Chapter 230 Chapter 20 The Legend of the Ice Palace
"Mintae, Mintae, where have you been!" In a daze, Sparker heard Renault's shouting voice, and reluctantly opened his hazy sleepy eyes, Sparker only felt a headache, "Hey, it seems that this hangover really hurts!" When he fully woke up, he saw that many Bantu people in the square were shouting something, and there was actually Renault among them.
"Uncle Renault, what are you doing early in the morning?" asked Spark, walking up to Renault.
"Mintai, Mintai is gone!" At this time, Renault was looking anxious, and then saw that Sparker was still puzzled and hurriedly explained: "After waking up this morning, I found that all the children under the age of ten of my Bantu tribe were gone, and at first I thought they were playing together, but I didn't find the Bantu territory after rummaging through the whole world, no, our children's families are looking for it!"
"What? How could this happen?" Sparker realized the seriousness of the problem, and then said, "It can't be that some traffickers took the kids away while we were all drunk!"
"This can't be!" Renault shook his head and said affirmatively, "Although we are all drunk, the Bantu are all upright people, it is impossible for that kind of scum to appear, and as for outsiders with a ridge of defense, it is impossible for outsiders to come in without us knowing!"
Listening to Renault's analysis, Sparky also nodded, after all, even if the ice giant Liku suddenly attacked and turned all the Bantu warriors on the ridge defense line into ice sculptures, there were still escaped Bantu warriors who came back to ask for help, and it was impossible for outsiders to sneak into Bantu territory unknowingly.
After thinking for a while, Sparker asked, "Then Uncle Renault, since he is not a native or an outsider, is it possible that there is a threat to the 10,000-year-old snow-capped mountain itself?"
"What are you talking about?" Renault suddenly seemed to have a sudden realization when he heard Spark's words, pulled Sparky up and ran, and said as he ran: "Come with me to Orka, if it is really as you said, then the disappearance of these children can be explained, but I don't fully understand the specifics, so let's go and verify the information with Orka!"
"Okay, but Uncle Renault, if you take me by the hand and run, people will think that we are playing back to the mountain!" Although Sparker complained, Renault at this time did not have the leisure to scruple at all and directly filtered out Spark's words, and when Renault and Sparker came to Orka's residence, they found that Orka was also frowning, and after seeing Renault and Spark, he said with a solemn face: "Looking at your appearance, I should also think of that, I analyzed it carefully just now, it seems that it may have been her for a long time!"
"However, she only exists in legends, how can she suddenly turn from a legend into reality, how can this be good!" Mintae's always made Renault already panic.
"Wait!" Spark, seeing that the two of them were about to play dumb riddles again, hurriedly said in a loud voice, "What the hell is that you talking about, what is that going on with her?
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Orka patted his head this time and said embarrassedly, "I forgot that the Sparker brothers didn't know the legend just now, so I'll explain it to you first!"
Subsequently, according to Orka, the Principality of Bell in the 10,000-year-old Snow Mountain was originally migrated by the Bantu tribe in order to escape the influence of the magic of the ice dragon Skasa, and there has been a legend in this Principality of Bell. Since moving to the land of the Duchy of Bell, the Bantu people have begun to pass down a folk song from generation to generation, "The Song of Rose", which sings about a pure maiden who built a beautiful ice palace in her sleep and lived happily in it, but the second half of this ballad hides some eerie stories, and just like many children like to build sand castles out of sand, Bantu children like to build palaces out of ice and snow. Sometimes, even dreams of beautiful palaces made of snow and ice. And the Bantu people will say every time they scare their children to go to bed: "No, disobedient children will be locked up in the ice palace in their dreams, and they will never be able to go out to play again!" As for why they are so frightened by children, it is actually because the so-called ice palace does exist in the legend of the "Song of the Silk Road".
"There are legends like this, but these are just legends, how could they suddenly become a reality at this time," Sparker said after listening to Orka's brief introduction.
"Remember those monster legions?" Orka's worried expression overflowed, and then said: "Those monsters originally lived in their own lairs or gathering places and never came out to interfere with my Bantu people, but the ice dragon Skassa, who was supposed to be asleep, woke up for some reason, the magic of the ice dragon Skasa will make many things change, which is why my Bantu tribe migrated in the first place, I suspect that the sudden awakening of the ice dragon Skasa this time has made its magic affect here, not only those weekdays." The sudden attack on us by the monster that 'keeps to ourselves' may well make that legend come true!"
"I'm so awesome?" Sparker sighed, and then hurriedly asked, "Since it's likely that the legend caused the disappearance of the children, let's hurry up and rescue them!"
"If it were that easy, I would have gone a long time ago!" Shaking his head helplessly, Orka said, "The Ice Palace only exists in children's dreams, and we can't enter it at all!"
"Are we just going to sit back and wait?" shouted Spark, a little anxiously, and if nothing else, that cute Mintai was something that Sparker could easily put down.
"There's another way!" Renault suddenly spoke, looked at Spark, and said, "Since the Ice Palace is caused by the magic influence of the ice dragon Skasa, then we must also use the magic of the ice dragon Skasa, little brother Spark, it seems that this time I will trouble you again!"
"Well, well, since I'm a member of the Bantu tribe, how can I help and not care?" Sparker patted his chest, and then asked a little weakly, "It's just, how can I help?"
"With the Ice Crystal Flower!" Renault said, "The Ice Crystal Flower is transformed by the magic of the Ice Dragon Skasa, which is why it is called the Ice Dragon Crystal, and if you have the Ice Crystal Flower, you should be able to enter the Ice Palace!"
"Eh" Sparker suddenly had a bad premonition, and then asked cautiously, "Do you want me to dream of that ice palace before I can enter?"
"Exactly!" Unexpectedly, Orka and Renault said in unison.
"But, where did I sleep!" Sparker shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "I just woke up!"
"It's okay!" Renault and Orca brought Sparkla to the table, then took out a large jar of mare's milk wine and said, "If you can't sleep, you drink, and if you drink too much, you will fall asleep!"
"Oh, I'll go, I said why I had a bad premonition just now, and my feelings are here!" Sparker wanted to defend a few words, but was directly interrupted by Renault and Orka's next move. I saw Orka restrain Spark's head and forcibly open Spark's mouth, while Renault lifted the jar and poured wine directly into Spark's mouth, "Goo, goo!" Sparker rolled his eyes after a while, and when the two jars of mare's milk wine were finished, Sparker fell asleep.
"Oh no, if Little Brother Sparker hadn't dreamed of the Ice Palace, wouldn't we have to wait until he sobered up before we could continue?" said Renault with a sudden thought of a crucial anxiousness.
"It's okay," Orka said calmly, "we just need to wait for half an hour to see if the ice crystal flower emits any magical fluctuations peculiar to the ice dragon Skasa, and if not, wake up the Sparky brothers and fall back asleep." ”
As we all know, dreams are very difficult to control, and Sparker is naturally not so lucky to dream of the so-called ice palace for the first time, so Renault and Orka wake up Sparky again and again, and drunk Sparker again and again, which is simply miserable if it seems to outsiders
