Chapter 307 On the road
After waiting for Brishney to fly back and confirming that the mercenaries had indeed left, Helot slowly returned to the campfire in the camp.

The merchant attentively brought a plate of hot ham and bread slices: "Master Mage, have all the Ice Road Mercenaries left?"

Helot sat down by the campfire, took the plate, and started eating with his hands. He then took the kettle from the merchant and took a big sip.

"Those mercenaries are gone! How many more days will it take to reach the Iceberg and Snow Peak?"

The merchant sat down next to Helot and warmed his hands by the fire. "If there are no accidents on the road, we will arrive in about fifteen to twenty days."

"Can you shorten the time?"

The merchant said in embarrassment: "Master Mage, we also want to reach the snowy peak quickly. If the heavy snow blocks all roads, we will be trapped to death in the wilderness. But horses cannot travel for a long time, and pulling a cart in the snow consumes a lot of their energy."

While eating, Helot also observed the caravan.

Including the merchant, there were nine people, fifteen sledges, and ten horses.

The horses are long-maned horses, a specialty of northern Xinjiang. They are cold-resistant and adaptable to northern Xinjiang's extreme climate. They are strong and have good endurance, and are the main animal power for northern Xinjiang people's farming and transportation.

One long-maned horse can pull two sleds. Considering the weight of the goods, these ten long-maned horses should be the most ideal ratio. After all, for merchants, redundant transportation capacity means increased costs and reduced profits.

Helot pointed at the flint giant outside the camp and said, "Can we use it to pull a few sleds to increase our speed?"

The merchant looked at the flint giant, fear in his eyes.

Even when this big guy was sitting on the ground, his stature was much taller than an adult. The flames receded, and the stones that made up his body glowed red, emitting a strong sense of oppression.

I wonder how powerful the wizard is who can summon such a powerful fire giant.

"Of course, we can increase the speed."

The merchant answered hastily, fearing to anger the mysterious wizard who had suddenly appeared.

"Very good! I hope to reach the Iceberg Peak within seven days." Helot finished the last of the food on the plate, took a sip of water, and said, "I have set up magic traps around the camp. The fire giants will kill everything that gets close. Don't let your people run around. Go to bed quickly and set off early tomorrow morning."

After saying this, Helot fell to the ground and fell asleep, and the blanket on his body automatically spread out and covered him.

Leaving behind a businessman with a bitter face.

It takes seven days to reach the snowy peaks of the icebergs, and every day we have to walk more than twice as much as normal. This is the northern border, and rushing so hard will kill people.

But what?

Leaving the wizard's protection would mean death. The only hope of survival is to go to the snow-capped peaks of the icebergs.

Consider abandoning some cargo.

The merchant looked at the loaded sled, considering what to throw here, but his heart ached no matter what he gave up.

Scattered snow began to fall again, and the north wind was still biting.

The next day, as soon as there was a hint of light in the eastern sky, Helot and the caravan were ready to set off.

There was an iron chain tied around the flint giant's waist, and a string of sleds were connected behind him, a total of seven in total. The other sleds were pulled by at least one horse, and all the caravan members were sitting on the sleds, each wrapped up tightly.

After determining the direction from the merchant, Helot rode at the front of the caravan.

There were a few boxes left in the camp last night, which were soon covered by the heavy snow, and the campfire was slowly extinguished in the snow.

About two hours later, a group of riders approached in the wind and snow.

They were the Ice Road mercenaries that had left last night, and they had calculated the time the caravan had set out and tracked them down. Half of the mercenaries dispersed to search for traces left by the caravan, while the other half entered the camp to search.

The box, covered in snow, was soon discovered.

The old mercenary used his sleeve to sweep away the snow on the box, then wielded his heavy sword to chop the box, and white particles spilled out. The old mercenary grabbed some particles with his hands and put them in his mouth, saying happily, "It's candy!"

After saying that, the old mercenary grabbed a handful of candy and poured it into his mouth.

When the other mercenaries heard that there was candy, they all ran over to grab the candy and enjoy the sweetness in their mouths.

A mercenary asked, "Captain, should we give chase?"

The old mercenary looked towards the north, but could not see anything in the vast expanse of white. Then he said, "That wizard is indeed alone! Lone wolves can't help but sleep sometimes, so we'll follow them as long as we have a chance... Those spices and salt that are more valuable than sugar are ours!"

The mercenaries shouted loudly and stuffed two more handfuls of candy into their mouths.

When the tracking mercenaries came back, the old mercenary ordered all the boxes to be buried, and then led the mercenary group to chase after the caravan following the traces left by them.

The galloping horses' hooves splashed snowflakes.

Just as the mercenaries disappeared in the snow on horseback, several bulges appeared in the snow outside the camp. The bulges cracked open, and a group of crawling ice figurines crawled out from underneath.

"Master's order: Kill all trackers!" "Master's order: Kill all trackers!"

"Master's order: Kill all pursuers!"

……

The crawling ice figurines followed the traces left by the mercenaries on the snow and chased them all the way.

On the snow in northern Xinjiang, the caravan's sleds formed a long line.

The flint giant was at the front of the team, dragging seven sleds. Snow kept falling on its body, melting and turning into white steam that rose up.

After several soul exchanges with the starry sky, Helot was severely exhausted and could not continue to walk at the front of the team. He had to return to a sled to rest.

The bloodline discussion group hosted by Star Sky had a major breakthrough.

Aisheliya used the existing tungsten needle runes to deduce the general framework of the sealing array. Now all the immortal mages who have studied the sealing array in the entire Immortal Association have been brought into the discussion group by her to fill in the general framework of this array.

Based on Melissa's case and the medications she was using, Harry Karan prepared a warming potion that could greatly increase her resistance to the cold. If used in combination with vampire tears, it could stabilize Melissa's condition.

But to truly cure, there must be blood sampling, and a lot of it.

In short, we must find Melissa as soon as possible.

"Mage! Master Mage!"

Helot was awakened from his meditation and said to the merchant who was riding in the same sleigh with him: "What is it?"

After traveling with Helot for a day, the merchant lost his initial reserve: "My name is Shakas Usman, you can call me Usman. I run a spice shop on the Iceberg Snow Peak. If you don't have any friends to stay with on the Iceberg Snow Peak, you can stay with me."

Usman has been impressed by the strength displayed by Helot. Being able to maintain the existence of a fire giant all day long is enough to prove the terrifying magical energy reserves possessed by its summoner.

Level 2 Extraordinary!

Usman made a bold guess about the strength of the young mage beside him.

If you can make friends with this powerful wizard, the few boxes of candy you throw away will be a negligible loss.

Helot also introduced himself: "My name is... I can't tell you my name, but you can call me the Bone Crusher."

Bone Crusher?

A very strange mage calling himself that.

However, seeing the fire giant in front, the name Bone Crusher is indeed very vivid.

"Bonebreaker...you said you want to go on an adventure to the polar regions?"

"Yes. Cold is a training for fire. I want to complete the sublimation of my flame core by hunting down the cold monster."

"What a touching and inspiring story. I think you will become a new legend in the polar regions." Merchant Usman praised Helotte generously: "But if you want to go deep into the polar regions, you still need a set of adventure equipment and a polar guide.

I can sponsor you on this adventure.”

Usman decided to invest in this promising fire magician. He believed that as long as the Bone Crusher could come back alive from the polar regions, he would be able to bring him a return several times greater than his investment.

Helot did not respond directly to Usman. After all, he didn't lack the money.

So Helot changed the subject: "I saw that you would rather throw away the candy than the mechanical parts. It seems that those things are very important to you."

Usman didn't expect Helot to bring up such a sensitive topic.

He smiled awkwardly and covered up by saying, "There are many people on the Iceberg Snow Peak who are very interested in things outside, so they asked me to buy some small metal toys."

Helot had no intention of letting Usman go. "The linear flow rate stroke tube is not a small metal toy. It uses a lot of magic metal and is a necessary accessory for high-end machine tools."

Usman laughed even more awkwardly: "I, I don't know what the stroke tube you are talking about is. I buy whatever the customer tells me to buy. Bone Crusher, you seem to be very knowledgeable about mechanics?"

"I've learned a little bit." Helot did not continue to show off his knowledge of mechanics, but asked, "Isn't your client afraid that Duke Erwin will find out about his purchase of mechanical products?
I think people who buy high-end machine tools should have certain financial resources and power on the iceberg and snow peaks.”

Usman's smile froze and his expression turned very ugly.

"Master Bonebreaker, please do not delve into who bought these things. It will do you no good and will hurt me. I will not disturb your rest. I will change the sled."

Usman didn't dare to continue chatting with Helot, so he jumped off the sled, rolled on the snow, climbed up and jumped onto the sled behind.

Undisturbed, Helot smiled and lay on the cargo behind him. He wrapped himself tightly in the blanket and closed his eyes to receive the information from the starry sky.
