(Thank you for the 2018***837 tip!It seems that the buddy is a new friend!Welcome!In addition, I would like to thank the monthly pass support of the secluded world!)

The North ushered in a rare period of peace in the past two years, and the Northern Ice Fields War led by Icewind Castle was won a great victory, and a large number of barbarians and orcs were used as slaves, and they engaged in mining and infrastructure construction, bringing new vitality to this ancient country under the strong policy of Charlotte, the Grand Duke of Icewind Castle.

The civil war that Erosa was in charge of was also won, and according to the plan set that day, Vivien Leigh destroyed the Temple of the Gods and seized a huge amount of wealth. Later, he used this as a basis to recuperate, build a knight's temple, and establish the Knights of Claudine as the state religion of Erosa to fight against the erosion of the faith of the gods.

At the same time, the Eye of Time is also secretly killing maniac believers under the leadership of Ramsay, and Vivien Leigh repeatedly asks the Illusory Forest to pursue the real murderer without success, and finally gives up chasing the murderer after a long night of talk with Rebecca, and reluctantly admits the Eye of Time's strategy of action in the North.

Icewind Castle is in close contact with Erossa, even closer than Sylvia had with Lawrence, and the two great kingdoms in the North are either licking their wounds or accumulating their strength in the future Winter War that will engulf the multiverse.

After an initial period of work, Charlotte's affairs have become more and more relaxed these days, and he has focused on the field of magic, and although the legend is still out of reach, his understanding of the knowledge and truth of magic has become more solid.

Time flies, and it is the end of summer and the beginning of autumn. On this day, Charlotte once again overcame an illusion puzzle, and he stretched his waist, intending to give himself a rare vacation. With fruit wine in hand, he stood at the top of his mage's tower and looked out at the imposing and neat neighborhood of Icewind Castle.

With the Supreme Mage Tower not far away as the core, the Icewind Castle spreads outward in a ring, dividing the path of science like the bloodline of the city expanding to every corner of the Icewind Castle.

Although Sylvia's disappearance caused no less shock to the core members of Icewind Castle than a magnitude 9 earthquake, with Charlotte's strong policies in the past two years, the impact of Sylvia's disappearance has been minimized. The city named after the kingdom was thriving, and Charlotte's wars of foreign raiding were victorious, bringing huge human and material resources to Icewind Castle.

Standing in the Chief Hall at the top of the Mage Tower, Charlotte could easily see the multi-racial and mechanical golems of the City Patrol Guard maintaining order in the busy city. In the distance, the strait sails through the docks, stopping in front of the high-tech docks of Icewind Castle, where merchants are mostly smiling, strong barbarians and orc slaves are transporting goods on the docks, and the slave markets near the outside of the city are bustling with mages waving money to buy slaves from the official slave market, and the slaves are in a bleak fate.

This is Charlotte's single-handedly led policy, the victory of the foreign war has allowed Icewind Castle to get rid of the original underpopulation dilemma, this mage country originally relied on the mage organization formed by Sylvia and the absorption of displaced people of all races to maintain the population, the real northern ancestors in the Icewind Castle are only thirty percent.

Historically, Icewind has relied on excellent infrastructure and a wide variety of spell items to attract merchants from across the multiverse to trade. Strictly speaking, it is also a representative of a country founded on commerce. For all these years, Sylvia has maintained neither nor commercial consideration in the principle of the absolute neutrality of Icewind Castle outside the northern borders. However, with Charlotte's Northern Ice Fields strategy plan and the huge minerals discovered during the Ice Fields, Icewind Castle has become much less dependent on trade.

Some time ago, Charlotte passed a resolution at the Inner Ring Council that Icewind Castle decided to build four cities on the northern ice fields in order to obtain special products and minerals from the ice fields. In charge of this is the younger generation of masters represented by Mage Illya, who will build their own mage tower in the new city, once the mage tower lands, it means that Icewind Castle's control over the northern ice fields will be easily unshakable.

Needless to say, even the puppet technology of the multiverse, which is famous for Icewind Castle, is inseparable from the assistance of a large number of manpower to build a new city and develop minerals in the ice field. But the problems that have plagued Icewind Castle for thousands of years have been solved, and a large number of slaves will participate in its construction, bringing vitality to Icewind Castle's rise.

After drinking the fruit wine, Charlotte descended from the Mage Tower alone, and along the way, the mages who belonged to his Mage Tower bowed to this extremely talented top master. Charlotte nodded occasionally, and after two years in politics, his mental outlook has changed dramatically.

Now he is not only awe-inspiring with his own strength and the aura on his head, but the aura he has cultivated in a high position in the past two years makes him subconsciously awe even if he restricts all his spell power and dresses up again.

Charlotte walked alone on the bustling streets, and along the way, the faces of the citizens of Icewind Castle were full of longing for the future and passion for life. Although Icewind Castle has always been neutral, although it has prospered, the passage from the lower level to the upper level is extremely narrow, and the rest of the circulation channels are close to zero except for becoming a mage. As a result, there is a lack of positive vitality at all levels of society, except for the mage community. So much so that many citizens who are eager for power and adventure have fled Erossa, preferring to risk their lives to fight for a future in Erosa than to wait for death in Icewind Castle.

Charlotte thought to herself, Sylvia may not be unaware of the disadvantages of the policy she set, but the princess who was unintentional in the past had no passion for life, and naturally she would not care about the spirit of the citizens of Icewind Castle. Sylvia's attitude towards the citizens of Icewind is as long as they don't make trouble (in fact, except for the occasional one or two ambitious mages who don't know what to do), then whatever they think.

But in the past two years, with Charlotte's foreign expeditions, the promotion channel that Icewind Castle has not opened for a long time has finally appeared a bright dawn. A large number of mages and warriors who fought in the war gained land and became nobles, and the people and caravans who followed the army to make a fortune, coupled with the huge resources found in the northern ice fields, made the entire Icewind Castle glow with upward vitality.

The southern kingdoms fought endlessly, and many people left their homes to come to this troubled fairyland, Icewind Castle, which also brought vitality to this prosperous but lifeless mage country.

The whole city is constantly shouting, and although it is much more messy than it was during the Sylvia regime, there is a strong sense of life. Charlotte weaves through the city's spacious streets, feeling the warm atmosphere of the crowd in front of the West Plaza, and her heart can't help but feel proud and anxious.

Do these boisterous people know that in the near future, Icewind Castle, which they consider to be a wonderland of troubled times, will become the focus of an unprecedented war?

Charlotte put aside the truth of the spell and secretly thought about the future direction of Icewind Castle, and before he knew it, he had passed through Icewind Castle to the civilian area to the west. When he came back to his senses, he found himself standing in front of a two-story wooden tavern called 'Pride of the North'.

It dawned on him that this was the run-down tavern he had lived in decadence two years earlier. The nameless tavern has been renovated at some point, and under the new plaque, there is still a line of small print.

Charlotte Clayderman, Grand Duke of Icewind Castle, favorite tavern.

Charlotte was amused by the audacity of the tavern owner, and secretly thought that he played this brand, and he was not even seized by the City Guard?

With a hint of nostalgia and nostalgia for the past, he pushed the door open and walked into the tavern, and soon realized why the tavern had not been sealed.
