Chapter 5: The Kingdom of Ice and Snow [Asking for Recommendation]

Just as the orc warlock resurrected the dragon, Jack and Dom finished their day's work. After work, the work was handed over to the apprentice he had replaced, but Dom took advantage of the fact that no one was looking, and secretly took away two magic crystals the size of a fist.

"Hey, Jack, here's for you!" After walking a long way out of the magic teleportation tower, and after turning a few more corners, and seeing that there was no one on the left and right, Dom took out a magic crystal and handed it to Jack.

A magic crystal as big as a fist is enough to exchange for 100 gold coins. This is not a small amount of income, the income of ordinary people living at the bottom of society for a lifetime.

When Jack saw this familiar magic spar, he shook his head helplessly and said: "These things are counted, and how much we use and how much we replace every day have strict records, I believe it won't be long before someone finds out, for the sake of safety, I think you should put it back." ”

Seeing Jack's worried look, Dom replied quite confidently, "Don't worry, they won't find out." Because the magic crystals in the inventory are equal to those in the accounts. I promise they'll never find out!"

Dom's mysterious appearance made Jack a little speechless.

"Then keep it for yourself! I'm not short of money. Jack declined Dom's kindness, whether he wanted to use the magic crystal to gag his mouth or share it with himself, Jack was not interested in getting his hands on the magic crystal.

Jack's rejection of his kindness made Dom think a little, "Is he really rich, or is he afraid that he will be affected in case of the East Window incident?"

"Don't worry, even if something happens, I'll take it on my own! I promise it won't affect you. "Dom really wanted to give this friend to himself. Although Jack doesn't like to communicate with people on weekdays, he often goes alone, and sometimes even when the magician in the magic tower takes the initiative to talk to him, he only responds with a simple sentence or two.

But Dom knew that Jack was a sincere man, he didn't like to play tricks like other apprentices, and he was always lazy when he worked! The magic tower is 70 meters high, and sometimes apprentices who have a good relationship with the magician don't want to go up to the top, after all, they have to climb the stairs layer by layer, which is real manual labor. So they bought off the magician and asked Jack and Dom to climb to the upper floors to maintain and replace the magic crystals. Jack never complained, and every time he did his best! Dom asked Jack more than once, aren't you angry? Jack just smiled, but never complained.

"I appreciate your kindness, I really don't lack money, thank you Dom. Jack said calmly. Dom came here to work for his own living expenses, and Jack came here to crack the magic teleportation circle.

There are a total of 7 magic teleportation towers in the human race, all of which were built by elves! Jack has completed three years of events that humans in this world have not been able to accomplish for thousands of years.

The reason why the humans here have not been able to grasp the secrets of this magic array is that it is first of all carved and written in the ancient elven language, which is only mastered by a few people even among the elves. Second, the tower itself has been encrypted by the elves, and the reason why the elves do this is to prevent such high-end technology from falling into the hands of humans. However, at that time, in order to help humans quickly assemble troops, the magic teleportation tower was the most effective way. Build for them, even if they risk top-notch technology falling into human hands, because the elves crave this ally's army!

And in Jack's opinion, it's not so much a magic array as a super perverted Rubik's Cube. On the earth, an ordinary Rubik's Cube of the 3rd order, it would take at least half a day for an ordinary person to restore it, or even several days, and someone would not be able to restore it. And this magic array is like a Rubik's Cube of tens of thousands of levels, if they just rely on manpower, it is difficult to imagine when they will be able to solve this math problem. This also reflects from the side how perverted the mathematical knowledge of the elves is!

The magic tower is 70 meters high, it is like a hollow cylinder, and every meter high wall is carved with tens of thousands of ancient magic runes of elves, and hundreds of thousands of magic crystals are inlaid on the runes to provide magical energy. Whenever the magic circle is activated, the words on the walls will rotate in parallel and faster.

The moment the magic circle activates the teleportation, it is the 'real body' of the magic array. Luckily, Jack is from another world, and he has super eyes and a high-speed camera that this world doesn't have!

It was this high-speed camera that allowed him to record the entire magic array in the three years he had been working, and input it into his computer for programming and cracking. To the people of this world, it is the highest level of magic, but for Jack it is a very difficult number problem. Fortunately, with the cooperation of the computer, he succeeded!

Dom saw that Jack refused and no longer insisted on it, after all, it was reasonable for people to refuse such a thing that could bring him to prison.

After the two men separated, Dom cautiously went to the black market to sell his two magic crystals, while Jack returned to his place in this world.

It is a halfway point of the mountain overlooking the whole city, and it belongs to the wealthy area. Jack doesn't usually come here often, but stays in cheap hotels in the city. But today he was going back to pick up some important things, because the butler Fred had sent a message, and someone had sent a few miscellaneous books about the wild history of the Ice and Snow Kingdom.

Before he went to the Academy of Magic, Jack was a businessman. And the strange things he brought with him deeply fascinated the world. In order to ship quickly and in large quantities, Jack has become partners with many local merchants. Because only in this way is it possible to recover costs in large quantities. When Jack returns to Earth with the world's gold coins, his fortune swells.

When he could no longer return to Earth, Jack chose to retire! Although the supply channel was cut off, there were still many merchants who kept in touch with Jack. They also longed for the day when Jack would still bring them wealth.

When I learned that Jack liked to read some history, biographies, and miscellaneous stories. Many merchants spontaneously collected what they could for Jack.

Of course, you can't get your hands on something that is easy to buy on the market. For this reason, many merchants have mobilized their own connections, looking for books from all over the human kingdom that interest him. But as time passed, a year, two, three years later, they became less and less able to find something.

But this time it was different, and the housekeeper said: "This is the diary and letter of a pair of lovers in the Ice and Snow Kingdom. This almost proves that the Ice Kingdom really exists, and not just a legend!"

When he returned to his residence, the housekeeper informed him that the books had been placed in the study. Jack took a shower and changed his clothes before coming to his study. On the table in the study room was a worn-out book made of leather and wrapped with rope.

Untie the rope and flip over the heavy cover. Rows of delicate fonts are presented in Jack's eyes. "From this day forward, I will record my thoughts that have nowhere to put in the days without you!" a quote signed by Lilian appeared before Jack's eyes.

The distant sea breeze blew the curtains and blew into the book-filled study, with a faint salty smell.

Jack spent the whole afternoon flipping through the old journal in his hand, which had been heavily yellowed.

The diary vividly records a newly married 'girl'. In the text, from the trivial daily life, to the longing for the husband who did not return from the expedition, to the latest new things in the kingdom, almost everything. She even carefully wrote down the recipes of each delicacy on it, and also described in detail how a clumsy kitchen 'arsonist girl' transformed into a qualified home chef!

The 'Maiden' in the diary had just gotten married, but on the same day, her husband accompanied the expeditionary force to defeat their old enemy, the Ice Fortress, the ancient capital of the Snow Bear Orcs! The Snow Bear Orcs are highly intelligent bear-like humanoids that live in the polar ice and snow world all year round, and the diary describes them in great detail. Although they are called beasts by humans, they have a high degree of civilization and a strict social hierarchy. It can even be compared to the early human society of the tribal period.

Originally, the polar region has been the territory of snow bear orcs for thousands of years, but I don't know when a human migrants who traveled north broke into their homeland. In the midst of snow and ice, food is already scarce. The arrival of humanity has plunged each other into an existential crisis.

In order to drive away these intruders and defend their homeland, the Snow Bear Orcs took up arms and launched a war against the Ice Kingdom.

Many, many years have passed, the war is still going on, and it seems that humanity has slowly become accustomed to and familiar with the laws of survival in this land. Every year before the cold of winter, humans store food to survive the winter. But this year, the harvest of human beings in the wild is very limited, in order to survive. The queen of the Ice Kingdom has ordered the human army to rob the snow bear orcs for the winter!

Due to the unpredictability of war, Lilian for love, in order to give a stable heart to the man he loves. They announced their marriage on the day of their departure and received the blessing of their families.

However, until the last page of the diary, there is no record of the happiness of their life together. Lilian's husband didn't make it back alive, all he brought back was the Ice Lotus necklace she had given him with an inscription that symbolized pure love!

This is a love story of ordinary ordinary people, and this is a dusty little touch in this fantasy world. However, Jack was moved to find something in his diary that he had been longing for for a long time.

The diary contains a picture of the Snow Queen encouraging her soldiers to go on the expedition. Even in that diary, there is a full-length portrait of the Snow Queen.

The queen is noble, cold, beautiful and moving! However, when Jack saw the necklace around the Ice Queen's neck, he was speechless with excitement.

The ornament hanging on the necklace is very similar to the jade piece in Jack's hand that can travel through time and space, and even the lines and words on it are almost half the same.

In the human world, there is such a legend.

After the humans and the orcs attacked the sacred mountain of the elves. On the way home from the end of the war. One of the human troops broke away from the army and headed to the far north. It was only later that the kings of the human race learned that they had escaped from the army because they had received a peerless treasure from the elves. In order to monopolize this treasure, they chose to abandon their homeland and reopen a new territory.

The kings were furious, and as they regrouped their armies against the betrayers, winter had arrived in the far north, and bitter winds and a never-ending blizzard had stopped the army.

When the human army tried to march north again the following summer, it was no longer possible to find the whereabouts of the betrayer. And at this time, the alliance between the orcs and humans has broken down!

The kings, who could not afford to be distracted, could only regard that treasure as a legend.

Slowly, over time. The army of the betrayer has been slowly forgotten in human society, and only occasionally there is a legend of an ice kingdom in the streets!
