Lord Chronicle

Chapter 70 Building a Bridge Overnight

The severe pain all over his body kept Sol awake at night, but it has to be said that the oil worked very well.The next morning, he put on the white bear leather jacket that had been changed into a smaller size, and even though it was snowing outside, he didn't feel a bit uncomfortable.

After bidding farewell to Jamura, Conte Baker took Sol to the first new city of the barbarians—Xueyuan City.They rode a kind of mount called a woolly beast. This kind of monster is huge, covered with thick long hair, and has wide feet, which is very suitable for trekking in the ice and snow.

Sol knew from Kante Baker that Snowfield City is located on the top of the dangerous Bedrako Ice Gorge, firmly guarding the center of the entire frozen plateau. Take shape.

With this city, the barbarian tribes will change their situation of fighting on their own. No matter any foreign enemies invade the frozen plateau, they will first face the blocking of this city.

In the end, Conte Baker still did not forget to thank Saul: "It all depends on your advice."

How about saying that the savages are so simple, and Sol’s casual suggestion made them so grateful. This is probably the most cost-effective thing he has done since he came to this world.Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that barbarians have always been bullied.

After two days of trekking, the two headed eastward and finally arrived at the legendary Xueyuan City.

On the top of a snow-capped mountain that never melts, a town stands tall.The deep and wide Bedrako Ice Gorge is located under the snow-capped mountains, forming the best barrier.Two natural ice bridges span the ice gorge, serving as temporary passages. At the moment, people are coming and going on the ice bridge, and it is very lively.

For the first city in their history, the barbarians can be said to spare no expense.The frozen plateau has been frozen for thousands of years. Under the thick snow is the permafrost that is as frozen as pig iron, and further down is the rock formation.They dug several feet into the ground, dug out rocks that had never seen the sun since the day they were formed, and transported them far away to build the city.

At the moment, there is a busy scene under the snow mountain, with hundreds of furry beasts roaring, dragging huge boulders to the top of the mountain.The strong savages carried all kinds of building materials on their backs, and even followed behind with a thick cedar that was hugged by several people. They were naked, and their strong muscles glowed in the sun to represent strength.

Sol was very moved when he saw it, and thanks to these barbarians, any other race would never have thought of making even a little thing on such an iceberg.

Looking up, the city on the top of the mountain is quite large, and the outer wall built of thick rocks is as high as a person, and it is still getting higher.From behind the wall, you can see many roofs made of logs. The ice that has been frozen for tens of thousands of years is light blue in the sun, which makes Xueyuan City like a miniature sculpture on a blue gem.

Sol's amazed expression made Contebeca very happy, and he said proudly: "After the city is built, I will bring Casey to live here and never leave again."

Sol nodded. Once this magnificent city is built, no, it only needs to build the outer wall, and I am afraid it will be an insurmountable fortress.With it, the days of orcs running freely in the frozen plateau will be gone forever.

Following Conte Baker up the mountain, Sol realized that he still underestimated the city.The snow mountain where Xueyuan City is located is extremely unique. The mountain is dangerous but the top is flat and wide. The total area may not be tens of square kilometers, which provides enough space for the future development of the city.

The snow-capped mountains are not barren of grass, but there are stretches of forests. There is also a huge ice lake in the center of the mountain top. The light blue lake is spotless and rich in aquatic products. It is an excellent source of food.Now even Sol couldn't help feeling that this snow-capped mountain was born just for city building.

Because it is still in the construction period, the city looks very messy, the snow on the ground has been trampled into black, there are construction sites everywhere, there are a lot of people, but it is full of the unique vitality of a new city.

At present, the city is only being built on the side facing the ice sheet, and the city wall only stretches for a few hundred meters. The real construction is far from being started.However, the current situation is very favorable to the barbarians. The half-orcs are busy with the civil war, and even if they know the existence of this city, they have no time to take care of it. By the time they recover, the city may have been completed.

Walking on the messy streets, Conte Baker said: "Because it's only been a month since the construction started, Xueyuan City is hardly known to outsiders, even many barbarian tribes living in remote places don't know its existence. Maybe you are The first outsider to set foot here."

While listening to his explanation, Sol glanced around.There are still relatively few houses in the city, and most people still set up tents. At this moment, it is like a big market. There are many temporary stalls outside the tents on both sides of the street, selling various frozen plateaus including magic cores and monster furs. specialty.

Saul couldn't help being very surprised: "The city hasn't been built yet, so how come you start selling things?"

Conte Baker explained: "Our tribes of barbarians have different productions due to their different regions. In the past, we often had to trek for a few days or even last month to reach other tribes for exchange. Now Snowfield City has become our It is a common exchange site, and it can also supply the needs of the workers who built the city, which is very convenient."

Sol secretly thought that this is the cohesion of the city.When a city appears, nearby people will spontaneously gather here. In the long run, it will be more conducive to its development if all tribes become dependent on Xueyuan City.Now that I have tasted the sweetness of the city, I don't need to remind myself in the future, these uncivilized barbarians should also know how to do it.

But soon he discovered that the goods here were seriously piled up.Often a tent is filled with furs and even monster cores, and the barbarians who set up the stalls are not in a hurry, sitting there leisurely waiting for people to come and exchange things, but Sol is so anxious that he has such a business of it?
After asking Conte Baker, he learned that due to the reason of diaspora, each tribe will not travel long distances to exchange unless there is a special need.The lack of exchange activities, coupled with the inability of their own tribe to consume so many things, resulted in a large backlog of specialties in the barbarian tribe.

"It seems that the original exchange method does have a lot of disadvantages." Sol thought to himself.Of course he knows what these barbarians need most now is trade!
And I seem to be the first outsider who knows the existence of this city; it just so happens that I am a lord; what's more coincidentally, I also own a caravan; what's more coincidentally, I have a good relationship with these barbarians; The front line of Germany also complained to him that the caravans are difficult to open up the situation on the old trade routes, and the profits are not high...

You must know that due to the historical closure, the special products of the frozen plateau have extremely high value in the interior of the mainland, such as the white bear skin, which is the clothes of ordinary people here, but in Dinar and Lulin, it is only owned by the upper class nobles scarce goods.Another example is the precious magic core of the snowy monster, which has always been a precious material for water and ice spells, and is very popular in the magic kingdom of Bamuk.

If he could control the trading rights of Dinar and the frozen plateau, or even obtain a franchise, Sol would be able to see how much profit there would be.When the time comes, won't the billowing gold coins flow into your pocket?
"Hee hee hee hee..." Thinking of this, Thor himself couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Master Saul, what's the matter with you?" Conte Baker was taken aback by his sudden strange smile.

Sol quickly gathered his mind: "Oh, it's nothing. I'm happy for you to see this great city." The horoscope has not been written yet, and now is not the time to get carried away.

Conte Baker didn't know what was going on in his heart, and he was very moved: "Master Saul is really a true friend of our barbarians."

"Where is Irrfan? I miss this old friend a little bit." Secretly thinking that if he wants to settle the trade, he must start with the current city manager, Sol asked.

Just as Conte Baker was about to speak, he suddenly heard a muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground in front of him, followed by a commotion, and many people ran towards the direction of the sound.

Not knowing what happened, Saul and Conte Baker followed suit.A lot of savages had gathered there, and they all leaned over to look into a crevice in the ice.

It's behind the city, on the edge of that icy lake.Due to the freezing, the ground was covered by a thick layer of solid ice, and a long and narrow ice crevasse almost cut off most of the mountain top.

Construction is also going on on the side of the ice crevasse, but because it is cut off, people who transport materials can only go around along the ice crevice.The ice was wet and slippery, but a savage fell in with his furbeast.

The savages present rushed to the rescue, and the buzzing native language shouted one after another.Saul was overwhelmed, and only after asking Conte Baker did he understand that several people had fallen into this crevasse in the past month, and it took a long way to transport the materials, so the construction progress was greatly delayed.

"Why not build a bridge?" Thor asked.

Conte Baker was taken aback: "Bridge, how do you build it?"

It was only then that Sol remembered that there was no such thing as a bridge on the perennially frozen frozen plateau.Rivers and lakes are frozen for most of the year, and people can walk directly across them without bridges at all.Although there are many ice crevasses on the ice sheet, it does not affect the traffic, and the big deal is a long detour.Therefore, in the cognition of these barbarians, the concept of bridge does not exist at all.

Although the ice gorge at the foot of the mountain is wide, there are two natural ice bridges, otherwise they might not even be able to climb the mountain.

But looking at the current situation, building a few bridges over the crevasses is the best solution.But there are no materials here, and no craftsmen, so how easy is it to build a bridge?
In the middle of the dilemma, a flash of inspiration flashed in Sol's mind, and he suddenly remembered the method he had read in a book before.It's just right for the cold weather on the frozen plateau.

Thinking about it, he felt that it was very possible, and he immediately said excitedly: "I have a solution."

Before Conte Baker could make a sound, he heard a heroic voice coming from behind: "I don't know what good solution Master Saul has?"

The two turned around in surprise, only to find that it was Irrfan they were going to find.The tall old man looked at the surprised Sol with a smile on his face: "I just saw your back, and I felt very familiar. I didn't expect it to be Lord Sol."

"Chief Irfan, Lord Saul and I are going to find you." Conte Baker saluted.

It seems that Irfan also came over to check the situation after hearing the news. He waved his hand: "I'll talk about it later. Sir Saul just said that there is a way. Do you know how to build bridges?"

Sol shook his head: "I don't understand. But I thought of a way to build a few temporary ice bridges on this crevasse, which should solve the current predicament."

"Oh? What's the solution?" Irfan asked hastily.

Sol pointed to the crevice in the ice: "This crevice is not very wide, the patriarch can ask someone to pull ropes at both ends, make a group of 5 to 10, then spread grass on the ropes, and then water the grass. It freezes quickly here, as long as you keep watering layer by layer, it should be able to freeze into an ice bridge soon, and then find some wood to support it, which is enough to connect the two places."

It was the first time Irfan had heard of this unimaginable method, and he thought it was unbelievable at first, but it was very feasible after careful consideration.The frozen plateau has a cold climate. Once frozen, as long as it is thick enough, it is no different from a rock.If this method can really be used to build an ice bridge, it will definitely be able to carry people and beasts to walk.

"Then when do you think it's appropriate to start?" Irfan asked humbly. At this moment, in his eyes, Sol was as incredible as a magician.

Sol thought for a while: "Of course, the sooner the better. But it takes time to prepare grass and ropes, so let's do it tonight. The temperature at night is lower, so the frozen ice bridge will be stronger."

"Okay, I will do as you say!" Irfan called a follower and gave some instructions.

Following him, he raised his hand: "Master Saul is worthy of being a nobleman on the frozen plateau, and he solved such a big problem for us as soon as he came. It has been hard work from afar, please follow me to the town hall to rest."

Saul nodded happily, erroneously, and the bridge building left a good impression on Irfan again.God helped me too, it seems that the trade matter is more promising.

************************************************** *******************
Under the leadership of Irfan, the three of them came to a huge wooden house built of logs, which was used as a temporary town hall.

The elders selected by the various tribes decided on various matters of city construction here, and they showed great enthusiasm for the arrival of Sol, the city's "initial proponent".

Once again enjoying the bear hug unique to the frozen plateau, and it was a multi-person "wheel hug version". On the eve of Sol's dying breath, he was finally invited by Irfan to rest aside.

These savages probably weren't used to living in a house yet. A good wooden house was made like a tent, without even a stool, and the floor was covered with thick animal skins, so they sat on it.

"I'm glad you escaped from the orc empire, so what's the matter with you when you come to the frozen plateau this time?" Irfan asked straight to the point.

Fearing that Sol would slip up, Conte Baker was about to answer for him, but saw Sol smiled: "It was nothing important at first, but after seeing Xueyuan City, there is again."

"Oh?" Irfan looked at him puzzled.

Sol considered the wording for a while, and then said: "Mr. Irfan, I deeply admire you for building the city to such a large scale in a short period of time. However, I also noticed that this city still has a lot to offer. Have you noticed the flaws?"

"What is it?" Irfan asked Kantebeck, looking at each other in surprise.

Sol smiled slightly: "It's trade."

"Trade?" Irfan pondered for a moment, "You mean..."

Sol nodded: "It's trade. I think the existence of Xueyuan City is not just to resist the orcs, but also a symbol of the rise of barbarians as an independent force. With it, it means that you are no longer just dependent on Weak people from the orcs, and officially become the masters of the entire frozen plateau."

His words made Irrfan and Contebaker nod their heads, and their eyes showed eagerness.In fact, independence, and recognition from the outside world, had always been the dream of every savage.

Secretly thinking that the eloquence he had practiced when he participated in the election in college has not been wasted, Sol continued: "Then, in the future, Xueyuan City will not be able to cut off its connection with other countries on the mainland and exist alone, otherwise the construction of the city will lose its meaning. Trade is the best way to let other people recognize you, or in other words, get in touch with you."

"Send out the precious specialties of the frozen plateau, earn money from those nobles, and use it to support your construction. Let them love these things, rely on them, and be inseparable from them. In this way, you will naturally be valued. Starting to establish political connections is the best way to develop the city." Saul showed off his tongue and continued to instigate.

Irfan finally moved: "Thank you Lord Saul for reminding me, I understand."

Sol was in a hurry, what's the use of just knowing, do I have to waste my words in vain?I'm still waiting for you to speak, so that I can start this transaction between you and me.

Since the other party was not enlightened, he had no choice but to make a further reminder: "Also, the construction of this city is going smoothly, but what if there are more people? Have you ever thought about it? What should I do?"

Obviously thinking of the terrible consequences, Irfan immediately changed his face.

Sol looked persuasive: "For example, salt, as far as I know, except for a few small tribes near the sea in the northern part of the plateau who produce a small amount, most of your salt has to be exchanged from the orc empire, and those orcs, You also bought our Dinar, so why don’t you trade directly with Dinar? Another example is weapons, medicines and other necessary materials, which will be in great demand in this city in the future.”

Irfan and Contebaker looked at each other worriedly: "Yes, speaking of it, we do need to start trading immediately, but where can we find the right candidate?"

Sol secretly thought that the two of you really don't understand, why do you think I'm wasting my tongue?Embarrassed to shout out loud, he desperately pointed his finger at himself.

It's a pity that Irfan, who was immersed in worry, temporarily ignored Lord Saul's existence: "The other party must not only have a good reputation and will not deceive us, but also have the strength to provide us with the supplies we need."

"That person is here!" Thor cried out in his heart, raising his hands and shaking behind Irrfan.

Conte Baker said: "But people in mainland China have always looked down on us, so it may be difficult to find us."

Saul shrugged his body, desperately sticking his head out from behind the tall Kante Baker.

Irfan hummed: "We can only figure out a solution slowly."

Thor knelt down on one knee, with one hand on his hips, grabbed the fur on the ground, and spun it continuously above his head as a flag.

Conte Baker sighed: "It really needs to be considered carefully."

Thor: Hey, I said the two of you didn't do it on purpose...

Fortunately, Irfan finally noticed him who kept jumping up and down: "Master Saul, what are you doing?"

"Ahem..." Sol coughed twice in embarrassment, and then his face became serious: "The person you are looking for is here!"

Irfan and Contebaker stared at him at the same time, and it took a while to realize: "You?"

"Don't be so surprised..."

Sol showed his eloquent tongue: "As Earl Dinard, I have my own territory and caravan, so I naturally have the strength to provide you with the supplies you need. In addition, I can guarantee that when the time is right, I can use As an earl, I will be the introducer between you and the royal family of Dinard."

"Really?" Irfan was overjoyed. If they could establish contact with the Dinar Kingdom with a history of thousands of years, their status would undoubtedly be greatly improved.

"And what do you need?" Conte Baker asked.

"Trade, of course it is trade." Sol said without hesitation: "I need to obtain a trade franchise with you. At least in the next few years, I hope that your production will only be sold to my caravan. In exchange, I'll provide whatever supplies you need, even weapons."

On this point, Thor is not talking nonsense.He has long considered that the lord has considerable power in Dinar. At present, in the eyes of the Dinar people, the frozen plateau is just a barren land, and opening up trade routes here by himself will not cause any dissatisfaction.

As for the orcs, he didn't care much.Now that group of half-human, half-beast guys are making a fuss, how can they have the time to worry about whether they sell things to their former vassals.Besides, even if you are unhappy, so what, did you attack Dinar to bite me?

Weapons may be a bit more troublesome. Although the military leader Kawei also sells weapons, they are all sold in small quantities.But don't forget that guy Gein is his best friend, and his father is the commander of the Northern Army, so it's not a matter of just asking him.At that time, it would be a big deal to add a grand reason to support the barbarians to contain the orcs, and I believe it would not be a problem to give them some kickbacks.

Sol's promise finally convinced Irfan that he was not joking, and Sol's good relationship with them finally made him make a decision: "Since it is Sir Saul, we promise you."

yeah!yeah!Saul almost jumped up with joy.Gold coins, trade franchise, I'm about to get rich!
After roughly discussing some details, Sol patted his chest and said: "After I return to the territory, I will send the leader of the caravan under my name to sign an agreement with you as soon as possible, and I can provide the first batch of living materials for free. Lovell's name guarantee will absolutely guarantee the fairness of future transactions."

Irfan was greatly moved by his sincerity. If Thor's promise is fulfilled, the construction of Xueyuan City will be greatly guaranteed, and its significance is absolutely no less than the city-building proposal he proposed at the beginning.

"The Frozen Plateau will always remember your kindness." He thanked from the bottom of his heart.

************************************************** ***************************
Leaving the town hall, Conte Baker took Saul to buy the supplies needed to go up the mountain.And just made a big deal, Sol was very excited, wandering all the way east and west, very unhappy.

"How much money do I need? I left in a hurry when I came out, and now I have no money." He suddenly thought of a question, and he said a little embarrassedly.

Conte Baker shook his head: "No money is needed, although your gold coins are equally common here, but most of the time, we still rely on this." As he said, he patted the fur on his back.

Soon, after some bargaining in front of a stall, Conte Baker successfully exchanged a piece of white bear skin for a large roll of strong leather rope and a lot of dried meat.

Then he exchanged for camping tents, kindling, warm clothes and simple fur sleeping bags and other supplies. When all the fur on his back was replaced, the two furry beasts were covered.

After checking the materials again, Conte Baker nodded with satisfaction: "It's almost there, and I will rest in the city for a night today. I will start tomorrow, and I will be able to enter the mountain the day after tomorrow."

Saul nodded, he was thinking about whether to use the gadgets on his body for something.Suddenly, a voice came into my ears: "Rulette, the magic core here is so cheap, give me money, give me money quickly."

In an instant, the hairs all over Thor's body stood on end.I followed the sound eagerly, and saw the long-lost adventurer guild Ruret team in front of a tent selling magic cores not far away. All members were here.

Meine, who was carrying a large schoolbag, was blushing, and was excitedly looking at the precious ice monster cores all over the floor.Luret squatted beside her with a bitter face, apparently helpless with the girl's desire to shop.

The cold and handsome magician Laris stood aside expressionlessly, as if those magic cores that were extremely precious to magicians did not arouse his interest at all.Half-elf archer Kado crossed his arms and looked around boredly.

At this moment, Kado's gaze met Sol inadvertently.Seeing Sol, he was obviously stunned.

Surprised, Saul turned around and hid behind Kante Baker in an instant.Conte Baker was comforting a restless woolly beast, and was very surprised by his behavior: "What's the matter? Sir Saul."

"It's nothing, let's go, let's go." Saul was inconvenient to explain, and urged again and again.

Conte Baker was at a loss, but he still drove the woolly beast away as he said.Sol didn't dare to turn his head, so he could only bury his head as low as possible, for fear of attracting the other party's attention.

"Damn it, doesn't it mean that no one here knows about it? How did those guys appear?" He was sweating coldly, wondering.

And here, Laris also noticed Kado's strangeness: "What's wrong?"

"I seem to see an acquaintance... No, maybe my eyes are dazzled." Kado smiled self-consciously.

This time they went deep into the frozen plateau due to their mission, and accidentally discovered this new city. I am afraid that no one in the whole continent has noticed the actions of these barbarians, so how could they meet that liar here?

"Mene, I'm really out of money. If we buy more, we won't even have the supplies to go up the mountain." At this time, Rulert, who was squatting on the ground, complained.

Holding a large handful of magic cores in his hand and stuffing them into his schoolbag, Mene looked reluctant to part.After hesitating for a long time, she turned around: "Laris, Cardo, do you have any money?"

The magician and elf archer immediately shook their heads.

"That's it..." Meine's eyes flashed disappointment, but soon she said excitedly: "Rulette, can I pawn your sword? These barbarians like it very much."

"..." Rulert was speechless.

He stood up without saying a word, grabbed Mene under his arm, turned and left.

"Ah, don't be angry, I haven't finished yet, why don't you use Kado's bow and arrow..." Meine's unwilling cry quickly disappeared into the crowd.

"Huh, they didn't come after them, did they?" After walking for a long time, Sol finally mustered up the courage to look back.

After confirming that he was not being followed by the other party, he let out a long sigh of relief.My god, could it be that I really have a destiny with these guys?How can I meet the same everywhere.

At this time, Conte Baker took him to the only hotel in the city at present, no, to be more precise, it was the only place that could provide accommodation for outsiders.

Most barbarians have the habit of carrying tents with them when they go out, so there are not many houses in the city at present, and it does not affect the problem of accommodation.I don't know which barbarian with a business mind thought of opening an inn, and this place existed here.

"You, you mean, we're staying here tonight?" Sol looked at the things in front of him in surprise.

In front of him was a large wooden house, but it had no doors, no windows, and air leaks everywhere, so it was obviously not very suitable for living.In fact, the wooden house is indeed not for living in people. Sol saw with his own eyes that the heads of several woolly beasts poked out from the windows, roaring in a low voice.

A large yard is surrounded by a fence outside the house. At the moment, the yard is full of tents, and many barbarians come in and out.The snow that had been trampled black on the ground and the excrement of furry beasts gave off a strange smell.

The so-called inn is that the owner of the inn provides tents to savages who have not brought tents.Sol smiled a little self-consciously. He should have thought of this earlier. With the current progress of the city's construction, how could there be any vacant house to use as a hotel?
Just stay here, anyway, I have never lived in a house here.It’s just that savages are savages. They love the fur animals they raise as they love their family members. Many people directly drag the fur animals into the tents.

Since Saul is Irfan's distinguished guest, he doesn't need to spend money to eat and live here, and he got a luxurious triangle animal skin tent specially provided by the owner.

After entering the tent, Sol threw away his luggage and lay down on the thick leather cushion, and was almost choked by the strong fishy smell.

"Cough cough cough... My god, what does it smell like?" He flipped up from the mat, gasping for breath.

It seems that this "luxury room" is obviously not that luxurious, at least this cushion has been slept by countless savages, and the mixed smell of various body odors is three points more terrifying than that of Hong Kong feet.

After staring at the "beautiful looking" cushion and hesitating for a while, Sol tentatively put his nose close to it, tears streaming down his face, and his whole body twitched on the ground.

"New, fresh air..." He crawled to the tent door with all his strength.

I can't sleep on this mattress anymore, and I will be choked to death if I lie on it.However, the temperature at night on the frozen plateau is extremely low. If you don't have fur to keep out the cold, you will have to freeze to death.

There is a death on the left and right, whether to die in humiliation from the "influence" of those barbaric body odors, or to turn into a stick of ice with backbone, has become the biggest problem facing Sol at present.

On the eve of his passing out, the curtain of the tent was lifted.Conte Baker poked his head in: "Master Saul, eat... Hey, what are you doing lying on the ground?"

"Hahaha, it's too hot in the tent, I'll lie down on the ground to cool down." Sol laughed dryly.

Conte Baker pulled him up: "This is not acceptable. Although there is the fat of the ice crystal python, your life will be in danger if you catch the cold. You are not used to the climate here. I specifically asked them to bring the thickest leather cushions for you." You, everyone who has slept with you agrees."

"Yu, so it's you..." Saul really didn't know whether to cry or laugh at his hospitality.

"Let's go, after dinner, you still have to guide the construction of the ice bridge." Conte Baker pulled him out of the tent.

Sol wanted to cry without tears: "Woo, I want to go home, I want to sleep in bed, I want to eat the meal made by Marlene..."

************************************************** ******************************
A bonfire was lit in the courtyard, and a bison was roasted hotly, and the eaters got their own food.Many savages sat around the campfire, drinking and eating meat, enjoying themselves.

Conte Baker handed Saul a knife and told him to cut whatever he wanted to eat.After trekking in the snowfield for most of the day, he was really a bit hungry, so he simply put everything aside and satiated first.

After walking around the roasted beef that had been cut into sevens and eights, Sol decided to cut the buttocks of the cow, which is the rump meat, the essence of beef.Unexpectedly, just as the knife was inserted into the meat, a small white and tender hand stretched out from the side: "Please help me cut a piece."

"Huh?" Thor turned his head in astonishment, and then met the two bulging cheeks of Mene.

When Conte Baker brought him here, Saul apparently ignored that this was the "only" hotel in the city.That is to say, apart from them, Ruret and others also live here.

Seeing Sol staring at him, the two big eyes behind Meine's glasses showed a strange look: "What's wrong?"

Sol was taken aback, and secretly scolded himself as a pig.Last time in Ferry City, I had put on makeup, so the other party might not recognize me, so why did I feel so guilty?
Thinking of this, he coughed dryly, and his expression returned to normal: "Happy to help. Which one do you want?"

Meine swallowed the beef in her mouth, pointed at the place where Sol cut the knife and said excitedly: "I want this piece."

"Damn chick..." Sol cursed secretly, but after all, he didn't want to have more contact with this group of people. He cut off the meat three times and five times, and he was about to send her away.

At this moment, Meine's eyes suddenly showed surprise: "Ah, you...you are..."

Oops!Sol's face changed, and he was finally seen through.

Now that the matter has come to this point, he is calm.Humph sneered, and Sol shook his head in a deep voice: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, I tried my best, but you still saw it through. That's right, I stole hundreds of thousands of gold coins from the Adventurer's Guild in Ferry City Zhang Anbu, so what? Wahahahaha..."

Menie looked puzzled at Sol who was laughing wildly, "But, but I just wanted to say hello to you because I met other Dinar people."

"Wow!?" For an instant, the audience was so quiet that a needle could be heard.

Sol looked at Mene with a strange face, and then at Ruret and the others who slowly stood up from another place, loosened his five fingers, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.

Depend on!You stupid girl, what can you say that you won't finish all at once?Saul really wanted to step up and strangle her.June Feixue, I am really wronged...

"Mr. Zhang Anbu, no wonder I think you look familiar, we haven't seen each other for a long time." Kado looked at Sol with a half-smile, and slowly put on an arrow.

Rulert was not as hostile as he was, and he even smiled at Saul: "Mr. Zhang Anbu, we have been looking for you for a long time."

"Rulette, do you know each other?" Mene was puzzled.

"Uh... Anyway, you've done a good job, come here." Ruret could only smile wryly at her confusion.

The movement here also attracted the attention of other barbarians. Conte Baker walked up to Saul and said in a deep voice, "Is there any misunderstanding? This is Earl Saul from the Lowell Territory of the Kingdom of Dinar." .”

"Wow, don't do it!" Saul just wanted to stop him, but Conte Baker had already reported the house for him.

Upon hearing this, Rulert and the others looked at each other in blank dismay.Laris said coldly: "Now that I remember, isn't this the Lord Earl Sol who has been making a big splash in the capital recently? I didn't expect that you still have the hobby of being a fraudster."

Secretly thought that I was not only a fraudster, but also a robber, are you biting me?When the matter developed to this point, Sol really couldn't laugh or cry, everything was messed up...

"In any case, please follow us back to the guild headquarters." Ruret said and took a step forward.

"What do you want to do?" Conte Baker immediately stopped in front of him.

Facing this tall barbarian, Rulet scratched his head in embarrassment: "Sorry, we are adventurers from the Adventurer's Guild. This person is suspected of defrauding the guild's property, and we want to arrest him."

Conte Baker said without hesitation: "Master Saul is our distinguished guest, and you cannot take him away."

"I'm sorry, this is an order from the guild." Rulet shook his head and reached out to press the hilt of his sword.

"Hey, it's just a misunderstanding, I can explain..." Saul still wanted to explain.

Pulling him behind him, Conte Baker said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Master Saul, you are our barbarian's benefactor, and we will never let these people touch a finger of you."

As he spoke, he said to Ruret: "Xueyuan City welcomes every friend, but please don't forget what this place is. If you insist on coming, we will accompany you to the end."

While speaking, the surrounding barbarians stood up without saying a word.Their heights are different from ordinary people, like a wall sandwiching Rulert and others, forming a huge pressure.

"Do you want to do it?" Cardo asked in a low voice.

Rulert shook his head, and spread his hands very simply: "I won't fight."

"Let him go?" Laris was puzzled.

Rulert pouted around, and smiled wryly: "Otherwise, what else can we do? We have another mission here, and it's not to arrest people. Besides, it's a festival between him and the guild, so I'll leave it to the higher-ups to have a headache." .”

As he said that, he smiled meaningfully at Sol: "I just interrupted you, Mr. Zhang Anbu, or...Your Excellency Earl Sol. Also, I would like to remind you that the Adventurer's Guild is very powerful, please take care of yourself in the future."

Sol froze, is this guy reminding himself?

Just as he was about to ask for clarification, Rulet stretched lazily and turned around: "Oh, I'm exhausted, let's go back to sleep."

Saul was still there in a daze after Rulet left, so it's all right?
"Master Saul, what happened just now?" Conte Baker came over and asked.

"You said that, uh... Actually, those guys are not good people. They wanted to rob my gold coins last time. If they didn't succeed, they wanted to plant them in reverse. Don't say anything, I won't tell this secret to ordinary people." Sol mysteriously road.Naturally, he was not a good man and a believer, so he poured dirty water on Rulert casually.

Conte Baker hesitated: "Then you just said that you took away hundreds of thousands of gold coins..."

Saul was at a loss for words.Sighing lightly, he looked up at the sky with his hands behind his back, looking like he couldn't explain it in words: "Oh, this matter is extremely complicated, and I can't explain it clearly in a few words. I will explain it later when I have a chance."

The barbarian has a straightforward personality, and Kante Baker nodded when he heard this: "I believe in your character."

As he said that, he looked up at the sky. At this time, night had fallen, the temperature dropped rapidly, and the biting cold wind mixed with snowflakes whined.

"It's almost time, let's go to the ice crevasse." He said to Sol.

After hastily eating a few pieces of meat, Saul and Conte Baker rushed to the ice crevasse, which was already full of people.Hundreds of barbarians gathered at both ends of the ice crevasse, and threw the leather rope tied with stones to the opposite side, connecting the two places.

Seeing him, Irfan greeted loudly: "Master Saul, we have tied the rope, what should we do next?"

Walking to the edge of the crevasse, Sol saw that the savages had pulled up three groups of 10 leather ropes above the crevasse.He tried to tie it tightly with his hands, and he turned around and said, "Let's start laying grass."

There is no straw on the frozen plateau, so they use the grass that feeds the woolly beasts instead.Hearing this, several barbarians ran to the edge of the ice crevice with a large bundle of dead grass, and evenly spread the grass on the leather rope.

Then a group of savages carried a large bucket of water and poured water on the grass spoon by spoon.The temperature at night was extremely low, and the water froze almost immediately after being poured on it, and the piece of leather rope that was soon covered with grass turned into an ice board.

"Just continue to do it like this in the future, and keep pouring water up to make the ice layer thicker and thicker." Sol told them.

At the end, he added another sentence: "Hey, try to choose someone as light as possible to stand on it, do you have any children?"

Then the savages acted in accordance with the law. When the ice was frozen solid, they stood on it, continued to spread grass, poured water, and gradually turned the leather rope into an ice bridge.Due to the simultaneous construction on both sides, the progress is extremely fast.

More and more barbarians gathered here, and they all heard the rumor that Thor could build three bridges across the crevasse overnight.Seeing the ice bridge taking shape little by little with their own eyes, everyone showed incredible eyes.

"The man from Dinar is a magical magician." Such rumors spread like wildfire.

The crowd of onlookers also included Rulert and the four of them.Seeing the ice bridge stretching slowly, Meine's eyes widened: "It's amazing."

Cardo's eyes were also filled with amazement: "It is rumored that the Earl of Lovell knows some incredible and strange skills, and it seems to be true."

Rulert scratched his hair: "Since he is so capable, why does he want to cheat the guild of money?"

Laris said coldly: "Who knows, the nobles are all greedy."

Ruret shook his head: "I don't think so. When I was in Ferry, I didn't think he was a bad guy. There must be some reason for this. And he refused the king's reward in the capital, and it has spread throughout Dinar , and now go to the remote frozen plateau to help the barbarians build bridges, I really don't understand this guy."

Laris snorted, "It's none of our business what he does. It's getting late, and we have to go up the mountain tomorrow. I hope the white dragon is going to sleep as rumored."

"Yes, yes, Meine is so sleepy." Meine grabbed Rulert's trouser leg.

"Okay, go back and rest, and leave early tomorrow morning." Luret nodded.

After taking two steps, he couldn't help turning his head back again.By the growing ice bridge, Sol was yelling.

"Interesting guy..." Looking at Saul's back, Rulert smiled softly.

****************************************************************
With the help of the low temperature at night, after a night of hard work, at the dawn of the next day, three crystal clear ice bridges crossed the ice cracks, and the bridge deck reflected the sunlight, like three flying rainbows.

The ice layer of the bridge body is more than one foot thick, which can bear a huge weight.Some savages tied ropes down to the ice crevasse, and propped the prepared wood under the ice bridge to increase its bearing capacity.

It is estimated that after the support is completed in the afternoon, the three bridges can fully bear the weight of the woolly beasts hauling building materials, and the construction progress on the opposite side will be greatly improved by then.

"Lay some grass and dirt on it to prevent slipping. In addition, water the bridge every night, so that the bridge will not be afraid of the ice melting and make the bridge thinner." Sol is doing to Irfan at the newly built bridge. Final order.

At this time, the savages admired Sol so much that they built three bridges overnight, which was simply a miracle of the God of Ice and Snow.

"They are all your achievements, please name these three bridges." Irfan said happily.

"Name it?" Saul was stunned.In the past, I only saw big people writing inscriptions and leaving their names on TV. I never expected, I never expected that today, I, Sol, can also be cool in this wild place.

So, what name should you choose?Sol raised his head and thought hard. The one in the middle is called the Sol Bridge, and the ones on the two sides are called Jessica Bridge and Marlene Bridge. Although there is no creativity, it will be a pleasure for these two beauties to always be by their side in the future.

But when he changed his mind, Saul quit again.Nonsense, taking such a name means that the three of us will be stepped on every day in the future, isn't this self-abuse?

With a wicked smile on his face, Thor said to Irrfan, "I've made up my mind, it's called Cliff Bridge, Adventurer's Guild Bridge, and Necromancer Bridge."

"Uh...Okay." Irfan was stunned for a while before nodding.

Who is Cliff?What does it have to do with the Adventurer's Guild?As for the Necromancer Bridge, the name is too ugly, why should it be named after those living dead?
But since Sol took it, he had no choice but to do so.So, not long after, three stone tablets engraved with strange bridge names stood beside the ice bridge.

As for Cliff, the Adventurer's Guild, and the Necromancers, I'm afraid they will never imagine that they are being trampled by countless people all day long on the frozen plateau thousands of miles away...

With Marlene's soul in his heart, Saul bid farewell to Irrfan even though he hadn't slept all night.Although he only stayed in Snowfield City for one day, Thor had already made all the barbarians remember his name.Until many, many years later, the name of "Magic Sol" has been circulated in the legends of various tribes.

After bidding farewell to Irfan who was so kind to him, Saul and Contebek rode on the fur beast and officially set off for Gosmed Snow Mountain.But will the white dragon on the mountain allow him to retrieve Marlene's soul fire smoothly?
