Chapter 55
When Jian Lu and the others walked out of the castle of the dead, they found people snooping in the shadows in the distance, and they understood it after a little thought.
The Castle of the Dead is so famous that people are helpless about it, and everyone who comes in will never return, and over time, no one dares to come, and even the area around the Castle of the Dead has been abandoned from the city of Sardinia. And this time the vision of the castle of the dead was naturally seen, and the sky over the entire castle was dark, and the darkness shrouded the castle after castle, making it impossible to see what was going on inside.
People are always cautious about the unknown because they are afraid, so naturally no one comes to check, and those who are secretly snooping are afraid that they will hesitate to wait and see in their hearts at this time.
Destroying the undead and getting the Staff of Sardinia is also considered to be the completion of the task, Jian Lu and they naturally have no reason to stay, and when the people from Sardinia City came over, the two left as quickly as possible. And Hines's miser nature was committed again, and he rolled up all the valuable things left in the castle, leaving not a single hair for the people who came behind.
Half a day later, they returned to the hotel where they had stayed in Sardinia.
Jian Lu sat on the handmade colored carpet, took the staff of Sardin and studied, and came to a conclusion: it was a magic wand of excellent workmanship, which should be hundreds of years old, and the magic wand used guò to cast magic made the magic more fluid and the speed of casting magic faster.
Magicians all need a magic wand to aid in battle, and Jian Lu is no exception. It's just that over the years, he hasn't found a magic wand that he likes, and over time, he hasn't used a magic wand.
"Do you like it?" Hines saw that he had been playing with him for too long, and thought he should like it.
"It's a good fit." Jian Lu said, "It seems that I have to buy a magic wand as well." ”
At that time, the dry corpse could summon a group of undead to assist in the battle with a wave of the magic wand, obviously the magic wand blessed a lot, and sure enough, there was a magic wand, which was more convenient for the mage's battle. Jian Lu also planned to buy a magic wand when he had time, but he was worried that he would not be able to buy the desirable one, and the desirable one would be sky-high, and he could not afford it.
It's not that there are no good magic wands in the black market, but every time Jian Lu looks at it, he leaves with his glass heart in his hands, and with his current belongings, he can't afford it at all.
"That's for you." Hines said cheerfully.
Jian Lu smiled, thinking that he was really childish, "This is your internship task, you gave it to me, how to hand in the task?" ”
"It's okay, it's a big deal if the task is not completed, and you can come out after escaping in a different space of the school for a month."
Hines said very easily, but Jian Lu was speechless to him, didn't this bear kid know the danger of that alien space in the school? It's even more dangerous than the original gray fog space, people are there, they keep running and fleeing, and they are going to collapse, what kind of punishment is in the other space, it's simply a great malice from the universe.
Jian Lu didn't take his words to heart, and after studying the Staff of Satin, he asked him to put it away, and then took out the news of the Demon Prison that he bought at a high price from the black market and checked it.
The Demon Prison is in the northernmost part of the continent, and I heard that it is in a very harsh environment, where the climate is harsh, there is no grass, and the demonic beasts cannot survive there, it is a barren land. And in this barren land, there is another terrifying and dangerous place, which is the Demon Prison.
To go to the Demon Prison, it will take them half a year to take the fastest Pegasus, in order not to spend all their time on the road, the best thing is to take the teleportation array, first arrive at the city of the Northern Continent, and then go to the Demon Prison, the shortest time it takes to take this road will not be less than a month.
This internship mission of the Castle of the Dead, they got the wealth of the castle owner in the castle, and some people who entered the castle to explore in previous years left, with this wealth, it is enough to pay them to take the teleportation array back and forth, otherwise Jian Lu will have to sell the light scroll to raise money.
After two days' rest in the inn, the two left the city of Sardinia to catch Barcomon in the valley outside the city of Sardinia, which was promised to Hines, and the two worked together to catch twenty Barcomon in one go, and then set off.
Three days later, they arrived at Grant City, the northernmost part of the Northern Continent.
Grant City is not the northernmost city in the Northern Continent, but it is a city with a magical teleportation array in the extreme north, and there will be no teleportation array in the past. However, the journey of a few months, compressed to three days, is actually not bad, and it is not too forceful.
When they arrived in Grant City, Jian Lu and the others naturally found a place to rest first, and then went to taste the food of Grant City, which was very petty bourgeoisie.
When eating a special food called chowder noodle soup in Grant City, Jian Lu still couldn't understand why he and Hines had to taste local specialties every time they went to a place, could it be that the two of them were foodies at heart?
"It's not as good as the noodle soup you make." Hines snorted and ate the hot noodle soup, and said hypocritically.
Although it is only March in places such as the Central Continent, it is winter in the Northern Continent, and the temperature in Grant City is even colder, reaching below freezing. However, even in the summer of the Northern Continent, the temperature in Grant City hovers around zero degrees, especially the farther north it goes, the colder it gets, there are no four seasons at all, only the eternal ice and snow world.
It is also because the weather in Grant City is cold all year round, so it also affects the food culture here, everyone who arrives in Grant City, has to drink a bowl of hot mixed noodle soup, that hot, numb and fragrant taste, instantly out of a white sweat, the whole person is refreshed.
Jian Lu was noncommittal to Hines's words, he drank the noodle soup soup, in fact, he had figured out all the ingredients inside, and felt that this noodle soup was very suitable for winter, and the taste was not bad, maybe he could include it in the recipe. After walking through the two cities, he deeply understood that in fact, the diet in the Olawen continent was not as monotonous as he imagined, but because of different regions and different eating habits, but the staple food was still barbecue and brown bread and the like.
The food culture of this world can also be described in one sentence: cooking skills are not good, ingredients are made up.
The food culture of this world is undoubtedly relatively simple and crude, but the deliciousness of the ingredients makes up for a lot, and many ingredients are not comparable to the high-tech world, which is probably related to the nourishment of magic.
Due to the abundance of time, the two estimated that Grant City had a good rest for three days, and the three days were also to prepare for the northward journey.
First, they prepared something to keep warm. When they came to the Northern Continent from the Central Continent, it could be said that they had gone from spring to winter in an instant, and if it weren't for the warmth charm on their clothes, they would have frozen into dogs. And the warmth spell is not a panacea, in some extremely cold places with special magic magnetic fields, the effect of the warmth spell is not great, especially the warmth charm on their clothes is only rudimentary.
Secondly, they have to prepare their means of transportation. They inquired clearly, to go to the barren land where the Demon Prison is located, at least there is more than a month to walk north, and they can't walk over on two legs, and because of the temperature, not just any Warcraft can go, and they have to find some hardy Warcraft cars.
Finally, as for the route, they also have to plan the route so as not to accidentally get lost in the vast snowy area.
Jian Lu and Hines went to buy cold-resistant clothes, in fact, what they looked at was not the texture of the clothes, but the high-level warmth spells on the clothes.
Then they went to a special place to buy a car, they spent three hundred gold coins to buy a car pulled by a monster that looks like a yak, this monster is called Spencer, it is a very tame and hardy beast, with long hair on its body, thick and powerful limbs, and it is not fast or slow to run, it is about the same as a horse, and it is a kind of monster that people in the Northern Continent like to tame the most for transportation.
The style of the car, unlike the horse-drawn carriage, is more like a snowmobile, with a pulley that is conducive to walking in the snow. The car is actually very simple, but it can only block the wind. For this reason, Jian Lu was very willing to spend money, and bought a piece of Warcraft skin with a painting with a warm spell and spread it on, it was fluffy, and it was warm when people sat there.
Although this car is a little more expensive, many people refused to rent a car for them after hearing that the place where Jian Lu was going was too north, so they had to buy one.
As soon as they were ready, Jian Lu and they set off.
After leaving Grant City, the sky began to snow.
The sky was overcast, the snow was dancing outside, and there was no other creature in the whole world, except for a lone black Spinner silently pulling the snowmobile forward, leaving a trail on the snow, which was soon covered by snow again.
Jian Lu and Hines sat in the car, holding the hand warmer bought from Grant City in their arms, but it was sewn with a special warm stone wrapped in animal skin, each warm stone can be kept warm for three days, and after the temperature is gone, just change to another warm stone, which is a must-have for home travel.
They listened to the sound of the wind and snow whirring outside, monotonous and lonely, and if they were not accompanied by someone, they would all be lost in this harsh and lonely climate.
The snowmobile is not big enough to allow two large men to lie side by side, and then there is no extra space.
"Jane." Hines spoke suddenly.
Jian Lu was bored listening to the sound of the wind and snow outside, and when he heard his voice, he subconsciously turned his head to look at him, and looked at the magnified handsome face.
"What's wrong?" He calmly moved his face a little to the side.
As if he hadn't noticed anything unusual about him, Hines said, "It's getting colder and colder, we haven't met a town for three days, is it closer to our destination?" ”
"Probably so." Jian Lu is not quite sure.
Hines took advantage of the fact that while he was speaking, he approached again without a trace, and when he could feel his breath, he carefully held his breath, for fear that his breath would leak something to teach this person to know, that kind of cautious mood, no one knows except himself.
Jian Lu didn't notice anything, stared at him wide-eyed, suddenly felt something, and was about to jump up, but he didn't expect Hines to move faster, and the two almost collided together. But the next moment, the car didn't know what it was attacked, it skidped, and the two people in the car were also affected, their faces collided together, and it was a coincidence that they collided together in a very ambiguous posture.
At that moment, Hines felt that everything around him was still, and only the warmth of his lips touched.
