The release of the mission submitted by the porter's guild is simply a spark that has fallen into the oil pot, and the guild that has been attacked by wild beasts, especially the chamber of commerce with strong financial resources, immediately pushed up the reward of the task.

The clever leather guilds and ready-to-wear guilds took the opportunity to drive down the purchase price of animal skins, but this still could not resist the torrent of loot. Fresh wolf skins have become the bulk of market transactions, not in bundles in the past, but in car-by-car units.

When winter was approaching, the originally tepid Blackwater Town suddenly burst out with amazing potential, even the rookie mercenaries who had just successfully transferred from the Free Folk brought their own weapons and rushed towards the vast desert wasteland with a roar.

Wild wolves gathered in packs, due to lack of food, have to hunt in pieces, lose the bonus of the wolf pack effect, and most of the lone wolves or small groups of wild wolves cannot escape the black hands of adventurers and mercenaries.

Not to mention the other territories in the north for the time being, at least in the surrounding area of the Gray Forest, the beast tide that had originally formed was severely defeated and lost its sharpness before it erupted, and the avalanche that was rolled up by its kind also came to an abrupt end.

Humans, once again raising their sharp swords in their hands, urged the wild wolves to be flooded, and forcibly imposed a large amount of wolf head tax, of course, including bloody fur, fluffy wolf tails, and sharp wolf claws, which were all incidental trophies when the tax was collected.

The food chain that nearly collapsed was brought to an end, as humans alertly wielded their butcher knives to wipe out a large number of remaining wolves, thus guiding the order of the wilderness back to its former balance.

Without any interference, the Porters' Guild was once again speeding up the construction of the road, or it could be said to be back to normal, and the whole story of the matter was learned by the Earl of Conrad when the purchaser Derek met with the owner of Baggen-Uttonburg and told the details of it himself.

The biggest promoter and initiator of this matter, the mage Rez, has also officially entered the vision of the powerful earl of the Northern Council, and Derek originally wanted to win the opportunity for his partner to meet, but Count Conrad took into account the background of the elves and the increasingly bad weather, so he generously promised.

"When the road connecting the two realms is officially opened, and Master Reze arrives at Bagen-Uttonburg by car from Blackwater, it will be the best time to meet. ”

After all, the buyer Derek has been following the earl for many years, and he immediately heard the implication that he wanted to see me, and wait for the next year!

A few days later, Lu Bin learned from Derek about Count Conrad's instructions, and he was originally a little angry in his heart, but considering that he was new to the city and was not familiar with the rules of the nobles' game, the necessary temptation and wait-and-see must be indispensable, so he comforted himself to calm down and do some results first.

With the aura of a legendary mage, he meddled in road construction projects and showed his skills in human resource organization and coordination, but he didn't expect that these would not be able to impress the real power of the Earl in the North.

Three more days later, in the middle of the frost moon, the first snow since the beginning of winter fell without warning, and the lead-gray clouds covered the sky, like thousands of smoky horses setting off from the polar snowfields, rushing south one after the other.

The snow continued to fall into the night, and the originally fine snow seeds gradually turned into goose feather-like snow, and the bustling town of Heishui was originally boiling in popularity, but under this irresistible natural power, it was still insignificant and not worth mentioning.

In the middle of the night, the fireplace in Lu Bin's room was filled with dry firewood twice to keep the room from becoming as cold as outside.

The Book of the Traveling Mage suddenly shook faintly, Lu Bin immediately opened it to check, and immediately frowned, it turned out that his "entourage" Nina Wild had a negative state of illness.

"What's the matter? Her physique is definitely at the level of a beast, and she will be struck down by disease?"

Lu Bin immediately got up and got out of bed, opened the door and turned to the next door, knocked lightly, but there was no movement inside. Before that, Nina Wild had already rushed to open the door.

He looked around, and saw that the second floor of the dimly lit tavern was very quiet, and he estimated that all the inhabitants had nothing to do but sleep on a snowy night, so he pressed the dagger he carried with him against the crack of the door, and gently lifted the latch behind the door.

"Squeak", the door slowly opened, Lu Bin couldn't help but shake his head, and then flashed into the room, squinted his eyes and walked in the dark room, according to the impression when he came in and out on weekdays, walked to the bed covered with woolen blankets.

Lu Bin intuitively stretched out his right hand, suddenly touched a soft thing, rubbed it a little hard, and suddenly understood that he had touched an important part of the noble girl, and enjoyed it for a while before leaving, and then slipped Nina Wilder's forehead with the back of his hand against the skin.

"It's hot! Oops, she's got a fever. ”

Lu Bin hurriedly bent down, picked up Nina Wild, and hurried out of her room, inevitably bumping into bumps during the process, but he couldn't help but ignore it.

Back in his room, Lu Bin slowly put Nina Wild on the bed and covered her with a thick woolen blanket.

In order to keep warm, he moved his bed to the vicinity of the fireplace, and took advantage of the fact that the fire grew larger after adding dry wood, and put a copper kettle on the iron tongs to boil water.

Later, Lu Bin took his cloth towel, opened the window and wrapped the large cloud of snow around him, and tied the knots at the four corners and placed them on Nina Wild's forehead to cool her down with a high fever.

The bitter cold of the winter snow made the dizzy Nina Wild regain a little consciousness, and when she saw a pair of concerned eyes, she couldn't help but want to cry, and then remembered her origin, and forcibly held back her tears.

Lu Bin became very keen, and immediately noticed the weakness of the aristocratic girl, thinking that she was sick and didn't care. Later, Nina Wild changed the cold snow towel a few times, poured the boiling hot water into a wooden cup, and waited for it to become warm water for her to eat, and then helped her sit up and poured a few bowls.

The aristocratic girl felt much better as she watched "Lord Rez" take care of herself slowly and methodically, and her originally scorched mouth was relieved by drinking plenty of water.

"Very good at taking care of people, not like a novice at all!"

Lu Bin's hands dug the snow outside the window several times, and his palms were red from the frozen ground, so he sat at the head of the bed and roasted the fire in the red-hot fireplace.

"Of course, I'm specially trained...... Well, it's not training, at most it's just observation and learning, after all, the caster's physique is usually very worrying. ”

When Nina Wild heard "Lord Rez" talk about her past, she suddenly became interested and felt much better: "What about you, why do you look so good?"

"I am different from those flowers that are kept in greenhouses, I am a wandering mage who travels around, looking for the crystallization of knowledge and wisdom in the ruined ruins and the ruins of a declining civilization, and has the physique of a traveler, which is definitely not comparable to ordinary mages. ”

The aristocratic girl immediately understood: "When I was a child, I had a dream that I wanted to leave everything and go to the vast world outside, and walk around to have a look. Later, when I grew up, I realized the hardships of life, and the self-deception of barely maintaining dignity in the decline of my family, everything changed. ”

Lu Bin glanced at her sideways, "Don't think too much, and don't put too much pressure on yourself." With me here, everything will be fine. ”

Nina Wild nodded slightly, she was the one who had seen first-hand how the "Mage Rez" had gained a foothold, and knew that this lord was good at managing his men, running a thriving porter's guild, and good at dealing with wealthy nobles, and building friendships from scratch.

"I believe you!" Rez ...... I love!"

The front is okay, Lu Bin can still hear it, as for the back words, the sound is already low to the level of the light chirp of mosquitoes, and he can't understand it at all.

The aristocratic girl thought that she had a plan, and she was fiercely obscene in her heart, and then she saw the thinly dressed mage Rez, who was doing a fire at the bedside, and hurriedly pulled her hand out of the woolen blanket and touched his cold arm.

"How can you do it so cold? No matter how good your constitution is, you will get sick, so let's go to bed!"

Lu Bin's heart pounded heavily when he heard the words to go to bed, but he estimated that Nina Wild, who had a fever, definitely didn't mean that, so he didn't think about it that way, just nodded lightly and lifted the corner of the quilt.

With a "swoop", he had already gotten into the bed, and unexpectedly, Nina Wild's hot body immediately pasted over.

"Hey, I said, your high fever hasn't gone away yet, so you'd better stay still. ”

Nina Wild didn't listen to the persuasion and let go, "You've been too busy lately. I often can't see you when I'm busy, and it's rare that we have the opportunity to be alone, I think...... I want to ......"

Lu Bin found that she had no substantive action, but couldn't say "I want to think", and understood that Nina Wild was just a momentary impulse, and the helplessness of the illness made her try to grasp something as support and support, and taking care of herself carefully became the most suitable target.

"Actually, I can take care of you......"

Lu Bin looked down at the aristocratic girl and found that she had fallen asleep, obviously using up the last of Nina Wild's strength just now.

"Even death can't separate us! In fact, I can take care of you for the rest of my life. ”

Outside the window, the snow was still falling, and there was no clear dividing line between heaven and earth. In the room, the aristocratic girl was pillowed on Lu Bin's right hand, and the abnormal flushing on her face was fading.

"It's really uncomfortable to lie down and sleep, with this free girl's pillow, I still sleep with her in my arms, it's more comfortable!"

Lu Bin slowly got up sideways, grabbed the woolen blanket that had slipped, and hugged Nina Wild in his arms, and the night passed slowly like this.
