Chapter 142 The Legend of the Frost Giant
The Beast King is a unique existence, and its combat power may not be better than that of ordinary phantom beasts, but being able to command ordinary beasts of the same species is really a huge advantage.
The Black-rumped Snake King, Pangolin King, and Big-horned Deer King in the Youguang River Valley all have extraordinary value and provide population resources for the territory.
Russell’s red-eyed rat king is also a beast king, but he has just developed his potential.
But even if you have just developed your potential, you can still feel how extraordinary it is.
There is no other reason. Ever since Russell conquered the Red-Eyed Rat King, there has never been a rat infestation in the Black-rumped Snake Manor. Instead of stealing food and destroying furniture, rats forage for food in the wild or go to “supply stations” to eat.
In each village, Russell had people set up supply points and feed food at regular times and at designated points to expand the rat population.
The Treasure Hunting Rat Squad and the Sentinel Rat Squad are both under construction.
However, if you want to truly take shape, you may have to wait until you have contracted the Red-Eyed Rat King and can communicate more clearly before you can do it.
The team paused for a while at Gale Manor.
Grandmother Mrs. Ingrid prepared a gift for her son and his family to take over and give it to Merlin Yujiuhua.
“I’m old, so I won’t go to Blue Bird Castle to visit the old earl this year.” Mrs. Ingrid said naggingly, “Let the little will-o’-wisps send birthday wishes to the old earl on behalf of my grandmother, and wish him a happy life. To one hundred and ninety-five years old!”
The founding monarch of the Grand Duchy of Shadowflame, Dragon Knight Quentin Shadowflame, lived to be one hundred and ninety-five years old, a longevity record for the entire country.
Therefore, wishing others to live to be 195 years old is a very auspicious word.
“Grandma, we will definitely send your blessings to grandpa.” The eldest brother Roland waved his hand and stopped lingering.
After bidding farewell to Mrs. Ingrid, the team continued northward into the Red Bat Cave. After passing through the Red Bat Cave, they entered the ice and snow.
This time there was no overwhelming knights, only a small group of knights guarding four carriages.
Slowly move forward along the Great Wall of Ice and Snow.
The journey went smoothly to the first cold spring point. After a short rest, we continued to the second cold spring point. By the time it got dark, we had reached the third cold spring point. The traveling speed was much faster than the knights cleaning up the snow ghosts.
Camp at the cold spring point at night.
The servants were wrapped in thick clothes and busy making dinner.
Baron Roman accompanied Mrs. Meryl, who was wrapped in a fur coat, and quietly walked to the patio of the cold spring point to enjoy the night view on the snowy field.
Russell originally planned to take a rest, but Laura came over and said, “Father and mother are going to see the stars. Russell, can we go too?”
“Where’s eldest brother?”
“Roland went on patrol.”
“Okay, I’ll take you to see the stars.” Russell smiled and ruffled Laura’s hair, and messed up Laura’s finally combed hair again.
“Nasty Russell!”
“Do you still want me to accompany you to see the stars?”
“Humph…Russell, no, brother.” Laura learned to change her face. Before, she always called her brothers and sisters by their names, but now she learned to call her brother.
“Let’s go!” Russell pulled Laura and walked out of the cold spring point.
In fact, the night sky in the snowfield has no attraction for him at all. When cleaning the business road, he participated in the vigil and was tired of looking at the stars.
But at this moment, watching the stars with my sister is a different mood.
There are also sunny and cloudy days in the snowfield. On sunny days, although the wind and snow are still howling, the sun is bright. At night, the stars are also bright, and you can see the endless dense stars in the entire sky.
“The wind and snow in the snowfield are caused by the power of the snow demon from another world.” Russell explained softly, “In fact, the snowfield also has spring, summer, autumn and winter.”
“Spring, summer, autumn and winter?”
“Spring, summer, autumn and winter are the four seasons. In the ancient times, when the Snow Demon did not invade our Longmian Continent, the four seasons would change…”
Most of the history of Longmian Continent has been buried under thick ice and snow. The invasion of the Snow Demon caused a natural disaster that destroyed the world. Humanity has been surviving in the natural disaster for thousands of years, and almost all the splendid civilization has been lost.
It wasn’t until the dragons awakened that humans rose again and created today’s civilization.
However, the opposing ecology of ice and fire is completely different from the changing seasons in ancient times, with warm seasons and ice ages coming alternately.
Basically, more than half of each year belongs to the warm season, which lasts for about six to ten months. Then there will be a shorter glacial period, which may last only two months or last for six months, which is not fixed.
Among them, the two hottest months of the warm season still retain the name “summer” in ancient times, and are called the hot summer season.
The other spring, autumn and winter have been lost in the long river of time. Only some words that continue to this day may still contain the color of spring, autumn and winter.
Children like Laura no longer understand the meaning of spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Even most ordinary farmers do not know the existence of spring, summer, autumn and winter. In their concept, there are only the alternation of ice age and warm season.
“Spring, summer, autumn and winter are formed by the power provided by the sun… But the power of the snow demon is too strong, and the sunlight cannot penetrate the snowfield, so there is the wind and snow that has been frozen for tens of thousands of years… only the giant dragon can tear it apart Breaking the ice of the Snow Demon.”
“So that’s it!” Laura understood, “But why did the Snow Demon invade Longmian Continent?”
“Well, I have to go back and ask the snow giant.”
“Snow giants may not know that. We humans have killed many snow giants, but we still don’t know where they come from.” Roland, the eldest brother, came over at some point and threw a warm piece to Russell and Laura each. Roasted sweet potatoes.
“Hurry up and eat it while it’s hot…I’m telling you, the Snow Giant is not enough to see.” Roland stopped patrolling.
He squatted next to the two of them, gnawing on roasted sweet potatoes, and said softly: “If you really want to know where the Snow Demon comes from, you have to capture the legendary Frost Giant!”
“Frost giant, what is that?” Laura opened her eyes wide.
Russell also pricked up his ears. There were very few records about frost giants. He had only seen them in some knight novels, but the descriptions were vague.
Roland said with a smile: “The frost giant is the true source of the snow demons. The entire Longmian Continent was frozen because of the hands of this frost giant. The frost that shook off its body turned into those snow demons, and the ice it spit out His saliva turned into a snow giant.”
“It sounds no different from what was described in knight novels.” Russell was a little disappointed with Roland’s story.
Roland shrugged his shoulders: “Not many people have even seen the Snow Giant… Only Lord Etrus in our Netherworld Valley has actually seen the Snow Giant… Well, to be precise, he has seen one of the Snow Giants. Only feet.”
That day, Ethras was fighting in the windy and snow-colored world. The Shadow Flame Dragon fought with the Snow Giant in the distance, and the shadow could not be seen clearly.
When Ethras saw clearly, a big foot dropped from the sky and shattered the earth, and then Ethras fainted.
If Earl Merlin hadn’t saved him when he led the remnants of the Knights in retreat, Utteras might have froze to death on the snowy field.
Russell tried to dig out more: “Brother, do you know anything else about the legend of the Frost Giant?”
Roland spread his hands: “No, that’s all I know. I’m not a scholar who studies the occult.”
“Tch, it’s boring.” Russell yawned, stood up and prepared to go back to the cold spring point, “Let’s go, Laura, go back to bed…”
