Chapter 314: Ice Flame and Ice and Fire Two Heavens
After five long-distance magical teleportations, we finally reached the edge of the Ice Plateau. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info close to the white ice plateau, although the land is not frozen and there is not much green vegetation. It's so cold that most plants can't survive.
There is only one kind of low redbud tree, with sparse branches that absorb sunlight in the air and grow slowly. In such a cold and barren place, there is also a small village, which is said to be a village, but in fact there are no permanent residents. Some stone domes popped up from the ground, only about two meters high, and a door was opened, and there were no windows.
Pushing open the door and entering inside, there was something else. The area inside is very large, divided into houses, it turns out that the real house here is underground, because of the cold influence of the ice plateau, the land here is very hard, you can build any house you want on the ground. The outer dome is set up for entry and exit, as for why it is made round, because only the dome is the safest and most reliable shape in the wind and snow.
Some of these houses were built by adventurers because they are located on the edge of the Polar Plateau, which is dangerous, but wealth and danger go hand in hand. There are many rare treasures on the Ice Plateau, and there are also many unique magical beasts. Where there is opportunity, there is no shortage of adventurers, and those who come first fall, but there are always a few lucky ones who bring back heavy gold coins. These heavy gold coins are enough to make people forget about the dangers and go to the ice plateau one after another to find their own opportunities.
Let there be a demand, there is no shortage of far-sighted people to invest. They built these underground houses to provide all the services to the adventurers. It is indeed all, fragrant food, red and bright wine, comfortable and soft bed, and if you need a beautiful woman in bed.
Others are magic shops, which provide adventurers with supplies of magical equipment and buy adventurers' harvest. This also earns gold coins by selling, and gold coins are also earned by buying, and the biggest gain is not the adventurers, but these nimble minded merchants.
In a spacious underground house, it is the largest magic shop, the largest adventurer's paradise, and the most luxurious gold cave. It's just that no one knows that this is also a secret stronghold of the Shadows, because there is a hidden exit here, and that is the most secret place.
From the owner's bedroom at Adventurerland, enter an underground building that is not visible from the outside through a secret door. These underground structures are the base of the Night. At this time, in the best room in the base, the Xueyi people and Xiang Xuehai, as well as the dark night, were in charge of this base, discussing things together.
Dark Night said: "Lord Snowcoat, this is already the edge of the Ice Plateau, I will wait here for you to come back." ”
The snow-clothed man looked at the furnishings in the room and felt very satisfied: "After days of magic teleportation, we are also a little tired, and we need to rest here for two days." Just prepare food and drink for us, and prepare some dry food for us, so that we can be prepared. I don't need to say anything about other things, such as confidentiality. ”
Dark Night took the base and quit responsibly to prepare food for them. It's on the edge of a desolate ice plateau, but there's no shortage of food for the adventurous. Although the adventurers are for the gold, it is more accurate to eat, drink and be merry. Therefore, although the adventurer earns a lot of money, the adventurer is always poor. Because they live between life and death all day long, they will enjoy life more.
Ice berries, the raw material of the famous ice berry red wine on the Blood Moon Continent, are from the Ice Pole Plateau. However, they are all picked by adventurers from the outer periphery of the ice plateau, as for the depths, is there any? There must be, because someone once went a thousand miles into the ice plateau and picked a better grade ice berry. According to this inference, perhaps in the center of the Ice Plateau, there is the purest ice berry, but unfortunately, no one can prove it, and no one dares to prove it, because there is no such strength.
There is also a unique magical beast on the Ice Pole Plateau, the one-horned ice sheep, and their strength is not very good. The adult one-horned ice sheep is just a third-level demonic beast, and the ice attribute of the third-level demonic beast still has a way to resist it. The meat of the unicorn ice sheep is fat but not greasy, the meat is fresh and tender, and it is a supreme delicacy when made into a barbecue.
Later, I didn't know if it was the foodie who discovered a new way to eat by coincidence. The unicorn ice sheep is cut into pieces, turned into water with ice from the polar plateau, and boiled with many kinds of seasonings. When the meat of the unicorn ice sheep is cooked, add the blood like the unicorn ice sheep, and a pot of delicious food will be made. And you can sit around the pot, eat steaming one-horned ice sheep, drink ice berry red wine, hehe, you have to always be leisurely, don't accidentally swallow your tongue.
Later, the chef improved this way of eating, and it is said that it has become a signature dish here with the addition of precious ingredients. The signature dish has to have a well-known name, and it is said that the magician was full of praise after eating it, and gave it the name "Nanbing Sheep". Because of the name of this dish, the place name of this gathering place has also been called Nanbing Sheep, and the original name has disappeared in the long river of history.
As for the ice berry red wine, it is also made locally. Located on the edge of the Ice Plateau, close to the origin of ice berries, buy the ice berries collected by adventurers and sell them to the Blood Moon Continent. Then take the red wine made from ice berries to the edge of the ice plateau and sell it to adventurers, this kind of thankless tossing back and forth, a merchant will not do.
The trick of the merchant is to take local materials and make the finished product back to you, so as to make the maximum profit, and even save the cost of transportation back and forth. What's more, brewing red wine is not a monopoly industry, and there are more people brewing red wine on the Blood Moon Continent. It's nothing more than the red wine that each person brews, and the taste is different.
Not to mention, the red wine brewed on the edge of the ice polar plateau, I don't know if it is because of the cold climate, or because it is the ice that does not melt on the ice of the ice pole plateau for thousands of years, the red wine brewed has a mellow taste, and the red and bright red wine is like a burning flame, but there is a kind of chill in this flame, like the cold of the ice pole plateau, which is unforgettable.
The fusion of ice and fire, the ice dancing in the flames, has become a unique taste in the Blood Moon Continent, and it is very popular with the nobles. When the nobles of the Blood Moon Continent entertained them, they were proud to have this red wine. Naturally, such a good red wine needs a good name, and soon it has an elegant name "Ice Flame". The name is good, a fusion of ice and fire, but adventurers don't buy it. Adventurers prefer to call it "Ice and Fire", how direct and how straightforward.
Since then, the red wine of the Ice Pole Plateau has had two names, the ice flame at the aristocratic banquet, and the ice and fire in the streets and alleys.
