As a Nord New Year, even the Standar vigilantes with their own beliefs will gather together lively. Compared to a few years ago, the number of Standa vigilantes has obviously increased a lot.

The Hall of the Vigilant has been renovated by Tolan once, and this time the area is comparable to the area of the Nine Holy Spirit Church in Nasol City. Of course, the luxury of the decoration and other aspects are naturally far from comparable. Although the area has expanded a lot, it is still a little crowded when the vigilantes drag their families to the dinner. Not to mention this New Year, and their comrades-in-arms, the Dawn Guards came to spend it with them.

"Islam! You guy just got here the day before the New Year! Tolan put his arm around the shoulders of the stout Dawn Guard, his tone full of teasing. You can't be too cowardly to come! ”

"Cut ......," Islaon snorted softly when he heard Tolan's teasing. I didn't think our plan was a bit risky, so I made a few more preparations. ”

"Oh?" Tolan pretended to be surprised, although he had already guessed something in his heart, he still wanted to get the exact news from the boss who was guarding the dawn in front of him.

"I've been so busy these past few months that my feet don't touch the ground......," said Islam, gulping down all the honey wine in front of him. First we doubled the size of the Dawn Guard, then we went to summon a few old friends, then we upgraded our weapons, obtained a few drawings from several previously marked ruins, and then went to Snow City to buy a batch of ore......"

With that, Islaon paused slightly, lifted his cloak and showed Tolan a golden crossbow at his waist.

"It's ...... The crossbow machine of the half-moon collar?! The moment Tolan saw the color, the pretended surprise turned into real surprise. Wait a minute...... This process is a little worse than the half-moon collar process, but it's still much stronger than the steel crossbow you used before......"

"Tsk...... Look at you like this......" Islaon untied the crossbow on his waist and handed it to Tolan: "I want the craftsmanship of the half-moon collar too...... It's a pity that Lord Wei Xu looks at this craft very much, not to mention the technology, even the finished products are also prohibited items in the Half Moon Collar, and some will be circulated on the black market, but those are completely insufficient for our equipment......"

"That's already good, don't forget that we have this absolute advantage against vampires!" Tolan stroked the handle of the crossbow, and the confidence in his tone intensified. "That bow, as long as we shoot an arrow at the sun at that time, will definitely have a huge advantage!"

"Speaking of which...... When do we depart? Hearing Tolan talk about his plans this time, Islam asked.

"Time waits for no one, after such a long time, the Lord Hakang must also know the news that we have obtained the artifact, and he will definitely make a move on this! We have to start as soon as possible on this issue, a point at night is a point of disadvantage for us! Speaking of business, Tolan involuntarily stopped the knife and fork in his hand and spoke solemnly.

"Hmm...... This time, I've brought all of the Dawn Guard's belongings, armed hounds, armed trolls, and all the Dawn Guard warriors...... And because of Lord Wei Xu's ban, I can only camp in the wild...... And I have to pay a deposit to the half moon, what a mess...... At that time, I didn't have enough money, and I even gave them a copy of the crossbow machine design I had gotten earlier......" Islam said, remembering the words that Wei Xu sent to him when they were about to enter the Half Moon Realm, which caused him to be dissatisfied.

"Come on, you little half a thousand people are going to enter the Half Moon Territory, Lord Wei Xu still gave you access because we were dealing with the problem of vampires, otherwise you can see if the Half Moon Leader's army will kill you as a robber. At that time, the gold coins and crossbow machine blueprints will all be handled by the Half Moon Leader, and even your life will be handled by the Half Moon Leader......" Tolan grinned, obviously very happy that his old friend had suffered at the hands of Lord Wei Xu.

"......" gloated over Tolan's schadenfreude, and Islam replied with silence full of black lines.

"Then it's decided, tonight feast all the watchmen and dawn guards, prepare for the day tomorrow, and officially set off the day after tomorrow! This time, in the name of the vigilantes, we will take a boat from the Windhelm City ferry port to Wakiharborg! Tolan squeezed his palm slightly, and there was an unmistakable firmness in his tone.

"Well, that's it!" Islaon raised his glass, colliding with Tolan's with a crisp clanging sound, and the two of them drank the contents of the glass......

Half Moon City, Hall of Lords.

Wei Xu had already finished reading Joblin's report, and he slowly spread out and folded the letter in front of him, repeating it constantly.

Suddenly, he stopped what he was doing and asked, "What's going on with Evosis?" ”

"She's been annoyed to death by the combination of the Snow Elves and the Oathbreakers now, and there won't be much movement for a while." Beside Wei Xu, Derman, who had just passed by with his daughter, paused lightly and whispered.

It's really annoying to deal with this kind of thing at the banquet, but the problem is that these things are not so serious that Wei Xu must leave to deal with them in the conference hall. But the good news is that it's almost time for the ball, and everyone is not sitting in a fixed position, they are all walking around the long table or toasting each other. Few people noticed Wei Xu here, or if someone did, they would immediately look away because of Wei Xu's serious face.

"Then you should pay more attention to that side, I always feel a little uneasy, I don't know why......" Wei Xu said with a frown, a flame rising from his hand to burn the letter paper to ashes.

"Yes!" Derryman nodded slightly, and then walked over with his little daughter to the long table where dessert was served.

Not long after Derryman left, a delicate little hand held a wine glass in front of Wei Xu.

"I wonder if I'm lucky enough to invite you to a dance? Lord Wei Xu? Serana's voice also reached Wei Xu's ears with this action.

……

On the ruins of Wintercastle Mage Academy.

"Cankul ......," Haakon said softly, looking at the Count in front of him, who was respectful to him.

"Your Excellency, you command."

"You've made me a good offer now, but the more time that artifact is in the hands of the Standar Wardens, I'm going to be restless. So I'm going to let you continue from here, enter the Half Moon Realm, and wait for the opportunity to teach those vigilantes a lesson, and at the same time snatch the artifact back! ”

"......" Kankul hesitated slightly and saw Haakon's eyes about to kill, and had no choice but to respond: "Obey the order, my lord!" ”
