Chapter 469 - 469 468 Hape and the Stupid Hair
Chapter 469: Chapter 468: Hape and the Stupid Hair Chapter 469: Chapter 468: Hape and the Stupid Hair Outside the western border of the Shadowflame Grand Duchy, upon the snowfields, the blizzard wailed continuously, the frozen snow particles swirling like a dust storm.
In the blurred vision.
One flickering large footprint moved from north to south, another flickering large footprint moved from south to north.
Eventually, the two footprints met on a snowfield which did not vary in direction – north, south, east, or west.
They then transformed into the figures of two Frost Giants, one about twenty meters tall, the other forty meters tall, and upon closer inspection, the right hand of the latter was missing a middle finger—that was unmistakably Shuang Da.
Snowflakes danced in the fierce wind.
Strange syllables occasionally sounded amidst the howling wind.
If a human who understood the Snow Demon language happened to pass by, they would have understood what the two Snow Demons were saying.
“Da, you truly are useless.”
“What attacked me was not a dragon, but an unseen powerful being… Ge, if you had been attacked, you would be missing a hand too.”
“How many excuses you have, you failure.”
“Ge, do you want to duel with me?”
“You no longer qualify to duel with me, merge with your Snow Giant ahead of time, and you have lost the potential to become a Frost Titan.” Ge’s voice was commanding without anger, “Da, it is your duty to serve me, as Heavenly Tracks are about to overlap, think about your kin!”
Heavy breathing ensued, followed by another series of Snow Demon utterances: “I will do everything possible to retrieve the Frost Relic, Ge, do not forget your promise, you promised in the new world to leave a piece of land for me and my kin!”
“To conquer the Dragon Sleep Continent, our kin can survive; failing to conquer the Dragon Sleep Continent, Frost Star will sink forever.”
“The Frost Giants have already crossed the portal from another realm, you and I are merely the vanguard, the great Frost Star will eventually conquer the Dragon Sleep Continent, and rejuvenate!”
“But we are still not doing enough, the ants of Dragon Sleep Continent and those large bats, are living too comfortably!” Although Ge was shorter than Shuang Da, his presence overwhelmed Shuang Da, “Ten thousand years of icebound have not killed this world, but instead made it stronger and unforgivable!”
Shuang Da was silent for a moment, then responded, “The energy transmitted through the portal from another realm is too weak, now that the Heavenly Tracks overlap, we, the vanguard, are able to descend… I hope the plan that has been in execution for ten thousand years can be perfectly completed by our generation.”
“It will be, the massive army is about to arrive, Ancient Thornland here will no longer be a lone battle between you and me, the ten ant nations on this hunting ground will soon become nourishment for Frost Star… Once all eight hunting grounds are harvested, Frost Star will surely be rejuvenated!”
“I have lost my Snow Giant, unable to manipulate the Snow Demons, I can only trigger simple explosions… Ge, everything depends on you now.”
Ge patted Shuang Da’s thigh, then shouted loudly, “For Frost Star!”
Shuang Da immediately followed, “For Frost Star!”
“Frost Star!”
“Frost Star!”
The two Frost Titans raised their wooden sticks high, their roars spreading through the wind and snow, and after a long while, each transformed back into large footprints, leaving the snowfield.
…
After a good sleep, Russell got out of bed, freshened up, and began to enjoy today’s lunch.
After lunch, he went to the oak forest on the east side of the castle, where Harpy Dragon Hape had recently taken a liking and spent most of his time.
“Hape!” Russell called out.
“Gu’er!” Hape flew up from the largest oak tree and landed in front of Russell.
“Look, what I have brought for you.” Russell’s hand reached behind him, holding a snow-white feather about half a meter long.
“Quack?” Hape opened his mouth to receive the feather.
Then he asked in his mind, “Russell, what is this? It feels very familiar, almost as if it has my scent?”
“How should I put it, this is probably the tuft of hair from your ancestor’s head,” Russell said, pulling out a mirror. “Look, you have a tuft on your head too, but yours is a bit shorter, and this one is much longer and has a richer texture.”
“My ancestor’s tuft of hair?”
“Yes, it belonged to the Dragon Domain Lord during the Dark Ages… I think, Theo, the initial contract partner of Link, was probably the first Harpy, and you are likely a descendant of the Harpy’s bloodline. Greentown Snow Forest is the place for advancement.”
Russell repeated the inscribed text on the metallic boulder.
Hape was deeply attracted by the story: “Theo is my ancestor? If the story took place at the beginning of the Icebound Era, then it has been ten thousand years… Can the Pseudo-Dragon lineage really be passed down for such a long time?”
“I don’t know, Hape, this is all just speculation. But the greatness of life lies in the fact that you never know how resilient they are, capable of thriving in such harsh environments.”
Snow Demon crossed the portal from another world, bringing with him the ice holy artifact.
Dragon Sleep Continent had endured a Dark Age lasting five thousand years, devoid of dragons, bipedal flying dragons, or elves. There would not be dragons carving out Volcanic Oasis or bipedal flying dragons creating Warm Enclave, and the whole world was cold and icy.
Yet, even such harsh conditions did not stop the continuation of human life.
It even gave birth to the flourishing Warm Age, with the help of dragon power, humans once again established civilization.
“Yes, life is so grand,” Hape agreed, “Even death cannot stop the soaring of life, Russell. Your and Polly’s evolution is the greatest proof… Perhaps this tuft of hair really belonged to my ancestor.”
Russell smiled, “Regardless, this tuft has at least some connection with you… Maybe it can help you evolve into a Pseudo-Dragon, what do you think?”
“I don’t know,” Hape responded, “I need to verify its attributes. Russell, I want to go out to Greentown Snow Forest, maybe revisiting the old place, this tuft of hair will interact with Cold Spring Point in an unknown way.”
“Okay, I’ll go with you!” Russell immediately summoned Unicorn Polly, and after a moment’s thought, called over the Ouroboros Snake as well.
Accompanied by Hape, they flew towards Greentown Snow Forest.
A moment later.
Upon arriving at Greentown Snow Forest, the Owl Dragons at Greentown Garden Cold Spring Point greeted Hape with “quacks.”
Hape, full of vigor, dropped a bag of roasted mouse meat, treating his kin to a feast.
He was still holding that tuft of hair in his mouth.
When the tuft of hair entered the range of the Cold Spring Point, it was clear to see that the tuft of hair, presumably left by a Pseudo-Harpy Dragon, suddenly flickered with a faint white light, pulsating with the regularity of breathing.
The Owl Dragons, who were scrambling for the roasted mouse meat, seemed captivated by the tuft of hair, and quickly stopped their scuffling behaviors.
They gazed quietly at the tuft of hair in Hape’s mouth.
Hape, standing on the branches of a large tree, felt moved and released the tuft of hair from his mouth. The tuft, glowing with faint white light, fluttered to the ground like a leaf.
Gentle winds blew from all directions.
Juxtaposed against the declining temperatures due to the oncoming Ice Age, this patch at the Cold Spring Point seemed to return to a season of blooming flowers.
However, this astonishing scene soon receded, and the tuft of hair on the ground ceased to emit white light. Simultaneously, the tuft of hair on Hape’s head began to emit a faint white light.
After a long pause,
Hape leapt from the branch, picked up the tuft of hair again, and landed on Russell’s shoulder.
He whispered in his mind, “Russell, I feel it. This tuft of hair indeed belonged to my ancestor… This is a gift from my ancestor, concealing the insights of life and death during the ascension to Pseudo-Dragon, within this tuft of hair.”
