Chapter 467: Stories from the Dark Ages
The tenacity of life is beyond imagination.
The deep blue demon from another world took the Extreme Ice Sacred Artifact to create severe cold on the Longmian Continent, and human civilization was soon covered by ice and snow.
And the power of the Extreme Ice Sacred Artifact continued to spread with the ice and snow, corrupting civilization and killing lives.
"Ling Ke and his partner Seou led humans to a decisive battle with the deep blue demon, and both died together... We who survived were at a loss, the Extreme Ice Sacred Artifact could not be destroyed, and the ice and snow on the earth had never subsided..."
The translation of the Shadow Flame Dragon was not smooth, but the general meaning could be understood.
After Ling Ke and his partner Seou chose to die with the deep blue demon with a fearless spirit, the Extreme Ice Sacred Artifact fell.
But humans at that time did not know how to deal with the Extreme Ice Sacred Artifact, so they could only make a container with metal, seal the Extreme Ice Sacred Artifact, and then bury it deep under the earth. Hope that the power of time can decay the power of the Extreme Ice Sacred Artifact.
"Translation is complete, little guy." Shadow Flame Dragon said, "Shuangda must have come for this Extreme Ice Sacred Artifact, but he didn't expect that the Extreme Ice Sacred Artifact would fall into your hands... Russell, where is the Extreme Ice Sacred Artifact?"
"It's still sealed, but I took the seal home, and I didn't dare to open it immediately." Russell told the truth, "Your Highness Shadow Flame, what should we do with this Extreme Ice Sacred Artifact?"
The Shadow Flame Dragon was silent for a while.
Then he shook his head: "Shadow Flame doesn't know either. The Extreme Ice Sacred Artifact is just a legend in the Dark Ages. No one has ever really seen the Extreme Ice Sacred Artifact...Maybe time has already decayed the Extreme Ice Sacred Artifact, and Shadow Flame doesn't need to deal with it at all."
"But what if it is still intact because of the seal?" Russell asked, "If it is decayed, Shuangda doesn't have to sneak into Lei Ze three times to find it?"
Paused.
Russell said, "How about I bring the Ice Artifact to the Shadow Flame Volcano, and then you open it and check it?"
The Shadow Flame Dragon blinked and said coldly, "If it extinguishes the Shadow Flame Volcano, how will you compensate Shadow Flame?"
"Uh..."
"Just kidding, little guy." The Shadow Flame Dragon turned over, and the magma splashed everywhere. It continued, "You bring the Ice Artifact here, and open it in the Shadow Flame Volcano. Without the frost trolls, it can't work."
"What if... I mean if, it can still work normally?"
"Then it's your responsibility to throw it into the depths of the snowfield. In short, don't leave this scourge on Shadow Flame's territory."
"Okay."
"Don't worry too much. Time can decay everything, and so can the Ice Artifact. The freezing of the Dragon Sleeping Continent was not caused by an Ice Artifact, but the other Ice Artifacts have become legends... They are just disposable consumables."
After getting the explanation from the Shadow Flame Dragon, Russell felt relieved.
He immediately left the Red Castle and returned to the Cigar Castle, then rode on the black oil dragon Rose, grabbed the metal stone that sealed the Extreme Ice Sacred Artifact, and flew to the Red Castle again. Then he did not go through the underground secret passage, but flew directly into the crater.
"Your Highness Shadow Flame, the Extreme Ice Sacred Artifact is here." Russell landed on the platform.
The Shadow Flame dragon stretched his head over, and one eye carefully stared at the coffin-like metal stone: "It is a perfect seal, just as Shadow Flame expected, made of 72 kinds of metals and 36 kinds of gems."
"What?" Russell did not quite understand.
The Shadow Flame dragon pondered for a moment before explaining: "In the Dark Ages, dragons were not born, and wyverns were not born. In that era, metals and gems were not a kind of mineral deposit, but were spread all over every corner of the earth."
However, affected by the ice, the entire Dragon Sleeping Continent underwent tremendous changes, so that metals and gems disappeared.
Then it was reborn in the form of wyverns breeding mineral deposits.
It's like Longmian Continent reorganized the underground mineral deposits to deal with the frozen crisis, making it easier for humans to mine on warm land and recreate civilization. Of course, it is also possible that the power of the Extreme Ice Sacred Artifact suppressed this special change.
After all, according to legend, the other world gave birth to dragons in order to squeeze the origin of Longmian Continent, which is more convenient for harvesting.
"Is that so..." Russell was a little dazed.
Whether it is Longmian Continent reorganizing mineral deposits to deal with the crisis, or the other world hunting dragons to squeeze the origin. These are incredible things, and only the extraordinary world can give birth to such scenes.
"It doesn't matter." Shadow Flame Dragon said slowly, "Russell, open it and let Shadow Flame see the Extreme Ice Sacred Artifact!"
A trace of desire emerged in its pupils: "If it contains the essence of the other world, it will just make Shadow Flame a big supplement!"
The sword butterfly mark flashed, and a big sword appeared in Russell's hand.
Aiming at the gap on the metal stone, constantly infusing dragon breath to pry, after a while, the seal loosened, and the metal stone suddenly split in half.
The sealed holy artifact of extreme ice was revealed.
A faint light emerged, and the temperature of the hot Shadow Flame Volcano suddenly dropped by more than ten degrees in an instant, from scorching heat to coolness.
A slender crystal-like object lay quietly in the groove of the metal stone.
"Quick, close it!" The Shadow Flame Dragon only took a glance, and his pupils contracted, urging Russell to close the metal stone again, "It's so cold, cold to the bones of Shadow Flame, this feeling, Shadow Flame doesn't like it, doesn't like it!"
Russell didn't like it either.
As soon as the slender crystal-like holy artifact of extreme ice appeared, he couldn't help but shiver, it was a kind of coldness that came from the bone marrow.
Even after tens of millions of years, the power of the Extreme Ice Sacred Artifact is still strong.
However, just as he was about to close the metal stone, he saw a smaller groove on the edge of the slender crystal, in which a snow-white feather was placed. This snow-white feather looked familiar.
Russell moved his mind and reached out to touch the feather.
Suddenly, he felt a faint warm feeling, and he knew that this was definitely not part of the Extreme Ice Sacred Artifact, so he picked up the snow-white feather and closed the metal stone.
Although the seal had been opened, after the metal stone was closed, the temperature of the Shadow Flame Volcano returned to being hot again.
"What did you take?" The Shadow Flame Dragon poked his head over.
"A feather, or rather, a feather left by a pseudo-dragon." Russell raised his hand and pinched the snow-white feather, "and, if my guess is correct, this feather is related to my contract partner Hape."
He placed the snow-white feather in the palm of his hand. The feather was about half a meter long. Not only was it snow-colored, but it also had a crystal-clear texture.
A familiar breath was flowing on it.
"A fake dragon's feather?" Shadow Flame Dragon didn't understand.
Russell said, "On the southern border of the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame, there is a green snow forest with a cold spring. There I met my partner, the pseudo-harpy dragon Hape, who is a fake dragon heir."
"Then what?" Shadow Flame Dragon asked.
"Then there is a stupid hair on its head, just like this one, but not as long as this feather, and not as rich in texture as this feather. But I believe that this stupid hair is very likely left by Hape's ancestors, or even the Seo in the story."
The sealed article on the metal stone records the story of Lingke and his partner Seo fighting against the snow demon to steal the extreme ice holy artifact.
At first, Russell didn't know the identities of Lingke and Seo.
But with this stupid hair, the image of the protagonist of the story was clearly outlined in his mind.
Lingke is a dragon domain lord, and Seo is the pseudo dragon he contracted - the harpy.
They were in the Green City Snow Forest, where they broke through life and death, ascended together, and then opened up a warm enclave - of course, perhaps the earth had not been completely frozen at that time, and the Green City Snow Forest and the surrounding vast areas were still warm land.
In short.
After Ling Ke and Seou died, the tribesmen sealed the Extreme Ice Sacred Artifact, and by the way, sealed the pseudo-dragon symbol left by Seou in a large metal stone.
"Interesting story." Shadow Flame Dragon glanced at Daimao and didn't care much, "Take away the Extreme Ice Sacred Artifact, Shadow Flame doesn't like its breath."
"Your Highness Shadow Flame, don't you keep it?" Russell was surprised.
"Whoever finds it, keeps it." Shadow Flame Dragon said, "If you are afraid, send it to the Kingdom of Blazing Torrents, Ares may do something with it... This kid is dishonest, cunning, Shadow Flame doesn't like it!"
King Ares Lieyang, who can be called the god of war, is just a slightly older kid in the eyes of Shadow Flame Dragon.
Russell nodded: "Okay, I'll take the Extreme Ice Sacred Artifact back first... After I think it over, I'll decide whether to give it to King Ares."
