Chapter 4479 Chapter 4481 [Vedas]
A few days later, Xiang Nan was handling official business in the military camp.
At this moment, he heard a series of hurried footsteps, and then the door was pushed open with a loud bang, and Elizabeth rushed in.
"James, oh, James~ your book is so great, I like it so much, it is the best book I have ever read. You are really a genius, a genius writer!" Elizabeth hugged Xiang Nan's neck and said excitedly.
"Elizabeth, Elizabeth, be reserved, be reserved~" At this time, Governor Weatherby also rushed over, "I'm sorry, James, it's all my fault for spoiling her."
"It doesn't matter, Governor, Elizabeth is the most distinguished guest here. She can go wherever she wants." Xiang Nan said dotingly.
"You will spoil her rotten. A girl should still act like a girl." Wetherby waved her hand and smiled.
"I have always been a girl." Elizabeth said, then looked at Xiang Nan, "James, I still want to read your book, are there any new ones?"
"Not yet. Before I get your approval, I won't rush to create again." Xiang Nan waved his hand.
"James, you are too humble. In my opinion, your talent is even better than Shakespeare." Elizabeth said.
"I'm really honored and scared to hear such praise from you." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Okay, then I will continue to create.
However, please keep it a secret from me. I don't want my subordinates to know that I am writing novels in private. That would make them laugh at me, thinking I lacked masculinity. "
"Don't worry, I will keep it a secret for you." Elizabeth nodded repeatedly, "And I have never thought you lacked manliness. In my eyes, I have never seen anyone more manly than you."
"Uh-huh~" Hearing this, Governor Weatherby couldn't help but cough slightly.
…
After that, Xiang Nan helped Elizabeth write "The Hobbit", "The Lord of the Rings", "The Chronicles of Narnia", "Alice in Wonderland", "The Sherlock Holmes" and so on.
Each novel fascinated Elizabeth and made her more and more appreciative and obsessed with Xiang Nan's talent.
Of course, this is all a story for later.
In addition, due to Xiang Nan's outstanding performance in exterminating pirates, his position was promoted from navy captain to navy lieutenant colonel. In this way, he became a school-level officer and officially entered the ranks of mid-level officers.
…
Two months later, before the polar night arrived, Xiang Nan arrived at the western end of Gamvik Island in northern Norway.
Gamvik Island is an island located in the Arctic Circle. The island is covered with thick ice and snow. When you look up, it is completely white. The earth is white, the mountains and rivers are white, and even the rivers are white.
Xiang Nan came to the west end of the island and waited patiently while reading a book.
He was looking at books brought from the tomb of Alexander the Great.
These books were collected by Alexander the Great from Greece, Egypt, Persia, Central Asia and India. They can be said to be the essence of ancient knowledge of each civilization.
There is some mysterious, powerful and lost knowledge among them.
For example, what he is reading now is the ancient Indian classic "Vedas". It is said that the "Vedas" was left by Brahma, the Indian creator god, and includes many aspects of knowledge such as mythology, witchcraft, medicine, philosophy, music, architecture, etc.
The witchcraft recorded above is very strange. There are incantations that can pray for victory, there are incantations that can make wind and rain, there are incantations that can make men and women fall in love, there are incantations that can curse others to get sick...
The more he watched, the more fascinated he became, completely forgetting the passage of time. I don't know when it started, but the sea breeze began to howl, snowflakes fell, and the temperature quickly dropped to minus 40 or 50 degrees. It can be said that a drop of water turns into ice, and even a fire will freeze.
Xiang Nan relied on his deep inner strength to ignore it and continued to read his book.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a clicking sound coming from under the ice.
Only then did Xiang Nan become alert. He quickly put away his books, hid his body, and looked under the ice. He saw shadowy figures under the ice several meters thick, as if something was moving.
When he took a closer look, he was suddenly surprised.
I saw a dozen tall giants moving under the ice.
The shortest of them is seven or eight meters tall, and the tallest is about twenty meters tall. Standing there, they are taller than the building, which is really scary.
Their entire bodies were blue-white, even their hair was white, and there was no trace of heat in their bodies, as if they were carved from ice.
Their appearance is generally more ferocious, with thick and messy hair on their heads, and their bodies covered with spike-like ice. They look like primitive people, full of wild and violent aura.
"Is this the Frost Giant? It's really terrifying." Xiang Nan couldn't help but sigh when he saw this.
Frost giants are monsters in Norse mythology. Legend has it that they are descendants of Begelmir, the son of the giant Ymir, the creator god. They live in Jotunheim, a place full of rocks, cliffs, and ice.
Frost giants are extremely powerful and can summon ice and snow, so they are very powerful. Even Odin, Thor and other Aesir are afraid of them.
Legend has it that when Ragnarok arrives, the Frost Giants will be the first to attack. The entire land will be covered with ice and snow, without sunshine and warmth. People will suffer unprecedented famine and kill each other in order to compete for the remaining food and firewood.
Then the gods fought in chaos, and all died together. Only a few gods and humans escaped by chance, and then reshaped the entire world.
This shows how powerful the Frost Giant is.
…
Xiang Nan saw those giants walking through the ice and coming up from the bottom of the sea.
Although the ice is several meters thick, even using an icebreaker may not be able to break it, but these giants have no difficulty.
It wasn't the ice they broke open with brute force, but when they approached the ice, the ice automatically cracked open, opening a passage.
When they walked over, the ice closed again.
Xiang Nan noticed that during this process, the tallest giant walking at the front of the team was wearing a transparent wristband that looked like it was made of glass.
The wrist guard could not help but shine brightly, and any ice it struck would automatically crack.
"Is this the frost bracer?" Xiang Nan couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
After the giants arrived on the island, the tallest giant took off the wristband from his hand and placed it on a stone similar to an altar.
Then they knelt on the ground, lowered their heads, and prayed very devoutly.
Their prayers were unclear and Xiang Nan couldn't understand them at all. However, he noticed that while they were praying, a ray of moonlight shone on the wrist guards.
The wristband couldn't help but fluoresce, and after a while, it gradually changed from transparent and colorless to milky white...
Xiang Nan couldn't miss another good opportunity, so he immediately used the Great Shift of the Universe and captured the wrist guard in one fell swoop. He followed him by apparating without hesitation, and returned to Port Royal in an instant.
