Chapter 5: The King's Trail
The dark clouds in the sky still rumbled in a low sound, and no one dared to move forward anymore.
"Let's go." The man said to Feathercliff and Quiton.
"Who are you?" Feather Cliff asked.
The man ignored him and just walked away on his own, as if the man didn't care if they followed or not.
"Cliff, we need to keep up with him." Quitton said.
"Do you know him?" Feather Cliff asked.
"I don't know." Quitton said.
"Then you believe him?"
Feather Cliff was suspicious, they didn't know what this man was trying to do to save them.
"Don't you see? Thunder is controlled by him, don't you think this kind of scene is familiar? Quitton looked agitated as he spoke.
Ability to control nature...... This couldn't help but make Yu Ya think of the howling wind.
"You mean...... King. Yuya said.
"He must be a friend of our king." Quitton said.
People with this kind of abnormal god-like power must have some connection, and I have to say that the identity of "the king's friend" is indeed possible, could it be that their king is coming back?
The three of them walked in silence for a long time, and Feathercliff and Quiydon's attention was all on the man, who suddenly stopped, and he just stood there with his back to them.
"He stopped?" Quitton said.
"Well, I'll ask him." Feather Cliff took two quick steps closer to the man.
Yuya was about to ask this strange man in black cloth if he was the king's partner, but he didn't expect him to speak first.
"You two have something to do." The man's deep voice was very clear.
"What's the matter?" Quiton and Feather Cliff asked almost at the same time.
"Go to Snowy City and find your king."
"What! Is the king there? Quiton was afraid he had misheard.
Snow Castle is further north than Canglan City, known as the Polar Fortress, and is the front line of the northern country's defense against the frozen beasts.
"Wang ......"
Yu Ya was stunned, but he just blinked, and the black figure that was still in front of him just now disappeared.
The man was gone in an instant!
"This ...... Quiton, do you see how he left? ”
"No, I should have just wandered?" Quiton was also confused, he thought he was dazzled.
"He wants us to go to Snow Castle, should we go or not?" Feather Cliff asked.
"Of course." Quitton was still a little excited.
"Wait, where are we now?" Yu Ya realized the problem, they hadn't paid attention to it before, they had just followed the man in the black cloth and walked all the way, and now they found out that both sides of this place were already wooded areas, but they came out of the Canglan City prison, they didn't remember that they had ever been out of the Canglan City gate, why did they suddenly end up in such a forest road?
A boulder engraved with the word "snow" on the side attracted Quiton's attention.
"I seem to remember here, this is the cargo passage in the north of Canglan City, which is used by the army to transport supplies to Xueluo City." Quitton said suddenly.
"And this stone ...... This should already be the end of the road, so there should be ...... ahead" Quitton suddenly ran forward.
Seeing this, Yuya immediately followed.
The two of them ran for a minute, and the forest path came to an end, and a magnificent city gate stood in front of them, a white city covered with snow - Snow Castle.
"Snowy City......" Quiton was a little speechless.
"What! Got to Snowy City? Feather Cliff was very surprised.
Xueluo City was a full ten days away from Canglan City, and they had followed that man for less than an hour, so how could they have arrived?
What the hell is that man? This question couldn't help but come to the minds of the two.
"I have helped this fate, and it is up to him whether he can really go against the sky." In a strange and dark place, the man draped in black cloth was looking at the broken book in his hand.
……
The city was not a city for civilians to live and work in, as it was called, the Polar Fortress, a gathering place for mercenaries and soldiers built by the imperial court to fight against the monsters that invaded the polar regions.
It is very chaotic here, the imperial court did not choose to manage it personally, the imperial court will only send materials here on a regular basis, and the management power here all falls on one person, he is known as the first master of the northern kingdom - Wu Tian, the king of war, it is said that the emperor does not dare to restrict him too much, and he still holds nearly half of the military power in the northern country.
The south gate of Xuelu City has not been closed at all, and there are no guards, because there is no need for this, ordinary people will not come here at all, there is no management here and there are not too many laws, and those who come here are some outlaws and fugitive prisoners, Wu Tian does not care about taking them in, because Xuelu City will always lack soldiers.
There are a lot of liquor shops in Snowy City, as the wine can help the warriors dispel some of the cold.
Feather Cliff led Quiton to a liquor shop, which was relatively deserted compared to the others, perhaps due to their dim environment, with only a few candles burning in the liquor shop, and the faint light making the whole liquor shop extremely dark.
However, Feather Cliff and Quiton just wanted to find a quiet place to rest, and this deserted shop just weighed their hearts.
"A good glass of wine." Feather Cliff shouted.
"Two of you are new to Snow Castle?" Xiao Er came up and asked.
"Why do you say that?" Quitton asked.
"No, nothing." Xiao Er hurriedly opened the topic.
"By the way, Xiao Er, I'll ask you about someone." Yu Ya stuffed some silver taels into Xiao Er's hand.
"Alas, you say, guest officer." Xiao Er took the money, not to mention how happy he was.
"In the past three years, has there been a teenager in Xueluo City who has come here?" Quitton said.
"Teenage kids...... Yes, what is your relationship with him? Xiao Er's eyes changed when he saw them.
"We are ......"
"Someone entrusted us to find him."
Quiton was about to say that he was his subordinate, but Feathercliff snatched his words.
"Well, then you may have to return in vain." Xiao Er said.
"What do you mean by that?"
"The kid was two years old, but he didn't like some of the ...... in the snow city custom, so he angered Wu Tian, you must know that Wu Tian is the recognized boss of Xuelu City. ”
"And then?"
"Although he was just a child, Wu Tian had never been a benevolent administrator, and he expelled that child from Xuelu City and ...... North Gate. ”
"North Gate!"
As we all know, the north side of Xuelu City is frozen ground, which is a realm where the weak eat the strong, and banishment from the north gate is almost equivalent to death.
"You shouldn't be able to find him." Xiao Er said.
"We got it." Yu Ya said.
"Why don't you stay here for the night?"
"Okay."
At night, Quiton and Yuya were actually not so worried, their king should not be afraid of those frozen beasts, but Xiao Er's words have always made Yuya very concerned, the king's strength can be worth thousands of troops, but why was he expelled by these people? Could it be that the king left voluntarily? Or is the person Xiao Er said not the king he is looking for at all? There are still many questions that remain unanswered......
I can't sleep tonight.
