Chapter 20: Frost Valley (1)
At the junction of the frozen tundra and the Far Eastern Empire, there is a huge valley that has been cracked, and because of the influence of the low terrain, the snow melted from the frozen tundra merges into a small stream, which runs from northwest to southeast, forming a valley that does not freeze all year round. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info hundreds of meters high on both sides of the valley, there is still the frost of the frozen tundra, but the valley is very warm because of the geothermal heat.
Legend has it that the ancestors of the dwarves settled here and made a contract with the gods for 10,000 years, the dwarven ancestors believed in fire and war hammers for generations, they were violent by nature, but loyal and honest, no people in this world loved ale more than the dwarves, they used the barley they planted to make mellow wine, and drank it in the snowy winter, without getting drunk. They do not participate in inter-ethnic battles, they are a race that advocates peace and freedom, even if they fought with the demons thousands of years ago, the dwarves did not participate in it, but this does not mean that the dwarves are weak, their size is indeed like a dwarf, but the strength of the dwarves is far stronger than that of humans, they can easily wield an eighty-kilogram hammer, the war hammer is their favorite weapon, an army of dwarves, can destroy the solid fortress of human beings in one day.
They forge the strongest armor in the world, forge powerful weapons with the best mines and holy gold, each dwarf has a lifespan of about eight hundred years, and an adult dwarf can defeat three high-ranking knights of the empire, they are natural warriors, but they are more passionate about peace than any race.
Frost Valley.
The dwarf, who was silent in comfort and tranquility, was woken up by a sudden shout, holding a rolled meatloaf in his hand, the old dwarf who had not yet taken a bite was knocked to the ground by the reckless dwarf who rushed over in a panic, and the thick reading glasses fell on the grass beside him, and the old dwarf pulled for a long time before he found his glasses from the grass and put them on.
"Patriarch Ignaz, oh no, the demon of Orlando has appeared, and our friends who went to the frozen tundra have all been killed by it!" Tony cried loudly as he hugged the old dwarf.
The old dwarf Ignaz's hands trembled and he glared at Tony.
"Don't talk nonsense, the Frost Dragon has been gone for three hundred years! Tony, are you in trouble again?"
"It's true, I've seen them frozen in the tundra, and if it weren't for the help of humans, who escaped the Frost Dragon, I'd have died on the ice plain!" Tony wiped away his tears and pointed to Amon behind him, "It's this brave human, and his companions...... She was badly injured trying to save us!"
The old dwarf Ignaz raised his head and stared at the stranger in front of him with a solemn expression: "...... Human, really human," his gaze fell on Xana, who was held by Amon, his face changed, and he said, "Quickly put her down, I can feel the rapid loss of life force in her body!"
"Please treat her, as many gold coins as you want, I will meet all your requests. Amon said earnestly.
The old dwarf pushed him away, his wrinkled hand was on Xana's forehead, and the green light lit up in the palm of his hand, this kind of high-level healing magic, even the great magicians in humans may not use it, it is similar to the forbidden magic in humans, those green lights are not normal energy, it is the life force floating in the air, and it is the most basic substance that supports the normal survival of living beings.
Life force is the foundation of the survival of living beings, want to use this power, and manipulate the life and death of creatures, this kind of magic violates the bottom line of human beings, it is listed as one of the ten forbidden magic, human beings who practice this magic, will be wanted by the magic guild for the rest of their lives, it is not allowed to create, and not allowed to use magic.
The green light floated, and a steady stream of life force condensed from the old dwarf Ignaz's palm and crossed into Xana's body, and it took a while for Ignaz to withdraw his hand and look at the woman's still pale cheeks.
"Carry her into the house. ”
The old dwarf Ignaz beckoned, pushed open the wooden door, and led several people into the house.
This small room, I don't know how many old books are hidden, and on the other side of the room is an apothecary room, where magic potions of various colors are placed.
The old dwarf pushed open the scattered books on the window and motioned for Amon to put Xana on the bed.
"She used arcane magic beyond the ranks, and the 'source' was hit hard and her mana was depleted, and for a magician, if the mana of the 'source' was depleted, it would mean death. The old dwarf said: "Fortunately, she is a human with dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, and her fighting spirit fills the emptiness of her body and retains some of her remaining vitality...... You're too late! A day earlier, I could have repaired the damaged source so that the life force could return to her, and now she was on her own, and if she was strong enough, she could still survive. ”
"Is it life-threatening?" Amon asked worriedly.
"She was so weak, and the cold invaded her lungs, and even if she survived, she would be sick, and the cold would stay with her for the rest of her life, and torture her to death...... Of course, if you can find some suitable creatures, I can extract some of their life force to replenish its weak body. ”
"With my life force," Amon stretched out an arm, "she became like this in order to save us, I have a responsibility, and I am willing to provide my life force." ”
"Are you sure you want to do this to extract the life force of the human race? Young man, you may catch the cold and suffer from the same disease as her. ”
"I cultivate the fire attribute fighting qi, which can dispel the cold qi, if you can, please cross the cold qi in her body into my body as well...... I'm willing to bear all the consequences after this, please help me. ”
Before he could finish speaking, the door was suddenly slammed open, and two green-haired adult elves burst in, armed with bows and arrows, full of bowstrings, and aimed sharp arrows at Amon.
"Ignaz, you actually let humans enter here, this cunning race will definitely bring us disaster!"
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have believed that elves actually lived under the same roof as dwarves, and since the elves fought with humans, there were almost no elves in this world who could fight...... It was the dwarves of the Frost Valley who took in the wandering elves and allowed them to take refuge here.
Ignaz, the old dwarf, waved his hand: "Calm down, Goliath, Hatton." ”
"Elves can't tolerate the evil deeds committed by humans, even if you stop us, it's useless, I'm going to kill this human. Goliath glared at Amon viciously and said, "No matter how much you persuade me, it's useless, here, there is only one elf and human to live!"
"Yes, they have committed an intolerable sin against the elves!" said Hatton.
The old dwarf Ignaz frowned and sighed.
Human beings enslave the elves, kill the elves, just on the eternal battlefield, nearly a million elves have died in battle, the attack of the Dick kingdom has caused the elves to lose their homes and land, and lose the big forest on which they live, how can these elves not hate humans, they want to kill all humans.
Ignaz said: "Hatred has blinded your eyes, this is not what an elf should say, and with me you cannot do it. ”
Goliath said viciously, "If you stop us, the elves would rather leave here than kill them!" His eyes were as sharp as falcons, full of bowstrings, and he didn't hesitate to let go of his hand.
Shout!
A hand that came out of the air pinched the arrow, which was only a finger's distance from Amun, almost piercing Amun's skull.
The old dwarf glanced coldly at the two elves, and shouted angrily: "Get out!" dare to shoot your arrows in front of the patriarch of the frost dwarves, do you think that what Ignaz said is air!"
The enraged old dwarf shook the two elves away with a throat like a brass bell.
The door was closed again, and the old dwarf Ignaz reined in his anger before turning his gaze to the silent Amun.
Only the old dwarf Ignaz felt the 'qi' emanating from this blonde man, that terrifying aura, only a human who survived in front of death was qualified to have, if this man wanted to, he could kill two elves in an instant.
"Young man, I hope you can understand that Goliath and Hatton are my guests. ”
"I know that the feud between elves and humans has not stopped since the great war a hundred years ago...... I can understand their behavior and don't take it to heart. Amon said, "Ignaz, can I get started? I still have a lot of work to do, my children are still on the ice field, and I have a bad feeling that I have to pick them up as soon as possible." ”
"A human being, and ...... Elve?"
Amon was amazed that the dwarf could read what he was thinking, and nodded, "Yes." ”
Ignatz, the old dwarf, said, "You have their scent, Tony, and pass the news to the elves, they will not sit idly by...... Bring some frost dwarves and don't let the elves hurt the human child. ”
Tony jumped up and said, "Orlando's demons are also on the ice field!"
"Take the teleportation scroll, find the children, and use the teleportation scroll back to the village. ”
Tony took the scroll from the old dwarf and ran out again.
When the door was closed, Amon solemnly bowed to the old dwarf and said, "Thank you for your help." ”
"You saved Tony, and the dwarves will not ignore the safety of their benefactors," the old dwarf Ignaz waved his hand, and said, "You should know the price of extracting life force...... All the life force taken away will greatly reduce your lifespan. ”
"I know. ”
The old dwarf Ignaz admired the man a little, and said, "Is she your lover? Human love is so great, no dwarf would do it for other dwarves." ”
Amon smiled and said, "No, she's my captain and a very good friend. ”
"Oh, I see...... The power of friendship will sublimate your character, young man, and I appreciate you. ”
"These are things I should have done compared to her sacrifices. ”
The old dwarf Ignaz silently recited the incantation, and soon, the green light lit up in the room, and the life force continued to overflow from Amon's chest, and these green lights formed an arc, constantly pouring into Xana's body, replenishing Xana's lost vitality little by little.
"Hold her hand. ”
"Hmm. ”
The two hands were held together, and there was a cold touch in the palms, some silky and indescribably slender.
The cold that can be seen by the naked eye floats up from Xia Na's chest, and a trace of it escapes into Amun's body along his arm, and the old dwarf can't get rid of all the cold air, so he can only cross part of it into Amon's body, so as to save Xia Na's life.
A trace of cold sensation passed from the arm into the body, the unconscious woman on the bed, the subtle and shallow breathing, and the slow heartbeat, clearly transmitted to Amon's brain, he looked at Xana, and his mind couldn't help but remember the moment when she released the magic, she was so strong, she risked her life, and she was not afraid of death at all.
This woman is really stubborn and impersonal.
