Legend of the Asura

Chapter 240: Crisis of the City of Ice

Opening the map, they found that they were at the City of Ices respawn point. The city itself was less than an hour away and to the west of that was Extreme Glacier that was separated from the City of Ice. Feng Xiao measured it with his eyes and with Xiao Bais current move speed, it would take three hours to get there and it would take three more hours to go from the edge to the core.

Lets go. Well go to the City of Ice first, there should be cold resistance stuff there. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the residents here to last that long under the cold weather here.

The temperature here was at least -30 degrees. Even Chen Bing couldnt help shivering. If it was a normal person, they would be frozen and unable to say a single thing. Closing the map, Feng Xiao called out Xiao Bai and then pulled Chen Bing on.

Carrying a man other than its master, Xiao Bai had wanted to get angry, but then its feeling of disgust suddenly calmed down. It let Chen Bing sit on its back and even while it was flying, it looked at him with its tiger eyes.

This was his first time on a tiger, but there wasnt a single ripple on Chen Bings ice cold face. He clenched his teeth to resist the cold here, but even though it was so cold that it froze him to his bones, he strangely liked this feeling.

At the same time, in the royal palace of the City of Ice.

It was a beautiful hall that had several finely carved jade columns with night pearls inlaid on them on both sides. The ice crystal ground reflected everything in the hall, giving off a magnificent ice cold beauty. Two rows of ministers in thick hide stood on both sides, respectfully bowing their heads to the woman sitting in the center of the hall.

On the luxurious crystal throne that had dots of gold sat a white clothed woman. She had an ice crown on her head that symbolized the highest authority in the City of Ice. Under that ice crown was a face that was unparalleled, just like a noble snow lotus. The snow white skin shined under the long blue hair, just like ice matching against crystal.

After a while, the ice blue eyes slowly opened and the beautiful glow in them seemed to light up the entire hall. Only her expression was just too cold, so cold that it froze everything like ten thousand year old ice.

Seeing that this ice cold and dignified Snow Empress finally reacted, the minister let out a sigh of relief before receiving four words.

It is not permitted!

But your majesty, if the temperature keeps falling like this, my city An old minister quickly came out as he braced himself for her stern look.

Humph! The Snow Empress cut him off with a cold snort, The prestige of the Azure Dragon is not something humans can offend. If the dragon prestige is offended, then youre just looking for a path of death.

But your majesty, the people have lived in this freezing cold for three years and it is very painful for them. There are countless deaths by freezing each year. If we keep this up, then it will lead to civil strife. How could the old minister not know that offending the Azure Dragon would destroy their country, but they didnt have a path to back down.

The City of Ice was close to the Extreme Glacier and was very cold. The people that lived in this place covered in snow had already adapted to the coldness here. But for an unknown reason three years ago, the Extreme Glacier that the Azure Dragon hibernated in became even colder while the City of Ices temperature dropped. It even reached a point that these people who were used to the cold couldnt adapt to. What was even more terrifying was that the temperature kept dropping. If this continued, the City of Ice would be in a hopeless situation.

How could this one ignored the difficulties of the people? This one has a way, did you all forget about this ones divine power? The Snow Empress cold eyes calmly looked around.

The old minister was surprised to hear this before his expressions changed and he knelt down. The other ministers all had the same reaction and all kneeled down.

Your majesty! You mustnt! You mustnt! The city can endure the cold, but it definitely cant lack your majesty! The faces of the ministers were filled with fear as they understood what the Snow Empress meant.

Theres no need to say anything! The Snow Empress slightly knitted her delicate brows and her ice cold voice had more of the majesty of an empress, This one has already decided and this one will be fine!

Before seeing that person, how could she die!

This The old minister suddenly looked up and said with a startle voice, Could it be that your majesty has already reached the realm of Magic God?

Thats right! The Snow Empress stood up, So although this ones divine power will completely scatter, it will not threaten this ones life. You can all be assured and leave!

Yes! The ministers all let out a sigh of relief as their looks of worry were replaced with looks of joy. If the Snow Empress used the method that only the empress could use, then there was nothing to worry about.

Although this would cause the Snow Empress to scatter all her Divine Power, as long as these old men were still here, no one could harm her at all. But speaking of this, she was the beautiful, noble, prestigious, and great Snow Empress that everyone in the City of Ice loved and respected, how could anyone think of harming her?

This is the City of Ice? As expected, it really upholds that name! Seeing the beautiful city covered in snowflakes, Feng Xiao gave a sigh of appreciation. He couldnt help wanting to take in all of this beautiful scenery. This pure white was definitely impossible in real life.

It didnt have the splendor of Heavenly Dragon Imperial City or the simplicity of Fire God City, but this city was beautiful and clean with a hint of simplicity. There werent tall buildings or conspicuous buildings. Everywhere they went was empty and the NPCs that passed by were covered in thick clothes while walking by quickly.

......three years ago, the temperature in this place suddenly dropped and its reached a terrifying level now. If this continues, humans wont be able to survive here anymore. The current City of Ice is filled with panic and rumours, as well as skyrocketing prices. If it wasnt because of the great distance of the Extreme Glacier, many people would have already left.

Xuanyuan Waners information came from his mind. Feng Xiao didnt say a word as he calmly walked through the streets.

No matter where he went, he would almost always find something strange. Just like the god of plague in the 21st century, Conan who brought death wherever he went. He was already slowly getting used to it.

[TL Note: Detective Conan reference.]

After walking in this cold wind for half an hour, he finally reached his destination. Feng Xiao hesitated a bit before pulling Chen Bing in.

This business street wasnt just deserted, almost all the stores had closed doors. This was completely different from the bustling scene in Heavenly Dragon Imperial City. As soon as they went in, there was a heat that hit them as the countless stoves in the store gave them the feeling of spring.

Seeing people coming in, the thickly padded old man looked up with difficulty. He listlessly said, There are few people who come to the store now. Wu, what do you want? We have cold resistant clothes hereUn?

The old man was surprised because the two in front of him were simply dressed. This was unbelievable in this cold City of Ice.

Could it be that you people are the same rare water magicians like the Snow Empress? The old man couldnt help secretly thinking as his eyes filled with respect and envy as he looked at them.

Feng Xiao looked at the items in the store.

Cotton Jacket: Defense +10, Cold Resistance +5%, Move Speed -5, Reaction -10.

Price: 300 Gold Coins

Fine Cotton Jacket: Defense +15, Cold Resistance +8%, Move Speed -5, Reaction -10.

Price: 1000 Gold Coins

Fox Fur Coat: Defense +50, Cold Resistance +10%, Move Speed -5, Reaction -10.

Price: 5000 Gold Coins

Snow Feather Robe: Defense +50, Cold Resistance +15%, Move Speed -2, Reaction -5.

Price: 20000 Gold Coins

Why are these cold resistant clothes so expensive! Feng Xiao knitted his brows. A single broken Cotton Jacket was 300 gold coins and the other things were even worse. Only a few people in the entire Chinese Server would be able to enjoy thisThis was such a bandit shop!

This old man cant do anything. With such bad weather, we havent been able to sell our stock and every stores prices have increased. This years price is already ten times more than what it was three years ago. The old man shook his head and gave a sigh.

Forget it, give me two Snow Feather Robes.

After the transaction was over, the old man didnt forget to remind them, You should go out less during this time. When the noble Snow Empress thinks of a solution to deal with this, then

The Snow Feather Robe was made out of feather from a Snow Bird, so it was magnificent and not heavy. After equipping, it just protected the body from the upper half to the feet. This kind of special cold resistant clothing could be put over normal equipment, so they could just put it over their own equipment.

Chen Bings face stiffened when he changed to the Snow Feather Robe as that unnatural look finally subsided.

Lets go, theres nothing good to see here. Putting the five stacks of Super Recovery Herb he bought from the pharmacy into his inventory, Feng Xiao pulled Chen Bing onto Xiao Bai and sped off towards the Extreme Glacier.

The scenery along the way was snow white and there were bits of snow that fell from the sky. Xiao Bai who was also snow white only revealed a few traces of purple as it sped past the snow. Only Feng Xiao who was equipped in pure black equipment was eye catching.

The two on the back of the tiger didnt say anything as they sorted out their own thoughts.

A piece of Thousand Year Old Profound Ice could preserve Rou Rou for half a yearNot enough! His bottom line was three pieces!

Although he had already decided that he would find that person who could use Angels Tears in half a year, he knew that his determination didnt mean that he would succeed. The Heavenly Dragon Continent was big and this person might not even exist. But no matter what, nothing could happen to Rou Rou.

Feng Xiao and Xiao Bais move speed reached 150, so the gorgeous white shadow dashed through the snow and only left behind faint footprints.
