"Little handsome guy, did you know there was an avalanche on Mount Nice in the north of the city?"

Xi Wei shook his head, he didn't have any interest in this matter, as long as the person buried by the avalanche wasn't him, what did it have to do with them

Namie felt depressed, how could this child have no curiosity at all!

But she still didn't give up, and started to lobby Xi Wei, "Little handsome guy, the important thing is not the avalanche, but the legend that there is a huge treasure on Mount Nice. This time the avalanche exposed the treasure. If anyone gets it, it will rise to the top. , even if we can only get a little bit, we don't have to work hard as a mercenary all the time, right?"

This may seem tempting at first, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that there are many loopholes. First of all, if someone finds a treasure, who would foolishly announce it to the world? Second, even if Nami wants to find someone to cooperate with, why do you care about it? What about Xi Wei, who has no martial arts

But most importantly, all treasures should belong to the protagonist, you fish-lipped humans.

Kino quietly rolled his eyes, underestimating the prudence of his protagonist.

Since there was no treasure in Mount Tinis at all in the early days of "The Curse", this treasure is probably fake.

Even if it wasn't fake, Xi Wei, who was not adventurous at all, would not go. Sure enough, Xi Wei said dryly, "Mission."

Nami's eyes wandered, and she had an idea in an instant, "It's been snowing heavily recently, and there are no new tasks to be released, so let's do it, I'll release a task, whether you can accept it or not."

Xi Wei and Kino looked at her expressionlessly with their somewhat similar faces. If the hook was too straight, a fool would be hooked!

But there is such a fool in the world.

Xi Wei only thought about it for half a second before nodding.

Nami was surprised for a while. For some reason, she seemed to have found a way to deal with Xi Wei.

However, she still held back, and then coughed, "That's right, I and the Wind Wolf Mercenary Group received a mission from a certain employer. The mission content is to explore the treasures of Mount Nice. The climate of the snowy mountain is complicated, so I have to bring a lot of spare items. It is expected to fill three full magic boxes, ordinary people can't hold them, I know you are very strong, little handsome guy, and your task is to take care of the magic boxes during our expedition."

After saying this with a crackle, Nami felt a little thirsty, so she poured a glass of water to moisten her throat.

"Wind Wolf Mercenary Group?"

Nami nodded, "It's the Wind Wolf mercenary group that Charles is in. Although Charles is second-hand, they are Ye Sacheng's veritable first mercenary group, so don't worry about their strength."

Xi Wei asked, "When?"

Nami found a stool and sat down, her slender legs crossed, and said leisurely, "Let's start tomorrow, wait at the foot of the mountain, and go up the mountain as soon as the snow stops."

Xi Wei nodded, it seemed that he couldn't get food at the mercenary union today.

Chino opened his mouth and wondered if he should stop. According to the law of the novel, the treasure linked to the protagonist is the protagonist's golden finger. No matter how it looks like a passerby at first, the treasure will eventually fall into the hands of the protagonist due to various force majeure. , usually we call it the protagonist halo.

But he is very contradictory. This treasure is not mentioned in the book. I don't know if it is a hidden plot or a trap.

After Nami drank a glass of water, she got up and went to the counter. After a while, she came out, holding a pair of soft armor in her arms and handing it to Xi Wei, "This is one of the props leased by the employer, every member has it, it can resist The cold of the snow-capped mountains."

Xi Wei took it without objection.

I went back very early today. I almost only stayed in the mercenary union for a while before leaving. Because the union was very sluggish, there were only two or three kittens left, and there was absolutely no bustle and hustle and bustle as usual. About all of them went to inquire about treasures. thing.

Chino was lying on Xi Wei's back, and his warm breath brushed evenly across Xi Wei's neck.

Kino thought and thought, but still couldn't hold back, "Papa, where are you going?"

If Xi Wei went to the snow-capped mountains, it would be impossible to bring Chino with him. The weather in the snow-capped mountains was harsh and the environment changed greatly. Bringing Chino would be a burden, and it was very unwise.

Xi Wei said coldly, "Nice Snow Mountain."

Chino hesitated for a moment, but decided to put on ignorance to the end, trying to stop Xi Wei from taking the risk, "Papa don't want me anymore?"

Xi Wei paused for a moment before replying in a dispassionate tone, "I'll be back soon."

Chino put his arms around his protagonist's neck, and once again fell into a contradiction. On the one hand, it was an opportunity, and on the other hand, it was a danger. Should he believe in the aura of the protagonist written by the newspaper's innocence

In such a contradiction, the aroma of barbecue came, and the two children reflexively swallowed.

Just this taste compares the level of Drunk Bob's barbecue to the dust.

Looking in the direction from which the smell came, the expressions of the two of them both changed. The little broken boat they had lived in for many years was emitting wisps of gray smoke, and the smell of barbecue came from there.

Ten thousand grass and mud horses ran through Kino's mind, what the hell is this deep well ice-barbecuing meat in a wooden cabin!

Xi Wei quickened his pace and rushed into the cabin like an enclave.

Hill held a fan in his hand and fanned the wind leisurely towards the stove in front of him. A few skewers of meat were on the stove, turning over from time to time. The smoke flew out through the holes in the cabin roof, acting as a natural The range hood, the stove occasionally splashed some sparks, and Chino looked terrified.

Seeing them coming back, Hill, who was not conscious at all, greeted with a smile, "Didn't you go to work? Why did you come back so early, the meat hasn't been cooked yet."

Xi Wei turned around with a cold face, poured a basin of water from the river in, and fell on the stove with a "crash" sound.

"Ai? Wait!" With the sound of Hill's stop, the water splashed onto a transparent light curtain, and the fire in the stove was still burning, and it was not extinguished at all.

Hill breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately it's waterproof."

Chino is embarrassed, but it seems that their "home" is no longer in danger of burning.

But seeing Hill made Chino's eyes light up, yes, why didn't he expect that Hill doesn't look like an ordinary person, if he can protect Xi Wei, then there must be no problem!

So Kino's eyes became eager.

Hill refrained from laughing and said understandingly, "Why, are you also going to the snowy mountains to hunt for treasure?"

Xi Wei was not surprised by this stranger's prophetic ability, neither affirming nor denying it.

Hill added a fire, "Young man, you can't take this little guy with you on a treasure hunt. Well, in order to thank you for taking me as a refuge, I can take care of this little guy while you are out."

Xi Wei was silent, and finally shook his head.

Hill seemed to have some regrets, but he was also curious about who else Xiwei could entrust the little guy to.

Kino was also curious, Xiao Wu had left Ye Sacheng, who else could the protagonist look for

The barbecue was cooked quickly, and the entire cabin was full of tempting aromas. Hill took two bunches and handed them to Chino, "This is the accommodation fee, I have neither touched nor bitten it."

Kino only felt that his salivary glands were overworked, and knowing Hill's identity, he was not polite this time, took it over, raised his face and raised one of them to Xi Wei's lips, "Bah, eat meat. "

Xi Wei didn't refuse. Since it was the accommodation fee, he didn't need to worry about being owed him.

The amount of barbecued meat was very large, and the seasoning like cumin was sprinkled on it, and the fragrance was tempting. Xiwei took out all his possessions - five copper coins and pushed them in front of Hill. Shiwei is very clear about roasting meat on the ground.

Hill thought of what Kino said last night. He only had one copper coin but gave me one. He was in a mixed mood for a while. He didn't know whether to lament Evelyn's good luck or lament that Kino's eyes were vicious.

After dinner, Xi Wei packed up the Chino troupe and went out again, this time to Louvre Street.

Standing in front of the familiar and no longer familiar door No. 72, Xi Wei knocked on the door, Kino suddenly realized that he wanted to ask Xia An.

But the door that always opens in the end, although slow, didn't move today. Xi Wei stood in the snow for a long time, but the door never opened.

It wasn't until evening that Xi Wei dragged his frozen body and Kino whose face turned pale.

That night, Kino could feel that Xi Wei slept very unsteadily, and his brows were always slightly wrinkled.

Time flies by against one's will, as if the day dawned as soon as one's eyes were closed.

Hill still did not obey the law of the masters and left quietly in the dark. He didn't know what he wanted to do, and he followed them to the mercenary union openly. Xi Wei thought he didn't exist, and he had no ability to drive him away anyway.

The mercenary union was very lively today. Nami and the Wind Wolf Mercenary Group arrived. When Xi Wei came, Nami was surprised, "Little handsome guy, you won't take this little guy to the snowy mountains, will you?"

Xi Wei lowered his head and said, "Can the union take care of him for two days?"

Nami was a little embarrassed, "What about the little mother, I'm afraid no one in the union will take care of the child."

This time things seem to be troublesome.

The hall was full of people and looked messy, Nami thought for a while, "How about I take you to see the employer first and see what the employer has to say."

The employer was at the counter with his hands behind his back, wearing a black robe and short blond hair. Hearing Nami's introduction, he turned around, his eyes were confused and empty, but a sinister smile appeared on his face, "Xi Wei is huh? We meet again."
