Chapter 706: The Snow Depths Are Nowhere to Fall
After a night without a word, the three of them spent a peaceful night in this small village.
Although Rhodes has already killed Bather, it is certainly not the time to contact the dragon, and for now, his mission is to follow Nunu on a long journey to learn more about the path from Lakstar to the Frostguard Fortress - the mysterious Frostguard is obviously more difficult to deal with than the Winterclaws who know each other well.
At the same time, Bronn also left the small village, he resolutely refused the invitation from Nunu to pass the way, and after saying goodbye, he dragged Basser's corpse away, fortunately the snow on the ground was thick enough, otherwise Rhodes really didn't know how this guy should bring such a huge dragon corpse.
You know, in order to achieve the best skin effect, Bronn is not willing to waste any dragon corpses, so he entrusted Rhodes to freeze the dragon corpses.
In this way, Rod followed Nunu and Willamp and successfully embarked on his own path.
……………………
Compared to the previous trip, the trip to the furnace country was unexpectedly peaceful.
In this "Aoun-shrouded" area, where there are no foul and nasty ice trolls or savage villages where travelers sharpen their knives, Rhodes and Nunu have traveled far and wide and found that the people here are peaceful and hospitable, and they are extremely warm to Nunu.
It is precisely because of this that Rhodes has been eating and drinking almost all the way, and he is much happier than before.
But the more peaceful the furnace country, the stranger Rhodes became.
It's understandable that there are no fights here, but why are there so tyrants here?
With more than six months of the year snowing, so the crops are measurably yielded, and their poor planting levels have diminished their already meagre harvest, so why are the people of the Furnace Country still drinking?
Puzzled, Rhodes asks Nunu about it, and gets an unusual answer.
"Because Furnace Country is a richer place than Lakstark, although it will snow here, there are many places where you can sow seeds in the snow."
Sowing seeds in the snow?
Rhodes remembered winter wheat - but it doesn't look like these Freljords are people who can grow winter wheat?!
Looking at Rhodes with a face full of disbelief, Nunu patted Willamp, and the snowman guardian who had been ordered to change direction in stride, leading Rhodes to a small clearing.
Nunu jumped off Willumpu's back, then reached out and swept away the thick snow on the ground.
"Whoa—reach out and touch it."
Rod stretched out his hand.
"Hot?!"
Completely contrary to Rod's expectations, the ground here is not the usual permafrost, and under the snow cover, the ground is actually warm!
"Yes, the furnace country is the shelter of Orn, and the mountains here are the forges of Orn, aren't all forges hot?"
Rod suddenly felt that his brain was a little insufficient.
As a mage, Rhodes now believes in not only science, but also magic.
But spells are also logical!
Why is it that the ground in the furnace country is hot, and the snow does not melt after falling to the ground?!
As if guessing Rod's thoughts, Nunu simply reached out and took a snowflake.
"You see—the snow in the furnace country is different from the outside."
"Different?" Rhodes also stretched out his hand like Nunu, "What's the difference—huh?!" ”
After catching a snowflake in the palm of his hand, Rod quickly noticed that something was wrong.
These snowflakes don't seem to melt due to changes in temperature!
"The snow in the furnace country does not melt and does not stop, although sometimes the snow stops suddenly, but it is only Orn who took time to take a sip of wine while he was forging, and when he swung his hammer again, the snow began again."
Rod was really a little surprised by this kind of legendary thing, he didn't know whether the reason in the story told by Nunu was true or false, but the facts he said did exist.
"Let's be honest." Rod carefully looked at the snowflakes that would not melt in his palms, and said slowly, "I suddenly want to meet this Orn now. ”
……………………
What's going on with the snow in the furnace country?
Actually, it's a little trick on Orn's side – or rather...... Helpless solution.
Rhodes was a Rune Annihilator, so he didn't realize that these snowflakes weren't real snowflakes.
They are the creations of Orn.
Part of the legend is true.
For example, Orn's forge never goes out.
For example, the snow is caused by the Orne Forge Furnace.
But there are some things that the legend doesn't say - for example, these snowflakes were deliberately created by Orn.
Orn possesses the incomparably powerful world rune of fire, but few people know that he also has a secondary rune called Snowflake.
Remember the rules of runes - the first completely new things and powers to be recognized by the laws of the Valoran runes will produce runes.
And the source of Valoran snowflakes is Orn.
In order to forge his creations, Orn introduced seawater as a coolant, causing a large amount of water vapor to rise into the air, which eventually turned into the snow of Freeljord, and Orn possessed a snowflake secondary rune.
And the snow in the furnace country is the creation of Orn.
These special snowflakes, like the original snowflakes, were made with the coolant of the forge, but unlike the ordinary snow, Orn used his secondary runes to make a little of the snowflakes a little bit of a manipulation of them.
In a sense, these snowflakes are Orn's eyes.
With the help of the heavy snow in the furnace country, Orn was able to learn about what happened in the furnace village to a certain extent, so he could give his own help.
Although Orn was the most reticent of the three demigods of Freljord, in reality, he was the kindest and kindest.
The previous battle with Volibell had led to the destruction of the Furnace family, and Orn had always harbored an indescribable guilt in his heart - although for a demigod, there was really no difference between a mortal and an ant, but the death of those people because of himself still made Orn sad and embarrassed.
It is for this reason that Orn will become their protector when the lucky ones who escaped from the furnace family and the outsiders build new villages together with the outsiders in the furnace country.
And that's why these special snowflakes appeared.
(Doesn't that sound familiar?) That's right, in one of the works that Rhodes once watched, there was a guy who claimed to be a "god" who also used a relatively similar method, and the guy who called himself Payne used a method called "Rain Tiger Freedom Technique". )
Why did Blom appear in that village just right?
Because Heavy Snow senses Bassher's presence, Bronn receives the message, and that's it.
