"Kordak, hurry up, we can reach Snow Rock City in another hour." Vera turned around and waved excitedly. She was wearing a red coat and fiery red hair. The pure white snowfield looks beautiful and eye-catching.
"It's quite simple. You put on two backpacks and let me take a look!" Kordak complained with a frown. Unlike Vera who wrapped herself thickly and warmly, he was wearing a few leather armors. The buckle had been loosened, vaguely revealing most of his strong chest, and his arms had no clothing to keep them warm, and were completely exposed to the cold wind of more than ten degrees below zero.
Although the human body will be greatly strengthened by the tempering of Dou Qi and has good resistance to high temperatures and cold, low temperatures will still cause a large loss of energy, so appropriate measures to keep warm are still necessary.
The reason why Kordak looks like this is entirely because of the heat. Walking in the snowy area with two huge backpacks on his back is an out-and-out physical effort, so in this ice and snow, Kordak There was a feeling of sweating profusely. According to Regner, the boss had sweated more than he peed in the past few days.
"Okay, okay, I know you're tired, so I'll carry it." Vera felt a little sorry when she saw Kordak, who was sweating profusely, and took the initiative to take her backpack. But having more than 100 kilograms of weight on my body does not feel very good.
"Anne is the most comfortable." Vera looked at the space pocket on Annelotte's waist with some envy.
The space pocket is a kind of space magic equipment that can hold a lot of items without changing its weight and volume at all.
Annelotte's space pocket does not have a large carrying capacity, only about two cubic meters, but even the lowest level space pocket with the smallest carrying capacity costs three thousand gold coins in the store. People like them live with gold coins. In the eyes of the mercenaries, it is a luxury item that they cannot afford anyway.
"Hey, don't be envious. If Annelotte hadn't helped us share some of the load, we would have carried more things." Kordak was shocked and quickly changed the subject because he saw Vera looking at the space pocket. The look in her eyes has changed, it is the look that only appears when she is facing the product.
"Huhu, that's good. The burden is all shared by you two. Why should I carry all my things by myself?" Regner's attire was as cool as Kordak's. Because of his thin body, his backpack was almost higher than his head. The huge backpack and his thin body felt incongruous.
"Hehe, you have to ask yourself this." Kordak patted Regnar's shoulder with a lewd expression and whispered, "I never thought you were so brave. How dare you take a bath with these two women?" Peep, you are almost becoming my boss!"
"I reiterate that I didn't peek. I really just went out for a round of reconnaissance. When I came back, I felt thirsty and ran to the lake to take a drink of water. Who would have thought that they were taking a bath there and didn't notify me? "Regna retorted with a serious face.
He was telling the truth, but now that he thought about it, Annelotte's smooth and jade-like back still felt like blood was racing. If there hadn't been Vera's scream that followed, then he believed that it would have been There were few perfect images in his memory.
"Hey, it doesn't matter whether Vera and I believe it or not. The key is whether Annelotte believes it or not. Anyway, she has thrown out all your luggage since then." Kordak said meaningfully.
Regnar secretly glanced at Annelotte who was walking in front. Annelotte was wearing a pure white cotton robe, with short ice-blue hair and an exquisite face. She had an unearthly elegance. But life. Annelotte's face had a touch of pink at this time, and she didn't know whether it was because of the low temperature or because she heard the conversation between two men.
"Why, if you can, just tell Annelotte and ask her to get some for you." Kordak said with a half-smile.
"She... her place is almost full. I can carry it by myself without help from others." Regnar said hesitantly.
Ever since that time, Annelotte had always been indifferent to Regnar. Regnar approached him several times to admit his mistake and improve the relationship, but Annelotte pushed her back hard. So he didn't dare to ask for trouble anymore, but even though he felt that he was in the wrong, he still showed his courtesy to Annelotte whenever he had the opportunity, which made Kordak and Vera look down their noses.
…
An hour later, Kordak and others had arrived at Snow Rock City, which is the southernmost city of humans in the Eastern Continent.
It is said that Snow Rock City was only a small town in the eastern continent a hundred years ago, but its proximity to the frozen snow mountains attracted many adventurers to use it as a transit stop. Over time, the originally inconspicuous small town became one of the nine largest cities in the human world.
Since he was away from home, Kordak didn't want to go through too much trouble. He just wanted to rent four beds in the hotel lobby for a few nights.
But Vera said she didn't want to live with a group of smelly men, so she kept yelling. Although Annelotte didn't say much, she could tell with her buttocks that such a pretty girl mage would not be willing to live with a group of brutal and rude warriors.
Uncharacteristically, Regnar did not side with Kordak and also insisted on staying in the superior guest room.
In the end, Kordak could only choose to compromise and lead everyone to find the guest room. But winter has always been the busiest season in Snow Rock City. Finding four guest rooms is no less difficult than finding a snow rabbit in the snow from a distance of 500 meters.
In the end, the four of them only found three rooms in a rather expensive hotel.
"My big feet are already hungry and thirsty!" Kordak said with a fierce look in his eyes and a hint of ferocity in the corner of his mouth.
"Boss, if you don't wash your feet tonight, I would rather sleep in the corridor!" Regnar's tone was a bit tragic, but extremely determined.
"Humph, then you can sleep." Kordak did not hesitate. Without Regner's support, Kordak would not have to pay the extra ten gold coins for accommodation, so now in his eyes, this kid It seems extremely hateful, and naturally he will not "show mercy".
"Okay, okay, this place is nice, we will stay here. Don't be afraid, Xiao Lei. If Kordak can't accommodate you, you can come and sleep at my sister's place." Vera extended an olive branch in time.
"Okay, no problem, I definitely won't go to the boss's place!" Regnar chose to betray without hesitation. With Vera's smooth and delicate white legs to hug, who would be willing to smell Kordak's stinky feet
"What a beautiful idea you have! Just live with me!" Kordak dragged Regna back to his room without any explanation.
…
"Then we leave the day after tomorrow?" Vera cut off a small piece of rabbit meat and chewed it carefully. Roasted snow rabbit is the signature dish of this hotel, but the price of two gold coins each made Kordak feel that Vera What you are chewing is your own flesh.
"The day after tomorrow. Let's buy some necessities tomorrow and wait until everything is ready before setting off. After all, this time we have to go deep into the frozen snow-capped mountains. The more prepared we are, the better." Kordak said as he took it from Regnar's hand. Eat a rabbit leg.
"Good evening, everyone, my young master wants to talk to you about something. I wonder if you could come over for a while?" A man with a beard suddenly came over and said, and he pointed to the center of the hall.
Kordak looked along the man's direction and saw a handsome young man about twenty years old wearing a luxurious robe sitting at the table and looking here. When Vera noticed him, the man smiled what he thought was charming.
"I'm very sorry, we are not interested." Kordak refused coldly.
He has encountered this kind of thing before. Although Vera's appearance is only average, her long red hair and powerful figure can easily arouse a man's desire. According to their experience, 90% of the guys who came to chat with her in the tavern were attracted by Vera and wanted to take advantage of her. For this reason, the duo of him and Silenos once
Got into a lot of fights with others in the pub.
"Our young master is the son of the president of the Deville Chamber of Commerce. Please show your respect." The man frowned and continued.
"I don't know about the Deville Chamber of Commerce. We have to continue having dinner now. Please don't disturb us again." Kordak's face darkened. He felt that another fight was inevitable tonight.
"Don't be ignorant." The man lowered his voice and began to exude a surprising aura.
Intermediate warrior! Kordak felt a chill in his heart. The aura exuding from the man was even stronger than him.
Kordak didn't expect the guy to be so difficult this time, but that didn't mean he would back down. Although Vera had never officially admitted anything to Kordak, he had regarded her as his woman a few years ago, and no man would be timid at this time. So Kordak snorted and said, "Get out of here!"
"So are you really going to be shameless?" The man narrowed his eyes slightly, and his slowly rising fighting spirit blew his hair up slightly.
"What's the matter, Cook? Don't these friends want to show their respect?" The young man had arrived here at some point.
Cook quickly dissipated his fighting spirit, bowed slightly and said, "Master Deville, not only did they reject your request, but they also spoke rudely to the Deville Chamber of Commerce."
"So you all look down on our Deville Chamber of Commerce?" Deville frowned somewhat displeased. He was just attracted by Vera's temperament and wanted to invite them over for a drink. Unexpectedly, these mercenaries would not appreciate it. That's all, he actually said something rude.
"We don't need to know what the Deville Chamber of Commerce is." Annelotte's cold voice sounded.
Kordak's four-person table was already against the wall, and it was difficult for the dim candlelight to illuminate every corner of the hall, so neither Cook nor Deville paid much attention to the girl sitting in the darkest corner. Now they were listening to her talk. , the two of them turned their attention to her.
When Deville moved his gaze to Annelotte, his eyes suddenly lit up. Just when he was about to say something, Annelotte's eyes flashed coldly: "Please leave, we have nothing to talk about."
Deville's face paled for a moment, but he quickly calmed down, smiled reluctantly at Annelotte and said, "In this case, it's us who disturbed you. Sorry, Cook, let's go."
After leaving, Cook asked with some confusion: "Master, why are you leaving now?"
"That blue-haired girl is not easy to mess with. We still have things to do, so it's better not to get into trouble." Deville shook his head.
Cook was a little surprised. Deville himself was a level 12 mage. Could it be that that girl was more terrifying than the young master
But he has no doubts about De Vere's words. This young man is the most dazzling genius in the family. Not only does he have the magic talent recognized by Snow Rock City, he is also smart and decisive. If he removes his arrogance, lust and other shortcomings, he is almost a perfect person.
Cook has followed Deville for so many years. Since the young master has made such a decision, he must have his reasons. So when Deville said to leave, he just followed and left without saying a word.
"Deville, heir to the Deville family, lustful, water magic genius, twelfth-level mage, member of the Secret Eyes, medium-sized chamber of commerce, middle-class family in Snow Rock City..." Annelotte stared at Deville's back, and a piece of information flashed in her mind. .
