[Episode 621] Choice and decision.
Heart of Solvent.
I had to swallow my saliva at the words of the princess.
I forcibly moved my stiff head and looked at the ice crystal.
The feeling of cold chill compressed and compressed again.
It is a perfectly round object, as if it had been carved by a delicate sculptor.
Also huge. A block of ice the size of a normal shelter.
It’s strange that it’s an egg…
‘Is that a heart?’
It was unbelievable that the heart, which is the center of the body, was even more so.
‘That’s a solvent too?’
Dragon Emperor.
Predictably, it was an existence presumed to be a blood demon.
The heart of such a blood demon is an ice crystal.
What is the situation in the North Sea far from the midfield?
‘Even…’
A space in which certain conditions must be met to enter.
It is said that the blood relatives of the Ice Palace have been living there.
It was a completely incomprehensible situation.
I looked at Bingjeong and asked.
“…is that a heart?”
“hmm.”
The princess who heard my question said,
“I guess you knew, seeing as you didn’t mention the solvent?”
this.
Feeling the slip of the tongue, he frowned.
I did something different than usual.
“Don’t be so surprised. That’s why I don’t care.”
“…”
“If you ask me if that’s the heart, that’s what I’m looking at.”
“…Are you saying that only the princess is watching that?”
“exactly. After all, the history of the palace described it as an egg.”
Alra.
Leaving behind the question of what it is called an egg.
‘surely. It’s correct to see it as an egg rather than a heart.’
It was hard to see because it was a heart that looked like that.
If you’re going to argue, it would be better to see it as an egg.
“Why do you think it’s the heart even though you know that?”
He had to first hear why the princess thought so.
In response to such a question, the princess takes a step closer to the ice crystal and continues her conversation.
“Does Confucius know when the severe cold in the North Sea started?”
“…well?”
Well, since when
In the first place, I only heard that the North Sea is a cold land.
When asked when it was cold, I had no idea.
Because I wasn’t very close to studying history.
Let’s say it with a somewhat stupid expression. The King sees this and smiles slightly.
“It is true that the North Sea is a place where winters have always been as cold as a severe cold. It was not a place where the four seasons were cold like this.”
I had to make a strange expression while listening.
A land covered with snow all year round and severely cold.
It was now the North Sea.
“Spring was warm, summer was hot, and autumn was rich, and the land welcomed a cold winter. That was the North Sea in the past.”
A place that is not very different from the midfield.
that it was the North Sea Now the princess was talking to me.
but.
‘It’s not like that now.’
Because the words are all in the past tense.
It just makes the contrasting current situation stand out more.
“It all happened over five hundred years ago. From the moment this ice crystal appeared in the North Sea, it changed.”
‘If it was 500 years ago…’
It was probably the time when the slaughter battle took place due to the bloody spirit caused by the bloody demon in the middle of the day.
It must have been a time when Shin Noya and his colleagues were at war.
“At that time, a man who called himself Dragon Emperor appeared and left two things in the land of the North Sea.”
Doubts arise at the words of the king.
‘The solvent must be a blood horse.’
my prediction. And by adding only the information they found out, it was possible to guess that the person they were spitting out, called Yongje, was a blood horse.
Together.
‘A guy named Yongje left something here around that time…?’

during the height of the war.
Could the blood demon at that time come all the way to the North Sea and leave something behind?
Even if it was right to leave it.
‘For what?’
The torn pieces still linger in my head.
More information was needed to put this together.
“Half to the east. and half to the west. Solvent stored the things called ‘ice crystals’.”
Patter.
Frost falls from the cheeks of the princess.
“I ordered the blood relatives of the North Sea to maintain it.”
“number of people?”
Hearing the words, he frowned.
“Then, did you mean that the princess was guarding the ice crystal according to his orders?”
“exactly.”
“…why?”
Why did you have to do that?
Reason was lacking.
Solvent set ice crystals.
Even if it’s an egg or a heart, it’s the cause of the blood that it was protecting it.
i wanted to know that
“Lee Yu-ra…”
The princess said about this.
“Because I had to.”
“What is that…”
“Because if you don’t do that, the North Sea will perish.”
“…!?”
“That is. It is the karma of our bloodline.”
If you don’t keep it, the North Sea will perish.
I listened to the words of the palace.
“The one who guarded the place when the solvent appeared and left the ice crystal in the North Sea.”
take one breath
“To our ancestors, the solvent spoke.”
[Protect and maintain.]
[Until ‘pure blood’ appears.]
My fingertips tremble slightly at the word pure blood.
“His words became fetters. Shackles that will bind us for centuries to come.”
“I don’t understand. I can only talk about it… what kind of power does that have.”
“If it were just words, I could have refused.”
that means then
‘It means that it wasn’t just words.’
Swoop.
The princess touches my cheek with her hand.
“The Dragon Emperor spoke and cursed.”
It was the part where the scales sprouted and the frost fell.
“The curse of gradually becoming a dragon.”
“…!”
It’s a familiar word.
It was like a curse that I once heard from the Dark King.
‘The Dark King’s curse was also said to be becoming a dragon.’
If you give birth to a child, the curse will pass.
Did you say that you will die?
Name the curse of love song. that was what was called.
‘The curse that the blood demon placed on the blood relatives of the day and night.’
If so, is it the same as giving it to the palace in front of you?
or not.
“If you don’t protect your ice crystal, you become a dragon. Is that so?”
“haha.”
When I said this in anticipation, the princess laughed out loud. Wrong.
“That would have been better. If it was just that… it wouldn’t have been so cold.”
There was cold emotion wrapped around the smile.
“As I said before, ice crystals are the cause of the severe cold in the North Sea.”
Snow falling from the sky.
The extreme cold that strikes regardless of the season.
Everyone said that ice crystal was the cause.
“but.”
May the palace come.
“On the contrary, it is this ice crystal that protects the North Sea.”
“…yes?”
“It would be more accurate to say that it is an ice crystal in the Ice Palace.”
What else does this mean?
‘It’s the ice crystal that brought the severe cold to the North Sea, but it’s the ice crystal that’s blocking it.’
Tuk-tuk.
Fingers tap the waist.
two ice crystals.
one is here
One was said to be located in the Ice Palace.
What if one of the ice crystals with two of them is blocking it?
hmm.
“…Opposition…?”
“Ohh.”
The princess responded to the muttered words.
does it mean correct?
If it’s ice crystal that does the work and ice crystal that protects it.
“One causes severe cold. Are you saying you’re protecting one?”
Truly a confrontational composition.
Does that mean the current ice crystal state is like that?
In that sense, in the words of the question.
“That is correct.”
The princess expressed her affirmation.
‘Yeah.’
Upon hearing the answer to this, I immediately thought of it.
‘It’s f*cking.’
It’s just that the situation is really messy.
Thinking so, I didn’t carelessly play with my mouth.
It is because the explanation of the palace has not yet been completed.
“One ice crystal brought the bitter cold.”
The princess points at the ice crystal with her hand.
“That’s the original in front of me.”
“original?”
“It is a personal opinion. Would you like an explanation?”
“First, please continue with what you said earlier.”
“Okay.”
More detailed explanations will be heard later.
“I understand that ice crystals are affecting the weather in the North Sea.”
How is that possible?
I didn’t ask for that. The process is too complicated to follow the principle.
The important thing now is what does ‘me’ have to do with this?
“Then what is the curse the princess is talking about?”
“As I said just before, the dragon placed a curse on the ancestors by placing ice crystals.”
“Curse.”
“exactly. We call it the ‘Curse of the Ice Crystal’.”
I remember hearing from Yuri.
‘The disease that Mo Yong-hee had.’
A disease in which cold builds up in the body and gradually freezes the body.
It was also the reason Yuri brought me here right away.
also.
‘The cause that created the current state of the palace.’
Yonghwa.
A body that is ambiguous to call a human.
It was similar to the state of the dark king, but it was a situation where it could be seen that it was weakened.
It is said that the dark king became a dragon and had a lifespan and power close to immortality.
I heard that it is being used to control it through the martial arts of the Ice Palace.
Looking at the state of the palace, it seemed that even that was not possible.
“What kind of curse period is that?”
Because of the effect, the blood relative had to protect the ice crystal. Was the palace ruler supposed to be like that?
“The moment you are born as a blood relative of the Ice Palace, a seed is born in your body.”
“A seed?”
“exactly. can bloom at any time. Seeds like that.”
I wondered if he was talking about the disease.
“Do you mean flowering is a disease that you don’t know when it will burst?”
“Similar. Exactly…”
The finger that was pointing at the ice crystal was pointed at the princess herself this time.
“If you sit in the seat of a princess, it would be right to say that you will bloom.”
“…!”
I listened and raised my eyes.
“What do you mean…?”
“That is the curse of the ice crystal. The seeds contained in your body will bloom when you sit on the throne. The body gradually turns into a dragon.”
“…”
He could understand why the state of the palace had become that way.
the problem is.
‘Is that all?’
It is that there is a fog in my head.
If you sit in the seat of the palace, you will bloom.
In other words, it is a condition.
I know that the curse will greatly bloom and the body will change.
but.
‘So what’s the cause of the weakening?’
Because he became a palace ruler, the curse exploded and he became weak.
It didn’t make any sense.
That would be too.
‘Because the princess of the Ice Palace is a strong person.’
Are you that person now?
Or maybe it’s the former palace, I don’t know.
There is also a record of equalizing with Geomjon (劍尊), who was at the level of the best at the time, when Binggungju visited Jungwon.
Even if you see him weakened before your eyes.
‘He’s stronger than me.’
stronger than I am now.
overwhelmingly too.
What was the cause of his deterioration like me? Is it simply because of the disease?
To think that way doesn’t match what I just said.
So. I rolled my head.
The things and information I’ve been through from the midfield to the North Sea so far.
I put them together step by step.
Tuk-tuk-tuk.
Fingers move.
‘first.’
When he predicted that treason would happen.
How come the forces in charge of power are concentrated in only one place?
Asked if they hadn’t expected them to rebel.
About this, says Yuri.
[…Because there must be blood relatives.]
They said that blood relatives in Ice Palace are indispensable.
They said there was a reason why they couldn’t betray.
second.
‘If you become a princess, the curse will bloom properly.’
Those are the words the king has just spit out.
That word was not different from the meaning that there was something in the palace.
This was called the curse of the ice crystal.
It was nothing else, it was the curse of the ice crystal.
Furthermore.
‘Contradictoryly, the source of the cold is ice crystals. It is also ice crystals that block it.’
And the blocking ice crystal exists somewhere in the ice palace.
A few bits of information at best.
I had to find the truth in it too.
put it together
Even if you roll your head that won’t go back.
While I was thinking about it for a while.
Took.
The tapping fingers stopped.
“Ice crystals that block the cold.”
said to the prince.
“Is it the life force of the palace that maintains it?”
“…!!”
At those words, the princess’s eyes widened.
