The snow in winter comes much earlier in this territory, which is even further north than the Northland, than in other places.
The crops have been harvested early. They benefit from the fertile land here, which ensures that they grow to maturity and bring people a good harvest.
This territory is considered very rich, and the people's harvest is enough for them to live comfortably for a year. The snowflakes in the sky have become like goose feathers, dense but like heavy rain, plus whether the wind is blowing , making Xue’s power even greater.
Just the first snowfall has already turned the whole world into a blanket of snow. No one wanted to stay outside during the whole time. Most of the time, they were warming themselves by the fire in their huts, enjoying their rare leisure time. , and then prepare for successive years.
However, such heavy snow cannot stop certain steps. A tall war horse like a giant bear, carrying an armored knight, is not afraid of the wind and snow, and its huge hooves are on the way. It can still walk smoothly in the snow.
This is a road. Although it is covered with snow, thanks to some small magic circles, it can still be safely used by people when necessary. There are also some inns along the way, large and small, and the intervals are the same. There are pros and cons, but overall, it is very helpful for people on the road, especially in weather like this.
This knight is covered in armor, and he doesn’t know how long he has been running on the road. He and his horse are already covered with icicles. Even if many of them fall down due to constant running, there will always be new ones. Hang it up.
Perhaps it was the too cold weather that finally made him tired. He stopped at a roadside inn with only a dozen houses.
What made him a little strange was that the inn here seemed a little short, but he couldn't care less. It was too cold. If he didn't go in to warm up, he might not be able to move.
However, just when he was about to knock on the door, in the central round house that was less than two meters high, a round door more than one meter high had already opened. Because it was so close, a stream of hot air came out, making He felt very comfortable.
"Welcome, guest on the journey!" A somewhat rich and somewhat short voice appeared. The reason why it was said to be short was because the knight heard the voice and lowered his head to see the speaker. He turned out to be a dwarf, wearing a The heavy clothes and the beard can almost be used as another piece of clothing.
"Old... sir, can you let me go in to warm up by the fire and drink a glass of hot water!?" the knight asked. He did not intend to say such things as the old man. After all, as long as the dwarf reaches adulthood, his beard will be scary. It is impossible to Judging from the beard, maybe she is still a baby!
"Of course, traveler, but there is no point in drinking water after entering a dwarf's inn..." the dwarf said in a loud voice.
…
"Hiccup -" The knight set out again, but although he was very warm, he was still drunk, but he couldn't stay any longer, otherwise the dwarf would definitely let himself know what it meant to be drunk. He really couldn't handle it. The lord who understands here, why on earth did he bring all these dwarves to the inn? Is it just to get everyone on the road drunk? ?
The war horse under him was also snorting and smelling of alcohol. It was obvious that it had drank too much, but it was still very energetic and not drunk. The horse's hooves were still as powerful.
When the snowflakes stopped falling in the sky, night had fallen. On the road, except for the sound of horse hooves, there was nothing else.
However, from time to time, it seems that you can always see many white figures wandering on the roads on both sides. As a soldier, it means that something is following you, but looking at the town ahead, it is getting closer and closer. Due to the lights, he really couldn't be sure whether these were Warcraft. After all, even Warcraft, few were willing to hunt in such weather. Most of them also needed to hibernate or avoid this terrible weather.
Could it be human beings, but in a place like this, the only soldiers seen are the lords of this town, but how did they do it, not afraid of such weather, and appear so calm? There is no point in thinking about it anymore, because The town will be here soon, just don't cause any trouble.
Two watchtowers with swaying lights like lighthouses soon appeared. Behind them was a very tall city gate. Hundreds of tall warriors wrapped in not very thick clothes lined up on both sides to stop him. When he explained his purpose, they let him in.
Just when he came to the world behind the city gate, he felt a stream of warmth that made him sweat. It was not very hot here, but there was no wind or snow, and the plants were still growing tall and green, which made him feel a little uncomfortable. I can believe that there are still many people here, and there are many races, including dwarves, barbarians, orcs, and even elves.
He had long heard that the lord here seemed to have a hobby of collecting different races. He didn't really believe it at first, but he didn't really believe it until now.
As soon as I was led by someone, I quickly came to a huge lord's hall. After passing through the heavily guarded road, I quickly met the lord here.
"Mr. Margrave Andre Hades Phoenix, Knight Thordek greets you!" When the knight saw the lord, he immediately saluted. He did not look down upon the lord here because he was an adventurer, because although the lord here was He is an adventurer, but he has an experience that can be said to be legendary. It only took a few years to grow from a small unknown adventurer to a lord with a huge territory, and his strength , and it was best confirmed in the war with demons.
"Please get up, Knight Thordek, what are you doing here!?" Feng Zhan asked, looking at Thordek below.
"Sir, Your Highness Ivan, let me bring you a letter that you need to open in person!" Sodek said, having already taken out a metal box from the space ring. It was not very big, only about the size of a palm. But the moment it appeared, it floated automatically, and the magic pattern on it began to operate automatically, just like a detector. A piece of light shone on Feng Zhan. When it was confirmed that it was him, the box was opened. .
Feng Zhan was surprised when he was photographed by this box. He didn't expect that there would be such a thing in such a magical world. It was really interesting.
"Marquis Andre, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect that in just a few years, you would have become a marquis..."
A voice appeared, and this voice was none other than Ai Wen, whom he had not seen for many years. What followed was not just the voice. An image appeared directly in front of Feng Zhan the moment the box was opened, but when Feng Zhan When Zhan wanted to talk, the shadow stopped him as if it knew something!
"No need to say anything, Andre. This is just a memory image of mine. I can't talk to you freely. You just need to listen..."
The time was not very long, just half an hour. Alvin's memory image had been narrated, and then like a flame, it burned together with the box and turned into metal fragments on the ground.
After hearing Ai Wen's words, Feng Zhan's heart was greatly shocked, and for a while he was unable to digest such information.
"You go down first, Knight Thordek. You must be very tired along the way. I hope you can have a good rest here. Although it is more prosperous than the capital of God, it can also relieve you from the fatigue of the journey! Feng Zhan said seriously, "But you also need to understand that some things are not suitable to be talked about everywhere!"
Thordek lowered his head and responded seriously, "I understand, Lord Andre Hades Phoenix!" After that, he turned and left.
Feng Zhan looked at Thordek's leaving figure, thoughtfully, and then ordered, "Come, please invite Miss Lena, Miss Alice, Master Gandalf, Archbishop Reeves...", after a long Chuan'er's names were all the most important people in the territory. Although he got the news, he still needed to ask a few people.
A quarter of an hour later, Gandall, Reeves, cousin, female knight, Celia, Coelio, Sphinx, Poppy, Iron Tower, Dinas, Nonokat, they all arrived at Fengzhan Hall of Lords.
Looking at the confused people, Feng Zhan smiled and said, "Everyone, we have something to do. I'm afraid we won't be able to stay here for long. We are going to sea!"
Several people were shocked and did not react at all. They just instinctively said, "Go to sea!?"
"Yes, go to sea!" Feng Zhan said with a smile. Many of them may have never seen the sea in their lives. Even Feng Zhan himself, although he has seen the ocean in the real world, in the world of Esgaia He has also seen a little corner of the ocean, but really speaking, he has never experienced the beauty of the ocean, let alone other people.
Maybe Gandalf and Reeves have met, but there is no such possibility for others. After all, the Holy Empire of Lohia is not a country with a long coastline. Although its territory is vast, compared to the ocean, It seems a bit small.
Gandall looked at his apprentice, rolled his eyes, and said, "Andre, why do you want to go to sea suddenly? Did you get any news!?"
Feng Zhan admired in his heart. Sure enough, he was still the old Jianghu. He knew it at a glance, "Yes, Master, there was news from His Highness Ai Wen in the Imperial Capital that we need to go to sea. Some... well, interesting things were found there. It's just that It has been temporarily blocked by various empires, but it will definitely be released soon..."
Although there were still question marks on their foreheads, no matter how they asked, even if the two girls kicked and punched them, they still couldn't get any more information from Feng Zhan. This guy was going to go to sea if he didn't say anything until he bit him to death. When the time comes, tell everyone and make them itch with hatred.
Unfortunately, there was no other way. On this day, Feng Zhan's territory began large-scale operations even in winter, and the main person responsible for all this was Coelio. After all, this dwarf was a It is easy for a serious businessman to get some ships.
However, Feng Zhan's requirements are a bit big. It must be a large ship that can carry 5,000 people, and nothing else is required. This gives Coelio a bit of a headache. After all, such a ship is a controlled item. , even if he did it, it would be a lot of trouble, but who asked Feng Zhan to give the right price, so he naturally tried his best.
Time passed like this unknowingly. Winter is extremely long in Feng Zhan’s territory. It seems to take half a year to truly end. But one day, the wind warms up and the earth melts. time.
And it was in Feng Zhan's territory that countless people began to gather on a large scale on the still muddy roads!
