"Did you really just let them go?" said Natasha regretfully. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info"If you sell them as slaves, they'll be worth a lot of money!"

"I still want you to think about it," Zari chimed in, and she objected to letting the three captives go just like that. However, her reasons are completely different from Natasha's: "I think they are still dangerous. ”

"Husband, what do you care about these little things? I didn't come to the Northland to make a fortune, and I'm not afraid of them, this is the surface. Martin said firmly.

Seeing that Martin was so resolute, the two girls didn't say anything more, after all, Martin was the leader.

However, after they had traveled some distance, Martin quietly told them the truth, "I'm not going to take a detour, I'm going to go straight through the snow." It's too hard to put them on as prisoners. ”

"What, through the snow?" exclaimed Natasha and Zari together.

Yes, the snowy region, a miraculous land of extremely harsh conditions, has a reputation for both the wanderers of the earth and the nomads of the surface.

Legend has it that it was the goddess of ice and snow or some other existence with extraordinary power that created such a mysterious land in the Northland.

Northland is a place where water drips into ice, while the snowy region is colder there. Some people who entered there by chance were surprised to find that the breath they exhaled quickly turned into ice crystals and fell to the ground. In the Northland, there will be mild summers, but the snowy regions will not appear to grow up for a few harsh winters. Although the climate in the north is harsh, it is also settled here, cultivating land to grow crops, logging wood, boats, fishing. But in the snowy region, no one settles.

The snow was stuck at the northern end of the continent like a narrow plank, and he said in a mocking tone to the surrounding ice and snow, "Come and see me here!

In fact, extreme cold or winds that make it even more terrible are not the deadliest. The most lethal thing is that in the snowy region, ordinary magical power cannot be used at all.

Whether it's the priest's magic, the mage's arcane, or the druid's natural magic. Even the psionic powers of a psychic warlock cannot be used in the snowy realm. In the snowy realm, ice and snow seem to be the masters of everything, and it does not allow other forces to be presumptuous here.

This is the most important thing, otherwise no matter how harsh the climate is, it can be blocked by a simple level 1 divine skill!

So, both Natasha and Zari were surprised to hear that Martin had decided to make a trip through there. When Natasha was a nomad, she had heard others praise the prestige of the snowy land. When Zari was being trained as a wanderer, there were more than 100 words in the textbook on the surface of the earth, saying that it was extremely dangerous.

But Martin has his own reasons.

Martin had come to the Northlands for nothing else, to search for the holy object that would save her for Lyukrisia. Therefore, he uses a fishhook-shaped way of traveling to increase the search range, but when he gets here, if he wants to get around the snowy area, he will pass through a large area of land that has already been searched, and a lot of time will be wasted. Only by crossing the snow directly can you search as wide as possible as soon as possible. So, Martin made up his mind to cross there.

Martin was not vain. His determination to cross the snow was based on his own self-confidence.

That's right, in the snowy realm, Martin won't be able to use his druid nature magic. But it doesn't matter, Martin himself is a great way to survive in the wild, and without the help of nature, he can still travel through the snowy regions.

So, he confidently led Natasha and Zari to the snowy region.

"Well, magic items are starting to get unstable here. Martin said this as he dismounted and put away his magically made mount. The tall horse suddenly became small, like a chess piece, and was pocketed by Martin.

"Are we really going to travel through the past, why don't we fix some town?" Natasha was still skeptical about crossing the snow.

"Husband, it's no problem. Martin said as he prepared on the spot. "Your two horses are enough. ”

In order to boost morale, Martin naturally had to make such a big gesture in front of the players. In fact, Martin was extremely cautious, and he worked carefully and carefully. He knew there was no room for sloppiness at this time. In fact, he had plans to cross the snow from the beginning, because he had made certain preparations.

Although the use of magical items was already a little erratic, Martin still took out the items that had been prepared for a long time from the dimensional bag.

The first is the clothes. Martin knew a little about heat and knew that wearing layers of clothing would keep you warm. So I prepared a lot of clothes for the team members. The outermost layer is a hooded seal skin coat that is excellent for waterproofing. And the boots are the same, they are also made of seal skin. Corresponding to the multi-layered clothing, Martin also prepared multiple pairs of socks to ensure warmth.

In addition to this, Martin also took out other items needed for the trip. Because he couldn't open the space bag in the real snowy area, Martin had to prepare food and other supplies in advance.

For food, Martin prepares all high-calorie foods, which are also low-residue and can reduce the number of bowel movements - this is extremely important in the snow and ice, because it is inevitable that body heat will be lost when pooping. Keeping your body hot in this cold region is extremely important.

The bulk of the food is a variety of sugars. Don't underestimate them. Although often used as a condiment or snack, they do provide plenty of energy. And they have a very significant advantage, that is, they are small in size and easy to carry. In addition to a lot of sugar, Martin also brought a fair amount of dark brown food called chocolate. Then there's jerky and fatty foods. Think beef jerky, fish roe, cheese, mayonnaise, butter, or even simply animal fat. They not only provide enough calories for people, but also comfort the stomach and stomach and boost the morale of the team members.

Because of the difficulty of obtaining fuel in the snowy region, Martin had to bring his own fuel. Wood and coal that do not have enough calorific value are naturally not considered. Martin chose to carry alcohol and grease. When she heard Martin say that she was going to burn the precious alcohol and grease as fuel, Natasha felt deep regret. Luxury, this is too extravagant! You know, alcohol is made from precious grain, and it is very expensive. And fat is not a cheap food...... Although Natasha came from a family of the upper class of the tribe, the nomads were very poor. I can't get used to this kind of extravagance. But it can't be helped, life is the most important thing!

With so much cargo, it is naturally impossible to carry it on your shoulders. And neither can Natasha's two horses. So Martin decided to make a sleigh on the spot and place the items on it.

At this time, Martin couldn't help but rejoice. Both of Natasha's horses are long-haired and extremely hardy breeds. In particular, the colt is said to be able to spend the night in the wild at minus 39°C. Otherwise, they would have been wrapped in cowhide or something, and Martin would not have had the confidence to bring them over. In addition, these horses also have a strong survival ability to eat snow to quench their thirst and eat dried meat to satisfy their hunger. That's right, they can eat dried meat for a living, because it has become the first choice of hunters of many fishing and hunting peoples. Of course, considering the horse's own physique, Martin still carried a small amount of hay. When the time comes, let the horses pick up the snow and grass on their own, plus the hay and jerky they carry, it will not be a problem to support the past.

In addition to this, there is a lot more to prepare. The use of many things was amazed by Zari the wanderer and Natasha, a nomad. I was amazed that Martin knew so much about survival in the wild.

Martin, for example, weaved a kind of eye patch for them out of a ponytail. And tell them. The snow is very reflective, and it is even said that you can read the words in the snow even at night. Not to mention when the sun is out, the strong reflection can burn people's eyes and cause snow blindness. And this eye patch compiled by Martin reduces the amount of light entering the eye to avoid the dreaded snow blindness.

For example, if you walk in soft snow, you will sink into it, and it will be extremely difficult to pull out your feet and take a step forward. For this purpose, Martin made a type of snowshoe. The principle is that the greater the contact area at the same mass, the lower the pressure. If you wear these wide snowshoes, you don't have to worry about getting too deep and getting too tired.

In particular, the smaller the size, the faster the heat dissipation. This can be calculated based on mathematical formulas. Because while the volume changes in a cubic way, the surface area changes in square meters. For example, in nature, large creatures such as elephants have a problem dissipating heat, so they have evolved huge ears to help dissipate heat. Creatures such as small birds dissipate heat too quickly, and sometimes need to eat half of their own food every day to maintain calories. Probably because of the same principle, boreal animals tend to be larger than their tropical counterparts.

For example, if the volume of animal cm^3 will produce a heat power XJs^-1, and a heat dissipation power YJs^-1 per cm^2 surface area,

There is an animal (regarded as a cube for the sake of simplified calculation) with a volume of 1 cm^3, a surface area of 6 cm^3, a heat generating power of X, and a heat dissipation power of 6Y, "heat dissipation power" = 1X..6Y. If the "heat dissipation power" does not change after the volume is enlarged, the heat dissipation capacity and volume are not related. There is another animal with a volume of 8cm^3, a surface area of 24cm^2, a heating power of 8X, a heat dissipation power of 24Y, and a "heat dissipation power" = 1X..3Y.

As a result, for every 8-fold magnification (2^3, IE length magnification of 2-fold), the heat dissipation efficiency decreases by half.

Therefore, animals with a large body will have the problem of insufficient heat dissipation, while those with a small body will have the problem of excessive heat dissipation.

Therefore, Martin finally decided to wrap Zari to the point where she could not move at all and put her on a sleigh to avoid frostbite. On the other hand, it is also for the sake of her keen eyes. You know, it's okay to protect the eyes of people like Martin and Natasha with an eye patch to protect snow blindness, but it's hard to protect Zali's eyes, who live underground all year round! But over time, snow blindness will definitely come.

Whew, the snow is really effective, and I'm able to skate again. But skating is dispensable, and what I really want is what my family wants now, the most.
