the layer of colorful light surrounding it weakened a little.
Lola heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Gu Qing Shan acted in time. Otherwise, under the stimulation of the lava, the aura of the feather would have been completely exposed.
Still not feeling assured, she chanted an incantation on the ice crystal feather.
Slowly, the light on the ice crystal feather was absorbed back into the feather.
The feather returned to normal.
"Hoh — — I've hidden its presence, Triste won't be able to discover its existence" Lola sighed in relief.
Gu Qing Shan silently waited for her to finish before asking: "What is this?"
Lola's expression was a mixture of sadness and confusion.
"This is the feather of Ilya of the Frost of the Cold Night, seems like she used to hide here" Lola muttered.
"She's someone you know?"
"Yes, Ilya of the Frost of the Cold Night and Triste of the Light of Dawn, they were the two strongest people of the Bramble Birds"
"The Light of Dawn was in charge of security — — she was in charge of all the guards of the royal family, in charge of all matters of safety"
"Triste took advantage of the fact that we left the kingdom and came to Aboul to kill all of my family members and sealed off the news"
"What about Frost of the Cold Night?"
"She was in charge of all external warfare matters of the Bramble Bird Kingdom"
Gu Qing Shan realized the importance of this and raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"The entire army is under her command?" he asked.
"Yes"
"Why would she be here?"
Lola shook her head: "I'm not sure either. Originally, when we left, Triste was in charge of all security matters, while Ilya was in charge of defending the country — — so why would her feather appear here?"
Lola also fell into deep doubt.
What exactly is going on?
Gu Qing Shan was quickly thinking.
"I'll try to push it a bit, see if I'm right" he said.
"Very well" Lola replied.
"There's blood on the feather, seems like she was injured"
"Correct"
"Since she hid the feather, she was obviously afraid that Triste would find her"
Lola nodded: "The feathers of a Bramble Bird still contain immense power even after they shed them"
"If that's the case, she must have been injured in the outside world before being able to enter this world"
"How do you know she was injured in the outside world?" Lola asked.
"Because if she was injured in this world, it would mean that she had fought here. But I remember you saying that in a Bramble Bird world, other Bramble Birds can't leak their presence, otherwise they would be found out"
"From this, it can be deduced that she hadn't fought here, so her injuries must have been outside"
"That's right" Lola confirmed.
Gu Qing Shan continued thinking and quickly said: "Obviously, her sharp senses had noticed something, or perhaps she found out some secret information and became suspicious of Triste"
"That's why she came here — — but she was too late, Triste had already succeeded"
"Of the entire royal family, only you managed to escape"
"I believe that she only needed to ask around a bit to find out that Her Royal Highness the princess had gone missing"
Gu Qing Shan looked at Lola and quickly said: "Your parents were both replaced by imposters, and you went missing, Frost of the Cold Night Ilya would definitely investigate this"
"Even the Spirit of the Holy Tree couldn't find your whereabouts"
"That's why Frost of the Cold Night couldn't find you either, so she had no choice but to come to Triste's collection world — — to see if she could find you, as well as find out why Triste betrayed the royal family"
Gu Qing Shan thought about it from start to finish and nodded: "That should be the case"
After listening to this string of words, Laura was stunned for a while.
She felt that this person in front of her was a bit scary.
Fortunately, he was a member of the Justice Iron Fist Club.
"No wonder …" Lola muttered in a low voice, "No wonder I was able to seal this world so easily, it turns out the protective spells that Triste cast on the outer layer of this world had already been broken by Ilya. How laughable that I thought I was lucky to be able to seal this world"
"You made it so that Triste couldn't find this world, while she made it so that Triste didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, she did it much better" Gu Qing Shan praised.
While saying that, Gu Qing Shan fell into thought again.
He suddenly asked: "Frost of the Cold Night Ilya — — is she loyal to the royal family?"
"She is my godmother, she once swore to the Saint Bramble Tree to protect me"
"What about Triste?"
"She swore to become stronger, to protect everything that is worth protecting"
"How sly, then what will happen to someone who goes against the Saint Tree's oath?"
"The Saint Tree will absorb all of the Bramble Bird's mana"
Gu Qing Shan clapped her hand and said: "That's good enough, it seems Frost of the Cold Night is on our side, if we can find her, our chances of winning against Triste will be much higher!"
Win?
Lola froze.
From the beginning of the calamity until now, she only had a single thought in her mind.
That is, the Bramble Bird royal bloodline cannot be cut off, I have to stay alive, I have to escape.
But this man, as soon as he saw a single feather, he was already thinking of turning the tables.
Really …
Lola couldn't help but feel that she didn't know how to view this at all.
At this point, the voice from before finally spoke up.
[This Quest has been concluded]
[You have done very well, perfectly completing the first official Quest. If you can continue to do this well from now on, you will receive a generous reward after completing all Quests]
"And here I thought the reward would be given right now" Gu Qing Shan muttered.
The voice continued: [The second round: The Landing Battle is about to begin, please wait for one minute]
Gu Qing Shan and Lola both waited.
At this point, the War God UI changed a bit.
Since she had some free time, Gu Qing Shan stared at the UI, reading the glowing text that kept popping up.
