Chapter 19: The Seth Iceberg and the Dark Abyss
As we all know, elves and dragons are natural allies, and the friendship between the two races dates back to ancient times, and it is because of this friendship that the two races have survived countless wars to this day, and many of the most prosperous races, even demigods, have disappeared into the long river of history.

Naturally, there is no need to say much about the importance of the dragon clan to the elves, but in fact, there is another race, although it seems ordinary, but its importance to the elves is not much lower than that of the dragons, that is, the horned eagles, without them, the elves can be said to have lost the sky.
Duke was riding the Hippogriff for the first time, and it had an elaborate saddle made by the elves that felt secure and comfortable to sit on.
Vian reached out again and hugged the neck of the horned eagle, whispered something in its ear, then jumped on its back, and with a gentle flick of the reins, the horned eagle screamed twice, flapped its two huge wings, and took the two of them into the air smoothly.
Duke looked down and found that the houses of the White Lake tribe were exquisite and neat, with waterfalls in the mountain stream in the west and the Xingyue Valley in the east, and the scenery was very beautiful.
At this time, Wei An turned his head and asked, "Are you ready?"
Duke lifted the saddle and nodded.
Vian smiled and patted the horned eagle beast's neck, its wings flicked rapidly, and it circled around the tribe before speeding north.
The horned eagle beast flapped its wings infrequently, but the speed was extremely fast, Duke only felt that the mountain peaks and trees under his feet were rapidly approaching and flying by, and in just a few minutes, the White Lake tribe could no longer be seen, and the white lake behind the tribe looked only the size of a mirror.
Compared to the whole day in the forest for months, the vision is now incomparably wider, and for Duke, this is the freedom from the constraints of the earth!
Savoring the joy of freedom, Duke thought that when the druid's transformation reached a high realm, he could also transform into a bird and fly freely in the sky, and he had another yearning.
When he thought of flying, he thought of the title of his teacher Moria "Flying Wing", which means that he has the ability to fly, but the teacher is good at the arcane art of the stars and moons, and his title "Flying Wings" is naturally not the way of wild change, but from a secret technique of the stars and the moon "Avina's Feather" that he has comprehended.
Once "Avina's Feather" is used, you can get a pair of moonlight wings given by the moon god, which can give him the ability to fly for a period of time, of course, the biggest effect of this moon wing is to increase the power of the star and moon arcane, and it is a powerful secret technique that can only be comprehended by having a deep understanding of the star and moon arcane, but when it comes to flight ability, it still can't be compared with the transformed bird - each transformation of the druid can not only learn all the abilities of the transformation, but will eventually be stronger than the original form.
He was in a reverie when Vian handed over a handful of nuts, and he didn't think much about it, just peeled them and ate them.
After a while, Vian reached over with his empty hand, and he was stunned for a moment, and put the husk peel in the palm of her hand.
Wei An retracted his hand and looked at it, turned around and fell on top of him, and then glared at him angrily and said, "I asked you to skin me, and you actually ate it all!"
Duke: "......"
If she doesn't explain, how does he know what she's going to do?
But he didn't panic.
First knocked off the husks on her clothes, then took out a wooden box from her backpack, took out a clean cloth bag, asked her to stretch out her hand, and poured some peeled nuts in her hands.
Wei An said curiously while eating: "Hey, when did you peel so much?" and then saw that he was going to put them away, she hurriedly said again: "Don't take it, give it all to me!"
Duke said, "That's not going to work, I'll have to trade them for money!"
He is not a child who doesn't know anything, and he knows that it will definitely cost money to go to the Elf King City to study, so he exchanged all the harvest of that month for gold coins last night, and went to Cook to sell the recipe of the crystal moon cake for two hundred gold, so that he has four hundred and twenty gold on him, but he is not at ease, so he simply brought some raw materials, and when the time comes, he can exchange money for money - with the elf's habit of liking food and beauty, the crystal moon cake will definitely be sold for a good price, and it will not delay his study time.
Wei An said disdainfully, "Did you grow up with those old dragons, or do you have a goblin teacher in secret?"
Duke smiled and said, "I'll peel it for you, it's still fresh to eat." ”
Wei An snorted and said, "Okay, you have to peel it faster, if you are lazy, I won't give you the gift that the teacher asked me to transfer to you, and then I will say that I forgot it!"
Duke didn't expect the gift that the teacher had prepared for him, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said, "Did the teacher still prepare a gift for me?"
Vian didn't speak, just reached over his shoulder with his hand upside down, and Duke smiled and placed the peeled nuts in her hand.
On this day, Duke was not idle, but Vian did not just eat, but also told him some geographical knowledge along the way, as well as several post stations and strongholds built by the White Lake tribe, and told him some stories about the royal city, which was a year younger than him, but had already been to the royal city twice.
They flew over seven White Lake Tribe strongholds in one day, but because they didn't time them right, they had to camp on a hillside when they landed.
Duke had spent most of his time in the wild since coming to this world, and he had long been accustomed to camping, but today, perhaps because of Vian's presence, he didn't rush to sleep and rest for the first time.
This mountain is higher than all the mountains they pass along the way, and the view of the place where they camp is extraordinarily open, especially at night, the stars in the sky seem to be within reach, and then sit and watch the wind and trees under the mountain, like waves, there is an indescribable magnificence!
After inspecting the camp again, Sheng Wang added a campfire with animal repellent herbs, and after confirming that it was safe, he turned into a bear and lay down in front of the tent door, saying, "Sleep, good night!"
Wei An was not as spicy as usual, and rarely replied gently: "Good night." ”
The next day, as he flew over the mountain, Duke was struck by what he saw, for the first time in his life, he saw a mountain range that seemed to be in touch with the sky, and was made entirely of pure snow and ice, as far as the eye could see, from top to bottom, and a large area around it was covered with snow-white snow and ice!
Almost at the same time, Duke also felt the obvious temperature difference in front of and behind the mountain.
Wei An hugged his shoulders and said with some disgust: "Then, it's the Seth Iceberg." ”
Duke had heard of it, but it was still different from seeing it with his own eyes, and he couldn't help but look at it, even though the sunlight reflected from so far away was a little dazzling.
At this time, Vian pressed the horned eagle beast to land, Duke looked at her, and she frowned and explained: "Don't look at me, there are often snow eagles guarding the iceberg near the Seth Iceberg, they are the pets of the ice and snow goddess, if we fly in front of them, we are vulnerable to their attacks!"
Duke nodded in understanding, moreover, he also knew that elves were still a very cold race, and the places where they lived were generally warm and humid jungles, except for the most powerful era six thousand years ago, when there were elves living everywhere on the continent of Elukiel, but that was because the elves' artifact "Well of the Sun" had not been destroyed at that time, and elves could practice magic, and magic could change the environment.
Unable to fly, their speed slowed down, and Vian began to fulfill his duty to resupply the strongholds along the way - this was the apparent reason for Vian to send him.
In order to avoid the core area of the Seth Iceberg, they could only make a large circle, and it took them two and a half days to get out, and at this time, Duke vaguely guessed that the teacher's intention to explore the mud swamp located in the west was probably to find a more convenient way to the Elven King's City.
This is very necessary, not to mention that the speed of the flight is faster than the ground, and it makes sense to have an extra traffic channel alone.
After getting out of the iceberg, they were able to fly on the horned eagle beast again, and at this time, Duke saw a shocking scene, and he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart: he saw that in the middle of the forest in front of him, there was a "river" that originated under the Seth Iceberg and was like a chemical plant sewage pipe seen in his previous life, extending to the east, in this forest full of life, it was so obvious, and dozens of miles away, as a druid, he felt instinctive disgust.
"What's that?"
Wei An frowned, and his tone was full of disgust: "That's the part of the dark abyss that is exposed to the ground!"
There are eleven areas on the continent of Elukil that can be called forbidden areas for life, and the Dark Abyss is one of them, and it is naturally in the memory of the original owner, but isn't it underground?
As if understanding his doubts, Vian explained: "You know, although it is underground, because the thickness of the surface and the environment are different, it is inevitable that some darkness and death will overflow - but don't worry, the great druid of our clan has sealed it, and the powerful monsters inside can't escape!"
Duke went to see the Seth Iceberg again, and for some reason, it felt like it was there, as if it was to suppress the dark abyss, otherwise, with the surrounding environment, its appearance always felt abrupt.
As they spoke, they quickly arrived at the last stronghold of the White Lake Tribe.
