Surviving the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 660 Ten Northern Towns in Icewind Dale

Hill, who stayed in the iceberg for another month, looked at the pendant hanging in the three corners of the pure gold box with satisfaction, sealed the box completely with satisfaction, and placed it in the corner of the pendant specially arranged by the spirit of the oak tree. In the dangerous goods warehouse.

Although he felt that the sense of crisis in the spirit of the oak tree was a bit too much, after all, he was busy with the affairs in the pendant, so Hill arranged a thick adamantine wall outside the warehouse in this corner according to his request.

Hill glanced at the little flower fairy and the wood elemental spirit who were waiting for him with their chins in their hands, and smiled and shook his head.

It may be that they have established a relationship with the little flower fairies, and the wood elemental elves tried hard to ask to go to Hill's territory with them, not wanting to be sent back to the elemental world by Hill.

Hill is actually a little hesitant. There are very few pure wood elements here in Toril, and it can even be said that there are basically none.

The appearance of the wood element actually represents the weakness of the earth.

On the contrary, there are more gold elements. After all, there are indeed some planets in the universe that are completely composed of metals.

But Hill finally agreed to their request, and he remembered Trasil's World Tree attribute.

The place where the wood element first appeared was the world tree.

Hill put on a white robe with a large hood, and waved for Xiaohuaxian and the wood elemental spirit to hide together.

Xiao Huaxian, who was carrying a small bag and a small box, happily rushed in.

Although the wood elements wondered why Hill didn't let them enter the pendant, after walking around Hill, they simply fell in under the greeting of the settled little flower fairies.

Hill scratched his hair, and he could feel that the mug's awakening was a few years away.

He took out a space system Moon Acorn, activated it and threw it into the cup.

This kind of random dimensional space movement is most likely to fall into a certain dimensional space treasure in the north or on the sea.

If you are unlucky, you will fall into Bahamut's dragon's lair in the land of the north wind or the treasure house of Talos, the storm god.

A better luck would be to fall into the treasure house of the Frost Maiden or Amberly. Of course, Amberly's is the best, and even ten of them can't play with this cup.

Not going up or down is going directly to the home of a certain ancient dragon.

Hill actually didn't know what he wanted.

But he still hopes that the golden cup will fall into the Ambowry house with great luck.

After all, if fate really wants Amaunata to be resurrected, the cup can escape no matter how tightly guarded it is.

It would be better to hope that he can just soak for a few more years in the underwater cave full of rags, mud and bones everywhere, and the stench is unbearable.

Hill smashed the tip of the iceberg a few times, squeezed out of the gap, and sincerely wished good luck to the Holy Grail of Amaunata, which disappeared before his eyes.

Hill glanced at the environment outside the iceberg, sensed the direction of his territory, and finally understood where he was.

He was not far from where the ten northern towns were located in Icewind Dale.

It's a pity that Hill brought Xiao Huaxian, which could easily cause trouble, so he was a little hesitant.

The little flower fairy who can adapt to such a cold place is very expensive. There will always be people who want money or die. After all, it is not for making big money, and there will not be so many people risking their lives to cross the road on the Spine of the World. Narrow and dangerous paths.

However, Hill still decided to take a look. Although the icy and snowy Icewind Dale is full of half-orcs crawling out of the Spine of the World, there are also many adventurers and pioneers. As long as they can survive, more or less A little of the good stuff in the ruins.

Although they don't necessarily know the specific value, the price is already very expensive based on antiques.

There will always be some merchants who are not afraid of death in Hill's territory to buy antiques back from here. If you are lucky, you can earn thousands of times the profit on the same thing.

Although Hill doesn't care about spending money, there are some things that merchants don't like to buy, such as books that don't feel mana, even if they are made of fur that will not rot for thousands of years, in the style of those ancient elves and ancient dwarves, there are still some things. It might be a book of poetry or a tribute to a certain liquor.

In the parcels of merchants, every inch is precious, and they are absolutely unwilling to leave space for these incomprehensible books.

That is the ancient elven and dwarf script, and even some older scripts, even if many scholars may not be able to understand it, it is even less likely for adventurers and businessmen to learn it.

Hill was very interested in these things. After he arrived in Toril, he had to learn what modern elven script was like. His inheritance was very ancient to Toril.

Even his dwarven literature is old-fashioned. Fortunately, it is easier to go from complex to simple, and it will be no problem to find the rules.

However, before entering Icewind Dale, Hill took out the magic book and used two spells for himself: Elminster's radiant ball and the defensive spell Iron Bone.

After telling the little guys in the hood not to leave, he was going to a very dangerous place, and Hill flew to that valley.

The wind and snow here are very heavy and chaotic. The strong wind changes direction almost every few minutes, and it is impossible to fly by force. Moreover, it is obviously not winter yet, and the temperature is already around minus 20 degrees.

If it wasn't for Hill's long-accustomed to the terrible hurricanes at the edge of Trasil's world, and his tough body would hardly be blown by strong winds, he wouldn't be able to fly in this kind of volatile wind and snow.

Hill put his right hand in front of his forehead and looked. Even he couldn't see too far in this weather, but he still recognized the "Kain Giant Cone" mountain with its unique style.

After flying for another ten minutes, and bypassing the cone mountain, Hill saw three lakes at the foot of the mountain, as well as the nearest and northernmost town to him: Dulin Town.

Hill, who was flying in mid-air, noticed many hostile sights.

But no one shot Hill.

He guessed it was because of the orb surrounding him. Elminster's spell was generally only learned by mages of the good camp, and neutral ones would not use it unless they had to.

The symbol is too obvious, and the evil camp wants to fight after seeing it.

But there is also the biggest advantage. This is what Hill likes. Everyone knows the level of this spell. People without that ability can only stare a few times at most, and can only hide in the dark.

The biggest trouble for a mage who dares to use this spell is that there will be many people who try to deceive him in exchange for benefits, and Hill is not afraid of this.

The timing of Hill's arrival coincided with the time when ten northern towns started fishing.

Countless fishing boats were dispatched in groups, competing for good fishing spots, and there were small fights on the lake, probably for the catch.

Hill looked up curiously.

Someone shouted loudly: "There are big fish in Dilun Luen Lake!"

In exchange, there was a sound of cursing on the lake.

It was the revenge of the fishermen who had been squeezed out of that lake after their own defeat.

Soon some fishing boats that hadn't set off rushed towards the lake.

Hill has already moved to the sky above the lake, and he can hear the discussion below: These fishing boats that started later are the strongest among the fishermen in the ten towns, and they have always been only interested in these big fish over 20 meters .

The specialty of Ten Towns is carvings made of steelhead trout skulls, and Hill also collected some, but he had never received such a large fish head.

Basically, these things would be bought by those big merchants at a high price in Neverwinter, and then directly loaded onto a ship and shipped to Karatu or Zahara. This kind of fishbone carving can be sold at a very good price in those two continents.

In the Northern Continent, the interest in this kind of fish carving is not so high, no, it should be said that they will not pay such a high price, everyone is actually pursuing the same, exotic style!
The nobles of Faerûn prefer porcelain and silk from the East, as well as beautiful polychrome jade.

Hill suddenly felt the sight from Ten Towns away, not hostile, but very present.

He suddenly turned his head and found a group of tall figures driving reindeer on the mountainside of Kane's Giant Cone Mountain. They were the descendants of the Northlanders, the current barbarians.

They were really tall, standing next to the nearly three-meter-tall reindeer didn't make Hill feel much shorter at all.

Staring at Hill was the leading priest.

Why are the disciples of Tempus staring at him?Hill is a little weird.But he didn't feel any danger, so he simply waved his hand over there.

Several big men waved after him and were hit on the head by the people next to him.

It appears they were indeed discussing Hill.

Hill inspected around Lone Forest Town and found that there were indeed no shops here, so he flew to Targos Town, the largest of the ten towns, without hesitation.

Sure enough, it is more prosperous here, at least there is a shopping street.

The bookstore that Hill was looking for did exist, but it was small and dilapidated. He walked around in it and found that it mainly sold maps of Ten Towns and Icewind Dale, which seemed to be for new adventurers. .

They are basically fakes. Hill can find out how deceitful these blueprints are just by observing them in the air. If anyone really believes it, it will be a good ending to fall directly into the ice hole.

Most of the places marked as promising goodies are actually lairs of large beasts that live in packs, and even half-orc settlements.

Hill turned and walked into the grocery store, but there were some books here, which were obviously used to offset the bills, and they were thrown in a broken box with dust all over them.

The grocery store owner has been standing at the counter and staring at Hill closely, without saying hello, his eyes full of vigilance.

At first glance, he looked like a wanted criminal who was worried about his safety.

If any big bosses from the benevolent camp suddenly come here in Ten Towns, many of them will come to arrest people, so Hill doesn't care about the indifference and hostility of these people towards him.

"I was going further north for fun. When I passed by here, I remembered that some merchants said that there will always be some books here. Although the value is not high, they are indeed antiques." Hill said slowly, "I will follow the rules of antiques. The price is charged."

The boss' eyes lit up.
