Chapter 445: Rylai
When the two young wolves saw Rylai, they were still in the wombs of their mother, who had just died from the extreme cold.
The wolf's den, which had been able to shelter most of the cold winds, was useless, as if Rylai was the heart of the blizzard, and the closer they got to them, the more they shivered.
However, at this time, Lilai is just a little girl, even if her arrival is devastating for the snow wolf clan, her face is still full of child's innocence and childishness, and it seems that this child should not be blamed at all.
"I was discarded by my mom and dad. ”
Lylai whispered something in a language that the young wolves didn't understand, and slowly walked into the wolf's den, crouching down in front of them, all the snow particles on their foreheads. They could not leave the she-wolf, and in order to dodge, they hurriedly closed their eyes and tried to retract their heads under the she-wolf's belly.
Rylai removed the backpack she was carrying, took some water and food from it, and placed it in front of the wolf cub.
But how did she know that these two wolf cubs with hair had not yet fully grown and their teeth had not yet sharpened, so they could only drink breast milk, and where could they bite hard dry food.
Rylai surveyed her surroundings, and she was not at all afraid of what the cave was about, even though it was all wolves. It was as if she knew the wolves were dead.
In fact, if you look at it for a while, you can see that the chests and abdomen of these wolves do not rise and fall, and their noses no longer exhale hot air, and they are all dead. Not all the wolves in this den, there are also those who are wandering outside, and they have also died in this blizzard.
Realizing that she was wrong, Rylai began to feel sorry for the two only surviving wolf cubs instead of feeling sorry for what had happened to her.
Rylai tore the rations into very small pieces and sat on the other side of the young wolves, watching them quietly until they came out to eat the food.
It was dark and bright, bright and dark, and the young wolf did not come out for a long time to eat food or drink a sip of water. Lylai didn't know how many times she had fallen asleep and woken up, and after taking out the food to feed herself, the two young wolves reluctantly crawled out from under the already cold she-wolf carcass, either to drink water or to eat.
I must be hungry to the limit, hungry and hungry.
The simple staple food of human beings, for wolves who are still in their infancy, tastes very bad, they simply take two sips, and then they don't eat it, and the same is true of water, in such a cold environment, it has long been as cold as ice, and even people don't want to drink it, how can they swallow it.
Rylai felt that she couldn't just stay here, that if she didn't find another food, she would starve to death, and so would the two wolf cubs.
She couldn't leave the two wolf cubs behind, they had lost their parents and their families because of their arrival, and if they left like this, they would also die.
But she couldn't take the two wolf cubs to the warmer places of the south, it would be of no avail. Rylai's parents exiled her to this extreme north region because of the characteristics of Rylai's body, no matter where she went, that place would turn into ice and snow.
Rylai glanced at the two wolf cubs and got up to leave the wolf's den, looking for some suitable food for the young wolves on the ice field.
When it was dark again, Lylai returned, holding an ice cube in her hand, and in the ice cube, an ice rabbit was frozen. Rylai put the ice cubes on the ground, took out some dry wood from her backpack, and finally started a fire and got busy.
The power of magic. Although the two wolf cubs had not been in this world for a long time, at most more than a month, they could clearly feel the magic fluctuations emanating from Lylai's body.
The purest and purest ice magic, they snow wolves, have lived on the ice field for hundreds of thousands of years, and are used to dealing with ordinary ice and snow, and now they see this piece of ice that freezes the ice rabbit, and they feel the special thing about this ice for the first time.
It was still a little difficult for the young wolf's teeth to crush the rabbit meat, and Rylai's craftsmanship was not good, but the problem of food was at least solved.
Rylai lived with the two wolf cubs for more than a month. It was a peaceful day for a month, until one day, they felt the Blue Heart Glacier actually start to tremble. Rylai's first instinct was to take the two wolf cubs into her arms and rush out in the direction of the glacier.
After running for a while, a strong cold wind blew all around. There is no cold anywhere on this continent that can make Rylai feel cold, but at this time, Rylai feels like a cold knife has cut her cheek.
"I see that you have a good talent, so I will accept you as my apprentice. A deep voice sounded, and in the sky ahead, an ice-blue figure slowly landed, looking at Lilai and said.
Lylai, however, hugged the wolf cubs in her arms tighter, holding them in her arms with only one arm, and pointing at the stranger in the ice-blue robe with an open palm with the other hand.
The stranger was amused by Rylai's reaction, and he stretched out his hand and made a gesture for Rylai to come to him, but Rylai's body floated towards him uncontrollably, without any resistance.
It wasn't just Lylai who was terrified, but also the two wolf cubs in her arms, who suddenly found themselves climbing upwards at a rapid pace, and the Blue Heart Glacier continued to descend and descend in their eyes, and finally, become the scenery beneath their feet.
The wolf cub and the girl's screams rang out one after another, but the man in the ice-blue robe was not annoyed, but asked, "Child, what is your name?"
After a long time, Lylett told him her name.
The man nodded, and said to himself, "I am an ice wizard, and I have always lived on the summit of this Blue Heart Glacier. Lylai, you can call me Master in the future. ”
Rylai hadn't apprenticed at all, but when she stepped on the ice at the summit of the Blue Heart Glacier, she gradually accepted reality.
Compared to living alone with two wolf cubs, it shouldn't be a bad thing to have someone older than you to take care of.
The summit of the Blue Heart Glacier is generally flat, and the view is very open, and you can see the end of the ice field far away. The area is not small, and it takes half an hour for a person to run a lap around the periphery.
In the center of the summit, there is a wooden house, which is covered with icicles and the roof is completely covered with snow. Presumably, the Ice Wizard must have lived there.
At this moment, a figure came out of the wooden house, and it turned out that the Ice Wizard did not live here alone.
It was an orc, and the characteristics of the beast were overwhelming. Covered in snow-white hair, it looks like a hairy bear, but two tusks are sticking out of its mouth. He was strong, but he didn't seem to be fierce, and he was looking at Rylai, the new human girl.
"His name is Ymir. Ymir, she's Rylai. From now on, you will get along with each other, remember not to trouble me. The Ice Wizard said.
Rylai subconsciously rejected Ymir and took a step back. She had never stood so close to an orc. Ymir was too much of a beast to pounce on and eat herself in the stories adults told her.
Ymir wanted to say hello to Rylai or something, but he was a little overwhelmed when he saw Rylai's reaction, and after a while, he noticed that there were still two wolf cubs in Rylai's arms.
So Ymir stretched out a fluffy white paw, pointed at the two young wolves, and said in the continental lingua franca, "You can put them down." They are snow wolves, and their fur is almost the same, so they are not afraid of the cold. ”
Rylai glanced at Ymir and suspiciously placed the two wolf cubs on the ground.
As soon as the two wolf cubs reached the ground, they began to move around, but usually they went to the same place, and never too far from Rylai, and after a while they turned back again.
Everything here is new to them and worth exploring. As for the loss of their mother and the race, the beasts' thoughts and memories are simple, and they slowly forget them after being cared for by Rylai.
Ymir seemed to be very fond of the two wolf cubs, and he was crouching on the ground and playing with them, laughing heartily from time to time.
For the first time, Rylai felt that the beasts weren't all that scary.
In this way, after Rylai became the apprentice of the Ice Wizard, her main thing every day was to practice freezing magic. She wasn't bored with it, because she was happy to have two wolf cubs with her, as well as the orc Ymir, who would always praise her for her magic and growth.
Seeing Lylai smiling, Ymir couldn't help but laugh too, so that the summit of the Blue Heart Glacier was very lively.
After a long time, Lylai got into play, and suddenly grabbed a handful of snowballs and stuffed them into Yumir's mouth while he was grinning.
"Hmm...... Ahem!" Rylai managed to fix Ymir, and was covering her mouth and snickering, when a handful of snow smashed into her head, and she couldn't prevent it.
There were also times when he went too far, and the Ice Wizard would make a face next to him and let Rylai concentrate on his practice, and Ymir would walk aside and practice boxing against the hard ice.
As the days progressed, the two young wolves grew into adult wolves, Rylai grew from a little girl to a big girl, and Ymir's physique grew stronger.
The Ice Wizard called Rylai over and said, "Rylai, you are already able to practice freezing magic on your own. Now that you're out of school, it's time for me to get some rest and a good night's sleep. ”
With that, the Ice Wizard descended into the Blue Heart Glacier and fell into a deep sleep, like some animals hibernate.
At the summit of the Blue Heart Glacier are Rylai and Ymir, as well as two snow wolves.
They were all able to live on their own, even the wolves, who had learned to grill food over fire under the influence of Lylai.
Unfortunately, over the years, they have not been able to learn a single piece of freezing magic, and they have no trouble sealing their prey with ice like Rylai, so they have to honestly use their claws to catch their prey.
