Chapter 190 Chapter 190 Transportation

The two-person journey starts at the Elite Academy, and takes a car to The dog-tooth fortress, and then replaced by the woolly rhinoceros or big-horned deer that are more suitable for the cold environment, go deep into the north.

Dagon has never been in such a luxurious and comfortable carriage, with soft cushions and just the right damping springs, making him barely feel the car moving. The tightly sealed cabin isolates outside noise, the crunch of the wheels rolling against the ground is completely blocked, and passengers can enjoy the silence all the way.

There are sweet and creamy snacks in the car, and an exquisite peat stove to keep the tea warm. As soon as you reach out, you can get the latest newspaper from the basket on the side wall, which is full of recent performances, auctions and arrangements for various dances and exhibitions.

"Nassim Bond will be awarded the title of Roaming Master in two more performances. I think this is almost a foregone conclusion." Shiroai folded the newspaper he read and threw it away. Returning to the basket, he said: "He is very popular recently, the performances are full, and tickets can't be bought at all."

"didn't expect him to be so good. If it's the Roaming Master, then he will Can you go and perform for the Spirit King?"

"Well, this kind of occasion will never be too much for Roaming Masters." Shiroai stared at Dagon and smiled lightly.

There was no other reason for this laugh than the fact that Dagon was writhing in the soft seat. He wasn't used to such a comfortable seat, especially since the seats were obviously designed for elves, and his ass couldn't fit all on it. And his armor and cloak also look very out of place, always dragging around. Shi Luoai also proposed to make Dagon more comfortable to wear, after all, the possibility of them encountering attacks in the Spirit King country is very low, and there is no need to always have heavy armor and heavy armor.

"Learn to use the spell to protect yourself, Dagon." Shiroai said, "Spell is much better than armor."

"Maybe that is possible in the future, but now I only Can rely on the armor." Dagon asked tentatively: "Hiroai, can I ask you questions about spell now?"

"I'm in a good mood now. If you can keep this mood, then you You can ask." Shirouai looked sideways at the window, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and said, "But I won't necessarily answer."

"It's a loss if you don't ask." Dagon tugged at his beard and tidied it up. thinking, and put forward the most urgent problems he needs to solve at this stage.

Siloai has a good temper, but only when she answers the question for the first time. Whether as an Academy mentor or a recognized spell genius, Shiloh is qualified. She was able to analyze Dagon's questions very accurately, giving answers right down to the essence, and at the same time being able to further inspire ideas. It's just that she has no patience and will never answer the same question repeatedly, even if it is similar. If this happens, she'll get mad, baring fangs and brandishing claws, and then put her head against the wall of the carriage and pretend to sleep.

With just a little attention, you can see that her long eyelashes are shaking slightly, and sometimes she will open her eyes a little bit to watch Dagon's expression secretly. If Dagon shows grievances or pays attention to her at this time, Shirouai's mood will suddenly improve, allowing Dagon to continue to ask her questions.

It was calm and tranquil on the way from Academy to Canine Fortress, without any accident. With the Spirit King's birthday approaching, Myniris has stepped up its defenses, and the living forest is watching over all the demons and monsters to make sure no one can mess up at this time.

They're having a little trouble at Canine Keep. In previous years, the camel beasts, bighorn deer and woolly rhinoceros that were commonly used in the northern cold zone were all out of stock, and there were only a few old, weak, sick, or pregnant and expecting to give birth in the animal pen, and they were definitely not suitable as mounts. It was only after Dagon asked in detail that all the large camel beasts had been rented or bought about a month ago, and a considerable number of elves had recently traveled to the Northland.

The boss of the carriage shop said with an apologetic expression on his face: "Now, there are only dog-pulled sleds left... There are still some choices. After a few days, there may be no dogs. You can only use chickens..."

Hiroai wrapped her arms around her chest and asked impatiently, "Do you know which direction the other elves are going?"

"Why are you asking this?"

"Hiss..." Shiloh was about to have a seizure at the human in front of him, when Dagon lightly touched his arm and stood in front.

"The north is difficult to travel. If we can know where the other elves are going, we can meet them. Maybe we can go to the horned deer or the woolly rhino."

"They must first Going to Xuejing Lake, I don't know about it later. I also heard about it when they discussed the itinerary, but I didn't dare to ask, I dare not..." The store manager looked at Dagon and said, "Actually, a dog sled is better than a deer or a deer. Big rhinos are better, but elves like to talk too much..."

"Why dogs are better?"

"Dogs eat meat, and it is easier to carry meat than to carry grass. , you don't need to prepare a special cart. And the dog is smart!" The store manager said: "The snow cart has wheels. If there is snow on the ground, unload the wheels and replace it with a sled, and run fast!"

"That's it, that's the best. I've heard him come and go...a headache!" Shiroai said, "Does the snowmobile have a canopy?"

"I'll take care of it. Well, try to make you more comfortable. But I don't think the dog car will be big, and the probability of having a canopy is very small. I suggest you buy more clothes or quilts to keep out the cold."

"I have all of them here. ..."

"Okay, don't talk for now, or she'll be really angry." Dagon quickly pulled the shop boss and said, "Write it down, or nodded to shake your head, and close your mouth first. ——For the sake of gold coin."

"Okay..." The shop Boss covered his mouth as soon as he said two words, and looked at the gold coin that Dagon escaped from his pocket.

Twelve dogs, a six-wheeled snowmobile, which is said to hold four people when fully loaded. Using the skills he learned from the Golden Dog Caravan, Dagon carefully inspected the snowmobile and found two hidden dangers, so he used this as a reason for Boss to change to a better one. Although finding two hidden dangers is already the limit of Dagon's "car skills", the shop boss doesn't know it, and thinks that he is an expert who is proficient in all aspects of the car dealership, so he won't dare to deceive him.

Hiroai was always on the side during the bargaining process, and although she saved effort, she quickly got bored. "Six wheels? Isn't four enough, why are you so weird?"

"We have a small number of replacements on the road, so we will remove two in a while." Dagon said: "The dog pulls it. This kind of car is relatively low and the wheels are relatively small, it may be uncomfortable to sit on. Boss, put some more sacks for me."

The sacks are definitely not as comfortable as the cushions under the body, but the cushions It can only be used as a cushion, and the sack can do other things. The environment ahead is cold and freezing, although it will bring a lot of inconvenience, but it is a great convenience for preserving food. Dagon is already planning to hunt and pack food in sacks.

The shop Boss is right, when the weather is freezing, dogs are better than deer. The same weight of meat can provide more calories, allowing dogs to run farther than deer. And it is relatively more convenient to supplement meat, it is easier than finding grass, lichen and moss in the snow field. The only question now is what to do with the dogs, a creature Dagon is unfamiliar with.

He expressed his concerns, didn't expect only a slight smile from Hiloai. "You're still worried about dogs? You forgot that I can turn people into dogs, let alone make real dogs like me. I can't control the stone, so what's the point of controlling a dog?"

Actual High Level Seeing those sled dogs, Shiloh doesn't need to release spell: they're too good. Dagon had never seen such a well-behaved animal before, as if he knew that they were going to travel a long distance together, so from the very beginning he wagged his tail to show his closeness. Dagon reached out, and the big dog in the lead bowed his head tamely, sniffed him, and then stuck out his tongue and licked the back of his hand twice.

"Starhelm, look, how cute!"

Starhelm angrily climbed up Dagon's nose, stuck his tongue out at his eyes, and after being blocked by his eyelids, panting with rage to pa ta pa ta to climb back. Dagon found a piece of jerky to feed it, and patted it lightly on its head, which convinced him that he was just joking.

"Give them some warm clothes, they'll be more suitable in the long run." Shiloh always had a stern face when speaking to the shop boss, but most elves are like this, So it doesn't seem surprising. "The meat is the best, not the kind that is frozen with water."

"I dare not, I dare not, I dare not do that..."

Although Dagon took out his wallet, but it was Hiloai who paid in the end. "This is my mission," Shiroai said. "If you want to spend money on the road, you can only spend the money I gave you, otherwise you will not respect me. Dagon, do you want pocket money?"

As time together increases, Dagon learns more and more about Shiloh's temperament. If he doesn't want pocket money, he will definitely pay a heavier price next. So he asked for ten gold coins, and then cautiously and classified them to find a separate place to store them. This solemn performance really made Shirouai feel at ease, and there was a little more smile on his face.

"Don't you need a guide?" The shop boss rubbed his hands, trying to find more jobs for the people in Canine Fortress.

Hiroai shook her head, stepped directly into the snowmobile, and started stacking furs on her body. She lifted her chin and handed Dagon the driver's seat, then covered her face with a scarf, revealing only her eyes with windshields.

Dagon knows that Shiroai has a elf card, and can summon the scout eagle, not only to indicate the direction, but also to transmit what it sees directly to Shiroai's eyes. With the high-altitude guide, there is really no need to bring another person on the ground. Dagon checked the supplies one last time and sat in the driver's seat.

The lead dog glanced back at him, saw him nodded, and moved forward very intelligently. The other dogs followed, and the sleigh set off.

It's just that after a while, the lead dog, very rarely, looks back at Dagon again, and then at the other dogs, and they don't understand why the job is so easy this time. The two people at the back added a car, which was full of supplies, but seemed to be half its weight when dragging.

Dagon smiled slightly, reaching out to touch the star helmet in secret. The puppet mount is helping the group of dogs to work hard under the snowmobile. This of course saves effort, but also makes the sled more stable and reduces bumps a lot.

No, Shiroai fell asleep in the back again. She was very relieved, so she slept soundly and peacefully.
