Razorland, in the province of Bloomfield, is one of the most important cities in the Duchy of Winter.

Locals call it "Razor Ridge".

It's not because the terrain is razor-like...... It's because on the hill here, there lives a dragon nicknamed "The Barber".

It is still kind to people, has no special hobbies, and does not wreak havoc on the world. It's not like an old grandmother who falls into a dragon sleep every few decades...... It's more like a flint father, nesting in his own house and studying something.

Dragons are very intelligent creatures, and they are so intelligent that they live in isolation. There are few dragons who are hostile to man—because they are clever enough to know that this will make their peaceful lives uneasy.

There are not many dragons left in this era.

It's not because of the lack of magic or anything...... Rather, almost all of the dragons that came to Yaseran had become gods before the Third Age.

Dragons are creatures that existed before the First Age. The so-called "First Period" is something that began to exist after the concept of "history" was born in humanoids.

Many of those who did not become gods died or left Athralan for various reasons.

The Living Desert is a deadly scourge for elves and centaurs. But for the dragon, it's just a treacherous terrain that is a little tricky to navigate......

In this world, there are less than ten dragons who have not yet become gods. Seven of them disguised themselves as humans and formed the "Singing League", which became ...... in the Church A well-known idol group. At the same time, it is also the maintainer of order.

There are two dragons in Winter.

One is called "Barber" and the other is called "Fine Snow".

The barber is called the barber because he shaves the heads of those who offend him - those who dream of slaying dragons or covet the treasures of the dragon's lair will be shaved bald by the barber and thrown back to Razor Ridge. When others look at someone's head suddenly bald, they know what stupid thing he has done.

Therefore, there is also a proverb in the cold winter, "the one who shaves his head", which means the lucky one who survives without knowing what is going on.

The razor collar is also the main source of the Frostbeast series.

Whether it is extracting the blood of the frost beast, making various semi-finished potions, or freezing and preserving; Or peel the fur of the frost beast, 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 meat can't be wasted – whether it's made into frozen cutlets or sausages, it can effectively improve the lack of food in the Duchy of Winter.

These Frostbeasts are not large, tall, strong, muscular military Frostbeasts that are sent to the army and adopted as mounts and hunting beasts.

Rather, it was cultivated with the emotions of prison felons, death row prisoners, and tortured spies, and the claws were cut off on time, leaving only the ability to devour emotions, and at the same time the ability to grow fat with less food.

While it sounds like an Azkaban Dementor, 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 middle-aged man with black hair and black eyes, a deep facial features and a kind and cheerful smile, standing in the crowd, looking at the fat frost beast transported in the cage, couldn't help but praise in amazement: "I really saw it!" ”

"Is this the first time you've seen a frostbeast?"

A well-dressed middle-aged lady dressed in the fur of a frost beast asked, "Is it a foreigner?" ”

"Ah, yes. Beautiful lady! ”

The middle-aged man reached out in a friendly manner: "Hello, my name is Gilandaio David Buonaro. Shortly after arriving in the principality, the prevailing etiquette here was...... Shake hands, right? ”

"Yes, you're right. In addition, when shaking hands, it is best to spread out the palm of the other hand towards the other person. ”

After being flattered, some solemn and serious women couldn't help but raise the corners of their mouths slightly.

He shook hands with His Excellency "Gilandaio", and after a casual and habitual instruction, she realized that it was a bit rude.

She coughed lightly, then calmly introduced herself, "Leona Bunyan." The third daughter of the Bunyan family. ”

"Hello, Lady Bunyan!"

"Girlandaio" smiled happily, and through the words of the other party, he wisely judged that he should call the other person by his last name.

He said cheerfully, "How do you say that...... At first, I thought that the frostbeast was a terrible creature like a giant wolf! I didn't expect it to be a little cute when I looked at it this way...... If it weren't for the fact that it was too scary, I would still want to raise one and try it hahahaha! ”

"The vast majority of frost beasts are wolves, just because they are all wolves."

Leona smiled helplessly and explained, "It's just that in good years, there are many wild wolves and foxes here in the principality, so the largest and most 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 mutations. Bear, deer, and badger types of frostbeasts also exist.

But no matter what kind of body they looked like before they were alienated, after they became frost beasts, there was only a difference in size and physique.

The flesh they took from them was a dark, almost dark purple mass. Even indoors, it freezes on its own – if you cut it into slices, it will have a strong fishy and chilled taste, and the muscles are so strong that they are hard to chew. Some foodies with strange tastes, or very skilled chefs, will try to challenge this rare ingredient.

Of course, after roasting, the texture of the frost beast meat is almost like a relatively hard beef jerky. The cold smell is gone.

"Did you know that if you shine a bright light on an underage frost beast, you can see the opaque blood vessels in their translucent bodies, like tree branches? and shadow blocks clinging to the back of the heart. ”

Their previous entrails are almost gone. In addition to the huge heart, which is several times larger than before and squeezes the stomach, it is the blood vessels that connect to the skin, and the 'heart sac' hidden behind the heart.

Seeing that many frost beasts were transported by a long convoy and completely occupied the road, unable to move at will, Leona couldn't help but chat with the middle-aged man next to her: "Although frost beasts can eat positive feelings, they don't rely on their lungs or stomach...... but by their blood. ”

They draw emotions through their skin, and store the positive feelings they absorb in the gallbladder-shaped "heart sac" at the back of the heart. The more emotions are absorbed, the more clumps of fluid inside the emotional sac will be.

If you cut open the Frostbeast's abdomen at this time, you can remove the crystals from the heart sac - this crystals can be used as a powerful spell material, which is also known as "emotional crystals". This will make the Frostbeast very weak, but if the wound is well stitched, it will not necessarily die.

The crystallization color of different emotions is different. It can be separated by physical means. And a piece of "happy" crystallization, after being processed, can directly bring happy feelings to people...... In the same way, feelings such as "loyalty", "hope", and "bravery" can also be sold.

This is a special underground industry unique to the Duchy of Winter.

- Mind thief.

Stealing Happiness, Courage, Love, Hope...... Then sell it to those who need it.

"Gilandaio" listened attentively, and from time to time he exclaimed, "I see", "That's it", "You know so much", "Ah, what a long experience".

He nodded thoughtfully.
