Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 879 Meeting The Mysterious Village Chief

Chapter 879 Meeting The Mysterious Village Chief

-----

When we finally reached the village in the Frost Island, I had never thought we would end up encountering a Giant Golem made of Divine Ice which was shaped into a gigantic wall surrounding the town. This ma.s.sive "living" being was ancient and was simply referred by the carefree Charlotte as "Miss Ice". Perhaps she didn't really had a name, and due to her lack of memories, it seemed that she lacked a personality from when she was created by the Frost Queen. Nonetheless, she knew something about me. Apparently the Frost Queen has some sort of future seeing ability, because she predicted my own existence in the future.

When this Golem greeted me, she immediately was able to tell what I was as well, calling me the "Son of Nifl" and even an "honorable guest" and even more, she knew about the Dragons being Guardians of the world, and seemed to respect me a lot out of nowhere. Is the Frost Queen like this? If she is, it might not be so hard to deal with her as I had originally thought. Perhaps I can just use the whole "I am the guardian of the world" card to get my way through her into making her my ally. Of course, maybe telling her I am the Dragon King could help.

As we walked towards the town in the middle of the vast snowy land that Miss Ice protected, I couldn't help but think and ponder all of these things deeply. This entire thing seemed more than I had imagined. Being already predicted by the Frost Queen and not seen as a hostile enemy most likely meant she welcomed me here, and perhaps, she was also waiting for me. I had never expected I would be an honorable guest of the Frost Queen; this somewhat fills me with a lot of pride…

When we finally reached the town, we found out that most of the houses were made out of ice blocks and rocks. The stones were unnaturally shaped and had emanation of Mana, so they were probably created through Magic, earth Magic to be specific. The houses were all ma.s.sive, probably of at least two floors big, and there was one ma.s.sive fortress in the middle of all the houses, which amounted near forty. Probably a lot of people lived in each house.

And of course, people. The first people we saw were tall Ice Giants and Mountain Giants, but later noticed Beast-kin of various tribes, some small and burly dwarves, elves, and humans. Oh right, there were a few oddb.a.l.l.s like Majin too. The thing is every single person emanated the aura of at least a Rank 5 Mana Core. They were absurdly strong! I had never meet so many Rank 5 people gathered together in the same place. And they're… what? Almost a hundred people living here? d.a.m.n, that's already a ton.

"Wow, look!"

"A ton of people just arrived!"

"h.e.l.lO!"

"Mama! Mama! Look! New people!"

"How many years has it been since the last tourist came?"

"Hold on! That's Charlotte! My boy!"

Suddenly, all the people began to freak out. Perhaps because they get new visits every few years, they were all surprised and happy when they saw us all walking into town. We were a group of eight after all, so we were nothing but a large group. Without being able to escape, we ended being surrounded by tons of people. I even saw several children in here. Did they raise them here? They were not as strong as adults, but even the kids were at least Rank 3… Whew, this feels like the last town before the final boss or something, everyone is just absurdly strong, probably so they can survive and adapt to the strong monsters here.

We ended speaking with the people for a few minutes. Most of the folks were surprised and happy to see Charlotte again, who was quite well known around here. Charlotte ended guiding us towards the fort-like building, where we were greeted by a mysterious and rather beautiful Ice Giant woman. Her body was covered in various white tattoos showing animals, beasts, and the elements, and her long silvery-white hair was made into a pair of big braids resting over her rather enormous chest. She wore clothes made out of the pelt of the wolves that Frost just happened to add to his party, and she emanated a very strong aura as well, I could even sense a hint of divinity within her, which she was saving masterfully to not be easily detected.

Her eyes gleamed with bright golden light, and she had pointy ears that sprouted out of her silky hair. Nonetheless, the lady was beautiful and seemed to be quite old, not as old as Draugann, as she remained slightly youthful, but had a very motherly feeling, more like Benladann's mom.

"h.e.l.lo, and welcome. I've been waiting for all of you." She said with a smile. "Especially you."

The woman suddenly glanced at me with a calm and mystical smile. She seemed to emanate a strange aura I couldn't get out of my head.

"This is the Town's Chief, she's named Lady Aria!" Charlotte said.

"h.e.l.lo Charlotte, it is nice to meet you again, girl." Aria said, petting Charlotte. She was several times taller than our little captain, so her entire hand covered Charlotte's head. "Now, come in. Do you want some tea harvested from our farms?"

"Sure thing, we'll help ourselves." I said, walking in with everybody else. Benladann and Miranda began whispering to me though.

"Did she just said she was waiting for us?" Asked Miranda.

"And she also looked at Drake, did you know her from before?" Benladann asked.

"What?! Of course not. I have no idea what she's talking about… We'll have to find out ourselves." I said to the two girls, as they seemed to have finally calmed down enough for the rest of us to enter inside of the large fortress-like house. Inside, we found all sorts of antiques, it was a rather interesting sight.
