Lord Chronicle

Chapter 164
Directly opposite the three ice bridges, in the center of an open space, a huge statue stands proudly.This sculpture is a figure, head held high, brave and mighty, its majestic and heroic, earth-shattering, weeping ghosts and gods, only the sculptures of the gods of Mojina enshrined in the temple can compare with it.

Ordinarily, it is very reasonable and logical for a sculpture to appear here.It's just the appearance of this statue, no matter how you look at it, it looks like someone...

So soon, the eyes of Chip and Kress fell on Saul again.

At the same time, Sol, who looked up at the statue for a long time, also burst out two words from between his teeth: "Damn!"

The features of this sculpture, with its cheeky brows and mouse eyes, its wretched expression, and its lustful demeanor, are completely replicas of our Lord Marquis Sol.

Seeing that he noticed the statue, the barbarian warrior on the side said excitedly: "We specially invited the dwarf craftsman from Lovell to carve this in order to thank you for your kindness to the barbarians. How about it, doesn't it look like?"

I... oh my god...

For a moment, Saul really felt absurd.No wonder I was recognized as soon as I arrived at the gate of the city. You said that such a big statue is placed here, can everyone not know it?
No wonder the dwarves are said to be good at craftsmanship. This is true. They must have observed Sol a lot in Lowell, and his expression and personality are simply amazing.

It’s just that Saul was about to cry when he saw it. I said that if you want to sculpt, you can sculpt in a pure freehand style.This is good, the sculpture below the neck is beautified, but above the neck is completely realistic.

If one day this sculpture spreads across the entire continent, how can you call me Sol in the future to meet people?
Here Saul is in grief, and Kress on the side can't help but burst out laughing.But because Sol was right next to him, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so he quickly covered his mouth with his hand.

It's a pity that this kind of thing, the more he endured it, the more difficult it was to control. In the end, he simply squatted on the ground covering his stomach, his shoulders twitching, but this appearance was more hateful than laughing out loud.

The barbarian warrior looked at him strangely: "What happened to him?"

Sol said weakly: "Don't pay attention to him. I suddenly feel a little tired, please take me to Lord Irrfan."

Unexpectedly, the barbarian warrior nodded: "Understood, please follow me."

Under his leadership, the three of them crossed the ice bridge to the other side of the city, where the new council hall of Xueyuan City was built.

It was a two-storey wooden house standing by the ice lake, perfectly built with thick logs and stones, and in order to take care of the huge size of the barbarians, it was built very huge, which was completely in line with the grand and rough style of the entire snowfield city One piece, it looks like it was written by a dwarf.

At this moment, in front of the wooden house, many barbarians and human merchants hurried in and out, showing the busy government affairs of this newborn city.

When they came to the door, the escorting barbarian warriors greeted the guards in front of the door, and then left.Sol's face was indeed big enough, without any delay, the guard immediately brought him to Irfan respectfully.

In a huge wooden room, Irrfan was sitting at a long, thick wooden table, writing something on a roll of parchment.The furnishings of this room are simple, except for the thick white bear fur on the floor, there are no extra decorations, showing the barbarian's unpretentious character.

When Irfan saw Sol appearing in front of the door, Irfan was slightly startled, and then stood up with a face full of surprise and greeted him: "Master Sol, I never expected to see you in Xueyuan City again."

I had lingering fears about the barbarian's heroic meeting etiquette. Before Irfan opened his hands, Sol hurriedly stretched out his hand: "I am also very happy to see that you are still healthy."

Seeing Sol's hand stretched out, Irfan chuckled, then opened his palm like a cattail fan, held his hand and shook it violently a few times.

Sol's whole body trembled, his shoulder almost dislocated, he grinned and took a breath, he had no choice but to comfort himself, this was better than the lethal and powerful bear hug.

Unexpectedly, before he had time to rejoice for his cleverness, Irfan, who finished the handshake ceremony, unceremoniously hugged him, and then gave him a firm hug.

Still not recovering from the huge earthquake just now, Thor's body was squeezed again, under Irrfan's double attack, he could even hear the groaning sound of his whole body bones.

Fortunately, Irrfan's warm welcome didn't last long, and Thor finally had to retreat unscathed.

After the two parties sat down, Irfan asked: "Master Saul is here in Xueyuan City this time, what's the matter?"

Sol secretly rubbed his sore shoulders: "Actually, I am here this time to prepare for a trip to the Gosmed Snow Mountain."

Irfan asked strangely: "Going to the snow mountain? This season... eh, could it be you?" His face changed suddenly, obviously he had vaguely guessed Sol's intention.

Sol nodded: "Yes, I'm going to Bravella's lair."

Irfan couldn't help taking a breath: "With all due respect, the white dragon has entered a dormant period, and no one can approach its lair, even if you go up..."

Sol waved his hand: "You don't have to worry about this, I will naturally have a way to see it."

The white dragon has an extraordinary status in the frozen plateau, and is worshiped by the barbarians as a divine beast.Seeing that Sol actually managed to see the dormant dragon, Irfan couldn't help but feel more reverence in his gaze.

Originally, for the barbarians, they would prevent any outsiders from approaching the dragon's lair, but Sol's status is extraordinary, and the last time he helped Bradwella find the treasure, this is naturally not the case.

So Irfan said straightforwardly: "In this case, is there anything Sir Saul can do for you?"

Sol nodded and said, "I want you to help me find a guide and prepare some necessary camping supplies."

Irfan immediately agreed and promised to prepare the necessary items for Thor to go up the mountain before tomorrow.Sol's depression over the statue improved again at the thought of handing over the key to Brevilla soon.

Soon the topic of the two turned to the matter of the barbarians sending troops to contain the orcs. Due to the distance and the fact that this matter was very secret, almost no one knew about it in Dinard, especially Sol who was far away in Lovell. to any news.

Now he is very concerned about whether the battle will be successful or not.Otherwise, after such a long time, if the orcs still don't withdraw, Broken Sword Gorge Fortress will be in danger.

Seeing him ask, Irfan started talking to Saul.It turned out that as early as two months ago, the barbarians supported by Dinar completed the arming of the first batch of troops, and immediately went to the border as agreed.

Due to the civil war and the fact that the main force of the orcs was transferred to Broken Sword Gorge, there was actually only one tauren patrol army and some kobold servants on the border of Nuo Da.

Although they had heard the news of the barbarians building the city long ago, the orcs were too busy to take care of themselves, and couldn't care about the distant frozen plateau at all.

Perhaps the orcs never thought that barbarians who have always been obedient would actually resist themselves, so when the tauren patrol army found a heavily armed barbarian army in front of them, they ignored the huge difference in strength between them and immediately Attacked.

It's a pity that the king of close combat that the orcs were proud of was vulnerable to the barbarians supported by Dinard's excellent weapons. Only then did they realize that something was wrong and retreated in embarrassment.

The barbarians did not pursue, but retreated into the frozen plateau after destroying several fortresses.But I believe that those tauren warriors who escaped will soon spread the news to Fang City.

Sure enough, after half a month, the orcs responded.An army mainly composed of tauren and lions went to the border, trying to defeat the barbarian troops.However, what they faced was no longer the scattered sand with the tribe as the unit holding wooden sticks, but the real army gathered in Xueyuan City.

So it's no surprise that the orcs were defeated again.

However, at this time, differences arose among the barbarians.It turned out that due to long-term oppression by orcs, the two sides have forged an unforgettable hatred.Some barbarians saw that the orcs who were domineering in the past were so vulnerable, and encouraged by the victory, they wanted to drive straight in and capture the city of orcs.

This idea was quickly recognized by more barbarians, and they had a fierce quarrel with those who insisted on stationing in the frozen plateau.After all, the army is composed of fighters from many tribes. When they acted together for the first time, it was difficult to coordinate.

Fortunately, as the commander, Conte Baker got the support of several main elders, and against all opinions, he still insisted on the established plan, focusing on restraining the orcs, and never attacking lightly.

Then another month later, after repelling the opponent's many attacks one after another, the orcs, who felt threatened, finally couldn't help it, and transferred the main force to besiege the Broken Sword Gorge Fortress.

Thor couldn't help being very excited to hear that the orcs had finally evacuated.In other words, since the outbreak of the war, Dinard's most serious crisis has finally been resolved.

It's really not in vain for my painstaking arrangements.

Thinking of this, he quickly asked: "The main force of the orcs has been attracted, how is the battle over there?"

Irfan said proudly: "Don't worry, we have enough weapons, and in the snowy field we are familiar with, those orcs are not opponents at all. Kante Baker is a very good commander, and he has defeated them in the past half a month." Many times."

Having said that, Saul felt a little uneasy.It was the first time for the barbarians to form an army hastily, and there were already many problems. They could only defeat the orc army repeatedly because of their extraordinary combat ability and familiarity with the snowfield environment.

If the battle is kept within the frozen plateau, of course nothing will happen, but once they leave their "home field", they probably won't be the opponents of the orcs who make a living from fighting.

Especially as Irfan mentioned just now, the voices of the barbarians chasing after the victory and plundering the city have appeared within the barbarians. This is by no means a good phenomenon.

Thinking of this, he said to Irfan: "The crisis in the Broken Sword Gorge Fortress can only be resolved thanks to your restraint. But I don't want to draw too many barbarians into the war, so you just need to maintain the status quo. It’s enough to contain the main force of the orcs at the border.”

He was euphemistically reminding Irfan that he must not rashly expand the scope of the war.

Irfan didn't seem to take it seriously, perhaps the streak of victories during this period of time had given the barbarian full confidence.For them who have been oppressed by orcs for a long time, these two months are the most proud time.

He replied: "I understand what you mean, but Kante Baker has always insisted on fighting only in the frozen plateau. As long as he is in command, the orcs will not be allowed to succeed."

Hearing what he said, Sol finally felt a little relieved.But suddenly, another thought popped into his mind.

Sometimes, even though the commander has a clear mind, he has to succumb to the situation at the time.The best example is when General Pintat led the Northern Legion to march southward and formulated a correct combat strategy, but because of those radical lords, it finally failed.

What if Conte Baker had the same problem?

Thinking of this, Sol couldn't help shivering.He wanted to remind him again, but seeing Irrfan who was in high spirits, he swallowed the words again.

It's tiresome to throw cold water all the time, forget it, I hope my worries are unnecessary.

Later, he also showed Irfan the power of the beads invented by Mary, which really aroused his great interest, and immediately decided to order a batch of improved incendiary bombs from Lovell.

Seeing that another deal was made, Sol was in a good mood, so he put his worries about the war behind him.That night, under the hospitality of Irfan, he had a good sleep.

************************************************** *********
Early the next morning, when Sol got up, the highly efficient barbarian had arranged for him everything he needed to go up the mountain.At the same time, two tall barbarian warriors were waiting outside.

Irfan pointed to the two and introduced to Sol: "This is Igna from the Storm Tribe, an excellent warrior. You have seen him when Lord Sol came last time. This is Buck from our Giant Whale Tribe." , he is very familiar with the Gosmed Snow Mountain and is the best guide."

Igna was the soldier who defeated the knight leader Tavia when Sol came to Snowfield City to conclude the covenant last time.At this moment, he was dressed in thick fur, with a huge longbow on his back, and a spear in his hand, majestic and majestic.

Seeing Sol looking at him, this handsome barbarian boy immediately showed a simple and honest smile.

The guide named Buck was a small man among the barbarians, only half a head taller than Kress.However, he has a vigorous appearance and a pair of piercing eyes. It can be seen that he is a person with strong adaptability.

"Do you know where I'm going?" Thor asked him.

Buck said without hesitation: "Yes, the patriarch has already told me. No matter what happens, I will send you to your destination safely."

Saul nodded in satisfaction, turned to Irrfan and said, "The patriarch has arranged for me so thoughtfully, I really don't know how to thank him."

Irfan chuckled: "Master Saul is too polite, this is nothing compared to what you have done for us. No matter what you need in the future, please feel free to ask."

After saying goodbye, a team of five people and four furry beasts left Snowfield City and set off for the towering Gosmed Snow Mountain.

Led by Buck, an experienced guide, the journey went very smoothly, and after a few days, Sol approached the mountain where Bravella's lair was located.

After camping on the mountainside for a rest that night, early the next morning, Sol couldn't wait to rush to the summit.

Unexpectedly, Igna and Buck, who had been working diligently these days, suddenly became hesitant.Saul asked strangely, only to realize that they were not willing to go to Bravella's lair.

The barbarians were so in awe of the white dragon that they dared not set foot on the mountain where it was.When Thor came last time, those barbarians followed because they wanted to help transport the treasure.

Buck said to Sol: "I'm sorry, please forgive me for not being able to go with you. But here is very close to the mountain peak, and the weather is also good, so there will be no problem."

Saul didn't care about this either. In fact, it would be good if the two of them didn't follow, the less people knew about the secret of the key and the treasure of Kajirido, the better.

Thinking of this, he had an idea, and said to Kress, "You also stay here to guard your luggage, and Chip can just accompany me."

Unexpectedly, Kress shook his head stubbornly: "Miss Jessica once ordered me not to leave your side even a single step."

As he said that, he scratched his head in embarrassment: "Besides, I also want to see what Bailong looks like."

Hey boy!Sol was so angry, but no matter whether he threatened or lured him, or even showed the authority of the lord, Kress remained unmoved and insisted on following Sol.

In the end, there was no other way, so Sol had to take him and Chip to climb up the mountain.

It didn't take long for the three of them to arrive at the hillside where Brevila's lair was.The place where the dragon's lair originally existed has been replaced by a crystal clear ice wall, which has obviously been sealed by the dragon language enchantment.

Walking to the dragon's lair, Sol cleared his throat and prepared to summon the dragon.However, after he took out the dragon scales, he noticed a serious problem.

He doesn't know how to use it at all!
After looking through the crystal clear scales for a while, Sol didn't find anything like mechanisms or prompts.He couldn't help complaining to Brevila, if you want to give me this thing, just explain how to use it clearly, so that I can't get up and down now, and I have to solve puzzles, what's the point?
Chip and Kress on the side had already cast doubtful eyes, and for the sake of the lord's face, Sol had no choice but to act.

Holding the dragon scale high in his hand, Thor yelled, "Brevila, I'm coming!"

The sound waves echoed in the surrounding empty snow-capped mountains, but after waiting for a while, there was no movement on the ice wall.

"Haha, I just tried it out, this time it's officially started."

Smiling embarrassingly at the two, Sol raised the dragon scale again: "In the name of me Sol, wake up, Bravella!"

It's a pity that the sleeping Bailong still didn't give him face, and the silent ice wall didn't even shake off any snowflakes.

"Damn it... Ice Snow Blesser, respond to your dragon scale call, wake up!"

"Not yet? Hey, Brevilla, the sun's on your ass."

"Open Sesame, Alibaba, I'll fuck your mother..."

……

After Sol tried all possible code words, there was no movement in the closed dragon lair.He gasped for breath, looked at the dragon scale in his hand, and couldn't help wondering, isn't that guy playing with me?

"My lord..." Seeing him in such a mess, Chip couldn't help but said.

"Don't say anything!" Sol stopped him with a wave of his hand: "Hmph, you are amazing. But I still have one last trick, watch my Pegasus shooting star..."

"Idiot, the white dragon is of ice attribute, you just need to put the dragon scales in the snow, and it will work."

Just at this moment, a pleasant voice sounded beside him.

"So that's the case, thank you very much." Suddenly reminded, Sol subconsciously agreed.

He was just about to lean over to put the dragon scales in the snow, when his body froze in place: "Huh, this sound?"

A wry smile that he didn't know how to describe appeared on his face, and he turned his neck stiffly bit by bit.Sure enough, Elebena, who had turned into a human form, was standing not far away and looking at him with a smile on her face.

For a moment, Thor felt dizzy.Why, why is she here! ?
At the same time, Chip and Kress also saw her, and they were both surprised: "It's you?"

"Hey, it's really rare, I didn't expect to meet you here." Elebena walked towards Sol with her hands behind her back and a smile on her face.

When they went to Feili City to cheat money, the two had met Elebena.Kress was about to draw his sword, but Chip stopped him.The latter shook his head at him, signaling not to act rashly.

Glancing casually at the two of them, Elebena walked up to Saul who was frozen there, and patted him on the back: "Hey, I'm asking you something, what are you doing here?"

"Uh...would you believe me if I said I was just lost?" After a brief short circuit, Thor's brain finally returned to function.

"Are you lost?" Elebena looked at the dragon scale in Sol's hand, then flicked two fingers to pinch it over: "What about this one?"

"I... I picked it up." Thor wiped his cold sweat.

Elebena weighed the dragon scale in her hand: "You are lucky to find this thing when you get lost."

"Ahaha, others say I'm a lucky one." Saul laughed dryly.

"This thing is very beautiful, how about giving it to me?" Elebena said.

"No!" Thor blurted out almost subconsciously.

Letting out a breath, Elebena's face sank: "That's the end of the joke. Tell me, what is the purpose of your coming here? Why is there a dragon scale that can awaken Bravella?"

Seeing this, Kress immediately pulled out the iron lump, but Saul stopped him with a wave of his hand: "Don't move!"
