Chapter 229: Frost People’s Allegiance, Invention of Canned Food, Ice Silkworm Sashimi

The wind and snow were howling, and the sound of horse hooves was drowned out by the vast snowfield.

This great victory made every cavalryman breathe a sigh of relief, and they looked at the young baron in the lead with admiration.

Fokas bent down and picked up the axe handle buried in the snow, pushed away the ice and snow on the axe body, looked at the shiny ice axe, and exhaled a puff of white mist.

"This batch of spoils captured is of great value."

"The Yeti is said to be a descendant of the Frost Giants, and has certain forging skills." Ye Zhi took the ice-forged hammer from Helga, looked at it, and said thoughtfully:

"Based on the material of ice essence, it is also mixed with a little mithril. It is of excellent quality... This war hammer belongs to you, Helga."

The lion girl was startled for a moment, then she was overjoyed. She held up the long handle of the war hammer with both hands, knelt on one knee in front of Ye Zhi's saddle, and said excitedly:

"Thank you, Lord!"

Ye Zhi nodded slightly.

"There are a lot of ice essence materials in this batch of weapons, which have frost elements." Phocas looked around at the weapons buried in the snow. "This kind of ice will not melt even if it encounters fire. It is lighter and harder than steel... I heard that the Great Wall of Winter is made entirely of ice essence."

"So, there may be ice ore veins in the snow forest?" Helga was surprised.

"It's very likely." Phocas nodded seriously.

"The yetis aren't as good at mining as the dwarves. I guess they enslaved the frost people to work for them in their colonies."

Ye Zhi paused for a moment and said, "Although the Frost People are uncivilized barbarians, they are still human beings after all. If there is a chance, we should recruit them as well."

"The Frost People are a nomadic people who worship the Winter Goddess, right? Can they speak human language?" Helga asked.

Ye Zhi, as a linguist, nodded and said, "The Frost Folk speak a language similar to the Northern dialect, and each of them is an excellent hunter and shepherd. If we can gain their loyalty, it will be a good thing for Morning Frost Ridge."

Fokas frowned slightly: "The Frost People are barbaric and difficult to train. Even if we rescue them from the Yeti, they may not be willing to join us."

Ye Zhi smiled and said, "At worst, we can capture and release seven times."

"Seven captures and seven releases? What does that mean?" Phocas was at a loss.

Ye Zhi did not answer, but patted the old knight on the shoulder and smiled:

"Based on the Frost People, we can even build a Frost Wolf Cavalry Team belonging to our Morning Frost Ridge. By then, this cavalry team will also be handed over to you to command, Fokas."

Fokasi was stunned, then said with emotion: "I will definitely live up to your expectations, young master!"

*Deep in the snowy forest, in an ancient glacial cave.

A pair of cold, icy blue eyes stared coldly at Ye Zhi who was several miles away.

This is a large monster with a hideous head and two horns on its head, like a white-haired gorilla, but with the same sinister eyes as a human.

Frosthowl was not originally called this name. He earned this name that symbolizes bravery after he twisted off his own brother's head and won the championship of the tribal duel.

His wisdom and ambition are far beyond the reach of his peers.

It was he who led the Yeti, killed the leader of the Frost People, and forcibly captured these humans as slaves.

In Frosthowl's view, humans are no different from wolfhounds.

Until today, when he was secretly confronting the human boy in the distance, Frost Howl felt a little bit difficult for the first time.

He was not absolutely sure that he could defeat this human head-on. He was even worried that if he showed up, he might not be able to leave.

Therefore, even if all the outpost troops were defeated, Frosthowl did not leave the Snow Forest, the territory it was familiar with.

In the battle of high-ring warriors, geographical advantages are very important. Being familiar with the geographical advantages is equivalent to being familiar with the creative field there, and being able to call upon the elements and mana of the place more quickly.

Frosthowl has lived in this snowy forest since he was a child.

In the outside world, he might not be a match for that human, but if that human entered the Snow Forest, Frost Howl was confident that he would defeat him! "Once he enters the Snow Forest, he will be defeated by me!"

Frost Howl thought:

"Unless he can destroy the entire snow forest in one fell swoop, humph, that's simply impossible!"

That night.

Frosthowl did not leave the glacial cave, and was still secretly monitoring the human village on the edge of the snow forest.

He and his people have long coveted the food in this village.

Unlike the skinny Frost People, these humans are extremely delicious in Frost Throat's eyes! "This group of humans has settled down in the village. Nighttime is usually when humans are most relaxed."

Frost Howl's eyes were deep, and he stood up suddenly, holding an ice-breaking battle axe in his hand. He made a decision secretly and said coldly:

"I will go there alone tonight and make them pay with blood!"

Frost Howl stepped out of the cave and was suddenly stunned. On the treetop in front of him, there was a snow-white owl with bright eyes standing, staring at him motionlessly.

Suddenly, Frost Howl felt a chill and realized that he had not noticed when the snowy owl had broken in.

This means that it must be at least a king-level monster to evade his detection! Has it been targeted? But when exactly? Frost Howl's heart was cold, his face was grim, and his eyes showed a cunning rarely seen in the snow monster clan. He suddenly blew out a mouthful of ice mist! He tried to hide in the ice mist and escape.

But it was too late! Frost Howl was shocked to find that the scenery in all directions was changing rapidly.

The familiar snow forest was long gone, and an extremely unfamiliar building surrounded him: rows of cabinets were filled with picture albums that humans called "books", the snow on the ground turned into wooden boards, and the dome above his head soared into the sky.

An even stronger sense of crisis crept into Frost Howl's heart.

This environment had no advantages for him at all, not to mention that Frost Roar had not yet figured out what kind of means it was that could quickly change the surrounding environment!

At this time, a figure walked slowly down the high stairs.

Frost Howl's eyes suddenly widened, he clenched the axe handle in his hand, and stared at the silver-haired boy: "It's you? What the hell did you do!"

"So you can speak human language. You seem quite intelligent. No wonder you can achieve a high level."

Ye Zhi held the Silver Oak Sword in his hand and said calmly, "However, you are still too careless. If your arrow had not exposed your whereabouts, it would have taken some effort to find you."

"Now..." Ye Zhi deliberately dragged out the end of his words, suddenly raised the sword, and slashed out a bright moonlight sword light.

Clang! Shuanghou barely avoided it and flew into a rage: "You human are so shameless, you actually attacked me by surprise!"

"How can I reason with a heretic like you?" Yeats said righteously and harshly.

Frost Howl was raging and he swung his battle axe to fight back. The axe blade glowed with a cold light and the heavy axe fell, as if bringing up a cold wave. All the bookcases in the illusion were frozen into ice!

The illusion weakened Frost Roar's geographical advantage, causing his perception of the frost element to drop sharply. Although the axe was powerful, Ye Zhi was able to take it head-on!

Ding! The sword and the battle axe collided, stirring up extremely cold energy.

There was a clanging sound of metal, and Frost Howl looked at Ye Zhi who was parrying the battle axe in disbelief.

This human is so weak, yet he didn't dodge and instead withstood my heavy blow?

In an instant, Ye Zhi's sword pierced Frost Howl's throat, eyes, heart and other vital parts like a gust of wind and rain! Combat Skill: Blade Dance.

In just a short moment, he unleashed an impenetrable sword move, which could easily scratch a strong enemy, but completely suppress a weak enemy!

Clang! Frosthowl was forced to defend with his battle axe, but his attack was full of flaws. After just three rounds, he was already horrified.

There is also a gap between high-level rings. Frost Howl is the "first Baturu" among the snow monsters, but the blessing on Ye Zhi is beyond Frost Howl's imagination! Swish! The sword cut off Frost Howl's arm, blood splattered, Frost Howl's heart was cold, he wanted to escape, but he couldn't find a way out! Between life and death, Frost Howl roared loudly, the voice was deafening: "Spare my life!!"

Ye Zhi's eardrums were buzzing, and he thought the snow monster was going to use some powerful move, but he saw him kneeling down and begging for mercy.

"You need a map of the Snow Forest, right? I can give you all the maps of the Frostthroat Tribe and the Snow Forest, and I only ask you to spare my life!"

The environment in the snow forest is harsh, with magical beasts roaming around and traps everywhere. Without the assistance of the spirits of nature, the importance of the map is self-evident.

Ye Zhi narrowed his eyes and said, "I want a map, can you give it to me now?"

"No...but I know the exact number of people in our tribe, as well as the number of extraordinary people..."

Frost Roar kowtowed and dumped out all the information he knew.

Yeats relied on his amazing memory to write it all down and make his own inferences.

Combined with the information that has been ascertained, there are some true and some false in this intelligence. There are several traps that Frosthowl did not clearly state, but he did provide a lot of useful information.

This snow monster's desire to survive is so strong that it is even willing to betray its companions. In the final analysis, it is just a man-eating monster and must be dealt a heavy blow!

Ye Zhi had a cold expression on his face. He sheathed his sword, waved it to dispel the illusion, and said indifferently:

"You go now."

This is actually an illusion! Frost Howl was shocked. Using large-scale illusions to change the environment at will was clearly the specialty of an illusionist!

Illusionists are always weak, but he was able to get close to me and completely crush me... Frosthowl's heart was filled with bitterness, and he had no will to fight. He was just grateful for having saved his life, and turned around trembling.

boom!!

The arcane missile fired by the Snow Owl exploded on Frosthowl's back.

Shuanghou fell to the ground, turned his head in shock and anger, and said: "You..."

Yeats drew his flintlock pistol and sighed:

"No, are you really leaving?"

Bang, bang, bang! Bullets poured out.

To be on the safe side, Ye Zhi asked Snow Owl to throw several arcane missiles, and only nodded in relief after he had finished finishing off the opponent.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

It is now quite easy to kill a four-ring transcendent alone.

Yeats put the pistol in his pocket and nodded secretly.

There is no operation, it is all thanks to my sweat and unremitting efforts that I can be invincible in the same ring! Is Hastings strong? It's just the sixth ring. Wait until I upgrade the Ring of Life and Snow Owl to the sixth ring, and then use the human wave tactics to control him!

"Gu!"

Snow Owl used levitation to pick up Frosthowl's battle axe and handed it to Ye Zhi.

His own snowy owl has its own equipment pickup function and unique magical vision, which allows it to distinguish the value of equipment, so Ye Zhi doesn't have to worry about missing out on good stuff.

Frosthowl's battle axe is called 'Icebreaker'. It is a rare weapon made of ice essence and mithril, and is worth more than two thousand gold coins.

Whitefish Harbor is currently constructing a coastal fortress to guard against pirates.

The research and development of coastal defense artillery required a large amount of gold coins, and the sale of this weapon just happened to alleviate Yeats' urgent needs.

"This guy is a poor guy. He doesn't even have a space bag." Ye Zhi stroked his chin. "But it will be much easier to take down Xuelin after we get rid of him."

late at night.

Yeats brings a blood-stained package to Phocas.

Fokasi opened the package and was slightly stunned. Then his eyes widened with shock. "Master, you killed Frosthowl alone?"

"Use it to dampen the morale of the snow monsters." Ye Zhi said, "The follow-up command of the snow forest battlefield is now in your hands, Fukas."

Yeats also planned to return to Morning Frost Ridge to continue tinkering with his glass canning factory.

He had high hopes for canned food. This groundbreaking invention could even change the landscape of ocean exploration and military logistics, and earning gold coins would be a piece of cake! Fokasi nodded vigorously and said, "I will definitely not let you down!"

In just two days, Phocas led his troops with great momentum and headed straight for the Frostthroat Tribe in the heart of the Snow Forest.

Because Frosthowl was killed by Yezhi, the Frostmaw Tribe was leaderless.

Yeats adopted Rich's strategy and asked him to control a yeti's corpse as an insider, set a fire under the cover of night, and cooperate with the cavalry led by Phocas to destroy the yeti's vitality.

The remaining snow monsters fled in all directions, and Helga led the Manticores to defeat them one by one, and the Battle of Snow Forest seemed to have won a great victory! The frost people who were captured by the snow monsters did not trust Yezhi's troops, who were also human, and how to deal with them was also a problem.

Richie already believed that Yeats was the lord who could help him resurrect Isolde, so he simply stopped pretending and started to bring up all the tough tasks.

He suggested that if the Frost People were unwilling to surrender, they could simply use the plague ray on the Yeti and then throw the Yeti's corpse into the Frost People's base...

Yeats: "That's a good suggestion. Don't suggest it next time."

The Frost People number nearly a thousand people, which is equal to the size of a village, and each of them is a good nomad. Ye Zhi still hopes that they can serve Morning Frost Ridge.

So Ye Zhi met with the leader of the Frost People in person, summoned the snow leopard in front of him, and revealed his identity as the Messenger of Winter.

The old Frostman with gray hair and wearing bear skin suddenly burst into tears. He led his trusted men in the tent to kneel down before Yeats and said that the Frostmen would swear allegiance to Morning Frost Ridge.

To show their loyalty, the Frost Clan leader even proposed sending his daughter to Morning Frost Ridge as a hostage.

This is more of a trust in the Goddess of Winter. In the eyes of this leader, his daughter can benefit a lot from following the God of Winter, and after learning enough, she may even be able to lead the Frost People.

Her daughter's name was Hogus, and Yeats actually had some impression of her.

She is the descendant of the Frost People in the plot, with flowing silver hair, a large bow forged from ice, and a huge frost wolf.

In the plot, Hogus performed outstandingly in the battle of the Golden Lion humans against the orcs, but I didn't expect to meet her here.

Compared with the silver-haired queen she would become later, Hogus at this time was just a little white-haired loli chewing her fingers, and her mount, the frost wolf, was the size of a small dog.

Yeats accepted the Frost People's loyalty, but did not agree to let Hogus follow him.

What if a good Hero-level SR card is disabled? Ye Zhi persuaded the leader of the Frost People and said that he was willing to teach his daughter knowledge for free, but the Frost People were better at archery and wolf taming.

These words touched the heart of the Frost People leader, making his eyes more enthusiastic.

The Frost Folk have one great advantage: tamed wolves.

A tamed Frostwolf would make an excellent mount and also provide a basis for establishing a new type of soldier in Dawnfrost Ridge.

After the Battle of Snow Forest, not only were the hidden dangers of building a new seaport eliminated, but a vein of ice essence and a small amount of mithril ore associated with it were obtained, and the loyalty of the Frost People was gained.

But how to manage the snow forest still needs the approval of the spirits of nature.

Yeats sent Phokas to search for the whereabouts of the spirit of nature in the snowy forest. At the same time, he wrote a letter to Lena, saying that he had a new business and sent her the canned samples together.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

Under the cover of night, a snowy owl flew into the brightly lit tent.

After a while, the dwarf guarding the tent yawned, and suddenly heard hearty laughter coming from the tent.

"Baron Yeats is truly a genius!"

Although the Kingdom of the Golden Lion does not have a patent law, it does have a "patent charter", which was originally used to grant monopoly rights and later became a tool to protect technological innovation.

In Lena's opinion, the canned food invented by Baron Yeats and the food preservation method behind it have great commercial potential and can generate huge profits in the ten years when the "charter" is in effect!

The Starlight Chamber of Commerce cannot handle this deal alone. It requires cooperation between the Adventurer Chamber of Commerce and the White Whale Chamber of Commerce.

Lena was already looking forward to Anthony and the owner of the White Whale Chamber of Commerce's surprised reactions when they saw the cans.

Even the name of Baron Yeats will continue to spread with the popularity of canned food in the ocean-going fleet! Morning Frost Ridge, Sword Winter Castle.

In the study, Yeats asked Grey about patent law. Grey scratched her head and said, "I don't quite understand what a patent is, but the Kingdom of Golden Lion has a code called the Monopoly Law, which is used to protect inventions... Do you want me to recite it to you?"

Ye Zhi smiled and said, "It's enough for me to know that there is such a law. By the way, can you recite this kind of law?"

"Of course!" Gray said proudly, puffing out her chest. "I've worked really hard on this!"

Ye Zhi smiled and said, "When will your elder come to pick you up?"

"It happened in the past two days, and she didn't tell me the specific date... Oh, by the way, did I tell you about it?" Gray said seriously.

Ye Zhi was stunned: "What did you say?"

"The third elder is a green dragon with a very bad temper. You'd better not make her angry..." Gray glanced at Ye Zhi angrily.

"Green Dragon." Ye Zhi stroked his chin and said, "When she comes to Morning Frost Ridge, should I treat her to a meal?"

"What to eat?" Gray asked in a daze.

Ye Zhi held up a finger and said, "There is a specialty in the Snow Forest called ice silkworms. They are plump and white, and icy cold. Whether they are made into sashimi or braised, they taste delicious!"

Gray's expression suddenly became very strange, and she turned blue as if she was about to vomit, "Ice silkworm... sashimi?!"

"Don't worry, I will make the ice silkworms delicious and treat you and the third elder to a meal!" Ye Zhi said seriously.

Gray's face changed and he said, "I won't eat it!!"
