"Squeak, squeak", Pannis and Catherine's feet, stepping on knee-deep snow, making a strange sound when the snow is squeezed with each step. Behind the two of them, deep footprints stretched one after another along the town's stone road into the distance, and the heavy snow fell silently, quickly filling the gap that was trampled by the two.

"The mayor said it's on the east side of the town, so it should be this way. Catherine, who was walking in front, put her hand in front of her face, and half-turned and said loudly in the wind: "But there are so many houses here, how can you determine which one it is?" ”

Due to the relatively short distance, when they came out, neither of them wore the wide pair of sunglasses, and at this time, they moved forward against the swirling wind, and the wind blew the snow so that the two could only squint. Pannis squinted his eyes and looked as hard as he could, and shouted loudly in the wind: "The mayor said it was the east side of the town, not the east side of the town, I guess he was referring to the separate house over there, just on the edge of the town, and independent, when the house was built, that location was probably outside the town." ”

"Then let's go and have a look. Catherine looked at the location pointed out by Pannis for a long time, and could only barely see the outline of the house in the snow, and could not see the specific situation of the house, so she could only agree: "This time I came to the snow field, I really learned new knowledge, when I was in the holy capital before, I couldn't imagine that walking would become such a hard thing." ”

"Because this is a snowy field. Pannis shook his head, shook off the snow on his hat, and replied loudly: "However, the professionals who die on the snow field are the least of all the harsh environments, and the Warcraft Forest is also a forest with the lowest mortality rate among professionals, which is also considered a lucky thing, do you know why?"

"I didn't know before I came, but now I know why. Catherine shouted, "What professional would want to venture here if it wasn't a last resort?" The harshness of the environment here is completely manifested on the surface, and this kind of blizzard alone can scare off most adventurers, not to mention the severe cold, and those damn natural traps. ”

"You guessed it, most people are scared off, there is an opportunity to make money, there is no need to come here to die. Be careful under your feet, there may be obstacles in the snow. Pannis shoved Catherine from behind, helping her regain her balance in the wind, and then pointed ahead and said, "Push harder, we're almost there." If nothing else, he should let us go inside and rest for a while, and then we can take a break. ”

Soon after, the two were at the far edge of the eastern part of the town, where a lone wooden building stood. The wooden house is said to have been built by the hands of the first liaison officer many years ago, and has been renovated by successive liaison officers since then, so the wooden house has been erected for hundreds of years without collapsing. The architectural style of the wooden house is very similar to the other buildings in the town, but it is much taller than all the buildings, and it is obvious that the dragon's habit of living in a wide cave has also affected these dragon worshippers, so that they also habitually build their houses very spacious, for them, it is very comfortable to live in this way, and it is estimated that if the conditions do not allow it, they must hope to find a cave to move into like the dragon.

There were no lights in the wooden house, and it looked dark through the windows, not at all like anyone was at home, but there was a faint smoke coming out of the chimney on the roof, so as not to make people think that it was an abandoned house. Just as the mayor said, the gate of the courtyard outside the house was open, and there were no sled deer or dogs in the yard, only a stone sculpture standing in the clearing. The stone carving is large and looks unfinished, but even though it is still a half-finished product, it can be seen that the maker is preparing to carve out a dragon with wings spreading. For the liaison officers of the Bailong clan, it is a very boring thing to leave their own group and come to live in a small town for five years, and carving the image of the dragon is the best way for them to relieve boredom.

Catherine looked around the statue for a while, and then came to the door and knocked on the door, as the mayor had described, there was no response from the house, but Pannis leaned down by the door and sniffed, and whispered, "There should be someone inside, I asked about the smell." ”

"It seems that he is not ready to respond to us. Catherine pulled down the woolen scarf wrapped around her face, pouted, and said, "Didn't you say there was a way to get him to respond? ”

Pannis smiled mysteriously, took out a small box from his pocket, and when he opened it, he found that the inside of the box was carved with several magic circles that blocked energy, and then there was another box inside. When the energy-insulating box was opened, although Catherine could not see what was in the second box, she could clearly feel a strange sensation coming from the small box, a feeling that Catherine could confirm that she had never felt before, but instinctively thought it was very special.

Her perception is very keen, and the energy emitted from the box is indeed very special, especially when the box is opened, there is a sound of people moving in the room. With the sound of approaching footsteps, the door actually opened, and the owner of the room, that is, the liaison officer of the Bailong Dominion, was standing inside the door, silent without any emotional fluctuations on his face.

After the liaison opened the door, he didn't even look at Catherine, but looked directly at Pannis, who was holding the box, and after staring at it for a long time, he made a random gesture and motioned for the two to follow behind, and then turned back into the house. Pannis gave Catherine a successful smile and pushed her into the liaison's room.

Walking into the house, Catherine found that she had been fooled, from the outside, the house was wooden, very similar to other buildings, but after entering it, she found that the wooden was only a layer of surface, behind the surface of the wooden plank, in fact, the whole room was composed of stone structures, the masonry that made up the walls was thick and strong, and the warmth was also very strong, and within a minute of entering the house, Catherine felt hot all over, and couldn't help but take off her thick coat, hat and scarf.

It wasn't until she sat down that Catherine could see the appearance of the liaison of the Bairon clan. It was a middle-aged man in his forties, tall and burly, with bulging muscles all over his body, and he looked very powerful. His hair had been shaved, revealing a shiny scalp, and there were dragon-shaped patterns tattooed on the back of his head, and although it was impossible to see what they were, Catherine could not go around behind the liaison to take a closer look out of politeness.

The liaison has a special eye, one of his right eyes has a red vertical pupil like a dragon, and he should have inherited the same excellent eyesight as the dragon. The liaison seemed to dislike talking, and the liaison stared at Pannis's box for a moment, then turned back to the fireplace to remove the boiling water, poured hot boiling water for each of the two visitors, and continued to stare at the two without saying a word.

Catherine finally couldn't help it, and said with a sneer: "Hello, we are the Nelly Adventure Group from the City of Knowledge, and we are here to get in touch with the Dragon Clan, so we hope that after you and the next liaison are handed over, we can go to the Bailong Dominion together, I don't know if you have any opinions." ”

The liaison still ignored Catherine, and suddenly pointed to the box in Pannis's hand, but still didn't say a word. Pannis shrugged and opened the second layer of the box with his own hands, only then Catherine saw a golden scale, lying quietly at the bottom of the box. The scales are very beautiful, the edges are smooth and neat, the surface is smooth as a mirror, and the color is also pure gold, beautiful like a beautiful gold coin. It took Catherine a lot of effort to resist her urge to reach out and touch her, and she said to the liaison again: "Hello, my name is Catherine, and this is Pannis. ”

"You~good~", the liaison's voice was slow and hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken a lingua franca for a long time: "My name is McVeillin, whose proof is this?"

"It's our adventure group. Pannis preempted Catherine and replied, "All of us." ”

"Do you know what this is?" McWilling said slowly, "Do you know what it means?"

"Of course, our stuff, of course we know what. Pannis smiled and said: "This fast scale has no substantive meaning, but it is a symbol of friendship from the dragon, only a certain dragon recognizes, and the person who obtains its friendship can get this kind of scale from its chest and abdomen given by the dragon, that is to say, the person who holds this scale is a friend recognized by the dragon, and it is a good friend, it can be regarded as a kind of testimony of friendship." As for the owner of this fast scale in my hand, you should know it. ”

"It's strange, those two adults haven't left the Dragon Mountain Range for a long time, how can you ...... Oh, I see, it turns out you're one of those people. McWilling always spoke slowly, syllabic by syllable, but his mind was not slow at all, and he quickly understood the origin of the scales in Pannis's hand, nodded and said, "Since you are friends with the adult, you are also friends with our dragon worshippers, this ...... Catherine: What did you just say?"

"That's right. Catherine breathed a sigh of relief, this was a good start: "We want to get in touch with the dragon clan, so we hope that after you and the next liaison are handed over, we can go to the Bailong Dominion together, we are not familiar with the road on the snow field, let alone the location of the Bailong Dominion, if we can have you lead the way, we can save a lot of effort." ”

"I see. McWillin said, "Mura hasn't left yet, and I'll be here in about four days, so come to me then." (To be continued.) )
