Dark Iron Incident

And why should I care about the lives of those humans?Why care about other guys living in the forest?

Whether it is my pain or the strength I forced myself to face, it has nothing to do with them, so what do they have to do with me?

Who are they to me...?

... none of them ...

I can only protect myself, it is not them who protect me...

Not you either.

When Lord Winter stepped out of the Ice Palace again, there was a strong wind in the forest, and heavy snow fell without warning. Even the surrounding villages were not spared, and were severely covered by the heavy snow that fell for four days and four nights. Strictly, no matter how you clean it, there will be new snowflakes.

The forest is also facing the same situation. The flowers that can only bloom in spring and summer are hidden under the timely care of the cone monster. Even the ancient trees have fallen into a deep sleep, and all kinds of leaves are falling one by one. On the bare tree trunks, blue ice cones formed, densely packed, criss-crossing, covering the sky as far as the eye could see, turning the forest full of laughter and laughter into a dead city that only remained dark and cold .

Only in the corner farthest from the wild ice kiln is there a piece of green, which is taken care of by the sharp cone monster who was driven there. Zallion will never step into this corner, regardless of the monsters that escaped to this corner , or a monster who went far away, never approached the wild ice kiln during that period of never-melting ice and snow. The ice cave that once bloomed with flowers under Zon's wonderful hand became an isolated island, only living with a cold Winter Dragon.

Looking at Gary Face standing in front of him, Binglong said lightly: Neither Luanying Forest nor I are suitable for you, so you can go.

"Where's my kiss?"

"what."

"A long time ago, at a carnival, I asked you for a kiss. That night...not counting."

"That's enough, Garyface, go find someone else."

"...I like you, Zalyon."

"You liked it wrong from the beginning... Can't you see it?"

The leopard, who narrowed its eyes slightly, seemed to digest for a long time before it let out a laugh, and then fell silent again.At first Zallion thought he was crying, but then he thought about it. After all, crying in this place would cause his eyes to freeze.And the Son of the Earth just nodded in the end, without saying anything, and walked away, leaving the place where he had lived for a century.

The villagers didn't know what they did wrong. They angered the monsters in the extremely cold forest. They could only offer sacrifices every year, hoping to get some warmth. They sang carols, praising Apollo, the god of light, and Heli, the sun god. In Russia, worshiping the woodcutter who did not know when to stay, and rebuilding the altar of the three goddesses of fate, everything that should be done is endless and perfect, but the cold winter never left.Only in the height of summer does Demeter, the goddess of harvest, visit this poor place to melt the ice and snow for the people so that they can grow food against the clock.

The Winter Lord began to talk to the ice sculptures, building and breaking, until the perfection became trivial, and the brilliance became numb; he walked slowly from one side of the snow forest to the other, looking at the unchanging scenery in all directions, Enjoy the silence of nothingness.

He would accept all human sacrifices, occasionally in a good mood, and let the cold ravage less severely, and at this time, there would be praises for him from the village: He knows how gods control people's hearts Yes, but he is not interested in this set. If he is in a good mood, he is really just in a good mood. If he is in a bad mood, it is useless for humans to worship him.

For nearly 20 years, the giant ice dragon has not stepped out of the forest, and no matter who comes to the forest, he will never see him.

Sometimes waking up without knowing the time, Zallion thought that this kind of life would last forever, and there was nothing wrong with thinking about it carefully, at least he was unrestrained and happy...

Although sometimes he still has the illusion that Clegane is nearby, he always feels that the fire is walking aimlessly outside the forest, he does not feel heartache, nor does he feel bored, he will look up, Let your eyes follow the fire, sometimes the scorching heat will reach the remaining green land, sometimes it will reach the entrance of the human village, stop for a while, wondering if you are also looking into the depths of the forest.After this illusion disappears, he will continue to sleep.

But suddenly one day, when Luanying Forest was the coldest, Ice Dragon had a dream again—this dream was exactly the same as the first day in Frozen Forest. After a few years, it broke his self-styled life.

Clegane turned to look at the talking fire inspector.

"How many times have I told you to keep an eye on Cenelie at all times?"

"It's true that we were negligent, my lord... Dilmahas indeed forbade everyone from approaching at that time, saying that we questioned her identity as a mother, and we could only pay attention from a distance. I didn't expect it to be negligent, and I didn't expect her to plan it. So long."

"What do you mean premeditated?"

"Lord Cenelie's phantom has no shape, and we can't trace it at all. We can only find it along Dilmax, but she made some tricks and took another path, which misled us at first. , so lost some time."

"now what."

"……have not Get it yet……"

"say it one more time?"

"She herself went straight all the way, stopped in a few places, and finally turned to the Tyne Valley."

"The Tyne Valley is the lair of Lord Elabertani. Cenelie is not yet in her first year. What did she bring her there for?"

"...My lord, this is the problem... Larna reported that it seems that Lord Kenelie did not go to the Tyne Valley together."

Huolong's giant pupils narrowed into a slit, slowly got up, and the molten liquid attached to the skin fell off in pieces.

"Could she have done something to my child, forcing her to hide back to her hometown?"

"They left some scorched marks around the city of Piliwen where they stayed for a while. It was the fire of Dilmahas' dead leaves. There was a very strange mark in the center of the fire. We don't know what she burned. .”

"..."

Clegane's face twitched.

"Say, what city?"

"Piliwen City, my lord."

...She went to Chiron?What does she want to do?The fire dragon's head was straightened at a very slow speed. Except for the fire inspector, all the servants retreated to the back of the cave. They could feel that something was wrong from the terrible air pressure. Even the master came back after exiling his third brother. Never been this scary.

"Where is Meccane?"

"Laven is under control, do you need to bring her up?"

"control?"

"... She also wanted to go to the Tyne Valley. When she asked, she said that Dilmax asked her to go back and live for a few days. She was not sure if she wanted to escape, so she just controlled it."

"Chop off her feet and bring them up."

Aris faltered and carried out the order given to him.

No matter how loud Shi Jing cried in front of the fire detective, he didn't dare to make a sound when he knelt in front of the dragon. He could only breathe heavily while looking at the World Destroyer who was shaking his head left and right.

"If you have anything to say to me, just say it," Clegane said slowly, but with a hint of impatience. "Take your chance, kid."

"I really... I really don't know, Lord World Destroyer, I really don't know anything..."

"Aris."

"—I really don't know, my lord!—I thought Madam decided to take Miss Cenelie out for fun just because she was very happy to be pregnant with your child again!! I really thought it was like that , my lord...my lord...I really don't know where she took the young lady...I really don't know..."

"...Whose child is she pregnant with?"

"Madam, Madam said it is your child, Master World Destroyer...I, I asked her...I told her, if this child does not belong to Master World Destroyer, then even Arab...Erab Lord Tenney will be implicated, so you must...you must think clearly...but she said...it is yours...that is your child, my lord..."

Tildi glanced at Laven in a panic, and wanted to ask him if he had to do certain things to have a child, but he was kicked vigorously, only to find that the master had stood up, and the lava beneath him was no longer there. The golden light was emitted again, and all of them turned black. The already unstable ground cracked again, and the stone spirit who couldn't stand up screamed, but Aris rescued her, because the volcano king's emotional fluctuations were obviously not aimed at her. to go.

"impossible."

"What I said is true...what I said is true, my lord, you have to believe me...I can swear, I can swear, my lord, I can swear!!"

"impossible!"

When Clegane spoke, his eyes were not focused on any one place. He seemed to be looking at a corner of nothingness, talking to a nothingness. None of his subordinates, including Aris, had ever seen their master like this.

The chief fire inspector handed the crying goblin to Lawen, and asked him to take it away from the volcano, not to mention a stone elf, even their fire inspectors might not be able to bear what happened next.

The roar became louder and louder, and the fire-armored bats flew into the air. The old man on the observatory in Aper City rubbed his eyes. At first, he didn't know what happened. Although he knew that bats represented the law of volcanoes, he never Having seen so many, looking from here is like a black waterfall pouring into a volcano.

When he finally rushed to the big clock with a face ashen and frantically beat it with all his strength, a scene that his ancestors and his descendants could no longer see burst out in front of his eyes, and his vision seemed to be shrunk a little , The lonely volcano did not make any movement, the dead land with a radius of more than ten miles collapsed suddenly, the lava rushed out from the depths of the earth, and the sky also cracked a huge hole to accept the catastrophe.The immeasurable heat took the bell ringer's life without any pain, because it was really a split second, and he fell into the darkness before he even heard the rumble of the sky falling and the earth falling.

The bell ringer opened his eyes again, and the light that was as bright as the scorching sun disappeared, leaving only a narrow cave path with the sound of dripping water in the distance.Then the white shadow hiding in the dark swayed in the windless place, stretched out something like a hand, pointed to the depths, and led him forward.

Even Dilmahas, who was pacing up and down in her father's hall, seemed to feel the tragic eruption of the Extinct Volcano, and she became more and more uneasy, and even wondered for a few moments whether killing Cenelie was a mistake.

...No...fear is wrong, and I have no reason to fear the World Destroyer now.

Although at first I really wanted to question the strange king directly with the victory in my heart, but it was better to go to my father first to avoid the limelight as originally planned. I was alone in Klin Volcano, and it was useless to have a reason. Now I’m fine. , I have already told my parents all the grievances, and I will return to the volcano with my brothers in a few days to see what the Destroyer can do.
