In the northern provinces close to the ice fields, the weather in the Harvest Moon has turned cooler, and today it is a rare day with clear skies and clear air.
Click, click, click, a group of cavalry galloped across the wasteland, the sun shone on their black armor, dyeing the symbol of the bloody bear a layer of gold.
They seemed to be searching for something, but they turned a blind eye to the mercenary team not far away, as if they were transparent.
"I remember that group invisibility is a seven-ring spell?" There was a gentleman in this team of mercenaries who looked the least like a mercenary. He was wearing a bright red dress, leaning lazily next to the horse, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, for fear of others. Didn't know he was a noble and elegant "noble".
Faced with Viscount Karenldia's question, Katrina replied reservedly and slightly proudly: "The research on light has been throughout the history of the Parliament. Therefore, we have a very deep understanding of invisibility. Single-person invisibility and There is no significant difference in the nature of multi-person invisibility."
"Although this is only part of the principle of invisibility, it is not difficult to create a five-ring magic with partial group invisibility effect. In fact, Mr. Viscount, you have never seen it before just because this magic can only be hidden from ordinary knights."
"Sometimes, I envy arcanists. You always seem to have a strong desire to explore and maintain a strong motivation to move forward, so you never find life boring, unlike us who spend most of our time moldy in a dark castle. Guys, I often feel that life is monotonous and boring, that nothing is interesting, and that there is no difference between living and dead." Viscount Carenoldia took a sip of red wine, pretending to be the melancholy temperament of a literary young man.
Katrina pursed her lips and smiled: "Mr. Viscount, aren't vampires undead? What gave you the idea that you are still alive?"
"That's right..." Viscount Calendia suddenly felt speechless when facing this kind of lady who had grown up under the influence of "Mysterious Voice" and Lucien.
Anna next to her looked at the two people with a smile, and was delighted to find that the powerful and mysterious magician Sister Katrina and the handsome and powerful vampire Viscount Carnaldia still had a normal side, not as arrogant and gloomy as she feared. Looking down at all weak creatures.
When the cavalry left, Katrina turned to look at Anna, Yakov and others: "Have you decided where to go?"
Since Viscount Andrei is the only descendant of Count Calcutt, even if he is the real culprit behind the "Devil Worship Incident" and should be executed, mercenaries such as Yakov and Anna are also worried about being secretly retaliated against - how can the church always protect them? A person of this status?
Therefore, after the incident was over, they took advantage of the time lag to find the family members and pretended to have died at the scene of the "Killing Feast", and then followed Katrina and Viscount Carnaldia out of Calcutt City.
"Sister Katrina, you left the sign of the Magic Council Investigator in the manor. I believe that Count Calcutt will not pay too much attention to our situation. As long as we don't stay in the Northern Province, it will be the same wherever we go, so we will choose to compare. A skilled place." After escaping the death crisis, Anna was no longer so wary of this level of danger, and seemed much more optimistic and open-minded, "What about you, are you going to return to the Magic Council?"
Having grown up in the Shahran Empire, they were far from being exposed to the real structure of the world. Except for Yakov, who had briefly worked with an official magician, the rest of the mercenaries had never heard of the Magic Council before Katrina introduced herself.
, Arlinge and other terms, we only know the Kingdom of Holm - it is famous for its fabrics, unique jewelry, ores and other specialties, and the mercenary team often protects merchants who smuggle these goods.
Although Katrina has become a superior magician, when hearing Anna's question, Yakov and others couldn't help but turn their attention to her, looking forward to being able to spend some time together.
"I have other tasks, and I won't be returning to Arlinge in a short time. In fact, you can go to the Kingdom of Holm, which is relatively free and has no shortage of opportunities for exercise. You go north to the ice field, and then keep going east.
, after passing through several poorly defended fortresses, you can reach the Eastern Exile. Once there, it will be easier and easier to go to the Kingdom of Holm, especially Yakov, you are a knight." Katrina suggested sincerely.
.
Anna's eyes lit up and her expression became excited, but soon her expression turned sad: "Sister Katrina, I have actually thought about this issue in the past two days, but I have lived in this land since I was a child.
I like it, whether it is food, architecture, poetry, stories, or various customs and habits of getting along with others, they are all deeply imprinted in my heart. I don’t want to leave here until I am in the most desperate moment. Maybe we will
Go to a few provinces to the east, where there are also many resources and opportunities."
"Anna and I have similar thoughts. Don't worry, I am a knight. No noble will refuse the loyalty of a knight. This is not one of those countries in the south that has not experienced war for two or three hundred years." Yakov was silent for a moment.
Finally, he answered firmly that maybe one day he would go to Arlinge, but he hoped that by then he would already have the strength of a fifth-level knight and be able to look at Katrina on an equal footing.
Katrina didn't say much, but used the communication technique to remind Anna and Yakov: "It's best to separate from Huck and other betrayed mercenaries halfway, and not let them know your true destination, lest they betray you again.
In exchange for the property rewarded by Count Calcutt."
Although she is not vicious enough to kill people and silence them, she still has the caution that an arcanist should have.!·Okay." Yakov and Anna were a little unable to accept this proposal, but after thinking about the encounters in the prison and the altar, they finally decided
Nodding heartily - they have been living as mercenaries for many years, and they are used to seeing death and killing, so they will not act emotionally so easily.
With the help of magic, the team quickly reached the ice field in the north. Anna reluctantly held Katrina's hand, with a faint sparkle in her eyes: "Sister Katrina, if I have a chance in the future, I will go to Holm
The kingdom is up to you."
"I welcome you at any time. If possible, I may return to the empire. At that time, I will let you return to your hometown without worries." Katrina's voice also became softer. In the absence of electromagnetic communication technology, telegraphs, landline telephones, and postal services,
Department, Messenger's Shahran Empire, before Yakov and Anna found a suitable city, farewell today, maybe forever.
Thinking of this, Katrina had a deeper understanding of the significance of the teacher's popularization of alchemical items.
Before leaving, Anna suddenly remembered something and asked in a low voice: "Sister Katrina, is the starry sky you summoned a legendary power? Your teacher? Father? Or..."
"It's my teacher's Atomic Control, your demiplane's Atomic Universe, he is the Grand Arcanist, the legendary magician." Katrina admitted openly. It's not that the teacher can't show it to others, on the contrary, she
I am very proud and proud of my students who can become teachers.
"Legendary Magician! Sure enough, has he reached the level of Seraph?" Anna looked shocked and curious. She didn't know what the Grand Arcanist was, and she didn't know who "Atomic Control" was, but the legendary magic
Master, but no one dares to despise it. The former ruler of the Northern Province was a female legendary magician "Snow Queen" Fedia, so there are many magical stories about her everywhere. Exaggeration will make people think that legendary magic is
The master is only a little worse than the true god.
Na
Among the magic that Katrina is good at is ice and snow. In addition to the influence of her teacher, she also grew up listening to the horror stories of this magician. This "Ice Queen" disappeared from the Northern Province not long after the demise of the Magic Empire.
No one knows if she is still alive or if she is hiding deep in the Dark Mountains.
"Seraph..." Katrina smiled and did not answer directly. Anyway, in her heart, the teacher's strength must be stronger than the ordinary Seraph, only slightly worse than the "King of Angels".
After Anna and Yakov, who had satisfied their curiosity, set foot on the ice field, Viscount Karenldia chuckled and said: "Evans is not famous enough in the Shahran Empire. If the newspaper "Observer",
‘Earl Silver Eyes, Rhine = Viscount Carnaldia, etc. I believe they will be even more shocked.”
square
This is because Rhine is also on the execution list of the Northern Church, while Lucien, who has grown rapidly and has basically had no contact with the Northern Church, is not "wanted" - the Northern Church knows its own strength, and unlike the Southern Church
All high-level officials of the hostile forces were included in the purification sequence, and only those who had "committed crimes" within their jurisdiction were selected.
No
"The execution list of the Northern Church is not authoritative enough, but it is more recognized by people who have been in the purification sequence..." Katrina said in a tone of arcane research. For magicians, being in the purification sequence is an honor.
After the two chatted and laughed for a while, Viscount Carenoldia's smile faded and he said seriously: "I always feel that there are still many mysteries about this devil worship incident. The truth may not be what we guessed. Maybe Viscount Andre
It’s also a chess piece…”
He made the suspicion based on some coincidences in the incident, without any evidence or direction.
"Well, so the mission report I submitted through Artificial Planet only listed the things I experienced in detail, without giving my own judgment. Let the gentlemen of the Affairs Committee draw their own conclusions. Maybe they have information that we don't know.
"Katrina nodded in agreement.
When there was an artificial planet, she submitted the mission report that night. Sometimes, she really felt that the world was very small. Arlinge was obviously so far away, but she had no problem communicating with her until she said goodbye to Anna just now.
While waiting for someone, she suddenly realized that the world was still very big, so big that if she was not careful, she would never see another person.
"I found traces of my father nearby, so I'm going to hunt him down so that it won't interfere with your next mission." Viscount Carenoldia said with a smile, but there was no smile at all.
Father? Pursuit? Don't you care about Mr. Rhine? Katrina was curious but rational and did not ask, and set foot on the road to the Kingdom of Dumut alone.
Allinge, Institute of Atomic Research.
Lucien, who had completed the monthly timepiece upgrade, had just stepped into the laboratory when he saw Heidi coming over with a journal, and said enthusiastically: "Teacher, this paper on "Elements" gives you the negative energy state.
and the antiparticle conjecture to construct a possible model."
"Possible model?" Lucien roughly guessed what it was based on the current research results, and asked with a smile.
"Well, the negative energy state vacuum sea, maybe the root of our magic lies here? It turns out that vacuum is not necessarily empty." Heidi was very interested in this, and Annick and Splinter also gathered around, asking about this article.
The article also has a certain degree of attention.
Lucien said meaningfully: "Yes, a vacuum is not empty."
