Chapter 6 Theft of the Baths

Although the Boundary Mountains block out most of the biting cold from the Far North, the most northerly country of the Holy Light Cult of the West Lotus Kingdom, it is still common for temperatures to reach more than minus forty degrees Celsius in winter, and even in early March and spring, the temperature is still below freezing, which brings huge profits to an alternative industry in the country

Xiluo Fei Kingdom is a famous hot spring paradise, there are more than 90 hot spring baths of different sizes all over the country, attracting thousands of people from all over the world to enjoy the hot spring bath every year, the hot spring baths of the West Luo Fei Kingdom are divided into five levels: state guests, honorable, luxurious, comfortable, and public, but this classification is not strictly limited by nobles and commoners, except for the state guest level, which is specially used to entertain visiting envoys from other countries, the other four levels, as long as they can afford the money, anyone can choose their favorite bathhouse to soak in the hot springs

A wealthy commoner can enjoy the same treatment as the nobles in the noble baths, on the contrary, if a dilapidated nobleman in the middle of the family can not afford to pay, he can only mingle with the ordinary people in the comfortable and even popular baths

Cassius lay comfortably in the single bath of one of the most exclusive thermal baths in Smoidon, the capital of the West Lotfei Kingdom, and let the warm water flow take away the tiredness of his journey, although the price of a night here was expensive, but it was only a drop in the bucket for the money that Regunor had left him

In addition to receiving a large number of guests from the Holy Light Society, the thermal baths of the West Lothi Kingdom also received a large number of guests from the Northern Snowy Federation, and for those merchants who ran the thermal baths, they did not care about those who were not exiled by the church, as long as they could afford to pay the money, the well-dressed magicians or alchemists in the north, who were usually very wealthy and lacked nothing but food

Feeling the gentle pulse of the water element, listening to the whispering of the water element in his ear, Cassius's mind entered a state of meditation, and taking a hot spring bath is not only a simple way to enjoy life, but also an important way for him to practice, every year Cassius will come here to soak in the hot springs, and Guò is intimate with the water element, zero distance contact and communication, so that his mind enters an ethereal meditation state, and after each meditation, Cassius's ability to control the water element can be further improved

At this moment, an incident suddenly occurred that brought Cassius to his moment of sobering up from his meditative state, as he found that the purple hedron hanging from his neck was constantly flashing

Resonance, Owen Cassius suddenly remembered something, and his fat body suddenly stood up from the pool, and water droplets splashed everywhere

Yes, it resonated, indicating that Owen must be nearby, Cassius quickly dressed, and when he reached for the purse, he found that it was long gone

On March 24, 1686, the two great powers of the Star River ended a four-year military rivalry and were replaced by a large-scale all-out war

The trigger for the eventual outbreak of the Fifth Prune War was that a Sealand fishing boat sailing into the territorial waters near the Kingdom of Medin had been sunk by the Sealand navy the night before, and the Sealand rulers were shouting to avenge the fishermen on board

On the first day of the outbreak of the war, more than a dozen transport ships full of soldiers of the Kingdom of Sealand launched an attack on the Kingdom of Medin on the other side of the strait under the cover of their powerful navy, and the Kingdom of Madin carefully built a maritime defense line for more than two years

Medin's army launched a frantic counterattack, rushing at the front of the May army position was a dozen Caesar heavy cavalry - this is the characteristic force and pride of the kingdom of Medin, a kind of enhanced version of the heavy cavalry, not only the cavalry themselves, but even the horses under their seats are covered with thick full-body armor, on which there are also many sharp blades inlaid to the sides and fronts, and any enemy who dares to approach Caesar's heavy cavalry will be torn to pieces by these blades

But in the battle for the beach, these invincible Caesar heavy cavalry met their nemesis

The sandy soil of the beach is soft, not only is it not suitable for cavalry charges, sometimes the heavy cavalry and their horses will sink into the sand, and even if they are covered with armor, but in order to be able to clearly see the front vision, the position of the eyes of the horse and the human is not covered by armor, although the exposed area is very small, but it is enough for the special troops of the Sealand Kingdom, which are known for their precision and penetration, for the cloud-piercing longbowmen, who are known for their precision and penetration

The sharp arrows galloped by, accurately piercing into the eyes of the Caesar heavy cavalry and the war horses under the seat who were struggling to move on the beach, and the cavalry and war horses let out a painful wail, and one by one the Mei infantry who were on the ground and followed closely behind hurriedly rushed up in an attempt to rescue their Caesar heavy cavalry, but the Western army attacked with a more violent storm of arrows, and the defensive shield soldiers in the Mei army's formation covered their companions with huge shields, and launched an attack on the beachhead where the Western army had not yet gained a firm foothold, and the light infantry in the Western army who were good at close combat immediately rushed to the front

The warriors of the two armies carried out the bloodiest, most brutal, and most primitive killing of each other on a small beach

On a hill far from the battlefield, two people who had shrouded themselves in shadow were talking, both dressed in black magic robes, one holding a magic wand made of dried human bones, and the other holding a skull without a magic wand - which indicated their identities: necromancers

You're doing a good job, Shank finally got them to war, and the more soldiers of these two countries kill, the more corpses we can get, the skull-wielding necromancer said to his companion with a bone staff

In fact, the contradictions between these two countries have been accumulated for a long time, like a pile of firewood stained with oil, as long as there is a little spark, it can burn brightly, but I just threw this little spark away, Shanke replied

In the evening, when the two armies of their two armies are truce, we will go to collect the bones and the souls of the dead wandering on the battlefield, haha, we can collect so much, and the master will be very happy to see it when the time comes, and the necromancer holding the skull said

By the way, Raqir heard that Vladimir was going very badly there, said Shank

Oh, what's the matter, Raqilu didn't believe it, didn't Vladimir say to turn that wandering people into an army of the undead, with his strength, those Gamboki should have no power to fight back

Shank nodded and said: It is true that with the ability of the Gamboki, Vladimir cannot resist at all, but out of nowhere, a female priest of light appeared, and she defeated him

Who is the female Light Priest, Raqilu asked with some interest, although the light magic restrains the dark magic of our necromancers in terms of attributes, there are not many female Light Priests who can completely defeat Vladimir on the three continents of Olopa

I hadn't heard her name before, but it was said to be a ten-year-old girl

What Vladimir was defeated by a ten-year-old girl, this waste Raqilu said in surprise

Yes, even I didn't expect Shank to say it, but I care very much about that girl now, and her ability to defeat Vladimir shows that her great plan for our master may be a great obstacle that must be removed as soon as possible

Well, Raqilu nodded, and for the sake of the master's great plan to be realized as soon as possible, we must remove the obstacles for him as soon as possible

In a very inconspicuous dilapidated house in Smoniton, the capital of the Kingdom of Silofe

Wow, more than a dozen men and women looked at the money and treasures poured out of the cloth bag, and they all exclaimed in amazement

A young woman picked up a gold bar: so much money is already a year's income for our guild

That's right, it's still the eldest sister who knows how to find such a rich patron A man flattered a young girl standing next to him

The girl they called the eldest sister was actually younger than everyone here, only about 16-17 years old, I saw her with short hair, a beautiful appearance, a blue headband tied on her forehead, wearing ordinary shorts and shorts, and a dagger tied around her waist

I saw that the eldest sister enjoyed the envious eyes of her companions very much, she crossed her waist and raised her head proudly, and said: I saw that although the fat man was dressed very ordinary, he ran to the most expensive hot spring baths in Smoniton as soon as he entered the city, and I knew that he was definitely not an ordinary person, and his clothes were covered with snowflakes, and it was probably from the other side of the Boundary Mountains, think about it, those magicians and alchemists in the Snowy Federation are very rich

Haha, big sister, your observation is so strong, and a group of people began to pat on the back again

At this time, a woman pointed to a blue spar pendant hanging from the girl's neck and asked, "Sister, this thing seems to have been shining since you came back."

I don't know what it is, the girl touched the blue spar hanging on her chest, I have worn it for so long since I was a child, and I have never tried it like this

Suddenly, the girl felt a dangerous aura approaching

The running girl hurriedly issued a warning of danger to her companions, and at the same time, she drew two daggers pinned to her waist with both hands, jumped out of her original position, stood aside and assumed a defensive posture

Just as she left her original position, a chill howled in her companion before she could react, and a group of men and women were quickly frozen into a dozen ice sculptures

Who's girl turned her dagger and asked sharply

Unexpectedly, this place turned out to be a den of thieves, and the sound came from outside the door, and the tattered door was frozen and shattered, and standing in the door was a fat young man with a magic wand

It's you...... The girl pointed in surprise to the fat man, the young man, the dead fat man, how could you possibly find here

Cassius closed his eyes and sighed softly: The water elemental left on the money bag told me where you are going.
