Chapter 315 Endless Energy
The slave merchant took away the silver coins: "Those places are not accessible to me. If it were you...the Skowo family should let you in. As we all know, the icebergs and snow peaks are not only accessible Towards the polar plateau, there are some caves leading down to the Earth Fire Magma, which is the territory of the Armored Bear.
The fire element there is very active, but the cave entrances are guarded by watchers."
< br>When Helot chatted with Melis before, he knew that capturing and subduing an armored bear alone was one of the criteria for becoming a watcher. During the freezing season, armored bears will spend the winter in caves with geothermal magma. The geothermal magma is a very long underground rift valley. The entrance is not only on the iceberg and snow peaks, but there are other entrances in northern Xinjiang close to the polar plateau. , but the entrance to the cave will be covered with ice and snow, making it difficult to find.
Helot didn’t wait for the slave merchant to put the silver coins in his pocket, and reached out to snatch them back: "The information that everyone knows is definitely not worth a silver coin. Tell me the specific locations of those cave entrances."
"How could I possibly know!"
Helot tossed the silver coin.
The slave merchant said helplessly: "Okay, I know the location of the two cave entrances, wait for me here."
The slave merchant turned back and walked into the room, and walked out after a while, There was a hand-drawn map in his hand: "The middle road is the main road leading to the Ice Castle. This branch road is about a kilometer away from the Snow City. There is a cliff there. If you keep walking, you can see a cliff. At the watchman's camp, the two cave entrances are there."
After listening to the route told by the slave merchant, Helot took the map and threw the silver coin to him: "This is yours, goodbye!"
The slave merchant caught the silver coin: "Thank you, respected mage."
Halot had just left when a man in a white cloak appeared next to the slave merchant.
"What did that man say to you?"
The slave trader immediately became panicked when he saw the man's clothes. He immediately replied: "Sir, that is a mage from the south. , bought a slave from me yesterday, and for some reason asked me about the origin of the slave. I told him that the slave was sold to me by Tribulus Boar Village.”
The visitor took out a record book and charcoal. Record it and ask again: "Is this all there is?"
The slave trader answered hesitantly: "Also, and... He said he was a fire magician and wanted to replenish his elemental energy before going to the polar plateau. I told him... he could go, go to the earth fire magma... "
The man recorded it truthfully: "Continue."
The slave merchant sweated on his forehead: "I drew a map for him and marked the locations of the two cave entrances."< br>
“…”
The slave merchant felt the sharp gaze: “I will draw the map for you, please wait.”
Soon the slave merchant ran out with the map in his hand, bowed his head and presented it in fear: "Sir, please forgive me."
The slave merchant felt that the other party had taken away the map in his hand, and when he looked up, the other party was no longer there. .
"Master, master..." York Red reminded Hailot in a low voice: "It seems that someone is following you."
"I know!" Hailot continued to walk forward.
And Helot also knew the identity of the other party. He was a "snow monster", a team of watchmen who specialized in spying missions. The main targets of "Snow Monster" spying are cold monsters. Because they need to go deep into the polar regions alone, they all have very strong individual strength.
The "snow monster" behind me has followed him since he left the snow castle.
York Hong also discovered the "snow monster". It seems that he was not just lucky to be able to come back alive from the polar plateau.
Helot didn't think of a way to get rid of the tracking, and walked into the Usman's courtyard in a swagger.
Then he received a warm reception from Usman: "Dear Bonebreaker Master, it's an honor to see you again. Go to the room, where there is a hot stove and mellow wine. "Helot followed Usman into the room and quietly released the bat from his sleeve.
The two sat down around the burning stove, and the servant brought a large glass of ale.
Helot asked about the current location of Tribulus Boar Village.
“That’s a group of robbers!” Usman replied while drinking: “They occupy an ice lake ten kilometers southwest of Syracuse. Anyone who wants to dig ice and fish in the ice lake, You have to give them a sum of money first. However, they are somewhat restrained near Snow City, at least they won't kill people directly or capture and sell them to slave traders.
What do you want from them? "
"Help my slave find his wife. His village may have been attacked by the Tribulus Boar Village."
Hearing that Helot came here specifically for a slave, Usman was a little confused: "The Tribulus Wild Boar Village is a bandit group. They are very powerful. I advise you not to provoke them for a slave."
< br>"I am just asking for information, and have no intention of causing trouble for myself before heading to the polar plateau. I want to purchase some supplies, and I hope you can help me buy them all at once."
Helot gave Wu Sman a list.
"No problem!" Usman agreed readily. Although he was only a seasoning merchant, he was also familiar with other merchants: "I will send someone to prepare it now..."
Usman left the matter to the servant and continued chatting with Helot.
In order to buy Bresini time, Herot asked a lot of questions about the Polar Plateau and the Ice and Snow Family.
It can be heard that Usman has great complaints about Duke Erwin's order not to allow modern civilization to enter northern Xinjiang. And he is not the only one who is dissatisfied...
Compared with the southern cities he has been to, the current Syracuse is no different from a pigsty.
“Many businessmen only come to Syracuse during the freezing season, and go south to escape the stench here during the warm season! When I make some more money, I will move directly and never come back here again...”< br>
Drinking more wine, Usman started talking more and more.
While Hailot was drinking and chatting, what he was thinking about was that the Tomorrow Group had issued an energy inspection report in Northern Xinjiang.
The heat source of the subterranean magma under the polar plateau in northern Xinjiang is not geothermal, but the high concentration of fire elements formed by the special environment of the polar regions. This is simply the cheap energy that all energy traders dream of, and it is inexhaustible.
In order to efficiently develop the geothermal magma, the Tomorrow Group has set up a special department, and has climbed to the iceberg and snow peaks many times to negotiate with Duke Erwin.
As long as the underground fire magma resources can be used to build power stations and magic fire rod production plants, Snow City can become a modern cutting-edge city in a short period of time. In order to get this project, Tomorrow Group is even willing to give away an electric rail car system from Snow City to the Ice Castle.
However, Duke Erwin was unmoved and refused all the conditions offered by the Tomorrow Group.
If I remember correctly, although this department of Tomorrow Group has experienced many layoffs, it is still retained.
It can be seen that my mother has always been concerned about the energy here.
Helot once again used the excuse of wanting to absorb elements to ask Usman some questions about earth, fire and magma.
