At this moment, on the snowy ice field, the wind and snow outside the carriage kept beating on the windows, as if they were trying to squeeze into the interior little by little.
Freire also observed Zhao Xu the whole time, trying to capture the information in every sentence of the other party.
Whether Zhao Xu will really take out the artifact to help find the murderer has no meaning at all to Freir.
All his intentions are to help his sister rise to power.
Before returning to the capital city of Orlu this time, he was suddenly attacked by a pack of winter wolves, which already made him wary.
Reminiscent of the fact that Commander Tang De currently only has an illegitimate daughter from outside, many senior members of the alliance have already wanted to put as much chips there as possible. His sister's usual busy and bustling crowd of visitors has become sparse. stand up.
He only learned two months ago that the branch of the Mages Association had sent people to contact the illegitimate daughter Fleur, which made him feel that time was pressing.
The system of the Northern Alliance is not a feudal monarchy. The position of "General Commander" is more of an election system. Each term is ten years, and the maximum term can be three terms. Once elected, he will have great influence on the entire Northern Alliance, including the appointment of many town lords, and he can decide most of them.
Therefore, every time a new leader needs to be rotated, it is the darkest moment of bloody struggle in Oru, the capital of the Northern Alliance.
It can be said that the current commander-in-chief, Tang De, has only been in office for two years. He has no worries in this regard. Perhaps he feels that he has matured before he publicly revealed his illegitimate daughter.
In the past hundred years, the position of "general commander" has generally been rotated among the large families in Oru City.
No matter what Freire guessed, he didn't know that Zhao Xu, who was sitting across from the carriage at the moment, was thinking about the relationship between Tang De and the five brass treasure boxes, or the specific relationship between the other party's nephew's paternal line.
After a long time, Zhao Xu said: "It's a pity. If I had a magical weapon, I would definitely take it out to help leader Tang De."
Freyr smiled awkwardly, and was about to follow his plan to resolve the estrangement caused by the mention of "artifact".
After all, when the other party is a "branch president of the Mage Association", anyone who covets an artifact needs to consider the perception of the Mage Association.
This is the "talisman" of the position of "president".
Any "assassination" against the current president of the Mage Association will inevitably be pursued by the Mage Association.
Freir still clearly remembers that a hundred years ago in the Northern Alliance, there was a case where a town president was poisoned. In the end, a "legendary mage" came out of the sky and used prophecy to find the murderer without saying a word. The entire force was uprooted on the spot.
At that time, even the association branch of the alliance had not had time to react.
However, Zhao Xu went on to say: "After all, the major forces have now entered the investigation, and finally they can deduce the fact that the artifact has ascended to heaven with the Palace of Azhuo."
Freyr was slightly stunned, but looked at Zhao Xu with an extremely serious expression.
This made him sigh, what a pity.
The Zhao Xu in front of him can be said to be one of the few candidates in the current alliance who can hold the artifact.
If Mage Zhongxia just admitted to possessing the artifact, Freir would have to tell the opponent his plans on the spot. Describing the power distribution of the former Northern Alliance would completely save this foreign Mage Zhongxia from hitting the wall a few times. .
"I wonder who these are?" It was then that Freier came to his senses. He was considered one of the big shots in Oru City. He was extremely polite in his dealings with others at this moment, which was completely beyond the eyes of outsiders.
"Antinoya."
Zhao Xu's mentor, the only descendant of the ancient magic empire, the owner of Ernest's secret treasure, "Anti Noya", one of the oldest founders who witnessed the establishment of the Mage Association, directly introduced his name.
Freyr couldn't help but recall it, but he didn't have the slightest impression.
As a popular figure that Tang De is currently favoring, Freir has also been assigned the task of connecting with the Mage Association.
Although he is not even a magic apprentice, it does not prevent him from hearing enough gossip about the association. Even regarding the top candidates for the association in Mystra and the division of power, who is who, he may know better than the local players in Mystra.
The term Antinoya had never appeared in his memory stream.
Freir was waiting for the other party to introduce himself, but he didn't realize that the female mage had finished her words. Bored, he turned to the female knight on the other side.
Vivian said, "Bodyguard."
Equally concise.
"Bodyguard." After the white dragon Cyrus answered in the same way, he was still embarrassed to say the words "mounted" behind it.
After hearing about this relationship, Freire, who is less than thirty years old but can rely on his sister to hold a high position, has suffered a lot since childhood to hone his human instincts today.
He laughed on the spot and said: "It seems that this Miss Antinoya is your spouse, Mr. Zhongxia?"
It seems to be normal to bring family members to work. As for the fact that the other party is a player, Freire has ignored it.
Even as far as he knew, several earth players had managed to get into the position of confidants of Commander Tang De, and they had also been vigorously cultivated, with Tang De spending a lot of resources on them.
"No." Zhao Xu immediately corrected him.
He wouldn't dare to do such an outrageous thing now.
"How did you come to this conclusion?"
At this moment, Antinoya asked with interest.
Freyr was surprised when he saw the somewhat strange answers from both parties at the same time, but he immediately reacted.
This is probably the so-called interest of the young couple now. He immediately complimented: "Because Miss Antinoya, your eyes just fell on Mr. Zhongxia, which is exactly the same as the two bodyguards. And you are not a bodyguard, Of course they are a couple."
Antinoya nodded suddenly, as if he had really learned, "Okay, I am also a bodyguard now."
"..." Freyr suddenly felt as if the other party was teasing him, but he endured it.
But at this moment, Antinoya's cloak lightly passed by, and she glanced at him in surprise, but he saw a trace inside.
Immediately, Freir's heartbeat could not be stopped at all, and it kept beating.
As a popular person in Oru City, Freire has seen many stunning beauties. Even his sister is such a stunning beauty, otherwise she would not be able to surrender the alliance leader Tang De to his daughter.
It's just that he can't imagine that there is such a beautiful woman in the world. Even describing her in detail is blasphemy.
Freyr's face kept turning red and white.
As for Zhao Xu, he watched this scene silently.
He noticed everything including Freyr's loss of composure after seeing Antinoya's concealed appearance.
But Zhao Xu was too lazy to wake him up.
He only hoped that Freyr could persist until he saw Tang De before he did something stupid. If he treated Antinoya the same way he treated the ladies and girls in the aristocratic circle of Oru City, he would definitely die miserably.
The white dragon Cyrus also noticed this, and he couldn't help but think with disdain that this man was indeed an animal with a lower body that thought.
Unlike Cyrus, after transforming and enjoying himself, he left ruthlessly when he needed to.
The dragon has ambitions in all directions, how can he be trapped by such an affair between his children.
Especially what the other party is interested in is actually the most terrifying legendary mage in the world.
Or the kind of "unsolvable being" who can spontaneously create legendary spells. When he thought about facing such a ferocious woman who could easily kill her, Cyrus felt as if he had lost his desire.
Suddenly, the carriage that was moving forward suddenly stopped, and the pulleys on the sled were locked. Immediately, the carriage slipped out and left two obvious track indentations on the snow behind.
"What's wrong?" Freyr immediately said in secret, as if his thoughts were being spied on, and he was extremely angry.
"Sir." The guard outside the door said with a trembling voice, "There is a dragon..."
"Did the white dragon that escaped just now come back?"
Only then did Freyr remember that he had just been so excited and shocked by the identity of Mage Zhongxia that he had forgotten to ask the other party about the whereabouts of the white dragon that had fled.
"No, it's a group of white dragons, and one is particularly huge..."
At this time, Zhao Xu's eyes flashed, and he glanced at Cyrus on the spot.
Reinforcements
But at this time, Cyrus had already drooped his head, and his huge and strong body was completely shrinking, hiding tightly.
At this time, a dragon's roar came from outside.
The sound was extremely majestic and far-reaching, so vast that it resounded throughout the sky.
"Syrus, you shameless dragon, get out of here, come out here!"
Zhao Xu couldn't help but glance at Cyrus immediately, "You pulled it yourself, go clean it yourself."
Cyrus, on the other hand, looked at him with the humility of a younger brother, "That's just an ancient dragon outside, I can't afford to offend it."
Zhao Xu couldn't help but sigh.
He, Cyrus, can't offend him, but he, Zhao Xu, can
But he glanced at Antinoya beside him, who was still sitting with his legs crossed and doing nothing, pouting slightly as if a pig was blocking the door outside.
Well, it’s really worth it.
"Go back and hand over your treasure." Zhao Xu said lightly "threatening".
"A dragon can be killed but not humiliated." Cyrus argued on the spot.
"Then get out."
"Thirty percent." Cyrus chose to suffer a little humiliation.
"get out."
"Half." Its humiliation has reached the extreme.
"go out."
"Damn it, why are you more greedy than our dragon?" Cyrus was on the verge of collapse.
"I have not offended an ancient dragon." Zhao Xu said bluntly.
"Shouldn't this employer ask employees to resolve basic disputes?"
"That doesn't include romantic debts." Zhao Xu asserted immediately.
Suddenly, Cyrus's face turned red with shame, as if his face was filled with blood. He gasped and said, "That's all, you have to drive the other party away for me."
But the conversation between Zhao Xu and Cyrus was not only heard by Freir, but also by the guard sitting in the coachman's seat.
They were all a little confused. Did they bring the "Legendary Mage" with them on this trip
Does this ancient dragon treat him like nothing
