Chapter 1077 Return to the North Pole

Regarding revisiting the North Pole, Hao Ren had already had this idea - although the civil strife of the demon hunters has ended, several of the most important "goddess relics" in Corpus have been sampled and analyzed by the data terminal. But he still left a little too hastily. At that time, the situation of the demon hunters was initially settled, but something happened on the alien side. Hao Ren hurriedly left the place before he had time to further explore Corpus. Now that everything has settled, it is only a matter of time before he goes back to investigate. thing.

Now it's time to take advantage of this Zhao Xi incident to go back and ask Bai Huo and Hasselblad to cooperate in an investigation.

Hao Ren's proposal was supported by Vivian and Lily - the former believed that she needed to go to the North Pole personally out of a sense of responsibility, and the latter probably encouraged her to go to the North Pole because of her husky blood. Then Hao Ren looked at the other people in the living room: "Who else wants to follow?"

Elizabeth held up a small screwdriver and ran past Hao Ren: "Uncle Ren, I won't go! I have to stay at home to fix things..."

Last night, Zhao Xi's explosion burned out all the circuits in the house, and burned out several household appliances. Elizabeth woke up and was busy repairing things. By this time, she had been working happily for two hours: The little girl is now She is no longer the naughty kid who did everything she did in the past. She is worthy of being an imperial princess under the education of Qingying of the Demon Empire. This girl has a strong learning ability, which is due to the experience accumulated in more than a year of disassembly and disassembly. She has studied all kinds of modern electrical appliances, and now she is the professional electrician in Hao Ren's family. Basically, she is responsible for repairing anything that breaks.

"I'm not going either," Yzaks strolled over holding a flower pot. "Lao Li's house across the street went out, and he asked me to take care of the two pots of flowers. It's not easy for me to build a good relationship 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 to take care of the restaurant, and we will not join in the fun. I was eliminated from the Demon Hunter Group a hundred years ago. I will go back a few more times." It doesn’t mean anything.”

So after asking around like this, everyone else in the family actually had their own things to do, and finally they "fucked off" and eagerly followed to join in the fun, and even brought along a little boy who was jumping around and wanted to go out with his father. bean. Hao Ren thought about it and felt that he always left these two at home for various reasons when he went out to do business. Thinking about it, he really neglected them. There was no danger in going to Corpus this time, so he could bring them with him. These two should go and relax.

Of course, considering that Corpus is located in the freezing Arctic region, you need to keep warm if you bring Doudou with you - as a devil-hunting fish with super vitality, although the little one will not be frozen by low temperatures, she only needs to The "racial talent" of starting to hibernate as soon as the temperature drops cannot be changed.

"You are responsible for taking good care of Doudou, and I will take you there," Hao Ren said as he pushed Gun aside. "As long as she is happy, you will have dried fish and canned cats to eat."

"Go away" tilted his head and thought for a while, and successfully equated Dou Dou with his lifelong happiness in his mind, so he immediately hugged the little mermaid with an expression of protection to the death - as a cat, he could sneak into her. There is no one else on this list.

So in the end, those who followed Hao Ren out were Lily and Vivian, plus Doudou and "Gun" who were dressed in soy sauce. Together they happened to be a cat, a dog, a fish and a bat. Hao Ren once again felt that it was too much for him to go out. It's like moving a zoo...

When they left last time, the data terminal had left spatial coordinates near the Ice Fortress. At the same time, Hao Ren also left his own special contact channel with the new demon hunter council, so they sent a message to the Ice Fortress when they set off. After receiving a message, the data terminal directly started the space transmission, sending the group of people to the gate of the ancient castle standing on the Arctic ice cap.

Teleported directly from the warm and comfortable home to the freezing Arctic ice fields, "Gun" immediately sneezed several loudly: Even as a cat demon, she could still feel such a 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 ice wall that reached no 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 the city wall, and was immediately shocked: "Meow...it's impossible to climb this!"

Doudou got his head out of the "roll" collar, and the little mermaid giggled happily when the cold wind blew, and twisted around restlessly: "Big house! Big house!"

"Don't move around." Gun carefully fixed the collar of his clothes to prevent the cold wind from blowing in. "If you move around, I won't have any dried fish to eat!"

"Why do you have to let a cat take care of your daughter?" Vivian glanced at Hao Ren curiously, "Is it because of your bad taste?"

Hao Ren laughed and said, "Because the body temperature of cats is higher than that of humans, Rolling is much warmer than me. This is the Arctic, and Doudou prefers to be with Rolling."

Vivian thought for a while and was shocked: "How do you know how to get yourself warm!?"

Hao Ren covered his forehead: "Where are you thinking - everyone who raises cats knows this, okay?"

Vivian looked away slightly embarrassed: "Oh... mainly because the big dog's voice really impressed me last time..."

Hao Ren: "..."

While Hao Ren and Vivian were chatting, a creaking and friction sound sounded from deep inside the thousand-year-old ice gate of the Ice Fortress. Driven by powerful magic power, the heavy giant ice slowly rose, and a small team Black-clad witcher warriors lined up from the gate to greet visitors.

"Back then, I had a fierce fight with the demon hunters, but when I came here, they lined up to greet me," Vivian muttered in a low voice, "If I had known that we were all members of the same family, why would we be fighting at that time... I Half of the credit for being poor for so many years is due to these grandsons causing trouble."

Lily also muttered in a low voice: "What's the point of always mentioning the past? You killed me once in your previous life. What did I say?"

While he was talking, a small group of demon hunter warriors had already arrived in front of Hao Ren. The leader of the group was an acquaintance: Claude, the former number one attendant of the saint and chief herald of the saint group.

Claude came to Hao Ren and his party and immediately saluted and greeted him warmly: "I'm so glad to see you all again so soon. The elders have received the news and ordered me to receive you."

Lily puffed out her chest and took two steps forward, swishing her tail back and forth to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf (although her tail was really big): "Yeah, your emperor's inspection work is here!"

Hao Ren coughed twice: "Ahem, did you say that about yourself?"

Lily's ears twitched: "Then the late emperor?"

Hao Ren: "..."

Claude: "..."

"Just ignore them both," Vivian pinched her forehead helplessly and waved to Claude, "Lead the way and we'll talk as we walk."

Compared to the last time I visited, the Ice Fortress seems much more lively now. On the stacked walls and staircases full of military fortress style, you can see black-clad demon hunter warriors walking around everywhere, and you can hear voices everywhere inside the fortress. Hear the shouts of the soldiers who are training and the sound of the clash of weapons. Vivian said casually: "After a big battle, this place seems more lively than before."

Claude explained the recent situation: "When you came last time, there was a melee in the Holy Land. Almost all the warriors were fighting in the Corpus space. Only one-third of the defenders were stationed in the Ice Fortress. But now The Alpers space is being rebuilt, and many places cannot be inhabited for the time being, so the remaining Presbyterian Order and some ordinary soldiers can only move to the Ice Fortress, which makes it seem crowded."

After hearing this, Hao Ren murmured in a low voice: "...Most people have temporarily left Corpus. This is a good thing."

"What?" Claude didn't hear clearly.

"Nothing," Hao Ren waved his hand, "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 has to swear an oath not to leave Corpus for the rest of his life. Bar."

"The saint group is gone, so of course the acolytes have also been disbanded," Claude spread his hands, "Now the demon hunters are led by the Council of Elders, and we original acolytes have been disbanded and reorganized into the Council of Elders. In the Council of Elders and various war groups. I joined the Council of Elders and am now the Clerk of the Council - I have the knowledge passed down by more than ten generations of squires in my mind, and this knowledge can be put to use now."

Lily immediately interrupted excitedly: "Hey, I also have ancient knowledge in my mind!"

However, no one paid any attention to her.

"We want to find your top person in charge," Hao Ren said after a few brief greetings, he went straight to the point, "Go to Gregorian and Hasselblad. We have important matters to discuss."
