The temperature in the royal capital dropped sharply in the last few days of December, and the snow became heavier and heavier.

In the early morning, the west gate of the city wall was covered by a quarter of the night of heavy snow, and the road surface was covered so tightly that the gate was completely impassable.

The carriages and horses that were about to enter the city in the morning were blocked at the door.

Soldiers of the city guard, armed with whips and sticks, drove the thinly clothed slaves to sweep the roads. The soldiers were so cold that they didn't even bother to whip them, and the slaves were so cold that they were about to die.

Not far from the door, there was a line of two wagons and five wagons. These carriages are solid and innovative, and the wagons are also covered with roofs to protect them from the wind and rain. In the convoy, the drivers of each car were dressed very thickly, which was in stark contrast to the trembling peers in the surrounding vehicles. Beside and in the carports behind the coachmen, there were a number of heavily armed warriors, most of them wearing uniform plate armor and draped in large hats.

The strength of this team is undoubtedly one of the best among the vehicles in the queue, and it inevitably arouses the peeps and envy of the vehicles in front and behind.

Anyone with the slightest discerning can tell that this is a convoy from a powerful family. Someone found that the coat of arms on the carriage was a round coat of arms with ribbons and ears of wheat on a red background and gold edges, but Rao was a well-informed man who traveled from south to north and south, and no one recognized this emblem.

"This is the convoy of the Black Mountain mage. Finally, a coachman from the northwest told the riddle, "Haven't you heard of glass and porcelain? Black Mountain Sword, Black Mountain Armor has always heard of it, right? ”

"I know that the liquor they produce is popular throughout the northern part of the kingdom. The aristocrats went crazy. That's a good thing, it's hot in one bite, and it's okay to take your clothes and go to this snow. Another driver said.

His words caused everyone to burst into laughter.

"You know. A man in charge said, "These are all goods that were available two months ago, and now the most popular among adults are Chinese paper and Chinese pens." ”

"What kind of country is China?"

"These mages in Montenegro are from China, and they call themselves Chinese. Their castle can fly through space...... Hey, you don't understand, anyway, it's the boss. Their pen and paper are much better than the parchment rolls and quill pens that everyone usually uses. Now our young ladies use that to write poems, otherwise they are embarrassed to exchange with other ladies. The steward said triumphantly.

"I don't know how much the contents of these five big cars are worth. Someone said enviously.

"Anyway, it's not worth selling the rest of our car with people. The steward said.

"Such a fat sheep, how come there are no horse thieves to worry about, and they came to the royal capital safely. ”

"Why not?" retorted the first coachman from the northwest, "and a few months ago the king of horse thieves in our area, Cadiz, had a thousand horse thieves to fight them. And guess what?"

"Nonsense, of course the mages won. The steward said.

"Yes, but they must have lost a lot, thousands of horse thieves, nothing like this before. The horse thief is really crazy, I'm afraid that the castle of the earl will not be able to withstand it, right?"

"Let me tell you, those horse thieves went to attack the castle of the Black Mountain mage, and they were wiped out by a few of their magic, and even the cadiz, who was known as a high-ranking warrior, was smashed into meatloaf by a meteorite falling from the sky. ”

"Those mages can still summon meteorites?" Most of the coachmen around were excited, and there was nothing better than listening to such nonsense stories to pass the time.

"Of course, since then, anyone who wants to fight them has to weigh it. However, there are still those who can't open their eyes, does the God of War Temple know?"

"Shhhhh The steward said nervously.

"If you don't dare to listen, just go aside. The coachman said angrily, "How can there be priests and priests of the temple here? ”

"That's it, this kind of heaven is just us who are bitter haha. The other guard chimed in.

The steward pursed his lips, but he was reluctant to go far, and took two steps back to the side, still pricking up his ears to listen to the coachman's nonsense.

"Those people under the pseudo-gods are naturally also jealous of the wealth of these mages. They secretly sent people to set fire to the mage's castle, trying to take advantage of the chaos to snatch the money! But where is the Montenegrin mage so easy to deal with? The fool who infiltrated the castle was hanged before he could do anything. The teams that were about to rob were also blocked by the mages, and they all wiped them out. The mages were afraid that others would not know, so they specially spread the word that if anyone beat them up like these horse thieves and false god believers, they would be arrested, and not only them, but their families would also be found by the mages and hanged on the way into the city. ”

"They have hung up the believers of false gods?"

"Of course, I've been there to transport goods, and there's a stretch of way into their city where dead people are hanged. Ordinary people would be so frightened that they wanted to pee when they passed there, but my brother and I were bold enough to go in with my head held high. The coachman said proudly.

The people around him snickered, apparently not believing the coachman's words.

The coachman didn't care at all, he waved his hand and said, "Hey, don't say it, this method is very useful, and now no one dares to fight the idea of the Chinese." We ran the goods in the northwest, and everyone was grateful to them, which made our days outside much safer. ”

"No wonder I heard that on the royal capital, the Black Mountain mage has a very good relationship with the new royal capital priest, Lord Roland, and Lord Roland has even visited their newly opened shop in person. It turns out that they have contributed to the victory of the gods of nature over the false gods before. That's much better than mages who don't care about the brilliance of the gods. "The steward turned out to be a very devout believer.

Everyone was still going to discuss the anecdote of the Black Mountain mage, but they didn't expect a rumbling sound from the city gate.

When they looked back, they found that the sun had risen, and it had melted the snow on the towers, and the snow on the spires had slid downward, rolling down with the snow on the battlements, and the pile of snow had buried the two slaves who were carrying tools under the towers.

"Oops, these two guys are unlucky enough, I'm afraid this pressure is over. The storyteller sighed.

"No, it's good luck that the weather slaves can go back alive and not freeze to death. These two are just one step ahead, and after completing this road, it is estimated that several frail people will have to die. "The coachmen had some sympathy for the slaves.

But the soldiers who guarded the slaves were completely indifferent. They drove away a few slaves who wanted to save people and forced them to continue sweeping the roads.

While everyone was lamenting, the door of the second carriage of the Black Mountain convoy opened, and two women wrapped in furs stepped out of it.
