In the wooden house covered by wind and snow, the bonfire is red. 「」

"Hahahaha! You guys went out to steal it, and the smell of meat hasn't been washed clean! ”

The squad leader of the military station patted the recruit's shoulder roughly, and the recruit struggled with red faces, and he didn't know if he was being photographed or said.

"He also told me that he saved a mage, and the lord only shared your meat to eat in return, tsk, I think you two must be digging out the pheasant in the snow to steal their mouths, and they didn't wipe their mouths after eating and were exposed, so they made an excuse, and what else did you say Master Mage, do you think Master Mage will come to our ghost place......

The captain of the station suddenly lost his voice.

Because a young man in a dark blue robe appeared in front of the door, lifted the coarse curtain in front of the door, and stared at him calmly with dark brown eyes.

The young man had short ear-length hair, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and most importantly, his robe was unusually neat, and the snowflakes that blew in outside the door seemed to have eyes, and when they reached an inch of the surface of his body, they automatically went around.

"Big, big, ......" the captain of the military station stammered. Such a young man with an obvious temperament and appearance was standing in front of him, and the old man who was slamming at him behind the young man was automatically ignored. 「」

"Captain Gabi, I've heard of you from my two benefactors......"

The young man was gentle and polite, without the slightest arrogance, and even used honorifics in the title, which made Captain Gabi feel flattered-

“…… As a result, I'm already lost and not familiar with the neighborhood, and walking on the ice field is a dangerous thing to do on my own. So for the sake of where I want to go, I'd like to get some help from nearby allies, and if you can, I'd like you to help me contact the fort where your station belongs......"

***

The fortress made of black and blue stone is already in sight, and the blue fleur-de-lis banner fluttering at the head of the city can be seen in the distance.

Perhaps because the people near the fortress are far more popular than the deserted places where the military station is stationed, the snow mastiff Dorjee is a little excited. Leading the way at a trot.

"Look, Master Lynn, Grant Fortress has arrived!"

One of the benefactors, the recruit Carl, was as excited as his snow mastiff, and while stretching out his finger, he turned back to wave to Lin An, who was known as Lynn.

The military station is one of the garrisons of the Grant Fortress, with a total of more than forty or fifty people, and in order to escort Lin An, the military station is divided into six people. "It's the limit.

Such a small team does not give people a sense of threat. Gabi, the captain of the station, had already run under the city wall, and someone at the head of the city probed and waved a flag downward.

……

Half a day later, Lin An met with the top military commander of Grant Fortress, General Matthew.

Enter the door from Lin An. General Matthew was watching her:

It was a young man in his early thirties at most, dressed in a dark blue robe. The face is a little pale, the eyebrows are soft, and the appearance is not eye-catching. However, looking at people's eyes is steady, even if they look at him head-on, their eyes do not float, showing that their inner will is firm and their temperament is quite restrained.

General Matthew nodded inwardly. I have some good feelings in my heart.

The place where the meeting took place did not seem to be the official office of General Matthew, but looked more like the general's study, except that there was not much decoration, and the walls on both sides were hung with crossed swords and shields. The edges of the sword and shield are open, as can be seen from the chisel marks on them. They should have actually been on the battlefield.

The interior color is coarse, the black of the wall is the background, the lines are coarse, very concise, with a strong military atmosphere. 「」

This meeting does not seem to be regarded as a very formal official business, except for Lin An and the two, there is only one clerk in the study, sitting in a corner on the side of the big desk, and he does not have a strong sense of zài, only when Lin An came in, he got up to greet him, and from his movements, Lin An did not see any martial arts temperament.

The first time he had met a stranger at close range, the highest military commander of the fortress did not even bring a personal bodyguard, and it seemed that he was quite confident in his own strength—judging by the attitude of the clerk, he had long been accustomed to it.

But that's right, this General Matthew doesn't look more than fifty years old, judging from the average age of the nobles in this plane, just in the prime of life, just when he is striving to move up, if Lin An is him, he will also put on such a perennial appearance, indicating that he is young and energetic to the people above him.

"Hello, General Matthew."

"Hello, please be seated." Matthew sat behind the large desk and didn't get up.

In fact, with his status, there was no need to ask about a little mage apprentice, so Lin An was very surprised when he was told that the supreme chief had received him, but he could roughly guess his intentions.

Lin An sat down across from the desk and looked at the indoor environment generously. 「」

"How?" Matthew asked with interest when he saw her move.

"It's a little simpler, but it's very historic." Lin An replied.

Matthew smiled, the nasolabial folds at the corners of his mouth loomed, and his face was a little softened, which was seen by Lin An: It can be seen that this general is more self-denying, but he is easy-going.

"Mage Lynn, right? To be honest, I'm a little surprised by your arrival, but not very surprised, and although Grant hasn't taken in many lost mages in recent years, you're not the only one—"

The Northern Front was a very long front, mainly defended by the Merlin Empire and its vassals, but this did not mean that there were only armies belonging to Merlin and his subjects on the Northern Front:

According to the famous "Treaty of Gaunt" signed by the three major empires, Merlin contributed people, and the two empires south of the Rocky Mountain, Perre and the Holy Empire, contributed money and food, in addition, the northern front did not prevent anyone from joining in the war against the demons, such as the official armies of the two empires, but it needs to be discussed separately.

In short, the Northern Front is a great battle line for the Terrans to defend against the Demons, and anyone can participate in it, but it generally needs to be arranged by the Northern Front's Command - but if it is a sporadic ability to enter the ice field privately, in fact, it is impossible to prevent it. 「」

What Lin An is using now is the identity of this kind of traveling ability.

“…… According to you, you are not a nobleman? ”

"Yes, my companion and I hired some mercenaries to enter the northern front together, only to have to separate from them because of some mistakes." Lin An bowed slightly.

"I see, I thought it was the battle upstream that caused your separation......" Matthew looked at him with a sudden realization.

Lin An remembered the words he heard before he was trapped in the water boat and rescued, and suddenly knew in his heart that this was a temptation, "As far as I know, there was no battle in the place where I came, of course, maybe the road we took was relatively remote and happened to be avoided." ”

"Maybe that's what you say." Matthew's expression didn't move at all, and he didn't feel a little weak, "Then according to what the soldiers who brought you here said, you need our help, so what are Lynn's plans for the future?" ”

"Actually, I've just been in the ice field for a short time, and when I first arrived, I don't know much about the surrounding environment, and I don't know if my companions will come to me, if I can, I hope to stay in Grant for a while, and in the meantime, I'm willing to contribute to your legion."

Matthew looked a little disappointed on his face.

"Any questions, Lord Matthew?"

"Oh, no," replied Matthew, "I certainly welcome someone of your calibre to join the fortress, but it doesn't seem like I'm going to stay here for long?" ”

"Yes, I entered the ice field to train, and if I can't join my companions after a while, then I will probably hitchhike with the next army passing through here and go to the front."

"I'm really stunned, even if I don't plan to stay, I don't have to say it to the general so directly!" The clerk on the side recorded the conversation between the two of them, and at the same time thought to himself, "The general has wasted his efforts this time, if he hadn't heard that he was a high-level apprentice, he wouldn't have put down his shelf like this." ”

Of course, Lin An did it on purpose.

After two days of drifting in the stream, she has long been away from the ice valley, and even if the demon returns to the hot spring cave and finds her leaving, she will probably only look for it nearby, and I didn't expect her to run so far, after all, she is just a little apprentice mage.

However, it is difficult to ensure that the means that the ** master can have are unimaginable to the mage apprentice, although Lin An has already used the transfer method of drifting in the stream, which is almost impossible to leave a trace, but if the other party is determined to find it, for the ** master who has comprehended the teleportation technique, the distance is not an obstacle.

However, Lin An's supplies had indeed run out, and although his physical condition had almost recovered by his own recovery strength, if he encountered a similar situation on the ice field again, it was likely that he would be called Tiantian.

What's more, there will be a lot of dangers in walking on the ice field itself, she now lacks the power of nature with positive attributes, and the buff potions in the space, such as healing water and the like, because she didn't expect that she would lack the power of nature on the ice field, so she exchanged a lot of them before entering the northern line, and now that she thinks about it, she is really not as good as the sky.

Therefore, she is now in urgent need of supplies and medicines, but alone, although she has a lot of property on her, she can't show her white, if she wants to increase her value, of course, she has to take it and sell it at a price.

And in a hurry for something, she now needs a stable place and a lot of free time to recuperate, and she will not run to the ice field for the time being, so this fortress Grant on the rear defense line that belongs to Stuart is geographically just in line with Lin An's needs-

To be honest, when he just poked the wind from the mouth of the soldier at the station, Lin An was also startled:

She never imagined that the valley that the demon had brought her to with spatial teleportation was already at the junction of Atlanta and Stuart's defensive range, and she drifted southwest with the stream without realizing it, and finally deviated greatly from the original route, and reached the hinterland behind Stuart's second line of defense, which was already close to the range of the last line of defense.

Because when she first arrived at this plane, the place where she landed was the Stuart border, and Lin An certainly had a natural affinity for Stuart.

However, after walking on the ice field for a long time, the news was blocked, and Lin An only learned from Bren, that the current situation in Stuart had attracted Merlin's intervention, but he did not know which side won the game.

Therefore, even if Lin An had the family crest of the Baronial Castle as a token, he didn't dare to take it out until he found out the situation. (To be continued.)
