Master Tongtian

Most of the northern border is coniferous forest. Except for the giant trees in the forest, there are very few small plants on the ground.

So the field of view is quite broad.

With the faint moonlight, the area within 50 to 60 meters around Rosen was basically unobstructed.

He followed the Neverwinter Apostle all the way with a distance of five or six meters, and gradually entered the depths of the mountain forest.

After walking for more than an hour, the Neverwinter apostle suddenly stopped, pointed at a huge rock in front of him, and said softly: "There is a situation ahead, come and hide here."

After saying that, she hid behind the stone first. After thinking about it, Rosen followed and hid beside the boulder.

The boulder was located at the top of the slope, and there was a huge slope in front of it. The unusual movement came from the bottom of the slope, about seventy or eighty meters away from the two of them.

Through the cracks in the rocks, Rosen vaguely saw two figures appearing at the bottom of the slope.

By zooming in on the adventure log, Rosen roughly saw the target clearly.

The figure is very short, only about 1.5 meters, but very strong. The thickness of his arms is almost as thick as Rosen's waist.

It felt like if he was hit by this thing without defense, it could kill him directly.

The two stocky figures were not idle. One after the other, they were carrying a large log that was at least 30 centimeters thick and seven or eight meters long.

The two of them made chirping sounds as they walked, seemingly chatting, but they spoke a language that Rosen could not understand at all.

When the other party came to the nearest place, Rosen squinted his eyes and took a closer look, and found that in this cold winter night, the two of them were wearing nothing, leaving their bodies exposed to the biting cold wind.

It was precisely because the other party was in such a frank state that Rosen was able to clearly see their body structure.

Apart from being unusually strong and having an extremely pale complexion, the details of his body are no different from those of ordinary people. He also has two hands and feet plus a head, five fingers on both hands and feet, and a dangling strip of meat around his waist.

But even though they are all humanoid, anyone can tell that they belong to different races just by looking at them.

Just like Homo sapiens and Neanderthals on Earth, there are obvious differences.

The two walked very quickly and were far away in a short while.

Without waiting for Rosen to ask, Apostle Neverwinter had already taken the initiative to explain.

"Ice dwarves, also called ice demons, come from the frost land north of the Snow Mountains. As for why they appear here, it is unknown."

The Land of Frost is said to be several times colder than the North. Most of the area is covered with ice and snow all year round. Except for fish in the sea and moss on the ice sheet, there is absolutely nothing to eat.

It is no wonder that residents who can survive in such a ghost place can ignore the cold wind in the north.

The Neverwinter Apostle asked softly: "Follow me and have a look?"

Rosen pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

The two of them followed quietly under the cover of the trees.

While following, Rosen kept paying attention to the status of the Sun Seal, for fear of being attacked by the apostles of Neverwinter.

After following for about a quarter of an hour, a steep highland appeared ahead.

The main body of this highland is a huge rock in the shape of a turtle's back. One side of the turtle's back is broken, forming a steep cliff of at least fifty meters.

On the other side, a tall wall was built with thick logs, blocking all the ways to climb the rock.

In the flat land above the highlands, you can see many low thatched huts, one connected to the other, densely packed, some large and some small. At first glance, they look like the cemetery of the earth.

The two ice dwarves carried the logs and walked as fast as the wind. After a while, they reached the top of the rock. Then many ice dwarves came out of the hut, took the logs, and built them against the wooden wall.

Rosen carefully observed the wooden wall and found that the logs were not the main body of the wall, but existed like scaffolding. Behind the logs, a large number of square boulders could be seen stacked together.

Looking at the stone wall, most of it has not yet been formed, but a small part of it has been completed.

The stone wall is 10 meters high and more than 3 meters wide. The gaps are filled with clay, connecting the entire stone wall together.

Rosen was shocked when he saw it: "They are actually building a fortress."

The Neverwinter Apostle didn't show any surprise on his face, he seemed to be used to it.

"Looking at the number of shacks, there are at least 1,500 ice dwarves, almost as many as the residents of Yuehui Town."

This number is quite astonishing, because although there are 2,000 people in Yuehui Town, they include the elderly, the weak, women and children.

The more than 1,500 people in front of them are most likely strong warriors. If a fight breaks out, even if Yuehui Town can withstand it, the losses will be very heavy.

What is even more shocking is that these ice dwarves obviously do not intend to attack by force, but instead build a fortress deep in the mountains and forests.

Once the fortress is completed, it will be a nail that will be extremely difficult to remove.

"This is very scary. We need to take this news back immediately!"

Rosen retreated along the original path and took a few steps, only to see the Apostle of Neverwinter still standing there without moving.

His heart tightened: "What do you want to say?"

The Neverwinter Apostle smiled slightly.

"You have also seen that the aliens have invaded the Huangshui Highlands and are powerful. If this news is sent back to Silver Moon Castle, a war will definitely break out."

Rosen's heart moved and he understood.

"The King of Neverwinter is a god born in response to war. When a war breaks out, he can quickly regain his strength."

"Yes, my lord is the God of War, and this is the edge of the Golden Land. When war breaks out, my lord's power will return to its peak."

"Now that the power of the Golden God is gradually weakening, it is very likely that his lifespan has come to an end. When he dies, my Lord will be the Lord of the North, and you who help the Lord achieve great things will also receive supreme glory."

This is really attractive.

But Rosen is not an ignorant novice. Even he has a lot of understanding about extraordinary beings.

"Most likely? In other words, you are not sure why the Golden God is weak?"

The Apostle of Neverwinter stagnated.

"I also heard that gods also have strengths and weaknesses. The power of a strong god can easily crush a weak god. The Golden God is the most powerful god in the world. Even if it declines, it will be easy to deal with your master, right?"

Apostle Neverwinter pursed his lips: "It seems you don't plan to follow my lord."

"Are you planning to take action?"

Rosen backed away slowly, planning to run away with all his strength.

The Neverwinter Apostle shook his head.

"There is no need, even if you don't believe in my Lord. You will send the news of the ice dwarf invasion back to Silver Moon Castle, and the war will definitely still break out, right?"

Rosen nodded: "That's right."

"Mage, the master has endless lifespan and infinite patience. It doesn't matter if you didn't think about it for a moment."

"One day, the facts will prove what the master says, and at that time, based on your vision, you will naturally still serve the master, right?"

Rosen smiled faintly: "If the King of Neverwinter can really predict the fall of the Golden God, then I will naturally surrender to him without hesitation."

"Let time tell everything."

The Neverwinter Apostle slowly retreated, and a voice floated in the wind.

"Mage, my master will rise again in this war, and I hope you can get the glory you want in this war."

As soon as the words fell, the figure of the Neverwinter apostle completely disappeared into the darkness.

Rosen's heart moved when he heard this: "Haha~it's actually a conspiracy."

I have to say, this is indeed a rare opportunity.

Should we hurry up?

necessary!

Then tell Count Sophia the whole truth?

Of course not, you must say it selectively and skillfully.

Rosen had no real loyalty to the Earl of Silver Moon Castle.

In other words, he will never be truly loyal to any superior.

Not because he enjoys betrayal, but because he understands the nature of how power works.

There is no absolute power in this world. Its essence is a cooperation contract between the superior and the inferior.

Since it is cooperation, it must be mutually beneficial.

In the age of lords, loyalty was not actually noble, let alone sacred. It was just an ideological tool invented by the superiors to restrain the inferiors.

Of course, the inferiors were not willing to be restrained, and also invented a series of virtues such as 'kindness, generosity, and generosity' to restrain the superiors.

To the earl, Rosen was inferior.

Verbally, he must declare that he is loyal, because only by saying so can he gain the earl's trust, but he must not let the concept of 'loyalty' constrain his thoughts.

For example, right now, what best suits Count Sophia's interests is for Rosen to tell her all the details and let her make the decision.

But if he does this, Rosen will not get the maximum benefit, and he may also have an evil halo around him, which will alienate people who don't know the inside story.

What he has to do is to seize the opportunity of the war, take the opportunity to establish meritorious deeds, and seek the best interests for himself.

Therefore, he planned to let this little episode of Neverwinter Apostle rot in his stomach.

Thinking of this, he turned around and walked back along the original path.

After wandering all the way, when I returned to the room, it was already 10 o'clock in the night.

Lying on the floor, I felt my legs were sore and weak, but I had no intention of resting because I hadn't finished my magic yet.

Close your eyes and do the ‘Lord of the Universe’ meditation as usual.

The mind slowly penetrates into the sea of ​​consciousness, enters the first perspective of the Lord of the Universe, quietly visualizes the cosmic ball wrapped by the Godhead film, feels the power of the universe passing through the Godhead, and integrates into the body of one's soul bit by bit.

I have been doing this meditation for over a month and so far it has been amazingly effective and has not caused any problems.

But something was wrong tonight.

The golden light spot in the Godhead trembled slightly, and then, a trace of power escaped from the golden light spot, as if a hole appeared in the Godhead film.

Rosen was startled: ‘What is going on? ’

He continued to meditate and carefully observed the manifestation of the golden points of light.

As the meditation ground continues to deepen, the golden light spot trembles more and more obviously, and the more power it loses, until it reaches about one-tenth of the total meditation power, and then it finally stabilizes.

The cosmic godhead program on the desktop sent a message flow: ‘We found abnormal power resonance, should we cut it off? ’

"Wait a minute, forget it."

The memories of the past combined with today's encounters made him think of a possibility.

Maintaining this bond of power would cost him basically nothing, but it might be someone's life-saving straw.
