Lin An and his entourage had a total of forty-five people, and Lancet also had twenty-four, so of course it was impossible for Master Rice to bring all of them back.

Looking at Lancet and the others, who were giving instructions to their guards, Master Rice took out a turquoise piccolo and put it to his mouth, and the mouthpiece blew out of a deep tone that did not match its short appearance.

Lin An's ears trembled slightly, and the dawn divine envoy's sensitivity to animal language made her hear that the voice was mimicking a voice that represented a strong summoning, and a shadow flashed overhead, and a huge figure appeared from high in the sky, swirling like a dead leaf falling from the treetops in autumn, and landed in the open space in the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion.

The huge creature was flattened, roughly irregular in shape, with a tail longer than its body dragging behind it, floating in the air as gently and leisurely as a fish in water, but as fast as the wind.

There was a noise outside the courtyard, but I don't know if there was an order, and no guards ran in, and the city lord of Cynthia City didn't dare to delay the time of these adults after that, so he didn't appear in front of everyone again.

"Flying Ray - Master Rice, is this your pet?" Lin An looked at the life that looked like a ray, but was thousands of times bigger than a ray, and his eyes lit up slightly.

The magic pet she is talking about is, of course, not the witch's magic pet that uses the summoning ritual to make a contract, allowing the witch to share abilities with the demon pet and even close to half of the body, but a magical beast that can be driven by mages through guò capture, cultivation and domestication, and through guò contract.

But Master Rice's flying rays are also far from being comparable to ordinary magical beasts, their body shape resembles close relatives in the ocean. It is countless times larger in size, but it is extremely dense and lighter than air, and can fly in the air like a swimming fish. Gentle temperament, not aggressive, but very scarce, usually living in the air that is difficult for people to reach, Lin An has not heard of anyone being able to catch flying rays.

"Not long after I was promoted to the ** division, I accidentally saved Hazel when I was traveling, and then it took the initiative to follow me, and there is no contract between us."

Seeing the old man who had been with him for nearly two hundred years, Master Rice's gaze was much gentler, and he reached out and touched the slightly raised front of Hazel. There was a slight gap there. It makes a soft cry like a baby.

"Flying rays are natural wind-type monsters. He was born at the third level, and when he became an adult, he usually reached the fifth or sixth level, and his strength was equal to that of the ** master and the Golden Sword Master. However, they have a mild temperament, and even when attacked, they will only flee and rarely fight back. It is said that flying rays never fall to the ground throughout their lives, and even when they die, their shells float high in the air, making it difficult for ordinary people to see their beauty. ”

Lin An whispered to Lancet and the others, motioning them to take a closer look at the underside of Hazel, which seemed to have landed on the ground, but was actually half a foot away from the ground.

Although Hazel was obviously an adult, he did not have the coercion of a high-level demonic beast at all, and his whole body was like a huge crystal. Crystal clear, it reflects a colorful light in the sun, like a halo around the body.

"A creature that never falls to the ground is so holy, it's so beautiful!"

Charles sighed, even Princess Elizabeth, who was a little absent-minded after learning about the marriage, her eyes showed admiration, but although Lancet had a faint smile, the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes.

"Come up." Master Rice was the first to walk on the back of Hajour.

Hazel's seemingly soft skin was so supple that it was like a sturdy rubber, and the five of Lin, Lance, Elizabeth, and Master Rice occupied less than one percent of Hazel's back.

The surrounding scene gradually rose up, and I didn't feel that Hazel was inciting the long wings on both sides, as smooth as sitting on a flat carpet, Hazel had risen rapidly into the air, and the colorful halo on its surface was like a protective film, protecting Lin An and the five people in it, and the wind in the sky could not affect the five people on their backs at all.

"Not good!"

Through Hazel's almost transparent body, the scenery on the ground is constantly changing, showing that Hazel is flying at an extremely high speed that cannot be felt, but Lin An suddenly remembered something, secretly called it bad, and felt slightly in his spirit, and found that Titi did not fall at all, and galloped below at a similar straight-line speed, not far or near, before he put his mind at ease.

"Fortunately, William has the ability to move in space, and he can move in a straight line on the ground, and there are many forests and grasslands along the way, so the endurance is not a problem."

After the Divine Kingdom, there is also a special connection between the Shadow Lynx and Titi, who is also favored by the plane as an emissary of the goddess of nature, and can be supplied by the natural power of the forest and travel long distances.

As soon as Lin An put his mind at ease, he heard Princess Elizabeth ask gently and politely: "...... Master Rice, can you tell us why my father suddenly asked us to go back and get married? ”

She said, sweeping the others, especially Leinster, pausing, "I think this is what we all desperately want to know." ”

For this subtle attitude, Lancet's expression was calm, but Lin Anxin felt slightly embarrassed, especially thinking that she had just expressed her encouragement to Elizabeth for the union of the two.

Master Rice could feel the undercurrent between these young people, secretly amused, and after looking at them with the gentle gaze of an elder, he spoke:

"I can't speculate on His Majesty's thoughts, but what I can tell you is that this is related to the battle situation on the northern front, the demon clan secretly planned a counteroffensive, according to expectations, the battle on the northern front is now the most intense."

"Undead again?" Having experienced that rout firsthand, Lin An and Lancet were both shocked and said in unison.

"No, it's an ice golem from the ubiquitous ice and snow on the ice field, so we suspect that this demon attack will be even more menacing than the last time!" Master Rice said solemnly.

As he spoke, he glanced at Lin An.

Lin An felt something, but he didn't know that Master Rice was also secretly glad in his heart at this time, when the emperor was critically ill, his thought was not in the way of Lin An's action, otherwise this ensuing bad news would make it worse for Merlin, who was in chaos.

……

Three days later, the ice field. The Mage Tower in the rear camp of the Chinese army, in a magical room.

An ice golem that looked like a real person was lying on the platform, and through the deep wound in its chest, it was possible to see a fist-sized heart inside that was slightly different from the Ice and Snow Drive. The quaint incantation was briefly recited, and the heart of ice and snow flew out, and the body of the ice golem shattered into a lump of ice and snow with a clatter, and the ice melted.

The heart that left the puppet's body did not stabilize for too long, and it was just less than two feet away, and the energy that was originally stable suddenly exploded, and a cold cold air spread with the explosion, but it seemed to hit an invisible wall out of thin air, and was restrained by the magic circle of the real platform in a sphere less than two feet square.

Mourinho didn't care, and tapped his finger. Another imprisoned ice golem flew onto the platform.

The explosions continued one hundred and forty-eight times.

“…… Ha ha. I understand! The exterior is ice and snow. In fact, the essence is still the undead! It's just that the shell material has been changed from the body of the deceased to the ice and snow everywhere on the ice field! But as long as its core is still negative energy, positive energy is still their nemesis......"

Mourinho muttered to himself for a while. Suddenly, he raised his hand and released a ball of light, and the ball of light swept a short distance and touched a complete ice golem, but it did not work as expected, the ice golem only broke one arm, and the light in his eyes dimmed a little.

“…… By the way, with ice and snow as the shell, the defense is greatly increased, especially on the ice field, as if you are in the ice and snow field, as long as you don't break the core. These ice golems can be regenerated at any time, and according to data gathering, they have basic abilities such as auto-recovery, self-detonation, and ice and snow stealth, and the weaknesses of the undead are limited to the core...... It is suspected that the necromancer is a new branch, which can be named the ice and snow undead, and according to known speculation, the demon race has greatly improved the original undead transformation method......"

A piece of parchment flew in the air, and the quill automatically wrote Mourinho's words, Mourinho tapped a magic symbol on the side of the platform, and a mage apprentice came in.

"Go, go and show the garbage in the command, let them send them to the front line as much as possible, and the rear command!"

The apprentice bowed and hurriedly took the parchment, and the afterglow inadvertently swept over the handwriting on it, and was startled, "Or, or the undead?" Ice undead?! ”

His face was pale, he didn't dare to stay, and ran in a hurry.

……

A quarter of an hour later, the command of the Chinese army.

"What! Didn't you say it was an ice puppet? How did they become undead again, so to speak, these puppets were still made by those damned necromancers of the demon race! ”

"Shit! Our soldiers now have to guard not only against their slain comrades, but also against ice and snow, so why don't you tell them to die directly? ”

The two officers slammed the table and cursed in a hoarse voice.

"That's not right! The real point is that they can stealth through the snow and ice, ignoring our battle formations and camps! Damn, quickly notify the front line, recycle the front! Recycle the front! ”

A young officer sitting in a corner roared.

The officers present were stunned for a moment, quickly understood what the young officer meant, and were shocked!

"It's late, it's late!"

The door to the conference room slammed open, and a senior staff member walked in in a dejected manner, holding a telegram in his hand:

"Yesterday morning, the ice golem crossed the defensive line...... The Blood Flamingo Legion fell, the White Shadow Legion fell, and the Sea Legion fell...... The rout, repeated! ”

***

When the evil news from the front line had just arrived in Houying, Lin An and his entourage had just landed outside the imperial capital after three days and two nights of flight.

After Hazel put down the five people, he rose into the air again, circled around the head of Master Rice with affection, and slowly flew towards the sky, while Lin An said to Titi in his spirit, and then entered the imperial capital with the group without delay.

Lin Anci's mission on this trip was to escort Princess Elizabeth, so after entering the capital, he broke up with Master Rice and others, and after returning to the Earl's Palace, the entire deserted Earl's Palace was re-enlivened by the return of the master.

Unconsciously, Lin An also had some feelings for this Earl's Palace, and after leaving for more than two months, returning to the Earl's Mansion also made her smile a little.

But as soon as she walked downstairs to the main building, she was stunned and sensed the aura of a strange and powerful uninvited guest in her study.

(To be continued)

ps：

It's a little late today.

By the way, I forgot to say it in the previous chapter, and in chapter 631 before, it was Master Ulysses who came to pick up Elizabeth, and this master had already gone to the ice field with the masters of the Mage Tower, which I mentioned earlier, and I didn't find out until the previous chapter, and now it's changed to Master Rice, and the chapter that went wrong has also been changed - well, it's this little bug, and it's sauce purple.
