Chapter 45: Fisherman Can Catch Everything Except Fish
Morningfrost Ridge.

Under the stable, a white-haired old man wearing old plate armor sat on a wooden chair, patiently wiping the sword in his hand with cotton cloth.

"Lord Phocas!"

The girl with pigtails walked over with a reindeer, attracting the curious eyes of passers-by, and said happily:
"I learned the spell 'Cavalry Bond' and can use the reindeer as my mount!"

Hearing this, Phocas smiled slightly and said, "Yes, come to the training ground another day and I will teach you some more knightly skills."

Lotta nodded vigorously and said, "I saw Rigidreve on the way here. She is so powerful. She has already learned several druid spells. I may not be able to defeat her."

It is not surprising that Regislove, a child with a goblin as her magic mentor and a close affinity with nature, grows up so quickly.

More importantly, she seemed to be holding back some anger, and wanted to wait for the lord to come back and prove herself.

Fokasi did not say it clearly, but just touched Lotta's head like an elder, and in a trance he saw Yeats standing in front of him.

The young master has been away for nearly a week. I don't know how he is doing, whether he is cold...

During the time when Ye Zhi was away from Morning Frost Ridge, the population of the village increased further, and a group of refugees who claimed to have seen the lord settled here.

The gradual growth of the militia, coupled with the presence of three extraordinary people, Lotta, Regirev, and Fokas, has made the self-defense capability of Morning Frost Ridge comparable to that of a town-level fiefdom.

But in the final analysis, both the cold wave and the beast tide are problems that need to be faced urgently.

Phocas unconsciously fell into deep thought. Lotta looked at the empty stable behind him and said curiously:

"Why can't I see Radish? It seems like it's running out of the village every day these past two days?"

"Maybe it's the estrus season."

Phocas lowered his head to wipe the one-handed sword and said:

"Morning Frost Ridge can't find a suitable breeding horse for Roland's warhorse for now, so I let it run in the Morning Frost territory to slow down its movement by consuming its physical strength."

Rota suddenly realized, "I see. But it should be easy to find a stallion, right?"

Fukas: "It's not that simple. Radish seems to be very picky."

After all, as Roland's warhorse, Luobo may have inherited the Roland people's romantic tradition.

Of course, this was not appropriate to be said in front of Lota, so Fokasi asked her to take the reindeer to the training ground first, and then took out a ball of wool from his backpack.

"I forgot to knit a woolen hat for the young master last time."

Phokas murmured, "Let's start tonight."

……

That night.

Ye Zhi and his two companions caught up with the caravan stationed next to an icy lake.

Lena did not ask about the whereabouts of the three people, but simply held a banquet to welcome them.

The moonlight is bright and clear.

Yeats decided to test his new talent, so he borrowed a fishing rod from Lena and went to the lake.

This naturally formed ice lake is located between the mountains. A bright moon is reflected in the center of the lake, while the surrounding snow-capped mountains are shrouded in the cold night.

Ye Zhi summoned two magical pets and let them play aside by themselves.

The snowy owl squinted its eyes and looked down at the snow leopard playing on the ground.

The little snow leopard was seen chasing its tail in circles, and accidentally slipped and fell on its back with its belly exposed and an innocent look in its eyes.

"Gu!" The Snowy Owl shook its head repeatedly, expressing its dissatisfaction.

Since you are the master's magical pet, you should study magic seriously like me.

Play? When you grow up, you will have plenty of time to play!
Ye Zhi was stunned when he heard the inner voice.

My owl is really strict!
The Snowy Owl’s idea is simple. If it doesn’t want to be eaten, it must become stronger. The way to become stronger is to study magic.

And the snow leopard must keep up with his progress to be qualified to become his partner!
To this end, it looked sharp, spread its wings, and dived towards the snow leopard. The snow leopard was frightened and jumped more than one meter high on the spot, narrowly avoiding it.

But the snowy owl kept flying around it, and the snow leopard had nowhere to go, so it opened its mouth and spit out a stream of cold air that turned into an ice blade.

boom!
The ice blade was easily defeated by the snowy owl's wings.

The Snowy Owl raised its yellow eyes and nodded coldly:

"Gu!" Not bad, let's stop here for today. It turns out that Teacher Snow Owl pretended to attack me so that I could learn magic!

The snow leopard's blue eyes were filled with emotion, and he nodded and said, "Woo!"

Thank you, Teacher Snowy Owl!

Ye Zhi: “…”

Wow, I saw my pet training a pet!
Perhaps because of the tiredness from the training just now, the little snow leopard lay on the ice, panting, with his eyelids slowly closing.

The Snowy Owl flapped its wings and stopped in front of it, tilting its head and saying, "Gu?"

You're a magical creature, right?
The snow leopard looked up blankly: "Woo?"

What do you mean?
The Snowy Owl's eyes sparkled: "Gu!"

Magical creatures don't need to sleep, right!
Snow Leopard: o(╥﹏╥)o
Goddess of Winter, this owl is so scary!

While the two magical pets were playing, Ye Zhi calmly cast his fishing rod. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Gray sitting in the grass behind him, reading a book with great interest.

As a guard, Gray would follow the lord even if he went out fishing late at night.

"What are you looking at?" Yeats asked.

"I borrowed a copy of the Northern County Kingdom's Code from Miss Lena." Gray said with a smile, "Although there are many parts that I don't understand, I will definitely not go wrong if I memorize them first!"

Ye Zhi was slightly stunned.

Although Grey's IQ is often low, she can make up for it with hard work.

Grey really paid a lot to stand up for the law!

"It's not enough to just memorize the code of the Kingdom of Northshire," Ye Zhi said. "There are three kingdoms in the North. You should also remember the codes of the Kingdom of Beasts and the Kingdom of Ice Sea."

Gray shouted, "I'm reciting it, I'm reciting it!"

At this moment, Ye Zhi was slightly startled and felt that he had hooked something, and it was a big one.

【Ice Fisherman】 His talent took effect, and Ye Zhi dragged the catch to the shore with skill. Fishing at night, the light was dim, and it was difficult to tell what kind of creature it was.

Ye Zhi asked Gray to help check, and she walked forward reluctantly.

Suddenly, Gray screamed, "Ah!"

"What is it?" Ye Zhi's voice also carried a hint of uneasiness.

"Bones!" Gray's voice trembled, "It seems like you have caught a corpse!"

Yeats:?
Fishermen can catch anything except fish, right?

The combined courage of the two people is not as great as that of the Valkyrie. Following Yeats' urgent call for help, Hildreth walked to the ice lake in the moonlight.

She released the Dancing Light Technique, and the rising ball of light illuminated the human body in a tattered gray robe, with only a skeleton left. She calmly distinguished:
"Judging from his attire... he's probably a missionary from the Church of Holy Light."

"Missionary?" Gray swallowed, "Why is he in this lake!?"

"People in the North are extremely hostile to missionaries. It is common for people in the North to kill missionaries when they see them passing by."

Hildre said calmly: "This lake is very suitable for disposing of corpses."

Yeats had mixed feelings.

Friends who often kill people should know that it is easy to kill someone but difficult to dispose of the body!

"Oh?" Hildreth searched for the missionary's belongings and took out a swollen book from the inside of his gray robe. He was a little surprised, "There is something left."

"Books are often related to knowledge and beliefs. The murderer probably stayed because he didn't want to be implicated," Yeats said.

Hildes nodded and handed the book to Ye Zhi: "Here."

Ye Zhi was stunned.

"The treasure you caught should belong to you," said Hildreth.

Ye Zhi had a strange look on his face. He lowered his head to look at the book and actually saw a series of prompts on the panel.

"Ice Sea Saga (fragment): An epic poem that records the Ice Sea Kingdom. It is said that the complete epic contains clues to the Ice Sea treasure. Reading effect: Master the 'Northern language'."

Ye Zhi: “…”

It’s actually a treasure!
