The doctor disappeared in an instant, and Heidi rushed behind the throne. The ground was tightly closed, and it seemed that a mechanism was needed to open it.

The soldier said nothing, his face serious.

Because the World Tree had been modified, the Doctor could not recognize the Scattered Soldiers. Theoretically, as a Fontaine native, Heidi should not know the Scattered Soldiers' past.

Heidi decided to follow the plot and pretend she didn't know.

"Amao, your wind blade just now was really cool. He caught me for experiments in Winter Solstice before, it was so miserable. If you see him again, help me cut a few times."

"He really likes doing experiments..." Sanbing's emotions were pulled back. He looked at Heidi and asked softly, "Does the experiment hurt?"

Heidi looked into Sanbing's eyes, which were clear but seemed to carry the slightly bitter taste of tea.

"It doesn't hurt anymore. It's like a cold wind before spring. I know spring will come, so I don't care about this cold wind." Heidi smiled.

"Well, cowards can also have a powerful side." Sanbing patted Heidi's head like a little adult.

……

"Well, my loyal subjects, where should we go next?" Heidi asked in a stiff theatrical accent while sitting on the ice-sculptured throne.

The wandering soul smiled, stood at the bottom of the stairs and even bowed, saying respectfully: "Your Majesty Heidi, I think we should think about how to get out first. Then we can rescue the princess and catch the doctor you mentioned. He has advanced scientific and technological means, and he may have a way to get to the sun."

Little Bamboo Shoot also stood at the bottom of the steps in a serious manner and saluted with his little cane, "Save the princess, Your Majesty Nara."

"You are right." Heidi nodded with satisfaction and looked at the scattered soldiers. "Mr. Amao, what good plan do you have?"

The soldier stood at the bottom of the stairs with his arms folded, looking at the three pairs of expectant eyes, with rejection written all over his face.

How come these three guys are still acting? I know Heidi is dreaming since she sits on the throne.

At Xiao Zhusun's request, Amao prepared himself for a minute before speaking: "Your Majesty, Xiao Youhun's opinion is good, but it lacks details. We will focus on solving two points."

"First, how do we get out? Second, how do we convince the princess that what we say is true."

Heidi glanced at the scattered soldiers, suppressed her smile, and said, "Well, I already have a solution for the second point. After the princess's lover, Imon Roka, went on an expedition, he returned to his homeland and found that the princess had died and left behind a sword. If we go to the snowy mountains and get the sword for the princess, she will definitely understand."

"Okay, now let's focus on how to get out." The soldier flew into the air and looked at the huge layout of the palace.

Heidi sat on the throne, staring at the guards. "Little Wanderer, why don't they stand in two rows, but one on the east and one on the west? Is there any reason for this?"

The little wandering soul took a careful look, then asked the scattered soldier to take him to the upper sky and thought about it seriously.

The little wandering soul felt that some of his memories were slowly emerging. "This arrangement is the way to play a game of Xumi chess. Two sides face off until one side wins."

When Heidi heard this, she thought it was similar to chess, "Little Wanderer, can you play this game?"

"Well, this chess game has a fixed way of moving, and I can deduce which side will win." The little wandering soul said with emotion, "In my vague memory, it seems that I have been playing this chess game with a friend before I died, but unfortunately my memory is still very vague."

"In other words, we have to push the chess pieces here until one side wins, and then we can open the passage here?" asked Sanbing.

"Well, that should be the case." The little wandering soul nodded, and he was speeding up his calculations to figure out who the final winner would be.

Heidi understood. She frowned and looked at the ice sculpture in front of her seriously. Two people were playing chess. If one won, the other would lose.

This must be a chess game arranged by the doctor, so what will happen to the losing side?

The scattered soldiers also understood about 70% of the situation at this moment. The huge dome of the palace was dotted with ice cones like stalactites, refracting colorful light. At this moment, it looked more like a weapon to punish the losers.

"Okay, I've calculated the number of steps. Next, you need to represent one side and push those ice sculpture guards." Youhun said, "Left or right, choose for yourself."

"As for which side will win, do you want to know in advance?"

"No." Heidi and the skirmisher responded in unison.

"Ok."

"Little Wandering Soul, come here for a moment." Heidi pulled the little wandering soul aside and whispered a few words to him. After the little wandering soul heard this, his eyes were filled with emotion. He looked at Heidi's smile, then turned back to look at the scattered soldiers and sighed.

"If I make the wrong choice, just wink at me." Heidi quietly confirmed again.

"What are the two of them talking about?" Sanbing saw Youhun was in a low mood, and glanced at Heidi, who seemed to be in a good mood. "To be fair, little Youhun, you come over too, I have something to say too."

"Hmph, you're learning to be mysterious too." Heidi watched the two men go to the corner and complained.

After the two came back, the little ghost said: "According to Ah Mao's suggestion, for the sake of fairness, we will draw lots to decide the left and right positions."

Heidi looked at Youhun with a question mark on her face. Why was it different from what they had discussed before? She looked at Sanbing, but he looked relaxed.

Youhun prepared two notes and said, "You choose."

"You choose first." Sanbing said calmly.

Heidi chose one, the one on the left, and walked to the left with a nervous look on her face.

"Then I'm on the right." After saying that, he calmly walked towards that direction.

The little wandering soul stood on the steps, staring at the backs of the two people, in a daze.

The little wandering soul stood on the stage and began to give orders. Heidi and the scattered soldiers shuttled between the ice sculpture guards, moving the positions of these ice sculptures like pushing grids.

As Heidi pushed the ice knight to the throne, the ground suddenly shook violently, the ice guard beside Heidi began to melt, and the passage behind the throne gradually opened.

"What is this?" Heidi asked.

"Heidi, you've already won."

"We won?" Heidi did not feel a trace of joy in her heart. Instead, she was filled with anxiety. She turned back suddenly to look for the traces of the stragglers.

The skirmishers were now at the entrance, the farthest from the throne. The ice cones on the dome began to shake, as if they would fall in the next second. The ice sculpture guards on the losing side also began to move, as if blaming the chess player for their anger at the failure.

The icicles fell to the ground too densely, and they were so large and heavy that each one was like a guillotine on the execution ground.

It was very difficult for the skirmishers to advance, after all, they had to deal with ice cones while fighting against the ice sculpture guards.

The ice cones that fell to the ground turned into water in an instant, and the water level of the entire palace gradually rose, soon covering the ankles.

Heidi wanted to go over to help, but was stopped by the little wandering spirit. "Amao said that he won't let you go to rescue him. Just take care of yourself, and he will come."

"Did he know the result?" Heidi asked.

The little wandering soul handed over the remaining note.

"Left...both are left..." Heidi crumpled the note into a ball and looked in the direction of the scattered soldiers. She felt sad, touched, and a little inexplicable anger in her heart.
