Chapter 213 The mysterious old man
Three days later, they arrived at Ice City, the city closest to the Arctic ice field.
The temperature difference between day and night is huge here, and sunlight only shines in the summer, so it is extremely cold. And now it is winter, it is simply a dead ice cave.
Without internal strength, you can't survive here.
Therefore, this is also a no-man's land. There are many fugitives who have committed heinous crimes, such as arson, murder and looting, as well as people from all walks of life. The city lord is the one who governs these people.
Ice City is a free city, but it is easy to get in but difficult to leave. If you don’t abide by the rules here, even if you are the current Holy Emperor, you may not be able to leave.
But for Si Yanzhuo and Yun Suyue, who had been rushing for three days and three nights, they urgently needed to find out some news about the Arctic ice field, as well as the news about Bo Xiu and Huo Yu, and to have a hot meal.
Anyone who wants to enter the Arctic ice field will come to this city to replenish supplies.
The two rare horses, the Dragon Blood Horse and the Red Scaled Horse, were too eye-catching and would expose their identities. So Si Yanzhuo and Yun Suyue dismounted five hundred meters away from the Ice City.
Seeing that there was no one around, Yun Suyue slipped into the space with her horse, and came out after disguising herself.
"How about it? Am I handsome?" Yun Suyue pointed at her cool black men's suit and asked Si Yanzhuo while posing.
Si Yanzhuo always sees beauty in the eyes of his lover. "Handsome? Do you mean good-looking? Ah Yue looks good in anything she wears. This black brocade robe of mine looks even better on you."
"That's right. If you're good-looking, you look good in anything. But this outfit looks even better on you. Even though I painted your face black, it still can't hide your stunning beauty."
Touching Si Yanzhuo's smooth skin, Yun Suyue felt inferior. She took out two thick masks and put them on her face. Si Yanzhuo covered Yun Suyue's little face tightly.
Like Yun Suyue, his face was completely covered, and he also had to wear a veil. The wind here was too strong, so the more protection he could get, the better.
As they were talking, the two had already arrived at the city gate, and there was no one guarding the gate to check their identities.
After entering, Si Yanzhuo and Yun Suyue saw two teams of people queuing for inspection, waiting to leave the city.
Only then did they understand that the rule of Ice City was that it was easy to get in but difficult to get out. All the guards were stationed at the city gates, verifying the identities of all those leaving the city. Anyone who had made a mistake and disguised themselves to try to get out of the city would be branded with the words "low-ranking servant" on their face with a branding iron if caught, and would never be allowed to leave Ice City again.
This is quite cruel, and similar to their methods.
The two men didn't care about these things. After all, with their skills, no one could stop them if they wanted to leave.
"Excuse me, young man, have you seen these two people?"
"No no."
"Uncle, have you seen these two people when you set up a stall here?"
"Little guy, I've never seen this before. My dishes today are pretty good. Do you want to buy some to take back?"
Yun Suyue took out the portraits of Bo Xiu and Huo Yu and started asking around. She asked passers-by and people in shops along the street. She even asked half the people in the city, but no one knew anything.
"Didn't the two of them go into the city?" Yun Suyue suspected.
"No, he must have gone into the city." Si Yanzhuo said for sure, his black eyes looking around for something.
Suddenly, on the top trunk of a large tree, he found a mark that only he could recognize. "Ayue, they were here ten days ago."
"That's good." Yun Suyue also saw it. Seeing Si Yanzhuo's face full of worry, she quietly held his hand.
Si Yanzhuo shook his head, "I am fine, what is meant to come will eventually come."
Yun Suyue returned to find the old vegetable seller and asked for all the vegetables on the condition that he tell her about the Arctic ice field and the ice dragon elephant.
The old man pointed at the customers eating and drinking lavishly in the restaurant across the street and said, "Did you see that? People from outside the city aren't here to play. Ninety percent of them are here to make a fortune. The Ice Dragon Elephant you're looking for is the most valuable, and everyone wants it.
But in three years, no one has found it.
But, girl, if you can pay twice as much for the vegetables, I will tell you where you can buy an Ice Dragon Elephant."
Yun Suyue was not surprised that the old man could tell her gender.
"Is that enough?" Si Yanzhuo handed the old man a silver ingot decisively.
The old man put it away directly, and the speed was so fast that Yun Suyue could hardly see it clearly. She glanced at Si Yanzhuo out of the corner of her eye, meaning: This old man has great skills, and the identity of such a person must be extraordinary.
The old man was quite honest. "There's a public auction every night at the City Lord's Mansion at 12:00 p.m., and among the items for tonight's auction is the Ice Dragon Elephant's dragon horn. Everything is real, so there's nothing to worry about.
However, the prices of things here are naturally ridiculously high, it all depends on who has more money.
Besides, since you guys are so willing to pay, let me be honest: even if you get something good, you might not be able to get it out of this city alive."
"Thank you, old man." Yun Suyue and Si Yanzhuo hurried to leave.
The old man stopped them and said, "The heart of the Arctic Icefield is covered with ice and snow all year round. It is very dangerous and difficult to find. You'd better spend money to hire an experienced guide, otherwise the snow will be blown away by the strong wind and you will lose your way.
If you accidentally fall into the eye of a glacier, you'll become the most beautiful ice sculpture in your life."
"..."
Yun Suyue and Si Yanzhuo twitched their lips, and Si Yanzhuo asked him, "Would you be willing to be our guide, old man?"
The old man who was originally holding Qiao suddenly looked happy and asked, "How much silver do you want?"
Yun Suyue's face fell, and she sighed and said, "To be honest, old man, we have been out looking for our family for too long. We just gave you the last ingot, and all we have left is some small change and a recovery pill that I bought with a lot of money.
Husband, if it really doesn't work, can we just pawn this healing pill?"
After saying that, Yun Suyue took Si Yanzhuo and left.
A shadow flashed before them, and the old man stopped them. "Wait a minute, girl, do you have any healing pills? Let me take a look. If they're good, I'll take a small loss and be your guide."
I'll also tell you where to find the Ice Dragon Elephant in the Arctic Ice Field, saving you the money from the auction."
Yun Suyue said reluctantly, "Forget it. The Recovery Pill is our only valuable thing, and it's also the guarantee of our lives. Let's keep it."
After hearing this, the old man finally told the truth, "Alright, girl, stop bragging. You've already seen that I have a serious old illness and need the healing pill to repair my foundation.
If you still want to rescue your family as soon as possible, you must hurry. There are many unknown large creatures in the heart of the Arctic ice field, and it is very dangerous. Many people dare not go there, let alone have the ability to walk there.
I suspect your men have been inside for over seven days. If they don't return within seven days, their chances of survival are slim. The extremely low temperatures in the hinterland alone make it difficult for warriors below the ninth level to survive."
Yun Suyue took out a healing pill she had found on an enemy corpse and gave it to the old man. "Please be sure to lead us to our families."
