Suddenly, the display of the magic instrument failed. Martin was so annoyed that he even felt the urge to drop the device.

Obviously, the goal should be in front of you, why is this so?

Sophia reached over to comfort Martin and took his hand that was red from the cold. "It may have just failed by accident. ”

"We're almost there. Said the Northland merchant who was in charge of leading the way. Originally, when he was in that fortress, he was the one who agreed to accompany Martin in his search for the holy relic for the money he had promised. He knew where the village Martin was looking for might hold the relics. Along the way, he was very careful to dodge, on the one hand, from the terrible enemy, and on the other hand, from Martin's group to listen to what they had to say.

Because this trader is very sensitive, he guessed that Martin's identity was not ordinary, and even smelled the dangerous side of Martin. He knew that if he knew too much, he might be killed. The dead do not bite the living. So he was very cautious to keep a certain distance from Martin and his party. Already lowering their presence.

And now, it's almost done. Of course, he has to come out and do his duty

Sure enough, led by the merchant, they came to a "path". The snow there has been hardened. It's much easier to walk.

"It's a bit of a mistake. Martin said. "Everyone, be on your guard!"

Martin noticed, and there seemed to be an air of battlefield presence.

Soon, they saw the smoke curling from the cooking, and when they turned around, the stockade was already close in front of them.

However, everyone has also noticed that there are traces of conquest everywhere.

The stockade is fairly strong. Trenches were dug all around, and sharpened wooden stakes were inserted into them. The excavated earth was piled on the inside of the trench and surrounded by a low wall. And there is a wall made of thick logs stuck in it. A typical Northland village. However, in some sections, the wooden walls were broken and blocked by makeshift filling. In some places the trenches were filled. The watchtowers erected behind the wooden walls are blackened. In other places, there are also traces of war.

"Looks like things are going to get a little tricky. "A village that has just fought will definitely be distrustful of outsiders. The anxiety caused by the failure of the display of the magic instrument hit my heart again, and I thought of Liukrisia, who was still sick in bed in the distance. Martin couldn't help but tighten his grip on the hilt of the scimitar.

But after a moment he relented. He's not as impulsive as he used to be. Not long ago, at the port of the Northlands, he had received a letter from that side that had been passed on by magical means, and Liukrisia's situation had not deteriorated. And he had just sent a letter to report his findings to Canian and the others.

The merchant went alone to contact the stockade. Martin and the others stopped a little farther away first. In the face of the northern stockade that has just fought, it is better not to stimulate the other party's nerves too much.

Sure enough, even a single foot merchant went over and alarmed the other party. Hordes of warriors rushed to the walls. Shooters armed with baleen crossbows also appear on the wooden towers. The footman hurriedly waved the white flag and tried to call out his name to the other party. In addition to surrendering, the white flag also means "peace comes, and there is no desire to go to war". The emissaries often flew white flags.

Seeing that it was an acquaintance, the northerners relaxed their vigilance. And he stood on the wall of the city and talked to and fro with the merchant who walked back and forth. Obviously, he is not at ease either. Fear is the enemy's spies. Martin couldn't help but wonder if the footman would be able to convince him.

But he got the job done. After a while, the trader, who was a little tired and sweaty from the negotiations, returned to Martin's side. Tell him that the other party promised to arrange for the leader to talk to him. The location is still where it was, and Martin can only take one person.

Obviously, the other party is not at ease, and is worried that the enemy will take advantage of this surprise attack and play a decapitation battle. Forced by circumstances, Martin could only agree.

If you bring someone...... Martin was thinking about who would be the right person to bring. This group of northerners who disobey discipline and flee far away to places beyond the control of the King of the North Sea may turn into robbers at any time. Although Martin is very strong, but the Northlanders are brave and good at fighting and there are many people, he may not be able to resist, after all, the strong posture of the berserker in the Northland team before is still vivid.

It's better to bring a strong guard. Martin ruled out Shirley first. A mage is not suitable for such an occasion, it takes time to recite a spell, and it is even more foolish to place a mage in a place where it is directly threatened by the enemy. She is better suited to stay in the rear and provide support when necessary. Then Martin eliminated Zari again. Not to mention that loiterers are also not suitable for head-on confrontation. It's just whether she will contribute at the critical moment or not.

So the choice should be one between Natasha and Sophia. After thinking about it, Martin chose Sophia anyway. I have to say that although Natasha is not good at archery, her melee kung fu is not bad, she can't dance with a saber, and she is also good at breaking heavy armor with an axe to open cans. But compared to Sophia's swordsmanship, it is far worse. Sophia's swordsmanship is so advanced that she can be compared to Canion. And as a paladin, Sophia's abilities can also work when necessary. Protect Martin when the other person turns the other side. And the paladins are also stronger and more able to withstand enemy attacks.

It's a dangerous job, though. But for the sake of Lyukrixia's safety, Martin chose Sophia to negotiate with him. Before leaving, he discussed the countermeasures with the few people left behind. If the opponent moves, the people behind will use arcane, bow and arrow, and crossbow to support. Martin also told Sophia to wear a helmet with chain mail that hung down like a veil to hide her amazing beauty. Avoid the other party from having any bad thoughts and the negotiation breaks down. Sophia has the appearance of a country and a city, and it is still possible for the other party to sacrifice a stockade in order to capture her.

Everything was arranged, and Sophia and Martin walked to the front of the stockade as each other had requested. Surrounded and protected by a large number of warriors, the leader of the opposing party, Holki, came out. I saw that he was tall, blond and blue-eyed, and his appearance was majestic. He wears a heavy chain mail coat made of winter wolf fur. Wears a helmet with double horns to prove his status as a leader.

"He's already made it clear what you want. Holkey said. "So, what can you bring us?"

"But with all due respect, as far as I know, the one I'm looking for is not in your stockade right now. Martin said that he had to lower the price first.

"Yes, but that doesn't mean I don't know where it is. Holkey smiled slyly, "In the face of the enemy, it should be a common choice to take the treasure away." ”

Martin cursed inwardly. And then he said, "Okay, so what do you need? gold, magic items, or something more practical?"

"I need you to help me with something. Holki said, "Now my men have to guard the stockade, and they can't get out." There are two things for you to choose from. The first thing is that my son, who was separated many years ago, was abducted by the Winter Wolves. Someone saw him haunting the wolves, can you bring him back?"

Bastard. Martin knew that the Winter Wolf was a magical creature that lived in cold regions. It is huge, evil by nature, and can breathe freezing air from its mouth. And smart. Smart enough to kidnap children and train them to be wolf children to help them complete some inconvenient tasks. Clearly, this is what happened to the chief's son.

The combat effectiveness of the Winter Wolf is very strong. And cruel and murderous. Even the uncrowned white dragons of the Northlands are sometimes attacked by them. Winter wolves are social animals, cooperate tacitly, and sometimes form alliances with frost giants. It's a very difficult opponent. In fact, one of the tricky things about the Winter Wolf is that it's so well adapted to the snow. For Martin and his party, it was a hostile environment to compete against. For the winter wolves, however, this is their home. As a Starhebinsey druid, Martin knew how the natives would take advantage of local conditions to fight off foreign invaders. If the season changes, dealing with the winter wolf will not be a problem for this line. But now it's hard. Winter wolves are able to resist cold attacks, and in today's harsh environment, the mage's arcane is also affected, and it is not suitable to use the fire arcane to deal with them. Warriors are required to wear thick coats to keep warm, which will drain their stamina and affect their agility during their movements.

"And what about the second thing?" asked Martin.

"Our stockade is under attack from the enemy, and you can see from it. Holkey said. "Of course, we don't expect you to destroy them. All you have to do is cut off their supply of awakening potions. ”

"Awakening agent!" Martin's eyes widened instantly. Why is it that the conditions he put forward are more difficult to deal with one by one!

There are berserkers in the Northlands. They will go berserk through rituals, chanting, drugs such as Berserker's Mushroom, and even self-mutilation. At this time, the combat power will soar. Martin has seen it too. However, the awakening agent is different. It can't directly create berserkers - after all, it is the strong man of the Northland, a cherished existence. However, the Awakening Potion can also allow ordinary warriors to exert greater combat effectiveness. Awakening agents can stimulate the nerve centers of people, so that soldiers on the battlefield are fearless of pain, ignoring hunger, thirst. Even resist drowsiness. It can also make people concentrate and be brave and fearless.

That's actually a drug. Martin knows the dangers of it. And in other countries, because of the consideration of the life of soldiers after the war, the awakening agent is rarely used. After all, high-level fighters are much more powerful than low-level fighters. It is more wasteful to use Awakening Potions on low-level fighters, while high-level fighters are more valuable and should not be destroyed by drugs. Therefore, awakening agents are more contraindicated.

The so-called drugs and other things, Martin has also been exposed to. You know, it's a hooligan not to talk about the dose. For example, opioids are contained in small amounts in cough tablets, and the effect is very good. And he himself chewed coca leaves and drank absinthe. He's even shared these things with a forbidden pleasure with Liukrisia. However, Martin is also well aware of the dangers of real drugs, and knows how dirty and shady it can be behind it. There is no doubt that this is even more dangerous.

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————I'm sorry, but it's slow to update.

There is always a lot of anti-drug propaganda, but I still want to emphasize here that we reject drugs. Don't talk about willpower, one of the disadvantages of drugs is that they destroy people's willpower. It's like an armor-piercing attack against heavy armor. What I want to emphasize here is that soft drugs are also very harmful, because many people will try soft drugs and think that it is no more than that, so they try more powerful hard drugs, and the end is very miserable. One of the dangers of soft drugs is precisely how harmless they are. In addition, not to mention the dosage, it is a hooligan, licorice cough tablets, which really contain opium. Eat it by the meter and you'll be fine. But if you eat too much, you will still become addicted, and it will be very serious! It's like smoking a lot.

Don't touch marijuana or anything. It's a hooligan not to talk about the dose. According to the inspection, the "virulence" of marijuana smoked has become stronger and stronger because of artificial selection, dozens of times more than ordinary marijuana. So marijuana is also dangerous.

There are so many addictive things that can be smoked, and some of them are close to you and me. In order to avoid curiosity leading someone to try, I won't go into specifics here. The coca leaf that Martin ate in the text has been used by South American Indians for thousands of years, and it is legal in some countries in modern times. It was included in Coke back then. But regardless of the dose, it is a hooligan, and after purification, it is terrible cocaine.

Drugs are terrible, and many people who you think are quitting drugs may actually switch to the so-called "drug rehabilitation" provided by the government to maintain a normal life. And you may continue to suck at any time

These words must be said.

After a long time, I finally got my driver's license, and I am very happy. In fact, the subjects are all passed at one time, but the driving school is too far away to be too lazy to learn.

It's been a long time since I've been chasing animations.,Some animations like "Magical Girl Breeding Plan", "100% Psionic Energy", and "Leisurely Daily King" even broke off when you watched it. But I read more comics. I've watched quite a few at Anime House lately. For example, "Grandma's Heart Girl Hinata", "Cat Plain", etc., are all good works.

Some time ago, I made up the six Star Wars parts.

This year, we are planting berries again, and we have selected three types. Now it seems that it is still successful, and it is a good thing that the cultivation is much earlier than last year. But waiting for the fruit to reach your mouth is the real victory.

The pulling distance of archery is not fixed, and it is really difficult to change if it is not in place.

Why is sadness related to coldness? I have experience, I feel. Every year. Alas. Spring and autumn twice.
