When they were far away from the slave trader's shop, Helot threw the key in his hand to the ground: "You are not suitable for me, and I am too lazy to find the slave trader to return you. You are free, don't follow me anymore."

The slave immediately got on the ground and picked up the key, opened the shackles on his hands and feet as quickly as possible, climbed up and ran into the narrow alley next to him, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The slave traders were right; slaves would run away as soon as they were freed from their chains.

Helot looked at the shackles thrown on the ground, smiled, turned around and continued walking forward.

The Snow Castle is very easy to find. It can be regarded as an inner city separated by high walls, and also serves as a military camp for the watchmen. The castle's guards are not as strict as imagined, and a cart full of frozen fish can enter without too strict inspection.

When it was Helot's turn, he only said that he wanted a lunch and used a magic trick to release a ball of fire, and he was allowed to enter the castle.

Just as he was about to enter the castle, someone behind him said to the guard: "The wizard in front is my master!"

Helot was stopped by the guards: "Mister Mage, please confirm whether the person behind is your slave."

Helot turned his head and looked... Although the sloppy people in Northern Xinjiang looked similar, the hairband on his wrist proved his identity.

Now the slave put on the hand and foot shackles he had discarded.

Helot said: "Yes, he is my slave!"

The guard let them pass again. "Mister Mage, please enter the Snow Castle. You and your slaves can go to the dining hall to get a meal. If you can't find a place to stay, you can also apply for a cheap room to rest. But please do not enter areas that are not allowed to be entered by outsiders, otherwise it will cause you unnecessary trouble."

"I'll remember that, thank you!"

Helot gave the guard a mage's salute and walked through the gate.

Behind the gate is a very open training ground, where a team of watchmen are riding armored bears for sprint training. Frozen fish are piled up on the edge of the training ground, and armored bears that perform well can get frozen fish as rewards.

Walking inside, we passed an ordnance workshop, where the people swinging hammers to hit the iron ingots were actually armored bears, and the human blacksmiths could only serve as assistants to the armored bears. The armored bears were so strong that sparks flew with every hammer strike, and their white fur was burned to a burnt yellow.

Melissa said that armored bears can forge armor for themselves, and some armored bears can even forge magical armor.

The armored bear is one of the magical species unique to the northern polar regions.

After passing through several courtyards with different functions, Helot arrived at the Watchman's Dining Hall and received a meal.

On the plate, there was a piece of black bread as hard as a brick, a piece of meat from an unknown animal, a small bowl of grease and three baked potatoes.

There was no dining table, so the watchmen would just sit anywhere in the snow to eat. In order to get information, Helot sat with several watchmen and listened to what they talked about.

The slave also received a portion of food, but there was no bread, no meat, no fat, and of course no plate, only three potatoes in his hands. He sat down not far from Helot, used snow to cool the potatoes, and ate them with big mouthfuls.

Helot imitated the watchman, using a knife to cut bread and meat, then put some fat in his mouth to chew. If it was too cold, he would take a bite of hot potatoes to warm the frozen meat.

It tastes so bad that I want to vomit it.

His expression caused the people watching around him to laugh.

"Weak southerners should not appear in the northern border. Our bread can break your teeth."

Helot still spat out the mixture in his mouth. He shot back: "Smart Southerners know how to make food more delicious."

After saying that, Helot stretched out his hand and lit a ball of fire out of thin air on the snow.

The mage's identity made the watcher shut up.

In the northern border ruled by the Ice and Snow Family, knowledge is in the hands of the upper class, so mages are naturally very rare. If it weren't for the southern mages who came to the northern border to adventure, this group of watchers who eat in the snow might never have been so close to mages in their lives.

Helot steadied the fire, then used a dangling trick to roast the frozen meat and hard bread over the fire, then spread fat on the meat and bread, and kept turning them over and roasting them.

After roasting for a while, the fragrance filled the whole yard.

Sprinkle with salt and spices to make the aroma even more tempting!

Looking at the watchmen around him drooling, Helot waved his hand to light a bonfire on the ground, and threw bags of salt and spices on the ground.

“If you want to eat like the Southerners, grill your own food. The salt and spices are free.”

Fuel was at a premium during the freezing period, and the watchmen, seeing the free fire, immediately roasted their food over it.

Salt and spice packets were passed from hand to hand.

"Praise the respected Master Mage! Praise the generous southerners!"

Helot and the watchmen immediately became close friends with whom they could talk about anything.

More information was found out.

The marriage between Master Panier and Princess Emma Lubeli is real, but Princess Emma Lubeli does not seem to agree. A few days ago, a big battle broke out in the Central Castle, and it was only settled when Master Rogrid of the Elvin family came.

I heard that...Princess Emma Rubelle was seriously injured in that battle...

When talking about sensitive topics, someone opened his mouth to stop them, but the people watching immediately shut up out of fear.

Helot laughed and said, "I plan to go deep into the polar regions to hunt down the cold monsters, just to join the Watchers and become a fan of Master Rogrid. But I heard that Master Rogrid has very high requirements for his fans. Do you know what kind of strength you need to achieve in order to be recognized by Master Rogrid?"

This is not a sensitive topic.

An enthusiastic watcher said: "If you want to become a supporter of Master Rogrid, you must first join the Ice Knights, and then have certain achievements. I think hunting an ordinary cold demon is not enough, at least you have to hunt a superb level one cold demon alone."

"I think Master Mage could consider becoming Master Panir's supporter, so that you can stay in the Snow Castle."

"You want to eat the barbecued meat over the Master's fire every day, right?"

"Don't you want to?"

"Master Mage, you really can consider becoming Master Paniel's supporter. Master Paniel is very easy-going, while Master Rogrid is very strict."

……

The watchmen all suggested that Helot follow Master Panier.

It can be seen that Master Panier is indeed very popular.

"I will consider your suggestions carefully. After all, there are many preparations to make before heading to the polar regions. The first thing is to make my slaves grow flesh so that they can carry more supplies for me."

The watchmen looked at Helot's slaves, who were indeed too thin. With such a thin body, it would be a good thing if they could not freeze to death, let alone carry supplies.

"Go, get more potatoes for the Master Mage's slaves!"

Helot ate the hot bread and meat...

We are very close to Melissa. Let’s stay here tonight and see if there is any chance to find her!
