Chapter 60: Maps
In the barracks, Dorn finished talking about what happened to them on the ice field, and everyone was silent, in fact, they were all good, they conquered the ice field.
The harsh weather and difficulties of the ice fields failed to defeat them, and even the mighty barbarian warriors fell to their arrows and scimitars.
It was the terrifying beast that defeated them, the monster known as Morado!
"They are heroes, and you should be proud of them. Jason stood up and patted Dorne on the shoulder, reassuring.
Dorn wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes to stabilize his emotions, raised his head and said to Jason, "My lord, we brought back a small part of the map of the Gera Ice Field this time, and when we came back, we also found a strange vein. ”
"Strange veins?" Jason was instantly surprised and a little puzzled, the veins are just veins, why is it still strange?
"What's going on, what veins have you found?"
No matter how strange this vein is, if you can mine and trade, your mission will be over.
That way, he will be able to conduct another draw, and he is looking forward to the big package.
"Darren, you come and talk to your lords. Dorne said to one of the hunters behind him, the same hunter who had led the team to follow the leader of the barbarians.
"This vein is occupied by a medium-sized barbarian tribe of a few hundred people. ”
Darren stepped forward and explained to Jason, "Ore is a stone that glows green at night. ”
He recalled that day: "The strangest thing is that there should be a human in the tribe of barbarians who have this irreconcilable hatred with humans!"
"Humans?" Jason was really surprised this time, when humans and barbarians fought for survival and drove them to the barren land of the Gla Ice Field.
This is the hatred buried in the blood, and there are humans in the barbarian tribe?
"Yes, human!" Darren was so sure that he had absolute confidence in his powers of observation, and if a hunter didn't have them, he might as well go home and farm.
"And the barbarian leader has great respect for him!"
"That's interesting. Jason couldn't help but touch his chin, it seemed that he still needed to ask Willett about it.
Jason now feels that his predecessor is really the type of person who does not learn and does not know how to do it, except for eating, drinking, and having fun, the knowledge in his head is lacking.
"My lord, this is the map we brought back. Dorne spoke again, bringing Jason's favorite news.
"Take a look!" Jason said impatiently, with the map, the next exploration will reduce a lot of effort, avoid a lot of danger, and bring more results.
Dorn pulled out a wooden box from his bosom, which he carried with him all the way except for fighting and hunting.
In the wooden box is a roll of sheepskin maps, which is the biggest harvest of this exploration!
It simply outlines the topography of the ice sheet, marked by prominent areas such as hills or pine forests.
"How do you find your way on the ice field?" Jason looked at the rudimentary map, and suddenly wondered, wouldn't he lose his sense of direction in case of a blizzard?
"The Hound of the North, our most loyal friend, will never forget the way home!" said Dorne, patting his chest.
Jason listened with a black line on his face, I was asking you how to get the direction, not how you found your way back. What is your answer?
"My lord, there is a plant under the snow of the ice field, and its rhizomes tend to grow northward. In the end, it was Darren who stepped forward to solve Jason's doubts, and his mind was more cautious and delicate.
"I see. Jason breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there was a way to find the direction on the ice sheet, then the future exploration would not be particularly difficult.
"You're all going to be with your families. Jason thought for a moment and then said, "The castle will give ten gold coins a year to the families of those who have died, and it will also protect them from others. ”
"Thank you, sir!" Dorn and the others bowed on one knee in thanks.
"Go back and prepare, in a few days I will confer on you the title of 'Pioneer' in front of the whole town, and your name will remain on the historical monument of the Iron Fang. ”
This is the "Medal of Honor" prepared by Jason, just like those legendary heroes, with their own titles, and the people of this world take this very seriously.
Even those adventurers and bards who are of average level and incompetent will give themselves a title, such as "Black Tiger", "Whisper of the Evening Breeze" and so on.
"I still have something to do, so I won't spend much time with you. Because Jason had already seen Mayor Dia waiting outside the door, looking at his son with moist eyes.
They should have a lot to say, and more than once during this time, Jason has seen Mayor Dia alone there in a daze.
Then he got up and left the barracks with Lancelot and the others, and the rest of the bereavement work only needed to send someone to hand over the money to Mayor Dia, and the rest did not need Jason to participate.
"Lancelot, go back and find someone you can trust and redraw the map. Jason looked at the wooden box in his hand and said that the great expedition decades ago had not left a map of the ice field for some unknown reason.
So the map in Jason's hand is precious.
"Leave this kind of trivial matter to your subordinates. Lancelot whispered that he still knew a little about painting, and although he was not a master of painting, it was more than enough to make a more elaborate map.
"Won't it delay your cultivation?" Jason asked, the most important thing for Lancelot now was to step into the realm of the Sky Knight.
"It just takes a little time, no problem. Now he only has that kick in the door, if it weren't for the fact that he has accumulated a little deeper, he would have forced a breakthrough.
Now there is still a lack of an opportunity for him to make a qualitative change, as long as he encounters this opportunity, he will naturally enter the realm that everyone dreams of.
"It's a pity that I can't practice!" Jason has always been very concerned about his own strength, and it is really frustrating that he seems so fragile every time he is in danger.
So he has been practicing swordsmanship to exercise his physique, although he can't fight with extraordinary powerhouses in the future, but he must not lose to ordinary people.
"My lord, there must be a way, such as...... That place. Lancelot hesitated, revered by the system that had given him a second life.
Jason squinted, in fact, he couldn't figure out the heel of the system until now, but his rebirth and the biggest hole card were it, so he could only believe in it unconditionally.
"Please don't worry too much about this problem, the existence of the system depends on the life of the host, that is to say, if the host dies, I will also disappear. At this time, the system, which had not come out for a long time to refresh its sense of existence, suddenly spoke out.
"Otherwise, there are so many people in this world who are more powerful than you. Why don't I leave you and choose them?"
"Besides, I'm just a smart service system, and the lottery wheel is not within my interference. The system said again, this time it finally dispelled the doubts in Jason's heart, after all, without this system, he would have died a long time ago, why are you so entangled?
After figuring it out, Jason was instantly refreshed, as if a boulder pressing on his body had disappeared.
"All you have to tell me now is if it is possible for me to get something from you that awakens to the supernatural powers. Jason no longer dwelled on the unanswered question, but asked.
"Yes. The system replied in the affirmative.
"What is it?" asked Jason excitedly.
