Chapter 312 Blessings from the Pole

In the northwest tower, the priest and his followers walked up the dim spiral staircase. There were only torches at intervals for lighting here. The wind from somewhere made the flames sway, and also swayed the shadows of people.

Heroth, who had been following the team, was still discovered.

The follower who walked at the end had the lowest status. He was a teenager. He noticed that someone had been following him upstairs, so he stopped and asked: "The bedroom of Her Royal Highness the Princess is upstairs. Are you going to see the Princess too?"

"Yes!" Heroth took out a red jewelry box: "I am sending Her Royal Highness a gift on the orders of Master Panier."

Melis was seriously injured, and the one who treated her must be the priest sent by the Ice and Snow Family. Heroth said that he was from the Skovo family, and it was likely that he could get away with it.

"What is the gift?" The boy did not doubt Heroth, but asked curiously.

Helot put the box away: "This is a gift from Master Panier to Her Royal Highness the Princess. We are not qualified to see it. Let's go quickly. The priest has gone far away."

The boy looked back and saw that his companion's shadow had disappeared at the corner.

"You are right! Let's catch up quickly. If the priest finds me lagging behind, he will punish me."

The boy turned and ran up the stairs, waving to Helot to follow him.

Helot chased up two steps at a time and continued to follow the priest's team into the princess's bedroom.

The heater on the wall was burning very vigorously, and the snow on his body melted quickly and turned into water drops on the soft carpet. The walls of the room were wrapped with carpets, and the windows were sealed. The fireplace has a dedicated air supply duct, and the exhaust gas will not enter the room. The air ducts for the room are opened on both sides of the fireplace, and the incoming air is heated by the furnace wall.

This is a room specially renovated for Princess Emma Rubelle, and the cold air outside cannot enter at all.

The whole heating system was very cleverly designed, which made Helot, who was an engineer, feel a little familiar... Dual airway heat transmission?

However, Helot did not dwell too much on this unexpected discovery. His attention was on Melissa on the bed.

After not seeing her for a while, she became very haggard, her skin was pale, and her hair on the pillow had lost its former luster.

Helot regretted giving her a long vacation.

He wanted to walk up to her and hold her hand to wake her up from her sleep.

He resisted the urge in his heart and stood aside to watch the priest treat her.

The priest's followers stood around the bed, chanting spells, taking out a knife and cutting a hole in the palm of their left hand. Blood oozed out of the wound, but it did not drip down, but floated in the air drop by drop.

The people of Northern Xinjiang believe that blood is the most heaty thing. They believe that they can resist the cold because the blood is full of infinite energy. Therefore, the witchcraft in Northern Xinjiang is mostly related to blood, and it does have many magical effects.

The priest stood beside Melissa, chanting a spell with a self-paralyzing effect. His mind became trance in the spell, and his voice changed into a strange tone. Then his body danced in a weird way, as if something was attached to his body.

Soon the priest became more crazy, and the floating blood beads exploded one by one and turned into red mist.

The voices of the followers chanting the spell became louder and louder, and the red mist formed a ring above the bed, with a layer of light film rippling in the middle of the ring.

Gradually, the light film bulged downward, and the head of a beast appeared vaguely. It slowly lowered, and the shape became clearer and clearer.

Helot recognized that this was a magical creature in the legend of the northern border... the polar fire fox.

Many adventurers who have climbed the polar plateau said that they have seen the polar fire fox, but there is no physical evidence to prove that it really exists. Some people think that this is an illusion caused by some light, especially in the polar hypoxic and low-pressure environment where hallucinations are more likely to occur.

Some people simply say that the polar fire fox is real, and they all inexplicably escaped from trouble after seeing the polar fire fox, which seems to confirm the legend that the polar fire fox can save people.

However, some people say that this is survivor bias.

Those who died in polar adventures may have seen polar fire foxes, but they did not bring the information out.

In any case, the Sander priest is using ancient witchcraft to summon something that looks like a polar fire fox.

As the fog ring light film descends, the image of the polar fire fox is completely outlined. Its figure is like an erratic red fire ball, and the position of its eyes is blue.

At this time, the priest's movements and voices suddenly stopped. He stood on one foot, and his figure tilted in a way that was not in line with physics. Looking at the followers around him, they all seemed to be trapped in time and stood there motionlessly.

The only thing that moved during the ceremony was the polar fire fox. It bowed its head to observe the sleeping princess, and a drop of fire penetrated through the light film and fell on the center of Melissa's eyebrows.

Then, the polar fire fox turned its head and looked at Helot.

Without giving Helot any reaction, a beam of light hit his consciousness.

"Bring her and come to me!"

What does this mean?

Helot looked at the polar fire fox and saw it leap up and disappear in the mist ring.

The priest and his followers were pushed back by some force, and the mist ring rolled inward and shrank, then dispersed and disappeared.

The priest Sander was so weak that he was about to fall, but fortunately the followers around him supported him in time.

"Master priest, did we succeed?"

Priest Sander did not answer. He forced himself to walk to the princess' side and pressed his fingers on the artery in her neck to feel the blood flow.

After a long time, her body relaxed and she said, "We have lived up to the Duke's trust in us. Her Royal Highness is recovering."

Hellot was secretly delighted to hear this. This ancient witch doctor technique that has been passed down to the present is still unique. The Immortal Society has not yet come up with a treatment method, and Melissa has been cured!

However, the priest's next words kicked Helot's mood to the bottom again.

"Your Highness should be able to survive for a year..."

"That is to say... I have a year to give birth to a child for the Skovo family."

Melissa opened her eyes. She was in much better spirits and her skin was rosy, but her expression was full of sadness.

"Your Highness!" Priest Sander immediately bowed: "I'm sorry, I can't give you real health."

"I know no one can save me. I just don't want to spend the last journey of my life in this small room. My last value is just to give birth to a child."

Priest Sander was so weak that he couldn't stand steadily: "Your Highness, the Duke and his wife both love you. Your marriage with Master Panier was decided a long time ago. If you hadn't been injured and needed to go to the Covenant City for treatment, you would have completed the wedding long ago."

"Yes! This is probably my fate. You go back to the Ice Castle to reply to my father and tell him... I will fulfill the duties of a woman of the Ice and Snow Family."

"I will report to the Duke. Don't delay your rest, Your Highness, good night!"

Melis nodded and closed her eyes.

Priest Sander left with his entourage, and the boy who walked at the end did not forget to make a face at Helot.

The maid came in and was about to close the door when she saw someone standing by the fireplace. She asked angrily, "It's late, Your Highness needs to rest, why don't you leave?"

Hailuot walked over and put the jewelry box in the maid's hand: "This is what the priest asked me to give to Your Highness, please keep it!"

"Why didn't the priest..."

The maid didn't finish her question, and Heluot had already walked out.

"Impolite guy."
