Chapter 9 The stunned boy was thief in the gentle town, and the old knight bravely helped
Wenrou Town, a small town located in the west of the polar continent, is completely incompatible with the name. It makes people feel gentle at all. It is a place with a dangerous terrain, a cold climate, and a biting sea breeze all year round.
Of course, in the polar continent, the environment is very harsh. If you look around, you will have ice or snow. In contrast, if you can see a living town in the vast snow and ice, anyone will feel as if you have seen the gentle embrace of your mother.
Don’t be surprised that humans will also live in the polar continent where the temperature is below zero all year round. Cold is the greatest wealth here!
First of all, this is the most suitable place in the world for practicing ice magic, and it attracts many water-based mages every year; at the same time, under the low-temperature ice layer here, many ancient creatures from tens of millions of years ago are sealed. Although it is just a pile of frozen meat in the eyes of ordinary people, it is a very precious wealth in the eyes of many scholars.
Of course, if only mages and scholars are interested in this place, this consumption capacity will definitely not support the operation of the town. 99% of the towns are built here and are active for many years are still hunters!
There are also creatures on the polar continent, and the creatures here all have one thing in common, that is, they are cold-resistant!
This means that the fur here is the warmest in the world! In addition, the ice and snow are much cleaner and smoother than the soil, and the animals here seem to be spotless and the white fur color makes countless noble ladies and girls crazy. It is these women who feed thousands of hunters and fur merchants, running around in this cold polar world all year round.
However, today, Wenrou Town welcomed a group of different guests. Unlike hunters wearing thick leather jackets on the street, longbows on their backs, skinning knives on their waists, and northern hunting dogs, the group of people were actually wearing gorgeous and shiny metal armor, without even cotton gloves, just grasping metal weapons, and metal boots on their feet!
Wearing metal armor on the polar continent is basically a dead act. It is heavy and cold. If you have the energy, it is better to bring more food and wear more cotton coats.
As soon as these gorgeous warriors got ashore, they attracted everyone's attention. Some people even secretly thought about how to get some oil from these noble knights who came from somewhere. But when they saw the seals on these people, the sluts immediately dispelled their evil thoughts, and no one doubted their ability to survive!
Paladins, the top warriors on the entire continent, have experienced inhuman rigorous training, and no matter how bitter the cold wind is, they cannot stop them!
That should be...
"Huh, it's really cold here..." Cameron, a handsome blonde, shivered with his arms, and Joan of Arc beside him snorted: "We have cotton linings under our armor. If you don't be so addicted to wine and exercise well, you won't feel cold!"
Cameron touched his shoulder: "Don't compare me with a strange woman like you, I'm skillful!" As he said that, he made a sword-holding posture and stabbed it a few times: "With rapid speed and flexible skills, I can easily defeat the enemy with my style! Skills are based on insight, and training will not improve any improvement!"
After more than four days of voyage, the Paladins finally landed in the port of Wenrou Town. However, before striking the dragon, they still need to purchase some supplies, especially the specialty sled dogs and furs in the Northland. After all, not every warrior is a Paladin. In order to keep warm and maintain physical strength, they need to make sufficient preparations.
The Paladins also have their own tasks and act separately. The old knight Odygus, the female knight Joan of Arc, and the prince of the foil Cameron were walking on the streets of Wenrou Town, going to meet an important figure.
"Hmm?" Suddenly, the old knight Odygus, who was leading the team, stopped and stared forward.
There was a young hunter there who had just walked out of a shop. Seeing the empty burden on his shoulders, he obviously had just completed the transaction and should have made a small profit.
But Odygus was not paying attention to the hunter, but a man with his hands in his pocket, dressed slightly thin and had a mustache. The man walked to the young hunter and bumped his shoulders as if he had deliberately done so.
"Sure!" Odygus narrowed his eyes and stepped out, but unexpectedly, the young hunter had no reaction when he was hit, and the person who hit him seemed to hit the wall, actually bounced back and sat on the ground.
"Are you okay..." The young man was pretty good, so he reached out to pull the beard, and the beard nodded and smiled: "It's okay..." He got up, scratched his head, and smiled and planned to leave.
"Wait!" At this time, Odygus rushed up and grabbed the bearded wrist: "Since it's okay, just return the thing to this little brother!"
"What?" The beard refused to admit his conscience. The young hunter was stunned when he heard this and immediately reached out to touch his waist: "Oh, my purse is gone!"
The sweat fell on the mustache's face, Odygus smiled slightly and pointed to his cuffs: "Tskate and see!"
The mustache did not move, Odygus grabbed his sleeve and shook it, and a heavy purse fell out with a snap. Odygus caught it and shook it. The young hunter looked at it: "This is mine!"
If it were normal, Xiaowang would definitely defend himself, but now, looking at the old man who was holding his majestic, and looking at the paladins wearing gorgeous armor behind him, even if they didn't know him, they knew that these people were not easy to mess with!
"Get out!" Odygus shook his hand, let the thief go, and handed the wallet to the hunter: "Young man, there are at least twenty gold coins here, and you can earn so much, which means that you are very capable. But in this mixed place, you must be careful in everything, otherwise the hard-earned hard-earned money will be cheaper for others!"
The young hunter hurriedly thanked him, took the purse and opened it, and took out two of them: "Uncle, thank you, this is my little wish. You always buy some wine!"
Odygus was stunned and laughed: "No need, I never drink alcohol. You should take this money back to support your family!"
The young man thanked again and turned around and was about to leave. At this time, Cameron suddenly stopped in front of him, with a playful smile: "Little brother, have you practiced some special martial arts?"
The young hunter was slightly stunned and shook his head and said, "No, why do you say that?"
Cameron rubbed his chin: "I see the way you walk is a little different from that of ordinary people? I can't say where it is, but I just feel a little awkward, it's like... a skeleton with human skin!"
Hearing this, the young hunter laughed: "Is this a new popular joke?"
Odygus also smiled slightly: "Cameron, strictly speaking, each of us is a skeleton with human skin. Okay, don't make things difficult for this young man. It's important for us to do a serious matter!" As he said that, he led the two people to say goodbye to the hunter and continued to walk forward.
After walking more than ten meters, Joan of Arc frowned and whispered: "Teacher, I also think that person's posture is a bit weird, and although I don't want to admit it, Cameron's description is indeed very appropriate!"
Odygus smiled: "Then have you smelled any undead magic from him?"
"This..." Joan of Arc and Cameron shook their heads
"You can't just look at the surface in everything!" Odygus smiled and said, "No matter how weird his posture is, no matter what the strange reason is, as long as he is not a necrotic creature and will not harm others, then you don't have to worry about him!"
"What's more, we have more important things to do!"
…………
Turning a street corner, the young hunter leaned against the wall and wiped the cold sweat from his head.
"So keen, I almost showed my sagging!"
That’s right, this young hunter is Zhao Qiankun!
After reorganizing his luggage and leaving the castle, he quickly found Wenrou Town with the extraordinary power of the Kong Skeleton. After briefly inquiring about the news, he learned that furs could be exchanged for money here, he plunged back into the depths of the continent without hesitation.
Although he had only had the experience of fighting rabbits in his previous life, Zhao Qiankun still hunted two snow bears with his extraordinary physical ability. This beast is the most common large carnivore in the polar continent. It looks similar to the polar bears on the earth, but it is larger in size. It stands up to more than five meters and weighs more than two tons. The power of the bear paw can easily smash the head of a bison. Human armor and shields look like paper in front of them. Ordinary bows and arrows are difficult to shoot through their thick fur! So for most hunters, they are more willing to hunt animals such as snow foxes, snow wolfs and ferrets that are easy to deal with, and they dare not provoke snow bears.
This also makes the skin of the snow bear the most expensive and rarest fur. An ordinary snow bear skin can be sold for more than three gold coins. If there are no holes or damage, the complete skin of the adult snow bear is worth ten gold coins!
And this is Zhao Qiankun's specialty, because he doesn't need swords or bows to hunt, and those are just decorations that make him look more like hunters. These two snow bears were strangled to death by him...
Just kidding, even the ancient dragon's chrysanthemums dare to explode, so what's the point of being a mere two snow bears!
When Zhao Qiankun put two high-quality snow bear skins in front of the boss of the fur shop, the old man wearing glasses looked at them for twenty minutes. How long has it been since he seen such a good-quality fur!
"Ten gold coins!" The boss saw that Zhao Qiankun was a young man, so he swallowed his saliva and offered a price.
"What?" Zhao Qiankun seemed very shocked. He didn't know the price of fur. He just heard that fur can be exchanged for money here, so he ran back and found two creatures that he didn't run away and strangled to death and peeled them. He didn't expect it to be so valuable!
But the boss thought he had met a veteran and was afraid that the other party would change his mind, so he quickly changed his words: "I mean a ten gold coins!"
Chapter completed!
