It was exactly what Lin Luo thought.
Trundle won't let them pass easily.
And there are many solutions to this level, and different people have different methods.
Lin Luo and Silas looked at each other, and the latter said loudly to Trundle:
"Then what do you want? The eternal frost of the Ice and Snow Festival will come to Freljord, and large-scale battles will definitely cause casualties. Do you really want to start a war at this time?"
Although it is only in the southern part of the Freljord, the wind and snow are not as heavy as in the central or even northern areas, but humans must be in awe in the face of the cruelty of nature. Exhausting physical strength will reduce the hope of survival. Even Silas does not want to fight rashly.
.
"Hoho! It's exactly what I want! You should want to go to the Rakstaq Sanctuary? Am I right?"
Trundle's eyes turned around like a cunning jackal, and then he looked at Lin Luo.
"I have recently let three human tribes go there. I heard that War Mother Avarosa issued a summons on the Ice-free Peak this year. It seems that there is something big to do. You should be heading there for this, right?
"
These words made Lin Luo and Anton Daxia stunned.
They didn't expect this to happen at all, but they quickly realized that this was obviously a clue to the mission, not only related to the clues to survive the troll tribe, but also related to the clues to the Rakstak Sanctuary.
Lin Luo said calmly:
"Yes, that's why we are going to the Rakstark Sanctuary."
In fact, he didn't know what the reason was, but lying to the characters in the plot was a basic operation, and it was easy to get the words out.
"By the way, were the three human tribes that passed by before the adventurer tribes?"
Hero Anton suddenly asked, he was more concerned about this.
Troll King Trundle raised his sharp index finger and waved:
"No, no, no, they are all old tribes in the southern Freljord. They are the Blackstone Tribe, the Red Ear Claw Tribe and the Green Eagle Tribe. These are the most powerful human tribes in the southern Freljord. They
To unite and cross my territory, I did not make things difficult for them, I only gave them a condition, and this condition is also a condition you must accept."
Trundle looked very unruly, waving the Perfect Ice Stick and pointing his nostrils to the sky:
"If you don't agree, I won't let you pass my test, or I'll just start a fight. I have nothing to be afraid of."
After hearing what he said, Lin Luo glanced at Ge An.
The latter nodded and whispered:
"It's right. The Blackstone Tribe, the Red Ear Claw Tribe and the Green Eagle Tribe are the strongest human tribes here. They seem to have received an edict from the Avarosa War Mother. There must be big events in this year's Ice and Snow Festival.
occur!"
Lin Luo frowned slightly and said:
“Didn’t this happen at previous ice and snow festivals?”
Ge An shook his head and said:
"It happened a long time ago, but it was too far away for us, and it was not recorded in ancient history."
Silas asked:
"Gian, can you predict it using the shaman's natural magic?"
Ge'an was stunned for a moment, then he spread his hands and said:
"How is it possible? How could I have such ability? I'm just a young priest!"
Everyone looked at each other, a little disappointed.
But Ge'an suddenly whispered:
"However, if I have a paintbrush made from the backbone of the Dream Eater... maybe I can try it..."
After he finished speaking, a mission activation sound suddenly sounded in Lin Luo's ears.
[Tip: You have triggered the special favorability hidden mission of the young shaman-painter Ge'an: Eat Dreams, Not Dreams]
[Task description: The young shaman has a wish that has never been revealed. What is he pursuing in his heart after living in misunderstanding and ridicule since he was a child? In the difficult living conditions of Freljord, what supports him to put down his weapons and raise
Paintbrush, what kind of story does this seemingly shy person have in his heart?】
[Task requirement: Please help painter Ge'an to obtain the Dream Eater brush. 】
[Task reward: His favorability towards you will be increased to: respect. And he will talk to you about things that he has never mentioned to anyone.]
[Evaluation: A young life is chasing everything in his dream in a world of ice and snow.]
"Huh? Special hidden mission?"
Lin Luo was a little surprised, and then felt happy!
Through his various previous experiences, he saw early on that Ge An had great potential. He was a person with his own independent story.
He will definitely become a crucial part of this big event.
For this kind of character, improving his favorability is the first operation.
"Don't worry, Ge'an, I will help you."
Lin Luo patted Ge An on the shoulder and said very seriously:
"I will help you get the Dream Eater Brush. I think we should be good friends."
Ge'an nodded excitedly, with some blushing on his delicate face:
"Thank you, I will tell you a very important secret then!"
At this time Trundle's shout rang out:
"What are you muttering about? Can you agree to my conditions? Or do you want to go to war?"
Lin Luo glanced at it and knew that there was no third way to solve it, and the war would not end well.
"What are your conditions?"
Lin Luo stared at Trundle and found that the other party showed a very satisfied smile.
"It's actually very simple. Just like the three major tribes that passed here before, you must provide enough food. We can let you pass through the tribe, and if you meet the last ice demon, we will also help you. How about it?"
Yes, Trundle was talking about food.
If the common currency of Demacia was gold coins before, and the common currency of Zaun was ancient silver coins, then the wild land of Freljord would be more pure.
The common currency here is:
food!
In the endless ice fields.
Food is everything and food can be exchanged for anything.
And when dealing with plot characters in the Freljord region, good enough food can increase some favorability, which is also very important.
Lin Luo now finally understood the key items in this area.
And he quickly thought that this food was by no means as simple as ordinary food, it must also be of high quality.
Different foods definitely have different effects.
"Okay, there is a lot of food in our tribe."
Lin Luo looked at Hero Anton. Many of the foods in the players' backpacks were exploded by local monsters. They were consumables for the players and food for these local NPCs. They were both common.
Unexpectedly, Trundle said in a disdainful tone:
"What we want is not ordinary food. That kind of food cannot survive the cold winter. What we want is...food like this!!"
He pointed to the side with his Zhenbing stick, and Lin Luo saw an indescribably huge ice insect lying there.
This giant ice worm is like a doomsday monster from a science fiction movie. It has a worm-like body and is covered with dense ice spines. On its head is a round mouth that occupies the entire face and is full of fangs.
, the teeth are sharp, and the deeper place is an unknown darkness.
Such a monster is extremely visually oppressive just by looking at it, lying there like a hill.
The quality of its meat is unclear, but it must be very important as food.
"Those are giant ice worms, the most difficult monsters in the southern Freljord. They live under the frozen land. They are huge omnivorous creatures. They have strong armor and venom that can corrode everything. Their huge size causes Their physical strength is extremely powerful, and only legendary figures can defeat them."
Ge'an was indeed a qualified priest, and he began to paint on the drawing board.
Lin Luo and others saw another vivid ice giant insect appear. From the glaciers and snow peaks around it, it could be seen that it was an ice giant insect about one hundred meters long.
It violently broke through the ice field and walked through the land easily. Wherever it passed, the ground cracked with plow marks, making the earth look shocking.
Finally it burrowed deep into the ground, disappeared, and went to a place no one knows about.
"How about it? The severe cold of the Ice and Snow Festival is coming soon. As long as you help me hunt down an adult giant ice insect, it won't be a problem for you to pass by me in the future. I can even help you deal with the ice devils on the road!"
Trundle walked over, shaking his head, holding a big stick, circling around Lin Luo, as if he was constantly sizing him up.
"……etc!"
Trundle suddenly noticed something and looked shocked.
He rubbed his eyes, then sniffed and looked at Lin Luo with a surprised look:
"Human, you have a very familiar smell... Do you also have ice blood, but where is your ultimate ice weapon?"
This guy suddenly said something unprecedented, and Lin Luo instantly looked at it with vigilance.
In fact, he does have an ancient Iceborn arrow, which was a prop obtained a long time ago. Unexpectedly, Trundle could also detect it. Maybe there is some kind of connection between the ice bloodlines that can sense each other?
Lin Luo shook his head and didn't think about it, because he had already received a commission from Trundle.
[Tip: You have come to the Troll Kingdom tribe, and the cruel Ice and Snow Festival is coming. You and your tribe army have brought a sense of crisis to Trundle. It does not want to go to war with you, but the cunning nature of the troll is destined to be impossible to let go. It passed every guy who could make a fortune, so it issued the following tasks.】
[Task description: Trundle promises your tribe’s army to pass through here, but you must hunt an ‘adult ice giant insect’ and bring the body to the Troll Kingdom tribe to become their food for the winter. 】
[Mission reward: After completing the mission, you will gain Trundle's favorability: normal. It will no longer be hostile to you, and you will not be blocked when passing here in the future.]
[Extra tip: Even if you complete the task, when you pass by the troll tribe alone in the future, you may still be attacked by the hungry trolls, so try not to walk alone unless you have absolute strength. 】
[Evaluation: You can never truly trust trolls.]
…
Lin Luo must accept this task.
Unless he wants to start a tribal war, Hero Anton will not agree to it.
The Troll Kingdom Tribe is the most difficult level in the southern Freljord. It is equivalent to the last boss level of a dungeon. After completing this level, you can cross the southern Freljord and go to the central Freljord.
The Rakstak Sanctuary is located in the middle of the middle of Freljord, and is the very center of the entire Freljord region.
After Lin Luo gets there, he has to find a way to change jobs.
This is his original purpose and the purpose that must be accomplished.
"Lin, let me help you! I can find the ice giant insect quickly!"
Ge'an is a very shy big boy. Perhaps Lin Luo took the initiative to talk to him a few times, which made him less estranged from Lin Luo.
He put up the drawing board as before, and the natural magic wave was brewing. He seemed to sense something, and slowly started to draw on the drawing board. It was an extremely fierce ice giant insect, with violent and violent savage power.
"I have... found its location."
Ge'an completed the painting, and then his vision gradually returned to clarity. Only he could understand the content of the painting, which meant that only he could find the location of the giant ice worm.
Silas and Gragas looked at each other.
This kid is indeed not simple, he is destined to be an extraordinary shaman.
…
A series of winding stone paths and climbing frames made of skeletons formed a dangerous path on the steep glacier. Lin Luo and the people of the Winter Solstice Alliance walked on this glacier path.
In the far distance, the glacier at the end of the canyon.
The blue ice crystal seemed to be roughly carved into the shape of the troll's head.
This is the depth of the tribe in the Troll Kingdom, and it is also the tribal totem that Trundle asked the trolls to create, using its own head as the totem.
"Continue going north, and I can find the giant ice worm."
Ge'an carried the drawing board on his back and walked on the winding ice and stone path.
Behind him were Lin Luo and all the Winter Solstice Alliance players. They had to pass through the dangerous terrain of the troll tribe, then kill the ice giant worm at the southern end of Freljord, and finally enter the middle of Freljord.
The sun was slowly setting over the edge of the canyon, which meant it was getting late.
It's sunset now, and it's getting closer to midnight.
If the giant iceworms cannot be killed before midnight and brought back to the troll tribe, then another day will be wasted. In fact, the time is not bad, mainly because of the fear of accidents, and the ice patrols cannot be provoked yet.
"Hey, kid, don't show off. It took me half a month to capture a giant ice insect. Don't tell me you can find it now?"
Trundle walked beside the crowd and stared at Gian with an expression of disbelief.
So far, it also doesn't think that Ge'an has real abilities. Like Silas before, it believes that shamans must be old and experienced people, so he is very skeptical of Ge'an's natural magic.
He even thought this guy was talking nonsense or pretending.
"I am a shaman and I never lie."
Ge'an held his hands behind his back and made a traditional shamanic gesture, indicating that he was a regular soldier.
"And you are not a shaman, you cannot feel the power of nature."
Ge An released his hands and said:
"I am helping you now, not only to help you solve the food problem during the Ice and Snow Festival, but also to help you solve the hidden danger problems of the tribe in the future."
Trundle is a smart troll, not as stupid as other trolls.
Hearing something in Ge'an's words, he suddenly frowned and revealed sharp fangs under his lips:
"What do you mean by this? Are there any hidden dangers in my tribe?"
Ge'an didn't speak, but walked deeper into the glacier.
Straight passages intertwined into a shiny network, extending continuously into the glacier. This is the power of nature, which has structured the world into something unimaginable by human imagination. Human creativity and imagination are compared with the power of nature.
It's simply not worth mentioning.
"Wait a minute, where are you going?"
Trundle suddenly showed a vigilant expression:
"Do you know what's ahead?"
Ge An nodded:
"I know, that is your palace."
Of course it's just called a palace, but it's essentially a lair, Trundle's troll lair, where he lives.
"I asked you to hunt ice giant insects, what the hell are you doing in my palace!!?"
Trundle roared angrily, raised the Perfect Ice Stick, and the air froze instantly, and a powerful forbidden magic force isolated the power of the Perfect Ice.
"Calm down and listen to what he has to say."
Silas wrapped his hands with magic-forbidden chains and firmly held Trundle's Perfect Ice Staff.
The rustling wind and snow began to shake from all sides, and the ice and stone path under their feet began to tremble. They were very likely to fall from mid-air, which would not be a good thing for both parties.
Trundle's rough face trembled, and he glared at Gian with grinning teeth:
"Boy, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation!"
Ge'an's face turned pale and he said:
"Because the ice giant worm you want... lives under your troll palace, but you don't know it at all!"
…
G'an's words stunned Trundle on the spot.
But he was not angry or surprised at first, but showed a kind of thoughtfulness and fear.
"What did you say? Are you sure it's true?"
The cunning and evil smile on Trundle's face disappeared, and he revealed a rare sense of fear.
The Ice Giant is the most terrifying monster in the southern Freljord.
They have terrible destructive power on the terrain. If it lives under its own palace, this is a very terrible thing.
Even Trundle's hair stood on end. He suddenly thought that one day he fell asleep in the palace, and then woke up to find that he had been chewed into pieces and lay in the acid-filled stomach of the giant ice worm.
Ge'an clasped his hands behind his back again, showing a traditional shaman gesture.
"It's up to you to believe it or not, but I'm a professional."
Trundle's expression changed, and he suddenly let out a loud and strange scream. A smooth and hard frost field suddenly appeared under its feet. This area was unimaginably large, with a diameter of more than ten kilometers.
[Tip: Troll King-Trundle activated the skill: Frozen Realm! 】
[Tip: You are in the frozen field of Trundle. You have gained its domain power. You have received the ice-perfecting buff of the frozen field. You have gained a 52% increase in movement speed. You
The attack speed has been increased by 11%, and your healing amount has been increased by 25%. This effect lasts until you leave the field.】
Trundle burst out with astonishing movement speed and ran forward wildly.
Ahead was its palace, and he chose to believe Ge'an's words. After all, he was an authentic shaman, and it would never allow a giant ice worm to live underground where it lived.
Lin Luo and others followed Trundle and quickly arrived at the palace of the Troll King.
In fact, this is just an extremely old cave, but this cave has been decorated very grandly, so it looks similar to a royal palace.
A falling sunset shines through the hole in the ceiling, reflecting dancing lights and ghostly shadows on the ice wall.
The trolls are a race that loves to eat.
This race's need for food is greater than anything else, even greater than the need for reproduction.
Lin Luo first asked the players of the Winter Solstice Alliance to wait outside the palace, and then they entered the palace cave and saw a shocking scene.
They saw that the palace cave was filled with all kinds of food, like a huge granary.
"Trolls view food just like humans view money... Just understand it this way."
Ge An explained quietly in Lin Luo's ear.
Lin Luo suddenly realized that the palace cave was filled with food, probably similar to a human palace filled with gold, silver and jewelry.
This undoubtedly highlights Trundle's status. Only the one with the most food deserves to be called the king of the troll tribe.
Not only that.
At this time, various kinds of food were brought over by some trolls and piled in the middle of the palace.
Among them were chunks of belly meat from giant sea beasts, ribs of woolly mammoths, slippery smelly fish, large wings of flightless birds on the tundra, and piles of wriggling body parts. Lin Luo was glad that she didn’t recognize them.
What part.
"You said there are ice giant insects under my palace? Are you sure you are not lying to me?"
Trundle stared at Gian doubtfully and asked again.
Ge An smiled and said:
"Yes, the whisper of nature told me everything. The ice giant insect also needs to hibernate, and before that it also needs to eat a lot. I think you should know what this means."
Trundle's expression changed, thinking that there was no problem at all.
The Trolls do not have shamans, because the race's inherent stupidity is destined to prevent them from communicating with the forces of nature. Trundle, who has the best brains, cannot learn the power of shamans, and it is even less likely that a human shaman will join the Trolls.
tribe, so they are very inexperienced in this area.
"You'd better not lie to me."
Trundle thought for a while, then let out a sharp whistle, and dozens of ugly adult trolls rushed in, of course to carry the food for the winter.
What if there really was a giant ice worm hidden beneath the palace?
Then a war is inevitable, and these poor foods must be evacuated in advance.
"Time is running out. We have to hurry up. The sun has set and midnight is not far away."
Lin Luo glanced at the setting sun that was completely setting in the west.
The golden setting sun gradually disappears, and the gloomy blue night is about to fall.
This is the transition between life and death in the Freljord.
Daytime means hunting, eating, movement and life.
Dark night means sleep, silence, terror and death.
Trundle looked ugly and said:
"I didn't expect that there was a giant ice insect lurking under the palace where I live. This is really a scary thing."
Although it has not been completely seen, it has been confirmed.
Because it felt that something seemed to be crawling uneasily under the palace ground, and was about to break out of the ground at some unnoticed period.
