616 Glacier Lake Tavern
(); There is a glacial lake in the northernmost part of North Fuzhou.
The northernmost part of Beifuzhou, itself is one of the coldest places in the entire Tianqiong Continent, this ice lake has been frozen for many years, the ice layer is as thick as ten zhang, and you can only see the snow-white ice surface, and you can't see the water flowing below at all.
The ice is clear, with blue skies and white clouds reflected during the day, starry skies at night, and the occasional aurora shining up and down. Although it is extremely cold here, it is impossible for non-high-level mechanics to walk here, but it is indeed an extremely beautiful place.
Mechanics rarely set foot here.
One is because there are no scarce resources here, and the other is because this ice lake is the place where the Knights of Divine Punishment are stationed!
There wasn't a single mechanic who wanted to see the Knights of Divine Punishment.
The nearest city to this place is White Feather Castle.
The vicinity of White Feather City is rich in a bird called the White Feather Crane, which is a third-class alien beast that lives in groups. The feathers of the White Feather Crane are extremely warm, and most of the inhabitants of White Feather Castle wear thick jackets made of it to protect against the cold.
White Feather City is not a bustling city, there is a small crystal mine near it, and the mine specializes in a special wood called crystal wood. It is because of this that there are people stationed here, and occasionally some foreign mechanics will stay here for a while and turn to the iceberg of Beihu Lake.
When the weather is cold, good wine is a must-have.
There is only one tavern in White Feather City, called the Ice Lake Bar. From morning till night, it's full of people, mostly locals.
That afternoon, it was not yet dark, and there was not even a single place left in the tavern. Everyone knows each other well. Drinking wine and eating meat while laughing loudly.
“...... The thunderbolts, each one thicker than a bucket of water! Coming down from the sky, my mother, the sound shook my little heart and pounded!"
The person with the "careful liver" is a two-meter-tall man with arms thicker than people's thighs. He gestured to the orchid finger and patted his chest, and several people next to him rolled their eyes in unison.
A thin man, who was only half the size of a big man, grabbed his wine glass, lowered his voice, and said, "But the thunder is so loud that the man's screams can still be heard clearly!
They were discussing the divine punishment of the ancient battlefield a month ago. In fact. This month has been going on. It is the biggest topic in every tavern and every person in North Fuzhou.
Everyone was like this, terrified, scared, and excited about the process.
White Feather City also has a guild of institutions. All of those present had witnessed the process of divine punishment at that time. That's when I looked back. Their faces turned pale. He nodded in fear.
The thin man had just opened his mouth and was about to continue talking, when a cold wind suddenly drifted in. Clashing with the heating in the house, stirring up a small wind.
At some point, the door of the tavern was silently pushed open, and a young man stood by the door, his eyes swept inside, as if looking for a seat.
Stranger!
Everyone in the tavern looked at the young man at the same time, and exchanged a tacit look.
The young man was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, his face was pale and slightly blue, and he didn't know if it was like this, or if he was frozen by the cold.
He wore a thin black leather jacket, which was made of the skin of a bell sheep and was very common in Northern Fuzhou. Elsewhere, it may be enough, but it can't withstand the cold of the northern glacial lakes!
There were people at every table in the Ice Lake Bar, and the young man couldn't find a seat, so he had to walk to the bar and ask, "Is there anything to eat here?"
Before the bartender could speak, a middle-aged man squeezed to the young man with a wine glass, grabbed his shoulder, and said affectionately: "What are you going to eat on such a cold day, come, drink a glass of wine to warm up!" Little worm, give him a glass of golden aurora, I please!"
The bartender nodded, and a moment later, a glass of wine was pushed in front of the youth.
The glass of wine was transparent and clear, but there was a golden aurora floating in the middle, which was gorgeous and moving, and it was very beautiful.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Well, pretty! This is the worm's unique skill, and you must add ice sturgeon wine to make it." Ice sturgeon wine, but it's a specialty of our White Feather City!"
The young man raised his wine glass, shook it in front of his eyes, nodded and smiled, "It's really beautiful." As he spoke, he drank the wine, and a flush immediately swept across his face.
It's great, look at it like this, this kid doesn't drink much!
The middle-aged man was even happier, and said enthusiastically: "Come on, come on, the little worm will serve this brother a plate of fish and meat rice!
The fish is tender and sweet, with no fishy smell at all, and it is amazingly delicious with a special sauce.
The middle-aged man still huddled around him and asked kindly, "Little brother, what's your name?Is it the first time you've come to our White Feather City?What are you doing?Do you need a guide?"
The young man said while eating, "My name is Zhiri, and I have come to White Feather City for the first time. As he spoke, some excitement appeared on his face, and he turned his head to stare at the middle-aged man, his eyes shining, "I'm here to find the Divine Punishment Knights!"
When the middle-aged man invited this young man named Zhiri to drink and eat, the drinkers next to him peeked at this side, all of them laughing secretly, as if they were waiting to see something good.
But as soon as the words "Divine Punishment Knights" came out, their faces immediately changed. All of a sudden, the tavern was silent, and everyone was silent!
The middle-aged man immediately moved away from Zhiri, and said in a trembling voice: "You, you are looking for ...... What are you going to do with those grown-ups?"
Zhiri ate the rice on the plate cleanly, and there was not a single grain left. He squinted his eyes in satisfaction and said with a big grin, "I adore them and want to follow in their footsteps!"
It turned out to be a silly boy!
In an instant, the tavern was rejuvenated, and everyone snickered again.
The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief and looked at him strangely: "Follow in the footsteps of those adults? This is not an easy task! All of those adults were directly assigned by the temple...... You don't know that, do you?"
Zhiri was deflated all of a sudden, and he said dejectedly: "I know, I also thought about going to Central Kunzhou, but after thinking about it, I decided to come here first." I want to inquire about the news of the seniors of the Knights......" He suddenly turned his head, looked at the middle-aged man enthusiastically, and asked, "Uncle, White Feather City is the closest city to the Northern Ice Lake, you should know some news, right?"
The middle-aged man stepped back, shook his head vigorously, and said, "How is it possible! Who dares to inquire about the news of those adults!"
Zhiri asked, "Haven't you seen them yet?"
"See, I've seen it......"
The Knights of Divine Punishment live in the northern glacial lakes and basically do not come to White Feather City. But the people of White Feather City will occasionally go to the Ice Lake.
For example, the ice sturgeon, which is used to mix wine by small insects, grows in the depths of glacial lakes, and although it is extremely difficult to catch, because of its special flavor, people continue to dig the ice surface.
The people of the Knights of Divine Punishment live and train in the Ice Lake, and sometimes the people of White Feather City will bump into them.
"Those Divine Punishment Knights deserve to have lived in the Ice Lake for many years, and in my opinion, they were frozen by the cold wind of the Ice Lake even with their faces, bodies and hearts!"
The sky was already dark, the middle-aged man's face was flushed, his voice was much louder than just now, and he even had the courage to comment on the Divine Punishment Knight.
There were a lot of wine glasses in front of him, and the young man in front of him felt more and more pleasing to the eye.
He pulled a person next to him, pressed his head and said, "By the way, Lao He, Lao He has seen the Divine Punishment Knight! Quick, tell me what kind of situation was it at that time?"
Lao He is about the same age as a middle-aged man, and he is also drunk, but his speech is quite clear.
He slapped his thigh and said loudly: "Just now my old wife was greedy and told me that she wanted to eat the scaleless herring in the ice lake! So I went! Scaleless herring, as you know, is very flexible, and can only be caught in the crevices of the ice southwest of the ice lake. On that day, I was unlucky, and I finally came across one, and it wanted to run along the crack in the ice. How could I let it escape!"
The people next to him nodded one after another and said, "Yes, Lao He's skills are first-class in us!"
Seeing that I was about to catch that damn thing, a cold gust of wind came from front and blew me out. I looked, good fellow, I forgot to chase the fish, and bumped into the two Divine Punishment Knights!"
"Only two?"
"yes, just two! They seem to be patrolling that area, and they happened to bump into me. Old Joe was right, the Divine Punishment Knight, it was made of ice! They didn't say a word, they didn't say anything, and they blew me away. I flew so far that I fell to the ground and broke my thigh with a thump. If it weren't for luck, Wang Erdan happened to pass by and dragged me back, maybe I would have died there!"
He spoke very lightly, with a smile on his face, as if it were just a joke. But I also know that in a place like the Northern Ice Lake, breaking your thigh in the wild is almost a dead word!
Zhiri glanced at Lao He apologetically, he claimed to be a fan of the Divine Punishment Knight, and the Divine Punishment Knight did this kind of thing, and he also felt a little embarrassed.
Lao He didn't take it to heart, his face was flushed, and he said with a smile: "I'm really lucky, I picked up a life, my old woman was frightened, from that day to now, she no longer dares to talk to me, it's really a blessing in disguise!"
Zhiri suddenly asked, "Uncle He, there were only two Divine Punishment Knights you met at that time?"
Lao He said with certainty: "That's right, it's just two! It should be a small group, coming out to patrol!"
Lao and this are close contacts, and there are many people who have seen the Divine Punishment Knight from afar on the ice lake. Their usual practice is to run away when they see it, and it doesn't get in the way of the Divine Punishment Knight, and it's usually fine.
They reminisced about the situation.
Zhiri nodded again and again when he heard this, and kept toasting. In the end, everyone in the tavern was drunk, and even the bartender was poured down. Zhiri sat alone at the bar with a sober expression.
"Patrol in groups......" he muttered, narrowing his eyes. (To be continued......)
