emsp;emsp;Unlike the Grand Line, the climate of the Great Route has always been unpredictable.
emsp;emsp; One moment it's sunny and bright, and the next second it could be thundering and lightning.
In just a few days of sailing, Vito and his companions onboard this merchant ship experienced almost every extreme weather condition: thunderstorms, blizzards, hailstorms, and dense fog.
Fortunately, we didn't encounter any pirates or large ocean storms along the way, so the merchant ship can be considered safe and sound. It only took less than a week to successfully arrive in the waters where Er Island is located.
emsp;emsp;The sky is filled with snowflakes floating down, hoarfrost covering everything, and a bitter cold front sweeping through.
emsp;emsp;"Ah... Ah... Choo!"
emsp;emsp;Just as Hake stepped out of the cabin, the biting cold wind blew in his face, causing him to shiver uncontrollably.
emsp;amp;He rubbed his freezing red nose and looked into the distance at the icy island that was almost entirely covered in gleaming white snow. His face turned slightly pale.
emsp;emsp;“厄尔岛是座典型的冬岛，温度常年保持在零度以下，一年三百六十五天，起码有两百天都在下雪。”
emsp;From behind came Vittorio's mild voice, "It seems that Colonel Sir did not do his homework before coming here to buy officials. But with your overweight figure, weighing over 300 catties, what worry do you have about keeping warm? It should be us, with our slender bodies, who should be afraid of this climate."
emsp;emsp;"Yes... I... I haven't looked into it."
emsp;emsp;Haik's face turned red. He had been involved in administrative work at the headquarters for many years, and indeed, his physique had deteriorated significantly. When he was still a teenager, he never feared the cold like he does now.
emsp;emsp;他俩的声音都压得极低，走在最前面的那名瘦高领队，根本听不到这尊卑颠倒的对话。
emsp;emsp;等到引着众人登上港口，走出码头后，这名叫斯威特的领队就热情地开始向这一帮外来的“海军军官”，介绍起自己家乡的情况。
emsp;emsp;其实在来这里之前，维托就已经提前查阅了不少厄尔岛的相关资料，但终归不如本地人知晓的详细通透，所以这时候依旧听得颇为认真。
emsp;emsp;On the other hand, Haik felt a bit impatient being frozen in the ice and snow. He shivered all the way and just wanted to arrive at the warm base as soon as possible.
emsp;emsp;According to Swite's narration.
emsp;Er Island is not only a distinct winter island but also located in a remote area, at the southeasternmost end of the Grand Line, close to the Calm Belt. It is not on any route that leads to the New World, with the closest islands being thousands of kilometers away. It can be aptly described as a solitary island amidst blizzards.
emsp;emsp;The geographical location brings both advantages and disadvantages.
emsp;emsp;Being located outside the main shipping routes means that the island is less frequently targeted by high-profile bounty-seeking pirates. As a result, the local population does not need to worry excessively about their lives and property being threatened, allowing for relatively stable social order to be maintained in the long run.
But at the same time, the overly closed environment also causes a single industry on the island, with long trade routes bringing long and unstable return cycles. Ordinary traders crossing the islands are almost nonexistent, only the elite at the top of the pyramid are qualified to bear these gains and losses.
emsp;Over time, wealth gradually accumulates in the hands of a few, and the wealth gap on the island becomes larger and larger. The channels of circulation between the social classes are completely cut off, to the extent that even compared globally, it ranks among the top extremes. Translated:
Sure.
emsp;emsp;这些信息很多都是维托从自己掌握的资料，与斯威特的话里推敲总结出来的，后者毕竟只是一个小领队，虽然介绍起来兴致勃勃，但涉及到这方面的话题却不敢谈的太过深入，更多的叙述内容，还是集中在自己的家乡风貌上。
ems; Three hundred and fifty thousand.
ems; This is the approximate population given by Svet on the island. In an era without official census surveys, it is quite difficult to be accurate to the ten thousandth place. According to Svet's description, over eighty percent of this population of three hundred and fifty thousand people is concentrated in the central city of El.
emsp;emsp;剩余的人，则零零散散地聚居在海边的几个小村镇中，主要以渔业为生，但难以自给自足，每隔一段时间都需要进城采买日常所需。
emsp;emsp;78支部基地，便位于厄尔城的东部街区之中，那是富人阶级才有资格入驻的核心街区，与贫民窟扎堆的西部街区仅仅相隔一条大街，但两边居民的生活质量相比起来，却仿佛两个世界。
emm;emm; Vito listened silently, thinking quietly in his mind about the possible problems he might encounter after settling in Ercity.
emm;emm; Ahead, Haik's eyes lit up, feeling even more excited about his upcoming assignment in the branch base. After all, it was located in the affluent district, so the conditions at the base shouldn't be too bad, no matter what.
emsp;emsp;With a warm fireplace, spacious and bright floor-to-ceiling windows, and elegant and luxurious decorations...
emsp;emsp;In almost an instant, Haik imagined his ideal office environment. His dream was within reach, making it unbearable for him to continue enduring this feeling of trekking through the icy terrain, both physically and mentally.
Thanks to that, he no longer has to suffer.
After all, as the soon-to-be highest-ranking naval officer, the Hansen family couldn't possibly let Sweet rely solely on his own two legs to take him and Hake to the city of Ercin, which is more than ten kilometers away.
emsp;Just out of the port area, not long after, I saw three carriages parked in front of the road. Swift turned around and politely invited everyone to get on the carriage. Obviously, the Hansen family had been waiting here.
emsp;emsp;不过一时没人急着上车，此刻不论是海克，还是维托等人，都下意识地停住了步伐，将目光聚集在了这一列马车上。
emsp;emsp;车厢本身没什么特殊的，但拉着这些车的却并不是马，而是数头外表与狮子长得颇为相似，但通体绒毛雪白晶莹，体型也更大一些的奇特生物。
emsp;emsp;它们微微垂着头，环绕着脖颈的鬃毛遮挡住了半边脸庞，身上油光发亮，似乎喂养的很好，但碧绿色的眸子中却是黯淡无光，没什么活跃的神采。
emsp;
@emsp;"This is the snow lion unique to our Elu Island. An adult can grow over four meters long and has great strength, making it capable of pulling carriages with people without any problem."
emsp;emsp;"Really?"
emsp;emsp;Heik instantly felt a sense of broadened horizons. His curiosity peaked, and he stretched out his chubby right hand, wanting to imitate Sweet's actions and touch the snow lion's head.
emsp;Roar!
emsp;emsp;但还隔着好几十公分的时候，那只微垂着头的雪狮，就陡然抬起了脑袋，嘴里发出低低咆哮声，朝海克投来了凶厉的目光。
