“Buzz…”
Arriving at the lakeside, Chen Fan took out the ice block and gently placed it down, afraid that he might drop it and shatter the mermaid.
“System, is this ice block of any recycling value?”
Chen Fan asked.
He felt that the ice block that froze the mermaid was not an ordinary one.
The extreme coldness, that temperature, was not something an ordinary ice block could emit.
“Ding, this ice block is the remaining ice from the release of the Eternal Magic.”
“Under normal temperatures, it will never melt.”
“However, it has no recycling value.”
The System, after a slight scan, prompted.
“Eternal Magic!”
Chen Fan was surprised. There was such powerful magic.
He wondered what its power was.
However, it was definitely a powerful magic that could create or alter the environment.
“System, is this mermaid still alive?”
Chen Fan asked.
“She is still alive. After the Eternal Magic is cast, all matter frozen within the ice will eternally maintain its state before being frozen.”
The System explained.
“Eternal Magic is that powerful?”
“Does that mean this ice block contains an eternal space?”
For a moment, Chen Fan was moved by the Eternal Magic.
“However, under normal circumstances, once the Eternal Magic is dispelled, the existence within the magic will instantly suffer the erosion of endless years.”
The System explained again, leaving Chen Fan speechless.
If the beings within the Eternal Magic were still conscious, it would be an incredibly desperate torment.
If they weren’t rescued, they would be trapped forever.
But if they were rescued, they would perish the moment they appeared in the real world.
“So, after the Eternal Magic is dispelled, all I’ll see is a pile of bones?”
“Or even not even bones?”
Chen Fan asked.
“Ding, under normal circumstances, that’s the case.”
“However, under the System’s repair, the Host’s concerns will not exist.”
The System responded.
“Then perform the repair!”
“Dispel the ice block.”
Chen Fan gave the command.
“Ding, dispelling the Eternal Magic requires three thousand points.”
“Deducted three thousand points, starting repair.”
The System’s voice echoed, and white light began to emanate from Chen Fan’s palm.
Under the shroud of the white light, the ice block gradually melted, but it didn’t turn into water, it simply disappeared.
Simultaneously, the surrounding area was enveloped in a chill.
Chen Fan couldn’t help but tighten his clothes.
But it was no use.
Because this coldness was a pervasive chill.
Clothing couldn’t block it at all.
“Even low-end magical worlds have such OP magic as the Eternal Magic?”
Chen Fan thought to himself.
He really needed to find some time to study some magic.
After all, he had a Magician’s Notebook.
Unfortunately, he hadn’t learned the language of that world, so he couldn’t understand it.
Although Cui Bei Xi was from that world, she wasn’t a magician and probably couldn’t understand it either.
This mermaid should know, though.
After all, in that world, mermaids were natural magicians.
He could summon magic balls without learning magic.
If he learned magic, ordinary spells in his hands would be like forbidden magic.
And instant ones too.
So, cultivating magic was a necessity right now.
…
As time passed, the ice encasing the mermaid finally disappeared completely.
Chen Fan’s gaze fell on her chest, where there was a slight wound.
Once the ice completely vanished, golden blood seeped out.
“So that’s it!”
“Was the Eternal Magic to protect her?”
Chen Fan guessed that it was probably the Eternal Magic that someone cast on the mermaid before she died, preserving her last glimmer of life.
He gently placed his palm on her chest, covering the wound.
“Buzz!”
White light erupted from his palm, and the mermaid’s wound slowly began to heal.
“I’ve never picked up a living creature that wasn’t already injured…”
Chen Fan shook his head, his eyes examining the mermaid.
Mermaids, they truly were the legendary creatures who could tempt sailors.
She was breathtakingly beautiful.
A stunning face, with golden hair flowing naturally.
On her brow, a blue magical mark, adding a touch of allure to her beauty.
The golden crown on her head gave her a sense of majesty and nobility.
The seven gemstones of different colors embedded in the crown held incredibly pure magic.
Chen Fan immediately felt that the seven gems contained elemental magic of different attributes.
Her golden tail, scales shimmering, seamlessly integrated with her perfect body.
At first glance, she was more like a perfect work of art.
Who in the world was worthy of such a sight?
“Cough…”
The mermaid’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, and then she woke up with a cough.
“You…”
Feeling a warm palm on her chest, the mermaid struggled to sit up.
“You’re awake?”
Chen Fan withdrew his palm and asked nonchalantly.
But he was secretly scolding himself for losing his composure.
“Thank you, sir, for saving my life…”
The mermaid’s face flushed slightly, and she expressed her gratitude with utmost sincerity.
She was very confused, though. She clearly didn’t know Chen Fan’s language, but she could understand what he was saying in her heart.
“Don’t be too polite, you’re one of us now.”
Chen Fan smiled.
In his heart, he was lamenting that mermaids really wore too little clothing.
