Rebirth: I can easily control the end-of-the-world game

Chapter 217 [Swan] 1

A strange cold wind mixed with snow swept past, and Feng Lan's eyes blurred inexplicably. The forest that was lush green just now was covered with white snow, and snow began to fall on the lake. The column of white swans that flew from nowhere turned into a group of young girls, playing in the huge lake.

Feng Lan hid in the forest which had inexplicably turned cold and snowy, listening to the silver bell-like laughter of a girl coming from the distant lake.

Feng Lan:?

Wow, so magical~

Swan turns alive——Magical Girl (bushi.

Feng Lan shook her hair, and snowflakes fell from her head. The heavy snow around her had not stopped yet. Because the snow was too thick and too much, it kept falling, visually maintaining a pause effect of snow flying all over the sky. Feng Lan stretched out her hand, and the cold snow fell on her hand. The real touch made people believe that these were snowflakes.

Feng Lan thought for a while, staring at the girls playing in the lake in the distance, and walked out of the forest. The unconcealed footsteps fell on the snow, making a "crunching" sound, which instantly attracted the attention of the girls in the lake.

It is better to be proactive than passive.

The playful girls stopped and stared at Feng Lan with their young and beautiful faces.

"who are you?"

A clear female voice questioned Feng Lan who suddenly appeared, with obvious vigilance.

Feng Lan's expression was equally confused, and a little wary. She stayed by the lake and didn't go over. "You guys are... I just came out of the forest, and it started snowing heavily here in the blink of an eye, and then I got lost... Do you know where to go to Nightingale Country?"

Feng Lan did not answer the swan girls' questions, but her young and beautiful appearance added a lot of points to her. Coupled with her confused look and the fact that she was alone, they naturally understood Feng Lan's identity from her words.

A traveler who was heading to the Kingdom of Nightingales was unfortunately lost in the snowstorm of the Queen of Winter.

The swan maidens looked at each other, and one of them, also with long black hair, stepped forward to answer Feng Lan, "The Kingdom of Nightingales is just ahead. Cross three mountain ranges, wade through a long, endless green river, and pass through a quiet forest filled with small white flowers. If you see a white bird in the woods, it's a good friend of the Nightingale, and it will take you to the Kingdom of Nightingales."

Feng Lan listened to the black-haired girl's directions and showed gratitude. "Thank you for your help. Otherwise, I don't know how long I would have walked. Is there anything I can help you with?"

The swan girls were soaking in the lake and looking at each other. They were all wearing a layer of feather-like clothes, so they didn't feel cold even in the icy lake.

"Wouldn't this be too dangerous?"

"Indeed, she might be discovered by the Winter Queen!"

"But she offered to help..."

"You can ask the brothers to watch over her from heaven. Anyway, this is an opportunity."

"We do have a favor to offer you, kind traveler."

The girls chatted for a while, and when they saw that the wind and snow gradually died down, they became determined. One of the girls with snow-white hair stood out. Her face was like ice and snow, and her pupils were also a cold blue, like a frozen lake. There was a trace of sadness between her brows, but her expression was firm, and she was obviously a person with a firm heart.

"This is a very dangerous matter. Perhaps you will incur the wrath of the Winter Queen and be turned into an ice sculpture in her palace. Even so, are you willing to help us?"

Feng Lan nodded, "Of course, please go ahead, everyone. I will do my best to help you."

Hearing Feng Lan's unchanged answer, the girls cheered, feeling a little happy, and then told Feng Lan their story.

It turns out that these swans turned into grown-up girls. Before the Queen of Winter occupied the entire north, they were all princesses of the northern territory kingdom. Until one day, the Queen of Winter woke up from the severe cold, and as ice and snow occupied a large area of ​​​​territory, under the resistance of these countries, all the princesses of the kingdom were turned into swans by her, and the princes were turned into Saker Falcons by her, and the people of the kingdom were turned into ice sculptures that would never wake up.

In the territory occupied by the Queen of Winter, it snows all year round. Only in the hottest summer, when the passionate Sun Goddess passes by the north, will the snow stop. The people of the kingdom will recover from the ice sculptures and continue their lives, and the princesses and princes will return to their own country with the monsoon.

When the sun goddess left, they followed the monsoon and left the north, and followed the wind and snow to leave their homeland. Everything in the kingdom was frozen by the wind and snow again until the next summer.

These princesses can only return to the kingdom to reunite with their families in the summer every year, but they can only regain their human form in the wind and snow. Therefore, every time they go back, they meet their families in the form of swans. When the blizzard comes and they can regain their human form, they have to follow the monsoon and leave the north, and their families are frozen into ice sculptures by the returning snow.

Of course, the swan girls, or princesses, did not ask Feng Lan to defeat the Queen of Winter, but to help them transform back into human form.

"We really want to hug our family! Queen Mother hasn't seen me in human form in ages."

"Me too. Father has almost forgotten what I looked like in human form. He only remembers me as a swan."

"How can I rescue you?"

Feng Lan listened to the princesses' experiences as if they were fairy tales. After the princesses finished speaking, they briefly reminisced about their loved ones before continuing to talk to Feng Lan about ways to rescue them.

"To lift the curse upon us, you must find the Winter Queen's snow doll."

"The snowman is hiding in the blizzard. He's afraid of fire."

"The snow doll has the key to the Winter Palace, which the Winter Queen placed there."

"You must defeat the snowman and get the key to the palace from him. Only then can you find the Winter Palace, which only appears in the snow."

"Be careful of the Winter Queen, who may return at any time. Her magic is very powerful and she is very sensitive to the breath of living people. If you meet her, do not breathe. Wait until she falls asleep before taking any action."

"In her palace, there's a magical spring that never freezes. Bring some water from the spring, and if each of us takes a sip, it will break the winter curse on us."

As the princess finished speaking, Feng Lan received the copy message.
