Dear Broom Knight

#408 - Ice Dog and Wind Wolf

The Icefield Queen's status was the only thing that could make Lorry, the notoriously vindictive, ruthless, and easily impulsive Archmage, give way slightly.

It was already surprising that she could wander outside Qingfeng Valley for so long and only be completely ignored by the Qingfeng Lord, who even chose to strengthen Valera's strength.

According to that Archmage's bad temper, he should have overthrown that group of people first, and then directly rushed to the capital of the Northern Kingdom to settle accounts with the White Dragon King.

Whether he was caught by Queen Rosalind's weakness, or he was really willing to compromise for the sake of the White Dragon King, or even the interests of the Northern Kingdom, then he would probably still choose to let it go lightly this time.

That is to say, he would kill all of their Icefield people, but not go to the Icefield King and Queen to settle accounts.

Therefore, as long as they escaped quickly, the Icefield people might be able to escape with their lives, not to mention the evil adventurers who were only hired… Even if they took the initiative, they certainly couldn't be considered primarily responsible on the surface.

The Qingfeng Lord, who had relatively strict requirements for order, had a high probability of not pursuing them for thousands of miles.

As for the reward order issued… Once they passed the territory of the Dark Night and arrived in the land of wealth, who would care about the Qingfeng Lord who didn't give face to the gods?

For these desperate people, even a one-tenth chance was enough to make them take the risk, let alone such a high probability of escaping with their lives.

Of course, for them, the biggest crisis was actually confronting Valera head-on.

But if there were Icefield people in front, then they would naturally be more confident.

So, the biggest problem now is…" The bearded man lowered his voice slightly: "Your arrival, our spying, Qingfeng Lord must know.

The bearded man pondered for a while, exchanged glances with the other people, and felt that this result was acceptable.

No matter what, Bolanios was the most powerful person in this territory.

However, there was still one problem to be solved: "What about the Gale Wolves? That group of wolves will never not take action. The Qingfeng Lord almost shares the territory with them.

What we are doing is equivalent to provoking them within the wolves' alert range. Even if we are dealing with other people, they will go crazy."

The most incomprehensible thing about the Qingfeng Lord to outsiders was this.

He didn't care at all that the group of wolves patrolled around Qingfeng Territory in circles when they were idle, and they didn't greet him or cooperate with the knights.

Then, he spoiled the group of Gale Wolves.

Even a rabbit passing by on the road could have a giant wolf suddenly popping out from nowhere to check it over… Yes, not to catch it and eat it, but to check if there was something wrong with that thing, and why it dared to walk on the road.

If it was someone from the Great Cliff who suddenly appeared outside Qingfeng Valley, they would also observe them for a while.

Those patrolling knights wouldn't care about so much nosy business!

But the Gale Wolves would.

They felt that according to their patrol route, no one should have suddenly run so far without being within their observation range.

If they couldn't explain it clearly, the Gale Wolves would directly roll them up and throw them into the Public Security Office.

That Taylor, who was in charge of managing the territory's security, the youngest child of the Toler family, was able to completely ignore that the Gale Wolves had done his job and interfered with his power, and he simply and neatly sent these people to the interrogation table.

Those who had problems and could be easily caught by the Gale Wolves naturally didn't have the ability to withstand the interrogation process carefully crafted by the Archmage.

Even those adventurers who were very confident in their abilities would definitely choose to tell the truth when encountering this situation.

Indeed, enough willpower could withstand those potion arrays that made people mentally relaxed and told the truth… But they couldn't withstand the truth array that could simply judge right from wrong!

As long as the interrogator was meticulous and could ensure that there were no loopholes, basically no one could withstand it.

Instead, they would suffer so much in vain.

Everyone understood. There were indeed people like the Tiger's Blade in the adventurers who strictly followed the rules, but the Tiger's Blade was only regarded as a large adventure group because of its overall strength.

How could a real adventure group with thousands of people be as honest as the Tiger's Blade?

People who came for money would only do more for money, and would never suddenly have a conscience.

Therefore, it seemed that everyone obeyed the rules because of their fear of Lorry Montes, but in essence, who would be so convinced from the beginning!

They were all taught a lesson.

It's just that the Qingfeng Lord was really indifferent. He didn't care who the person he caught was a subordinate of, and he wouldn't use this matter to negotiate with those large adventure groups… He would directly judge them according to the territory and the Northern aristocratic laws.

But, in the so-called Northern aristocratic law, the most irreparable one was: despising the dignity of the nobles and belittling the existence of the nobles.

Even if the large adventure groups were supported by great nobles or even the royal family, if the Qingfeng Lord had enough reason to determine that someone had violated this rule, then no one could really save them.

However, generally speaking, nobles rarely used this rule to trick people, after all, everyone understood that the balance between high-level professionals and nobles had always been high and low.

The Qingfeng Lord was a very strange person.

Really strange.

No one knew what standard he used to judge that a person made him angry.

At first, some adventure groups estimated that he was for the sake of the common people, so after several incidents, they no longer sent out the kind of thugs who burned, killed, and looted in private.

But it still didn't work.

Some adventure groups even deliberately sent out assassins that they couldn't clean up themselves… These people generally assassinated many people in the righteous camp, but the Qingfeng Lord just casually threw them into the mine.

The mines in Qingfeng Territory were different from other places.

Not only was there a monorail that allowed them to use small mine carts to transport goods, without worrying about the danger of falling while carrying heavy objects, but there were also many means to assist in mining.

The quality of the tools was also very good. The toughness and strength of the mining hoe were almost comparable to the weapons of some mid-level adventurers.

And the food was also very good.

The wilderness of Qingfeng Territory could not be considered barren at all. The pigs, cattle, and sheep that the Lord raised everywhere were almost everywhere.

The mine could even slaughter a pig a day!

Although it was nothing when divided among hundreds of people, it was pork!

Ordinary adventurers didn't dare to say that they could eat pork every day.

Besides, there was plenty of rabbit meat.

On the contrary, the miners were not very willing to eat it, complaining that it made them hungry quickly.

Of course, no matter what, being a miner was a hard job, and fatigue was inevitable.

It was quite hard for ordinary people.

But for those who were born as assassins and were abandoned, it was simply a dream paradise!

What was that amount of labor?

If those big adventure groups hadn't reacted quickly enough, they would have sent a large number of good laborers who were willing to squat in the mine and die to the Qingfeng Lord.

Then, people who clearly didn't do anything, but were very good at communicating, were unhesitatingly sentenced to extreme punishment by the Lord according to the law of contempt for nobles.

Although they had long known that Lorry Montes's head was different from normal people, everyone was still quite dazed that it could be so different.

They couldn't figure it out, they couldn't play with it, what could they do except secretly scolding a crazy mage!

Did those big adventure groups really think that Hamilton's life was very good?

Although they were not afraid of the riots brought about by Leon's trouble-making physique, who would want to clean up every day for nothing!

But if they wanted to keep the Maple Leaf Badge score within the passing range, and not let their subordinates go crazy and want to increase their scores because of the environment of Qingfeng Territory and Montes Territory, they could only do that.

Only adventurers understood this pain the most.

Like them, those who once thought that the things in Qingfeng Territory were nothing more than that, and no matter how good life was, or how enjoyable the food was, they were also mentally unbalanced because they could only watch but not enjoy it in recent years?

Although there were other reasons secretly, the reality that Qingfeng Territory would never open its doors to them was indeed the reason why they were willing to accept these reasons.

People can't blame themselves for not having eyes in the first place, they can only blame the Lord for being too stubborn and too harsh.

"Barry will handle it," Rogers replied softly after a long silence to the bearded man's question, "Just pretend this thing doesn't exist."

The bearded man's eyes couldn't help but fluctuate.

The seven Ice Believers were obviously dissatisfied and didn't turn their brains, so he certainly knew Barry's origin.

But he really didn't expect that Barry was an Ice Dog… Wait…

The high-level Ice Dog who could be directly used at this time and place must be from the iceberg behind!

Isn't that the base that they adventurers have to fight every year in recent years?

What's going on… Bolanios went to that ice cave last month, which was unknown how deep and whether it directly led to the underground, to save people!

Those Ice Dogs still followed their usual style, and retreated directly when they saw him, unlike how they would directly chase and kill others to the foot of the mountain.

Although Bolanios's destructiveness and lethality were indeed too great, according to the adventurers' observations, there were more than one level 16 Ice Dog in that ice cave.

Those were all direct descendants of the Ice Dog King, and they might not completely lose to Bolanios.

But the two sides had never even confronted each other directly.

Ice Dogs, especially the Ice Dog King, were not the kind of existence that would flee without a fight in the face of a strong enemy.
