Li Ang narrowed his eyes. Without a doubt, Princess Anna was suffering from severe frostbite.

Considering that this was the heavily guarded residence of the governor, there couldn't have been an assassination attempt.

And since she only suffered from ordinary heart disease, it wouldn't produce frostbite marks.

Could it be that the source of the frostbite was Princess Anna's own older sister, the Ice Queen who ruled several kingdoms?

Li Ang's brief hesitation, in the eyes of the female physician Carly, was probably because the Eastern monk was worried about getting caught up in some royal dispute. She hurriedly urged, "Your Eminence! Please prepare for surgery immediately! I can guarantee the safety of you and your disciples!"

"I know."

Li Ang nodded, frowning as he said bluntly, "But I have to observe the princess's condition before I can formulate a ritual plan."

When treating the ten patients before, Li Ang had fabricated different rituals for each patient in order to get more transcendent materials. This time, naturally, it would be no exception.

The female physician Carly didn't suspect anything. She gestured to the spellcasters behind the monks, allowing Li Ang to step forward and carefully examine Princess Anna's condition.

The fingers and part of the palm indeed showed signs of frostbite.

It was deep, reaching the entire layer of the skin, the subcutaneous tissue, and part of the muscle. The surface of the skin was black or purplish-brown, the injured area had lost sensation to pain, and the wound was not easy to heal.

The toes were intact.

Pale frost clung to the eyelashes, above the fingernails, and on the inside of the fingernails. This frost showed no signs of melting indoors and could not be scraped off even with tools.

It was suspected to be the residue of a powerful transcendent ability.

As for the heart...

Li Ang summoned the Biological Blueprint and hid it in front of his chest. He scanned it with his spiritual sense and discovered that a layer of pale frost had also formed on the surface of Princess Anna's heart.

The already deformed and shrunken heart, under the erosion of the frost, seemed even weaker and more powerless, its beating frequency slowing down as if it had entered hibernation.

Fortunately, the potion she had drunk before had taken effect, constantly nourishing the heart so that it could barely withstand the cold and not freeze into ice, stopping its beat.

Li Ang, with the Biological Blueprint in his chest, held Princess Anna's hand, pretended to observe for a while, then stood up and said to Carly with a serious face, "The situation is very bad. There is a layer of ice on her heart, and she could die suddenly at any time. Surgery must be performed immediately."

Carly clenched her fists tightly, but still maintained a calm expression on her face. "Understood, what do you need?"

Without saying a word, Li Ang asked for paper and pen and quickly wrote down a long list, handing it to Carly.

The latter glanced at it and ordered the security personnel to take Li Ang's disciples out to get the materials.

"Princess Anna's condition is very bad. A layer of frost has formed on the surface of her heart. That layer of ice is unbreakable and cannot be melted at all."

Li Ang asked with a serious face, "If you want to save her life, you'd better tell me exactly what happened? How did her condition suddenly deteriorate?

If I don't know the details, I'm not sure I can solve it.

I have to prescribe the right medicine."

His tone was cold and grave,

causing Carly to clench her fists so tightly that her nails dug deeply into her palms.

She glanced around the room. Only security personnel and medical staff remained, so she lowered her voice and said slowly, "This morning, Princess Anna went to the Ice Palace outside the city as usual."

"At this time?"

Li Ang raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you afraid that something will happen to her?"

"Maintaining a meeting with Her Majesty the Queen is a tradition. And we made full first aid preparations at the time,"

Carly said slowly, "As before, Princess Anna entered the palace alone. It's just that this meeting lasted too long.

Previously, Princess Anna would come out of the palace in at most three hours, but this time, she stayed in the palace for six hours."

"Wait,"

Li Ang frowned and asked, "Princess Anna is an ordinary person without spellcasting abilities, right? That ice palace is never open to outsiders.

In addition to being Her Majesty the Queen's palace, there is also the reason that the temperature inside the palace is extremely low, and ordinary people may freeze to death after entering."

""

Carly's lips were pressed tightly together. After a long time, she made up her mind and said slowly, "Princess Anna has no spellcasting abilities, but the palace itself is not that terrifying.

The princess described to me that in the hall of the palace, there is a constant-temperature fountain.

The spring water inside the fountain has a special magic, which has an unparalleled healing effect on any form of injury."

"Heals injuries?"

Li Ang's heart stirred, and he muttered to himself, "I see from the previous medical records that Princess Anna's heart disease is relieved every once in a while. It turns out that the fountain is playing a role."

Then the question comes, where did the fountain come from?

Did it suddenly emerge from the ground, or was it caused by the Ice Queen's ability?

If it suddenly emerged from the ground, then it could just explain the Ice Queen's reason for building the palace - she may have contracted some kind of disease and needs to use the spring water to treat herself. Not letting outsiders in is also to monopolize the spring water.

If it is caused by the Ice Queen herself being too powerful and slightly spilling some of her ability, then it also makes sense - the Ice Queen, who dissipates energy at any time, is no longer suitable to be with ordinary humans and can only live a reclusive life alone.

However, it has an unparalleled healing effect on any form of injury.

This description clearly corresponds to the players' mission objective!

Take the "complete" magic mirror away from the palace!

That fountain may be the key to healing the magic mirror and restoring it to its original state.

Carly, who was facing him, was completely unaware of the turbulent heart under Li Ang's calm expression and was still slowly saying, "When Princess Anna walked out of the palace, she was still very normal.

But before we could get to the foot of the mountain, she began to faint slightly.

Before falling asleep, she told me a sentence."

"What sentence?"

"Find that doctor."
