Two small black dots, wriggling on the icefield where the cold wind howled.

"Isabella, ahead, in half an hour there is a deserted lighthouse, we can rest. ”

The girl behind the man snorted dissatisfiedly, "If it weren't for someone who lost the ticket, we should have had a caviar feast in the warm first class by now, right?"

Duck touched his head embarrassedly: "Ahahaha, people have the wrong hand, okay, don't stare at me, let's go." ”

"That's a ticket for the Titan! The hugest, most beautiful, and most expensive mega cruise ship ever made by man, and it's hard to buy a ticket!

"I just can't get used to the poor painter's face. Well, well, let him smug for a moment. Maybe that ship will—"

"Shut up, are you cursing something?"

"Uh, well, I won't say that. Actually, Lala, I'm not going to curse, to be honest, that ship has too little life-saving equipment, and the official answer turned out to be 'the unsinkable ship doesn't need life-saving equipment', so I'm very worried......"

"Can a loser stop chattering? Pour a cool breath into your stomach, and I won't rub it for you when it hurts. ”

Duck spread his hands helplessly: "Okay, but I will definitely let you eat the best caviar." ”

"Okay, okay, I didn't mean that, it's not like I haven't eaten caviar, don't fight with others in the future, use inappropriate ways to divide the winners and losers, it's not glorious to win, and it's even worse to lose, right?"

Duck laughed, "Ah, ah, that's right - are you cold?"

The girl smiled: "There is a big stupid cow in front of the wind, and it is not cold." ”

According to the route planned before departure, the two will take the "Titan" to the capital of the North Sea, Jacqueque, contact George's friends, get the Ice Slime and return to Alcatraz, and the mission is complete. Unexpectedly, Darke had an extraneous branch, and he gambled with others on the dock to win or lose, and lost the ferry ticket. Then, the two were embarrassed to find that the flight to Jagenk was all sold out. According to the sequence of two people queuing, it will have to wait until next month.

So, Duck decided to take a different approach. Travel overland through the Wuthering Ice Fields, cross the Kergomo Strait, and find a boat in Northford, a satellite city of Jacqueque. If it is fast, it will arrive in about 12 days.

Now their destination is the Kergomo Strait, southeast of the Wuthering Ice Field.

The Strait of Kegmo was originally one of the important shipping lanes in the North Sea, with an endless stream of large and small ships, but in the past hundred years, with the advancement of ship technology and the opening of artificial canals, this channel has gradually been abandoned and has become a paradise for pirates. Later, as Jagenk rose to prominence, large groups of pirates were wiped out, smaller groups of pirates fled the country, and the inhabitants moved to satellite towns near Jagenk. Except for the occasional smuggler, the place has finally fallen silent and returned to its original appearance before the appearance of humanity: cold, lonely, with an eternal howling cold wind, a frozen dark blue sky, and a surging black wave.

The two of them traveled on the vast ice field for two days, except for a few blind ice wolves and frost rabbits, there were no living creatures, only the whistling wind and fluttering snowflakes.

Half an hour later, as the wind and snow faded, a ruined lighthouse came into view.

The exterior walls of the lighthouse are mottled and broken, and in some places the iron bars used to reinforce the anchors are exposed, and the watchtower at the top has collapsed in a piece, showing signs of repair, but not repaired. It's daylight, I can't see the fire, I don't know if anyone is there.

Duck sighed, "Without a ship, there would be no need for a lighthouse. If anyone were to light it, it might be considered to be facilitating smugglers, right?"

Isabella also said: "Jacques is hard to come by, but it's deserted. It's hard to imagine that this is less than a hundred kilometers away. ”

"Ah, at the end of the earth, there is loneliness and desolation. ”

"So, is it hope to turn back?"

"But I still want to eat caviar. ”

The two laughed and knocked the gate of the lighthouse.

The sound of emptiness echoed in the cold and silent land, heard far away, and then disappeared into a cold wind and cold mist.

"Nobody, but the door is locked. ”

"Try again, and no one will answer me and knock the door open – it's better than standing in the snow and blowing the wind. ”

Duck said, clenching his fists and slamming three times on the thick wooden door, "Is there anyone?

No one answered. Duck decided to slam the door open, and he took a dozen steps back, getting ready, and running.

Just as his shoulder was about to hit the door panel, a huge skull suddenly fell from the lintel and roared in a hoarse voice: "Get out!"

Duck shuddered, turned on one side, hit his head on the door panel, slipped under his feet, and fell to the ground with his butt: "Oh, shit!"

The skull was carved out of ice, with hollowed-out eye sockets, two red-painted light stones inside, and a small communication circle carved into the mouth, capable of speaking simple language - or someone manipulating it from behind.

Dack was angry, jumped up and punched over: "I'll let you- oh oh oh!"

The blue light crackled, and Duck fell for the second time.

Isabella was shocked: "Dark!"

Duck shuddered and got up, "I, it's okay! Dat, electric circle, alchemist!"

The skull roared a second time: "Get out!"

Isabella said, "It seems that the people in the tower don't welcome us in. Let's go. ”

"It's getting late, I don't want to sleep in the wilderness anymore, borrow a day, what's the matter?" Duck raised his voice, "Friends inside, we have no ill intentions, we just want to borrow for one night!"

"Get out!"

"Eight hours. ”

"Get out!"

"Six?"

"Get out!"

Duck turned around and smiled, "Got it, this thing has a sensing circle that speaks whenever it detects voice, and it only says get out of here - I'll let it roll right away." Lala, you go back. ”

Isabella was puzzled: "What are you going to do?"

"It's a silly and cute alchemist to attach an electric magic circle to the ice ** thing, I'll add some material to him - go back, don't look at it. ”

Isabella turned her back to Duck, "Is that okay?"

Duck laughed wickedly, then heard Suosuo's voice, not knowing what he was doing. Immediately afterward, there was a bang.

"Duck, what are you doing?"

"I'll add some spice to it......"

Before Duck could finish speaking, there was a sudden loud bang, and the skull exploded to pieces, Duck wailed, and his huge body was pushed out by the air wave, and he plunged into the snowdrift: "Oh, no, damn it!"

Isabella hurried over and dragged him: "What's wrong with you, what's wrong with you!"

"No, no, no, I'm fine, don't drag, don't drag, I'll put on my pants first. ”

"What good did you do!"

Duck laughed again, pulled his head out of the snowdrift, and said, "I released it, and the electric magic circle encountered water and exploded." I didn't expect it to be so powerful, miscalculated. ”

When Isabella heard this, she looked back and saw that the skull had been blown into crushed ice slag and scattered all over the ground, mixed with the yellowish fishy smell of the east and west pools, and was still steaming.

Seeing this, how could she not know what Duck had done, laughing and angry, and kicking Duck's ass: "I'm going to kill you, it stinks!"

Duck laughed, stepped forward, kicked the door open, and said, "Okay, there's no one inside, let's go in!"

A dry little old man with a height of less than one and a half meters blocked the narrow foyer, glared at the two viciously, and said, "Get out!"
