There are quite a lot of introductory materials about the dwarves in the library. They are a very famous profession, and Zhang Mu is no stranger to dwarves.
The mainland has produced many legendary dwarves. They are not only powerful, but also outstanding legendary blacksmiths. They have left powerful weapons to the mainland that have been passed down for thousands of years. The dwarves have left a strong mark on the history of the continent more than once, although the dwarves do not like to contact the outside world.
"The value of the Emerald Token is extremely high. Now is not the time to use it. You should keep it first and use it when the time comes!" Xue Ling returned the Emerald Token to Zhang Mu and said thoughtfully: "I didn't expect that Zanla would He died here, and the Glacier Sword was lost... Now that the Ice King has become an undead sacrifice, the Despair Icefield will inevitably fall into a huge turmoil. The wilderness will be extremely dangerous during this period, so humans should not go out easily!"
Xue Ling looked at the Glacier Sword for a few times and finally gave it back to Zhang Mu.
The goblins landed the spaceship at the center of the Snow Alliance's sphere of influence. Zhang Mu sent people to spread the news and sent five or six hundred more goblins from the Dawn Plains. Within one month, the entire spacecraft will be explored inside and out, and the structure and functions of the spacecraft will be fully understood, so that it can be put into use as soon as possible.
Everyone returned to Shuguang Village. Although the harvest was a little less than expected, there were no human casualties, so it was not satisfactory. With a large amount of gold coins invested, the mercenary union will have a very prosperous life in the next one or two months.
Zhang Mu found the search corps chief's armband among Zanla's trophies. This was a huge feat. First, he extended the right to use the factories, airports, warehouses, and stations in Ice and Snow Town for one month. As for the remaining parts, Zhang Mu exchanged his position in the Snow League. , was promoted to the captain of the Ice and Snow Town garrison squadron.
Not just a title, but one with real power.
Previously, Snow Clan warriors could not directly station in Shuguang Village. When Zhang Mu obtained the position of squadron leader, he was qualified to command a 500-man Snow Clan army. At the same time, he stationed the army in Shuguang Village, allowing the Snow Clan's power to protect the human race. The security of the village.
In the blink of an eye, five days passed.
Several camps arrived at the Icefield of Despair, and one or two of them joined Ice and Snow Town. Several villages near Shuguang Village also began to have people, and the number of mercenaries visiting each camp increased. It's just that compared to the three major forces that first arrived in the ice field, these new forces are obviously much weaker.
Although different forces have their own masters and talents, in terms of strength and quantity, the three villages combined are almost as strong as one Dawn Village, one Shuguang Village or Shouwang Village, which is at least as strong as two or three Dawn Villages, so The difference in strength between the various human villages is very obvious.
As the population increases, hunting becomes more difficult!
The powerful potential of the human race has been limited by the environment, which has slowed down the growth rate. Since the end of the treasure hunt, the atmosphere on the ice sheet has become weird. Glacier City did not become furious and make crazy moves as imagined, but fell into silence.
This silence frightened the Snow League.
The frost troll suffered a huge setback and could not react at all. This is a kind of calm before the storm. The silence at this moment is brewing a more terrifying outbreak. The Snow Alliance does not dare to neglect, and is ready for war at any time.
Two days of superficial calm have passed.
On this day, Zhang Mu was eating and drinking with everyone in the tavern. Because he couldn't find prey nearby and there were trolls in the distance, it was very dangerous. Zhang Mu was too lazy to go out and spent most of the day in the tavern. , study cooking or visit the library. These days, my strength has not improved much, but my magic cooking has improved a lot.
"I have invented a new dish, please try it! Its name is: Mercenary's Treasure!"
Zhang Mu brought a large plate with a diameter of one meter to the table.
Du Rongrong snorted, "What a bad name this is. You must have gone crazy digging for treasures out of wood!"
Chen Tingting prepared her napkin and knife, and said along the saliva: "Don't worry about it, open it quickly, let us broaden our horizons and feast our mouths, this is the real deal!"
Zhang Mu opened the huge silver lid, and a strong and strange smell of meat immediately filled the air. This is a huge plate of meat. The originally snow-white meat is cut into pieces or strips, and some are poured with golden soup. The golden light shines like gold, reflecting each other, like a stack of gold and silver bricks. The hill is dotted with a large number of auxiliary ingredients, like agate and diamonds.
"Bright and beautiful, majestic!" Leng Yun showed a moving smile and said softly: "As expected of the [Mercenary's Treasure], this is a delicacy made mainly of snow crocodile meat!"
"Yes, it's snow crocodile meat!"
The fat man put a piece of golden meat into his mouth with a knife. Zhang Mu's cooking skills were getting better and better. Snow crocodile is a kind of lord monster. Its meat is rich in nutrients, but it is quite tough. Snow crocodile meat made by ordinary chefs is like rubber. , no matter how hard you chew, you can’t chew it off. Zhang Mu's cooking skills have reached an advanced level. Magical energy penetrates into every strand of meat, cutting muscle fibers evenly, retaining the taste, making it more delicious, and you won't worry about chewing it thoroughly.
"well!"
The mercenaries at the front table were also tasting [Mercenary’s Treasure], and everyone cheered.
Dong Zhan of the Dragon Soul Mercenary called out: "I think the president's cooking skills are not far from expert level!"
“It’s so delicious!”
"It's such a blessing to be able to hang out with the mercenary union!"
"Recently, some guys from neighboring villages want to join the mercenary union!"
The Dragon Soul mercenaries talked a lot and praised him repeatedly. They completely forgot that a few months ago, Dragon Soul and Huangquan were incompatible with each other.
"Which family's turn is it to treat today?"
"Looks like we have a romantic relationship!"
"Xiaoguo, after you finish eating, you can deposit the money for the ingredients into the union treasury!"
"OK!"
Liu Shuiyan, Chen Xiaoguo, Wang Ling, Sun Lin and a group of female mercenaries also ate with gusto.
Zhang Mu is the president of the mercenary association, but he has never put on airs. He even cooks the mercenary meals himself. Not only the top leaders of the mercenary union, but also some ordinary mercenaries have the opportunity to eat.
Food is sometimes a weapon that can win people's hearts.
What the chef said is true.
Magical cooking brings benefits that are far higher than imagined.
While Zhang Mu was eating and drinking, a mercenary came over and said, "Captain Xueling has come to the village and wants to see you for something!"
Zhang Mu left the tavern. Xue Ling was wearing a hood, with a slender figure, standing among the falling snowflakes, like a painting.
"Is there a problem?"
"Get ready and go to the Emerald Mountains tomorrow!"
Zhang Mu couldn't help being surprised when he heard this: "So urgent? Is there no problem in Glacier City?"
Xue Ling said: "There will be no problem now. It will be difficult to tell after a while. We got 2 pieces of information. First, the Ice King, no... The Undead King collected a large number of corpses on the battlefield and was using a strange thing to kill them. All the corpses are resurrected into undead, and another terrifying force will appear on the ice sheet, full of unknowns. Secondly, Vaughn used self-sealing to heal his wounds. Back then, the Snow King almost recovered after he was seriously injured. Once Vaughn comes out of seclusion, Glacier City must There’s a big move.”
Zhang Mu nodded heavily: "The ice field will soon be peaceful!"
"That's why we have to hurry up. There are a lot of rare monsters and materials in the Emerald Mountains. Our strength will be greatly improved in a short time. We have a mission to find the dwarves living in the Emerald Mountains and ask them to help unblock the glacier. sword!"
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away!" Zhang Mu asked again, "How many people can you bring at most?"
"The travel fee is 10,000 per person." Xue Ling glanced at him and said, "As long as you can afford it, there is no limit to the number!"
Travel is ridiculously expensive.
It’s true that the mercenary union just made a fortune, but it can’t afford too much.
Zhang Mu told everyone about the situation. According to the actual situation, each group will be given a few places. The round-trip travel fee will cost 20,000 gold coins, of which 10,000 gold coins will be paid by yourself. You can use cash or mercenary points. The other 10,000 will be reimbursed by the union treasury and mercenary warehouse with 5,000 gold coins each.
In the end, more than thirty or forty mercenaries were selected.
The next day we came to Ice and Snow Town.
The Snow Clan was ready, which surprised Zhang Mu. Barbarians and giant spirits also came, bringing with them the backbone of the Chinese Alliance and Dawn Palace. This was a rare opportunity for training that no one wanted to miss easily.
Long Hao nodded to Zhang Mu: "We meet again, and thanks to the mercenary union, we will have another interesting adventure."
Hundreds of people walked into the airport.
Zhang Mu handed over the jade order and embedded it into the platform at the boarding gate. Everyone walked into the boarding cabin and was transferred to the spacecraft. Ten minutes later, the black mysterious spaceship started, slowly rose into the sky, turned into a stream of light, and disappeared into the sky.
The mercenary sat in the cabin. It had only been about an hour. The thick clouds outside had disappeared. The black spacecraft drove into a new area. Looking down from a high altitude, the earth revealed a deep and bright green.
The terrain is undulating and has many mountainous environments.
The towering trees can easily grow up to a thousand meters, which is breathtaking.
Although it is quite close to the Ice Field of Despair, compared to the ice field where life is extinct, this place is simply a paradise for life!
The black spacecraft began to slow down and finally landed at a forest airport. This was a public airport and was not occupied by any race.
"We don't have much time, so we plan to stay for two weeks!" Xue Ling said as she left the spacecraft. "In order to increase the efficiency of training, we will split up. This operation has an important mission, to find the whereabouts of the dwarves." After saying that, Xue Ling gave the three The leader of the human race forces each sent out several sound transmission scrolls, "These are special sound transmission scrolls that can be used to transmit sounds from foreign races. If you have any information, please notify us immediately."
Different races cannot form teams, and it is difficult to share experience. It is unrealistic for the Snow Alliance to lead humans to upgrade.
The human race must experience itself.
Everyone walked out of the terminal, and there was a lush green outside. The temperature was about 20 degrees, the air was slightly humid, and it was comfortable and pleasant. After being stranded in the ice field for nearly a month, and suddenly coming to the emerald mountains, it felt like entering paradise.
No blizzard.
No hail.
No extreme cold.
…
The wind is gentle and the sun is shining, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. Everything presents a prosperous scene, which makes people feel comfortable from the bottom of their hearts.
Lin Caiyan took a deep breath: "I like it here!"
"Don't be careless, this is a more advanced area than the Ice Field of Despair!"
