My cemetery is connected to the game world.

Chapter 317 Gift (4000)

After lunch, Paniel ordered the food to be removed and a magic chess board to be brought in, and also asked his guards to come in and watch.

As a former Level 3 Transcendental, Snow Princess Emma Rubelle naturally has her own unique understanding of spells. The mysterious Bone Crusher showed last night that his strength has reached Level 2 Transcendental, and he is also a powerful spellcaster.

Moreover, one of them is of the ice element, and the other is of the fire element, so the elements restrain each other. Anyone who knows magic can benefit from watching such a spell battle.

With Panier sitting nearby and paying full attention, it was a great opportunity to learn the pros and cons of the real Northern Lights.

The chess players place their own chess pieces on the chessboard. The center of the bottom line is the "magic core". Destroying the opponent's magic core will win. The other chess pieces are divided into shield, auxiliary, attack, and free chess. All chess pieces have a layer of basic attribute enchantment at the beginning.

Different chess pieces have different ranges of movement and travel distances. In each round, the chess player can enchant at most one chess piece.

In the first round, Helot played white chess and went first. He first enchanted his magic core with fire element. It was a courtesy of magic chess not to attack in the first round. At the same time, the magic core enchantment could create a slight advantage of the same attribute in the area controlled by oneself.

The flames rose from the magic core chess piece and spread forward until they covered half of the chessboard.

Princess Emma Rubelle also enchanted her own magic core. The power of ice and fire collided at the border, and the fierce energy collision made a "crackling" sound.

Then, Helot launched a fierce attack on Princess Emma Luberi's control area, bringing the aggressive characteristics of fire magic to full play.

Emma Lu Bailey played defense steadily, setting traps to compete in chess skills.

When different chess pieces collided with each other, the spells contained in them exploded immediately, and one chess piece after another was shattered in such a confrontation...

The onlookers were all silent, absorbed in watching the magic attacks and defenses on the chessboard.

All they saw was a contest of magical skills between the two sides, while Helot and Emma Luberi used the tacit understanding they had developed to communicate silently using the movements of chess pieces and spells combined with secret codes.

"How is your health now?"

"The injury has been suppressed, but we still can't release excessive energy."

"I'm studying bloodlines and have made a very important discovery. Maybe I can find a way to truly restore your health. But this research requires your blood, a lot of blood..."

"I give you!"

"There is one more thing. The Skovo family is showing signs of rebellion. I don't have any substantial evidence yet, but I am still collecting it."

"How is this possible? The Skovo family has always been loyal to the Erwin family."

"Maybe I'm overthinking it. Those things might have been done secretly under the instruction of your father. Anyway, don't trust the Skovo family too much. Wait for the results of my investigation."

"I'll listen to you. I don't want to marry Panil. You must take me away."

"I will take you away. The 13th Investigation Team cannot function without Officer Melissa."

"Thank you, Team Leader... I'll let you win this round."

"You don't need to give me a handicap. I can win based on my strength."

"Really? I can go all out now!"

"Great! It just so happens that I have some reservations too!"

After repeated pulling and testing at the beginning, the two chess players "unintentionally" launched a decisive battle. The confrontation on the chessboard became fierce in an instant, and the magical confrontation was dazzling to watch.

In the end, Helot made a roundabout free chess attack and destroyed the black chess's magic core, winning the game.

It also won applause.

Then the applause stopped abruptly when Princess Emma Rubelle slammed the table.

The princess said angrily: "I was careless in this game, otherwise your free chess piece would not have been able to break through my defense. In another game, I will definitely beat you."

Panier immediately stopped her and said to Emma Luberi with concern, "Your Highness, your body has just recovered. You must not over-consume your magic power. Before our wedding, the Bone Crusher will stay in the castle. We can wait until your magic power recovers before playing the next game of chess."

Helot was also worried about Emma Luberi's health: "Your Highness's chess skills made me feel the threat of the polar plateau. This victory was indeed a lucky one. I will stay in the Snow Castle and play chess at any time when Your Highness calls me. This is the best preparation for me before I go to the polar plateau."

"Okay! After dinner, I'll play another game with you." Emma Lu Bailey made an appointment with Helot, and then said to Panier: "Playing chess is probably the best entertainment to kill time. You also need to practice chess skills, so that you can accompany me through this long year..."

Panier, who had never beaten Emma Lu Bailey on the chessboard since childhood, couldn't help but smile awkwardly: "I will definitely practice more."

"I'll go back to my room to rest. Even though there's a heater, it's still a little cold.

See you at dinner, Bonecrusher!"

Helot stood up and saluted: "See you at dinner, Your Highness!"

Princess Emma Rubelle left, and the other people also wisely walked out of the restaurant. The servant brought two cups of tea to Panier and Helotte and then left.

Now Paniel has determined that the strength of the wizard in front of him is at least the third level of extraordinary.

Because the magic pressure last night has proved that he has very deep reserves of magic energy. He was able to defeat a genius like Princess Emma Rubelle in a game of magic chess just now. Even if there was an element of luck involved, it was enough to show his solid magic foundation and superb magic application skills.

A Level 2 or even Level 3 Transcendent Mage in an army is not just a spell turret. His value in improving the overall strength of the army is far greater than that of a single mage.

Although the Skovo family also has the Northern Lights bloodline, it is a weakened version and their control over ice and snow is far inferior to that of the Elvin family.

Innate disadvantages need to be compensated by acquired factors.

"Bonebreaker, I know you want to be loyal to the Ice and Snow Family, but I still hope you can give the Skovo Family a chance, that is, give me a chance." Panier said sincerely, "With me, you don't need to hunt down cold monsters to prove your strength. I can give you honor and wealth directly."

Panil is hungry for talent.

Helot was unmoved: "Master Panier, thank you for your appreciation of me. But going deep into the polar regions to hunt down the cold monster is a test I give myself. Finding the warmest fire in the coldest place is not something that can be achieved in one polar adventure. I am ready to spend twenty or thirty years training myself.

The support that the Erwin family can give me is something that the Skovo family cannot give me."

Panier understood...

The Elvin family is high and mighty. They wield the coldest power and fight against the cold demons all the time.

The Skovo family was protected by the Elvin family in Snow City, and in the eyes of the other party, they had no strength and no value.

It's like the contrast between ice and snow.

"Bonebreaker, I will make you change your opinion of the Skovo family." Paniel's words seemed to have a hint of meaning.

Helot laughed and said, "I hope you are right. When will your wedding with Her Royal Highness the Princess be held? I don't want to delay it too long."

"Soon, the wedding will be held in three days!"

three days?

So fast!
Time is a bit tight... "I'll wait for three days." Helot stood up: "Lunch is over, I will go back to my residence to meditate, thank you for your hospitality."

Panier said: "The barracks are too simple. I have arranged a room for you in the main castle."

Helot refused and said, "No matter how simple the barracks are, they are better than camping on the ice. Living too comfortably will weaken my willpower. If Master Panier really wants to take care of me, please don't let the man in the white cloak follow me. I wanted to kill him several times!"

It turned out that the snow monster that was sent had been discovered long ago. Paniel smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm just worried about your safety. Master Bonebreaker, you are so powerful that you definitely don't need guards. I'll let him leave immediately and I promise not to send anyone else."

"Great! Next time I find someone following me, I can just kill them?"

Panier smiled awkwardly again: "Of course!"

"Goodbye, Master Panil."

"Goodbye, Bonebreaker."

Helot left the main castle and returned to his simple barracks. The slave York Red was squatting in the snow outside the door.

Three days later, the wedding took place.

But Helot's intuition reminded him that this wedding was definitely not as simple as he had imagined.

Ensure Melissa's safety first, then consider other things...

Talk to her in detail over dinner and chess.

Helot sat on the straw bed and fell into meditation.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a slight sound from the door and a bat flew in through the crack in the door.

Then it became Brescia.

"Master, I found the thorn boar village. I also discovered that they not only guarded an ice lake, but also a cave leading to the underground magma."

Helot opened his eyes: "Are you sure it leads to the magma of the underground fire?"

"Sure! I followed a group of Northern Frontier people into the cave and saw the magma. There were many slaves captured by the Tribulus Wild Boar Village. They were mining ore with a group of chained armored bears."

Brishney gained a lot from this investigation!
It was understandable that the Wild Boar Village captured the people of Northern Frontier as slaves, but why did they enslave the armored bears? Putting chains on the armored bears meant that they were not subdued, and the bandits of the Wild Boar Village did not defeat the armored bears one-on-one.

Neither the Armored Bear Clan nor the Duke of Ice and Snow would allow this situation to happen.

What does the Tribulus Wild Boar Village want to do?
What do they do with the ore?
"Braceny!"

"Master, what do you want me to do?"

"Continue to investigate the Tribulus Wild Boar Village and the lava field to find out where the ore is being transported and what these bandits are making."

"Yes, Master."

Brishney turned into a bat and slipped out through the gap in the door again.

Helot opened the door and it was already dark outside.

The closer you are to the poles, the night comes early!
Helot remembered the agreement with Melissa, kicked York Red, and then walked towards the main castle on the snow.

When York Red caught up, Helot asked, "Have many villages been attacked by bandits in recent years?"

"A lot!" York Hong replied angrily, "Before our village was attacked, many villages near us were attacked."

"No village to defend?"

York Hong said helplessly: "Some villages have fought off bandits, but more bandits will come soon."

Helot gave Yorkhong some money and said, "Go out and find the Northern Frontier people's ice house outside the city and ask about the whereabouts of the robbers. Which direction, location, and how many robbers there are, try to find out as much as possible."

"Yes, Master."

York Red took the coin and walked out of the castle.

Helot walked to the restaurant of the main castle, only to be told that... Master Panier had an urgent matter to deal with and felt sorry for not being able to share dinner with the Bonebreaker.

"Since Master Panier is not here, I won't bother you."

Just as Helot was about to leave, Emma Lu Bailey walked in: "Panel is not here, but I am. We agreed to play wizard chess tonight. If you leave, who should I play with?
Sit down and eat!"

"Follow the orders of Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Helot had no choice but to stay.

Emma Lu Bailey sat opposite Helot and clapped her hands, and the servants quickly brought the prepared dinner to the table.

Very simple, toast, bacon, fried fish, grilled sausages and eggs.

Emma Lu Bailey said: "I am different from Panier. I don't like luxurious life. In fact, Panier also liked this kind of simple food before, but later he became more and more fond of gorgeousness and extravagance."

Helot recalled that when he first met Melissa, her life was like an ascetic. Even when she bought some clothes for the house, they were very simple, and she didn't look like a duke's daughter or an imperial princess at all.

Looking here, the restaurant is decorated magnificently.

There were only three of us at lunch, and the chef cooked enough food to cover the entire table.

Helot understood Melissa's hint that the nobility's dignity was built on money. In a place like the Northern Frontier, even the duke's children had to dig potatoes in the warm season. How could you, the son of a marquis, live so comfortably?
There is definitely something wrong with the Skovo family, but what is the root of the problem?

While Helot was having dinner with Princess Emma Rubelle and playing magic chess, Parma was standing respectfully on the edge of a lava pool.

The red light of the magma illuminated his front, and his huge shadow was cast on the wall of the cave.

Inside the hot magma, there was a person sitting in the middle as if he was taking a hot spring bath. His skin was copper-colored, he had no hair or eyebrows, and his eyes were flame-red.

"Ah..." The man in the magma cried out in comfort: "If it weren't for the Bloody Rebellion, the Duke of Ice and Snow betrayed his brothers, the underground magma should have been the holiday resort of our Chiyan family.

The activity of the fire element here can probably only be compared to volcanic eruptions, but volcanic eruptions are not so constant.

After the Ice and Snow Family is wiped out, I will lead the new Red Flame Family to move to the Earth Fire Magma, and the entire Northern Frontier will be ruled by the Red Flame Family. "

Panier said: "We have prepared everything. I also hope that the prisoner can keep your promise to me and give me the real Aurora bloodline. The Skovo family will become the new ice and snow family."

"Of course, since the Executioner can recreate the Red Flame Family, he can create a new Ice and Snow Family. Isn't Princess Emma Lubeli's bloodline our gift to you?"
