"Your Excellency Commander, we have already walked forward for almost two miles, and we have not seen the mountain used as a landmark for a long time behind. With such a heavy snow and wind, we will probably get lost if we go further... "Knight Cruz patted the snow on his breastplate, and looked at the snow-filled sky with some worry-the freezing cold wind pushed the snowflakes and whizzed between the sky and the earth. This blizzard came suddenly and didn't give anyone any thought. Time to prepare—The knight looked at the bad weather with some worry, and put forward his own views on the female knight in front.
Freya stopped, her opponent sighed, her face flushed with cold, and her eyebrows were covered with frost. But Freya blinked and replied, "No, we go further five hundred meters. They are injured and they must not run far."
"Freya, if they were injured, we should have chased them long ago. No one can run too far in this weather." Nimesis' voice came from behind, and everyone turned their heads, female The knight was as calm as ever, and at the same time reminded with an icy tone: "There is something strange in this, have you forgotten what Brende and the others said?"
"But that may be the phantom on the ice field, the refraction of sunlight, or the snow shadow of the crystal forest, it may all have a similar illusion—"
"He said he saw a wolf, do you understand what this means?" Nimesse interrupted her: "This storm was brought by the wolf. This is not a good sign. The Miner fears the wolf, because the wolf It is a part of the twilight, representing doom and the destruction of the world."
"But... didn't everyone else see it?" Freya also had no bottom in her heart. She looked at the whiteness in the depths of the heavy snow, always feeling that there was a pair of pale eyes behind Xue Ying looking at them. The same is true for other people. They always feel that this glacier is malicious to people. It feels like a silent stranger will suddenly appear behind you, which is creepy.
The howl of the wind is like a continuous and stern wailing.
Nimesis paused, her voice was like falling into ice scum. She looked at other people coldly: "There is nothing impossible in the Black Forest. Everything is possible. If you have a hunch that something bad will happen Happens, then it will definitely get worse."
Of course the Cruz Cavaliers had heard this proverb, and their scalp was tingling. Freya also hesitated. At this moment, a person suddenly stumbled in the wind and snow in the distance. That person was the second batch of scouts sent out not long ago. Their task was to find the one sent out half an hour ago. The first batch of scouts, but Freya saw the look on this man's face, her heart sank slightly.
"Little Pello, Alea, Your Excellency Commander... Jade and Anika..."
"what happened-"
"Shut up, Alea, let the commander ask your question." Before Freya could speak, the knight behind her spoke first, but Pello, who was next to Freya, turned his head and interrupted the man severely. if.
The thin black-haired knight exhaled slightly, and forced his companion back with cold eyes.
"It's okay... What's the matter?" Freya didn't have time to be distracted. She looked at the scout and asked, "What's the matter with them?"
"I don't know... When we found them... They were already... Already..." The scout's shoulders almost trembled. Seeing him like this, the faces of the others sank instantly. They are comrades-in-arms, and even classmates who graduated in the same period. They vowed to make a name for themselves in the next jihad, but today, they are smashed in this small place. What happened here will not even be Remembered by anyone.
"Why? How could something kill them? In this damn poor country!" The knight couldn't help cursing fiercely.
"Shut up, Alea!" Little Pello still scolded him coldly. But he turned his head, his gaze fell on Freya.
Freya's heart was also a little low. This was the first casualty of her subordinates. For a while, she even thought of Beth's face. But the future Valkyrie blinked, shook her head and said, "Who killed them? Are they halflings?"
"Your Excellency Commander... Jade and Anika..." The scout's face showed a look of fear: "They died a little weird..."
"eccentric?"
"I'm not good, we can't see what actually killed them. There are no obvious wounds on their bodies, but they seem to have been drained of blood, but there are no vampire bites on them..."
He took a deep breath and opened his eyes wide and said: "The guy Lolo said that they were frozen to death. There are ghosts in the ice and snow that will extract human energy, but I think that guy is talking nonsense..."
"Who is Lolo?" Freya turned her head.
"He has the ancestry of mountain people and Miner people, and he is a babbled guy." Little Pello replied.
Freya was a little strange. She didn't expect the Empire would not discriminate against the mountain people and Miner people, but her mind only stayed on this matter for a short while, and she replied, "Take us over to see."
"Freya, have you considered it?" But Nimesis frowned at this decision.
"Senior Sister," Freya raised her head: "Brando is jealous of hatred, and the Eruins are by no means unrequited people. Whether they are Cruz or not, they died under my hands. I don't Please revenge for them immediately, but at least figure out who killed them."
"I understand." Nimesis replied faintly. She grasped the reins of the Heroic Warhorse, as if she had expected Freya to answer this way, just saying: "I'm just reminding you to think carefully about it."
"I thought about it clearly—"
Freya replied categorically, her words pierced through the wind and snow, making everyone stunned, but the Cruz people finally agreed with her look at her.
…
Lenaret? Aurelius looked at the silhouette of the figure becoming more and more obvious in the wind and snow. He was slightly dark so that he almost didn't look like a royal family member. His face always kept the same look, but this does not mean that he did not pay attention to his surroundings. What was happening, at least the boy who was slowly approaching him on the horse fell in his eyes.
"His Royal Highness Lenaret." Haruzer saw this tall young man, a little envious. He was also the first heir to the throne, just like him, but much calmer than him. For so long, apart from reporting his own name, the other party has hardly said a word. This stability makes him very curious. Haruze is eager to know how to make more of his identity. Well, how can I be so confident.
Lenaret? Aurelius looked back at the young man and replied: "His Royal Highness Haruze, under the Temple of Flame, you and I are equal. You don’t need to be behind me. It’s against you. The etiquette of the exchanges between the two countries."
Haruze blushed. He didn't expect to make a mistake of etiquette at once. He didn't mean it. He just got used to following behind his sister or teacher. When reminded, he quickly loosened the rein and moved forward. shoulder.
"His Royal Highness, have you ever considered that you will inherit a huge empire in the future? Thousands of people depend on you for their future. Have you ever thought about it, if... What would happen if you did it wrong? Sorry, although it is very rude to say so... But I always think about this question." Haruze asked in a low voice.
"It's not rude." Lenaret replied: "Of course I have considered this issue. This is part of my power and responsibility. As for the millions of people, their future depends on me. Hand, you are right. If I do it right, they will sing praises, and if I am wrong, they will take responsibility."
When Haruze heard this remark, he couldn't help but his eyes widened: "How can this be?"
"Because at that time, I will be the supreme emperor. In this status, I will naturally maintain the majesty of the emperor. This is the same for you. When you grow up to a certain age, you will understand this. God has granted us this power, so we should guard it more cautiously."
Lenaret? Aurelius raised his head and replied proudly.
"But isn't the duty of a royal family member to fulfill the contract of the nobles and bring a happier and stable life to his people?" Haruze was dumbfounded.
"Who told you this?" Lenaret asked back.
"It's the teacher, and my sister..." the little prince replied in a low voice.
"What they said is all wrong, your sister is just a female generation, and the Lord Earl must have another plan." The eldest son of the emperor replied lightly.
Haruze felt that there was something wrong with this, but he didn't know where to refute it for a while, and couldn't help but whispered: "But, but the teacher is a very honest and knowledgeable person. If your Highness Lenaret, you discuss it with him. If you do, you will definitely understand this."
"No need." Lenaret? Aurelius replied: "Haruze, only you are qualified to talk to me on an equal footing here. I don’t have to listen to other people’s opinions-even in your country, Your Royal Highness the Little Prince, the Lord Earl. So far, it’s still not a great minister, you should learn to choose your own power—"
Haruze was slightly startled, and nodded seemingly.
At the same moment, Brando saw a certain silver elf princess coming through the wind and snow. He threw a candy to Star, who was not far behind him, and let the fat dragon run to the back happily, then raised his head, and asked Medissa in the first sentence:
"Freya hasn't she returned yet?"
"I'm sorry, Lord Lord, I didn't persuade her." Medissa frowned, and shook her head worriedly.
"this is not your fault."
Brando looked up at the changing sky and replied softly: "I know Freya's character. The weather is a bit weird, but maybe we have to go against the wind."
