"Oh, it's Gao Xiu, how is today's hunt?"

"Very little, Kate, you know, today's snowstorm...... It's still huge. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The narrow structure of the Ice and Snow Hug doomed all the residences to be parallel, so the families who lived in the middle could often see people passing by their doors, and in addition to the patrolling guards, the most seen in recent days were their own people. This is the case with the blacksmith's house in the heart of the city. Due to the peculiarity of the profession, the scale of this hut is larger than that of other huts, and the lights inside it are much brighter than the other residents, second only to the patriarch's house located inside the central rock wall, and it is also particularly conspicuous in this small residence. From time to time, some of the people who came and went greeted the blacksmith sitting at the door, and the blacksmith with gray hair often responded with a kind smile.

However, except for Duan Qing, who had just walked before.

"Alas, the wrath of the heavens, when will it stop?" The gray-haired Kate raised her hands to the sky, and there seemed to be a flash of sorrow in her eyes, and then she changed to her normal smile again: "However, the blacksmith is still very happy to see you young men so energetic." ”

"Don't say that, Kate, who in the clan doesn't know the name of the fiercest warrior the Norsil have ever been." The previous warrior looked solemn, thrust his spear into the snow, and saluted the blacksmith: "If it weren't for that terrible disaster, you would have been a good patriarch." ”

"I'm very satisfied with being able to build the best weapon for everyone." The gray old man shook his head and helped the other party with both hands: "As for the future of the Norsr clan, it should be in your hands, but...... Alas. ”

He looked at the sky, which was still fluttering with snowflakes, and sighed slightly, "Why did the heavens become like this?" ”

"Heaven's will, how can we guess it." The young warrior shook his head: "We just have to listen and live...... That's enough. ”

"Under your own power." He looked at the spear next to him, then gripped the shaft of the shaft firmly and drew his weapon.

"The blacksmith is supposed to give you lads the best, but...... This continuous wind and snow stopped everything. Looking at the weapons in the other party's hands, Kate sighed and said, "Even the merchants who come and go are less, and the original outsiders ......."

The old man stopped, and the warrior standing across from him also showed an angry expression.

"We don't need the help of outsiders." He said with a serious expression, "Orem, Uther, and Grau all think so. ”

"Their help is all a scam, their helping hand...... It's all in the clutches of the devil. ”

The gray-haired old man nodded with his hands behind his back, then shook his head again, and finally looked at the wind and snow the same color as his hair: "The survival of the Norsr tribe does not need charity, but the current situation of the Norsr tribe ...... Alas. ”

"How long has it been since no one passed the trial?"

“...... Since Heaven began to be angry, there is no more. The young man's expression became heavy: "The last warrior to go should be Rom, he ...... Still haven't come back. ”

"Olemu's mood has been getting worse and worse these days." Kate sighed, "Heaven is devouring the land, his son...... There may never be a return. ”

The young warrior stood there with an ugly face and did not speak, as if he was also worried about the future of the clan, but the next moment, his eyes suddenly tilted to the side.

"Who's that?"

In front of him, the old man, who had also found the anomaly, asked him in a low voice.

"That man...... It seems to be an outsider who just arrived here today. Osho replied.

"Outsiders?" Kate was surprised and said, "Grau agreed to let outsiders in?" ”

"Nope. But Grau seems to ...... Meet one of them. The warrior shook his head and said, "So I agreed to let them stay." ”

"Oh?"

The old man who heard this lowered his head and seemed to be lost in thought, and while the two men were talking, the figure they had spotted before sneakily glanced back and forth a few times, and then stopped in front of a huge hole in the northwest of the center. He straightened his clothes, then shook his fist as if to cheer himself up, and finally held his head high...... Walked into the hole.

"The outsider...... Want to see the patriarch? ”

"Ahem...... It seems like yes. ”

"But they should have been allowed to do so." The young warrior said, "When I came back, I seemed to see Rath sending the woman back, and I asked him about the situation......

"Women?" Kate asked in surprise, "I've only seen one man before...... Who are they? ”

"One woman, two men. The woman was the one who claimed to know the patriarch, so she had been taken for questioning before, and ......" He pointed to the person who had just walked into the cave: "That man is another man, I heard Rat, his physique is very strong, so it is very easy to recognize, and there is also a man, the body is weaker than him......"

"If that's the case, the blacksmith should have seen it just now." The old man waved his hand: "But I drove him away." ”

The young warrior didn't speak, just nodded, and then continued to recall what he knew: "They are currently housed in Terry's house, just in the southeast direction...... That's right. ”

He said suddenly, "It seems that there is Lola with them, if it weren't for her, we wouldn't have let them in easily." ”

"Lola? That merchant Lola? The old man excitedly grabbed the soldier's arms: "She's actually here?" ”

"Yes, and according to Rattle, she brought a lot of stuff with her......"

"Haha, good, good, hahaha......" the old man cried out with joy: "She must have brought what I wanted!" Where is she? I'm going to go to her......"

A loud shout suddenly came from the huge, bright hole.

"What happened?" Kate, who was about to leave, said in surprise.

"I don't know, but ......" The young man on the side had already raised his spear and rushed towards the place where the patriarch was.

"If those outsiders want to make trouble, I will never spare them."

*****************

"Alas......"

Duan Qing looked at the dim sky against the snowy background above his head, and sighed heavily: "Alas......"

"How did this happen?"

At this time, the three people were located under the slope of the mountain opposite the entrance of the Ice and Snow Embrace, which was also a mountain made of rock walls, but it had frozen into the color of ice under the cold wind, and was whining in the ever-increasing blizzard. But this is already the best sheltered area outside of the ice and snow hug, and it is difficult for people to stand still in other places, let alone tents.

Yes, at this time, Duan Qing and the three had already been driven out - in the words of the Nors, they had been expelled.

"This question ......," Xue Lingphantom Bing, who was sitting quietly on the side, said in a calm tone, "Naturally, I want to ask our eldest brother." ”

On the other side of them, the black-armored man's face was as black as his armor, leaning against the cold rock wall without saying a word, and his eyes had become dull, as if he had not recovered from the series of events that had happened before-when the two warriors rushed into the house where Duan Qing and Xue Lingxuan Ice were, and asked them out in a "friendly" manner, there was already a large group of Norsir warriors waiting outside, and ...... The figure of Nantieshan who was escorted.

Then they were thrown out like dogs.

"It's not that I can't beat them, but I'm afraid that I'll affect everyone......" Dahan said with an ugly face, and then closed his mouth in the eyes of the two.

"You know we don't want to hear that." The woman in the black cloak shook her head.

"Okay." The black-armored man patted his thigh and stood up as if he had been released: "It's all my fault, isn't it my fault?" ”

Duan Qing touched his nose and didn't speak, but the woman's clear eyes were still staring at the man's eyes, so the man paused again.

"I ...... There is a task on the body. ”

After a long time, Nan Tieshan still explained the task he was carrying, and then told what had happened before - with his efforts and pain, he successfully received a powerful piece of equipment from the hands of the girl Lola again, although it cost a lot of money, but the sense of accomplishment of obtaining the powerful equipment also made people feel greater joy. So Nan Tieshan, who was in a very good mood, immediately remembered the appointment order he carried in his arms, and the purpose he wanted to achieve with all the great difficulty of finding this place.

Since he had successfully bought two things from the Foot Merchant in a row, how could this task make Nan Tieshan continue to wait, so he found the place where the patriarch was in a hurry, and then without thinking about it, confidently put forward his task—or rather a request.

And then...... There is no then.

"I did it for a long time......" After listening to it, Duan Qing looked up to the sky and sighed: "I don't have a task, you don't have a task, and finally ......"

"But this big brother has a task."

He said to the woman with a frosty face, "It's still a mission like this......"

"The Norsr are an exclusive race, you should know that." The woman explained lightly: "But as far as I know, for some reason, they are now ...... Extremely distrustful of us outsiders. ”

"Huh? Why? ”

"I don't know exactly what happened, but ...... According to the information I have learned, it must be some outsider who has done something extremely bad to them, so they ......"

That is to say...... I poked a hornet's nest? ”

"Look at where we are." The woman spread her hands: "There can't even be a fire in this place." ”

"Wait a little longer, it's going to get dark, we have to act, this place can't be camped." Duan Qing also said on the side: "Even if we can't find a suitable place to rest, we have to run, even if we don't sleep, it's better than freezing to death......

“...... It's all my fault. ”

Nan Tieshan said suddenly. This time, though, his voice was much lower.

"I got carried away and ended up making things like this." Sitting on the ground, he lowered his head and let the strong wind pour snow and ice into his neck: "Although you ...... But we should have had a lot of opportunities, but because of me, I didn't have any chances. ”

"Don't say that, big brother." Duan Qing glanced at the woman, and in the end, it was he who persuaded the man who suddenly became real: "I don't know anyway...... Well, there's going to happen, and we don't want anything in the first place, we just come out and take risks......"

"I know." Nan Tieshan raised his hand to interrupt Duan Qing's words: "But the mistake I made is the truth...... The free world has taught me another lesson. ”

He clenched his fists.

"Anyway, my mission has failed, and we will set off in a while, go back to Falling Star Mountain, let's try...... Mountain climbing. He raised his head, his eyes re-determined: "If there is any dangerous situation, I will do my best to protect you, even if it is ...... death."

"I, too, will die before you."

"Uh......" Looking at the other party's death-defying appearance, Duan Qing was a little embarrassed: "Big brother, don't ...... like this"

"It's better to die and go back."

Xue Lingphantom Ice held her chin with one hand, nodded in agreement, "Anyway, we have nothing to do, so ..... It's a good idea. ”

Hey, you're both out of tune......

The three of them packed up their things a little, and at the same time collected their own moods, and then they were ready to go back the way they came. Although the gap when they came was blocked, and they didn't know where to find the way up the mountain, as long as they had the heart, they would always find the way up the mountain.

I'm not afraid of death, what are you afraid of, it's a big deal to play extreme rock climbing.

Before leaving, the snow spirit phantom ice stood at the entrance of the slit mixed with wind and snow, as if he wanted to see through the snowflakes in the sky to see what it looked like inside. The black hood still covered her head, so it was only her black cloak that drifted with the wind and snow.

"I remember you saying that they are all good people." Duan Qing looked at her back for a long time, and finally stepped forward: "The result doesn't seem to match what you said." ”

The woman under the hood tilted her head slightly, but did not speak.

"I know it's because we've been together for too short, but ...... The main thing is that it was too bad luck. ”

Duan Qing shook his head, then reached out and pulled the other party's shoulder: "Let's go, there will be a chance to ...... in the future"

Suddenly there was a noise in the snow.

The two of them looked towards the source of the sound—the entrance to the Ice Embrace, the slit in the snow, where several figures loomed into view, and it was not until the men who were pushing and shoving came close that they could see what was happening.

Several fighters pushed the man caught in the middle to the snow.

There were a few more incomprehensible quarrels, and the warriors pointed to the nose of the man who had fallen to the ground, and cursed, ignoring each other's arguments, and were about to turn around and go back together, and one of them shouted at his companion next to him, who hesitated, then turned his spear and threw it on the snow in front of the man who had fallen to the ground.

Then, those people looked at Duan Qing and the others not far away with the same contempt, and turned their heads to return to the embrace of ice and snow.

"You see, they're getting more and more unfriendly, and they're bullying even their own people...... Hey? ”

Duan Qing, who was standing on the side, said with some amusement, and then suddenly ran forward as if he had discovered something.

"Is that you?"
