Monarch of Evernight: The Sorrow of Thirteen Frosts and Thunder

bsp;Akfir looked at each other in groups. He seemed to be lost in his own thoughts and did not explain any more. With each passing generation, the number of statues decreases significantly. There is a very important reason for the decrease in heroes, and that is the decline in the number of ethnic groups.

In the last few groups, there was only one statue left.

Akfir walked slowly in front of these ice sculptures, and finally came to a piece of black ice that had not yet been carved and stood there, saying: "This is my place."

Qianye raised his eyebrows slightly, waiting for his next words.

Akfir said slowly: "It wasn't until the seventh generation of ancestors, the Frost and Thunder Temple, was built that they initially had the ability to control the destructive power on this continent. However, by this time, it was already too late. The clan members The number is not enough to support the reproduction of the race, and the number is still slowly declining. The only way to survive is to absorb new blood from foreign races. However, in a sense, our race is equivalent to death.

Qianye's heart moved slightly. Blood dilution is a problem that almost all immortal races will encounter. For example, the vampire gradually falls into a long river of blood, and another example is the bloodline of the prophet who is close to the death of the demon. The power inheritance of most races is closely related to blood, and lack of power means the decline or even extinction of the entire race.

Oddly enough, the constraints of the human race by blood are not so obvious. The military expedition created by Wuzu broke through this restriction. Although the price is high, in this war-torn world, the immediate survival is far away. More important than long-term planning.

Akfir's voice pulled Qianye out of his contemplation. He pointed at the individual statues and said: "From the eighth generation/onwards, those who can erect statues are no longer heroes, but The owner of the Frost and Thunder Temple is the person who inherited the power of Frost and Thunder."

Qianye also understood why he just said that was his position. After Akfir dies, the new generation of temple masters will build a statue of him.

"Where is Carol? What is her position?"

"You mean sister? That's fine, I was about to say this. Come with me."

Akfir took Qianye out of the underground palace and headed deeper underground. This time the passage was so deep that it seemed to have no end. After walking down for at least several hundred meters, a gate appeared in front of them.

Akfir opened the door and saw another world before his eyes.

This is a naturally formed cave, gradually going downwards, with a bottomless pit in the center. Standing on the edge of the pit, you can see a faint blue light flashing in the depths, and jumping electric fires appear on the pit walls from time to time.

Even just standing at the entrance of the pit, Qianye's hair floated slightly, and he could clearly feel the terrifying energy at the bottom of the pit.

"This is the origin of the Frost and Thunder Temple. The entire temple is a facility to suppress and filter the power of frost and the violent thunder of the void. Otherwise, every ten years, there will be a cold wave on the land mass, and the violent thunder of the void will occur. Thunder will also spread across the ground, turning the entire landmass into a world of death."

"When the Frost and Thunder Temple is built, these two powers will become available. Of course, refining them requires extremely high talents. However, our family has never lacked geniuses, and every generation has the ability to control frost and cold. The person with the power becomes the master of the temple. Sister...she was the first person in our generation to be able to control the power of frost, but she chose Void Thunder."

"Only those who control the power of frost can be the master of the temple?" Qianye asked.

Akfir nodded, "That's right. Only by mastering the power of frost can we mobilize the operation of the entire temple, suppress natural disasters, and protect our people."

Qianye somewhat understood, "In other words, the Lord of the temple cannot leave, right?"

"You can leave for a short time. Counting the round trip, you can probably stay in other continents for half a day." Akfir smiled bitterly.

Qianye suddenly sympathized with him. Akfir is also a genius, but he is bound to this deep and cold temple at a young age. What fun is there in such a life? No wonder when Carol chose Kuang Lei, he said he didn't hate her.

"My sister can walk freely outside, but I need to protect the people. Once the temple stops functioning, the people living here will die in a short time. I have only left here twice, both to let the outside world People know that I exist in the Frost and Thunder Temple, not just my sister. Only in this way will the dirty fools outside be restrained and not have any inappropriate ideas about my sister."

Having said this, Akfir turned around, looked at Qianye, and said, "Are you interested in inheriting the power of Frost and Cold and becoming the next master of the temple?"

Qianye was so surprised that he didn’t even bother to think about whether the proposal was reasonable. He asked instead: "Can I?"

"Of course you can. With my help, this will never be a problem. With the power of frost, you can directly reach... according to you humans, the high-ranking **** general."

For many people, a power so powerful that it may take them a lifetime to pursue it is an irresistible temptation.

Qianye shook his head, "Not interested."

Akfir looked at Qianye for a while, shook his head after a while, and sighed: "Originally, you were the best candidate for our clan to absorb new blood... But it is right for you to refuse. With the dawn of dawn, People like you should despise the power of frost here. In that case, I will give this gift to you."

He flicked his fingers, and a clear sound like the sound of a phoenix sounded from his fingertips. Hearing this voice, Qianye felt that a deep freezing point in his body suddenly exploded, and the extreme cold current surged to all parts of his body instantly!

This is the power of the ice leaf soup. Even though it took Qianye so long to drink it, most of it could not be digested temporarily. It was stored in his body, waiting for him to slowly use the ancient scrolls of the Song Dynasty when he was free. Refining.

Unexpectedly, Akfir not only saw it, but also activated it all with a snap of his fingers!

Qianye didn't even have time to resist. The cold current instantly froze him to death. However, miraculously, after the extreme cold, it suddenly turned into a gentle warm current, integrating with Qianye's body that was stimulated to the limit. Thousands of warm currents are like migrating birds, rushing towards the eighth force node. The force of this node was already extremely strong, and when it was merged by the warm current, the massive force had nowhere to go. It suddenly collapsed, condensed into liquid, and turned into a whirlpool.

Qianye's aura gradually improved uncontrollably, becoming more and more lofty. At this point, he was only one step away from the Divine General's Heaven Pass.

It took a long while before Qianye could make a sound and said doubtfully: "This..."

"I'll save you some time and increase my combat power. I don't want the person my sister will follow in the future to die like this."

Akfir walked towards the door. Qianye was a little confused, but he had no choice but to follow.

This time, Akfir returned to the living area and sat down in the living room. After Qianye also sat down, the waiter brought a cup of tea that was as clear as water, with a green leaf at the bottom of the cup.

Qianye was a little confused by the fuss. He held the tea and looked at it for a while, but there was no entrance. If this tea is the same as the ice leaf soup, it will be too much to drink if you take a big sip.

Akfir smiled and said: "Don't worry, this is just ordinary tea. I don't have a few ice leaves myself, so I can't bear to take too many to entertain you. Unless..." He suddenly stopped talking and lowered his head. His eyebrows seemed to soften a bit.

Qianye took a sip of tea and suddenly felt a line of ice entering his stomach. After shivering, he felt instantly refreshed.

"Tell me why you are here." It was not until now that the conversation between the two got to the point.

"I promised Carol that I would fight for a territory for her. Now there is an opportunity. I need her help. Accordingly, after the victory of the war, her wish for the territory has been realized."

"Territory..." Akfir twitched his eyebrows, seeming to be quite concerned about this word, "Where is it and how big is it?"

"Strictly speaking, it can only be said to be a permission to occupy territory. After this battle, we will get a lot of military glory in the Qin Empire. Based on this, future expansion and conquest on the periphery of the empire's territory will be tacitly allowed , and may even receive support from the empire. Of course, this is the official explanation for such permission. There is nothing to expect from Da Qin, as long as it does not interfere."

Akfir meditated silently, obviously having some thoughts.

Eternal Night World has twenty-seven main continents, of which twenty-three have been discovered. It seems vast, but in fact there are very few completely blank areas that have not been discovered. On the continents closest to the asteroid belt at the top of the world, even the Parliament of Eternal Night, which has existed for more than ten thousand years, has been unable to visit. The upper continent is the traditional territory of various dark races. Many land masses are extremely special and are not suitable for the survival of people outside a specific race.

The environment of the middle continent is the most universal, but most of the fertile territory and rich resources have been occupied by the Eternal Night Parliament and the Great Qin Empire. There are small countries, and neutral forces are not uncommon, but behind them there are intricate tentacles extending to one or both parties. True independence is absolutely impossible.

The rise and expansion of the Qin Dynasty are unique miracles in this world. Looking at the founding years of the small countries geographically close to the empire, they were all the most turbulent periods in the history of the Qin Dynasty. It can be seen that there is no difference in the control methods of some things regardless of the eternal night camp or the dawn camp.

Akfir knows that it is difficult to open a border and even harder to defend territory. If it can be recognized by the empire, it is also a feasible way. Even if they don't expect support, it can at least reduce the hostility of a behemoth.

Qianye was also looking at Akfir, feeling a little strange in his heart. Sometimes he seemed to care about his sister very much, but now, a territory seemed to far surpass Carol's status in his mind.

Akfir suddenly woke up and realized that Qianye was still there. He smiled bitterly and said: "As you can see, this land is not suitable for survival at all. If it continues, there will be fewer and fewer tribesmen, because they will not be able to survive even if they are weak. But if you can have a territory, you can Let the tribesmen who are not strong enough survive. In that case, our tribe will no longer have to face the fate of extinction."

Qianye was a little puzzled, "Isn't there still a large area of ​​open space in the neutral ground? With the strength of the Frost and Thunder Temple, how can it capture a large area of ​​territory?"

Akfir shook his head, "The environment in the Neutral Land is not suitable for our race to survive. In comparison, this is the place where we can best adapt."

An idea flashed in Qianye's mind, and he stood up and said: "You are demons!"
