Chapter 1337: Ice Dragon (1)
Chapter 1337: Ice Dragon Clan (I)
The lower-class dragon clan and dragon believers living here are basically ice-type, otherwise they would not be able to survive, but they were not strong enough to be immune to cold. Especially the dragon believers, most of them are dressed tightly, and they are still short and fat, otherwise they will not resist the freezing.
Our arrival made these weak guys feel uneasy - the big guys from the palace above, with powerful pressure, was like turning on the pause button. Everyone stopped for a moment, and then the pause was lifted, and the slow playback was turned on, plus the volume was lowered, everyone became extra careful...
As a tour guide, the Ice Naga was arrogantly leading the way and introduced us to the main functions of each area. For example, the place we just came to was the largest square, and even allowed two giant dragons to fight. When there were situations, the dragon soldiers could gather here. There were many small holes on the edge of the stone wall, which were shops and residences. Of course, it was for the dragon believers who were doing business and mixed work. The half-dragon soldiers had their own special residence.
"It feels like I'm back to the subway hall of that year," Leo sighed, "it's mainly because the light is almost there, and there is no subway train passing by..."
Of course there is no subway here, not even a car, but there are transport tools similar to sleds, pulled by a small horse with thick fur.
Leaving the largest hall, the rest of the place is much smaller. The living on the lower floor of the Dragon Clan is pretty good, and the living of the Dragon believers is much worse. In Leo's words, it is: "The slums and simple dormitories, yes, it's just a pigeon cage..."
Speaking of pigeon cages in a city in China, I have a little impression. In fact, the living conditions of the residents there are not bad, but the housing prices are particularly high for various reasons. Many people can only squeeze in one room, and each person's living space is only the size of a bed. However, they have good social security, and here, the lives of the dragon believers are very bad - they are the real slave class, and it is the luckiest thing to survive.
Compared with the cramped and dirty residential areas, the production area is much spacious and clear. Many plants suitable for underground planting, including moss, ferns and mushrooms, all contain ice elements. In addition, there is not completely light, and some ground plants that do not like sunlight can be grown. There is even a small area that specializes in planting ice-type Oyed plants. There are half dragons and sub-dragons here to protect them, and the planting area is not as good as those of the wood-type dragons, so the safety is higher.
The area where Oyd is planted is close to urban water sources. Of course, it is not very dependent on water here, after all, there is ice everywhere.
There is also a small breeding area in the city, which raises mice, earthworms and even cockroaches, which are considered as food for dragon believers...
"The survival mode of the end of the world," Leo sighed again, "Maybe they can only eat these..."
The Apocalypse is a subject category in Earth science fiction works. To put it bluntly, some people fear that technology is too developed, leading to various disasters, such as the classic zombie virus, nuclear war wasteland, glacier reappearance, and glacier melting... In such an extreme environment, perhaps people's lives are really like these dragon believers, who can only squeeze in cramped residential areas, plant anaerobic plants, and eat small animals that would have felt extremely disgusting...
Of course, with scientific thinking and expecting that such a doomsday can be considered a sense of crisis. There is an idiom in China called "Worrying Nothing" which is a manifestation.
However, people in the main plane will never think too much - after all, although the lives of most civilians are not as difficult as those of these dragon believers, they are not as rich as those on earth, and they have no time to consider the end of the world. If there is really nothing wrong with worrying about, the only thing they are worried about is the invasion of the demon world and the natural disasters of the undead.
After visiting most areas of Bingling City, I also paid special attention to the way out of the city.
The entrance to the top of the mountain is dedicated to the city lord, Dragon General and his subordinates, which is equivalent to the Tinglongping where Oren is stationed in the city. There are actually other channels for the lower dragon clan and dragon believers to leave the city, and there are three, all of which are as high as 20 meters and more than 30 meters wide, which is enough for the inlet and exit of the Asian dragon and the real dragon, and the exit is distributed in the foot of the mountain.
Leo noticed that there were not many creatures on the surface, and whether it was ice-attributed plants or monsters, they were far fewer than the frost elemental plane.
After visiting this city under the ice, dinner time is almost here. When we returned to the palace, Lord of Iceland and Coria were already waiting.
The status of this Bingling City Lord and Oren are actually a bit similar. After all, they are both the first city close to the border, and they are quite exiled to guard the border. However, the Bingling City Lord has a much better mentality, and I don’t know if it is due to the personality of the ice-attribute creature.
Coria was a little dissatisfied with our late arrival, and the Lord of Bingling City advised him a few times.
There are several cold dishes, or even frozen dishes, but this does not affect our teeth. One of the black fruits aroused my interest - the outer skin of the fruit is like roasted into charcoal, but the inner one is a pulp of amber color. It doesn't have to chew it, and it will be sucked and it will be sweet and cool.
"This is a specialty in the snow," said the Lord of Bingling City to us. "The fruit is silver-white when ripe, but the taste is sour and astringent. After picking it, it is frozen, and the flesh turns into sweet puree. You probably don't have it there."
"Isn't it just frozen pears?" Leo also became interested, "I also ate them back then."
Coria and Yemengard were actually not very interested in this kind of sweetness, and Sheila felt that it was not very sweet after eating it - of course this thing is not as good as refined sugar, but it has a bit of coolness and fruity aroma.
Other dishes, after introducing the Lord Bingling City, there is nothing strange about it. Coria even used her eyes to signal me to "make something delicious to open his eyes"...
I said I received it, and then a scene of being forced to pretend to be thirteen began.
I originally planned to have a table of hot food that is suitable for winter, but I thought that the Lord of Bingling City didn't seem to like hot food very much, so I temporarily replaced it with a bunch of cold dishes - cold dishes, cold noodles, cold noodles, jelly, plus a few cups of cold drinks, all of which were collected from the city below.
The Lord of Bingling City was originally disdainful of the food of those lower-class dragon believers, but after my preparation, the odor left behind by the rough production methods of the dragon believers was removed, which was particularly refreshing, especially the cold meat. I used spices brought from the wooden dragon territory. The smell was completely fishy, and the taste was naturally self-evident.
The Lord of Bingling City was naturally happy to see the hunt and wanted to exchange his collection for the recipe. I taught the recipe to the Ice Nagas for free. The Lord of Bingling City suddenly had a strong favor for me and directly said that we would have to entertain us when we returned.
I have become accustomed to such small things, and Coria also feels quite proud, especially in the feeling of City Lord Ling that I am just her subordinate rather than her companion. The feeling is not much different from the protagonist in Yaya's novels...
However, Yemenggard had basically not much emotional fluctuation.
After the meal, we rested for one night and continued on our way.
The itinerary on the next day was relatively calm.
The so-called calm means not meeting the ice dragon general, nor staying in the city that passed halfway through. It was not until dark that I arrived in a city to rest.
In fact, we encountered two ice storms along the way, but this could not affect us at all. Coria took us directly to the sky and crossed the storm area.
The city where you rest is similar to Bingling City, but the underground part is larger. Long Jiang, who is guarding the city, is a woman, and her demeanor of the snow queen, is deeply favored by Leo.
However, this Snow Queen was so cold that she was very cold to us. If it weren't for the dragon paper scroll brought by Coria, she might not have wanted to pay attention to us and would just treat us casually.
Yemenggard and I visited the city before going to bed and found that there were mineral veins here. A dragon believer with dwarf and rat blood was good at digging and mined a lot of metal. The dragon army in the armed city often went out to hunt. In general, the situation of the lower-level residents here is better than that of Bingling City. However, under the rule of a female dragon general with a cold personality, the residents did not seem to be so lively. Even if we don’t come, their lives are quieter, and they are not as noisy and lively as Bingling City.
Say goodbye to the cold and arrogant dragon general, we continue to move forward, and after seven days, we finally arrived at the frozen throne.
The Frozen Throne is actually the name of the capital of the Ice Dragon Clan, not the throne that belongs to the Lich King in the Earth computer game that Leo Xinnian Niannian.
The whole city looks like a throne standing on an ice field from a distance, with a magnificent spirit. When we approached, patrolling dragon generals and real dragons came to interrogate us and then welcomed us into the city.
At the highest point of the "back" of the entire throne, on a platform with a diameter of less than fifty meters, we saw a super-small "Frozen Throne". This throne is a reduced version of the entire city model, less than two meters wide and about one meter five meters high. The only dragon king in the ice dragon currently sits on it.
Yes, there is only one dragon king in the Ice Dragon Clan, and it is said that there are only thirty-two dragon generals. The top is the Dragon Emperor, which can be regarded as the withering of talents.
Two elderly dragon generals stand on each side of the mini throne, who are civil and military ministers.
