Bizarre Detective Agency

  Chapter 857 One hundred and forty-eight. But Mick went too far, Anna came to the detective agency after hearing the news

  The frost covered the glass obscured the outside world.

  The wooden door was opened, and the cold sea breeze that blew into the captain's room woke everyone up.

   "It's so cold here."

  The cold wind blew across his cheeks, making it hard to breathe. Katarina had to go back to the captain's room and shut the wooden door.

   After she put on her coat, put on a blanket and opened the wooden door, Ophelia walked out of the captain's room with her.

  A shadow outline emerges outside the window, gradually becoming clearer.

  The heat of Ophelia melts the frost on the glass and wipes it dry.

   Brown earth and rivers appear in the distance.

   "Yawn... The big boat said that the river can't get in." The eldest sister climbed out of her hood and said.

   Katerina returned to the captain's room with the cold wind, and also said: "The river is very narrow, we may have to walk through it."

The temperature outside was only a few degrees or even lower. For the next journey, they prepared a pot of hot soup to warm the body and mind, and asked the businessman Anthony to bring back some clothes-although Ophelia said that she would not feel cold when she was by her side. .

  When the hot soup was about to boil, the businessman Anthony took out the clothes in his backpack, as well as the news from the two Wiener ice-free ports.

  The first news is that a blizzard hit the ice-free port of Wiener two days ago, crushing many houses and causing a total of 106 civilian casualties. The cold snap is heading south and is expected to reach the Allen Peninsula in these two days.

   Everyone who returned to the Lord's Continent has already encountered a cold snap.

   The second message was a reply letter from Nasram Araya's daughter, Moni Araya. She was very grateful to Lu Li for bringing back the letter from her missing father. She, her husband and family members welcomed Lu Li as a guest.

   "From now on, a newspaper from Wiener Antifreeze will be delivered every day."

   Lu Li said after reading the letter.

  The merchant Anthony wrote down and did not talk about the remuneration any more.

   Maybe when Lu Li was the only exorcist, or it realized that Lu Li's contribution point was approaching the concept of "infinity", it stopped mentioning the cost of each transaction.

  Food, kerosene, clothing, these kinds of supplies were piled up in the merchant's "backpack", just in case, Lu Li and they each carried some fluorite and cans.

  Lu Li left Black Crow on Andrea. It will monitor the birth of the fog tide. If a fog tide emerges, it will catch up to notify everyone.

  After drinking the hot broth, they put on their wind-proof cloaks, took a wooden boat to the shore, and stepped into the wilderness where the cold wind was venting.

   Ophelia unreservedly exudes aura and warmth, which inevitably makes the sanity counter rattle more frequently, but also dispels the malicious sight of the hidden wilderness.

  Even Purseus showed his deformed new tail, following at the feet of Lu Li and Katarina, who were wearing cloaks like pagans, trying to make the team look "not easy to provoke" from the inside out as much as possible.

  The addition of Ophelia makes the journey in the wilderness no longer dangerous. At least for them now, the only thing blocking the way is the blizzard that comes with the howling wind.

  The whimpering wind blew the earth, and the snowflakes that slanted and blew connected into white lines, and the visibility was sharply reduced to ten meters.

   The Hyde River next to them keeps them from getting lost in the blizzard and heading upstream.

   Snowflakes fall on the body, melt and soak the clothes, taking away the body heat. Katarina was already shaking in the blizzard.

  Lu Li approached Ophelia and said, "Ophelia, be hotter."

   The crevices of Ophelia's charred body glowed with a dark red halo, like a bonfire emitting heat.

   But in the raging snowstorm, even the bonfire is hard not to freeze.

   They were only warm on the side facing Ophelia, the rest were still freezing cold.

  Traveling in the snowstorm for two hours, they had to warm and freeze their bodies in a sheltered place formed by rocks, and even wild fruit-like ice beads condensed on Purse's hair.

   After drying the clothes and drinking the hot soup to warm up like frozen guts, they stepped into the snowstorm again.

   They walked less than 60 miles throughout the day, and the decreasing temperature indicated that they were approaching the center of the blizzard and that night was approaching.

   There are nearly three hours until evening, but darkness will come earlier in the blizzard, and they have a maximum of two hours left.

   A choice emerges from this. Continue on the road and try your luck to find a sheltered place to spend the night before dark, or stop there and approach the village of Poido, a few miles to the east.

   "Of course I'm going to the village, I'm even warm from the cold..." Katerina couldn't stand the cold.

  Whoa——

  Lunli expands the map, and Storm competes with him for the map in hand.

   Ophelia approached, blocking the wind and snow.

   "Go to Poido Village." Lu Li put away the map and left the compass.

   But even with the help of a compass, they lost their way in the blizzard several times, and finally Anthony the merchant brought a more detailed map, and they reluctantly relied on the landmarks to enter the village of Poido.

   In the darkness of the blizzard, there was only a shadowy outline in the village of Poido, and they entered the houses on the edge of the village, out of the wind and snow.

  Because of Ophelia, they stopped lighting the bonfire and kept only two oil lamps and fluorite for lighting.

   "I hope tomorrow will be a good weather." Katerina, who had changed her wet clothes, wiped her hair and drank the hot water beside Ophelia, who was as hot as a fire.

   "Maybe worse."

   Wet black hair fell on his forehead, Lu Li read the message from Wiener Antifreeze Port.

   Snowfall continues in Wiener Port Freeze. Scholars have claimed that this is the first snow of winter, and the earth will be frozen over the long winter that follows. Weird goes dormant, or forages more frequently.

   "It's better than trying to keep going." Katarina took off her boots, revealing her pale feet that were swollen and wrinkled. "We have to light a bonfire."

  Although Ophelia is better than a campfire, you can't burn her feet at her.

  Abandoned houses have fireplaces, they remove tables and chairs, unclog the chimney and light the fireplace.

   The fireplace, which is warmer and brighter than fluorite and firelight, lights up, and everyone relaxes by the bonfire.

   After a short break to eat, the tired people fell into a deep sleep, occasionally awakened by a more severe blizzard outside the house at midnight.

   The next morning, people woke up one after another.

  Lu Li opened the door, and the thick snow piled up outside the door and fell into the room.

   Snow covered the ground, sporadic snowflakes fell, and the distance was foggy.

   Before the new blizzard came, they left the hut and stepped into the pale wilderness.

   The calm lasted until noon and the snowstorm came again.

   Despite the first blizzard of the bitter winter, they were lucky—the Lightstealer didn't show up, and the fog tide didn't emerge.

more importantly. In the afternoon, the people who were on their way were blocked by the huge shadows emerging from the wind and snow.

   They arrived at Rielstein City.

   Ophelia brings news of the strange occupation of the city, and they carefully hide in the hut on the edge, waiting for night and dawn.

   Then, tomorrow, they will be able to reach the excavation site in the Tashufik area known as Socrates.
