"You are here just right for John, I've beaten you with your sword."

Ragner said as he put down his work, turned around and entered the forge, and handed him a leather-written big sword, which was four feet long, with a blade at the front, a cross-shaped thigh, and a counterweight ball at the tail of the sword. If he encountered a heavy armored enemy, he could turn the two-handed sword backwards and use it as a hammer.

Just looking at the shape of this weapon, you can feel its terrifying lethality.

Sean took the sword and couldn't let it go. The handle needed a little processing, and there was no flaw in addition. He waved a while in the open space, and the blade brought a stream of air, whizzing through the air.

Ragner was surprised to see it: "You really know how to use a sword with both hands, and it's not bad!"

Sean smiled "humble" and said, "That's not, your craftsmanship is also good, how much does it cost?"

Ragner waved his hand, "Forget the money, wait until I come back from winter hunting, you can just spend a few more tricks with me."

"Ah, I'm about to tell you about this matter. I'll count you as a member of the winter hunting this time."

When Ragner heard this, he became interested, "Oh, you finally decided to join. What changed your mind? Don't tell me that you are your old job as a fur merchant."

Sean smiled. He felt that he could be more honest with Ragner. After being together for so long, the two of them were friends.

"Haha, you can see it. Actually, I am a writer. I came to Nordfordsen mainly to collect folklore, explore ancient legends, feel the unique beauty in the wild forests and snow fields, and find some inspiration for my new book.

But I think I can't get anything interesting when I stay in this town, so I want to go with you further north, in the desolate and cold fields, in the forest where wild beasts appear, and on the mountains where the gods live, I must see a more exciting scene."

Writer!? Ragner looked up and down at Sean, "I have to say, I almost believed it. Forget it, if you don't want to say it, just pull it off. Anyway, I don't mind bringing one more person, but it's probably a bit tight to join now. After the second snowfall, we will set off. According to previous experiences, there are at most ten days, so you have to hurry up and prepare."

Sean nodded, "What preparations do you need to do?"

"There are so many things to prepare. The most difficult thing in winter hunting is not just hunting, but more importantly, it is to survive in the cold north. Believe me, it is not an easy thing. Many novices are left disabled and even die there because of insufficient preparation.

First of all, you need to purchase supplies and a large amount of supplies. I can give you a list.

Then there are dogs and sleds. There is no way to ride horses in the forests and snow fields in the north, and walking is even more unrealistic. You can only rely on dogs to pull sleds. You need at least eight sled dogs. If there are more, and a sled to transport supplies.

Dogs can’t be used just by buying them. You have to train them and work with them for a while. Although it is not too difficult to stand on a sled, it also requires learning, and these all take time.

In addition, you also need warm clothes. Of course you already have this. Finally, there is one more thing - you come to my house tonight and I will tell you and take you to meet other people."

Sean nodded, "Okay, then we'll see you tonight."

He got the list of supplies from Ragna and looked at it and found that there was a lot of them. However, he had money, and it was nothing if he could solve it with courage.

Before purchasing supplies, Sean came to Xiong's hometown. The bear-skin coat was already made. Sean took the big furry ball of fur from Xiong's hands and put it on without saying a word. The bear-skin coat was one-piece and just put it on his body. Since it was made of the whole bear-skin and was quite generous, he wrapped it in.

As soon as Shaun put on this bear skin, he immediately isolated the cold around him, and his whole body was extremely warm in thick fur.

He walked around the yard and felt no cold at all, but he felt a little funny. The way he walked around inevitably made Sean ring out the doll suit in Disneyland.

Fortunately, some key parts of the clothes have been tightened, which is relatively not that bulky.

In order to prevent people from being shot by mistake, Mr. Xiong thoughtfully prepared a larger-sized red coat for him, which was put on the outside of the coat for easy identification.

After saying goodbye to Mr. Xiong, Sean then came to the grocery store.

He wasn't sure where to buy the sled, so he came here to try his luck.

The clerk recognized him. He bought a lot of things in the grocery store during this period, and he was considered an old customer.

"Do you have sleds here?"

"Of course, do you want a single board or a double board?"

Sean was speechless, "What I want is a dog sled, the kind that can carry people and cargo."

"Ah, this is gone. You can go to the woodworking workshop in the town."

Sean shrugged, "Then buy groceries first."

He bought it directly according to the requirements on the order.

Thirty meters of cable, two bundles of thin hemp rope, a bundle of thick hemp rope, tent, kerosene, hand axe, nails, bandages for bandages, ammunition for hunting rifles, dried mushrooms, salt... all kinds of buying a lot, and he had to hire a friend to help him deliver it to the carriage.

These things cost him five gold pounds in total.

Next is to buy a dog, just look for Milok. Milok specializes in training dogs for people, including not only hunting dogs, but also sled dogs.

"You are looking for the right person for me." Milok immediately introduced him enthusiastically when he heard that Sean was going to participate in winter hunting.

"Sled dogs do not have that high requirements for dog breeds. As long as they are obedient and have good physical strength, they are the most important thing during winter hunting activities.

Sled dogs are not only the main force of transportation, but can also be used for vigil at night. Without a bear-skin coat, it is also great to hold the group warmth. When encountering large beasts, you can also play a guest appearance as a hunting dog. If necessary, it can also be used as emergency food. Of course, this kind of thing is very rare. Generally, when you need to kill a dog, you must have run out of ammunition and food. When it reaches that level, people can eat it, but it is not just a dog."

"So I suggest you buy two more. There are too many things in the forests in the north that we cannot understand. Sometimes wild animals will come to take away sled dogs in the middle of the night. Those beasts that are acting in the dark are elusive. You can't even hear their screams. Maybe when you wake up, you will only have a pool of blood and a few tufts of dog hair."
