Chapter 120: Chapter 81 Frost Leader, Ice Flame Iris

"[Frozen Soil]..."

Ronan softly murmured the name of the seal.

He carefully examined the appearance of the seal in his hand. From the perspective of a Rune Master like him, the structure of the [Frozen Soil] seal was not particularly complicated, not even as complex as the [Bloodthirst] seal he got from Lola.

Ronan had visited every Rune Store in the Seventh Ring City, also attempting to acquire a Soul Seal Legacy through purchase.

But the seals displayed with price tags at the stores all had ordinary effects, merely some of the most common general seals—none of them satisfied Ronan.

First Rank Magic stores also sold them, but they were only the most basic, slightly powerful core spells that could only be obtained through the channels of power legacies.

The [Frozen Soil] seal, judging just by its structure and complexity, was a little better than those general seals sold at stores but not as good as Lola’s [Bloodthirst].

Ronan thought, if the grades of Soul Seals were divided into categories like common, rare, and exceptional..., the [Frozen Soil] seal’s quality should only rank in the rare tier, while [Bloodthirst] could reach exceptional.

Ronan was unclear about the specific effects of the [Frozen Soil] seal. Without guidance, he might only understand it after he successfully refined the seal.

"A First Rank Ice Magic legacy, not very complex, with low refining requirements, yet decent in quality, making it quite suitable for a newly promoted Level 1 Wizard’s refining of an Ice Soul Seal.

Also, an unmistakably Ice type First Rank Magic Tool..."

Ronan picked up the necklace studded with ice blue gemstones, with a dark blue ring hanging at the bottom, emanating faint waves of Ice Energy, and thoughtfully remarked, "It seems like a starter kit for a First Rank Ice Wizard..."

Considering Linus, who predominantly studied Ice Magic during his Apprenticeship, everything seemed quite reasonable—this was the legacy left to him by his deceased teacher.

"But why would a Wandering Wizard, who was an Advanced Apprentice, leave an Official Wizard Level inheritance for his disciple?"

Confusion appeared in Ronan’s eyes. He then picked up the last unopened letter in the box.

The letter’s paper material was unknown—it felt cool, smooth, and delicate, as if holding a thin piece of ice.

As he opened it, a faint chill greeted him.

It seemed to transport Ronan to an ancient, desolate world of ice and snow—

[Dear Soraya,

When you see this letter, I should already be dead.

Do not feel sad for me. My soul will follow the Northern Lights, permanently residing in the extreme northern glaciers...

..Please treat the bearer of this letter as your own. Harlow is a good child; his talent isn’t outstanding, but he possesses a heart as pure and kind as an Ice Crystal.

I left him with [Frozen Soil], which may be the most suitable seal for him.

No one knows the profound mysteries within it; those who underestimate it do not understand that the Lansite family’s legend began with it.

....

The Frost Leaders, their hearts feel colder than the icy winds of the extreme north.

They completely forgot the glory and honor that "Ice Flame Iris" once brought them. They drove us away like an old snow wolf with decayed claws and fangs; we were forced to leave our homeland, our kin dying one by one amidst blizzards and dangers.

No one can feel my anger and sorrow!

So I took away the "Ice Ring!"

They shall never obtain it, nor know its secrets!

.....

Soraya...Soraya... My tears, murky, freeze into Ice Crystals on the letter, I see Alrice smiling and waving at me, along with our three children...

I hope you will witness the Lansite family’s glory once again instead of me!]

Ronan slowly put down the letter, an odd light flickering across his face.

"Ice Flame Iris...Lansite family...Frost Leader...and, Ice Ring!"

This was a letter someone wrote in their final moments to a person named "Soraya."

There was no signature.

The information within the letter was vast and complicated; from the chaotic words, Ronan barely pieced together a thread—a family’s decline, driven away by a power they once helped to build, the last member of the family took away something extremely important....

This seemed to be a story filled with sorrow and resentment, yet unfortunately, Ronan could not empathize.

He took up the Magic Tool necklace from the box, and found a small engraving on the chain full of ice blue gemstones, which read—[To my dearest Alrice!]

The dark blue Ice Ring at the bottom was added later; its aura was ancient and obscure, and as Ronan’s spiritual power penetrated it, he felt a soul-piercing chill, barely capturing a supremely complicated rune inside.

"Alrice’s Ice Ring Necklace..."

Ronan’s gaze shifted to the Soul Seal named [Frozen Soil]. According to the information revealed in the letter, this seal seemed not as simple as it appeared.

"..So this should be the inheritance left for Linus’s teacher. Linus’s teacher was the letter’s intended recipient, the one named Harlow.

It was unclear why, but Harlow didn’t deliver the letter to its intended recipient. Before he died, he left the unopened inheritance to Linus, and now, this inheritance had come into Ronan’s possession..."
