The Tear of the Ice Goddess? Who Knows What That Is

The snow covered the frozen ground, her small nose was red, and her eyes were a little squinty. Nunu blew warm air into her palms, then stretched out her hands and placed them on Willump's body, intending to transfer her warmth to Willump in this way.

But conspicuously, Willump didn't seem to feel cold. Instead, he scratched his head with his large paws and looked at Nunu with a strange expression.

"Roar!"

"No, Willump!" Nunu immediately refused upon hearing Willump's cry. He continued, "We're partners. It's fine for you to carry me normally, but how can I let you carry me while I sleep on you?"

"Wouldn't you become a pet or a tool then?" Nunu said matter-of-factly, "The best friends should walk together, sleep together, and eat together!"

Willump's strange look disappeared, replaced by a hearty laugh. The big guy became even more excited, looking at Nunu and nodding vigorously, as if to prove that Nunu's decision was correct.

Nunu shivered, followed Willump for a while, then squinted at the scenery ahead and shouted.

"Ah!"

"Willump, we've found it! We've finally found it!"

Nunu jumped up excitedly, pointing to the valley ahead. On the tundra, seeing something doesn't mean you're close to it; in fact, it's often a very, very long distance away. But even so, Nunu saw a huge, grayish ice sculpture sitting in a ruin on the tundra below, which looked like an abandoned castle.

Judging from its appearance alone, this castle perfectly matches Nunu's fantasy of "a hero fighting a dragon" and the castle where the dragon lives. Therefore, it is a treasure for Nunu, and it immediately dispels his fatigue.

"Quick, Willump, we need to get there right now!"

"Once we find the Juulberry, we can go back! But I'd like to explore this place first, what about you?"

"Roar!"

"It seems we've made the same choice!"

Nunu landed on Willump's head, and the Yeti, using all four limbs and two legs, charged downwards at an incredible speed.

Despite his seemingly chubby and clumsy appearance, Willump is actually an extremely agile fellow. Come to think of it, the Freljord people's imagination of the Yeti's appearance is largely that of a gigantic, blue-faced, fanged ape.

More than an hour later, with Willump moving at full speed, they reached the edge of the ruins.

Nunu stared blankly at the ruins with her mouth agape, then excitedly climbed up like a little monkey.

"I can't even read these words!" Nunu exclaimed, pointing to the writing left on the ruins. Then, he tapped his head, coughed, and said, "No, Willump, I don't know many words anyway."

"My mother wanted to teach me to read, but... but we separated."

As he spoke, Nunu's mood soured considerably, but he quickly cheered up.

"Come on, Willump, it's time for us to take a risk!"

"Roar!"

The two, one big and one small, began exploring the ancient ruins.

"That green guy said this is where Lissandra used to live, and my mother said that Lissandra used to sit with her sisters, so this is where the Ice Three Sisters used to live?"

"But there's nothing here! How many years has it been since anyone came here?"

Nunu's little brain couldn't quite figure it out. He didn't know that if this place really was the former site of the "Three Sisters of Ice," then outsiders simply couldn't enter.

After all, this is Lissandra's backyard, where many secrets and stories of the past are buried, and those are things that Lissandra would never want others to see.

Nunu, however, is able to boldly explore this place, and the reason is naturally because the owner of the "back garden" is currently watching him from the sky.

It wasn't until Willump let out a roar, ran to Nunu's side, pointed to a spot, and roared twice more that Nunu finally saw what she wanted to see.

A colossal statue!

Unlike the grayish-black statue he had seen earlier, which Nunu had initially thought was Lissandra's statue, Nunu discovered upon arrival that it was actually a statue of a man wearing a helmet, and not very tall at that!

It just stands out conspicuously among the ruins on the tundra.

But what Nunu saw now made her mouth drop open.

"No wonder I couldn't find it! It was inside the iceberg!"

Before them stood a colossal ice sculpture nearly a hundred meters tall. The face was somewhat blurred, but the hands, clothing, and an ice crystal longbow were sculpted with remarkable realism. Holding the ice bow, she gazed at the ground, one hand gripping an ice arrow, poised to fire.

"Roar!" Willump shouted again, and Nunu turned his head to look, only to see another ice sculpture.

On the opposite side of this ice sculpture, she is connected to another ice surface, hundreds of meters away from here. She is also nearly a hundred meters tall, holding a warhammer, wearing a helmet, her indistinct face looking up at the sky, her open mouth as if letting out a roar.

"That's Serylda! Willump, this is Avarosa, and that's Serylda! I recognize her!" Nunu exclaimed.

"And what about Lissandra's?"

The two, one big and one small, became confused.

However, after searching for a long time, Nunu and Willump still couldn't find the statue that belonged to Lissandra. With no other option, Nunu had to give up looking for Lissandra's statue and instead began searching for Juulberry's whereabouts.

As Nunu and Willump entered the ruins and walked inside, Nunu immediately spotted the Juulberry she was looking for.

It grows on a dilapidated, abandoned city tower, very tall, swaying in the wind and snow, shimmering with a beautiful red light.

Nunu immediately pointed at Juulberry and shouted, "Willump, where is he!"

Very high?

It doesn't matter!

He has Willump!

Willump grabbed Nunu and skipped and hopped towards the abandoned city tower.

A few minutes later, Nunu arrived in front of the Juulberry and looked at the huge fruit. From a distance, it wasn't noticeable, but up close, Nunu's friend was even bigger than her head!

It's almost as big as Willump's paw!

Grabbing Juulberry with both hands, Nunu cried out loudly, using all her strength.

"I'll pull it out, I will!"

"I'm going to be a hero who saves the world!"

With pouting lips and a flushed face, Nunu leaned back, straining with all her might, but still couldn't pull out the Juulberry.

Such a huge fruit naturally had an incredibly thick root system. Willump chuckled to himself as he watched Nunu struggle to stay awake, and only then did he reach out to help Nunu.

But at that moment, Willump saw a faint glow appear on Nunu's body, which startled him, and Willump subconsciously took a step back.

Willump felt he didn't need to intervene.

Because Nunu unintentionally used that power again!

The next moment, with a loud shout from Nunu, the Juulberry was uprooted.

"Willump, I did it!"

"Roar!"

"Quick, let's go to our next destination now." Nunu hugged Juulberry, but realized it was too big for her to carry, so she gave Juulberry to Willump.

Willump grabbed it with his large hands, then wrapped the fruit's tail with his own fur, and then reached out and grabbed Nunu.

The two, one big and one small, ran towards the far north.

Three days later, Nunu saw the Frozen Sea.

This was the first time he had ever seen the sea, but it was different from the sea Nunu had imagined, and also different from the sea his mother had told him about.

"Why is it all ice?" Nunu asked, pursing her lips as she looked at the Frozen Sea.

Willump yelled from the side.

"Yes, it's so cold here, the water's frozen solid!"

"But Mom said that only the surface is frozen into ice; underneath it's still seawater, and there are fish living down there!"

As he spoke, Nunu rolled up his sleeves to catch the fish, but Willump stretched out his big arm to stop him.

"What's wrong, Willump?"

Nunu asked, puzzled.

Willump pointed a paw at a small island in the distance and grinned.

Nunu immediately understood what Willump meant. He turned his head and saw a stark island on the distant ice. The island had trees on it and didn't look very big, but Nunu vaguely sensed that he was being watched.

Faintly, white smoke appeared over the island; at first glance, the smoke looked like a Fox.

This piqued Nunu's curiosity.

They immediately decided to go and take a look with Willump.

The green-haired guy said that once they reach the Frozen Sea, Nunu will find the materials for the Frost Goddess. That place should be the one he was referring to, right?

Ten minutes later, Nunu and Willump arrived on the island.

There was no life on the island, only two or three bare trees. The island was truly small; in Nunu's opinion, it wasn't even an island, but rather a giant rock standing on the ice.

After all, with Nunu's legs, she could only walk a dozen or so steps to reach the end of the island!

Then, Nunu and Willump saw a snow-white Little Fox appear.

The Little Fox had long, pink fur and was standing on a rock.

"What a beautiful Fox!" Nunu's eyes lit up when she saw the Fox.

But the next moment, Nunu was terrified.

"Child, where are you from?" the Fox asked. The Fox spoke!

The Fox raised its head, and the lady-like figure sat gracefully on the small rock, looking at Nunu, and then said, "Tell me quickly, where did you come from?"

Bai spoke according to the script.

As he spoke, Bai felt speechless.

To think that she, Demigod, would do something like this! Isn't this just fooling children?

What left Bai speechless was that when Lissandra found her, she directly threatened her, telling her to build an island in the Frozen Sea, wait for a child to arrive, and then put on a show.

What?!

Building islands on the Frozen Sea?

Although she is Demigod, and a very powerful Demigod at that, the Frozen Sea is still very dangerous for Bai!

This place is home to many Demigod. Seal Sister is alright; if she builds her own island, Seal Sister certainly won't object. But what about the other Demigod?

After much deliberation, Bai finally decided to slack off.

That's how Nunu was able to see this island in the sea that looked like a huge rock!

"I... I'm here to find the Tear of the Frost Goddess."

"What? What's that toy?" Bai was about to ask instinctively, but the voice in her head interrupted her.

"Are you an idiot? The Tear of the Frost Goddess is what you're going to give him. Just find an excuse to give it to him." Lissandra's voice echoed in Bai's mind.

Bai paused, then became somewhat angry.

What's going on?

What kind of Tear of the Frost Goddess does she have?

There are only two beings in Freljord who deserve the title of Frost Goddess: one is Avarosa, the former leader of humanity and the Boss of the Three Sisters, and the other is the Demigod Anivia, the Ice Phoenix.

What merit or ability does she possess to deserve such a title?

The little paws groped around behind its rear end and picked up a small stone. Then it projected its magic onto the stone, changing its shape and color.

When Bai stretched out her pink little fleshy ball towards Nunu, she was already holding a small, teardrop-shaped gem in her little paw.

You mean this?

"I, yes, this is it." Nunu didn't actually know what it was, but judging from its shape, Nunu thought it must be the Tear of the Frost Goddess that the green guy had mentioned, so he nodded in agreement.

"You think I'll give it to you just because you came to me?" Bai yawned.

"What do I need to do for you to give it to me? I really need this, please! I need this to save my mother," Nunu said anxiously.

"Well, if you help me with something, then I'll give you this." Bai said, pretending to be serious.

"Please speak, beautiful Fox, I will certainly complete the task you have given me!"

"Haha, no need to be so nervous," Bai said, raising his paw with a laugh.

That kid has such a sweet tongue!

Bai is starting to like this child.

What's strange is that from the moment she saw the child, Bai noticed a familiar scent on him. Thinking this, Bai looked at Willump beside her and recognized him as the Yeti.

The Yeti. This is a creature that once lived with Anivia and was deeply loved by Anivia; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it one of her familiars.

Therefore, a guess also arose in Bai's mind.

Li Ke, Lissandra, and that Demigod Nilah —there's no reason for them to be so bored as to cooperate with a child in some kind of hero adventure role-playing game. Therefore, this child must be hiding something!

The snowman, the familiar scent.

OMG!

A strange light flashed in Bai Wumei's eyes.

She looked at Nunu, inhaling the familiar scent emanating from the little guy's heart—his heart, his heart.

Depend on!

It is the Heart of Anivia!

This little guy got the Heart of Anivia?!

Bai was momentarily stunned.

"Hello, can you tell me what you need me to do?"

"Of course!" Bai snapped out of his daze and took a deep breath.

She understood what Lissandra and Li Ke meant.

Is the battle against the Void finally about to begin?

Looking at Nunu, Bai said seriously:

"Go this way, and you'll see a gigantic octopus. It's incredibly powerful and constantly wreaking havoc on the Frozen Sea. I need you to remove one of its tentacles as a warning to it."

"I understand!" Nunu patted his chest vigorously, laughing as he assured Nunu, "I promise I'll complete the mission!"
