In the North, winter and spring and summer are two completely different landscapes. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In spring and summer, the plains stretch as far as the eye can see, with a sea of green grass rippling in the breeze. When the wind in the distance came in front of it, the green sea bent down in unison.

And in winter, it's a very cold and magnificent snowfield landscape!

The clear sky and pure white snow combine in the skyline, and the snow covers the entire north, and the snow up to half a meter deep makes the north the worst and most spectacular in the world.

It's rare to see a trace of life on the ice sheets, and occasionally experienced hunters head out with their longbows on their backs to look for the precious snow antelope.

This animal, which appears almost exclusively in winter, is of great medical and artistic value, but even the most seasoned hunters need to be wary of the dangers that pervade the ice fields.

Famine, bitter cold, ice bandits, and the most ferocious of all!

At this time, in the endless world of ice and snow, several black spots appeared in the distance.

The first two small black dots gave the girls a crisp and pleasant cheer, and they stepped on the sleigh unique to the north, leaving traces of joy on the white snow.

Lolita and Vivien are dressed in thick cotton clothes and small red cotton hats, looking like two delicate dolls. With snowball fights in both hands, they chased each other and glided through the snow.

Vivien, who was a little lacking in strength, gasped and shouted loudly to the cheering Lolita in front of her.

"Lolita!We'll have to wait for the teacher, we're too far away from the group!"

"What are you afraid of? Vivien. Lolita glided forward at breakneck speed, and then turned back and said, "Afraid of robbers, or ice wolves?" Come on, my good Vivien! We have the Teacher, Lord Claire, and Dinah in our ranks! And most importantly, Her Highness Sylvia, one of the Three Saints of Annihilation!"

She cheered and rushed towards a tall, frozen pine cone tree. At the moment when it was about to collide, the sleigh made beautiful traces and narrowly avoided the obstacles. The thrilling action made Vivian can't help but exclaim in fright.

"I can't think of anything else in this world that poses a threat to us!" replied Lolita cheerfully.

"If there is, the threat must come from you!" Vivien's voice was a little out of tune, "You little bastard!"

In a fit of rage, she blessed herself with a buff spell, intending to capture her friend who had broken her heart. And this initiative seems to make Lolita even more enjoyable.

About a kilometer away, in the rear, Claire rode on a tall, all-black horse.

The horse was nothing extraordinary, its muscles were tense, and its two-meter-three-meter-tall figure was as terrifying as a heavy tank. With green flames in its eyes and hideous horns, it looks as strong and mighty as a pure black unicorn.

But what's even more amazing is that even with such a sturdy body, its four hooves with dark blue sparks allow it to easily walk on the ice field!

This is the Nightmare Beast, the most proud of the undead. Even the Nightmare itself is an undead warrior with the strength of the Five Rings, and when they join forces with the Death Knight, they become an invincible monster on the battlefield.

For this trip, Claire summoned nine nightmares in one go with the help of Iger's Scepter. This monster that never tires is undoubtedly the best mount in the ice field.

It's just that ordinary people will never want to enjoy such treatment.

Behind Claire, four Nightmares are pulling a tall carriage carved with the emblem of Icewind Castle and the Inner Ring emblem. The carriage was surrounded by thick suede, and a warm scent wafted through the cracks in the windows.

It was Sylvia's exclusive car, and Dinah, as a maid, was by her side.

A dozen or so knights in full armor sat on the mechanical earth dragon, and the limbs of the earth dragon turned into tracks to facilitate the movement of the snow field. These knights, clad in velvet, don't seem to know what the cold is, when in fact, they're not human at all.

Rather, it's a mechanical warrior unique to Icewind Castle.

Three meters behind Claire, Charlotte's head on the Nightmare was tapping up and down. Two nightmares, abandoned by their masters, followed Charlotte boredly, making the Grand Duke of Icewind look even more pitiful.

But in fact, Claire knew that he deserved it, and even though he knew that he was going to leave today, this overly involved friend still chose to stay up late last night to study spells.

Beside Claire, there's also a hard-working guy who specializes in magic in nightmares. He held a thick magic book in both hands, and the blinding light on the ice field forced him to widen his eyes to make out every symbol on the book. In addition, the bumps in the nightmare also brought a lot of difficulty to his reading.

He is Leonard, Claire's protégé, from Levine, the port city of Icewind, the child of an ordinary fisherman's family.

I have to say that his short fourteen-year experience has a certain legendary color. The young man once rescued a refugee who had fallen into the sea while fishing with his father, who was a mage of Icewind Castle.

In return for their kindness, the mage took Leonard to Icewind Castle and gave his surname to Leonard, who was a commoner.

But the mage named Harris died soon after, and Leonard Harris, who had lost his protection, fell into a desperate situation almost overnight.

However, it is clear that he did not give up on himself, and Leonard Harris was recognized by the academy teachers for his dedication and hard work, and was fortunate enough to become one of Claire's many apprentices.

Now, when Claire decides to travel to the Far North, the multitude has become the only one.

Leonard Harris is the only apprentice who has decided to follow in Claire's footsteps and head to the Undead's Residence. Together with his teacher, he would sail across the ocean after hanging the emperor in the imperial capital to the legendary barren land.

Claire looked at the young mage as if she had seen herself many years ago. An imperceptible smile appeared on his always cold face, but he quickly restrained his smile and said in a cold voice.

"Leonard, a good mage must have the virtue of diligence. But a good mage should learn to combine work and rest. ”

Leonard, who was pondering a difficult question, did not answer immediately, and it was not until a few seconds later that he was startled and saluted Claire in a panic.

"I'm sorry, my teacher, were you talking to me just now? I—I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ignore ......."

Claire waved her hand, and he pointed ahead, "Don't be nervous, Leonard. I mean, why don't you enjoy the scenery of the North with Vivien and Lolita?"

"I, I'm ......" he stammered for a long time, thought for a moment, and said a reason that made him feel frustrated, "Probably because I don't have the same talent as them, I became a first-ring mage in just half a year, and if I don't work hard, I will probably be caught up by them soon." ”

"They were also apprentices who were unsuccessful. Claire patted her disciple on the shoulder, "Leonard, you have to try to believe in yourself." ”

"I will......" Leonard's reply was as hesitant as ever, but he soon smiled happily.

"What's wrong?" asked Claire.

"No! I'm sorry, teacher! I just remembered something funny. The young mage replied in a panic.

He thought that deciding to follow Claire might be the wisest decision for him. He had never met his own teacher and showed such concern for someone other than Charlotte.

This made the young man's heart warm, and it seemed that the cold wind in the north had become less ecstatic.

"Put down the books, Leonard. ”

Claire interrupted his reverie again, and he looked up to see his teacher pointing ahead.

"You must learn to have the highest respect for the lord of a principality. Claire said.

A thousand kilometers ahead, a majestic guard stood in the biting cold wind. The wind of the Northland made the banner of the team flutter wildly, it was the family emblem that belonged only to the thousand-year-old nobleman - the Clayderman family!
