“To live is to die an unexpected journey.”

Samuel, the Bone Priest, has imparted a lot of knowledge and experience to everyone and is a wise man worthy of respect.

But Chicard remembered this sentence and could never forget it.

For the Bone Ancestors, death was a rare and common thing.

In the early days of the Resurrection Kingdom, civilian mortality was high.

When farmers farm, they often encounter predatory wild animals, the most common being wild boars and bison.

They will suddenly rush into the fields to feast. If the farmer dodges and fails to escape, he will be knocked over by them and turn into a pile of broken bones when he lands. If he is unlucky, his skull will be crushed and he will die on the spot.

Herdsmen are most afraid of electric wolves and rock bears.

These two extraordinary monsters are not as easy to talk to as beasts. If the beasts that rush into fields and houses are looking for something to eat, which can be considered stealing and robbing at best, then the electric wolf and rock bear are killing and stealing goods with purpose.

Once they launch an attack, they will first kill all the surrounding herders, and then enjoy the various livestock in the pasture. Sometimes they don't do it for food, but just enjoy the process of hunting and killing.

The kingdom's military strength was not enough to ensure the safety of farmland and pastures, and the soldiers had great difficulty facing extraordinary monsters. This situation lasted for hundreds of years.

Until Yao God set his sights on this world.

With the arrival of the prophet Maocao, the entire Resurrection Kingdom began to undergo a series of changes: increasing remuneration to encourage animal husbandry and planting, expanding and strengthening the army, and the king must also follow the election system. Come over one after another for support...

Chicard witnessed the earth-shaking changes in the kingdom.

During his unexpected journey to death, Chicard felt for the first time the changes brought about by living.

The mage Andre told him about the outside world.

"I come from the fifth level of the abyss. There used to be constant wars there, but it is also a very wonderful place. There are many mage towers we built on the ground, there are centaur cavalry patrolling and running on the plains, and there are people practicing on foot in the forests and mountains. Monks and vampires turn into bats, often passing by in the night..."

"You can go take a look if you have a chance."

"You are an optimistic adventurer, Zikad. You will encounter a lot of troubles and dangers, but that is the path you will choose... Some people will choose the path that many people have traveled, those places are safe and flat, But because it’s been stepped on everywhere, it’s hard to have any surprises.”

Andre smiled and patted Chicard's dry shoulder: "And you, my friend, you will take those less traveled paths. I know you will do that, if not now, then one day in the future. choice.”

Soon after, the hero Siddal accomplished a near-impossible feat.

It proves with its actions on the battlefield that the skeletal ancestors can also become feared and revered giants, and that the thin skeleton body does not only represent humbleness and cannon fodder.

everything is possible.

During the same period of time, Chicard also applied to become a reporter for the "Shacheng Di News" and was responsible for local reporting in the Resurrection Kingdom.

It follows and reports the entire marriage ceremony of Martyr God and Theodore at Kashima Shrine. Both God and Apostle Theodore are too low-key, and there is no news about their appearance outside the shrine.

The news was as little as one sentence, and Chicard retained some elements that the masses liked in the report.

After the report came out, it received several beatings, and the opponent's attacks were so cruel and accurate that Chicard was cut into pieces by five horses before he could recover. The bones all over its body were severely shattered, and it took a long time to recover.

Then he was recruited by Di Newspaper Office to its headquarters in Shacheng, where he was responsible for local reporting.

…

With the baby in his arms, Chicard was in a strange mood.

The ancestors of the White Bones are sterile, and the new population depends entirely on the Bone Mounds. Therefore, there is no concept of family, and they are more divided by occupational groups.

It was heard from Master Andre before.

"It is not easy for my wife to give birth to a child. She is a vampire. It is difficult for a supernatural person to give birth to the next generation...Alyosha and I were very scared at first. We were both too busy and lacked time to accompany the children. "

"But actually having a child is a wonderful feeling. Zikad, I can't say it, but I just feel that I am full of more hope and fighting spirit for life...I want to become a qualified adult. and role models. Children are the future and the world belongs to them.”

When Andre said this, there was a satisfied smile on his face, as if he had received a gift from the gods.

Chicard carefully held the baby dug out from under the ice.

He has delicate and thin skin, but his whole body is as cold as snow. He looks so weak, and his body is expanding and contracting slightly.

The Nibelungen child slowly opened his eyes.

His eyelashes are very long and the pupils in his eyes are blue, like gems. His small lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but no words came out.

In the end, he just held Chikard's bone-white fingers tightly with his soft little hands, as if nothing could make him let go.

But Zikad has an idea.

It dug out of the toolbox, smeared the bones of the hand with lard, and slipped out from between the baby's fingers.

"Sorry, I really didn't expect to dig you out."

"Just continue to sleep."

Chicard placed the baby back in the pit, quickly buried it in ice and tamped down the ground with a shovel.

When it packed up its things and turned to leave, it found that the child had climbed out of the ice pile and looked at it curiously with blue eyes.

When Chicard walked, he walked too. The child crawled nimbly on the ice, not slow at all.

This made Chikard a little embarrassed.

If you bury him again, the child may still come out. According to Andre, children are very energetic and very heavy when sleeping, but when they wake up, they are as excited as a berserker.

Zicard rummaged through his backpack.

Got it!

It found a bottle of magic potion [sleeping potion] and drank it all for the baby. The other party quickly fell asleep and lay motionless on the ground.

very good.

Good boy.

Chicard buried it in the underground ice cave again.

This should be no problem.

But when it walked to the edge of the Kingdom of Mist with its backpack on its back, it suddenly saw that the child was following behind it again.

Although the baby couldn't help but yawn, he still followed tenaciously.

Chicard realized that this child had a stubborn desire to follow him, but he did not dare or could not leave the Kingdom of Mist.

So when he walked out of the Kingdom of Mist, the baby looked at this side blankly, but there was a look of nostalgia on his face - but he didn't cry.

Chicard gave him the empty bottle of sleeping potion as a souvenir.

…

Returning to the newspaper office in Shacheng, Chicard handed the crystal phase he took with [Coral Crystal Phase] to the newspaper office. After these crystal phases are selected, artists will be asked to copy them and put them on newspapers.

A few days later, the latest issue of Shacheng Di News was released, and one of the headlines was "Exploring the Kingdom of Fog" written by Chicard.

This is the first detailed record of a visit to the Land of Mist in history, but there is no mention of the Nibelungen babies in the ice.

A month later, Chicard entered the Kingdom of Mist again.

This time it wants to investigate a strange incident that caused a lot of noise.

According to feedback from scholars of the Temple Society, frequent earthquakes occur on the ground in the Kingdom of Mist, and the ice begins to cause violent fluctuations like ocean waves, making it difficult and dangerous for them to collect ice spring toxins.

Deep underground in Niflheim, some kind of power seems to be gradually resurrecting.

In response, the Blood Knight guarding the Eternal Fountain just said: "It's a giant."

According to legend, the Kingdom of Mist is one of the origins of giants.

At least one giant is being conceived in the Kingdom of Mist.

Chicard carried his bag all the way into the Kingdom of Fog. On this ice sheet covered with cold white fog, it experienced two small earthquakes, almost damaging the precious [Coral Crystal Phase].

While it protected the all-important collector gear, the large tool bag was missing.

It contains not only necessary supplies such as magic potions, iron picks, shovels, ropes, and stoves, but also important special oils. Chicard must smear these oils all over his body to prevent the bones and joints of his body from freezing. and embrittlement.

Death is approaching.

Just when Chicard was showing off his worries, a young man walked out of the fog. He found Zicard's tool bag and returned it intact.

"Thank you very much! It really helped!"

Chicard was so excited that he gestured in Yao language and said, "I am Chicard, a news collector from the Di newspaper office. Are you a member of the Temple Association?"

The boy smiled at him.

Only then did Chicard feel something was wrong.

The boy was wearing tattered clothes that were worn by adults. His hands were not wearing gloves and his neck was exposed to the ice mist. He still had a pair of bare feet under his wide trouser legs.

He looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old, with snow-white hair, dazzlingly white skin, and blue eyes.

The boy couldn't speak, but he could understand what Chicard meant.

He made his famous series of hand gestures and pointed to the pendant around his neck - a small glass bottle tied with a string.

Zicard watched.

"Digging? No, digging through the ice?"

"sleep?"

"Drink water? Drink alcohol? Drink medicine?"

"Leave, say goodbye?"

…

Chicard's mandible suddenly clicked, and one of his teeth fell out.

It finally knew what the other person was talking about.

The child was talking about how he was the baby who was dug up by himself.

Chicard was both excited and extremely surprised.

The Nibelungs grow so fast that they can grow from a baby to a teenager in just one month.

At this time the ground shook again.

There was a surprised expression on the young man's face, and he looked into the distance.

Chicard managed to steady his body.

It discovered that a huge hole opened in the ground, and many people crawled out from the ground and the glacier. They are all like teenagers, with white hair, white skin, and blue eyes, but most of them are very young, almost all of them are children, and there are very few boys and girls.

At the center of all the Nibelungen children is a young man whose gender is difficult to distinguish.

His silver hair spread out, almost completely covering his body, like some kind of mysterious totem. All the children moved toward him, reaching out to touch him.

The moment they touched it, these children merged with the long-haired young man, making the young man taller. With the assimilation and integration of a large number of children, the shape of the young people in the center is constantly changing and distorting.

He turned into a towering giant, wearing armor made of ice and snow, with a faint blue light lingering on the armor.

The boy looked at Chicard and then at the giant.

He pointed to the giant facing this way and signaled that he should go there too.

Zikad didn't feel good.

As a bone mage, it also has a certain understanding of the basics of spells and various abilities. This is a completely fused spell, almost like a symbiotic body.

The giants of the Land of Mist were originally formed by the children of the Nibelungen - in other words, the Nibelungen clan is more like the childhood of the giants of the Land of Mist.

A large number of children can form an adult giant.

This way of growth makes Zicard feel dangerous and weird.

It grabbed the boy: "Don't go."

The boy showed a confused and hesitant expression on his face. He gestured to indicate that the call of the giant made it difficult for him to resist.

"I don't know if you can understand... You can go over and become part of the giant."

Zicard gestured: "You can also not go back and live as a child outside. Becoming a giant is not your only choice to live."

The boy seemed to understand.

But he showed an uneasy and nervous look on his face, as if he was terrified just thinking about resisting the giant.

The boy stood there, still hesitant.

However, the giant had completed the fusion of other Nibelungen children and walked towards this side step by step. At this time, it was more than 30 meters tall, like a small mountain, and every step it took would shake the earth.

The giant's broad five fingers fell from the air towards the boy.

The boy suddenly turned his face, showing an expression of pain and fear.

Zicard grabbed him and dragged him behind him.

"Run! Run out!"

The boy seemed to understand and ran away.

Zicard also wanted to run away, but the giant slapped him and broke his body. At the critical moment, Zicard skillfully threw his skull far away with both hands, but unfortunately it got stuck on an ice cone.

The giant raised his foot and stepped on Zicard's skull.

At the last moment of his life, Zicard felt neither fear nor terror.

It was just annoyed.

It was a pity that he could not take pictures of the Nibelung children growing into giants.

...

However, the expected death fragment did not appear.

A black lightning fell on his head, hitting the giant staggering back two steps.

Zicard came to his senses and saw a black-armored knight standing in front of him.

Blood Knight Nevid.

"Who allowed you to hurt the Yao people, Frost Giant?"

The giant roared with anger and unwillingness, but finally spread his hands, as if eager to explain something.

The Blood Knight just raised the sword in his hand and pointed it at the other party: "If you do it again, I will send you back to the Inexhaustible Spring."

The Frost Giant's whole body suddenly stiffened, and it hurriedly turned and retreated, quickly disappearing in the ice fog.

Zikade breathed a sigh of relief.

Where the power of Lord Yao is, the Yao people can get the greatest degree of security.

The Land of Mist is the territory and origin of the giants, and it is also the bed and hometown of the Nibelungen family, but only God Yao is the master here.
