Chapter 43: Arriving at Fuyuhabara
Eventually, Jacqueline and her gang finally understood what the dwarves meant by "not far away". Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoThe Arctic has a unique and interesting phenomenon, polar day and polar night. And the closer you get to the North Pole, the more obvious this phenomenon becomes, it is summer, and it is in the polar day of the Arctic, and the further north you go, the days are getting longer and longer, and the nights are getting shorter and shorter, and in the end, the night is completely gone, and there are only endless days as snowy land.
The "not far" that the dwarves said was set in this case, after all, on a day of polar daylight, it was only a day to go to Fuyuhabara!
Although the sun seemed to spread endlessly over the land now, it still could not dispel the cold of the north wind, and according to the two dwarves, the towering snow-capped mountains along the way were made entirely of snow and ice, which had gone through countless years and never melted.
It's really hard to have a hard time in the daytime, and Jacqueline, Jessieph, and Colleen, three girls who are not used to the North Pole, are tormented by this phenomenon of day and night, and their bodies are getting weaker and weaker.
Even the strongest Jesse Fer has been behaving abnormally for a while. Chu Shou overheard the girls whispering, only to learn that because of the discomfort of day and night, Jessie's body functions were disordered, resulting in an early menstrual period.
Fortunately, the dwarves had been preparing for the polar day for many years, and they took out a pendulum clock from the space and divided the day into twelve periods in the city, and every six hours reminded several unwell maidens: "It's time to rest".
But the dazzling sunlight still seriously affected the girl's sleep quality, although Jacqueline found the sleep eye mask prepared for everyone by the self-proclaimed Alexander girl from the action space, but the effect was not as good as the dark night given by nature.
Under the torment of this suffering, Jacqueline and the others did not know how long they walked, and at some point, they suddenly heard Kercer shouting, "It's here!"
Hearing this, Chu Shou suddenly wanted to sing a famous lyric: "How much suffering have we endured to usher in today's liberation!"
As one of the people who had never seen the horrors of the North Pole, Chu Shou was not doing well. The climate was changing so fast that his body did not have the fat it needed to prepare for the winter, so his tentacles often froze to death and had to be amputated in pain.
Looking at the scarred summoned beast, Jacqueline was very distressed, she wanted to put Chu Shou in the summoning space many times and no longer let him come out. However, it was not long before the highly autonomous summoned beast slipped into the cockpit again against the wishes of its owner.
"Looks like Monroe likes you, Mr. Kerser. After countless failures, Jacqueline finally compromised, she had to make some excess cotton cloth into small clothes and wear them on Chu Shou - although this had little effect, but looking at Jacqueline's icy red fingers trembling and holding the small padded jacket that was carefully sewn with needle and thread, Chu Shou felt extremely warm.
Hearing this, the drunk driver laughed, touched Chu Shou's smooth head with his rough big hand full of alcohol, and jokingly said: "Hahaha, Monroe, you little girl, don't you like me as a handsome guy, it's not good, I have a fiancée!"
Hearing this, Chu Shou was so angry that he almost wanted to jump up and slap the drunk's knee - bastard, if it weren't for your dangerous behavior of playing drunk driving, would Lao Tzu need to work so hard to guard!?
But Chu Shou's anger only made his tentacle monster's body appear funny, making Kether laugh even more happily.
In the face of this drunk driver, Chu Shou had no choice but to concentrate on his supervision all the way.
When they heard that they were about to reach their destination, everyone was excited, and everyone rushed to the deck to look at their destination, despite the cold. Even Colleen dragged her unhealed body out with Jessefer's help.
After a terrible journey, the legendary kingdom of the Dwarves, the Kingdom of Sainz, is now unfolding in front of everyone!
Since the kingdom of Sainz was founded by the dwarves after they had fled, they chose a safe place - in a territory surrounded by mountains in the far north.
Thus the first thing that appeared before the arrival was a huge wall at the entrance of the mountains. This column of walls alone was enough to make all the arriving races marvel at the dwarven construction smelting technology.
More than 50 percent of the walls are made of stainless steel, which makes them look extremely hard. The top of the wall connects the middle of the two separate giant icebergs at the pass, forming a steep enclosure.
This city wall couldn't help but make Jacqueline and the gang stunned, and Chu Shou, who had seen a lot on the earth, also felt incredible.
The two icebergs are towering into the sky, at least more than 5,000 meters above sea level, and given that this may be a plateau, the two mountains are at least 2,000 meters above the ground. The city wall is halfway up the two mountains, at least a thousand meters high. This is already much higher than the human buildings known to Chu Shou on the earth, not to mention that these two city walls were built to resist foreign enemies, and the thickness is more than ten times or even hundreds of times that of human buildings on the earth, and the majesty of this project can no longer be described in words.
What is surprising is that the country of the dwarves, surrounded by snow-capped mountains, is directly above the land, on the top of the mountains, and the snow-capped land, there is actually a terrible black fog. Underneath the black fog are a large number of "thin lines" connected by what appear to be exhaust gases emitted by human chimneys.
Yes, this black gas, to put it nicely, is black fog, to be more real, it is the pollution released by the dwarven coal burning, due to the inconvenience of the terrain, this thing is now entrenched above the dwarven kingdom, difficult to expel it.
The dwarves were expelled by humans and elves because of serious pollution, and after so many years, their old problem has not improved at all.
After completing the formalities, Kerser's ship finally entered the walls of Sainz. Because the dwarf country is sheltered by the mountains, the north wind is difficult to enter, so it is extremely warm, Jacqueline's body that has been trembling violently has gradually regained its calm, even the most cold Colleen no longer calls cold, but the pure fire attribute on her body is no longer there, and some impurity attributes have returned to her body.
Jacqueline and her sisters were amazed by the majesty and beauty of the dwarven architecture, and they were drawn out of the deck to take a closer look. Sadly, the girl's enthusiasm was initially ignited by the dwarves' delicate craft, but was soon defeated by a severe haze. Under the attack of the polluted air, the girls not only could not see far, but even quickly became unwell, coughing, their eyes were red and swollen, and tears were pouring out, and they had to hide back in the cabin again.
The two dwarves, Xiao Ming in Pegasus and Ichiki in Phoenix, have lived in this land since childhood, and their bodies have become accustomed to the air here, so there is nothing abnormal.
But the two dwarves, who had been in the outside world, returned to their homeland and found that the air was so bad, they shrugged their noses and followed everyone back to the cabin - they had wanted to show off their homeland and their dwarven craftsmanship to their idols, but now it seemed that these things were not worthy of pride in the face of the haze.
The dwarves have all but given up magic and entered the age of Sainz, who needed not magic but the heat released by burning coal.
The use of steam engines in the land of the dwarves is very common, and the use of coal throughout Sainz has reached a crazy level, so the air pollution caused is extremely serious.
The dwarves often laughed at themselves and said, "If we don't clean up for three days, the entire kingdom of Sainz will be drowned in soot." ”
That's right, because of the burning of a large amount of coal, the soot that falls from the sky every day in the kingdom of Sainz covers the entire kingdom with a thick layer of black, so the dwarves have to sweep it twice a day, otherwise Sainz will really be completely submerged in black ashes as said.
This kind of air quality has become accustomed to the dwarves in the country, but when they return to China from abroad, Xiao Ming and Yihui miss the days of blue skies and green waters, birds and flowers in the Principality of Cubit - they finally understand the reason why some dwarves do not want to come back once they go out to the outside world.
Fortunately, the Arctic is rich in minerals beyond anyone could have imagined, and to the extent that the dwarves use coal in this way, this area is still constantly mined with coal, and I don't know if this is a blessing or a misfortune for the dwarves.
There was silence in the spaceship, only the sound of coughing, and there was nothing to say about Sainz's poor air quality.
After entering the huge walls of Sainz, Jacqueline and the others arrived at the capital of the dwarven kingdom, Fuyuhabara.
The air quality in the capital is still just as bad, and Jacqueline and the others have to thank the tenacity of the human merchants, who bought masks with air magic from the human merchants here, although the price is ridiculously high, but this kind of mask that purifies the air they breathe finally allows Jacqueline and them to get rid of the effects of the smog and feel much more comfortable.
Poor Chu Shou, because he didn't have a mask to adapt to, he had to hide in Jacqueline's summoning space to escape the terrible air pollution - thankfully, it had reached the end of the journey, and it finally didn't have to spy on that damn drunk driver anymore.
Jacqueline and his gang repeatedly expressed their gratitude to the ship's owner, Kerser, which made him feel a little embarrassed, after all, the reward of one hundred gold coins belonged to blackmail, and Kercer was reluctant to return it. His face was red at this time, and he didn't know if it was shame or alcohol.
"Haha, I don't need to thank you too much, after this business, I plan to go back to my hometown to get married, and I will open my business after a period of recuperation. "But don't worry too much about going back, the Kingdom of Endeavor has signed an agreement with the dwarves to conditionally open official flights between Nayas City and Fuyuhabara. Some time ago, you asked me about the route. With King Smith's character, he will definitely do a good job in these few days, maybe tomorrow the official flight will begin. ”
With that, Cuther went back into the wheelhouse of the ship as usual and started the return flight—this return ship was empty, and Kerser deserved to return empty.
That's why Kerthor doesn't like to go to the dwarven frozen lands, because it's too risky and there are very few passengers. In the past, he used to slaughter guests to make money, but now that he has earned so many gold coins at once, he has decided to wash his hands of gold. Go back to your hometown and marry your beloved fiancée, make a decent living, take on some safe tasks, and raise a chubby son.
Kerthor felt that the future was bright.
Chu Shou was in the summoning space, feeling that he seemed to be a little nervous during the journey, but in fact, he didn't have to work so hard to monitor the driver's work. It seems that the driver named Keser is still very reliable, and his driving skills should be very good, otherwise he would not have created "miracles" again and again.
However, Kerser finally encountered a plane crash on the way back, and according to the analysis of the ship's wreckage, he may have a zero chance of surviving because he drove the spaceship into an iceberg while drunk, and his body is missing, possibly being treated as a meal by the Arctic wolf or something.
Also, it is worth mentioning that after learning of the death of her fiancé, Kerser's fiancée in his hometown took a hundred gold coins left by Kerser, married a rich handsome local man the next day, and gave birth to the rich man's son five months later.
According to insiders, this child is definitely not Keser's, because Keser and his fiancée are separated from each other and have not had the opportunity to have sex with each other once...... (To be continued.) )
