2 & bPv| Ŗ @ {5)' r :Y 9 Q n5_s 5- h ǵ Good student, you're not dead yet!" Bai He dragged out the pocket Shira Dead Toad Guli from under the fat cat's paws, he looked at the toad up and down, this strange thing in the Shila Toad clan seemed to be much larger than when he first came, through the two trembling toad legs, Bai He could sense the slightly stable power in his body, and immediately laughed: " It seems that as a teacher, I am indeed a peerless magic wizard, and your violent terminal illness has been cured without medicine in my hands. ”

"I've never seen such a brazen person as you!" gully retorted, "It's clear that the dead faces of Rylanis have helped me stabilize my energy, and you haven't even shown your face in the past few years, and you're embarrassed to claim to be my teacher?"

"Where would they be without me? Where would you come from without me? You unscrupulous. As soon as Baihe let go, he fell to the ground with a 'snap', the fat cat meowed, and began to scratch the toad's white belly with his paws, and Gully shouted: "Help! Get him away!"

"The Sphinx is just playing with you. White River Hippie smiled: "It doesn't eat anything but fish heads." ”

Gully rolled his eyes and flew away: "It's licking my head!

After some tossing, Bai He kicked the cat who was eating live fish in the dark river and had a fat brain, and then pulled up the frightened toad, sensed the power in the toad's body, and showed an interested smile on the corner of his mouth: "My good apprentice, how is your magic practice?"

"Quack! I, Guli, am the supreme genius of the Shila Toad Clan!, how can I not learn it?" Gulilen paused for a moment, and then said in a slightly flustered manner.

"That's great, we're going to have a fight soon, and I want to see how good my disciples are. Bai He smiled, but did not continue to pursue. He dragged the fat cat and put it on his shoulder, and two fingers carried Gully's neck to the second platform.

"Boss, you can go out at any time. Bai He sat on the sofa, and the fat man approached and whispered.

"Wait. Shirakawa raised his finger and waited for the Sixteen to pack the mana device.

He crossed Erlang's legs, waited for the delicate maid to deliver the meal and tea tray, and took a gentle bite.

Loving honey tea, black tea and fresh tomatoes, Frostwings' eating habits are so strange that they are enough to open the eyes of the dragons of the world.

"Fight?!" Gully, who had been sluggish, seemed to react suddenly, shouting: "Can you stop fighting, we want peace!"

...... Peace?

Bai He snorted and touched the fat cat's head, and a large number of frost dragon knights lined up from the hive, and the core personnel of the security department, together with the three legendary dragon wizards, took out a huge instrument.

Shirakawa stood up and walked out of the ice cave with a large army, the blockade of the portal opened, and the Frost Dragon Knights let out a burst of whistling, and groups of white dragons flew from all directions, letting out a chaotic and manic roar.

......

The north remained calm.

The same is true of Count Fatas's heart, but in this calm, there is also a deep uneasiness.

Just half a day ago, this high-ranking nobleman of the Duchy, who was just fifty years old, received the tenth urging from the Mage Alliance, asking him to quickly find a way to solve the matter of the diamond mine.

This is a bad sign, and it means that the Mage Alliance's patience is running out.

The Northland is barren, relying solely on the resources of the Northland, it is not enough to maintain the independent maintenance expenses of the Northland Mage Alliance, supporting a wizard, even if it is the lowest-level formal wizard, the cost required is equivalent to an army composed of hundreds of full-time soldiers, the Northland Mage Alliance is a wizard organization with two archmages, seven high-level wizards, and middle-level and low-level wizards adding up to a total of more than one hundred and twenty people, although the scale is not large, but the resources consumed are also expensive.

Therefore, this wizarding organization has been in a state of dismal operation in the past, unable to absorb a large amount of new blood, and the excellent talents cultivated are often unbearable to the barrenness of the Northland and choose to go south.

Since the Southern Glacier was emptied, some adventurers discovered several large mines on the shallow surface, and thanks to the close ties between the Wizarding Alliance and the Duchy of Walch, the Wizarding Alliance was able to control these resources, but in a few years, the Northland Mage Alliance has grown tremendously.

But now this development has stopped, not just stopped, but is shrinking rapidly, if the matter in the north cannot be resolved as soon as possible.

Damn, what the hell is going on in the mines of the north?

As the head of the Mage Alliance's external affairs, Master Fattas was a little anxious, but considering that he had found someone from the Windtalker Alliance through recruitment this time, he could barely suppress the negative emotions in his heart.

To be fair, he didn't like this group of self-proclaimed righteous fraternity, but he had to admit that this world-famous righteous faction did have some of the most powerful adventurers in Antas, willing to delve into the barren land that devoured hundreds of lives to find a truth for them.

The Windwhisperer Alliance is out of the way, so you should get some useful information anyway.

Count Fattath clenched the teacup in his hand, feeling a little irritated.

In his frustration, he suddenly remembered the daughter of the miner's guide he had sent this time.

Praise to the great god of luck, Viggin, and whenever Count Fattas recalls the daughter of the miner's guide, he is amazed that a commoner couple who are very ordinary in any way can have such a beautiful daughter.

He licked his lips and began to think about it.

The hateful alliance of windtalkers, if only they didn't come back, it was better that the humble little miner came back alive alone, so that he could ask him to his face - did he turn him from a poor ordinary man who starved to death into a dog-like mine manager, and was not so great a kindness that it was not enough for him to send his beautiful daughter respectfully?

Got the stuff out of the Windtalker Alliance.

Fattas gritted his teeth and cursed them for their retribution - not to delay the completion of the mission, of course.

Whether it is the mage alliance or the nobles of the principality, they are very anxious about this matter.

Wait, there's no need to rush...... They had been gone for less than two days.

The sudden awakening made Count Fatas realize that he seemed to be a little impatient, and he closed his eyes and began to take deep breaths.

"Master, master!" was Count Fattath while he was cultivating himself, when his servant suddenly ran in with a loud shout.

Master Fatas's anger suddenly rose, such a servant who didn't understand the rules was really newly bought and undertrained.

"My lord, the Grand Duke of Ruling has summoned you and asked you to go quickly. ”

"What?" Fattas looked at the sky with some strange eyes, "Summoned at this time?"

The days in the Northland were short, and it was almost midnight, and Fattas was so surprised that he lost his anger for a while.

"The ruling Grand Duke said that it was a very urgent matter, very important, all the ministers and nobles were summoned, and you were the most important, and the Grand Duke indicated that you must be present. ”

What's wrong?

Count Fattas chuckled in his heart, and quickly realized that this matter had something to do with the errand he was doing, and he hurriedly changed his clothes and arrived at the mansion of the ruling Grand Duke by night.

Beifeng Harbor is the largest city in the principality, but this is obviously relatively speaking, as a city with a population of just over 30,000 people, no matter how big it is, it can't go anywhere.

The nobles gathered to live in a few minutes' walk from the residence of the Count of Fatas to the residence of the ruling Grand Duke, which is said to be the residence of the ruling Grand Duke, but in fact for the Duchy of Walch, this mansion is the equivalent of the royal palace of the landlocked country.

There is no recognized king in the Northlands, and in the long history, there has been only one strong man who has been crowned king by all the ruling duchies, and that is Oreos I, who led the Northlands to defeat the Frost Giants.

Many of the Northlanders' rulers of this era still retain some barbarian demeanor, and the ruling Grand Duke Jade IV is dressed in a thin fur coat, revealing the right half of his muscular body, and his long gray hair hangs down from the crown, and his temperament is as majestic as that of an old lion.

Standing in the historical background of the early feudal society and the backward productive forces, this ruler, who was known for his bravery and good fighting, was obviously not incompetent, but he did not lack the usual rigidity of feudal rulers and the simple minds of northerners.

His expression was very serious at the moment, and the wine glass in his hand was poured into his stomach one by one, and those who were familiar with him were silent, knowing that the mood of the ruling Grand Duke was not good at this time.

Count Fattas walked in and quietly sat down in his place. With the size of his domain and political position, his chair was very close to that of Jade IV, and as soon as he sat down, a parchment note crept from behind.

He frowned just by looking at it.

A number of outposts in the north have been attacked, and all of them have been lost?

Count Fattas suddenly felt like he was on pins and needles, and when he entered, he could feel that Jade IV was looking at him, and this glance made him feel that this matter might have something to do with him.

But what the hell is this, the outposts were attacked and all lost, and what does this have to do with him?

Jade IV coughed, put down the wine glass in his hand, and spit out a mouthful of wine, attracting the attention of all the noble ministers, and slowly spoke: "Everyone...... Have you seen them all?"

"Grand Duke, this is a provocation, spies must be sent to reconnoitre, to find out their identities, and at the same time to gather the army, ready to drive away these daring villains at all times. "A powerful northern nobleman.

"Investigate their identities? They didn't try to hide it from us. Jade IV snorted, and suddenly took out a shining diamond and threw it to Count Fatas, who was not far from him.

As soon as he saw this diamond, Master Fatas's heart thumped again, and a bad premonition struck him again, and he looked at this small and well-polished diamond and a few lines of text on the polished surface, and his expression became even more stiff.

"Lord Fatas, you know the dragon language, you might as well read it. Jed IV waved his hand.

“...... Aware that your kingdom has repeatedly invaded the territory of my rule, harassed my people, smuggled minerals, and killed indiscriminately, and was very rude;

Ziwu shatters the polar night and slays the frost giant king Zaneke. A corner of the Nanda Glacier, that is, my inviolable realm, you are a humble and foolish mortal, who sees that the dragon is not there, is so bold and arrogant that his actions are ......"

Fatas was half-literate, translating the grammatically similar dragon language in ancient languages, but there was a strange power, and only halfway through the reading, Fattas's forehead was covered with sweat - as a half-hung wizard, he could feel the magic contained in this special letter, as if a huge mountain was pressing on him, and with his translation pressed on all the nobles who participated in the banquet.

He saw sweat on his forehead, and when he was halfway through reading, he lost his strength a little, and he couldn't even look at it.

Jade IV shook his head, turned his head and gestured at a wizard, whose expression was equally reluctant, he nodded, and recited the incantation, and as he chanted, a faint light spread through the hall, and everyone gasped, Count Fattas coughed, endured the unabated oppression, and continued to read:

“...... I am also in cahoots with the Windtalker Alliance, and I am so angry that I will personally lead my servants and ask your country to visit the port of the North Wind, and if your country compensates me with a gift of 100,000 gold and silver, I will be spared from the frost and seal the city. Otherwise, if you measure the small country of Ru Puer, you will be miserable for several years, and once it will be destroyed by my hands, will he have no regrets in the future?"

His eyes widened, and he saw the signature of the letter in a moment of suffocation, took a breath of encouragement, and shouted hysterically: "-Frost Wings!"

The diamonds fell to the ground with a clanging sound, and the nobles in the hall held their breath, and the engraved diamonds dancing on the ground seemed to have some kind of magic power, making them unable to take their eyes off.

“...... Frost Wings. Count Fattas froze for a few seconds, crouched down, and repeated in a somewhat distracted whisper.
