Chapter 177: Cold Iron

Even though it's April, and even the northernmost country of the land claims to be spring, the weather is still very cold. Lu Xi, a person like Lu Xi who is always using the "anti-seasonal dressing method" to exercise his magic power, is fine, and Lim is also a strange girl who is very human in all aspects except for her appearance, but the others have already put on thick leather jackets, even a minotaur like Bull who has a physique of more than 50 is no exception. Sesileu was wrapped in layer after layer, like a round cotton ball.

Anyway, he is also a high-level elite magician, so it really hurts his image.

The tower assigned to Lu Xi is not special from the outside, it is an artificial creation made of huge stones layer by layer, which looks particularly lifeless, not like a residence for entertaining guests, but like a defensive tower. If you place a rotating catapult on top of the tower, it is estimated that the entire Carmellot will be within its attack range.

Lu Xi didn't have much hope for the rough nerves of the Nords, and he didn't have any expectations for the habitability of this tower, but when he walked in, he was taken aback. Everyone only felt a hot steam flowing on the inside of the wall, like human blood full of warm vitality, so comfortable that people couldn't help but shudder, and only in a moment all the cold in the body was expelled.

Could it be that this tower was built on a hot spring?

This is naturally impossible, but it also shows that the Nords also have their own unique features in architecture. This group of muscular brothers has lived on the icy plateau for thousands of years, and naturally they have their own clever places.

In addition to this, the interior of the tower has also undergone some renovation. It's not splendid, but it's elegant. It is also a southern coastal style that is deeply influenced by the modern architecture of Neosfia, and it takes into account the comfort and warmth of living.

"That big guy really has a heart. Seemingly. Nords aren't just muscular brothers with a tendon in their heads. For the accommodation in the next few days, Lu Xi said that he was very satisfied.

"Maybe this was arranged for someone by Her Highness Artoria? You'll really have to thank them when the time comes. Sai Xiliu clipped his hand and said with a blank expression.

Well, how did I inexplicably smell a large thick sour smell, is this my delusion?

"Well, but anyway, living here, we don't have to worry about catching a cold when we sleep at night, even if it's a cold-sensitive physique like Sai Xiliu, it's no problem at all."

"That's good news." Stand in this warm room. Seyriliu also took off the three-layered coat there, revealing the graceful figure under the single coat. Well, to be honest, since following Lu Ximan all over the world, Sai Xiliu, who enjoys the experience dividends of his teammates, has improved significantly, but the improvement in his body seems to be even more obvious.

"But don't be too long-winded with me! Sai Xiliu, I still have to say, our magician's physique is definitely not comparable to that group of Nord brothers, but after all, they are also the masters who randomly pinch fireballs to smash people. The resistance to cold and warmth is more than that of ordinary people. You already have the attribute of being afraid of ghosts, and if you have more attributes that are afraid of cold, don't have too many weaknesses? ”

"What's the solution, I've been very afraid of the cold since I was a child. It's decided when I was born, so I don't know any ice magic. ”

If it's a game, this girl must have a "fear of the cold." Ice Resistance -10" and other negative talents, right?

"It's outrageous...... If next time it's like going to Black Man, to Virginia. He even sent you to the Endless Ice Fields further north to defeat the Monsters, and you froze to death before the enemy could come. So how do you get it? ”

"That's why I don't like I'm coming to the north...... Wait, Lu Xi? Belencaster, you are pretending to be confused here again, who do you think caused this qiē? Obviously, the embassy intended to send me back to Auckland to continue to serve as the assistant counsellor of the embassy, but wasn't it because of a flurry up and down that things were stirred up? In other words, why did I spend three days and three nights writing a 10,000-word debriefing report that was completely useless, and if you fooled around, the director of the personnel department would listen to you? ”

"Ahh Well, it may be that the leaders judged that we could only exert our strongest strength when Sehireu was my secretary. You see, when the two of us cooperated, even the lich and the bone dragon were destroyed, and the Black Man City was defended, and the strength was improving day by day, so it is normal for the above to have this consideration. ”

"What kind of consideration do you want from above? It's okay if it's for some kind of mission, but you're obviously here to take a vacation, well, no, you're clearly here to see Her Highness Artoria. ”

"Wrong, wrong, we're here on vacation, and coming to see Artoria is just one of the activities on vacation." Lu Xi shook his hand and continued to flicker: "Think about what the head of the personnel department said before that?" Seyriliu-kun, you've worked hard for so long, why don't you go on a long vacation and take a good rest. I'll talk about work later, well, Lu Xijun is also going to take advantage of this long vacation to go to Carmelo to participate in Virginia's Dawn Festival, so you can go with him. You see, I've bought all the passenger tickets, but it's paid for by the government? Young people just have to go out and walk around while they still have energy, and when they are my age, they won't be able to do anything. ”

Seeing Lu Xi learn to speak vividly with the bald dead old man of the personnel department pinching his throat, Sai Xiliu couldn't help but have a fire in her stomach, but she knew that she was fooling herself, but she couldn't refute it, and her thousand words finally turned into a sigh of resentment, and she shook her head helplessly.

"Originally, people should have stayed in the warm Serokhia now, as an official diplomat instead of your assistant, and entered and exited the salons and pies of high society in a dignified manner, but it was because of you that they brought people to this cold and snowy place! I must have owed you in my last life! ”

The twenty-meter-high tower space is divided into four floors, each floor has several rooms, and Lu Xi, who congratulated him in a private capacity, did not bring any entourage, and there was a lot of spare space for a few people to live in. In the end, it was decided that the first floor would be used as the living room, Bull and Grant would live on the second floor, Lu Xi would live on the third floor, and the two girls, Sai Xi Lu and Lim, would live on the top floor.

Well, theoretically, this is a very convenient setting for Lu Xi to go to the night attack, it depends on whether this little otaku who can't just talk about it has the guts.

After everyone settled their luggage, Sehireu decided to take Lim to the city.

"Eh, why is that? It's already three o'clock in the afternoon, and everyone has a rest, and it's time to finish eating. Now that you're in the city, will you be able to come back by then? ”

"It doesn't matter." Sehireu smiled and shook his head: "Your Highness Artoria originally invited you, and we were originally incidental. It doesn't matter if I participate in this kind of private banquet or not, and suddenly ask me to share a table with Emperor Nord's family like this, to be honest, I am not so mentally prepared. ”

The latter sentence is clearly an excuse. You're jealous, aren't you? You must be jealous, right?

"And you and Your Highness Artoria must have a lot to say, and I don't want to watch you guys on the sidelines."

It's jealous! I was sure that I was jealous by all means!

"It just so happens that the alchemy I made recently is also lacking in the materials of purple quartz, snow essence and stone bone wood. These things are expensive in Elichar, but they are all produced in Virginia, so they should be much cheaper, right? I just went to buy some. ”

At the mention of alchemy, Lu Xi couldn't help but think of the thick set of letter paper that the teacher gave him, which can be called a guide to the production of guiding weapons and a revolutionary forward-looking report on the development of guiding technology. Such a thick thing is really not easy to carry close to the body, and Lu Xi doesn't know where to ensure safety, so he simply used the methods used by the characters in the so-called martial arts novels to treat the cheats, and completely memorized them, even if the descriptions and drawings that he couldn't understand, he memorized them by rote first, and then burned them.

Fortunately, Lu Xi, whose spirit is already 91 and his intelligence has broken a hundred, has almost reached the point where the legend "never forgets", and it took a few more days to memorize these obscure real numbers and drawings, but the task was finally completed.

Speaking of which, Lu Xi couldn't help but despise the sages of the magic world, even such a surreal thing as a floating ship came out, why didn't he think about solving the problem of paperless office first? A small USB flash drive can carry tens of thousands of articles around the world.

"Sehiru, as far as you know, apart from ebonystone, there is another kind of metal that is particularly resistant to high temperatures, not to mention the things like Mithril Essence Gold Star Iron Oz Steel that I can't afford even if I am treated."

Lu Xi asked such a question without a clue, and Sesilio was stunned for a moment, but he quickly replied: "Most of the ebonstone is produced in the abyss, and only a small amount in the main world is produced in Sosnes, and the Gaboa continent is not produced...... If you're looking for heat resistance, I know that there's a kind of cold iron metal in the Northland, most of which is found in crypts and ice fields, and it's a precious magical metal. However, this metal is much more precious than the sacred metals such as Mithril Adamantite, so it is not valuable. And because it can only be forged at low temperatures, it is very difficult to shape, so it is difficult to make weapons such as knives and guns, and at most it can only be used as an additive. ”

"I know all of that. I mean, Veggia is also one of the sources of cold iron, right? Lu Xi took out a heavy bag of gold coins from his arms: "When you go shopping, help me bring some cold iron back by the way, take Grant and Bull together, and use them as coolies." (To be continued.) )
