"Alright, stop making trouble. Pannis patted his blue hand, which was still humming, and comforted: "We didn't lie to you, it's just that you may not be able to drink this wine." But I promise you, when we're done, we'll be sending you a few barrels of spirits in a few days, and you'll be able to taste them. However, I doubt you will like it, after all, alcohol does not have any effect on your body, and it is difficult to experience the feeling we are talking about based on the taste alone. ”

"It's okay, as long as it can be fresh, but don't make me wait for so many years. Lan Shou thought for a while, nodded and said, "And prepare more, I'm going to share it with my friends to drink, ah, by the way, I'm here with my friends, you have to bake food for me, I like that, my friends and I want to eat it." ”

"The others are your friends. Pannis glanced into the mist and said, "Why didn't you come together?"

"I forgot. Blue Hand patted his head, stood up and let out a series of strange shouts into the fog. Soon, with various responses, three more ice crystals emerged from the fog.

The ice crystals are very strange in appearance, and their body sizes are also very different, like the ice form of the blue hand is an iceberg more than ten meters high, the human form is also a giant more than five meters tall, and the other three have nothing like the blue hand in the same place. The first is a large ice concess, about three meters in diameter, the ice hockey has no hands and feet, and the way of action is actually rolling, the second is a sharp ice pick more than seven meters long, thin at the top and thick at the bottom, the tail end of the ice pick stretches out two slender legs like the blue hand just now, which is the result of the mixing of ice form and human form, as for the third, if it is not reminded by the blue hand, I am afraid everyone will have to wait until they get close to notice. Because the third one is a square block of ice, but it is only more than 30 centimeters long, and the ice cube does not walk on its own, but sticks to the body of the ice pick. Driven forward by icicles. The language of ice crystals they use to communicate is also special, with high and low pronunciations that sound like the sound of ice cubes colliding with each other. It's like the grinding sound of the ice cracking. The pronunciation of this language is very chaotic, and some syllables are impossible to pronounce normally with human voices, but there is no difficulty for the ice crystals, who have used this language to communicate with each other since ancient mythological times.

Three ice crystals approached, and the ice cubes stuck to the back of the ice pick fell off first. In the air, it exploded into a cloud of ice mist like a blue hand, and when it appeared in front of everyone again, it had turned into an iceman who was only more than thirty centimeters tall, and everyone's eyes were attracted by this little thing, and when they looked up again, the other two people had already completed the transformation of form.

The Icicle Transformer is tall, almost as tall as a blue-handed human, but is relatively thin, narrower than a normal human, and has long hands and feet. Three-quarters of the height was occupied by both legs, and the height of one calf was already higher than Catherine's. As for the other one of the puck transformations, it is a round iceman, that is, about the same height as the current shrunken blue hand, and the width is relatively close to the height.

"You two must have a common language. Vivien bumped Freya with her elbow and whispered, "I think you two are good friends and can discuss a lot of things together." ”

"The first thing to talk about is how to beat you up. Freya squinted at Vivien and said dissatisfiedly, "You fool wait and see, it's better to pray that your illness will never be cured, otherwise you will be cured." Lina and I will make you cry and you can't cry, wait, that day is not far off, hum. ”

"Do you think I'm going to be afraid of you? Absurd. Vivien stuck out her tongue under the scarf covering her face, twisted her face and snorted softly, shook her head and said, "When I have the strength, it won't be who is crying." ”

The two mages and scholars quarreled in a low voice without the slightest grace or decency, but it did not affect the fact that Blue Hand introduced his friends to Pannisy and Catherine: "The youngest is obtuse, when he was born. There is a horn that is not sharp from the other seven, as if a small piece is missing, so it is called an obtuse angle. The thinnest one is called 4.5 degrees, and her body shape is not conical, and the top angle is 4.5 degrees to the right. And the round one is called the ball, because it's the most standard ball of all the ice crystals. The three of them can understand your lingua franca, but they haven't learned your pronunciation yet, so they can't speak the lingua franca, so I can translate for them. Okay, now that we're done, when are you going to bake us food?"

"Uh, okay, okay, I'll bake you now. Pannis sighed helplessly, and said to Catherine: "Let's camp and rest a little earlier today, otherwise I will probably be killed by them, they are too capable of making trouble." ”

"Yes. Catherine said with a smile: "Anyway, when we hid the newborn rift just now, everyone was already tired of running, and it would be good to rest now." It's not enough, there's no shelter around here, it's dangerous to rest like this, even if you don't get attacked by the demonic beasts that pass by, you'll be frozen to death by the low temperature at night. ”

"Don't worry, the situation is much better than I expected, with these ice crystals, we won't even have to make our own shelters, and they will help us solve the bunker problem. Pannis shouted to Blue Hands, who were tinkling with his companions, "Hey, Blue Hands, if you want to eat barbecue, help us build a house first, or we won't be able to roast it." ”

"It's easy. Blue Hand stopped talking and slapped his hand on the ground, and a few minutes later, a house was built. It is not accurate to say that it is a house, it should be said that this is a semi-circular sphere building, the sphere is five or six meters high, and there is a hole on the edge of one side that is considered a gate, the gate is very high, and it is completely possible for a creature with a height of three or four meters to pass through, and at the very top of the sphere, there is a small round hole that can be used for ventilation. It is a building made of ice, all of which are made of transparent ice, and when Blue Hand clapps his hand on the ground, the ice on the ground changes, and the ice begins to slowly increase in height, starting from the walls of the bunker. It only took three or four minutes for the embarrassing house to be built, and Blue Hand stood up and waved at the three friends, and after thinking about it at the current highest, he also broke off one of his legs, throwing his original body aside, and making himself a smaller size of himself, so that he could enter the gate of the bunker.

Looking into the bunker through the doorless door, there was a lot of space inside. It's big enough for more than a dozen people to move around and play in it, and it doesn't feel crowded at all. The girls of the party looked at each other, clearly surprised by what they saw. However, there are many facets to the adventurous life. The girls have seen a lot of strange things, so they didn't be surprised for long, and walked inside with the ice crystals.

Once in the bunker, the temperature did not rise, but the ubiquitous cold wind on the ice field could no longer affect the members of the party. All of a sudden, I felt a lot more comfortable. The ice crystals that came first were already sitting in the corner, staring straight at Pannis. Pannis smiled wryly and said to Vivien, "Heat up this place with a flame, otherwise it won't be so easy to light a fire and barbecue." ”

"Isn't it okay if it heats up?" Vivien looked at the ice walls around her, "I'm worried that when it heats up, these ice will melt away, and those ice crystals won't melt with them?"

"You're underestimating them. Pannis shook his head and explained, "They are elemental creatures themselves, they are naturally friendly to the ice element, and they can freely manipulate ice and snow, as long as you don't use high-intensity fire attribute magic to scorch them for a long time, they will be fine." Just a simple increase in temperature will not affect them at all. As for this igloo, Blue Hand has automatically solidified the ice element when making it, even if it is ignited directly on the ground, it will not melt a little, which is much safer than what we made ourselves. So you can rest assured that it will heat up, and it will be okay. ”

"That's good, it seems that I can live a lot more comfortably these days than I did on the snow before. Vivien nodded, took a bottle of potion into her palm, and exhaled. A dancing flame rose from the palm of his hand. The mage girl closed her eyes and recited a few incantations, and the flames in her palms immediately burned vigorously, and the scale of the flames became larger and larger.

As the magical flame burned, the room grew warmer and warmer. The girls had taken off the outermost coat, but they still felt a little hot. As Pannis said, not only did the ice wall show no signs of melting, but even the ground, which everyone thought was ordinary ice and snow, remained dry without any signs of melting.

Pannis nodded in satisfaction. Removing the Crystal Furnace from his backpack and activating it, an open flame emerges from the furnace, dancing blue and yellow light on the surface of the furnace. Several ice crystals are not afraid of this level of flames, but not being afraid does not mean liking, they are naturally more averse to the fire element, they try to sit close to the ice wall, to the greatest extent possible to the flame they hate. Ignoring them, Pennis took out the grill and various condiments and arranged them one by one, and dug out some of the beasts he had hunted in the snow from his backpack.

One of the biggest troubles in the adventure is the problem of food preservation. Adventurers often hunt a large beast hard, before they have time to eat a day or two, the meat begins to spoil, can only regret the spoiled food abandoned, of course, with smoked treatment can also slightly slow down the speed of deterioration, but in the dangerous environment of adventure, no one will have the leisure to spend a day or two to smoke meat, rather than wasting time like this, it is better to hurry up and hunt a beast again.

For this reason, the adventurers have tried many ways to preserve the remaining food, but there has been no significant success.

However, these are the problems of adventures elsewhere, which simply do not occur on ice and snow. One of the biggest advantages of venturing in this environment is that the food can be stored for a long, long time, and there is no need to think about spoilage, and the natural cold can solve all this problem.

Pannis picked up the legs of the unknown beasts, these beasts were hunted to stop vomiting, they were all preliminarily treated, the fur had already been stripped off, and the abdominal cavity had been cleaned, so it was completely impossible to see the original species of the beast, only that it was a four-legged walking animal.

Cutting off the hind legs of his prey, Pannis, while finely processing the material, said to the ice crystals, "Blue Hand, why did you suddenly appear here?

"A couple of us came out to play. The Frost Giant explained, "It came out more than seven years ago, and I met a human once a few years ago. But those humans aren't fun at all, and they know that walking with their heads down is not like you who make the fire show dance. However, a few of those manpower finally fell asleep on the ice field, and the others made it out of the ice field without any problems. ”

"That's a coincidence. Pannis said, "I thought it would take a lot of effort to find you, but I didn't expect to meet you directly, so I was so lucky." ”

"It's not a coincidence. Blue Hand shook his head and said, "We're chasing a weird orb." The orb will stretch its body into a membrane and jump on the ground. By the way, you've seen it, yellow-haired dwarfs, and there are quite a few creatures of this kind on the ice field. "Although the kind is different. “

"Well, I did, and it should be the one you're chasing, and we almost got attacked by it. Pannis said, "But what are you chasing after that creature, it doesn't seem to be a threat to you, why do you have to chase him?"

"It's fun. Blue Hand replied as a matter of course: "The bouncy ball, which can jump and roll on the ice, looks like it is fun, and we really want to catch one, so we keep chasing him behind." However, the intelligence of this creature is too low, and I guess even if I play with him, it doesn't mean much, so I might as well come and play with you. ”

"Well, you're chasing him for fun. Pannis sighed and said, "Besides, we're not here to play with you, we're here to the ice field, but we have something very important to do." ”

"It's okay, you don't have to pay for it. Blue Hand said, "You humans are so interesting, we just have to watch from the sidelines." By the way, I seem to have forgotten to ask, why did you come to the ice field? Did you just bring me wine?"

"No, no, no, we have something very important to do. Pannis shook his head and said, "And we still need your help in this matter, we need to find a relic under the ice field, I hope you can help us find it." (To be continued.) )
