Yan Zong patted the snow on his body and opened the door of the tavern.Exhaling, a fireplace burned on the wall on one side of the tavern.It was much warmer inside than outside, and there were three men sitting at a round table by the fireplace, playing cards.There is a glass of wine lying nearby.

The three men glanced at Yan Zong and continued playing their cards.Yan Zong walked straight to the bar, where the bartender was cleaning glasses.

"Outlander, what do you need?" the bartender asked Yan Zong.Yan Zong sat on the bench in front of the bar.

"It's really cold here. Fortunately, I bought this fur coat when I came here." Yan Zong said with a bit of complaint, "Is there anything I can eat?"

The bartender smiled: "You can eat anything, you just have to see if we have it here."

"Venison and fish, trout, cod, seabass and so on. If you want to eat vegetable salad, we don't have it here. At least not at this time." The bartender shrugged and he was a little dissatisfied with this, "How about it, I want to come What to order?”

"Just venison."

"You're lucky, there's still some venison left for lunch. Wait a minute!" The bartender brought a palm-sized piece of venison from under the counter and placed it on the stove on one side with a barbecue tong.The venison was cooked and had a brown sauce on top.

"The venison will be available for a while, how about a glass of wine first?"

"Isn't there any fresh food?" Yan Zong said while looking at the venison roasting on the fire.

"I can't catch a deer for you right now, or make another one for you." The bartender shrugged, "Wood is very valuable here."

“Hot pot sake bar.”

"No."

Yan Zong raised his eyes and looked at the bartender, who smiled and said, "We don't have low-alcohol wine here."

"Okay, then let's get the best one from you."

The bartender took out a glass from the side and gave Yan Zong a glass.The so-called cup is actually half cup, or half of the cup.But it’s already a lot of hard liquor.

Yan Zong took a sip and felt sweat forming on his forehead.Yan Zong took off his hat and hung it on the hook on the bar.

"How about it?"

"Not bad, quite warm."

"Although this is not the best wine, it is the favorite wine of our locals. For us, it is the best wine." The bartender said with a smile.He liked the look of satisfaction on Yan Zong's face, which was an affirmation of their locals.

"Thank you." Yan Zong raised his glass to express his gratitude.

"By the way, guest, what are you doing here?" the bartender asked.

"Looking for a job." Yan Zong is not in the habit of telling the truth.

"You don't look like a poor person?"

"Haha," Yan Zong smiled, "just because I work, I am not a poor person."

"May I ask, what do you do?" the bartender was curious.

"Do something within your power." Yan Zong opened the fur coat on his right side, revealing two kunai at his waist.

"Ah." The bartender nodded in realization.

"Do you know where I can find a job?" Yan Zong looked at the bartender.The expression on the bartender's face clearly showed that he knew what Yan Zong was doing, and he was neither surprised nor afraid.

"There is a small town a day's journey east of here. You should be able to find a job suitable for you there," the bartender said.

"Well," Yan Zong nodded, "can I eat my venison?"

The bartender glanced at the venison: "It will take a while."

"Okay, do you have accommodation here?" Yan Zong asked.

"You are very lucky. There are very few people staying here. So the room was not cleaned. However, a female guest stayed here a few days ago and she cleaned the room a little."

"Female guest?"

"Ah, what's wrong?"

"alone?"

"Ah, she is a very skilled female guest. She gave my neighbor a good lesson the day she came. As a result, my neighbor has not come to drink these days, but that woman is generous. She makes more money from my neighbor than I do. A lot."

"It seems that she may be a companion. What happened to her later?"

"That's right. She asked about Tuan Che's news."

"Tuanche?"

"That guy's story is a long story, but we should have time to talk slowly." The bartender was very willing to chat.

"Just a minute, I'm going to go to the toilet first." Yan Zong drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, "I like to listen to stories, and there are often things I need for my work.

Following the bartender's instructions, Yan Zong found the toilet.While going to the toilet, I was thinking whether the bartender was talking about Huhui.

Yan Zong was eating venison, and the bartender gave him a glass of wine.Started talking about Tuan Che.

"Tuantetsu, this guy is quite powerful. He used to be a city lord in the Kingdom of Frost. There were three cities in the Kingdom of Frost. Since the resources were not very limited, he once wanted to unify the entire Kingdom of Frost. And he also did He arrived, but within a few years he was overthrown again.”

"He suddenly appeared recently, and for some unknown reason all three city lords succumbed to him. However, there are still people who are dissatisfied with him and have been looking for trouble for him."

Yanzong cut a piece of venison with a table knife and put it in his mouth, chewing it while thinking about the bartender's words.After taking a sip of wine, Yan Zong said: "I just said that I like to listen to stories."

"I accidentally found a job." Yan Zong said with a smile.

"Haha, which side are you going to join?"

"Of course it's Tuanche's side."

"There is no shortage of manpower on Tuanche's side. He has two very powerful guys. I think the resistance forces need you more." The bartender reminded Yan Zong.

Yan Zong smiled: "People like them usually can't pay."

"Yes!" The bartender nodded.

Yan Zong ate all the venison and drank all the wine, and asked pretending to be curious: "By the way, why did that woman ask about Tuan Che? Is she also planning to join?"

"I don't know. She rarely talks and just asks for information." The bartender shrugged.

Yan Zong thought for a while and asked, "What weapon did she use?"

"Do you know her?" the bartender asked.

"No, no, I just heard you say she is a woman. I don't even know her age. How could I know her? I'm just curious about the choices of my colleagues. They may have some information that I don't know, and the choices they make can give I provide a reference.”

"Oh, that's it! Is she using a double-headed spear?" The bartender gestured uncertainly, "It's this long, about a little over one meter."

"Does she look experienced?" Yan Zong knew that the woman was not Huhui, and Huhui didn't use a spear.

"The woman was about 40 years old and very serious." The bartender recalled, "By the way, she didn't seem to be a foreigner, but more like a returnee."

"Oh..." Yan Zong nodded thoughtfully.It was enough to confirm whether the woman was Hu Hui, but Yan Zong couldn't make his intentions clear.That's why he continues to ask about women.

"By the way, do your mercenaries earn a lot?" the bartender was curious.

"It depends on the situation, but no matter how much or how little, you can only get it if you live." Yan Zong shrugged.The bartender nodded in affirmation.

"Is there any other food?" Yan Zong asked, "This portion of venison is not enough."

"We have to wait for dinner to be ordered, but didn't you bring any dry food when you came out?"

"What about solid food? Where can I find delicious venison?"

"Hahaha, yes too."

"Have another glass of wine, and then please help me fill up the wine flask." Yan Zong took out a wine flask from the inner pocket of his fur coat. He bought it in the border town between the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Frost. coat together.

Of course, he also bought some dry food, and he took out a bag from his waist.Opened on the bar, it was filled with beef jerky.

"How about it? Want a piece?" Yan Zong pushed the bag in front of the bartender.The bartender took out a piece and chewed it.

"Sure enough, it's not as delicious as venison." The bartender shrugged.Yan Zong and the bartender looked at each other and smiled.

"In addition to Tuanche's incident, are there any other major events happening in the Kingdom of Frost?" Yan Zong asked with a smile.

"Hmm..." The bartender thought for a while, "The northernmost part was originally planning to build an arena, but recently I heard that there is not enough money to stop the construction."

"Is there nothing else?"

"No more." The bartender shrugged.

Yan Zong arrived at his room, which was not big.There were four iron-framed single beds and a square stove in the corner.This kind of stove integrates heating and cooking, and has two grooves on the top.It is used to hold pots, and there are two pots hanging on the wall on one side.There are still a few sawn short pieces of wood on the ground, just long enough to fit into the stove. The stove is now out.

Yan Zong lay on the bed and tried the bed. As expected, it was not as comfortable as the big bed in the deluxe suite.He got up and walked to the window, looking at the snow outside, thinking about his plans for tomorrow.

The door was opened, and the bartender came in with a roasted leg of lamb and a kettle to boil water.He walked towards the stove and said, "You'd better hurry up and enjoy the hot water and roasted leg of lamb."

"If you feel cold, start a fire again. There may be a snowstorm recently, so save some wood. If you feel cold, come to the hall. There will be a fireplace burning in the hall during the day."

"Okay!" Yan Zong nodded.

"The basin is under the bed," the bartender pointed to the bed where Yan Zong lay, "That bed was used by that woman. Although she was older, she looked pretty good. The basin under the bed was also used by the woman. You can give it a try. The main thing is to be clean."

The bartender smirked and left the room, he was just joking with Yan Zong.But the bed the woman slept on was indeed much cleaner.At least it was cleaner than the other three beds, Yan Zong looked at the bed where the woman had slept.He took out a small wooden basin from under the bed.

Yan Zong couldn't take a bath in this cold place.You can only wipe it with hot water brought by the bartender. This is basically how you take a bath here.Heating a basin of water in this cold place requires much more effort than elsewhere.

After briefly cleaning, Yan Zong poured water from the window.He turned around and fell on the bed to rest. The fur coat was Yan Zong's most correct decision.Not only could it be worn but it could also be covered up, so he covered himself with a fur coat.The quilt was pressed against the coat.

The window was blown loudly at night, and Yan Zong was woken up by the cold.It was much colder than the winter in the Iron Kingdom. He turned on the windproof oil lamp beside the bed.Add wood to the stove and spit fire into the stove.

The room suddenly became brighter and he closed the stove grate-style door.Standing by the window and looking out, there was a snowstorm blowing outside.
