Chapter 444 Searching
"Strange, I clearly heard some noise just now." Karen looked around and put her hands on her hips.
At this moment, the broken porcelain pieces made Mo Yan frown subconsciously. When he saw the half-eaten dessert in the broken plate at his feet, he finally reacted.
"Oh no, it's Funina!"
"What?" Kailin turned around in surprise.
Linnie walked out of the room, his expression serious: "Are you saying that the person standing at the door just now was the captain?"
"Well, look." Mo Yan nodded, then picked up the broken plate stained with cream on the ground. That should be the Qianling Mousse she had just taken from the kitchen, and there was still half left.
"So, she heard everything we said just now?" Karen's eyes widened, and everyone became anxious again.
"Hurry, she shouldn't have gone far. Find her quickly and don't let her do anything stupid!" Keli said seriously, which was rare for her.
Everyone nodded, and then split into three groups.
Clara led a group of troupe members to Funina's room; Mona, Zhao Heng and Zixuan searched between the floors; while Mo Yan, Kailin and Keli came to the front desk.
"Manager Mona!" Mo Yan said anxiously.
Hearing the sound, Mona, who was absent-minded at the counter, suddenly woke up.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Is there something else?" She looked up and saw the anxious expressions of the three people, and quickly stood up and asked.
"Have you seen Funina?" Kailin asked quickly.
Mona subconsciously held her chin and recalled: "Miss Funina? I did see her just now."
"Really, where is she now?"
"She said she wanted to go out for a walk." At this point, Mona looked at the two of them and asked, "By the way, did something happen between you? She looked very heavy."
"That's a long story. Where did she go?" Karen asked again.
Mona thought for a moment: "It seems to be heading towards the Yun Academy of Sciences."
"Cloud Academy of Sciences?"
"It's the gear tower in the center, Shadow Tyrant's territory." Mona replied with her hands on her hips.
"I see. Thank you!"
Karin went upstairs impatiently, told everyone where Funina was, and then they walked out of the hotel together and ran towards the Gear Tower.
……
Finina walked into the tower. She looked around at the house numbers and accidentally bumped into Rednos who was walking around the corner.
"Ah? Mr. Long Tianhao?" she exclaimed.
Seeing the person coming, Rednos folded his arms and chuckled, "It turns out to be Miss Finina. How come you have time to come to my place today?"
"I..." Finina hesitated, "Oh, I want to borrow the library, is that okay?"
"Library?" Rednor paused for a moment, then immediately understood. "So, you're looking for material for the script, right? Doesn't your troupe have a dedicated library?"
Finina scratched her cheek. "That's what I said, but I still want to find some new material, so..."
"Well, of course no problem, come with me." Redros said with a smile, folding his arms.
He turned and led the way, the sound of his heels tapping the floor being particularly clear in the corridor. Finina followed behind him, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her skirt, her heart pounding.
When they arrived at the library, Rednos deliberately took her to the storage area on the left where the history of Teyvat was written.
He turned around and said, "This is where all the books in the Abyss are stored. You can read as much as you want, but please be sure to put them back where they belong after reading."
"Well, thank you Mr. Tianhao." Funina nodded, then turned her gaze to the bookshelf.
After Rednos left, she searched carefully on the bookshelf and finally her eyes stopped on a record collection called "Glacier History".
Looking through the relevant catalog, she did not find any detailed pages marked with information about Phoenix, but she saw the record of the "Glacier Paladin" in the Ice Emperor's history book.
Out of curiosity, she quickly and carefully turned to the relevant page.
"Glacier Paladin, the legendary Ice Emperor's first contractor..." Finina tilted her head, was suddenly startled when she saw the words, and then continued to read in a low voice.
There are three Paladins: the Snow Phoenix Phoenix rules the "Frost Sky," the Fierce Tiger Sugnir governs the "Ice Mountain," and the Ice Rhino Solgale sits in the "Abyss." Since the Ice Rhino's failed rebellion and capture, his people have been expelled from the glacier to fend for themselves.
A thousand years later, during the Sangyang Rebellion, the Snow Phoenix Phoenix sacrificed herself to build a city to protect the "Frost Sky," ultimately restoring the dimension. After Xiao Xiangyu's death, her spirit dissipated in the glacier, and her position was inherited by the new Paladins, Pelvilli and Cleves.
After she finished speaking, Finina quietly closed the book. She looked towards the ceiling, feeling mixed emotions.
The Sangyang Rebellion happened 18 years ago for Abyss, and he was born the year after that.
"We met..." Phonina murmured to herself, "Phoenix, you are truly great..."
She admired the spirit of sacrificing one's own body to build a city and repair the dimension, but she was overwhelmed with an indescribable fear that such a hero was actually her predecessor.
"Am I really worthy of your honor now?"
She lowered her head and thought back to her childhood. Because of this power, almost no one with malicious intentions dared to approach her, but at the same time, no one with good intentions dared to stay easily.
The children in the orphanage were always whispering from a distance, saying that she was a monster, so she was lonely.
"Yes, Phoenix, I'm very grateful for your protection of me, but you've protected me so well that few people have ever treated me as a normal person since I was a child. If possible, I really want to have a good talk with you..."
She looked at the starry sky-patterned ceiling again, and unknowingly, she fell asleep.
She felt a chill in the dark, and when she opened her eyes again, the surrounding environment immediately became different.
She was standing on a vast expanse of glacier. The sky was leaden grey, dotted with tiny snowflakes. The snow beneath her feet buried her ankles, but the chill didn't penetrate her bones, instead, it felt like a gentle wrapping.
In the distance, icy peaks pierced the sky, a pale blue halo lingering on their summits. She walked slowly across the snow, gazing at her surroundings.
"Could it be... here?"
Before he finished speaking, a human figure suddenly appeared in the snow and fog before him. As the wind and frost passed by, the figure gradually became clearer.
The woman stood in the wind and snow, looking up at the snowy sky that blocked out the sun.
She wore a white phoenix robe tinged with blue, and the crown on her head shone coldly in the snow, casting a faint halo amidst the drifting snow. She reached out to catch the falling snowflakes, as if whispering to the glacier.
Sensing the girl's arrival, the woman slowly turned around, and her crystal high heels pushed aside the snow. The height of the snow instantly covered her soles and heels. In the snow mist, it was like she was walking barefoot in the snow.
Finina was shocked because the other person's face and hair color were somewhat similar to hers. Her blue-white hair fell on the snow, and as she moved, some ice crystals were brought up on the snow.
