Two months later, when Rhodes with a full beard stood at the gate of Blackhammer Castle with the giant bear Ursok, people were undoubtedly stunned by the sight in front of them. They once thought that their lord would not come back. Two months later,
, there was no news for two whole months; in the Black Hammer Castle, the steward Muros even had a big quarrel with Celta and his party over this matter, thinking that they should not come back by themselves and let the lord go to such a dangerous place alone. Now Luo
After De returned intact, Muros's hanging heart relaxed.
Alone, he entered the Troll Mountains and came back alive. This kind of thing only exists in legends. What is even more legendary than the legend is that Rhodes not only came back alive, but also brought back a giant white bear. Its size was larger than what people have ever seen.
At the same time, its appearance is also surprising. No bear has ever had red eyes. However, the giant bear next to Rhodes has blood-red eyes. In addition, it is extremely huge.
It's so big that a normal person would feel scared standing in front of it even for just a second.
"Lord White Bear! Lord White Bear..."
Rhodes' return ignited everyone's enthusiasm. The lives of the people in the north were ordinary, but suddenly such a big event occurred. The whole village came out and crowded on both sides of the Castle Avenue to watch this surprising scene.
There is no doubt that the attitude of soldiers and civilians towards their lord has risen to the level of worship.
Facing the boiling crowd, Ursock, the bear spirit, always lowered his head and followed Rhodes. It is the most loyal partner of the son of the bear god, and at the same time, it is not keen on vanity like humans. The noisy cheers on the contrary
Let it feel dissatisfied. If Rhodes had not returned to the city, it might not even come to human territory.
"Lord, what is this?"
Entering Black Hammer Castle, Chief Knight Virgil, Ranger Lawrence, Butler Muros, Frost Witch Caroline, etc. all gathered around. While everyone was concerned about their lord, they were also concerned about the giant bear behind Rhodes.
Aroused strong interest.
Caroline, in particular, was overflowing with curiosity. She approached Rhodes and carefully touched the white bear's head. However, Ursok roared back...
"He likes to be alone and doesn't like contact with strangers."
Rhodes said with a smile. You can see that Caroline was very cute when she was frightened. She looked panicked and hid behind Rhodes.
"But as time goes by, he will accept you."
Rhodes added.
"My lord, I'm curious, how did you capture such a big bear? What did you go through after you were separated from us?"
Celta, a Norse warrior with a bandage on his foot, asked curiously. His question was also the question of everyone. You could see that more and more people gathered around Rhodes. Everyone wanted to feel it up close.
Get off the giant bear, and at the same time, listen to the adventures of their lord.
"After I separated from you, I followed the forest path all the way north, entered the frozen forest, passed through the tundra, and finally entered the Troll Mountains." Rhodes said, "The story is long. Come, take your time after entering the city.
Speak slowly."
With that said, Rhodes walked into the gate of Black Hammer Castle surrounded by everyone.
The enthusiastic civilians were blocked outside the city gate.
…
"The Troll Mountains are colder than I imagined. There are strong winds, hail and blizzards from time to time. There is almost no grass growing. Food, food is the biggest problem that troubles me. I relied on insects and tree bark to get there."
After taking a shower and changing into dry and comfortable clothes, Rhodes told everyone about his adventure in the castle hall. Caroline sat next to her, serious and expectant. Celta sat opposite, pious.
And respectfully. There is such a legend among the northern Norscan tribes that whoever conquers the White Bear King is equivalent to gaining the recognition of the Bear God. He will inherit the power of the Bear God. In tribes that do not believe in the Chaos Gods,
That is the only belief of mankind.
"This big guy attacked me from behind. At first I had no room to resist, until I found a space for it to breathe and escaped from under its claws..."
Sitting at the round table, Rhodes talked freely.
"I fought with him for three days and three nights, until both of us were drained of blood and exhausted."
Rhodes said, rolling up his sleeves so that everyone could see the shocking scars on them.
"In the end, it surrendered. To be precise, I was almost exhausted. At that time, I felt that all the blood in my body was almost drained, my body temperature began to drop, and it seemed that I could no longer maintain normal life activities. However, fortunately,
Yes, I finally got through it."
"I brought it all the way back. To be precise, it also led the way. Ursok is very smart, he has his own ideas and acting style. If you compare it with ordinary beasts, you are totally wrong. It
He knows the road from the Troll Mountains to Blackhammer Castle. It was under his guidance that I returned to Blackhammer Castle. We took the road to the Troll Kingdom."
"Troll Nation?!"
Caroline exclaimed. As a frost witch, she knew what kind of place it was. Catalina once banned all wizards from entering the troll kingdom.
"Legend has it that this is where the devil is reborn."
Caroline asked in surprise.
"It's not that exaggerated. Do you believe it? It took us more than half a month to travel through the land of trolls. In these more than half a month, Bai Xiong and I didn't encounter a single demon, not even a troll. That land is very
There are various dark creatures in the vastness, but they are not as dense as in the legend. They are usually very scattered. You may not see a single living creature for several kilometers."
Rod returns.
"What's surprising is that we met the prairie cavalry. This is exactly the same as the legend. They come from the Great Wall and are a tribe of Great Wall sentries who wandered to the north. They are very small, with only more than 200 people, excluding women.
"Child, there are only a few dozen people who can really hunt and fight..."
In front of Caroline and everyone else, Rhodes chatted with great interest about his adventures in the Troll Country. This was the most accidental encounter.
"After confessing my identity to these grassland hunters, I invited them to settle in Blackhammer Castle, but no one was willing. Very admirable warriors, aren't they? After the Great Wall was abandoned, they stayed in the north. It was not because there was no land in the south.
They survived. But because the north needed them, they voluntarily stayed and fought with the roaming beastmen and greenskins to defend the north and spread the news to the northern fortresses as soon as possible. However, their number was too small.
So, the people living in the north have not heard from them for a long time. Before I met them, I thought these people had disappeared."
Rhodes said, picking up the wine glass on the table, and his mind went back to the situation where he and Spirit Bear were in the herdsmen's tent on the grassland half a month ago. When he asked them what they needed most, those people with rough skin
The prairie warrior just replied - need a woman...
