After about three days of walking on the ice sheet, Yanagihara was at the end of the horizon and saw a piece of architecture.

If it weren't for the hallucinations, it would have been an ice tribe.

Holding a telescope that had been lifted from the observatory, the wanderer stood on the snowmobile, examining the shape of the buildings and the looming figures within them.

In the middle of the noise, she turned her head, called Al who was still taking pictures of a cloud, and restarted the snowmobile and drove towards the buildings.

If they're lucky, they'll have a place to shelter from the wind and snow today.

Al always seems to be thinking about some deep questions lately.

To do this, she often took the camera that Liz had repaired, and curled up in the car to look at the photos she had taken earlier. There is a photo of her and Riz Yanagihara, and of course, there is also an image of the old man and the observatory.

Unfortunately, there was no De Rosso among them, after all, by the time she got the camera, De Rosso had been sleeping under the ice wall for a long time.

Travels on the ice fields are usually silent, Yanagihara driving the car, Al looking at the sky, rifles and rabbits stacked in the compartment, cameras vibrating slightly with the undulations of the tracks.

The only sounds that could be heard were probably the muffled sound coming from the engine and the occasional birdsong or two in the air.

It was around the afternoon that Yanagihara finally arrived at the Icefields tribe with Al.

It really wasn't a saying that Wangshan ran a dead horse, and it took them a few hours from the time they saw this tribe to the time they officially arrived nearby.

Up close, the tribe's geography is interesting, with hills on either side sandwiched between them, sheltering them from the wind and snow without completely blocking the road to the outside.

When Yanagihara and the others arrived at the tribe's door, several adults were building a stone wall here.

When they saw the approaching snowmobile, they were stunned for a moment, and then they were relieved to get back to what they were doing.

Because of their location, mercenaries and travelers often pass by and stay for a while.

Outsiders are such things, and if you see them a lot, they are not worth the novelty.

The only thing they couldn't help but pay attention to was the number of outsiders this time.

They seem to be just two people, a woman and a child.

I really don't know how such a combination survives on the ice field, but looking at the gun that slanted on the snowmobile, no one in the tribe plans to go up and look uncomfortable.

Yanagihara and Al were greeted by a man dressed in animal skins.

He didn't look athletic, but he was a little weak, but the first time he saw Yanagihara and Al, he had already walked up.

"Hello, I'm the head of this Icefield tribe, you can call me Desaad."

Yanagihara was a little surprised to meet the leader of the tribe before she had even entered the tribe, but she quickly came to her senses and nodded to Desaad.

"Hello, my name is Yanagihara, her name is Al, we are travelers traveling on the ice field, planning to go east to do some things. Because we happened to pass by here, so we want to spend the night here, we are willing to pay a certain amount of supplies, I wonder if you still have an empty room? ”

"Of course." DeSade said with a wry smile.

"We, the Icefields Tribe, usually provide food and lodging to travelers from outside. All you need to do is pay for some rare ores, or something like oxygen fuel. Let's go, I can show you the room now. ”

As he spoke, DeSade turned to an old man who was still building a stone wall in front of the tribe.

"Marsar, I'll leave the rest to you first, I'll take them in first to familiarize yourself with the environment."

"Got it." The old man's body looked quite tough, and after hearing DeSade's words, he just waved his hand impatiently and replied in a sullen voice.

"Obviously I just want to be lazy, but I insist on being so serious."

"Haha." DeSade smiled and grabbed his hair, and then led Yanagihara and El into the tribe.

The people here seem to be very busy.

This was Yanagihara's first thought after entering the tribe.

Everyone seemed to have their own things to do, the men were carrying rocks and game, the women were boiling water and cooking, and even the old people and children were doing what they could.

The path was full of people, but no one seemed to be idle.

Perhaps this is the norm for the Icefield Tribe, and in order to survive on the Icefield, everyone has to contribute to the collective.

"It's almost winter, and we're preparing for winter." Presumably noticing Yanagihara's gaze, DeSade explained as he walked in front of the snowmobile.

"There are so many things to build fortifications to defend against wild beasts and enough food to survive the winter that we don't have time to rest during this time."

"That's it." Listening to the complaint in DeSade's mouth, Yanagihara seemed to have thought of something, and asked out loud with slightly bright eyes.

"Do you need to recruit mercenaries, I can work for you, as long as you pay some rare ores."

"This ······" DeSade glanced hesitantly at Yanagihara.

After all, just now, Yanagihara was still the one who had to pay for the supplies.

The sudden change in identity made him a little unable to react.

And more importantly, he is not yet sure that Yanagihara is capable of working. If you spend money to recruit someone who can't work, it doesn't make sense, does it?

"You don't have to rush to refuse." Probably seeing DeSade's concerns, Yanagihara took a step back and said.

"Maybe I can work for you for free for a day, and then you can think about hiring me."

"Okay." Thinking of the increasingly heavy workload in the tribe, DeSade finally nodded.

"But you'll still have to pay for your room."

"Of course, of course, we have to separate these two things, are you right, El?"

"Yanagihara, I'm hungry."

"Damn, I'm thinking about how I'm going to fill your stomach right now."
