"Huhuhuhu"

The cold winter is steep, the wind is strong, and the door is opened, bringing in a cold air.

"Heh, close the door quickly, and hurry up and bake the fire."

The man who had just entered the room was obviously very cold, and he kept stomping his feet, and sat down in front of the brazier in two or three steps.

"Yesterday was fine, how did it become like this overnight."

Outside the window, there was goose feather snow and it fell all night.

"Who's to say it's not, come on, come on, just hot wine, take a sip quickly."

The man took off his gloves, hat, and mask, revealing a young face, he quickly took the bowl, and drank it directly in one gulp, and then the first line of throat into the stomach, the warmth was suddenly born, and soon he swam away to the limbs, and the coldness suddenly disappeared.

"Oh, this wine is so good." The young man slammed his lips.

"Hahaha, of course, we are still here in the cold winter, how can the top treat us badly. The wine is hot on the fire, and there is cooked beef in the steamer in the back room, you eat it yourself, I'll go out to inspect it, today's task is completed, and we will drink it again when we come back. "The older one looks like he's familiar with the road.

"Well, you can wrap it tight, the wind is like a knife, and it hurts on your face."

"Done."

The middle-aged man was dressed neatly, it was really three layers inside and three layers outside, and he stepped out when he opened the door, and immediately closed the door. The inside and outside of the house were like two worlds, and the searchlight in his hand could only protrude a distance of one or two zhang before it was difficult to enter, he lowered his body slightly, walked cautiously, and walked towards the warehouse little by little.

"Who! Who's there! ”

Suddenly, the middle-aged man saw a dark shadow, he felt that there was someone there, and immediately shouted and asked, the searchlight pointed there, and at the same time his left hand had already pinched a round ball.

"Old Vader, it's me."

A circle of light appeared in the janitor's sight, and then a stout figure walked towards him, he was wearing a magic shield, and the wind and snow couldn't get close to him, it turned out to be the top manager of the warehouse, Peterson Tim.

"My lord, you are in charge today!" The old man didn't have this calmness, his face was tightly wrapped, and he had to rely on roaring to speak.

"Old man, it's hard work, since I'm here, I don't have to patrol, go back to the porter and rest."

"Thank you for the adult mercy, I froze to death on this day!" Old Vader said and bowed slightly, the wind and snow were too big, his body seemed to be numb from the cold, and the simple bow seemed a little stiff, the key is that it was a little slow, and at the same time he had to withdraw the ball he was holding in his left hand into his sleeve.

"What's wrong!"

A third voice came, low but clear and powerful. Even in such an environment, Old Vader could still feel a pair of cold eyes staring at this place, but perhaps it was obscured by the wind and snow, and those eyes did not completely fall on him.

Tim explained, "It's okay, the gatekeeper of the house. ”

Obviously, Tim wasn't saying this to Old Vader. So old Vader bowed again, this time as if he was used to it, and moved a little faster, and then turned silently, and took the searchlight, and walked towards the warm porter. Threw the conversation between the two adults in the snow.

"Elder Miller, what is your next visit?"

"Oh, it's not a big deal, some of the materials to be used are short, let me take a look, and take stock by the way."

The wind and snow outside naturally couldn't affect the two of them, they chatted casually and walked towards the warehouse gate.

Soon, dim lights appeared in front of the two of them. Tim stepped into the light, and there wasn't a bit of snow there. Miller stood still, an invisible dividing line.

Tim turned, his eyes clear, and within the yellow light was his world, where he had been for more than thirty years, and where he was the most confident man.

Miller looked at him calmly, the picture fell into an eerie silence, behind him was a sky full of snow, and in the dim light, the two faced each other silently.

"Elder Miller, please show me the token."

Without saying a word, Miller saw a token appear in his hand, tossed it lightly, and fell steadily into Tim's hand over the dim light.

Tim dropped a copper coin ornament from his waist, which was used to verify the token, and it was a set.

"Elder Funeng usually comes, but I haven't heard from him this year."

"Verneng has other important things, and it's good to be cautious, but this token is always true."

"That's right." No one was more familiar with this token than Tim, so naturally it could not be a fake, and he threw it back.

"I wonder if the elder is coming this time to enter the secret vault?"

"Steward Tim, do you want to make things clear here?"

"I'm really sorry, it's the villain Meng Lang, please come in."

Seeing how Tim moved, the huge door of the warehouse behind him opened silently, and he turned sideways and stood respectfully aside.

This time, Miller didn't hesitate and walked forward, as if the yellow light was nothing more than an ordinary lamp. Tim bowed slightly, half a seat behind him, and stepped into it together, and the great door closed silently, blocking the wind and snow of the day.

The warehouse is extremely vast, and the word is not usually used to describe a place like a warehouse, but it is indeed vast, and you can't see the edge at a glance, as if you have left the huge gate and entered the vast world, which seems to be much larger than it seems from the outside, and you can imagine what a huge wealth there is. But the two of them obviously didn't care about any of this, and Elder Miller didn't squint and walked straight forward.

"Elder, don't blame, I've been guarding here for many years, and I never dare to slack off."

"I said, it's right to be cautious, otherwise this place won't be guarded by you forever."

"A few days ago, I received a letter from the family, saying that the family was coming to pick up something, I naturally thought it was Elder Funeng, but it really shouldn't be."

"Don't worry."

The originally somewhat frozen atmosphere gradually came alive, as if they both knew that there was still a long way to go, but the strange thing was that neither of them used magic to walk, and seeing this, Tim's hanging heart was half relieved.

"By the way, I don't know if there is any result of the exchange of affairs that I asked the Council of Elders for instructions last time."

"Hehe, I'm bored."

Tim laughed dryly, and if he didn't refute, he acquiesced, after all, whoever guards such a place will get tired of staying in it for thirty years.

"The Council of Elders has already discussed, but there is no suitable person to take over your work for a while, but I am here to give you a promise, within a year, you will be transferred back to your home to report on your work, and when the time comes, you will be clear, and it should be no problem if you want to stay in your home or go to any chamber of commerce on the mainland. After all, you are the old steward of the clan, and you deserve this courtesy. ”

"Thank you very much."

Miller waved his hand.

"I'm old, I miss the old, I just want to go back to my hometown to stay, I haven't been back to my hometown all these years, I don't know what happened."

The two chatted casually, and after a long time, they came to a crystal area, where countless crystal bottles were placed on the shelves. No matter what's in that bottle, these bottles alone are worth a lot of money.

For the first time, Miller stopped. This is Tim's territory, and it's impossible to find the only one among countless bottles, and there's chaos in the magic of perception that can seriously interfere with detection.

This time, Tim led the way, weaving through the crystals, and soon he was in place, and he took one of the countless bottles on the shelves and handed it to Miller.

"How long does it take for the elders, as a rule, I can't go in, I'm waiting outside."

Miller looked at Tim and silently extended his right hand. Tim took a piece of jade from his bosom and handed it over.

That's when Tim was truly relieved. In the past five years, the annual chassis cargo has been Ferneng, and this time I didn't receive any notice, and it was indeed another person, Millerwick. He knew that Miller was also an elder in the clan, but he hadn't dealt with him much. From the beginning of the meeting to the current conversation, it is not as simple as small talk, in fact, it is all a temptation, including this before and after, and this time when reaching out to ask for something, all of them are exquisite. At this point, he finally reassured.

"It's always an hour." Miller took the jade, a levitation technique, the crystal bottle hung steadily in front of him, and the jade jue in his left hand was aimed at the crystal bottle, the light flickered, obviously urging the magic.

"Then I'll go and arrange a place for the elder to live first."

"No need, the family needs it urgently, I'm going to leave immediately."

As they spoke, a whirlpool appeared in front of them, and the space seemed to be distorted, and a bright space could be faintly seen.

"Is it in such a hurry? Then I have to go back quickly, according to the usual annual gifts, the elder is to bring back, and Elder Funeng did not come, he asked me to save some wine for the trough I was looking for. This wine is his favorite, and if he doesn't bring it back, he will definitely not have a good life for me in the coming year, and he will have to trouble Elder Miller. ”

"Hmm." Miller whispered yes.

Tim beside him was still smiling, bowing slightly, as if about to retreat, and a faint yellow quietly appeared between his palms, very inconspicuous, like the light outside the warehouse door.
