    The letter from Poitou completely disrupted the players' original plans, but it also gave the somewhat confused players a clear goal.  ¡ø¡à¡ø¡à, although this goal really affects only a few people in the team, as long as it is done properly, it may not be able to point the way for the remaining few.  Since they are going back to the city of Poitou, the players naturally have to make preparations for departure quickly.  Time is relatively tight this time, and there is also a convenient and comfortable mobile hotel like ¡®Warm Home¡¯.  Naturally, everyone in the ¡®Blood-Stained Gray Flower¡¯ no longer joins the caravans on the same route as before.  Instead, a group of people rode back to Bolum Territory on their own.  And just the day before departure, the golden lion statue that was sent to the auction house by Noodles brought players a reward of 10,500 gold coins.  You must know that this is still the result of deducting the auction house's handling fee. If you calculate the final transaction price alone, it will definitely exceed 11,600 gold coins.  Compared with the 8,300 gold coins that players originally bought, the price is nearly 40% higher.  However, considering Ulrich¡¯s huge consumer group, the reputation of the ¡®Papworth¡¯ auction house and the original gap between the market price and the internal price.  Such a price is actually not high.  If we were not participating in a small auction held once every four days, but a large-scale auction that had been publicized for at least half a month, the final transaction price of this rare object would have gone up by around 20% at least.  Among the second-generation groups in Rickne, there are indispensable guys who cannot take the route of warriors. Their demand for such rare items is insatiable.  From this, we can see how right the decision was by Noodles in stopping Claudia from giving the golden lion statue to the Church of the Good Dragon God at a discount.  After all, the calculation of the compensation price is often based on the basic price of the rare item.  Compared with the auction, there is a price difference of at least 50%.  No wonder the halfling wanderer hurriedly stopped him at that time.  After the funds were withdrawn, Clematis immediately repaid the loan a few days ago with interest.  After cleaning up all possible troubles, everyone left Ulric's west gate with their horses and whips in full swing.  Players far away from the city are running wildly on the business road.  Soon, the advancing caravan was discovered not far ahead.  Before making contact with the opponent¡¯s ranger at the rear, Barrett raised his hand to give a signal to his teammates behind him.  Then he took the lead and jumped down the trade road and started running wildly in the wilderness, hoping to use this method to bypass the slow caravan in front of him. After all, if he passed by the trade road, he would definitely end up with that caravan.  Dealing with hired escorts.  This actually wastes much more time than avoiding the wilderness.  If the players had just formed a team, except for Barrett, none of the remaining companions in the Blood-stained Gray Flowers had the ability to ride horses in the wilderness. This was also the reason why they had joined the caravan for a long time at that time.  one.  However, after such a long time has passed, the remaining players have already solved this problem through the improvement of waiting records and their own efforts.  Otherwise, no one would have been able to escape from the Cruze Kingdom.  But now, these poor riders at the beginning can continue to use the speed of light cavalry, whizzing past the caravan moving slowly on the side.  Then return to the commercial road ahead to save horsepower.  Just like this, detours, forwards, and detours were repeated, and the players rushed towards the city of Poitou faster than before. ? Coupled with the comfortable beds and decent kitchen facilities provided by the "Warm Home".  Players can sleep on soft beds after a tiring day. However, the dinner prepared by Barrett using simple ingredients (dried meat and some shelf-stable vegetables) is still delicious.  The combination of the two provides a considerable guarantee for the morale of the players.  Players who had made a lot of preparations thought that this journey would continue as smoothly as the first few days.  But it is a pity that nature played a big joke on these travelers who were on their way.  ¡®Why did the temperature suddenly become so low?  ¡¯ Barrett, who was awakened by the sudden drop in temperature in his sleep, found that a large amount of white mist appeared when he breathed.  Feeling that something was wrong, he immediately got out of the quilt.  Although the temperature in the mage's secret hall has exceeded freezing point, considering Barrett's physique, it is not a big deal.  Looking at several of his companions who were subconsciously huddled in the quilts, he immediately and cautiously approached the window to pry outside to prevent it from being written by someone with supernatural powers. Although the mage's secret hall can be hidden from most prying eyes, it is still not  Foolproof.  If you encounter hostile spellcasting, it is very likely that the outermost camouflage will be cracked.  Therefore, Barrett cannot take it lightly at this time. If he makes a noise rashly, it may trigger potential enemies to take early action.  Turning around to look, the starry sky outside the window that was originally brilliant before falling asleep has disappeared.  Like being pavedThere was a thick layer of quilt, and it was gray and lifeless.  Under the dim dome, fine snowflakes swirled in the cold wind, flying and jumping in the wilderness outside the window, like dancing butterflies, like flying catkins, and like scattered lemon worms.  Seeing this scene, Barrett was relieved. He walked straight out of the hut and began to take care of the horses tied next to the hut.  After solving these problems and returning to the house, he put on the cloak that he had taken off again and activated the above effect.  Immediately afterwards, the temperature in this secret hall climbed upward at a temperature that could be clearly felt. With the help of the comfortable cloak, the temperature in this small room finally became 'normal'.  After completing all this, Barrett stretched and thought: ¡®This way, I don¡¯t have to wake them all up.  I didn't expect that His Highness would actually show off his power today.  Our luck is really bad.  ' In this quiet winter night, Elros, the daughter of frost, transformed into countless flying snowflakes, walking towards the south step by step with elegant steps. The ice crystals scattered along the way landed little by little in every corner of the Western Continent.  .  "Coldness and ruthlessness are the functions of this goddess.  Along with the shining of her crown, even the seemingly eternal pine trees were moved by its crystal and covered with layers of silver armor.  This is a silent sharp blade, a poison hidden in the clear water.  The exposed bark of the tree continued to crack in the wind and snow, and the heavy ice and snow canopy crushed the frozen branches.  The flame of life gradually extinguished in the intersection of wind and water, and when her blue ice crystal sword was swung out, the shrill roar was entangled with the dense clouds, blocking the stars in the sky.  Then a snowstorm suddenly hit.  Gray clouds lay low on the ground, moving and filling the sky.  Heavy snow fell one after another.  As the northernmost political power, the northern city-state was the first to bear the brunt of this change.  The strong wind blew, and the chimneys that passed through the town roared.  At the same time, he was also chasing the snowflakes that were circling rapidly in the woods, dodging left and right, whistling shrilly, causing the entire forest to panic.  Then the blizzard became more and more fierce, and the biting cold wind caused the large flakes of snow to fall like autumn rain.  It shook the branches, roared and roared, wildly blowing away the accumulated snowflakes, and swept them into the air again.  It kept roaring, its direction changed erratically, and it almost overturned the simple stables that could be seen everywhere in the city.  It was like sharp stones scratching the faces of the farmers who went to reinforce it, leaving them breathless and speechless.  The two sides who were fighting at this time were even more miserable. When the original plain turned into a snowfield, the strong cold wind whistled sharply, blowing the flat snow on the snowfield into giant dragons, clinging to them.  The snow is rolling.  The evil dragons flew away the straw and overturned the tents, making the sleeping soldiers tremble under the majesty of the Frost Lady.  If Barrett was still in the North at this time, he would understand that the war between the Noble Council, the Mammoth Dynasty and the Seven Cities Alliance would inevitably stop because of the heavy snow.  The impact of the university on soldiers and residents is one thing, but the war-weariness caused by long-term fighting is actually more important. The impact of this heavy snow is the best excuse for members to use the slope to get off the mountain for those in power.  Under this situation, the Noble Council and the Mammoth Dynasty, who were on an expedition, were in a difficult situation. If they wanted to bring as many troops as possible back to their homeland, they had to pay a greater price to appease the soldiers of the Seven Cities Alliance who were relatively waiting for work.  Greedy chaebol family.  But the negotiations between the three regimes will not end too soon.  I'm afraid that even if everyone from the 'Blood-stained Gray Flower' returns to Bolum, the preliminary results of the negotiations there will be considered a very amazing progress.  When the player wakes up the next day, what he sees when he opens the door is the vast white world.  The sky seemed to be freezing.  The howling cold wind blew the cloaks behind the players loudly.  Fortunately, the current temperature was still within the range of the comfortable cloak, so the ladies behind Barrett did not shiver.  "This road seems to be difficult to walk on!" Looking at everything in front of her, Rielle complained.  The land in front of them was covered with snow and the original road was no longer visible. In this case, everyone could only rely on experience like migrating birds.  At this time, Clematis patted his friend's shoulder: "Don't worry! I can also use the group snow boots. Although using divination to determine the direction is a bit extravagant, it is actually not a big problem." "  In fact, it¡¯s not so wasteful. I have a compass here! The Bolum Territory should be the westernmost part of the kingdom. If we go in this direction, even if we deviate, we can definitely find it in a nearby town.  The information will be corrected." Noodles suddenly suggested while looking at the map. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Barrett, who had taken off the tapestry from the horse, turned around and said, "Let's walk around and see what the noodles say first! If you find any problems, use magic to solve them. Anyway, in the territory of Nohan, the plains  There is generally no big danger above. "But when they actually hit the road, the players discovered how difficult it is to travel in the wind and snow.  In this winter wilderness, the cooperation of light and shadow makes people feel as if there is a strong light shining on the snow-white wilderness. The horizon is greatly opened, the low and dark sky has disappeared, and only white slopes formed by falling snow can be seen in all directions.  The strong visual impact of the line made the players take out the 'snow goggles' that had been left at the bottom of the box in the storage space for who knows how long, and this solved the visual trouble.  But the bigger trouble has just begun.  In this wilderness, the wind stubbornly blows everything in one direction.  To the right, to the left, everything is white and gray.  The players' eyes wanted to find something new, but they couldn't find it: there was no signpost, no pile of hay, no fence, nothing could be seen, there was a piece of white snow everywhere.  Coupled with the influence of the heavy snow that was flying like a quill, no one could clearly see the reference point of the movement except for the companions around him.  Under such circumstances, even if you want to go westward with the help of a compass, it is not always easy.  Players must stop and move in the direction of the team.  At the same time, here, the wind is changing its direction all the time; sometimes it blows head-on, causing snowflakes to blind everyone's eyes; sometimes it blows the cloak high from the side annoyingly, and wipes it with it mockingly.  It touched the faces of the players; and after a while, it blew whirringly through some hole from behind.  This greatly reduces the progress of formation.  However, when the players discovered a caravan trekking in the wilderness, their psychology immediately became balanced. Many of the guys in the front row left deep footprints in the snow.  The ones behind stepped on and on, melting the soft snowflakes.  But under this extremely low temperature, the snow water quickly condensed and turned into a thin ice surface.  And the wheels of the carriage will inevitably slip under such circumstances.  There must be someone watching over you before you can move forward.  Then rows of ice seedlings like garlic cloves were erected, and the guys at the back stepped on them, making a clanging metallic sound.  The whole team was on the snow, like a snow plow driving a road of white and brown to the distance.  But the snowflakes that fell quickly covered the road that had just emerged again.  It's like it never appeared.  The rangers who were supposed to be scattered outside on guard were now huddled around the caravan due to safety concerns.  So when the two teams discovered each other, they were already very close. Looking at the sudden appearance of the team, the caravan suddenly sounded a 'ding-ding-dong-ding' alarm bell.  (To be continued.)
