Chapter 307 On the Road

After waiting for Bresini to fly back and confirm that the mercenaries had indeed left, Herot slowly returned to the campfire.

The businessman diligently brought a plate of hot ham and slices of bread: "Master Mage, have the Ice Road Mercenary Group left?"

Herot sat down by the campfire, took the plate, and ate it with his hands. He then took the kettle from the merchant and took a big sip.

"Those mercenaries have left! How many more days will it take to reach the iceberg and snow peaks?"

The businessman sat down next to Hailot and stretched out his hand to light the fire: "If there are no accidents on the way, it will take about fifteen to twenty days."

"Can the time be shortened?"

The businessman said in embarrassment: "Master Mage, we also want to reach the iceberg and snow peaks quickly. If the heavy snow blocks all the roads, we will be trapped and die in the wilderness. But horses cannot travel for a long time, and it is difficult to pull a cart in the snow. They are very physically demanding.”

While Helot was eating, he also observed the caravan.

Including the merchant, there were nine people, fifteen sleighs, and ten horses.

Horses are long-maned horses that are a specialty of Northern Xinjiang. They are cold-resistant and adaptable to the extreme climate of Northern Xinjiang. They are powerful and have good endurance. They are the main livestock for farming and transportation in Northern Xinjiang.

One long-maned horse can pull two sleds. Considering the weight of the cargo, these ten long-maned horses should be the ideal ratio. After all, for businessmen, redundant transport capacity means increased costs and reduced profits.

Helot pointed to the flint giant outside the camp: "Can I use it to pull a few sleds to increase the speed?"

The businessman looked at the flint giant, his eyes showing fear.

Even when sitting on the ground, this big guy is much taller than an adult. The flames converged, and the stones that made up the body glowed red, exuding a strong sense of oppression.

I don’t know how powerful a mage who can summon such a powerful fire giant is.

"Of course you can increase the speed."

The merchant answered hastily, fearing to offend the mysterious mage who suddenly appeared.

"Very good! I hope to reach the iceberg and snow peaks within seven days." Helot finished the last food on the plate, took another sip of water, and said, "There are magic traps I have placed around the camp. The fire giants will kill them." Everything that comes close. Don’t let your people run around, go to bed quickly and be on your way tomorrow morning.”

After saying that, Helot fell to the ground and fell asleep, and the blanket spread out automatically to cover him.

The businessman was left with a grimace on his face.

It takes seven days to reach the iceberg and snow peaks, and we have to walk more than double the normal distance every day. This is Northern Xinjiang, and people will die if they rush so hard.

But what?

Leaving the protection of this mage is a dead end. The only way to survive is to go to the iceberg and snow peaks.

Consideration should be given to giving up some goods.

The businessman looked at the sled loaded with goods, thinking about what to throw here, but no matter what he gave up, his heart ached.

Scattered snow started to fall again, and the north wind was still biting.

The next day, as soon as there was a glimmer of light in the eastern sky, Helot and the caravan were ready to set off.

There was an iron chain tied around the waist of the flint giant, and there were a series of sleds behind it, seven in total. The other sleds were all pulled by at least one horse, and the caravan members all sat on the sleds, wrapping themselves tightly.

After Helot determined the direction from the merchant, he rode at the front of the caravan.

There were a few boxes left in the camp last night, which were soon covered by heavy snow, and the bonfire was slowly extinguished in the snow.

About two hours later, a group of riders approached despite the wind and snow.

They were the Ice Road mercenary group that left last night. They tracked the caravan exactly when it would set off. Half of the mercenaries spread out to search for traces left by the caravan, while the other half entered the camp to search.

The snow-covered box was quickly discovered.

The old mercenary used his sleeves to sweep away the snow on the box, then wielded his heavy sword and chopped the wooden box, and white particles spilled out. The old mercenary grabbed some pellets with his hands and put them in his mouth, and said happily: "It's candy!"

After saying that, the old mercenary grabbed a lot of candy and poured it into his mouth.

When other mercenaries heard that there was candy, they all ran over to grab the candy and eat it, enjoying the sweetness in their mouths.

A mercenary said: "Captain, should we pursue him?"

The old mercenary looked to the north, unable to see anything in the vast expanse of white, and then said: "That mage is indeed alone! There are times when lone wolves can't help but sleep, so we will follow them, as long as there is a chance... … Those spices and salt that are more valuable than sugar are ours!”

The mercenaries shouted loudly and stuffed two more handfuls of candies into their mouths.

When the tracking mercenary came back, the old mercenary ordered all the boxes to be buried, and then led the mercenary group to pursue the traces left by the caravan.

The galloping horses' hooves splashed with snowflakes.

Just after the mercenaries disappeared into the heavy snow on their horses, several bulges rose up from the snow outside the camp. The bulge cracked open, and a group of crawling ice figurines crawled out from underneath.

"Master orders: Kill all pursuers!"

"Master orders: Kill all pursuers!"

"Master orders: Kill all pursuers!"

…

The crawling ice figurines followed the traces left by the mercenaries on the snow and chased them all the way.

On the snow in northern Xinjiang, caravan sleds formed a long line.

The flint giant dragged seven sleds at the front of the team. The snow kept falling on it, melted, and turned into white steam rising.

After experiencing several soul exchanges with the stars, Helot's mental exhaustion was so serious that he could not insist on walking at the front of the team, so he had to go back to a sled to rest.

The lineage discussion group hosted by Starry Sky had a major breakthrough.

Eselia used the existing tungsten needle runes to derive a large framework for the sealing formation. Now, all the immortal mages in the entire Immortal Association who have studied sealing formations have been brought into the discussion group by her to fill in the large framework of this formation.

Based on Melis' case and the drugs she was using, Harry Kalang prepared a warming potion that could greatly improve her resistance to severe cold. If used in conjunction with vampire tears, Melis' condition can be stabilized.

But for a true cure, there must be blood sampling, and lots of it.

In short, Melis must be found as soon as possible.

"Mage! Master Mage!"

Herot was awakened from meditation, and he said to the businessman riding a sleigh with him: "What is it?"

After walking with Hailot for a day, the businessman lost his initial restraint: "My name is Shakas Usman, you can call me Usman. I run a condiment shop on the iceberg snow peak. If you are on the iceberg, If you have no friends in Xuefeng, you can stay with me."

Usman has been impressed by Helot's strength. Being able to maintain the existence of a fire giant throughout the day is enough to prove the terrifying magic energy reserves possessed by its summoner.

Level 2 Extraordinary!

Usman made a bold guess about the strength of the young mage beside him.

If you can make friends with this powerful mage, the few boxes of candy you throw away will be a negligible loss.

Helot also introduced himself: "My name is... I can't tell you my name, but you can call me Bonebreaker."

Bonebreaker?

A very strange mage calling himself.

But seeing the fire giant in front of him, the name Bone Crusher Mage is indeed very vivid.

"Bonebreaker Mage...you said you want to go to the polar regions for adventure?"

"Yes. Cold is the training of fire. I want to complete the sublimation of my flame core by hunting the cold demon."

"What a touching and inspiring story. I think you will definitely become a new legend in the polar regions." Businessman Usman praised Hailot without hesitation: "But if you want to go deep into the polar regions, you also need a set of adventure equipment and a A polar guide.

I can sponsor this adventure for you. "

Usman decided to invest in this promising fire magician. He believed that as long as the Bonebreaker could come back alive from the Pole, he would be able to bring him a return several times greater than his investment.

Helot did not respond directly to Usman, after all, he was not short of money.

So Helot changed the topic: "I saw that you would rather throw away the candy than those mechanical parts. It seems that those things are very important to you."

Usman did not expect that Helot would open such a sensitive topic.

He smiled awkwardly and said to cover up: "There are many people on the iceberg and snow peaks who are very interested in outside things, so they entrusted me to buy some small metal toys."

Helot didn't intend to let Usman go just like that: "The linear flow rate stroke tube is not a small metal toy. This thing uses a lot of magic metal and is an accessory needed for high-end machine tools."

Usman's smile became even more embarrassing: "I, I don't know what the stroke tube you are talking about is. I will buy whatever the customer asks me to buy. Bone Crusher, you seem to have a lot of research on mechanics?"

"I have learned a little bit." Helot did not continue to reveal his knowledge of mechanics and asked instead: "Isn't your customer afraid that Duke Erwin will find out about his purchase of mechanical products?

I think people who will buy high-end machine tools should have certain financial resources and power in the iceberg and snow peaks. "

Usman's smile was stiff and his expression turned very ugly.

"Bonebreaker Mage, please don't go into details about who bought these things. It will not be good for you, and it will harm me. I won't disturb your rest. I will change a sled."

Usman did not dare to continue chatting with Helot. He jumped off the sled and rolled on the snow, got up and jumped onto the sled behind.

Herot, who was not disturbed, smiled and lay on the cargo behind him. He wrapped the blanket tightly around his body and closed his eyes to receive the information from the stars.
