Han Xuan first came to Seth City and found out where Lao Zhao burned his knife. These days, he came here early every day and sat in the corner and drank until dark. He would not leave. As usual, Han Xuan thought he would not get any more. When he was about to leave, a middle-aged man walked in from outside the door. The Beishui Empire seemed even colder at night. As soon as this person came in, he brought a cool air. Even these mercenaries who had been running around the world all year round felt a chill and started to scold.
Some of them knew this middle-aged man and shouted loudly: "Wang Qi, you are not at home and warming your quilt with your wife in your arms at night. You come here and want to freeze me to death?"
The man looked frosty and had a red skin in black. He didn't wear much clothes at this time. After coming in, he rubbed his hands and kept raising the heating. He heard someone calling his name and then grinned and showed his yellow teeth and said with a smile: "Didn't you get a few big fish today, and I'll send them here to ask if Boss Zhao is interested?"
When Lao Zhao, who was drinking with the mercenaries in the hall, heard this, he walked over and said, "What fish? Can't you catch it tomorrow?"
"Hehe, Boss Zhao, this is the most intimate product now. I got it after trying my best to do my best. The first thing I think of is you."
"Oh? Take it, let's take a look. Haven't you fishermen gone out to sea for a long time? Don't fool me with some inland fish and shrimp?"
"Look at what you said, how dare you little one? After you read it, the little one is dissatisfied with it and leave immediately. You will never talk nonsense! If you don't believe it, look."
As he said that, Wang Qi handed a large backpack behind him to Lao Zhao. Lao Zhao exclaimed at a glance: "Where did you get the red-tailed fish in the ice sea? Since the sea was closed, I haven't seen a real ice sea fish for a long time, and it's not small. Okay, you can tell me the price, I'll ask for it all, remember to give it to me first if you have any future."
"This, Boss Zhao, you are a person who knows the goods. Although these are not worth much in the past, they are now worth a hundred times the price. I want one hundred gold coins for these fish, do you think?"
But before Lao Zhao could speak, the other mercenaries with good relationships with Lao Zhao immediately burst into laughter and shouted: "I said Wang Qi, you are crazy poor and you only need a hundred gold coins for a few broken fish. Have you ever seen money?"
Although Wang Qi blushed, he looked as if he was right. He just looked at Lao Zhao. Lao Zhao smiled and waved his hand. The mercenaries immediately calmed down. He only heard Lao Zhao say, "No problem, I want these fish, but you remember that you must give them to me first when you get the fish in the ice sea in the future."
Wang Qiyi immediately laughed happily when he heard this, and nodded and agreed. After taking Lao Zhao's money, he immediately turned around and walked out of the tavern. The figure who had been sitting in the corner came out, but no one paid attention to him. Everyone was still eating delicious food and drinking the burning knife that made them lose.
Han Xuan was following Wang Qi. When he heard Lao Zhao say the red-tailed fish in the ice sea, he knew that maybe this was an opportunity to enter the ice sea of death. He followed Wang Qi all the way. For such an ordinary person, he would not lose even a few hundred feet away. At this time, it was already dark, but Wang Qi still walked out of the city before the city gate was closed.
Han Xuan never approached Wang Qi. He hurriedly chased after them after they left the city together. Han Xuan was very fast and light. When he walked behind Wang Qi, he didn't notice it. When Han Xuan patted his shoulder, he was so scared that he didn't dare to turn his head. He knelt down and said, "King, spare my life, I'm just a poor man, I have nothing to give you. Please spare my little life."
Han Xuan knew that Wang Qi had regarded him as a robbery, so he said, "You are Uncle Wang Qi, right? I am not a bad person, I just want to ask you for help if you have something to do."
After hearing Han Xuan's words, Wang Qi turned around tremblingly. Seeing that there was only one person behind him, a young man, he seemed no longer so panic. He kept looking at Han Xuan and said, "This little brother, you scared me very much. It's dark and windy. You suddenly patted my shoulder behind you. If you didn't do it properly, it would be scary."
"Oh hehe, it's all my fault for being too reckless. But I really want Uncle Wang to help, so I'm a little anxious. If I scare Uncle, I can compensate you."
"Compensation? How to compensate? Although I am a waste of my life, the whole family still needs me to support me. Now you are scared. Maybe you will be seriously ill and your family will not be able to eat for a while." Wang Qi's eyes turned, and he immediately changed into a painful look. He held his chest and said, and from time to time he looked at Han Xuan's face with his light.
Of course, he could not hide his appearance from Han Xuan, but Han Xuan also hoped that he could take him into the Death Ice Sea, so he didn't mind. He took out a small bag of gold coins from the Qiankun ring and said to Wang Qi: "I scared uncle, it's mine, it's not. This is a little bit of a little bit. I hope uncle shouldn't be offended. If the uncle is willing to help me, there will be a reward. What do you think?"
Wang Qi looked at the cloth bag in Han Xuan's hand and his eyes shined. He snatched it and then put it in his arms with satisfaction. Then he chuckled and said, "I wonder what kind of help my little brother wants Wang Qi to do?"
Han Xuan bowed and said, "That's right. I'm looking for something. I've found out that only the ice sea is produced. So I came to the Beishui Empire to try my luck in the ice sea. But who would have thought that when I came here, I heard that the entrance to the ice sea had been blocked by the imperial court. I was unwilling to go there for a long trip, so I stayed in Seth City. Today I happened to see the uncle, so I thought of asking the uncle to help me and take me into the ice sea. If Uncle Wang can do it, then I will definitely give you a satisfactory reward."
"That's it." Wang Qi walked around with his chin.
However, Han Xuan could see at a glance that he was pretending it, and of course he knew what he meant. He took out a larger purse and shook it in front of Wang Qi. Wang Qi immediately opened his eyes wide, showed a smile, and reached out to take the purse over. But at this time, Han Xuan pulled the purse back and said meaningfully: "Uncle Wang, you can't give you this money now. If the uncle can let me enter the ice sea smoothly, I will definitely give you more than these. How about it? Think about it."
This time, Wang Qi nodded repeatedly, patted his chest and said, "Little brother, this is indeed a bit difficult. Although I have some tricks, it requires some expenses. Hehe, this money is right!"
"Oh, Uncle Wang, don't worry, I will pay for this money, so I don't know how much it needs?"
"Not too much, not too much, just thirty gold coins." Wang Qi showed his cunning look.
Han Xuan knew that he was cheating on him again. He took the risk of fishing and selling it for only a hundred gold coins at a high price. How could he spend thirty gold coins to clear any way? However, Han Xuan didn't care about these small money. He finally found the opportunity. Han Xuan didn't want to miss it in vain, so Han Xuan agreed without bargaining.
Then Han Xuan followed Wang Qi to the place where he lived, and had to pay some accommodation fees and other fees. Han Xuan didn't care. He changed into fishermen's clothes early the next morning at Wang Qi's request, and then followed Wang Qi to the Ice Coast. Han Xuan from afar could already smell a faint fishy smell, and he could still hear the sound of sea water slapping on the shore.
Han Xuan had never seen the sea. When he heard the name of the ice sea, combined with the cold climate of the Beishui, Han Xuan thought that the ice sea should be full of glaciers, but unexpectedly, not only did he not see glaciers here, it felt warmer than other parts of the Beishui Empire, so he asked Wang Qi beside him: "Uncle Wang, I'm the first time I'm here in the Beishui Empire. Why is the ice sea without ice, which is even warmer than inland?"
"Little brother, you don't know it now. Legend has it that the ice sea was indeed very cold before, with icebergs everywhere. Later, a small island suddenly appeared in the depths of the ice sea. The temperature was extremely low and no human could survive on it. Since its appearance, the glaciers in the entire ice sea began to melt and turned into a warm sea. And with its appearance, the fish in the sea have since had extremely special functions."
“What function?”
"Eating fish in the ice sea will make you warm all over, which is just right for the cold climate of the Northern Water Empire, and it can drive away the cold and keep warm."
"So that's the case? It's really amazing. Has no one been there?"
"It's said that no one can survive there, so how could anyone have been there? Besides, this is just a legend. It's not certain whether there is this island or not. But the old man living by the sea once said that you will see that island as long as you keep going north, but you must not think about going there, because there are too many monsters in the sea. We will never be far away from the shore for fishing for more than fifty miles. In this way, fishermen will be attacked by monsters from time to time."
"Haha, I just asked curiously, of course I won't take risks. Uncle Wang, you see that we have been out for a long time. I don't know when we will arrive by the beach?"
"Don't worry, ahead is the military camp that blocks the coast. Let's go first. I want to find an acquaintance. Only he can help you to enter the ice sea. He is a fellow villager and friend of mine. He has been in the army for a few years. Now he is getting better. He has become a battalion manager. This time, their battalion is stationed here, so I can go in and out freely. However, after becoming an official, he only recognizes money but not people. I also need to give him money to enter. Give me the money first and I will take you to see him."
Han Xuan didn't say much, so he walked towards the military camp by the sea with him.
