Chapter 90: Task Handover
A city in the northern part of the kingdom of Seth.
This is the closest city to the polar ice field in the Kingdom of Seth, and further north, you will enter the realm of the orcs. Since half of the year is covered in snow and ice, the city is called the Frozen City.
Originally, according to the walking speed of the two men, it was impossible to reach the frozen city before the heavy snow covered the mountain, but the speed of the Holy See horse was much faster than the two of them, so they arrived in the frozen city at the end of autumn. In this regard, Glen had to admire his foresight, if it weren't for these two horses, I am afraid that they would have to wait until next summer to go to Tongtian Peak in the polar ice field.
"Look, look!" said Sylvia, pointing to the white expanse of the mountain in the distance. - This is the first time the elf girl has seen snow. Before that, she had no idea what "snow" was.
"I saw it, but was it snow? what was there to make a fuss about. Although he hadn't seen real snow before, he had seen some drawings in various books, so he wasn't so surprised by it.
"I've never seen snow before, it's never snowed in the forest!" Sylvia jumped with joy, eager to run over and get a closer look at the snow.
"You've been in the abyss for so many years and you've been sad, have you seen real snow too?" the elf girl asked.
"I've never seen real snow, but I've seen pictures of snow in the books I've read. He said, but suddenly turned into a sigh: "Alas, let you read more, you don't listen, now you see it, those who read, not necessarily soil buns, those who don't read must be soil buns!"
Such words of exhortation have almost become a template for teaching Sylvia a dark lesson.
Poor Sylvia, who had been clinging to this disadvantage of not reading, had been listening to such words for a month, and her ears were almost calloused.
After being taught a dark lesson, Sylvia pouted dissatisfiedly.
"Do you need me to stuff a few pine cones into your mouth? Glow looked at Sylvia's bulging cheeks and teased her.
"Humph!" Sylvia twisted her head to the side in arrogance.
At this time, I don't have to worry about her, just after a while, she will obediently come over again.
Although it is still autumn, the people in the Frozen City have already put on thick jackets, and the night in the Holy City of the Holy See is also very cold, but the temperature difference between morning and evening is too great, and here, there is a biting cold wind blowing all day.
I don't think there's anything to it. He's a demon, and he's hardy, but Sylvia can't. She has lived in the forest all year round, and she has adapted to the constant temperature environment, and when she encounters the cold weather, she immediately becomes unadaptable, and she jumps to her feet in the cold.
"It's cold. Sylvia shuddered, clasping her arms in her arms.
The two of them were now wandering the streets, and their luggage was left in the hotel, so there was no extra clothes on her body to protect her from the cold.
"Come here," Gmy scooped Sylvia into his arms, "are you feeling better now?"
The temperature of Dark's body is very high, close to fifty degrees, and he is like a large heater in the shape of a human. Sylvia hugged him and let out a lovely, comfortable hum.
"Shall we go back?"
"Yes. Sylvia nodded lazily. Although she was warm now, she still didn't want to stay outside to blow the wind.
"Then let's go back. I'll come out again when I go back and buy you some thick clothes. ”
"Nightingale" watched the two walk back and hurriedly followed, but was slapped in the back.
"Who?" "Nightingale" was startled and pulled out the short knife from his waist.
"Okay 'Nightingale', don't react so much, it's us. A voice came from behind.
"It turned out to be you, it scared me to death. 'White wolf', can you do it differently next time?" She turned around and saw a dozen men standing behind her.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you'd find us. The "white wolf" spread his hands helplessly.
"Please, everyone knows that your hidden aura skills are top-notch, and I'm just good at tracking, not detection. Nightingale glared at him, "Why are you here now?"
"We're ready, but boss, this time we're working with Mr. Florentine. It will take some time for Mr. Florence to gather these powerful brothers. "White Wolf" pointed to the few men standing behind him. Looking at their breath, all of them are good.
"Alright, well, anyway, you're finally there so I can go and get some rest. I've been tracking it for almost four months, and I'm exhausted. "Nightingale" said.
"I thought you had been doing something lately, but I didn't expect it to be four months since I took this task, my God, boss, are you going to do such a big thing this time?" Hearing that the "Nightingale" had been tracking for almost four months, the "White Wolf" looked surprised, but he knew that the "Nightingale" and the people in their tracking group could usually track it for a month. This time, for a person to be able to track for up to four months, you can see how imperative the boss is to this person.
"Would you be crazy about a female elf, underage, if it were you?" asked Nightingale.
"Well, it's really worth your time, and this prize money is definitely yours. ”
"If the boss loses my bonus, I won't do it, don't you see that I've lost weight twice?" "Nightingale" pointed to his slender waist.
"Seeing that you are so tired, why don't you cool off and relax together at night? We have more than a dozen people here, and you will definitely be satisfied." "White Wolf" said with an evil smile.
"Okay, you little 'white wolf', you've learned to flirt with your sister, believe it or not, I cut you while you're not looking?" Nightingale shook the short knife in his hand.
"Yes, yes, sister, you are ruthless, the little brother is just joking with you, don't care. "White wolf" hurriedly waved his hand. It's not that he can't beat "The Nightingale", but he has to show respect for this senior who has worked longer than him.
"Just know it yourself. Nightingale put away the short knife, "The target lives in the upper room of the 'Great Ice Hotel' 303, if I heard me correctly, that assassin will be going out in a moment to buy thick clothes for the target, you should take advantage of this time to act quickly." ”
"It's a bit of a tight time, but we're sure it'll be done. Sister, you can go and rest. "White wolf" said very gentlemanly.
"That's fine, I'll go rest for a while after the task is handed over. I'm staying at the 'Perfect' Inn, and you're looking for me when you're done. "Nightingale" said.
"Okay. ”
