Chapter 128 -127: Sea of Flowers in Four Seasons

In the year 5581 of the Dragon Calendar, August 13th, the Knight Regiment of Glowing Valley set out once more, heading towards the snowfields where the wind and snow howled incessantly.

With his previous experience, Russell had already adapted to combat on the snow plains.

Nevertheless, he was still assigned to the support squad, responsible for picking up the slack during the Regiment’s battles, which was Mr. Roman Baron’s way of protecting him.

After all,

Russell was only sixteen years old this year, having just celebrated his coming-of-age ceremony; having him face the icy blades of the Snow Ghosts was truly somewhat cruel.

Other young people might have felt stifled or ashamed and then, with all their might, would try to prove that they were capable, recklessly charging at the Snow Ghosts.

But Russell wouldn’t.

He humbly and joyfully accepted the care of cleaning up stragglers, fighting the small groups of Snow Ghosts overlooked by the Knight Regiment with great delight.

Occasionally, Eric and others would even let a Snow Ghost slip through, for him to take on in a one-on-one fight.

The tiny mark of a Sword Butterfly burned in the palm of his hand; every move Russell executed while fighting fed it, silently accumulating power for it. When the power reached its limit, perhaps it would evolve and change like the mushroom worm.

As for what it would evolve into, that was currently unknown.

“Done!”

After performing a set of “Radiant Swordsmanship Technique,” the Snow Ghost in front of him was sliced into dozens of pieces of flesh, wriggling non-stop on the ground.

Russell didn’t need to make another move; Knight Attendant Jack squatted down and crushed the head of the Snow Ghost before extracting the Ice Pellet Pearl from within.

The Ice Pellet Pearls from regular Snow Ghosts were all pretty much the same.

No matter whether in life they were Armed Knights or ordinary people, as long as they had cultivated strength, it would be transformed into the power of ice pellets. Then, amidst the blizzards, Snow Ghosts would continuously draw strength from the snow, increasing their own Ice Pellet Power.

Over time, the strength of the Snow Ghosts would converge, so the Ice Pellet Pearls they formed were nearly identical.

Only those who had recently died and had been re-killed after becoming zombies would form poor-quality Ice Pellet Pearls.

“The sixth Ice Pellet Pearl, Sir,” Jack said with a cheerful smile.

It was only the first day of the march, and they had already collected six Snow Ghost heads, which was certainly a good omen. Since the warm season this year was particularly fierce and Snow Ghosts had retreated too quickly, everyone had not held much hope for the gains from this expedition.

“Indeed, not bad, I hope more Snow Ghosts come our way,” Russell smiled, wiping the sweat from his forehead that had already been cooled by the wind and snow.

He looked towards the distant white horizon, anticipating the harvest of the next few days.

This excursion was for the sake of finding food for the Little Dream Dragon.

To make up for the consumption from the Little Dream Dragon’s continuous breathing of Dragonflame.

Compared to Elves, Fantasy Beasts, and other magical creatures, Russell definitely cared more for the Little Dream Dragon because it was a young Great Dragon. Only when the Little Dream Dragon grew up could he follow it and reach the pinnacle of his life.

The future was destined to be bright and dazzling, but for now, he had to struggle to survive.

He had to rely on the Little Dream Dragon to hoard Elves and Fantasy Beasts, increasing his own strength to better gather Ice Pellet Pearls and even Ice Soul Pearls, to provide nutrients for the growth of the Little Dream Dragon.

“Willing, definitely willing… to have, one must give,” Russell muttered as he sheathed his Green Ceramic Sword and mounted his horse again.

The small squad quickly moved on, chasing after the main force of the Knight Regiment.

Along the way, Eric did not forget his role as a knight’s instructor, discussing the practical techniques of “Radiant Swordsmanship” with Russell.

“Should I start learning additional swordsmanship techniques?”

“Sir, my advice is not yet,” Eric had a different opinion, “Your ‘Radiant Swordsmanship’ is already excellent. Until you are promoted to Great Knight and your Battle Qi can be externalized, mastering it is sufficient.”

“Radiant Swordsmanship” originated from the Holy Glint Empire, which was the first kingdom established by humans after they began to ride dragons.

Although it had a short existence, its influence on later generations was wide and profound.

The system of nobility was a creation of the Holy Glint Empire, and similarly, “Radiant Swordsmanship” was also passed down from it.

But over the span of more than five thousand years, the “Radiant Swordsmanship Technique” had become almost unrecognizable, refined and optimized countless times to become the best foundational battle Qi martial skill for knight training. Every knight had practiced the “Radiant Swordsmanship Technique.”

“Indeed,” Russell nodded in agreement, “the higher-level battle Qi martial skills nowadays mostly require the external release of battle Qi, and I certainly should continue to study the ‘Radiant Swordsmanship Technique.’

His mastery of the “Radiant Swordsmanship Technique” originated from the Sword Butterfly Amber Bug.

However, he vaguely felt that the mastery provided by the Sword Butterfly was not the ultimate comprehension of the “Radiant Swordsmanship Technique.” It was more akin to “great achievement” rather than “perfection,” and attaining “perfection” would still depend on his own understanding.

The Sword Butterfly was just an ancient and magical butterfly, buried deep underground for countless years, drawing power from the earth’s forces, rather than comprehending it on its own.

Naturally, it could not grasp the ultimate secret technique of swordsmanship.

After all,

Swordsmanship is inanimate, but people are not.

…

At camp, as night fell, Russell rode the Little Dream Dragon, again wandering aimlessly across the snowfield, hoping to find the Snow Ghost’s magic light.

Unfortunately, their search was fruitless, and they encountered no Snow Ghosts.

Left with no choice, Russell could only feed the Little Dream Dragon a few Ice Pellet Pearls he had harvested during the day, considering it a partial repayment of interest.

“Ga!” As they parted, the Little Dream Dragon warned Russell not to forget to pay back the rest of the debt, both principal and interest.

“Take it easy, take it easy!”

Waking up early the next morning and recalling what had happened in the Gloomy Dreamland, Russell couldn’t help but chuckle to himself, “This Ice Cream is becoming harder and harder to fool… It seems that eating more Ice Pellet Pearls really does help its growth, significantly improving its intelligence!”

In the following two days, he and the Little Dream Dragon failed to locate any Snow Ghosts, so they could only feed the Little Dream Dragon the few Ice Pellet Pearls they had gathered during the day.

So it went on and on.

In the previous few days on the snowfield, Russell had come up empty-handed.

Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.

Considering the supplies prepared and the Ice Pellet Pearls needed to reward his subordinates, if they didn’t achieve something in the days to come, they would suffer a significant loss.

“I need to come across a great Snow Ghost, no, a horse-riding green-skinned one… No, no, no, a blue-skinned one directly. Let the Little Dream Dragon eat its fill in one go! That way, I won’t need to worry about the few Ice Pellet Pearls that I can only gather through hard work during the day.”

With such hopes, Russell followed the Knight Regiment to one of the most important Cold Spring Points on the Mountain River Trade Route.

Four Seasons Flower Sea.

Like a white dragon, the ice wall slowly plunged into the never-melting ice cap, then entered the Four Seasons Flower Sea Cold Spring Spot, an ice cavity larger than any other Cold Spring Point. Afterward, its body reemerged slowly from the other side of the ice cavity.

It continued to slither and meander forward across the boundless snowfield.

“Chiu chiu!”

Mr. Ross soared in the sky.

It looked down at the Four Seasons Flower Sea Cold Spring Spot into which the Knight Regiment was pouring, as if seeing a colorful eye sprout on the white ice cap.

The colors in the eye were the flowers that covered the entire Cold Spring Point.

“It’s hard to imagine that in the midst of the snowfield, there is such a place, filled with blooming flowers,” Russell dismounted, handed the reins to his Knight Attendant, and curiously examined the entire Four Seasons Flower Sea Cold Spring Spot.

A typical Cold Spring Point is a melted cavity under the ice cap. Although the residual heat from the earth’s veins warms the cavity, the temperature hovers around zero degrees.

And only the sun well above allows light to filter in, resulting in a rather dim Cold Spring Point.

But this particular Four Seasons Flower Sea Cold Spring Spot had most of its ice cap melted. Sunlight boldly pierced through the wind and snow, shining into the spot, allowing the temperature to remain around ten degrees or so, and the flowers to grow unabated.

There were even bees and other small insects buzzing through the blossoms.

“Lord Baron has given an order, forbidding anyone to tread on a single flower or blade of grass, and forbids the killing of bugs as well… Enter the camping area in an orderly manner, do not wander aimlessly among the flower beds… Lord Baron has given an order, forbidding anyone…”

The messenger knight ran through the entire Four Seasons Flower Sea Cold Spring Spot, loudly repeating the orders of Baron Roman.
