Witch Forest Friends Club

"During the reign of Atera VIII, he gave Porfirio the power to command the kingdom's frontier army in order to suppress the three border princes who were becoming more and more powerful."

"After Wang Yan's lion's iron hooves defeated the Gorts and conquered the Rexxar Mountains, his reputation reached the height of the sky."

"What's even more frightening is that Altai VIII trusts his only son without reservation. Their father and son undoubtedly have the ambition to unify the peninsula, but the growing kingship is imminent for the three border princes. threat."

"After all, if Lion Wang Yan wants to make the Northern Expedition, he must do both land and sea. He needs to solve the problem of long supply lines and financial resources, and have a solid rear."

"But will the border princes have one heart with the royal family of Altera?" Princess Tini pointed out the core contradiction. "In this case, what will the king do?"

"The king wants to attack the border nobles." Anjaye looked up at the gradually darkening sky, and heard the desolate cry of waterfowl from time to time, as if some of their companions had just died from the hunting of the river monster. "And the vassals headed by the three border princes will never surrender power."

She should have thought about it earlier, the outbreak of the conflict between Wenland's feudal kingship and the princes did not just evolve according to the historical laws summarized in the previous life-in this world dominated by extraordinary power, the Oga royal family was born in the Wang Yan lion so invincible The hero, of course, is eager to climb to a higher peak, and bring all the territories that look around into control.

"Thank you, Your Highness, you have inspired me." Anjaye felt as if she had fallen into a cave of ice, she stared at Princess Tini, swallowing her saliva unconsciously, "Porfirio will not confront the Academy head-on, but he will seize Take every opportunity to unite the divided country under the banner of the king."

No wonder Princess Tini was sure—Porfirio would accept the old wolf's gauntlet.

As long as Oga completes the domestic integration, the power balance of the secular regime in the entire peninsula will undergo earth-shaking changes, coupled with the blending of Star Cult forces—the peninsula, which has maintained a balance for more than 100 years because of the guarding of the Academy The order of the nations is about to be challenged by the lion's minions.

Mrs. Stella and Sleeping Witch Rosella have been silent for too long, so long that some people have forgotten the origin of the ten covenants—perhaps they simply rely on something behind them, so that they dare to challenge the majesty of the two legends!

Ke Xuegong is on the table, must abide by the covenant made by his wife, and must not intervene in the internal struggles of the secular country.

On the other hand, on Oga's side, the king would not have the right to forcibly deprive his vassals of their territories by military force, but the old wolf——created an excuse for Porfirio's armed intervention.

The Academy took the initiative to detonate this dark mine, and what method will it use to intervene in Oga's internal strife?

Anjaye recovered from the long thought, and Princess Tini didn't seem to care about her silence, just calmly waiting for the girl's next move.

In Anjaye's perception - this princess is obviously just a canary lost in the dense fog of the peninsula, but she has a complete map in front of her eyes, and she has a clear understanding of the situation.

map?

Anjaye was startled inwardly.

She took out a roll of maps from her pocket, not the official map of the Academy, but the set that Ronan gave her——

"I should have thought of that."

Compared with the sheepskin map of the Academy, which mainly records the topography of the peninsula and the pilgrimage route—an important difference of Ronan's map is that it roughly divides the current administrative regions of the kingdom.

It turns out that the real clue given by the bard is on this map.

When Her Royal Highness saw Anjaye spreading out the map of the Oga Kingdom on the deck and splicing it into a complete kingdom map, her eyes became more and more interesting.

"The fog tide is approaching. Assuming that the three border masters will start a border hunt in the name of resisting the 'fog disaster', and secretly seek an alliance with the help of the school, and they can join hands to resist the threat of royal power."

Anjaye pointed to the vast territorial road in the south of Lenghu Lake.

"And among them, the status of the Lenghu Territory is even more important."

"The Cold Lake Territory is located between the Black Marsh Territory and the Shiwan Territory. It is rich in products and has a vast territory. Although the Black Marsh leader has a strong military force, it is not rich in food. It needs to be transported from Cold Lake. Materials for manufacturing and maintaining the fleet and ore trade , is also largely affected by the transportation routes of Lenghu—while Shiwan Territory is closer to the royal family's territory, and is constrained by the kingdom's defenders."

"If Porfirio is really as brave and decisive as the rumors say, he won't let the three border princes join forces to delay his pace of integrating national power and conquering the peninsula. If he wants to start, he will definitely choose to attack Cold Lake directly."

"If the Lenghu Territory falls, it will be tantamount to isolating the Black Marsh Territory and the Shiwan Territory, leaving them vulnerable to enemies, and can only be manipulated by the king."

Anjaye is sure that the next destination of the tour, Fanna's hometown - will inevitably set off a bloody vortex that swallows countless lives.

If the Academy wants to secretly stop Wang Yanshi, the Lenghu Territory must be preserved—the question is what happened inside the Lenghu Territory, which will make the Marshall family look vacillating?

Judging from the act of forcing Fanna to go home—the border uncle of Lenghu seems to want to cut off the connection with the academy, even ignoring the threat of Wang Yanshi—that Gambino finally took such a fierce expulsion. The strategy of swallowing wolves.

"Miss An has sharp eyes. If you choose Cold Lake as the battlefield, then Porfirio will surely overwhelm you. That's why I'm worried about whether you have enough means to win on the stage. But with your confidence in the academy, Thinking about it, I’m just being mediocre.”

Princess Tini stood up leisurely, and extended her right hand gracefully to Anjaye: "I originally thought that witches were mostly idealists who were obsessed with extraordinary power and ignored changes in the world. I didn't expect you to be so sensitive to worldly disputes."

The exchange between Princess Tini and the captain made the Dandelion team who were watching look at each other in dismay.

Unexpectedly, their understanding of the domestic situation in Oga was not as good as that of a foreigner who came thousands of miles away.

"His Royal Highness is the one who is admirable." An Jiaye also held the princess's hand and stood up with her help, "You are worthy of being the treasure of Sade."

In this round of question and answer, the princess did sell her a favor, warning her about the source of the core conflicts she will face next during her trip to Cold Lake—and this is also a hint that Tini Antonio has a deep understanding of her situation. I hope that the Dandelion Squad, which is responsible for guarding her, can try to find a space for cooperation with her after considering the benefits and losses.

It seems that during the three days of being a prisoner, Her Royal Highness really settled down and thought about her own future.It is conceivable that she is not reconciled to the fate of marrying a distant peninsula and being reduced to a pawn.

Anjaye's evaluation of Sade Rose has once again climbed to a higher level.

This is not a false flower that can be broken by others.

Her thorn is not the sword kept by Elsa, but hidden in her mind and soul—some kind of power that makes the little witch feel sorry for each other.

"Yes." Elsa's almost substantive eyes wandered between Anjaye and the princess with deep meaning, "It's a pity to be a canary in the court, Your Highness might as well come and be a witch with us. "

When "Canary" was mentioned in her words, Her Royal Highness's eyes dimmed.

"Your Highness must not be defiled by you cunning heretics!"

Lilian, the female officer who had been listening quietly, immediately expressed her objection: "The Star Cult is a pillar of faith in the territory of Sade. If His Highness becomes a witch, where will the Antonio family be placed!"

"Just kidding." Elsa smiled and covered the kitten's mouth. The black and white Rubik's cube in her pupils enlarged and then shrunk strangely. "But as a loyal servant, Miss Lilian, everything depends on the princess's choice, doesn't it?"

At this point in the conversation, smart people who can feel the seriousness of the situation are unknowingly depressed.

"Has everyone stopped playing?"

Only a heartless guy like Bunty is still indulging in fun, "Sister Gloria, let's continue to play a few rounds with Lance and Bill."

"Go on, I don't want to lose to a big mushroom." Well, there are also optimists like the wild woman.

"Xiao An." Goliath invited with great enthusiasm, "After dinner, can you teach me how to play two sets?"

"You can find someone else to play with. After dinner, I have something to think about."

Anjaye returned to the small room in the cabin. For her, it was no longer the time to play cards with peace of mind.

During the uneventful voyage, another two days passed.

During this period, Anjaye and His Royal Highness Tini had long conversations in the company of the mist in the river from time to time, and they felt like seeing each other for a long time.

So much so that the kitten who was always by Anjaye's side was jealous, afraid that the rose of Sade would take away the little mushroom's soul, and would sleep next to Anjaye every night.

"I don't want to wake up in the middle of the night and see Xiao An sneaking into the room of some great beauty."

In this regard, Anjaye could only endure the harassment of the kitten when it was sleeping.

When the sky is not bright.

The little witches who were still in their dreams were suddenly awakened by the loud and long sound of horns.

They came to the deck shrouded in darkness one after another, and the witchcraft lamps lit by the starlight technique turned into a large group of dotted fireflies, floating around the hull.

When the surroundings were illuminated by the magic starlight, Anjaye saw Fanna, who had been closed for many days, was already standing on the bow of the boat. The loneliness hidden in the girl's back was like a stray migratory bird, longing to return. Township.

The fleet had already left the Feilengcui River at this time, and along a gentle and wide tributary, slowed down and sailed towards an arched bridge-shaped mountain. Through the throat of the giant water monster.

"This is the famous 'Throat of the Cold Lake' - 'Gateway to Nice'!"

Jana, who ran to the bow, was so moved that she pointed to the exit of the cave ahead.

Elsa held up the memory shell in her hand that had been dyed from pure white to colorful light.

As the girls' vision brightened, the densely packed sails of the fleet began to swell again.

The endless surface of the lake is green and flat like a water mirror covering the earth.Under the smoky mirror surface, there seems to be an ancient mirage described in mythology lurking. The mirage that breathes in and out, weaves dreamlike clouds through the lake.

In the silence, only Bunty's cheers could be heard, waking up the pilgrims from their intoxication.

Dozens of pairs of tense or drowsy eyes reflected the most famous lake view on the peninsula.

"We're at Cold Lake!"

PS: The trip to Cold Lake is about to begin!Let the recommended tickets and monthly tickets come more violently like a storm!

Chapter 71 Will the sad legend of Cold Lake be sung by future generations of witches?

The so-called legends are mostly fabricated stories, and what people tell are often lies left by history.Mushrooms do not need legends, they are older than human beings, and only the Creator has the ability to create legends for them. ——"Ankaye's Chat Notes"

In the misty day of the morning light, the girls once again gathered in the deck cargo box area - a corner dedicated to the Dandelion team.

Listening to the soothing melody of the bagpipes and being in this beautiful fairyland on the lake, it seems that the arduous adventures before have all turned into nightmares in a lifetime in the peaceful time accompanied by music and magic fighting cards.

Not to mention the calm Princess Tini, even Lilian, who had been gloomy and uneasy after being captured, looked cheerful.

Accompanied by a burst of happy children's screams, the water spray from the fountain rising high from the ship's side just splashed on Bunty, who was playing Magic Dou with Lance.

"Amanda!"

The little lynx, who was killed by Lance's taunting trap card, was a little unconscious after losing, and was drenched by the waves so that the braids could wring out of the water, and a bluestone crab waving its pincers was crawling on its head.

She was so angry that she directly pulled out her wand, leaned her head on the side of the boat, and used all kinds of witchcraft to ejaculate passionately with the mischievous Liushuiling in the lake. The splash and high-pressure water that Amanda set off made a drowned cat.

After arriving at Cold Lake, Ronan's Flowing Water Spirit was so excited that a little witch was staying on the side of the boat and was suddenly wet by the waves. It must be that Amanda was going crazy.

For this reason, many pilgrims who were recruited all complained to Ronan, but the bard couldn't control his flowing water spirit, so he could only apologize honestly, which led to the mischievous water on the "Grey Shrike". War breaks out from time to time.

Bunty, who was beaten down and slipped on the deck, happened to see the wine bottles piled up in the cargo box, and a treacherous smile immediately appeared on her face. "Amanda, I admit defeat, what do you think this is?"

She picked up a large bottle of wine and unscrewed the cork, and poured cheap schnapps into the lake—Liu Shuiling, who was still making faces at her while floating on the waves, was immediately attracted by the smell of the wine, and licked his little tongue Swimming over, an intoxicated smile appeared on his translucent face.

"It's delicious, I'll buy you a bottle." Bounty put the bottle firmly on the side of the boat, and gave Liu Shuiling a friendly hook.

Amanda, who was brought up by Ronan as a little alcoholic, was really fooled. She flew on board the boat not long after, jubilantly flicking her little tail, got into the wine bottle and drank happily, but in the end, Bounty grabbed the bottle and started again. Plug the bottle.

"Hahaha, let you fall into my hands." The little bobcat laughed wildly triumphantly, grabbed the wine bottle and shook it violently, and twirled and threw it into the sky before catching it, so that Liu Shuiling, who was already drunk, was caught in the head. The dizziness is about to break into liquid and mix into the "Amanda Cocktail".

The little witches watching nearby expressed relief.

"Ronan, I caught your kid playing with water! Hurry up and take money to make an apology, or it won't come out."

"Hahaha, it's really a problem child, so we can deal with problem children." Elsa laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist.

The cheerful and noisy scene of the companions made Anjaye, who was already worried, empty his mind and feel the beauty of the vastness of the world and the vast expanse of expanse.

In the almost meditative perception, the girl has a taste of becoming a fairy.

Even if it is a large fleet shaped like a river monster, the track set off in the waves of the cold lake is just an insignificant white line when looking at the entire lake.

Flying birds, swimming fish, lake algae, and waves all form a whole in the connection between the lake surface and the sky. The huge magic and spirituality emanating from the collection of all things and spirits rise and interweave over the cold lake, becoming an ancient and fresh narrative poem .

Although I don't know how long it will take, this peaceful lake surface carved like emeralds will usher in a bloody storm.At least it's not a bad thing to relax for now.

"If I hadn't come out of Sanssouci Palace, I'm afraid I would never have witnessed such a magnificent lake in my life." Princess Tini called out sadly, and the girl almost got out of her ghostly body and returned to reality.

"Miss An, after witnessing some scenes with my own eyes, I feel that I really exist in this world, not a false flower blooming in a greenhouse."

"Your Highness, there is an old saying in the East, what is done on paper is never enough, and you never know that you have to practice it."

An Jiaye took off his pointed hat, letting his hair, scattered like an ink cloud, flutter smoothly in the wind and smoke.

"Before I came to Cold Lake, it was just a concept on paper for me, but after I came here, all the experiences that happened here will become a part of myself—I think we feel the same."

"Also, don't look at the lake in front of you is big enough." An Jiaye smiled from the heart after a long absence, "In fact, the cold lake is a huge water system connected by several large lakes and swamp river networks."

The girl took out the sheepskin map and pointed to the group of emerald green lakes surrounded by the Black Marsh Territory and the Cold Lake Territory.

"Now is the dry season. In the next year's wet season, the lake will be even bigger. Many swamps and depressions will be submerged, and several large lakes will be connected into a whole. Lenghu people who rely on the lake for food have also developed a unique fishermanship. Herding migration habits - this season is a good time for them to enter the depressions and tidal flats to capture the treasures left behind after the lake recedes."

"Miss An, it seems that now I have an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of people's lives." Princess Tini showed a sincerely expectant smile.

"Yes, yes." Adelia also said excitedly, "Your Highness, I like these things in Christine's Adventures. When she sailed around the cold lake, she lived a whole life." Half a year!"

"Speaking of Cold Lake, there are all kinds of legends."

Adeli clasped her fingers together, her eyes twinkled like bright stars, looking at the lake where the water and the sky meet.

"Even in the oldest bookcase in the big library, there are records related to Lenghu."

"Lenghu Lake has a vast area, rich products, and many sub-races. The collision of various cultures and customs has produced differences, so there are countless legends." An Jiaye explained.

"It's obviously a cold misty month, and it's almost late autumn, but the wind in the cold lake still has the refreshing feeling of spring." Elsa hugged her neck from behind An Jiaye, and asked curiously with her soft face pressed against her face , "Xiao An, why do you say it is called Lenghu? In winter in my hometown, Valley of Tears, all the lakes are covered with ice crystals, so that is called icy cold."

"This is about to involve a poignant story."

Jana stopped playing the bagpipes at this moment, and told her companions with emotion.

"When I was traveling with my grandmother when I was a child, I heard her say that hundreds of years ago, when the peninsula was under the rule of the ancient Antonine dynasty, it was not called the cold lake, but the "shining lake Paolier", which means "" big green pearl".

"The four seasons here are like spring, the crops are growing luxuriantly, and there are very few days of foggy disasters. The people live a prosperous and peaceful life."

"But one day, the spirit fish in the lake, regarded as the patron saint by many demi-human tribes, suddenly went mad for some reason and became a man-eating evil god. It was a monster with terrifying freezing magic power—from then on, the lake Frozen, fishing boats were unable to fish, water birds were frozen to death, and ice storms swept to the shore from time to time, destroying crops and razing many villages, and Lake Paolier has become a cold lake as everyone calls it.”

Jana's storytelling tone becomes more engaging as the story progresses.

"Additionally, the peninsula was also in the midst of war torn apart, and the people around Lenghu were in dire straits, and there was no army to control that evil god—just when the people were forced to leave their homes, a brave man from a foreign land came, he was handsome and A mighty knight."
