Akfield looked at him in groups, as if he was caught up in his own thoughts, and did not explain any more. With each passing generation, the number of statues decreases dramatically. There is a very important reason for the decrease in heroes, that is, the decline in the number of ethnic groups.

By the end of the group, there was only one statue left.

Akfil walked slowly past the ice sculptures, and finally stood in front of a piece of ice that had not yet been carved and said, "This is my place." ”

Qianye's eyebrows raised slightly, waiting for his next step.

Akfield said slowly: "It wasn't until the seventh generation ancestor, the Frost Thunder Temple, was completed, that he initially had the ability to control the destructive power on this landmass. By this time, however, it was a little too late. The number of clansmen is not enough to support the reproduction of the race, and the number is still slowly declining. If you want to survive, you can only absorb the new blood of foreign races. However, in a sense, by doing so, our race is also dead. ”

Qianye's heart moved slightly, the dilution of bloodlines is a problem that almost all immortal races will encounter, such as the blood clan gradually falling into a deep sleep, and the bloodline of the demon descendant who is close to cutting off the heir. The inheritance of the power of most races is closely related to bloodline, and the absence of power means the decline or even extinction of the entire race.

Strange to say, the human race is not so obviously bound by the bloodline, and the military battle created by Wu Zu has broken through this restriction, although it is expensive, but in this war-torn world, immediate survival is far more important than long-term planning.

Akfield's voice pulled Chiya out of his contemplation, and he pointed to the individual statues, saying, "From the eighth generation onwards, it is no longer the hero who can erect the statue, but the master of the Frost Thunder Temple, that is, the one who inherits the power of the Frost Thunder. ”

Qianye also understood why he just said that it was his place. When Akfil dies, a new generation of temple masters will create statues for him.

"Where's Carol?

"You mean sister, okay, I was about to talk about it. Come with me. ”

Akfil left the underground temple with Senye and went deeper underground. This time, the passage was so deep that it seemed to have no end, at least a few hundred meters down, before a gate appeared in front of me.

Akfield pushed open the door, revealing another world before him.

It is a naturally formed cave that gradually descends into a bottomless pit in the center. Standing on the edge of the pit, you can see a faint blue light flickering in the depths, and there are dancing electric fires on the pit wall from time to time.

Even if he was just standing at the mouth of the pit, Qianye's hair fluttered slightly, and he clearly felt the terrifying energy at the bottom of the pit.

"This is the origin of the Frost and Thunder Temple. The entire temple is a facility that suppresses and filters the power of frost and the thunder of the void. Otherwise, every ten years, there will be a cold wave in the landmass, and the Void Thunder will spread all over the ground, turning the entire landblock into a dead world. ”

"When the Frost Thunder Temple is built, these two powers will become available, and of course, refining them requires extremely high talent. However, there is no shortage of geniuses in our clan, and in each generation there are people who can control the power of frost and become the master of the temple. Sister...... She was the first of our generation to be able to control the power of frost, but she chose the Void Thunder instead. I don't hate her, though. ”

"Only those who control the power of frost and cold can be the master of the temple?" asked Qianya.

Akfield nodded, "That's right. Only by mastering the power of frost and cold can the entire temple be mobilized, suppressing natural disasters and protecting the people. ”

Qianye somewhat understood, "In other words, the Lord of the Temple can't actually leave, right?"

"You can leave for a short time, and if you count the round-trip journey, you can probably spend half a day in other landmasses. Akfield smiled wryly.

Qianye suddenly felt a little sympathetic to him. Akfil is also a genius, but he was confined to this deep and cold temple at a young age, what is the joy of such a life? No wonder when Carol chose Thunder, he would say that he didn't hate her.

"My sister can walk freely, while I need to shelter my people. Once the temple stops functioning, the people living here will die within a short time. I've only been out of this place twice, just to let people outside know that there is still me in the Frost Thunder Temple, not just my sister. Only in this way will those dirty idiots outside be a little more restrained and will not beat my sister with ideas that she shouldn't have. ”

Speaking of this, Akfil turned around, looked at Thousand Nights, and said, "Are you interested in inheriting the power of frost and becoming the next hall master of the temple?"

Qianye was surprised, and didn't bother to think about whether this proposal was reasonable, and asked, "Can I?"

"Absolutely, with my help, it's never a problem. With the power of frost, you can go directly to ...... According to you humans, the superior gods. ”

For many people, such a powerful force that may take a lifetime of pursuit is a temptation that is hard to resist.

Qianye shook her head, "Not interested." ”

Akfield looked at Qianye for a moment, then shook his head and sighed, "Originally, you were the best candidate for my clan to absorb new blood...... But you should refuse, those who have the dawn of the peak of dawn should not look down on the power of frost here. In that case, I'll give you this gift. ”

He flicked his fingers, and his fingertips sounded like a phoenix. Hearing this voice, Qianye only felt that a deep freezing point in his body suddenly exploded, and the extreme cold current instantly surged all over his body!

This is the power of the Ice Leaf Soup, don't look at Qianye It took so much time to drink it, in fact, most of it was still temporarily indigestible, and it was stored in his body, waiting for it to be slowly refined with the Song Clan Ancient Scroll when he was free.

Who knew that Akfield not only saw it, but with a snap of his fingers, he activated it all!

Qianye didn't even have time to resist, and the cold snap froze him instantly, but the miraculous thing was that after the extreme cold, it suddenly turned into a gentle warm current, merging with the body that Qianye had stimulated to the limit. Thousands of warm currents are like migratory birds, rushing towards the eighth Force node. The Force at this node was already extremely strong, and when it was joined by the warm current, the massive Force had nowhere to go, and it collapsed, condensing into liquid, and turning into a whirlpool.

The irrepressible breath of the thousand nights slowly ascended, getting higher and higher, and at this point, he was only one step away from the Divine Heavenly Pass.

After a while, Qianye could make a sound, and said suspiciously: "This ......"

"Save you some time, and by the way, increase your combat power. I don't want my sister to be with someone in the future to die like this. ”

Akfield walked out the door, Chiya was a little baffled, but had no choice but to follow.

This time, Akfield returned to the living area and sat down in the living room. When Qianye was also seated, the waiter held a cup of tea like clear water, and there was a green leaf at the bottom of the cup.

Qianye was a little troubled, holding the tea, and looked at it for a while, but there was no entrance. If this tea is the same as the iced leaf soup, it will be a little unbearable to drink in one gulp.

Akfil smiled: "Don't worry, this is ordinary tea." I don't have a few ice leaves myself, so I'm reluctant to take too many out to entertain you. Unless......" He suddenly stopped talking, and his lowered eyebrows seemed to soften a little.

Qianye took a sip of tea, suddenly felt an ice line in his stomach, and after shivering, he was instantly refreshed.

"Tell me why you're here. It wasn't until now that the conversation between the two was on topic.

"I promised Carol that I would fight for a piece of territory for her. Now there was an opportunity, I needed her help, and correspondingly, after the victory in the war, her desire for the territory was half realized. ”

"Territory...... "Arkfield's eyebrows moved, and he seemed to care quite much about the word, "Where is it, how big?"

"Strictly speaking, it can only be said to be a permission to occupy territory. After this battle, we will get a lot of military merit in the Great Qin Empire. Based on this, future conquests on the periphery of the empire would be tacitly approved, and perhaps even supported by the empire. Of course, this is the official explanation for this kind of permission, and there is nothing to expect from Daqin's support, as long as it does not interfere. ”

Akefil pondered in silence, apparently already moving.

There are twenty-seven main continents in the world of eternal night, and twenty-three have been discovered, which seems to be vast, but in fact there are very few completely empty areas that have not been discovered. The continents closest to the asteroid belt at the top of the world have not been able to reach even the Council of Eternal Night, which has existed for more than 10,000 years. The Upper Continent is the traditional territory of various dark races, and many of the land blocks are extremely special and not suitable for people outside of a certain race.

The environment of the middle continent is the most universal, but most of the fertile territory and rich resources have been occupied by the Eternal Night Council and the Great Qin Empire. It is not uncommon for small countries to be small, and neutral forces are not uncommon, but in the final analysis, there are intricate tentacles behind them that extend to one or both sides, and true independence is absolutely impossible.

The rise and expansion of Great Qin is a unique miracle in this world. Looking at the founding time of those small countries close to the periphery of the empire, all of them were the most turbulent periods in the history of Great Qin. It can be seen that whether it is the Eternal Night Camp or the Dawn Camp, there is no difference in the control methods of some things.

Akfil knew that it was difficult to open up the territory, and it was even more difficult to defend the territory, and if it could be recognized by the Empire, it would be a feasible path. Even if you don't count on support, you can alleviate the hostility of the behemoth on one side.

Qianye was also looking at Akfield, a little strange in his heart, sometimes he seemed to care about his sister very much, but now, in his mind, a piece of territory seemed to far surpass Carol's status.

Akfil suddenly came to his senses and realized that Thousand Nights was still around. He smiled wryly and said, "You have also seen that this land is not suitable for survival at all. If it continues, the people will only get fewer and fewer, because they will not survive even if they are weaker. But if we can have a territory, we can let the less powerful people live, and then our clan will no longer have to face the fate of extinction. ”

Qianye was a little puzzled, "Isn't there still a large open space in the neutral land, with the strength of the Frost Thunder Temple, how can you grab a large piece of territory?"

Akfil shook his head, "The environment of the Neutral Land is not suitable for my people, in comparison, this is the place where we can adapt to it. ”

A flash of inspiration flashed in Qianye's mind, and he stood up and said, "You are demon descendants!"
