A snowfall.
The biting cold wind brought with it a light snow, blowing across the Moldavia Territory, and it was the end of March in the year 833 in the blink of an eye.
After the last snow of winter stopped, the temperature across the North began to gradually warm up. In some places where the snow melted relatively quickly, farmers have begun to use farm tools to break through the frozen solid soil and cultivate the fields. The melted snow and ice water from the top of the snow-capped mountains also flows into the river, passing through the coniferous forest still covered with silver.
Between the woods and the ice fields, everything began to revive. The white bears and squirrels that had been sleeping all winter woke up from their tree holes at the same time. The winter wolves that had been running around all winter also excitedly noticed the increase in prey. It was at this time that , countless caravans are setting sail from afar, heading for this land that has been blocked by snow and ice for a quarter.
The main city of Moldavia is also full of vitality due to the coming of early spring. The shops that have been deserted all winter begin to load and unload goods in preparation for the next peak trade season, and the taverns are gradually becoming hotter, but everyone The topic of conversation was not the usual neighborhood gossip, but information about Winterfort College.
Those who have children and nephews in the family who have successfully entered the school are naturally the envy of everyone. As the first regular vocational school in the North, being able to enroll is simply the best way to brag. Many people are showing off overtly or covertly. The excellence of their children, and among this group of people, the most conspicuous one was the old man with gray hair who held a wine glass as big as half a human head and drank up the strong wine in one gulp.
This scene really scared a middle-aged man who had just entered the tavern. However, with the explanations from the people around him, he quickly learned that the grandchildren of this old man named Edward had successfully enrolled in Winterfort College. And he was highly valued by all the instructors. The drinking just now was a celebration encouraged by everyone.
"It seems that people in the North are only so enthusiastic when they drink."
He found a corner and ordered a simple drink and food. The middle-aged man looked at the fiery atmosphere in the pub and smiled helplessly. Then he straightened his red-edged and black-soled uniform. On the chest of this uniform, there is an inconspicuous golden scale that is half sword and half grain.
Inquisitor Munster came to Moldavia again after a year.
This time, like last time, he also had a mission, but he was not as anxious as he was for the Kuroshio last time. In addition, one of the missions this time was to observe the situation in the main city, so he had Plenty of time to wander around the city.
After finishing lunch, he began to walk aimlessly in the main city of Moldavia.
Walking along Qingshi Avenue, he saw many previously closed shop doors being opened by shop owners, who were starting to tidy up before spring. Compared with the peak season, the commercial street was still deserted, but there was also a hint of liveliness and prosperity. There are many pedestrians walking back and forth on the roadside, seeming to be shopping for goods, and many of them are wearing various types of Warcraft leather armor. Just by their battle-hardened aura, you can tell that they are experienced adventurers and adventurers who are waiting for the snow to melt and prepare to set off. Figures of mercenaries.
As he got closer and closer to the city center, some guards wearing standard silver armor or Warcraft leather armor with the Radcliffe family emblem on their chests became more common, and near St. Laurent Cathedral, there were also Many church knights wearing white smocks patrolled and guarded.
The whole city is filled with such a vibrant atmosphere. It seems that it has been suppressed for the whole winter, making everyone feel a little too energetic. This can also be seen from the pace of the patrolling city guards. Their expressions are extremely energetic. It seems that they are waiting for some stupid fool to jump out and let them vent their excess energy.
Munster walked in silence like this. He observed the surrounding scene with interest, the clean and tidy streets, and the accordion melody coming from the tavern not far away. It has to be said that although the main city of Moldavia, It cannot be compared with the big cities in the central part of the empire, but among the second-tier main cities, it can be considered decent, and the demeanor of the pedestrians is also full of hope and vitality, and does not feel numb and dull, which is enough to prove The lords here are indeed doing a good job and can be considered very competent.
After bypassing the Saint Laurent Cathedral and the square, he came to the street where the Lord's Palace was located.
The moment he saw the Lord's Mansion, he stopped involuntarily.
"I was really shocked...it was so sudden."
Taking a deep breath to relieve the stiff muscles, Munster came back to his senses, then shook his head and murmured to himself. He stared at the two huge and ferocious demon blood hanging on the side of the castle in front of him. The giant dragon head felt a little helpless: "This is not how to show off. The two giant dragon heads were placed outside like this. The dragon's power shook, and I was shocked."
Turning around, he looked at the other people coming and going. These residents seemed to have long been accustomed to the pressure left on the two giant dragon heads, and were no longer surprised by the ferocious faces. Seeing this scene, the middle-aged prosecutor seemed to be surprised. Enlightenment: "Is this the purpose of Joshua? Let his people gradually get used to the pressure of the Dragon Clan, so that if they are attacked in the future, they will not have the strength to escape?"
And it can also convey a message through the dragon's head - the dragon is not invincible. Look, the two heads are hanging there. There is someone behind you, so you don't have to be afraid of these street guys.
There seemed to be some strange auditory hallucinations coming from his ears. Munster shook his head vigorously to get rid of those words from his mind, and then walked slowly towards the Lord's Mansion.
At this time, a silver-haired girl happened to walk out from the corner of the street and walked towards the door of the Lord's Mansion.
Ever since Hei awakened to refine the Black Dragon bloodline and spent all day swimming in the lake at the foot of the Nissie Snow Mountain, Ying felt much more relaxed without one more task to do. After Joshua's daily compulsory cultural classes, This is her free time.
In this regard, the soldier was unexpectedly generous. He didn't mind Ying wandering around every day, and even gave her some pocket money to buy some things she wanted to buy, but Ying actually didn't need these. If she wants to change her clothes, she only needs to use her magic power to condense it. So the girl basically uses the money to buy some special delicacies and brings them back to Joshua, so that both master and slave are happy.
And just when Ying was about to enter the Lord's Mansion, she saw a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.
A man wearing red with black trim and the emblem of the Scales on his chest was standing at the other end of the street. This familiar scene made the girl blink subconsciously, her memory core turning rapidly, and she immediately recalled who he was. .
Censor Munster.
An acquaintance of the owner.
I guess I came here this time because I have something to ask the master about, right? Ying nodded silently and couldn't help but praise her own reaction.
"Hello, Mr. Munster."
Raising her hand and waving towards the other party, the silver-haired girl remembered the etiquette she learned in the cultural class, then coughed and said in a gentle voice: "Do you still have a mission to come this time? "
Munster, who was suddenly greeted by someone, naturally discovered the girl in front of him. His memory was enough to recall the girl's name, so the prosecutor also responded readily: "Long time no see, Miss Ying, you are more beautiful than the last time we met. So beautiful…”
It's a good thing to meet someone you know and don't have to go to the city hall or the guard at the Lord's Mansion to make an appointment, but... I haven't seen you for a year. Not to mention your figure, why haven't you grown in height? I heard that the housekeepers and maids of the Radcliffe family were all immortals. I originally thought it was a rumor, but now it seems that it may not be the truth.
"If you want to see the master, let me go and inform you first."
Ying naturally didn't know what the other person was thinking, otherwise she wouldn't have such a good tone. The girl made an invitation gesture and said briskly: "The master is probably dealing with government affairs. If it's not urgent, maybe you have to wait a little longer." Yes."
"It's okay, I'm here to tell your master some good news."
Following the gesture, Munster naturally approached the gate of the lord's mansion. The guard at the door also knew that the other party was an acquaintance of his lord, so he roughly examined the other party's clothes, asked to collect the sword, and then let him go.
