The wind and snow howled.
Ye Qing stood in the biting wind and snow, the green lotus petals beside him swaying quietly.
The cold wind was mixed with broken snow, and it seemed to wrap up the countless daggers that shimmered with cold light. However, in front of the delicate and thin Qinglian, they broke into pieces before they came into contact and scattered with the wind.
Ye Qing raised his eyes and looked up. Everything he could see was covered with white snow. Looking back, Tianlan City, standing on the mountainside, was still majestic and majestic.
This is Icewind Dale.
Icewind Valley is the largest valley in the Holy Snow Mountains. Although the climate is still harsh, it depends on the fact that there are two icy underground rivers and several geothermal hot springs in the valley. Along the underground rivers and hot springs, several villages are scattered here and there. .
Just like people living in the desert chasing water, warmth is a more important resource here.
And just as Wangyue Villa is the ancestral home of the Tianlan Ren family, this Icewind Valley is the ancestral home of the Tianlan Shi family and is its main industry.
This is not a joke, but rather that Icewind Valley and Wangyue Villa are the two most important foundations near Tianlan City. They support the two major families in Tianlan City to thrive.
And Shi Feng is the master of Icewind Valley.
The source of the underground river in Icewind Valley comes from the Liuguang River, so it is also an extremely good source of jade. Along the ice current underground river, there is a precious spar vein in the northernmost village.
The jade resource has brought a large amount of worldly wealth to the Shi family, and the crystal stones, which contain spiritual power and can be used for magic tools, have cultivated a large number of strong men for the Shi family.
And this is the foundation and heritage of the Shi family's long-term position as the second largest family in Tianlan City.
That’s why—the Shi family is called the Shi family.
In addition to stones, Icewind Valley is also rich in extremely precious snow medicinal materials. Once taken to the warm south, they are often worth tens of thousands of gold. And the monsters active in Icewind Valley, although they are dangerous existences, are also moving one by one. treasury.
Now that the entire Shi family has been destroyed, this Icewind Valley will surely arouse competition and covetousness from countless greedy people.
But these have nothing to do with Ye Qing.
She's just here to find someone, and - to get answers.
She also wanted to know what the relationship was between the sassy girl who brought the snowdrop into her igloo and the demon who created killings and nightmares.
However, what she wanted to do most was to find Shi Feng.
The blood feud of genocide is an irreconcilable hatred for anyone.
He met the girl, and after eating bread and salt together, he took her to his hometown.
And when he slowly started to trust her from distrusting.
She chose to kill his entire clan with her own hands.
This feeling was as shocking and crazy as Ye Qing saw Ge Sheng massacre all his relatives one day.
So much so that such an indifferent and calm boy would lose all reason, but he came here alone and wanted to find the answer behind it.
Even though Haoyue assured her that Shi Feng was the safest person in Icewind Valley, she didn't believe it.
He is bigger than himself.
It is stronger than myself.
But you don’t need many reasons to worry about someone.
Ye Qing spread out the map.
For some reason, Haoyue, who had originally strongly prevented her from coming, finally gave up incredibly and prepared dry food and clothing for her. Attached was a map of Icewind Valley. In the map, Haoyue marked the locations of each village in detail for her, as well as Where Shi Feng might be.
The topography of Icewind Valley is gourd-shaped, with vast oval basins at both ends. However, between the basins, there is an extremely narrow and steep steep valley. An underground river flows through this steep valley, and Icewind Valley's Surrounded by steep mountains, shrouded in thick snow.
Therefore, Icewind Valley is divided into the inner valley and the outer valley.
The outer valley is the valley south of the steep valley called Ice Gorge. It is closer to Tianlan City and has a relatively better climate. Six of the eight villages in Icewind Valley are located in the outer valley. Here are The glass garden, with the help of the heat of the hot springs, can even grow some fresh vegetables to complement the monotonous carnivorous grains.
However, the most important thing is the inner valley, because three-quarters of the jade and all the crystals are produced in the inner valley where the climate is harsher and the environment is more dangerous.
But when Ye Qing came to the outer valley, she felt that the valley was not welcoming to her.
Otherwise, how could such a severe snowstorm suddenly blow in such a deep basin?
With such emotions, she arrived at the first village.
This is more like a town than a village.
Or rather a fortress.
Ye Qing saw the high white stone city wall, the towering arrow tower, the crossbows mounted on the city wall, and the villagers standing on the city wall wrapped in thick furs and questioning her loudly.
Everything looks like a fortress, but the fortress is too small.
His city wall is ten feet high and ten feet thick, but the land protected within the wall is only a few hundred feet wide.
Even though there are blacksmith shops, grocery stores, butcher shops, fur shops, and even a small brothel within a few hundred feet, this village is still too small.
Even though this village is extremely wealthy, the heat provided by the hot springs cannot support too many people, and not everyone is willing to spend their lives in this dead snow valley, so even if everyone here is a member of the Shi family , but the greatest hope of all of them is that one day they can live in the Shi family's ancestral home in Tianlan City.
Of course, this was before they knew what happened to the Shi family's ancestral home.
Ye Qing stood in front of the city tower and calmly showed the token given to her by Haoyue. Here, the identity of the Ninth Princess did not bring much convenience, but using the token given to her by Tianlan City had a more substantial deterrent effect.
It was a jade token hanging half a month high, a token of the Tianlan Ren family. At this moment, she represented the Tianlan Ren family and was equivalent to the city lord's spokesperson coming to this land.
So it was allowed without question.
She did not stay in the first village, and even refused the villagers who asked her to stay for a simple meal.
But she got what she wanted.
intelligence.
Shi Feng had indeed been here before and left half a day ago.
She asked about the direction Shi Feng left and asked the questions Shi Feng had asked here. Due to her identity, the village chief here did not dare to hide anything.
Shi Feng only asked three questions.
Is there anything strange about Warcraft?
The answer is no.
Anything unusual lately?
The answer is no.
Have you ever seen people coming from other villages?
The answer is no.
From these three questions, Ye Qing felt a chill to his bones.
Ye Qing quickly left in the direction of Shi Feng and left the same warning as Shi Feng.
"Close the door tightly, maintain the highest level of security, and do not let any suspicious persons in."
"And, prepare to evacuate."
However, it seemed that out of the same tacit understanding, she and Shi Feng did not inform the villagers here about what happened in Tianlan City.
