Act One Hundred and Nine: Eternity X
"Your Excellency, Commander, we have walked almost two miles forward, and we will not be able to see the mountain that was used as a landmark behind us, and we will probably get lost if we go any further......" The Knight of Cruz patted the snow on his breastplate, and looked at the sky with some concern - the cold wind pushed the snowflakes and whistled between the heavens and the earth, and this blizzard came so suddenly that no one had time to prepare - the knight looked at the bad weather with some concern, The female knight in front presented her own opinion, New World 1620 Read the full text.
Freya stopped, and her opponent sighed in her heart, her face red from the cold, and her eyebrows covered with frost. But Freya blinked, and replied, "No, if we go another five hundred meters, they will not be able to go far." ”
"Freya, if they were injured, we should have chased them a long time ago, no one can run too far in this weather." Nimesis's voice came from behind, everyone turned their heads, and the female knight was still as calm as ever, and at the same time reminded in a cold tone: "There is something strange here, have you forgotten what Brende said to them?" ”
"But it could be a phantom on the ice sheet, a refraction of sunlight, or a snow shadow in the Crystal Forest, all of which could produce a similar illusion—"
"He said he saw a wolf, do you understand what that means?" Nimesis interrupted: "This storm is brought by a wolf, which does not bode well, and the Miner fear the wolf, because the wolf is part of the twilight, representing doom and the destruction of the world. ”
"But...... Didn't everyone else see it? Freya didn't know the bottom of her heart, and she looked at the white expanse in the depths of the snow. I always felt that there was a pair of pale eyes watching them from behind the snow shadow. Others feel the same way, and they always feel that this glacier is malicious to people, and it feels like a silent stranger will pop up behind you, which is terrifying.
The howling of the wind was like a long, mournful wail.
Nimersis paused for a moment, her voice was like a frozen slag of ice and she looked at the others coldly: "There is no impossibility in the Black Forest, everything is possible. If you have a hunch that something bad is going to happen, then it is bound to get worse. ”
Of course, the knights of Cruz had heard this proverb and did not feel their scalps tingle. Freya hesitated. It was at this moment that a man suddenly stumbled out of the wind and snow in the distance, and that person was the second group of scouts sent out not long ago. Their mission was to find the first scouts they had sent out half an hour earlier, but Freya's heart sank slightly when she saw the look on this man's face.
"Little Pelo, Alaya, Your Excellency Commander...... Emerald and Anika ......"
"What's going on—"
"Shut up, Alaya, and let the Commander ask questions." Before Freya could speak, the knight behind her was the first to speak, but little Pelo, who was beside Freya, turned around and interrupted the man.
The emaciated black-haired knight exhaled softly, forcing his companion back with an icy gaze.
"It's okay...... What's going on? Freya has no time to be distracted. She looked at the scout and asked, "What's wrong with them?" ”
"I don't know...... When we found them...... They've ...... It's already ......" The scout's shoulders almost trembled, and the faces of the others instantly sank at the sight of him like this. They are comrades-in-arms, and they are classmates who graduated from the same class. They vowed to make a name for themselves in the next holy war, but today, they have fallen in this small place, and what happened here will not even be remembered by anyone.
"How could anything, how could something kill them? In this damn backcountry! The knight couldn't help but scold angrily.
"Shut up. Alaya! To him, little Pelo still coldly reprimanded. But he turned his head and his gaze fell on Freya.
Freya's heart was also a little low, this was the first time her subordinates had suffered casualties, and for a moment she even remembered Beth's face. But the future Valkyrie blinked, shook her head and said, "Who killed them?" Are they halflings? ”
"Your Excellency, Commander...... Emerald and Anika ......" Scout's face showed a look of fear: "They died a strange death......"
"Weird?"
"I can't say it, and we can't see what killed them. There were no visible wounds on their bodies, as if they had been drained of blood, but there were no vampire bite marks on them......"
He took a deep breath and said with wide eyes: "That guy Loro said that they were frozen to death, and there are ghosts in the ice and snow that will extract people's essence, but I think that guy is talking nonsense......"
"Who is Loro?" Freya turned around.
"He's of mountain and miner blood, and he's a god-to-god guy." Pelo Jr. replied.
Freya was a little strange, she didn't expect the empire to discriminate against the mountain people and the Min'er people, but her mind only stayed on this matter for a short moment, and then replied, "Take us over and have a look." ”
"Freya, have you thought about it?" But on the side, Nimesis frowned at the decision.
"Senpai," Freya looked up, "Brando is jealous, and the Eruin are not vengeful people, whether they are Cruz or not, but they died at my hands, I don't want to avenge them immediately, but at least find out who killed them." ”
"I understand." Nimesis replied lightly, she grabbed the reins of the Heroic Horse, as if she had expected Freya to answer like this, but said, "I'm just reminding you that you have thought it through. ”
"I've thought it through—"
Freya replied categorically, her words piercing through the wind and snow, leaving everyone stunned, but the Cruz people finally agreed with her look.
……
Leonerit? Aurelius looked at the silhouette of the figure that was becoming more and more obvious in the wind and snow, his face was slightly darkened and barely looked like a member of the royal family, but this did not mean that he did not pay attention to the qiē that was happening around him, at least the young man who was slowly approaching him on his horse fell under his eyes.
"His Highness Lenaret." Haruzer was a little envious when he saw this tall young man, who was also the first in line to the throne, the same as him, but much calmer than him. For so long, the other party barely said a word except for reporting his name, and this steadiness made him very curious, and Haruzer was eager to know how to do better in his identity, and how to be so confident.
Leonerit? Aurelius glanced back at the young man and replied, "Your Highness Haruzer, under the rule of the Temple of Fire, you and I are on equal footing, and you don't need to lag behind me, which is against the etiquette of the two countries. ”
Haruzer blushed, he didn't expect that he had mistaken the etiquette all of a sudden, he didn't actually mean it, but he was used to following his sister or teacher behind him, and when he was reminded, he hurriedly loosened the reins and stepped forward.
"Your Highness Leonarete, have you ever thought about the fact that you will inherit a huge empire in the future, thousands of people, their future depends on your hands, have you ever thought about what if...... What happens if you do it wrong? I'm sorry, but that's rude to say...... But I think about it a lot. Haruzer asked in a whisper.
"It's not rude." "Of course I have thought about it, and it is part of my authority and responsibility," Lenarat replied. As for the millions of people, their future depends on my hand, and you are right, if I do it right, they will sing praises, and if I am wrong, they will be responsible. ”
When Haruze heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes: "How can this be? ”
"Because at that time, I will be the supreme emperor, and in this capacity, I will naturally maintain the majesty of imperial power. It's the same for you, and you'll understand it when you get to a certain age. Heaven has given us this power, and we should be careful to maintain it. ”
Leonerit? Aurelius looked up and replied proudly.
"But isn't it the duty of a member of the royal family to fulfill the contracts of the nobles and bring a happier and more stable life to his people?" Haruzer was dumbfounded.
"Who sued you about this?" Lenaret asked, looking back.
"It's the teacher, and the sister......" replied the little prince in a whisper.
"What they say is wrong, your sister is just a woman, and the Earl must have other plans." The eldest son of the emperor replied lightly.
Haruzer felt that there was something wrong with this, but he didn't know where to refute it for a while, and couldn't help but snort: "But, but the teacher is a very upright and learned man, and if you discuss it with him, Your Highness Lenaret, you will definitely understand this." ”
"No, I don't." Leonerit? Aurelius replied, "Haruze, here you are the only one who has the right to speak to me on an equal footing, and I have no need to listen to the others—even in your country, Your Royal Highness, the Lord Count, who is not yet a great minister, and you should learn to choose your power—"
Haruzer was slightly stunned and nodded as if he didn't understand.
At the same moment, Brando saw a certain silver elf princess who had come through the snowstorm. He tossed a candy to Star, who was not far behind him, and the fat dragon ran behind happily, before he looked up and asked Medisa in the first sentence:
"Hasn't Freya come back yet?"
"I'm sorry, my lord, I didn't try to persuade her." Medisa frowned and shook her head a little worriedly.
"It's not your fault."
Brando looked up at the changing sky and replied softly, "I know Freya's character, this weather is a bit strange, but maybe we have to go against the wind...... Yesterday and today, I was a little uncomfortable, and it seems that I can't get the full attendance this month, so I am speechless...... (To be continued)
