Heavy snow began to rage again in the Black Forest, and Xiao Yan had been leading this mixed team of dwarves and mages for more than a month. It's not far from the Rose Collar, and at the current normal speed of 3 hours a day, it will be there in about half a month.

This winter, however, the snow fell heavier than usual, and the valley ahead was piled up higher due to the inaccessibility, and for now, the snow was almost as thick as a dwarf. Continuing to walk on such roads is not only time-consuming but also dangerous.

"You can't move forward unless you keep digging a slope."

That's Carpenter's analysis, and he goes on to say, "It's not difficult just to get on the slopes, it's hard because digging takes a lot of time, and it's getting harder and harder for us to camp." Moreover, the snow is not solid, and the snow walls on both sides will collapse at any time, and repeated digging will delay more time. ”

"What do you suggest?"

Carpenter drew a topographic map on the ground and then said to Xiao Yan: "Pforzheim, we must take a detour, climb over a new ridge, and go down again from Pforzheim, where the temperature is higher and the snow will not be so thick." Then head northwest into Württemberg territory, from where it eventually turns into the Rose Territory. ”

"You're a living map, Carpenter, and I think, as you say, the mountain dwarves are definitely the most alive race in the Black Forest. With you, I don't even need a guide. ”

"Xiexie, your compliment, my lord, we mountain dwarves have our own pride in mountain survival."

"Well, then carry on this pride, I need your pride. Right now. and the future needs this pride. ”

Xiao Yan said. While turning his head to look at the peaks on either side. Q: "Such a mountain also looks difficult to climb. ”

"We can create an avalanche, like the one in Speyer, where the snow is thicker than Speyer, but it doesn't pose an uncontrollable danger. As long as enough snow has collapsed on the peak on the right, the mountain dwarves will have a way to climb over the peak. ”

Xiao Yan turned his head to look at the snow-covered mountain peak on his right, exhaled, and asked, "Are you sure you won't cause too much danger?" ”

"If we stay in the valley. The danger will only grow. ”

Hearing this, the brown-haired boy nodded, looked at the mountain peak on the right, and said, "Okay, you'd better be fully prepared first and put the shelter in place." The avalanche in the mountains may be more violent than we thought. ”

Seeing Carpenter leave in a hurry, Xiao Yan turned his head to look at another tree and said, "You seem to have a penchant for eavesdropping on other people's conversations, okay, let's talk about it." What are your thoughts? ”

Fernando Shi Ran walked out without any Hao Ran on his face. Looking at Fernando's face, Xiao Yan felt that if Fernando was a nobleman, he should also be able to get the Best Noble Award. At least in terms of thick skin, he is definitely the best among other nobles.

"It's not enough, my lord, I mean, just making noise isn't enough to make the peaks on either side of the mountain an avalanche of sufficient weight. The way up the mountain is more difficult than the way down. ”

Fernando turned his head to look at the peak on the right, and continued: "Unless, choose a direction and bombard the snow there, hitting the lowest layer of snow, so that the snow layer of the entire mountain peak will be fundamentally broken." In this way, the avalanche can be very scary, but after the avalanche, most of the snow on the slopes will be removed, and the climb will be much easier. ”

Xiao Yan nodded slightly, Fernando's idea was good, but he lacked the necessary tools to implement it. He had seen it on TV in real Shijie that if you want to reach the bottom of such an avalanche, you have to bombard it with shells. And now Xiao Yan and they don't have any artillery now, according to the rules of the Shijie Tree, this trial Shijie will not allow epoch-making weapons to appear now.

"Use spell blasting," Fernando added, seeing the lord's thoughts, "The four-ring spell is enough to produce the result we want, the problem is that we have to get to the right place and cast the four-ring spell there. ”

Xiao Yan turned his head to look at the talkative mage, smiled slightly, and said, "It looks like you really want to try it." ”

"Experimentation and innovation are essential characteristics of every mage. My lord, I'm also curious about creating a terrible avalanche. ”

"It's not your turn, Fernando, it's the lord's job, not yours."

Xiao Yan said calmly, then turned to the dwarven camp and shouted, "Carpenter, I need a dwarf who is good enough to carry me up the mountain and dig a shelter that is strong enough. ”

After coming out of the dwarven camp and understanding the lord's meaning, Carpenter replied seriously: "I wish I went, but I will take care of the dwarves and let Tulaman go with you, he is a good miner, the best one." ”

"Anyway, please be careful."

"If you're in a good enough position, then it's you and not me who should be careful."

Xiao Yan muttered as he walked towards the dwarven camp and continued, "This avalanche is very terrible, you may have to be buried under the snow for a while, so you must have enough food. Make as few fires as possible and try to leave a ventilation duct in the event of an avalanche. Oh, well, you should know more about this than I do. Anyway, give me a haode to calibrate the position first. ”

The next morning, Xiao Yan and the dwarf named Tulaman began to ascend the mountain. On the surface, most dwarves look the same, mainly because their beards cover most of their faces, and the range of distinctions that can be used to distinguish them has become very small, at most they can only be distinguished by their noses or eyes. Accordingly, the dwarves will wear their beards and hair to distinguish themselves from the others. The dwarf, named Tulaman, had pigtails and, just from behind, had the air of one of the American basketball players. Staying with such a dwarf, Xiao Yan felt that his height had invisibly risen a lot.

However, Tulaman was not a rapper, and to be exact, all dwarves were not good at communicating with humans, and often gave the impression of being taciturn. Compared to the broken-mouthed Fernando, Tulaman was more like a stone of action.

But this stone is definitely a good stone, the thick snow does not affect Tulaman very much, and he can always find those roads that are relatively dry and safe. This is a rough road, but it is faster. Compared with dwarves like Tulaman, Xiao Yan, who has survival experience on TV and half a year of living experience in the Black Forest, can only be described as weak.

Since there was no other person to drag them down, and there was no need to think about the problem of shelter for the time being, the two people moved quickly. In almost a morning, the two of them climbed the hill not too far from the marked site. By this time, the trees were much scarcer, the snow had become a little precarious, and the sound of "squeaking" could be heard around at any time.

"This year's snow was thicker than at any time in my memory, and spring in the Black Forest can be very cold."

Tulaman said suddenly, the two of them were resting on a tree stump, it was Xiao Yan's masterpiece, and in a flash of light, a big tree fell. This sight did not make Tulaman envious, and the taciturn dwarves were more concerned about the snow around them.

"A famine that could break out at any moment."

Xiao Yan agrees with Tulaman's words that the melting snow will absorb a lot of heat, the trees will grow later than usual, the herbivores will be starved of food, and the entire Black Forest food chain will be seriously affected.

After thinking about it, Xiao Yan continued: "A terrible flood, no, such a flood can occur in the entire Black Forest region. ”

Tulaman was not surprised by the perception of the lord, or that the dwarves had become numb to the miracle that happened to little Fryman, similar to Bishop Gogel, so the pigtailed dwarf asked bluntly, "How is the Rose Collar?" ”

Xiao Yan thought for a while and said, "There are pastures near the Rose Collar, so it shouldn't be affected too much. ”

"Hopefully it's a good place."

Hearing Tulaman's emotion, Xiao Yan laughed, and he said, "It doesn't matter, it's not a good place, I want to make it better." ”

Tulaman looked at his lord, and after a while, laughed as well, and said, "You are really a haode human noble. ”

"I'd be happier if you didn't praise it like that."

Xiao Yan replied, then looked at the hillside in front of him, and said, "Let's go, finish our business as soon as possible, and then wait there for the dwarves to come up." We still have a long, long way to go. ”

It turns out that no matter how sophisticated the planning is at a distance, the actual effect is often affected.

When Xiao Yan and Tulaman arrived at the designated location, Tulaman began digging a cave to create a makeshift campsite, and Xiao Yan immediately began to unleash the Four Rings spell. The spell cutting and blasting were both effective, and soon the snow began to loosen under Xiao Yan's feet. But the fluttering snow did not break or form a huge avalanche.

"There are still a few more spell releases laterally," Xiao Yan looked at the valley under his feet, the houses built by the dwarves vividly, he let out a long breath, and said, "I'll go for a walk elsewhere, you continue to dig." ”

"Please be careful, sir."

"I will, I will, if Carpenter can point me to a more haode blast point, I'll be safer than I am now."

Xiao Yan said as he walked horizontally towards the end of the snow break line, where he re-released several four-ring spells, and the sound of the snow breaking was louder, but there was still no sign of rolling down.

Xiao Yan sighed and walked a little farther away, about a hundred yards away, he performed his third spell release.

The entire snow layer finally broke completely, and a large amount of snow rolled down the mountain with a rumbling sound, Xiao Yan looked at this terrible avalanche, let out a long breath, and then turned his head, suddenly stunned.

"Hey, Tulaman, come and see, what is this?" (To be continued......)
