Chapter 45: Little sunflower mother class 15
The second day has just passed, and the progress of perfume preparation has advanced a lot.
Lin Mutao decided to meet the queen to report on the progress, and by the way asked about the location of the little oriole.
The queen raised her eyebrows with interest when she heard that Lin Mutao had found two-thirds of the perfume raw materials. Although she didn't have too many expressions, Lin Mutao still saw that the Queen was very happy.
Lin Mutao took the black tea cup on the table to the queen with both hands, and said: "Your Majesty, I only need the last raw material, as long as I find it, I can prepare a spring-like flavor. perfume. And ask the Queen to help me."
.
"Singing little oriole."
The teacup in the Queen's hand smashed to the ground, making a muffled sound on the floor covered with woolen carpet. Dark red fluid snaked between tufts of long white hairs.
Lin Mutao raised her head in confusion, not understanding why the queen's reaction was so big. No—there is no little oriole in this damned copy, right?
Fortunately, the queen didn't say "no", the queen just said: "I remember in the kingdom of winter, there is only a little oriole that can sing. Maybe you should ask the wizard grown ups."
Following the direction pointed out by the queen, Lin Mutao came to the topmost floor of the castle, which is the dark attic. The air was filled with the smell of dust and tattered book pages. It was not unpleasant, but it smelled like an old man, which made Lin Mutao even more curious about the respectable wizard in the Queen's mouth.
Lin Mutao stood in front of the heavy copper door and pulled the bronze door knocker.
"Come on here! Who is it?" A voice came from the house, from far to near, someone came to open the door.
The door was pulled open a crack, and a messy head stuck out. Is an elderly man.
What is striking is that his gray hair and eyebrows are all tousled, as if they hadn't been taken care of in decades.
Seeing a little girl standing at the door, the old man asked unexpectedly, "What's the matter with you?"
The kind tone immediately dispelled Lin Mutao's concerns, she said: "Hello, Lord Wizard, I am the makeup artist of Her Royal Highness. My name is Taojun, and I am currently preparing a spring The scent of perfume, I came to you to ask you about the last raw material of perfume."
"Huh? Come in."
Lin Mutao followed behind the wizard and entered the attic.
She found that the light in the attic was dim, there was no fireplace, it was as cold as a big ice cellar, and she rubbed her hands unconsciously. The wizard was only wearing a black robe, but he obviously couldn't feel the cold.
Lin Mutao sat on the wooden chair somewhat restrained. For some reason, although the wizard opposite was a kind old man, it made her feel inexplicably stressed.
The wizard handed her a cup of hot coffee and asked, "Little girl, what materials are you looking for?"
Lin Mutao took the coffee and held it in her arms to warm her hands, "Little Oriole who can sing."
The wizard was shocked, and the messy beard shook three times, "Are you short of this material?"
Lin Mutao nodded and continued: "I heard Her Royal Highness say that there is only a singing little oriole in the kingdom, and only you know where it is."
Wizard: "Little Oriole is 6000 meters high on the highest mountain in the Winter Kingdom - the Alps Snow Mountain. So far, no one has ever climbed the top of the mountain. Because it is too dangerous, in this way Under the environment, you may be frozen to the ground at any time and become a large ice block frozen for a hundred years."
Lin Mutao put down the coffee cup in her hand and said, "Thank you, Master Wizard for letting me know. I will be ready to look for it again."
The old man was very puzzled, and he asked a little confused: "It's so dangerous, you still have to look for it? If you are afraid that you will be punished by the queen for not being able to mix perfume, I can help you plead."
Lin Mutao pursed her lips and smiled: "Thank you for your kindness, but I still hope to create a perfume that smells of spring." It doesn't matter because of the Queen and the Winter Kingdom, but more because This is the obligatory task given to her by the copy.
Seeing Lin Mutao's figure walking out firmly, the wizard sighed. Nestled on the small sofa, he raised his head and glanced out the window.
It's snowing.
******
Although Lin Mutao didn't say anything about climbing the snow mountain, it didn't mean she wasn't afraid. The Winter Kingdom is always cold all year round, and the temperature on the snow-capped mountains will only get colder, tens of degrees below zero is certain. Coupled with the 6000-meter altitude of the Alpine snow-capped mountains, it will also face the danger of hypoxia.
Although the dungeon world will not give unsolvable problems, Lin Mutao, as an amateur mountaineering, still dare not joke about her life easily.
So, she informed the Queen immediately and hoped that Her Royal Highness would provide her with help. Not only are the necessary supplies such as thermal clothing, mountaineering clothing, and oxygen tanks, but also training for snow mountain climbing. There are still eight days before the deadline for handing over the perfume, oh no, seven and a half days, Lin Mutao made a rough plan for these seven and a half days.
The first four and a half days are used for training, the next two days are used to travel to and from the snowy mountains, and the last day is used to make perfume.
And Her Majesty the Queen is also very powerful. After receiving Lin Mutao's request, she quickly found a snow mountain climbing expert for her in the kingdom. The master is really powerful, and the short-term training customized for her is very intense.
For four and a half days, Lin Mutao was training almost every day, and even when she was eating, she wore thick warm clothes and mountaineering clothes to eat dry food. She must adapt to this kind of life as soon as possible in order to ensure the success of the final mountain climb.
I was so tired. When I came back to the bedroom from training every day, Lin Mutao felt like her bones were falling apart, and she didn't want to say a single extra sentence. Lin Mutao greeted in her heart every day, the person in charge of the live broadcast center.
As for the sleepy treasure, Lin Mutao was worried about letting her stay in the room alone every day, so she still asked Li Shuangshuang to take care of her.
However, the four and a half days of hard training was still useful. Lin Mutao was still uncomfortable on the first day. On the last day, she could clearly feel her physical strength, endurance and heart and lungs. There has been a qualitative leap in ability.
The master who trained her to climb the mountain looked at her with some pity and said: "You have indeed made great progress and are very talented. If you are lucky, you may be able to successfully descend from the Alps."
Lin Mutao: "..." Thank you so much.
The day of climbing the Alps to look for the little oriole finally arrived.
Her Royal Highness also sent five guards, of course, robots. Although it is to reduce the mortality rate of the Winter Kingdom, the Queen euphemistically claims that robots are better than real people.
Lin Mutao felt that she was right. After all, a real person would stab in the back, and a robot could rest assured.
In the queen's luxurious carriage, Lin Mutao finally came to the bottom of the Alps. She raised her head and saw white, only white, with no head in sight.
Lin Mutao pulled down the goggles on her forehead, held the climbing rope and crampons, and began to climb up little by little. Five robots followed behind her with oxygen tanks on their backs. Fortunately, there is a robot, so Lin Mutao's load is not so heavy.
The icy wind blew through and blew into Lin Mutao's nose, tingling. Even though she had put on thick thermal clothing and mountaineering clothes, wrapped like a ball, she still couldn't completely avoid the cold.
I don't know how long it took to climb before Lin Mutao stopped, feeling that her breathing was not smooth. Sure enough, no matter how well you train, you will still be a little uncomfortable in the face of the real environment. She could feel that her body was constantly becoming dehydrated in the form of droplets of water exhaled from her breath.
She held the crampons tightly with one hand to prevent herself from slipping away, and raised the other hand with difficulty, watching the barrage on the light screen.

[…]
Lin Mutao tugged at the corners of her lips that had been frozen and cracked, wanting to say thank you, but in order to avoid wasting her energy, she still didn't say it.
She looked at the robot beside her and asked, "What's the altitude now?"
The robot's emotionless voice sounded, "It has detected an altitude of 3159 meters, a temperature of -19 degrees Celsius, and a wind speed of 12.9m/s. It is detected that the oxygen content in the air is extremely low, do you need to use an oxygen tank? ?"
It was just over halfway through the climb... Lin Mutao drank some water, recovered her energy, and finally decided to use an oxygen tank in order to reach the top of the mountain faster. One oxygen tank can be used for about a few hours, and this time she brought four oxygen tanks, which should be able to support.
She gritted her teeth and continued to climb.
Crawling for a while, then slowing down for a while, did Lin Mutao suddenly hear a loud noise from the robot beside her? She turned her head and saw that the red light on the robot's head kept flashing, "Warning! A rapid increase in wind speed has been detected, which is about to reach 56 kilometers per hour! A snowstorm is about to form! Pay attention!"
Blizzard! Lin Mutao was startled. She heard from the master who taught her to climb mountains that when the wind speed reaches 56 kilometers per hour, the temperature drops below -5°C, and there is a lot of snow, a blizzard will occur. And the snow will cover the sky, and the visibility will be less than 1 meter. At this time, it will be very dangerous to travel rashly!
Fortunately, blizzards usually last only a few hours, and she now needs to find a place to hide as soon as possible!
Lin Mutao added a few carabiner around her waist, tightly holding the ice axe that supported her, and looked around. The field of vision was all white, and there was no suitable stable rock to hide from.
In this case - you can only dig a snow hole. This is a must-have skill for climbing snow-capped mountains. Snow caves are well dug, which is warmer and more comfortable than tents.
Lin Mutao closed her eyes slightly, feeling the wind direction, the cold wind howled. Fortunately, the side she is climbing on is the windward slope, otherwise the snow cave is dug on the leeward **** and could easily become part of the avalanche.
According to what the expert said, Lin Mutao found a suitable place with thick enough snow and started digging. Dig an entrance that can climb through, about one meter, and this is the passage for her to enter and exit the snow cave.
Then dig up the main room, because according to what the robot said, the blizzard will happen soon, so Lin Mutao doesn't care how well he digs, as long as he can hide her and the robot. . Lin Mutao's face was red from the cold. Her thick-gloved hands tightly hugged the ice axe, digging a snow cave. The snow dug was piled up at the entrance, and the robot outside the cave cleaned it out.
"It's digging!" Lin Mutao used an ice axe to take out a small ventilation hole on the outer wall of the dug snow hole, just about to call the robot outside. I heard the alarm bells ringing outside, "Warning! The blizzard is coming!"
"Come in!" Lin Mutao immediately stretched out her hand and pulled the robots outside the cave in. The howling cold wind blew the lighter robots loose and floated in the air on.
Lin Mutao held on, pulling the robots in one by one. But it was still too late... She watched helplessly as one of the robots was swept into the wind and snow, and then drifted away...
The swept away robot was carrying an oxygen tank!
But now the blizzard has formed, and the wind is too strong, it is impossible for her to go out to find that robot!
Lin Mutao gritted her teeth and blocked the mountaineering bag at the entrance.
In the snow cave, it was finally quiet.
