Chapter 287 Marching to the Far North
Chapter 287 Marching to the Far North
After coming down from the small hill, both Qin Hao and Wei Qi felt a little heavy. The excitement that they were about to return to the Northland had been diluted a lot.
In fact, if the relationship between the Northland and the Empire hadn't dropped to a freezing point, there is a high probability that Carlo and Moss would not return to the Northland after they were promoted to nine stars.
After all, such a cursed place is simply too incomprehensible for the nine-star powerhouse.
As for calling people into the extreme north to solve the source of all disasters, who would do such a thankless thing.
You should know that the decline in strength caused by being absorbed is irreversible, that is to say, once you enter the Northland, you will receive a continuous and permanent weakening buff.
It's okay for a short time, it's absorbed a little bit, and after a little practice, it can be promoted back soon.
But the problem is that no one knows the strength of this magic dragon, nor can they be [-]% sure that the source of the curse is the magic dragon.
Not to mention how much impact the crusade on this dragon will have on one's strength, if the final root cause is not the dragon, but other reasons, then the problem will be big.
Moreover, no one would do such a thankless thing. After all, the scope of this cursed land is only the northern land, and it has no impact on the other four regions.
On the contrary, the weakening of the strength of the Northland is a good thing for the other four regions.
Finally, with a sigh, Qin Hao and Wei Qi left the hill and continued to rush towards Luoying City, while Moss and Carlo stayed in the yard.
At this time, Moss and Carlo are the last pinnacles of the North Land, and no accidents can easily happen, so the two of them can't act rashly until they find a way to solve the curse of the North Land.
Especially now that the relationship with the empire is still so stiff, they still have to guard against the invasion of the empire. This is why they chose to build a yard on this hill where they can see the situation of Luoying City at a glance. If they get close, they will be attracted. If you are far away, you will not be able to see Luoying City, so this location is just right.
Returning to Luoying City, where he had been away for two years, Qin Hao's mood was rather complicated.
Before the war with the empire, Luoying City was the busiest place in the entire Northland.
But Luoying City at this time has not only become very deserted, the atmosphere in the whole city is also filled with a murderous atmosphere.
Walking on the street, from time to time there will be armored, fully armed Northland warriors passing by the street, all the vendors on both sides of the road have disappeared, and many shops on both sides have been closed, leaving only a few blacksmith shops and restaurants The door of the tea house is still open, but there are not many customers.
When seeing this scene, Qin Hao just became very depressed, while Wei Qi was directly worried.
Seeing such a situation, Vicky, who grew up in the Northland since she was a child, couldn't possibly be happy. The original excitement of going back to her hometown disappeared in an instant.
Qin Hao quickly noticed the change in Weiqi's mood, took her hand lightly, and said, "Don't worry, Beidi will definitely get better in the future, and it's only temporary now."
In fact, when he first entered the gate of Luoying City, Qin Hao felt that something was wrong with Wei Qi's mood, but it was not so obvious at that time. After seeing how depressing the city became, he showed it.
"Besides, don't you still believe in Lord Muller's ability? He must have already thought about the future development plan of the Northland." Qin Hao comforted with a pretended relaxed smile.
After all, Qin Hao's consolation played a little role. After listening to Qin Hao's words, the sadness on Wei Qi's face obviously faded a lot.
The two walked quickly on the street, and their goal was the City Lord's Mansion.
Because of the war, Luoying City is heavily guarded at this time, and [-] northern warriors have been stationed in Luoying City for two years.
As the commander-in-chief, Muller has naturally been guarding the city lord's mansion.
Of course, the first thing Qin Hao and Wei Qi did when they returned to the Northland was to meet Mueller. After all, although they both joined the Holy Palace, one was Mueller's staff and friend, and the other was from the Northland. Princess, since I have returned to the Northland, I must go to see Mu Le, the current Lord of the Northland.
As soon as he entered the City Lord's Mansion, he saw Mu Le frowning looking at a pile of documents and the like.
Compared with two years ago, Mueller has not changed much, but the expression on his face is much more serious.
Two years ago, he could leisurely chat with Qin Hao while making tea, but now Qin Hao glanced at the remaining official documents on Muller's desk, and knew that he definitely had no leisure time.
"Master Muller, we are back." Qin Hao and Wei Qi both greeted with a smile at the same time as soon as they entered the door.
"Oh? That's great, you're finally back!" Hearing the voices of Qin Hao and Wei Qi, Mu Le put down the pen in his hand in surprise, and walked out with a smile.
"Lord Mu Le, long time no see!" Qin Hao greeted with a smile.
"You boy, if I knew I wouldn't let you go to the East China Sea, you would become a disciple of the East China Sea Holy Palace if you went there. You can go alone, and you will also kidnap the princess of the Northland." When it came to this, Mu Le teasingly looked at the two still holding hands.
"Oh, Mr. Muller, you have wronged me. I only joined the Holy Palace thanks to Vicky's blessing, and I didn't abduct her." When he said this, Qin Hao remembered that The Moon Messenger took the initiative to invite Vicky to join the Holy Palace.
"Do you think I don't know anything? The Lord of Moss sent a message back long ago. You are the No. 2 Holy Gate Grand Competition. Your strength is not inferior to the average eight-star powerhouse. You left two years ago. It was only two stars at the time." Muller couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Hehe, luck is all luck." Qin Hao smiled.
"Whether it's luck or not, if you can beat up the people from the Sheji Academy, that's a sigh of relief for Beidi." As he said, a trace of anger flashed in Mu Le's eyes.
"Master Muller, the situation in the Northland doesn't seem to be very good in the past two years." After chatting for a while, Qin Hao took the initiative to bring the topic back to the issue of the development of the Northland.
"Alas~" Hearing Qin Hao's words, Muller couldn't help but sighed: "Indeed, after the battle two years ago, the relationship between the Empire and the Northland dropped to freezing point. , Although the empire did not continue to launch an offensive, it banned all trade with the Northland, so the problems in the Northland in the past two years have indeed been serious."
The trade between the Northland and the Empire is mainly concentrated on fur and grain. The Northland is suitable for grazing and farming, so it is rich in various meat and fur. However, because of the bitter cold, the grain output is extremely low, and it is generally necessary to buy a large amount from the Empire.
The quality of fur in the Northland is good, and it is also well received in the empire. However, food is just needed, and fur is not. Therefore, after the two places cut off trade, the empire has not been affected much, but the Northland is facing a crisis of food shortage. Mueller has been worrying about the question.
