Samuel, the Bone Priest, has imparted a lot of knowledge and experience to everyone and is a wise man worthy of respect.
But Chicard remembered this sentence and could never forget it.
For the ancestors of the White Bones, death was a rare and common thing.
In the early days of the Resurrection Kingdom, civilian mortality was high.
When farmers farm, they often encounter predatory wild animals, the most common being wild boars and bison.
They will suddenly rush into the fields to feast. If the farmer cannot dodge and escape, he will be knocked over by them and turn into a pile of broken bones when he lands. If he is unlucky, his skull will be crushed and he will die on the spot.
Herdsmen are most afraid of electric wolves and rock bears.
These two extraordinary monsters are not as easy to talk to as wild beasts. If the wild beasts that rush into fields and houses are looking for something to eat, which can be considered stealing and robbery at best, then the electric wolf and rock bear are killing people and stealing goods with purpose.
Once they attack, they will first kill all the surrounding herders, and then enjoy the various livestock in the pasture. Sometimes they do not do it for food, but just enjoy the process of hunting and killing.
The kingdom's military strength was not enough to ensure the safety of farmland and pastures, and the soldiers had great difficulty facing extraordinary monsters. This situation lasted for hundreds of years.
Until Yao God set his sights on this world.
With the arrival of the Prophet Cat Grass, the entire Resurrection Kingdom began to undergo a series of changes: increasing remuneration to encourage animal husbandry and planting, expanding and strengthening the army, and the king must also follow the election system.
Come over one after another for support...
Chicard witnessed the earth-shaking changes in the kingdom.
During his unexpected journey to death, Chicard felt the changes brought about by living for the first time.
The mage Andre told him about the outside world.
"I come from the fifth level of the abyss. There used to be constant wars there, but it is also a very magical place. There are many mage towers we built on the ground, there are centaur cavalry patrolling and running on the plains, and there are people practicing on foot in the forests and mountains.
Monks and vampires turn into bats and often fly by in the night..."
"You can go and take a look if you have a chance."
"You are an optimistic adventurer, Zicard. You will encounter a lot of troubles and dangers, but that is the path you will choose... Some people will choose the path that many people have traveled, those places are safe and flat,
But because it’s been stepped on everywhere, it’s hard to have any surprises.”
Andre smiled and patted Chicard's dry shoulder: "And you, my friend, you will take those less traveled paths. I know you will do that, if not now, then one day in the future.
A choice.”
Soon after, the hero Siddal accomplished an almost impossible feat.
It proves with its actions on the battlefield that the skeletal ancestors can also become feared and revered giants, and that the thin skeleton body does not only represent humbleness and cannon fodder.
everything is possible.
During the same period of time, Chicard also applied to become a reporter for the "Shachengdi Newspaper" and was responsible for doing local reporting in the Resurrection Kingdom.
It follows and reports the entire marriage ceremony of Martyr and Theodore at Kashima Shrine. Both the god and the apostle Theodore are too low-key, and there is no news about their appearance outside the shrine.
The news was as little as one sentence, and Chicard retained some elements that the masses liked in the report.
After the report came out, it received several beatings, and the attacks were so cruel and accurate that Chicard was torn into pieces by five horses before he could recover. The bones all over his body were severely shattered, and it took him a long time to recover.
Then he was recruited by the Di Newspaper Office to its headquarters in Shacheng, where he was responsible for local reporting.
…
With the baby in his arms, Chicard was in a strange mood.
The ancestors of the White Bones were sterile, and the new population depended entirely on the Bone Mounds], so there was no concept of family, and they were more divided by occupational groups.
I heard Master Andre say it before.
"It was very difficult for my wife to give birth to a child. She is a vampire. It is very difficult for a supernatural person to give birth to the next generation...Alyosha and I were very scared at first. We were both too busy and lacked time to spend time with our children.
"
"But actually having a child is a wonderful feeling. Zikad, I can't say it, but I just feel that I am full of more hope and fighting spirit for life...I want to become a qualified adult.
and role models. Children are the future and the world belongs to them.”
When Andre said this, there was a satisfied smile on his face, as if he had received a gift from the gods.
Chicard carefully held the baby dug out from under the ice.
He has delicate and thin skin, but his whole body is as cold as snow. He looks so weak, and his body is expanding and contracting slightly.
The Nibelungen child slowly opened his eyes.
His eyelashes were very long, and the pores in his eyes were blue, like gems. His small lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but no words came out.
In the end, he just held Chicard's bone-white fingers tightly with his soft little hands, as if nothing could make him let go.
But Zikad has a way.
It dug out the tool box, smeared the bones of its hand with lard, and then slipped out from the baby's fingers.
"Sorry, I really didn't expect to dig you out."
"Just continue to sleep."
Chicard put the baby back into the pit, quickly buried it with ice and tamped the ground with a shovel.
When it packed up its things and turned to leave, it found that the child had crawled out of the ice pile and looked at it curiously with blue eyes.
When Chicard walked, he walked too. The child crawled nimbly on the ice, not slow at all.
This made Chikard a little embarrassed.
If you bury him again, the child may still come out. According to Andre, the child is very energetic and very heavy when sleeping, but when he wakes up, he is as excited as a berserker.
Zicard rummaged through his backpack.
Got it!
It found a bottle of magic potion sleeping potion and drank it all into the baby. The baby quickly fell asleep and lay stretched out on the ground motionless.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Very good.
Good boy.
Chicard buried him in the underground ice cave again.
This should be no problem.
But when it walked to the edge of the Kingdom of Mist with its backpack on its back, it suddenly saw that the child was following behind it again.
Although the baby couldn't help but yawn, he still followed it tenaciously.
Chicard realized that this child had a stubborn desire to follow him, but he did not dare or could not leave the Kingdom of Mist.
So when he walked out of the Kingdom of Mist, the baby looked at this side blankly, but with a reluctant expression on his face - but he didn't cry.
Chicard gave him the empty bottle of sleeping potion as a souvenir.
…
Returning to the newspaper office in Shacheng, Chicard handed over the crystal phases he took with the coral crystal phase to the newspaper office. After selecting these crystal phases, he would ask an artist to copy them and put them on the newspaper.
A few days later, the latest issue of Shacheng Di News was released, and one of the headlines was "Exploring the Kingdom of Mist" written by Chicard.
This is the first detailed visit record to the Kingdom of Mist in history, but it does not mention the Nibelung babies in the ice.
A month later, Chicard entered the Kingdom of Mist again.
This time it wants to investigate a strange incident that caused quite a stir.
According to feedback from scholars of the Temple Society, earthquakes occur frequently on the ground in the Kingdom of Mist, and the ice begins to cause violent fluctuations like ocean waves, making it difficult and dangerous for them to collect ice spring toxins.
Deep underground in Niflheim, it seems that some kind of power is gradually reviving.
In response, the blood knight guarding the Eternal Fountain just said: "It's a giant."
According to legend, the Kingdom of Mist is one of the origins of giants.
At least one giant is being conceived in the Kingdom of Mist.
Chicard carried his bag all the way into the Kingdom of Fog. On this ice sheet covered with cold white fog, it experienced two small earthquakes, almost damaging the precious coral crystals.
Although it protected the most important wind collector equipment, the large tool bag was missing.
It contains not only essential supplies such as magic potions, iron picks, shovels, ropes, and stoves, but also important special oils. Chicard must smear these oils all over his body to prevent the bones and joints of his body from freezing.
and embrittlement.
Death is approaching.
Just when Chicard was showing off his worries, a boy walked out of the fog. He found Chicard's tool bag and returned it intact.
“Thank you very much! It’s really helpful!”
Chicard was so excited that he gestured in Yao language and said, "I am Chikard, a news collector from the Di newspaper office. Are you a member of the Temple Association?"
The young man smiled at him.
Only then did Chicard feel something was wrong.
The boy was wearing tattered clothes that were worn by adults. His hands were not wearing gloves, his neck was exposed to the ice mist, and he had a pair of bare feet under his wide trouser legs.
He looks to be about thirteen or fourteen years old, with snow-white hair, dazzlingly white skin, and blue eyes.
The boy couldn't speak, but he could understand what Chicard meant.
He made a series of gestures and pointed to the pendant around his neck - a small glass bottle tied with a rope.
Chicard watched.
"Digging? No, digging through the ice?"
"sleep?"
"Drink water? Drink alcohol? Drink medicine?"
"Leave and say goodbye?"
…
Chicard's jaw suddenly clicked, and one of his teeth fell out.
It finally knew what the other person was talking about.
The child was talking about how he was the baby who was dug up by himself.
Chicard was both excited and extremely surprised.
The Nibelungs grow so fast that they can grow from a baby to a teenager in just one month.
At this time the ground shook again.
There was a surprised expression on the young man's face, and he looked into the distance.
Chicard barely managed to steady his body.
It discovered that a huge hole opened in the ground, and many people crawled out from the underground and glaciers. They were all like teenagers, with white hair, white skin, and blue eyes, but most of them were very young, almost all of them children.
There are very few boys and girls.
At the center of all the Nibelungen children was a young man whose gender was difficult to distinguish.
His silver hair spread out, almost completely covering his body, like some kind of mysterious totem. All the children approached him and stretched out their hands to touch him.
The moment they touched it, these children merged with the long-haired young man, making the young man taller. As a large number of children assimilated and integrated, the shape of the young man in the center also continued to change and distort.
He turned into a towering giant, wearing armor made of ice and snow, with a layer of blue light lingering on his armor and stomach.
The young man looked at Chicard and then at the giant.
He pointed at the giant facing this way and signaled that he would go there too.
Zicard doesn't feel good.
As a bone mage, it also has a certain understanding of the basics of spells and various abilities. This is a completely integrated spell, almost like a symbiosis.
The giants of the Kingdom of Mist were originally made up of the children of the Nibelungs - in other words, the Nibelungen clan is more like the childhood of the giants of the Kingdom of Mist.
It takes a large number of children to form an adult giant.
This way of growing up makes Chicard feel dangerous and strange.
It grabbed the young man and said, "Don't go."
There was a look of confusion and hesitation on the young man's face, and he made gestures to show that it was difficult for him to resist the giant's call.
"I don't know if you understand... you can go over and become part of the giant."
Chicard gestured: "You don't have to go back and live like a child outside. Becoming a giant is not your only choice to live."
The young man seemed to understand.
But there was an uneasy and nervous look on his face, as if he was frightened just by the thought of resisting the giant.
The young man stood there, still hesitant.
However, the giant had already completed the fusion of other Nibelungen children and was walking towards here step by step. At this time, it was more than thirty meters tall, like a hill, and the earth shook with every step it took.
The giant's broad fingers fell from the air to the young man.
The young man suddenly turned his face, showing an expression of pain and fear.
Chicard grabbed him and pulled him behind him.
"Run! Run out!"
The young man seemed to understand and ran away.
Chicard also wanted to escape, but his body was shattered by a slap from the giant. At the critical moment, Chicard skillfully threw his skull far away with both hands, but unfortunately it got stuck on an ice pick.
The giant raised his foot and stepped on Zikad's skull.
At the last moment of his life, Chicard felt neither fear nor fear in his heart.
It's just annoying.
It's a pity that I couldn't take pictures of the Nibelungen children growing up into giants.
…
However, the expected death fragment did not appear.
A bolt of black lightning fell on his head, causing the giant to stagger back two steps.
Chicard came back to his senses and saw a black-armored knight standing in front of him.
Blood Knight Nevid.
"Who allowed you to harm the Yao tribe, the Frost Giant?"
The giant roared angrily and unwillingly, but in the end it spread its hands as if eager to explain something.
The blood knight just raised his sword and pointed it at the opponent: "Next time, I will send you back to the Eternal Fountain."
The Frost Giant's whole body froze suddenly, and it hurriedly turned around and retreated, quickly disappearing into the ice mist.
Chicard felt relieved.
Wherever the divine power of Lord Yao resides, the Yao people will be able to obtain maximum security.
The Kingdom of Mist is the territory and origin of the giants, as well as the bed and home of the Nibelungs, but only the god Yao is the master here.
