There is an interesting theory that something exists because it is needed, and if it is no longer needed, that is when it dies. The Northland has a cold climate, complex terrain, and countless dangerous creatures. However, because of this, big countries or relatively large forces cannot extend their hands here. Therefore, although life in the Ten Towns is difficult, it can still be regarded as a paradise. "But, even people who live in outdoor peach gardens still need to eat and drink water. They don't have to worry about water. In the North, iceberg spring water can be obtained on demand, but food is much more troublesome. The environment in the North makes it absolutely impossible to grow a grain of food here. As for hunting? Apart from humans, the only creatures that can survive in the North are snow apes or orcs. I don¡¯t think many people would use this meat as daily food. Fortunately, the Northland also has its own special products such as animal pelts and steelhead trout. People in the Ten Towns will organize caravans to transport these products to Miraba at a fixed time in exchange for food for survival. However, at this time It was also the time when the "natives" of the North were hunting, so there were countless people and property buried in the vast snow-capped mountains. After walking in the mountains for a month and eliminating some blind natives, the group finally left the snowy terrain and set foot on the grass. The grass underfoot is very lush and green as far as the eye can see. However, probably because of the climate, the grass here does not grow very high, and the highest point only reaches the top of the feet. ¡®How many people will die? ' As a druid, Jaheira was of course very happy to see such a scene, but that was not what he was thinking. Being proficient in biology, he had already felt that there was something abnormal about this grassland, which was caused by many organic fertilizers. As a result, in this world, the so-called "organic fertilizer" can only be the flesh and blood of living things, which means that this is the defense line of the Broken Hand Tower and Dorne Caves, where a large number of Northland natives were killed. "Stop!" Just as Jack expected, a crisp voice suddenly appeared shortly after they crossed the snow-grass boundary, and a small group of elves accompanied the voice. Two warriors wearing chain armor and holding long swords, three archers, and a mage holding a staff behind them, a standard patrol or sentry unit. The communication is naturally done by Jaheira. Although the purebred elves of Kita don't think much of the mixed half-elves, as a druid, Jaheira will always make the nature-loving elves have a natural affection. The team is not unreasonable. That "stop" was just their duty. After all, at the beginning, the archer only loaded the bow string, but the arrow was still well inserted in the quiver. After a simple exchange, Jack and the others knew that this team belonged to the Broken Hand Tower. They also knew that Jack and the others were from Kudaha and were going to the Broken Hand Tower to meet the Elf Archmage Rilla and inform him of important matters. In this regard, the elves did not stop them, and directly told him to go south and east along the mountains, and they would soon be able to see the Broken Hand Tower. In this way, the two teams said goodbye happily, and when they left, probably only Jack and Eureka noticed that the magic staff in the mage's hand flashed. It was only after they were on the road that Jack and the others realized how huge the gap was between what they called "seeing" and what they thought in their hearts. People say, "Looking at the mountain and running to death", indeed, as the captain of the patrol said, in less than half a day's walking, the towering Broken Hand Tower had already appeared in their sight, but when they got there, it was difficult to see the tower. It was a day later. During this day's journey, Jack and the others saw several teams like that patrol, but the team members were not only elves, but also dwarves. Although they had never done anything, they did not know their specific combat effectiveness. But they all have one thing in common, that is, they are well-equipped. According to the thief Kashan, the cooperation between the Dorne Caves and the Broken Hand Tower has been going on for nearly a hundred years. This cooperation is not only a regional military alliance, they also combine their own specialties, that is, the dwarves For the talent of blacksmithing and the enchanting skills of elves, they would sell a batch of powerful equipment that combines the heaviness and reliability of dwarves and the delicacy and mystery of elves in Mirabar every year, in exchange for some necessities that cannot be obtained in the North. These pieces of equipment are in hot demand throughout Faer?n. ¡ª¡ªThis shows how powerful their own equipment is. No matter how long the journey is, there will always be a day when the journey is over. Jack and the others finally arrived at the Broken Hand Tower. Perhaps it was the patrol team we met for the first time. The mage in it sent some signal to the back. Not only did other patrol teams show due kindness to Jack and the others along the way, but the Broken Hand Tower also took measures to deal with their arrival. Their attitude was not wary, so they quickly arrived at La Bella Tower and met their target, Elf Archmage Larry, on the third floor. "Yes, Master Arundel made an agreement with me some time ago.The relationship told us the general situation, but we can only understand the details after interrogating the six-armed snake demon. "There was no impression of the half-elf's procrastination. After Jahira explained the purpose of his visit, the archmage, who was wearing a robe and seemed to be in his prime, immediately made a decision. "Jack and the others are not interested in torture and confessions, but this doesn't matter. It means that they will have some free time. Although the six-armed snake demon has not spoken yet, at least judging from Larry's attitude, the Broken Hand Tower takes this matter very seriously, and the dwarf contact person living here has also returned. I believe there will be a response there soon, and Jack's mission is to go to the snowy mountains in the north to find the Broken Hand Tower and another ally in the Dorne vault. They have enjoyed the short-term warmth, but now they have to do it again. Back in the cold snowy mountains, Jack and the others, as adventurers, didn't take it seriously. This trip to the snowy mountains was not just for them, Broken Hand Tower also sent a guide - this was necessary, otherwise they would get lost in the complicated snow valley. It¡¯s not a fun thing. This person, who looks like a unique professional elf magic swordsman with a severed hand tower, is walking in front. He is wearing chain armor and has an enchanted sword on his back. He still looks like an elf even on the snow. With the unique lightness of the clan, it seems that this girl, who is still just a little girl among the elves, is definitely not weak in close combat, not to mention that she is Larry¡¯s daughter. You can see it. "As the guide, the elf girl Avni turned around and said. This action caused her long golden hair to swing out in a beautiful arc. Others could feel her joy, but this joy always made people feel It¡¯s a bit strange. We are almost reaching our goal. What¡¯s so surprising about it? It¡¯s only been less than a day since we walked here from the Broken Hand Tower. Is there any need to be so happy? Jack and the others continued to follow. This woman thought about moving forward and after passing the bend she was talking about, her eyes suddenly opened up. In a drop-shaped valley, a dwarf fortress built on the mountain was standing there. Not to mention anything else. Just look at the stone wall made of white granite and you can imagine how solid it is. ¡°Boom! "Suddenly, there was a loud noise, which came from a tower outside the city. Then a lot of black smoke came out of the tower, but Avni's attitude was that she was not surprised at all, but she still explained: "That's the alchemy tower, and inside is the great alchemist's laboratory, but their success rate" Well, they probably understood it only after following Avni into the strong fortress gate. The name of the owner of this fortress: the Alpine Clan, the Hammer Dwarves. As for why no one told Jack and the others from the beginning to the moment before, according to Karatu, who looked surprised at that time, the Alpine Clan was the same even in the North. A legendary existence. I only heard that the Broken Hand Tower and Dorne Caves are connected to them. Now it is confirmed that this is true. As for why it is kept secret, it must be some kind of protection. When entering the fortress, there are naturally guards to guide the way. As for the fortress. Some of the other people inside smiled kindly at Jack and the others, and some greeted Avni. Avni responded politely, but they did not stop the various tasks at hand, which made the fortress appear energetic. And orderly. Before entering the interior of the fortress, Jack and the others passed by a square. What was strange was that there was a statue in the middle of the square. The statue was certainly not strange. What was strange was that it was not a statue of a dwarf. It looked like it should be. A human girl of thirteen or fourteen years old. The girl's whole body was covered by a robe. The only things exposed were her left hand holding a card and a quirky smile under the hood. "Lina¡¤ Harvey, our little girl, no matter where in the world you are, I wish you happiness forever. "The above is the inscription under the monument. Now Jack and the others are standing in front of the statue. It's not that they don't want to leave. It's just that Avni has been looking at the statue intoxicated. However, Jack and the others will not suspect that she is a lesbian because of this intoxication. It was more of admiration, as if seeing a hero that he had longed for, and the guard next to him shrugged. It seemed that this was not the first time. Fortunately, Avni was quite restrained. After recovering quickly, the team continued to move forward and finally entered the interior of the fortress. ¡°Haha! Little girl, you didn¡¯t keep me waiting too long this time! "This is the hearty laughter that only belongs to dwarves. I saw a dwarf wearing black armor and a red cape sitting on the main seat, laughing at Avni. I think this should be the leader of the Alpine clan. " Uncle Jamos, you are laughing at me again! "Although Avni expressed his dissatisfaction by pouting and stamping his feet, it seemed like a junior acting coquettishly to his elders. Of course, the dwarf patriarch named Jamos laughed, and Avni?It's not that she's really angry, she's just embarrassed. After all, she also knows her situation. Although she tells herself over and over again before coming in, she must control, she must control, but she still can't control it. In this regard, everyone understands that Avni is now the age to admire heroes. Although Lina is fourteen years old, Avni as an elf is actually about the same age as her, but the other party is also close to saving the world. A great hero, so it¡¯s not surprising that Avni admires him. ;
