Chapter 25: Back to Gentleness

The polar continent covers an area of ​​more than 8 million square kilometers and is covered with thick ice and snow all year round. The average temperature is below minus fifty degrees!

When such a piece of land, completely snow-white, towering glaciers slowly emerged from the horizon, Cinderia and Wilson were speechless at all!

It was a scene they had never seen before!

Under the reflection of the night, there is a pure white without a trace of variegated white!

"It seems...a big piece of sugar cake..."

After being stunned for a full minute, Cinderia made a somewhat funny but seemingly appropriate metaphor...

"This is the first continent I have ever seen!" Zhao Qiankun couldn't help but be recalled: "The polar landscape is magnificent, dead silent, without a trace of fireworks, but it is so cold that it is so cold that it is life-threatening!"

While speaking, the wooden bird had crossed the North Sea and officially entered the sky above the polar continent. Looking down from the window, there was only a dazzling white area!

Soon, the temperature in the bird's belly began to slowly decrease. As soon as he came from the tropics, thinly dressed Cinderia and Wilson couldn't help but shivered, and the air was filled with white mist...

"It's really a bit cold here!" Zhao Qiankun grew some fluff on the inner wall of the bird's belly, which played a warming role. Then he grew a pile of dry wood from the ground in the middle, rubbing and igniting each other, covering a flame-resistant wooden shell outside, and a tube was released from the top, draining the smoke outside the wooden bird's body, making a simple stove, which finally raised the temperature.

"Even if the bird's belly is warm, your equipment will become popsicles when you go out!" Zhao Qiankun curled his lips: "Let's get two sets of clothes first!"

As he said that, the wooden bird suddenly changed course and flew all the way west.

On the way, I suddenly saw a huge snow bear running past the ground. Zhao Qiankun controlled the wooden bird to swoop down. His two bird claws directly grabbed the snow bear. He broke his neck with a click, and then carried it and continued to fly west.

Not long after, a small town leaning against the sea appeared on the horizon.

"Are there inhabited here?" The Babylonians from the tropical regions could not understand how humans survived in such a cold place!

"Of course!" Zhao Qiankun smiled confidently: "You must believe that there is no place in this world that humans cannot conquer!"

As he spoke, the town was getting closer and closer. Zhao Qiankun controlled the big bird and flapped his wings and slowly landed. However, the sudden appearance of the giant scared the residents of the town to flee in scattered. Many people dressed in hunters took out their bows and arrows, drew out daggers, and prepared to fight.

These people are experienced fur hunters who make a living by hunting creatures from the polar continent and selling furs. This is Wenrou Town, the first human settlement to which Zhao Qiankun came after his birth!

Faced with the many vigilant hunters, Zhao Qiankun did not pay much attention to them, but instead manipulated the giant bird, held the body of the snow bear in his mouth, and walked a somewhat funny step to a shop.

The plaque of the shop reads in a common language: "Old Hunter Skin Fur Acquisition!"

It was also the place where Zhao Qiankun sold snow bear skin for the first time!

But at this time, Old Hunter saw the giant bird, closed the door and locked it early, and shivered in the room.

Zhao Qiankun controlled the giant bird to put down the snow bear and knocked on the door with his mouth, but it didn't open inside. In desperation, he used a little force and pecked the thick door panel with a click!

"Wow!" Old Hunter's scream came from the door: "Don't eat me, I'm not delicious, don't eat me!"

"I'm not here to eat you, I'm here to do business!"

When the old Hunter heard the wooden bird speak, he was startled. He looked carefully through the hole and found that the bird did not seem to be a living creature, but made of wood.

"Magic creature?"

"That's right!" Muniao replied: "Come out and talk about a business!"

Old Hunter opened the door tremblingly and saw the big bird that was bigger than his shop, and the corpse of the snow bear under its feet.

"Skin this skin and sell it to you!" The big bird's feet went forward and sent the body of the snow bear.

"This...sell it to me?" Old Hunter exclaimed and rubbed his hands: "I offer... ten gold coins... no no, twenty gold coins!"

"I don't want money!" said Big Niao, "Give me four good fur coats, there is no other requirement, just keep warm!"

To be honest, a snow bear skin cannot be replaced with four sets of top-quality fur coats. Old Hunter is a little embarrassed, but when he sees the majesty of the giant bird, he still dares not refuse to obey, so he can only prepare to agree.

"I don't want it..." Lilith said: "I'm not afraid of the cold! I don't want to wear it!"

"Okay!" Zhao Qiankun manipulated the giant bird and replied: "No need for four sets, just three sets!"

"Three sets? Now I'll get the money back!" Old Hunter hurriedly agreed, calling the guy out to work casually, and then selected three sets of exquisitely styled and warm coats according to the size reported by Zhao Qiankun...

Of course, his exquisiteness here is relative to the workmanship of Wenrou Town. Wenrou Town still mainly produces raw materials. Experts in real fur clothing are all in the Sailan Binghai or the Northon Empire. The precious leather jackets produced there are the favorites of the masters and ladies! However, even if the coats in Wenrou Town are rougher, the materials are absolutely affordable. Three coats can basically cover the whole body of a person.

With the clothes, Zhao Qiankun asked him for a few pairs of cotton shoes and the cotton coat inside... This thing was not worth much money, and Old Hunter was given away for free. However, Zhao Qiankun did not treat him badly and gave him the remaining snow bear meat, and only took off one of the bear legs.

Swallowed the coat through the bird's beak, and soon the bird's belly was opened. Zhao Qiankun, Xindelia and Wilson, who were wearing fur and cotton shoes, walked out. Lilith, who was still wearing single clothes, could not see the cold at all...

Zhao Qiankun manipulated the giant bird and found a place to stand without any trouble. He carried the bear leg that was long alone and turned around and said to the few people: "It's rare to come to Wenru Town. We are not in a hurry to do things. Let's take a look first and experience the charm of this polar region! I know that the boss of a tavern has good skills, so he will bake the bear leg later!"

Lilith still had no worries. Cinderia and Wilson naturally agreed, and the few of them walked along the streets of Wenrou Town in thick snow.

"Although it's cold here, the air is very fresh!" Xindeliya sighed: "The night sky is also very clear!"

"Yes!" Wilson also sighed: "It's much better than Babylon, where factories are everywhere... But it's so late, why is the streets still so lively?" As he said, he looked at the crowds with some confusion.
