The snow was endless, and the passing merchants laboriously pulled their cattle and led the slaves forward in the wind and snow. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the heavy snow, a snow rabbit came out of the rabbit hole, blinked its red eyes, and then quickly disappeared into the snow.

A snow fox that has been in ambush for a long time screams when he sees the snow rabbit fleeing, thinking about how to feed the children tonight.

An orc hunter of the bear clan had been in ambush for a long time, and when he heard the wail, he immediately stood up and shot an arrow, and the snow fox fell in response, and the arrow shot through the eye and also out of the eye, ensuring the integrity of the fur.

The hunter breathed a sigh of relief, with this white fox skin, this year's Snow Spirit Festival family can have a good life.

The hunter skillfully took out a skinning knife to skin the white fox, and then broke down all the skin, claws, and bones and put them into the leather pocket.

The hunter carried a leather bag, step by step, for several kilometers until he reached a town covered in silver.

There are a lot of people coming and going in this town, and there are all kinds of people from all walks of life. From time to time, the caravan lords looked out from time to time in the carriages, their guards and men pulling goods and animals, and shouting at the slaves. The lone adventurer wears a black trench coat, which is cool but should be cold. The noisy mercenaries, drinking fiery wine and singing vulgar songs. The thieves took care of the city gate guards and wantonly stole the rich and powerful. And those who have no money and no power are hunters, craftsmen, and vagrants.

Relying on his physical advantage as a bear orc, the hunter finally entered the city without being stolen, and he happily took his leather bag to a leather shop.

The hunter was an honest man, and stomped the snow off his feet outside the leather shop, then entered the store and found the front desk.

"There's a stupid bear. "The front desk is a wolf half-orc, with a lewd face, although he is only a receptionist, he is also richly dressed, and he looks at the hunter's honest appearance and disdainful.

"Snow fox skin, I want to buy snow fox skin, as well as snow fox meat, claws, and teeth. "The hunter poured out all this mess and soiled the floor.

When the receptionist saw that the floor was soiled, he was furious and shouted, "Be careful, the floor is all soiled by you scumbag." ”

The hunter was startled, apologized, and then put them away again, and mopped the floor with his own clothes.

The receptionist snorted, thought about how to lower the price, and said: "Snow fox, this is a good thing, but how did you dismember it, hey, the current upper-class people are popular with a whole snow fox specimen." If you buy like this, you can't buy it at a good price, yo, this kind of thing, hey, you can keep it for yourself. ”

The hunter was shocked (though not visible on the bear's face), fell to his knees and began to cry, begging the receptionist to take his goods, and how bad his own house was.

The receptionist snickered to himself, and then quoted a very low price, and the hunter was startled and hesitated.

"This, this price is too low. The bear-man hunter remembered that he had been tracking in the wild for several days, and the pain he had suffered, and his eyes turned red again.

"Buy it, sell it, you sell it, why are you an orc hesitating. The receptionist said excitedly, and the hunter's body shook, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll buy, I'll buy." ”

The store has made another good deal, and the hosts are dreaming of promotions. Although the hunter suffered a big loss, the family at least survived on this money for the next few months.

On the way home, the hunter suddenly heard the sound of dodging away, and followed the crowd The hunter flashed to the side.

Two teams of knights and several priests surrounded a prisoner's cart, proudly moving forward among the crowds on both sides.

"It's the people of the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect, they, why did they come to the mainland, aren't they entrenched in the East China Sea. ”

"I heard that this time they caught a heinous person in Snowy Harbor and was going to be escorted to Apocalypse Island in the East China Sea for public execution. ”

"That beautiful girl is, I really can't see that such a young person can be so sinful to such an extent. ”

The hunter shook his head, he didn't know about these things, and he didn't want to get involved, in recent years, the belief in the Apocalypse Sect in the Snow Port has become stronger and stronger, maybe sooner or later, the Snow Port will make the Apocalypse Sect the only credible sect like the Ocean Alliance.

Snow Port is the most prosperous place in Northland, it is the only passage from Northland to the East China Sea, and it is the largest and only port in Northland.

If you don't want to go through the places ruled by the demons and go directly to the East China Sea or the south, then Snowport is your only option.

The snow port is jointly controlled by four families, and the four families not only have absolute control over the shipping industry here, but also do a lot of various white road ** and gray business.

Although the inhabitants of Snowland Harbor are mostly orcs and orcs, there is only one half-orc family among the four major families, two of the remaining three are human families, and the last one is an elven family.

The orc family has a monopoly on the local leather industry, and has a strong armed force and popularity.

Two human families monopolized the industry, and the clientele was mainly sailors and mercenaries, and the business became more and more prosperous.

The other took control of the local mercenary union, and all caravans that wanted to hire bodyguards had to bow to them, and they also forcibly took a large part of the casino business from the human family.

The last elven family is very interesting, they are not only known as the only elven family in the Northland, but also the worst elven family. They monopolized the slave trade, and quickly became bigger and stronger, they dared to buy and sell any race, even elves and demons.

The Apocalypse Cult is a branch of the Holy See, founded 500 years ago by one of the greatest cardinals of all time on the island of Apocalypse in the East China Sea.

Although this cardinal is not a pope, he is a generation older than the pope at that time, and his understanding of theology is recognized as the best in the world, and his strength has been praised by the old demon king.

The Apocalypse Cult emphasizes that God is in my heart, emphasizes the importance of worldly power, and allows priests to do business. In addition, there are various differences between the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect and the Holy See, so I will not describe them one by one.

The Holy See has debated the question of whether the Apocalypse Sect is heretical or not for 500 years, but so far the two religions have never been at war head-on, despite friction.

The snow is still falling, and the small family covered in silver, although it is not big, makes the hunters who are gradually approaching feel warm, and the wife and daughter are there, and the daughter will probably pounce on her.

When the hunter returns home, he sees his wife crying silently, but he does not find his daughter.

His daughter was not his own, but he had picked it up in the wild ten years earlier, when she was only five years old, and although she was not injured, she was covered in blood. At that time, she was completely stunned, looking like she was scared silly, and it was not until a few years later that she regained the liveliness of a child.

"Why, what's the matter, my daughter must have been abducted. The hunters were shocked, and in a place like Snow Harbour, where profit is paramount and law and order is chaotic, it is very likely that children will be abducted by human traffickers. Although he didn't have the money to dress up carefully, the hunter always thought that his daughter was a stunning beauty, and it was normal for her to be targeted by traffickers.

The words slave, prostitute, and humiliation flooded into the hunter's mind, and everything in his hand fell off and he almost fainted.

The wife shook her head and said, "No, it's not like this, it's the daughter of her, and she was found by her real parents." ”

"What, that, what kind of person is that. The hunter still remembers that she was wearing a lot of expensive clothes back then, and he thought she was a survivor of a wealthy family that had been exterminated, so he hid all those precious things in order to hide her identity.

"Actually, in fact, her daughter is a member of the Mengli family, and she is the first heir in line. The wife said silently, and the hunter was taken aback.

"No, no, my daughter's ears are pointy, but they don't look like elves. "The Monri family is the elven family that has a monopoly on the slave industry in Snowhaven.

"Because her daughter is an illegitimate daughter, a half-elf. "In the eyes of the two orcs, it is easy to distinguish between half-elves and elves, but it is difficult to distinguish them from humans, coupled with stunted growth, the two bear people are stupid and can't tell the difference, and they always think that their adopted daughter is a human.

"This, that's it, that's fine. The hunter sat down on the edge of the bed, somehow relieved.
