Regarding the matter of revisiting the North Pole, Hao Ren has long had this idea—although the civil strife of the demon hunters has ended, and the most important "goddess relics" in Corpus have been sampled and analyzed by the data terminal, but He was still a little too hasty when he left. At that time, the situation of the demon hunter was initially settled, but there was something wrong with the aliens. Hao Ren hurriedly left that place before he could further explore Corpus. thing.
Now it is just right to take advantage of this Zhao Xi incident, go back and ask Bai Huo and Hasu to cooperate in the investigation.
Hao Ren's proposal was supported by Vivienne and Lily—the former thought it was necessary for her to go to the North Pole out of a sense of responsibility, and the latter thought it was her husky blood that encouraged her to go to the North Pole. Then Hao Ren looked at the other people in the living room: "Who else wants to follow?"
Elizabeth held a small screwdriver and hurriedly ran past Hao Ren: "Uncle Ren, I won't go! I have to stay at home and fix things..."
Zhao Xi’s eruption last night burned all the electrical circuits in the house, and burned down several household appliances by the way. Elizabeth was busy repairing things when she woke up. At this time, she has been working happily for two hours: Little girl It’s no longer the brat who disassembled and broken things back then. Should it be said that she is the princess of the empire under the education of the demon empire Qingying? This girl’s strong learning ability is due to the accumulated experience in dismantling and dismantling over the past year. She has done a lot of research on modern human electrical appliances, and now she is a professional electrician in Hao Ren's family. Basically, she is responsible for repairing everything that breaks.
"I'm not going either," Yizaks sauntered over with a flower pot in his hand, "Old Li's house across the street is out, and I'm taking care of the two pots of flowers. It's not easy for me to get along with the neighbors." , we have to get things done."
Hao Ren looked up at Nangong's family of four again, but Nangong Wudi waved his hand directly: "Our family will stay and take care of the restaurant, so we won't join in the fun. I was removed from the Demon Hunter Group a hundred years ago. Go back a few more times It doesn't make any sense."
So after asking around like this, the rest of the family had their own business to do. In the end, "Roll" eagerly wanted to join in the fun, and brought along a Doudou who was jumping around and wanted to go out with Dad. Hao Ren thought for a while, and felt that he always left these two at home for various reasons when he usually went out to run errands. Thinking about it, he really neglected them. There is no danger in going to Corpus this time, but he can take them with him. These two should go to relax.
Of course considering that Corpus is located in the freezing arctic region. If you bring Doudou with you, you should keep warm—the little one, as a demon hunter with super vitality, will not be damaged by low temperature, but her "racial talent" of hibernating as soon as the temperature drops cannot be changed.
"You're responsible for taking care of Doudou, and I'll take you there," Hao Ren slid "Gun" aside and confessed, "As long as she's happy, you'll have dried fish and canned cats to eat."
"Roll" tilted his head to think for a while, and successfully equated Doudou with his lifelong happiness in his mind, so he immediately hugged the little mermaid with an expression of swearing to protect him—as a cat. There is no one who can get along with her.
So in the end it was Lily and Vivian who went out with Hao Ren, plus Doudou and "roll" in soy sauce: it happened to be a cat dog fish and a bat. It's like moving to a zoo...
When I left last time, the data terminal had already left space coordinates near the ice fortress. At the same time, Hao Ren also left his own special contact channel with the Demon Hunter's New Council, so they sent a message to Ice Fortress when they set off. Then the data terminal directly started the space transmission, sending the group to the gate of the ancient castle standing on the Arctic ice cap.
Directly teleported from the warm and comfortable home to the freezing Arctic ice sheet, "Roll" immediately sneezed loudly a few times: Even as a cat demon, she can still feel this level of temperature change. But soon the stupid cat's attention was attracted by the majestic walls of the Ice Fortress. She looked up at the huge wall of ice blocks that couldn't see the top, and watched the towering walls disappear into the depths of the dark night sky. As a cat, she began to instinctively calculate the difficulty of climbing this city wall, and was immediately hit hard: "Meow... this one can't be climbed at all!"
Doudou got his head out of the "rolling" collar. The little mermaid giggled happily under the cold wind, and wriggled restlessly: "Big house! Big house!"
"Don't move around." Roll carefully fixed the clothes around his collar to prevent the cold wind from pouring in. "If you move around, I won't have any dried fish to eat!"
"By the way, why do you insist on letting a cat take care of your fish girl?" Vivian gave Hao Ren a curious look, "Is it because of your bad taste?"
Hao Ren chuckled, "Because a cat's body temperature is higher than that of a human's, and it's much warmer than me on Rolling. This is the North Pole, and Doudou prefers to be with Rolling."
Vivienne thought for a while, and turned pale with shock: "How do you know that rolling on your body is warm!?"
Hao Ren covered his forehead: "Where did I go? Anyone who raises cats knows this!"
Vivian turned her head away in a little embarrassment: "Oh... mainly because the voice of the big dog last time really impressed me..."
Hao Ren: "..."
While Hao Ren and Vivian were chatting, there was a creaking sound from the depths of the thousand-year-old ice gate of the Ice Fortress. Driven by powerful magic power, the heavy ice slowly rose, and a small team Witcher warriors dressed in black lined up from the gate to greet visitors.
"Back then I had a fierce fight with the demon hunters, but now I come here and they have to line up to greet me," Vivian murmured softly, "If I had known it was a family, what would I fight back then... I'm poor Half of the credit for these years is due to these grandsons making trouble."
Lily also muttered softly: "What's the point of always mentioning back then, you killed me once in your previous life, what did I say?"
While talking, the small team of demon hunters had already arrived in front of Hao Ren, and the team leader was an acquaintance: Claude, the former No. 1 Saint Servant, Chief Herald of the Saints.
After Claude came to Hao Ren and his party, he immediately saluted and greeted warmly: "I'm so glad to see you again so soon. The elders have received the news and ordered me to receive you."
Lily took two steps forward with her chest out, her tail flicking back and forth, pretending to be a wolf with a big tail (although her tail is really big): "Yeah, your emperor's inspection work is here!"
Hao Ren coughed twice: "Ahem, did you say that about yourself?"
Lily's ears trembled: "Then the first emperor?"
Hao Ren: "..."
Claude: "..."
"Just ignore the two of them," Vivienne pinched her forehead helplessly, and waved to Claude, "Lead the way ahead, let's talk as we walk."
Compared with the last visit, the Ice Fortress is much more lively at the moment. On the stacked walls and stepped walkways full of military fortress style, black-clothed witcher warriors can be seen walking around everywhere, and people can listen to it everywhere in the fortress. To the shouts of soldiers in training and the sound of weapons colliding. Vivienne said casually: "After a big battle, this place is more lively than before."
Claude explained the recent situation: "When you came last time, the Holy Land was fighting. Almost all fighters were fighting in the Corpus space. Only one-third of the defenders were stationed in the Ice Fortress. The Alpers space is being rebuilt, and many places are temporarily uninhabitable, so the surviving Presbyterian Order and some ordinary soldiers can only be transferred to the Ice Fortress, which seems to be crowded instead."
After Hao Ren heard it, he murmured softly, "... Most of the people have come out of Corpus for the time being. That's a good thing."
"What?" Claude didn't hear clearly.
"It's nothing," Hao Ren waved his hand, "So you don't have to guard the clock tower in the spirit world now? I remember Bai Huo said that a 'first attendant' like you will swear an oath not to leave Corpus for life. Bar."
"The saint group is gone, and of course the sequence of attendants will be disbanded," Claude spread his hands, "Now the demon hunters are led by the Council of Elders, and we, the original attendants, have been disbanded and reorganized into the elders. I joined the Council of the Elders, and I am now its clerk—I have the knowledge of a dozen generations of squires in my head, and this knowledge is now coming in handy."
Lily immediately interjected excitedly: "Hey, I also have ancient knowledge in my mind!"
However, no one took care of her.
"We're looking for your top person in charge." After a few simple greetings, Hao Ren got straight to the point, "Going to Gregorwen and Hasselblad, we have something important to discuss." (To be continued~^~)
