Chapter 3: Searching
It's winter, and the snow is heavy, so it's hard to find something in the wild.
At this time, it is usually when the smuggler salt dealer and the black water dealer come out to carry out activities, and he met several teams along the way, but unfortunately they are all smuggler salt dealers, and there are no black water dealers.
It seems that this time the high-level suppression of Heishui is particularly strong, so he will search for no result.
After three days of searching, Kai's footprints have reached the northernmost vicinity of Qianzhen, but he still hasn't found it.
At noon on the third day, when he was walking back from Qianzhen, he saw a procession coming from the north.
The line was unusually long, guarded by powerful warriors, and didn't look much like the Fire Tribe's team in terms of clothing.
For this reason, he did not bypass the fire capital and go home, but curiously followed the team into the fire capital, and saw many leaders here to greet him from a distance.
There were many people gathered outside the city gate, and after asking about it, he got the identity of this group of people: the envoys of the Ice Bear Tribe.
He was very curious about what the envoy of the Ice Bear Tribe was doing at this time, but obviously the people around him didn't know much, but some people said: What else can you do, for food.
I heard that the north has become colder, and although the wild beasts have grass to eat, they can't withstand the cold, and their numbers have been decreasing sharply.
"Is it really for food?"
He muttered suspiciously, then bypassed the line and entered the fire capital, walking towards the little fat house.
He hadn't been to the dojo for a few days, and he didn't know what the next class would be, so he went to ask.
When he walked into Chubby's house, someone immediately led him to the gate of Chubby's courtyard.
"What have you been doing these days, why haven't I seen you all the time?"
Chubby is delighted by his arrival, one of his few friends and one of the few people in the dojo who knows his secrets.
The identity of the little fat man is very extraordinary, he is the child of the Spring Witch, and he is also the favored candidate for the leader of the next generation of the Spring Tribe.
The Spring Tribe does not take battle as its ability, so when choosing the leader, it conforms to the situation of the Fire Tribe Alliance and sets the direction on the smart boy, and the little fat man is a smart guy.
He was very precocious and didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble in the dojo or academy, so he kept a low profile, and the equally low-key Kai became his friend.
It's hard to keep secrets between good friends, so she knows the identity of the little fat man, just as the little fat man also knows that he is smuggling black water.
The little fat man welcomed him into his room, and immediately took out the still hot barbecue and fish soup, and ate them with him.
"When I came over, I saw the emissary team of the Ice Bear Tribe, what are they doing here?"
Holding the barbecue in one hand and the fish soup in the other, he didn't forget to ask when he was feasting.
He knew the identity of the little fat man, and naturally knew that he could explore many secrets that he didn't know.
"The Ice Bear Totem is about to become a god, and the Fire Totem is invited to watch the ceremony. ”
The little fat man's words made him stunned, and he looked at the little fat man with his mouth wide open, and his face was full of disbelief.
"Really? The Ice Bear Tribe is really going to become a god?"
He was surprised because when he was studying at the academy, he knew that it was very difficult for a totem to become a god, and even the fire totem, which claimed to have become a god, had actually been in the realm of Ming Totem.
After the surprise, there was immediately a worry on his face, he was a smart guy who knew what it meant for the ice bear totem to become a god.
Before becoming gods, they plundered the resources of the Fire Tribe Alliance, and if they became gods, they might not be able to bully the Fire Tribe.
The little fat man's face was also a little worried, and he naturally knew about this relationship.
"Will the fire totem go?"
Swallowing the meat in his mouth, he asked.
The little fat man thought for a moment and replied: "Most of them will go, and it is beneficial to the fire totem to watch the ceremony and become a god, and even if he doesn't want to go, those Ming totems in the gossip space also want to go and see it." ”
He nodded, he could understand this, just like he was studying in the dojo, watching a real battle was better than telling too much.
"It's a mixed bag, and you don't have to be too pessimistic. ”
She smiled and began to feast again.
He didn't have much chance to eat these good things, so naturally he wouldn't delay eating and drinking because of these things that he couldn't control.
The little fat man also smiled, and did not dwell on this topic anymore, and at the same time he understood what he meant.
The so-called mixed results refer to the promotion of the Ice Bear Totem, which can help the Fire Totem find the direction of the promotion God Totem, including many Ming Totems, who are also looking for this direction.
This is a good thing for the Fire Tribe Alliance, and the disadvantage is of course the oppression that the Fire Tribe Alliance may face.
"I've been looking for you in the past two days. ”
The little fat man suddenly spoke, and the topic had changed elsewhere.
"What for?"
He asked with some curiosity.
She wasn't here often, she lived in Dragon City, and the three of them had seen each other once in a long time.
"It seems to be a little unhappy, and I want to find a sandbag to spar with. ”
The little fat man said with a smile.
"Then it's enough for her to look for you, you're more like a sandbag, I'm the busiest, I don't have time to pay attention to her. ”
It's not that she doesn't want to see her, it's just that she's really busy, and if she can't find Heishui, the dojo class will stop.
When the little fat man heard what he said, his face suddenly turned bad.
"I'll help you pay the tuition, and you can help me carry the beating, how about it?"
He immediately shook his head, showing reluctance, but in fact, he was quite excited.
He knew that this was the little fat man taking the opportunity to help him solve his troubles, including Boiling looking for him, or it could be for this matter.
But he didn't want these two friends to help him, that would make him feel like his pride was frustrated.
Self-esteem sometimes makes him uncomfortable, but more often than not, it gives him a motivation to persevere.
Seeing that he refused, the little fat man didn't say anything more, picked up a piece of meat and swallowed it with him.
After the two of them finished eating, the little fat man asked about the recent situation again, and he didn't hide it and told him about the situation.
"The smarter black water dealers won't brew black water, this time the Ice Bear Tribe directly pulled away half of the annual output of yellow millet, next summer there may be a food crisis in the Fire Tribe Alliance, how can anyone dare to brew black water. ”
The little fat man explained the reason in one word, and the expression of loss on his face flashed.
"Maybe some people still have stock. ”
He squeezed out a smile and said.
"Even if you have it, you don't dare to take it out, if you find out, it is easy to be directly beheaded by the Codex tribe, and you don't know the character of those guys. ”
After the little fat man finished speaking, he saw that he looked like he had been hit, so he couldn't help but ask for help.
"I'll think of a way, if it really doesn't work, you can only help me. ”
With a bitter smile, he asked about the academic arrangements of the dojo again before getting up to leave.
Walking out of Xiaopang's house, he happened to see the team of envoys of the Ice Bear Tribe again, and there were quite a few people on the street at this time, but he was not interested in watching these, so he directly found a quiet path with few people and left.
If he could follow the Ice Bear Tribe for a while, he might be able to see the old man in front, but unfortunately the little fat man's words made him feel a little chaotic and lose the mood to see the excitement.
Back in Gen Town, he was still a little unwilling, and took advantage of the darkness to go to the house of the blackwater dealers again.
This time he didn't ask who had Blackwater, because he had already asked, and this time he asked who knew what Blackwater Workshop was still open outside, and he wanted to buy some directly.
Such a risk is much greater than buying in town.
The Blackwater Workshop only dares to open in winter, because only in such a season will there be fewer people going out in the fire, and even so, those Blackwater Workshops are hidden between ditches and mountain streams, otherwise they will be found by the patrol police in minutes.
Going to this dangerous place to find the Blackwater Workshop in bad weather is too risky for a teenager, but he still wants to fight.
He was an orphan to his parents from the Buck tribe, and was killed by a ferocious beast in the sea when he opened the sea.
Because of the death of his parents, he had the opportunity to learn writing, which led to the idea of entering the dojo.
In order to enter the dojo to study over the years, he came to Genzhen from Donghai City, worked as a coolie and smuggled sea salt, and finally stabilized by relying on the trade of black water.
Now that this business can't be done, he must make a fortune before it is completely extinct, otherwise he can only return to Donghai City in disgrace.
He knew that with the dojo and academy experience of the Fire Capital, he would not be too bad in Donghai City, but he was still too far from his goal.
His goal is to become a great witch, not an evangelist witch, nor a spirit witch, but a real great witch.
He has put in too much effort and hard work for this goal, and now that he has the opportunity to fight, he will not give up.
Huangtian lived up to his painstaking efforts, and after many inquiries, he finally knew that there might be a black water workshop in the depths of Beishan that was not closed.
It was an abandoned quarry full of potholes, and few people were able to explore it.
When he returned home, he did not hesitate, he took off his sackcloth and put on animal skins, put all the remaining dry food in a wooden box, and walked out of Gen Town in the snowy weather.
The North Mountain is not far away, and when the weather is good, it will be there for a small day, and if there is a sled, it will be half a day away.
But now the weather is bad, and there is no sled, so he can only move slowly.
Late at night, he was really tired, but he didn't stop to sleep, but knelt in the snow after eating dry food and prayed to the Sun Totem.
Through prayer, the power of the day totem slowly entered his body, warming his body while also bringing him a hint of sleepiness.
He stopped praying and pinched himself, he had heard from soldiers who had been on the battlefield that it was easy to freeze to death if he fell asleep in the cold winter snow when he was exhausted.
He didn't want to freeze to death, so he could only hold on, until the sun rose, and until the weather warmed up slightly.
Pray, pinch yourself......
Pray again, pinch yourself again......
He didn't know how many times he had pinched himself, he just knew that his inner thighs were already a little numb, and at this time the sky finally dawned.
The sun came out and he could finally get some sleep.
