Chapter 495 Daydreamer

Baras looked at the strange man floating in front of him.

 It is square in shape like a large fruit core, with two eyes on the fruit shell, two beards, and a special black wide-brimmed hat on its head.

 This is the president of the Shacheng Mutual Aid Foundation, Prince Waldie.

 “It’s a pleasure to have you on board, Mr. Barras.”

Prince Walnut’s voice is buzzing and has a kind of ups and downs affinity.

“I know you have a lot of doubts, but let me start from the beginning.”

The president of the foundation said: "I come from the Kingdom of Kamite, which used to be a rich and vast world. Later, it was invaded by a group of monkeys, and I was exiled to Shacheng in the form of a ghost. With the kindness of Lord Yao, I got the Yao clan Care and acceptance from friends.”

"For me, the idea of ​​restoring my country has never disappeared. I formed a restoration army and traveled around in order to one day revive the Kingdom of Kamite..."

It paused, with a smile on its face: "I know this sounds ridiculous. Whether the Kingdom of Kamite was built, where that world is, and whether the Yunzhong Temple will intersect with it in the future are all unknown. The void outside is so vast and boundless. For two specific worlds to come into contact is nothing more than a distant delusion."

“However, I don’t think it is completely impossible. If a great **** with a great title can be born in the Restoration Army, or even a noble and powerful main god, then maybe we can locate the Kingdom of Kamite.”

Originally, Barras still maintained a serious expression.

 But after hearing this, he still didn't hold back, and suddenly opened his mouth and laughed.

 Soon it stopped smiling.

“Hahaha, this is the first time many people hear my words.”

Wardier didn't care, and his eyes on his nut face were also smiley: "It does sound like a daydream, but if it can be realized, wouldn't it be great?"

Baras thinks.

Compared to the restoration of the country, Wadiye’s plan to give birth to gods from the restoration army is even more outrageous.

Even though Balas has been sleeping in the closed Kingdom of Mist for a long time and has not long entered maturity, it still knows what the title of **** and main **** means.

 It is more realistic to dream.

“After years of exploration, I realized that restoring a country cannot be rushed. To a certain extent, restoring a country means building a country, and building a country requires a lot of patience and foundation.”

Wadiye still grinned, and his beard also tilted to both sides: "Some people in this world aim at distant stars, and some people just want to find a job. Many people try their best to prepare, but lack the Last minute resources and support.”

“So I established the [Shacheng Mutual Aid Foundation].”

"The original intention of the foundation is to find suitable supporters for everyone. As long as you are prepared, have ideas, feasible plans, and the courage to implement them, you may find partners, and even small people can make big contributions. "

Wardier continued: "Mr. Barras, you grew up in the Kingdom of Mist. During this time, you should also have some understanding of the deserts and sand cities outside. What do you think the sand city lacks most?"

Baras thought for a while: "It should be water."

"right."

“But I can’t conjure water, and what I’m good at is not the water element.”

"I know."

Prince Walnut said softly: "This is due to the rules of the world of Yunzhong Temple. The rules related to the water element are too damaged, so there is always a lack of water here."

"But I will say that the effect of ice is more immediate than that of water."

Barras agreed: "It is indeed very hot here. It would be much cooler if there was ice."

 “You are right, but the ice I am talking about is in a more detailed and specialized field.”

Wadiye put away his smile: "Ice is widely used, such as storing fresh meat and fruits. In cold areas, food does not perish easily. If there is ice, people in Shacheng can taste fresh meat, eggs, Milk and fish instead of just jerky, wheat cakes, jam and pickles.”

“In addition, in the medical field, ice can relieve pain, stop bleeding, and relieve itching. Especially for some trauma-infected patients, ice can prevent the spread of infection.”

"Of course, as you said, the climate here is hot. If the ice element can be allowed to stay, then everyone will live more comfortably. It is not easy for people in Shacheng to eat some iced grapes."

Balas seemed to understand: "You mean, you want me to condense the ice elements? Unfortunately, this is impossible. The ice element is the source and the inexhaustible spring. Even if I can convert some elements into ice elements, but This cannot be sustained for long, and the ice element will escape as soon as it comes into contact with the high temperatures outside. It's useless."

　　After Prince Walnut inquired in detail, he couldn't help but look disappointed.

It originally thought that Baras was the first person to possess the [Secret of Ice Element] and be able to transform other elements into ice elements. If you use the frost giant's ability, you may be able to make the ice stay in the sand city.

 “Anyway, you’re welcome to join us.”

 …

 In this way, Barras came to the foundation.

 President Wadiye and Vice President Sharo are very busy.

Wardier is committed to promoting the foundation everywhere and raising funds and assistance from businessmen and extraordinary people. Sharo collects all kinds of potential or capable talents and invites them to join the foundation.

Celebrities such as Xianjiao, Fu Jianbei, and Sha Wang only have names in the foundation and rarely participate in actual activities. This is also thanks to Wadiye’s tireless work.

Gradually, Barras also learned about everyone’s views on Wadiye.

"At first, everyone thought it was a liar. Wadiye founded the foundation after forming the Nationalist Army. If it is a liar, then if it can continue to deceive itself and everyone for more than a hundred years, it will be no different from the real thing... I kept running around without stopping or enjoying it, as if I was living in a daydream.”

"Children like him, and disadvantaged ethnic groups will go to Wadiye when they need help. There was a time when the salary gap between the shells and the locals in Shacheng was huge, and the shells didn't know how to resist. , who had been silently enduring, Wadiye stood up to speak for them and formally submitted a joint protest."

“After Mayor Slimaud learned about this matter, the parliament quickly introduced relevant supplementary regulations to ensure equal pay for equal work for workers.”

“If outsiders are bullied and the city hall has not answered or dealt with it, they will go to Wadiye for help. After Wadiye finds out, he will also be willing to help everyone.”

 “He’s a respected eccentric, an impressive guy.”

“I don’t want to be like him, but I think it’s really great to have Wadiye in Shacheng. There is no such person in other cities.”

 …

It is difficult to evaluate Wadiye.

It is very smart and sociable, and has long-term enthusiasm and fighting spirit. It can always find sponsors and helpers, such as Ms. Mina, a well-known rich man in Shacheng, Mina, a famous medical celebrity, and the famous swordsman Ling Jianbei... These people will eventually end up with It became a friend.

 But Wadiye is not so smart and rational. It always does some thankless things, provides generous sponsorship, speaks for outsiders and those in distress, and even openly criticizes various problems in the construction and legal system of Sand City.

 Many people join the foundation just to get funding, and they will leave quickly after receiving the benefits. Many people have not made any feedback or contribution to the foundation. Wadier didn't care.

The Frost Giant felt that Balas must be planning something secretly. It worked at the foundation for 2 years, mainly responsible for guarding the warehouse, and finally figured it out.

 Behind the Shacheng Mutual Aid Foundation, apart from the individual funders, there are also regular capital injections from two large organizations, [White Castle] and [Puji Theological College Medicine].

 Both organizations have established long-term strategic partnerships with foundations.

 While busy at work, Barras occasionally met the Nibelungen people on the street. At first the children ran away when they saw it, then they quickly walked past with their heads down, and finally they could smile like normal residents.

Baras still has the urge to eat the Nibelungs.

 But these are already controllable.

 Hurting others is punishable by jail time. This is the law of Shacheng.

After learning a lot of knowledge, Barras gradually realized that the so-called Nibelungs were nothing more than a collection of elements condensed and arranged in an orderly manner.

If you add an appropriate amount of fire element, ice element, water element, blood element, copper element and many other elements to a piece of mutton chop, and then sprinkle some ice spring toxin, which is a specialty of the Mist Country, it will taste different from Nibelungen. Not big.

　　Unlocking the secret of food gave Barras a strong sense of accomplishment.

 I am completely different.

 It is no longer a chaotic life controlled by appetite, but a wise giant with the ability of self-pursuit and identification.

 In Yaocheng, adults always protected children, and older children also protected younger children.

 We don’t need to eat each other to grow and become stronger.

Baras’s curiosity about his own origins evolved into an extreme thirst for knowledge.

Because of his outstanding talent in the ice element, he was able to apply for further studies in the seminary. After studying in the pharmacy school for 4 years, he graduated with honors and became a practicing doctor.

 Following that, Barras went to the Engineering College in Yancheng for three years, majoring in mathematics, taking engineering, cartography and geology as electives, and got the position of engineer.

 The more it learns, the more insignificant it feels.

The world is so vast, and each world has different natural rules, as well as different lives and extraordinary powers. Different ethnic groups have evolved completely different civilization systems. The Yao tribe absorbed and integrated a large number of other ethnic groups, and then gradually developed from a primitive tribe to a huge scale that spans many worlds.

 But in the world of Yunzhong Temple, there is currently only one Frost Giant: himself.

 Evidence does not stand alone.

 All clues and mysteries of origin are hidden under the misty glaciers of the Land of Secret Mists.

Barras decided to return to his hometown.

 At the farewell party before leaving, it gave Wadiye a gift.

“What kind of device is this? A steady stream of ice elements? How is this done?”

Prince Walnut opened his eyes wide when he saw the stove in front of him.

The funeral doctor next to him suppressed his smile, and his expression was extremely solemn: "The external structure is somewhat like a large steam furnace... but the element fluctuations inside are different. This is the ice element condensed by the omnipotent stone, and the operation is very stable. Consume the Almighty Stone to maintain the condensation of the ice element."

The silent Negative Jianbei also spoke up: "There was something similar in Qianyuan Mountain, but it required a lot of water, and it was easy for the elements to be confused, causing interruptions and turning into mist. The element casting furnace has always been difficult to separate pure single elements. "

Ms. Mina said with a smile: "Although I don't know the specific principle, I can see that this new stove is absolutely priceless."

The funeral director asked: "Baras, please tell me how long this stove can last?"

Baras said: "As long as there are enough almighty stones, the outer shell is not cracked, and the crystalline inner liner is not damaged, this ice and steam stove can be maintained forever."

　　　…”

Mingjiao was stunned for a moment, and his fingers kept shaking: "Keep it going...this, this will completely change the current situation of medicine, great, great!"

He rubbed his hands happily, walking around the stove and couldn't get enough of it: "You are a genius, Barras! You are the most talented giant in history! You are such a quiet guy, and you have done something earth-shattering. !”

Baras was very calm at this time.

Over the years, it has become clear that Shacheng lacks this.

However, it took nearly ten years to research the ice-steam furnace.

The fire steam stove uses the Almighty Stone to improve the combustion efficiency of charcoal and coal, thereby maintaining the stability and concentration of the fire element.

 Ice and steam stoves are much more complicated.

First, you need to use omnipotent stone to build a crystal structure liner, and use saltpeter and water to complete the first freezing. Subsequently, the ice elements will continue to dissipate, and the special structure of the crystal structure will continuously capture and gather wind elements and water elements, and convert them into ice. element.

 The continuous operation of a series of links will ensure that the ice-steam furnace can create a stable cold environment.

"The most difficult part of this device is the crystalline liner. I cut off part of my own body and did a lot of imitation and trial and error...I finally made this relatively stable form, which is just usable, but the elements are different. How to make the switch in subtle ways, I can’t understand myself.”

 “No need to understand! Understanding is always continuous and constantly corrected!”

The hand of the funeral director kept rubbing the calf-shaped ice and steam stove: "I discovered that boiling water can reduce illness, and I have summarized it. I still don't understand all the principles. As long as you can use it, you can follow this path. Walk!"

Prince Walnut realized it later, with a happy look on his face: "Baras, you actually solved this problem! I knew you had incredible talent!"

 At everyone's repeated requests, Barras stayed for another half a year.

  Within half a year, the ice-steam stove was officially launched after several improvements, and quickly gained the favor of Shacheng people.

"Sand City Di News" launched a special report on this, with the main title "It Changed Sand City: Our Giant Baras", making the Frost Giant suddenly become a star scholar in the city. Even Mayor Slimold came to visit and expressed his heartfelt thanks and congratulations to it.

On the day Balas left, many people from Shacheng came to see him off. There are old people and children, tree people, elves, ghosts, skeleton ancestors, war cats... and Nibelungs.

The young collector named Bernie took a large number of photos of Barras with a crystal in his hand, recording this precious moment.

 “Come back often, giant.”

At this moment, Ballas and Bernie just nodded to each other.

The giant turned around and strode deep into the desert.

 …

 Returning to the Kingdom of Mist after a long absence, Barras felt that the surroundings had become completely different.

That endless bubbling spring, under the seemingly ordinary phenomenon, hides the unknown mysteries of elements.

It is the fountain of life and the source of poison. It arranges and combines all elements in an orderly manner, giving birth to the form of the Nibelung and forming the giant from it.

 After Balas appeared, Nibelungen children crawled out of the ice and ice springs. They followed their instincts and moved closer to the giant, showing intimacy and trust to it.

This time, Balas just sat cross-legged next to the Eternal Fountain, letting the children climb on his knees and arms, curiously touching his ice armor.

 It installed the ice steam furnace it brought back and turned the ice elements into strands of silk.

Barras pulled out an icicle, stretched the twine into balls, flowers and human shapes, and handed them to the children.

 The Kingdom of Mist is too quiet.

 Shacheng is not like this. It is always noisy but full of life and vitality.

So, while making ice element toys, Barras said: "Let me tell you a story. There once was a young man who left home and came to a wonderful city..."

The children in Nibelung licked their ice toys and listened attentively.

 The wind in the Land of Mist echoes the voice of the giant.

“…Okay, that’s the end of the story. Go get some rest. You should get more sleep at your age.”

 It waved its hand.

The children held their toys and obediently crawled back into the ice.

Baras stood up slowly and looked at the ice fields around him.

 At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind.

"came back."

Barras is too familiar with this voice. When I hear it again ten years later, my body can't help but convulse in fear.

 Blood Knight Nevid stood behind Baras: "If you need help, come to me."

 … “Yes, sir.”

 After finishing speaking, the Blood Knight fell into silence again.

Barras began digging and moving the ice.

 It plans to build an ice and snow city here so that the children of Nibelungen can move freely here, and also allows people who are willing to come here to stay for a while.
