Chapter 807 The cold earth
is because of Ronald and Costart’s guarantee.
The final departure time of the expedition was set for the morning and
evening of the next day. Ronald and Costat did not return to their hotel, but simply stayed at the place where Giovanni and the others lived for a simple night's rest. , to ensure the convenience of the team’s actions.
The next morning.
After Ronald woke up in the morning, he took Costat downstairs to have breakfast.
However, someone has been here on the first floor for a long time.
In the early morning, when there were few visitors, Giovanni was conversing in an Entrod dialect with a strong, tall and burly native of Entrod.
This man had dry blond hair, a calm expression on his big face, and his hands subconsciously clenched into fists when talking.
Whoever saw this man for the first time.
It will create the first impression of this person being calm and reliable.
"Giovanni, Javik, are you down so early?"
"There are personnel changes, so some preparations also need to be modified."
Ronald greeted and walked forward.
Of the two, Giovanni naturally does not need to be introduced again. And another calm man named Yavik was the field guide hired by Giovanni locally.
After all, any explorer with some professional ability will also invite local people who are familiar with the environment to do relevant work for safety reasons when exploring some unfamiliar environments.
Yavik's identity is that he is a famous hunter around Waterfall City.
Afterwards, Ronald had breakfast with Costart, while listening to the discussion between Giovanni and Javik, and also learned about the specific agreement between them.
According to the conditions negotiated by the two.
Yavik will lead them on a safer road and keep going north for more than a week until they reach a location that the hunters have never gone deep into. Then the contractual relationship between them can end, and then Yavik Return to Falls City by yourself.
Of course, if Javik is still willing to serve Giovanni.
They also don't mind continuing this contract and continuing to maintain this relationship during the subsequent trip to Northland.
After the conversation ended, Yavik left the hotel alone after discussing the details.
Today is the day the expedition team sets out, and of course the members will not delay much.
Ronald and Costart had not yet finished breakfast.
Bettina also took the remaining three team members, one man and one woman, to the lobby on the first floor. After Javik rushed back to the hotel, the team of seven people communicated with each other and enjoyed their last breakfast in Waterfall City.
This time because we have to go very deep into the frozen soil of the north.
Naturally, the means of transportation chosen by Ronald and his group of seven would not be the same as the previous trip to Shuangxi City.
On the recommendation of local guide Javik.
The person who served as a means of transportation this time was a large-antlered deer unique to the Entrod area.
The backbone of this animal is strong enough to support the weight of a person.
It has been tamed by the people in the Entrod area for a long time, and it is a very good transportation livestock. Considering actual safety issues, the antlers of these animals were cut off by trainers in advance to avoid unnecessary problems and accidents.
Giovanni originally prepared four big-antlered deer.
Among them, Javik, as the guide, rode one alone, while other members of the expedition team rode one in pairs, and finally one big-antlered deer was left to carry out the task of transporting supplies.
After Ronald and Costat also joined the team, Giovanni did not hesitate to invest in this aspect.
The leader of the expedition discussed with Javik this morning that he would entrust the other party to purchase two more large-antlered deer, one of which would be shared by Ronald and Kostat, while the other would also be tasked with transporting supplies.
Speaking of which, Ronald actually has a lot of experience here.
The large-antlered deer in the Entrod area had a very good talent for bearing weight. It was much stronger than the horses or camels he had seen in the past. It could easily carry two adults or cargo.
If it weren't for this kind of animal, it could only live in colder areas.
Then it will definitely become an excellent livestock that can spread widely around the world.
...
Riding a deer through an unfamiliar land should have been a nice trip.
Especially with Yavik as a professional hunter as a guide, Ronald did not need or need to care about the safety of the team at the beginning.
In addition to admiring the natural landscape of Entrod close at hand while moving forward on the road, he can even comfortably look into the distance and observe the distribution of distant mountains.
In the accumulation of snow all year round.
The diamond-shaped peaks on the ground reach into the clouds with their white caps, and occasionally there is some reflected light among the water vapor floating high up.
If you calm down and appreciate it.
This must be a beautiful picture worth experiencing.
...
On the third day after the expedition set out, the weather became colder and colder, and no obvious human residences could be seen around.
The guide Yavik still led the way alone on a big-antlered deer.
But they say they are looking for a way to continue moving forward, but in fact it is difficult to find even rugged paths or wild animal trails here. At best, they are constantly adjusting their direction on the cold land to find a flatter position, and then continue to move forward.
During the journey, only by sitting down and taking the initiative to calm down the smart big-horned deer can make them feel a little more comfortable.
Until the time came early on the fourth day.
Everyone packed up the temporary camp and prepared to continue setting off.
Ronald looked at the other people. These expedition team members obviously looked tired from their saddle horses. When they sat on the back of the big-horned deer, Ronald discussed it with Costart in a low voice: "To be honest, there are occasional
wild trips like this. The experience is quite good."
"Compared to fighting with those who cast spells, or dealing with strange creatures that have no clue at all, breathing the cold but fresh air in this ice and snow can also be called a kind of enjoyment. ."
Kostat nodded with great approval:
"Sir, I agree with your point of view."
"It's just that I don't have any objections to the outings over the past few months. But in comparison, I was still in Kurpis. Then living a regular life is more in line with my daily habits."
Ronald became happy when he heard this:
"It's good for you to express your personal thoughts like this!"
"Costat, if you want to have a complete personality model, then this attitude of loving your own comfort zone is also a necessary quality. It shows that you are on the right path now!" Costart looked as usual
. :
"Sir, I also wish you can find what you want."
