The Snow Queen and the Shenwu King looked at each other quietly in the snow of a foreign land.
Tu Luo said: "I was looking for a place, so I wanted to go around here, but I couldn't go around it, and I didn't want to attack humans rashly, so I wandered outside. I didn't expect to meet you."
"Where?"
"The pronunciation in the ancient books is Jotheim, which translates to your words as the Kingdom of Permafrost. It is the hometown of the ancient Frost Giants. I will go back with them. As for the Oni Fang people, I have already settled them in the west of the Rakshasa Kingdom. "
Xia Ji said: "I will take you through the customs."
Tu Luo smiled and suddenly asked: "Has Gu Chen's revenge been avenged?"
Xia Ji knew that she was talking about the prince, so he nodded and said, "I've paid you back."
Tu Luo breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
Xia Ji didn't say that the prince was dead, and Tu Luo didn't ask any more questions.
The two were silent for a while.
Tu Luo turned around and let out a weird roar. Not long after, the outlines of many giants suddenly appeared in the wind and snow. A total of more than two thousand frost giants appeared in the cold wind.
The leading giant grabbed Tu Luo, then grabbed Xia Ji and threw him on his shoulder, then stepped forward.
There were huge footprints left on the snow.
Giants crossing the snow.
Wind and frost blurred.
In a magical scene, thousands of giants appeared in front of the fortress.
On the fortress wall, the soldiers looked at this scene in stunned silence.
Their hands were sweating and they were holding on to their guns tightly. They were so frightened that they wanted to shoot right away.
Xia Ji raised his voice and said: "Princess, please open the door. The giant is just trying to pass the barrier. If he didn't care about human life, he would have passed the barrier long ago."
Only then did everyone notice the two people on the giant's shoulders.
Princess Binglian was completely stunned.
The shocking feeling of seeing a human being sitting on the shoulders of such an unconquerable giant is beyond words.
Not only is this mysterious Southerner back, but he’s back sitting on the shoulders of a giant
Princess Binglian's heartbeat quickened and her cheeks turned red.
Someone next to him said: "You can't open the door, he has been fascinated by the evil giant..."
Xia Ji jumped up and flew to the top of the city. The people around him were so frightened that they quickly got out of the way, and a circle of muskets were aimed at him.
"Put the gun down!!"
Princess Ice Lotus said angrily.
A group of people looked at each other, but didn't dare to let go.
Princess Ice Lotus said: "Do you disobey my order? Put down the gun!"
"yes… "
A group of people immediately put away their guns and backed away warily.
Princess Binglian looked at Xia Ji, her eyes flashing with enthusiasm: "Oh my god, how did you do it?"
Xia Ji said frankly: "I happen to know the queen of the giants."
After speaking, he pointed to the giant's shoulder.
Princess Ice Lotus looked up and saw a woman with silver hair and blue eyes looking at her with a smile.
Princess Binglian only felt that everything was like a dream.
Tu Luo said loudly: "As long as you pass the test, you won't hurt anyone. This is my promise."
Princess Binglian looked at the giant approaching the city, and she felt in her heart that no matter whether it could be opened or not, the fortress would not be able to withstand the torment of the giant in front of her, not to mention that she had a mysterious confidence in Xia Ji at this time.
"Open the door!"
Just two words were conveyed.
The officers and soldiers of the fortress were silent for a long time.
Finally, the order was passed on.
"Open the door!"
"Open the city gate!"
The sound faded away.
The giant iron door slowly opened in the wind and snow, making a harsh and thick sound.
The giant passes,
Leaving footprints on the ground,
Shocking.
The soldiers in the entire fortress were stunned to see this almost mythical scene...
Time passed unconsciously. After the last giant walked out, Tu Luo returned with the largest giant. She shouted from a distance: "Hey~~"
Xia Ji said: "What's wrong?"
Tu Luo shouted: "Come on."
Xia Ji knew that the queen of the frost giant had something to say, so she walked away.
He stood at the edge of the platform of the fortress' observation tower. The tall queen with silver hair and blue eyes stood on the shoulders of the giant. The two faced each other, standing in the wind, frost, ice and snow of a foreign land.
Tu Luo took out two things from his arms, the same blue ring, and the same token engraved with complicated patterns.
She handed it to Xia Ji, and then whispered:
"Frost Ring, just crush the blue gem in the center, and our family of frost giants will come from the frozen country to help you.
Ghost Fang Order, those who hold this order are the honored guests of Ghost Fang.
Although we are allies, this must be the last time I see you in my life...
Then let this covenant last forever. At least it will exist while I am alive. "
Xia Ji understood what she meant.
As a member of the Frost Giant lineage, she was unable to obtain fire during the Fire Tribulation, a critical catastrophe that extended her lifespan, so her lifespan was destined not to be too long.
Xia Ji took out a golden crystal ball. In the ball was a blue-white flame, an immortal demonic fire.
He handed it out.
Tu Luo's eyes widened, "This is..."
Xia Ji smiled and said: "Friendship."
Tu Luo took it with both hands, and she could feel the high temperature of the fire, which not only contained the power of destruction, but also exuded the throbbing of life. She noticed the color of the flames and couldn't help being moved. She closed her eyes deeply. When she opened them again, she looked deeply at the man in front of her, but she didn't know what to say.
"No matter when, no matter where, even if it takes thousands of years, you will be my frost giant's friend."
At this moment, the Frost Queen made a promise.
The two watched silently for a long time. Tu Luo put away the fire of the immortal demonic fire, but the giant she sat on had already moved away.
Princess Ice Lotus stood beside him at some point and asked softly: "Who are you?"
Xia Ji said: "An animal trainer."
Princess Binglian suddenly said: "I want you to be my man."
The Rakshasa Kingdom is different from Middle-earth, love and hate are so direct.
Princess Ice Lotus said: "Today, you have made my heart beat twenty-one times. This has never happened before. I think I love you."
Xia Ji touched the princess's head.
Princess Ice Lotus suddenly felt like a dragon caressing a pet...
Not only did she not feel ashamed, but she sighed, she already understood.
Although she has a noble status and beautiful appearance, the man in front of her is not at the same level as her...
Xia Ji said gently: "I need a long-term foothold here. You help me and I will help you."
Princess Ice Lotus whispered: "If I become the Lord of Rakshasa, will you want me?"
Xia Jidao: "I am not someone who can accompany you to your old age, nor am I someone who will accompany you, but I am someone who can be mutually beneficial to you."
Princess Ice Lotus: "I..."
She didn't know what to say, but in the twenty years she had been alive, for the first time, she saw a man who was completely shining, flawless, and completely different from others. Unfortunately, she was not worthy of this man.
But she is not a fool. She already knows that such a man is definitely not an animal tamer.
"I can't forget you anymore, and I will never find a better man than you in the future. Just marry me. Isn't it normal to have three wives and four concubines?"
Xia Ji changed the topic and went directly to the previous topic: "Do you want to be the leader of Rakshasa Kingdom?"
Princess Ice Lotus would never admit it in front of others, but facing such a man, she nodded inexplicably, as if she didn't dare and didn't want to deceive him.
Xia Jidao: "I'll help you, but you set up a national religion in Rakshasa."
Princess Ice Lotus said: "Rakshasa believes in the Church of Wolf, Snake and Death... It is difficult to change."
Xia Jidao: "You don't need to worry about these."
Princess Binglian nodded. She looked at the man in front of her and felt that he was becoming more and more mysterious.
Xia Ji whispered: "Let's go, Your Majesty the Princess."
Princess Ice Lotus was stunned for a moment. She closed her eyes and felt an inexplicable loss in her heart. But after all, she was from the royal family of the Rakshasa King. She quickly adjusted her mentality, walked beside Xia Ji, and left together.
…
…
The following days.
Xia Ji and Xiao Su live in the castle.
Xiao Su ate bread and drank tonic soup every day, and his recovery from the injury was getting better and better.
Wangjia Town is obviously a bit mysterious. Even though Xiao Su can vaguely feel that it is in the north, the Queen sent many people but nothing was found.
At this time, Xia Ji was sitting in front of the window in a daze. Many things were flashing through his mind. These things were split and reorganized, slowly setting the direction for the future.
Suddenly, the leather contract in his mind reacted.
It's Hu Xian'er.
"Master, I... I was taken to a mysterious place. There is only your mother here. Your mother wants me to eat a thousand dishes every day. Am I having a nightmare? I am a vixen, not a pig spirit! Well~~ What if I’m having a nightmare, please don’t respond to me.”
Therefore, Xia Ji did not respond to her.
After a long time, the leather scroll contract responded: "Ah~~ It turned out that I was really having a nightmare. It's great."
Xia Ji couldn't help but laugh.
Since this little vixen thinks so, let her continue to think so. He will not reply to such boring messages.
But Hu Xianer also brought him a message, that is, Su Tian still maintained his original position and did not suddenly change because of his disappearance.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
He took a sip of the steaming fragrant tea.
His eyes passed through the long arched window and fell on the avenue in front of the castle.
There are trees on both sides, and the road in the middle is a bit winding, but it is spacious enough for three carriages to go parallel.
The forest wind passed through, and on a rare sunny day, the golden light penetrated the shade of the trees and fell on the cleaned brick floor, casting shadows that swayed in the wind. Everything seemed extremely peaceful.
Just when Xia Ji turned around, the sound of horse hooves suddenly broke the tranquility.
A messenger comes from afar.
The servant took his horse, and another guard led the messenger through the long outer courtyard and a fountain composed of twelve demonic wolf sculptures, and arrived at the ambassador's hall where the guests were received.
…
That night, Princess Binglian directly found Xia Ji.
"Sir, my father called me back to Aurora City. I always feel that something big will happen this time.
I am the fourth daughter and have three brothers. The eldest brother has a close relationship with the third brother, while I have a better relationship with the second brother.
This time, it is very likely that we have reached the final... step. "
These words are taboo, even for a royal family, they must not be said easily, but after experiencing the relationship with Xia Ji, Princess Binglian has long regarded this mysterious and extraordinary man as her support.
Xia Ji thought about it for a moment, and realized that this was obviously a situation in the battle for the inheritance. He said softly: "Go to Aurora City first, and tell me about the situation in the city on the way."
"good."
…
Three days later.
Princess Binglian led three thousand cavalry and set off.
Surprisingly, the princess herself turned out to be a sharpshooter. The night before she left, she performed a shooting, and it turned out to be ninety-nine rings ten times, which was very strong.
She was wearing white breeches, equipped with a dagger and a musket, and was sitting in a carriage with Xia Ji's brother and sister.
Looking at the brothers and sisters opposite, Princess Binglian took out two boxes from one side and took out two muskets embedded with gems, "This is for you."
Xiao Su took a look and shook his head: "I don't want it."
Xia Ji grabbed it and stuffed it into her, "You can keep it and use it, at least it will make a sound."
"All right… "
Princess Ice Lotus on the side couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.
…
…
A few days later.
The capital of the country of ice and snow.
Aurora City.
In front of a castle.
The carriage was driving slowly across the suspension bridge hanging over the moat.
In the inner court, Ivan touched his golden beard, looked at his charming figure in the mirror, and smiled.
The final war is about to begin. Although the eldest brother has the support of the army, he has the support of the Wolf Snake and the Death Church. The Ice Lotus Princess's accurate shooting can make great achievements at critical moments.
The most important thing is that the ice palace guards where the leader of Aurora City lives has been bribed by him.
On the surface, the guard turned to his elder brother, but he was actually one of his own. He would not betray him because he had a secret identity. The guard was a fanatical believer in the Church of Wolf Snake and Death.
Although the Church of Wolf Snake and Death is the state religion of the Land of Ice and Snow Rakshasa, it has always been suppressed by the imperial power.
Hearing the sound of the carriage approaching from far away, Ivan stood up, grabbed a scepter inlaid with rubies, walked out to the hall, and sat on the seat in the middle.
The hall is very luxurious, far from the barrenness imagined by the Middle-earth people. The ceiling is painted with mythological reliefs of devil snakes and devil wolves. The combination of arches and the local decoration called Mokarabi shows a special kind of majesty. feel.
Light and shadow cast, and moving patterns appear on the ceiling.
squeak.
The door was pushed open.
The heroic Princess Binglian walked in with Xia Ji and Xiao Su.
Ivan smiled gracefully: "Look at my beautiful sister. We haven't seen her for only half a year, and she has become so much more beautiful."
Princess Ice Lotus said: "Brother, let me introduce you to these two people I mentioned in my letter. They come from the mysterious south..."
Ivan glanced at Xia Ji and Xiao Su, and felt a very uncomfortable feeling in his heart. It was a feeling of being overwhelmed by other people's courage, so he frowned and said: "Even if you are a talented person, when you see me, Rakshasa The royal family should also kneel down and salute.”
The voice swept away coldly.
Princess Binglian was stunned: "Brother, I wrote to you in advance. Mr. Ji is really powerful and will be of great help to us."
Ivan said lightly: "The devil wolf tells us that we need to be forbearing, and the devil snake tells us that we need to be ruthless. Sophia, have the teachings of the wolf snake and the Church of Death ever taught us that there is no distinction between master and servant?"
Princess Binglian suddenly realized that her brother might be a believer in the state religion, and she couldn't help but glance sideways at Xia Ji.
Xia Ji could also figure out what she could infer, and he said, "I'll go outside."
Princess Ice Lotus nodded.
Xia Ji took Xiao Su out of the archway, and the sound of the two arguing was heard in the room.
After a long time, Princess Binglian came out and took the two of them back to their residence angrily.
Then she quickly put on her training clothes, grabbed the musket as if to vent her anger, and shot at the target, hitting ninety-eight rings out of ten. It must be said that she was indeed a marksman.
"Sorry, Mr. Ji..."
"fine."
Xia Ji said lightly, sucked his right hand, casually grabbed a handful of bullets on the table, and threw them at the target in the distance.
One hundred rounds of bullets, one thousand rings, none of them missed, and they were embedded deeply into the target, far deeper than a musket shot.
