Chapter 511: Icelandic Horror (45)
Yu Hehui felt depressed, but Bingyi didn't care. Anyway, there was the myth of the strongest sword, the sword of the Nordic god of war Tyr. He had been thinking about how to get this sword and how to explore the scenic spots in depth. Although Wei Xun's sword was easy to use, Bingyi had a better goal, so why bother to compete with Wei Xun for a sword.
It was unnecessary.
"We will set off on time at 8:30 and take a car to Thingvellir National Park, which takes about an hour."
As soon as I entered the restaurant, I heard B1 talking about today's itinerary with the passengers in his team while eating.
"Everyone remember to pack your things. Tonight we will stay at the Glacier Adventure Hotel under the Grange Glacier and will not go back to the Blue Lake Volcanic Lava Hotel."
The two teams still acted together, and Shaoyuan and others also listened while eating. Bing saw that B1 spoke well and there was nothing he needed to add, so he simply took the plate to get the food, and Yu Hehu jumped out of his hood and took the marching kettle to get hot water.
Most hotels in Iceland provide breakfast and hot water, but the hotel breakfast buffet has few varieties. Bingyi came back from a walk, and on the plate were two bowls of oatmeal soaked in milk, two bowls of Icelandic yogurt (skyr), a stack of Icelandic black bread, and two Icelandic fish oil capsules for each person.
"You can't eat hot sauce for breakfast."
Yu Hehui, who came back with hot water, saw that Wei Xun was not interested. He used a spoon to scoop up oatmeal soaked in milk with maple syrup, fruit pieces and cream. When he saw him coming, his eyes lit up. But after Yu Hehui gently refused, the light in Wei Xun's eyes disappeared immediately.
"It's too light."
Bingyi complained: "The maple syrup is so sweet."
He glanced at Yu Hehui for a few times, wanting to say something but stopping himself. Seeing that he was unmoved, Bingyi simply looked at Wei Xun - he still remembered that the bottle of hot sauce that tasted pretty good yesterday was given to him by Wei Xun.
As a result, Bingyi saw Wei Xun looking at him as well. Bingyi smiled and was interested to see Wei Xun's expression suddenly stiffened, and he felt a little helpless.
"Do you want to eat?"
He was eating breakfast absent-mindedly. In fact, from the moment Bingyi entered the restaurant, all his attention was on him. As a result, An Xuefeng, who was caught peeking, felt that his response was really lame. If he had turned his head suddenly to avoid his gaze, it would have been even more obvious. If he had not turned his head and stared at him, it would have been too stupid.
With a sudden thought, An Xuefeng handed over the small bag of Wujiang pickled mustard tuber that he had just torn open and was about to eat.
How can you travel abroad without pickled mustard tuber! This bag of pickled mustard tuber was also contributed by Shaoyuan, and An Xuefeng liked it very much. When there was a task in the bureau and no time to eat, he often took his team members to eat instant noodles with pickled mustard tuber, ham sausage and a braised egg.
But not everyone likes to eat it. An Xuefeng regretted handing over the pickled mustard as soon as he handed it over. He was thinking wildly in his mind. Moreover, he had torn the pickled mustard into pieces. Bingyi was such a germaphobe, but he didn't know...
"Eat."
An Xuefeng's thoughts came to an abrupt end amidst the cheerful and happy words. He watched Bingyi take the pickled mustard without hesitation, smiled at him, and turned back to eat.
"Ahem."
Yu Hehui coughed lightly, watching An Xuefeng's eyes quickly change from shock to restrained emotions, pretending nothing happened and turning back to eat, but the tip of his ears turned slightly red - hey, so interesting! Yu Hehui finally understood why Banming Daoren liked taking pictures so much. He wished he had a camera in his hand so that he could take a good vlog for Captain An. He knew what the young Captain An was thinking without even looking at him.
'He actually ate the food in my hand (handed to him). Does he trust me so much! '
'No, could it be a test? ’
‘Bingyi likes to eat pickled mustard tuber, maybe I can start from there in the future...Diet is very important’
‘Tsk, I tore the pickled mustard tuber, hey! ’
Yu Hehui sighed in his heart, looking at An Xuefeng, the young captain still showed some emotions, young, too easy to be manipulated by Bingyi.
“Would you like some?”
Yu Hehui thought while eating, and was a little absent-minded. As a result, Bingyi thought he had no appetite, so he took the initiative to pour him half a plate of pickled mustard tuber and shared it with him.
Yu Hehui:? !
“You
eat it, it’s not that I don’t have an appetite for breakfast…”
He whispered, but Bingyi smiled: “There are a lot of pickled mustard tubers, you can eat it too. You didn’t sleep well last night, you worked hard.”
“Yeah.”
Yu Hehui felt relieved when he heard it. Before, there was the rule of never betraying after resurrection, and there was more tacit understanding between him and Wei Xun that did not need to be said. But Wei Xun had amnesia during the Iceland trip this time. He must still be uneasy about him, so he often tried to win him over and often gave him some "sweet treats". Yu Hehui was quite happy with it and even looked forward to it happily.
The atmosphere between the two was very harmonious. An Xuefeng, who had been paying attention to the situation here, looked at Yu Hehui and sighed in his heart.
Yu Hehui had been completely controlled by Bingyi. From the beginning to the end, An Xuefeng tried to contact him and found that Yu Hehui did not have any emotions such as missing his family, depression, and anxiety. Instead, he was wholeheartedly thinking about Bingyi.
He could eat even half a bag of pickled mustard so happily. Bingyi had already had a deep control over his mind.
An Xuefeng felt it was difficult, but he also knew that the more this happened, the more he could not contact Yu Hehui privately, otherwise he would definitely alert the enemy.
The key was still Bingyi.
"Alas."
Miranda, who was sitting far away on the other side, looked at Wei Xun and sighed numbly in her heart.
How should I put it? When she woke up in the morning and saw that Wei Xun's SAN value, who had just recovered his memory, had dropped to 40, she was not surprised at all.
It's normal, it's normal.
Retracting her gaze, Miranda looked at Yu Xiangyang, and used his SAN value, which was still at 95, to feast his eyes.
"Do you know why the place we are going to today is called the Golden Circle?"
B1 was still talking nonstop to fulfill his duties as a tour guide, and even took on the responsibility of introducing the two teams directly because he saw Bingyi eating.
"I know Guide B."
The lively Yin Guangyuan answered very actively: "The three famous attractions in Iceland, the old meeting site, the big geyser and the Golden Falls, are scattered on a ring road, so it is called the Golden Circle*"
The Golden Circle means the Golden Tourism Circle.
"That's right, but the focus of our itinerary today is the old conference site. We won't take a close look at the Great Geyser and the Golden Falls."
B1 said with a smile: "The old conference site park is also called Thingvellir National Park. In addition to the old conference site, there is also Lake Thingvallavatr, the largest natural lake in Iceland, located deep in the Eurasian Rift Valley. Today we will dive in the Silfra Fissure, which is named after the Icelandic 'Silver Lady', deep in Lake Thingvallavatr. "
The Silfra Fissure diving that B1 mentioned is naturally a tourist project of his team.
"After breakfast, I will issue fishing cards to everyone after we get on the bus."
Bingyi took the opportunity to take over the topic: "There are a lot of Arctic salmon in Lake Thingvallavatr. It is said that someone has caught a two-meter-long Arctic salmon... I don't know if the rumor is true or not."
Two-meter-long salmon, diving in the Silfra Fissure, the passengers from the Miranda camp and the Shaoyuan camp exchanged glances with their companions after hearing this.
This is what the itinerary information mentioned, 'Drive around the Golden Circle, catch a two-meter-long salmon in Lake Thingvalla, put on a diving suit and dive deep into the Silfra Fissure, what are the crying salmon and the lake water?' It seems that this is the most difficult attraction in today's journey.
B1 and Bingyi talked a few more words. In addition to snorkeling in the Silfra Fissure and fishing in the wild lake, there are also Icelandic horse riding, visiting the ruins of the Icelandic Parliament, riding a snowmobile across the second largest glacier in Iceland, Grundjokull, at an altitude of 1,450 meters, and going to the Glacier Adventure Hotel under Grundjokull.
"Guide Bing, can we go to Thingvellir Church?"
Sister Maria asked expectantly, and the son Danlin's eyes lit up. Thingvellir Church is the first church in Iceland. It is a pure wooden building located behind the Tingvallabair farmhouse in the Great Rift Valley.
"Of course."
Bingyi smiled and replied: "After this morning, we will have free time first, and fishing in the wild lake will be arranged after lunch."
"We want to go too!"
Shaoyuan said without hesitation.
* *
"The church should involve
additional attractions or tasks."
After finishing breakfast at the hotel and packing up, the two teams left the Volcano Lava Hotel at 8:30 and boarded the tourist bus. The bus driver was Big George who volunteered. Perhaps because no one was in a horse state now, Big George looked like a normal person, nodding to everyone amiably. Only when he saw Bing Yi, his eyes still sparkled, but he did not do anything dangerous, so everyone pretended not to see it.
The journey to the Golden Circle this time took about an hour. After getting on the bus, the two teams of passengers did not sit on the left and right respectively. Under Shao Yuan's instigation, Walker and others naturally grabbed the front row, while Miranda and others could not compete and went to the back row. From knowing the specific content of the attractions at breakfast to arriving at the attractions, the one hour on the bus was the only remaining discussion time, and the two teams naturally could not let it go. Moreover, each team used various means to prevent the other party from hearing their voices.
"Come on, sit inside."
When the car was about to start, a woman wrapped in many clothes, wearing a hat and scarf, hurriedly got on the car, which attracted George's doubtful glance. Before he could take a closer look, Shao Yuan and others welcomed Miao Fangfei to the innermost part - there was a tall and strong Walker blocking the way outside to ensure that no one could see what was happening inside.
After Director C issued fishing license cards to everyone, Shao Yuan whispered to Miao Fangfei what the tour guide said in the restaurant in the morning, and then mentioned the church again.
"Thingvellir Church is open from June to August every year. It is now mid-October, and we should not be able to enter the church."
Unless the church they can enter is not a normal church.
"It is said that Thingvellir Church was built in the eleventh century, but was destroyed by the curse of the evil wizard. The current church can only be traced back to 1859, and it is said that the new church was built two hundred years ago, but encountered many setbacks during the construction process."
The Golden Circle is almost a must-see attraction in Iceland. Shao Yuan memorized a lot of information compiled by Bai Xiaosheng before setting off. "
"The witch curse is a legend, but in the small crack on the eastern edge of the ruins of the Icelandic Parliament in the Great Rift Valley, nine men accused of witchcraft were burned at the stake in the 17th century*"
Miao Fangfei understood, and she also carried a basket of information on the subject before she set off.
"Two hundred years before 1859, it was the 17th century. I suspect this attraction is related to witches, the 11th century old church, and the stake."
"You have to be careful."
Miao Fangfei lowered her voice and reminded: "Don't be identified as a witch by the Icelandic residents."
"Miranda, you and I must be extra careful when snorkeling."
In the back row of the bus, Miranda and others were also discussing this matter. The atmosphere in their team was unusually low today, because Director C did not say that he would lead the team to go diving today.
Which is more dangerous, fishing or diving? Isn’t this obvious? Today is a scenic spot on the mainland. The degree of danger is calculated based on the average strength of the East District passengers in the team. Looking at the top East District bosses in the team, Miranda, who is so worried, even feels that Wei Xun has become more handsome - at least he is just High-end travelers!
The tragic situation during the whale watching trip is still vivid in my mind. If there is no guide team C to neutralize it today, what will their team do? And even if they are neutralized, the difficulty of reaching the standard for the two teams is completely different.
"It is a difficulty but also an opportunity."
When Miranda saw Phillip sighing and the team was in a low mood, she immediately said coldly: "We are lucky enough!"
Yes, they were lucky enough to participate in an almost peak-level attraction on the first day but all of them survived. The evening duel that was supposed to be a sure-winner turned into a big brawl between brigades in which the group could not attack each other. To this day, they are still alive. It's the next day, and still no one is dead.
And after one day, their strength has basically increased by several percent! New titles, precious items, it is no exaggeration to say that what you earn from the attractions in one day can last for several trips!
"Yes, Miranda is right. Although Director B and the others don't go snorkeling, they are fishing in the same lake as us."
Roger was simple-minded, but he cheered up the fastest. He said optimistically: "I think the difficulty can be shared a little, and we are really lucky. How has the devil businessman ever led a team without someone dying on the first day!"
Although the Devil Merchant is not a butcher tour guide, it is common for him to lead a group to death. Like a ghost alienated
The tour guide's behavior is so unlucky, the difficulty can easily be increased, and the team members can easily become "ghosts" along with the tour guide.
Fool.
Miranda glanced at Roger inexplicably, and met the eyes of Betty, who was also speechless in his arms. The two quite opposite women found a common language for the first time.
Could it be that there were no deaths in the team because of the devil businessman? Don’t even look at them being on the same team as that tour guide! The mortality rate in Director B's team is terrifyingly low. All members of Zuimei Xiangxi survived, and not many died in the funeral palace in the suburbs of Beijing. Moreover, the deaths were all caused by oneself.
With tour guides, it also depends on luck. Maybe too many tourists were killed by those who wanted to kill them, so Guide B came to neutralize the situation.
Anyway, even if she didn't agree with teaming up at first, Miranda has remained silent now - teaming up can only be good for them, and from today onwards, almost all of them will be land-based attractions. It would be better to neutralize or lower the difficulty.
Several people began to sort out the dangers of today's attractions. Inspired by Maria's mention of the church, Charlie also mentioned the story of the wizard who was burned to death. At this time, Betty suddenly thought of something. She glanced at Miranda and hesitated for a moment. , or took the initiative to mention it.
"Miranda, you and I need to be extra careful when snorkeling."
Betty said seriously: "Not only were men burned to death near the site of the Icelandic Parliament, but women were also drowned."
The drowning pool near the Aksafoss waterfall on the northern edge of the Icelandic parliament site was used to drown women convicted of infanticide, adultery and other serious crimes*
And Miranda and the others had another Rift Valley diving attraction today - the connection between drowning and diving was too deep. Looking at the 'diving license' issued by the devil merchant in her hand, Miranda was really worried.
On the contrary, the wizard who ended up being 'burned to death' might have escaped being burned to death if he had dived.
"There are also salmon, we have to pay attention too."
Miranda said: "Director B said that there are a huge number of Arctic salmon in the lake, and there are even two-meter-long giant fish. We are in the same lake, and we are very likely to encounter fish schools."
If a two-meter-long giant fish or a school of fish collides with it, it will definitely scatter them and even knock people unconscious.
Once you faint during a deep dive, the consequences are absolutely fatal.
"Okay, we've arrived at our destination, it's time to get off the car!"
Time was running out, and the two teams finished discussing the big points and started discussing the details, but at this moment, the bus stopped, and Big George's kind and happy greeting sounded.
"Isn't this the place yet?"
Walker, who had been dozing on the road, was woken up and asked dissatisfiedly. Miao Fangfei and others also looked at the time. It had just arrived at 9:10, so there should be still twenty minutes to drive.
"We've arrived at the stables."
I heard Big George happily say: "This is my stable - George Stable. It is the largest family-run stable in Iceland with a long history! It is full of the best Icelandic horses. It turns out that it is only provided to the Icelandic Horse Thoroughbred Association." Members, it’s actually an exception for you to ride a horse.”
As he spoke, he looked at Bingyi "affectionately", and of course everyone knew what this "exception" was about.
"I know that there is also an activity to rent Icelandic horses for riding in the park. You originally wanted to ride horses in the park."
Big George said proudly: "But the horses there are not as good as mine. I can also provide packages to the park. Seriously, aren't you really ready to give it a try? I have the best Icelandic horses here." !”
The finest Icelandic horses!
A spin-off mission from the Nordic mythology system of the eight-legged horse!
Big George's strong recommendation made Miao Fangfei, Miranda and others' eyes light up. Miao Fangfei looked at Director C, Miranda looked at the devil businessman, and the devil businessman looked at director C - cough cough. Finally everyone reached an agreement and got out of the car and headed to Big George's stables.
This is a group of low wooden buildings, so quiet that no sound can be heard. Apparently the horses in George's stable are really good and don't bark. When they approached, a very beautiful black Icelandic horse trotted out. Welcome, from the body frame to every inch of muscle, it is perfect, the big eyes are as gentle and cute as spirituality, and the flowing horse mane is extremely beautiful.
"Go! Go! Go."
But poor Icelandic Magang
When he ran over, he was shushed and pushed away by Big George, who even looked back nervously at Bingyi. He looked as if he was afraid that the little white horse would be blinded and abducted.
His behavior made Miranda's heart move.
This black Icelandic horse seemed perfect to her, but obviously, Big George definitely had a better horse!
But how do you choose a good horse, and what qualifications do you need to choose the best horse?
Seeing that Big George did not take them to the stables, but instead walked to a low wooden house at the front, Miranda was moved, grabbed Charlie and whispered: "Give me all your UnionPay credit cards."
"Apple is a good horse. You can go to the stables to the east and pick for free later. There are all horses as good as Apple."
Seeing the black Icelandic horse running away, Big George sighed, while Miao Fangfei keenly captured a key word.
‘Free picks! ’
“So how do you pick the best horse?”
She also had the mark of being of "impure blood", so she couldn't speak directly, so she let Shao Yuan take the initiative to ask questions.
Big George smiled, and then said solemnly: "There is an old saying, if you love it, you have to spend money for it."
"I have a lot of horses that are better than apples. But it depends on you if you want to let them go!"
really!
Miao Fangfei, Miranda and their companions looked at each other with awe in their hearts.
When arriving in Iceland, the hotel issued a UnionPay credit card to everyone, each containing 10,000 Icelandic kronor. Sure enough, money is useful! What Big George means is that the more money you have, the better the horse is. Of course, the most money you can have is the money of all the people in a team combined!
"Hiss, we don't have enough money."
Yin Guangyuan suddenly took a breath of air and whispered. He and Miao Fangfei bought Icelandic fish oil in the Old Port and spent a full 10,000 kronor. And Miranda and others have probably not spent any money yet, which means that the total amount of money they have is definitely more than them!
“I can’t get enough money together!”
On the other side, Miranda and others were also worried. They were also aware of their advantages, but before they were happy, a difficult problem loomed before them - Team C was relatively united. Director C said that all members should hand in their UnionPay credit cards, and Walker and others would most likely do so honestly.
But it's different in their team. When Miranda said to collect money, Yu Xiangyang and others would never listen!
This way their advantage is gone!
"I have an idea."
Big George was urging, and there was no time to make any more decisions. Miranda took a deep breath, looked at everyone, and said to herself:
"If someone in our team receives the mission of the Eight-Legged Horse, our whole team will benefit from it."
"If you don't go out, you won't get anything. If you go out, you will have a chance."
"What chance do we have? The five of us can't compete with our combined money."
Roger complained that he didn't understand yet, but from the look in Betty's and Charlie's eyes, Miranda knew they did.
"Would he agree?"
Betty whispered.
"The best horses will have a close relationship with Director C."
Miranda said to her like a charade: "He will say yes."
Betty looked at her for a while, and finally nodded slowly. Although Roger was still confused and shouted, "What are you talking about?" ’, but it doesn’t matter, Betty has his credit card. After Miranda collected her five credit cards, she decisively walked towards Wei Xun.
"You said give me the card?"
An Xuefeng raised his eyebrows and looked at the five credit cards handed over by Miranda.
"That's right."
Miranda responded: "You are the captain, everyone listens to you."
Yes, this is the only solution Miranda thought of! Yu Xiangyang and the others listened to Wei Xun. Wei Xun was the captain. Only he could collect all the credit cards of everyone in the team. The captain had an extra limit, a total of 20,000 Icelandic kronor. Plus the others, the total amount was 110,000. Icelandic Krona, which is definitely the largest amount of money to rent the best Icelandic horses!
Although in this way, most of the money would be taken by Wei Xun, and they were just like the unjust people who used their own money to make Wei Xun's wedding clothes. But as a brigade, if Wei Xun can really complete the mission of the Eight-Legged Horse's derivative attraction, they will definitely make a profit.
is with
Eat soup together, or keep the money for yourself?
Miranda suddenly made a choice, and An Xuefeng looked at her with a hint of appreciation.
This woman is very courageous.
but……
"No need."
He shook his head and handed the card back to Miranda.
What, is Wei Xun just looking towards Bingyi? ? You haven't recovered your memory yet and you just want Bingyi to lead the team to win? ? Miranda felt anxious and was about to speak when she saw Wei Xun sighing:
"The money in Team C is beyond our comparison."
"How can it be."
Miranda thought this was an excuse, suppressed her anxiety, and patiently persuaded her.
But at this moment, I heard a voice from Bingyi: "Two hundred thousand Icelandic kronor, rent the best horse."
Hearing that they all started renting horses, Miranda became even more anxious: "How can their money compare to ours! Look, it's only 200,000 Icelandic kronor - huh?"
Miranda was stunned.
Why does Bingyi have 200,000 Icelandic kronor? ?
Could it be that the UnionPay cards of both their teams ended up in his hands at some point? ?
"Bingyi has more than 200,000 Icelandic kronor."
An Xuefeng was a little depressed and touched his pocket.
Yesterday at the Old Port, he beat up Big George who came over from the alley and searched him. He found ten Icelandic UnionPay credit cards on him, all of which were gold cards, with a total of nearly 500,000 Icelandic kronor.
However, he didn't know what happened to these ten gold cards, and they were all given to Bingyi last night!
What's going on? An Xuefeng was simply unbelievable. Sure enough, Bingyi gave him a drug!
"Director Bing, you are really rich!"
Walker admired. Just now, Miao Fangfei and the others came to collect the money, and Walker hesitated, feeling sorry for his money and didn't want to hand it over. As a result, who would have thought that Director Bing would quietly bid for two gold cards, 200,000 kronor!
Director Bing is really a rich man!
