Winter was the harshest season in the Northern Lands. The howling cold wind was as sharp as a blade, and it was difficult to break the solid ice with a hammer. The snow-covered ground was almost impassable for any vehicle, not to mention the most deadly, bone-piercing cold.
When it was the coldest, he would take a cup of hot water out of the house and walk around the house. When he poured the water back down, it would be cold water mixed with rustling ice shards. When it landed on the ground, it would not scatter, but would freeze into a small icicle.
In this terrible weather, who wanted to do outdoor activities? That was definitely a case of the god of longevity hanging himself, tired of living.
However, outdoor activities could be carried out in Void City. With the help of His Majesty the Void Mask's Divine Power Bounded Domain, the cold was blocked outside the Bounded Domain. Of course, it was not that the city was not cold, but the temperature was not so cold that it was unbearable. As long as one did not run around in summer clothes, even ordinary autumn clothes were enough to resist the cold for a short period of time. As for those who were wearing winter clothes, many could not help but take off some of them to avoid the heat.
"Year 20 of the Republic, December 25, sunny. Outdoor temperature 5 degrees, northeasterly wind level 2, good air quality. " Cambrona wrote this line at the top of the daily government record, and then sent the record to the archives.
As a staff member on duty in the municipal office this week, he got off work a little later than usual for six consecutive days, and he had to work overtime on weekends. Sending the record to the archives every day was an important part of his work.
After finishing his work, he packed up his things and came to the door of the government office. His wife was already waiting for him in casual clothes. Beside her, there was a rental carriage. The coachman was holding a picture book and reading it with a smile. He seemed to have forgotten himself.
"Where are we going for dinner today?" he asked with a smile.
"Prole Restaurant," Jane replied with the same smile. "Tomorrow is Beta Barbecue, and the day after tomorrow is Frog Prince Hotel."
"Ha, you're all ready."
"Well, they agreed to have a special price every day until the celebration," Jane said with a smile. "Let's go. Those low-end restaurants are fine, but Prole Restaurant is a high-end restaurant. If we're late, there will be no seats."
"I think even if we go now, there may be no seats left …"
"Don't worry, I've already booked it before I came. They said they would wait for us for half an hour."
Cambrona was relieved. He held his wife's hand and boarded the carriage next to them.
The coachman put away the album and gently waved his whip. The sturdy pack horse pulled the carriage forward.
Thanks to the flatness of the road, the car moved quickly and steadily. Soon, they arrived at the famous restaurant.
Without waiting for the coachman to put down the pedals, Cambrona jumped out of the carriage. As an official registered knight of the Knights of Tolerance, he could jump down from three or four floors without a scratch, let alone this height.
Seeing him standing next to the car door, Jane jumped into his arms without waiting for the pedals. He caught her firmly and held her in his arms.
"Am I too heavy?" she asked.
"No, it is very light," said Cambrona. "I rather think you eat too little. It is not healthy."
"But I'll get fat if I eat too much."
"What's wrong with being fat? It's cute to be fat! "
Seeing the two of them shooting flashbangs as if there was no one else around, the young driver sighed and advised, "You two, even if you want to show off your love, don't do it on the streets! Also, can you please take this bag with you? I still have to do business. "
Cambrona hurriedly put his wife down, touched his nose, and smiled awkwardly.
After taking their bags from the coachman and paying the fare, the couple entered the door talking and laughing. They said a few words to the greeter at the door and gave their reservation number. Then, the greeter took them to the seats specially reserved for them and told the kitchen to prepare the dishes.
Just as they were about to walk into the depths of the hall, Jane suddenly frowned slightly, turned around, and looked outside the door.
"What's wrong?" Cambrona asked.
"It seems like someone is watching us," Jane said. "I don't know if it is my illusion."
"You are so beautiful, it is not strange at all that someone is watching you." Cambrona laughed. "Or maybe he's watching me, trying to figure out how this toad managed to eat swan meat."
"What 'swan meat'! I am already so old … "
"You are still very young. Even in a hundred years, you will still be swan meat."
"Air-dried swan meat?"
"Air-dried swan meat is also very cute! It is the most suitable toad to be dried! "
The two chatted and laughed as they walked away, not taking what had just happened to heart.
At the same time, in a relatively secluded room, an elderly magician with his eyes closed let out a deep breath, and his worried heart finally relaxed.
"What a terrifying intuition. I used magic to spy from a distance and was actually detected!" He opened his eyes again and said with some lingering fear, "As expected of a 'Divine Artifact.' Even if it is now in the form of a mortal, its own status is still there."
"I have to be more careful to avoid provoking her. Otherwise, even if I escape to the ends of the earth, I am afraid I will not escape death! "
"I think you are thinking too much." The voice of a young man suddenly sounded beside him. "Before considering escaping to the ends of the earth, you may have to spend a few years in prison. The Republic of Northwest has always been very strict with espionage activities. "
The magician was stunned and subconsciously raised his hand to touch a ring. But before he could touch the ring that could instantly release a life-saving spell, a gust of cold air had already pressed against his neck. He immediately stopped what he was doing and did not dare to move an inch.
"Very good, your wise decision saved your life." The air around him vibrated slightly, and the figure of the handsome Legendary Master Clito appeared. At the same time, a long black sword appeared on the old magician's neck. The sword was firmly held in Clito's hand. With just a slight push, the spy's neck would be pierced, or even his head would be directly cut off.
With the sharpness of this high-level magic weapon, the latter was more likely.
"I am not a spy." The old magician did not look down on Clito because of his young appearance. Instead, he hurriedly explained, "I am just very curious about that woman …"
"Abducting and selling women and children. If you attempt to do so, you will be sentenced to ten years in prison. If you succeed, you will be sentenced to death. Repeat offenders will even have their souls extracted for further punishment," Clito said expressionlessly.
"I did not intend to abduct and sell her!" The old magician hurriedly cried out. "I only wanted to obtain a little divinity from her …"
Clito was stunned for a moment and looked at the old magician with an even more unfriendly gaze.
"Murder," he said.
"No! You are really mistaken! "The old magician shouted anxiously.
"You don't have to be so loud. Whether it is or not, it is useless to tell me. Save your energy to tell the judge, "Clito said coldly. Clito said coldly. "By the way, the husband of the woman whom you are secretly plotting against is one of Void City's legal advisors. He is usually in charge of working as a lawyer or something. I hope you are not so unlucky as to meet him in court. "
"If you are really that unlucky, you will definitely be sentenced heavily. Cambronne may look tall and strong, but he is actually very narrow-minded …"
