While Anya was still arguing over the first batch of personnel to be sent to Northland, the missions of Mulberry and Hill had bypassed Anya and arrived in Northland.

As Anya's neighbors and allies, in the war against the demons, the two countries know the truth of cold lips and teeth, so they fully support Anya. As the conflict with the demons subsided, Anya, who lacked an external threat, began to become arrogant. Green, one of Anyah's three neighbors, now exists in name only. Its handling of the Green royal family is also a wake-up call for both countries.

The war dragged down the kingdom of Anya and made him. Under the tempering of war, his army became more and more warlike. However, the army, which had been sustained by the assistance of its allies during the war, was now in danger of disbanding. The Kingdom of Anya alone could not supply an army of this size.

With the plan to annex the Kingdom of Grimm shattered, they are the only ones left for Anya to choose from. Now the two countries of Mulberry and Hill have made an alliance to defend against Anya together.

The appearance of Bran brought the two countries of Mulberry and Hill to the attention of this potential ally. After seeing enough of the Anya's jokes, they also gathered some information. The Northlanders, a tribe hidden in the northeastern corner of the continent, have the power to determine the situation on the continent. So they sent their respective missions to the Northland City together.

The missions of the two countries had a clear purpose and entered into a covenant of mutual assistance with the Northlands. They made a lot of preparations for this, but it was not sufficient. The outside world knows too little about the Northlands, and their preferences and habits are all hidden in the fog. After coercing and enticing Grimm's nobles, he found that Grimm's country also knew very little about the Northlands. It wasn't until they spent a lot of money that they got some useful information from the scholars.

......

In this season that is not suitable for long travel, their arrival can be regarded as an expression of some sincerity. It's just that this is really the Northland City, and the mission was a little unexpected, which was too different from the description in the intelligence.

Many unfinished houses were abandoned in the wilderness. Some old stones, piled up around them. They looked far away, but they didn't see the shadow of Northland.

Someone couldn't help but ask, "How far is it to reach Northland City?"

"Here it is. ”

This short and clear answer stunned everyone. Then the words that made them even more stunned followed. "Northland is being expanded recently, so there aren't enough homes, I hope you understand. ”

The head of the Mulberry Leaf Kingdom's mission, Sashan, said, "We can set up our own tents, but can we arrange a suitable place for our highnesses." ”

This reasonable request for temptation was met with no obstacles. After leading the mission to the station, important figures from both countries were brought to the city. This relieved them that as long as they didn't deliberately make things difficult, some difficulties could still be overcome.

Seeing the current situation in Northland City, they didn't have any expectations for the conditions of the city. However, as the city became clearer, they realized the meaning of grandeur. Against the tattered background around them, this contrast created a powerful impact that made them a little distracted.

When I passed through the huge main entrance, I realized that there were two worlds inside and outside the gate. Even those who were accustomed to seeing the riches of the royal palace were shocked by what was in front of them. This made them a little helpless, and the pride and contempt that had just risen disappeared without a trace.

......

As soon as the so-called highnesses of the two countries were arranged, Zoya came to Bran's side. Curious, he asked, "What is this for?"

"They want to form an alliance. ”

"I'm asking the princess and the prince. Zoya accentuated her tone on the princess.

"You see she's a wizard, and she has good eyesight!" Bran complimented heartily, giving him a thumbs up.

Zoya blinked and continued to ask, "Is this going to learn from you?"

"I don't know. This kind of thing, you should ask her directly, not me. Bran smiled, "I just realized that you should find a female companion and make friends with her." ”

Looking at Bran's indifferent attitude, Zoya was in an inexplicably better mood. explained: "If you can't make friends, your identities are too different. Especially now, Green's royal family is gone, and they don't look down on aristocrats like us at all. ”

Bran laughed, "They're just going to stumble to you, to everyone in the house." Go ahead, you can invite our guests and show them around here. ”

......

Zoya had guessed correctly, and after a day's rest, the people of the Mulberry Leaf Kingdom asked Bran to teach their princess, Charlotte, with a generous gift.

This made the onlookers of the Hill Kingdom angry, and their royal family was unlucky and could not find a suitable candidate. But soon this red-eyed turned into schadenfreude, for Bran decisively refused the request.

Sashan thought that Bran didn't understand the meaning, so he carefully woke up: "We want her to serve you, you can ask for ......"

An invisible hand gripped his neck and snuffed out the words that followed him in his throat. Bran's voice rang out, "You should be glad she's only your princess, not a wizard from Northterland.

This is the Northland, the city of wizards!How dare you trade a wizard in this city!?"

Speaking of this, Bran sneered and let go of the clamp.

Sashan's face was flushed, and he calmed down with difficulty: "I don't mean to offend you, nor do I intend to offend the wizard, we just want to express the sincerity of the alliance." ”

After straightening his face, Sashan continued, "I ask for your forgiveness, and I hope she can still study here as a wizard. ”

"The city does not refuse the entry of wizards, nor does it refuse the study of wizards, as long as they obey the laws of this place, as long as they do not harbor ill will towards the city. Bran sighed and turned his head to Charlotte, who had been silent. "But are you really ready? Do you really want to study here as a wizard?"

Charlotte bowed and replied, "I'm ready." ”

Bran frowned and raised his voice slightly: "Think about it, and then answer." No one is making you sacrifice now, and no one is asking you to focus on the big picture. If you think that it is the ability, the identity of the wizard, that has put you in the situation you are in today, then you better go back, it is a waste of time to stay here. ”

Charlotte was a little unconvinced, and asked rhetorically, "Why?"

"When power comes out of our body, it is a response to us. Our fears, our expectations, eventually turned into our abilities, our dependence, and our transformation into wizards.

Now, you regard it as a disaster, how long has it been since your power has responded to you?"

Bran sighed, he had seen too many similar examples in the Northlands. In pursuit of the power of the flesh, he forgot about the abilities of the sorcerer. So much so that teenagers account for the majority of today's Northland wizards.
