The Witcher: Elemental Lords
#447 - Far North Kingdom
The territory of the Far North Kingdom is very, very large, almost exceeding the sum of the Glory Empire and the Northern Kingdom, occupying most of the Far North, but the population is very small. This country also doesn't have many hostile countries, because other people besides those from the Far North Kingdom rarely come here to live except for doing business. It's just too cold.
It's November now, and the temperature here has already dropped to minus ten degrees Celsius. If you're not a true local, it's simply impossible for outsiders to adapt here.
In November, in some places in the south, only the leaves are a little withered, but here, all the ground is already completely covered by heavy snow, and even caravan activities have completely stopped.
After entering the wasteland, they soon encountered the first village and saw the first humans.
The people of the Far North Kingdom have only one race, which is the Kimo people. The Kimo people are large and robust, with an average height of about two meters. Ordinary people are like this, and professionals are even stronger. They accumulate enough food in the summer and then continue until May of the following year before they can continue planting and hunting.
The staple food of the Kimo people is various kinds of fish. Here, it is perpetually cold, and only one season of food can be planted on the ground, which is simply not enough to eat. Therefore, the Kimo people have the largest sea fishing boats in the world, salvaging various kinds of fish, and then either storing them themselves or taking them out to exchange for various grains with other empires.
The life of the Kimo people is actually very hard.
Dole and Ash used Windwalk to travel, and after seeing this scene, they fell silent.
The Far North is very large. Without using the Wizard Tower to travel, purely using Windwalk, it took them fifteen days to reach the capital of the Kimo people.
The capital of the Kimo people is one of the few buildings in the world built on frozen ground. At this time, the surrounding city walls were covered with a thick layer of ice, which was very thick. On the city walls, many soldiers were patrolling in thick clothes.
Dole and Ash showed their figures from a distance and walked over slowly. Their appearance immediately attracted the attention of the Kimo people.
The height ratio was too different. The two of them were like two children walking into the kingdom of giants, so it's no wonder they attracted attention. Soon, several priests in thin clothes appeared at the city gate.
This situation also attracted the attention of ordinary Kimo people, and they all looked serious. Only when they encountered powerful wizard adults would the priest adults take the initiative to appear at the city gate. It seemed that these two outsiders were wizards.
Some people lowered their heads and dared not look, while others became excited.
Dole and Ash came to the gate, and along the way, they saw various expressions, naturally taking everything into their eyes. When they arrived here, neither of them deliberately hid their strength, directly exposing it in order to attract the wizards of the Far North Kingdom.
When they arrived at the city gate, they also saw the two priests.
The bodies of these two priests were particularly tall, almost two and a half meters. Standing in front of them, Dole and Ash felt like they were two little dwarves.
The two were expressionless, and they didn't even blink their eyes until Dole and Ash walked to the front.
Seeing this, Dole and Ash took the initiative to stop and saluted the two of them, "Greetings to the two priests of the Far North Kingdom."
One of them asked coldly in the common language, "What is your purpose here, and when will you leave?"
Dole looked at Ash and saw that she didn't speak, so he smiled slowly and said, "We are going to the Far North. We came to your country just passing by. It just so happens that we have run out of materials and want to buy some. I hope you can make it convenient for us. We are from the Glory Empire."
He took the initiative to state his origins.
The priest blinked his eyes, and a rare hint of understanding appeared on his white face, but he didn't look at Dole, but at Ash.
He pondered for a moment and said, "The royal family of the Glory Empire has a meditation technique called the Ice and Snow Goddess. Every year, many people go to the Far North to comprehend the Ice and Snow Domain, which has almost the same effect as the Ice Goddess of our Far North Kingdom. It seems that you are a member of the Glory Royal Family?"
Ash nodded and said crisply, "Yes, Priest, I am a member of the Rhine family."
The priest nodded, the two looked at each other, then looked at Dole and the two of them, and said slowly, "Since you are distinguished guests, the Far North Kingdom welcomes you." He stretched out his hand and flicked two rays of light towards Dole and Ash respectively.
Then he turned around and left.
Dole and Ash took the spiritual light, analyzed it separately, and then instantly understood.
There was a lot of information in the spiritual light, some of which were taboos of the Far North Kingdom, such as that you cannot walk around the Temple of the Ice Goddess, and some were information about imperial transactions. This thing was very useful for the two of them.
The two raised their heads, and the two priests had disappeared.
Dole and Ash breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and then, under the strange gazes of the surrounding people, they walked into the city leisurely.
To buy materials, the first choice is definitely various chambers of commerce, and the worst choice is auction houses, because auction houses generally have higher prices, far exceeding the normal price. The information from the two priests includes information about various chambers of commerce, so the two of them don't need to run around.
The Far North Kingdom is different from the Glory Empire. Although this is not a theocratic country, there is such a huge sect as the Ice Goddess Church, which can be said to be the state religion, cultivating and selecting talents for the empire. The Ice Goddess Church has a very detached position, even more detached than the Glory Wizard Alliance of the Glory Empire. As long as the priest speaks, ordinary officials and soldiers will not have any objections.
Of course, the Ice Goddess Church is only responsible for security issues and never cares about administrative matters.

The two of them leisurely entered the city and formally saw the scenery of the capital of the Far North.
A scene of ice and snow.
The capital of the Far North is very large, and the streets are very wide. The only place without ice and snow here is the streets, and except for the streets, the buildings and houses on both sides are now covered with a thick layer of ice. They are also interesting, carving various patterns on the ice, showing a strong exotic atmosphere.
The people of the Far North are relatively simple. The various buildings are straightforward, without too much carving. Many patterns and animal statues are extremely simple, rather than fancy, with a relatively rough style.
Dole quietly admired the various ice sculpture scenes around him, feeling not bad.
Ash also looked at the surrounding scenery with great interest, feeling very novel.
Both of them were dressed as wizards, but they were obviously different from the appearance of local wizards, and the surrounding people were very curious to look at them.
At this moment, Ash suddenly said, "How many people do you think are coveting us around here?"
Dole casually looked around and said carelessly, "With our current strength, there are no less than a dozen forces around who can covet us and think they have the ability to deal with us, but I guess only two or three of them dare to take action. When we revealed our origins just now, those people should have heard it."
Although the Far North is separated from the Glory Empire by nearly one-third of the area of a continent, and they hardly border each other, the Far North is very clear about the Glory Empire as a powerful wizarding country, and there is also contact between the senior wizards of the two families, so the official forces cannot take action. The most likely ones are mercenaries, adventure groups, and some miscellaneous forces.
