The southeast region is adjacent to the Xingyue Sea, and the constant sea breeze brings warm air from the south, making the climate in the coastal area very pleasant. However, once inland, the temperature begins to drop rapidly, and the collision of hot and cold air currents can bring quite bad weather.

Around noon, the weather was overcast, signaling a heavy snowfall to come.

On the wide road leading to the city of Lore, a very ordinary carriage galloped by. The coachman waved his whip vigorously, not at all caring for his horses as much as he used to. He had to do this, otherwise the rammed earth roads would become very muddy and the guide would not be able to enter the city before the sun went down.

No one wants to sleep in the wild in such cold weather, and even if there are no terrible evil races entrenched around this road, hungry beasts and occasional bandits are still quite troublesome.

As for the three teenagers in the carriage, it is estimated that they will not be able to help much.

"In the winter, the noble young masters didn't have a good rest at home, and they actually went to Dorne Point to play, which is really rich to burn. The coachman thought as he reached into his bosom and touched the hot gold coins.

Normally, the eighty-kilometre distance from Cape Dorne to the city of Lore can be reached in a day's time by hiring a horse-drawn carriage, and the cost is five silver coins, and after deducting the cost of the carriage dealership, lodging and other miscellaneous expenses, the coachman will only get one silver coin in the end. So when he first learned that he was going to take on the job, the coachman refused, and no one wanted to leave Cape Dorne for the cold interior of the season.

But the little fat man, who was so rich at first sight, was willing to pay ten times the fare and slapped five kind gold coins on the table, which made the ordinary coachman unable to refuse. After deducting the rest of the expenses, he was still able to get 4 gold coins and 6 silver coins in the end, which is almost half a year's income.

"Hmph, it's really a hairy child who hasn't grown all the hair, so rich. I'm not afraid of being robbed. The coachman thought ill-willedly, and suddenly reacted again, shaking his head, "No, he is going to be robbed, and I will be unlucky, so let's wait until we are separated and then robbed." I've heard that the kind of place in Lore City is very good, there are all races, and maybe there is a chance to find a half-elf to play with, hehehe. ”

At this time. A roaring sound sounded behind him, accompanied by a man's shout.

Without looking back, the coachman already knew what was happening, cursed in a low voice, slowed his horse, and led the carriage to the edge of the road.

Half a minute later, a troika sped by, bringing up puffs of smoke and dust.

I watched as the wide and luxurious carriage gradually pulled away and disappeared from sight. The coachman whispered to himself: "What's the matter today, it's winter, where are so many cars, and one is more popular than the other." ”

As soon as the words fell. The coachman suddenly felt a cold nose, and he touched it, and a little wetness came.

"Damn it, it's snowing!" the coachman looked up. Countless flakes of goose feathers were flying and falling, and a few of them landed in his eyes.

After a little thought, the coachman said in a loud voice: "Three young masters." It's snowing, the roads are going to be really bad, and we're not going to be able to get to Lore today. ”

"What then?" a nervous voice came.

The coachman could tell that it was the little fat man who was asking the question, and after a little disdain in his heart, he replied, "Let's find a sheltered place to make a fire for the night." ”

There was a small sound, and another voice came: "Then keep walking, at the current speed, there will be a hill in half an hour, which should be able to block the current northeast wind, let's go there for the night, and wait for the snow to stop before leaving." ”

Hearing such a reasonable arrangement, the coachman suddenly showed a surprised expression. He quickly remembered that the person who spoke should be the young man with brown hair and black eyes and silver eyes, who seemed to be named Leo.

"Heh, I didn't expect that these young masters are not all straw bales, but is it so easy to spend the night on a snowy day?" The coachman seemed to have seen the scene of three weaker young masters being frozen and crying wolves.

The carriage was on the road again, this time without any further twists and turns, but the snow showed no sign of stopping, and the road did get worse and worse, as the coachman had said.

As a small hill appeared on the left side of the road, a voice from the carriage rang out, "This is it, right?"

Hearing that it was the young master Leo again, the coachman was even more surprised.

Because he knew that the time had indeed passed exactly half an hour, and the windows had not been opened just now. That is to say, this young master gave an accurate judgment completely based on estimates.

"Yes, young master, there is Mushroom Ridge, five hundred meters ahead, there will be a place where you can ......"

As he spoke, the second half of the coachman's words were stuck back, because he clearly saw that dozens of meters ahead, a tall tree was lying in the middle of the road, blocking the way!

Without thinking, the coachman tightened his grip on the reins.

"Bang!" the two horses chirped at the same time, almost standing up, and the carriage slid forward for more than ten meters before finally stopping.

The carriage slowed down sharply, and Sanders, the weakest body in the carriage, immediately flew sideways, but fortunately, Ao Yan, who was reading a book, was quick to pull him and avoid close contact with the wall of the carriage.

Startled, Sanders sat down again, and immediately yelled with confidence: "What are you doing? Are you trying to murder me?

The coachman replied weakly, "Young master, there is a tree on the ground in front of you that has fallen, don't blame me." ”

Sanders poked his head out, and there was a large tree in front of him on the wide road, but it was evident that someone had just carried it, for he had heard a carriage passing by not long ago.

Sanders got out of the carriage in a daze, walked towards the tree, and said, "Which guy did a good thing, when I catch it, I have to ......"

As a result, before Leo could stop him, he disappeared from the ground with a thud.

The angry scolding of the little fat man kept coming from the deep pit exposed in front of the big tree, and it seemed that he didn't fall strictly.

Leo and John looked at each other, apparently guessing. And John pressed his hand directly on his long sword.

Jumping out of the car lightly, Leo first made a reassuring gesture to the panicked coachman, and then turned to the dead woods: "If there's something, come out and say." ”

The people in the woods found themselves exposed, but they were also bare-hearted, and they all jumped out.

What Leo didn't expect was that the leader turned out to be a woman, with short brown hair, but in her early twenties, she was very tall, even slightly taller than Leo.

She was wearing a shabby leather armor, her chest was swollen as if she was about to jump out at any moment, even in the cold winter, she still had two wheat-colored arms, and she had drawn a wolf's head on the leather armor with unknown paint, but from her slight trembling, it could be seen that she actually wished to wear a leather jacket.
