The letter from Poitou disrupts the players' original plans, but it also gives a clear goal for the somewhat confused players. Although this goal really affects only a few people in the team, as long as it is done properly, it may not be impossible to point the way to the remaining ones.

Since they are going back to Poitu City, players naturally have to hurry up and prepare before leaving. This time, the time is relatively tight, and there is also a convenient and comfortable mobile hotel called 'Warm Home'. Naturally, the people of the 'Bloodstained Gray Flower' will no longer join the caravans of the same route as before. Instead, a group of men rode back to Boreham's territory.

And just the day before departure, the golden lion statue that was delivered to the auction house by noodles brought players a return of 10,500 gold coins. You must know that this is the result of deducting the auction house fee, and if you calculate the final transaction price alone, it will definitely exceed 11,600 gold coins. Compared with the 8,300 gold coins that players originally purchased, it is a premium of nearly 40%.

However, considering Ulrik's large consumer base, the reputation of the 'Papworth' auction house and the original gap between the market price and the internal price. It's not that much to get a price like that. If it weren't for the small auction that took place once every four days, but the kind of large-scale auction that had been publicized for half a month, the final price of this strange object would have to climb up by about 20 percent to say the least--the second-generation group of Ulrik is indispensable to those who cannot take the line of the warriors, and their demand for such strange objects is endless.

From this, you can see how the right decision Noodle made to stop Claudia from trading the Golden Lion Statue to the Church of the Dragon God of Good. After all, the calculation of the compensation price is often converted from the basic price of the strange thing. Compared with the auction, it is a difference of less than 50%. It's no wonder that the halflings were in a hurry to stop it.

When the funds were returned, Clematis immediately repaid the loan he had borrowed a few days earlier. The people, who had cleaned up all the hands and tails that might cause trouble, rode away from the west gate of Ulrique. Players far from the city run their way down the trade routes. Soon the advancing caravan was spotted not far ahead.

Before making contact with the opposing ranger at the tail, Barrett raised his hand to signal his teammates behind him. Then he jumped down the barcade and began to gallop through the wilderness, hoping to bypass the slow caravan in front of him, for if he passed by the caravan, he would have to deal with the guards hired by the caravan. In this way, much more time is wasted than getting around in the wilderness.

If the players had just formed a team, none of the rest of the blood-stained Grey Flowers, except Barrett, would have been able to ride horses in the wilderness - which was one of the reasons why they had been part of the caravan for a long time. However, after such a long period of time, the remaining players have already solved this problem through the improvement of the memorization and their own efforts. Otherwise, there would be no way for everyone to escape from the Cruze Kingdom in the first place.

And now these lame riders can follow the speed of light riding and whizz past the caravan that is slowly moving on the side. Then go back to the trade road in front to save horsepower. In this way, in a roundabout, forward, and roundabout, the players are speeding towards the city of Poitou faster than ever.

Plus the comfortable beds provided by the 'Cosy Home' and the decent kitchen facilities. Players can sleep in a fluffy bed after a hard day's work, but Barrett's dinner with the humble ingredients (jerky and some shelf-stable vegetables) is still delicious. The combination of the two provides a considerable boost to the morale of the players.

Players who have prepared a lot have thought that the journey will continue smoothly as in the first few days. But it's a pity that nature played a small joke with these travelers who were on their way.

'Why is it so low all of a sudden? Barrett, who was awakened by the sudden drop in temperature, found himself in a large amount of white mist as he breathed. Feeling that something was wrong, he immediately got out of the bedding. Although the temperature in the mage's secret hall has passed the freezing point, it is not a big deal in terms of Barrett's physique.

Looking at a few of his companions who were subconsciously curled up in the futon, he immediately cautiously approached the window and peeked out, to prevent this from being the work of some person with supernatural powers—although the mage vault could hide most prying eyes, it was still not foolproof. If you encounter a hostile caster, it is very likely that the outermost layer of camouflage will be broken in a targeted manner. Therefore, Barrett should not be taken lightly at such a time, and if he recklessly makes a noise, it may trigger the early action of a potential enemy.

Turning his head, he saw that the starry sky outside the window, which had been brilliant before falling asleep, had disappeared without a trace. It's like being covered with a thick quilt, gray and absolutely unpolished. And under this dim dome, the fine snowflakes swirled in the cold wind, flying and jumping in the wilderness outside the window, like fluttering butterflies, like flying catkins, like scattered lemon worms.

Barrett was relieved to see this, and he walked straight out of the hut and began to tend to the horses that were tethered to the hut. After these problems are solved, return to the house, put on the cloak that you had already removed, and activate the effect on it. Immediately after that, the temperature in the secret chamber rose to a temperature that could be clearly felt, and with the help of the comfort cloak, the temperature in the hut finally became 'normal'.

After all this, Barrett stretched and thought, 'I don't have to wake them all up.' I didn't expect that His Highness would be powerful today. Our luck was really bad. ’

In this quiet winter night, Ellos, the Daughter of Frost, turned into countless flying snowflakes, and walked south step by step with graceful steps, and the ice crystals sprinkled on the way landed in all corners of the Western Continent little by little.

Ruthlessness and ruthlessness are the names of this goddess. With the sparkle of her crown, even the immortal pine was moved by its crystal and draped in layers of silver armor. This is a silent blade, a poison hidden in the clear water. The bare bark cracked in the wind and snow, and the heavy canopy of ice and snow crushed the frozen and stiff branches. The flame of life is gradually extinguished in the confluence of wind and water,

And when her blue ice crystal sword swung out, the terrible whistling entangled with the dense clouds, obscuring the stars in the sky. Then a blizzard struck. Gray clouds lay low on the ground, moving, and filling the sky. Heavy snow is falling.

As the most northernmost regime, the Northland city-states bore the brunt of this change. The wind was blowing, and the chimneys that passed through the town let out a whining roar. At the same time, he chased the snowflakes that were hovering rapidly in the woods, dodging left and right, and whistling violently, causing the whole forest to panic.

Then the blizzard became more and more intense, and the biting cold wind caused the large snowflakes to fall like autumn rain. It shook the branches, howled in fury, and blew away the snowflakes that had been piled up in a frenzy, and swept them into the air again. It whistled incessantly, changing its direction so uncertainly that it almost overturned the improvised stables that could be found everywhere in the city. It scraped the faces of the farmers who went to the reinforcement like sharp stones, and made them breathless and speechless.

At this time, the two sides who were fighting were even more unhappy, when the original plain turned into a snowfield, the fierce cold wind whistled sharply, blowing the snow on the snowfield into a giant dragon, rolling against the snow. The dragons flew the straw and overthrew the tent, causing the sleeping soldiers to tremble under the majesty of the Frost Maiden.

If Barrett had been in the Northland at this time, he would have understood that the war between the Council of Nobles, the Mammoth Dynasty, and the Seven Cities Alliance would inevitably stop because of the heavy snowfall. The impact of the university on the soldiers and the inhabitants is one thing, but the war-weariness of the long fighting is more important - and the impact of the snow is the best excuse for those in power to get off the slope.

Under these circumstances, the Noble Council and the Mammoth Dynasty were in a difficult position, and if they wanted to bring as many troops back home as possible, they would have to pay a greater price to appease the relatively restless soldiers of the Seven Cities Alliance and the greedy chaebol families.

But the negotiations between the three regimes will not end too quickly. I'm afraid that even if the Bloodstained Gray Flower returns to Boreham, the initial results can be negotiated there, which is already very impressive progress.

When the player wakes up the next day, he opens the door and sees the white world. The sky felt like it was frozen. The howling cold wind blew the cloaks behind the players non-stop. Fortunately, the current temperature was still within the influence range of the comfort cloak, which did not make the ladies behind Barrett shiver.

"It seems that this road is not easy to walk!" Looking at everything in front of her, Rielly grumbled. The ground in front of me is no longer visible due to snow, and in this case, people can only rush with experience like migratory birds.

At this time, Clematis patted his friend's shoulder: "Don't worry! I can also use the group snow boots. Although it is a bit extravagant to use divination to determine the direction, it is not really a big problem. ”

"It's not so wasteful. I've got a compass here! Bolim Territory should be the westernmost part of the kingdom, and if we follow this direction, even if we deviate from it, we can probably rest in the nearest towns. Looking at the map, Noodles suddenly proposed.

Barrett, who was taking off the tapestry from his horse, turned to him and said, "Let's walk around according to the noodle first!" If you find something wrong, you can solve it with magic. Anyway, in the territory of Nohan, there is generally no great danger on the plains. ”

However, when it was time to actually hit the road, players realized that it was difficult to make the road through the wind and snow. In this winter wilderness, with the cooperation of light and shadow - it seems that there is a strong light shining on the snow-white field, the horizon is greatly opened, the low and dark sky has disappeared, and only the white diagonal lines formed by the falling snow can be seen in all directions - the players took out the 'snow goggles' that had been lost in the storage space for an unknown amount of time, and this solved the visual trouble.

But the bigger troubles have just begun. In the midst of this wilderness, the wind stubbornly blows everything in one direction. On the right, on the left, everywhere was white and gray. The player's eyes want to find something fresh, but they can't: not a single signpost, not a pile of hay, not a single fence, nothing to see, and a patch of snow everywhere. Coupled with the influence of the quill snow, no one could see the reference of the movement - except for the companions around them.

In this case, even if you want to rely on the help of the compass to go all the way west, it is not all easy. Players must not stop their steps in the direction of the varsity. At the same time, the wind changes its direction all the time; After a while, it blew in the face, and the snowflakes covered everyone's eyes; For a moment, he nastily blew the cloak high and mockingly wiped the players' faces with it; After a while, it blew through some hole in the back. This greatly slows down the progress of formation.

However, when the players find a caravan in the middle of the wilderness, their psychology is immediately balanced, with the men in the front row making deep footprints in the snow. The one behind followed by stepping on and stepping, so that the originally soft snowflakes melted. However, under the extreme bottom temperature, the snow water quickly condensed and turned into a thin layer of ice.

And the wheels of the carriage will inevitably slip under such circumstances. You have to be supervised to move forward. Then rows of garlic clove-like ice seedlings were erected, and the men at the back of the palace stepped on them to make a clangling metal sound. The whole team was on the snow, like a snow plow, driving a road with white and brown interspersed with white and brown to the distance. But the snowflakes that fell quickly buried the road that had only appeared for a short time. It's as if it never existed.

The rangers, who were supposed to be scattered outside to guard, also huddled around the caravan at this time due to safety concerns. So much so that when the two teams found each other, the distance between the two sides was already very close - looking at the sudden appearance of the team, the caravan suddenly sounded the alarm bell of 'jingle bell'.
