8. Era of Bitter Winter - Killing 2 Brothers for One Hammer [7/7]
In fact, Jotunheim is not the only one with the Frost Giant.
There are other giants living in this world, such as Storm Giant, Mountain Giant, etc.
But the Frost Giants are definitely the most powerful among these races. They are too strong and the oppressed other giants can only become vassals.
They usually avoid the range of Frost Giant's movements and hide among more hidden mountains.
But this world is too barren.
It cannot provide the frost giant with the establishment of a true feudal kingdom.
These powerful barbarians must follow the cold waves and migrate.
The cold wave that freezes all things will bring new evolution to the world, and after the cold wave, those creatures born in the severe cold will become food for the frost giants.
Therefore, these naturally powerful creatures have to wander in this world under the tribal system.
But they also have their own system.
Although there is no dynasty, the Frost Giants have a King of Frost Giants.
This king is usually held by the chief of the most powerful tribe.
For the barbaric lifestyle of the Frost Giant, the one who can become a chief must be the most powerful warrior in the tribe.
But because of the years of war with Asgard, giants who become the king of the Frost Giant generally do not live too long.
Odin and his ancestors often hunted down the King of Frost Giants, in order to encourage the Frost Giants to continue to maintain extensive contact with each other and prevent them from gathering together.
But there are always some guys who are lucky.
For example, Laufi...
The current king of giants.
Before Odin became king, it was already the king of Frost Giant. It commanded Frost Giant and Asgard to fight several times. Although he won less and lost more, Laufi was never killed.
In addition to its own strength, Rauffy also has something different from other Frost Giants.
The giant king's mind is surprisingly useful.
It's crafty.
Every time a war fails, it can use its evil wisdom to avoid Odin's pursuit.
It can be said that Laufi is definitely a big trouble for Odin.
Now, Odin fell into a weak sleep, but Laufei, who should have taken the opportunity to start a war, was extremely calm.
Because it also has trouble.
On an ice cliff in Jottonheim, in the ridge of the iceberg that has not melted for thousands of years, Laufi was sitting on his throne.
This King of Frost Giant is tall and powerful, and it is stronger than ordinary Frost Giant.
Its eyes are red and there are strange markings on its cheeks.
That is a blessing.
That means that Laufi can not only use brute force to fight, it can also manipulate some simple but powerful primitive spells with talent.
Before Laufi's throne, something was being placed on the ice table in the cold and gloomy air.
A box.
A square box made of ice cubes, like jade, with white light swaying in it.
There was a silver-gray metal inlay around the box, and as the light inside swayed, a light blue fluorescence would penetrate from the box.
In the blue light, you can clearly see the runes engraved on the surface of the box.
It was a talisman that was extremely similar to the magic pattern of the Frost Giant's body.
And on both sides of the box, there are two crystal clear handles.
In Laufi's palace, when the guards guarding the King of Frost Giant saw this thing, a light of fear and worship would appear in their eyes.
This is the artifact of the Frost Giant.
Just like the Divine Realm people in Asgard have divine objects such as the Eternal Gun and the Thor's Hammer. As frost giants who have been hostile to them for thousands of years and tens of thousands of years, they also have their own divine objects.
The box of winter.
It is said that this box contains power that is enough to freeze the stars, and the first Frost Giant was born because of this box.
This thing was originally the weapon of the King of Frost Giant.
Unfortunately, more than a thousand years ago, Luo Fei was defeated by Odin when he led the Frost Giant to invade the earth. In the melee, Luo Fei was stolen with a divine object.
But now, the artifact is back.
No one knows how Laufi stole the Winter Box from Odin's treasure house, but it is here, right in front of the Frost Giant King.
Laufei leaned against his throne of ice, tilted his body and supported his chin with his own hands.
It looked at the ice box in front of it, but there was not much joy in its dark red eyes.
In order to get this thing, it signed a contract with a cunning little doll in a very humiliating manner to ensure that the Frost Giant will not invade Asgard for the next 500 years.
This is unbearable weakness for Laufi.
Once the news is released, it will be immediately despised by all the frost giants in Jotunheim.
but...
It's worth it.
A cold light flashed in Laufei's red eyes.
In the past few months, the damn, mysterious, woman who claims to be the goddess Scarti has disrupted its kingdom.
Most of the Frost Giant tribes have expressed their surrender to the Frost Temple.
Most importantly, the mistress of the Frost Temple was not interested in Laufi...
From her appearance to the present, Laufei can only passively wait for her summons. The damn woman in black treated Laufei with no difference from other people, Frost Giant.
In the face of the rapidly rising theocracy, Laufei's royal power is already in danger.
If Laufi didn't do anything, it would soon have no subjects to rule and no army to command.
"Don't you claim to be a God?"
"I'm going to see how the arrogant man can resist this great power from the original universe."
The King of Frost Giant let out a low and gloomy laughter, and it reached out to pick up the ice box, and it said:
"The artifact of origin will tell everything, and the veil of the false god will be taken off today..."
"Jortonheim, there can only be one king!"
"His Majesty Raffi!"
A thinner frost giant rushed into Laufei's palace, and he said to Laufei in a panic:
“Outside…coming outside…”
"What a panic!"
Lauphy stood up from the throne, and it scolded:
“What’s out there?”
"Bang"
The palace gate at the ice ridge was pushed open unstoppable the next moment.
In the colder storm, a frost giant wizard with red magic patterns strode into the palace in a battle dress embellished with white bones and holding a cane derived from ice.
A holy emblem made of metal and ice hung around its neck, which represents its identity.
It is the believer of the Dead Lady, the Ice Goddess Scarty.
It comes on behalf of the goddess.
"Lawfi!"
The wizard shouted without any respect:
"The goddess calls you! Come with me, He is waiting for your audience."
"Ho?"
Laufi tasted the word.
These stupid fools who are not easy to use...
I really regarded that fake as the real Scarti goddess...
Maybe the goddess really exists...
But it will never appear in the form of a woman on earth!
This is just a bad plot.
Laufei touched the ice box in his arms, but it was not angry.
On the contrary, it said with a smile:
"Of course, it is a great honor for the goddess to call me. I will go to see her with humility... He, please wait, wizard, I will bring some sincere believers with you..."
"Yeah, not bad."
With Laufi's humility, the Frost Giant Wizard who came on behalf of Goddess Scarty was very satisfied.
It waved and said:
"The cold winter era is coming, Luo Fei, my brother, I am very happy to see that you have also been worshipped in Scarty's glory of destruction..."
"Follow me, brother, the goddess will bless the most powerful warrior among us."
"Under His glory, the hypocritical divine realm will eventually collapse, and nothing can restrain the rise of the Frost Giant."
"Yes, the Frost Giant will rise..."
While engaging in the fanatical goddess believer, Lawfei summoned his most loyal guardians.
A few minutes later, the fully armed army of attendance took a chariot led by the frost beasts and drove towards the Frost Temple in the sky with wind and snow.
The frost beasts produced in this world are huge in size, like an ankylosaurus, covered with thick scales, and long teeth like seals. They run with four feet and gallop on ice and snow.
The Frost Giant Wizard raised his hand from time to time to create smoother ice cubes, making the chariot move faster.
Nearly 30 minutes later, the King of Frost Giant came to the Temple of Frost.
The frost palace built along the mountain seemed to grow out of the ice.
It emits the cold light from the hazy sky, making the building look extremely gorgeous and solemn.
Some of the more magnificent frost giant warriors stood on both sides of the temple, holding huge weapons and disrespectful to Rauffy.
This is the warrior awakened by Goddess Scarti from the ice...
This is also why the Frost Giant Wizards follow the goddess so wholeheartedly.
Created out of thin air.
This is a great power that only gods possess.
Lauphy looked at the powerful warriors with a greed, and he needed this way to awaken the Frost Giant.
If it could master such power, then it would have a constant stream of soldiers, and the contribution of Asgard would no longer be a fantasy.
Under the guidance of the wizards, Lauphy brought the guards into the temple.
At the end of the ice-like earth like a mirror, right in front of the magnificent icicles, in front of a shaped statue, the lady who was avenged in a black long skirt was standing there.
Goddess Scarty looked at Laufi calmly, and she watched the arrogant frost giant strode to her.
"The Ice Box has returned, and Jodonheim will remember your contribution, King Laufei."
Scarty whispered:
"Give me the holy things, I will shape a great army for you and help you capture Asgard."
"Yes, Jortonheim will surely rise."
Lauphy took out the box of winter from his arms, and raised his head and looked at Scarty in front of him with a rude ruthless look.
It says:
"I'll give it to you...you pseudo-god!"
The next moment, amid the angry roars of other wizards, Lawfei laughed wildly and grabbed the handle of the Winter Box with both hands.
Under its manipulation, frost that originated from the original seal of the universe erupted from the surface of the cold winter box.
The terrifying cold air made the Cold Temple sway at this moment.
The goddess' followers wanted to stop Laufei's arrogant actions.
However, in the explosion of the great power of the box of winter, even the frost giant was not afraid to approach the power of the original cold ice.
Even the giants born in the frost and the frozen descendants cannot face the power of creation.
The soldiers following Luo Fei drew out their weapons and forced the wizards to retreat. In the shining white light of frost, Luo Fei's roar was like thunder.
"Jortonheim will surely rise!"
In the wanton frost storm, Laufi roared:
"But it can only be led by me..."
"Fake God! Go and die!"
When Laufei saw the lady in black being frozen by endless frost, he laughed and raised the box of winter in his hand. As long as he held this ancient artifact, he would not be afraid to fight anyone.
Even Odin!
"well..."
A faint sigh rose in the temple, resounding so clearly in the ears of every frost giant.
Laufei turned around in surprise.
Behind him, Scarti was still frozen in the white ice.
"Click"
A slight sound was like some kind of crystal being torn apart.
Everyone looked back and saw that the ice surface of the magnificent Frost Temple scattered like glass, and the cracked traces spread like spider webs. Some kind of terrifying creature seemed to be awakened.
"Bang"
A black crampon broke through the earth and buckled on the torn ice surface.
As the earth shook and the roar of the storm of the storm of the wind and snow, a giant raised his head from under the torn temple.
dragon!
Bone dragon shaped entirely from black ice.
Just by raising your head, it is the size of a palace.
In the hideous skull, a dark blue light shone, and it roared angrily, and the roar spread throughout Jodonheim.
"No!"
Laufi raised the box of winter and tried to freeze the terrifying creature that had crawled out of the earth.
But the divine objects in its hands seemed to no longer obey its orders.
It could only watch the terrifying bone dragon spread its sharp teeth and chew it at it.
"Bang"
The box of winter drew a trajectory in the air and fell at the feet of the goddess Scarti.
The lady in black who was walking out of the ice hooked her fingers, and the heavy divine object jumped into her hands like life.
Between the glittering fluctuations of the cold light.
The Winter Box was shaped into a queen's scepter, and was eventually held in Scarty's hand.
"Bang"
The most fanatical Frost Giant Wizard fell to the ground, shouting Scarty's name frantically.
One after another, believers kneeled on the ground.
They once again witnessed the great power of the gods, and the transformation of the sacred object, the frost giant, that has been passed down for thousands of years, seems to have once again justified the name of this Scarti goddess.
Finally, even the guards who were devoted to Lawfei were kneeling on the ice in fear.
Scarty ignored them.
She walked down from the Holy See, barefoot and stepped on the ice.
In the storm of the snow in Jotunheim, the lady who accused the dead, holding the scepter of the winter, stood in front of the black bone dragon that devoured Lauphy.
The terrifying monster, like a devouring heaven and earth, lowered his head as despised as a pet, and let Scarty's fingers touch its skull.
"Let my warriors sound the horn of eternal sleep and sharpen their swords and guns."
Scarti's cold voice echoed in the silent temple:
"When the next cold wave comes..."
"It is the day when the fire in the divine realm is extinguished!"
"Praise the cold winter era..."
“It’s coming…”
