Chapter 288 The Nords Who Abandoned Healing
"Dracula, these Nords don't look like Argonians." I couldn't help asking Dracula about the Nords on the road.

"They are not as insidious as the Argonians, but they are quite xenophobic." Dracula said, "In today's terms, they are a bit persecuted and paranoid. They always feel that outsiders are here to take their treasures."

"Well, it's still a tough nut to crack anyway." I said helplessly, "By the way, how did you get in touch with xenophobic people like them?"

"Actually, I'm not very familiar with them. Our two parties are really just a joint interest." Dracula said, "Because they are in this icy and snowy environment, there is no way to plant or raise livestock, so they are very short of food. Let's talk The only condition is that they will be dispatched when they need to fight, but in the future they will be guaranteed to divide the territory in Russia. It’s that simple, after talking about it, they didn’t even ask us to eat and let us leave quickly.”

"It turned out to be a bunch of foodies." I said, "Isn't it better to bring some food and drink when I go?"

"No, in that case the Nords will feel that you are looking down on them." Speaking of which, Dracula couldn't help but pinch his temples, "How to describe them, in short, any of your actions, they can pass the incomprehensible logical analysis to the conclusion that you are trying to harm them."

"Oh, why give up treatment." I couldn't help saying, but suddenly remembered something, "You just said that they thought we were going to steal their treasure? Do they have any treasure?"

"I don't know about this either. But since they have felt this way for generations, then there must be." Dracula didn't dare to confirm this, "but it's hard for me to imagine that on the ice sheet in the North Pole, Are there any treasures. Gold and jewelry are a bit too vulgar. Even if there are, they should be some treasures."

Of course, it is impossible for us to go directly to the North Pole.The North Pole is not a continent like the South Pole.It is a large ocean - the Arctic Ocean, plus the surrounding islands and the coastal areas of North America and northern Asia.However, due to the extremely low temperature, a large number of ice sheets were formed.Decades ago, it was still possible to walk there with peace of mind as if it were a mainland.But in recent years, due to global warming, a large number of ice sheets have become floating icebergs.

It is now March and April, and it is still the end of winter in the North Pole. The temperature is extremely low, with an average of between minus [-] and minus [-] degrees.The first ship I took was unable to complete the task at all. Among other things, the engine oil alone would freeze due to the low temperature.We were lucky, too, just in time for the end of the polar night.This kind of polar night will cause more than half a year in the world where there is no day, only night.That's a real nightmare for life.From this point of view, the Nords are indeed very powerful.In this way we first landed in Russia, switched to Arctic equipment, and headed to Siberia.From there, head deeper into the depths by snowmobile.

Generally speaking, this season is not very suitable to go to the North Pole, it is best to wait another two months.The expert's suggestion is to let us go by dog ​​sled.But we only declined because of staffing issues.We didn't bring so many people this time, Sun Dasheng and I were the only ones in the trade union, and there were only Dracula and another Duke vampire in the vampire clan.After the first stretch, the snowmobile was useless.After that, Dracula and another vampire flew directly to me and Sun Dasheng.

According to Dracula, the Nords' stronghold is not the most central North Pole, but a more peripheral location.According to them, the treasure left by the ancestors is hidden in the land of no north.We flew like this all day and then landed.I have excellent eyesight, and when I looked from a distance, I found several ice houses that were integrated with the environment here.Because they are all white, you can't tell if you don't look carefully.

Far away, Dracula shouted loudly, "Nords, I am your friend Dracula."

According to Dracula, the Nords suffer from severe persecution paranoia. If you are discovered by them first, you will be easily attacked directly.So you can only tell the other party where you are before they find you.Soon, a few figures can be found rushing out of the snow on the opposite side.Dressed in the same white, they are extremely difficult to identify.But when they got close, they realized that the strong bodies of these Nords were even more perverted than half-orcs.Most of the half-orcs we saw were more than two meters long.And none of the Nords is below three meters.But it can also be felt that their flexibility cannot be compared with that of Orcs.He was wearing a white coat, and his body hair was also white.Like wearing a white sweater.Looking down, you will find that the soles of their feet are extremely large.Proportionally speaking, a sole is bigger than their faces.This may have evolved to adapt to walking on ice sheets.

But unexpectedly, none of these people had weapons or anything like that.They are all staring at us.

"Dracula, we Nords respect you. But it doesn't mean we trust you." A leading Nord opened his mouth and said, "Why bring a human to our sacred territory."

"This is our ally, Zhao Jue, the head of the Tomb Raiders Guild representing the power of alien races in the human race. This time is hope—" However, before Dracula finished speaking, I could clearly feel that these Nords There was something wrong with the expressions of the people, their eyes widened and they stared at me viciously.It looked like it was going to eat me.I suddenly felt baffled, I hadn't done anything yet, why did I blow my beard and stare at me!

"Tomb robber! That's a thief!"

"Damn, damned humans! They must have come here to steal our treasure!"

"That's right, the treasures of the ancestors have attracted humans!"

"Sworn to the death to protect the heritage of our ancestors! Damn thief! From the origin of our sacred territory!"

"For the glory of the ancestors, Nord warriors will shed their last drop of blood to protect the treasure!"

Nima, what is it all about? The paranoia of persecution should be limited!You can think of so many things just by hearing a name, you guys are a bit too weird!Why give up treatment!I should say that you are naturally stupid or have a snake spirit disease!

Dracula also had black lines all over his face, and pinched his temples hard, "Everyone, you misunderstood, their Tomb Raiders Guild is not what you think. In fact—in fact—oh my god, how can I explain it to you? Woolen cloth."

Looking at Dracula's helpless appearance, I don't know what to do.In the end, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Let's introduce ourselves again. We come from a heterogeneous organization of human beings. That's all. We came here without any malice, just from the Alliance of Hope."

"Humans, are you looking down on the IQ of our Nords? You think we will be deceived by your rhetoric, then you are very wrong." The Nords said with a proud expression of seeing through your conspiracy.After hearing this, I was stunned for five or six seconds before I realized what they meant, they still had IQs!Nima, please don't insult the word IQ, okay?You say IQ like that, does it agree with IQ?

"Let's talk about something practical." After thinking for a while, I suppressed the urge to go crazy and said, "I understand your suffering. You are short of food right now. I can provide you with a lot of food. Not in the future , is now. How about it, is this enough sincerity?"

As I said that, I waved the holy order, and directly in the icy and snowy land, a bag of flour like a hill appeared across the sky.This can be regarded as the killer feature of our operation this time.Dracula said before that the Nords are facing food shortages.For this reason, when I was directly in Moscow, I purchased 20 catties of flour.At the same time, I also discovered another use of Huo Qubing, which is the space bag.His ability can expand an independent space.This space can hold both people and things.It is simply a sharp tool to carry things with you.I thought it would take a large army to get these things to the Nords.You know, if you rely on human transportation, let's not talk about the confidentiality work.Facing this kind of icy and snowy environment alone, travel expenses are quite a terrifying problem.It's better now, 20 jin of flour was directly stuffed into Huo Qubing's space.Extremely convenient, it is simply a must-have item for home travel.

20 catties of flour appeared out of nowhere, piled up in front of him like a hill.The visual impact can be imagined, and these flours are like banknotes to the Nords.So in their eyes, it is tantamount to stacking banknotes like a hill in front of them.Those who feel that their heart is not good will easily pass out directly.

Now it was the Nords' turn to be dazed. After a long time, a Nord came back to his senses, "You wait here, this matter needs to be decided by the elders in the clan. I will go to the elders .”

After speaking, the Nord ran back like flying.The other Nords who stayed behind also stared at the food intently, as if seeing a peerless beauty.I actually underestimated the Nords' hunger for food.The Nords have long subsisted on sea-like creatures, which are quite restrictive.For generations of Nords, food has been one of the most precious things.In recent years, with the severity of global warming, the ice caps have melted, and the fishing platforms for the Nords have disappeared.This makes the already scarce food even more scarce.If the Nords themselves had not adapted to the severe cold environment, they might have already begun to perish.After a while, I saw several taller Nords coming quickly.Similarly, as soon as they arrived, they stared at the food intently.
