Chapter 310 Snow Castle
Waiting far away from the slave merchant's shop, Helot threw the key in his hand on the ground: "You are not suitable for me, and I am too lazy to find the slave merchant to return the goods. You are free Don’t follow me anymore.”
The slave immediately lay down on the ground, picked up the key, opened the shackles on his hands and feet as quickly as possible, got up and got into the narrow alley next to him, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. .
The slave traders were right, slaves would run away as soon as they were freed from their shackles.
Helot looked at the shackles thrown on the ground and smiled, turned around and continued walking forward.
The Snow Castle is very easy to find. It can be regarded as an inner city separated by high walls and doubles as a military camp for watchmen. The castle's guards were not as strict as expected, and a cart filled with frozen fish could enter without being subject to too strict inspection.
When it was Herot's turn, he only said that he wanted to get a lunch, and used a trick to release a ball of fire, and he was allowed into the castle.
Just when he was about to enter the castle, someone behind him said to the guard: "The mage in front is my master!"
Helot was stopped by the guard: "Mage Sir, please confirm whether the person behind is your slave."
Helot turned around and looked... Although the sloppy Northern Xinjiang people all looked the same, the headband on his wrist proved that he was. identity.
Now the slave had his discarded shackles on his hands and feet again.
Helot said: "Yes, he is my slave!"
The guard released again: "Mr. Master, please enter the snow castle. You and your slaves can go to the dining hall to collect A piece of food. If you don’t find a place to stay, you can also apply for a cheap room to rest, but please do not enter areas where outsiders are not allowed, otherwise it will cause you unnecessary trouble.”
"I'll remember it, thank you!"
Helot saluted the mage to the guard, and then passed through the gate.
Behind the gate is a very open training ground, where a team of watchmen are riding armored bears for sprint training. Frozen fish are piled on the edge of the training ground, and armored bears who perform well can be rewarded with frozen fish.
As we walked inside, we passed an ordnance manufacturing workshop. The people inside were all armored bears wielding hammers and striking iron ingots. The human blacksmith could only act as a deputy for the armored bears. The strength of those armored bears was huge. Every time they hammered, sparks flew everywhere, and their white fur was roasted to brown.
Melis said that armored bears will forge armor for themselves, and some armored bears can even forge magic armor.
The armored bear is one of the magical species unique to the northern polar regions.
After passing through several courtyards with their own functions, Herot arrived at the watchman's dining hall and received a piece of food.
On the dinner plate, there was a piece of black bread as hard as a brick, a piece of meat from an unknown animal, a small bowl of fat and three baked potatoes.
There is no dining table, so the watchman just finds a place to sit in the snow nest to eat. In order to find out the news, Herot sat with several watchmen and listened to what they were talking about.
The slave also received a portion of food, but there was no bread, no meat, no grease, and of course no dinner plate, only three potatoes in his hands. He sat down not far from Helot, briefly cooled the potatoes with snow, and ate them.
Helot followed the watchman's example, using a knife to cut the bread and meat, then dip some fat into his mouth and chew it. If it feels too cold, take a bite of hot potatoes to warm up the frozen meat.
It tastes so bad that I really want to throw it up.
His expression made the watchers around him laugh.
"Weak southerners should not appear in northern Xinjiang. Our bread can break your teeth."
Helot still spit out the mixture in his mouth. He fired back: "Smart southerners know how to make food more delicious."
After saying that, Herot reached out and lit a fire out of thin air on the snow.
The identity of the mage made the watchman shut up.
In the northern territory ruled by the Bingxue family, knowledge was in the hands of the top people, so mages were naturally very rare. If it hadn't been for a southern mage to venture to northern Xinjiang, these watchmen sitting in the snow eating might never have been so close to the mage in their lives. Herot stabilized the fire, then used the hanging magic to bake the frozen meat and hard bread on the fire, then spread grease on the meat and bread, and kept turning them.
After roasting for a while, the aroma filled the whole yard.
Sprinkle with salt and spices and the aroma will be even more tempting!
Looking at the drooling looks of the watchmen around him, Herot raised a bonfire on the ground with a wave of his hand, and threw bags of salt and spices on the ground.
"If you want to eat like southerners, bake it yourself. Salt and spices are free."
Fuel is very precious during the freezing period. When the watchers see the free fire, they immediately put their food on the Roast over fire.
Packs of salt and spices, passed from hand to hand.
"Praise to the respected mage! Praise to the generous southerners!"
Helot and the watchers immediately became friends who talked about everything.
More information was found out.
The marriage between Master Panier and Princess Emma Lubeli is true, but Princess Emma Lubeli does not seem to agree. A big battle broke out in the central castle a few days ago, and it was only Master Rogrid of the Erwin family who arrived to calm it down.
I heard...Princess Emmalu Bailey was seriously injured in that battle...
When it came to sensitive topics, someone spoke up to stop them, and the watchers were so afraid that they shut up immediately.
Helot laughed and said: "I am planning to go deep into the polar regions to hunt the cold monsters, just because I want to join the watchmen and become a supporter of Master Rogrid. But I heard that Master Rogrid has no support for me. The requirements are very high. Do you know what kind of strength you need to achieve to be recognized by Master Rogrid? ”
This is no longer a sensitive topic.
The enthusiastic watchman said: "If you want to become a supporter of Master Rogrid, you must first join the Ice Knights, and then have certain achievements. I think hunting an ordinary cold The demon is not enough, at least you have to hunt down a transcendent level one cold demon alone.”
“I think Master Mage can consider becoming Master Panier’s supporter, so that you can stay in the Snow Castle. "
"You want to eat roasted meat on Master Mage's fire every day?"
"Don't you want to?"
"Master Mage, you should really consider becoming a supporter of Master Panier. Master Panier is very easy-going, while Master Rogrid is very strict."
......
The watchmen all suggested that Herot should follow Master Parnell.
It can be seen that Master Panier is indeed very popular.
"I will consider your suggestions carefully. After all, there is still a lot of preparation needed to go to the Pole. The first thing is to let my slaves grow meat so that they can carry more supplies for me."
The guards looked at Herot's slave and saw that he was indeed too thin. Entering the polar regions with such a thin body, let alone carrying supplies, it would be a good thing if he could avoid freezing to death.
“Go and get more potatoes for the Master Mage’s slaves!”
Helot was eating hot bread and meat...
Li Melis It's very close. I'll stay here tonight to see if I have a chance to find her!
