Otherworld Management Manual

On the Senro River in the west of Hongye City.

On a 30-meter-long ship, the bridge was the cab, and three men dressed as businessmen surrounded the stove, breathing heavily.

"This ghost weather, the snow is falling earlier every year!"

A big man with a beard took a mouthful of steaming low-quality dark beer and said cursingly.

"Hey, I just hope we can hurry up, or we won't be able to go if the river freezes."

Another tall and thin businessman spoke helplessly.

"If I knew earlier, I wouldn't take this business trip. It's still difficult to walk so far away. It's impossible to walk by water, and I have to go farther by land."

The last squinting businessman with a relatively fat body seemed to have some regrets in his tone.

"Who made this trip so many!"

The bearded man handed the dark beer to the fat, squinting businessman, who took it and took a sip.

"Cool!"

More guests means more gold coins, and no one will have trouble living with gold coins.

They complained about it, but if they were asked to choose again, they would still choose it.

The business of these few people is a bit special. They belong to the transportation industry, but they are not transporting ore or grain, but people, which are somewhat similar to modern long-distance buses.

"Lauri, you go to the cabin and don't freeze our guests because of the snow! Also check the stove to make sure it's safe."

The fat squinting businessman said.

"Okay, Shelly."

The tall and thin businessman got up and got into the cabin.

"Pol, you go out and see our ship, don't let anything go wrong, and check if there are any traces of horse thieves. Although they probably won't come out in this weather, we still have to be careful."

The squinting businessman named Shelly ordered again, showing that he was the boss of the ship.

"good!"

The bearded man, also known as Bol, got up, put on a gray robe, and opened the hatch.

A gust of cold wind wafted in with snowflakes, and Shelly shivered.

"Hey! Bol, hurry up!"

Boll at the cabin door laughed and scolded:

"Xie Li, you can't stand your physique, you can't stand the cold wind...Ah!"

"..."

Inside the cabin of the big ship, it looks much more refined than the outside.

There are oil lamps, there are carpets, but it is also a bit cold.

In the hall, several small stoves were burning vigorously, and some people gathered by the stove in twos and threes to keep warm.

"Abe, do you think we will be scolded when we go back now?"

Beside the stove, a figure with his whole body wrapped tightly, only showing a pair of big eyes, turned his head to look at the person next to him, and said. Her voice was very clear, and it could be heard that it was a young girl.

Sitting next to her was a thin woman. She was wearing tight clothes, her face was covered, and only one pair of eyes was exposed.

"meeting."

"Oh, so annoying!"

"and……"

Abe hesitated.

"Huh? And what?"

The young girl had a bad feeling.

"And we can't go back now. It's snowing, the temperature is very low, and the river surface may freeze. So, if it goes well, we can get home in a month. If it doesn't go well..."

Abe's voice was cold.

"...my mother will kill me!"

The girl frowned, panic in her eyes.

"You should have expected it when you sneaked out."

Abe's voice still had no emotion, but her words were like a knife, piercing the girl's heart.

"It's so annoying! I feel like I'll never be able to come out again!"

The girl looked unhappy.

"I also feel that way."

Abe made another cut.

"..."

"You two, allow me to check the stove."

The tall and thin businessman Laurie appeared in front of the two and said politely.

"OK."

The girl got up, and Abe got up too.

Laurie checked, and after making sure that the stove was burning steadily, said again:

"If the two guests find that the fire is getting smaller or bigger, please let me know in time."

"OK, all right."

The girl nodded, but the masked woman did not speak.

"By the way, may I ask, where are we now? Or which city is closer?"

Seeing that Laurie was about to leave, the girl asked quickly.

Laurie frowned, and then said somewhat tangled:

"I'm not very sure, we are in the northernmost part of Buck Kingdom, you know it. There are usually very few people here, and the map is from many years ago, and it is not very comprehensive. I can only be sure that we have left. It's halfway there, and as for being close to that city..."

Laurie shrugged again.

"I'm not sure about this. The city of Nosa that we passed through yesterday is already in ruins. I'm not sure if the next city will be like this."

Listening to Laurie's words, the girl understood that he was right.

Yesterday, they were planning to rest in Nosa City and then set off again. As a result, Nosa City had long since become ruins. Not only Nosa City, but also a complete city on the way.

Either small villages or ruins.

It was only then that the girl knew that the northernmost part of the Buck Kingdom turned out to be so barren.

"If we look at this old map from a few decades ago, our next stop is a place called... Hongye City? Yes, it is a place called Hongye City. The map is blurred, and I can't see it clearly."

Laurie shook the map he took out of his arms, the yellowed parchment, as if it might rot at any moment.

"Okay, thank you."

"It's my honor to be able to help you!"

Laurie nodded and left.

The girl sat down again, but she no longer had the desire to speak, her green eyes were full of helplessness.

"I hope this red leaf city is still there. I eat these black bread every day, and I feel like vomiting!"

"I think the question you need to consider now is how can you get less beatings after you go back."

Abe's tone was still very cold, but still very heart-wrenching.

"Wuwu, Abe, you have to say something nice for me!"

The girl hugged Abe directly.

There was some helplessness in Abe's eyes.

"Okay, but there's a high probability that it won't work, and even I will be punished."

"Ah? Then don't talk, let my mother beat me!"

Abe shook his head speechlessly.

on the deck.

Bearded Big Hamper opened the bridge door and walked in.

As soon as he stomped, a snow fell from him.

"It's snowing so much?"

Shelly, the fat businessman who was warming up by the fire, was taken aback.

It was still snowing when Bol went out, but now it's snowing heavily?

"is not it!"

Paul was speechless.

"At present, there should be no thieves on the road. We don't need to worry. The main problem now is the heavy snow. I estimate that according to such heavy snow, the river surface may be frozen tonight at the latest. The boat can't go!"

Shelly's face was ugly at Bol's words.

They are already very fast. If you give him another three days, someone will pick him up at the pier. At that time, you can choose whether to go by water or by land.

He doesn't want to go overland, but that doesn't mean he wants to be trapped on the river. Now that he can't go to the village or the store, if it really runs aground, I'm afraid he will die!

"Hurry up and open the map to see if there are any cities nearby. Let's see if we can take shelter for a while, and then leave when the snow is small."

"The map is on Laurie!"

No sooner had Bol finished speaking than Laurie opened the hatch and entered.

"Lauri, is there any city recently? The snow is too heavy and the temperature is too low. The river surface may freeze. If we don't find a city, we will most likely be stranded!"

Shelly's tone was a little anxious.

Laurie's face was also a little ugly when he heard it.

They are all people who often run outside and are very experienced. If the river is frozen, it will definitely freeze.

"Currently on the map, there is only one place called Hongye City that is close to us, and it's not too far away."

"Very good!"

Shelly didn't think there really was a city.

"However, Hongye City is to the northeast of us now, that is to say, if we go to Hongye City, we need to take another road ahead."

"Ah? This..."

Shirley was a little stunned. They were now far north of Buck Kingdom, and their destination was the southeast.

And this red leaf city is in the northeast, which can be called the northernmost city in the Buck Kingdom!

Most importantly, they had to branch out.

If it’s fine in normal times, but the road is blocked, it’s a big deal to come back, but if it’s over now, it’s very likely that you won’t be able to come back because the water surface freezes!

"There's another question, I'm not sure if Hongye City is still there!"

Shelly was completely speechless, and he said helplessly:

"It seems that this gold coin is really not easy to get!"

"Sherry, what should we do, should we follow the original plan or turn to this Red Leaf City?"

Bol asked, and he was a little out of his mind at this point, too.

If this is really stranded on a snowy day, it may really be life-threatening.

If he was asked to duel with a horse thief, he might not even blink an eye, but if he was stranded in the wild, especially with this growing snow, he would be a little timid.

"Let's go and ask the guests' opinions, it may be a matter of life and death after all!"

"good!"

"That's the only way to do it!"

...

Inside the Red Leaf Castle.

Zhang Feng was wearing a single shirt, half lying on the fluffy blanket.

This heating is really a bit strong, and it is no different from the modern one.

"Zhang Feng, what flavor do you want to drink?"

In front of a hand-cranked juicer, Hu Erniang looked at the various fruits on display, and she couldn't make up her mind.

"random."

Hearing the casualness in Zhang Feng's tone, Hu Erniang was not only not angry, but very happy.

"Grapes, watermelons, oranges..."

All kinds of fruits were poured into it.

Fox Erniang grabbed the handle and shook it frantically.

Then.

boom!

The juicer is broken.

"Zhang Xiaotang?"

Zhang Feng has a black line.

"Can you be gentle next time, it can't stand your toss."

"Well, okay okay!"

Hu Erniang put her hands behind her and looked very obedient.

"I can't count on you!"

Zhang Feng looked at the wolf-eared girl who was quietly peeling apples.

"Amy, I want an apple."

"OK."

The wolf-eared lady cut the peeled apple into pieces, brought it over, and fed it to Zhang Feng herself.

"Well, it's delicious. Amy's cut is better than my own!"

Hearing Zhang Feng's words, Amy's eyes suddenly bent, and the wolf's tail under her maid's skirt swayed uncontrollably.

"However, having said that, when did this horse thief come!"

Zhang Feng put a lot of effort into preventing these horse thieves~www.wuxiahere.com~ He built a city wall, recruited orcs, and prepared weapons and equipment, but until now there is no sign of the horse thieves.

"Lord Zhang Feng, it seems that a stranger is coming to our Hongye City."

Caroline suddenly pushed the door in.

"Ah? Is it a horse thief?"

Hearing the surprise in Zhang Feng's mouth, Caroline felt helpless, she said:

"It shouldn't be, it came from the waterway, it can't be a horse thief, and Mr. Zhang Feng, in this weather, with such a heavy snow, even if the horse thief comes, it is impossible to trouble us!"

"Well, since it's not a horse thief, then I don't care, you can do it yourself."

"Yes."
