Chapter 1342 Visiting The Fire Giant Village

?

It seemed he had no idea that such a thing happened. It seemed that he hadn't explored this place past this huge mountain, this young fire dragon had a lot to explore and learn in this vast world.

"Well, we can talk more about this once we get back to the surface." I said. "Let's go."

"R-Right." Surtr nodded.

We swiftly moved across several stairs leading up from the depths of the mountain, until we reached the area where the Fire Giant Village was located, once Surtr appeared, the guards became excited.

"I-It's Surtr!"

"And Nadia and Mina!"

"They're back!"

With so many screams, in no time, everyone in the village learned they were back. And with Surtr's and the twins authority over the whole village, we were easily welcomed in. Although everyone was curious about what we were.

"W-Who are those people?"

"Is that a walking mushroom?"

"W-Wait, are those the ancient Myconid people we've heard of before?"

"But who are those blue skinned people?"

"Hello everyone, we're back… A lot happened, but thanks to the people we found along the way, we were able to stop a malign being from destroying the mountain… It trembled a lot, but things should stabilize by now." Surtr said while feeling slightly nervous. "And… well, these are…"

"My name is Drake, I am the Dragon King." I said, as I also introduced the rest of my family. "I came here because I received a special premonition from the Yggdrasil Tree itself, to come to the aid of this village, and of the young Surtr here. The Guardian of the Mountain's threat might have been stabilized, but an even greater threat is slowly coming here. I'll go on details tomorrow, but I hope that I can be allowed to stay here."

"H-He's saying the truth, he's actually the Dragon King. He's on a similar form than mine right now." Said Surtr. "He came from the Jotunheim Continent, his family here are Ice Giants, they're similar to Fire Giants."

"I-Ice Giants?!"

"This is the first time we see them!"

"So the rumored giants that govern ice are real?!"

"Incredible… I never thought such a thing was true…"

"So beyond these blazing lands, is it true that there are cold lands we couldn't be able to survive?!"

"Wait! He's the King of all Dragons?!"

"Surtr said so…"

"I still have my doubts…"

"Come on you guys, they saved our lives!" Nadia sighed.

"Geez, I guess it won't be easy- Huh?" Mina wondered.

"Hey, wanna play?"

"Your hair is so pretty!"

Suddenly, a group of fire giant girls approached my daughters, and started acting friendly. I guess while the adults were concerned, the children were much more lax, mostly due to their lack of experience in life, so they ended up trusting us right away.

"Okay!" Benladra smiled.

"Your hair is pretty too." Kate smiled.

"Let's play catch!"

"Yeah, yeah! I've never played catch with ice giants before!"

"Sure! I'll catch you!" Benladra started flying with her little wings.

"Wow you can fly?!"

"Crazy!"

"I'll catch you! Hehehe!" Benladra started playing along, Kate joined as well.

Seeing how the kids started running around the village carefreely, the rest of the fire giants seemed slightly more relaxed. Some sighed and let it be, while others smiled a bit.

"Well if the kids approve of them, then maybe its fine."

"It was a bit surprising, but I hope they can help us out…"

"Should we celebrate with a feast, chief?" A young fire giant warrior approached Surtr.

"Sure! Sounds good! We've brought some meat from monsters down below!" Surtr touched a ring he had, which worked as a mini inventory, and retrieved several huge monsters we caught in the way, such as Giant Fire Salamanders, Blazing Grizzlies, and even Lava Fish.

He said they were all unique delicacies of this continent's unique monsters, so I decided to give them a try while bringing out my own ingredients too.

"Ooooh! So much food!"

"We'll have a big feast then!"

"Leave the butchering to us!"

"Oh, then let me join as well! I've brought some food from the places I've visited! Seafood from the Archipelago of Aquarius, where the Mermen Tribe live! And also, giant frost beasts from Jotunheim!" I said, quickly bringing out a lot of food I had saved in my Inventory, mostly raw ingredients. "Also, of course, many different vegetables, drinks, and fruits!"

A pile of food was summoned at the side of Surtr's. I made sure it was slightly smaller, so it wouldn't make it look like he brought less. The people was quickly enchanted.

"Amazing! He's not that bad then!"

"Food from other continents?!"

"And where's this archipelago?!"

"Hey uncle! You saw Mermaids?!"

"How do they look?"

"Is Jotunheimr always cold and icy?"

"Are there more ice giants in that place?"

Another group of kids approached us, beginning to ask us about the wide world out there. It was honestly quite endearing.

"Hahaha! Well, if you want to learn about it, then come around here! While I cook, I'll narrate everything we've gone through and everything we've seen! You see, the world out there is big and amazing!" I laughed. "Every time we visit a new place, we're always left in awe… This world is so huge, much bigger than this whole mountain!"

"Woooaaah…"

"T-That big?!"

"Really?"

"Indeed." Benladann giggled. "Green and lively jungles, frozen tundra, colorful fruits, beautiful port towns filled with all kinds of people living together in harmony, a paradise in an archipelago filled with fish-like people, the wide, blue oceans with beautiful coral reefs and mighty sea beasts!"

"Ooooohhh!"

Even the adults started gathering around as we talked, while I quickly started cooking using my special Divine Cooking Arts, to show off and make a nice spectacle.

The best way to get people's trust is by filling their bellies with the tastiest food they've ever eaten, and I am not going to hold back now that there are so many new ingredients available either!

"Alright! Leave the cooking to me!" I laughed. "[Spirit Creation]: [Cooking Utensils Spirits]!"

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

Hundreds of cooking spirits were summoned one after another, floating around and amazing everybody, even Surtr and his party.
