North Glacier.

Just by listening to the name, you know that the river must be located in the extreme cold zone.

There are very few players in the Central Plains Continent who go out to explore, which is not to say that the great powers of the Celestial Empire are resting on their laurels, but that the weather in the extremely cold region is not something that players in temperate regions can adapt to.

At this time, the scenery of the northern country is indeed thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting, only in this kind of place can you experience the essence of the poem "Mountain Dancing Silver Snake, Yuan Chi Wax Statue", this breathtaking cold spectacle, this heroic state of mind looking down on the rivers and mountains, it does make people sigh for the great man's mind.

The north wind has now become colder than a knife, sweeping on the snow directly blowing waves of snow mist and cold dust, between the sky and the earth, the vast snow white, white and even dazzling.

There seemed to be two snow clusters rolling in the snow, but of course they were not real snow clusters, but Zhang He and Zhong Schumann walking alone.

In addition to his own equipment and tattered scholar's clothes, Zhang He also put on two thick cotton clothes outside, which is what Zhong Shuman asked him to "borrow" from the racecourse, which is "robbery" if it doesn't sound good, but Xiao Zhang is still shivering with cold.

His nose was red from the cold, his feet were numb all the time, and his gloves, earmuffs, and hats were all wrapped around his body, and he still couldn't withstand the cold wind that was deep to the bone.

Rushing in this kind of weather where the white gas that can be frozen in an instant is no longer a crime, it is completely masochistic.

Because for players, a lot of clothes on the body means that the speed of the body is greatly reduced, and the low temperature of dozens of degrees below zero makes your movements stretch, and you won't feel cold if you want to exercise vigorously, but the consumption is so great, where is the supply in this wilderness for you to squander so much?

Zhong Shuman is obviously more adaptable to this environment than Zhang He, she wears an extra white fox fur, wears a white line hat, and walks in the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

It's just that the two looked like two cute polar bears wriggling in the snow from a distance, Zhang He took out the kettle, unscrewed the lid, looked up and took a small sip, still feeling thirsty.

You don't have to think that the pot is filled with water, even if the boiling water will freeze into ice cubes in a few minutes at most at this temperature, so experienced players will fill the pot with a very high degree of liquor, not to make you drink and enjoy the snow, but to make you thirsty and moisten your lips, otherwise your lips will be frozen open.

Acting on the snowfield, Zhong Shuman knows much more than Zhang He, she not only knows how to fight and kill ice bears to survive, but also knows what route to choose.

Looking at the heavy snow, Zhang He sighed: "How long will it take?" ”

"It's coming!" Zhong Shuman didn't look back.

Zhang He couldn't help but sigh: "I want to cry." ”

Zhong Shuman said: "Why? ”

Zhang He sighed: "In the past three days, this is the eighth time that you have answered me like this, in fact, I also know that it has not arrived, but even if you answer a little new, it will be good, that can also give me a little hope, for example, hold on for a while, at the latest this afternoon, it will be there soon, but it's a pity that you only say those two words." ”

Zhong Shuman suddenly stopped: "I'll tell you now whether you believe it or not." ”

Zhang He said: "I don't believe it! ”

Zhong Shumann said: "It's really here." ”

"Really?"

"Really!" Zhong Schumann nodded vigorously.

Zhang He's eyes lit up, and he suddenly felt refreshed and rushed forward like a mouse.

The wind and snow were lifted like pieces of dancing white gauze tents, and when Zhang He came out, he found that the two of them were standing on the edge of a cliff, although it was also white in the distance, but one thing was absolutely white, that is, about 500 meters away from this cliff, a road was exceptionally white, like a whiter ribbon embedded in the snow.

There are all kinds of houses built on the ribbon, the scale is not small, not to mention the size of five Yuhua villages, and the most peculiar thing is that these houses are all made of ice.

"This is the North Glacier?" Zhang Hyuk's tone was marked with obvious disbelief.

"The first time I saw this, it was exactly the same as you look now." Zhong Shuman smiled: "That road is not a real road, but the North Ice River, as soon as the Double Ninth Festival passes every year, the river will freeze, and the people here will build wooden shelves on it, and constantly pour water on the wooden frames, and within a few days it will start to freeze, and these igloos will be built." ”

"So this place is called North Ice Town?" Zhang Hyuk asked.

Zhong Shuman nodded: "You should always understand why I said that it was built on the river, right?" ”

Zhang He said: "But ice always melts. ”

Zhong Shuman said: "That's right, when it comes to the Qingming Festival of the following year, these ice will melt, sometimes the North Sea will continue to have a cold snap, but at the latest the summer solstice will melt, as soon as these igloos melt, the river will be unblocked, and those wooden shelves will be washed away downstream." ”

Zhang He's eyes straightened, this kind of thing sounded like a fairy tale to a Central Plains player like him.

"I'm just now discovering that you know something, but it's no less than I do." Zhang He admired.

Zhong Shuman nodded: "Actually, not as much as you, because my birthplace in "Dynasty" is here. ”

Zhang He was stunned again, it stands to reason that Zhong Shuman should have been born in a novice village in the Central Plains Continent, how could he be born in this kind of three-no zone? Isn't that unfair?

However, he didn't ask much, because Zhong Shuman's gaze at the town in the distance was very complicated, as if he was missing his hometown and reminiscing about the past, but it was by no means a happy look, so Zhang He said again: "According to what you say, this glacier is about to melt, because I just looked at the dynastic calendar, and there are still a few days before the summer solstice." ”

Zhong Shumann said: "So there is not much time left for us, we have to find out their whereabouts in these few days." ”

Zhang He was surprised again: "This range is inevitably too big." ”

"But it will definitely be able to be found." Zhong Schumann replied in the affirmative.

Zhang He was puzzled: "You seem to be very confident. ”

Zhong Shuman explained: "This is different from the Central Plains, because this area is a large area of three nos, players and NPCs are mixed, players are mostly novices, and there are players from the Central Plains, Mongolia, and Daliao, as well as a small number of players from Goryeo, Fusang, and Dongying, who will return to their respective countries to continue their travel and exploration after changing jobs." ”

Zhang He understood: "So, the players who have stayed here for many years are all life players, or are they NPCs with a small number of NPCs?" ”

Zhong Shuman blinked and said, "Don't forget, they may not be as good as the Central Plains players in martial arts, but not everyone knows the art of ice melting and casting. ”

Zhang He suddenly realized: "So if any stranger enters this town, it is easy to attract the attention of others." ”

Zhong Shumann said: "I am sure that if they want to come in this direction, they will definitely enter the town. ”

Zhang He nodded: "They are also people, and they also have to eat and drink, and they also have to replenish supplies." ”

Zhong Shuman smiled: "So we'll find out as soon as we go and inquire." ”

Zhang He sighed: "I only now understand why the six doors and your chivalrous people are so good at tracking, it turns out that many things seem complicated, but after understanding the principle, it becomes simple." ”

Zhong Shuman said with a smile: "You should also know, what is the fastest and most convenient way to inquire about the news?" ”

Of course he knew, and more than he knew, he simply knew it.

Is there anything more powerful than asking for news in vain?

So our classmates Zhang and Zhong Daxia swaggered into the North Ice Town on the glacier.

This town is really more lively than expected, although there is no big city scene of people coming and going, but there are also inns, restaurants, pawnshops, casinos, grocery stores, medicine shops and other facilities.

In particular, this kind of inn made of pure white ice, the appearance looks crystal clear, in fact, there is a brazier inside, the interior is warm like spring, supplemented by all kinds of decoration and calligraphy and painting, it really gives people the feeling of being at home in the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

As soon as he walked into the door of the "Spring Inn", Xiao Zhang wanted to pretend to be forced, he thought that the NPC shopkeeper would run up to greet the guests with a smile on his face, but he was wrong, the shopkeeper was making calculations on the counter and ignored him and Zhong Shuman.

"I stay in the hotel." Zhang He still doesn't believe that NPCs will ignore customers?

He was so wrong, because the shopkeeper didn't even bother to say sorry to you: "This store is full." ”

"This ......" Zhang He was dumbfounded, I said this is not, right? The teacher is so unfavorable, and he has the ambition to come here thousands of miles away, but when he encounters this embarrassment, he really can't find the monk's temple with a pig's head.

"Another one?" Zhang He turned his head to look at Zhong Shuman.

Zhong Shuman shook his head: "This is the only one, there is no semicolon." ”

Zhang He nodded: "You have a way, right?" It's your home turf. ”

"You're right." Zhong Shuman took out a handful of silver from his baggage and pressed it on the counter: "Shopkeeper, we want two upper rooms, the kind that can be bathed with hot water, here are 50 taels of silver." ”

As soon as he saw the silver, the shopkeeper showed a smile and gestured: "Please, two guest officers, please come inside." ”

Zhang He was curious: "Didn't you say it was full?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Let me think of a way, think of a way, the room will definitely be vacated, it will definitely be vacated, hehe, please inside, please ...... inside."

Zhang He almost vomited blood: "I finally understand why this place is so prosperous now?" ”

Zhong Shuman smiled and said, "Why? ”

Zhang He shouted: "This inn is a black shop, and it's strange to open a store here without making a fortune." ”

Zhong Shuman sighed: "There is one thing you still haven't figured out, it's not just that this inn is a black shop, all the shops in this town are all black shops, and there is no one who is not." ”

Zhang He was stunned: "Then if I inquire about the news here, won't you want to inquire about me and go bankrupt?" ”

Zhong Shuman nodded: "Well, there is no money here, only cash transactions." ”

Zhang He said: "Then I'll tell you a very unfortunate news now, I still have 93 copper plates all over my body." ”

Zhong Shuman said: "It doesn't matter, I can recommend a place, and we will go to find money together." ”

Zhang He said: "Where? ”

Zhong Schumann said: "Casino! ”
