Chapter 442 Frost Star
Dark Ages.
It only exists in legends and knight novels. Currently, there is no information about the Dark Ages in the official records of the Grand Duchy of Shadowflame.
That era lasted for nearly four to five thousand years.
Volcanoes are still brewing under the earth, dragons have not yet begun to take flight, and wyverns and elves have not been born either.
Without dragons and the warmth brought by dragons, humans would face endless cold.
"There is no record of how humans reproduced from generation to generation in the Dark Ages, but humans cannot be like weeds, growing out of the warm ground inexplicably." Russell said, "There must be some way for humans to survive in the Dark Ages. Survive."
"indeed so."
"So, maybe the phantom beasts were born in that era, and humans relied on the protection of the phantom beasts to survive the cold. Those cold spring points that still remain may be the survival strongholds opened by the dragon domain lords for humans in the dark ages. "
"Your inference is quite reasonable." Baron Roman nodded in agreement.
"At that time, the frost trolls probably had not yet crossed the gate to other worlds, or even just projected their power to Longmian Continent." Russell continued to think, "Maybe a group of snow ghosts were born first, and they waited for their power to accumulate for a long time. The Snow Demon is born, and after the Snow Giant appears, the dragon will also erupt. "
After a pause, he continued: "Now that humans are about to defeat the ice and snow and return to the warm earth, the frost trolls are also falling from the sky like meteors."
"Interesting."
"Just my guess, Father."
"It's hard to tell whether it's true or not. However, this is suitable for writing a drama. Is that Nicholas still collecting stories in the Black Fire Land? Why not invite him to write a drama based on such a story. Everyone will definitely like to watch it."
"I will mention it to him if I meet him." Russell smiled.
The father and son chatted about the world structure in the study for a while, scolded Fang Qiu, and then went to the restaurant for dinner at the call of the housekeeper.
In addition to Mrs. Meryl, sister-in-law Gwen, sister Laura, old Mrs. Ingrid, Aunt Robbie and cousin Diana were all there.
"You two will-o'-the-wisps, old and young, how much government affairs do you need to hide in the study to talk about?" Mrs. Ingrid joked, "You are full of drunkenness while chatting. If you don't know, you will think that you are too busy all day long. , but in fact it’s the boy Roland who works hard all day long.”
"He who is capable is hardworking, grandma." Russell smiled, "The development of my territory is really inseparable from the guidance of my elder brother."
Then he said to his sister-in-law Gwen: "I'm sorry for taking up so much of my brother's time."
"It's okay, Roland is enjoying being busy right now." Gwen smiled. As a wife, she already understood her husband's character. If she didn't let her husband do things, she might slip away to meet his mistress at the Dark Light Collection.
It's better to be busy.
"Come, mother, eldest brother, sister-in-law, Russell, Gwen, Laura, and Diana, let's have a drink together."
Aunt Luo Bi raised her glass with great interest, and after everyone clinked their glasses, she said enthusiastically: "Russell, in a while, aunt's little castle will be built, and then I will hold a grand dance. You must come!”
Aunt Luo Bi's small castle is built on the edge of Youguang Town.
"Of course." Russell responded.
Aunt Luo Bi added: "When your cigar castle is completed, Auntie will join in the fun for you and meet old friends from the past."
"Auntie, don't you invite familiar friends to your dance?"
"It's just a small castle." Aunt Luo Bi sighed, "I am no longer a baroness, so how can I gather those noble ladies? Only the inauguration ceremony of your cigar castle will be filled with guests."
When people leave, the tea is cool, nothing more than this.
In the past, Aunt Luo Bi, although in poor health and unable to travel far, would entertain guests from the Grand Duchy at the Golden Summit Castle every year.
Now, I can only invite the noble ladies of Youguang Valley.
In the Netherworld Valley, there are not many noble ladies, including the new Lords Eric and Charles from the Black Fire Land next door, and this is still the case.
Chatting about the gossip among the nobles and having a dinner are quite enjoyable.
In the evening, Russell did not stay at the Fluorescent Castle, but went back to his Cigar Courtyard - for the unicorn Baoli, the distance from the Fluorescent Castle to the Cigar Courtyard was only two steps.
Lie down on the comfortable queen bed.
Russell held the star crystal as big as a human head in his hand and played with it: "What should we call such a big star... Fast, Frost Troll, Snow Giant... Why not call it Frost Star, Ice Grain, Ice Soul, Frost Star…”
This star crystal was named Frost Star by Russell.
Putting down Frost Star, Russell raised his left hand, and the M-shaped mark on his palm flashed, but he couldn't get a response from Xiao Menglong.
After taking a big bite of Snow Giant Da, Little Menglong fell into a deep sleep again.
This sleep lasted until mid-November when the warm season was about to end, which added up to three months.
Three months is enough for Nicholas to tinker with a new drama - "Dark Chronicles".
Now Nicholas brought his new play, escorted by the knights of the Russell faction, back to Stormrage City and the Evernight Castle, the literary and artistic center of the Grand Duchy.
Marquis Arnold has already communicated with Count Osclo and eliminated Count Osclo's hatred for Nicholas - the way to eliminate it is very simple, just put all the blame for "Thunder in the Dragon Realm" on Russell's head.
Anyway, the hatred between the two families is so deep that it can no longer be repaired.
After Nicholas left, the cold wind blew towards the Youguang Valley, the Blackfire Land and the Thunder Lake, but the warm season's hot reclamation scene never stopped.
Rows of chimneys were erected around the black oil mine, and billowing black smoke almost day and night.
This is a strong atmospheric pollution.
But every time Russell looked at the billowing black smoke, in addition to the romantic feelings of the Industrial Revolution, he would also imagine whether the billowing black smoke would trigger a greenhouse effect in the Dragon Sleeping Continent and cause warming of the entire continent.
If it is effective, it would be a tactical blow to the Snow Demon.
"The slag bricks, black fire bricks and ordinary red bricks produced by the Black Fire Brick Kiln Factory can basically meet the construction needs of the territory." Charles rode on horseback, accompanied Russell to inspect the territory, and introduced the results of the reclamation one by one.
Soon he called over the head of the brick kiln factory, William, to further introduce the situation of the brick kiln factory.
"Sir, with the help of the Blackfire Scholar Tower, the brick kiln factory has built three new kilns: liquefied gas kiln, gasoline kiln and black jade paste kiln." Little William said, black jade paste is a special fuel made of black oil mixed with impurities.
Black oil burns unstable, and when mixed with some solid impurities, it solidifies into black jade paste, which burns as stably as coal.
This kind of kiln has abundant magic power in the fuel and is suitable for firing slag bricks.
Liquefied gas kilns are suitable for firing ceramics, and gasoline kilns generally fire black fire bricks and ordinary red bricks, which are much more efficient than traditional coal kilns.
After Little William finished his introduction, Charles added: "At present, the pottery kiln factory, porcelain kiln factory and glass kiln factory have all been prepared. The person in charge and technicians are all hired from the Valley of the Dark Light. The products have also been agreed with the Fluorescent Castle, and the caravans of the Fluorescent Castle are responsible for sales."
The Fluorescent Mushroom Family has cheap clay metal, and Russell has cheap black oil fuel. The combination of the two will definitely sweep the market of the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame.
