Chapter 349 The greatest function of morality is to condemn the conscience, but if there is no heart, morality has no effect

The winding caravan is like a giant snake struggling to move forward in winter, slowly swimming on the ice field. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The Info Ice Sheet is called an ice field because it is covered with snow and ice all day long, and even in summer, the temperature here remains below freezing. There is no land all year round, countless ice and snow cover the ground, and under the extreme freezing, the entire ice field is like a huge ice sculpture. Everywhere, it is covered in a thick layer of ice.

It was extremely difficult to walk on such ice, so the caravan installed a steel nail specially designed for walking on the ice on the wheels of the carriage, which had to be replaced almost every more than thirty kilometers or so, which also increased the cost of transportation. In addition, all the animals used to pull the carts are the yak endemic to Demalagus, which is called Peteran, which has very long cow hair, and the outermost layer of dense cow hair forms a layer of frost due to the ice and snow. But under the frost, each cow's hair is extraordinarily fluffy, forming a natural excellent thermal insulation layer, allowing Peter'an yaks to survive on the cold ice field.

Horse-drawn carriages are difficult to travel, and it is especially difficult for people to walk on the ice, and the smooth ice can make people fall if they are not careful, and only the native-born ice brutes can adapt to the ice surface of the ice field. Most people were crammed into several carriages, which had a magic pedestal on the chassis that provided a certain temperature to the carriages. In order to save Tiberium Crystals, only when the temperature in the carriage drops below 10 degrees Celsius will the magic circuit be activated to create warmth.

This caravan has been walking for almost half a month, and seeing that the holy mountain is within reach, the leader in charge of leading the team finally breathes a sigh of relief. It was the fastest time they had ever reached the foot of the Holy Mountain, and they had to face not only the cold, but also the ice beasts that came out to harass them from time to time. On the ice field, humans are just a snack for these ice beasts, and every time they face the ice beasts, they have to face a certain loss.

Unless it's to hire a team of Ice Barbarians, but while Ice Barbarians are stupid, they aren't cheap.

Fortunately, during this time, the ice barbarians suddenly increased their trade, and those ice beasts were said to have been hiding to the extreme.

The convoy slowly stopped, and the humans stepped out of the crowded carriages, one by one, their necks hunched and their hands folded, shivering in the cold wind of minus 20 degrees. They are constantly moving back and forth, and if they stay in one place for a long time, they will soon have their body temperature drop to a terrible level.

"There are twenty carts and four hundred boxes, you can count them. The team leader took out a list and handed it to the ice barbarians in front of him, there were only three ice barbarians, living in a simple animal skin, one of them was still bare half of his shoulders, they were all emitting heat, and the heat was rising above their heads. It seems that the ice barbarian is not afraid of the cold, and the team leader has even seen the ice barbarian with Chiguo wearing his upper body and only wearing a beast skin skirt.

This ice man is two meters three or four tall, so the team leader must look up. The thick beard on Bingman's face covered his facial features, revealing only his forehead and eyes, and the rest of the place was covered by the beard. This Bingman took the list, looked at it, and nodded. Sometimes this world is so wonderful, most of the Ice Barbarians seem to be literate, and each tribe has someone who is specifically responsible for teaching people literacy and simple calculations, if it comes to universal education, it may be that the Ice Barbarians are the most educated race in the whole world.

What an irony for the arrogant Desi!

The three Bing Man looked at the boxes that had been brought out of the carriage, opened them one by one, and the shiny cut Tiberium hedron was quietly huddled together. The shock of a whole 400 boxes and 10,000 standard units of Tiberium spar is absolutely indescribable. The price of the Tiberium hedron here is already over 100,000 gold coins! This is just one transaction, although the volume is somewhat large.

"Very well, you are trustworthy friends. Bingman's tone is a bit stiff, they also have their own language, it is said to be a very old language, some people once wanted to learn, but unfortunately Bingman is not willing to teach anyone to master their language. "When will the next batch arrive?"

The two ice barbarians picked up the iron rod with the thick legs of the child and smashed the ten-meter-high Xiaoice mountain on the side, revealing the neatly arranged giant beast head inside. The beast's brain is extremely delicate, and with a little force, it can be pressed against the top of the palate with its tongue to squeeze it into a rich and fragrant pulp. In addition to the very delicious taste of this juice itself, it also has a very special effect, which is the illusion.

The person who takes it is controlled by an intense hallucination in which they become omnipotent and all their dreams come true. In the past, it was rare for the Ice Barbarians to trade the brains of giant beasts, making this kind of thing something that only a few people could enjoy. But in recent times, the Ice Barbarians have liberalized their trading volumes, which has made the merchants overjoyed, and they are eager to spend all their money on this kind of thing.

In fact, there are only more than thirty heads of this pile of giant beasts, and they can dissect about twenty catties of beast brains, which is still too few in the face of the huge aristocratic class.

The team leader shook his head a little annoyed, "The transaction may have to be suspended for a while. ”

Bing Man frowned when he heard this, he bent down and put his head in front of the leader, and the huge sense of oppression made the leader have to take a step back. The Bing Man lifted his beard, revealing a child's mouth, and a mouthful of sharp, yellowed teeth, "Are you treacherous Desi going to raise prices again?"

These merchants have not been less involved in this kind of thing, and they can always find all kinds of reasons to raise the price of their goods and then exchange them for more supplies.

The team leader hurriedly shook his head, in this ice field, Bing Man is the undisputed overlord. The cold and freezing weather alone is enough to defeat a lot of opponents.

"There is a great nobleman from the south who is coming to Demalagus, and our deal has alarmed the emperor from the south, and he may be against us. So we had to stay in the city honestly during this time and wait for him to leave before we could continue trading. Otherwise, there is a good chance that we will be caught and killed by him, and you will never find a merchant like us again. The leader's words were full of demagoguery and incitement, and he exaggerated Wren's threat as much as possible, and the purpose was self-evident.

That is, he hopes that in this way, he will make Wren angry with these Bing Man, who have never even met in person, and maybe Ice Man is willing to solve the trouble of Ren for them. Even if the Emperor was angry, it didn't have anything to do with them, it was a problem between Wren and these Ice Barbarians.

Bingman straightened up and nodded thoughtfully, "I'll tell the High Priest about this." ”

The team leader's face tightened, but the snickering joy in his eyes betrayed him, "I don't want the trade to be suspended either, I hope the high priest can understand our distress." ”

Soon, the caravan stuffed the giant head of the giant beast into the carriage, and the caravan began to turn around, slowly moving towards the warm world. Behind them, dozens of ice barbarians quietly appeared, and they carried boxes of Tiberium spars and disappeared into the wind and snow.

In the temple at the foot of the sacred mountain, the huge icicles are more than twenty meters high, enough for five or six people to hug each other. The simple but solemn style made the Bing Man who walked in here deliberately slow down his breathing, for fear of alarming the sleeping gods in the temple. They stacked the chests neatly in a corner of the temple, where there were already mountains of chests filled with all sorts of supplies.

One of them walked into the hall and knelt in the center of the hall, his forehead resting on the ice. The ice was soon melted into a finger-thick pit by the temperature on his forehead, and the melted water continued to condense into ice and melt again.

"Born a holy high priest, the trade of the Desi needs to be suspended for a while. ”

On the empty altar in front of him, there was a slight vibration suddenly, and the ice crystals quickly gathered together from all sides of the platform, and these ice crystals fused with each other as if they were alive, and finally turned into a human form. The humanoid ice sculpture trembled, the outermost ice crystals turned into fragments and scattered, and an expressionless woman in a pale blue dress burst out of it. She glanced at Bing Man crawling on the ground, opened her lips, and uttered a clear syllable, "Oh?"

The ice barbarian didn't dare to raise his head, and said directly: "It is said that there is a nobleman from the south who wants to review the trade between the Desi profiteers and us, and the profiteers need to suspend for a while before they can continue trading. He hesitated, "Do you want to kill that nobleman?"

The High Priestess looked up at the south, her gaze penetrating the infinite distance, and she suddenly frowned, "Where is the tribe closest to Demalagus?"

"It's the Moontree Division, which is only three days away from Demalagu, but the Moontree Division is only a small tribe with more than seventy clansmen. ”

"If the guy from the south doesn't leave within a month, let the Tsukishu Department do it. The moment the woman finished speaking, the whole person turned into countless ice crystals and shattered, as if she had never existed.

"Your people do your will!"

At the same time, Wren, who was less than five days away from De Malagu, suddenly frowned, the golden wreath of thorns in his left eye spun rapidly, and he faintly felt that a strange force seemed to be watching him. A faint fluctuation of divine power came out of his eyes, turning into a trace of golden light that was difficult to see with the naked eye, instantly breaking through the power in the void.

His face became serious, and the sudden turn of events filled him with an inexplicable fear about De Malagu's trip, as if the trip had not gone as smoothly as he had imagined.

"What's wrong?", Jasmine sat opposite Wren with a thin sword, and the change in Wren's expression was seen by her. It's a pity that she doesn't have divine power, and she can't detect the abnormality in Wren's left eye, but she only feels that for a moment, Wren's left eye is exceptionally bright, "Is there something wrong?"

The golden wreath of thorns in Wren's eyes slowly hidden, and he shook his head with a smile, "This is a sudden feeling, I'm afraid we won't be as simple as I thought this time." ”

Jasmine tightened the thin sword in her arms solemnly, but when she thought of the increasingly cold weather, she breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, my lord, with me, you won't be in danger." She showed a rare look of arrogance and explained: "The colder the place my battle qi is, the more powerful it is. And this time it's ......", her face was instantly filled with excitement, "I may break through to level seven!"
