"Your Excellency Commander, we have walked forward for almost two miles, and the mountain used as a landmark has long been lost to sight. With such a heavy wind and snow, I'm afraid we will get lost if we continue walking...
..." Knight Cruz patted the snow on his breastplate and looked at the sky covered with heavy snow with some worry - the biting cold wind pushed the snowflakes howling between the sky and the earth. This blizzard came suddenly and did not cause any damage at all.
In order to prepare, the knight looked at the bad weather with some worry and expressed his opinion on the female knight in front of him.
Freya stopped, and her opponent breathed a sigh of relief. Her face was red from the cold, and her eyebrows were covered with frost. But Freya blinked and replied: "No, let's move forward.
Five hundred meters, they are injured, they must not be able to run far."
"Freya, if they were injured, we should have chased them long ago. No one can run too far in this weather." Nymesis's voice came from behind, and everyone turned around. The female
The knight remained calm as always, and at the same time reminded in a cold tone: "There is something fishy here. Have you forgotten what Brender and the others said?"
"But it could be the phantom on the ice sheet, the refraction of sunlight, or the shadow of snow in the crystal forest, which may produce similar illusions——"
"He said he saw a wolf. Do you understand what this means?" Nymesis interrupted her: "This storm was brought by wolves. This is not a good sign. The Min'er people fear wolves because wolves
It is part of the dusk and represents doom and the destruction of the world."
"But...didn't anyone else see it?" Freya was unsure. She looked at the vast expanse of white deep in the heavy snow. She always felt that there was a pair of pale eyes behind the snow shadow watching them. Others
Likewise, I always feel that this glacier is malicious to people. It feels like a silent stranger will suddenly appear behind you, which makes people's hair stand on end.
The howling of the wind was like an endless mournful wail.
Nymesis paused for a moment, her voice was like frozen shards falling down, she looked at the others coldly: "Nothing is impossible in the black forest, everything is possible. If you have a premonition that something bad is going to happen,
If it happens, it will definitely get worse."
Of course, the Cruz knights had heard of this proverb, and their scalps felt numb. Freya also hesitated. At this moment, a person suddenly stumbled out of the wind and snow in the distance. That person was the first person sent out not long ago.
The second batch of scouts. Their mission was to find the first batch of scouts sent out half an hour ago, but Freya's heart sank slightly when she saw the look on this man's face.
"Little Pelo, Alaya, Your Excellency Commander... Jade and Ainika..."
"what happened--"
"Shut up, Alaya, and let the Commander ask the question." Before Freya could speak, the knight behind her spoke first, but little Pelo beside Freya turned around and interrupted the man severely.
if.
The thin black-haired knight let out a breath and forced his companion back with cold eyes.
"It doesn't matter...what happened?" Freya had no time to be distracted. She looked at the scout and asked, "What happened to them?"
"I don't know anymore... when we found them... they were already... already..." The scout's shoulders almost trembled. Seeing him like this, the others' expressions instantly darkened. They were comrades in arms.
, are classmates who graduated from the same batch. They vowed to make a name for themselves in the following holy war, but today, they failed in this small place. Everything that happened here will not even be explained to anyone.
remembered.
"How could it be possible? How could something be able to kill them? In this damn backcountry!" The knight couldn't help but yelled angrily.
"Shut up, Alaya!" Little Pelo still scolded him coldly. But he turned around and his eyes fell on Freya.
Freya also felt a little depressed. This was the first casualty among her men. For a moment, she even thought of Beth's face. But the future Valkyrie blinked, shook her head and said, "Who is it?"
Kill them? Are they the halflings?"
"Your Excellency, Commander... Jade and Anika..." The scout's face showed a frightened look: "They died in a strange way..."
"eccentric?"
"I can't say, we can't tell what killed them. There were no obvious wounds on their bodies, but they seemed to have been drained of blood, but there were no vampire bite marks on them either..."
He took a deep breath, widened his eyes and said, "That guy from Luo Luo said that they were frozen to death, and that there are ghosts in the ice and snow that can extract people's essence, but I think that guy is talking nonsense..."
"Who is Lolo?" Freya turned back.
"He has the blood of mountain people and Min'er people, and he is a talkative guy." Little Pelo replied.
Freya was slightly surprised. She didn't expect that the empire did not discriminate against mountain people and Min'er people. However, her thoughts only stayed on this matter for a short moment before she replied: "Take us over and have a look."
"Freya, have you considered it?" But aside, Nymesis frowned at this decision.
"Senior sister," Freya raised her head: "Brando hates evil very much, and the Eruin people are by no means unwilling to take revenge. No matter whether they are Cruz people or not, they died under my hands. I don't care.
Please avenge them immediately, but at least find out who killed them."
"I understand." Nymesis replied calmly. She grasped the reins of the heroic horse, as if she had expected Freya's answer, and just said: "I just remind you, have you considered it carefully?"
"I've thought it over-"
Freya replied categorically, her words penetrated the wind and snow, making everyone shudder, but the Cruz people finally felt a glimmer of recognition when they looked at her expression.
…
Lenaret Aurelius looked at the increasingly obvious outline of the figure in the wind and snow. He was slightly dark and almost did not look like a member of the royal family. His face always maintained an unchanging expression, but this did not mean that
He didn't pay attention to everything that was happening around him. At least the young man on the horse slowly approaching him fell right in front of his eyes.
"Your Highness Lenaret." Haruze was a little envious when he saw this tall young man. He was also the first heir to the throne, just like him, but much calmer than him. For so long, except for
Apart from stating his name, the other party barely said a word. This stability made him very curious. Haruze eagerly wanted to know how to do better in his identity and how to do it.
Acting so confident.
Lenaret Aurelius looked back at the young man and replied: "Your Highness Haruze, under the rule of the Temple of Fire, you and I have equal status. There is no need for you to lag behind me.
Shoulders, this goes against the etiquette of exchanges between the two countries."
Haruze blushed. He didn't expect that he got the etiquette wrong all of a sudden. He didn't mean it. He was just used to following his sister or the teacher behind him. When he was reminded, he quickly loosened the reins and moved forward.
shoulder.
"Your Highness Lenaret, have you ever considered that you will inherit a huge empire in the future? Thousands of people, their future depends on your hands. Have you ever thought about what if...
What will happen if you make a mistake? I'm sorry, although it is very rude to say this...but I often think about this issue." Haruze asked in a low voice.
"It's not rude." Lenaret replied: "Of course I have considered this issue. This is part of my power and responsibility. As for thousands of people, their future depends on me.
Hand, you are right, if I do something right, they will praise me, and if I am wrong, they will take responsibility."
When Haruze heard these remarks, he couldn't help but widen his eyes: "How could this be?"
"Because by then, I will be His Majesty the Supreme Emperor. In this capacity, it is natural for me to maintain the majesty of the imperial power. This is the same for you. When you grow up to a certain age, you will understand this.
.God has given us this power, so we should be more careful to safeguard it."
Lenaret Aurelius raised his head and replied proudly.
"But isn't it the duty of a member of the royal family to fulfill the contract between the nobles and bring a happier and more stable life to his people?" Haruze was dumbfounded.
"Who told you this?" Lenaret turned around and asked.
"It's the teacher, and my sister..." the little prince replied in a low voice.
"What they said is wrong. Your sister is just a female prostitute, and that Earl must have other agendas." The eldest son of the emperor replied calmly.
Haruze felt that there was something wrong with these words, but he didn't know where to start his refutation. He couldn't help but mumbled: "But, teacher, he is a very upright and knowledgeable person. If His Highness Lenaret, you can discuss it with him."
If you do, you will definitely understand this.”
"No need." Lenaret Aurelius replied: "Haruze, only you are qualified to talk to me as an equal here, and I don't have to listen to other people's opinions - even when you are
In our country, your Royal Highness, the little prince, that earl is not yet an important minister. You should learn to choose your own power——"
Haruze was slightly startled, then nodded in understanding.
At the same moment, Brando saw a certain silver elf princess coming through the wind and snow. He threw a candy to Star not far behind him, and let the fat dragon run behind happily.
Then he raised his head and asked Medisa the first sentence:
"Freya hasn't come back yet?"
"I'm sorry, Lord, I didn't persuade her." Medisa frowned and shook her head worriedly.
"this is not your fault."
Brando looked up at the changing sky and replied softly: "I know Freya's character. The weather is a bit weird, but maybe we have to move forward against the wind."

(ps: I felt a little unwell yesterday and today. It seems I won’t be able to get perfect attendance this month. I’m speechless...)
