Chapter 993: Chapter 993 Ice Queen 4

The three soon-to-be-travelers were ready to depart.

After all, they had to work together, so before leaving, teacher Chang politely offered a self-introduction.

The bearded man and the man with crew cut responded in kind, one was named Brian, the other Ed.

The person left in the castle to watch the luggage was called Eric.

Teacher Chang took out a bundle of rope and handed it to Brian and Ed, "The snowstorm outside is severe; if we tie the rope around our waists, we won’t get separated."

Brian and Ed glanced at each other and took the rope into their hands.

"... This is a good idea."

"Yeah, it’s quite good."

After a few half-hearted words, they looked at Teacher Chang and asked, "Shall we set off, then?"

"Mhmm, let’s go." Chang Weicai put on the hood of his down jacket and zipped it up, fully armored from head to toe, "Don’t worry about me, even though I’m a bit old, I will try my best to keep up with you!"

The man with crew cut twisted his mouth and kept silent, thinking: No one is worried about you.

Brian was natural and casual, asking offhandedly, "How old are you? You seem to be in good shape."

Chang Weicai smiled, "There’s an old saying, ’a man far in age has plowed the fields under the rising sun, and grown millet under the crow of roosters. At sixty years, my fingers weave a string of jiazi beads, looping them over and over like playing with pearls.’"

Brian: "..."

Ed: "..."

Realizing the two did not understand, Chang Weicai quickly explained, "You are foreigners, probably don’t understand ancient poetry, no worries, this isn’t hard to understand. In our country, we have a cycle of sixty years called a ’jiazi’, so when someone turns sixty, we have a poetic term ’hua jia’ to denote it, meaning..."

"Hey! Old man, can we not have a lesson right now?!" Ed said, impatiently.

Brian touched Ed lightly with his arm and said with a light smile, "We’re really pressed for time. That woman will come back to check on the seeds any moment now. Teacher Chang, let’s hurry on."

Chang Weicai eagerly nodded, "Right, right, let’s not waste time, let’s set out now."

The three shouldered their backpacks and opened the castle’s great door.

The piercing wind rushed in instantly! A flurry of snowflakes smacked against their faces, causing Ed to curse immediately!

So cold!

Without any means of transport, they had to walk out of this frozen sea area against the snowstorm to find supplies in the city streets.

Thinking of the journey ahead, everyone felt apprehensive, and even the spiteful Ed refrained from harboring ill thoughts, only hoping for a smooth journey.

The icy sea was a vast expanse of white; they proceeded in the direction they had observed from high in the castle, and it wasn’t long before they were thoroughly chilled!

Ed started to have second thoughts, walking slower and slower in the storm.

"Brian, maybe... maybe we should go back to the castle?" he shivered as he spoke, "If we keep going like this, we’ll freeze to death..."

Brian was suffering too, but he was reluctant to turn back, "We’ve searched everywhere in the castle, and except for ice, we found nothing! Do you think going back will prevent us from freezing to death?!"

Chang Weicai had been trailing behind, but as Brian and Ed slowed down, he moved ahead.

He encouraged the two, "Don’t give up! There must be a way, the game wouldn’t leave us with no solution. Hey... have you noticed? The snowstorm seems to have eased a bit, hasn’t it?"

"I say, old man, can you not treat us like three-year-old kids?" Ed was really annoyed by his pedantic attitude, buzzing around incessantly.

Yet, Brian paused, observing the dancing snowflakes, "It seems... the storm has actually died down."

"Ah?" Ed was stunned for a moment, looking up at the sky.

"I get it now." Brian realized, "The farther we get from that castle, the lighter the snowstorm! Quick, let’s go a bit further and try!"
