"To Kislev, to Snow Rock Castle, and to Lord Digel, cheers!"
After the siege was lifted, Snow Rock Castle was full of vitality. They were besieged by the greenskins for two and a half months, and the castle was almost captured twice. Fortunately, the soldiers left behind in Snow Rock Castle still had a certain degree of combat effectiveness. With years of field experience,
Defended the castle.
At this moment, the celebratory dinner was being held in full swing in the castle. Drinks were exchanged among each other, it was very lively.
As guests and saviors, Rhodes, Caroline, and Edmund naturally received the highest level of reception. They sat together with Lord Digel and celebrated this long-lost victory, their own victory.
Yes, no matter how glorious the victory in the Erengrad war was, it actually had little to do with them. The spoils were taken away by the queen, but the rewards were very small. The soldiers fought bloody battles on the front line. In the end, the only gain was the one on the Frost Throne.
A superior woman.
But this greenskin battle is different. This is a war that truly belongs to them. Defeat the greenskins, protect the castle, and they can dispose of prisoners of war and trophies by themselves. The Ice Queen is busy fighting another greenskin army.
I have no time to take care of the situation here. In other words, even if I do, I can't care - Snow Rock Castle is too remote.
"cheers!"
"Bros."
Digel stood up from his seat and made a quiet gesture. Everyone immediately became quiet and focused their attention on Digel again.
"Brothers, we defeated a powerful opponent. Today is a glorious day, a great day, and a common victory for all the people of Snow Rock Castle. However, what I want to say is that we must be grateful to one person, he
, risked his way into the rebel army and killed the green-skin leader. It was he who put his troops on the front line and blocked the most ferocious green-skin attack. It was he who remained unknown after the war and returned all the spoils to Xueyan
Fort." Digel paused and turned his gaze to Rhodes beside him.
This move surprised Rhodes. He originally thought that among the lords in the north, only Edmund, the lord of Binglan Castle, had general knowledge and qualified character. But today it seems that the same is true for Digel, the leader of Snow Rock Castle. He does not
Despite the slightest request, he took the initiative to take credit for the victory.
"This man is Earl Rod Lawn, Lord of Blackhammer Castle."
Digel said loudly.
"Rhode, Rhodes, Rhodes!..."
The shouts of the soldiers of Snow Rock Castle suddenly rang out in the castle hall.
Caroline on the side cast her eyes with the same joy and smile.
"Victory, this is our common victory. This victory is hard-won. If I, Rhode, were alone, I would definitely not be able to rush into the enemy formation and kill the orc leader alone. It is your efforts and your riskless fighting.
Only by holding back the large green-skinned troops did I have the opportunity to kill the green-skinned leader. Therefore, this is our common victory. We are a collective, we are brothers who share the same blood, and this victory belongs to each of us.
To all our brothers who shed their blood in the war."
Being pulled to the podium by Digel without any warning, Rhodes could only bite the bullet and give a speech. However, this was someone else's territory after all. Rhodes knew that Digel's hospitality was difficult to refuse, and he absolutely could not turn his back on the guests. He had to praise him.
A handful of Snow Rock Fort soldiers and officers present could not really admit that all the credit was theirs.
Facts have proved that this works very well. There is no trace of anger on the faces of the Snow Rock Castle soldiers. On the contrary, there is only admiration and affirmation in their eyes.
"For Lord Rhodes!"
I don't know who in the crowd shouted, and the atmosphere at the scene was ignited again. The officers raised their glasses and cheered loudly.
Roasted eggs and bread smeared with butter were constantly brought to the table. The warm fireplace was baking the room. Everyone's face revealed a warmth, and the rough skin was filled with hot blood and the stimulation of alcohol.
Next, he made all kinds of crude jokes wantonly.
…
Dennis concentrated on controlling the magic circuit. Thick ice began to form from her fingertips, and soon she held up a shield. The second before the fireball hit, the frost shield thickened to its strongest level. In an instant,
The blazing fireball split into pieces the moment it hit the ice shield, and sparks shot out. However, Dennis, who was hiding behind the ice shield, was not harmed at all.
"Wow, that's great. You've made progress again. Oh my god, Denis, you are simply the most talented magician apprentice in the history of Kislev."
Daisy came over and praised her friend with the utmost praise. In the same dormitory, although Dennis was the last to come in, he made the fastest progress. While the other friends in the dormitory were still practicing
When casting long-range spells, Dennis was already practicing close-combat magic. According to his mentor, a truly excellent wizard does not just hide behind a wall and cast long-range spells. Instead, he fights and kills the enemy in person like a battlefield officer.
.Denise remembers this sentence, however, she is still too young to have a real physical confrontation with adults.
"The most gifted is Queen Caterina."
The Grand Instructor of the Magic Academy who was walking by reminded in a low voice.
Dennis and Daisy quickly bowed their heads and said yes...
…
"Hey, have you heard? There are monsters in the basement of the college..."
On the way back to the dormitory, another friend of Dennis, Villanelle, came over, and the three of them walked side by side in the corridor of the Magic Academy, discussing the strange things that happened in the Magic Academy recently.
Villanelle and Dennis were classmates and best friends, and Daisy was Dennis's roommate and Dennis' eldest sister in the dormitory. Therefore, the two became good friends through Dennis as a matchmaker. The three of them
Studying and exploring together in the magic academy is the best trio.
Different from Daisy's stable character, Villanelle is a naughty little girl who is full of curiosity about everything. She is younger than Dennis, often wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and her light yellow hair is naturally curly.
With her small cherry mouth hanging down from her shoulders, she is very endearing. However, beneath the pure and sweet appearance, there is a heart that can never be satisfied. She is very curious, and she is so curious about all the strange things in the magic academy.
She knows all the weird things clearly. The most powerful thing is that she also knows which places in the college are forbidden areas, which places are full of mysterious and weird phenomena, which tutors in the college have their own secret laboratories, and which tutors have their own secret laboratories.
Hobbies, etc. If it weren't for the lack of magic power, she would have ventured into these places long ago.
Influenced by her, Dennis also became curious about this college. Curiosity is a common characteristic of every child, but sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing. However, young girls do not know this
point.
"What kind of monster?"
Denise asked. Her gray eyes revealed uncontrollable curiosity. The same was true for Villanelle.
"I don't know very well, but it is said to be a kind of monster that comes out at night. It has fangs and claws, and a pair of glowing eyes. It is said that the strange noise coming from the basement is caused by it."
Villanelle looked sideways and observed that there was no one around before she carefully told Dennis and Daisy what she had seen and heard. After all, the basement is also a forbidden area of the academy, and the instructors always require students to take it seriously.
They really learn what they should learn, and they never mention what they shouldn’t know, and they don’t allow students to find out the answers.
