Chapter 38: The Legend of Icewind Dale
When the cat returned to him, faith and the courage to live also returned to him.
Thomas's practice and practice of skills was sufficient, and as the shackles were opened, the guilt lessened, and the abyss of confusion and pain was lifted, his self-confidence returned, and his thinking, understanding, and learning from his abilities and past events truly became his experience of progress.
The relationship between people is too complicated, which can lead to fear and panic in the expectation and hope that comes with the love of others, and only the pure feelings of cats can revive the human heart.
In ancient legends, there is a balance between the spiritual sea of stars and the material elemental chaos, and that is the main material plane.
The immortal beings who control entropy and the elements, known as the Dawn Titans, begin the world-shaping project from the primordial matter of elemental chaos. But their work continued, and the world would simply return to its original form, and the gods, known as the Eternal Stars, began to shape the sun, moon, stars, and earth, ocean—and most importantly, life.
Wars fought for sovereignty over the world have lasted for countless centuries, most of which have been won by the gods, and one example of the victory of those immortal beings representing entropy and elements is the world of Attas.
Many years after the end of the war in the world of Torrell, one of the creator races, on the brink of extinction, used their powerful magic to unleash the gods' ancient enemies. The renewed flames of war brought terrifying storms, earthquakes, and flames......
Just as one of them tried to throw a comet to completely destroy the planet Torrell, the god AO finally intervened.
The gods created a twin world of Torrell, and Apol was placed at the mercy of the Dawn Titans, while the gods continued to rule the Torrell world.
Known as the Dawn Titan of Azgoreas the World Shaper, his other name is better known - the nine-faced dragon god IO!
The comet that was thrown onto the surface of the planet smashed out of the sea of falling stars and sowed dragon eggs into the world.
The dragon is naturally the interface between the energy of the elemental chaos in the main material plane.
Their hearts draw energy from elemental chaos and pump it throughout their bodies, where they breathe, fly, and even digest ...... Dragons have a keen sense of hearing and smell, and their pupils that radiate magical energy are clearer than cats can see in the dark.
And what about cats?
In Aztec, the priests believed that the incarnation of the warbringer, the god of the late heavens, and the heart eater was none other than Jaguar.
Their furs and spots hide the words of the gods, they guard the gates to another world, they are the kings of animals that symbolize the power of priests and rulers, and encounters with them can change one's worldview.
Baihua told him lightly that she had gone from this world to the Dragon Continent, and then to find a way to find the Aztec Continent in the Apol World, and then traveled through time to Icewind Dale more than a hundred years ago, and finally returned to the present time and place.
Thomas knew that she must have deliberately skipped many things, such as how she got on the ship and sailed the seas, and how she found her way to the world of Apol in a continent full of dragons.
She didn't say what kind of battle she had experienced with Aztec in the Dragon Continent that would make it bloody.
She didn't even say if she had a longing for him and couldn't sleep—even if she fell asleep, who she dreamed of.
This is a very proud cat.
"Coming out of the portal at the Spine of the World, I passed through Kudaha, where the Grand Druid told me to wait here and I could meet you. ”
Just a psychic connection, she didn't speak.
Hyakka blinked her eyes, purred and raised her tail straight.
So Thomas already knew her mood and opened his arms to Baihua.
The cat girl stretched out her paws and wanted to push away with an indifferent face, but she didn't have as much strength as him, and she was rubbed in the face for a while.
"You're mine. Hugging her petite body tightly, Thomas said, "I'll never let you go again." ”
Baihua put his arms around his neck, and just as Thomas was moved, there was a frantic kick in the jaw and face.
Her body and joints are extremely soft and flexible, and her long legs can kick her chin up when she is close together, or turn behind him to kick the back of the head.
"You, yes, I, of. Baihua said word by word.
After praying to the unicorn goddess and putting away their coats, the hunter's grass and cocoa that Flowers had brought back from Aztec, Thomas was about to set off to track down the Assassins, when he saw a familiar book in Flowers' luggage.
It was a blue-gray book, with "Icewind Dale Sagas" written in kanji on the cover, and the nails, stains, and damages resembled the Icewind Dale manual he had lost when he moved.
"I got it in Eastern Exile more than a hundred years ago, when it was placed as a souvenir in the Temple of the God of War. As I passed by, I could smell you inside. ”
Just when she was about to forget her master's breath, a familiar feeling suddenly came.
Thomas opened the book and found that it told a story compiled by a member of the Order of Broken Blades, the god of war, Tampas:
The greatest legends can be derived from the smallest of origins, as was the case two hundred years ago, in 1281 A.D., when the valley was reclaimed, when a group of adventuring parties set out from the fishing settlements of the Eastern Exiles.
The strangers met at the Cradle of Winter's Inn, who had come to the Northlands in search of adventure, and were the first to join the Heloterga Expedition to investigate the problem of Kudaha in Tree Town.
In Kudaha there is a small town under the branches of an oak tree hundreds of feet high, which is heated by its heat.
The bad luck that raged in Icewind Dales caused the catastrophe of Heloterga's expedition on the Kudaha Trail...... Only this group of adventurers survived.
Heloterga was later buried in a small valley near Kudaha to commemorate his selfless arrival to help his neighbors when he himself was in trouble in the eastern exile.
The group fought against the goblin raiders of the valley and finally arrived at Kudaha, only to find that the tree was threatened by an unknown evil in the mountains, which would be destroyed and the Northlands would soon suffer the same fate.
This group of intrepid adventurers will uncover this evil as their journey takes them from the tombs of the Valley of the Shadows through the countless ruins of the Northlands, including the ruined Elven fortress Severed Hand Tower and the magma-filled Caverns of the Dragon's Eye. Most of their travel records have been lost, but their efforts did save Kudaha and the Ten Towns, and their accomplishments are still celebrated in the Eastern Exile and Kudaha to this day.
Among other heroic deeds, the group of adventurers also discovered the location of the grave of the black wolf Cressorek, one of the most famous of the Warlords of the Northlands, as well as the Tower of the Severed Hand, as well as many other monasteries and ruins that are believed to have been buried in the snow and ice of the Northlands.
After reading the last chapter, Thomas noticed that the book didn't seem to finish the story.
A gust of wind blew through the enclosed room, flipping through the books in his hand, and he noticed that the first letters of each chapter were combined to form a special summoning spell.
It dawned on Thomas: as long as he read those words, he could summon the winds of Icewind Dale to help.
[Legend of Icewind Dale]
The Greatest Legend ...... It has been buried in the ice and snow of the years and the Northland.
This book has a total of 20 rounds of energy, and 10 rounds of energy are regenerated every day.
You can use 2 to 6 rounds of energy to summon different wind elements, or you can use 5 rounds to cast wind tunnels.
"Good, so strong!" Thomas couldn't help but be surprised, it was a bit overkill to use this thing against the Assassins?
Still, he decided to give it a try if he had the chance.
