It is said that snowy nights are good for falling asleep, but Reggie doesn't think so. This snowstorm is really huge, much bigger than the hurricanes Reggie has experienced. Every time he is about to fall asleep, he always feels like
The tower is shaking and may collapse at any time.
And that damn elephant, it kept digging in the soil, making a loud buzzing sound, which sounded like a pile driver at a construction site.
Natalie was wrapped in a blanket and sleeping soundly next to the charcoal stove.
Erwin is holding a whetstone and repairing his dagger.
Reggie was worried about Natalie, but he couldn't bear to leave Erwin. When he proposed that the three of them sleep together, Natalie refused.
But later she found out that Reggie had no other ideas, so she reluctantly agreed.
Reggie, who couldn't sleep, sat up with a blanket and said to Erwin: "Aren't you worried at all? This snowstorm may be related to the Frost Demon!"
"There is nothing to worry about, sir. Unless the Bayer Kingdom is completely destroyed, the Frost Demon will never come here." Erwin was silent for a while, then put down the grindstone and said, "Sir, you are worried about Sophie.
Ya?"
"Why should I worry about that ungrateful woman!" Reggie snorted, "I'm worried about Broken Snow City. This blizzard is so weird. I have to find a way to stop it."
Erwin said in shock: "Sir, do you have magic that can change the weather?"
"Of course I don't," Reggie bit his lip and said, "But maybe a friend of mine can do something..."
The sound of huge digging came again, and Reggie frowned irritably: "Are there many such giant beasts in Bayer Country?"
"As far as I know, there are about a dozen kinds of giant beasts in Beijing, including giant bulls, giant deer, giant bears, and the most difficult ones, giant eagles and giant apes. But they generally live on the tundra and are not used as a last resort.
They will not approach places with people. In winter, the Bayers will hunt all creatures crazily. There are very few ferocious beasts like this that dare to approach the Han Maple Fortress."
"Why don't the Bayers fight with them?" Reggie pointed in the direction outside the city, "A big thing like that can't be stopped by ordinary city walls."
Erwin smiled and said: "Sir, it is impossible to tame a beast like that, unless it is in the Wolf Country."
"Wolf Country?" Reggie wrapped his blanket tightly, "Do they know how to tame wild beasts?"
"They don't know how to tame beasts, but they know how to enslave orcs," Erwin poured Reggie a glass of hot wine. "I only heard from Jarvan that there is an orc army in the Wolf Kingdom, and this army can be commanded.
Many beasts fight, but God is always fair. There are no huge beasts in the Benlang Kingdom. Even the giant leopard with a grimace that they are proud of is not as tall as the green-haired lion of the Lion Kingdom."
"Orc Legion? Why do they accept the slavery of the Benlang Kingdom?"
"Because they want to survive," Erwin added some charcoal to the stove. "Orcs are aliens, but they are not as good at escaping as elves and wizards. They are eager to survive and survive like humans, even if they are like slaves."
"If they are willing to come to Broken Snow City, I can give them the right to live freely."
"Sir, I think your people really don't want you to do this..."
The two chatted until late at night, Reggie gradually relaxed, and tiredness slowly came over him. With the help of the hot wine, he slept until dawn.
The snowstorm had just receded, and Reggie was patrolling west along the fortress. The busy soldiers had no time to clear the snow, and most of the roads were covered with a thick layer of ice.
"There should be a tavern here, a market here, and preferably a shop. There should be some girls here..."
While walking on the road, Reggie kept blaming himself that the first fortress on the mainland was so poorly managed by him.
"Wait, Erwin, give me a year, and I will make the fortress as prosperous as Shattered Snow City!"
A soldier whispered behind him: "It sounds like Suixue City is very prosperous."
Another soldier sighed: "It can't be better than this damn place."
Listening to the soldiers' discussion, Reggie was a little annoyed, but what they said made sense. The residents of Broken Snow City had received gold coins, but there were still not many places to spend money. Broken Snow City was still far from what he had dreamed of.
a long distance.
Arriving at the end of the fortress, with the cliff of the Lost Mountain ahead, Reggie stood on the westernmost tower and blew the Troll Horn given to him by Laduca.
This was his first time blowing the horn. Unexpectedly, the sound of the horn was louder than the giant bell in Shattered Snow City. Reggie suspected that some kind of magic was added to the horn, or some kind of amplification equipment was installed.
After blowing for nearly half an hour, the dizzy Reggie lay weakly on the ground. Erwin said: "Sir, do you think the mountain demon can stop this blizzard?"
Reggie shook his head and said: "This blizzard has also affected the Lost Mountain. They may not be able to do anything, but at least they can provide some suggestions."
"Will the mountain demon come here?"
"I'm not sure, let's wait and see."
…
Batchelor, who was immersed in fine wine and delicious food, came to the dungeon reluctantly. The dark and cold cell, the blood-stained torture instruments, and the heart-rending cries were all very inconsistent with the atmosphere of the New Year.
But he had no choice. This matter endangered the lord's life.
Ada, who was sitting across from her, was unusually calm. She was ready to endure everything. She had not said a word since her arrest, and she was prepared to keep this silence until her life ended completely.
Batchelor firmly believed that the instrument of torture could pry open her mouth. Although he didn't want to do this, he couldn't find a better way. When the executioner raised his whip, Modessa walked in and faced Batchelor.
Chelo whispered something.
Batchelor smiled, stood up, and said to Ada: "Congratulations, you don't have to suffer any more."
Ada looked at Batchelor in surprise. Batchelor smiled and said, "We have captured that boy, the beautiful boy Lester. I think he knows more things than you. As a man, he also
Can endure torture better than you."
Batchelor turned to leave, and Ada shouted: "You lied!"
Batchelor turned around and said: "You are finally willing to speak."
"No one can catch Lester!"
"No one can escape the pursuit of the tracker," Batchelor said slowly with a sinister smile, "Remember Tyr? He is the tracker paladin. You should know the ability of the paladin. As long as you are caught
When he sees that boy's appearance, there is absolutely no chance that he will miss!"
"Stop lying to me!" Ada shouted, "Do you think I will be fooled? If you really catch him, let me see what he looks like. Do you dare?"
Batchelor shook his head and said: "To be honest, I really don't dare. You are first-class assassins and have a very tacit understanding. If you want to join forces to escape, I'm afraid I really can't handle it. I'd better use my strength."
Leave it to that boy, I really don’t want to see a girl bleeding too much on New Year’s Day.”
Seeing Batchelor walking to the door, Ada shouted: "Wait a minute!"
"Is there anything else you want to say? I guess someone has already tortured him in the cell over there."
"Let me see him, just take a look at him," Ada's voice began to tremble, "As long as I can take a look at him, I will tell you everything I know."
