Chapter 124: The Horn in the Snowstorm
"Buzz—!" The long horn sound can be heard even in the sky. Cheese still remembers the first time he heard this sound nearly seven years ago. At that time, he had just set out to carry out his adult mission.
The wasteland north of Longcrest Mountain was not friendly even to Gray Robe. He accidentally deviated from the track and lacked food preparation. At that time, he had no choice but to turn the snow dog that was originally pulling the sled into food.
It was hard to get here.
Before, the cheese took a special look at the horn that blew such a sound. It was an instrument made from the left horn of an ancient argali sheep. It is said that the old sheep had only one horn left when it came to the city, and it was also dying.
, the Frost Guard at that time gave it food and sent this strange beast on its last journey.
When the old sheep died, its left horn fell off automatically, as if it was intentional. It would have been very easy to blow the horn on the iceberg to cause an avalanche, but the sound of the horn seemed to have some kind of agreement with the ice and snow, and it had never caused snow.
changes.
However, it was the first time I heard the rhythmic sound blown by the ancient horn at this time. The Frost Guard's messenger horn has various meanings and is used to correspond to various situations they will encounter here. Many of those signals have been used for hundreds of years.
It has not changed, because in such a bitter and cold place, there are not many new things.
Based on this inference, Cheese guessed that the signal in his ear should have been added in recent years, and its significance is self-evident. The dragon. Even the gray robe is worried about whether the guards have set up plural expressions, and whether it will be because of
The three-headed dragon came and panicked.
Fortunately, the wind and snow near Longchi Mountain is not very heavy. According to the people in the north, it is probably the level of light snow. The thickness of the snow is enough to cover the feet. When the red dragon's hind limbs fell to the ground, he
The strong winds brought up by the descent have blown out a circular vacuum area around it, exposing the frozen hard ground.
Cheese opened the exit of the hanging basket and stepped onto the familiar land with some trembling. The cold air flowed along the nose and into the lungs, and the whole person showed an unusually relaxed state.
Not far away, the gate of the small town at the foot of the mountain has been opened, and a large number of figures walked out of it and moved this way. Of course, normal people would not greet the dragon with this attitude, but Migo's figure has been flying in the sky more than once.
, both the legion and the rat people know that the red dragon is a friend of the gray robe mage, and also a friend of the legion and the rat people.
The power of the giant dragon is so powerful that ordinary beasts of burden would refuse to approach even if they were blindfolded. People could only walk into these three mythical creatures on foot. Soon, they discovered that in addition to the giant dragon, there were several
The figure stood there.
"Commander, long time no see." Cheese looked at the man in front of him who looked much older than when he first met. People in the North generally don't live too long, and the bad weather is shortening their lifespan every moment.
However, the arrival of gray robes has somewhat changed this place. More convenient machinery will reduce the heavy physical labor that people need to do, thereby preserving their vitality.

It is foreseeable that when the Frost Guardians can independently develop mechanical devices for use in cold zones, sooner or later they will be able to establish a livable environment that is very different from temperate zone civilizations.
The gray-bearded Commander Jon was stunned for a few seconds, then walked up a few steps and hugged the gray robe. Mages generally do not like physical contact, which means that they cannot cast spells in time, but Cheese may be an exception. He knows very well that in
In this place, only this way of feeling each other's warmth can express each other's feelings.
The hug lasted for a few seconds. The old commander let go of his arm and looked at the gray robe carefully. "Okay, the news of your return is far more pleasant than anything else."
Cheese pursed his lips, feeling the inexplicable stirrings in his heart. He was very grateful to these people. These people accepted him so that the ice and snow could no longer frostbite him.
"I would like to introduce to you that you must already know Migo. The two glittering ladies here are Miss Olga and Miss Jana. They are hired by me to come together. I plan to ask them to do something depending on the situation. As for this
The two beside you, Mr. Pinwei, are my servants who are proficient in cooking and fighting. And this one is my apprentice, his name is Uni, and he will receive training here until he reaches adulthood."
The cold environment made it impossible to exchange greetings. Commander Jon briefly greeted Cheese's colleagues and returned to the walled city with the gray robe and the welcoming team. Of course, Migo and the others did not go with them, and the red dragon took them with him.
The golden dragon sisters went to familiarize themselves with the surrounding environment and hunt some appetizing food.
For the dragon, it makes no difference whether you eat raw or cooked food. When your teeth can easily crush rocks and your stomach can digest bones and fur, then raw food can also have a unique flavor.
The temperature in the walled city is much warmer than outside. The sound of the trumpet made most people come out of the house and get ready for battle. Yes, fight. The guards guarding the foot of Longcrest Mountain are not afraid of any enemy.
Even the giant dragon couldn't make them hide in the house and wait to die, but the familiar gray figure made people put down their weapons and smile.
An interesting fact is that although there is a good friendship between the Frost Guards and the Skaven, there is one issue that will definitely make them fight, and that is whether the gray robe cheese comes from Dragon Crest Mountain or from Valley City.
cheese.
For the rat people, the mage who serves as the guardian of all rat people and has lived in the valley city for six years should certainly belong to the valley. But the guards have different evidence to prove their ownership of the mage.
"We will arrange these two properly, you go first. She is waiting for you." The old commander patted Cheese on the shoulder and walked away with a complicated expression. Cheese nodded towards Uni and Pinwei.
, signaling them to accept the arrangement.
The gray robe's footsteps slowly left the large army, and then walked faster and faster. He saw the tavern named Dragon Crest Peak. It had been taken care of by others because the original owner could not focus on it now.
In business.
Not far behind the tavern is a small cabin that belongs to a woman.
The owner of the hut also went out because of the horn, and his red hair was flying slightly in the air. Compared with the first time they met, Elsa was much older, and her appearance became more dazzling in Cheese's eyes. At this moment, her figure
A secret that surpasses all magic.
He walked up to her, and the whistling wind became so quiet. After being apart for a long time, they didn't know how to speak, so they could only stare at each other silently. After a long time, Elsa said, "Come in."
After she opened her mouth, she realized that her throat was not so smooth and the sound she made was very deformed.
