The heavy snow was even worse than Wang Chu had imagined, and the carriage could no longer move forward after only three days.

According to them, the road to the west is even more difficult, the weather in the west is colder than in the east, and the heavy snow has almost closed the mountains in the past few days, and many people can't get out.

The snow was almost half a meter thick on the ground, so that the carriage could not move at all, and in the end, there was no way for Lias to ask the soldiers to drive the carriage back to the nearest town, and only three chose to go on foot.

"Great Teacher, what shall we do, shall we continue to move on?" said Anwenna, looking at the thick snow.

The three of them walked a few more miles, and found that there were fewer pedestrians on the road, and even adventurers would not choose to go out in this kind of weather.

"Of course, you won't like spending the night in a snowstorm. Wang Chu said.

There are many small towns and farms on the road to the west of the imperial capital, and as long as you can hold on, you can rest in every place.

Lias looked at the two people walking in front, Wang Chu put on a wide and thick coat for herself, her whole body looked very strong, and walking in front was like a wall. The caravans passing by just now couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and some even subconsciously avoided it.

Because of the existence of summoning beasts, and most people like to call them out, it is not strange to occasionally see some strange creatures, but the werewolf's gaze looks very attractive, which makes many adventurers shy away.

"Why don't we go to the front town and rest. Lias said.

After all, it was because of their own business that they braved the snowstorm to go out, and they always felt that they couldn't go.

"If you can walk, you can walk as much as you can, because if it snows heavily for a few days, it will be difficult to walk in the mountains. Wang Chu said to Anwenna, and told Lias through her mouth.

When I came out of Hajar City before, I had to climb several mountains, and if the snow there was as heavy as it is now, it was probably impossible to get in.

Walk a little more during the day, even if you can do it very slowly.

Wang Chu had never seen such a big snowstorm, and the breath he exhaled would condense in a few seconds, and a layer of frost had been frozen on his fur, and even An Wenna, who had never liked to wear a coat, wrapped herself tightly, and she was almost unable to see the road ahead.

It was still noon when I got off the bus, and it felt like it was getting dark after not long walking.

The three of them walked all the way to the evening before finding a place to rest in a nearby town.

Most small towns outside the imperial capital will have farms, because items close to the imperial capital are easier to sell, but as long as farms are involved, there must be business families.

At the doorway, Lias saw the coat of arms belonging to the Erica family.

"I didn't expect this to be their family's place too, I've long heard that Erica is the only noble family in the Asta Empire that doesn't have a noble title, it turns out that in this way, he may be richer than many nobles in the imperial capital. ”

Who is not, although the business family does not have a strong ability to protect itself, it may create its own extraordinary value in a relatively peaceful environment.

The most conspicuous thing in the town is the tavern, which is a favorite place for humans to visit during this season.

There was also a little boy standing at the door, wrapped tightly all over his body, and his mouth kept spitting out white smoke.

"Hey, visitors from afar, ...... you" The little boy saw someone coming over and stepped forward to greet him, but when he saw Wang Chu, he was so frightened that he took a few steps back.

"Oh, don't be afraid of the child, he's not a bad guy, is there a room to live in?" said Lias with a smile as she walked ahead.

The boy looked at Lias and Anwenna, and finally stopped at himself.

There are often all kinds of adventurers staying here, and occasionally strange-looking summoning beasts appear.

"Yes, of course, there have been very few people coming and going in the last few days, please sit inside, General. The boy was quick to notice the armor on Lias.

Ordinary people can't distinguish the different levels represented by various armors, as long as they see the armor of the army, they are all called generals, a businessman's common sense of survival.

Walking into the tavern, the temperature suddenly became hot.

"Hello, guests from afar...... Oh, General. Is there anything I can do for you?" a bearded man came over and said, businessmen have their own shrewdness, and this one is obviously more knowledgeable, and there was no reaction when he saw Wang Chu.

"Prepare a bigger room, and the food you have here, and send the best of them. Lias asked, as if she remembered something again.

"Store manager, can you still walk the road to the western city?"

Westward.

The bearded man glanced at the two of them, and the corner of his eyes stayed on Wang Chu for a moment, but immediately moved away.

"If it's snowing so hard tonight, I'm afraid it's going to be difficult, it's said that the mountain road over there has been blocked, and you can buy a few sleds for this section of the road, maybe faster than you usually take a horse-drawn carriage, but the western mountain is too high to get in. ”

The western part is a plateau landform, and these Wang Chu have seen it when they came out, and it is indeed difficult to pass if it is blocked there.

"Maybe you can wait, it won't take long for the army to get the road open. The bearded man hurriedly continued.

The reason why a few people waited was nothing more than wanting to stay three more people for a few days, the snowy weather was not a big city tavern there were not many people in the first place, and there were a few people sitting in the whole hall drinking.

"Hey, little girl, are you going to the west~Hiccup~" At this time, the two men closest to each other suddenly interjected.

Wang Chu looked over, the two of them were so drunk that their cheeks were as red as fire, they might not be able to see the focus clearly when they spoke, and they would shake their heads from time to time, but they were really asking Lias, they should have heard it when they talked to the bearded man just now.

"Yes, do you know how to get there?"

"Of course, others may not know, but for us, there is a special method. "It sounds like drunken talk, but since there is a way, Lias might as well listen to it a little longer.

"That's how. ”

"Shh~"

The other party made a boo gesture, and the aroma of ale could be smelled here.

"Can't ~ can't tell others...... The road to the western city of Hajar, they only know how to go through the mountains, not the mountains, what a fool...... It's stupid......" Before he could speak, he fell on the table.

"Alright, Mr. Baggins, your speech is over, and you should get some rest. ”

"I'm sorry, General. It's a hassle to take a picture of you. The bearded man said with a smile.

"What did he mean by that?"

"Well, that's some rumors, you know the west is the place with the most ore veins, and it is said that some bandits once dug tunnels in the mountains in order to secretly transport ore, and I only heard about it...... However, I have actually seen such people dig up some rare stones from the west and sell them on the black market in the imperial capital. ”
