Winter is the harshest season in the North. The howling cold wind is as sharp as a knife. The frozen ice is difficult to break open with a hammer. The land covered with ice and snow is almost impassable for any vehicle, let alone the most beautiful place. Deadly biting cold.
When it's the coldest, take a cup of hot water outside, walk around the house, and when you pour it down again, what drips down is cold water mixed with rustling ice flakes, and it won't spread when it hits the ground. , but will freeze into a small ice pick.
Want to do some outdoor activities in this terrible weather? The birthday boy must have hanged himself because he was tired of living.
But you can engage in outdoor activities in Void City. With the help of His Majesty Void Mask's magical barrier, the severe cold is blocked outside the barrier. Of course, the city is not cold, but the temperature is not so cold that people can't stand it. situation. As long as you don't run around wearing summer clothes, even ordinary autumn clothes can ward off the cold for a short time. As for those wearing winter clothes, many couldn't help but take some off to avoid being uncomfortable in the heat.
"December 25, 20th year of the Republican calendar, sunny. The outdoor temperature is 5 degrees, the northeast wind is level 2, and the air quality is good." Cambrogna wrote this line at the top of the daily government affairs record sheet, The record sheet was then sent to the archives office.
As an on-duty employee at the Municipal Office this week, he had to get off work later than usual for six consecutive days, and he had to work overtime on weekends. Sending this record sheet to the archives room for filing every day is an important part of the duty work.
After finishing his work, he packed up his things and came to the door of the Government Affairs Office. His wife, who had changed into casual clothes, was already waiting for him. Beside her, there was a taxi. The driver was holding a picture album and looking at it with a smile, quite forgetful of himself.
"Where are we going to eat today?" he asked with a smile.
"Proul Restaurant." Jane replied with the same smile, "Tomorrow it's Beta BBQ, and the day after tomorrow it's Frog Prince Hotel."
"Ha, you're all ready."
"Who told them to discuss it and have a special price every day until the celebration." Jane said with a smile, "Come on, those are just mid- to low-end restaurants. The Prol Restaurant is a high-end restaurant. If you go late, there will be no seats." .”
"I think even if I run there now, there may be no seats left..."
"Don't worry, I made a reservation before I came here. They promised that they would wait for us for half an hour."
Cambrona was relieved and took his wife's hand to board the carriage next to him.
The coachman put away the picture album, flicked his whip, and the strong packhorse pulled the carriage, clattering all the way forward.
Thanks to the smooth roadside, the car drove quickly and steadily, and soon we arrived at the famous restaurant.
Before the driver could put down the pedal, Cambroner jumped out of the car. As an officially registered knight in the Knights of Tolerance, he could escape unscathed even if he jumped from three or four floors, and this height would have no effect at all.
Seeing him standing next to the car door, Jane didn't wait for the pedal and jumped directly into his arms. He caught her firmly and held her in his arms.
"Am I a little heavier?" she asked.
"No, it's very light." Cambroner said. "I think you eat too little, which is not healthy enough."
"But if you eat too much, you will get fat."
"What does it have to do with being fat? A little fat is cute!"
Seeing the two of them firing off flash bombs as if no one was around, the young coachman sighed and advised: "You two, if you want to show your love, don't do it on the street! Also, can you please take this bag away? I have to go Doing business."
Cambrona hurriedly put his wife down, touched his nose and smiled awkwardly.
After taking their bags from the coachman and paying the fare, the couple entered the door smiling. They said a few words to the greeter at the door and reported their reservation number. Then the greeter took them to the seats specially reserved for them and at the same time ordered the kitchen to start preparing the dishes.
Just when she was about to reach the depths of the hall, Jane suddenly frowned slightly, turned around, and looked out the door.
"What's wrong?" Cambroner asked.
"It seems like someone is watching us." Jane said, "I don't know if it's my imagination."
"You are so beautiful, it's not surprising that someone is looking at you." Cambroner laughed, "Or maybe he was looking at me, trying to figure out how this toad got the swan meat."
"What 'swan meat'! I'm already old..."
"You are still very young. Even in a hundred years, you will still be a swan."
"Dried swan meat?"
"The dried swan meat is also very cute! The dried toad is perfect!"
The two of them walked away talking and laughing, not taking what just happened to heart.
At the same time, in a relatively secluded room, an old magician with his eyes closed took a deep breath, and his hanging heart finally relaxed.
"What a terrifying intuition. I used magic to spy from a distance, and it was actually noticed!" He opened his eyes again and said with some fear, "It is indeed a 'divine weapon'. Even if it is now shown as a mortal, its own The person still exists."
"I have to be more careful to avoid irritating her. Otherwise, even if I escape to the ends of the earth, I will still die!"
"I think you are overthinking." A young man's voice suddenly sounded next to him, "You may have to go to jail for a few years before you consider escaping to the ends of the earth. Our Northwest Republic has always been very strict about espionage activities."
The magician was stunned, and subconsciously raised his hand to touch a ring, but before he could touch the ring that could instantly cast a life-saving spell, a gust of cold air hit his neck, making him stop immediately. He stopped the movement of his hands and stayed in place without daring to move.
"Very good, you made a wise decision to save your life." The air around him shook slightly, and the handsome legendary strong man Clitor appeared, and at the same time, the black man on the old magician's neck appeared. The sword was firmly held in Crito's hand. With just a slight push forward, it could pierce the spy's neck or even cut off his head.
Given the sharpness of this high-level magic weapon, the latter may be more likely.
"I'm not a spy." The old magician did not look down on Crito because of his young appearance. Instead, he hurriedly explained, "I'm just curious about that woman..."
"Abduction and trafficking of women and children will result in ten years' imprisonment if the attempt is successful, and the death penalty if the attempt is successful. Repeat offenders will have their souls drawn out for further punishment." Klitto said expressionlessly.
"I didn't intend to kidnap her!" the old magician hurriedly shouted, "I just wanted to get a little divinity from her..."
Crito was stunned for a moment, looking at the old magician with increasingly unfriendly eyes.
"Murder," he said.
"No! You really made a mistake!" the old magician shouted anxiously.
"Don't be so loud. It's useless to tell me yes or no. You can save some energy to tell the judge." Crito said coldly, "By the way, let me tell you that the woman you are secretly planning is her husband. He is one of the legal advisors of Void City, and he usually works as a lawyer. I hope you will not be so unlucky to meet him in court."
"If you are really so unlucky, you will definitely be severely sentenced. Even though that guy Cambroner looks tall, he actually has a very small mind..."
