Chapter 1669: Pretend and Resolute

"Lord Leo, ahead is the Halberd Peak Post. We'd better rest for a day and wait until we hit the road tomorrow. This guy is already too tired from driving in the dark storm for several days in a row." Hancock looked at the tall Halberd Peak Post.

Seeing the light smoke and fluttering flags, he slightly pulled down the scarf covering his mouth and nose, and suggested to Leo who seemed to be sleeping behind him.

Four days have passed since Palm Rock. During these four days, they did not stop on the road. Even if they encountered a very strong snowstorm, they were still on the road. During this high-intensity rush, not only

Hancock only consumed a lot of energy, and the long-haired beast under him had probably never experienced such a task. When he entered the entrance of the Blade Canyon just now, he had already felt that the long-haired beast was starting to stagger when walking, so

That's why he would make such a proposal.

If the people traveling with him were just ordinary people, he would not talk nonsense and ask the other person's thoughts. He would be the authority on the snowfield. But on the road, he discovered that Leo, a seemingly ordinary man, was actually extraordinary.

Ou's status in his heart has been raised to the same level as Filoria. Even if Leo made an excessive request to travel for several days in a row, he did not dare to refute it.

However, he also had to admit that Leo's suggestion of traveling continuously was very correct, because he found that this year's black storm seemed to be different from before.

Originally, according to his estimation, starting from the day he left Palm Rock, the first black storm of the year should have weakened and disappeared within two or three days at most. But in fact, just yesterday, he found that not only did the black storm show no signs of weakening,

, on the contrary, it has strengthened a lot, and the momentum of the storm is still strengthening today. It seems that this black storm may last for more than ten days, or even longer.

There is no doubt that if Leo hadn't proposed a continuous journey and walked in the snowfield when the black storm intensified, even an old leader like him would have been in danger of getting lost.

Sitting on the armchair made of shelves at the back, Leo heard Hancock's suggestion. He did not answer, just nodded, and continued to sort and absorb the books.

After receiving the response, Hancock immediately controlled the long-haired beast and walked towards the outpost. Perhaps he knew that he could rest when he arrived at the outpost, so the long-haired beast moved much faster and soon arrived outside the outpost.

This was not the first time Hancock had visited the outpost. He did not ask the people inside the outpost if they could enter. When he arrived at the door, he directly controlled the long-haired beast and walked into the compound of the outpost, then jumped down and pulled the long-haired beast.

The beast came to an animal shed not far away with a roof that had collapsed, and led the long-haired beast to the middle of two parallel wooden shelves in the shed. Then he let the long-haired beast lie down, and the cargo rack on the long-haired beast's back happened to be stuck.

On the wooden frame, it reduces the burden of the long-haired beast.

After that, he took out some hay flour cakes specially for the long-haired beasts from the shelves, fed them to the long-haired beasts, and then let them rest. In fact, at this time, the shelves should be completely removed from the long-haired beasts.

, but now he is alone. After moving the shelves away, he may not be able to move them back again. He can only let the long-haired beast rest in this slightly awkward way for the time being.

After taking care of the long-haired beast, he jumped onto the shelf and whispered respectfully to Leo: "Master Leo, we can go to the lighting room above to rest now. There should be a bonfire set by the guard station there, which will keep us warm.

a lot of."

After hearing Hancock's suggestion, Leo temporarily stopped absorbing and sorting out the books, stood up from his chair, and motioned for Hancock to lead the way.

One after another, the two people soon arrived at the ignition room of the beacon tower above the outpost. At this time, they could smell an alluring aroma coming from the house. Hancock was so tempted by the aroma that he couldn't help but swallow it.

He drooled, but he didn't push the door forward and go in. Instead, he looked at the two naked bodies that were frozen to death and neatly placed aside.

Judging from the Movit Road city flag covering the corpses, it was obvious that the people who handled the two corpses had special feelings for these two people and were unwilling to let the two corpses be left naked in the open air.

The need to give the two corpses some dignity also gave Hancock an instinctive liking for the people in the room.

As for the clothes on the body, Hancock guessed that the people in the house had taken them off and put them on himself. Hancock did not feel excessive about this behavior, because the dead did not need clothes to keep out the cold, only the living.

Yes, it is normal for people like them walking on the snowfield to use the same method to deal with the clothes and belongings of their companions when encountering similar situations.

Hancock withdrew his gaze from the body, and then walked to the door. He did not open the door and went in. Instead, he knocked politely. After hearing someone coming in, he opened the door and went in without looking.

When Leo saw the two corpses behind him, a sneer appeared on his face. Apparently Leo's etiquette towards the two corpses was different from Hancock's.

After entering the house, the surrounding air was warmed a lot by the fiercely burning bonfire in the fireplace.

"Close the door! Close the door quickly!" However, the people in the room didn't think so. After Leo entered the room, he shouted at Leo with great dissatisfaction.

Leo turned around and closed the door, then walked to the fireplace alone, found an open space to sit down, and continued to sort and absorb the books.

Hancock did not rest immediately, but greeted the person in the room: "Hello, I am Hancock from the Ice Bear Chamber of Commerce. Are you a guard at the outpost?"

"What guards? They are just criminals sent to suffer. My name is Quining." The man did not put down the food in his hand. While eating, he asked Hancock: "I remember the Ice Bear Chamber of Commerce is a big chamber of commerce.

, last time your Chamber of Commerce team had hundreds of hairy beasts and thousands of people, why are there only two of you this time? Did you get separated in the black storm?"

"No." Hancock shook his head, but did not explain too much.

Quining didn't ask any more questions. He pointed directly to the open space next to the fireplace and said, "You can find a place to rest by yourself! I'm the only one here."

Hancock cleared an open space next to Leo, then looked at the bowl filled with hot food in Quinine's hand, then looked at the pot placed next to the campfire, and asked: "The food in your pot can be sold.

Give it to me?"

"A silver naka." Quining responded coldly, and then added, "A bowl of silver naka."

"A silver naka! Are you crazy?" Hancock glared at Quining with great dissatisfaction and said, "A silver naka can buy thousands of bowls, and you actually..."

"If it's too expensive, you don't have to buy it." Quining glanced at Hancock and said, "Yes, you can buy thousands of bowls on Movit Road, but don't forget, that's Movit Road, and this is Changchun Road.

Jifeng Post can provide you with thousands of bowls at any time, but I only have this pot here." After saying that, he smiled slightly contemptuously and said: "Of course you can steal that pot of food, I am not as strong as you.

, I won’t resist either.”

Hancock looked at Quinine with a gloomy face. If it weren't for Leo, he might really snatch the pot of food, or even beat him up, and then throw him outside and let him fend for himself.

, anyway, it’s not like he has never done such a thing, but now he is not the only one here, there is also Leo. If he does this, then Philoria may know about it, and he may also be very happy by then.

It is difficult to gain a foothold in the Ice Bear Chamber of Commerce.

Thinking of this, he planned to hold back his hunger and have a big meal when he went to Movit Road tomorrow. However, the food in the pot had an unusual aroma. Under the influence of this aroma, his hunger was much stronger than usual.

Times, a hundred times. In the end, he could not hold back such a strong sense of hunger. He took out his wallet from his arms, took out two silver nakas, threw them to the quinine aside, then directly picked up the wooden bowl on the ground and opened the pot.

He opened the lid and scooped out two bowls of food. He then placed one bowl in front of Leo and the other to his mouth. He blew on the hot air and planned to swallow it.

Relieve hunger and warm your cold body.

"Is it okay to eat this kind of stuffed food?" At this time, Leo suddenly said.

Upon hearing Leo's words, Hancock immediately put down the bowl beside his mouth and spit out the little food he had eaten.

If it were anyone else, Hancock would definitely not listen, but he completely believed Leo's words. After seeing Leo use his magical power to block the most dangerous ice blade hell in the black storm, the two of them

The relationship between primary and secondary has been lost.

"Damn it! What did you add to it?" Hancock directly pulled out the long knife from his waist and pointed it at Quinine and asked.

At this moment, Quining seemed a little scared and panicked. He completely lost the calm state just now. He took a few steps back and said hurriedly: "I just added some mushrooms dug from the mountain. I didn't add anything else. If the

If there is something wrong with the food, then I will definitely have something wrong if I eat it now!"

With that said, in order to prove his innocence, Quining quickly swallowed the bowl of food in his hand, and then showed an innocent look.

Seeing what Quining was doing now, Hancock hesitated for a moment, but he did not put down the long knife in his hand. Instead, he slowly took two steps forward, handed the bowl in his hand to the other party, and said: "I'm

You also ate the bowl."

Seeing what Hancock did, Quining suddenly showed a panicked look on his face, and glanced towards the door not far away.

Seeing Quinine's behavior, Hancock naturally didn't need to ask any more questions. He just saw Hancock directly pouring the steaming food in the bowl towards him. The other party obviously didn't expect that Hancock would do this.

He took action decisively, and for a moment he was unprepared. Food was splashed on his face, and his eyes closed involuntarily. Then he felt a pain in his heart. When he opened his eyes, he saw that Hancock had just stabbed him.

The knife in his heart was pulled out, and he felt weak and collapsed on the ground, unconscious.

Although the other party was not dead yet, Hancock still grabbed the other party by the collar, dragged him out of the house, went directly to the edge of the beacon tower, and dropped him at the guard post. Only a dull sound came from below.

Come up.

After returning to the house, Hancock took the pot of food outside and dumped it, cleaned the pot with snow on the ground, then filled the pot with snow and returned to the house, placed it on the bonfire, and then took it out again.

I picked up some dough that was as dry and hard as stone, and threw it into the pot to cook.

Although Hancock had prepared enough food, this food could only be used to satisfy his hunger. There was no need to think about whether it was delicious or not, especially after eating this dry biscuit for a few days, he smelled the smell of this food.

I almost felt like vomiting.

"Why not leave him alive to ask him why he attacked us?" At this time, Leo asked Hancock somewhat abruptly.

Hancock was stunned, because this seemed to be the first time that Leo asked him about something in the past few days, so he thought about it seriously and said: "The guy just now should be a criminal from Movit Road. The reason why he

We were sent here as outpost guards to reduce our sentences. As for taking action against us, they probably saw that there were only two of us. They felt that we were separated from the caravan and had some valuable goods in our hands, so it was not a temporary move.

We have been assigned by some force to wait here to attack us. If someone on Movit Road really wants to attack our Ice Bear Chamber of Commerce, they will secretly send a large number of people into the snowfield to intercept us, and they will not choose to attack here at the Changji Peak Post.

, because this place is too close to Movit Road, and any big move will be known to Movit Road immediately. You must know that even though our Ice Bear Chamber of Commerce has many enemies on Movit Road, there are also many

Allied forces, those allies will not see anything happen to us."

After listening to Hancock's explanation, Leo thought for a moment and then asked: "Is Movit Road very messy?"

"Of course it's not chaotic. Compared to other cities in the polar mountains, Movit Road is the most stable. At least on Movit Road you don't have to worry about someone suddenly rushing out and stabbing you in the stomach." Hancock

Patiently explained: "However, stability is relative. After all, the cities in the polar mountains were built by tribes of all sizes. These tribes have now become the powerful nobles in the city, and there is no need to compete for power at all.

Few, but even if they fight fiercely, it will only be their internal affairs and will not affect the outside world, let alone civilians. What civilians and outsiders really need to be careful about on Movit Road are the gangs and their methods.

It's quite ruthless, that guy just now should be a member of a gang."

When Leo was about to ask for more detailed information about Movit Road or the polar mountains, he suddenly seemed to sense something. He looked over to where Movit Road was sitting, and followed the expression on his face.

With a puzzled look on his face, he stood up and walked outside, looking in the direction of Movit Road. His eyes seemed to penetrate the cascading mountains of the Blade Canyon and saw what he wanted to see at the end.

He only heard him saying to himself: "What's going on? Why is she coming to Movit Road? Did she know in advance that I was coming, so did she come to pick me up?"
