At the same time.

Beihaiwang Vicor's house.

Damn, Lao Tzu's wallet! Grief-stricken pounding on the table, the snow crow showed a loveless expression: Isn't this?

How could I have the face to be a sentinel when I was swept away by such a low-end trick! He should have reacted when he hit me!

With his head constantly "banging" on the table, Vicol felt more and more that life was so difficult. Although the reward of 100 euros has not been used before, so there is no shortage of money, but Vicol still feels simply cold.

As soon as I was excited, I put a few more euros in my wallet, so I should bring less money when I go out in the future...... The price of pretending to be forced is too high.

I couldn't tell if I was frustrated because I lost money or lost face, Vicol hammered the table again, and swore angrily: Let me see the guy who stole my wallet again, and I will definitely clean him up!

I already remember his face!!, muffled in thought, Vicol struggled to draw the man's image in his mind, and then ran back to his study to find a pen and paper to try to spend it. After a few hasty strokes, before the outline could be fully outlined, there was a loud noise from upstairs: it sounded like something heavy had fallen to the ground.

Morse fell to the ground again, didn't he? Knowing what was going on, Vicol sighed: Uncle Blacksmith likes to sleep when he's drunk, and that's fine. But when he falls asleep, he tends to roll around and fall to the ground. After that, he would crawl into bed again in a daze and repeat the process.

It's really a death to be so drunk at an old age. Maybe one day the organs won't be able to stand it.

Don't worry about him, let him toss it himself...... Cutting off the wick that was too long and causing the candlelight to flicker, the snow crow quickly finished sketching the remaining outline, and then threw it aside with satisfaction: don't draw it yet, that's pretty much it. As for the facial features and everything, it's easy to recall (in fact, I've forgotten).

It is estimated that Morse slept like this tonight, and he would never eat such a late-night snack again. If I'm left alone, I'll just have some bread - I would have liked to make some more soup for him to drink. Thinking about how bad the blacksmith's hangover would be when he woke up tomorrow morning, Vicol looked at the bright street lamps on the street outside the house, and suddenly calmed down: he always felt a little inexplicably calm, why?

Anyway, it's certainly not because the wallet was stolen. These out-of-town sailors are all liars!

I always feel that something is too smooth...... Trying his best to convince himself that he had thought too much, Vicol picked up the pipe on the table that was about to go out, and took two puffs to rekindle it: did he really succeed in lifting the blockade?

It's because there was no icebreaker back then, so the ancestors were scared or what...... The ice isn't as thick as it could be.

Although I didn't look very carefully at the time, I could still see that the ice cubes were not very strong at all. It's only about 10 centimeters thick, right? It can be seen that its real threat is only that it cannot be approached, and it is actually a paper tiger.

So if the sea surface can be solved in this way, can the black ice on some land also be solved in this way? I couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and the snow crow began to think about one question: after all, we don't even know the reason for the appearance of black ice. Originally, I thought that the reason why the Black Ice Mage could only temporarily create Black Ice in Beihai was that there were ruins to protect it, but after the sea surface was also blocked, this idea was a bit unreasonable.

Of course, there was originally another rumor. That is, where there is enough breath of life, black ice cannot invade. But no matter how you think about it, there are loopholes.

Maybe the black ice was created by some kind of magical device, and they emit magical energy to the surrounding area, keeping the black ice alive. In other words, all black ice is temporary - destroying these spawning devices can remove large areas of black ice within a radius.

This thought is due to Vicor's observation that the black ice at the end of the sea level is in an arc.

Is it because it didn't spread to land......

Is that device hidden at the bottom of the sea, so it can only affect the surface of the same medium?

Although the sea area is so wide, it is good to roughly find the central location of the previously frozen sea area and dive to the bottom of the sea to investigate.

Thinking of the great gains that might be gained from this conjecture, Vicol suddenly became excited. Remembering a rumor she had heard before, the Snow Raven closed her eyes with her pipe in her mouth: it is said that Lord Mace wanted to send someone to test whether the strong fuel could burn the black ice on the ground.

In fact, if it can be eradicated, it will have to be done at a great cost. But if the Snow Raven's guess is true, then there is no need to bother - after all, it is only necessary to find the device that disperses the black ice and smash it.

I think it's all nonsense, but it makes some sense. With his pipe in hand, Vicol even began to consider whether he was up to the task: since there was little evidence to support him, it was better to do it himself after contacting Odyss. It's better to find the device, and if you can't find it, you don't have to make jokes.

I don't know what happened to the diplomacy with Icerock, even if the Corruptors don't have much chance of attacking the town, it's better to send some guards to protect the town quickly.

Otherwise, the people of Beihaiwang have no safety guarantee, and of course they will want to flee to other places for protection. Despite the shortage of troops on both sides, it should still be possible to send 50 men each. With these 100 people, the townspeople will be much more stable.

With his weight completely pressed on his chair, Vicol kept thinking about his actions in the next few days: what should I do? Lord Mace will not give any more orders for a while, and the next few days will be free time, and I will have to use it myself.

However, this does not mean that you can relax at will, and a high degree of freedom means a high degree of self-discipline. As a freedom sentinel, you must always think about the next investigative mission. I have to do these things while I have time......

Pretty much three!A: Investigate whether there is a device for spreading black ice on the ocean floor.

B: Investigate the spread of black ice near Lower Icerock City.

C: Get out the kid who stole my wallet.

Damn, what if that guy runs away on a boat? As soon as he thought about it, Vicol was discouraged, and he only felt dull: forget it, it's better to think about the preparations for the investigation at sea. You'll have to buy some liquid fire and rent a boat.

Furthermore...... The most important thing is protection. The temperature of the sea is low, so you have to be prepared to dive to the bottom of the sea. Already well aware of how to solve this problem, Vicol spat out a smoke ring: "Anyway, I'm an old hunter.
