Chapter 339: Lyme Academy
The small town of Delyi, at the foot of the Great Snow Mountain of the Northern Empire, has recently welcomed a large number of mercenary groups, making this small town, which was not very lively, extremely prosperous all of a sudden.
The townspeople, who were still a little puzzled, understood after a little inquiry, it turned out that these mercenary groups had come to look for Ice Whisker Grass, which was extremely rare and precious, even in their Northern Empire.
Legend has it that the upper echelons of the empire were so furious that they had sent troops to guard the Great Snow Mountain, forbidding anyone to enter.
But the problem is that there are policies and countermeasures, and it is really not difficult for these mercenary groups.
However, the Northern Empire did not dare to wipe out all the mercenary groups living in Delyi Town, not to mention whether they had the ability to fight it, even if they did, they would definitely offend all the mercenary groups on the mainland, and then they would be in big trouble.
As long as the mercenaries do not enter the Great Snow Mountain, the army of the Northern Empire will turn a blind eye to them. But if we do, then I'm sorry, we're the enemy.
On this day, a carriage drove over, and the two people driving the carriage were shivering with cold.
"Good...... It's cold...... Why is it so cold here?" complained to Eribe, very annoyed.
Hao Meng smiled bitterly: "This ...... The problem is, we spent all the gold for this carriage, and we didn't even have the money to buy a coat. ”
Yes, after Hao Meng went north from Linluo City, he also passed through two cities along the way, but the situation in these two cities was similar, and the carriages were all rented.
By the time they get to the third city. The carriage dealer finally still has a carriage, but the problem is that the price has been increased by three times.
This made many mercenaries who wanted to come here scold, but after scolding, many people still felt distressed and paid a much higher price than before.
Seeing that all the carriages were about to be picked up, Hao Meng and the others couldn't care about the high price, so they responded directly.
The immediate benefit of this is that they can finally ride in a carriage instead of walking. But the disadvantage is also extremely obvious, that is, the last gold coin on their bodies is also spent!
They didn't realize what was wrong with it. When you're hungry, go straight to the wild and find some food. If you are sleepy, sleep in a tent in your backpack. But when they entered the Northern Empire, they sensed the pain of not having gold.
The bitter cold of the Northern Empire was far beyond their imagination, especially the further north they went, the more unbearable it became.
Even a fire-type warlock like Eribe. I can't bear it.
Eribe couldn't help but complain, "Damn it. Why can't you think of it in advance?"
"Can you blame us? Why don't you think about it?" Rudy grumbled angrily in the carriage. "Even if we thought about it, what could we do? I can't afford to buy a coat, you don't see. How expensive this coat is. ”
The further north you go, the colder it gets, and the more expensive the coat becomes.
Ellie ignored the arguing Eribe and Rudy, opened the curtain and said to Hao Meng: "Hao Xiaomeng, you are also frozen, hurry up and come in to warm up, I will drive for you for a while." ”
"Okay. "Although Hao Meng also knows a little fire spell, his level is far worse than that of Elibe, and he is already so cold that he is almost speechless. Ellie's mention was just right for him to get a moment of respite.
After changing positions, Hao Meng entered the carriage. Although the carriage is also unable to withstand the cold, it is better than being blown by the cold wind outside, right?
"How long will it take to get to Del Yi Town?" Rudy couldn't help but ask, their only hope now was to hurry to Del Yi Town to meet Liao Ning and the others, and ask them to ask for gold coins to buy a few coats, otherwise they would really freeze to death.
Ellie replied, "It's coming, it only takes half a day to arrive." ”
"Half a day?" Hao Meng, they were all shivering from the cold.
Hao Meng also looked at the little bird that was attached to his arms, and asked with concern: "Little pity, are you cold?"
"It's not cold, Dad's chest is so warm. "The birds nest happily in it.
Seeing this, Hao Meng also grinned.
It took them another half a day, and they finally reached the outskirts of the town of Delyi, where they could already see countless mercenaries heading here, all of them wearing thick coats, and they all showed surprise when they saw that Eribe and Ellie were wearing only one single coat.
Many people pointed along the way, even Hao Meng in the carriage vaguely heard some words such as "poor ghost" and "stingy".
"Beautiful young lady, seeing that you are dressed so thinly, do you need me to help you?" At this moment, a slightly flirtatious voice came.
Ellie stopped the carriage abruptly, and Holmon and Rudy poked their heads out of the windows on either side, and were shocked to find a young man in an overcoat standing in front of them, and there seemed to be some people behind them, whistling from time to time.
"Get out!" Ellie snorted coldly, how could she be in a good mood at this time? she just wanted to rush to Liao Ning's location as much as possible, and then take a good fire to get some warmth.
Who would have thought that the young man opposite smiled proudly: "Beautiful young lady, such a cold weather seems to make you feel very unhappy, why don't you come and talk to us?" I promise you will feel our warmth." ”
"Get out of here!" Ellie said again.
"Miss, don't be so faceless. The young man laughed again.
"Elibe, let's get around!" Ellie didn't want to get into a conflict with someone else when she first came here. The people who came here now were basically here for that S-class mission, and it was unwise to rush into a conflict.
Of course, if the other party has to provoke them, then you don't have to be polite!
With that, Ellie and Eribe prepared to bypass the young man.
Behind the young man, a group of young people kept whistling and shouting, "You can't do it, why don't you replace me!"
Stimulated by this, the young man in front of him turned his face stiff, turned his head and shouted to the people behind: "What are you afraid of?
After speaking, he directly grabbed the carriage that was passing by, and laughed again: "Miss, don't be so faceless, right? We are from the most pure and righteous academy in history, and we have always liked to fight grievances and help beautiful young ladies!"
"What?Lyme Academy?" Ellie's face changed suddenly, and Rudy's face in the carriage became quite ugly.
But Hao Meng and Eribe are at a loss, is this Lyme Academy famous?
"Get out of the car!" Ellie suddenly yelled at Hao Meng, who was a little flustered.
Hao Meng, they are all a little confused, I don't understand what kind of madness Ellie is going on?
Rudy quietly explained to Hao Meng and Eribei, who were a little dazed: "This Lyme Academy is one of the four super colleges, that is, the willow academy we encountered before. ”
"What?The Four Super Academies?" Hao Meng and Eribe were suddenly extremely shocked when they heard this, no wonder they always felt that the style of these young people was very familiar before, and they always felt that they had seen it somewhere, wasn't it the same as Liu Rushui before?
I just don't know what kind of madness Ellie is going to at this time?
Although he didn't understand why Ellie was so angry, the young man next to him was overjoyed and said directly, "Beautiful young lady, are you accepting our kindness?"
Who knew that Ellie didn't talk nonsense with the other party at all, and suddenly smashed a fist on the young man's lower abdomen, and he bent down directly in pain. When the second punch was struck, the opponent had already reacted and hurriedly tried to resist.
But as the saying goes, one step later is always one step later.
Before he could resist, Ellie's second punch had already hit him.
Hao Meng and the others were all shocked, Ellie, what is this for? Why did she just come and have a conflict with the people of the four super colleges?
Naturally, there were a lot of pedestrians on the street, and after hearing that these young men were from Lyme Academy, they gasped fiercely and looked at them with adoring eyes.
The four super academies are the most powerful academies on the Soul Sword Continent, and it is said that every one of them is a genius.
But Ellie's sudden move also scared them all stupid.
After a while, Ellie knocked the young man down, and took off his coat directly, put it on herself, and then said condescendingly, "Aren't you going to keep me warm? ”
Everyone was stupid, and no one thought that Ellie would beat up the people from Lime House for the coat.
Hao Meng and the others are also stunned, just do it for this person from Lyme Academy, it's not worth it, right?
At this time, Ellie turned her head to look at the three Hao Meng behind her: "There are still a few over there, you can go and get them too." ”
Is this called taking? Obviously, it's just a good robbery! Hao Meng and the three couldn't help but shout in their hearts.
The people from the Lime Academy finally came back to their senses at this time, completely ignoring the fall of their companions, and ran over menacingly: "Beautiful young lady, if you want a coat, I will definitely give you mine, but I don't want to give my coat to three stinky men!"
The onlookers, who originally thought they were going to fight, couldn't help but fall down when they heard this.
Their own companions were beaten, and these people not only did not care about their companions, but they cared about the belonging of the coat.
"Miss, put on my coat, mine is definitely much warmer than that one!" said a young man who immediately took off his coat and draped it over Ellie.
Another person immediately jumped out: "Fart, it's obviously my coat that is warmer." ”
"How is that possible? You are too short, this beautiful young lady is so tall and tall, and it is obviously not enough to wear your coat. ”
As he spoke, several people from Lyme Academy quarreled with themselves, and Hao Meng and several of them were a little dumbfounded.
This...... What's going on?(To be continued......
