Chapter 30 The North Wind of the Fierce Sun
"Ah? Why is this the bet of the god?!"
When Lake heard this answer, his expression stagnated.
She could not have imagined why the extremely powerful god did such a thing!
"Can it be that wizard... lied to you?"
Poluo on the side showed even more shock. He finally couldn't help it and asked the old woman:
"But like this... Isn't it easy for Lieyang to win? Why..."
"Your dog... speak?"
The old woman was shocked, but there were wizards, magic, gods and other things in this world, which made her psychological endurance much stronger.
She sorted out her thoughts and continued:
"Yes, hotness is of course more likely to cause people to take off their clothes than cold. That wizard is indeed a capable person."
The old woman shook her head, "But as I said, God, I don't care what people think! We beg the wizard to persuade God, and he agreed, but - failed."
"Don't the god listen?"
"The wizard wanted to judge, just like you thought, he used various principles to persuade him, and wanted to judge the victory of Lieyang, so that their competition would stop there-
But in the end, he was killed by the furious North Wind! ”
"Is the wizard killed?"
Hearing this, Poluo and Lek couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
"Yes, that powerful wizard died, just like a man trampling an ant to death. The gods' bets are never something that ordinary people should step on!"
The old woman said her voice trembled, "Little girl, guess what's going on behind her?"
"I can't guess..."
Lake whispered, but she could guess that it was not a good thing when she looked at the current situation.
"Their bet has changed. Now, they have to compare - who can make more people take off their clothes!"
"Why? No matter how the north wind is, it will not be stronger than the scattered sun!"
Lake shouted in surprise, "People only wear more clothes when it's cold!"
"No, kid, you were wrong!"
But at this time, the old woman closed her smile and showed a terrible expression on her face, "North Wind is not stupid, He has not played a game that will definitely lose!
You may think that only when it’s hot can you take off your clothes, right?
I thought so before—
But... people, if they are extremely cold, they will take off their clothes! ”
"Ah? Why is that?"
Lake's blue pupils opened wide, and the old woman's words overturned a lot of her common sense, making her thinking a little confused.
"I didn't believe it at first until... I saw a person who was about to freeze to death. His dark face squeezed out a strange smile. He slowly took off all his clothes in the cold wind, and then fell down - never got up again!"
In the sky, the sun's light is still warm.
But Laike and Poluo both felt the desperate chill in the old woman's words.
The knife can be blocked with armor.
Arrows can be defended with shields.
But what if it is the extreme and ubiquitous cold? What if it is a terrifying and overwhelming burn?
"Puluo, maybe we... should change our direction?"
"Yes, I don't want to be roasted by the sun or suddenly frozen into ice."
Poluo shook his head and recalled the map in his mind.
Perhaps, this world is much more crazy than I imagined!
...
Not far from the road, it is a big village.
"Goodbye Auntie!"
Lake waved, and the old woman with a wound on her leg smiled reluctantly.
She took out a few copper plates from her arms and wanted to hand them to Lake, "Little girl, you saved my life, but I have all that..."
"No need, aunt, we have money."
Lake smiled and politely rejected the old woman. She understood that such a poor old man needed this few money more than herself.
Then, she looked at the direction and walked towards a relatively remote house with Poluo to the rear of the town.
"Poruo, the people from Sinuo Kingdom are in this direction, right?"
"It should be no problem. The villager at the entrance of the village said it was south, but the specific location... would you like to ask again?"
"Yeah." Lake nodded and walked towards a villager who was resting on the roadside.
"Uncle, you can ask... the uncle who has been to the Sinuo Kingdom in your village, where does he live?"
The villager was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, then slapped his thigh and said:
"Oh, you said Hans? Why are you looking for him? Little girl, you should be from outside, right? Tell you, that guy Hans is a little stupid...!"
"Uh, uncle, we just want to find a guide to the Sinno Kingdom."
"Oh, that's it, I'll say it earlier!"
The villagers waved their hands in vain and pointed to a dilapidated hut behind the village, "Then he is the most suitable one in the village, especially... now."
Laike and Poluo were both a little confused, but after thanking the villagers, he walked towards the dilapidated hut.
When I walked to the wooden house, Polo and Lek heard some regular sounds.
"Puluo, have you heard it?"
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
"Well, it's like the sound of digging the ground, behind the house."
Bypassing the wooden house, Poluo saw that under a tree, a haggard and thin man was waving his hoe in his hand and digging a pit on the ground.
Next to the soil pit, a thin wooden coffin is placed flat.
On the other side, opposite to the new pit, there is already a grave mound.
Poluo and Lek did not disturb the man, but stood aside and quietly watched the man push the coffin into the dug pit, and then buried the pit with soil.
Finally, the man sat cross-legged on the ground, staring at the two graves for a while.
It was not until the sun was about to set that he turned his head and looked at Lake and Polo who were rising in the fire at his doorstep.
"This...madam, are you here to find me?"
"Uh, I heard that there is a person in the village who has been to the Kingdom of Sino, named Hans..."
"Yes, that's me."
The man with two dark circles nodded and admitted his identity, "What's the matter with me?"
"Poro and I want to go to the Sinuo Kingdom, but the most common road was blocked by natural disasters. We need to find a guide who knows other paths."
Lake said seriously.
"Poro?" Hans was a little confused.
"Mr. Hans, my name is Poluo."
Poluo raised his wolf's claws and spoke.
If this man is really invited to be the guide, when he talks to Lake, he will inevitably be heard. You can't... you really remain a dog without saying a word, right?
"You can talk?!"
Hans widened his eyes, but was soon covered by the grief in his eyes. "Forget it, it doesn't matter. You should see that... I have nothing now."
"Sorry, uncle, I didn't know before I came..."
Lake lowered his head and looked at the two graves. She felt a little embarrassed, "If it's difficult, we'll look for someone else."
The thin man shook his head:
"How much do you pay?"
Then, Lake was stunned for a moment and took out a few gold coins from his bag.
These were all taken from the bishop's room before leaving. After all, in the wild, they rely on hunting skills, but in human society, they rely on money.
"Uncle, are these enough?"
Hans looked at the gold coins and looked stunned.
He reached out to take it, and opened his eyes in the dark circles, looking at the fire, carefully observing the patterns and colors on the gold coins.
Then, he fell into deep thought in a daze.
After a while, he sighed and returned all the gold coins to Lake.
"Isn't it enough? I can..."
"No, it's too much, the guide can't use so much money."
"How much does that cost?" Lake was a little puzzled.
"I don't have money anymore, so I'll leave tomorrow. Go to the Kingdom of Sinuo. I'll be your guide."
Hans stood up staggeringly, leaning on the shovel that dug the ground, and walked towards his room, "Let's make do with my room for one night today, after that... just don't let me starve to death halfway through."
