Chapter 315 Endless Energy
The slave trader took the silver coins away and said, "Those places are not places I can go to. If it were you... the Skovo family should be able to let you in. As we all know, the icebergs and snow peaks not only lead to the polar plateau, but also some caves lead down to the underground magma, which is the territory of the armored bears.

The fire element is very active there, but the entrances to the caves are guarded by watchmen. "

When Helot had talked with Melissa before, he knew that capturing and subduing an armored bear alone was one of the criteria for becoming a watcher. During the freezing season, armored bears would enter caves with magma to spend the winter. The magma was a very long underground rift valley, and the entrance was not only on the snowy peaks of icebergs, but there were other entrances in the northern border close to the polar plateau, but the cave entrances were covered with ice and snow, making them difficult to find.

Helot didn't wait for the slave trader to put the silver coins into his pocket and snatched them back: "The well-known news is definitely not worth a silver coin. Tell me the specific locations of those cave entrances."

"How could I possibly know!"

Helot tossed the silver coin.

The slave trader said helplessly: "Okay, I know the location of the two cave entrances, wait for me here."

The slave trader turned back and walked into the room. After a while, he came out with a hand-drawn map in his hand. "The middle one is the main road leading to the Ice Castle. This branch road is about a thousand meters away from the Snow City. There is a cliff there. If you keep going, you will see a watchman's camp. Both cave entrances are there."

After listening to the route the slave trader described, Helot took the map and threw the silver coin to him: "This is yours, goodbye!"

The slave trader took the silver coin and said, "Thank you, respected wizard."

Just as Helot left, a man in a white cloak appeared beside the slave trader.

"What did that man say to you?"

When the slave trader saw the man's clothes, he immediately panicked. He immediately replied, "Sir, that is a wizard from the south. He bought a slave from me yesterday. For some reason, he asked me about the slave's origin today. I told him that the slave was sold to me by the Wild Boar Village."

The visitor took out a notebook and a charcoal pencil and started recording. Then he asked, "Is that all?"

The slave trader stammered in his reply: "And, and... He said he was a fire magician and wanted to replenish elemental energy before reaching the polar plateau. I told him... he could go to the underground fire magma..."

The man recorded it truthfully: "Keep talking."

Sweat broke out on the slave trader's forehead. "I drew him a map and marked the locations of the two cave entrances."

"..."

The slave trader felt the sharp gaze and said, "I will go and draw the map for you, sir. Please wait."

Soon the slave trader ran out holding the map, bowed his head and presented it in fear: "Sir, please forgive me."

The slave trader felt that the other party had taken the map from his hand, and when he looked up again, the other party was no longer there.

"Master, Master..." York Red whispered to Helot, "It seems someone is following you."

"I know!" Helot continued to move forward.

Moreover, Helot knew the other party's identity, which was the "Snow Monsters", a team of the Watchers that specialized in carrying out espionage missions. The "Snow Monsters" mainly targeted the cold monsters, and because they needed to go deep into the polar regions alone, they all had very strong individual strength.

The "snow monster" behind him followed him since he left the snow castle.

York Hong also unexpectedly discovered the "snow monster". It seems that it was not just luck that enabled him to come back alive from the polar plateau.

Helot did not try to get rid of the pursuit and walked into Usman's yard with a swagger.

Then he was warmly received by Usman: "Respected Bonebreaker, it's an honor to see you again. Go to the room, there is a hot stove and sweet wine." Helot followed Usman into the room and quietly let the bat out of his sleeve.

The two of them sat down around the roaring fire, and the servant brought them large glasses of ale.

Helot asked about the current location of the thorn boar village.

"They are a group of bandits!" Usman answered while drinking. "They occupied an ice lake ten kilometers southwest of Snow City. Anyone who wants to fish in the ice lake must first pay them a sum of money. However, near Snow City, they are still somewhat restrained. At least they will not kill people directly or capture and sell them to slave traders.

What do you want with them?"

"Help my slave find his wife. His village might have been attacked by the Tribulus Boar Village."

Hearing that Helot had come all this way just for a slave, Usman was a little confused: "The Tribulus Wild Boar Village is a bandit group. They are very powerful. I advise you not to provoke them for a slave."

"I'm just asking for information. I don't intend to cause trouble for myself before heading to the polar plateau. I want to purchase some supplies. I hope you can help me buy everything at once."

Hailot gave Usman a list.

"No problem!" Usman agreed readily. Although he was just a spice merchant, he was very familiar with other merchants: "I'll send someone to prepare it now..."

Usman left the matter to the servant and continued chatting with Helot.

In order to buy time for Brishney, Helot asked many questions about the polar plateau and the ice and snow family.

It can be heard that Usman has a lot of complaints about Duke Erwin's order not to allow modern civilization to enter the northern border. And he is not the only one who is dissatisfied...

Compared with the southern cities he had visited, Snow City was now no different from a pigsty.

"Many merchants only come to Snow City during the freezing season. In the warm season, they all go to the south to escape the stench here! When I make more money, I will move directly and never come back here..."

As Usman drank more, he talked more and more.

While Helot was drinking and chatting, he was thinking about a Northern Xinjiang Energy Investigation Report that Tomorrow Group had issued.

The heat source of the underground magma under the northern Xinjiang polar plateau is not geothermal, but the special polar environment forms a high concentration of fire elements. This is simply the cheap energy that all energy businessmen dream of, and it is inexhaustible.

In order to efficiently develop the magma of the earth, Tomorrow Group has set up a special department and has climbed the snow-capped peaks of icebergs many times to negotiate with Duke Elvin.

As long as the underground magma resources can be used to build a starting power station and a magic fire rod production plant, Snow City can be transformed into a modern frontier city in a very short time. In order to get this project, Tomorrow Group is even willing to give away an electric rail car system from Snow City to the Ice Castle.

However, Duke Erwin remained unmoved and rejected all conditions offered by Tomorrow Group.

If I remember correctly, this department of Tomorrow Group has experienced many layoffs, but it is still retained.

It can be seen that my mother has always been concerned about the energy here.

Helot once again used the excuse of wanting to absorb elemental energy to ask Usman some questions about the earth's fire and magma.
