As for visiting the Arctic again, Hao Ren had long had this idea. While the demon hunters' civil war had ended and the MDT had sampled and analyzed the most important relics of the goddess in Coldpath, he still left in a hurry. At that time, the demon hunters had just settled down, but the otherworldlings were in trouble. Hao Ren did not have time to explore Coldpath further and left in a hurry. Now that everything was settled, it was only a matter of time before he went back to investigate.
Now was the time to take advantage of Zhao Xi's incident to get White Flame and Hasse to cooperate with the investigation.
Hao Ren's suggestion was supported by Vivian and Lily. Vivian felt that it was necessary to go to the Arctic herself out of a sense of responsibility, while Lily's husky bloodline was probably encouraging her to go. Hao Ren then looked at the others in the living room. "Who else wants to come?"
Y 'lisabet ran past Hao Ren with a small screwdriver in her hand. "Uncle Ren, I'm not going! I have to stay at home to fix things … "
Last night, Zhao Xi's outburst had burned all the circuits in the house and a few household appliances. Y 'lisabet woke up and was busy fixing things. She had been happily working for two hours now. The little girl was no longer the naughty brat who dismantled everything. She was indeed the princess of the demon empire, educated by Qing Ying. She was a quick learner, and with her experience of dismantling and dismantling things for more than a year, she had pretty much mastered modern electrical appliances. She was now the professional electrician in Hao Ren's house, and basically, she was responsible for fixing everything that was broken.
"I'm not going either." Y 'zaks strolled over with a flower pot in his hand. "Old Lee's house across the street is out, and he asked me to take care of these two pots. It's not easy for me to build a good relationship with the neighbors, so it's time to do it properly."
Hao Ren looked up at the Nangong family of four, but Nangong Wudi waved his hand. "Our family has to stay behind to look after the restaurant. We won't be joining in the fun. I was expelled from the Demon Hunter Organization a hundred years ago, so there's no point in going back a few more times. "
After asking around, the rest of the family had their own things to do. In the end, Rollie was the only one who wanted to join in the fun. She even brought along Lil Pea, who was hopping around to go out with her father. Hao Ren thought for a moment and realized that he had been using all sorts of excuses to leave the two at home when he was out on errands. Now that he thought about it, he felt that he had neglected them. This trip to Coldpath was not dangerous, so he could bring the two of them along.
Of course, considering that Coldpath was located in the freezing Arctic, Lil Pea would have to keep warm. As a strong demon-hunting fish, the little guy would not freeze to death at low temperatures, but she would hibernate as soon as the temperature dropped. She could not change her "racial talent."
"You take care of Lil Pea, and I'll bring you along," Hao Ren said as he took Rollie aside. "As long as she's happy, you'll have dried fish and canned cat food."
Rollie tilted her head and thought for a moment. In her mind, she had successfully equated Lil Pea with her lifelong happiness. She immediately hugged the little mermaid with an expression that said she would protect her with her life. As a cat, no one else could do what she did.
In the end, it was Lily, Vivian, Lil Pea, and Rollie who went with Hao Ren. Altogether, it was a cat, a dog, a fish, and a bat. Hao Ren once again felt like he was moving a zoo …
The last time they left, the MDT had left a spatial coordinate near Coldfrost Citadel. At the same time, Hao Ren had also left a special communication channel with the new demon hunter council. So, when they set off, they sent a message to Coldfrost Citadel. After that, the MDT activated a teleportation portal and sent them to the gate of the ancient citadel standing on the Arctic ice sheet.
Being teleported directly from her warm and comfortable home to the freezing Arctic tundra, Rollie immediately sneezed a few times. Even as a cat demon, she could still feel the degree of temperature change. But soon, the dumb cat's attention was attracted by the magnificent walls of Coldfrost Citadel. She looked up at the towering ice wall and watched as the towering wall disappeared into the dark night sky. As a cat, she began to instinctively calculate the difficulty of climbing the wall, and she was immediately discouraged. "Meow … This is impossible to climb!"
Lil Pea poked her head out of Rollie's collar. The little mermaid giggled in the cold wind and squirmed restlessly. "A big house! A big house! "
"Don't move." Rollie carefully fixed her collar to prevent the cold wind from blowing in. "If you move, I won't have dried fish to eat!"
"Say, why do you want a cat to take care of your fish daughter?" Vivian looked at Hao Ren curiously. "Because of your bad taste?"
Hao Ren chuckled. "Because a cat's body temperature is higher than a human's. Rollie's much warmer than me. This is the Arctic, and Lil Pea likes to roll with me."
Vivian thought for a moment and was shocked. "How do you know Rollie's warm?!"
Hao Ren facepalmed. "What are you thinking? Everyone who owns a cat knows!"
Vivian looked away a little awkwardly. "Oh … It's mainly because Doggie's voice left a deep impression on me …"
Hao Ren was speechless.
While Hao Ren and Vivian were chatting, a creaking sound came from the depths of the thousand-year-old ice gate of Coldfrost Citadel. Under the push of powerful magic, the heavy ice gate slowly rose, and a small group of demon hunters in black came out from the gate to welcome the visitors.
"Back then, I was still fighting with the demon hunters. Now, when I come here, they have to line up to welcome me," Vivian muttered. "If I had known that we were a family, I wouldn't have fought back then. Half of the credit for being poor for so many years is because of these bastards."
Lily also muttered in a low voice, "What's the point of always talking about the past? You killed me once in your past life, what did I say?"
As they spoke, the small group of demon hunters came before Hao Ren. The leader was a familiar face: Claude, the former personal attendant of the first sage and the chief herald of the sages.
Claude came before Hao Ren and his entourage and immediately bowed and greeted them warmly. "I'm so glad to see you again so soon. The elders have received the news and ordered me to receive you."
Lily puffed out her chest and took two steps forward, wagging her tail like a wolf with a big tail (although her tail was really big). "Yup, your late emperor is here for an inspection!"
Hao Ren coughed dryly. "Ahem, how can you say that about yourself?"
Lily's ears twitched. "Then, the late emperor?"
Hao Ren was speechless.
Claude was speechless.
"Just ignore the two of them," Vivian rubbed her forehead helplessly and waved at Claude. "Lead the way, we'll talk as we walk."
Coldfrost Citadel looked a lot livelier than the last time they visited. Demon hunters in black robes could be seen walking on the layers of walls and stairs in the style of a military fortress. The shouts and clashing of weapons could also be heard everywhere in the citadel. "After a big battle, this place seems to be livelier than before," Vivian said casually.
"The last time you came, the sacred land was at war. Almost all the warriors were fighting in the Coldpath dimension. Only one-third of the garrison was stationed in Coldpath. Now that Coldpath is being rebuilt, many places are temporarily uninhabitable. So the remaining Council of Elders and some ordinary soldiers had to move to Coldfrost Citadel, which made it seem more crowded."
Hao Ren whispered after hearing that, "… Most of the people have temporarily come out of Coldpath. That's a good thing."
"What?" Claude did not hear it clearly.
"Nothing," Hao Ren waved his hand. "By the way, don't you have to guard the Netherrealm Clock Tower anymore? I remember White Flame saying that a 'First Attendant' like you has to swear an oath never to leave Coldpath. "
"The sages are gone, so the Attendants are disbanded," Claude said, spreading his hands. "Now the Council of Elders is leading the demon hunters, and we, the original Attendants, have been disbanded and reorganized into the Council of Elders and various battle groups. I joined the Council of Elders and am now the council's clerk. I have the knowledge of more than a dozen generations of Attendants in my head, which can come in handy now. "
Lily immediately chimed in excitedly. "Hey, I also have ancient knowledge in my head!"
But no one paid attention to her.
"We are looking for the person in charge," Hao Ren said after a brief greeting. "Go find Gregowen and Hasse, we have something important to discuss."
