Chapter 40 Jade Mountain
There is a lot of information about dwarves in the library, which is a very famous profession. The dwarves are no strangers to Zhang Tong.
The continent has produced many legendary dwarves who not only possess great power, but also outstanding legendary blacksmiths, leaving behind one powerful weapon after another that has been passed down for thousands of years. Dwarves have left heavy ink on the continent more than once, although dwarves do not like contact with the outside world.
"Emerald orders have a high value. Now is not the time to use it. You should put it away first. When the time comes, you can use it again!" Ling Xue returned the jade step to Zhang Tong and said thoughtfully, "I didn't expect Zara to die here, and the ice sword was lost... Now that the Ice King has become a dead man again, the desperate ice field is destined to fall into great chaos. During this time, the wild will be very dangerous, and humans should not go out easily!"
Ling Xue looked at the Glacier Sword several times, and finally returned it to Zhang Tong.
The elves land their ships in the center of the Snow Alliance's sphere of influence. Zhang Tong sent back a message and sent another 500 or 600 goblins from the Dawn Plains. Within a month, the entire spacecraft will be thoroughly understood inside and out, and the structure and functions of the spacecraft will be fully mastered so that it can be put into service as soon as possible.
When they returned to Dawn Village, although the harvest was a little less than expected, there were no casualties, so it was not satisfactory. With a large sum of gold, the Mercenary Alliance will have a very prosperous life in the next month or two.
Zhang Tong found the armband of the leader of the search team among the trophies of Zanla. This is a great achievement. First, he extended the use of the factory, airport, warehouse, and station in Ice Town for a month. As for the others, Zhang Tong was promoted to commander-in-chief of the Ice and Snow Town garrison in exchange for a position in the Snow Alliance.
It's not just a title, it's a person with real power.
Previously, Blood Clan soldiers could not be stationed directly in Dawn Village. When Zhang Tong was given the position of squadron leader, he was qualified to lead a 500-strong Blood Clan army while stationing the army in Dawn Village so that the Blood Clan could protect the safety of the Terran village.
In the blink of an eye, five days passed.
Several camps reach the Desperate Ice Field, and one or two of them join Icetown. Several villages near Dawn Village have also begun to have humans. Mercenaries in each camp have more contact. However, these new forces are clearly much weaker than the three main forces that first reached the ice sheet.
While the different factions have their own specialists and talents, in terms of strength and numbers, the three villages together can barely reach a dawnvillage, a dawnvillage, or a watchmanvillage, which can accommodate at least two or three Dawn villages. As a result, the power gap between ethnic villages is very obvious.
As the population increases, hunting becomes more difficult!
The great potential of the Terrans is limited by the environment, which reduces the growth rate. Since the end of the treasure hunt, the atmosphere on the ice field has become eerie. Instead of going berserk and making crazy moves, Glacier fell silent.
This silence frightened the Snow League.
The frost troll has suffered a huge setback, and it is impossible not to react without any reaction. It's a kind of calm before the storm. The silence of this moment is brewing an even more terrible outburst. The Snow Alliance did not dare to ignore it and was ready to go to war at any time.
Two more days of apparent calm have passed.
On this day, Zhang Tong ate and drank with everyone in the tavern. Because he can't find any prey nearby, and there are trolls in the distance, he is very dangerous. Zhang Tong was too lazy to go out and spent most of his time in the tavern learning to cook or going to the library. The strength hasn't improved much these days, but magic cooking has improved a lot.
"I've invented a new dish, try it!
Zhang Tong brought a large plate with a diameter of one meter to the table.
Du Rongrong shouted, "What a name! Wood is frantically digging for treasure!"
Chen Tingting prepared the napkin knife and said with saliva, "It's okay, open it quickly." Let's see, have fun. That's what really matters!"
Zhang Tong lifted a huge silver lid, and a strong strange smell of meat immediately spread. It's a big plate of meat. Initially, the white meat is cut into pieces or strips. Some are covered with kinto. It is as golden as gold and reflects each other. It looks like a hill of gold and silver bricks. It is embellished with many accessories such as agate and diamonds.
"Bright and beautiful, majestic!" Leng Yun smiled and said softly, "This is really a mercenary treasure. It's a delicious food, made mainly from snow crocodile meat!"
"That's right, it's snow crocodile meat!"
The fat man put a piece of golden meat in his mouth with a knife. Zhang Tong's cooking skills are getting higher and higher. The Snow Crocodile is a lord's monster. Its meat is nutritious, but it is very hard. Snow crocodile meat made by an average chef is like rubber. It can't be chewed. Zhang Tong's cooking skills have reached the extreme. Magical energy permeates each piece of meat, evenly severing muscle fibers, preserving the flavor and making it more delicious without worrying about not being chewed.
"Good! good!"
In front of a table of mercenaries, the "mercenary treasure" was also tasted, and everyone cheered again and again.
Dong Zhan, the dragon soul mercenary, shouted: "The chairman's cooking skills, I think it's not far from the expert level!"
"It's delicious!"
"It's a blessing to be able to work with an employment union!"
"Recently, some villagers want to join the mercenary union!"
The mercenaries of the Dragon Soul conversed and praised them repeatedly. They completely forgot that a few months ago, Dragon Soul and Huang He had an altercation.
"Who's going to entertain you today?"
"It looks like we're in a romantic mood!"
"Little fruit, after eating, you put the food money into the union treasury!"
"Okay!"
Liu Shuiyan, Chen Xiaoguo, Wang Ling and Sun Lin, a group of female mercenaries, also ate with relish.
Zhang Tong is the chairman of the mercenary, but he never puts on a show. Even the mercenaries took care of their own food. Not only the high-ranking officials of the mercenary union, but also some ordinary mercenaries have a chance to eat it.
Food is sometimes a powerful tool for buying people.
The chef was right.
The benefits of magic cooking go far beyond imagination.
Zhang Tong was eating and drinking, when a mercenary came over and said, "Captain Ling Xue is here, I have something to look for you!"
Zhang Tong left the bar. Ling Xue wore a hood and was slender, standing like a painting in the falling snowflakes.
"Can I help you?"
"Get ready, go to the Emerald Mountain tomorrow!"
When Zhang Tong heard this, he was taken aback: "So anxious? Is Bingcheng okay?"
"There won't be a problem now, it's hard to say for a while," Xue Ling said. We get two pieces of information. First of all, Ice King, no... The undead king collected a large number of corpses on the battlefield and resurrected all the corpses into the undead with a strange thing. Another terrorist force will appear on the ice field, full of unknowns. Second, Vaughn healed his wounds with an automatic seal. The Snow King's wounds healed quickly. Once Vaughn crosses the border, Glacier City must take a big step. ”
Zhang Tong nodded heavily: "The ice field is almost calm!"
"That's why we have to hurry. Emerald Mountain has a lot of rare magical beasts and materials. Our strength will be greatly improved in a short period of time. Our mission is to find the dwarves who inhabit the Emerald Mountains and ask them to help open the Ice Sword!"
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away!" Zhang Tong added, "How many people can you bring?"
"£10,000 per person. Xue Ling looked at him, "As long as you can afford it, there is no limit to the quantity!"
Travel expenses are ridiculously expensive.
The mercenary union has just made a windfall, but it can't afford much.
Zhang Tong told everyone about it. Depending on the actual situation, each regiment will give several places, and the travel cost is 20,000 gold coins, of which 10,000 gold coins are paid by themselves, which can be cash or mercenary points. Another 10,000 gold coins will be reimbursed by the Federal Treasury and 5,000 each by the mercenary warehouse.
In the end, between 30 and 40 mercenaries were selected.
The next day, I came to Snow Town.
The Snow Clan is ready to surprise Zhang Tong. Barbarians and djinn also came. By the way, they brought the backbone of the Huaxia Alliance and the Liming Palace. It's a rare training opportunity that no one wants to miss.
Long Hao nodded to Zhang Tong: "We meet again." Thanks to the mercenary union, we will have another interesting adventure. ”
Hundreds of people entered the airport.
Zhang Tong handed over the jade plaque and embedded it on the platform of the boarding gate. People got into the cabin and were transferred to the spaceship. Ten minutes later, the black mysterious spaceship was launched, slowly rising high into the air, turning into a streamer and disappearing into the sky.
The mercenary sat in the cabin for about an hour. The thick clouds outside were gone. The black spaceship entered a new area and looked down from the sky. The earth takes on a dark green color.
The terrain is undulating and mountainous.
Towering trees are often up to 1,000 meters long and are breathtaking.
Despite its proximity to the ice caps of despair, it is a paradise for life compared to the extinct ice caps.
The black spaceship begins to slow down and finally lands at the Forest Aerofield, which is a public airfield with no racial occupations.
"We're running out of time, so we're going to stay for two weeks!" Xue Ling said as he left the ship, "and we're splitting up to make the experience more efficient." An important task of this operation was to find the whereabouts of the dwarves. As he spoke, Xue Ling made several sound scrolls at the leaders of the three Terran troops, "This is a special sound scroll that can be used for the voice of aliens, if there is any information, notify immediately,"
Different races can't form a team, it's difficult to share experiences, and it's unrealistic for Meng Xue to elevate humans.
Terrans must experience themselves.
The crowd walked out of the waiting hall, outside was a lush green, the temperature was about 20 degrees, the air was slightly humid, comfortable and pleasant, stranded on the ice field for nearly a month, suddenly came to Yushan, there was a feeling of entering heaven.
There were no blizzards.
No hail.
No extreme cold.
......
The wind and the sun are beautiful, the birds are singing, the flowers are fragrant, and everything presents a thriving scene that makes people feel comfortable from the bottom of their hearts.
Lin Caiyan took a deep breath: "I like it here!"
"Don't be careless, this is an area higher than the ice sheet of despair!"
