Chapter 151 Welcome to the Drought and Cold World
"Hey, have you heard? something big happened in the Arc Mountains not long ago!"
"Your information is not accurate enough, I have reliable information, the accident is not the Arc Mountains, but the Absolute Zero Lake surrounded by the Arc Mountains!"
"What! Absolute Zero Lake, one of the ten murderous places in the Three-Day Domain?"
"Of course it's there, that's the kind of place where big news can happen!"
"So, what the hell is the news? Tell us about it!"
"Listen up! Ahem! It is said that in the Absolute Zero Lake, there is a very powerful treasure, as long as you get that treasure, your cultivation can be greatly improved, and you can even inflict heavy damage on your opponent when you use it in battle!"
"Where is such a powerful treasure? How do we not know?"
"Tell me quickly, what treasure is so powerful?"
"It's not very clear what the specific treasure is, after all, it's a family business, and it's not difficult to find out what we don't know. ”
"So what the hell is going on?"
"There are two alliances of families! Both heard the news of this treasure, so they formed an alliance to go to the Absolute Zero Lake to compete for that treasure. ”
"Why don't these two families cooperate together?"
"Silly! These two families must be opposed. ”
"Oh!"
"So in the end, that treasure was acquired by one of the family alliances?"
"Nope. ”
"What?!"
"The people of the two family alliances discovered the treasure almost at the same time, at this time, the two alliances naturally fought against each other, and the two alliances fought for three days and three nights, and the scene was ...... Just as the two alliances were fighting each other, two winged men suddenly flew out of the arc mountain range......
"Winged man? No, isn't that a birdman?"
"You don't understand this, right! The three-day domain is big, there are many strange people, what are birdmen, maybe there are orcs!"
"Those two birdmen, taking advantage of everyone's inattention, took away that treasure!"
"Is that okay?"
"The two family alliances are still mad?"
"Any news of those two birdmen?"
......
This is where the Northern and Middle Regions meet.
The northern and central regions are separated by a wide river, which is called the "Drought and Cold Boundary".
The reason for the name is that the northern part of the river is a land of ice and snow, and the south of the river is a central region known for its drought.
It's strange to say that one side of the river is cold and the other side is dry.
The Drought and Cold Realm separates the entire Northern and Central Regions, so if you want to get from the Northern Regions to the Central Regions, you either have to take a detour or cross the river.
For this reason, a long time ago, a family, the Jiang family, established a river crossing station in the narrowest part of the river, and obtained a high income by carrying people on both sides of the river.
Because this is the most convenient place to travel between the two regions, many businesses have developed near the river crossing station on both sides of the river, and after a long time, this area on both sides of the river has quickly developed into a prosperous city.
The northern city of the drought and cold world, here is a matter of course, it still belongs to the northern region.
It's been almost twenty days since the Arc Mountains and Lake Absolute Zero happened, and no matter how hard the Maison tried to lock it down, there was still some news coming out more or less.
And because of the incomplete news, the story was even more bizarre.
This is a restaurant in the northern city of the drought and cold world. Because this is a place where the two regions come and go, there are many people, and the restaurant business is naturally good.
People who drink alcohol will naturally talk about gossip when they sit together, and the most attractive gossip thing recently is naturally the matter of the arc mountain range.
A drinker who thought he knew the whole story was loudly telling the other drinkers who were gathered around him what had happened.
"Well, what the hell is this? Two birdmen? There is only one of them with wings, and the other is a ...... who is carried."
At a small table not far from the chatting guests, a young man dressed in dark blue sat and listened quietly......
Listening to their story, the young man couldn't help but whisper, after all, he was the one who experienced the whole thing.
This young man is naturally slowly moving towards the southern region where the first day of the Rank Family Youth Douxuan Conference will be held.
Lu Shuangyang's plan is to leave the northern region through the drought and cold realm, and pass through the middle region to reach the southern region, where the host is held.
The ship from the Northern Regions to the Central Regions generally departs once a day, but I don't know what happened, it has been here for three days, and the ship still hasn't departed.
Lu Shuangyang, who was helpless, had no choice but to come to the restaurant here to drink casually.
Hearing others talk about what he caused some time ago, he listened curiously.
But the stories he heard seemed to be two different stories from those he had personally experienced...... Especially in the end, when only one person has wings, how can it become two? And the wings of the clouds are elegant, beautiful ice wings, how can they become birdmen?
Hearing this, Lu Shuangyang couldn't help but sigh, rumors, it's really a terrible thing, maybe a touching story can also be passed on as a tragedy.
"Whew!"
Lu Shuangyang sighed and looked in the direction of the Drought and Cold Realm...... He sat on the third floor of the restaurant, and he could see from a distance, where he could dimly see the riverbank in the middle of the region on the other side of the dry and cold world......
"Midfield...... When will it arrive?" Lu Shuangyang's expression was a little strange.
"Speaking of which, do you know why the ship hasn't been opened lately?"
The group of people who had just been discussing Lake Absolute Zero suddenly changed the subject.
Hearing this, Lu Shuangyang was also interested, although he was not in a hurry to leave, but he was still a little interested in why he couldn't navigate.
"Oh, you don't know that?" said the person who had just told the story, as if he knew everything.
"Okay, okay, don't sell it! The person next to me urges.
"Then the wine is running out......
"Xiao Er comes to three jars of good wine, count it on my account!" Another shouted.
Soon Xiao Er came up with three jars of wine, and the storyteller opened a jar of wine, filled a bowl of wine and drank it, taking a deep breath.
"This matter should have started half a month ago. The man began to speak, "We all know that the river crossing stations in the northern and central regions were created and operated by the Jiang family, and over the years, the Jiang family has become a first-class family by operating the river crossing station, and has promoted the birth of the northern and southern cities in the drought and cold world. ”
"We all know this, hurry up and say something useful. The man next to him urged.
"Think about it! The Jiang family has developed so well by relying on this river crossing station, other families will inevitably be jealous! They will also want to make money by relying on the river crossing station, but the fastest place to cross the river here has been occupied by the Jiang family......
"So?"
"Have you heard of the Xie family?"
"Xie family?!"
Hearing this Shuangyang, he was also stunned, he had an impression of the Xie family, when he was in the Arc Mountain Range before, he remembered that there was an alliance with the Han family called the Xie family.
"The Xie family is one of the great families in the Northern Regions, the Xie family has always spied on this river crossing station, and more than a year ago, the Xie family came to the Jiang family, hoping to get the ownership of this river crossing station...... Over the past year, the Xie family has put forward all kinds of tempting conditions, but they have all been rejected by the Jiang family. ”
Refusal is a matter of course, not to mention how much benefit this river crossing station can bring to the Jiang family, how to say that this is also an industry passed down by the Jiang family, and the Jiang family will not just let it out.
"After all, the Xie family doesn't want to be too nervous, and has always resorted to the method of inducement, but the Jiang family just doesn't agree. The storyteller drank another bowl of wine, "But half a month ago, the Xie family began to change its policy, giving up the lure and adopting coercion. ”
"In recent years, the Jiang family has mainly developed the economy, and has not mainly developed combat power, so it is very high in terms of financial resources, but it is far inferior to the Xie family in terms of combat power...... The Xie family's people dressed as ordinary passers-by and made trouble near the ferry station, making it impossible for the Jiang family to carry out the business of crossing the river station. ”
"I see......"
Hearing this, Lu Shuangyang already had a general understanding of what had happened.
Before, he was still thinking about why the current head of the Xie family didn't participate in the affairs of the Arc Mountain Range but let the previous head of the family go, presumably the current head of the family was busy with this, after all, if he won the right to use the river crossing station, the benefits obtained would be no worse than those obtained from the Arc Mountain Range.
The storyteller said that the Xie family changed their attitude half a month ago...... Half a month ago, it wasn't long after the Arc Mountain Range......
At that time, the Xie family was pitted very badly by the Han family, and the Xie family suffered a huge loss in the Arc Mountain Incident...... I'm afraid that the reason why the Xie family gave up the lure and chose the coercion method was probably to get the right to use the river crossing station to make up for the loss in that incident!
"I didn't expect the matter to be over, and there are still so many troubles to happen......"
Speaking of which, now that I can't go to the Middle Regions through the river crossing station, it has something to do with me.
Lu Shuangyang stood up, now that he knows the reason for the matter, then he doesn't have to think about it, go back and rest for a while, and wait until the affairs of the Xie family and the Jiang family are dealt with, it will be over, anyway, there is still a lot of time, just speed up a little after going to the Central Domain.
Lu Shuangyang slowly returned to the inn where he was......
The inn where Lu Shuangyang is located is the best inn in the northern city of the drought and cold world, with good decoration, good service and expensive fees.
But when it comes to money, Lu Shuangyang is not lacking, I think he made a lot of money from the auction in Beihan City, this money is enough for him to spend lavishly until the conference starts, take a step back, even if he spends all this money, he can still take the spiritual objects in his storage bracelet and sell them for another money.
Back at the inn, it was already dark, Lu Shuangyang's room was not lit, and it was pitch black......
"Crunch ......"
Lu Shuangyang softly pushed the door in...... But as soon as he stepped into the room, Lu Shuangyang's relaxed nerves suddenly tensed again.
He could feel a faint fluctuation of Xuan Qi in the room......
Someone sneaked into this room while he was away!
