In fact, Aine wanted to ask more than this one question, but after listening to Harden's answer, he felt that there was no need to ask the remaining questions.

The purpose of his coming to Harden is to find out what the people of Rissel now, especially those who live at the bottom, think of this country and the nobility of this country.

Even if the results of the investigation may only take a sample of Harden, it is a bit biased, but combined with what Aine knew in the game in his previous life, it is basically the same.

This kingdom, which had been established since the Fourth Age and was relatively northern, had begun to erode from the entire upper layer. The people of the country no longer trust those who govern, those who hold power, those who are privileged, and the basic peace of life they need has been completely destroyed by these powerful nobles, especially after a certain war.

Sitting in his tent, Aine did not choose to rest, but began to take stock of what he had encountered and deduced since the beginning of the winter year.

For a person who knows the South well, being forced to live in the northwest is a very uncomfortable place for Ain, but he needs his family and his identity.

Maybe the Lannisters don't have any very good assets left, but as long as they do a little bit of other side hustles, maintain the dignity of their status, and ensure the cost of their current arcane research, it is not difficult at all - this is a kind of stability, the kind of stability that a solid mage wants.

"A steady mage never leaves himself on the brink of a cliff." In his previous life, Ain taught him a certain mage group member in his adventure group who was forced to reshape his role because of the exhaustion of resurrections, "Don't always think about making big news, but step by step do what you can do at the moment, and then try to do something that the current standard is a little higher." It's ambitious, and it's not a compliment. ”

And Ain's decision to go to the Northwest Fortress is also because he feels that this matter is still within his ability, and with the Master of Prophecy on his side, even if there is no turnaround, it should not be a problem to retreat.

But Ain didn't estimate so many variables later, and until now, his position and that of Rutherford, the master of prophecy, have had absolutely no overlap.

From the moment he dealt with the magical siege engines known as "Comet Fall" in Warneburg, Aine had been skewed off from his original predictions.

The legendary ruins were a process of nine deaths, and after all three of his companions disappeared from the main material plane due to their lack of understanding of the arcane arts as a mage, Ain discovered the location of a relatively complete floating city in the early days of the Arcanist Empire of the Third Age.

As for being in the Floating City, he was also forced to use that irreversible damage to forcibly trigger the most powerful magic item in his hand again, the Rainbow Light Orb Ring that reached the legendary item level, to save his life, but after teleporting out of the Floating City, he also completely staggered the scheduled rendezvous with the prophetic master Rutherford in White Mountain City.

Most of Rutherford is now on the way back to Far Winter City, and he is still within the range of the side, and he doesn't know if he will encounter any accidents when he enters Fort Sophie tomorrow - because in the historical process of the game in his previous life, this Sir Sophie has almost no resistance, and after the city wall is breached, he directly surrendered Drew's bone frame, and then ordered his own soldiers to assist Drew's army in slaughtering the entire human race in Fort Sophie, turning them into Drew's cannon fodder skeletons.

Count out that tomorrow is the eighteenth day of the Melting Moon, five days before the date when the bone shelf of the previous life appeared within the boundaries of Fort Sophie.

Aine didn't expect Sir Sophie to use the poor soldiers in Fort Sophie to stop the skeletons, but at least he wanted to prevent the death of innocent civilians.

If you want to say regret, now Ain does regret a little, he shouldn't have participated in the almost doomed war of the Winter Year, even if he had a way to hold White Mountain City, it was just an expedient measure.

Thinking of this, Ain couldn't help but sneer, and laughed at himself to himself: "What about keeping it for the time being...... It still can't change the fate of the entire Rysel's decay, it's better to make this collapse a little more violent......"

Indeed, although White Mountain City is also a war fortress guarding the throat of the pass, for those Drew's troops who have no sense of fatigue at all and are not afraid of the cold, they can spend some time and then go around to the rear of White Mountain City - but this kind of march is not suitable for all armies for Drew, such as those most basic cannon fodder skeletons and zombies, there is no way to cross the snow cliffs higher in the White Mountain Range.

"But then again, my goal has somehow become to protect those civilians......" Ain couldn't help but smile, "Now that it's going on, I'm still going to the south...... Although Winterfell was still a safe place after the war, it was no longer for me. Originally, I wanted to change the outcome of the Battle of Winter, and then win the opportunity for me to develop silently in the northwest, but now it seems that ...... I had to take the plunge and go to that place in the south......"

……

Instead of resting directly, Aine casually released a light spell and took out the magic book that Grian had given him before leaving.

Although there are no spells of the Necromancy School and the Prophecy School, the analysis of the spells of other schools is still more detailed.

Even for Ain, learning a new spell doesn't require these parsing to become proficient - as long as he understands the structure of a spell, the magic pool can complete the process of parsing to proficiency on Ain's behalf. But these analysis of spells are the most basic things of arcane, and now that Ain, who has come into contact with the third layer of the magic web, can no longer use those opportunistic methods to deepen his magic net attainments, more study and research are necessary.

In fact, as long as Ain is given a period of time to calm down and study, the four rings are not an obstacle for Ain, and even this period of time is not very long. From a certain point of view, after a mage comes into contact with the fourth layer of the magic net, he can be counted as a low-level mage who has escaped.

But the path of a true mage can only be regarded as the true beginning after reaching the five rings and condensing the true name. Human beings are different from other races, and only when their own strength reaches a certain bottleneck will they begin to condense their true names, and many races also have external creatures, such as the demons of the Endless Abyss, who have had a real name since they were born.

As there is a saying that has been circulated in the mouths of NPCs in previous games: while not every being with a real name is powerful, those who do not have a real name are always weak.

"If I can condense my real name before I get to the South, what I am going to do in the South can guarantee a certain success rate......

The official resumption of the two-watch guarantee will begin next week.
