Chapter 1257: The Blue Mountains



"Sylphy, wake up... We're almost getting there."

"Hmm?"

Slowly, I opened my eyes.

It seems that I had fallen asleep at some point.

The morning sun of the next day could be seen through the windows of the airship.

We've been traveling for over ten hours I believe.

"Dad..."

Dad woke me up, he seemed slightly sleepy, but I think he stayed awake the entire time.

Was he sad, maybe?

I couldn't tell, but he was smiling with the same confidence he always did.

I kind of admire my dad, he's always smiling and showing confidence.

How can I gain that? It's hard to even smile after being separated from my friends, my brother, from mom, and from Aquarina.

"Did you sleep well? You slept for like twelve hours, haha," he was drinking some coffee. "Here, I brought you some tea, sandwiches, and cookies. Can you wake up Celica and Celeste?"

"Sure..." I yawned, as I realized we were very far away from Agartha now.

The landscape was beautiful, something I think I had never seen before.

Snow everywhere, and countless peaks as far as the eye could see.

The sky was still rather clear, barely any cloud, and the sun was slowly rising from the horizon.

Despite that, the snow didn't melt, it was a very cold region of the continent.

However, that wasn't all, every mountain had large, blue colored crystals.

Even from here, I could sense it, large quantities of accumulated Ice and Water Attribute spiritual energy.

This is a perfect opportunity too, now that I'll be with them for a while, I want to deepen my bond with them, know them more, and maybe, mellow down Celeste so she stops closing her heart so much to us.

"Come on, wake up... Celica~" I started pulling her cute blue-skinned cheeks.

"Muhh... Mister Teddy help..." she started groaning. "Ah! S-Sylphy?! Uwah! Eh? Oh..."

She was a bit startled but quickly calmed down.

"Sorry... Did I fall sleep for too long? I was a bit sleepy..." she yawned.

"A bit is too little to say, haha, you slept for a long while," my father commented. "We're almost there now, look."

He pointed in front of the airship, there was one of the largest mountains in front.

A large opening, a literal hole carved into the mountain itself, held by several pillars was

there.

It was like a gigantic cave only a giant could have opened.

Inside, there was a large airport, with airships coming in and out all the time.

Most of them were carrying tons and tons of blue colored ice spirit crystals.

It seems this was the big selling point of this area, the mining and extraction of these crystals, which are quite vital for our daily lives.

Every single water-producing magic item always uses these, and also any tool we use to keep things cold also uses it.

Spatial storages are a commodity only the richest families could ever afford, so these items is what most people use around the continent, or even the world.

"Wow!"

Celica smiled, her bright golden eyes shining with excitement.

"Hmm? What with all that noise..."

Celeste slowly opened her bright red eyes, looking around.

"Ah! Are we already here?!"

Sleepyhead...
