Age of Heroes, ten consecutive guarantees

Immortal flowers and leaves.

Since it is named eternal life, it is certainly not a false thing.

It does make one live forever.

But eternal life only means that you can live forever, and it does not guarantee how you will live.

Everyone knows that to achieve long-distance interstellar travel, three technologies are necessary.

The first is energy, even a higher level of energy than nuclear fusion; the second is curvature engine; and the third is cryo-sleep.

What the eternal flower can accomplish is the third point.

It can keep a person alive and enter a long dormant state.

During this process, it is just like falling asleep, without any self-awareness and no awareness of the passage of time.

The body is the same as before the cold sleep. It will not age due to sleeping. In a sense, it has the possibility of near immortality, but it has no quality.

And if awakened from the outside, the person immobilized by the eternal flower will not be able to wake up.

The price is very high, so there are not many people who have obtained immortal flowers and leaves from the snow girl, but almost without exception they dare not use them.

But this time it came in handy.

"You mean..."

"Let me stay here and enter a frozen sleep state after being affected by the eternal flower."

"Wait until three years later before you come to take me back?"

Cordelia held up the little snow girl, looked at Bai Yu and asked: "If you don't show up in three years, then I will sleep here forever."

"Yes." Bai Yu nodded, but did not force him: "The choice is up to you. If you are unwilling, you can try to get out of the underworld on your own after I leave."

He could also understand Cordelia's feelings.

It's a terrible feeling to have your life and death completely in someone else's hands.

Moreover, she had just experienced betrayal, so naturally she could not easily trust others, so he did not intend to force the other party to accept it.

"I accept."

The saint said decisively: "Let's get started."

"No?" Bai Yu was startled: "Did you accept it too quickly? Don't think about it again?"

"Is there anything to consider?" Cordelia crossed her hands: "This is already the plan with the highest success rate. I am willing to take a gamble."

Yuki Ono Yotsuba took the initiative to intervene: "Since it is a bet, there is a possibility of failure. Have you considered the risks?"

"Of course I've considered it."

Cordelia looked at Bai Yu and lightly touched her lips with her fingers: "However, after all the kisses and touches, I just need a little sleep... I don't think there is anything to worry about."

Bai Yu: "Hey!"

Yotsuba clasped his hands together and said, "Is this the love brain?"

"No." The saint looked serious, and then argued and explained: "I just don't want to doubt whether he can fulfill the agreement. Since I know that he will fall into a deep sleep, instead of worrying, it is better to hold on to hope and wait."

She patted her cheeks with both hands: "I don't want to continue to be disturbed by negative emotions. Even if I have to fall asleep, I hope it will be a sweet dream."

Bai Yu gave a thumbs up and praised: "It's a good mentality, keep it. Pessimism is a kind of slow death. Waiting and holding on to hope are the keys to the future."

Cave King thought it was very good after seeing it.

However, he considered a question and asked Yotsuba: "Can the four-leaf petals last for three years?"

"I don't know, but I can give it a try." Snow Girl shook her head: "If I wither, it will just be bad luck."

"If you wither, you won't be able to see the outside."

"I know." Siye said, "But looking forward to the future, we have to wait until we leave here."

Bai Yu was silent. He took out a wooden box from his back and asked, "Maybe this thing can solve the problem of withering."

The snow girl looked at the wooden box in his hand and wondered, "What is this?"

[The never-fading flower box - any flowers placed in it will never wither, because it has been soaked in the gilded water of the river of time, so the flowers hidden in it can escape the punishment of time; Note: Only Limited to flowers, not small animals, not even humans]

One of the items drawn previously.

If the immortal flowers and leaves are also a type of flower, then keeping them in a wooden box will prevent them from withering.

The little snow girl jumped into the wooden box and sat down quietly the next moment. After being quiet for a few minutes, she said: "It's a very strange feeling. The flowers and leaves really don't wither anymore."

Bai Yu handed the wooden box to Cordelia's hand: "You can find a comfortable place to lie down."

Looking around, there was only one relatively complete stone platform in the secret room.

She held the wooden box in her arms.

The little snow girl has returned to four eternal flowers and leaves, and begins to release a light coldness.

"Is there anything else you want to say?"

Bai Yu asked standing aside.

Cordelia turned her face to look at him, eyes open, somewhat reluctantly.

She knew she still had the chance to leave, so she was naturally happy, but when she thought about seeing each other again three years later, she was inevitably a little sad and regretful.

If you can stay here with the other party for three years, that might be a good thing.

She gently took Bai Yu's hand and said, "Can you kiss me again before I fall asleep?"

Bai Yu was speechless: "...You are really hungry."

"Just a moment."

She even started acting coquettishly.

Bai Yu frowned slightly, thinking that being active and being passive were completely different things.

What is her relationship with herself?

That's not the case at all, right?

But looking at those pitiful little eyes, one can't help but feel soft and sympathetic, although there is definitely an element of looking at his face.

Cordelia nodded her forehead, took a step back and said, "Just the forehead."

Bai Yu finally relieved his psychological burden and lowered his head, but before he touched his forehead, he was pulled hard by his collar and was led astray.

Another deep kiss.

Thirty seconds later.

Bai Yu broke away from her endless demands and became angry: "Cordelia! Only once and again, not again and again!"

"You obviously enjoy it too."

"It's ridiculous, I was obviously forced to do it!"

"You can take the initiative, I won't resist." She tilted her head and blinked, actively inviting the fight.

"You..." Bai Yu was angry.

You feel so burned.

He sighed: "If you want to sleep, go to bed quickly... Holy lady, please be careful about your image."

"The saint is just an identity. I may not be a saint, but I must be Cordelia." She corrected: "The person in front of you is just Cordelia. I don't care about the identity of the saint anymore. .”

Those meaningless self-esteem, honor, and the surrounding blindness have been completely shattered by Andre's backstab.

She saw herself clearly, so she vowed that if she could survive, she would be more honest and decisive to herself from now on, and never leave any regrets.

Andre was not the only one who broke the shackles in the face of death; Cordelia did the same, but her change was in another direction.

The cold mist gradually rose and enveloped her.

A wave of sleep came over her, and her eyelids gradually became heavy.

Realizing that she was about to close her eyes, Cordelia asked the question that had been pressing in her heart for a long time.

"Why did you save me?"

This question is a bit abrupt.

Bai Yu thought quietly for a while and answered truthfully.

"I did not expect."

He hadn't thought about this problem.

You don’t need a reason to save people; you do need a reason not to save people.

Cordelia wanted to speak, but was unable to speak.

'You could have enjoyed my body and then watched me die like this and take possession of the collection here alone, but you didn't do that. You saved me and repeatedly tried to dissuade me from doing stupid things. You only thought about how to help me. Get out safely. ’

‘From the beginning to the end, you didn’t even care or ask what the collection is here. ’

'I don't know why you don't care at all, but I know very well who really treats me well and hopes that I can live. I can feel it. ’

'Thanks……'

She looked at Bai Yu, with some kind of longing in her eyes.

The stubbornness in his blue eyes made the silent young man sigh.

"Good night," he said.

'Good night, my knight on the white horse'

In the ice mist, unable to resist sleepiness, Cordelia had closed her eyes.

At the same time, her breathing stopped.

It's like falling asleep, but without heartbeat or breathing.

It looks like it is no different from a corpse. It can be regarded as a state of living death.

The wooden box is closed.

Yotsuba also fell into a deep sleep.

Both fell asleep.

Only Bai Yu is still here.

It's so quiet, I'm not used to it.

A roaring sound suddenly echoed deep in the secret room, as if some mechanism had been opened.

Only then did Bai Yu realize.

It turns out that falling into a deep sleep can also be regarded as a state of 'death', so Ashen Robin's secret room determined that Bai Yu was the only living person left in the secret room at this moment, so after the mechanism was triggered, the passage to the collection room was opened.

The collection room is located in the deepest part of the chamber, behind the destroyed serpentine sculpture.

It’s unclear what material the door is made of, but it is quite strong. There is a complex transmission structure behind it. If it is violently destroyed, the entire secret room will collapse.

Open the door and walk into the deepest part of the secret room.

I saw the secret treasures stored here.

What directly caught the eye was a dazzling crown. There was a true red orb at the top of the crown, which was emitting warm light and lighting up the entire secret room.

That's a secret treasure that has been missing for nearly half a century.

The crown of Queen Victoria in the middle of winter... On the crown is the legendary gemstone.

——The sun never sets!
