Wizard From Afar

On a sunny day, the pure mirror-like dome is cloudless, and you can only hear howling eagles in the distance.

On the seventh day from Furnace Town, the motorcade along the road all the way to the north gradually moved away from the south near the Gem River, and came to the north of Prince Sackland; the cold wind was also coming as expected, Snowflakes Falling and falling, dyeing everything around them into pure white.

Winter is here.

The blue sky, the silver earth, and on the horizon at the end of the line of sight, a few deciduous pine trees stand like dead bones in the white snow—this is everything you can see.

The closer you get to the north, the number of villages and towns is decreasing sharply. There is only a desolation on the invisible land, coupled with the heavy snow flying in the sky and the more and more biting cold wind, The convoy flying the flag of the Iron Crown had to stop on a gentle slope.

No order was required at all. Brandon’s guards-more than 300 Legion soldiers stationed in Legion from Eboden, built a simple camping camp as quickly as possible, and used Several bonfires were built around the branches picked up.

"This winter seems to come earlier than usual, um...it seems to be colder."

While the guards were still building the camp, Brandon I found a bonfire nearby and sat down comfortably, threw a bottle to the black hair wizard opposite, and let out a long sigh: "At most five days and at least four days, we just I can see the "famous" fortress in Broken Boundary Mountain!"

Ignoring the voice of the other party, Loren, who took the jug, took a sip—the place of World of Ice and Snow , There is nothing happier than drinking:

"Have you been here?"

"Of course I have been. Every generation of Dessa Leon will be When I was two years old, I was sent to the fortress of Broken Frontier Mountain to see the great achievements of our ancestors, and by the way, pay tribute to the broken walls of the giant dragon kingdom... the so-called Imperial Family education, well... this is how it is."

Brandon boringly grabbed a handful of snow, squeezed a ball in his hand and fiddled with it: "I was sent here with my beloved Imperial Brother and sister-in-law Fitronay; naturally, The performances of the three of us will be compared by those adults;"

"The beloved Imperial Brother was very fond of giving orders at that time, although only my sister would listen to him; as for me... …Um…I think you should have guessed it."

Loren silently nodded.

This fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain was not demolished by him, which proves how strong it is.

"Don’t expect the “loyal” guards of the fortress of Duanjieshan to be as enthusiastic about me as the shameless prince like the towns in Sackland before; in fact, they didn’t open me back then. Cut the belly, you can prove their loyalty to the Desalion family."

"So..." He blinked as he looked at the grievance in front of him, as if he was repenting of his "fault", His Royal Highness. The black hair wizard leaping in his temples bit his posterior molars to calm himself down as much as possible:

"What did you do back then?"

"Uh..." Brandon Tangled for a while, holding his cheeks and staring at Loren solemnly: "Can you guarantee that after I finish speaking, you won't jump up and hit me?"

"...I promise."

"Hmm...Then I won't say anything, anyway, you will know when you reach the fortress of Duanjieshan - don't forget, you just promised me!"

"..."

Loren really wants to hit someone now.

"Oh, that's right!"

Seeing the expression of his wizard advisor, His Royal Highness wisely used the "topic-shifting technique": "About the'Black Duke' Roland Torino How much do you know about this matter?"

"...You are changing the subject, Your Royal Highness Brandon." Loren resisted the urge to roll his eyes.

"Of course not!" The red-haired and red-eyed boy gave his sweetest smile. Under the reflection of the snow, the sunny smile was even a little too dazzling: "I'm just discussing one What's likely to happen next is especially related to the treatment we will receive."

In the next second, the smile on the corner of Brandon's mouth gradually disappeared, and his expression gradually became serious:

"Perhaps you also know that your famous ancestor used to work in the fortress of Duanjieshan?"

Since a while, the black hair wizard slightly browses knit.

He knows too little about this ancestor-most people only know that Roland Torino was the famous "Black Duke" a hundred years ago, and once brought Byr Duchy to prosperity and was A very pious person, once served in the fortress of Duanjieshan with outstanding achievements, and finally lost the title, let the Torino family and Byrne Duchy decline for a hundred years.

Then...it's gone.

It’s simply unimaginable-it’s only more than a hundred years since the death of Roland Torino, at most three generations, but the life of this "black duke" sounds like hundreds of years ago Of the legend!

In other words...someone is deliberately covering up something?

"Actually, it's nothing, but almost everyone knows the'Black Duke' and what he did in the Fortress of Duanjieshan." Brandon squinted, and crimson's pupils were incomparable. Profound:

"So try not to mention your last name, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, leave the rest to me to deal with."

Loren silently gave Gave an affirmative answer. At least Brandon is right. In such a tense situation, it is best to try not to cause any accidents. More is worse than less.

At this moment, the black feather eagle on the tent not far away suddenly flapped and flew, and landed firmly on Loren's shoulder. The black hair wizard who had just had a plain expression suddenly stood up!

"Something is happening?" Brandon who face doesn't change took a sip of ale, but the right hand has already pressed the hilt of the sword around his waist.

black hair wizard nodded, dark pupils stare at the boundless snow in the distance.

Asriel... you better not kidding.

"Oh...you know that I never care about this kind of thing." A young aggrieved voice sounded in his mind, with a bit of ridicule:

"It's that you are so slack, you haven't noticed it yet-dear Loren, you seem to have forgotten where you are, right?

This is the north, and the'bad guys' have begun to invade. That's it!"

"Enemy attack——!!!"

Not far away, Captain roared, and then blew the horn; more than three hundred soldiers gathered at once. All around in the camp, heavy zither-shaped shields formed a tight shield wall, erected long halberd, waiting for the next order.

Achieving assembly from the command is just a matter of a few breaths. A black "wall" was added to the originally empty camp in an instant, and the iron crown banner flying in the snow was hunting and hunting.

There was dead silence, and no sound was heard.

Pull out the bright silver black hair wizard and leapt onto the carriage, with the dark pupils looking into the distance. On the horizon between white and blue, there are only snowflakes flying in the sky.

Where is the enemy?

Loren slowly opened his left hand, and the rune floating in his palm was instantly crushed, and instantly there were two simple patterns of gray and blue under his cheeks.

Very well, I finally saw you this time.

Under the enhanced vision, in the originally white world, hordes of shadows are gradually revealed-delicate white hair like silk, light paws and the cold The ice-like eyes are approaching quickly; two hundred, no! At least no less than three hundred!

These swift and silent white shadows did not directly pounce on them, but hovered constantly around them, as if they were engaged in a pleasant hunting activity.

The Loren entire group is "their" prey.

At this moment, everyone had already seen clearly—the fierce grinding of teeth, the rough low growl, and the pairs of azure blue pupils hidden in the snow.

"They don’t seem to mind being discovered at all?"

"That’s because they know we’ve noticed, otherwise these monsters would have rushed to tear us to flesh It's sauce."

Brandon walked behind him and said in an extremely disgusting tone: "Ice Werewolves, the vanguard of the monster army-even when there are no monsters invading, these monsters often Crossing the Broken Boundary Mountain, looting and slaughtering the lands in the north of Sackland, turning entire villages and even towns into their flesh and blood mills!"

"In contrast, Lotaire’s ghoul It's just a little animal that is harmless to human and animals-of course, compared with the monsters in the northern part of Duanjie Mountain, this is just a tip of the iceberg."

Expanded his hands and grinned Brandon Desalion’s face was filled with a playful smile:

"My wizard consultant Loren Torino...

Welcome to the North——!!! !!!"
