Chapter 56: Icelandic Island Scenery

After one night, the Ice and Snow Island was no longer worthy of its reputation. The entire island was covered with white except for the sky.

With a "creak~" sound in the clean world, the sound of the wooden door opening broke the solid color world.

Inside the wooden door that opened inward, a shadow appeared in front of the snow about a foot, blocked the dazzling snow light that he suddenly saw with his hands, shook his body, turned around and returned to the house to pick up the tools, and began to clean up the snow in front of the room.

"Christoff, how early is it today?" After a while, the neighbors opened the doors one after another and cleared the snow in front of their respective rooms.

After the battle some time ago, Christopher bid farewell to his only relative, and returned to reality when he was sad, working hard for the rest of his life.

He knew from a long time that he was not his father's biological child, but was just an adopted son adopted by Alf. He asked his neighbors and learned that Alf came to settle in Ice and Snow Island more than ten years ago.

However, because Ice and Snow Island's kindness to civilians made many civilians and even slaves on the mainland flee here to settle down, the residents of the island were used to the sudden addition of new neighbors, so no one went to ask about Alf's past.

Christopher did not even find out his father's identity before Alf died in battle, but according to his speculation, Alf was either a pirate or a soldier.

He didn't care about this either. Christoph had this idea purely because he was curious and had no extra thoughts.

But now Alf died in a sudden battlefield in order to protect Christoph, making everything that once became meaningless.

Christopher looked up at the sky, turned around and greeted the neighbor: "Yes, Uncle Kley, are you getting up so early too?"

"I'm old and can't sleep in the morning." Kley seemed to think of something and said to Christopher: "Christoff, take advantage of the blizzard that time, and clean up quickly. As far as I can see, there will be a bigger snowfall coming if I can't wait for the night."

"Okay Uncle Kley." Christopher replied, lowered his head to clean up the snow in front of the room.

"Bangbang~!" A sound came from the direction of the castle. While knocking on a wooden tube, some soldiers shouted loudly: "Lord, in order to protect the territorial home, soldiers are now recruited. If you want, you can sign up."

"Bangbang~!" "The Lord Lord ordered that in order to protect the territory's home, soldiers are now recruited. If you are willing, you can sign up."...

The soldiers repeated the order on one side after walking for a while, so that all residents on both sides of the street could hear it.

Upon hearing this, Christopher stopped sweeping the snow. He returned to the house and put down his tools and immediately rushed to the registration place outside the castle.

The reason why Ice and Snow Island has only started recruiting soldiers now is that in addition to waiting for the arrival of the Ice Sea Age, even if it is recruiting soldiers, it is necessary to make some preparations. It is not to ask for people to recruit soldiers immediately.

When Christopher arrived at the place, he didn't expect that there were a lot of people who signed up for the army and they all lined up in a long line.

Ice and Snow Island is so enthusiastic about joining the army because of the battle some time ago. For example, if a relative like Christopher died in the battle, joining the army at this time is also to have the opportunity to take revenge.

Some people are purely afraid of facing unknown fate again, fearing that they will be taken away by others if they are accidentally killed.

Originally, the residents on the island were thinking about watching the fun of the wars in the south of the mainland, but they didn't expect that when the war really happened, they were so close to them.

After Christopher successfully signed up for the army, he moved into the military camp behind the castle.

The military camp is built on the hillside behind the Lord's Castle. It is far away from residential areas. Training can be carried out in the mountains. The most important thing is to be close to the castle.

"Start up, today's goal is to get to the camp behind the mountain." A knight commanded the recruits and trained the soldiers' physical fitness.

In the snow and snow, Christopher was wearing a gray military uniform, walking deep and shallow in the snow, following the soldiers in front of him and moving towards his destination.

The branches of the tall and straight cold trees on the roadside were covered with ice and snow. The soldiers were far away from their subordinates, fearing that the hanging upside down ice would suddenly fall.

After walking through the pavement and crossing the ridge, a cliff in front suddenly blocked the way, but the soldiers did not stop and continued to march forward.

When I got under the cliff and turned a huge rock, I realized that there was another cave behind it. It was not an adjective, but there was really a cave under the cliff.

The soldiers entered the cave one by one with a familiarity. There was no torch when they entered the cave, but it was as clear as the outside world. The ice cone above their heads and the ice wall beside them could be clearly seen.

As soon as you enter the cave, the knight who was commanding loudly outside no longer makes a sound, because too loud sound may cause the sharp ice cone above your head to fall off. In other words, as long as you don't make a sound, the cave will be safe and the ice cone above your head will not fall for no reason.

It turned out that this cliff was made up of solid ice. This was an iceberg. There was nothing else on the ice and snow island. Even if there was enough ice and snow, there was nothing that made the soldiers curious. However, the soldiers took a few more glances because of the ice cave directly leading to the opposite side.

Walking through a narrow ice cave, what comes into view is a paradise.

The green grassland is mixed with some flowers and plants, and there are still a few butterflies that fly from some unknown places, and flying insects are flying leisurely around the flowers.

With a few bustling green trees, some animals suddenly regarded this place as their homes, and some animals that were obviously natural enemies in the outside world could get along well here.

However, because of the arrival of the soldiers, the tranquil scenery here broke the place, and the animals fled one after another, making the soldiers' faces full of regret.

"Stay rest for a while." The knight issued a order to trim, and the soldiers' bodies relaxed as if they were burdened and sat on the lawn one by one.

Christopher also stretched out his legs and sat on a grass slope, holding a tender grass at the corner of his mouth, and supported his raised body with his hands, looking up at the ice dome above his head. All the sunlight shone through the ice layer into this space, rays of colorful fluorescence.

I don’t know how this place was formed. The temperature inside the iceberg was so warm that he couldn’t help but want to take off the leather robe.

"Okay, soldiers, keep moving forward." After a while of rest, the knight gave the order to continue the march.

The soldiers did not disturb the peace here. Apart from the few flowers and plants that were pulled out casually, leaving a row of footprints, nothing else was taken away and nothing was left.

After letting the animals hiding in secret places wait for a while, they confirmed that these humans showed no sign of returning, then ran out of their respective hiding places and played and danced in this small space.

After walking through a long ice cave, the team entered a valley, and a dark river revealed a section of it in the valley. The unfreezing river water allowed the soldiers to replenish enough water.

After walking out of the valley, the team climbed up a small hill. The location of the Silver Mine in Ice and Snow Island is located at the base of the mine. However, the mine was carried out by sea and you could quickly reach the bottom of the mountain from the other direction.

Under the command of the knights, the recruits went down the mountain from behind the hill, walked across a winding and rugged mountain path, and came to an ice lake. At this time, the ice lake had already frozen, and the thick ice layer was enough for everyone to walk steadily on it.

There is a small village next to the ice lake, with a small amount of smoke floating in the sky from the houses covered with ice and snow. It seems that this village should have lived on this ice lake.

After passing the ice lake, it was the camp that the knights called. There was a forest around the camp, with needle-shaped leaves and hard and straight trunks rising straight up to the sky.

The camp was built to collect trees. These trees were transported to the harbor and finally built into sea boats. However, the camp has been abandoned for a long time and has become a temporary residence for training soldiers.

In fact, this road was discovered by people from Ice and Snow Island when they explored the entire island a long time ago, but the current road is still very different from before. For example, the ice cave was only discovered a few years ago.
