Chapter 40: The Upheaval of the Snowy Federation

With tears in her eyes, Ishenova told the brothers Cassius and Ray about the tragedy that day

When she woke up, she found herself in Vera, a port city in the southern part of the Western Lothu Kingdom, hundreds of miles away, which was why Ischenova had appeared at the docks of Vila City with nothing to lose

As for why she begged the captains who had gone south to take her on board, the purpose was to find Cassius, because in her heart there was only that simple, gentle and powerful fat brother who could help her, because Ischenova had heard Elena mention that Cassius was a Pole, and that he had left the Snowy Federation to return to his hometown and reunite with his childhood friends who had been separated for ten years

But more than half a month has passed, and the captain of a ship is willing to piggyback on her, if Cassius and Ray had not come to Port Vila at this time, maybe Ischenova would have become a starving corpse and been abandoned in a mass grave, but it was precisely because Cassius appeared at this opportune time that the simple girl believed that Cassius was the savior given to her by destiny

After the death of her father and her mother, the madness of her mother, the loss of both her parents overnight, and the possibility of continuing to lose more, after recounting that horrible night, Ishinova leaned on Cassius's shoulder and wept loudly, and now only crying to her heart is the best cure for her heart

Cassius looked up to the sky and sighed bitterly, while Ray held his spear in silence

In fact, Ischenova only told Cassius what happened after she was awakened by her parents that night, and what happened before, including the strange things that her mother encountered on the way home, Ischennova did not tell Cassius, not that she had reservations about Cassius, but that she had no idea what had happened to her mother

However, although Ishennova didn't see it, Cassius could also speculate from her account about what might have happened that night in Lea Mogova, because Ischenova mentioned a detail that her mother had lost her pupils in both eyes on the night of her madness—and Cassius saw a clue from that

In addition to the most complete collection of magic and alchemy materials in Olopa, the National Library of the Snowy Federation also has a secret archive about the heavy events in Olopa's history, Cassius saw the relevant records from a book collected in the First Ring District, although he is not qualified to enter the First Ring District with his current mage level, but Regunor often secretly brings out some of the books in it for him to read (otherwise, Cassius would not be able to use the Maple Dance Frost Bloom, which only the mage of the Second Ring is qualified to learn, to defeat the necromancer Greston)

The mystery of Yiqiē will only become clear when they return to the Snowy Federation, anyway, the purpose of the two brothers' return to the Snowy Federation this time is also to ask Regunor for help - I don't know how Reguno is now

The town of Venirus in the northern part of the West Lotfield Kingdom

Located south of the Boundary Mountains, less than 10 kilometers from the entrance to the Valley of Sin, the town of Venylus is the closest town in the West Lotz Kingdom to the Snowy Federation, and with its unique geographical location, the town of Venylus was the place where the Crusaders had the most troops outside of the Arkon Fortress when they fought a large-scale battle with the French army of the Snowy Federation ten years ago

In times of peace, the town of Venylus was also a stopover for residents of the Snowy Federation when they traveled south or south to enter the Snowy Federation, and it was also because of this excellent location that it became the main source of economic resources for the town of Venylus

Winter Fire was the largest tavern in Venylus, and at the height of its prosperity, there were more than twenty taverns in the town, and even in the difficult times when the Crusader garrisons were fighting against the Snowy Federation, Winter Fire could still earn money from the Crusader soldiers, but it had never been more difficult than it was now

The boss was bored lying in the tavern, and this life without business made him determined, and in a few days, he would leave with his wife and children and go to the south to find another way out

There was a knock at the door, and the tavern owner lazily agreed, probably the family next door had come to borrow something, I have no business, so don't bother me

How did the boss close the door in broad daylight, and after opening the wooden door, the tavern owner found that a chubby, smiling face appeared in front of him

Oh, the guest, the tavern owner just reacted, he quickly opened the door, please come in, please come in

This is the first business in ten days, and it seems that this time the guests are not too few, but fortunately, I can earn more money before my wife and children and I leave, and with this thought, the tavern owner led a few guests to the largest table in the tavern and sat down: what do the guests need, and the warm demeanor with which they usually entertain the guests has returned after ten days of absence

Whip us up some jugs of spirits, well, for keeping out the cold in the far north, Cassius said

A few guests are going to the Snowy Federation, I think it's better to forget it, and the tavern owner kindly raised his surprise

Why Cassius asked

Guests just look at my tavern

A few men and women wandered around the lobby of the tavern for a week

By the way, how come there is no guest in your tavern except us, and Lei asked a little puzzled, in fact, his doubts are also things that everyone wants to ask, and how is this town, as soon as we enter, there is a feeling of desolation

Alas--the tavern keeper let out a long sigh, about twenty days ago, the side of the Snowy Federation suddenly blocked the Valley of Sin and did not allow anyone to enter or leave, and without the guests from the north and south, my business was reduced by half; My great-grandfather has been in business here for more than 300 years, but I didn't expect this tavern to come to an end in my generation...... You're the last of the Winter Fires' guests

Do you know on what day the Snowy Federation sealed off the Valley of Sin, Cassius rewarded the boss with a silver coin, and then asked another question

I remember it as if it was...... On April 16, the boss thought about it for a moment and replied in the affirmative

Okay, it's okay, you're busy

The boss went as promised

When Goray saw the tavern keeper leave, he told his brother that it seemed to be the day after the accident at Ischennova's house

Cassius glanced at the silent Ishnova and said, "Could it be that something drastic has happened in the Snowy Federation?"
