    Except for some islands located deep in the ocean, almost isolated from the world, and small pieces of land that almost exist in legends and have never been touched by anyone, the mother continent is the only known and vibrant continent on the planet.  An irregular oval, it runs through the northern and southern hemispheres, and extends even further towards the northern hemisphere - its northern part penetrates into the ice-covered ocean, while its southern part can only barely cross the equator, and does not even reach the temperate zone of the southern hemisphere.  Therefore, for a long period of time in history, scholars on the mother continent believed that they lived in a one-way world of hot and cold. The farther north you go, the colder it becomes, until the sky is frozen, and the farther south you go, the hotter it becomes, until the earth  All were melted by it, so in the old mythology of the mother continent, there is also the legend of the Ice King of the Far North and the Lava Tyrant of the South Abyss.

    This is what Lilina told us when we were bored.

    The place we went to is located in the northern part of the mother continent, and is almost close to the frozen wasteland.  If ordinary people want to come to this cold country instead of taking the portal, they have to cross the northern principality, then cross the countless scattered settlements in the northern wilderness that are divided by barbarians, until they reach almost the last place in this world that intelligent creatures can occupy for a long time.  Just the border line.  There is a loose country called "Gudel" here. This is a country with almost no clear political power. Large and small city-states and even towns are proclaiming themselves kings. However, the wonderful thing is that this is not the result of a long-term separatist war.  The result is that after a long process of civilization and mutual compromise, a delicate balance has been formed locally. Countless city-states, large and small, each pursue their own laws and have their own lords. At the same time, they are nominally led by the Northland royal family "Goodell".  "To rule, this northern royal family does not seem to intend to strengthen their centralization, and is even happy to see the princes under their own names form such a loose state. They only need their nominal subjects to do two things: worship, and  Worshiping God, in addition to fulfilling the most basic obligation of protecting the kingdom when foreign enemies attack, then completely letting it go.  Such a governance method and national structure are difficult for outsiders to imagine. Anyway, I can hardly imagine how the Goodale royal family here could have not been replaced for such a long time without accidents. However, in fact, for a long time,  Since then, the entire Northland Kingdom "Gudel" has been extremely stable, with almost no internal friction.

    After checking the information collected by Lilina, I realized that this was all because of the "Storm Giant".

    In the far north of the continent, although there is no Ice King, there is a powerful ancient spirit, that is, the Storm Giant. This powerful creature is revered as the God of the North and is considered the most powerful.  One of the ancient spirits, according to research, he appeared in front of the mortals when the mortals of the mother continent first arrived in the northern ice plains and established towns on the border, and its true existence time will naturally only be longer than that, Storm  The giant is described as an incorporeal cold creature. According to legend, he lives in the deepest part of the northern ice sheet. It is a place that even the most advanced alchemical airships on the mother continent cannot reach. The storm giant is a never-ending mass, mixed with  A male ancient spirit of ice, snow, clouds and lightning. Only when a mortal arrives in front of him and the ancient spirit happens to be interested, will the storm take on a human form. When he stands up, he can cross the northern ice field in one step.  He can reach the widest ice abyss and the highest mountain range. When he is angry, he can freeze all the mortal towns on the entire border in one breath. The only way to communicate with this storm giant is in the hands of the Goodel royal family.

    This is the cornerstone of the stable existence of this loose state in the far north of the continent: the backstage of the Goodel royal family is the storm giant.  In fact, the word "Goodell" means "server" in the local language, which means the servant of the storm giant.

    However, it is difficult to explain why the Goodel royal family, who have mastered such powerful power, took the initiative to keep their kingdom in such an unethical state, and even seemed not to care much about their royal power.  A group of very mysterious guys, living in their own frozen castle, almost indifferent to the world. All the information about them on the mainland, apart from legends, is nonsense

    ¡°Well, it¡¯s basically nonsense.

    There are many trivial mountains and hills on the border of Northland, which shows a very intense but short-lasting period of geological activity. The towns with human settlements here are basically built on the mountains. It can be effective to hide in the mountains.  It is protected from the cold winds from the northern ice fields, and it is also easier to obtain additional food from the mountains and forests.  Our destination is such a medium-sized town hidden in a valley at the foot of the mountain. The town has a very straightforward and strange name: Skate.  The reason why it is called this is probably because its shape is long and narrow, and it is located on the boundary line of the ice sheet. It looks like an ice knife piercing the boundary of the ice sheet. In such a cold environment,His flesh trembled, and his eyes bulged with intense emotion, but this expression did not last long. He suddenly walked quickly back to his seat, sat down heavily, and said, "Speak!"

    "Weare here to return your things" Sona seemed to muster up the courage for a long time, and then took out the thick notebook that had been away from its owner for thirty years, and placed it on the warden's desk.  His eyes suddenly widened, and he stared blankly at the black book in front of him, as if he couldn't believe his eyes. He slowly picked up the book and opened it carefully.

    Inside was a small piece of paper that was yellowed and brittle.

    "Look, the original bookmarks are all there," Sakina said quickly. "We have always protected them very well, and not a single page has been lost. There are also leaves you picked, which were made into specimens with cloud wax and palm oil.  On the last page"

    Weir quickly flipped through his notes and found the leaf on the last page that had long since lost its original color and had been made into a specimen. His movements were frozen at this moment. He remained silent for a long time, lowering his head as if it had turned into a stone sculpture.  Sakina looked at us uneasily and took two steps closer: "Um right"

    "Let's go." A low and hoarse voice came from the other side.

    "Huh?" Sakina asked without hearing clearly.

    "Let's go!" Weir suddenly raised his head and said loudly, "I've brought the things, so let's go quickly!"

    "We haven't talked yet" Sakina always has some rough lines. She stubbornly took another half step forward, but was grabbed by Sona, who looked deeply at the middle-aged woman.  Weir, who had turned into a rude old warden who was addicted to smoking, glanced at her and whispered, "Goodbye, Weir." Then he pulled Sakina out of the room.

    I was walking at the end, and when I was about to step out of the door, I heard a hoarse voice from behind: "Wait a minute."

    I looked at Weir in confusion, and the other person opened his mouth, and finally forced out a weird smile, as if he was not used to such an expression: "Help close the door, and give them a message by the way, these years In fact, I  It¡¯s going well.¡±

    The heavy, studded wooden door made a squeaking sound and slowly closed. I deliberately paused at the door for a while before following the others.  Lin Xue also deliberately lagged behind, and after I caught up with her, she said without looking back, "Just cry inside."

    "You're right."

    "What's wrong with him?" Qianqian is probably the least enlightened person among the people present when it comes to similar things, and the questions she asks are certainly not very enlightened - to be honest, I sometimes envy her simple mind.

    "To commemorate one's own youth," Lin Xue looked back at the door of the warden's room, which had been hidden in the darkness, and then looked at the two half-dragon girls walking in front.  His first love - I guess he must have had a crush on one of Sakina and Sona back then, a woman's intuition."

    After coming from the dark prison corridor to the bright outdoors, Sakina and Sona couldn't help but take a deep breath. In any case, they may have really put down the burden of thirty years.  After telling them what she had conveyed, Sona finally had a smile on her face, facing the wind blowing from afar: "It seems the wind has become a little warmer."

    Sakina looked at her friend for no apparent reason, then shrank her neck after blowing a gust of wind: "Oh, it's just as cold. If it keeps freezing like this, I might actually hibernate."

    "Your Majesty," Alleria, who was following along in the invisible state, suddenly interrupted everyone's thoughts. She pointed in the direction of the ice field in the distance, "I sensed that Odysseus was calling. His condition  ¡­It¡¯s weird.¡± (To be continued.
