In the northern provinces, near the ice fields, the weather in harvest month has turned cooler, but today it is a rare high and crisp day.

With a click, a troop of horsemen galloped across the moor, the sun shining on their black armor, staining the Scarlet Bear's emblem a golden hue.

They seemed to be searching for something, but they turned a blind eye to the team of mercenaries not far away, as if they were transparent.

"I remember that the group invisibility technique is a seven-ring spell?" There was a gentleman in this team of mercenaries who was the least like a mercenary, he was wearing a bright red dress, leaning lazily next to the horse, and holding a glass of red wine in his hand, for fear that others would not know that he was a noble and elegant "nobleman".

Faced with Viscount Calendia's question, Katrina replied reservedly and with a little pride: "The study of light has been throughout the history of the Council, so we have a very deep understanding of invisibility, and there is no significant difference in nature between single-player invisibility and multi-player invisibility. ”

"Although this is only a part of the principle of invisibility, it is not difficult to create a five-ring magic with the effect of partial group invisibility, in fact, Mr. Viscount, you have never seen it just because this magic can only hide from ordinary knights. ”

"Sometimes, I envy the Arcanists, you always seem to have a strong desire to explore, maintain a strong momentum to move forward, so that you don't feel bored in life, unlike those of us who spend most of our time in the gloomy castle moldy, often find life monotonous, feel that nothing is interesting, and there is no difference between living and dying. Viscount Calendia took a sip of red wine and pretended to be the melancholy temperament of a literary youth.

Katrina pursed her lips and smiled, "Mr. Viscount." Aren't vampires necromancers? What did you think about yourself being alive?"

"Yes too......" Viscount Calendia suddenly felt speechless in the face of this kind of lady who had grown up under the influence of the "Voice of Mysteries" and Lucian.

Anna next to her looked at the two with a smile, and was pleased to find that the powerful and mysterious magician Sister Katrina and the handsome and powerful vampire Viscount Karen Rdia still had a normal human side, not as arrogant and gloomy as she feared, looking down on all the creatures with weak strength.

When the cavalry was far away, Katrina turned to look at Anna, Yakov and the others: "Have you thought about where to go?"

Since Viscount André is the only descendant of the Count of Calkath, even if he is the real culprit behind the "Demon Worship Incident" and deserves to be executed, mercenaries such as Yakov and Anna are also worried about covert revenge - how can the Church always protect someone of their status?

Therefore, they are after the end of the event. Seize the time difference to find the family. Pretending to have died at the scene of the "Killing Feast", he left the city of Calcartel with Katrina and Viscount Calendia.

"Sister Katrina, you have left the mark of an investigator of the Magical Council in the manor, and I believe that Count Calkat will not pay too much attention to our situation. As long as you don't stay in the Northern Province. It's the same everywhere you go. So I will choose a place that is relatively proficient. Having escaped the death crisis, Anna was less wary of this level of danger and more optimistic and open-minded. "What about you, you're going back to the Magic Council?"

Having grown up in the Shahran Empire, they were far from being exposed to the true state of the world, and with the exception of Yakov, who had worked briefly with a formal magician, the rest of the mercenaries had never heard of terms such as the Magical Council and Alinge until Katrina introduced herself, and only knew about the kingdom of Dawholm, which was famous for its fabrics, unique jewelry, ores and other specialties, and the mercenary team often had to protect the merchants who smuggled these goods.

Although Katrina has become a high-ranking magician, when they heard Anna's question, Yakov and the others couldn't help but turn their eyes to her, looking forward to being able to walk together for a while longer.

"I have other tasks on my body, and I won't be returning to Alinge anytime soon, in fact, you can go to the Kingdom of Holm, where it is relatively free and there is no shortage of opportunities to exercise. You go north to the ice field, and then all the way east, past a few poorly defended fortresses, and then you reach the Eastern Exile, where it is easier and easier to get to the kingdom of Holm, especially Yakov, you are a knight. Katrina suggested sincerely.

Anna's eyes lit up, and her expression became excited, but soon her expression turned gloomy: "Sister Katrina, I have actually thought about this question in the past two days, but, but I have lived in this land since I was a child, and I like it from the bottom of my heart, whether it is food, architecture, poetry, stories, or all kinds of customs and habits of getting along with people, they are deeply imprinted in my heart, and I don't want to leave here until the most desperate time, maybe we will go to the east of a few provinces, where there are also many resources and opportunities." ”

"Anna and I have similar thoughts, rest assured, I am a knight, no nobleman will refuse the allegiance of a knight, and this is not one of those countries in the south that has not experienced war in two or three hundred years. Yakov was silent for a moment, and then replied firmly, maybe one day he would go to Alinge, but he hoped that by then he already had the strength of a fifth-level knight and could face Katrina on an equal footing.

Katrina didn't say anything, but reminded Anna and Yakov by means of teleportation: "It's best to part with Huck and other betrayed mercenaries halfway, so that they don't know your true destination, lest they betray you again in exchange for the reward from Count Carkart." ”

Although she didn't have the viciousness to kill, there was still the caution that an arcana should have.

“...... Good. Yakov and Anna were a little unreceptive to this proposal, but after thinking about what happened in the cell and the altar, they finally nodded ruthlessly—they were used to death and killing after many years of mercenary life, and they would not be so simple as emotions.

With the help of magic, the team soon arrived at the ice field in the north, and Anna reluctantly took Katrina's hand, and a faint sparkle appeared in her eyes: "Sister Katrina, if I have the opportunity in the future, I will go to the Kingdom of Holm to see you." ”

"I'm always welcome, and if I can, maybe I'll go back to the empire, when the time comes. I will let you return home without worry. Katrina's voice also softened, and in the Shahran Empire, which had no electromagnetic teleportation, telegraph, landline, postal service, and messengers, Yakov and Anna had not yet found a suitable city, a farewell today might be a farewell.

Thinking of this, Katrina had a deeper recognition of the meaning of the teacher's popularization of alchemical items.

As she was leaving, Anna suddenly remembered something and asked in a low voice, "Sister Katrina, is the starry sky you summoned a legendary power? your teacher, father, or ......?"

"It's my teacher, the half-dimensional 'Atomic Universe' of Your Excellency', who is a Grand Arcanist. Legendary Magician. Katrina graciously admitted. It's not that the teacher can't show people, on the contrary, she is very proud and proud of the students who can become teachers.

"Legendary magician, sure enough, has it reached the level of a seraph?" Anna looked shocked and curious. She didn't know what the Grand Arcanist was. She didn't know who the "atomic mastery" was. But no one dares to take the legendary magician lightly, and the former ruler of the northern province is a female legendary magician "Ice Queen" Fettia, so there are all kinds of magical stories left behind here. Exaggerations can lead people to think that legendary magicians are only a little worse than true gods.

Katrina's magic is ice and snow, in addition to the influence of her teacher, she also grew up listening to the horror stories of this magician, and this "Ice Queen" disappeared from the Northern Province shortly after the fall of the Magic Empire, and no one knows if she is still alive or not, whether she is hiding in the depths of the dark mountains.

"Seraph......" Katrina smiled and did not answer directly, anyway, in her heart, the teacher's strength must be stronger than that of ordinary Seraphs, only a little worse than the "King of Angels".

When Anna and Yakov, who had satisfied their curiosity, stepped on the ice field, Viscount Karendia laughed and said, "Evans is not famous enough in the Shahran Empire, if they are called 'Observer', 'Silver-Eyed Count', Viscount Rhine-Karendia, etc., I believe they will be even more shocked." ”

This is because Rhine is also on the execution list of the Northern Church, and Lucien, who has grown rapidly and has basically never dealt with the Northern Church, is not "wanted" - the Northern Church knows its own strength, unlike the Southern Church, which puts all the high-ranking members of the hostile forces in the purification sequence, and only selects those who have "sinned" in their jurisdiction.

"The execution list of the Northern Church is not authoritative enough, and it is more ......recognized to be on the purification sequence," Katrina said in the tone of an arcane study, and it was an honor for the mage to be on the purification sequence.

After the two talked and laughed for a few words, Viscount Calendia smiled and said seriously: "I always feel that there are still many mysteries in this demon worship incident, and the truth may not be what we guessed, maybe Viscount Andre is also a chess piece......

He was suspicious of this on the basis of some coincidences in the incident, without any evidence and without direction.

"Well, so the mission report I submitted through the artificial planet only listed the events in detail, and did not give my own judgment, let the gentlemen of the committee make their own conclusions, maybe they have information that we don't know. Katrina bowed her head in agreement.

In the case of an artificial planet, she submitted a mission report that night, and sometimes, she really felt that the world was very small, and Alinge was obviously so far away, but she didn't have the slightest problem communicating with herself, until she said goodbye to Anna and the others just now, she suddenly found that the world world was still very big, so big that if she was not careful, she would never see another person.

"I've found traces of my father nearby, so I'm going to hunt him down, so I won't be involved in your next mission. Viscount Calendia smiled, but he didn't smile at all.

Father?Hunt and kill?Mr. Rhein, do you care????

............

Alinge, Institute of Atomic Studies.

As soon as Lucien, who had completed the upgrade of the monthly timepiece, stepped into the laboratory when he saw Heidi coming over with a journal, he said with great interest: "Teacher, this paper in "Elements" has constructed a possible model for your negative energy states and antiparticle conjectures. ”

"Probably?" Lucien asked with a smile as he guessed what it was based on the results of his current research.

"Well, the vacuum of negative energy, maybe the root of our magic lies here? the vacuum is not necessarily empty. Heidi was very interested in this, and Annick and Sprint also gathered around, and there was also a certain degree of interest in the article.

Lucien said meaningfully, "Yes, the vacuum is not empty. (To be continued......)
