Chapter 110: Snow Queen (1) (1/2)

“Wow.”

When the elevator they were riding on reached the underground…

Cordelia’s eyes widely opened in awe, while Jude also had a bit of an amazed expression.

‘I’m certain this is the ruins of Magellan, the magic kingdom.’

The fact that there were several buildings built inside a large cavity, which seemed to be about a dozen meters high from the ceiling to the ground, completely reminded them of Endymion.

To be more accurate, it could be called a mini-Endymion.

If Endymion was a city, the sight that spread out before their eyes could be called a small town.

“It’s the elves.”

Cordelia said as she pointed to one side, and Jude nodded. As she had said, lined up on the wall were stone statues of beings who had long ears, a trait unique to the elves.

‘The High Elves of Magellan.’

There were several similar statues in Endymion, but because of the very urgent situation then, they didn’t pay it much attention.

‘Was this structure built at the same time as Endymion?’

If Kaplan had been here, he would have looked around in excitement. He would have also answered Jude’s question.

Unfortunately, Kaplan was far away, and Jude had no archeological knowledge to guess the time period of the ruins.

‘But there’s a clue.’

As Jude looked back at the translucent woman, Cordelia suddenly poked his side.

‘Ah, right.’

Don’t give it weird looks.

Because the woman was actually naked.

However, her hair was very long that it covered everything that needed to be covered.

‘Umm.’

For a moment, Jude contemplated where he was going to look at the woman. The woman then opened her mouth and spoke.

“My…masters. Are…no longer…here. They…left…this place.”

Her gloomy voice made it seem like she would burst into tears at any moment.

“I missed…them, but I couldn’t see them…”

The woman’s shoulders eventually fell, and she began to sniff. Cordelia then patted Jude’s back.

She was telling him that she wanted to get off his back.

“Wait a second.”

Jude quickly untied the podaegi, and Cordelia got off his back and approached the woman.

“Are you all right?”

“I’m not okay. But I can’t…do much about it.”

She was like a child.

The woman spoke honestly and met eyes with Cordelia who felt sorry for her.

“Pretty. More than…my masters.”

“Eh? Uh…thank you. Hehe.”

Cordelia softly laughed and the woman also had a small smile before she turned around again and said.

“If you go…to the center…it becomes…clearer.”

What do you mean by clearer?

Cordelia tilted her head, but Jude seemed to understand what she meant.

Because the figure of the translucent woman had become a bit clearer than before they came down to the underground.

‘Her voice also has a little more presence now.’

Perhaps when they reach the center, her thinking abilities would improve.

“What, what is it? Why am I the only one who didn’t get it? Please explain it to me.”

“No, it’s that. As I had thought, Cordelia is very pretty. More than the high elves.”

“Hmph, of course I am. I’m Cordelia, okay?”

Cordelia shrugged as if to brag, but her face quickly turned red.

After all, she was Cordelia herself. And that was why she was embarrassed.

‘Because it’s not transmigration.’

It was reincarnation.

Her awareness that she had become Cordelia herself had grown stronger than before.

“What are you embarrassed about? It is true.”

“Eueueu.”

Cordelia blushed even more at Jude’s words, and she turned around to hide her embarrassment. Jude then said as he stepped forward.

“Anyway, let’s follow her. She has already gone quite far.”

“Come…quickly…”

The woman urged them at that perfect moment, and Cordelia also quickly moved.

“Here…this way…”

She headed for the center after saying that, and about 30 meters ahead of them, a large cylindrical structure that was like an elevator appeared again.

“Ride…down…on this…”

Another way down to the center.

Jude and Cordelia reached the elevator and got on it right away.

And around tens of seconds or so…

The elevator stopped after descending more than a dozen meters.

“Don’t be surprised. It won’t harm you.”

At the moment they heard her voice, Jude and Cordelia were astonished when they saw the woman.

Her figure no longer looked stretched or blurred. Her voice was also clear.

In addition, even her appearance was different.

She was still translucent, but unlike before, the woman was now wearing clothes that looked like a pure white racing suit.

“I’ll open the door.”

The elevator door opened when the woman moved her hand as she smiled at the gazes of the two, and Jude and Cordelia immediately understood why she told them not to be surprised.

“Wow.”

“Dragon vein.”

As soon as the door opened, a faint golden light poured in.

On the other side of the underground cavity was a flowing golden stream on where the wall should be.

“Is this the dragon vein?”

They had seen the dragon vein several times, but the viewpoint was different.

They had looked down at the flowing dragon vein from above.

But it was different now.

They were in the dragon vein itself. They weren’t looking down from above nor looking at it from the outside.

“Aquarium…no, is it more like an underwater hotel?”

It was a structure submerged in the dragon vein and was surrounded by glass walls.

“My masters built this facility in the dragon vein.”

The woman spoke with a small smile and stepped out of the elevator. Cordelia hesitated for a while before going out of the elevator.

“Pretty.”

It wasn’t just gold.

Multiple colored lights circulated in the flowing dragon vein. The brightness and intensity of each color changed depending on the flow, and white light appeared here and there, making it look like the sparkling of stars.

“I’m telling you in advance, but no explosions.”

“I won’t do it.”

“You can’t blow it up.”

“I won’t.”

Cordelia puffed her cheeks, but only for a while. She suddenly clapped her hands and looked back at Jude.

“But, but Jude. Wouldn’t exploding the dragon vein make it easier to cross the Sky Roof mountain range?”

Half of it would disappear like Violent Avalanche’s rocky mountain.

At Cordelia’s innocent idea, Jude flinched and said.

“N-no way. You demon. You can’t.”

What would happen if half of the Sky Roof mountain range got blown up?

A literal catastrophe.

An enormous catastrophe.

“But no one lives here anyway. There are no animals.”

It would be a mess, but nobody would die, right?

Jude froze for a moment at Cordelia’s words, and soon shook his head.

“No, what are you talking about? You know what will happen if half of this mountain range explodes, right?”

“Is that so?”

“That’s how it is. So let’s not do it. Do you understand?”

“Okay, okay. It was a joke anyway.”

Cordelia giggled and turned around again, while Jude stared at her with anxious eyes.

The woman then said.

“This way.”

“Yes!”

As Cordelia ran, Jude also headed towards the woman.

There was a large cylindrical pillar in the center of cavity.

Drawn all over the white pillar were multiple thin black lines, which was some sort of magic circle.

“What is this?”

At Cordelia’s question, the woman slightly smiled and then took a deep breath.

“I’ll start by greeting you. My name is Melissa. I am the artificial spirit who is in charge of the management of this facility.”

The woman, Melissa, politely introduced herself, and the two also introduced themselves.

“I am Jude Bayer.”

“I am Cordelia Chase.”
