With the howling winds of the Far North sweeping across the land, Icewind Dale and the Ten Towns have finally officially declared a terrible winter.

Unlike most people understand winter, the winter here has strictly exceeded the limit of human tolerance, and the coldest days can even reach more than minus 60 degrees Celsius, and the daylight lasts for a very short time, even a week or two of polar nights, and there is no sunshine at all.

In such a harsh environment, except for those creatures that have evolved a special constitution in a cold environment, any outdoor activity is basically equivalent to suicide.

So the only thing the residents of the Ten Towns can do is to hide in their homes and enjoy the dried fish and bacon caught and dried in the summer, and by the way, light the fuel mixed with herbivore feces to heat up.

Despite the devastating losses of the inhabitants of Icewind Dale, who had to survive the brutal winter by severely limiting rations, they survived and did not have to live with pesky barbarians.

Due to Zhang Cheng's intervention, although Wolfga still used his strong force to persuade some of his clans to rush to support, the number was less than 200.

In addition, by the time they arrived, the war had already ended, so they failed to gain the approval of the residents of Ten Towns, and finally had to choose to leave in disgrace.

Unbeknownst to the barbarians, an incomparably powerful army was rapidly sweeping across the frozen wasteland under the cover of a cold wind, and it wouldn't be long before they too became one of the targets of conquest.

At that time, you will either choose to surrender or be slaughtered, and there will never be a third situation.

......

As the mastermind behind all this, Zhang Cheng is now lying in the best house in the Ten Towns in human form, eating a rather sumptuous dinner while flipping through the spell book that originally belonged to the "Red Wizard" Mo Kai.

After more than half a month of study and research, he has completed the study of the basic theory part, and yesterday he took the time to crack the protective magic blessed on it, and began to explore the unique spell-casting techniques of the Faren Continent, so as to transform his mage career template into the spell-casting level of this world.

Of course, before that, he needs to complete the netting first.

Through the descriptions in the basic textbook, he already understood that although the goddess of magic controlled the magic web, she would not casually prohibit someone from using the magic web, even if the other party was the goddess's enemy.

This also means that except for attacking the goddess herself, there is no need to worry about being banned from touching the net.

Just as Zhang Cheng was engrossed in interpreting the wonderful spells in the magic book, the closed door was suddenly pushed open, followed by a figure walking in with a biting cold wind.

He first closed the door again, then shook the snow off his cloak, put a huge elk on the ground, and bowed gracefully with one hand on his chest: "Good evening, Your Excellency, I have brought you fresh meat." If you're tired of dried fish and cured meat, you'll be happy to change the taste. ”

"Thank you, but I'm afraid this kind of weather is quite uncomfortable for the dark elves, right?, but why do you go out hunting every once in a while to bring me fresh food?" Zhang Cheng asked meaningfully, touching his chin.

Ever since he moved into Bryn Sander, Trist has visited every few days, delivering elk, rabbits, and fresh fish, no matter how bad the weather.

Ordinary people may think that the Dark Elf Ranger is here to show gratitude, but he knows very well that this is actually a disguised form of surveillance and distrust.

After all, his current identity is a terrifying dragon, a monster that can easily plunge an entire town into a sea of fire, so it's normal to be on guard.

"I just hope you don't get mad at being dissatisfied with the food. Plus, I've been on the surface for a long time, and I'm pretty much used to the harsh climate here. With that, Trist took two steps back and let the servant carry the heavy elk into the back kitchen.

In order to appease Zhang Cheng, the leader of Bryn Sander, Cassius, not only gave up his residence, but also specially arranged two maids and two male servants to take care of his daily life.

So in a few moments, the servants finished processing the whole elk and brought the steaming stew and bone broth to the table.

"Let's have a bite to eat. Zhang Cheng pushed one of the meat plates and soup bowls forward.

"Thank you very much. ”

Trist didn't refuse, sat down generously, picked up the bowl and carefully sipped the hot bone broth, and warmed up his body frozen by the cold wind in a few bites.

But his attention was obviously not on the food, but instead looked at the other party out of the corner of his eye, and after about three or five minutes, he pretended to ask casually, "Your Excellency, are you studying magic?"

"Yes, I'm interested in magic. If you have a book or note, I'd be willing to exchange it for something equivalent. Zhang Cheng replied in the affirmative without thinking.

"I don't understand, you're already an awesome and powerful being, why do you need to learn magic?" the dark elf looked puzzled.

In his memory, dragons were supposed to be lazy and arrogant, and most dragons would rather lie down on their treasures and fall asleep than leave their lair and enter the human world, let alone learn martial arts and magic.

"Powerful, am I really strong?" Zhang Cheng put down the cutlery in his hand, his eyes revealed a playful color, and he quickly shook his head. "No, Ranger, there are many more powerful things in this world than me, such as the powerful undead spellcaster, the Lich, and those famous old dragons and powerful legendary mages, either of which can kill me, and that's not counting the gods and the terrible Abyss Lords......"

"So you want to use the power of magic to bridge the gap?" Trist seemed to think of something, and subconsciously frowned.

"That's right! Knowledge is power! I need to learn, to swim in the ocean of magic from scratch one step at a time. Perhaps the prejudice and discrimination of your childhood prevented you from understanding the greatness of magic, but I can tell you that it is a power that can kill gods as mortals. ”

When he said this, Zhang Cheng's eyes were once again filled with flames of madness and destruction, and he finally managed to suppress it.

"Last question, how long do you plan to stay in Ten Towns?" The dark elf was keenly aware of the fleeting aura, and the muscles all over his body tensed involuntarily.

"One winter! At the beginning of spring next year, I will choose to go south to Luskan. Zhang Cheng didn't try to hide anything, and bluntly stated part of his plan.

"My dwarven friend Bruno is also going out on an adventure at the beginning of spring, if you don't mind, can you join us?" Trist quickly invited.

He didn't have to ask to know that he hoped to solve this potential threat by the way when he left.

"No problem, I'm looking forward to walking with you......"
