Chapter 30 Immortality
According to legend, the snow demon came from another world and froze the Longmian Continent, causing everything to fall into deathly silence.
Until the dragon awakens, it tears through the blockade of snowfields on the earth and creates oases where humans can thrive.
Youguang River Valley is such a small oasis.
Of course, it was brought about by the power of the clay dragon Rose, but in the final analysis, it relied on the influence of the Shadow Flame Dragon on the earth.
The power of the Shadow Flame Dragon continues to radiate, protecting the entire Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame. The clay dragon Rose condensed part of it, and then there was the Netherlight Valley, which was warm as spring all year round, and became the territory of the Fluorescent Mushroom family for generations.
"As for the snow ghost..."
In the kitchen, the valet Ram vividly recounted the ancient legend: "The dark power of the snow demon is sealed in the snowfield. Once someone is killed by the snow demon, he will be resurrected by the erosion of the dark power and become a snow ghost." !”
"Is the snow ghost black or white?" the kitchen maid Barbara asked innocently.
"This..." Ram had never seen a snow ghost before, but he had to maintain his erudite persona in front of the maid, so he said, "Of course it's white, otherwise how could he be called a snow ghost."
"I thought it was called a snow ghost because it turned into a ghost in the snow." Olivia, the maid, said.
"It's possible." Ram wasn't sure, so he quickly put it off, "None of this is important. What's important is that I killed a large group of snow ghosts this time, and there was even a three-meter-tall snow ghost among them!"
"Three meters, how tall is that!" Barbara gestured at her height of about 1.5 meters, which was incredible.
Olivia didn't understand: "But how come the snow ghost turned into a person is so tall? I have never seen anyone so tall."
Ram thought for a while and said: "Maybe people in other territories are only three meters tall."
"Wow, I really want to see someone three meters tall. It would be great if I could go out once in my life." Barbara prayed.
At this time, Mrs. Moore, the cook, came in from outside carrying a vegetable basket and yelled: "You still want to go somewhere else? You don't need snow ghosts or ghost beasts to eat you. The wild wolves on the snowfield can chew you into a pile of broken bones." If you don’t hurry up and wash the dishes, you are lazy!”
"Sorry, I'll go right away." Barbara took the vegetable basket and ran to the vegetable sink.
Mrs. Moore looked at Ram with a bad attitude: "Oh, Master's valet during the internship period, if you are very free, you should think more about how to serve the Master instead of coming to the kitchen to coax the little maid. William is eyeing her. !”
"William is no match for me, he is clumsy." Ram retorted, but he did not dare to stay in the kitchen anymore.
"What a troublesome bunch," muttered Mrs. Moore.
Olivia did not leave. She was not a kitchen maid and was not under the jurisdiction of Mrs. Moore. Naturally, she did not need to be afraid of Mrs. Moore. Instead, she asked with interest: "Mrs. Moore, do you know about snow ghosts? The snow ghosts that the master killed ghost?"
"Who among the elderly doesn't know about snow ghosts? I have seen snow ghosts more than once."
"Ah, have you seen those white ghosts?"
"White, who told you that snow ghosts are white? Those snow ghosts that resurrect the dead are all blue."
Olivia rolled her eyes: "Damn, I knew Ram was talking nonsense."
"Never believe a man's words, my dear."
"I heard that the snow ghost is the human soul trapped in the corpse. Once the snow ghost is killed, the human soul will disperse into smoke."
"I don't know, they are all damned guys anyway." Mrs. Moore no longer has any curiosity about the snow ghost, "But I know that when the snow ghost is killed, it will leave behind ice beads, which can make people immortal. "
"Immortality, my God, will Master live forever?"
"Of course not!"
"But since I killed the snow ghost, I must also have ice beads."
"Silly girl, ice beads are ice beads. If you want to live forever, you have to leave it to an alchemist to refine countless ice beads into gold, and then make a magic potion of immortality." Mrs. Moore actually heard about it.
But it was enough to make Olivia startled.
Then, Mrs. Moore added: "You just need to understand that in many places, ice beads can be used as gold coins, dear."
The servants in the kitchen were discussing snow ghosts and ice beads.
In the study on the second floor of the manor's courtyard, Russell and others, who had already had lunch and were drunk, were enjoying afternoon tea.
With his thumb and index finger, he pinched the fine ice bead left by the Snow Ghost after his death. Russell sighed with a hint of drunkenness: "It's unimaginable that such a small bead can freeze all the power of a knight. "
"Yeah, it's amazing, isn't it." Charles chuckled drunkenly, "Suppose Eric died on the ice field, in the end, all his fighting spirit would be condensed into such a small ice bead."
Eric rolled his eyes: "If I'm going to die, I'll chop my head off!"
Knight Captain Chris said: "It doesn't work to cut off the head. The power of the Snow Demon will make your body move, and then reattach the head. Only by crushing the head can the influence of the Snow Demon's power be completely eradicated."
After a pause, he added: "But you have to be careful about your own body. If you touch the other head, a dog-headed snow ghost, pig-headed snow ghost, or bull-headed snow ghost will be born on the snowfield."
"Hahahaha." Charles laughed.
Russell also laughed a few times, the power of the Snow Demon was really extraordinary.
Only Eric didn't laugh, and his expression was particularly serious. He secretly swore that if he really died in the snow, he must tell others in advance to chop his body into a pool of meat paste, and never give the snow demon a chance.
Especially he couldn't change his head.
If he had to change his head, he couldn't change it to a pig's head or a cow's head. If it was a dog's head, he could barely accept it.
After laughing, everyone chatted and drank tea casually.
Russell raised the top-grade ice hail beads above his head, and through the light from the window, he carefully stared at the inside of the ice hail beads, and could see that there were smoke-like filaments sealed inside.
These filaments are probably the power that a knight has practiced for his whole life.
The snow ghost is a human, and must be a human who has practiced fighting spirit before death, and was eroded and affected by the power of the snow demon after death.
The fighting spirit in the body will be transformed into another power, allowing the corpse to revive and become a snow ghost. This power is called ice hail.
After killing the snow ghost, the ice hail will condense into ice hail beads.
According to the market situation, an ordinary ice hail bead can also be used as a gold coin, and a high-quality ice hail bead can be exchanged for more than ten or twenty gold coins.
In other words, killing snow ghosts can explode gold coins.
"By the way, ice hail beads can extract the power of snow demons through alchemy, and then give people longevity. Is it true?" Russell put down the high-quality ice hail beads in his hand and asked.
Charles spread his hands and burped: "I don't know."
Knight Commander Chris has heard some: "I think it's unlikely. Although snow ghosts are the transformation of the power of snow demons, there is an essential gap between their power and that of snow demons. The gap can never be made up by quantity."
"But ice hail beads are very valuable. Someone is secretly buying them, isn't it?"
"Maybe you can ask the Baron."
"Okay." Russell no longer entangled the ice hail beads in his hand, and temporarily treated them as gold coins. His warm smile faded and he said in a deep voice, "This time the invasion of snow ghosts has been resolved, but how to solve the lone wolf Lisbon who lured the snow ghosts?"
