In the Ice Cliff Territory, compared to the somewhat desolate scene after the war with the human army, it became much more lively at this time.
Two huge white dragons, arctic ice spirits, ogres, kobolds, a large number of magical creatures, ferocious beasts, ferocious species, as well as the lowest-status tauren tribe, the Ironback clan...
........
When the mining candidates were ready, Garen's mind couldn't sit still and drifted towards the white crystal veins still located in the Frost Giant tribe...
White crystal, a magical gem with cold properties.
They are translucent clean gemstones, as crystal clear as ice crystals. When light is reflected through the white crystal and reflected towards the surroundings, it can shine with dazzling colors. They are the favorite gemstone type for cold creatures.
The first magical gem that Garen Dragon ate during his life was the White Crystal, which he borrowed from the White Dragon Lady.
After eating the white crystal, he felt the cold wave-like magic power surging in his body, and the thrill of being nervous and vigilant about Bai Longniang's return. He still recalls it very clearly now, as if it happened yesterday.
Because he has a certain amount of white dragon blood, Garen prefers white crystal.
When he learned about the white crystal veins from Bai Longniang, he was already determined to capture them all.
The ogres of the Bonebreaker Clan are now gathering in the Ice Cliff Territory because they want to prepare for the next robbery of the mineral veins.
The winter wolves are currently located in the Snow Ridge Pine Forest because the Snow Ridge Pine Forest is in the east, closer to the Frost Giant tribe.
Garen sent them to explore the situation of the frost giant tribe. They are small in size and powerful. They are not easy to be discovered as spies. Moreover, frost giants have a tradition of hunting together with winter wolves, so they will not directly provoke a war if they are discovered.
.
According to what Lang Evil said, a frost giant once approached the Wolf Heart Clan to establish a cooperative relationship, but was rejected by it.
After being rejected by the winter wolf, the frost giant did not become angry, but calmly returned to the tribe. From then on, he rarely went to the snowy pine forest. There were quite a few winter wolf clans in the far north ice field, and the frost giant did not fight against one clan.
mean.
However, although the family members had gathered and prepared, Garen did not act immediately.
He thought about learning a six-ring plastic fireball and a blazing fireball, and then giving those blue-skinned frost giants a taste of fire.
True giants and true dragons are old enemies of each other, and there is hatred engraved in their blood and souls between the two. Garen, who has accepted the inheritance of dragons, also has no favorable impressions of them.
Not just in the world of the main material plane.
Ancient dragons and ancient giants in the star realm or other planes have never stopped fighting. When they meet, it is almost an endless and cruel fight.
However, the sixth-ring fireball technique is still a high-quality variant from Moulton, and it is quite difficult to learn. Garen feels that it will be difficult to learn it in a short period of time.
He decided that if he couldn't master the blazing fireball within a week, he wouldn't wait any longer.
At the same time, a familiar dragon power passed by, and the creatures in the ice cliff territory raised their heads in unison. After seeing a white dragon shadow, they lowered their heads as if nothing had happened and continued with their own affairs.
In the dragon's nest, Garen felt the power of the dragon and couldn't help but feel a headache.
Soon, the graceful and exquisite white dragon walked into his dragon's nest.
The White Dragon Lady brought Garen's favorite prey again. After moving lightly with dragon steps and walking to Garen's side, she asked softly and curiously in crisp dragon language: "Are you planning to attack the frost giant tribe?"
Because she has been in and out of Garon's territory many times, she has a better understanding of the gathering situation of the family members here, and can see the family members' preparations for the next battle.
Garen nodded, accepted the prey brought by Bai Longniang without any courtesy, and began to eat in front of her.
It happened that he was a little hungry.
Since Bai Longniang has been coming here almost every day these days, Garen has become accustomed to her comings and goings, and he has figured out that she covets his beauty, regardless of the age difference, and really has some wrong ideas.
The biggest reason is that Bai Longniang has determined that Garen was swapped by the Crystal Dragon and has nothing to do with her. Garen can't explain why his appearance is completely different from that of the White Dragon, but more like a Silver Dragon.
Evil dragons have always been selfish and rarely give anything to other creatures except when they want to mate.
The willingness to happily send Galleons hard-to-hunt prey can already explain a lot of things. Of course, it is definitely impossible for the White Dragon Lady to send treasures, and dragons will not give treasures when courting.
Normally, Garen should have made it clear in a straight and stern manner that he refused Bai Longniang's act of giving gifts.
But the problem is that the prey brought by Bai Longniang are all the types he likes to eat.
Since those preys belong to the upper-level hunters in the arctic ice field, it is difficult for Garen's family members, even the dire frost tigers and winter wolves, to bring him one every day so steadily.
It takes a lot of effort for Bai Longniang to catch such a prey every day.
It also takes a certain amount of time and energy for Garen to do it himself, which is not as comfortable as waiting for the other party to deliver the food directly.
Faced with this kind of sugar-coated bullet, Gallon finally decided to maintain an indifferent attitude, eat the sugar-coating, reject the bullet, and let herself retreat.
With Bai Longniang's character, she wouldn't last long before giving up.
"In a few days, that mine will be mine."
Garen gnawed on the large prey that was frozen, and said something vaguely in dragon language.
Bai Longniang sharpened her dragon's teeth, and the dragon's tail flicked restlessly on the ice crystal ground.
She said displeasedly: "Can't you take me with you? I'm an adult dragon after all. It's not a problem to deal with a few frost giants. You just need to give me some white crystals afterwards."
Garen shook his head, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said: "My subordinates have enough power and I don't need you."
Bai Longniang's strength will not be of much use against the frost giants.
After a pause, he looked at the smooth and smooth scales on Bai Longniang's body, and said: "Besides, you are still a few years away from adulthood. Strictly speaking, you are just a young dragon. Don't think of yourself as an adult dragon."
Bai Longniang's eyes widened, her breathing became heavy, and she looked unhappy.
Garen continued to eat with his head buried in it, enjoying the food without saying anything.
Next to her, Bai Longniang looked at the cold Galen and snorted coldly. Then she moved her dragon claws and snatched away a small portion of the prey that Galen had eaten, and said angrily: "I won't let you eat it!"
She had a cold expression on her face as she grabbed the remaining prey. The dragon's wings shook, and she turned around and flew away from the dragon's nest without even waiting for Garen to say anything to persuade her to stay.
Garen had no intention of staying.
In the dragon's nest, he looked at the White Dragon Lady who was leaving in the distance.
On the one hand, he felt that Bai Longniang had been treated deliberately coldly by him, and now she was probably giving up and would no longer have any wrong thoughts towards him, which was something to be thankful for.
On the other hand... he felt a little pity for missing a good meal every day.
"After you get the white crystal veins, give her some. Consider it the reward for this time."
Garen shook his head, looked away from Bai Longniang who was retreating, and concentrated on his spell learning again.
After Bai Longniang left, Garen concentrated his mind and engraved the spell model in the world of consciousness.
The sixth-level spell of the Evocation School, blazing fireball.
The higher the level of the spell, the greater the difference in power between each level, and the greater the number of runes and magic circuits involved. Inscribing it naturally requires stronger mental power, more focused mind and awareness.
After this awakening, Garen's mental power has also improved greatly, which can fully support him to complete the sixth-level spell.
Even the ninth-level spells, Garen also felt that he was qualified to learn them.
But the problem is that normal spellcasters have mastered a large number of spells of a certain level, laid a solid foundation and gained a deeper understanding of the principles of spells before they start learning the spells of the next level.
However, there are not many sources of knowledge in Garleon. The content in Morton's notes is that the higher the level, the deeper the research on spells, but there is not much foundation.
The books obtained from the two-headed ogre in the past can no longer support Garen's current stage.
He wanted to go step by step, but conditions did not allow it.
Three days later, on a night with howling cold wind, flecks of snow, and bright moonlight, the spell model he could inscribe at once was less than a quarter of the way through.
The first time he came into contact with the sixth-level spell, the speed was very slow for him, which made him dissatisfied. However, in fact, for a normal spell caster, it was already a terrifying speed.
Any spell caster has read a large number of books in his life. The number of these dozen books that Garen has read may not even be matched by apprentices in the group of spell casters.
Due to insufficient basic knowledge support, learning the six-ring blazing fireball was much more difficult than Gallon imagined.
He had a hunch that if he continued to immerse himself in research, he would just get stuck somewhere and it would take a lot of time to learn.
"Oh, the progress is too slow."
"We still have too little knowledge of basic principles, otherwise the learning speed will be doubled."
"I need more basic spell books. Without the support of basic knowledge, high-level spells will be more difficult to learn."
Garen rubbed his head, opened his eyes, and looked to the south, looking toward the Dragon's Back Mountains that were vaguely like a shadow curtain.
"I need to go out and collect some spell books."
He originally wanted to learn all the spells in Morton's notes before leaving the arctic ice field.
But now it seems that if he just sticks to the arctic ice field and does not gain more knowledge, even if he barely learns the blazing fireball, it will be difficult for him to master higher-level spells in the end.
Further up from the blazing fireball is the seventh-level spell.
Seventh-level spells are already high-level spells, and their power will undoubtedly be higher than those of six-level spells. However, the difficulty of mastering them is self-evident, and they will also be many times more difficult than six-level spells.
After realizing this, Garen no longer fought against the blazing fireball.
He stretched his muscles and limbs, moved his body, and then slowly walked out of the dragon's nest and looked at the silent and solemn Arctic Icefield under the night.
Under this world of ice and snow, there is so much blood hidden.
At this moment, the moonlight was like water, reflecting on Garen's scales, adding a faint silver glow to his body.
Garen turned his head, looked in all directions, and soon focused on somewhere.
In the field of vision, a winter wolf was galloping at full speed, leaving no trace in the snow. Its body was like a white lightning, and its hair was rippling like waves in the howling cold wind.
Not long after, the galloping winter wolf stopped and looked up at the silver dragon.
This winter wolf is not the leader of the Wolf Heart Clan, Lang Evil, but one of the winter wolves, Lang Li, who first yearned for Garen's power and transferred under his dragon wings.
A newly adult male winter wolf.
"Master, there is no change on the frost giant side, it's still the same as usual."
After saying this, Lang Li hesitated for a moment and said: "But... a white dragon attacked them, but the other party was injured and fell down, and was caught."
"It's the white dragon that has been frequenting your territory during this period."
Hearing this, Garen was startled for a moment, then his face darkened and he asked, "How is the white dragon doing? Is he dead?"
He did not expect that Bai Longniang would be bold enough to attack the frost giant tribe alone.
Frost giants who live in groups are not characters that an underage white dragon can provoke.
It's okay to find opportunities to kill the opponent when you're alone, but going directly to the opponent's base camp... is almost like a moth flying into a flame.
What Garen didn't know was that after leaving the ice cliff territory, Bai Longniang had been thinking about Garen's disregard for her in the past few days, and she couldn't even sleep. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she finally suppressed her anger.
Once when she was out hunting and flying high in the sky, she passed by a tribe of frost giants.
Because of the pent-up anger and the hatred of frost giants that came from her soul, Bai Longniang was so evil that she flew to low altitude to wash the ground with her dragon's breath and attacked several frost giants to vent her emotions.
Her idea was to spit out dragon breath and run away, disgusting the frost giants, and then fly to a high altitude to look down and watch them jump for fun.
But the frost giants are not easy to deal with.
As the old enemies of the White Dragon, they will not let the White Dragon Girl escape.
A white dragon didn't even have any family members. It dared to attack the tribe alone, which made them unprepared. Several young frost giants who were hit by the frost dragon's breath were slightly injured. However, after they came to their senses, all the frost giants gathered together.
Qi fought back and shot down the fleeing Bai Longniang from low altitude, without giving her a chance to escape to high altitude.
For Garen, although he had beaten the White Dragon Lady and robbed her of her things and territory, he could not sit back and watch the White Dragon Lady being killed by other creatures.
Noticing Garen's dangerous gaze, Lang Li trembled and said quickly: "No, the frost giants captured the white dragon and locked it in a cage."
Rather than killing the white dragon directly, the frost giant prefers to capture the living white dragon and display it everywhere as his trophy.
One of their greatest wishes is to tame the white dragon.
Frost giants who can tame white dragons will be envied and admired by all their fellow tribesmen, and their status in the tribe will also be greatly improved.
Although Bai Longniang was caught, her life will not be in danger in the short term.
Garen breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "When did this happen?"
Lang Li did not hesitate and replied: "Half an hour ago, we have been observing the frost giant tribe, and we came to inform you immediately after discovering it."
Winter wolves are highly intelligent magical creatures. Although they don't know the specific relationship between Bai Longniang and Garen, they know that they must inform Garen as soon as possible when they see Bai Longniang running here every two days and delivering things.
Garen looked solemnly and said, "The Langxin clan did a good job this time."
Lang Li's face was slightly happy, he lowered his head and said: "It is the honor of the Langxin clan to serve you."
Immediately afterwards, Garen set up a large number of magic alarms in the dragon's nest, and then summoned two white dragon guards, the Dire Frost Tiger and the Dire Wolf, and quickly ran towards the direction of the Frost Giant tribe.
Ordinary followers, ogres, kobolds, and arctic ice spirits followed closely behind.
