Chapter 369 The Influence of Blood

The firewood in the fireplace was burning slowly, and bright flames danced on the firewood. A group of adventurers in fur armor sat around the fireplace, stretching out their hands to greedily absorb the warmth from the flames.

"The army of Chasing Dragon Castle has returned to the city one after another." The one-eyed adventurer next to the fireplace said with a giant metal bow behind his back.

"I just arrived in Everwinter City yesterday. Can you tell me what happened to the north? Why did you retreat?" asked Al, who was wearing a brand new bearskin coat.

"Those of you who haven't gone to the Dragon Chasing Castle in the north, you can't even imagine what it's like there. The city walls are all turned into a sea of ​​flames by the dragon's breath, and no one can stand on the city walls.

Before everyone retreated, even the stone wall was melted. You must know that it is farther north than here, and the temperature is much lower than here. replied a Nord with a hideous scar on his neck.

Al took a closer look at the hideous scar on the Nord's neck. It was hard for him to imagine how the Nord survived after suffering such a fatal injury.

"Except for the giant dragons, most of the Argonians and dragon beasts they bring can breathe flames. Fortunately, the place where they fight is in the cold north. If they are in other places, they will be even more terrifying." Carrying a giant bow The one-eyed adventurer smacked his lips.

It might be a better option if they can't kill the bug-like demigod and figure out a way to make it help humans.

That snow worm can lower the temperature in such a large area. If it can use this ability to deal with the dragon's breath, this battle will definitely be much easier.

Rhodes, who was sitting at the wine table beside him, thought of this.

Judging from the snowworm's final performance, it is not impossible to communicate, it understands the common language of mankind.

Rhodes stood up, pushed open the door of the tavern and walked out. He was going to take a good stroll in Everwinter City and see if he could solve some of his physical problems.

He had been sleeping in this tavern since they returned from the southeast yesterday, and only woke up about half an hour ago, and it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon.

The tall walls of Eternal Winter City have resisted most of the cold wind, but the temperature in the city can still make ordinary people feel uncomfortable.

The city was built on a mountain, which is why the city wall is nearly [-] meters high, so there are many steps in the city.

The castle of the Ulf family, the owner of Eternal Winter City, was built on the highest point in the city. Rhodes stood at the entrance of the tavern and looked up at the castle in the distance, feeling very magnificent.

The streets of the city are full of busy residents, and they deliver truckloads of supplies to all parts of the city.

There were constant knocking sounds in the blacksmith shop next to the tavern. In order to deal with the upcoming war in Everwinter City, people from all walks of life in the city were nervously preparing.

It's a matter of life and death for them.

Even adventurers rarely have nothing to do. Except for a very few adventurers like Rhodes who have just finished their mission and are in a state of rest, most of the other adventurers in the city are performing some more dangerous tasks outside the city. tasks, such as hunting, reconnaissance, and the like.

Not far to the west of Eternal Winter City is the sea area called the Ice Sea by the Nords. Fish with very high oil content and creatures such as walrus and seals live in it. This has always been one of the main food sources for Eternal Winter City.

Rhodes just tried their shop's signature in the tavern, walrus meat and carrot soup, but he couldn't eat it heartily, the walrus meat looked too greasy.

After leaving the tavern, Rhode walked along the ramp towards the upper floors of the city.

Ordinary city residents live in the lower level of Everwinter City, that is, the lowest location. The middle level is the commercial area, and ordinary shops like taverns, blacksmiths, and grocery stores are generally located in the middle level.

The upper floor is for nobles, and some higher-level shops, such as antique shops and magic props shops, are also on the upper floor.

The upper floor is only open to ordinary adventurers during the day, and they must come out before the sun goes down. Only nobles can live in the upper floor.

Originally Haval wanted to arrange a high-end hotel for Rhodes on the upper level of Everwinter City, but Rhodes refused. He wanted to learn some information from ordinary adventurers, while Al said that he prefers ordinary taverns In that environment, even if he drank too much and vomited directly in the lobby of the tavern, no one would despise him for it.

After passing through a corridor made of white stone, Rhodes came to the upper floor of Eternal Winter City.

This place is much quieter than the lower and middle floors of the city, and the air is filled with a faint smell of perfume, unlike the strange smell everywhere in the middle floors.

Rhodes walked into a nearby shop called "Alchemy and Magic".

After opening the door, a strong fragrance of flowers spread over the surface.

The store is very warm and well decorated, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

"Is there anything you can do?" A fair-skinned, young and beautiful girl behind the counter asked. It seemed that she was definitely not the owner of the store. Her job should be to receive customers.

"I want to find someone to identify the use of a material." Rhodes replied, since he was stained with the blue blood of the snow bug yesterday, he has always felt weird.

He could feel the blood seeping into his body as if it was changing his body, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad.

If you look closely at his skin, you can still see faint blue lines under the skin.

One of the main purposes of going out this time is to find someone who is good at alchemy or knowledgeable and tell him whether this will have any bad influence on him.

It just so happened that he had a large piece of snowworm corpses for others to study.

"Please sit down and wait patiently. Mrs. Morris is still conducting experiments, and he can help you identify your materials after he finishes the research at hand." The girl said again, her voice was nice, but Luo De's face is not very good.

"If you don't want to wait, you can go to another store. I think the middle-level alchemists can meet the requirements of an adventurer like you. You don't need to trouble Mr. Morris. He is the most powerful alchemist in the city. .”

Rhodes took out a fragment of the snowworm corpse that had been cut into small pieces in advance. Even though it was dead, the coercion emanating from this fragment made the ordinary human girl in front of her feel a little uncomfortable.

"This is a fragment of a demigod's corpse with about four levels of strength. I would like to ask Mr. Morris, whom you mentioned, to study how its blood will affect humans," Rhodes said.

He put down another gemstone worth hundreds of gold coins: "This is a deposit, please study the materials I provided as soon as possible."

"Sir, if you are very anxious about this matter, I can go to the laboratory to find Lord Morris right now. I think he will be very interested in your materials."
