When you are cold, the muscles in your body and mind will slowly start to freeze.
Just like climbing an iceberg.
Linc wanted to fight Hanna's grip. But every time he put his hand on her shoulder, an extreme coldness rose up, and made Linc's whole body stiffen completely.
He had also tried to raise his body temperature to three hundred centigrade, the temperature limit he was able to endure at this time. But all he got was a gentle smile on Hanna's face, and her body temperature growing colder and colder.
"It's Warm."
Screw you!
You're warm, I'm cold!
Let me go!
"Linc, hold on! Release him you ice sculpture! You're going to kill him!"
"No." Hanna still answered her with the same answer.
"If you keep doing this, Linc's Consciousness will freeze to death! His body will turn cold!"
Hearing the word "cold" uttered by Claire. Hanna hesitated a bit, before she reluctantly let go of Linc.
"...."
Stepped foot quickly, to take a few steps back. Linc emerged from the thick smog from the clash of fire and ice. And he fell to the floor helplessly.
"It's... Cold..." Linc's body shivered, and the sound of grinding teeth, could be heard very clearly, escaped his mouth.
"This is why I don't like you."
"Sorry... I didn't mean it like that." Hanna lowered her head, regretful.
Dragged Linc a little away from Hanna. Claire uses the authority of the LOVE she has seized, and she begins to take care of Linc carefully.
"Thank you..."
Linc got up, and he immediately sat on the ground limply.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah... I'm fine. Apart from being cold, it's really fine." Linc wrapped himself in a thick blanket.
So many questions suddenly popped up in his mind right now.
Why did Hanna, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly move, and hug Claire like that?
Claire also seems to have know Hanna for a long time?
This is really very annoying.
Linc usually doesn't want to find out other people's secrets because it involves someone's privacy. But, since this was about him as well, Linc decided to find out.
"Tell me. What's really going on here?"
Claire who heard Linc's words. Suddenly came to her senses, and she immediately pointed his finger at Hanna angrily.
"You! why are you here!?"
"I came to visit." Hanna gave a very innocent response.
But Claire, her interlocutor, was not provoked by her behavior at all.
"I know that Aherana's curse is a curse that you created! you start learning from them, you want to make Linc your anchor!"
Hanna shook her head frantically: "I didn't mean that..."
"Then why are you here? Using their power? Aren't you afraid of being killed by that person?"
Saw that Hanna clenched her hands tightly, and bit her lower lip with all her might. Linc saw her eyes begin to tear up.
Like a little wildebeest being mistreated.
"I didn't... I didn't mean it like that... I just wanted to see the outside world... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you all..." Hanna, started to cry.
Linc: "...."
Somehow their way of speaking was like that of a grown man bullying a child who didn't know anything.
Linc felt sorry for Hanna.
"Calm down, Claire. Whether she has good intentions or bad intentions we still don't know at all. How about we sit quietly and discuss together."
Instead of a fight path where fighting first, then an explanation. Linc prefers the path of deliberation, the path of peace.
Snapped his fingers, and made the entire messy room of his house tidy again. Linc sat on the sofa, with Claire sitting next to him.
"So, let's start the discussion. Tell me, what's really going on here?"
Claire answered the question, while pointing at Hanna with an unfriendly look.
"She used an anchor on you. This is a god skill from the abyss of Ether."
"Anyone who has become an anchor, depending on the quality of the soul, will gradually begin to become a puppet that can be controlled by them. You can interpret it as an incarnation of a god's child."
"Emotions and personality changed?" Linc asked curiously.
"Yes, all the god children who become their anchors often have the personality and skills of the gods that control them. After all, the fate of the person who has become an anchor is not so good."
This is how the curse of the Magiota family begins.
Whoever would anchor this person, would freeze to death sooner or later.
All of them became ice sculptures.
Thinking for a while, and saw Linc's curious gaze, thirsty for knowledge. Claire finally chose to divulge a secret.
"LOVE also came from the abyss of Ether. His high quality anchor to come to this world is doctor Servial you often mention."
"Servial used LOVE's ability to wipe out all the Ether gods who wanted to appear in this world. Ending the war that has been going on for a long time. after that, he tricked LOVE into the prison box, successfully swindling the contract without paying any price except for one missing eyeball."
Linc was confused: "Then what about the Aurora expedition? Didn't they all accidentally find LOVE inside the crystal church?"
Claire put on a disgusted expression: "How would I know? He's the one who sealed us all, and he's the one who released us again as if he didn't know anything. This is all just a charade he made to deceive the world."
Puzzle, starting to arrange.
Somehow Linc began to understand slowly.
"Then what about you? How did you learn their anchor technique!? What's your goal!" Claire pointed at Hanna angrily.
Has a frozen expression, mixed with guilt. Hanna started to make a weak voice.
"I just... Just wanted to see the outside world..."
Recalling old memories, where her brothers and sisters talked about the outside world. Hanna opened her mouth nervously.
"My brothers and sisters... say that the outside world is very beautiful."
"There's a big dazzling yellow thing overhead. A blue and white color fills the whole scene, and strange living things roam everywhere... I... I just want to see them all."
"So you used an anchor!?"
"Y-Yes."
Hanna lowered her head guiltily.
Linc who had been watching silently. Start asking a question.
"Why did you suddenly hug Claire?"
"Um... I missed a bit..."
Linc looked at Claire, and Claire rolled her eyes: "By the way, you held me together with LOVE for almost 800+ years!"
Claire gritted her teeth in anger.
Who could endure this soul-piercing chill for nearly 800+ years? Still sane, thanks!
Managed to achieve its goals, and understand the ins and outs of the story. Linc nodded his head slowly.
"Okay, she's a friend."
"Eh?"
Seeing the confused expression on Claire's face. Linc thought for a moment, before he changed his mind.
"Wrong, she is my daughter now. look at the way she talks like someone has the mental age of an eight year old child. She may not be able to orchestrate such a complex conspiracy."
After all, he had already made an appointment with her.
"So can you give her a chance, Claire? She's just a kid with an adult body."
"There's nothing to be afraid."
Linc smiled at Claire.
"Besides, she is also my daughter."
