One hundred and forty-seven. When Lu Li finished busy, he was taken out of the room
Frost covering the glass obscured the outside world.
Opening the wooden door, the cold sea breeze blowing into the captain's cabin woke everyone up.
"It's so cold in here."
The cold wind blew across her cheeks, making it difficult to breathe. Catalina had to retreat to the captain's cabin and close the wooden door.
After she put on her coat and a blanket, she opened the wooden door, and Ophelia walked out of the captain's cabin with her.
A shadow outline appeared outside the window, gradually becoming clearer.
Ophelia emits heat to melt the snow and frost on the glass and wipe it dry.
Brown land and rivers appear in the distance.
"Yawn... The big boat said the river can't be entered." The eldest sister climbed out of her hood and said.
Catalina returned to the captain's cabin in the cold wind and said the same thing: "The river is very narrow, we may have to walk across it."
The temperature outside was only a few degrees or even lower. In preparation for the next journey, they prepared a pot of hot soup to warm their bodies and minds, and asked the businessman Anthony to bring back some clothes, although Ophelia said that she would not feel cold when she was around.
When the hot soup was about to boil, the businessman Anthony took out the clothes from his backpack and the news from two Wiener-free ports.
The first news is that a blizzard hit the ice-free port of Vina two days ago, crushing many houses and causing a total of 106 civilian casualties. The cold wave is moving south and is expected to arrive at the Allen Peninsula in the next two days.
Everyone who returned to the Main Continent has already encountered a cold wave.
The second message was a reply from Nasram Araya's daughter Moni Araya. She was very grateful to Lu Li for bringing back the letter from her missing father. She, her husband and her family members welcomed Lu Li as a guest.
"From now on, a newspaper from the ice-free port of Wiener will be delivered every day."
Lu Li said after reading the letter.
The merchant Antony took note and said no more about the reward.
Maybe when Lu Li is the only exorcist, or it realizes that Lu Li's contribution points are approaching the concept of "infinite", it will no longer mention the cost of each transaction.
Food, kerosene, clothing, and other supplies were piled in the merchant's "backpack" just in case. Lu Li and the others also carried some fluorite and cans.
Lu Li left the black crow on Andrea. It will monitor the birth of the fog tide. If the fog tide emerges, it will chase after it and notify everyone.
After drinking the warming broth, they put on their wind-proof cloaks, took a wooden boat to the shore, and stepped into the wilderness where the cold wind vented.
Andrea radiates breath and heat without reservation, which inevitably makes the sanity counter rattle more frequently, but it also dispels the malicious sight in the hidden wilderness.
Even Pusius revealed his new deformed tail and followed Lu Li and Catalina, who were wearing cloaks and looked like pagans. He tried his best to make this team look "untouchable" from the inside out.
Andrea's joining made traveling in the wilderness no longer dangerous. At least for them now, the only thing blocking their way forward was the blizzard coming with the howling wind.
The whining wind blew across the ground, the snowflakes blowing obliquely connected into white lines, and the visibility dropped sharply to more than ten meters.
The Heide River next to them prevented them from getting lost in the snowstorm and headed upstream.
Snowflakes fell on her body, melted and soaked her clothes, taking away her body heat. Catalina had already begun to shiver in the snowstorm.
Lu Li approached Ophelia and said, "Ophelia, make it warmer."
The cracks in the lines on Ophelia's charred body lit up with a dark red halo, like a bonfire radiating heat.
But in a raging snowstorm, even a campfire can hardly avoid being frozen.
Only the side facing Ophelia was warm, the rest was still freezing cold.
After marching for two hours in the blizzard, they had to warm their frozen bodies in a shelter formed by rocks. Ice beads like wild fruits even condensed on Pusius's hair.
After drying their clothes and drinking hot soup to warm their frozen internal organs, they stepped into the blizzard again.
They walked less than 60 miles throughout the day. The gradually decreasing temperature indicated that they were approaching the center of the snowstorm and that it was almost night.
There are still nearly three hours until evening, but darkness will come earlier in the snowstorm, and they have at most two hours left.
A decision emerged from this. Either continue on the road and try your luck to find a shelter where you can spend the night before dark, or stop here and approach the village of Poido, a few miles to the east.
"Of course I'm going to the village. I'm so cold that I'm even warm..." Catalina could no longer bear the severe cold.
Wow
Lu Li unfolded the map, and Storm fought with him for the map in his hand.
Ophelia moved closer to block the wind and snow.
"Go to Poido Village." Lu Li put away the map and left the compass behind.
But even with the help of a compass, they still lost their way several times in the snowstorm. Finally, the businessman Anthony brought a more detailed map, and they reluctantly entered the village of Poido relying on landmarks.
In the darkness shrouded by the snowstorm, there was only a shadow outline in Poido Village. They entered the houses on the edge of the village and escaped from the violent snowstorm.
Because of Ophelia, they stopped lighting bonfires and kept only two oil lamps and fluorite for lighting.
"I hope the weather will be good tomorrow." After changing out of her soaked clothes, Caterina wiped her hair and drank the hot water next to Ophelia, who was as hot as a fire.
"Maybe worse."
With wet black hair hanging on his forehead, Lu Li read the message sent by Weiner Freeze Port.
The snowfall in the ice-free port of Wiener is still continuing. Scholars have claimed that this is the first snow in the cold winter. In the following long cold winter, the land will be frozen. The weirdos will fall into dormancy, or look for food more frequently.
"It's better than holding on for a long time." Catalina took off her boots, revealing her pale soles that were swollen and wrinkled. "We have to light a bonfire."
Although Ophelia is more useful than a campfire, you can't roast your feet on her.
The abandoned house had a fireplace. They removed the tables and chairs, unclogged the chimney and lit the fireplace.
The fireplace, which was warmer and brighter than fluorite and firelight, lit up, and everyone became relaxed due to the bonfire.
After a short break to eat, the tired people fell into a deep sleep, and were woken up from time to time by the more severe and severe snowstorm outside the house at midnight.
Early the next morning, people woke up one after another.
Lu Li opened the door, and the thick snow piled outside the door fell into the room.
White snow covers the ground, scattered snowflakes fall, and there is mist in the distance.
Before the new snowstorm arrived, they left the hut and stepped into the pale wilderness.
The calm lasted until noon, when the blizzard came again.
Although they encountered the first snowstorm of winter, they were still lucky that the light thief did not appear and the fog wave did not appear.
What's more important is that in the afternoon, everyone rushing on their way was blocked by a huge shadow emerging from the wind and snow.
They arrived at the city of Ryalstan.
Ophelia brought news of the strange occupation of the city, and they carefully hid in a hut on the edge, waiting for night and dawn.
Then, tomorrow they will arrive at the excavation site in the Tashofik area known as Socrates' Bottom.
