My villain wants to save himself, but the yandere heroine disagrees

This creature is covered with long and dense white hair, has dark skin, and is more than ten meters tall.

No creature can be used to describe it. This creature is an absolutely ferocious beast in any era, but at this moment it is frozen in an ice sculpture like a work of art.

"Orson, do you think this thing is a 'snow monster'?"

Elsa stared at the creature in the ice in amazement and couldn't help asking.

"Maybe... but..."

Orson said this and turned his eyes to other places.

At this moment, there are several ice sculptures like this in this cave.

"The number of snow monsters... is there more than one?"

Orson did not use fire to melt the ice. He didn't know whether ordinary fire could melt the ice left by the gods, and he didn't want to risk opening Pandora's box.

"Let's ignore these things."

Orson said this and looked at the center of the cave.

A deep well was located there, and the wellhead was slightly glowing with blue light, as if suggesting that there was something inside.

Chapter 20: The World in the Well

The three of Lit encountered several more villages outside the snowfield. With Lianka's social skills, the three also got similar information. However, on the way to the snowfield, the three met other second-year students.

After a brief discomfort in the previous few days, the top students of the Imperial College showed their strong abilities. Whether it was through the simplest survival skills, socializing, or forcibly taking away the supplies of wild beasts by force, it was a good strategy.

After the supplies were sufficient, everyone wanted to complete the task as soon as possible.

Most of the first-year students lived near the villages outside the snowfield. They could help the villagers hunt with their own abilities in exchange for some other daily necessities. When the second-year students saw the three of Lit in the depths of the snowfield, they were all surprised.

The day before yesterday, the three of Lit saw Manuel, who was also in the second-year class one, on the periphery. He was also a colleague of Orson and Olivia in the student union. In addition to him, there were some companions traveling with him.

Although he and Orson and others have different social circles, they do not interfere with each other and have no conflicts of interest. On the contrary, they have a cooperative relationship. Therefore, he took care to share the information he obtained with Lit and the other two, and took them to the depths of the snowfield.

A big reason for doing this is that Lit and the other three are stronger than many second-year students. Since they can do it, Lit and others should not be in danger.

Besides, even if there is danger, there is a terrifying Lena to protect them, so nothing will happen. He can do this to achieve the best of both worlds and to build a good relationship with the future Duke of Antica.

Yes, after Orson left the family, Lit became Lucius's only son and the only heir to the Dukedom of Antica.

As the only heir to the Dukedom of Aragon, he intends to win over Lit in order to gain a firm foothold in the future empire.

"Senior Manuel, haven't you seen Orson and the others these days?" Lit followed the team and asked Manuel.

"Well, there is no information about them." Manuel nodded. "The snowfield is not as big as we thought. At least in the past ten days, I met many classmates, but there is no information about Orson, Olivia and Elsa."

"But I remember that they set out later than you."

"After all, that's Orson." Manuel said with a wry smile. "Junior Lit, you compare us with your brother, but you think too highly of us."

"We are here, a basin in the mountains." Manuel suddenly stopped and pointed to a building in the distance.

The building is made of pine and birch, which are special products of the snowfield. The overall scale is far different from the cathedral in Saint Laurent City. This scale is only the size of a city church with a population of about 10,000 in the empire.

However, it is a miracle to have such a large building in Lapland.

But at this moment, there is no one in front of the building, and there is no trace of anyone camping.

"...It seems that we are the first to arrive here." Manuel sighed and said so.

"Then Orson and the others..."

"I don't know, but let's go in and take a look first." Manuel waved behind him, motioning everyone to follow.

...

On the other side, Orson stood at the mouth of the well. Looking down from the mouth of the well, it seemed as deep as the galaxy and the universe. He couldn't see how deep it was, and he didn't know the specific situation below.

He took the torch in his hand and threw it down.

However, after throwing it down, there was no echo.

Orson used another flare and shot it into the well, but less than five meters into the well, the light source was instantly lost.

Looking at Olivia and Elsa beside him, Orson shook his head.

"I'm not sure about the situation below. Maybe it's some kind of ban, maybe it's some kind of mechanism. In short, there is no light, no sound, nothing."

"Isn't this in line with the legendary setting?" Olivia folded her hands in front of her chest, thought for a while, and then said.

She knocked on the side of the well.

"Perhaps the frozen world is originally silent and dark?"

"Perhaps the god lives here. What do you think? Should we go down and take a look?"

Olivia suggested.

Elsa on the side suddenly looked puzzled.

"Olivia, are you crazy or am I crazy? Magic in a place like this will be swallowed up. Don't you know what risks there are if we go down hastily?"

"Of course I know, but if you want to get closer to the truth, sometimes you have to take such risks, right?"

"But... this is just a test organized by the college. We need to..."

While the two were arguing, Orson, who had been staring deeply into the well, suddenly spoke:

"For us, it's just a test, but for some people, maybe it's not."

Saying this, without waiting for Olivia and Elsa to respond, Orson jumped directly into the well.

"Orson!"

Both Olivia and Elsa subconsciously called Orson's name.

Both of them were in a very panic mood now.

Even though Olivia suggested going down to take a look, she didn't expect Orson to jump in without any backup measures.

And Elsa's heart was tense.

"Elsa, you stay up there, I'll go down to find Orson. If the two of us disappear... let's not talk about this." Olivia said this and jumped down with Orson.

Seeing the two of them being swallowed up by the darkness in the well, Elsa stamped her feet anxiously and then jumped in.

Orson was falling in the darkness, feeling weightless. He had not yet thought of using magic to buffer himself from the pressure.

He is also gambling.

A god that is sincerely believed by its believers, a god that does not allow its followers to take advantage of its force, and a god that does not give or ask for anything from its followers.

This kind of god will not set a killing move where it can be contacted.

And the reality was just as Orson expected.

The falling speed in the second half of the journey became slower and slower, and until the end, Orson even felt that he was being held up in mid-air by something, and he was falling slowly.

And all this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Orson's vision also expanded rapidly in the next second, and the darkness turned into light.

This is a crystal-clear cave. Although it is still cold, it is far less bitter than the outside world.

The cave is surrounded by various colored crystals, and the light source from nowhere causes them to reflect colorful colors.

If the darkness just now was a desperate journey, the scene Orson sees now is like the dawn after darkness.

Full of life.

Chapter 21: Gods full of bad taste

The slow descent continued for several minutes until Orson's feet touched the ground.

At the same time, Olivia and Elsa also saw this beautiful sight, and both of them were so surprised that they were speechless.

"Does it look good?" At this time, a young female voice sounded.

Everyone followed the line of sight and looked over.

A girl with ice-blue short hair was sitting in the ice coffin. She was wearing a thin dress and seemed completely unfazed by the severe cold around her.

The girl has a beautiful face, and her delicate facial features are not inferior to those of Olivia and Elsa present, but her figure is too thin and thin.

Seeing that there were still outsiders in the cave, the three of them immediately became vigilant. Then Orson looked at the girl in front of them and spoke slowly:

"It's very beautiful here. I never thought there would be such a scene under the snow-capped mountains."

Then he got right to the point.

"Are you the hero in the legend of Lapland who defeated the snow monster and saved the people of Lapland from the fire and water?"

"I didn't remember that I had such a beautiful title, but are the snow monsters you are talking about the ones I froze on top to prevent this place from being invaded?" The other party said this, his ice blue eyes slightly twitching. He looked down, as if he was thinking about something.

"Yes." Orson nodded.

"However, they seem to be still frozen and have no effect at guarding this place." Elsa added at this time.

"It shouldn't be..." Hearing Elsa say this, the girl frowned and raised her eyes to look at the three of them.

"None of the three of you has the strength above the ninth level. In this case, the guards should take action, unless one of you makes those guards feel shocked."

Saying this, the girl shook her head.

"Forget it, maybe I misplaced the restrictions I set a thousand years ago and turned the contract into a crime and punishment."

Then, she stood up from the ice coffin.

"My name is Ostia. I should have done all the things you mentioned earlier."

She moved her body, and then her feet without shoes stood on the ice.

"However, you come here because you have something to do with me, right? As agreed in advance, I have been frozen here for thousands of years. I don't know about the outside world, and I have an agreement with others and cannot leave here, so if you want to ask I'm out to help, that's not possible."

"Okay, we understand." Orson nodded, and then said: "You can think of us as folklorists. We learned about your existence through local rumors among the Laplanders, and then learned about your location. After searching here for a while, I found this place..."

"So, you are just here for a trip?"

"Of course not. We are prepared to learn from your mouth what happened that year to support the beliefs of the Laplanders."

"Oh? From me? Interesting. If I remember correctly, you humans are the best at fabricating and falsifying history, right? What I say, does it matter? Even if I tell you everything that happened back then, will you tell it to others truthfully?"

Ostia said this, with a full sense of sarcasm in her tone.

"But, Lord Ostia..." Elsa retorted at this time: "Since we are all here, please believe in our determination."

"..."Ostia turned his head and looked at Elsa. He was silent for a long time, and then asked: "Royal family?"

"Yes." Elsa nodded. "I am Elsa, the second daughter of Odysseus, the current patriarch of the Lancaster family of the human empire."

"Hehe, you are reporting such a long paragraph, are you trying to scare me?" Ostia smiled, but there was no emotion in her ice-blue eyes.

"Of course not." Elsa shook her head. "I just think that since you recognize the family characteristics of the royal family, Lord Ostia, you should know my ancestors, so I report to you that the empire is still under the governance of the family."

"I don't care who governs the empire." Ostia curled her lips.

At this time, Orson, who was standing aside, also spoke:

"Lord Ostia, as you can see, the severe cold and frost in Lapland have driven the people you protected before away from this area. We can come here not just to investigate something that can be concealed. What we want to know is exactly the truth you know."

"Because only in this way, combined with the legends of the locals, can we understand what happened here a thousand years ago."

"Okay, you want to know, right?" Ostia nodded after hearing this.

"But how much does it cost to trade with the gods? I think you should have been mentally prepared, right?"

"Of course."

Oson said this, looking at Ostia with a firm look.

"Okay." She nodded, sat down next to the ice coffin, then crossed her legs, crossed her arms, tapped her arm with one finger, and began to think.

"Let's put it this way. I've been here alone for so long, and I've been sleeping in the ice coffin most of the time. It's so boring. If a stick hadn't hit my head today, I wouldn't have known someone was coming."

As he said this, Ostia pointed to his forehead.

Hearing this, the three of them immediately broke into cold sweats.

Originally, they threw a torch down to test the depth of the well, but they didn't expect to hit the gods.

"Haha, it's just as I expected. It was you three who threw it?" Seeing the reactions of the three people, Ostia couldn't help laughing.
