Razor Collar in Bloomfield is one of the most important cities in the Duchy of Winter.
Locals call it "Razor Hill".
This is not because its terrain resembles a razor... but because on the mountain here lives a giant dragon nicknamed "The Barber".
It is still kind to people for the time being, it has no special hobbies, and it will not wreak havoc on the world. It's not like the old grandmother, who will fall into dragon sleep every few decades and sleep non-stop... It's more like Suifu, who is studying something in his own home.
Dragons are very intelligent creatures, their intelligence is very high, so they live in isolation. There are hardly any dragons who are enemies of people - because they are smart and know that this will make their peaceful life uneasy.
There are not many dragons left in this era.
It's not because of the lack of magic power or some other reason... but the dragons that came to Atherland back then were almost all gods before the Third Age.
Dragons are creatures that existed before the First Age. The so-called "first era" is something that humanoids began to exist after the concept of "history" was born.
Many of those who did not become gods died or left Atherland for various reasons.
The "living desert" is a deadly natural disaster for elves and centaurs. But for the giant dragon, it is just a dangerous terrain that is difficult to walk...
In this world today, there are less than ten giant dragons that have not yet become gods. Seven of them disguised themselves as human beings and formed the "Alliance of Singers", which became... a well-known idol group in the teaching country. It is also the maintainer of order.
Winter has two dragons.
One is called "Barber" and the other is called "Snow".
The reason why a barber is called a barber is because he will shave everyone who offends him into bald heads - those who dream of slaying dragons, or covet treasures in the dragon's nest will be shaved by the barber. Throw back to Razor Hill. When others see that someone's forehead is suddenly bald, they know what stupid thing he has done.
Therefore, there is also a proverb in Lin Dong, "the one who shaved his head", which means the lucky one who survived somehow.
The Razor Collar is also the main source of Frost Beast products.
Whether it is to extract the blood of the frost beast,
All kinds of semi-finished medicines are made into various semi-finished products or frozen and stored; or the raw hides of frost beasts are stripped for tanning, dyeing and finishing, all of which are carried out in Razor Ridge.
Although the main value of raising frost beasts is blood and fur. But the meat can't be wasted - whether it is made into frozen meat steaks or into sausages, it can effectively improve the current situation of lack of food in the Principality of Winter.
These frost beasts were not sent to the army, each of them adopted a tall, strong and muscular large-scale military frost beast as a mount and a hunting beast.
It was cultivated by the emotions of felons, death row inmates, and spies being tortured in prison. The claws were cut off on time, leaving only the ability to eat emotions, and at the same time eat less and grow fat. Use frost beast.
Although it sounds like a dementor from Azkaban, it actually looks more like a fattened orange cat.
At first glance, you can't even tell if it's a cat or a pig.
"Oh, is this the Frost Beast!"
A kind and cheerful middle-aged man with black hair and dark eyes, deep facial features, and a deep smile stood in the crowd and looked at the fat frost beast being transported in the cage.
"Did you see the frost beast for the first time?"
A well-dressed middle-aged lady in frost beast fur asked, "Is it a foreigner?"
"Ah, yes. Beautiful lady!"
The middle-aged man extended his hand friendly: "Hello, my name is Ghirlandaio David Buonaro. Not long after I came to the Principality, the popular etiquette here is... shake hands, right?."
"Yes, you're right. When shaking hands, it's best to open the other hand with the palm facing the other side and naturally."
After being flattered, the woman who looked solemn and serious couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth slightly.
Shaking hands with His Excellency "Ghirlandaio", she taught a few words casually and habitually, and realized that she was a little rude.
She coughed lightly, and then introduced herself calmly: "Leona Bunyan. The third daughter of the Bunyan family."
"Hello, Ms. Bunyan!"
"Ghirlandaio" smiled cheerfully, and through the other party's words, intelligently judged that the other party's surname should be called.
He said cheerfully: "How do I say it... I thought at first that the frost beast is a terrible creature like a giant wolf! I didn't expect it to be a little cute when I looked at it... If it wasn't too scary, I would like to raise one. Try it hahahaha!"
"Most of the frost beasts are wolves, but that doesn't mean they are all wolves."
Leona smiled helplessly and explained: "It's just that during the good years, there are many wild wolves and foxes here in the Principality, so the most numerous and most common frost beasts are wolf-shaped."
The Frost Beast itself is a monster that has undergone a physical mutation after being immersed in a blizzard that is full of curses but will not kill it for a long time. Bear, deer, and badger types of frost beasts also exist.
But no matter what kind of body structure they were before they were alienated, after they became frost beasts, there was only a gap between their size and physique.
The flesh removed from them was a dark, almost dark purple piece of flesh. Even indoors, it freezes on its own—if you cut it into pieces, it will have a strong fishy and chilled taste, and the muscles are very strong and even hard to chew. Some gourmets with strange tastes, or very skilled cooks, will try to challenge this rare ingredient.
Of course, after roasting it, the taste of frost beast meat is almost the same as that of tougher beef jerky. The cold smell disappeared.
"Did you know that if you illuminate juvenile frost beasts with a strong light, you can see the opaque blood vessels like tree branches in their translucent bodies. And the shadow blocks close to the heart."
Their former internal organs are almost all gone. In addition to the huge heart that was several times larger than before and occupied the stomach, there were the blood vessels connected to the skin, the 'cardiac sac' hidden behind the heart.
Seeing that many frost beasts were transported by a long convoy, completely occupying the road and unable to move at will, Leona couldn't help chatting with the especially kind middle-aged man beside her: "Although the frost beasts eat positive emotions, But not by the lungs or the stomach...but by their blood."
They absorb emotions through their skin, and store the positive emotions they absorb in a "heart sac" shaped like a gall at the back of the heart. The more emotions are picked up, the more the fluid inside the emotional sac will clump up.
If the belly of the frost beast is cut open at this time, the crystals in the heart sac are taken out - this crystal can be used as a powerful curse material, that is, "emotional crystals". This will make the frost beast very weak, but if the wound is well stitched, it will not necessarily die.
The crystal color of different emotions is different. It can be separated by physical means. And a piece of "happy" crystallization, after being processed and consumed, can directly bring people happy feelings... Similarly, feelings such as "loyalty", "hope", and "braveness" can also be sold.
This is a special underground industry unique to the Principality of Winter.
- Soul Thief.
Steal happiness, courage, love, hope...and sell it to those who need it.
"Ghirlandaio" listened carefully, and from time to time uttered exclamations such as "So it is", "It is so", "You know so much", "Ah, what a great insight".
He nodded thoughtfully.
