Chapter 363: Wine Country

Could it be that this is the case, the person designed to poison the Snow Maiden and take the opportunity to steal the Eye of the Storm, but because the Snow Maiden is the princess of the Snow Country. Don't you dare to kill her like this, so let us know about citrine and lead us to the country of glass?

If that's the case, wouldn't Luda be the most suspicious?

However, this is all just my speculation, but I have a hunch that we are not far from the truth.

Through my contact with the king these days, I found him to be very knowledgeable and knew a lot of things. And I've seen some words in books. There were no commentaries and they were very obscure, and they were extremely difficult to read, so I took the opportunity to ask the king for advice, and he was able to answer them all. This time, I not only mastered several spells, but also learned more ways to control the ghost qi, which really benefited me a lot, so I also stayed in Liuli Country for two more days.

On this day, I asked the king for advice with a word I didn't understand, and the king was about to answer for me, when the herald of Liuliguo suddenly came to see me in a panic.

"Qiqi Majesty, there is news that Kang Jiawei has encountered a rare snowstorm."

When the king heard this, he immediately got up from his seat. Very anxious, "How is this possible?!" ”

The herald couldn't explain why, except that the ambassador had sent a letter asking for help.

I saw that they were anxious, so I asked where Kang Jiawei was in Liuli Country.

The king shook his head, "Kang Jiawei does not belong to the Liuli Kingdom, but a region bordering the eastern part of our country. ”

"Since it's not my own territory. Why are you in such a hurry? ”

"Xiaohu, do you know, although this Kang Jiawei is not our territory, but it is very developed in both agriculture and commerce, and it is one of the important towns in the north of the evil ghost world, and the most worth mentioning is that Kang Jiawei is also a famous wine producing area, and the wine produced there is extremely mellow, and it is quite famous in all parts of the evil ghost world."

"If the crops in the fields are destroyed because of this snowstorm, and the guide can't make wine, I'm afraid that all the drunkards in the evil ghost world will be sad when they hear it." The King spoke in a playful tone, but I could sense that he had other concerns.

I asked the king, "Except for wine, is there no other reason for Kang Jiawei to worry the king so much?"

He told me that Kang Jiawei is located in an extremely special position, which is the throat of the four great powers connecting the east, south, west and north, and has been a piece of fat that all countries want to annex since ancient times. Although the resources are abundant, the perennial war still leads to the withering of the people's livelihood in the area, and the ghost people finally can't stand it and declare independence, they do not call themselves 'country' to the outside world, and the leaders are also elected, and the term of office is not lifelong, and it is not hereditary.

The surrounding powers saw that they could not monopolize Kang Jiawei, but they also did not want other countries to seize it, so they were happy to let it remain neutral, but behind the scenes, the countries still tried to infiltrate their own forces, so this has always been a sensitive area of politics.

"Your Majesty, this snowstorm is very strange, Kang Jiawei never expected such a disaster, so he was unprepared, I hope Your Majesty will quickly order support."

After hearing this, the king's brows were about to twist into twists, and he said that he was afraid that there would be a vision in the sky, so he immediately ordered to go down, immediately prepare disaster relief materials, and send them to Kang Jiawei immediately.

I can hear that the king suspects that there is something strange about this snowfall, and secondly, he is worried that he will not be able to respond to the disaster in time, and will be preempted by other countries, and lose the power of the Liuli Kingdom in this place.

The herald went down after receiving the order, and I guess the king must be busy with the matter, so he will retire first.

After taking my leave of the king, I walked straight to our lodgings, which sounded very strange, not like a simple natural disaster, although the king did not know, but when the herald spoke of the blizzard, I immediately thought of the eye of the storm, and I thought that there must be something to do with it.

I hurried back to find the others, and told them what I had heard from the king, and the Snow Maiden immediately said that she agreed with my suspicion. Hugh Huan's famous brother.

I remember Ling Xiao saying before that after the death of the one-eyed dragon's brother, the eye of the storm will not be able to exert its maximum effect, even in the hands of the Snow Maiden, it is probably impossible to make such a wide area produce snowfall.

However, Ling Xiao disagreed, "Fourth brother, you have to know that this is the Evil Ghost Realm, a lot of common sense in the Evil Ghost Realm will not work here, in my opinion, the Eye of the Storm was stolen by a neighbor of Kang Jiawei, and their purpose is to use the Eye of the Storm to disrupt the balance of power in this area in order to achieve their own expansion goals." ”

It seems that no matter what, we should investigate this matter clearly, and maybe we can catch the murderer who poisoned the Snow Maiden.

Now that I had made up my mind, I told the king of our intentions, and the king naturally agreed to our request to leave, and arranged for us to set off with the relief team of the Glass Country, so that we could take care of it on the way.

Before leaving, the king also prepared warm leather clothes and warm drinks for a few of us, and Red Flame and Black Flame have been staying together for the past few days, and now seeing that they are about to separate from each other again, I can't bear it.

As soon as we were ready, we set off and followed the team all the way east, walking for about half a day, when the officer leading the team pointed to a big mountain in front of us and told me, and on the other side of the mountain was Kang Jiawei.

When we walked out of the valley, there was heavy snow like goose feathers in the sky, and the snow on the ground was already thick beyond the horses' hooves, but when we turned to look at the glass country on the other side of the canyon, it was not affected by this weather at all.

Could it be that there is also a saying in the demon world that 'a mountain is divided into four seasons, and ten miles are different in the sky'? No, King Liuli once said that there is a vision in the sky, and this matter is not so simple.

As we walked farther and farther, the snow fell heavier and heavier, and I even saw a frozen stag on the side of the road, a cold that even a large animal could not resist, and the crops in the field were terrible

Fortunately, there are warm clothes given to us by the king, and I don't know what kind of animal skin they are made of, which is warm and breathable, and it is very light to wear.

The officer came up to me with his hat on his sleeve and told me that there was a farm not far ahead, that they were going to transport some of their supplies there, and that we could choose to stay or follow them on. I nodded at him, thinking I'd ask the others for their opinions.

When we arrived at the first farm, the owner of the farm, an old man, enthusiastically took us to the grain depot first, because the nearby ghosts had received the news in advance, and they were all waiting there to receive the relief materials.

Ling Xiao and the three girls were helping to distribute the supplies, and the big head and I were chatting with the old man on the side, and the big head was very curious to ask, are all the crops planted by Kang Jiawei used to make wine?

When it came to wine, the old man looked very proud, "Little brother, you have just arrived in the evil ghost world, our Kang Jiawei is known as the 'wine country', whether it is planted in the field or borne on the tree, except for his own food, the rest is all used to make wine, from the princes and nobles, down to the ruffians and hooligans, the entire evil ghost world drinks the wine from us." ”

But looking at the empty grain depot in front of me, I asked the old man what was going on.

Hearing my question, the old man looked embarrassed and told me that because the crops were growing very well this season, he sent all the grain in stock to the winery, and several large farms in Kang Jiawei did this, originally they thought that the grain depot would be filled again after the harvest, but this sudden snowstorm completely overturned their wishful thinking.

"It's about to be harvested, and if this season's crops are frozen to death, there will be no wine to brew!"

After speaking, the old man showed a sad expression, I used to be a baby who grew up in the countryside, and I know very well how important the crops in the field are to the farmers who rely on the sky to eat, but the first thing that this old man thought of was not the ration problem of his own family, but the wine, which is really worthy of being a person from the 'wine country'.

"Hey, why is there a box of dim sum missing in this car?" Hearing Yujie's voice, I couldn't help but walk over.
