Winter had finally arrived, and Isolated Cliff City had turned into a snow-white city. Snow was a very interesting thing for the rich. The snowy scenery was pleasing to the eyes, and when they had nothing to do, they could have snowball fights or build a snowman for fun. But for the poor, snow was a disaster. Their huts would collapse under the weight of the accumulated snow, and their naked bodies would shiver in the cold wind. They might even be frozen stiff. Plus, when the snow covered the entire world, it was not easy to find something to eat.
But for Morrisons, he didn't understand the poetry of snow, nor did he find it scary. He was just a little annoyed. The hot air that came out of his mouth floated up and formed a layer of frost on his eyebrows and eyelashes. Morrisons had to rub it off frequently, or else he wouldn't be able to see the road ahead.
Morrisons turned the corner and walked into Han Jin's yard. For the past few days, Han Jin hadn't left the house at all. He had focused all of his energy on cultivation and making magic treasures. With Han Jin as an example, Léger, Morrisons, and the others also worked hard. Even Winston and the others were influenced. A dragon slayer was already at the top of the pyramid, but he was still working hard. Could they really be satisfied with their current achievements?
"Raphael!" Morrisons called from outside and then pushed the door open. When he saw the scene inside, he was shocked. Han Jin was waving a long whip in his hand. The whip was as flexible as a snake, and every time it moved, it would make an ear-piercing sound.
Seeing Morrisons barge in, Han Jin stopped, but the whip didn't stop. The tip of the whip stood up and pointed at Morrisons, as if it had its own consciousness.
"What is that?" Morrisons felt like he was being stared at by a poisonous snake and couldn't help but take a step back.
"You'll know in the future." Han Jin smiled as he put the whip back into his Space Ring. He noticed that Morrisons was only wearing clothes made of coarse cloth, with most of his chest exposed. He could not help but ask curiously, "Where's your leather armor?"
"When I was fighting with Hayden yesterday, he damaged it."
"It's broken?" Han Jin was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Yalina's second Dragon Scale Armor is about to be completed. How come your armor was destroyed by someone at this time? Isn't that too much of a coincidence? "
"Hehe …" Morrisons scratched his head in embarrassment.
"You! Who do you think you can hide this from?! "Han Jin didn't know whether to laugh or cry." Do you think anyone will fight with you? "
"No …" Morrisons hurriedly explained, "I was afraid that Yalina would sell the dragon scale armor again!"
"To whom? She made it according to your body's proportions. Who can wear it? "
Morrisons said hesitantly, "But … but Yalina said yesterday that she was going to sell the dragon scale armor!"
"She only said that in front of you. She won't say it if you're not there."
"Are you messing with me?"
"Aren't you a bit too slow?"
"I …" Morrisons turned around abruptly and walked outside.
"Sir Sword Saint, are you going to find Yalina?" Han Jin asked with a half-smile.
Morrisons froze, then turned back. The "Sir Sword Saint" had completely woken him up. If he really went to find Yalina, he would definitely be the loser, no matter if it was a competition of wits or limbs. Was he looking for trouble?!
"Why are you looking for me?" Han Jin asked.
"Oh … it's like this. The caravan from Cold Shadow City has arrived. They've brought a large number of slaves. Gibran, Julia, and the others want to see it. Sunier and the others also want to go. Are you going?"
"Slaves? What's there to see? "
"Don't you feel bored staying in your room all day? Just think of it as a distraction. " Morrisons said, "We've only heard of Cold Shadow City before. This is the first time their caravan has come to Isolated Cliff City. Let's go and see what's going on."
"Under normal circumstances, the appearance of a large number of slaves means the destruction of a city or a duchy." Sassoux continued from outside, "If I'm not wrong, Kuman City should have completely disappeared. Cold Shadow City's sphere of influence has expanded to the front line of Depew City. Haha … this is a great help to Holy Crown City. Lord Malishen of Depew City definitely won't dare to continue attacking Holy Crown City. He must withdraw his troops to protect himself. Zagunéd's hometown has been occupied by us, and now that he's lost his ally, he may not be able to withstand Dismark's crazy counterattack alone. Just wait and see, the situation in the Northeast region will change drastically!"
"How is that possible?" Morrisons said in shock, "I heard that Kuman City is very powerful. They can't be destroyed so quickly, can they?"
"Kuman City occupies the entrance to the Frozen Plateau. If they still have some strength, how did Cold Shadow City's caravan come here?" Sassoux said, "I heard that Chesam, the Lord of Cold Shadow City, is a Thunder Titan, a true Super Class Master! Plus, he's very ambitious and isn't satisfied with his current achievements. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent his caravan out so quickly. "
"Why do you say that?" Han Jin asked.
"Cold Shadow City's caravan brought over three thousand slaves. What does Chesam want to do? Just to exchange for magic crystals? Haha … that's just one of his goals. " Sassoux said, "He wants to show off his strength and achievements. At the same time, he wants to take the opportunity to observe the situation of each duchy so that he can choose his next opponent."
"If he wants to come to Isolated Cliff City, his caravan must pass through Depew City. If he wants to take a shortcut, he still has to pass through Holy Crown City. Isn't he worried that something might happen to his caravan?" Morrisons said.
"It would be great if something really happened. Chesam would have enough reason to start another war."
"Is this your opinion?" Han Jin asked.
"No, it's everyone's opinion. We've been talking about Chesam since this morning." Sassoux said, "Léger has already gone to take a look. Cold Shadow City's caravan is no ordinary caravan. There are actually more than twenty powerful Ice Mages escorting them. Let's go, we'll go take a look and try to understand more about them."
Han Jin pondered for a moment, then nodded. "Okay."
If they were just mercenaries, then they wouldn't be interested in Chesam. The problem was, they already had their own city. Even though everything was still in its infancy, it still belonged to them! Now that a powerful force had suddenly popped out of the Frozen Plateau, it made them feel very uneasy.
Gibran and the others had been waiting for a long time. The two groups of people walked out of the encampment one after the other. The cold and snow didn't cause much trouble for the professionals, and the streets were still bustling with people.
This group was very interesting. Gibran and Julia walked at the front. The two of them had already reconciled, and even though they spent every day together, they still had endless things to talk about. Han Jin and Sunier walked at the back. The two of them didn't have time to spend together because Han Jin needed to cultivate. Sunier didn't want to miss this opportunity, so she pretended not to see the teasing smiles of others and forced herself to drag Han Jin to the back.
When they were about to reach the market, a petite figure suddenly rushed out of an alley and stopped Gibran and Julia. She said in a slightly trembling voice, "Big brother, do you want to buy flowers?"
It was a girl about sixteen or seventeen years old. She wasn't very beautiful, but she was still pretty. However, her clothes were too shabby. She wore a pair of flowery shoes, and her left foot was already open. A few toes stuck out from the opening, and they were covered in melted mud. Her clothes were obviously a few sizes too small, probably because her family was poor. Her body was growing too fast, and she didn't have time to buy new clothes. As a result, her forearms and calves were exposed to the air, and they were already blue from the cold. Moreover, the collar was very low and tight, and one could even see the outline of her developing body.
She was dressed like Moxinke when he was bare-chested. Moxinke didn't feel cold, but the girl couldn't. All the bouquets in the basket were shaking because she was shivering all the time.
Gibran didn't say anything. He took out something and threw it into the basket. Then, he picked up a bouquet of flowers and handed it to Julia with a smile.
The girl hurriedly reached into the basket and rummaged through it. When she saw what it was, she was stunned for a moment before she reacted. However, Gibran and Julia were already far away. The girl kept bowing and saying, "Thank you … Thank you … Thank you."
"Little girl, let me see what flowers you're selling." Morrisons went up. He sympathized with her and was about to buy a bouquet of flowers, even though he didn't have a suitable target to give them to.
The girl's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly raised the basket. Morrisons was a little taller than her. "Uncle, do you want to buy flowers?"
Morrisons's hand froze, and a wave of anger rose in his heart. However, he couldn't lose his temper with the poor girl in front of him. He could only snort and continue walking forward without buying flowers.
"Uncle, buy a flower … Uncle!" The girl was full of hope. Of course, she wouldn't let Morrisons go. She followed behind Morrisons with small steps and kept calling out.
The more the girl called out, the angrier Morrisons became. The most infuriating thing was that Sassoux, Léger, and the others kept snickering. If it was a man selling flowers, Morrisons would have already punched him! He was just in his early twenties! How did he become an uncle?!
"Little girl, you're wrong. If you called him little brother, he would've bought your flowers long ago," Sassoux shouted, as if he wanted to see the world in chaos.
"Little brother?" The girl tried her best to catch up with Morrisons. She looked at him curiously from the side. That black beard … Was that a little brother?
However, because she was eager to make a deal, she chose to compromise in the end. "Little brother, buy a flower!"
"Go away!" Morrisons couldn't take it anymore and shouted.
The girl was shocked. Her legs turned to jelly, and she couldn't help but sit down in the snow.
Morrisons was stunned. He took out a gold coin and threw it into the basket. He bent down and picked up a bouquet of flowers, and walked forward angrily.
The girl stared at the basket in a daze. She couldn't believe her eyes. What was wrong with her today? Why was she using gold coins to buy flowers from a random person?
Just as the girl was in a daze, a hand reached in front of her. It was Sassoux.
Sassoux wanted to help her, but she was very cautious. She moved back twice and climbed up from the ground with her own strength.
