Chapter 2809: Freezing

The smiling God did not think Xia De's curiosity was an offense. He still stood near the telescope under the star map:

"Even without the chaos of the change of eras, this place would eventually disappear sooner or later. There is a beginning and there is an end. This is the same for humans, for this academy, and for the world."

"The reason you understand is the real reason. This academy was established in the First Era, experienced countless springs, summers, autumns, and winters, and listened to I don't know how many times the snow melted and the rain fell. It was able to persist until the end of the Fourth Era before disappearing, which is already luckier than those things that have long been forgotten."

"But didn't you also once give lectures to mortals here? Why didn't you..."

Xia De felt the Green Dragon behind him tug at him again, and the God shook his head slightly:

"Why stop it? It's not that someone destroyed this place out of malice, nor is it that someone used tricks out of blasphemy. The sun rises and sets. If the old things don't leave, new things will never be born."

He even smiled and made a joke:

"It might even be called an 'old thing'."

Xia De felt as if he understood something:

"If this academy was just simply abandoned, then how did it become what it is today?"

"Do you want to investigate the reason for the existence of this kind of special space-time? Sorry, although I am very willing to teach knowledge, but for this alone, you need to explore the secret yourself."

He was originally standing with his hands behind his back. At this moment, his left hand stretched out toward Xia De, so the two floating stone slabs flew to the front of the God together. The God raised his hand and touched them in turn, and also left his holy emblem on the back of the two stone slabs.

This was the reason Xia De came to find the God. He lowered his head to express his gratitude, and then smiled and said:

"I originally thought that I would have to find you twice for this trip."

"I don't want to make things difficult for you. Since you have already made preparations, there is no need to repeat those useless steps."

The God said, and the stone slabs flew back again:

"This academy probably won't last for too long. Outsider guest, the next time will be the last time. If you want to witness the last moment here, then speed up your preparation."

He said, and turned into dots of light and disappeared in the closed astrology hall. Xia De subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head slightly and said:

"The God has left. Should we search here before leaving, or leave now?"

The Green Dragon young lady cautiously looked over Xia De's shoulder, confirmed that the God had really left, and the tail curled up behind her finally relaxed:

"I was really scared just now. You are really bold, daring to ask those questions directly. Mortals need to respect Gods, not only because Gods are powerful, but also because they are protecting us... Let's leave now. I really miss those fires."

"Since the God appeared here, this place should be regarded as a 'Sanctuary', and we shouldn't mess around with things here."

Xia De nodded. He didn't have much time, and Iruna and Miss Vilde were still waiting for him, so he didn't check here carefully. However, before leaving, he looked through the books piled by the wall, and then found that these were all basic astrology textbooks, and used ancient texts from a long time ago, so he didn't take them.

After seeing the God last time, Miss Grey Wolf let Xia De carry her for a while before she could act, but Miss Vilde didn't have this trouble this time.

On the way back into the water, she evaluated Xia De's performance just now again. It wasn't a reprimand, but she just thought he did something inappropriate.

"My teacher, and my teacher's teacher, and my teacher's teacher's teacher, were all very amazing witches who had come into contact with Gods. But they also said that one must maintain respect and humility in front of Gods."

It was still her leading the way in front, but this time Xia De was almost swimming side by side with her.

"They are very right."

The Green Dragon young lady was satisfied:

"Speaking of which, this is also the first time I have been so close to a God. I probably understand what the teachers meant a little bit. What they meant should be to pay attention not to lose composure out of fear due to excessive mental pressure."

Xia De asked with great interest:

"Is your teacher a demigod witch?"

"Not yet, but it should be soon! She is not a pure-blood dragon, but she achieved achievements that so-called pure-blood dragons couldn't reach at a very young age. She is the youngest thirteenth-rank dragon witch of our era!"

Miss Vilde was quite proud of this, so Xia De also recalled Fiona:

"I also know a thirteenth-rank dragon witch. Speaking of which, I haven't seen her for two months."

The Green Dragon young lady was a bit embarrassed again:

"Although I call her teacher, in fact... I don't want to exaggerate my talent. That's what mediocre people do. I entered Saint Byrons as a maid. I didn't expect that when I signed the contract to be a maid, I was given the status of a student. Later, the teacher saw that my maid work was done very well, so she took me as an apprentice."

She was quite grateful and admired her teacher:

"My talent is not very good, I just took advantage of my bloodline. You see, among the five of us, Miss Metz is very pious, that werewolf doesn't look ordinary at all, and I wouldn't be surprised if she suddenly received divine revelation one day. You and Miss Beiya are not as high-ranked as me, but I guess if we really fight, I probably can't beat you, right?"

Her tail curled up slightly again:

"Last time when searching with her, the way she used the 'Sunlight Gun' was really fierce, which scared me. The Sunlight Gun itself is very restrictive to dragons."

Saying this, she turned her head and looked at Xia De again, and finally asked the question she hadn't been embarrassed to ask again before:

"You are also a dragon, right? Or rather, you have dragon blood, right? I can feel your bloodline is very noble, and it's easy for dragons to get close to..."

Saying this, she was blushing a bit. Fortunately, it couldn't be seen clearly in the dark water bottom.

Xia De immediately denied:

"I have nothing to do with dragons, just encountered a descendant of the Dragon God before, and then some things happened."

Because this involved an important major event in the Sixth Era, Xia De didn't explain in detail. And the Green Dragon young lady nodded lightly. She only understood this sentence:

"It must have been after completing some heroic feat worthy of being recorded in history that you received such a blessing, right? That must be a very tortuous but also romantic story. You probably don't know yourself that as long as it is a dragon with wisdom and reason, they will know that you are a person who can be trusted when they see you, and should not be easily hostile to you."

Xia De was about to say that he had just encountered a dragon beast with no reason at all, but suddenly grabbed Miss Vilde's hand and asked:

"Now, can you hear strange sounds nearby?"

The dragon young lady, who was a bit embarrassed because she was held by Xia De, listened carefully. The rustling sound then entered her ears. At this time, the position had reached the third-floor stairwell of the tower, which was the position where they encountered that huge black catfish just now:

"Heard it, very slight, but what is this sound... Mr. Hamilton, do you, feel your body starting to get cold?"

In the rustling freezing sound, the water body surrounding this crooked tower began to freeze. At the same time as the Green Dragon young lady's voice fell, the ice layer quickly surrounded the two from top, bottom, left, and right. The coldness around had already made ice blocks appear in the field of vision. Almost in the next second, the pain caused by freezing made the dragon witch scream.

She wanted to say something, but found that she couldn't move at this time.

The astronomical tower was frozen at the bottom of the water, and she was frozen in the tower. Although the blood in her body was still flowing, that bone-chilling cold had already quickly affected her body functions.

The fire in her lungs gathered quickly, but that mouthful of fire hadn't been spat out yet, and was directly suppressed and extinguished by the coldness that rushed into her lungs along her mouth and nostrils. Not only that, that coldness immediately caused serious damage to her lungs, and the pain made her want to turn back into her dragon form immediately to break free from the freezing.

It was just that instinct told her it was best not to do this. This coldness was not just low temperature at the surface level.

Next, it was only the time of two or three breathing cycles, and even her soul felt numb. It was just the numbness of the whole body, but it highlighted that her right hand was still normal. Looking carefully, the right hand area clearly still existed warmth.

The head, which had become a bit dull because of the cold, was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Xia De was still holding her hand. Although her head couldn't move, the witch still noticed the firelight refracted in the ice layer at this moment.

Xia De, who was also frozen, only felt that the original fire flowing in his body seemed to be angered, and was activated at once without his excessive control.

As the first crack appeared from his eyes, crimson cracks quickly spread all over his body, and then the furious flames flowed out from every pore on his body, slowly melting the surrounding ice layer.

Five seconds later, he was already able to move every joint of his body in the ice block. Ten seconds later, the right hand that Miss Vilde was holding with Xia De completely broke free from the shackles of the ice layer. Twenty seconds later, the shivering Miss Vilde was completely rescued by Xia De.

She hugged herself with her hands, her face pale, and her tail directly wrapped around her waist. Looking around again, the ice layer was melted into a huge hole by the flames, and the flames at the edge of the hole were still continuously confronting that coldness.

She only persisted for two seconds before she couldn't stand still. Xia De supported her, and then pressed his left hand on his chest:

"Inner Fire."

After taking out that warm golden light, Xia De pressed it on...

【Why aren't you moving?】

"She" asked Xia De with a smile. Xia De blinked hesitantly, but seeing that the Green Dragon young lady's face was really not good, he apologized in a low voice, and then carefully pressed that golden light toward her chest—I don't know why, every dragon young lady Xia De knew had a quite good figure. ===== CHAPTER 2810 =====
