Chapter 731 The Land of Ice and Souvenirs

When you return from the Northern Kingdom, will you bring some souvenirs to Veronica?

Due to his own reasons, he had to interrupt the wedding midway. As a queen, Veronica rarely asked for something from her, so Leon naturally paid great attention to her small request.

From hurriedly leaving the banquet hall, to rushing to the boarding tower with the female cleaner, and finally getting on the airship heading to the North, Leon was still thinking about this issue.

As a human kingdom located on the northernmost side of the entire continent, and even a small part of it borders the polar regions, although the northern kingdom Aichto is extremely vast, at least 70% of it is covered with ice sheets, so it is also called The land of ice.

Or it can be said conversely, that the "Icefield Country Aichto", which is named because of the ice fields that are not suitable for human settlement, is the official name of the Northern Kingdom. The "Northern Kingdom" is only obtained because of its geographical location. Commonly known as.

As for this kingdom located at the northernmost tip of mankind, what are its iconic specialties... It seems that there are really no specialties.

After recalling some of the natural conditions of the Northern Kingdom that he had read in William's geography book, Leon couldn't help but scratch the back of his head worriedly.

According to the records in the book, the climate and environment of the Northern Kingdom are extremely harsh, and more than half of the country is covered with ice and snow almost all year round.

The winter there is cold and long, the summer is cold and short, and nearly 30% of the country is permanently frozen. Even in the hottest summer, the average temperature is basically below 0℃, and the rainfall is very scarce... …

Or to put it more bluntly, the word rainfall is redundant when it comes to the northern kingdom. It only falls occasionally during the hottest seven or eight days in summer. There is no scattered rainfall at all, like endless urine. Calculation is necessary.

In addition, in addition to low temperatures and snowfall, because large areas are covered with flat ice fields, the Northern Kingdom often has terrifying storms that blow from west to east and penetrate the entire country, at least fourteen times a year. More than five games.

The average wind speed of this kind of super-large storm is basically 20 to 30 meters per second. However, under very special circumstances, it can even roll out hundreds of meters in one second. If there happens to be another It snowed heavily, and the resulting snowstorm was truly devastating, destroying basically everything in sight.

Even the giant mammoths that are unique to the Northern Kingdom, with an average weight of nearly ten tons, have to be knocked over in the snow when encountering a snowstorm of this scale. , as for the ordinary people in the Northern Kingdom...

People from the Northern Kingdom are not Shabi, how can they live on such a deadly ice sheet?

Although the area there is extremely vast and has a lot of materials and minerals, the location suitable for human habitation is actually quite limited. Even if you go out and dig an ice cellar underground, it will be useless.

After all, with the extremely harsh climate in the Northern Kingdom, as long as there is a snowstorm at night, there may be a layer of snow three to five meters thick directly on the door of the ice cellar the next morning. I'm afraid it will be suffocated to death before it can be dug out.

The northern humans with brain problems like this were completely wiped out by snowstorms eight hundred years ago. As for the remaining northern humans with no brain problems, they are no match for the king of the Northern Kingdom. Like Jehol City, most people choose to live close to the mountains.

Even if the risk of living close to the mountains is not small, you will encounter some major and minor disasters every now and then, but it is better than waking up and the whole family ascends to heaven, whether it is people, horses, cattle, sheep or tents, all the property is blown by the wind. Dancing well...

...

All in all, in such a country where the climate is too wild and even normal life is difficult, everything is naturally focused on practicality, and it is difficult to have any exquisite and gorgeous unique specialties.

Liquor, bacon, candies, sausages, biscuits... those that feel a little famous are basically all kinds of food and drink, as well as a series of foods with shockingly high calories, and these things maintain Ronika is definitely not in short supply, and it would be even more unworthy of her to bring her all the way back.

Although I feel that no matter what I bring back, she will happily accept it, but since she has spoken, she must give something more meaningful... Well... the liquor can be given to the director. Bring it on, she'll definitely like this.

After taking out the small notebook and charcoal pen that he had brought with him and writing "strong liquor" on it, Leon, who was sitting by the airship porthole, couldn't help but turn his head and look to the side. female cleaner.

If you really want to get some souvenirs, it is naturally the most convenient way to go directly to her, a local pig in the north, but Veronica just had a little trouble with her because of her. Temper, what if she really takes a liking to him and has other thoughts?

“Why do you keep looking at me?”

After noticing the look Leon directed at him, the female cleaner who was eating the boat meal couldn’t help but look stern and subconsciously protected her. Protect the fruit pizza on your small table.

But soon, she seemed to remember something, and put down her hand hesitantly. Then she gritted her teeth and picked up the knife. She cut off a small piece of pizza and picked it up with a fork. On Lyon's plate.

“That’s all! I’m not full yet!”

"..."

Veronica, you are really overthinking this time...

Looking at the pot in front of her, it was bigger than a pot lid and had to be stacked in three layers before it could be put down. Giant pizza, and then looking at the small piece of pizza on his plate, which was not much bigger than a palm, Leon's face suddenly darkened.

To be honest, she can’t possibly like me! I dare say that in this guy's eyes, I'm not as attractive as a piece of pizza...and it's actually a pineapple pizza!

“Eat it yourself.”

After pushing back the sticky pizza that had at least three times more cheese in disgust, Leon looked at her surprisingly large lunch and couldn't help but complain:

"You're so stupid Where did you get this thing? My tablecloth is not as big as your pizza!"

"Of course I brought it myself!"

Forked the pizza that Lyon sent back and filled it. After putting it in her mouth, the female cleaner said happily:

"Although the food from your kingdom is exquisite and delicious, when it comes to filling your stomach, the food from our northern region is the most suitable!"

Indeed, there is nothing wrong with that... Apart from you, I have never seen anyone else be able to swallow this cheese that is spread thicker than the table board.

After he couldn't help but curse a few words about the food culture in the North, Leon glanced at the three branch directors who were closing their eyes to rest on the other side of the airship aisle, and then asked the female cleaner Said:

"Meili, do you have any specialties in the north?"

"Of course there are, and there are a lot of them!"

The female cleaner nodded when she heard this. He nodded, then swallowed the pizza in his mouth, and counted it with his fingers enthusiastically:

"There are many kinds of jerky, but I only remember the most famous ones, such as snow mammoth jerky, ice cave rhinoceros jerky, spiny elephant smoked ribs, thick-hoofed donkey paws, saber-toothed tiger whip..."
