Chapter 495 Daydreamer

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

  The pair is as square as a large fruit core, with two eyes, two beards on the shell, and a special black wide-brimmed hat on its head.

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

   "Very pleased to have you on board, Mr. Ballas."

  The Walnut Prince's voice is humming and has a cadenced affinity.

   "I know you have a lot of doubts, but let me tell you from the beginning."

The president of the foundation said: "I come from the Kingdom of Kamit, which used to be a rich and vast world, but was later invaded by a group of monkeys. The care and acceptance of friends."

   "For me, the idea of ​​restoring my country has never disappeared. I formed the Restoration Army and ran around, in order to restore the Kamit Kingdom one day..."

It paused, with a smile on its face: "I know this sounds ridiculous. Whether the Kamit Kingdom was built, where the world is located, and whether the Yunzhong Temple will intersect with it in the future are all unknown. The void outside is so vast, that the contact between two specific worlds is tantamount to a distant delusion."

   "However, I don't think it is completely impossible. If a great title **** can be born in the Restoration Army, or even a noble and powerful main god, then maybe it can be located in the Kamit Kingdom."

  Originally Ballas still maintained a serious expression.

  But hearing this, it still didn't hold back, and opened its mouth to laugh out loud.

   Soon it restrained its smile.

   "Hahaha, many people are like this when they hear me for the first time."

  Wadier didn't care, and his eyes on his nutty face were also curved into two smiles: "It does sound like a daydream, but if it can be realized, it would be great, wouldn't it?"

   Ballas thought.

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

  Even if Balas has been sleeping in the closed country of fog for a long time and has not yet entered maturity, it still knows what it means to be called a **** and the main god.

   It is more realistic to dream.

  "After years of exploration, I realized that the restoration of the country should not be rushed. To a certain extent, the restoration of the country is the establishment of a country. To establish a country requires a lot of patience and foundation."

Wadiye is still grinning, and his beard is also tilted to the sides: "Some people in this world aim for distant stars, and some people just want to find a job. Many people do everything possible to prepare, but they lack Resources and support that hit the door.”

   "So I established [Shacheng Mutual Aid Foundation]."

"The original intention of the foundation is to find suitable supporters for everyone. As long as you are prepared, have an idea, have a feasible plan, and have the courage to implement it, you may find a partner, and even a small person can make a big contribution. "

  Wadier said again: "Mr. Barras, you grew up in the country of fog. During this period of time, you should have some understanding of the desert and the sand city outside. What do you think the sand city lacks the most?"

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

"right."

   "But I can't conjure water, and I'm not good at 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 water elements are too damaged, so there is always a shortage of water here."

   "But what I want to say is that the effect of ice is more immediate than water."

  Baras agreed: "It's really hot here, and it would be much cooler if there was ice."

   "You're right, it's just that the ice I'm talking about is in a more detailed and specialized field."

Wadiye put away his smile: "Ice has a wide range of applications, such as storing fresh meat and fruits. In cold regions, food is not easy to perish. If there is ice, Shacheng people can taste those fresh meat, eggs, milk and fish instead of jerky, barley cakes, jams and pickles.”

   "In addition, in the medical field, ice can relieve pain, hemorrhage, and itching. Especially for some trauma infections, ice can prevent the spread of infection."

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

Ballas seemed to understand: "You mean, you want me to condense ice elements? Unfortunately, this is impossible. Ice elements are the source and an inexhaustible spring. Even if I can convert some elements into ice elements, but This cannot last for a long time, and the ice element will dissipate as soon as it comes into contact with the high temperature outside. It is useless."

  Prince Walnut couldn't help showing a disappointed look after detailed inquiries.

  It originally thought that Ballas was the first person who possessed the [Mystery of Ice Element] and could transform other elements into ice element. If the frost giant's ability is used, it may be possible to keep the ice in the sand city.

   "No matter what you say, you are welcome to join."

  …

   Just like that, Ballas came to the Foundation.

  President Wadia and Vice-President Sharo are very busy.

  Wadier is committed to promoting the foundation everywhere, raising funds and assistance from businessmen and extraordinary people. Sha Luo is looking for all kinds of potential or capable talents and inviting them to join the foundation.

  Celebrities such as Yanjiao, Negative Sword North, and Sha Wang are all only in the name of the foundation and rarely participate in actual activities. This is also thanks to Wadiya's tireless running.

   Gradually, Ballas also learned what everyone thought of Wadia.

"At first everyone thought it was a liar. After Wadiye formed the National Restoration Army and opened the foundation, if it was a liar, then it would be no different from the real thing if it could continue to lie to itself and everyone for more than a hundred years...it Running around all the time, never stopping and enjoying, it's like living in a daydream."

"The children like him, and the disadvantaged ethnic groups will go to Wadiye when they need help. There was a period of time before that the salary difference between the shell people and the locals in Shacheng was huge, and the shell people didn't know how to resist. , has been silently enduring, Wadi Ye stood up to speak for them, formally submitted a joint protest."

   "After the incident was learned by the Mayor of Slaymore, the council quickly introduced relevant supplementary regulations to ensure equal pay for equal work for workers."

   "If outsiders are being bullied and the city hall has not answered or dealt with it, they will go to Wadia for help. Wadia will be willing to help everyone after checking it out."

   "He's a respectable weirdo, an impressive guy."

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

  …

   It is difficult to judge Wadiye.

It is very smart and sociable, full of enthusiasm and fighting spirit for a long time, and can always find sponsors and helpers, such as Ms. It becomes a friend.

  Kavadiya is not so smart and rational. It always does some thankless things, generously sponsors, speaks out for outsiders and the poor, and even publicly criticizes various problems in the construction of Shacheng and the legal system.

  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. Wadiye didn't care about that either.

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

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

   Both organizations have established long-term strategic partnerships with the Foundation.

  During his busy work, Ballas would occasionally meet the Nibelungs on the street. At first, the children ran away when they saw it, and then walked quickly with their heads down, and finally they were able to smile like normal residents.

  Ballas still has the urge to eat Nibelungen.

   But these are already controllable.

   Hurting others is punishable by imprisonment, which is the law of Shacheng.

  After learning a lot of knowledge, Barras gradually realized that the so-called Nibelungen is just a product of a bunch of elements condensed and arranged in an orderly manner.

If you add an appropriate amount of elements such as fire, ice, water, blood, copper, etc. to a piece of lamb chops, and then sprinkle some ice spring toxin, which is a specialty of the country of mist, it will taste different from Nibelungen. not big.

   Cracking the food secret gave Ballas a strong sense of accomplishment.

   I have been very different.

  It is no longer a chaotic life controlled by appetite, but an intelligent giant with the ability to pursue and identify itself.

  In Yaocheng, the adults always protect the children, and the older children also protect the younger ones.

   We don’t need to eat each other to grow and get strong.

  Ballas' curiosity about his own origin has evolved into an extreme desire for knowledge.

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

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

  The more it learns, the more it feels small.

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

  But in the world of Yunzhong Temple, there is only one frost giant, himself.

   Isolated evidence cannot stand.

  All the clues and the mystery of the origin are hidden under the misty glacier of the Kingdom of Mystic Mist.

   Ballas decided to return to his hometown.

   At the farewell party when he left, it gave Wadia a gift.

   "What kind of device is this? A steady stream of ice elements? How does this work?"

  Prince Walnut saw the stove in front of him, his eyes widened.

The mortician next to him smiled with a restrained smile, and his face was extremely serious: "The shape and structure are somewhat like a large steam furnace... but the elemental fluctuations inside are different. This is the ice element driven by the Almighty Stone, and the operation is very stable. Through Consuming the Almighty Stone is maintaining the condensation of ice elements."

The silent Negative Sword North also spoke out: "Qianyuan Mountain has similar things, but it requires a lot of water, and it is easy to mix elements and cause disruption and turn into fog. It has always been difficult to separate pure single elements in element casting furnaces. "

  Ms. Mina smiled and said: "Although I don't know the specific principle, I can see that this new stove is definitely priceless."

  The funeral corner asked: "Balas, tell me how long this stove can last?"

  Ballas said: "As long as there are enough omnipotent stones, the outer shell is not broken, and the inner tank of the crystal structure is not damaged, this ice-gas furnace can last forever."

   "..."

  The funeral corner was stunned for a moment, and his fingers kept shaking: "Keep it going... This, this will completely change the status quo of medicine, great, great!"

He rubbed his hands happily, and couldn't get enough of looking around the stove: "You're a genius, Barras! You're the most gifted giant who ever lived! You're such a quiet fellow, you've done a rock-shattering thing !"

  Baras was very calm at this time.

  In these years, it is very clear that Shacheng lacks this.

  However, it took nearly ten years to study ice-gas stoves.

  Fire gas stove improves the combustion efficiency of charcoal and coal through the all-purpose stone, and then maintains the stability and aggregation of the fire element.

  Ice gas stove is much more complicated.

Firstly, the Almighty Stone should be used to build a crystal structure liner, and saltpeter and water should be used to freeze for the first time. The subsequent 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 transform 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 inner tank of the crystal structure. I cut part of my own body and carried out a lot of imitation and trial and error... Finally, I made this relatively stable form, which is only usable, but between the elements How to convert it in such a small way, I can't understand myself."

   "No need to understand! Understanding is always continuous and correct!"

Funeral Jiao's hand kept rubbing the calf-shaped ice-steam stove: "I found that boiling water can reduce illness, and I also summed it up. I still don't understand all the principles. As long as you can use it, you can follow this road." Walk!"

  Prince Walnut realized it later, and a happy look appeared on his face: "Balas, you actually broke through this problem! I knew it, you have incredible talents!"

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

  In half a year, the ice steam stove was officially launched after several improvements, and quickly won the love of Shacheng people.

  "Shacheng Mansion News" launched a special report on this, with the main headline "It changed Sandcheng: Our giant Balas", making the Frost Giant a star scholar in the city. Even the mayor, Slymode, paid a visit and expressed his heartfelt thanks and congratulations to it.

  The day Balas left, many Shacheng people came to see him off. There are old people, children, treants, elves, ghosts, bones, war cats... and Nibelungs.

  The young interviewer named Bernie held a crystal and took a lot of chips against Ballas, recording this precious moment.

   "Come back often, giant."

  At the moment, Ballas and Bernie just nod to each other.

  The giant turned around and strode into the depths of the desert.

  …

  Back to the long-lost country of fog, Balas felt that the surroundings had become completely different.

  The bubbling inexhaustible spring, under the seemingly ordinary phenomenon, hides the unknown element mystery.

   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 root, and shaping the giant out of it.

  After Barras appeared, children of the Nibelungen crawled out of the ice and ice springs. They moved closer to the giant instinctively, showing intimacy and trust to it.

  This time, Ballas just sat cross-legged next to the Inexhaustible Spring, allowing the children to climb up his knees and arms and touch his ice armor curiously.

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

  Ballas plucked an icicle, pulled the silk into balls, flowers, and figures, and handed it to the children.

  The Land of Fog is too quiet.

  Shacheng is not like this. It is always noisy, but it is full of vigor and vitality.

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

  The Nibelungen children licked their ice toys and listened intently.

  In the wind of the country of fog, the voice of the giant echoed.

   "...Okay, this is the end of the story, go to rest, you should sleep more at your age."

  It waved its hand.

  The children hugged their toys and obediently got back into the ice.

  Balas stood up slowly, and it looked at the surrounding ice fields.

  At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind.

"came back."

   Ballas was all too familiar with this voice. Ten years later, when I hear it again, my body can't help convulsing in fear.

  Blood Knight Nevid stood behind Balas: "I need help, come to me."

   "...OK, sir."

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

  Baras began digging and moving ice.

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