Chapter 215: The Mystery of the Frozen Lake
Stinger pondered for a long time, shook his head, and said, "The territory of the undead is in the north-central part of the Far North, and the ice lake you mentioned is located in the south. I can't figure out how the two have to do with each other! Maybe it's just a coincidence, right?"
Just when Luo Ning felt a little disappointed, the silver-haired old man Luo Ge suddenly asked, "The group of high-level undead you are talking about, is the leader a girl with blue dragon horns?"
Luo Ning's heart froze, and he hurriedly responded: "Yes, it is indeed a girl with a blue horn." If it weren't for Karen, I'd have been killed by that little girl in Gutenberg!
Rogge smiled miserably, the wrinkles on his cheeks and the corners of his eyes were huddled together: "No, when I was walking around the mainland, that little guy may not have hatched yet." ”
"Hatch out, that's right, that little girl's body did appear to be a dragon when she left!" Luo Ning reminded him, and naturally connected certain things.
Rogge's eyes were confused, and he seemed to have traveled through a hundred years in an instant, returning to the era when he was full of blood: "Speaking of which, it was all a hundred years ago. By the way, young man, do you know the difference between a flying dragon and a dragon?"
"So-so, you know!"
Rogge nodded, "Wyverns and dragons, although they sound similar, there is a world of difference between the nobility and cheapness of their bloodlines. There are thousands of flying dragons on the Lost Continent, but there are only a dozen real dragons. Adult dragons can easily reach hundreds of meters in length, can unleash true dragon magic, and can fight even young dragons back and forth. Among the dozen or so dragons, the ghost frost dragon "Terrak" is the most special. ”
"What's so special about this Frost Dragon, I guess it's just a lifeless ghost at best?"
"Huh...... You're half right, and you're half wrong!" Rogge said something that puzzled Ronin, "Tyrak is an ordinary frost dragon. But because of an adventure when he was a child, his physique is extremely special. In normal times, it is a living being, but in battle, he is able to transform himself into a lifeless ghostly body, allowing him to withstand attacks from special spells such as blood magic. ”
"But what does this have to do with that little girl, my blood magic works on her, so it looks like she has nothing to do with Terrak, right?"
Rogge shook his head and said, "That's just that she is not yet an adult, and the power in her body has not been fully awakened." I'm 90% sure: that little girl with dragon horns is the daughter of Terrak! Because the ghost frost dragon Tyrak has been imprisoned under the ice lake you mentioned for a hundred years! And only its daughter can gain the allegiance of many high-level undead!"
"What!" Luo Ning was shocked, he didn't expect that there was such a hidden story.
Rogge continued, "No, it's not an ice lake, to be exact, it's an ancient magic in disguise, the Six-Light Cage! About a hundred years ago, I happened to pass by in order to deal with the Necromantic Tide, and I had the privilege of witnessing Tyrak being imprisoned in a six-light cage by a mysterious mage. After determining that he could not escape, the mage managed to slice it into a frozen lake before disappearing under the gaze of the crowd. ”
Luo Ning combed through the information he heard: "In other words, that mysterious girl took a large number of undead to that ice lake, in fact, to rescue the ghost frost dragon who was locked at the bottom of the lake?"
"Rescue? hehe, she hasn't even awakened the power in her blood, why should she save it? It's just that the little girl misses her father, so she just stopped by to visit him!"
Fanya climbed out of her neckline: "Master, then do you say that we still want to go under that ice lake?"
Luo Ning said categorically: "Go, of course I want to go! I've come here, of course I'm going to see what is going on! I've never seen a real dragon!"
Half a day later, Luo Ning and the two went to the side of the ice lake at the beginning. Rather than take on a human form, Fania shrunk into a giant snake three or four meters long, quickly swimming around the snow-covered ice. After a while, she seemed to have found the entrance to the bottom of the frozen lake before the mysterious maiden. Swinging his wings into the air, he plunged headlong into the frozen lake. With a "pop", the thin ice floe was shattered headlong by Fanya, who dived into the ice lake from the hole she found, stirring up snow-white spray several meters high.
Luo Ning pulled Karen to stand by the water and waited for a while, and suddenly saw the water bubbles surging in front of him, and hurriedly took a few steps back. Immediately afterward, Fanya floated up to the surface of the lake from the surface of the water and informed Ronin of what she had seen underwater.
"The old man is right! This icy lake was brought here by magic, and there are still magic marks on the icebergs below the surface. Further down the water, there were six large pillars of golden light, and the dragon was napping in the prison when I went down!"
"Okay, you come and open the way, let's go down!"
Fenia knew how to jump under the water, then swung her four bone wings with her magic to use the storm to create a tunnel in the icy waters of the lake. Like a slide, Ronin and the others followed Fanya all the way down from the entrance of the passage to a giant cage that was 100 meters high.
The six-light cage is called a cage, but it is actually only composed of six hundred-meter-long golden pillars of light and the magic array that glows brightly at the bottom of the water. But despite its humble beginnings, after a hundred years, the magic shows no signs of fading or dissipating. Especially within the confines of that giant magic array, it was still as dry as a desert, and not a drop of lake water had entered.
Luo Ning looked in through the huge pillar of light, and saw a giant dragon covered in blue-gray diamond-shaped scales lying between the pillars of light. The dragon was so large that a single nail on its front paws was more than a meter long. The white breath it exhaled as it breathed was extremely strong, like a storm.
When you get closer, you can see that the giant dragon has a blue-black horn full of threads on the top, a pair of crystal clear white bone wings hanging from its back, a long tail ring in front of it, and two layers of dense triangular black bone plates on the side of the tail, which looks very similar to the mysterious girl in Gutenberg.
Just as Luo Ning and the others were observing the dragon, the legendary ghost frost dragon suddenly opened its eyes and moved its head, and a low and heavy buzzing sound came out of its mouth, which was vaguely the lingua franca of the dragon clan.
Luo Ning relied on his patchwork memories to finally understand the meaning of the humming: "What's the matter, has that ancient god arrived? I'm so depressed here, please let me out!"
He thought of the people who died in Gutenberg, and he had no good feelings for this dragon: "Hmph, come? Don't dream! Not only did the old gods not come, but your precious daughter was also driven back to her hometown by us!
Hearing the voice, the ghost frost dragon Tyrak snapped open his eyes.
