Da da da—
After Frost Iser restored her true body, she did not stop her steps but walked toward the side of the ice chamber, until she reached the end of the ice wall.
Angel noticed that this ice chamber was very empty, except for the ice tables and chairs, there were no other items. Therefore, Angel also followed Frost Iser, approaching the ice wall nearby.
In front of this ice wall, there was a throne. It was similar to the frozen throne outside, but the design was not so extravagant.
Judging from the size of the throne, it wasn’t made for humans to sit on. It’s estimated that the owner of the throne is still Frost Iser.
Skipping over the throne, Angel directed his gaze to the ice wall.
On the ice wall was a painting: The Snow Queen, wearing a crown and holding a scepter, sat above the throne, her head held high, gazing down at all beings.
The author of this wall painting was Feng. And the Snow Queen in the painting was undoubtedly Frost Iser.
Frost Iser looked at her own image in the wall painting, let out a barely audible sigh, then turned around and walked to the side of the throne, gazing at a certain position directly in front of it.
Angel followed her line of sight and found that the spot she was looking at was empty, with nothing there.
"Back then, he stood right there staring at me, then created this wall painting," Frost Iser said softly.
Angel was startled for a moment, carefully observing and comparing, he found that what Frost Iser said might be true, because the throne in the painting and the throne in front of the ice wall were identical. From the perspective view, Feng might indeed have been standing in that spot, observing while he painted the wall painting.
"It’s just, at that time I was sitting on the throne, clearly in a daze, yet the expression he painted for me was like this," Frost Iser mumbled to herself: "So, in his eyes, is this how I should be?"
Angel didn’t interrupt at this time, because he didn’t know the answer either, and Angel believed Frost Iser didn’t necessarily need an answer.
He just needed to quietly wait for Frost Iser to awaken from her reminiscence.
Half a minute later, Frost Iser let out a long sigh and sat on the throne.
"Sorry, monotonous times have gone on for so long, that seeing flashes from memory, I can’t help but want to indulge in them," Frost Iser said to Angel.
"Monotonous times? Your Highness seems to not be satisfied with current life."
"I just feel this kind of boring days have lasted too long. However, now that you’ve appeared, I believe the boring times will soon end," Frost Iser stated with an implied meaning.
Angel seemed to think of something and was prepared to inquire further. But Frost Iser waved her finger: "These matters are unimportant, let’s return to the main topic. Regarding Mr. Feng, if you have any questions, feel free to ask now."
Angel: "What fate did Mr. Feng speak of, did he ever mention me?"
"I once asked Mr. Feng about the issue of fate, his answer was, it cannot be spoken of. So, I’m not too clear about fate either," Frost Iser said, "Perhaps you can ask Akimo, its understanding of fate is far beyond mine."
Angel: Akimo? I think I’ll pass.
Frost Iser: "Although Mr. Feng didn’t explain what fate is, he did mention some digressions, such as the direction of fate."
"He said, fate has many directions, different choices can lead fate in different paths. He also used himself as an example, saying if he hadn’t opened that book, he wouldn’t have come to the Tidal World, nor would he have saved the collapsing elemental vortex, thus there wouldn’t be the current layout of the Tidal World, nor would there be...," Frost Iser paused for a moment, her pure white eyes slowly rose, looking at Angel: "Nor would there be someone who would follow his footsteps and come here."
Angel understood that the person Feng mentioned, following in his footsteps, undoubtedly referred to Angel himself.
Obviously, Feng foresaw the current situation, in other words, Angel indeed stepped into the trap Feng set.
But...
"Why me?"
Frost Iser shrugged, "That I don’t know, maybe you’ll get an answer if you wait until Mr. Feng returns and ask him."
"Mr. Feng left the Tidal World thousands of years ago, who knows how long it will take for him to come back," Angel sighed, it seems the truth will not be unveiled for now.
At this time, Frost Iser suddenly said, "Who said Feng left the Tidal World thousands of years ago?"
Angel was stunned for a moment, "Isn’t that the case?"
Frost Iser shook her head, "It’s true that Mr. Feng’s first departure from the Tidal World traces back to the period of the initial disaster settlement three thousand years ago. But afterward, Mr. Feng actually came back once."
Feng returned to the Tidal World?!
Angel had been to several realms, yet no sage had mentioned Feng came back after leaving! Including, the gentle breeze Uranus of the White Cloud Village, did not mention it either.
Judging from the situation back then, Angel believed they absolutely weren’t deliberately concealing it, then there was only one possibility.
The fact that Feng returned to the Tidal World, they actually didn’t know!
"When did Mr. Feng come back?" Angel quickly asked.
Frost Iser paused, "Six hundred years ago."
Six hundred years ago? When Frost Iser mentioned this time point, Angel suddenly remembered a passage—
"I lived with the human calling himself ’Feng’ in the Ice Valley for a few years. During those years, Feng helped me establish this ice crystal palace, and at the same time, he taught me how to paint. The mural of Binaqionse in the palace was painted under his instruction."
"Feng actually came to the Ice Valley? When did that happen?"
"Six hundred years ago."
The above, was a dialogue between Angel and Odeclass, the Lord of the Ice Valley on the surface of the Abyss.
Six hundred years ago, Feng not only came to the Tidal World, but also went to the Abyss? How could the time point be so close?
While Angel was pondering, Frost Iser added, "The direction of fate I just mentioned, was also something Feng said during his return to the Tidal World six hundred years ago."
