After half a month of travel, Charles finally arrived at his destination, Tracy Village, and Charles was already amazed by the beautiful scenery along the way. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As a village that grows in the west, although the weather is cold and snow falls from the sky, it is also the case that a white carpet is laid on the ground, and there are no houses or floors covered with a thick layer of snow, as if the whole world is made of snow.

Came to Tracy Village, as the closest village to the snow field, it often snows, and this time, it is more than ten days. The carriage could no longer move, and Charles ordered to stay in a village outside and wait for him to come out, and walked into the village of Tracy on foot.

As soon as he stepped down, the snow covered half of Charles's calves, and the slightest coolness penetrated into Charles's body through the thin clothes. But in the midst of the internal energy, that trace of coolness disappeared in the blink of an eye.

As far as the eye could see, the entire village was covered in snow, and a few scattered adults came out, wearing heavy clothes and carrying wide brooms, sweeping a path in front of the door, forming a wall of snow of nearly two meters on both sides.

The architecture of Tracy Village is also different from the outside world, although the houses are also made of wood, but the roofs are covered with thick animal skins, layer after layer, just like the clothes on the villagers' bodies.

Charles's arrival surprised the villagers, as a semi-isolated village, the number of times outsiders could come, and they could really count it on their fingers for decades. And Charles's thin clothes also made the villagers stop their movements, and whispered in surprise.

"Wow, another person, and he only wears so little, isn't it human?"

"What nonsense, isn't the last person who was so beautiful a human being? There is a kind of person called a warrior in this outside world, just like the son of the village chief, they are not afraid of the cold. ”

"So powerful?!"

"Of course, I heard that there is another kind of person who can send out a fireball bigger than a table with a gesture and instantly grow a big tree on the ground!"

"Hehe, you're bragging again. ”

“・・・・・・”

Charles walked through the snow-covered village, admiring the rare scenery, and was satisfied with a man who came up to him and asked, "Do you know the village chief's house?"

A trace of panic flashed in the man's eyes, but when he saw Charles's kind smile, he felt a lot less timid in his heart, and asked vigilantly, "What are you looking for the village chief?"

Although Charles didn't seem to have malicious intent, the man was still not worried about Charles's character, so he asked.

Charles smiled and said, "I'm going to the snow field, and I have some things to do about the snow field and need a place to live, so I want to meet the village chief." ”

"You're going to the snow field too, are you called Charles?!" The man was stunned when he heard Charles's purpose, and then he was pleasantly surprised, and all the vigilance on his body disappeared.

Charles was slightly stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart, Could it be that An Shounong had already arranged the matter here, and before he could ask, the man dragged Charles and ran to the village chief's house.

The man who came to the village chief's house introduced Charles's to the village chief: "Village chief, this is Charles." ”

The facilities in the house are simple, a few animal skins are hung on the walls to attract attention, and the floor is also covered with thick animal skins. The white-haired old man sitting next to the stove was already wrinkled with wrinkles, but his spirit seemed to be very strong. Looking at Charles, he bowed deeply respectfully, and said to the man, "You go down first." The man answered.

"Lord Charles, my name is Reif, and I've been waiting for you for a long time, so please rest for a while, the house is ready. The village chief reluctantly propped himself up, poured a cup of hot brown liquid, and brought it to Charles.

Charles took it with both hands, thanked him and asked, "How did you know that I was coming, village chief?" ”

"Your friend has already arrived before the adults arrived, and he has already taken my commission to go to the snowfield, so he should be back soon. Leif explained.

Charles frowned, and said in his heart: "Go to the snowfield, my friend?" It can't be, there are only a handful of people who know that I am coming to the snowfield, and there is no one else who can enter the snowfield except Pulit, could it be that Pulitt is here?

Charles silently tasted the brown liquid in the cup, this slightly astringent sweetness and smooth taste, it was really good, so he asked with a smile: "Village Chief, what is this, it is very comfortable to drink." ”

Leif said: "This is a unique kind of milk in our village, called fasting milk, drinking it has a good cold effect in the body, and it can also provide a certain degree of satiety and is not easy to be hungry, and it is very happy to receive the love of adults." ”

Charles nodded, picked it up and took another sip.

Suddenly, the heavy curtain was lifted, and a voice as crisp as a lark came in: "Grandpa Lef, I'm back!"

"Poof!"

Charles suddenly squirted the milk out of his mouth into the stove, and a puff of smoke rose from it.

Charles stared at a young girl who walked in, wearing a warrior costume that was easy to move, with a slight cunning in her eyes, and a lively and cute smile on the corner of her mouth, and said in shock: "Yukina!Why are you here!?"

Yukina looked at Charles, who had already come, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why did you come, I've been waiting for you for a day." ”

"Yukina, you didn't answer my question!" Charles had already seen through Yukina's desire to change the topic, and ignored Yukina's displeasure at all, but continued to question, "Did Valen tell you that?"

Charles thought about it and knew who told Yukina that it was impossible for An Shounon, and even more so for Prit, and Clive said it before leaving, only Valen knew that he was coming to the snow field a long time ago.

"I said that the groom looked at me a little erratically along the way, and I thought he was trying to ask me for more rent, but now I think you should have given him money so that he could tell you where I was going. Charles looked at Yukina in front of him and was angry, or even more angry at his carelessness, only thinking that Valen would not come with him, and he dared not think that Valen and Yukina would come into contact.

Yukina looked at Charles and was angry, and her heart was also on fire, and she looked at Charles with beautiful eyes and shouted: "What's the matter, why didn't you come to the snow field and didn't tell me, don't you know that I'm a martial artist, or do you want to play alone?"

"Nonsense!Am I playing?!Don't you know that the snow field is dangerous?I don't want you to be in danger!" Charles was really angry, he didn't expect how he could prevent Yukina from coming over, couldn't Yukina understand the other people's hearts for her sake?

"Why don't you want to put me in danger?" asked Yukina.

"Because I like-" Charles stopped talking, looking at Yukina's puzzled eyes, he couldn't say the next words, because Charles knew that Yukina's feelings for him were different, and Charles couldn't let this relationship break because of his words.

"We're partners! How many times have you lived and died together, you can't even want your life for me, how can this little danger stop me?Charles, are you underestimating me too much?" Yukina looked at Charles dissatisfied.

Charles looked at Yukina's expression, couldn't help but sit on the ground and smiled bitterly, and said to himself: Do I underestimate you? I value you too much to let you take risks with me.

Charles looked at Yukina, for some reason, he was always helpless against her, no matter what she did, he couldn't stop it.

Charles held his forehead and felt that he was inexplicably a little tired, and asked weakly, "Then what are you doing in the snow field today?"

"I'm going to ask Grandpa Leif, the three locations of the three materials you asked for, Grandpa Leiv does know, but he can't say. Yukina sat down next to Charles and looked at Reif.

Charles tensed, then calmed his heart and looked at Leif and asked, "Village Chief, may I ask why?"

Leif bowed his head deeply in the face of Charles's inquiry, and said apologetically: "My lord, please save my grandson." ”

Charles was stunned for a moment, then calmly looked at Leif and asked, "What do you mean?"

Leif then told Charles the whole story.

It turned out that four days ago, Lef's grandson Jesta came back from studying art outside, wearing thin clothes and saying that he was now a warrior and was not afraid of this vast snowfield and wanted to break in, Leif of course disagreed, and scolded him directly, but Jesta left a note and never came back.

"My lord, Leif knows that what he did should be punished, and he knows the location but doesn't explain it to the adults, but it doesn't matter if Leif dies, I only hope that the adults can save my child, and Leif will give the three locations and the plate. Leif knelt down in front of Charles and pleaded, his voice trembling slightly.

Although Charles felt helpless when he heard this, after all, he was eager to save Sun, and he couldn't blame him, so he asked: "In this boundless snowfield, even if you look for it, you have to have a purpose, where to find it?"

Leif said angrily: "The note left by Jesta before leaving said that he was going to the Ice Forest, but he didn't even take the map, isn't this nonsense!"

Yukina took over and said, "I just observed this ice forest outside, if there is no map, there are no markers at all, and it is really easy for people to get lost when they walk in." ”

Leif stood up and took out a map from the room: "This is the map of the Ice Forest. ”

Charles took it and Leif instructed again: "Although this ice forest has a map, it is still very dangerous, and you will also get lost, please be careful." ”

Charles looked at Leif kneeling on the ground, and if he didn't agree, he might not be able to kneel for a long time. looked at Yukina, who was already eager to try it next to her, and showed a smile: "Okay, let's go." (To be continued.) )
