Nordic: I Created a Forbidden Land for the Gods

Neil's pupils contracted, and he abruptly looked up at the magnificent light and shadow.

Standing still like a sculpture in an ancient castle, he wore a long robe draped with animal-head bone armor, and his purplish-blue skin gleamed coldly beneath the shawl.

Although it was just a projection and had no physical form, the overwhelming feeling stemming from bloodline and the absolute difference in size were not directly transmitted.

But his eyes were like those of an ancient beast; even without barking or roaring, just seeing his dignity was enough to awe and inspire reverence.

"The most powerful giant on Blizzard Isle, son of Sawyer, the great Ice Lord, King Corin."

"I, a mere mortal, am truly humbled to have the honor of being worthy to be before Your Majesty."

Taking a deep breath, Neil straightened his expression and greeted the light and shadow with a respectful gesture.

Neil wasn't a madman who would unconditionally expel all the giants he saw, and he wouldn't immediately throw out threats and take action. At least he would still maintain a show of courtesy.

Just like when I first talked to Slud.

Although Xie Long directly attacked that time, the opponent was a very clear external enemy, so it cannot be generalized.

Moreover, Neil had heard bards talk about this man's infamous reputation more than once when he was still inland, and the memory was exceptionally vivid.

In the bard's tales, this is a giant who inherits the characteristics of both mountains and frost, a being more terrifying than ordinary gods, capable of crushing a city-state with a single stomp, and whose warhammer is stained with countless divine blood.

In his youth, this giant had already made a name for himself, plundering many divine treasures as a pirate. After that, he disappeared without a trace. When he became famous again in the inland, he had already established a kingdom in the icy sea and become a local lord.

The idea of ​​a pirate nation is far-fetched, but with the numerous treasures he plundered in his early years, Colin built an invincible and terrifying army.

Even in that massive deep-sea battle, they successfully destroyed several divine positions, achieving great results.

Afterwards, they launched several expeditions and won many mythical battles, making a name for themselves and making the Ice Age Kingdom stronger than ever before, which made the Asgardians take them very seriously.

Many people, even the gods, believed that if the Ice Kingdom had not been built in a remote sea area, all the major gods would have immediately taken action to forcefully destroy this giant force.

Neil still remembers that when each bard finished telling these stories, his voice would pause, as if he had witnessed the horror firsthand, and he looked lingering fear.

Colin's beast-like eyes lingered on Neil for half a second before he ignored him and looked back at the small mountain of pirates piled up beside him.

His knowledge of the Evil Dragon Pirates came from his wizard subordinates, who relayed his information to him, revealing that it was a group with great potential.

They even had achievements in that deep-sea battle, so Colin somewhat respected them.

But they never expected to run into trouble on this remote island.

It was the kind of complete annihilation.

This performance disappointed him and surprised him, so he used his subordinate's communication stone to check, and to his surprise, it was indeed true.

"Was it those guys over there who were still fighting the evil dragon captain who killed the evil dragon?"

Colin turned his head and looked to his right.

At this moment, he is a projection and cannot actually perceive energy fluctuations, but he can still determine many things through sound and the flow of surrounding air.

"However, that's the only way to judge it, since it's just a projection and we can't see too many clues."

"We still need to send someone over to take a look in person."

His dignified expression gradually turned serious, his pupils flashed with a cold light, and after a moment of contemplation, the magnificent light and shadow gradually dissipated, indicating that he was about to end the projection directly.

Even if he wanted to recruit the evil dragon, he would wait for the other party to come to him, remaining aloof and not intending to leave his base camp casually.

However, these are extraordinary times, and naval warfare could break out at any moment.

Although Winterfell Island is remote, it is not too far from the Ice Kingdom. He can even use his artifact to barely cover and observe this area.

In such a place, the existence of a suspicious yet powerful figure is far too dangerous.

We must confirm this!

"Great Ice River Lord, are you leaving already?" Neil's heart sank as he watched the light and shadow dissipate, and he immediately tried to stop him.

He could see what the other party was planning, and he knew that if he didn't stop them now, there would definitely be another crisis to come.

Fighting the evil dragon was already tough enough for him; he didn't want to become enemies with an even more powerful giant nation.

Even if the investigation team sent by the Ice River was defeated by his position, there will definitely be an even more powerful one after the first wave.

Only by nipping the trouble in the bud can he have a chance to live a peaceful life!

Despite Neil's words, the dissipation of light and shadow did not stop, clearly indicating that the light and shadow were being ignored.

After all, they were just mortals; it was far too presumptuous of them to expect the giant king to stop.

Neil's lips twitched at the sight, but he quickly assessed the situation, took a deep breath, and spoke again:

"Your Majesty, don't you want to know who betrayed General Paul, the Allied Commander, during the Battle of the Deep Sea?"

He immediately brought up the mythical battle.

This was not a very honorable thing. A general in the giant alliance was betrayed by his own kind, which caused the battle formation to be wrong and gave the enemy god an opportunity to advance.

However, during that advance, the gods also betrayed them, causing chaos in their formation. They not only failed to gain any advantage but also suffered some losses. Therefore, this incident was taboo for both formations. Although all parties knew the general outline, they would not casually bring it up in public.

Therefore, it is impossible for ordinary people to know the truth, so it is just right to use it to prove that one knows certain secrets and is not an ordinary mortal.

Actually, Neil didn't know at first, but Killian had tried to stall for time by bringing up this story.

The captain probably didn't realize that the methods he used to harm Neil were instead used against him.

Sure enough, upon hearing Neil's words, the light and shadow that were fading away suddenly paused.

A beast-like gaze fell on Neil, his expression showing a hint of confusion and surprise, but it eventually returned to its original focus.

Tell me about it.

A deep, authoritative voice echoed out.

Neil nodded and immediately spoke, revealing the secret. He then continued speaking, repeating the rambling tactics that Captain Evil Dragon had used to stall for time.

These words, though seemingly simple for a half-blooded captain, are enough to convey a great deal, especially when spoken by a mere mortal.

"Your Majesty, am I now qualified to offer you advice?"

After finishing speaking, Neil took a breath and smiled.

The giant king opposite him no longer had the same indifferent expression as before, and when he looked at Neil, he seemed to take him more seriously.
