Chapter 0287: The Great Enemy

The icy wind blew through the temple gates, whirring.

Powell Jr. stood at the door of the hall in gray armor, covered with ice. He didn't feel cold in the low temperature, let alone feel weird, but felt very comfortable in the cold.

In the center of the temple stands a statue of Aulul, the goddess of winter. It was a fierce girl with long crystal hair made of ice and snow. Wielding a razor-sharp ice battle axe, she leaps into the ground.

Around the goddess of winter, everything froze. Although it only has weak divine powers, it is the patron saint of the Northland and the object of worship of the Fils family. It's just that Oluel's temper is not very good......

"The Goddess is cold, and we must be in great awe of it. In the cold wind, love, sentiment, and glory are extremely ridiculous. Only those who are close to the cold can receive gifts in the chuckle of the goddess. ”

In front of the statue stood a rickety old man, his original tall physique had become old, and at this moment he was like a broken candle in the cold wind, which could fall down at any time. But his voice was extremely cold, and it spread in all directions with the wind.

Powell Jr. listened to the old man's teachings and bowed down with great humility. There were many people in front of him, all holding the ice in their hands, praying silently. The more the ice froze, the more painful it was to their bones, and the more they couldn't let go.

Among those who hold the ice is Louis, the actual controller of the Banshee Castle. Fils. It was he who led the city lord's guard to the temple and offered his ultimate devotion to the goddess of winter, who ruled the Northlands.

In front of the idol is Old Fils, a strong man who has ruled the Northland for more than ten years and is approaching the end of his life. Powell Jr. stood at the back of the crowd and looked up cautiously. The old man's sharp gaze quickly locked onto him, casting a cold light.

Powell Jr. hurriedly bowed his head, and also held a piece of cold ice and prayed to the goddess, intending to get the favor of the gods. He had now turned away from the faith of Tyr, the god of justice, and threw himself into the arms of Winter.

The moment he converted, Powell Jr. felt more relaxed than ever. Aulull's teachings are cold and deadly, devoid of any silent warmth, unbound by any morality, and only about the ultimate good. This is perfect for the refined egoist.

As the cold wind surrounded him, Powell Jr. felt that he felt real strength. It was this strength that allowed him to regain his self-confidence and be willing to die for the Fils family.

The ice in your hand is bigger than your palm, and you have to rely on your body temperature to turn it into snow. Soon some of the city lord's guards couldn't hold on, and the biting cold made people shiver. Old Fils, who stood under the statue, would wave his hand and expel the man from the temple.

Powell Jr. gritted his teeth and held on to the idea of freezing his arm. But the heart of the goddess of cold winter has never been sympathetic, and those who can't pass the test and don't give up will really lose their limbs and even their lives from the cold.

After holding on for a long time, the ice in Powell Jr.'s hand showed no signs of melting, and it was still cold and hard. However, his palms turned black and purple from the low temperature, like a frozen corpse. This situation made him feel bad.

Holding the ice is a test, and if you don't pass it, you won't be promoted. Once this opportunity is lost......

A palm was clapped on Powell Jr.'s shoulder. Warmth flowed into his body, and Powell Jr.'s palm holding the ice regained consciousness, and he instantly felt a sharp stinging pain in his skin and flesh. He looked back, it was Master Banker of the Wizarding Order.

The strongest wizard in the Northlands, the guardian of the Banshee Castle, a true wise man, the gray-haired Master Banker has a string of lofty titles. He is proficient in the arcane art of prophecy, and is known to have 'eyes that see through the essence of things'.

Powell Jr. didn't understand why he was favored by the leader of the wizarding group, let alone why the other party favored him, and persuaded him to convert to Oluel. But now it seems that Banker is very good to him.

The warm current that Bank gave Powell Jr. was a great help, and his hands began to heat up, and the ice quickly melted into water. When the whole test was passed, he felt the eyes of the idol turn to him, and his blood instantly turned cold.

The power of winter runs through the whole body.

The Frozen Knight, a class unique to the Church of Aulull, a cold-blooded slayer, a spreader of cold and cold winds, a 'Frost Embrace'.

Today's test is to select the elite from the city lord's guard and form the 'Banshee' Knights. More than 200 people took part in the test, and less than 50 were able to pass the test.

Those who can join the 'Banshee' Knights will be funded by the Fils family, will have bigger and better territories, more slaves and servants, and all weapons and equipment will be distributed uniformly, and there will be no need for personal self-bringing.

On top of that, each member of the Order will receive the same status as a member of the Wizarding Order. This is a huge status improvement for Takefu, who has always been ridiculed as 'only having muscles and no brains'.

After receiving the promotion, Powell Jr. wanted to thank Master Bank. He knew very well that without the help of the other party, he would never have been able to join the Order. But when he looked around, he saw that Bank was long gone, and that old Fils was nowhere to be found.

"Powell." A call came from behind the side. Louis. Fils approached slowly with a cold, haughty face. He is not yet the lord of the Banshee Castle, but he has already acted as the city lord and is the head of the newly formed Knights.

Powell Jr. was flattered to be shouted at by the big man. He hurriedly stood sideways, bowed his head and answered, "Your Excellency, what do you command?" ”

Louis. Fils looked at it a few times, still with a straight face, and said coldly: "I have heard the report on your family's affairs. ”

Powell Jr.'s head was lower and his heart was uneasy. He didn't tell the truth about the family tragedy. This is easy to see through by the 'Detect Lies' technique. This is also the reason why he does not understand why he is still treated well by Master Bank.

Prophecy wizards are the best at identifying authenticity from falsehood.

In fact, these high-ranking people don't need to deal with a down-and-out knight's son at all. Powell Jr. is likely to become a wandering adventurer, wandering around the Northland in search of opportunities and living a life of wandering loneliness.

But Master Bank gave Powell Jr. a chance, recommended him to inherit the knighthood of the Powell family, and helped him join the 'Banshee' Knights. Louie, who now controls the city. Fils also took the initiative to find him, which made him even more surprised and delighted.

Powell Jr. also wanted to squeeze out a few tears to show his sadness, but Louis. Fils waved his hand and shouted, "For your family's affairs, let's end here." Talk to me about that Victor. Hugo, I heard that you know him well. ”

Victor. Hugo? Powell Jr. really didn't know how to talk about it. He was indeed more familiar with the Rising Man of the Black Forest than the average person. But if you want to say that you are very familiar, you really can't talk about it. Just Louie. Fils asked, and he had to answer.

The two walked out of the temple with their entourage, one after the other. Powell Jr. followed along, starting with his own joining the crusade and going to Harmony Village, until he was defeated and returned to the main village of the family. It's just that when it comes to Zhou Qingfeng, he suddenly knocked on the door......

"Victor. Why did Hugo go to your family's troubles? "Louis. Fils asked suddenly.

Powell Jr. was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer, do you want to talk about his 'father' is actually a descendant of demons?

Louis. Fils didn't wait for an answer, and asked, "I sent someone to your family territory to find some surviving villagers. According to their descriptions, they are not the same as what you say. ”

Powell Jr. was even more frightened, and hated himself for Mao not waiting for Zhou Qingfeng to leave the village after killing him and slaughtering all the damned villagers. At this point, he was completely speechless, as if he had a stool blocked in his mouth.

Louis. Fils still didn't wait for any explanation from Powell Jr., and continued to say coldly: "I recently received some clues, the demon Victor in your mouth. Hugo is in our Banshee Castle. ”

Powell Jr. became drenched in a cold sweat, as if a catastrophe was coming.

Louis. Fils, however, was pleased with his appearance, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You just need to know that I know you well." But as long as you're loyal enough to me, I don't care about your past. ”

"Yes, yes, I'm absolutely loyal." Powell Jr. pressed down on his shoulders, and was sincerely afraid as if he was carrying a thousand pounds of boulder, "I will definitely die for Your Excellency." ”

"Good." Louis. The corners of Phils' mouth turned up, and he patted Powell Jr. on the shoulder again, "I need you to deal with Victor. Hugo. ”
