The room fell into silence. The elves' faces were expressionless. They silently looked at the empty space as if they were thinking about something.
The dwarf princess finished speaking. She sensed that the other party's reaction was different from what she had imagined.
"We will not obey or obey anyone else, be it the Demon King, the human king, or a king of the forest that we have never heard of. Friend, thank you for your suggestion, but we will not take it."
Elven Queen Kekeli said. To be precise, the queen should abandon her past name and be reborn as Isabella. However, for some reason, after the death of the previous queen, Kekeli, as the successor, did not transform into a part of the World Tree. That was why the elves were homeless.
This was also the reason for the disagreements among the elves. Without the protection of the World Tree, their forest was invaded by the elemental army. They had no choice but to leave their residence. They experienced a huge internal strife. Some of the elves who believed that Kekeli was not the queen chose to side with the elemental Demon King. Some formed their own faction and continued to stay in their original forest, waiting for the return of the real queen.
Of course, there were also those who believed that a human had stolen the seed of the World Tree and embarked on the path of searching.
Fu Yin felt that the other party seemed to have misunderstood her and hurriedly said, "No, no, you misunderstood. I did not ask you to side with Lord Richard. Perhaps you can make a deal with him, just like how we dwarves sought help from the elves in ancient times …"
Hearing this, the elves looked at each other. They seemed to have something that they could not say.
She felt that she had said the wrong thing. She should not have mentioned that Lord Richard ruled over many races. In the other party's ears, this was no different from inviting him to join her.
Finally, Kekeli sighed and said, "I'm sorry, I can't take the risk to ask for help from a conqueror."
Fu Yin left the room with a disappointed expression. She should also leave because the other party had also 'suggested' that she leave as soon as possible.
However, just as they were about to leave, an accident happened. They were involved in the battlefield.
…
Snowflakes slowly fell from the sky. Its trajectory was not vertical but moved with the wind, sometimes forward and sometimes backward.
Suddenly, something strange happened. The snow on the ground suddenly became transparent. To be precise, it seemed to be connected and frozen into ice. The oxen which had drawn the cart suddenly stopped, uttered a sound of reluctance, and struggled to move back.
The Dwarves shouted and scolded them for being disobedient beasts. The Rabbitmen hurriedly grasped the goods tied to the oxen. If they fell, it would take a lot of effort to tie them back.
The werewolf and the shapeshifting bodyguard looked in a certain direction, and the team became chaotic.
This kind of thing happened often, but Fu Yin felt that something was different this time. Her heartbeat quickened, and she seemed to be able to sense that these cows were afraid of something.
All of a sudden, Werewolf Blake's breathing became heavier. Mist kept coming out of his mouth, and his eyes became sharp.
In his eyes, the color of the world was not so colorful. Instead, it was gray. However, the speed of the snowflakes falling was a beat slower. He looked into the distance, and the field became smaller, but this way he could see farther.
"Something's wrong. We can't go any further."
He suddenly shouted nervously.
Everyone immediately paid attention. They were all doing the same thing, looking into the distance like the werewolf. However, the distance was like the calm surface of a lake, and there was no change.
But the werewolf was sure that he saw something, and by the time they saw the change, it would be too late.
"Turn back! Hurry! Don't care about these damn luggage, go back to the forest! Hurry! Damn Dwarves! Let go of that box. "
He became irritable, which was rare for him, and cursed loudly.
Fu Yin also felt that something was wrong. She turned back and shouted, "Everyone, listen to him, let's go!"
However, just as she finished speaking, there was a sudden change in the horizon. It seemed to have risen a little.
Waves?
Werewolf Blake had never seen the sea, but the waves probably looked like this.
The snow suddenly swept over, and everyone hurriedly fled. The huge rumbling sound covered all other sounds, and it caught up with them in a few seconds. Seeing that they could not escape, the werewolf immediately sped up and hooked the oxen's hind legs, causing it to fall into the snow. The person on the oxen's back also fell.
Then, an overwhelming amount of snow rushed over, and in the nick of time, the werewolf hid behind the oxen with the person who fell.
Boom!
There was a loud sound, and then their eyes, nose, and ears were stuffed with snow. They could feel that they were buried in the snow, and their voices were also covered, as if their ears were covered. Moreover, the hands were very cold.
Relying on the oxen's body temperature, the werewolf made it through. He supported the snow on top of him, and the weight was as heavy as a dozen adults on his head.
Breathing became more and more difficult, and there was not much air left. His eyes had also adapted to the darkness, and he only heard the person beside him say in a soft voice, "What happened?"
Of course, she was Fu Yin, and the werewolf could not not know. His nose was not for decoration, and she just happened to be the closest to him.
"I don't know."
The werewolf used the same soft voice to reply.
"But this is definitely not an avalanche."
He added. Of course, it was not an avalanche. How could such an avalanche happen on flat ground?
Storm? He did not know if the strong wind could cause such a snow wave. If it could, then there would not be a single tree on the ground.
"I don't know how the others are doing."
Fu Yin said worriedly. The werewolf did not know either.
"Shh, something is passing over our heads. Don't talk, save the air."
After that, the two of them stopped talking.
The air became more and more turbid. The oxen had died, and its breathing had disappeared. Its body temperature was also slowly disappearing, which made Fu Yin feel very sad.
After an unknown period of time, the sound above their heads gradually disappeared. The werewolf made a gesture to Fu Yin. She could not see it in the darkness, but she could understand the other party's meaning. Then the werewolf drilled out, and light shone in from the hole he broke open. Fu Yin was unable to open her eyes because of the strong light.
But for werewolves, they could quickly adapt to the difference in light because they were often chased out of dark caves. If they could not adapt, then they would crash into a wall or fall into an enemy's trap.
When he leaned out, he realized that the surroundings were completely different.
Broken ice pieces were all over the ground, and this was not ordinary ice. There was a dark blue liquid flowing on them, and there were also elven arrows on them.
What exactly happened here?
At this moment, Fu Yin also crawled out of the snow cave. She looked around and then shouted. Suddenly, she ran to a place and dug desperately on the ground.
Seeing this, the werewolf Blake looked around vigilantly and went over to help. He saw that in the place where they were digging, there was an ice sculpture buried in the snow. And it was their companion, a dwarf …
