    The trees that had lost all their leaves could not even hold the snow, so they could only stretch out their branches like carbon strips towards the gray sky.  However, the occasional hanging piece of shining ice can be regarded as adding a different color to it.  It¡¯s a pity that the faces of the players who saw this ¡®Devil Forest¡¯ looked extremely ugly.  Of course, this is not because of the weird shape of the forest in front of you, but because according to the route in the players' minds, it does not affect the appearance in front of them.  "Damn it! Where is this place now?" Claudia, who had been trekking in the wind and snow for several days, finally couldn't help but roar.  However, in the "whooshing" strong wind, the roar of the True Name Master's forehead was blown away before it spread very far.  At this time, Noodles was lying on the horse and fiddling with the map, trying to find the specific location of the forest in front of him.  And Barrett turned over directly, walked to the edge of the forest and patted the trunk: "There are many deciduous woodlands in Nohan, but most of them are concentrated in the west. It seems that we are indeed a distance from Boreham.  The leader is getting closer. But how to go next is really a big problem now. "If it were in the past, Barrett could also try to observe the surrounding landscape to roughly estimate the group's current location.  But now, not only was the heavy snow changing everything around him beyond recognition, but more importantly, Barrett couldn't even see the scene 30 meters away.  Under such conditions, even locals who were born and raised in this area cannot confirm their location by identifying the environment.  "Don't you have to rely on my divination in the end?" Clematis took out a few dominoes very proudly. It was obvious that she had not been preparing this spell for a day or two.  It's just that I didn't have the chance to show it until now. The urge to turn the tide has indeed been held in for a long time.  Barrett, who suddenly realized that he had no other good solution, could only nod his head: "It seems that the only thing I can do is ask Clematis to take action." "Leave it to me!" After saying this  After speaking, Clematis dismounted and used the horse's body as a low wall to block the wind and snow, and began to use the dominoes to perform magical spells.  As Clematis prayed, the dominoes in front of her kept turning. When they finally stopped, her eyes lit up: "Go south! The result of the prayer is to remind us to go south." "Go south? Could it be that before?  Did you go too far when you were resting north?" he said while scribbling on the map with a charcoal pen and then placing the pen on his ear.  Barrett took the reins again and jumped onto the horse with ease: "We have been walking for so many days, and we have encountered a lot of little troubles on the way. I'm afraid I can't tell what the reason is. At the moment, I can only  I can give it a try based on the results of Clematis¡¯ divination. I hope there won¡¯t be any problems again. ¡°Although the magic of ¡®divination¡¯ has a certain chance of failure, the interpretation of the divination results also depends on the experience of the caster.  But this time Clematis finally didn't lose his grip.  At noon on the second day of walking south, the players finally saw a passage that could be passed through, instead of the weird looking woods.  "Before it was buried by the heavy snow, this should have been a passing trade route." After saying this, Barrett turned his head and looked at the woods on both sides that were still in sight, "With these two constraints, we are at least getting out of here.  We won¡¯t leave the business road before Pianlinzi.¡± ¡°But now we don¡¯t know where this road leads!¡± Rierli was still a little worried.  Barrett didn't care about this: "At most, I just went to another territory. Anyway, as long as you find the town, you can confirm your current location. It will be very convenient to correct the direction of progress." In this way, the players continued  After advancing for about 4 days, the players' ears continued to hear the "clang" sound of metal collision and the "crack" sound of steam rising.  When the falling snow could no longer block everyone's sight, what came into the players' eyes was the strangely crooked cloud pillar in the sky.  The most important steel production base in the Bolum Territory of Gameril City suddenly appeared in front of the players.  Barrett, who recognized this town, waved his arms: "Guys, it seems that we are lucky this time. Of course, the most important thing is Clematis's magic. We are finally home, although the  The environment is very bad. But anyway, we finally returned to the Bolum Territory." It didn't take long to find the players at the city gate and encountered routine questioning and inspection.  Although the guards in the cold wind were wearing thick leather jackets, they still tightened the woolen cloaks on their backs.  Even though they were still stamping their feet, these city guards still adhered to their duties and held the weapons in their hands, paying attention to any creature that planned to approach the city gate.  "Stop! Stay safe"Away!  Sign up to come!  "The guards who discovered Barrett and his party immediately announced three sentences in a loud voice. Barrett, who responded to them, turned over and dismounted, and then threw the badge proving his identity: "I am a member of the family.  Barrett, this time on his way back to his territory with his adventure companions, suddenly encountered this damn weather.  As a result, I was a little disoriented. I had planned to go to the city of Poitou, but I didn't expect to end up here.  "The soldier who reached out to take the badge took off one of his leather gloves regardless of the cold weather. He then rubbed the badge until his fingers turned white from the cold.  Throwing the badge back into Barrett's hands: "Welcome home!  Sir, are these your teammates behind you?  " "Those are members of my mercenary group. Their names are on this certificate.  "Barrett, who received the goodwill, stepped forward and took out the certification document. After the soldier carefully checked it and stabilized it, he sent it back: "I wasted your time, we are doing a routine thing.  " "Direction!  We understand.  After all, this is all for everyone¡¯s safety!  "Barrett nodded while packing up the certificates. The two guards quickly made way for the players. Players who entered the city found that the goose-feather heavy snow did not seem to make it difficult for them to  What a big change has happened. There is a raging fire burning all the time, and the flames are constantly emitting thick smoke. Only the white smoke emitted from the pipes is swirling gently under the cold north wind.  There is not much snow on the roads in the city, and from time to time you can see small carts filled with snow and ice on both sides of the road, and the ice under the eaves is melted by the heat from the furnace and sprinkled with sand.  Not far from the ground, a carriage full of sticky tar came towards the players. Occasionally, the tar spilled out from the gaps in the barrel, leaving them behind in the originally white snow.  There were puddles of black marks. Although the air was as uncomfortable as ever, the players who had been trekking in the snow for several days now found a hotel in the city as quickly as possible.  , a group of people moved in immediately, but there was no open space to expand the "warm home" in the city. Although this strange thing seemed to blend into the surrounding environment, it did not actually occupy the space after it was formed.  Not too small. Of course, another reason is that the players are tired of Barrett's big pot of soup. As the saying goes, it's hard for a good woman to cook without rice. With just a few ingredients, even the best cooking skills can do it.  There are so many changes in this snowy season, and there is no way to go hunting and eat! Of course, for this reason, the remaining players dare not say, otherwise, what will be waiting for them next time they go to the wilderness.  If you like it, go away! ' After enjoying the meal in the hotel that was not delicious but had some changes, the players gathered in the unfamiliar environment.  In the middle, Noodles stood behind the door as usual. Rielle, who was sitting by the bed, suddenly spoke: "Barrett, have you noticed that this time the city gate inspection is more stringent than before.  Less!  It seems that the Earl has recruited us back, and I am afraid that something big is about to happen.  " "In such an environment with poor visibility, it is inevitable that the inspection of the city gate should be stricter!  "As Barrett, who is very familiar with the customs of Bolum Territory, he doesn't have much idea about this aspect. Knowing that he is not as good as Barrett in this aspect, the mage immediately seemed to have a frustrated temper: "Okay  Bar!  I'm being overly sentimental in this matter.  " "Is there any need to worry so much?  Now that we are here, the city of Poitou is not far away.  Instead of just thinking about it here, why not ask Barrett to find out clearly in a few days!  Clematis stretched out and lay down directly on the bed. Then she rolled over and said, "The mattresses here are not as good as those in the Sweet Home."  "    "alright!  alright!  You don¡¯t even think about how expensive that thing is.  Naturally, it cannot be compared to this kind of small hotel.  Barrett also patted his mattress, "If nothing happens, everyone should go to bed early!"  After hitting the road tomorrow morning, our destination will soon be reached.  " After leaving the Steel City the next day, the players continued to fly south. Although the road was still under the snow, Barrett, who was very familiar with the Bolum Territory, was still able to lead his companions.  In the right direction. Finally, before the sun completely set, the players, who had lost weight on their horses, stepped into the city gate of Poitou and trekked through the snow with the final rush, giving the players a  The mount has had a certain negative impact. According to Barrett's experience.Look, if these cute animals are not taken care of for a week or two, they may not be able to fully recover.  After a short rest in the hotel, Barrett got up early the next morning and took care of his personal hygiene.  Then according to past experience, we hired a carriage to go to the city hall.  After applying for a meeting, Barrett waited outside City Hall to hear back from the messenger.  Not long after, the guard who entered the city hall walked directly to Barrett: "The Earl is waiting for you in the office upstairs. Do you need me to lead the way?" "No! No need. I was there before.  I've been here once before, so I know how to get there." Barrett nodded to express his understanding.  Entering the familiar city hall, Barrett came to the office door and knocked gently three times: "Your Majesty, Barrett is waiting for your reception outside." "Come in! Remember to close the door." Behind the door  Then came the voice of Earl Boreham.  Barrett, who pushed the door open, bowed and saluted: "I'm very sorry! I seem to be late." "No! It's not actually late! No one can predict the damn weather. I'm afraid you may have eaten something bad along the way.  It¡¯s not a small pain!¡± Earl Bolum, who was sitting behind the desk, did not mean to blame him at all, but instead teased Barrett with a smile.  After hearing this, Barrett straightened up: "It's not that hard. It's just that I took a lot of detours in the snow." "You didn't tell anyone the reason why you set out!" Bo finished the chat.  Earl Lem's expression became serious.  Barrett nodded: "I didn't tell anyone. Ever since I found out that the secret letter was sent, I have been very careful. And in order to prevent others from seeing the clues, we didn't even dare to move with the caravan. We didn't dare to go either."  Hire a spellcaster to use the teleportation spell. "That's good! It's pretty good for you to be able to do this at your age." Earl Bolum nodded with satisfaction, "Then you want to know why I called you back this time."  "I think so. But if you don't tell me, Lord Earl, I won't take the initiative to ask. If you want to tell me, you will naturally give the order because it is too early to let us know."  I'm afraid it's a burden." Barrett expressed his thoughts frankly.  After hearing this, Earl Bolum's serious expression disappeared, and a brief smile appeared on his face: "This idea is very good. It is not only beneficial to the execution of the mission. It can also effectively ensure one's own safety."  Safety. Knowing some information too early may make you a target of the enemy. "Yes! There are not many enemies who can threaten us. We must be careful in this situation."  Retello said, pretending to be a little ashamed.  However, Earl Boreham is still very satisfied: "It is a good thing to be cautious. At least this way, it is not easy to get hot-headed and do stupid things. It is especially important for young people. Remember that the brain is often better than the knife."
