The cold wind and extremely bad weather have reduced the number of flying creatures and made the sky safer than the ground. Tianlai Novel.|2
Two thousand miles is not that far. Wu Ming flew with Yayin, even with a drag, two hours was enough.
Two hours later, the royal court of the Frost Giants was in sight, and many majestic buildings came into view. The first impression given was that they were tall.
If the architectural style of the dwarves is compact, the buildings of the Frost Giants are huge. It seems that bigger is better, and size is equated with strength.
At a glance, the entire royal court is like a pyramid, with the smallest buildings on the periphery, gradually getting taller inward, until the central spire reaches the sky, outlining a distribution map of power.
"Where is the person doing the transaction? Do you need us to go in?" Wu Ming turned around slightly and asked Gilina.
Gilina hesitated for a moment, pointed to the back of the royal court, and said: "There is a glacier over there. My father told me that as long as three bonfires are lit in the center of the glacier, the person I am trading with will appear."
Wu Ming frowned slightly. It was both a bonfire and a glacier. Why did he look like a spy?
It seems that not only is this transaction shady, but the person doing the transaction may also have problems. Ordinary people don't need to be so cautious.
"What are you bringing?" Wu Ming subconsciously looked at Gilina and found that she was not bringing anything, but the bracelet on her hand looked very extraordinary, with faint spatial fluctuations.
Space bracelets are very common in Marvel, and both magic and black technology have been involved in this field. If he guessed correctly, the item being traded was in Gilina's bracelet, and he didn't know what it was.
"We can't talk about this, the seller doesn't allow us to disclose it." Gilina did not give an explanation, but smiled and shook her head.
The more this happened, the more curious Wu Ming became. These secretive things undoubtedly told him that the origin of this thing was unusual.
It was made by the first blacksmith of the dwarves, escorted by the blacksmith's daughter personally, and the transaction place was the Ice Field. Needless to say, this buyer must be an ice giant, and he can invite the first blacksmith of the dwarves. This ice giant's
Status is not simple either. In the royal court, one has to be either noble or wealthy.
These conditions were mixed together, and Wu Ming couldn't help but maliciously thought that the Ice Giant had crafted the God-Slaying Sword and was preparing to go to the Golden Palace to assassinate Odin.
"Stop thinking about it, you will never guess it." Gilina patted the bracelet and said: "Let's hurry up. My father told me that this trip may not be smooth, so it's better to finish it early and go back early.
"
After hearing the sound, Wu Ming narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded calmly.
Before coming, Gunther didn't tell him anything. He only asked him to protect his daughter and deliver the things safely.
Gilina said that the trip might not be peaceful, and it was Gunter himself who told him, so this is by no means as simple as saying. I just don’t know what is being transported this time. I heard that the Frost Giants are quite united. Could it be that just now?
The things Walter sent over could also cause internal strife among the Frost Giants.
"When encountering an unexpected situation, remember to stand by my side." Wu Ming didn't ask any questions that shouldn't be asked. Wu Ming simply confessed and took Gilina into the air.
Because he was aware of it, Wu Ming did not make a big fanfare this time, but used phantom transfer to act quietly.
It's a pity that the three bonfires were used as signals. Who knew who the idiot was who came up with the idea. Only after lighting the bonfires did Wu Ming realize how big this target was.
Thick smoke is like a pillar, and the finished glyph rises into the sky. The contrast between the black smoke and the white snow is sharp.
The Royal Court is less than a hundred miles away from the glacier canyon. Ordinary people may not be able to see the problem, but strong people only need to pay a little attention. It is not difficult to see the thick smoke rising here.
There is a bonfire, there are treasures, everything is ready, all we need is the east wind.
Wu Ming stood on the hillside with his hands behind his back, ready to fight the ice giant. He just secretly wondered how many people would be attracted.
Ten minutes, twenty minutes, an hour...
The cold wind was still howling, but the imaginary siege did not come, and the surroundings were deceptively quiet.
Wu Ming, who had been on the hillside, also had the feeling of seeing a ghost in his heart. Could it be that these ice giants were blind and couldn't even see such a big smoke column, so they just pretended that nothing happened.
"Yeah, I remembered, the ice giants are color blind. They live in the ice and snow all year round, and their eyes have lost the ability to distinguish colors. They can only see black and white. The difference is only the difference in depth." Suddenly, Gilina
He shouted loudly to explain this abnormal phenomenon.
There is no color in the eyes of color blindness, and everything is seen in black and white.
It's not that the Frost Giants didn't notice it, it's just that in their eyes, the black smoke was at most darker than the surrounding colors, not as distinct as human colors.
After hearing this explanation, Wu Ming finally understood why the mission took so long.
I want to use a bonfire as a signal to attract a group of color-blind people to come and join in. The person who proposed this idea really has a great idea. It would be a shame not to learn how to cook.
"What should we do, just wait like this?" Wu Ming's face didn't look good, and he didn't think waiting was a good idea.
Gilina didn't think so. She looked up at the royal court in the distance and said softly: "What are you doing in such a hurry? No one will die if you wait."
Others will not die if they wait. If Wu Ming waits too long and Thanos comes to kill him, the undead people will be ghosts.
It's a pity that Gilina won't understand this explanation. She doesn't even know who Thanos is, so how can she be afraid? Any explanation would be a fool's errand.
After thinking about it, Wu Ming calmed down and endured it for the time being.
In the blink of an eye, three days have passed, and the contact person still hasn't come.
There is no pressure for Gilina to be at ease. She just stays in the tent and reads books when she has nothing to do. There is always something to relieve her boredom in her space bracelet.
In comparison, Wu Ming was in a worse situation. He was nominally Gilina's bodyguard, so leaving her behind would definitely not work. During the three days, Wu Ming waited like Meng Jiangnu, looking directly in the direction of the royal court.
They all have the intention of turning into Wangchuan Stone, but there is still no sign of the buyer.
"Here we come!" On the fifth day, Wu Ming suddenly saw a group of people riding snow wolves, slowly approaching from a distance.
Frost giants are huge, they seem to be at least three meters tall, and a few of them are even closer to four meters tall.
A squad of a hundred people came from afar, wearing a bone necklace around one man's neck, and roared something as they walked.
"Is he this person?" Wu Ming took out a telescope, handed it to the dwarf girl who didn't know the eagle eye technique, and pointed at the group of people and asked.
Gilina shook her head simply, with a pensive look on her face.
Wu Ming was filled with disappointment when he heard that it was not these people, until Gilina spoke again.
"I don't know. My father just told me how to contact these people and didn't say much else at all." When Gilina said this, Wu Ming was also dubious.
This not only made Wu Ming wonder, could it be that Gunter had already figured out that the first person to come to the door would be the buyer, so he was not afraid of giving things to the wrong person at all.
With doubts, Wu Ming looked far away and looked at the giant wolf knights running towards him.
A few minutes later, the giant wolf carried the frost giant, slowly growing from small black dots until they were within a kilometer of each other.
"Stop!" The Frost Giant Knight, who was a thousand meters away, raised his right hand high.
The hundred-man squad was ordered and prohibited, and even the giant wolf under its crotch obeyed the instructions and stopped uniformly.
"Where are the things?" The knight rode straight in alone. Under the gaze of countless wolf cavalry, he came galloping with a spear in hand.
Gilina glanced at this person, and since she couldn't identify the buyer, she had to say: "The thing is in my hand, how can I prove that it is yours?"
"This is the proof..." The Wolf Knight fumbled for a moment from his arms and threw out an iron plate.
The iron plate is engraved with a cross pattern of hammers and tongs, and there is an image of a stove behind it.
Gilina took the iron plate and inspected it for a moment. She recognized it as something belonging to her father and whispered: "This is the token forged by my father. It should be unmistakable."
Tokens were status symbols in ancient times. If outsiders did not know how to identify them, they would naturally not be able to forge them.
Wu Ming glanced at the token and didn't say anything more, just nodded insignificantly.
On the side, Gilina checked the authenticity and did not mean to be pretentious, and soon started the transaction with the other party.
The object being traded was a box with many raised patterns on the outside, which looked like some kind of mechanism at first glance.
The Snow Wolf Knight drove the giant wolf to the box, stretched out his hand and clicked on the pattern a few times, followed by a clicking sound.
Click, click, click...
The patterns on the box spread layer by layer, and the box slowly opened in front of the three people.
When you first see it, there is a blue treasure box inside, with the surface flowing like water waves.
Wu Ming's magic skills are very high. When he first saw this treasure box, he had the illusion that his soul was frozen, and he couldn't help but shudder.
"Ice treasure box?" Gilina exclaimed, her face full of disbelief, and she said in surprise: "Isn't the real ice treasure box in the hands of God King Odin? Why is there also one here? No, this is a replica
, Oh my god, my father made a copy of their most precious ice box for the ice giant clan?"
Odin once led an army to break through the ice giant's royal court and signed a city alliance with it.
That time, the Ice Treasure Box was taken away by Odin. Since then, the strength of the Ice Giant family has been severely damaged, and the potential of the offspring they gave birth to has gradually declined.
For the ice giants, the role of the ice treasure box is very important. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the foundation of the frost giants.
With this treasure, the ice giants can absorb the cold air from the treasure box, purify their own ice power, and create more strong men.
Therefore, what Odin took away was not the ice treasure box, but the future of the ice giant family. His intentions were deep and ruthless.
"You are the master's daughter, right?" Without waiting for a few more glances, the Snow Wolf Knight closed the box and said, "I am Michelle, the second prince of the ice giant clan. You and your father,
Won my friendship, the friendship of the future Ice King."
The snow wolf knight named Michelle is obviously also an ambitious person.
Wu Ming remembered that among the Frost Giants, excluding Loki, who was taken away by Odin, there were a total of three princes.
The second prince was not the first in line of succession, but he directly ignored the elder brother above him and spoke of the future Frost King. It was easy to tell what he was thinking in his heart.
"Is Nine Dragons seizing the direct descendant?" Wu Ming suddenly thought of a question, that is, the leader of the current Frost Giant clan has died in the Golden Palace.
In the movie Thor 1, in order to prove himself, Loki deceived the Frost Giant King into the Golden Palace and killed him off guard.
Calculating it this way, the Ice Giant clan has not had its own king for half a year, and the three princes are eyeing that position.
As the heir, the eldest prince is the oldest and the strongest. He is beating the two younger brothers wildly.
Thinking of the counterfeit ice treasure box that appeared here and the struggle between these three princes, Wu Ming instantly thought that the ice giant clan was going to be in chaos.
"The Ice Giant is the great enemy of the Asa Protoss, and Master Gunter has a good relationship with Odin. I'm afraid without Odin getting involved, this imitation ice treasure box wouldn't have appeared anyway, right?" Wu Ming
It's a little shuddering, this Odin is really scary.
The Ice Box is the future of the Ice Giant. If anyone can ascend the throne, it will definitely be the owner of the Ice Box.
Even if this treasure box is a counterfeit and may not have one-tenth of the functionality of the original, it is still something that cannot be missed by the ice giant.
Using a fake treasure box to change the ownership of the throne, allowing the second prince to compete with the eldest prince, and destabilizing the Frost Giant clan to a greater extent, Odin's idea was to at least kill two birds with one stone.
Weaken the strength of the ice giant, kill the more powerful eldest prince, and let the relatively weaker second prince take over.
If Odin is more cruel and does some tricks on this counterfeit to set a time limit, it will really drain the bottom of the pot.
Needless to say, as long as this treasure box is used for three to five years, the cold air inside will be insufficient, and the Ice Giants will return to before liberation and continue to be flattened and rounded by the Asa Protoss.
Odin killed three soldiers with one peach, and he was really a master at the game. No wonder he could control the divine realm for tens of thousands of years.
"I can't stay too long when I come out this time. Thank you Master for me. He will always be welcome here." Nichelle came out with only Baiqi. Obviously she didn't want to draw attention to herself, and she soon planned to leave.
Gilina didn't know what to say, so she just smiled and nodded, glancing at the box on the ground from time to time.
When she came out this time, Gilina herself was very confused and didn't know what she was carrying.
If she knew that this was a replica of the Ice Treasure Box, she felt that she would have to persuade her father. It would be troublesome to give this thing to the Ice Giant.
It's a pity that things have reached this point, which is equivalent to a done deal, and it is impossible to change.
Gilina sighed in her heart, and then thought of her father's warning before leaving, telling herself that this trip was full of dangers.
"There are a lot of dangers. It shouldn't be a big deal, right? It's very safe?" As soon as this thought came to Gilina's mind, there was a strange sound in her ears.
"Tap tap tap..."
"Dong dong dong..."
The footsteps were like thunder, the war drums were like fire, and the mighty sound came faintly from a distance.
