Chapter 416 The Villain Lady Arrives 245
Alice held the "Ice Crystal Heart" that was shining with cold light in her hand, and her heart was filled with great excitement and anticipation. She knew that this gem would give her new power and allow her to go further on the road of magic. She carefully placed the "Ice Crystal Heart" on the refining table and began to prepare to forge the magic wand she had always dreamed of.
The refining process was complicated and tedious, requiring extremely high concentration and precise control. Alice took a deep breath and immersed herself in the process. She moved her hands flexibly, adding various precious materials to the refining pot one by one, and each addition was accompanied by a spell in her mouth.
The flames in the refining pot jumped, melting and fusing the materials one by one. Alice stared at the changes in the pot, afraid of missing any details. Her eyes flashed with determination and persistence, as if she wanted to inject all her beliefs into this magic wand.
As time went by, the material in the pot gradually condensed into a stick that shone with mysterious light. Alice's heart was in her throat, and she knew that the most critical step was coming - embedding the "Ice Crystal Heart" into the stick.
She gently picked up the "Ice Crystal Heart" and felt the coldness and purity it conveyed. Then, she took a deep breath and slowly inserted the gem into the groove of the staff. At the moment the gem touched the staff, a powerful energy burst out from the staff, illuminating the entire refining room.
Alice was delighted, she knew she was about to succeed. However, at this moment, a sudden pain came from her hands. She was surprised to find that the energy that was supposed to be gently integrated had become extremely violent and was frantically devouring the surrounding magic power.
"No!" Alice screamed in horror. She tried to use her magic to control the violent energy, but it was too late. With a deafening explosion, the refining room was instantly engulfed in flames.
Alice felt her body being thrown out by a huge force and hit the wall of the refining room heavily. Her eyes went dark and she lost consciousness.
When she woke up again, she found herself lying on a strange bed. It was dark all around, with only a weak oil lamp flickering. She tried hard to sit up, but the severe pain in her body forced her to give up the idea.
"You're awake." A deep voice sounded in the room. Alice looked in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged man in a robe standing in the corner of the room. His face was calm and serious, and his eyes were shining with a deep light.
"Who are you?" Alice asked with difficulty. Her voice was hoarse and weak, as if it would disappear into the air at any time.
"I am the guardian of this mountain." The middle-aged man replied, "You exploded when you were refining the magic wand, and I saved you."
Alice was filled with gratitude when she heard this. She whispered, "Thank you for saving me."
The middle-aged man nodded slightly, and then continued: "Your magic staff refining failed because you do not have enough ability to control the power of the 'Ice Crystal Heart'. That gem contains powerful magic power, and only a truly powerful and pure mind can control it."
Alice felt disappointed when she heard this. She originally thought she was strong enough, but now it seems that she still has a long way to go. She whispered, "I understand. I will continue to practice hard until I can control the power of the gem."
The middle-aged man looked at her with a gleam of admiration in his eyes. He whispered, "Very good. You have such determination and courage. I believe you will succeed. But before that, you need to take care of your body first."
Alice nodded, then asked, "How long have I been unconscious?"
"One day and one night." The middle-aged man replied, "Your body has been seriously injured. You need to rest and recuperate."
Alice felt a sense of urgency when she heard this. She knew that she couldn't stay here for too long, otherwise she would miss more opportunities and challenges. She whispered, "I must leave here as soon as possible and continue my journey."
The middle-aged man looked at her with a worried look in his eyes. But he did not dissuade her, but whispered: "Since you have made up your mind, I will not say anything more. But remember, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you must maintain firm faith and courage."
With that, he turned and left the room. Alice looked at his departing figure, her heart filled with gratitude and determination. She knew that she had found the direction and strength to move forward, and no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were ahead, she would move forward without hesitation.
In the following days, Alice gradually recovered under the care of the mountain guardian. She practiced every day, trying to improve her magic power and magic skills. Although her progress was slow, she never gave up.
One morning, Alice stood in front of the window, looking at the snow-covered mountains outside. She felt a strong urge in her heart, and she wanted to challenge herself again and find her own magic wand.
She turned to look at the Guardian of the Mountain and whispered, "I'm leaving now. Thank you for your care and help."
The mountain guardian looked at her with a gleam of reluctance in his eyes. But he knew that Alice was a person with firm beliefs and courage, and she would not stay here for too long. He whispered, "Take care. No matter where you go, remember your original intention and mission."
Alice nodded, and then resolutely left the mountain. She embarked on a journey to a farther place to find her own magic wand.
During the journey, Alice encountered various challenges and difficulties. She wanted to give up countless times, but every time she did, she would remember the words of the mountain guardian: "No matter what difficulties you encounter, you must maintain firm faith and courage." This sentence seemed to be an invisible force that supported her through countless difficulties and obstacles.
Finally one day, Alice came to a legendary magic workshop. It was home to magic masters and craftsmen from all over the world, who possessed superb skills and endless wisdom. Alice knew that this would be her last hope to make a magic wand.
She walked into the workshop and found an experienced magic craftsman. She told him her experience and ideas, and asked him to help her make a new magic wand. The magic craftsman listened to her story with admiration in his eyes. He whispered, "I am moved by your courage and determination. I am willing to help you make a magic wand of your own."
In the following days, Alice and the magic craftsman worked hard to create a perfect magic wand. They experienced countless failures and setbacks, but always maintained firm faith and courage. Finally one day, a magic wand shining with mysterious light was born in their hands.
