When Leo returned to Delisa, the civil strife in Ice Bear County had spread throughout the city, and as the instigator, he only then understood the specific situation related to it, and things did not go beyond his expectations.
, Bingxiong County is indeed in chaos at the moment.
After the death of the Grand Duke Ice Bear, those who were loyal to the Grand Duke Ice Bear and others who were hostile to the Grand Duke Ice Bear started fighting. Both sides tried their best and did not hold back. In the end, the people loyal to the Grand Duke Ice Bear won.
In the end, after all, they had prepared in advance.
However, although they won, it was not a complete victory. Many hostile nobles still fled, including the most important ones, Earl Xuelu, who was qualified as the first heir, and Ah, the prestigious president of the Pharmacist Society.
Doss, it can be said that the two of them were helped by other nobles to escape from Bouvilles.
It was precisely because of the escape of these two people that the nobles loyal to the Ice Bear Archduke had not had time to celebrate their victory or even think about the next step, so Earl Snow Deer summoned the heirs of the nobles who died in the castle.
Form an army and fight against them.
In addition, all the pharmacists, including Bouvilles, left their territory, stating that they would not provide any medical assistance to their army and the people in the territory, and also took away all the medicine. There is no doubt that once
If they go to war, their army will not have a pharmacist.
The more serious point is that they do not have a single heir to the throne. Including Earl Snow Deer, Grand Duke Ice Bear has a total of six heirs to the Grand Duke title, and among these six people, except Earl Snow Deer, all others are wearing
Lisa, that is to say, no matter what their reason is, even if it is to avenge the Grand Duke, they are completely unjust and there are probably very few people who are willing to follow them.
However, they did not sit still and wait for death, so they forged a grand duke's illegitimate son, and then elected this so-called grand duke's illegitimate son to be the grand duke's heir and confront Earl Snow Deer. This would allow them to compete with Earl Snow Deer's coalition forces in a short period of time.
However, everyone knows that as long as Earl Snow Deer does not die, he will definitely become the new generation of Ice Bear Archduke. Even if Earl Snow Deer dies, there will be other heirs who can take his place, and this final battle in Ice Bear County
The winner will surely be Leah Venestan, Queen of Dalyat.
Leo collected some relevant information in Delisa City, so he didn't take the matter to heart anymore, and arrived at the room prepared by Leia Venestan in the Snow Templar.
At this time, Sylvia and Tessa Mocha were both in the room, each doing their own thing.
Although it was said that she was protecting Leah Venestan, in fact after returning to Delisa, the safety protection of the Snow Queen was handed over to people she trusted. The witches all stayed in the Ice and Snow Temple.
If anything happens, they can rush to the palace as soon as possible to provide reinforcements.
Leo's return did not surprise them. After hearing that Archduke Ice Bear was assassinated, they estimated that Leo would be back soon, so in addition to busying themselves with their own affairs these days, they were following Leo's instructions.
Like that, collect all the information related to the ice bridge.
"Is that all there is?" Leo looked at the information on the table and couldn't help but frown, because the information was much less than he expected, and what was even more troublesome was that most of the information was folklore.
, there are only two pieces of information that are really useful, one is the official Dalyat ice bridge survey report, and the other is a book written by a Dalyat adventurer. This adventurer once walked across the ice bridge, but
We turned back halfway because the way forward was blocked.
"This is the only information that can be collected now. The other information is in the private library of the palace. Lia promised to send someone to help us sort it out. It should be delivered in a day or two," Sylvia explained.
, while handing a copy of the handwriting to Leo, he said: "These are some of the key points we compiled after reading these books for two days. You can use them as a reference."
"Well, thank you for your hard work!" Leo nodded, then sat at the desk and began to look through the information on the table, but he did not first look through the adventurer's book as suggested in Sylvia's handwriting.
Instead of handwriting, I read the folklore stories related to the ice bridge.
Since Sylvia marked the stories related to the Ice Bridge in advance, it reduced the time he needed to find corresponding stories, and he quickly read all the stories.
Although these stories are not special in the eyes of Sylvia and Tessa Moka, they are just folk novels. However, in the face of Leo's strong analytical ability, after stripping away some story elements from these folk legends, the remaining content
There is a lot of useful information on the specific conditions of Ice Bridge.
After Leo finished reading these folklores, he picked up two other information books and started reading them. Soon he had finished reading these two information books, and he compared the information compiled in the folklores with these information.
After excluding those parts that were too absurd, there was still a lot of content that was not mentioned in the two specialized materials.
It was different from what Leo had expected. The ice bridge he thought of before was just an ice surface formed after the sea surface froze, but in fact the ice bridge should be called an ice cave.
The cold wind blowing down from the endless ice fields in the north is extremely cold in both winter and summer, and the wind speed is extremely fast and the wind force is unimaginable. Once upon a time, a large fleet of ships chased fish and accidentally sailed into the northern ice field waters.
, as a result, it capsized and sank directly under the blow of this cold wind. Only one ship was lucky enough to turn around in time and go south with the wind, so it was saved.
When entering the cold wind belt of the endless ice fields in the north, without shelter, the average person will not be able to survive walking in this cold wind for five minutes. Even the beasts that grow on the ice fields all year round cannot survive in such harsh cold.
To survive under the wind, only a very small number of moss plants that live under ice and snow and those underground creatures in the frozen soil that feed on moss plants can survive.
Because of the cold wind blowing, when the waves roll, the water will be frozen in the air, and over time a hollow ice cave will be formed, and the volume of the ice cave is very huge, and some of it will even sink to the bottom of the sea.
It is not safe to walk inside the ice bridge. Folklore and the adventurer's notebook mention that there are some monsters living in the ice cave. These monsters will attack any intruder, but these monsters are not the biggest threat.
The threat is the uncertainty of ice bridges.
Under normal circumstances, an ice bridge that has formed a cave will be very strong and almost impossible to be damaged by external forces. However, the ice bridge will become heavier and heavier due to the continuous accumulation of ice attached to the outer layer.
As a result, problems such as settlement, cracks, etc. will occur. Once you encounter such problems while walking on the ice cave, the results will be fatal.
Moreover, due to the continuous accumulation over the years, the terrain in the ice cave is like a maze, with all the paths leading out are forks. If you don't know the terrain clearly, as long as you encounter a fork, you may take the wrong path.
The adventurer who explored the ice bridge took a wrong turn and got lost in the ice bridge. He was trapped for more than ten days. Finally, he was lucky enough to find the right path and escape, which also made him give up completely.
He wanted to continue exploring ice bridges, and in the books he published later, he openly expressed his fear of ice bridges.
If the Ice Bridge was really so dangerous that even professional adventurers could not pass it, then the Renault people and other ice-field ancestors here would not have migrated from the northern ice field of Velen Continent to avoid the war.
Here it comes.
According to several folklore books, the Renault people seemed to have mastered the ability to find the right path in the ice cave, which allowed them to successfully cross the ice bridge before the southern kingdom began to transport prisoners to the northern ice fields.
, these Renault people pass through the ice bridge to the other side of the Velen continent ice field every year, and rob the ice tribes there, not only robbing materials, but also robbing people. This matter is also clearly stated in the history of the French Empire in Velen continent.
record.
Leo told Sylvia about the Renault people and asked if there was any way to find information about the Renault people, but Sylvia could not do anything about it because the last pure-blooded Renault person died more than forty years ago.
He has died of illness, and the Renault people have become completely extinct in the civilized sense. The Renault people now are just ordinary people with part of the Renault blood. They dress up as Renault people and live in tents just to get out of their homes.
The kingdom defrauds funds and also attracts tourists.
Tessa Moka remembered something at this time and suggested: "I remember there is a Renault Museum in the city. There are many daily necessities and leftover documents of the Renault people. You can go there and have a look."
Leo nodded, followed the other party's suggestion, and asked Sylvia if he would go with him.
In this regard, Sylvia also readily agreed to Leo's invitation. Then Leo took off the armor, controlled the aura of sin, and put on an ordinary traditional Dalyat dress, while Hill
Via also changed into casual clothes.
Just as the two were about to leave the room and head to the city, a palace servant walked quickly toward them and told the three people in the room that the queen wanted to see them.
After hearing the message from the palace attendant, the three of them looked at each other, and then, under the guidance of the attendant, they came to the reception room in the palace.
At this time, Leah Venestan was already waiting there. Beside her were not only witches, but also several extraordinary beings and dependents who emitted strong energy fluctuations. Leo even felt the power of the crowd in one of the dependents.
The energy fluctuations of the Nest Mother.
At this moment, there were three boxes placed on the table. Although the boxes did not indicate what was inside, Leo and the others could still guess what was inside, but what made them wonder was why Leah Winenstein
Will take things out in advance.
"I'm very satisfied with what you did. These are the rewards we negotiated before." Leah Venestan said.
Sylvia stepped forward and took the three boxes over, opened them and took a look. Except for Leo's two high tower wizard's medicine notes, the other two items were placed in a metal box of different sizes.
Leah Venestan explained: "The Faceless Scripture and Mother Tree seeds are very special and need to be contained in this container. When you take them out, it is best to take them out where no one is."
Sylvia didn't say anything. She knew very well what kind of power her family's holy book contained. It was no exaggeration to say that although it could not be compared with the knowledge of the Madman Thirteen Ancient Gods, it was not far behind. Even if it was
She, Belmont, also needs to complete some rituals before she can use this holy book.
But Tessa Mocha showed an unhappy look on her face and said, "You never told me that the seeds have sprouted before."
"You didn't ask me either!" Leah Venestan shrugged and said: "And you should know very well how much the ungerminated mother tree seeds are worth. Do you think what you have done is worth a mother tree seed?
"
Faced with Leah Winenstein's rhetorical question, Tessa Mocha didn't say anything more. In fact, she knew from the beginning that there must be problems with the mother tree seeds provided by Leah Winenstein, but these days she still holds on to the problem.
There was just a hint of unrealistic expectations, but now her suspicions were only confirmed.
Although for most people, germinated mother tree seeds do not have much value, but to her, even if the mother tree seeds sprout, they can still be of great use to her.
So she did not pursue the matter further, but took the things back into her pocket.
Leah Venestan asked again: "When will you leave? I can arrange for someone to take you to Taniko, which is the closest place to the Ice Bridge."
"Don't we need to protect you until you fully recover?" Sylvia was stunned when she heard this and asked doubtfully.
Leah Winenstein simply explained: "No need! I have found enough manpower, the three of you are just in case!"
Sylvia did not ask further questions, thinking that there was no need for Leah Winenstein to lie to her about this matter, but Leo on the side noticed something was wrong, because what he felt from Leah Winenstein was not
The possessiveness she felt before was instead a kind of vigilance. The other party seemed to be wary of her.
This made Leo feel extremely puzzled. He was a little unclear as to why Leah Winenstein's attitude suddenly changed. However, he didn't care too much about it, because Leah Winenstein's decision was just right.
His thoughts.
So, he thought for a while and said: "We will leave in the next two days, but before leaving, I hope to check some information about the Ice Bridge in your Majesty's private library."
