LAZARUS REGULUS
Chaptre 328. The Eternal Frost Empire.
The Lazarus group was in the snowfield region, seen dozens of corpses of Grand Demon Beast Ice Bear were all around them. If a Legendary realm person single-handedly came to the North region of the South Moonlight Continent, they would die from the weather and attacks of wild Beasts.
"Sebastian, are we close?" Lazarus asked.
"We're almost there." Sebastian answered.
As far as the eye could see there was only a stretch of white snow and ice element plants. The forest filled with ice attribute trees was very beautiful, but within that beauty there were many threatening dangers.
Although the Northern region of the South Moonlight Continent was close to the South Sea and the Western Continent of Zephyra. However the region was extremely dangerous many whirlpools were making shipwrecks, and dozens of medium and high rank Beasts were living there.
People who went to the Southern Moonlight Continent through the sea lane preferred to circle the Eternal Frost ocean. Although it takes 3 times longer, but life is more important than anything.
"Urs, we're very lucky not to have encountered a high rank Beast on the way." Gladius says.
Lazarus thought he would experience many dangers and obstacles on this journey. Yet this journey was very smooth, as if someone had already helped them from behind the shadows.
"Brianna beware!" Lazarus shouting.
Brianna immediately flew away from where she was standing. A giant centipede Beast with a snow-white body and a size of 32 meters came out from the underground Brianna stepped on.
"Legendary Beast Ancient Giant Blue Ice Centipede?" Lazarus looked at the blue centipede.
Lazarus' group surrounded the Beast. When it was only a Legendary Beast, Sebastian and Gladius could defeat it quickly. But Lazarus had not fought with a Beast like this for a long time.
"It seems, he doesn't have any sense." Sebastian says.
"This "Legendary Beast was not a pure-blood Beast that could speak a common language. He was just like a huge Epic Beast." White Fang said.
Lazarus took out Regalia Schyte, then attacked the Legendary Beast Giant Blue Ice Centipede.
"Give this centipede Beast to me. The shell is very expensive on the market." Lazarus smiled broadly as he swung the scythe of Regalia.
3 hours later Lazarus managed to defeat the centipede Legendary Beast with ease. In the past Lazarus had to risk his life to defeat a Legendary Beast, but now he felt an ordinary Legendary Beast especially the ice and fire element was not a balanced opponent.
Lazarus stored the corpse of the Giant Blue Ice Centipede into the Draupnir Ring, then they proceeded to the Eternal Frost Empire.
"Urs, we've reached the Eternal Frost Empire." Sebastian says.
Lazarus was fascinated with the white fortress. The Demons and Dark Beastmen passed around the fortress and the Dark Beastman guards the polar bears guarded the gate.
Lazarus' group went to the gate. All eyes were shocked to see the Beast of Lazarus high rank contract. Ice Fenrir, Ice Hydra, White Dragon, Golden Sun Fenrir and Celestial Five Element Black Wolf were dazzling.
"Master, who are you and are you the Beast Master of these 5 high rank Beasts?" The Dark Beastman guard the polar bear asked as he bowed.
Lazarus took off his bear headscarf and saw a pair of white horns, long snow-white hair and blue eyes as beautiful as sapphire gems.
"Ancient Ice Demon Men!" The Dark Beastman shouted.
Everyone swarmed the Lazarus group, in the South Moonlight Continent only Demon Emperor Laufey was the only Ancient Ice Demon man.
"My name is Urs, I want to meet Demon Emperor Laufey." Lazarus says.
Deviela walked beside Lazarus while carrying Arion. He then undid his robe of a beautiful, blonde-haired Demon woman, blue eyes and white-colored horns looking incompatible to be beside Lazarus. Sebastian, Brianna, Gladius and Cruel also opened the cloak that covered their faces.
"Prince Sebastian, Princess Deviela, Princess Brianna, Lord Gladius and Young Master Cruel!" Someone shouted.
All who heard the name immediately departed and gave way to the group of Lazarus.
A guard ran into the gate, a moment later a beautiful woman of the Demo race with short hair as white as snow and green eyes came while riding a Legendary Beast Blue Ice Fenrir with one eye injured.
Aurora wears a light white armor that shows her muscular hands, stomach and thighs.
"Aurora hasn't seen each other in a long time." Sebastian smiled broadly.
"Bag, don't you remember when I cut off one hand and one leg?" Aurora descended from the Blue Ice Fenrir's back, then walked towards Lazarus.
"Aurora, we just want to escort Urs to meet Demon Emperor Laufey." Deviela smile.
Aurora glanced at Lazarus very carefully, she then looked at Lazarus face.
"You are indeed an Ancient Ice Demon and have a bloodline higher than mine! Where are you from, are you from Planet Arcturus?" Aurora asked.
"Greetings Miss Aurora, my name is Grand Duke Lazarus Regulus. People could call me Urs The North and I was a human who happened to be endowed with a Demon Transformation Skill. I am the granddaughter of White Night Witch Elsa and my purpose in coming here is to meet my Grandpa Buyut Demon Emperor Laufey." Lazarus smiled brightly.
"Wait, what's your relationship with Deviela and who's the baby in her cradle?" Aurora asked.
"Deviela is my wife and that baby is my son Arion. He did not inherit the bloodline of the Ancient Ice Demon, but he inherited his mother's bloodline." Lazarus answered.
"Come with me. I'll take you all in front of Grandpa." Aurora said, then climbed onto the back of the young Legendary Beast Blue Ice Fenrir.
"Is your Fenrir female?" Lazarus asked.
"His name is Blue Claws, he's my best friend." Aurora replied as she glanced at all the Beast contracts of Lazarus.
"How much is Grandpa Laufey's wife?" Lazarus asked.
"Grandfather has 36 wives, 9 children, 72 grandchildren and 200 great-grandchildren when counted with you. The son, grandson and great-grandson of Grandpa Laufey who inherited the Ancient Ice Demon bloodline are all women and I am the seventh grandson." Aurora answered.
Lazarus swallowed his saliva. He was now regretting visiting Demon Emperor Laufey. His instincts said to return because he already knew that he was the only man who inherited the bloodline of the Ancient Ice Demon and according to the rules he was the rightful heir to the throne of the Eternal Frost Empire.
"Grooooaaar!" A light blue scaly White Dragon Variant like ice crystals flew towards the Lazarus group.
"Snow Song, was the male Guardian Beast Blue Ice Dragon of the Eternal Frost Empire. He was a contract Beast belonging to Grandfather, now he had already broken through to the Mythical Beast realm. It seems that he went here because he sensed the presence of your White Dragon Beast." Aurora says.
Snow Song landed in front of the Lazarus group, he was not aggressive and only watched Aneira with sparkling eyes.
"Miss, I've never seen a very beautiful female Dragon like you." Snow Song said.
Snow Song was the most beautiful and handsome Beast Dragon Lazarus had ever seen. In fact he has 6 syllables names and was born as a rare Sub Species Variant.
Aneira let out the scent of Asterion from her body. That scent can only be kissed by a Beast and cannot be kissed by a human nose.
"Do you have a partner?" Snow Song widened his eyes.
"My name is White Dragon Aneira and Black Dragon Asterion is my partner." Aneira answered.
"The great goddess Tiamat! Why are you so unfair to me, I just first felt love and you made it wither in a matter of minutes!" Snow Song wailed heartily.
Lazarus looked towards Aurora.
"Urs, many wild female White Dragons wanted to become Snow Song's match. But Snow Song is a very picky stud." Aurora smile.
"Laufey?" Snow Song asked.
"My name is Urs, Master of Aneira and the others." Lazarus answered.
"I understand and as a true male White Dragon. I won't take another male Dragon pair." Snow Song said.
Snow Song guided the Lazarus group to the Eternal Frost Imperial Palace. Snow Song was a White Dragon who considered the humanoid race other than Demon Emperor Laufey to be merely a low rank Beast. However, he was very close to Lazarus and the Beast as if he were a friend.
"Urs, who are you?" inner Aurora.
They arrived at the Eternal Frost Imperial Palace. The servants welcomed Lazarus' arrival, then the Beasts were guided to the grounds of the Eternal Frost Imperial Palace Castle to rest.
Aurora guided the Lazarus group away to the meeting room of the Eternal Frost Imperial Palace. They saw a magnificent white room with many calligraphy carvings.
Seen as a black-haired man with a purple gradation sitting on the right seat, he was Julian and hundreds of white-haired Ancient Demon race women were sitting on that room chair.
A handsome Ancient Ice Demon race man, long white-haired, pointy nose and crystal-blue eyes sat on the majestic throne. The 12 Demon race women sat on his right and left side, they were the 12 surviving wives of Demon Emperor Laufey.
Lazarus, Aurora and Deviela immediately knelt down, while Sebastian, Brianna, Cruel and Gladius bowed.
"Are you my great-grandson?" Demon Emperor Laufey asked as he let out an aura of intimidation.
"Grandfather, my name is Grand Duke Lazarus Regulus. People call me Urs The North, I am the Son of Arka Boreas who is the son of Queen Mother Agatha Boreas who is your third daughter Elsa Eternal Frost." Lazarus answered.
"Sit down, you must be tired from the long journey." Demon Emperor Laufey said.
Deviela and the others went to the prepared seats. But Lazarus remained on his knees before Demon Emperor Laufey.
"My son Urs, why don't you sit with them?" Demon Emperor Laufey asked.
Everyone was shocked because the extremely cold Demon Emperor Laufey called Urs Son not his great-grandson. But the Empress and the 11th Wife of Demon Emperor Laufey smiled, had not Demon Emperor Laufey indirectly already told everyone that Urs was his heir.
Lazarus released many Material Beasts, Epic Rank Artifacts, 3 Legendary Rank Weapon Artifacts, Legendary Moonlight Jade Rank, Rare Rank Unique and Epic Herbs, Golden Sun Jade, 50 Tong Snow Flower Wine, and more, 300 Bottles of Wine of various types and ages.
Lazarus prostrated himself, then took out a wooden box.
"Are you going to give me the gift of the wooden box?" Demon Emperor Laufey said coldly.
"Grandfather, this is a gift for you. I got it by chance and hopefully you can live longer by eating this herb." Lazarus answered with a serious expression.
The herbs that were in this box were his most precious treasures. As valuable as the Eternal Blue Lily Rank Void, the 5 herbs that White Fang and Ignis accidentally discovered at the top of the snowy Arsen Mountains.
Even in nature above this herb is very valuable especially for someone who has an ice affinity element. Lazarus planned to give it to Galan, Agatha, Alcander and Demon Emperor Laufey.
Everyone was curious about the herbs that were inside the wooden box. They were already shocked by the Material Beast, Material, Artifacts, Herbs, Wine and Potions that Lazarus had given them. You could say all of those items were worth 20 years of tax payments of the Eternal Frost Empire, even more.
"Well, go out here and hand it over to me." Demon Emperor Laufey said in a cold voice. His face looked like an ice sculpture carved by the Gods. He was even more handsome than Lazarus and Adonis.
Lazarus climbed the steps, towards the throne of Laufey. He felt his legs very heavy every time he climbed 1 rung of stairs. Laufey has a level 97, but his aura is stronger than Adonis, Reese and everyone he's ever met.
Lazarus gave the wooden box to Demon Emperor Laufey, then Laufey opened the box. Where the ice element churned when Laufey opened the box slightly and when he opened the box the room froze as mana came out of the box.
A shiny blue Lily flower like ice crystals looks very beautiful.
"Eternal Frost Lily Rank Void!" Empress Adelina shouted.
Laufey stared at the Eternal Frost Lily Rank Void herb with a cold gaze, then chewed on it with an expressionless face. Lazarus and everyone were shocked to see the flat expression of Demon Emperor Laufey. When Agathias is given such a gift, he will surely dance with joy.
Gladius widened his eyes until his eyeballs wanted to pop out upon seeing Demon Emperor Laufey, eating the precious Eternal Frost Lily with a flat expression. Even on Planet Auriga people would fight to the death to fight over it.
"Thank you, I happen to need it the most." Laufey says.
Lazarus bowed, then went to the seat beside Deviela.
"Grs." Arion says.
Lazarus was holding Arion as if nothing had happened, while Deviela stared intently at Lazarus. Julian who was behind Lazarus sat frozen with his mouth forming the letter O.
"The waiters serve the most delicious food to all of them. I have a task to complete and I'll be right back here." Demon Emperor Laufey stepped out of the meeting room, then the Empress and her 11 wives followed Demon Emperor Laufey.
"Urs, are you scared?" Deviela asked.
"I can't figure out what's on Grandpa's mind." Lazarus answered.
"Urs, can you tell me where you got the herbs from?" Deviela asked.
"I'll tell you everything." Lazarus answered.
...****************...
In the Courtyard of the Eternal Frost Imperial Palace, Demon Emperor Laufey attempted to absorb the Eternal Frost Lily Rank Void herbs.
"Laufey, are herbs real?"
"Be quiet! You know that this herb is genuine, other than treating my internal injuries. My level also increased by 2 levels, now I have level 99 equal to Reese and Adonis." Demon Emperor Laufey replied.
"You could have lived a very long time and now we have to go back to the meeting room."
"I'm very interested in my great-grandson Urs, but I can't say it straight away because my body is suddenly frozen." Laufey says.
"Sufuku. You are indeed a very stiff man, calm down Urs will surely understand sooner or later and you must give something valuable to pay Urs."
"Urs will refuse, if it should become the Emperor of the Eternal Frost Empire. He would definitely reject a Mythical Rank Artifact because it already had 4 Mythical Rank Artifacts. I have nothing to give to Urs, even he is richer than me!"
"Nature Treasure Black Ice Heart Rank Legendary." Empress says.
"Although the Nature Treasure Black Ice Heart Rank Legendary was as rare as the Eternal Frost Lily Rank Void. But according to the Rank the value of the Eternal Frost Lily was higher than the Nature Treasure Black Ice Heart." Laufey answered.
"You shouldn't have absorbed the Nature Treasure Black Ice Heart Rank Mythical at that moment. But that's the only valuable item you can give Urs." Empress says.
"Alright, I'll give the Nature Treasure Black Ice Heart Rank Legendary and bring Urs to the storage warehouse of the Eternal Frost Imperial Treasure to handpick the prize." Laufey answered.
All the women there touched his forehead. "Stupid, in the Eternal Frost Empire's Treasure Storage warehouse there isn't anything valuable! Urs will definitely refuse if it is awarded several hundred Platinum Coins."
"Sad.. Let him choose Mythical Rank Artifacts or Gold Coins, Platinum Coins, Castles, Regions, Subordinates or whatever he wants!" Demon Emperor Laufey shouted.
"We agree."
