The Kingdom of Mist is a foggy ice field, and the visibility is much lower than that of Sand City.
Fahai followed Batty.
The only sound in the air was the thumping footsteps of the frost giants.
Everything here is covered with ice, the rocks are covered with ice, the water flow is crystallized, and even some strands of mist are frozen in the ice.
The ice on the soles of Fa Hai's feet became thicker and thicker as he walked, and he had to regularly use his stick to remove the ice to prevent his legs from becoming too heavy and clumsy.
"It's good that you're not afraid of the cold. Many people who come here feel it's too cold and don't want to stay any longer."
Barty said: "If you are not afraid of the cold, the Kingdom of Mist is a very comfortable place. You can squeeze ice into various shapes. They are very obedient things and can be made into armor, furniture and houses. As long as you have
Ice can do anything."
Fahai noticed that there seemed to be living creatures frozen in some ice blocks nearby.
There is a shell man in the nearest ice rock.
The face of the man in the ice is wrapped in scarves, and his body has a natural shell similar to a chest and back. He is leaning against a large wooden box, with his hands in his arms and his head lowered, as if he is sleeping.
Not far away there was a man wearing twin armor, like a ghost. There was an old-fashioned steam stove in front of him, as if he wanted to keep warm, but both the man and the stove were sealed in ice.
There are many ice corpses like this nearby, all frozen in the thick ice.
"Isn't there anyone to collect the bodies of these dead people?" Fahai let out a white breath.
"Yes. Our brothers will collect these corpses scattered in the ice field, let the people from Sand City identify them, and then take them back... There will always be people who come to the Kingdom of Mist and die here due to carelessness or accidents."
Barty stopped, opened his mouth repeatedly, sneezed loudly, and blew out a cloud of ice mist.
"The ones left here are all unclaimed, and I don't know who they are. If I want to claim them, I have to break them into pieces. Breaking them is not good, so I just leave them here."
"Every time, Brother Barras tells these people who come in to pay attention to their safety, but they always refuse to listen. What can we do? We can't save them every time."
Fahai thought the same thing.
Tall and smooth ice walls can often be seen on the ice sheet, with slogans such as "Beware of danger, keep warm, and do not drink poisonous springs" written in Yao and Resurrection Kingdom characters.
It seems that the frost giants also have a headache.
After walking for a while, Fahai followed Batty to the Eternal City, the core of the Kingdom of Mist.
The Ageless City is the only city in Niflheim. It is built around the Eternal Fountain. The city walls, houses, and streets are all made of large ice bricks.
The residents of this ice city are Nibelungen children. They have blue eyes, silver hair, and glowing white skin. The children are in twos and threes, chatting in low voices, or running and playing.
Noticing Fa Hai who was holding a bamboo stick, Nibelungen came close to him like a bird, chirping in all directions.
"Uncle Batty, have you brought someone back?"
"Well, this is Uncle Fahai."
"Uncle Buddy, didn't you go to fight? Did you win?"
"It's not a fight, it's a contest of strength! I won!"
"Uncle Monkey, your hair is so black!"
"Hello."
"Not polite! Is he a monkey?" Batty said angrily: "My name is Uncle Fahai."
"oh……"
"Uncle Fahai, are you transformed into a monkey?"
Barty grabbed the child, yelled, "Go away," and threw him into the air. The child let out a sharp scream and disappeared into the fog in the distance.
The giant raised his hands and put them on his eye sockets, looking into the distance with satisfaction: "This is more effective."
Such a hard-core teaching method shocked Fahai.
"Is the child going to be okay?"
"It's okay. The Nibelungs are very tough. If they lie in the ice for a few days at most, they will wake up soon. He knows the way back."
"..."
"Let's get down to business first. Come on, let's go. Kids, give way and go play with yours. We adults have serious business."
Badi strode over the children's heads, and Fahai followed nimbly with a bamboo stick in hand.
Soon the two came to an icy lake.
The surface of this ice lake is smooth and flat, obviously polished carefully. There are a lot of big ice balls at both ends of the ice lake, each ice ball is as high as Fahai.
"This is called smashing the ball. We three brothers often play it."
Batty grabbed a piece of ice hockey and weighed it gently with his big palm: "The gameplay is to hit each other with ice balls. Neither side can hide. See who can catch the most ice balls without breaking them."
"Look! It's coming!"
Barty made a one-arm throw.
The ice ball roared into Fahai.
Fahai transformed into a black-haired giant ape in his giant form. He opened his arms, held the ball steadily at his waist, and then hit Barty in the head with his backhand.
The ice puck was caught by Batty with both hands again.
The two giants were going back and forth, and then it became a matter of throwing double balls at each other, and then more ice balls were hitting each other crazily. The wind was howling on the ice lake, and the ice and snow were splashing.
After a fight, Batty still won.
"Hahahaha, this requires proficiency."
The Frost Giant grinned: "I invented a more interesting one..."
He suddenly looked towards the middle of the Eternal City and gestured there with his thumb: "Brother asked us to come over for a meal. Let's eat something first. Today is the extra meal day once a month. I came back on this day because of this.
This meal."
The tinkling sound of bells rang in the air.
Fahai followed Batty to an open space in the city.
Batty introduced to Fahai: "This is my eldest brother, Barras, who is also the mayor of the Eternal City."
"Welcome here, friends from afar."
Balas, wearing a red velvet hat, got off a large ice ship that was spraying ice vapor. He waved to Fa Hai. But under the size of the Frost Giant, the ship looked like a pony.
He opened the cabin at the back and took out boxes wrapped in cloth one by one. These boxes had names written in black smoky ink, and many of them were steaming.
"Qiaoli, this is your box."
"Thank you Mayor Barras!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Hogg, take yours."
"Hey, mayor, is there any jam in it?"
"You'll know when you open it. Okay, next, Jack."
"arrive!"
…
Barras distributed gift boxes to the children one by one, which contained various Shacheng foods.
The remaining dry wheat cakes, dried meat, pickles and ale were enjoyed by the giant as an adult.
Fahai gnawed on the wheat cake and noticed the third giant.
"Who is that?"
"That's my brother, Bato."
Barty wiped the residue on his beard with the palm of his hand, stuffed the dried meat into his mouth with one hand, and grabbed a bucket of wine with the other hand and poured it into his mouth. Due to the heating of the stove, the wine did not freeze.
Fahai looked at the youngest frost giant.
Compared to his two brothers, Ba Tuo is short. He carries a large box on his back, wears crystal goggles and a special windproof metal helmet, and has a bunch of gold chains hanging around his neck. He looks a bit different from the Eternal City.
fashionable.
Bato was tinkering with a large iron stove at this time, surrounded by a circle of Nibelungs. The children looked at him eagerly, as if they were looking forward to it.
Batty said: "Bato is an inventor. The sweet and ice he makes is not only loved by everyone in Old City, but also in Shacheng. Every day people are sent to buy in large quantities."
Fahai leaned over to take a closer look.
On the left side of the big iron furnace is a fire and steam furnace, and on the right is an ice and steam furnace. The two furnaces are connected. The main furnace in the middle makes a gurgling sound and keeps emitting hot steam.
Bato grabbed the rocking handle next to him and squeezed it, and the spout of the stove squeezed out thick white creamy ice.
He placed an ice bowl underneath, filled it with ice cream, poured it with sour raspberry jam or honey, and finally handed it to a child.
The children in Nibelung dipped their popsicles into something sweet and ice-cold, and looked satisfied. Other children continued to line up, waiting for their own portion.
"A large part of the income of the Eternal City depends on Batuo's sweet and cold food." Batty grinned: "He is a smart guy, and I am not very good at this. Let's go and take you to see what I have made.
It’s fun.”
The two came to an ice field behind the glacial lake.
Barty broke open an ice cave sealed with ice rocks and took out a stack of thin round ice trays from inside.
"Look good."
He threw the ice tray into the air.
The ice disk suddenly jumped into the sky and flew diagonally upward.
Barty immediately grabbed the ice puck on the side, turned slightly sideways, and then threw it hard into the sky. The high-speed ice puck accurately hit the gliding ice disk, shattering it into a pile of ice cream.
"Cool!"
The giant punched hard with both arms.
"Brother Fahai, this is called a Frisbee. Come and give it a try."
Fahai took the ice tray handed over by Batty, threw it into the sky like a giant, and then chased it with the ice ball. He threw several balls in a row, but failed to hit it.
"Hahahaha, you haven't mastered the trick at the beginning. You need to consider the obstruction of the wind and predict the flight path of the plate."
Batty, on the other hand, imparted his experience to Fahai, adjusted his posture, and asked him to pay attention to seizing the opportunity.
Fahai reluctantly managed to achieve a hit.
The moment the ice ball shattered the Frisbee, Fahai felt an inexplicable sense of joy and couldn't help but let out a monkey laugh.
"What do you think of this thing?"
"It's better than just fighting with strength!" Fahai said sincerely.
"Really? I just said, everyone should come and play with this."
"But that putt..."
Fahai thought again: "It's just the smashing ball. Why not make it smaller and use the ball to hit other targets, such as a hole in the distance. People who are not so strong should be able to play it."
"It makes sense." Batty nodded: "I'll go and think about it."
He ran directly to the ice lake and started trying a new way to play the ball-smashing game.
Fahai started practicing Frisbee.
This game is obviously not complicated, but it has a kind of fascinating magic.
Fahai played for a whole month.
And during a fierce Frisbee battle between him and Barty, a small accident occurred.
Fahai's ice ball did not hit the Frisbee, but something in the mist in the air. The moment the ice ball shattered, the thing in the air fell straight to the ground.
Fahai and Batty rushed over to take a look and found that it was a strange device.
The device was severely damaged and deformed after it fell. It could only be seen that the main body was some kind of box, and the top was a pile of debris and glass slag.
A little man was thrown out from inside and was already unconscious.
It had a metal body, and a dim and flickering light emitted from its head. Its legs were broken due to the fall and impact, and its left arm flew to no one knows where.
"People from the Deng Clan?"
Barty was stunned: "They also want to play Frisbee?"
Fahai:"……"
Barty's mind is indeed not that ideal.
On the day of the accident, a team of people from Shacheng came over.
The leader is the prophet Black Forge.
He said in a serious tone: "This was originally a top-secret test flight. Unexpectedly, the change in wind direction and the sandstorm blew the sky lantern here, causing it to fall. Unfortunately, the lantern key was seriously injured. It will take at least two years for him to fully recover and be able to fly."
, the plan has to be postponed again... Please keep this matter confidential."
Fahai blamed himself and said: "I'm really sorry. It was actually my mistake this time. I am willing to take responsibility and compensate for it."
He frankly talked about the process of shooting down the sky lantern.
"...I can only say that my luck is not very good."
Heidou suddenly thought of something, and looked at Fahai with bright eyes: "Fahai? You are the disciple of the wild mage, right?"
"it's me."
"I remember that you seem to have dual abilities of earth element and water element."
"Yes."
"Then you become a pilot!"
"ah?"
"You can do it. Your physique is very strong and you can definitely adapt to flying!"
…
Black Forging took Fahai to a secret underground base outside Shacheng.
Only then did the prophet tell him the truth.
"Fahai, you will face perhaps the most difficult challenge in the history of the Yao people, but you will also have the opportunity to accomplish what generations of people have dreamed of."
"We plan to use a spaceship to sail to the sky."
Fahai was stunned: "Tianwai?"
"That's right."
Heimao said firmly: "Crossing the boundary of the world and entering the vast world group outside! This is the flight we want to do!"
"You will be the first pilot of our Yao tribe to fly into the outer world!"
Fahai didn't come back to his senses.
We have just descended from Qianyuan Mountain. We haven’t gone very far yet, and now we are about to take off?
