Yes, the reason why the Lison Chamber of Commerce came here in advance to open the post station was because of Orson's instructions.
Orson sent a letter to the head of the Duke of Lucia of the Lison Chamber of Commerce. Of course, the other party knew Orson's status in the Lison Chamber of Commerce, so he naturally did not dare to neglect it and quickly made arrangements.
This can be regarded as Orson's counterattack against Triss.
After all, after Triss tricked him before, Olivia went back and gestured at Orson's waist.
Although he didn't really do it, Orson was a little grudge.
According to his understanding, Triss's bad character would definitely tamper with the supplies at the starting point, so Orson waved his hand and called the caravan.
As expected, after seeing Triss's expression as if she had eaten a fly, Orson couldn't help but feel proud in his heart.
This time, he was considered to have won back a city.
Chapter 7: Elsa joins midway
No student in the Imperial Academy is too poor. Even if they are of humble origin, they can live well with the subsidies from the academy. Therefore, after the supplies were replenished, everyone prepared as much supplies as possible.
The warriors who don't know magic are a little tired. They need to carry their belongings in a larger bag, while the magicians are a little easier and can use magic carpets to store their belongings.
But in any case, after the prohibition of carrying space props, the supplies that everyone can carry are limited. They can only last for ten days at most in the snowfield. If they encounter a blizzard, they will consume more supplies.
In this case, there is no doubt that the students' ability to survive in the wild will be tested.
Therefore, on the first day, many people chose to travel far away.
The reason why the snowfield is sparsely populated is that the resources available for survival on its barren land are quite limited.
A person may need to collect resources within a radius of dozens of miles to obtain enough supplies for survival. In this case, every additional person means that the distance to be explored will increase a lot.
Those who choose to leave directly are prepared to run as far as possible with the limited supplies now, so that fewer people will compete with them for resources.
After all, survival means competition for resources.
Of course, large-scale companionship is impossible, but small-scale companionship is necessary.
In addition to the shortage of supplies on the snowfield, there will also be attacks from wild beasts and weather. In this case, division of labor and cooperation are needed.
Litt, Lena and Lianka decided to travel together because they have a good relationship.
Litt originally wanted to go with Orson, but after all, Orson is a sophomore and has his own tasks. Although Litt can also join in, Litt is likely to be just Orson's burden now.
Of course, she also knew it, so she chose to wait outside for Orson's good news.
It's just a bargain for Olivia.
Litt thought so and gritted his teeth again.
Ha, just be tolerant, don't panic, and develop first. Anyway, Orson and Olivia are an old couple. Nothing happened for so long before, and nothing will happen in Lapland now.
…
On the other hand, Orson was ready to go deep into the snowfield with Olivia after the night.
Many people had invited Orson to join him, but how could Orson not know their thoughts?
They just wanted to find a backbone and follow Orson to get good grades.
So, after Orson declined many people, he simply stayed here.
Seeing this, everyone did not want to waste time here, so they formed their own teams and went deep into the snowfield.
It was not until the evening that everyone had almost left, and Orson was ready to leave with Olivia.
Not far from the post station, Orson suddenly saw a figure walking alone in front of him, and it looked a little familiar.
"Elsa?"
Orson asked subconsciously, causing Olivia beside him to glare at him helplessly.
The person in front heard Orson calling her and turned around.
"Orson, and... Olivia? Why haven't you two left yet?" Elsa looked at the two people with a puzzled expression on her face.
"Ah... something happened, so I was delayed for a while." Orson explained, and then asked back: "Elsa, why are you here now?"
"Well, because I just left not long ago." Elsa said this, touched the back of her head, and said awkwardly, "It seems that no one wants to team up with me, so I have to go alone."
"Ah? Why is there no one willing to team up with you, Elsa?" At this time, Olivia, who was standing next to Orson, spoke in confusion.
The other party is the princess of the empire! If you team up with her and get her attention, you will not be rich, but your future life will definitely not be bad.
Even if you put aside the identity of the princess of the empire, the strength of the seventh-level magician is there, and she is also quite powerful. She is a very powerful combat force. How could no one be willing to team up with her?
Thinking of this, Olivia narrowed her eyes.
I always feel that something is wrong. Could it be that Elsa deliberately pretended to be like this in front of Orson?
Is the purpose to get close to Orson?
When Olivia thought of this possibility, she immediately became alert.
No matter what the other party's purpose is, it seems a bit difficult to deal with.
Seeing Olivia asking this, Elsa had to explain with her own thoughts:
"It seems that because I am a princess, they are worried that I will take credit for their achievements when they are around me. If they cause me dissatisfaction, they may be resented by me, so in order to avoid causing trouble, they simply don't ask me to form a team. ”
"So that's the reason." Orson nodded, expressing understanding. "I thought that as Elsa, your princess, there would be a group of loyal servants following you, even if they sacrifice their own interests, they would make you happy."
Orson just had to say the words "dog licking" directly.
"Pfft." Elsa was amused by this statement, "Even if such a person exists, he will never appear at a time like this."
"Yes, a friend in need is a friend indeed." Orson said subconsciously.
But then he realized that this statement was not quite right.
What kind of "true love" do you mean?
Sure enough, after Orson realized something was wrong, Olivia put her hand behind Orson's back like a conditioned reflex.
"Of course, I mean the friendship between classmates!" Orson explained immediately.
Although the explanation made the current atmosphere even weirder, it still played a certain role.
At least Olivia didn't have her hands on Orson anymore.
"So, Elsa, do you want to come with us next?" Olivia stepped forward and actively invited Elsa.
"Eh? Is that okay?" Elsa was stunned, and then asked in surprise: "I...I won't disturb you, right?"
"Of course not." Olivia smiled and shook her head.
"After all, sometimes, there are things that some people dare not say, so you can only let another person say it. Are you right, Orson?"
Olivia turned back to look at Orson and showed a sly smile, as if she could see through Orson's heart.
"Well, it's okay. It's better to say Elsa that you can help us a lot."
"Then, please give me some advice." Elsa said this and quickly thanked the two of them.
"Wait a moment."
At this time, Olivia stopped again.
"After all, this experience involves credits. None of us are credit-bearers. Let's set a rule. When the time comes to report the content of the experience, no false reports are allowed. Who knows the information about the beliefs of the Laplanders? Whoever discovers it deserves the credit.”
"I have no problem." Elsa nodded.
Orson agreed.
"Okay, then, you are welcome to join, Elsa." Olivia said this, and suddenly leaned forward and whispered a short message in Elsa's ear.
Elsa was stunned for a moment, then her cheeks turned red, and she quickly shook her head like a rattle.
"How is that possible! I'm not that kind of person!"
"Then I'm relieved." Olivia nodded with satisfaction and returned to Orson.
Orson only saw two people suddenly whispering. As for what they said, there was no way of knowing.
But he didn't want to gossip about the content of the two girls' whispers.
"It's getting late. Let's find a place to camp. Let's leave tomorrow."
"Yeah."*2
Chapter 8: Snowfield Village
A week later, somewhere outside the snowfield.
Three figures wearing animal fur coats were walking in the snow.
It always gets dark much earlier in Lapland than in other areas. There are only eight hours of daylight here, so all activities need to be completed as quickly as possible.
For the locals here, they may be used to it, but for the Imperial College students who come here from other places, they need some time to adapt.
Compared with the thick snow that can cover the knees in winter, the snow here now only reaches the ankles, and the traveling conditions are already quite good.
"Ha..." Among the three, the one at the end was the first to stop.
"I...I can't do it anymore. I walked too long today."
She raised her head and looked at the two people who also stopped in front of her.
"Lite, Lena, let's find a place to rest. I really can't walk anymore."
Yes, the trio is Lite, Lena and Lianka. As the weakest and most pampered Lianka among the three, she is obviously the least adaptable to survival in the wild.
Today, a few people set out at dawn, and then walked for four hours.
Several people walked very fast, so their physical strength was consumed faster. Even though Lianka had already reached the sixth level of strength, she could only admit defeat at this moment.
"Okay." Lit nodded, then climbed into the sky and looked at the surrounding terrain.
After confirming that there was a sheltered spot nearby, Leeteuk led the two of them there.
After clearing a patch of snow, the three set up camp on the spot.
"Is there enough food?" Lianka sat by the fire and stretched out her hands to warm the fire. She looked at Lite who frowned and counted the supplies in his backpack and asked curiously.
"Yeah." Lit nodded. "We have been busy traveling these days, and we haven't killed many animals on the road. With the food we brought with us when we set out, we probably only have less than five days of rations left."
Lianka lowered her head in silence when she heard this.
Of course she knew that she was holding the team back, but she didn't know what to do to make up for her inner guilt.
After all, if you think about it carefully, it seems that she is not as outstanding as Billit and Lena.
Especially here in the snowy plains, without the help of her family and status, she is nothing.
Even in the daily hunting, Lit and Lena got the most prey.
It wasn't that Lianka couldn't even catch the prey, but she had no experience in surviving in the wild, and had no idea where the prey would be. She walked aimlessly on the vast snowfield, and it was lucky that she didn't get lost.
"Let's take a break today. Follow the direction pointed by the hunter, and we should be able to find the village in two or three days." After half an hour, Lit roasted a few hares and handed one to Lianka.
Lena also divided the broth cooked by the fire into three portions.
Lianka looked at the food in front of her, was silent for a while, and then said: "Well... or I won't eat it, these are what you hunted..."
"It's already this time, what nonsense are you still talking about." Lit didn't listen to Lianka and took the initiative to hand the rabbit to her.
"Okay, let's eat. We are getting closer and closer to our destination. We can stay in the village temporarily. Anything is fine."
"That's right, sister Lianka. If you abandon us, Lena will be very angry."
"Yeah..." Lianka nodded.
The few of them rested for another two hours, and took advantage of the fact that it was getting dark to walk a distance before setting up camp on a leeward slope.
It was night, and everyone took turns to keep watch. Lianka sat by the fire, lowering her head and thinking.
At this moment, she heard a strange sound from the side.
It was like something stepped on the snow, and the snow sank.
She turned her head quickly, but saw a pair of glowing eyes staring at her in the dark.
Is it a wolf?
Thinking of this, she put her hand on the hilt of the sword at her waist. If the other party dared to approach, she would have an extra meal today.
