Chapter 906 Beidi Ice City
For ordinary adventurers, moving forward in the North is a very painful thing, with continuous snowstorms, waist-deep snow, and biting cold. This does not include the dragons flying everywhere, and the demons who are likely to "refresh" in front of you occasionally.
In fact, if you walk on the road, you are likely to see an adventurer who has been frozen to death somewhere.
But fortunately, Duanmu Huai doesn’t need to be used.
“Hu———”
The bitter cold wind blew, while Duanmu Huai didn''t care at all, but just drove the jet pack to fly forward. His whole body was wrapped in power armor. This thing can be used as you wish even in cosmic warfare, let alone the cold wind. As for the true mechanic who was lying on Duanmu Huai, he was also wearing cosmic combat armor from Xinglian, and there was no such thing as coldness when completely closed.
The only thing that needs to avoid the cold is Aojis - but at this moment the little girl went into a state of sleep, completely isolated from the outside world.
After all, Aojis''s body is a doll, and he doesn''t care about this little thing.
"This ghost place is really boring. It''s not just snowing. Oh, fortunately I don''t need to sweep the snow, otherwise I''ll be so annoyed."
While flying in the sky, Duanmu Huai complained boredly. It’s like when I was in my hometown, people in the south like snow, but for people in the north, they are so annoying that they get when they are snowing. Not only did I go to school to sweep the snow the next day, but the road was slid very much. It was boring to think about it, and I wouldn''t be so excited about the snow like the southerners.
"Ah, big brother, there seems to be a cave in front of you."
At this moment, Zhen Jiling, who was lying on Duanmuhuai''s shoulder, reached out and pointed forward. Looking in the direction of her finger, she could indeed see a cave near the cliff below in the snow.
It seems that there are still people?
“Anyway, go and have a look.”
As he spoke, Duanmu Huai adjusted his direction and flew towards the cave. Then he lowered the height and fell from the sky...
"Swoosh!"
However, before Duanmuhuai landed on the ground, several arrows suddenly appeared from below and shot towards Duanmuhuai. These arrows hit Duanmu Huai''s helmet and then bounced away quickly. At the same time, Duanmu Huai also landed in front of the cave like a stone.
“………”
There was a dead silence around. Duanmuhuai shook his head, then turned his head and looked to the side.
"What''s the meaning?"
"It seems that it''s not a demon."
Hearing Duanmuhuai''s voice, soon, on a tree next to the entrance of the cave, a man wearing a white cloak and holding a long bow jumped down and carefully looked at Duanmuhuai and the Aoji Si on his shoulders and the real skill.
“You are humans.”
"This is nothing, are you watching us grow horns?"
"Too."
The other party seemed very calm.
"It''s just that you flew over from the sky, so you scared us. Is this some kind of magic?"
"It''s flying with this thing."
Duanmu Huai pointed to the jet backpack behind him, and the latter nodded as if he suddenly realized his head.
"I see."
“…………”
“…………”
For a moment, both sides fell into silence.
"So, can I get in?"
"Of course, you are also an adventurer."
The man jumped up and walked on the snow-covered surface-the thickness of the snow was enough to reach his waist, but he stood on the snow.
Well, maybe it is some strange magic.
Along the way, Duanmu Huai has seen many similar magics. Not to mention the human magic system, there are many strange magics.
For example, the magic of cleaning tableware, the magic of removing mold, the magic of removing oil stains, the magic of expelling mosquitoes... Don’t say, these strange tricks are quite useful.
Grandma’s home tips, right?
I guess this is also a kind of thing.
“Where is this place?”
While following the archer to the cave, Duanmuhuai asked questions.
"I thought all humans outside the North were killed by the demons."
“Just as you think.”
Hearing Duanmuhuai''s inquiry, the archer spoke without looking back.
"We are not residents here. In fact, we are adventurers who come to fight against the Demon King."
At this moment, Duanmu Huai and others also followed the archers into the cave.
The dark cave looked ordinary and even very dark. However, the archer only took a few steps and then turned around. Duanmuhuai saw that there was actually a road next to the cave, but the passage was blocked by the mountain wall outside. If you just take a casual look, you would probably never have imagined that there was such a road inside.
"Oh, this is really..."
It is the so-called "I am extremely narrow at the beginning, but I can understand people. I will walk dozens of steps and suddenly become enlightened."
However, what is here is not a peach blossom land, but a huge void. In the void, there are many buildings, which look like an underground city. At this moment, there are crowds coming and going everywhere, including men and women, and almost everyone is dressed up by adventurers.
“How many people are there here?”
“About three hundred.”
The archer answered.
"We all came here to fight against the Demon King, but because the wind and snow were too strong, we could only stay here - this should have been the residence of the Dwarf clan before, but the original residents should have been killed by the Demon clan a long time ago. Fortunately, their buildings are still kept and can be used."
"How long do you plan to stay here?"
"At least, you have to wait until the blizzard stops."
The archer shrugged his shoulders.
“It will take at least several months.”
“………………………How long have you been here?”
"It''s about six months. The Northland is different from other places. The weather is suitable for traveling in only two months a year. Going out at other times is equivalent to dying. We all take advantage of the two months to enter the Northland, and then find it and wait until the next two months, and we will go out again and strive to enter the Demon King City during this period. Otherwise, if we are not killed by the Demon King, we will be frozen to death outside."
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai was completely speechless.
"I thought the adventurers who attacked the Demon King would face difficulties without fear of hardships."
"That depends on the situation. The Demon King has existed for a thousand years, and there is no shortage of this time, right? It''s okay to die in the battle with the Demons, but if you die in the blizzard, you can''t do anything."
"So you don''t know, is Paretia''s attack on the Northland Fortress?"
"Is there such a thing?"
Hearing this, the archer looked at Duanmu Huai in surprise.
"Did they succeed?"
"I failed. Now I am slipping back to the royal city with my tail between my legs. Because something happened, I might not even be able to keep the royal city."
“That’s how…”
Hearing Duanmuhuai''s answer, the archer sighed, but he had no special thoughts.
"What a pity. If Paretia succeeds, maybe she can support us. Now it seems that she won''t think about it."
"You guys are really... calm."
Looking at the adventurers back and forth on the street, Duanmuhuai also felt fresh. At least from the surface, people here seem to enjoy the days here. From time to time, people talk and laugh, and people chase and fight, and even see old people setting up stalls next to them...
Setting up a stall?
"The history of this city has been around a hundred years. I don''t know which adventurers discovered it at the beginning. In short, some adventurers chose to continue to go to the Demon King City to attack the Demon King, and some adventurers stayed to serve the latecomers, so the city still looks like that now."
While speaking, the archer brought Duanmuhuai and others to a relatively majestic stone building.
"This is the city''s municipal center. Because everyone here is adventurers, the currency itself has no meaning here. If you want to earn food and supplies, you also need to work hard. As long as you can take over the commission here and complete it, you can get the corresponding contribution points, and these points can be used to buy supplies or rent a room to rest, then I will go back and continue working."
After saying this, the archer greeted the guards outside, and then turned around and left.
At this time, the real skill, who was lying on Duanmuhuai''s shoulder, also poked out his head curiously.
"Big brother, this city is really interesting."
“Indeed, this place is really interesting.”
Duanmuhuai nodded and then walked into the building in front of him.
As the archer said, it looked like a municipal hall. In the empty hall, there was a circle of stone counters, with a counter lady standing behind it, and a group of adventurers in front.
Since there is no placing machine here, there should be no registration required.
Duanmuhuai walked straight to one of the uninhabited counters. When he saw Duanmuhuai''s arrival, the girl behind the counter immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Hello, you guys, welcome, adventurer... have you just come to this city?"
“Yes, we all came to this city.”
Duanmu Huai pointed at himself, and then pointed at Zhen Jiling and Ao Jisi.
"Can you see it?"
"Of course, this is not the time when adventurers enter the Northland. Generally speaking, adventurers will have to reach the snow-fill period a few months later..."
Speaking of which, the archer said the same thing before, wait, according to this statement, that is, the guards at the city gate did not allow themselves to go out because they were not yet able to safely enter the North?
Will you die if you explain it clearly?
Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes helplessly, but forget it, it was here at least, right?
Since that''s the case, let him see what kind of city it is.
