The voice rang directly in An Ran's mind, "You are a new generation player, right? What are you looking for in the Icefield?"
An Ran's eyes lit up. Being able to communicate meant that there might not be a need to fight.
"Old man, I'm here to find the Heart of Ice."
The old elf paused and said, "The Heart of Ice is born in the iceberg. It is the core of the iceberg. Without the core, the iceberg will collapse.
The iceberg is our home.
An Ran scratched her head. "Don't you live on the ice field? You don't have to live in the mountains."
An Ran tried to bargain, but Chang Jun took over and said, "Old man, don't try to fool my master. It won't matter if your iceberg is without its core. Didn't you build the iceberg yourself?"
The Heart of Ice is very rare outside, but it's almost everywhere here.
You pile up the ice, and after a while it will naturally start to grow.
It was mentioned before that the Heart of Ice is not too rare, and it is almost everywhere in the ice field, but this thing is rare outside.
Ice elves are not allowed to flow out and their numbers are controlled, so naturally they are rare and valuable.
If you want the Heart of Ice, you have to come to the Icefield in person to get it, and then you can ask for anything you want.
This is just like diamonds on Earth, the quantity is controlled, the prices are driven up, and the prices are inflated.
Otherwise, how do you think they survived guarding such a vast ice field with few supplies?
The Ice Heart is used to trade with various races.
Create an iceberg, and after it is created, the iceberg will slowly grow an ice heart. In addition, the ice elves cannot leave the ice field, so this can be considered their specialty.
By relying on this, they can exchange survival supplies with other races and survive.
The old elf smiled embarrassedly and said, "It turns out that it is Lord Changjun who has come to visit. I didn't recognize you after you changed your appearance."
If you say it again, I won't embarrass myself here.
How could you not know about us?】
Chang Jun snorted coldly, "Don't try to trick me. We want one hundred Ice Hearts. Name your price."
Chang Jun didn't let the others go back to the space, just to intimidate this group of ice elves here.
They are not good creatures. If you are weak, they will really bully you.
The elf elder extended his hand, making an invitation. "We think we'll need to talk for a long time. Standing out in the snow is too cold. How about we go inside the tribe and discuss it in detail?"
An Ran asked Chang Jun, then followed him into the clan territory.
Ice elves live in ice caves. Although they live in groups, they don't like to interfere with each other, so each ice cave is independent.
On the leeward side, from the bottom of the mountain to the top, there are countless ice caves scattered around, some of which are covered with straw mats, and some with thick leather, which serve as the entrances to the caves.
When the wind blows, the curtain does not block the wind at all and is blown completely into the hole.
The elf elder lives halfway up the mountain, with a slippery ice path leading up to it.
The ice elves just had to walk up to it, as they were originally of the ice element. An Ran raised her foot to try, and she almost fell flat on her face on the first step.
I don't know how many times this ice has been stepped on. It's so bright that you can clearly see the human figure on it.
Facing the other ice elves who were watching the fun with ill intentions, An Ran flapped his wings decisively and flew up. There was no harm in going up, as long as he could go up.
The faces of the ice elves were... too blue, and it was hard to tell whether they looked good or not.
An Ran crawled into the ice cave. The ice cave was very large. After going a distance inside, it turned a huge bend, blocking all the cold wind outside.
The cave in the middle is large enough to accommodate more than twenty people. There are ice-carved seats and a dining table. A small hole on the side is covered by a curtain, but it should be the kitchen.
Turn again and you will see the bedroom.
The ice elves live in a simple place, but the living facilities are very complete.
They sat down on both sides, but the ice chairs made them feel cold from head to toe.
Anran took out a piece of bear skin from his backpack, folded it into seven or eight layers, and sat on it.
The eyes of the elf elder, who was not too enthusiastic at first, suddenly sparkled. If he was not mistaken, this thing must be a level 65 bear skin.
That's good stuff. This means that the person in front of me can kill level 65 monsters, so we can have long-term cooperation.
And judging from her appearance, she definitely has no shortage of supplies, so you can ask for as much as you want.
[Player, you want one hundred Ice Hearts? You know how precious these are...]
【snort!】
Just as the elf elder was about to trick An Ran into giving her more supplies, Chang Jun next to him snorted coldly.
The old elf shuddered, how could he have forgotten that there was someone who knew the business in front of him.
Changjun looked at it without blinking, flapping his wings from time to time, as if he was ready to fight if they had a disagreement.
The old elf chuckled a few times, changed his strategy and started crying poor and playing the victim.
"Look, our tribe has tens of thousands of children to support. They don't have enough to eat, sleep, or wear warm clothes. There's a shortage of supplies here, and not many plants grow. Blah blah blah..."
The old elf was crying as he spoke, and when he got to the touching part, the other elves in the cave started crying too.
It was so pitiful and miserable.
But if they looked a little better, An Ran might have felt sympathy for them. But sorry, no matter how pitifully they cried in front of this face, An Ran said that her heart was as calm as water.
A face full of cracks, with tears and snot running from crying, no eyebrows, and bulging eyes. It doesn't look pitiful, but rather scary.
Anran didn't know if it was because of the cold or because she was knocked by these elves, but she got goosebumps all over her body.
After they finished their performance, the two sides began to formally discuss the deal, and Anran handed this task to Changjun.
It understood the market conditions and was not affected by them. Although she was not affected either, she did not know the price of the Ice Heart.
The two sides started a war of words, and it was unknown how long the conversation lasted before they finally agreed on the price.
200 Ice Hearts can be exchanged for 3 tons of vegetables, 8 tons of meat, 1 ton of rice and flour, and 200 animal skins.
In order to be on the safe side and for future use, Changjun asked for double the quantity.
Nine-tenths of Anran's food supplies were instantly taken away, and the remaining ones were fruits and seafood that she didn't want to trade.
She really didn't lack these things. Although she traded a large amount of materials at one time, they were not valuable to her and were not worth any money.
The supplies she had accumulated in the past were basically untouched, but now almost all of them have been traded.
In An Ran's opinion, as long as her rare minerals, weapons and the like are not used, it is not a problem.
The system provides the most food and a richer variety. Probably because the higher the level, the less good food there is to give, so the amount of food given increases.
Especially after killing high-level monsters.
