In Noland City, Aranza and Kim Gates were walking quickly on the corridor of the city lord's palace. Clean floor-to-ceiling windows were inlaid on one side of the corridor, connecting the winter scenery of Noland City. It was late at night.
But the dark curtain could not cover the sky full of white snow, which was raging over Noland City.
Aranza suddenly stopped walking and turned to look out the window. The night was getting dark, but the tracks of snowflakes outside the window were particularly clear.
"Well, this snow..."
"It was sudden."
Kim Gates took over Aranza's words, and his eyes also fell out of the window, with a little worry in his brows, and said: "Blizzards in the past have forebodings, but this time, they came suddenly. And...it's the leader of the group.
Your Excellency, this started not long after you came out of the magic teleportation array."
Aranza's brows were also furrowed. He thought for a moment, then turned around and continued walking through the corridor. As he walked, he said, "Well, that necromancer, oh... Is Seyatimo in Norland City?"
The necromancer whose name was called was standing in front of the door of her magic laboratory.
The strong wind wrapped in ice was violently moving in the street, sweeping away, but she remained motionless, letting the ice and snow hit her gloomy face. Seiyatimo clenched the weird-looking staff in her hand, beads of sweat
It seeped out from her palms, resisting the cold air around her.
The Norland Army soldier who was responsible for rescuing residents who had not rushed home before the blizzard happened to be passing by. He braved the increasingly fierce wind and snow and cautiously approached Seiyatimo. He tried to raise his voice as high as possible to cover the blizzard.
Whistling, said: "Sir! It's dangerous here, you'd better go back to the house!"
"Leave me alone!"
Seiyatimo answered coldly, her eyes were focused on the air, or the back of the air. Her expression gradually became tense, as if she was about to face a battle.
The Norland Army soldiers had no choice but to head towards the other end of the street. The blizzard appeared so suddenly that a large number of residents were still trapped on the street, and the refugees who had been displaced were even more suffering.
He must cooperate with other Norland Army soldiers to evacuate the trapped residents as soon as possible and build a shelter for the refugees at the same time.
Seyatimo glanced at the Norland Army soldiers walking away.
"I have to do something!"
She thought to herself, while raising the magic wand in her hand and chanting a spell quickly.
However, before the last note of her spell fell, the blizzard took the lead in letting out its final roar. The snowflakes in the sky seemed to have been sucked out of their strength midway, struggled for a while, and then staggered to the ground. The blizzard that covered the sky stopped immediately.
, the dark clouds dispersed, revealing a pure white moon.
Only the snowflakes falling lightly from the sky proved that the storm had indeed occurred.
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded from the depths of Seyatimo's soul, desolate and distant, saying: "Someone is preventing the Ice Crystal Ancient Tooth Tiger from opening the portal here."
Seyatimo was slightly shocked, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "So the blizzard here was caused by the Ice Crystal Ancient Tooth Tiger during the Void War?"
"Yes."
"It can actually affect the weather in real coordinates. It's such a powerful force..."
Seiyati couldn't help but swallowed a gulp of saliva. This was the first time that a person embarking on the path of a necromancer had the emotion of fear. She looked at the sky with lingering fear, as if she could see the void hidden behind it, and asked at the same time
: "The person who stops the Ice Crystal Ancient Tooth Tiger, is it an enemy or a friend?"
"Neither enemy nor friend," the desolate and distant voice replied, "Although he has resolved the disaster that the prophesied person is about to face, he is changing the trajectory of his destiny."
Seyatimo's shock deepened, and she still had doubts. She lowered her head again, racking her brains to think about something, and then asked the voice that sounded from the depths of her soul: "So is this person resisting fate?"
"Maybe he is just part of the road of destiny..."
At this time, Aranza and Kim Gates, who were walking on the corridor, stopped again and looked out the window at the same time.
"Well, the snowstorm has stopped?"
Aranza seemed unable to believe her eyes, so she asked Kim Gates.
But Kim Gates seemed to be unable to believe his eyes, so he frowned for a moment, then nodded hesitantly and said, "It seems... it has stopped."
"Well, this blizzard is definitely not a natural phenomenon. Let the magicians separately explore the elemental fluctuations around Noland City. The city defense army also pays attention to whether there are any suspicious characters. In addition..."
Aranza continued to walk and said: "Where did I just talk? Oh, by the way, our necromancer, Seiyatimo, is she in Norland City?"
"exist."
Kim Gates replied, then added: "I heard that she went to the woods not long ago, the forest that was blocked and hidden by your order...the forest where the witch was discovered."
Aranza stopped walking again, for the third time.
Kim Gates quickly explained: "...You know, I can't stop her behavior. Unless the leader directly orders it, Seiyatimo rarely obeys the orders of other superiors."
However, Aranza did not blame Kim Gates. After a short silence, he took another step and said: "Well, he is a disobedient guy again, forget it...she can go wherever she wants, the Necromancer's
There are always so many secrets that it is outrageous. In addition to specialized space magicians, necromancers should know more about space magic than other magicians. Later, you will send someone to ask her whether this blizzard is related to space. "
"OK."
Kim Gates, who was following Aranza, nodded again. Necromancers often summon various evil creatures from different spaces. Except for space magicians who specialize in space magic, Seiyatimo does understand space better than other magicians.
The secret is that even Hancock, who once summoned a monster from another space, is no more accomplished in space magic than Seiya Timo.
At the end of the corridor was a luxuriously decorated door. Aranza pushed it open without hesitation and stepped into it - this was the lounge he had specially arranged for Hancock. Teleported back to Nolan from Ix City
After entering the city, Hancock, who was seriously injured, was sent here nearby, and then they non-stop invited high priests from various temples in the city to treat Hancock.
Aranza and Karu were also treated at the same time, but although they were also seriously injured, their injuries were not difficult to heal. They could walk freely at this time. Although Chenxi was also seriously injured, she had hidden supernatural power.
It is definitely a big secret. Directly receiving treatment from the priest may cause some unnecessary troubles and risks. Therefore, Chenxi chose medicine and self-use magic repair for treatment. Although the treatment time was lengthened, it was relatively safer.
Hancock, who was lying on the extremely luxurious "hospital bed", was still unconscious. The dozen or so priests surrounding the bed were all sweating profusely, and the magical staffs in their hands were still continuously outputting healing spells.
"Big brother..."
A childish voice sounded next to Aranza's ears. It was the little girl he brought back from the city of Ix. She stretched out her hand and pulled the corner of Aranza's clothes and whispered: "Sister, what happened to her...what happened to her?"
"Well, little guy, why are you here?"
Aranza leaned over and touched the little girl's head, and said softly: "It's getting late, you should go to bed."
The little girl pouted and replied: "I want to see the big sister."
Hearing this, Aranza was stunned for a moment. Unexpectedly, this little guy actually had a good impression of the cold and arrogant Hancock. He had no choice but to continue to comfort the little girl until she was satisfied, and then he called the two maids with a difficult look on his face.
, and asked them to send the little girl to rest.
Watching the maid take the little girl out of the room, Kim Gates suddenly turned around and said to Aranza: "Master, do you plan to adopt this little guy?"
Aranza pondered for a moment and said, "Well, why not?"
"I just..."
In the middle of her words, Kim Gates suddenly shook her head and changed her words: "If you can give her a safe environment, why not think about it for yourself. It's time for you... to have a child. Although this
The words are a bit abrupt, even a bit unpleasant, but...if there is any accident, as long as the bloodline of the King of Heroes is still there, there is at least hope."
"Well, Fatty."
Aranza almost laughed out loud and said, "I'm only in my twenties, so there's no need to be in such a hurry. Besides, don't you have any children yet?"
"Even though the Principality of Lane has been divided for a long time, as a member of the royal family, it's not unusual for you to have a child at the age of seventeen or eighteen, right?"
Kim Gates retorted, but his tone suddenly darkened, saying: "I once had a son, who was almost seventeen or eighteen years old now...but he...died in the Year of Disaster.
The nobles in my hometown are in rebellion. Also, my wife..."
Aranza looked stunned. He suddenly realized that he had never understood his partner's past, so there was a brief silence in the air. Aranza took a breath and said slowly: "Well... I'm sorry, fat man..."
"No, I'm just being emotional."
Kim Gates thought about Aranza's words and said: "It's just...the recent situation has given me an ominous premonition. You see, this time in the battle, even our strong men from the sanctuary were all injured, and this
…Maybe this is the beginning.”
A flash of struggle flashed in Aranza's eyes. He understood what Kim Gates meant. This time was their first confrontation with the Lane family. As a result, although they achieved their goal, the process was not easy. Half-orcs
The appearance of Bakulang was an unexpected blow to the Thorn Mercenary Group, and Bakulang may only be a small player in the Orc clan.
Aranza once again aroused his desire for power. He thought that if he truly entered the ranks of the strong men of the Sanctuary, and then expanded his Sanctuary domain, the situation might be much more stable. He could not compete with all high-level battles.
The pressure was on Hancock and others, but the fact was that except for Kalu, Hancock and Chenxi did not leave him. Aranza felt quite lucky.
At this time, the priests' treatment of Hancock finally completed a stage.
The leading high priest wiped the sweat off his face vigorously and exhaled heavily at the same time. This high priest came from the Temple of the Moon Goddess. The Temple of the Moon Goddess was ostracized during the era of the Principality of Lane and disappeared for a time until
The Year of Disaster kicked off the era of war, and the Temple of the Moon Goddess was able to revive and flourish. Now there are temples of the Moon Goddess in every major city. There is no other reason than that the healing effects of the Moon Goddess’ magic are unparalleled.
Divine healing is the best of all, and war will create many who are waiting for divine healing.
At this time, the high priest did not open her face. She almost exhausted all her strength, and even the usually light magic staff in her hand became much heavier.
There was already a haze in Aranza's heart that she couldn't push away.
Only with the support of two maids could the high priest reach Aranza's side. However, the other priests had already fallen to the ground from exhaustion and refused to move even after saying anything.
"Dear...His Royal Highness."
The high priest who met Aranza for the first time thought about his words before continuing: "As for Sir Hancock's injury, I think it is necessary to let you know..."
