Chapter 347: Enter Ice City
With the support of the system, Barron was able to go from being an ordinary person in such a short period of time to slowly becoming a junior knight, an intermediate knight, a senior knight, a great knight, and even a junior demigod now.
But what about Dietrind and Ascar? Why did they not have Barron's system support, so why did they directly achieve a two-level jump, or even a three-level jump, in just three months?
"Talent, bloodline, treasure, devil's power, or something else?" Barron sat on his sleigh and thought quietly, two days after he had left Merrell, and in those two days, he had time to think and guess why Dietlinde and Askar had suddenly grown in strength.
"Ahead is Icey City, Dietrind and Aska should be in this former royal capital now!" After two days and two nights of non-stop running, Barron quickly saw the outline of the walls of the original royal capital of the Icewind Kingdom, IceSky City.
"Although I am curious about the reason for the sudden increase in strength of Dietlinde and Aska, but no matter what the reason for the two of them is, they suddenly became powerful, which doesn't seem to have much to do with me, and my current task is to feel the city of Ampton as soon as possible. Although Barron was curious about the situation of Dietlinde and Aska, he would not blindly go to the two and ask why.
Eventually, though, Barron decided to enter Ice, not because of Dietrind and Aska, but because of the six Glacier Wolves who had brought him here.
After two days and two nights of non-stop running, Barron's six glacier wolves were almost overwhelmed. As a result, Barron had to recuperate in Ice.
Fortunately, although Ice City has just experienced the war, under the pacification and suppression of the Silver Snow Corps and Auguste, it has restored its pre-war calm, and even established a refugee camp in the city, which has begun to slowly absorb the refugees generated by the war in the surrounding areas.
In the past two days, the refugees affected by the war in the vicinity of Icecastle have been working under August's policy in exchange for meager wages or food, such as building roads, repairing city walls and partially damaged areas of the city, and the effect is also very good.
And although Barron has nothing to prove himself on at this time, the number of people who enter Ice City every day is hundreds, or even thousands, and there are no more than one Barron, and no one less than him.
So after Barron simply disguised himself and paid a few copper coins, Barron successfully entered the Ice City, as for why he was disguised, it was because at this time, the occupants of Ice City, that is, the Silver Snow Corps, had many acquaintances of Baron.
According to the regulations, a lord like Barron was not allowed to communicate privately with the senior officers of the regular regiment without being informed and reported, mainly to prevent the lord from colluding with the senior officers of the regular regiment.
Of course, in fact, such a provision was only useful when the kingdom was just established, and now such a thing cannot be avoided at all, because now many high-ranking legions of regular legions are themselves nobles, or even members of the territorial nobility.
Therefore, many of the senior officers of the regular regiment now maintain close relations with the nobles of the kingdom, and even marry each other.
However, Barron went to the Far North to hunt the White Ice Wolf King this time, but he came over secretly, and if he was found to be in Ice City at this time, he would inevitably have a little trouble.
After all, a newly promoted and unfounded nobleman like Barron, and a corps commander like August, who had just made great achievements, were often the most popular people of the incompetent and red-eyed nobles in the royal capital.
When the time comes, it will inevitably cause trouble for Baron himself and the people of the Silver Snow Corps, so Barron specially disguised it.
Fortunately, Barron had only bought a few horses in Icey City, and he would soon be gone, so that he wouldn't be discovered by anyone else under the disguise he could.
Of course, if you can buy a few good war horses in Ice City, and then change them all the way back to the Nader Kingdom, it is the best choice for Baron, if there is no war horse, ordinary substitute horses or even donkeys can be replaced.
Although the average speed of war horses and horses is not as good as that of a sleigh pulled by a glacier wolf, six war horses can continue to take turns to ride and maintain horsepower, which can maximize the endurance.
The six Glacier Wolves need to pull the Barron at the same time to keep going, and if one of the Glacier Wolves is not supported enough, it may cause the sled to be unusable or affect the speed of travel.
Second, the sled pulled by the Glacier Wolf could not be used after passing through the Devil's Mountains, and the south and north of the Devil's Mountains had completely different climates, so Barron had to change his horse anyway and continue to Anpulton City.
Thirdly, these six glacier wolves were able to run at peak speed, and they could hold on for two days, relying on the slightest trace of frost divine power that Barron occasionally infused into their bodies.
It was this trace of frost divine power that completely overdrew and activated the potential and ability of these six glacier giant wolves, and then enabled these six glacier giant wolves to have this state that had been at their peak in two days.
It's a pity that the glacier giant wolf is just an ordinary beast after all, not even a monster, and it can't withstand the power of the frost divine power at all, and the vitality and potential in the bodies of these six glacier giant wolves are overdrawn at this time.
Although the group of glacier wolves barely lasted two days, Barron knew that it would not be long before none of these glacier wolves survived, and this time would not exceed a day.
Fortunately, when he was in the town of Meror, the town's intelligence chief took into account the need to buy war horses when preparing supplies for Barron, so he prepared a part of the gold coins for Barron.
It's a pity that the town of Merol itself is not a rich town, and the intelligence chief here can't provide enough funds, but fortunately, the sleigh and the glacier wolf helped Barron get back some of the funds, so that Barron's last funds are enough to buy three ordinary war horses.
Unfortunately, the horse dealer told Barron that because of the impact of the war, the war horse that Baron needed had not yet arrived in Icey City, and that if Baron wanted to get the war horse, he would have to wait another night, until tomorrow morning.
After considering the pros and cons, Barron agreed to the horse dealer's request, and he was still delayed for one night, so Barron paid the deposit and found a random hotel in the Ice City and stayed directly.
