Chapter 495 Daydreamer

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

The opponent is square like a large fruit core, with two eyes and two mustaches on the shell, and a specially made black wide-brimmed hat on his head.

This is the president of the Sand City Mutual Aid Foundation, Prince Walnut Wadiye.

"I'm so glad to have you on board, Mr. Barras."

The voice of the Walnut Prince was humming, with a rhythmic affinity.

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

The president of the foundation said: "I come from the Kingdom of Kamit, which was once a rich and vast world. Later, it was invaded by a group of monkeys, and I was exiled to the Sand City in the form of a ghost. With the kindness of Lord Yao, I was taken care of and accepted by my friends in the Yao tribe."

"For me, the idea of ​​restoring my country has never disappeared. I formed a restoration army and traveled everywhere, hoping to restore the Kingdom of Kamit one day..."

It paused, and a smile appeared on its face. "I know this sounds ridiculous. Whether the Kingdom of Kamit is built there, where that world is located, and whether the future Yunzhong Temple will intersect with it, these are all unknown things. The void outside is so vast and boundless that it is nothing but a distant delusion for two specific worlds to come into contact."

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

Originally, Balas still maintained a serious expression.

But when it heard this, it couldn't hold it back and suddenly opened its mouth and laughed out loud.

Soon it stopped smiling.

“Hahaha, this is what a lot of people feel when they hear me speak for the first time.”

Wadiye didn't care. His eyes on his nut face were also smiling. "It does sound like a daydream, but if it can come true, it would be great, wouldn't it?"

Barras thought.

Compared with the restoration of the country, Wadiye’s plan to create a god from the restoration army is even more outrageous.

Even though Balas had been sleeping in the closed Kingdom of Mist for a long time and had only recently entered maturity, it knew what the titles of God and Lord God meant.

Dreaming is more realistic.

"After years of exploration, I realized that restoration cannot be rushed. To some extent, restoration is nation building, and building a country requires a lot of patience and foundation."

Wadiye continued to grin, his beard curling up on both sides: "Some people in this world have their sights set on the distant stars, while others just want to find a job. Many people try every possible means to prepare, but lack the resources and support to make the final push."

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

“The original intention of the foundation is to find suitable supporters for everyone. As long as you are well prepared, have ideas, feasible plans, and the courage to implement them, you may find a partner. Even a small person can make a big contribution.”

Wadiye continued, "Mr. Barras, you grew up in the Land of Mist. You should have some understanding of the desert and Sand City outside during this period. What do you think Sand City lacks the most?"

Baras thought for a moment and said, "It should be water."

"right."

"But I can't conjure water, and water isn't my specialty."

"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 severely damaged, so there is always a shortage of water here."

"But what I will say is that compared to water, the effect of ice is more immediate."

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

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

Wadiye put away his smile and said, "Ice is widely used. For example, it can be used to store fresh meat and fruit. In cold regions, food does not easily rot. If there is ice, the people of Sand City can taste fresh meat, eggs, milk, and fish instead of having to eat only dried meat, wheat cakes, jam, and pickled vegetables."

"In addition, in the medical field, ice can relieve pain, stop bleeding, and relieve itching. Especially for some people with traumatic infections, ice can prevent the spread of infection."

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

Baras seemed to understand: "You mean, you want me to condense the ice element? Unfortunately, this is impossible. The ice element is an inexhaustible source. Even if I can convert some of the elements into ice elements, this cannot last long. Once the ice elements come into contact with the high temperature outside, they will dissipate. It's useless."

After Prince Walnut asked in detail, he couldn't help but show a look of disappointment.

It originally thought that Baras was the first person to possess the [Secret of Ice Element] and could transform other elements into ice. If the ability of the Frost Giant was used, perhaps the ice could be kept in the Sand City.

"Anyway, you're welcome to join us."

…

That's how Barras came to the Foundation.

President Wadiye and Vice President Sharo are very busy.

Wadiye is committed to promoting the foundation everywhere, raising funds and assistance from businessmen and extraordinary people, while Sharo is looking for various potential or capable talents and inviting them to join the foundation.

Celebrities like Bingjiao, Fujianbei, and Shawang are only listed in the foundation and rarely participate in actual activities. This is also thanks to Wadiye's tireless efforts.

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

"At first, everyone thought it was a fraud. After Wadiye formed the Restoration Army, he set up the foundation. If it was a fraud, then it would be no different from the truth if it could continue to deceive itself and everyone else for more than a hundred years... It has been running around all the time, without stopping or enjoying itself, as if it was 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 when the salary difference between the Shell people and the local people of Sand City was huge. The Shell people didn't know how to resist and had been silently enduring. Wadiye stood up to speak for them and formally submitted a joint letter of protest."

"After Mayor Slemold learned about this, the council quickly introduced relevant supplementary regulations to ensure equal pay for equal work for workers."

"If outsiders are bullied and the city hall has not responded or dealt with the problem, they will turn to Wadiye for help. After Wadiye investigates the situation, he will 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 great that Sand City has Wadiye. Other cities don't have such a person."

…

It is difficult to judge Wadiye.

It is very smart and sociable, always full of enthusiasm and fighting spirit, and can always find sponsors and helpers, such as Ms. Mina, a well-known wealthy woman in Sand City, Bingjiao, a famous medical figure, and Fu Jianbei, a famous swordsman... These people eventually became friends with it.

But Wadiye is not so smart and rational. It always does thankless things, generously sponsors, speaks for outsiders and those in distress, and even publicly criticizes various problems in the construction of the sand city and the legal system.

Many people join the foundation just to get funding, and they will leave quickly after getting the benefits. Many people do not give back or make any contribution to the foundation. Wadiye does not care about this.

The frost giant thought that Baras must be planning something in secret. He worked in the foundation for two years, mainly responsible for guarding the warehouse, and finally figured it out.

In addition to individual sponsors, the Sand City Mutual Aid Foundation also has regular funding from two large organizations, White Castle and Puji Theological Seminary Medicine.

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

During his busy work, Barras occasionally encountered the Nibelungen tribe on the street. At first, the children would run away when they saw it, but later they would lower their heads and walk past quickly, and finally they would smile at it like normal residents.

Barras still has the urge to eat Nibelungen.

But these are already controllable.

If you hurt others, you will go to jail. This is the law in Shacheng.

After learning a lot of knowledge, Baras gradually realized that the so-called Nibelung was nothing more than a product of a bunch of elements condensed and arranged in an orderly manner.

If you add appropriate amounts of fire, ice, water, blood, copper and other elements to a lamb chop, and then sprinkle some ice spring toxin, a specialty of the Land of Mist, on it, it will taste not much different from Nibelungen.

Uncovering the secret of food gave Baras a strong sense of accomplishment.

I am completely different now.

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

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

We can grow and become strong without devouring each other.

Barras's curiosity about his origins evolved into an extreme thirst for knowledge.

Because of its outstanding talent in ice element, it was able to apply for further studies at the seminary. After studying at the pharmacy school for 4 years, it graduated with excellent results and became a practicing physician.

Then, Balas went to the Engineering College in Yancheng for further studies for three years, majoring in mathematics and taking electives in engineering, graphics and geology, and got a position as an engineer.

The more it learns, the more insignificant it feels.

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

But in the world of Yunzhong Temple, he is the only frost giant.

A single piece of evidence is not enough.

All clues and mysteries of origin are hidden under the misty glaciers of the Secret Mist Kingdom.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Barras decided to return to his hometown.

At the farewell party, it gave Wadiye a gift.

"What kind of device is this? An endless supply of ice elements? How is this done?"

Prince Walnut's eyes widened when he saw the stove in front of him.

The funeral doctor next to him stopped smiling and looked extremely solemn: "The structure looks a bit like a large steam furnace... but the element fluctuations inside are different. This is the ice element that is condensed using the Omni-Stone. It runs very stably, and it maintains the condensation of the ice element by consuming the Omni-Stone."

The silent Fu Jianbei also spoke up: "Qianyuan Mountain has had something similar, but it requires a lot of water, and it is easy for the elements to mix up and cause interruptions and turn into mist. It has always been difficult for the element casting furnace to separate a pure single element."

Ms. Mina smiled and said, "Although I don't know the exact principle, I can see that this new furnace is absolutely priceless."

The funeral corner asked: "Barras, can you tell me how long this furnace can last?"

Barras said: "As long as there is enough omni-stone, the outer shell is not cracked, and the crystal structure is not damaged, this ice steam stove can last forever."

“…”

Bingjiao was stunned for a moment, his fingers trembling non-stop: "Keep it up... This will completely change the current state of medicine. That's great, that's great!"

He rubbed his hands happily and walked around the stove, looking at it from left to right. "You are a genius, Barras! You are the most gifted giant in history! You have done something so earth-shattering without making any noise!"

Barras was very calm at this time.

Over the years, it has been clear that Sand City lacks this.

However, it took it nearly ten years to study the ice steam stove.

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

Ice steam stoves are much more complicated.

First, you need to use the omnipotent stone to construct the crystal inner shell, and use saltpeter and water to complete the first freezing. Subsequently, the ice element will continue to dissipate, and the special structure of the crystal structure will continuously capture and gather the wind element and water element and transform them into ice element.

A series of links operate continuously to ensure that the ice steam furnace can create a stable cold environment.

"The most difficult part of this device is the crystal structure. I cut off part of my body and did a lot of imitation and trial and error... I finally made this relatively stable form. It can be used, but I can't understand how the elements are transformed in subtle ways."

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

Bingjiao's hand kept stroking the calf-shaped ice steam stove: "I found that boiling water can reduce the incidence of illness. This is also a summary. I still don't understand all the principles. As long as it can be used, I can follow this path!"

Prince Walnut realized it belatedly and showed a happy look on his face: "Barras, you actually solved this problem! I knew you have incredible talent!"

At everyone's repeated request, Balas 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 the people in Shacheng.

The Sand City Gazette published a special report on this with the main title "It Changed Sand City: Our Giant Baras", turning the Frost Giant into a star scholar in the city. Even the mayor Slymod paid him a visit to express his heartfelt thanks and congratulations.

On the day Baras left, many people from Sand City came to see him off, including old people, children, tree people, elves, ghosts, skeleton ancestors, war cats... and Nibelungen.

The young photographer named Bernie took a lot of photos of Barras with a lens in hand, recording this precious moment.

"Come back often, giant."

At this point, Barras and Bernie just nodded to each other.

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

…

Returning to the long-lost Land of Mist, Baras felt that the surroundings had become completely different.

The bubbling, inexhaustible spring hides unknown elemental mysteries beneath its seemingly ordinary appearance.

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

After Baras appeared, the children of the Nibelung crawled out of the ice and ice springs. They instinctively approached the giant and showed intimacy and trust to it.

This time, Baras just sat cross-legged beside the Inexhaustible Spring, allowing the children to climb onto his knees and arms and touch his ice armor out of curiosity.

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

Baras pulled off an icicle, pulled the twine into balls, flowers and human shapes and handed them to the children.

The Land of Mist is too quiet.

This is not the case with Sand City, which is always noisy but full of life and energy.

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

The Nibelung children licked their ice toys and listened attentively.

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

"...Okay, that's the end of the story. Go and have some rest. You should get more sleep at your age."

It waved.

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.

“I’m back.”

Baras was so familiar with this voice that when he heard it again ten years later, his body would still convulse in fear.

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

"...Yes, sir."

After saying this, the Blood Knight fell into his perennial silence again.

Barras began to chisel and carry ice.

It plans to build an ice and snow city here so that children from the Nibelung can move around freely and those who wish to come here can stay for a while.
