"I'm back, another world!"

Chapter 371: The Lonely City Under the Snowstorm

Hu-hu-hu-hu-!

The bitter cold wind mixed with ice and snow debris kept hitting pedestrians' faces, their delicate and fair skin flushed abnormally, and their thin bodies struggled to move forward in the strong wind.

The goddess with a plump figure was fine, but the other girl was almost equal to an ordinary person in terms of physique, and even with magical blessings, she couldn't resist the cold.

At this time, a black shadow came out from the corner of his eyes, took off his coat, wrapped it up for the slender girl, and then silently blocked the front, parting the wind and snow blowing from the front. The pressure on his body suddenly lightened.

The three of them left consistent footprints on the snow, but were quickly buried by the wind and snow...

The wild is naturally like hell, but even if you have arrived in the city, nothing will change.

The tall city walls can't stop the blizzard that can flood the world, and the thick white carpet on the street is no different from the wild. The only consolation is that in the city, you don't have to worry about stepping on the air and falling into the snow pit.

A group of three people struggled to advance in this bad weather. It seemed that they did not expect to encounter such an abnormal weather suddenly. The clothes on everyone's bodies were not thick enough, especially the man who distributed the clothes to his companions. It's half naked walking in the ice and snow.

But unexpectedly, they didn't die on the side of the road, and were buried by the wind and snow and turned into frozen corpses everywhere. The man walking in the front looked calm and composed. Although he was advancing against the wind, he showed no signs of difficulty. When blowing through his body, he was separated by invisible air, protecting his companions like a transparent barrier.

Although the cold cannot be completely isolated, it is not difficult to move an inch.

"...Hostel."

There was a trace of surprise in the voice of the silver-haired girl: "Finally found it!"

"Well, let's hurry up."

The black-haired boy—Jiang Liu turned around and said this to Heber and Alia.

"There are not many buildings with lights in this city. There may be some problems. Follow me closely."

The two girls nodded, and then followed Jiang Liu towards the only brightly lit building on this street.

"call--"

The moment the door opened, the cold wind poured in through the gap, cutting through the warm indoor air like a sharp knife.

"It's so cold! Shut it up, bastard!"

"Hey!"

"Do you understand the rules... Ah, you bastard, don't take the opportunity to cheat!"

"If you cheat, you'll have to chop off your little finger!"

"Whose ale? If no one recognizes it, it belongs to Lao Tzu."

"Squeeze the fat pig woman to death, give me a wink!"

— the uproar.

The warm air mixed with the smell of sweat, food, and tobacco blew over his body, melting a little of the wind and snow, and gradually turned into water droplets that fell on the floor.

After closing the door of the hostel, the three of Jiang Liu looked at the noisy and crowded hall, frowning tightly.

This is supposed to be a hotel, not a tavern, right?

But the density of the crowd makes people mistakenly think that they have come to the supermarket during the discount promotion. People of all kinds ( ) fill every corner, and muscular guys occupy the only few tables. After the wine bottles and empty glasses are taken away, the remaining people often form a small group of seven or eight people, sitting on the ground or chatting or punching while drinking.

It is worth noting that these people include men, women, old and young, and they are mixed with each other without being separated... Sure enough, they should be based on the family.

Looking around, the small hall on the first floor was filled with about a hundred people, and there were even a few people sitting there on the stairs, giving people a feeling that it was difficult to get down.

When the three of Jiang Liu came in, some people also cast their gazes over. Seeing that it was a combination of two girls and a boy, no matter how you looked at it, they were "harmless to humans and animals", and they didn't care much.

There were also a few very curious eyes, but they were not malicious after all, and most of them stayed on Aaliyah, full of surprise.

As for Jiangliu and Heber...the goddess of sealing is here, but no one pays attention to them.

This building looks like a hotel from the outside, but the internal environment... The three of them have never seen this battle, and they don't know what to do for a while.

Fortunately, they didn't struggle for a long time, and a brisk voice came over, even though the environment was so noisy, it was not covered up.

"Three guests, do you need any help?"

A brown-haired girl wearing an apron and a headscarf, with freckles on her face, came out from behind the crowd, walked quickly through the open spaces divided by the crowd, and came to Jiang Liu and the others.

"I am the daughter of the owner of this store and also a hostess. Do the three guests want to stay or take shelter from the wind?"

"Shelter from the wind?"

Jiang Liu frowned: "Do you mean this snowstorm?"

"Yes, sheltering from the wind only costs one-third of the accommodation cost, that is, four large copper coins. If you live here for more than three consecutive days, you can get a discount." The waitress introduced enthusiastically.

"No, we will stay."

"Uh... that, sorry, three guests."

The waitress looked distressed: "There are no more rooms left, I'm afraid I can only let you sleep on the floor, but this way the cost can be cut in half, how about it?"

"Well, I guess so." Jiang Liu glanced at the situation in the house, "After all, there are so many people... But why don't you avoid the snowstorm at home?"

This is also the strangest point about Jiangliu. Logically speaking, in this kind of weather, people should choose not to go out and stay at home. How could they all gather in the hotel? They can't all be travelers passing by!

"It seems that the three guests are from other places."

The hostess smiled: "There have been no outsiders here recently... It's normal for you to be unclear. I wonder if the three guests noticed anything special before they came here?"

"Speaking of which..."

Heber and Aaliyah glanced at each other: "This blizzard... seems a little abrupt."

"Yes, it came right away, without even a hint of warning, walking in the wilderness and somehow entering the range of a blizzard."

"At first I thought I was looking for the wrong way, but this should indeed be the main city of Luo'an City... Besides, it's not the season for snowing now."

"That's right, this guest mentioned the key point."

The waitress nodded: "Because it's not snowing season—at least three months earlier."

After sorting out her words, she continued: "In fact, this city can barely be said to be like spring all year round, even in the deep winter, there are only two thin snowfalls at most.

But this year I don’t know what’s going on, it’s snowed since a month ago, and it’s getting bigger and longer, the sky has always been light gray, and there has never been a sunny day... Now this The blizzard has been going on all day and night.

Because there is no experience in winter at all, the weather suddenly turned cold, and many elderly people did not make it through... The firewood that could be burned was quickly exhausted, and there was no extra food reserve, and it was even more impossible to go out for food in this weather.

Everyone can only wait to die in their own homes, but fortunately, places like hotels and taverns generally have the habit of digging cellars to store wine and food, and the church and lords have also given some useful magic items. When we get together, we can also take care of and keep warm for each other, and it gradually becomes what it is now.

Everyone's life is difficult, although my family is happy to help take you in.

But after all, there is very little food, and there is no unlimited supply... The accommodation fee mentioned just now is actually the meal fee. If the three of you just want to stay, you don't need to pay. "

"So that's how it is..." Aaliyah suddenly asked seriously, "Why did this change happen?"

"Oh, this guest is really good. I'm just an ordinary waitress. How could I know so much?" The waitress thought about it again, "However, if someone in this city knows what happened, it must be It's the lord."

"Lord?"

"In the southeast corner of the city, the one with the brightest lights at night is the lord's mansion."

"it is good!"

"Ugh?"

The waitress covered her mouth: "I, did I say something that shouldn't be said?

By the way, are the three adventurers outside?I heard that the rescue team failed to come in. How did you get to the city? "

"Um, I don't even know how to answer...well, just treat us as adventurers, thank you."

Jiang Liu smiled and nodded, then said to Heber and Alia: "Let's leave."

"Wait! With such a heavy snowstorm, where can we live even if we leave?"

"Sorry, sorry, there are too many people here, I don't care if the floor is laid or not, but I have a female companion, so I have to think about it..."

Jiang Liu grinned and gave the waitress a thumbs up.

"In short, let's go to the lord's house to inquire about the situation, goodbye!"

Chapter 372: The Hunger of the Gods

"Ah, Lord Brave, you are here! The oracle is correct!"

Jiang Liu originally thought that it would take a lot of trouble to meet the people in power in this city, but he didn't expect that just after signing up at the door, the other party couldn't wait to welcome the three of them in without any doubt about their identities .

And what was waiting for them in the mansion was not the noble lord, but a blond woman in a nun's attire, about 30 years old, who almost fainted from excitement after seeing the three of Jiang Liu.

"Oracle?" Jiang Liu looked at Alia inquiringly.

The Goddess of Sealing has long expected: "The God Realm and the Lower Realm have a certain connection, which is convenient for guiding the brave and providing certain convenience for the adventure of the brave. Usually, it is to tell the clergy in the church to make them prepare in advance to save time."

"This is quite humane... Cough, who are you?" Jiang Liu turned to look at the blond nun.

"Master Brave, I am the priest of the church in this city, and I am looking forward to your arrival every day."

The blond nun clasped her fingers in front of her chest and raised her head to pray to Jiang Liu.

"I beg you to save this city, if this continues, everyone will be frozen by the blizzard!"

"Calm down, big sister of the clergyman." Heber nodded, "Although the situation is urgent, you can't solve the problem just by worrying here. It's better to serve two cups of hot tea first and let us warm up. Let me tell you the details."

"Oh, this is really rude, I have forgotten such an important thing!"

The blond nun hurriedly saluted and apologized: "I am Priest Isni, you must have worked hard on the road, now prepare for the reception of the Brave and the Goddess, please come this way."

"Hmm... Excuse me, why are you the only one?" Alia glanced at the servants in the mansion, "This should be the lord's mansion, right?"

"...This is exactly what I will report to the brave man later."

Isni smiled wryly: "The lord is... gone."

-

A month ago, when the climate just started to change, everyone didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, but the cold wind and snow almost destroyed the entire autumn harvest, and all the wild animals in the nearby forests and wilderness also fled. I fell into a situation where I was sitting and eating mountains and nothing.

Although there is still some food in stock, it is obviously not enough to support the whole winter... Besides, I don't know how long this ghostly weather will last.

But at this time, the communication crystal ball used to report the situation of the territory to the imperial capital can no longer be used, and other magic props have also been invalidated, and the city has fallen into a state of isolation from the world.

The lord sent soldiers to seek help from the nobles in the surrounding territories, but for unknown reasons, none of the messengers he sent could return.
