The westernmost part of the North.

It took the three of them seven days to get here, and the farther west they went, the fewer people they could see.

In the first few days, I passed through a small town occasionally, but now it is difficult to see a family, and sometimes I hardly see anyone for a whole day.

The world is white, but the walls of the north have always stood in the distance.

There were not many guards in this section, Wang Chu had seen a few people pass by like a patrol team a few times before, but they were all far away, and their attention was no longer inside but outside the city wall, so they didn't find the three of them.

By the eighth day, the place was completely deserted.

I don't know how long the time has passed, Wang Chu just stops to rest when Lias is tired according to his daily habits, and sleeps when he is sleepy......

There is no place in the wilderness but to sweep away a snowy field and lie down on it.

It's a lot warmer for three people to huddle together.

Even if it is not good, it can transform into a giant bear form, and its thick fur is very warm.

The snow in the north is not heavy, not to the point of a blizzard, but it has been snowing for a long time all year round, so this section of the road is also the most difficult part of Wang Chu to walk.

"How long have we been gone?"

When she was bored, Lias would talk to Anwenna, because she was moving and felt less cold.

It's just a long journey that feels boring.

"Ah, I haven't calculated, it's not going to be dark for a few days, and I don't know how long we've been walking in total, but we've rested several times anyway. Like Wang Chu, An Wenna can only calculate time according to rest and sleep.

"Now that we've moved beyond the scope of map labeling, these ...... It's all useless. Lias still had a scroll of paper in her hand, which she should have thrown away, but she could have used it to cover her eyes when she slept.

"In that case, we should be there soon. Anwenna said and looked at Wang Chu, who had already transformed into the form of the king of the forest.

Today's King of the Forest form is particularly strong in terms of skill and magic.

Wang Chu tried it a few times and found it particularly convenient.

If you wave your hand, the snow along the way will make a path, and it is also convenient to observe your surroundings.

Even the smallest sound can't escape your ears.

"Grand Mentor, how long will it take for us to reach the Elven Forest?"

Belch......

Hearing An Wenna's question, Wang Chu wanted to turn around and knock the other party directly, how can I know this if I haven't been here, don't you ask the question to death if you ask like this.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Anwenna thought she hadn't heard it, so she ran forward directly.

Normal deer people are a little taller than humans, and of course taller than elves.

Anwenna didn't dare to jump on her back, she could only jump in front of her.

"The Great Mentor ......"

"Okay, I hear you, I don't know how long it will take...... It should be soon. Looking at Avenna's fair face, one arm lifted the other party and put it aside.

There was still heavy snow in front of you, but there were vague undulations.

It shows that this is going high, and the terrain is high, which means entering the mountains and forests.

Well?

Wait a minute.

Wang Chu stopped the two.

Anwenna, do you see if there's a hut up ahead?

"Where? After hearing Wang Chu's words, Anwenna ran to the front.

Although it is covered in snow, you can see the smoke rising, and there is no snow around the roof chimney.

It was indeed a room, so short that it seemed to be sunk into the ground, and the exposed part was very small.

"It's still inhabited, and it's still in this kind of place. Lias looked into the distance in amazement.

"Let's take a look!"

The three of them walked quickly in the direction of the house, because they were going to see people, Wang Chu avoided trouble, turned into a squirrel again, and hid in Lias's arms.

Walking in, it's actually quite a spacious place.

It was clear that there was originally a yard, but the land was deserted, there was snow everywhere, and a few small houses were built outside the house.

It's a warehouse.

Most farmers will have several warehouses for storing wood and household tools, and of course there will be basements for storing food.

Although this area is snowy, there are trees and animals, so if you want to live alone, you can't live here, but it's too lonely.

There was basically no one along the way, and I lived here alone.

There was a fire in the house.

The outside of the house was swept clean, there was a path that went straight to it, and it was a mark of just sweeping.

Barking!

There was a dog leashed at the door of the firewood room, and when I saw a few people coming over, I suddenly stood up and barked wildly.

Wang Chu glanced at the other party.

As if surprised, he suddenly shrank back.

"What's wrong? Luke. Who's out there?" was an old man's voice in the room.

The old wooden door rattled, and an elderly man opened it.

"You guys?"

"I'm sorry, old man, we're passing travelers, that ......"

"Come in first. ”

Before Lias could finish speaking, the old man let the two go in first.

The body warmed up all of a sudden, the room was not big, and it should be said that there were not many things. Mostly old wooden furniture, with a clean bed in the corner.

The coals under the fireplace were burning all the time, and there was a pot of hot stuff hanging on it.

It's very fragrant, but it's always been a special plant fragrance, more like boiling medicine.

"We are ......"

"Let's do it first. Again, he didn't give Lias a chance to speak, so he let the two of them sit down first.

Wang Chu paid attention to the old man's movements, and his body would tremble uncontrollably when he walked...... The elderly should be physically ill, and of course people of this age cannot be explained by illness alone.

Medicine in this world is not well developed, and many civilians lack nutrition since childhood, and their physical functions will decline quickly when they are older.

At the very least, it could be seen that the old man had no magical abilities, that the skin of his hands was rough and wounded, and that the calluses on his finger bones were thick.

It used to be a hunter.

The old man scooped a few spoonfuls of soup from the boiler, and it turned out that something could be drunk by ordinary people.

"Drink a bowl, kid, it tastes good. The important thing is to be able to warm up. ”

The bowl is also a wooden bowl, and it is still finely carved.

"You just said you were travelers, but there are hardly any travelers in this area, and there have been a few travelers here before...... But it was too cold for them to bear, and no one came after that. The old man spoke in a peaceful tone, not in a questioning tone.

Lias glanced at Anwenna.

In this case, the elf didn't know how to answer correctly, and was busy shaking his head to show that he didn't know how to answer.

"Grandpa, have you been here for a long time?" asked Lias.

The old man also served himself a bowl of soup and sat down slowly on the edge of the fireplace.

The older body is not as good as the younger one, and it is necessary to sit closer to feel warmer.

"Yes, it's been sixty years! I'm in this place. ”

Poof, sixty years.

The lifespan of a human being is no more than 100 years, if he is a little more capable, he will be strong and strong in one or two hundred years, sixty years!

That's been here for almost most of my life.
