"... cough... Cough..."
As the eye shaped engraving behind the stone chair suddenly flashed a flash of ice blue brilliance, several sudden coughs rang from the front of the stone chair, breaking the silence of the huge palace.
Although the sudden sound was slight, it was real, which immediately shocked little grace.
"Who... Who? Who's there?"
He could not help questioning in a slightly trembling tone during a period of panic. While pursuing the answer to the question, perhaps it is more a subconscious act of emboldening oneself.
However, the other party did not respond to his trembling questions, but coughed several times.
The coughing sound accompanied by wheezing sounds a little old, and more or less with a little weakness. It's like some kind of groan before death, which makes people's scalp numb.
Although the sound clearly came from the front of the stone seat, even listening to the distance, it is very likely to sit on the stone seat. But Ernst could only force himself to hold his breath and concentrate. He didn't even dare to move for fear that the other party would find himself.
But just as he stood there for a moment, the voice suddenly stopped coughing.
"Since you inspired the mark I left, it means that my blood is flowing in your body. Child, maybe you don't have the patience to listen to the old man, but for the sake of the blood connection between you and me, please listen to me and finish this story slowly..."
The voice of the vicissitudes of life was slowly telling in front, in a language that little grace had never heard of. But even if he couldn't understand a word, the continuous words still echoed in his ears, pouring the meaning between the sentences into his mind without hesitation.
To be honest, this feeling is quite strange. But the story told by the voice had a special charm, which made little grace quickly ignore the awkward feeling and listen carefully
The story began with a young man's trip.
One day, after the young man spent the Adulthood Ceremony with many people in the tribe, he embarked on a long journey alone according to the rules of the tribe.
According to the origin and status of each ethnic group, their adult journey varies in distance. The more children who bear the honor of their parents, the longer and steep their adult journey, which is a great obligation and responsibility entrusted to them by their natural rights.
The young man's goal was set by his father, that is, the patriarch, in the extreme north, which needs to cross a large ocean.
The young man has a lot of brothers and sisters, and not only has none of his brothers who first traveled to adulthood returned, but the oldest one has left the tribe for nearly ten years. It can be seen that this clan rule represents not only the ultimate glory after the return, but also the ultimate danger of dying in another country.
Fortunately, this young man has been placed high hopes since he was sensible. He is a descendant of a tribe with amazing talent. With his extraordinary wisdom and amazing talent, he mastered the lightning rule rune that only tribal ancestors could use a few years ago.
In the view of the clan, he is the future and hope of the whole tribe and the only person to inherit the position of patriarch.
However, the young man never wanted to gain any prestige. What he yearned for was to fight all the lives in the world, to explore all the mysteries in the world, to break through the boundary between life and death like his ancestors, to abandon his flesh and embark on another new journey.
"In that case, let's start from the deep cold in the far north!"
In fact, the power he possessed in his youth was indeed rare in the world at that time. Before crossing the ocean, he met many strange creatures and human beings like himself, but he never lost once when he needed to fight.
But when he finally flew over the endless ocean and reached a huge Island, he finally found a group of terrible enemies - Frost giants.
In the glacier land covered with snowstorms all year round, he had a long battle with those huge giants. The energy of those giants seems endless, and their belligerent and bloodthirsty character is more like soldiers born for killing. Even if they can't defeat the young people, they rise up in groups without scruples, which makes the young people with superior talent tired of coping.
Finally, he could not bear the dual fatigue of spirit and physical fitness and chose to retreat.
The young people who had evacuated the land flew over the sea and landed on an island for rest and treatment of their injuries all over their body. After that, it was a long time before he completely recovered.
The young man who returned to the top did not immediately go back and challenge the giants, because his wisdom told himself that even if he went again, the result would be the same. Therefore, he devoted himself to practicing magic on that island and didn't set out again until a few years later.
This battle was more intense and lasted longer than the first one. Having further mastered the power of rules, he fought all the way and gradually broke into a huge cave in the center of the giant tribe.
Blocked by a large number of giants in the cave, his pace of progress could not help slowing down a lot. But the power of rules was amazing. The ordinary giant had no hope of defeating him at all. He finally stopped until he stepped into the deepest palace.
This was not because he wanted to stop, but because two big men nearly twice as big as the other giants stopped him steadily.
Even the terrible destructive power of the regular light column condensed by the lightning rules can only make the two giants suffer a little injury and paralyze for a while. But he has only one person, but the other has two!
When he found that there was a king of giants with more momentum on the throne deep in the palace after intense fighting, the young man finally gave birth to the heart of retreat again.
But just then, the king of the giants spoke.
"Human beings, you have great strength and the same excellent fighting instinct. If you are willing to submit to me, I will give you the identity of a new king... And the qualification to challenge my giant king Buli."
The voice of the king of giants rumbled like a roar of collapse in the young man's ears, and even the ground shook constantly. What is more shocking to the young man is that there seems to be a wonderful force of rules hidden in the giant, which is more mysterious than his lightning rules. He can't even understand a bit of them.
At this moment, the young man suddenly realized that the king of giants and everything he saw along the way, including himself, were very different. His ambition of "exploring all the mysteries of the world" is simply an arrogance derived from ignorance.
But this almost desperate understanding did not stop him who was born eager to explore.
"I know that I am definitely not your opponent now," he said. "But if one day I defeat you, everything you have will belong to me!"
Not surprisingly, even if the giant king promised the young people, the giant palace, which originally had only three thrones, added a small and brand-new throne on this day.
Since that day, the young people's fighting has not stopped. The desire of the giants to fight is unparalleled in the world. Life and death will not hinder the steps of the giants to fight. In addition to the eternal king of giants, Bligh, there are battles on this huge island all the time. Blood and death dye ice and snow red again and again.
More than ten years later, the young man is approaching middle age. The two giants who once fought with him are no longer his opponents, but the battle between him and the giant king has never happened. Because the more obvious the growth of strength, the more he can realize that the gap between the two is like a gap, which can not be easily crossed by him at present.
He thought he would spend his whole life in this giant country full of battle and blood.
But on one day, a human with signs all over his skin boarded this cold land in the far north as he did in those days, and did something very similar to what he did in those days - fighting.
But contrary to him, the man's fighting style is very brutal. He is not so much a human as a reduced version of the giant warrior.
After three years and dozens of attempts, the man finally broke through the scuffle with the giants in a pure hand to hand fight and went deep into the palace where he was located. It can be predicted that this man was also stopped by the two giants.
The same action, the same development, and the almost constant words of the giant king left the man here. The only difference, I'm afraid, is the order of challenges - before the battle of giant king bli, the man needs to challenge not only the two giants, but also the fellow human who is now nearly middle-aged.
However, the so-called impermanence of the world, these two human wizards, after all, did not wait for the opportunity to challenge the giant Wang Buli. When they were getting older and their strength was about to reach the level of giant Wang Buli, an incredible massacre happened!
Not to mention the death and injury of the giant family, it seems that the giant Wang Buli, who has been out of reach all their lives, has also fallen in a roar, but the root cause of all this is only the sword of the unknown person.
When they were seriously injured and collapsed to the ground, the murderer with red eyes suddenly faded the blood in his eyes and calmly looked at them.
"All this has nothing to do with you. I'm just here to avenge the giant family." the man slowly said, "strange is strange. You moved your hand on me first."
