Razor Collar in Bloomfield Province is one of the most important cities in the Principality of Winter.
Locals call it "Razor Ridge."
This is not because its terrain is like a razor... but because there is a giant dragon nicknamed "Barber" living on the mountain here.
It is still kind to others, has no special hobbies, and will not wreak havoc on the world. It's not like an old grandmother, who falls into dragon's sleep every few decades and sleeps non-stop... It's more like Father Sui, who stays at home and studies something.
Dragons are very intelligent creatures. They are very intelligent and therefore live in isolation. There are almost no dragons that are enemies of people - because they are smart and know that this will make their peaceful life unstable.
There are not many dragons left in this era.
It's not because of lack of magic or other reasons...but almost all of the dragons who came to Yasselan back then had become gods before the Third Age.
Dragons are creatures that existed before the First Age. The so-called "First Age" is something that humanoid creatures began to exist after the concept of "history" was born.
Many of those who did not become gods died for various reasons or left Yasselan.
The "living desert" is a deadly natural disaster for elves and centaurs. But for the giant dragon, it is just a difficult and dangerous terrain...
In this world today, there are less than ten dragons who have not yet become gods. Seven of them disguised themselves as humans and formed the "Singer Alliance", becoming... a famous idol group in the Theocracy. He is also the maintainer of order.
There are two giant dragons in winter.
One end is called "Barber" and the other is called "Xixue".
The reason why the barber is called the barber is because he will shave the heads of those who offend him - those who dream of being a dragon-slaying hero or covet the treasures of the dragon's lair will have their heads shaved by the barber. After becoming bald, he was thrown back to Razor Ridge. When others see someone suddenly bald, they know he has done something stupid.
Therefore, there is also a proverb in winter, "The person with the shaved head", which means the lucky person who survives without knowing what is going on.
Razor Collar is also the main production place for Frost Beast series products.
Whether it is extracting the blood of frost beasts and making various semi-finished medicines or freezing and preserving them; or peeling the hairy hides of frost beasts for tanning, dyeing and finishing, all are done in Razor Ridge.
Although the main value of raising frost beasts is blood and fur. But meat cannot be wasted - whether it is made into frozen steaks or sausages, it can effectively improve the lack of food in the Principality of Winter.
These frost beasts are not the tall, strong, and muscular large military frost beasts that are sent to the army and each person adopts one as a mount and hunting beast.
Instead, it was cultivated using the emotions of felons, death row prisoners, and spies who were tortured in prison. The claws were cut off on time, leaving only the ability to swallow emotions. At the same time, you can grow even if you eat less. Fat animals use frost beasts.
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 whether it’s a cat or a pig.
"Oh, is this the Frost Beast!"
A middle-aged man with black hair, black eyes, and a deep-featured smile stood in the crowd and looked at the fat frost beast being transported in the cage. He couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "I really saw this. !"
"Is this your first time seeing a frost beast?"
A well-dressed middle-aged lady wearing frost beast fur asked: "Are you a foreigner?"
"Ah, yes. Beautiful lady!"
The middle-aged man stretched out his hand in a friendly manner: "Hello, my name is Ghirandaio David Buonaro. I have just arrived in the principality not long ago, and the popular etiquette here is...shaking hands, right?"
"Yes, you are right. In addition, when shaking hands, it is best for the other hand to face the other person and open it naturally."
After being flattered, the woman who looked a little solemn and serious could not help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly.
I shook hands with His Excellency "Ghirlandaio" and she casually gave him a few words of habitual instruction before she realized that it was a bit rude.
She coughed lightly, and then calmly introduced herself: "Leona Bunyan. The third daughter of the Bunyan family."
"Hello, Ms. Bunyan!"
"Ghirlandaio" smiled cheerfully, and through the other person's words, he cleverly judged the last name he should call the other person.
He said cheerfully: "How should I put it...I thought at first that the frost beast was a terrifying creature like a giant wolf! I didn't expect that it turned out to be a little cute...if it wasn't so scary, I would have I want to try raising one, hahaha!"
"The vast majority of 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 a lot of wild wolves and foxes here in the principality, so the most numerous and common frost beasts are wolf-shaped."
The frost beast itself is a monster that has been immersed in a blizzard full of curses for a long time, but it will not kill it, so it has undergone physical changes. Bear, deer, and badger type frost beasts also exist.
But no matter what they were like before the alienation and what body structure they had, after they became frost beasts, the only difference was their size and physique.
The meat removed from their bodies was dark, almost dark purple. Even if it is placed indoors, it will freeze by itself - if you cut it into slices, it will have a strong fishy and chilled taste, and the muscles are very strong and even difficult to chew. Some gourmets with strange tastes or very skilled cooks will try to challenge this rare ingredient.
Of course, after roasting it, the frost beast meat tastes almost like harder beef jerky. The cold smell disappeared.
"Did you know that if you shine a strong light on immature frost beasts, you can see the opaque blood vessels like branches in their translucent bodies. And the shadow block immediately behind the heart. ”
Nearly all of their previous internal organs have disappeared. In addition to the huge heart, which was several times larger than before and occupied the stomach, there were the blood vessels connected to the skin and the 'cardiac sac' hidden behind the heart.
Seeing many frost beasts being transported in long convoys, completely occupying the road, and unable to move at will, Leona couldn't help but chat with the particularly kind middle-aged man next to her: "Although frost beasts can eat Positive emotions, but not from the lungs or the stomach...but from their blood."
They absorb emotions through their skin and store the positive emotions they absorb in a "heart sac" shaped like a gallbladder behind their heart. The more emotions you draw in, the more the fluid inside your emotional sac will clump together.
If you cut open the frost beast's abdomen at this time and take out the crystal in the heart sac - this crystal can be used as a powerful curse material~IndoMTL.com~, which is also an "emotional crystal". This will make the frost beast very weak, but if the wound is sutured well, it will not necessarily die.
The crystallization colors of different emotions are different. It can be separated by physical means. And a piece of "happy" crystal, after being processed and taken by people, can directly bring happy feelings to people... In the same way, "loyalty", "hope", "brave" and other feelings can also be sold.
This is a special underground industry unique to the Principality of Winter.
——The mind thief.
Steal happiness, courage, love, hope... and then sell them to those in need.
"Ghirlandaio" listened attentively, and from time to time uttered exclamations such as "That's it", "That's it", "You know so much", "Ah, I really learned a lot".
He nodded thoughtfully.
