peepers [end times]

Lu Qing and Shen Yi sat together, Su Die took a seat on the other side, and the village head sat on top, with a cup of freshly brewed hot tea by his hand.This is also a gift from Li Poyun... After all, the weather in Linghan City is severe, and many crops cannot grow.

The village chief gently blew on the hot tea, took a sip slowly, and sighed with a look of nostalgia: "The people in our village...in fact, they are all people who were rejected by the king of Linghan Capital .”

This is a bit of a long story.

They did not come to the foot of Hengduan Mountain voluntarily to establish a village.Yes, the city of Ling Han is snowing all the year round, and there is a world of ice and snow everywhere, but there are degrees between cold and cold.For example, on the side near Hengduan Mountain, there are a lot of exotic animals, and the perennial winter snow may also face the hunting season of snow wolves and winter bears. Every time this happens, it is a blow to the village.As for the real Linghan City, although it is extremely cold, it can also be divided into early winter and cold winter. In early winter, Linghan City is also slightly sunny.

"Why don't you cross Hengduan Mountain and live on the other side of Hengduan Mountain?" Lu Qing asked curiously. If this side has been abandoned, and the village chief obviously knows the existence of the Shuguang Empire, then why don't you just cross Hengduan Mountain directly? , How about living in the Dawn Empire?

"The other side is the Dawn Empire and the Shenting. I won't talk about the Shenting. We don't have that kind of belief. If we go there, we will be burned to death as fallen angels." The village chief pursed his lips and said, "As for the Dawn Empire , even if we go there, the Aurora Empire will not pay much attention to us. The Aurora Empire has matured, and I am afraid it will not be willing to accept us. Moreover, we do not like to live underground. Besides, the Qin family will be curious about our special The direction of evolution might take away the clansmen for dissection and experimentation."

"You...know what's going on over there?"

"Starting from my grandfather's grandfather's grandfather, they are the leaders who represent the capital of Linghan and the Dawn Empire in trade." The village head whispered, "Actually, I don't know what happened, probably because of the people from your side. The Qin Research Group? Or there were other accidents. In a transaction, the Dawn Empire detained all our caravans and warriors... According to my father, those people directly suppressed them in the shelter. The caravan, not to mention all the supplies, our warriors were taken away by a group of soldiers and locked in a laboratory..."

"But the Qin family seems to have offended some forces over there. The laboratory was bombed once. My grandfather and a few surviving warriors escaped desperately. They hid in the safe area for a long time, and hunted A lot of strange beasts were used as food, so they rushed back to the capital of Linghan..." The village chief sighed, "Actually, our king has long been unwilling to do business with the Kingdom of Dawn, because we can't get anything valuable in exchange. The life and supplies in the border refuge are not as good as our village. After this incident, he completely cut off communication with that side. According to legend, the people in our Linghan Capital were all survivors from the Dawn Empire who migrated over the mountains. But that's just a legend. When the attitude there is not right, we won't go there again."

"The most important point is that we have never disclosed the exact location of our lives. On the side of the Dawn Empire, at most they know that there is a frozen country on the other side of Hengduan Mountain."

"...No, we don't know." Lu Qing scratched his head, a little in disbelief, "We have only seen legends about your country in travel notes."

The village chief was stunned for a moment, "Then... maybe your royal family or the research group suppressed the news?"

"Are you sure you are doing business in the Dawn Empire? Have you connected with the royal family?" Lu Qing had no choice but to suspect that there were actually various caravans in the outer refuges. There is no good thing for the country to trade, right?Like before, there are not a few offerings made by the gods to the gods every year!

The village chief looked blank, "No... Isn't the prince a royal family?"

"..." It's not right to say no, but to say yes... This, this is obviously cheated!Lu Qing hesitated to speak, for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Shen Yi also felt helpless: "The royal family...although it was weak a hundred years ago, it still had some prestige. The prince you mentioned...do you remember which family's prince it is? He may be dealing with you personally. Wealth... He probably thinks that you are just ordinary people with stronger strength, and you brought too many trading items that time. He also doesn't believe that you are from the west of Hengduan Mountain. After all, the natural moat of Hengduan Mountain It’s hard to get over it.”

As for the collusion between the prince of the royal family and the Qin family... Ah, isn't it normal?She had been the puppet empress for so many years, so what could she do if she was not strong enough.

The village chief didn't really believe it, but his father told him these things.His grandfather narrowly escaped death and returned to the capital of Linghan. Although the king stopped trading, he also punished his grandfather and directly drove their family out of the capital.Their family has been moving out and stayed in other places, but those lords did not want to see them.Finally, his father led everyone to the foot of Hengduan Mountain and established a village here.

His grandfather was depressed, was ridiculed and insulted by those lords, and couldn't stand the bumpy road, so he passed away on the road.

These past events, he recalled, were all one-sided.What exactly happened, probably only the person involved can know. As for more, who is the transaction with?Grandpa didn't want to mention these things at all at that time, and my father didn't know about it. Even the village chief only knew that he was a royal prince.

Now that he suddenly heard these words from these guests who came from afar, the village chief didn't know the truth and didn't believe it, but he couldn't help but wonder if it was true.If it was as Lu Qing guessed, it would be too unbelievable.The people of Linghan City, they can't be so stupid!

"Forget it, those are all in the past tense. The Shuguang Empire no longer exists, and the Qin and Zhou companies have also closed down. Now the rising power on the other side of Hengduan Mountain is 'Looking at the Light'." Lu Qing didn't bother to continue thinking deeply, If you want to know the contradictory deeds of the previous generation, you probably have to write back and ask Lu Zhiyi and Le Yiyang, or ask the Pope?The high-ranking members of the Qin Clan died all over the place, and those side branches who surrendered were not very high-ranking, and they didn't know if they knew about it... Forget it, just write a letter later and ask the giant eagle to send it back to ask.

Even if you can't cooperate with Linghan Capital, you can cooperate with this village first.As long as the village chief agrees, Lu Qing plans to build a signal tower here, otherwise it would be too troublesome not to be able to instant message.

The village head looked gloomy. He drank a few sips of tea, sighed, and then continued: "If you want to go to Linghan Capital, you have to go west. If you run, you have to run for half a month... you can see the outermost There are four capitals in the Linghan Capital, namely the City of Ice, the City of Snow, the City of Ling, and the City of Cold... In the words of your Dawn Empire, this is the name. Of course, in our language It actually has other meanings."

"As for us, as long as we grow up to three years old, our physical fitness will become stronger and stronger, and then our ability will become mature, and it will not gradually degenerate until we are four or fifty years old. In our country, there is a kind of gem that is crystal clear all over the body. It emits a pure ice and snow breath. The warrior gets the gem and wears it with him for a month, and after surviving the erosion of the ice and snow breath, he can gain the ability to mobilize the ice and snow. However, if the gem is taken away, this ability will disappear." The village chief said in a low voice. : "These gems are monopolized by the king and nobles, and the city lords of the four capitals will get the ice and snow gems. As for the strength... According to the records, it should be similar to the second-level power user who masters the ice and snow ability on your side, right? Of course, the purer the gemstone, the more abundant its energy, and the longer it is worn, the more powerful its ability will be, and there are also people who can display a third-level or stronger strength. These people who hold gemstones are called "Ice Envoys" and are Ling The most precious force in the cold capital."

Apparently, they don't have it anymore.

This... seems like a good thing!Lu Qing rubbed her chin, and she had to play with the heights.Control ice and snow?She has been a violent melee combat for so long, can she finally experience long-distance combat?

The village chief felt that he had said almost everything he could say, so he looked at Lu Qing and the others quietly.Su Diechang began to seriously talk about the history of the collapse of the Dawn Empire and the history of the rise of Guguang.

After saying this, the village chief went back to the house and took out some very old books. The pages of the books were all yellow, but they were well preserved.He handed these books to Lu Qing and the others, "Everything about Linghan Capital can be seen here. As for our language... I will find a teacher in the village to teach you."

"Thank you!" Lu Qing took the book with both hands, thanked him earnestly, and said sincerely: "I wonder if you are willing to cooperate with Guguang? It's not the capital of Linghan, but you."

"If possible, I would like to build a signal tower in this village, so that I can communicate with my companions on the other side of Hengduan Mountain at any time. We will also send people to help you renovate the village. These wooden houses are hard to keep out the cold. Regarding supplies, we can also provide them here and trade with you.” To be honest, if it is a trade, it is of course better to trade with the city lords of the four cities or the king of the Linghan Capital, but after knowing the basics of this country After receiving the message, Lu Qing felt that he could wait a little longer.

Any cooperation must be based on interests.The hot weapons and various items and props they brought this time may be able to impress the king of the Linghan Capital, but because of the historical hatred (destruction of the caravan), Lu Qing is not sure whether there will be generals there. They swallowed the thought of the cargo in one go.Let's discuss this matter with the Pope and the others to exchange information.

As for now, it is also good to just rest and play in this small village and enjoy the charm of ice and snow.

The village chief looked at them, nodded slowly, and agreed.
