Chapter 1: The War College and the History of Freljord
"Here...... It's true. β
Saying goodbye to Love, everyone looked at the building in front of them called the War College.
"A bunch of hillbillies, are you so surprised just to see the door?"
While everyone was admiring, a mocking voice sounded behind them, and everyone frowned and turned to look.
A man dressed in aristocratic clothes and with yellow hair was looking at them with disdain. In comparison, Fang Xiu and his party did dress like hillbillies.
"Look, isn't that Senator Gunn Stefki's son, Gunn Tate?"
"So handsome!"
"Guen Tate, who became an entry-level summoner at the age of ten, was promoted to a junior summoner at the age of fifteen and successfully summoned the Native Beast?"
"Didn't you think he needed to test it too?"
"The War College is very fair, but with the qualifications of the Tate Prince, he will definitely be able to pass the test without any suspense."
"It looks like there's going to be one less place again."
The crowd of onlookers immediately answered what everyone wanted to ask, and they didn't even need Tate to say it himself.
Hearing the crowd's discussions, Gunn Tate's face was extremely proud, yes. He is the Warcollege Councilor, the son of Gunn Stefki, who was born with a golden key.
"Haha, I'm really, how could I sarcastically say something sarcastic about a bunch of hillbillies." Gentat laughed loudly, and slowly walked past Fang Xiu and his group with the little brother behind him.
"What's going on?"
"Something?"
Everyone was puzzled.
"Forget it, let's go up too." Tedamir said he didn't want to say anything.
Everyone walked up the stairs, and Fang Xiu curiously touched the gate of the War Academy.
"This one might be obsidian, well...... It still smells of metal, and is it blessed with magic? Tedamir touched it, surmising.
"That's amazing, War College." Ash applauded.
Just one doorway is bigger than Freljord's castle.
After walking in, it was a different world, and one after another Hongda buildings appeared in front of everyone's eyes. People in uniform talked happily, and the whole thing exuded a youthful atmosphere.
Fang Xiu couldn't help but think of high school life, but the uniforms of this war college looked better than high school uniforms, I don't know how many times.
"Where is this academy, are you sure this is not a city?" Fang Xiu sighed.
"Yes, this is just a city, but the whole city is an academy!"
A familiar voice was heard, and everyone looked at it. An old man whose whole body is white except for his skin.
Rogge.
"Old man, how did you do it, do you know how hard it is for us to come all the way here?" Fang Xiu was furious when he saw Rogge.
Rogge was stunned, after serving as a councilor for so many years, Fang Xiu was still the first person who dared to call himself an old man.
Ash patted Fang Xiu's head angrily, "Can you show me some respect?" β
Rogge didn't pay much attention to it, but he still said with some doubts: "Lord Freljord's Patronus, what about Anivia?" Didn't she show you the way? β
His original intention was that after Anivia defeated the Frost Witch, he would just send everyone over. But that doesn't seem to be the case now.
"It's a shame if you're talking about her. She didn't show us the way. Fang Xiu placed his hands flat on his shoulders.
Ani let out a roar of joy and jumped onto Fang Xiu's palm.
"What is this?"
For the first time, everyone saw Rogge's shocked expression.
"She's Anivia. But I don't seem to remember anything now, do you know what's going on? Fang Xiu said helplessly.
"If I'm not mistaken, has Mistress Anivia already died once?" Rogge regained his composure and said.
"Well...... At that moment, he was killed by the Frost Witch and turned into an egg, and then came out of the egg and became like this. Fang Xiu said.
"That's bad." Rogge's expression was solemn, and he fell into deep thought.
If Anivia had been in this state, it would have been a difficult thing to do, without her help.......
"What's going on?" Fang Xiu wondered.
Everyone was also puzzled.
"Ever since the birth of Freljord, as a patron saint, Lord Anivia has been the guardian of Freljord, and she is also a symbol of immortality, and no one can kill her, because whenever she dies, she becomes a protective egg and is resurrected when she is sure to be safe."
"This is the second time in the history of the Valoran Continent that Lord Anivia has died. I don't know much about the specifics of the resurrection after death, but it is certain that the current Anivia-sama has not yet awakened a trace of power. Rogge reached out to touch Aini.
Dodged by the dexterous Aini. Rogge didn't pay much attention either.
"And how did you die the first time?" Fang Xiu asked curiously.
"According to history, the first time Lord Anivia died, it was when she and Avarosa fought against the Glacier Watchers."
Rogge said slowly, and at the same time aroused everyone's curiosity.
"Go there, and I'll tell you about it. You should know this story. Rogge slowly walked to the side of the stone bench and sat down.
The crowd immediately followed.
"That was a long, long time ago, when Freljord was arguably the most powerful place in the entire Valoran Continent, and it was the era of the Three Ice Sisters."
"The eldest sister is Serimada, the second sister is Alvarossa, and the youngest sister is Lisandro."
"The Glacier Watcher was born in Freljord with Lord Anivia. However, Lord Anivia did not rule over Freljord like the Glacier Watchers, but hid in the west on top of a large snowy mountain. β
"The Glacier Watchers shared their magic with the three sisters, giving them the ability to live forever, and in return for it, the three sisters gave them a vast empire. Until that day, the disappearance of the eldest sister Serimada aroused Avarosa's suspicions. After a lot of hard work, she finally discovered the conspiracy of the Glacier Watchers, which was to give the power of ice to humans, and when she regained it, the Glacier Watchers became even more powerful. β
"The eldest sister Seremada was the most powerful ice bloodline at the time, and the glacier watchers brutally killed her and took away her power."
"Avarosa knew about this terrible plot, if this continues, the entire Freeljord Empire will become a power extraction machine for the Glacier Watchers, and since that day, Avarosa has given up learning the magic of the Glacier Watcher, she has traveled all over Freljord, and on that day she met Anivia, from this true Freljord Patron Saint, learned a new will of ice."
"Soon after, Avarosa rebelled and led the people to retake Freljord, and finally in the battle with the Glacier Watchers, Anivia died and Avarosa defeated the Glacier Watchers, and Lisandro knew nothing at that time, she thought that Avarosa had betrayed everyone."
"After a long period of forbearance, until the appearance of the Frost Warden, who claimed to be a descendant of the Glacier Watcher, Lisandro gained great power."
"The naΓ―ve Lisandro trusted the Frost Warden, and on that day, completed her self-righteous revenge."
However, the sheer power of Avarosa and Master Anivia caused the Frost Wardens to flee into the plane-gate, and Lisandro was badly wounded in the battle. With the death of Alvarossa, the most powerful empire in Valoran was also divided. β
"And then that's what you've been through."
