The two came to the inner city of Green Rock. Munin arranged for Momo, found a place to store the horses and things, and then walked to the blue lake.
Nothing happened along the way. When he returned to the bottom of the lake, his Primordial Spirit returned to his body. He sat quietly and adjusted his breath. After a few hours, he returned to normal.
Then, he used six spirit stones to cultivate. He only reached the peak of the eighth level of Nourishment Realm and could not break through the bottleneck.
The spirit bean incarnation that merged with the Green Jade Spirit Lotus did not disappear. He used another spirit bean to merge with it and attached his main Primordial Spirit. He had fifteen chances to attack.
…
Snowfield Country, a small country in the western region. It used to be a vassal of the Heng dynasty. The royal family gave the surname Shen.
After the fall of the Heng dynasty, it was "independent".
The country was like its name, with endless snowy mountains and ice fields.
The snow didn't melt all year round, and the white snow stretched as far as the eye could see. Most places were bitterly cold.
However, the big ice lake in the country was particularly rich in aquatic products. It was completely self-sufficient.
Ruihong City, the capital of Snowfield Country. It was backed by the big snowy mountain in the west and faced the big ice lake in the east.
The city was very prosperous. The unique circular buildings were scattered in a ring shape. The whole city was crystal clear. All the buildings were made of ice and snow.
When the sun rose, the city was filled with red clouds. That was how Ruihong City got its name.
On the vast ice field in the south, a team of about ten people riding low snow horses slowly came.
The leader was a young man in his twenties. He was holding a three-foot wooden sword wrapped in black cloth. It was Munin who had been on the road for more than a month.
The people behind him, in addition to Momo, were the confidants that Momo contacted along the way.
This time, in addition to the three-foot wooden sword, Munin also brought the top-grade magic tool incense burner. The ice lake Sunset Snow Island was likely to have spiritual energy. Maybe he could use the broken incense burner to absorb some of it and bring it back.
Approaching the south gate of Ruihong City, countless tents were stationed nearby. There was a fifty to sixty feet wide passage in the middle that led directly to the city gate.
The gate made of ice was magnificent. More than a hundred soldiers of Snowfield Country were stationed here.
Munin and the others were not surprised. On the way, they got the news that Princess Yi Yu was going to choose a prince consort through a martial arts competition.
Unmarried men of Snowfield Country, regardless of their status, could participate.
However, if one wanted to enter the city in advance, one had to have the status of Samyang Tai or above.
The officials and people of the Snowfield Country were divided into five wolves and five sheep.
Wolf King General, Double Wolf Officer, Third Wolf Guard, Fourth Wolf Leader, Fifth Wolf Soldier …
Jin Yang Gui, Shuang Yang Fu, San Yang Tai, Si Yang Min, Wu Yang Nu …
One of the Five Wolves, an iron token.
People of the Five Sheep, Domino Proof.
There was also the saying of the Three Tigers. The King's unique Jade Tiger Talisman could mobilize 60% of the Snowfield Kingdom's army.
Two tigers fighting for supremacy, the symbol of the heir to the throne.
The Three Tigers Jade Token was the identity token of the other members of the royal family.
Great General Jin Lang possessed the unique Wolf King Iron Plate.
Momo was the commander of the Third Wolf Guard.
Speaking of which, Shen Yuzhen also gave Munin a piece of Two Tigers Fighting for Supremacy jade token, but now he was holding the Jade Tiger Talisman in his hand, which was brought out by Momo.
Needless to say, this contest for marriage was the doing of Great General Jin Huan. He wanted to seize the throne, and let the Snowfield Kingdom be "independent" was the first step. The second step was to let his son, Jin Lang, marry the heir to the throne, Princess Yi Yu, in the name of the Prince Consort.
If he did not directly seize the throne by force, the odds of winning were too low. The Family Shen Royal Family was deeply rooted in the Snowfield Country, and there were many tribal forces in various places. That would only tear the entire Snowfield Country apart.
Princess Yi Yu, Shen Youxue, as the youngest daughter, even if she had the opportunity to become the Queen, under normal circumstances, it would not be her turn.
However, the most powerful minister, Jin Huan, rebelled and used the rules to kill the other heirs to the throne one by one.
This was the rule. A few months ago, the King of the Snowfield Kingdom, Shen Yuzhen, went out hunting and met with an accident. He died without leaving a posthumous edict.
According to the rules of the Snowfield Kingdom, there was no posthumous edict. The heir to the throne must be tested before he could inherit the throne.
There were two choices for the test. One was to enter the Ice Lake Sunset Snow Island for a month, and the other was to defeat five peers by force.
Under normal circumstances, these two choices would be a simple process, and he would be able to pass them easily.
With Jin Lang's intervention, the two choices became the road of death. In a few months, all the princes who were eligible to inherit the throne were killed.
Now it was Shen Youxue's turn. During the assessment, she was given three choices.
Either enter the Ice Lake Sunset Snow Island, or defeat five peers. Finally, she could directly inherit the throne, but she must follow the rules to choose the Prince Consort.
Jin Huan believed that in the face of life and death, Shen Youxue would make a wise choice. Even if she would rather die than submit, there were still many collateral princesses behind her, and there would always be one who would choose to live.
His son, Jin Lang, had already been chosen as the Prince Consort. In order to be justified, the process still had to be done.
Only then did the golden list was issued. All the men of the Snowfield Kingdom who were 16 years old and under 30 could participate in this contest.
But no matter where, people would be divided into three, six, and nine classes, and the Snowfield Kingdom was no exception.
While waiting for the arrival of the contest, the rich and powerful could enter the city in advance and wait comfortably.
As for the civilians and ordinary families, they could only live in tents outside the city.
Munin did not think of breaking in, but Rui Hong City was the capital of the Snowfield Kingdom. It was also a critical time, so the defense was very tight. Even if he gathered his strength, with the strength of a peak First Class Warrior, he did not have much confidence in saving people.
Fortunately, there were only a few days before the contest, so Munin and the others decided to wait outside the city.
Munin was walking back the way he came, when suddenly an old man wearing a sheepskin hat jumped out with a smile.
"What's the matter?" Munin said lightly.
"It's like this. You see, there is no place to stay nearby. It just so happens that I have some open space here. As long as you pay a little money, you can have a place close to the city gate." The old man pressed his sheepskin hat that was blown by the wind and snow and said with his neck shrunk.
"No need." Munin rode on the snow region pony and continued to move forward.
The old man quickly caught up and said anxiously, "Little brother, as long as you pay five hundred coins, you can have a place close to the city gate. Let me tell you a secret. This time the contest will limit the number of people, so those who come later will not have a chance to enter. You can definitely enter the city with me. My family used to be San Yang Tai's family, so we have the priority to enter the city. "
"Good." Munin reined in the snow region pony.
He and Momo and the others could not expose their identities. Their appearance was shabby, and their status was relatively low among the four sheep people.
Perhaps Munin did not get the news that Hoop Sheep Felt said, but it should be true.
As night fell, the wind and snow gradually subsided. Bonfires were lit near all the tents.
The people who could not enter the city did not have high status. They were the lowest of the four sheep people, and their conditions were not good.
They sat by the bonfire to warm themselves, boil some hot water, and eat some hard dry food.
Hoop Sheep Felt's family was obviously different. They had a large number of people and were very strong among the four sheep people. They also came early.
They occupied a large piece of empty land and earned a large sum of money by collecting the camp fees.
The food for every meal was not bad. Especially the dinner that had to be passed through a snowy night, it was even more abundant. In the nearby camps, it was definitely second to none.
A family of more than 10 people, not only were there enough steamed buns, they also had to roast a whole lamb and warm a few jugs of wine.
This kind of life was not much different from San Yang Tai's family.
The enticing smell of roasted meat seemed to float even further in the snowy night. Every night at this time, it would attract swallowing sounds.
Especially the people who paid to live near them, it was even more torturous. Not only was the smell assailing their noses, they could also see the family eating meat and drinking wine happily.
If it was not outside Rui Hong City, the consequences would be severe. Maybe some people would have bad thoughts.
In the current situation, they could only endure. They fiercely gnawed on some hard dry food, drank some hot water, and then forced themselves to return to the not warm tent to sleep. They often tossed and turned, unable to sleep most of the night.
Hoop Sheep Felt's family knew about this situation, but pretended not to know. Every night when they sat around the bonfire eating meat and drinking wine, not only did they enjoy it very much, they enjoyed it even more when they thought about the envious and jealous expressions of the people nearby.
Every time at this time, the main characters of the family would talk loudly, talking about the glory of San Yang Tai's family, boasting about the most promising male in the family to become the emperor's son-in-law.
Tonight was no exception. The whole family sat around the bonfire in anticipation.
As the roasted lamb sizzled with oil, it was golden yellow under the light of the fire. When the aroma overflowed, everyone was in high spirits, and even sang and danced around the bonfire.
Not long after, the long-awaited gulping sounds and the extremely familiar clamor began to ring out in an endless stream.
