"Squeak, squeak", outside the door of the tavern, several pairs of legs stepped into the deep snow again and again, and again and again pulled out of the snow with difficulty, and the white and smooth snow was stepped out of a footprint like a relief, extending from a distance to the front of the tavern. ∷ In the distance, the footprints left behind have been re-covered by the falling snowflakes, and there is no trace of anyone passing on the ground, only a white expanse of snow stretching into the distance, merging with the sky with falling snowflakes.

With a bang, the door was pushed open, and wind and snow poured into the room through the gate, causing an instant rain to fall in the tavern. Yes, ice rain, when the door is opened, the cold air outside meets the warm and humid air in the house, and the low temperature causes the moist air in the house to condense for a short time, turning into a rare indoor rain.

"Oh, bastard, close that damn door. The townspeople in the tavern cursed loudly, they had lived in this town all their lives, they had long been accustomed to the appearance of ice and rain, and they would not be surprised, they would only feel bored, in the past, in order to avoid this happening, they would keep the door fast enough when they opened the door, but this time the people who entered the door obviously did not realize this, and led to a bad situation. The townsfolk in the tavern were so irritated by the cold wind that they couldn't open their eyes for a while, and they couldn't see who was coming in from outside, but that didn't stop them from roaring: "Damn, who the hell is this kind of joke, this kind of joke is really annoying, and if anyone makes this kind of joke again, I will strip him naked and throw him into the snow pool for three days and three nights." ”

In the nearby town, there are indeed people who like to use this method to make jokes and deliberately cause trouble for the people in the house. However, this kind of banter is only allowed between friends who know each other very well, as it is not so popular. Of course, it's understandable to think about it, after all, in a warm room, no one likes to be drenched in this thin ice rain.

The door was quickly reopened. Only then did the guests in the tavern see who had entered. No, strictly speaking, no one could tell who had come in, because they were so tightly wrapped that it was impossible to recognize them.

There were six people coming in from the outside, but there were only four pairs of footsteps. Six men were four tall and two short, two short, one on someone's back, and the other on someone's shoulder. These people wore layers upon layers of thick cotton clothing, each with the outermost layer of their lower body. They were wearing a pair of smooth leather pants that went straight down, wrapped in their feet and boots, and tied tightly to their legs with strings to prevent their clothes and shoes from getting soaked when walking in the snow. Their upper body was also covered with a fur coat, the collar and cuffs were fastened to prevent snow from penetrating into the clothes, and they also wore a wide fur hat on their heads, thick gloves on their hands, and their faces were tightly wrapped in warm cotton cloth. Even the eyes that should have been exposed to the outside were covered with a huge black sunglasses, and it can be said that not a single centimeter of skin was exposed to the outside of these six people. Such attire is not uncommon for people in the town, and it is the standard travel attire for people in the nearby ice and snow world. Without the protection of such clothing, no one would dare to go out in such a snowstorm, or more precisely, even with the protection of such clothing. No one would dare to travel far in such a blizzard.

"Haha, look what we saw, six unlucky guys. "The mayor of the town sitting at the bar has a bushy beard. He wiped the liquor from his beard, laughed rudely in a deafening voice in the distinctive accent of southern Neville, and pointed to the six people who walked in the door, "Let me guess, let me guess, where are you from?

In this area, the winter transportation is extremely inconvenient, and if there is any emergency in the village or town, the only way to do this is to draw lots to select a few unlucky guys to go out to other villages to deliver letters. For those who live here all year round, although going to a nearby village will not cause you to freeze to death on the snowfield because you get lost, you will definitely not be able to escape the pain of being tortured by the cold along the way, so the mayor of the frozen town will laugh loudly at these poor guys.

However, the people who entered the door did not respond to the mayor's taunt, they first put down the two people who were carrying them on their backs, then took off their sunglasses, took off their fur hats, and untied the cotton cloth tied to their faces, and the people in the tavern realized that there were actually six men, five women, and six men, the men were tall and strong, and the women were each beautiful in their own way.

"Huh", seeing the beauty, several townspeople whistled under the stimulation of alcohol, and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, it's a beautiful woman, oh, dear, on such a cold day, do you want me to use my body to help you warm up, hahahaha." ”

"Shut up, you idiots, your eyes are ornaments, and so are your brains? Have you ever seen a village where women come out to deliver letters and run errands? Are you all a bunch of stupid pigs? Or have you been eaten up by brain-eating worms in your ears since you were a child?" Those pig-like idiots are blind, don't bother with them, come on, have a drink together?"

The six of them obviously had no interest in entanglement with the rude townspeople whose brains were soaked in alcohol, and the five girls didn't even look at those people, and walked straight to the mayor who had made the invitation, only the men with short blond hair glanced at a few people with a smile, and several people felt an inexplicable panic in their hearts at the same time, as if they were stared at by the ferocious snow wolves on the snowfield, their backs were numb, and they lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak.

"Adventurer, I'm the head of the regiment, Catherine. The black-haired girl walked straight to the bar, popped a silver coin at the bartender, picked up a large glass of the bartender that had just been poured, and touched the glass in the bearded mayor's hand: "Cheers to the bountiful harvest after the heavy snow." ”

"For a good harvest after heavy snowfall. The mayor was stunned, stroked his beard and laughed, and together with Catherine, he raised his head and drank the whole glass of spirits in one gulp, poured the glass and slammed it on the bar, and gave Catherine a thumbs up: "Good." ”

Catherine wiped the corners of her mouth with the back of her hand and pointed to her and the mayor's glasses at the bartender. Before coming here, the knight girl consulted a lot of information to understand the personality characteristics and etiquette habits of the people of the southern snowfield, so she was able to deal with the mayor very easily, and won a lot of favor. A glass of liquor is poured into the mouth, and the intense stimulation rushes from the mouth to the stomach, and a warm feeling emanates from the stomach and slowly spreads to every part of the body. Catherine exhaled a breath of wine and said with a faint smile, "It's been a long time since this snow. ”

"Thirteen days. The mayor said, "I really didn't expect that such a big snowstorm would also have adventurers come to our town, are you planning to go to the Warcraft Forest in winter?"

"Yes, there are some things that can't be delayed, and it's good to be able to finish them a day sooner. Catherine nodded and said, "But with such a heavy snowfall, it is not realistic to continue walking south, do you know when this snow will stop?"

"Who knows. The mayor took another sip of liquor and muttered, "Hell, I haven't encountered a snowstorm that lasts so long for more than ten years, and if it rains for a few more days, it is estimated that there will be a house that cannot support it." ”

"House?" Catherine asked, confused, "Oh, do you mean the snow might crush the house?"

"yes, my town, I don't want to see anyone freeze to death because their house collapsed. The mayor sighed and said, "So not only are you anxious, but we are also looking forward to the blizzard to stop soon." However, according to the old man in the town, the snow will almost stop in two or three days, and it is estimated that there will be a few days of good weather by then. ”

"Really, it's the best news I've heard in a month. Catherine breathed a sigh of relief, took the wine glass and said, "You guys are hard enough, living in such an environment, life is not easy." ”

"Hahahaha, you don't understand this, in fact, it's still very good here. The mayor burst out laughing, shook his head and said, "You still don't know about this place, little girl, although it is cold here, but the land is fertile enough, if you take advantage of the summer farming, the food produced in four months is enough for the whole town to eat for a year, and in the winter everyone will often go out to hunt, there are still many wild beasts on the snow field in winter, and the hunting game is also very rich, and there are a lot of furs to protect against the cold, and the life is very good." As for security, as long as you don't leave the town too far, you will generally not encounter the threat of Warcraft, and it will basically not affect the normal life of the town. Every winter, a lot of excess fur will be accumulated, and the next summer, many merchants will come to the town to buy it at a high price, and we can exchange a lot of gold coins without going out, and live a very leisurely life. After getting used to life here, we want to move to other places, but we don't want to, and everyone will feel uncomfortable. ”

"I see. Catherine listened with great interest to the mayor's proud boasting, and only after he had finished speaking did she smile and say, "Is this the case in all the villages on the snowfield?"

"Well, it's pretty much the same. The mayor nodded and said: "But there are exceptions, some young people in the town like this peaceful life from time to time, always want to go to the north to break through, young people, it is a good thing to be motivated, everyone will not blame them, and, when they have had enough in the north, most of them will eventually return to the town, this is their home."
