The patriarch knew that he was in the wrong and did not contradict Solandel's rebuke. He lowered his head and said quietly: "Your Highness, I know that you have resentment towards us, and it is normal to hold grudges against us. That incident not long ago

The invasion has caused huge damage to the kingdom, and we admit that we are sorry for you, but that was not our original intention!"

"We have lived in the Arctic ice sheet for generations and are already familiar with the environment there. There are caves, snow forests, and many places in the mountains where we can settle down. It is not like sleeping in the open air."

"We have snowshoe hares, elk, and yaks around us, and there is no shortage of cold-resistant vegetables and fruits. The vast majority of people have not coveted the inland and have long regarded the ice fields as their home. From the bottom of their hearts,

I want to live there for generations to come.”

"This invasion was not initiated by everyone at all. It was the man named Jupiter and his tribe of saber-toothed tigers who waved their butcher knives at us, using killing and blood to force everyone to be loyal to them. Anyone who dared to disobey was dead.

We have no choice but to surrender to him!"

"Jupiter conquered various tribes by force and tied everyone to his chariot. We have no choice at all! The invasion was not our intention, we were all forced! If we had a choice, how could we

Do you have to leave your homeland where you have lived for generations and go south?"

For a moment, Solandel was silent. If it was true, as the patriarch said, that the civilians who were coerced were indeed innocent, the guilty ones should be the invaders who took up arms, not the unarmed people now.

So what should we do now? Should we let these coerced innocent people in? Or should we let them in?

Solandel hesitated a little and couldn't make up her mind, so she subconsciously looked at Perseus beside her.

Perseus just listened silently and did not respond to Solandel's gaze at all. The meaning of this action was also obvious: you make the decision, don't ask me.

Solandel was in a dilemma, and finally decided not to reply so quickly, but to gather more information before speaking, so she changed the topic: "I have a question, how did Jupiter conquer other tribes? In my impression,

The saber-toothed tiger tribe is not the most powerful force in the Far North Icefield, but their sudden rise this year to dominate the north is very unusual."

"And during the previous battles, I observed that the bodies of the saber-toothed tiger warriors were very strange. They are not afraid of being struck by knives or axes. After being injured, their wounds heal quickly and are extremely difficult to kill. What do you know about this?"

The patriarch seemed to have thought of something extremely terrible, and his face turned pale: "I was just about to tell you about this, Your Highness, that kind of mutation is not from some practice or technique, but from something injected into their bodies.

"

Solandel was puzzled: "Injection? If I understand correctly, you mean to use a syringe to inject something into the body, and the body will gain that kind of mutated power?"

The clan leader said in a trembling voice: "Yes, that's what it means. As you said, the Saber-toothed Tiger tribe was not powerful at first. It was not even ranked in the top ten among the major tribes in the far north ice field, and Jupiter was just a nameless one.

People of the Scripture.”

"But I don't know since that day, the warriors of the saber-toothed tiger tribe have undergone changes and become invincible in the war. They are faster than snow wolves and stronger than tigers. They can easily kill our warriors, but we

It cannot pose a life threat to them, and the damage caused by weapons is useless."

"Jupiter led his warriors to continuously conquer other tribes, annexed, expanded, massacred anyone who was unwilling to surrender to him, and proclaimed himself Lord of the Northern Territory. Finally, he led his troops to invade."

Solandel pursed her lips and whispered to Lan Xian, a former alchemist: "Lord Lan Xian, is this method of gaining strength through injection theoretically possible?"

Lan Xian nodded without thinking: "Of course, it's not just injection. As long as it can be integrated into the body and absorbed, you can also gain power by taking it orally. This is the case with the magic potion of our Heqi family."

"It's just that our family has been researching potions for so many years. From what is recorded in the books, what we have explored on our own, and what happened accidentally, no matter what the source is, there is no potion that can achieve the effect of rapid flesh and blood growth, and being not afraid of swords and guns. I don't understand. Jupiter Injection

Where did you get that stuff?"

When he talked about this, the patriarch's face became even paler. As if recalling a terrible nightmare, his voice trembled so much that it was almost deformed: "As for the origin of all that, I have witnessed that scene. You may think that I am a crazy person talking, but I

I swear on my life, it’s all true.”

"That place is an ancient temple located on the ice field. There is a damn thing in the temple. I don't know if I can call it a 'creature'. It is entrenched on the stone wall deep in the ancient temple, and its body forms an open...

The net looks like a mixture of flesh and organs, dozens of meters high."

"That thing has no head and no discernible limbs. It has no fixed shape and can be extended at will. There are some sticky tissues on the edges of the body that are constantly undulating. It's like a huge piece of meat breathing in front of you. I swear.

, that is more terrifying and evil than any creature I have ever seen.”

"And what was injected into the bodies of those tribal warriors was the blood extracted from that creature. The blood was thick and black, and exuded a strange smell."

Lan Xian frowned when he heard this, and raised his hand to interrupt the clan leader: "If I understand correctly, you are saying that by extracting the blood of that creature and injecting it into the body, you can obtain the power of rapid flesh and blood growth?"

The patriarch replied without hesitation: "Yes, sir, but not everyone can succeed. Many people who were injected with that kind of blood died on the spot. Only strong warriors can withstand the test."

A mysterious light flashed in Lan Xian's eyes for some reason. He shook his head and said in a deep voice to Solandel: "Your Highness, in my opinion, this is pure nonsense."

"Anyone who has read a little bit knows that blood has very special coagulation properties. If some blood of different blood types is mixed together, it will coagulate, causing the death of the body."

"The blood compatibility between people is like this. The consequences of mixing the blood of non-similar creatures can be imagined, let alone the so-called creatures that I don't know how to describe. This person is obviously maliciously misleading.

He is probably using this to hide something."

The patriarch's face turned pale with fright. He knelt and moved forward several steps, clasping his hands in front of his chest. His voice was filled with tears when he spoke to Solandel: "Your Highness! I swear I'm not lying! Please, please."
