Chapter 440 - 16. Trading
"Frost Snow... Wutong Tree?"
After hearing Valentina’s words, Alagina chewed over the somewhat familiar terms, finally finding the corresponding names in the myths worshipped by the North Realm that revolved around the Frost Phoenix.
But all North Realm people only believed that the legendary Wutong Tree did not truly exist because humans had ventured deep into the Snow Mountain countless times, yet had never found any trace of the mythical Phoenix Wutong Tree.
"Ah, yes, they did exist... at least they once did."
Valentina, sitting in a wheelchair, with hands crossed and no response, merely glanced at the red-clothed man beside her. The Schwali man named Balzac coughed lightly, then started to reply to Alagina’s question, saying,
"Cough cough... It is like this, according to the research we have, the existent records rarely describe how the glorious Phoenixes met their decline. Even today, you North Realm people still regard them as immortal gods... But the fact is, they once were a mysterious existence that really lived and ultimately disappeared, and the relics in the hands of you and my boss are proof of their real existence. They once were the weapons of two sons of the Phoenix."
Alagina, seemingly enlightened, looked towards Valentina in the wheelchair, who gently pushed open the small wooden box in her hands, revealing the black, half-moon shaped weapon inside.
Unlike Alagina’s Ice Prince, this weapon, even stored within the wooden box, showed no other anomalies, but if one observed closely, one would find a soft glow similar to moonlight occasionally flowing across the blade. The chill that seeped from that glow was in no way inferior to that of the Ice Prince, it was just all contained within the weapon and thus difficult to detect.
When the relic of the Moon Princess revealed its true nature, the tattoo on Alagina’s back became increasingly searing, and an overwhelming coldness unconsciously radiated, as if it were threatening the weapon in Valentina’s arms.
