The North Austrian Federation of Hedrenza is a federal state of three kingdoms, which is very similar to the Red Eagle Federation.

To the north of the western continent, with its rolling mountains and year-round snowfall, there is no such warm climate as in Sicilys.

Cold winds and snow dominated much of the North, and the Hedrenza, North Wickers, and Oberly established their own kingdoms.

And, fifty years ago, the North Austrian Federation of Hedrensa was formed.

Unlike the Oga Empire, there was no such strict centralized system, and the three kingdoms were self-contained, and the religious aspects were handled by Bishop Hyde.

However, the people of these three kingdoms did not have the slightest fear of the so-called gods of the church.

The people who laid their foundation in the snow and ice believed in absolute power, and in their eyes, the so-called southern gods were nothing more than a group of charlatans.

Due to the strength of the Church, the leaders of the Federation had to recognize the legitimacy of the Church, but they also maintained an ambiguous relationship with the Resistance.

For example, in the cold mountains of the northern coast of the Federation, there is an elite unit of the Western Continental Resistance Army.

They built impregnable fortifications in the cold mountains and organized a large army of engineers to mine the mineral deposits beneath the cold mountains.

The Rebels' powerful soul masters had designed an intricate fortress that would give them a warm shelter in the frigid mountains.

Visiting Hydrensa merchants called the fortress "Winter Castle".

Meaning, a fortress in the middle of winter.

Despite its name, the Wintercastle is unusually warm.

"Hot bonito soup and hash browns, it looks like the guys in the kitchen have got a lot of good stuff!"

A burly man sat at the dining table grinning, wearing a very cool straddle vest, and his mountain-like muscles were about to come out.

When he was served, the whole restaurant stood up solemnly and saluted him.

"Sit down and eat, boys, you don't have the strength to work when you're hungry!"

The big man waved his hand, and then everyone slowly sat down and ate by themselves, he picked up a piece of potato cake, dipped it in the fish soup and put it in his mouth, this taste, it was really delicious!

"Baroque craftsmanship is really getting better and better, and thanks to him, we are able to eat such delicious things!"

Dahan said with a smile, directly dried the fish soup in one bite, picked up the potato cake and scraped the remaining soup in the bowl neatly.

Two potato cakes, a bowl of fish soup, his amount of rice really can't be considered very large.

"Mr. Pfister, you should eat more. ”

The waiter in charge of distributing the meal greeted him, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw that the big man had only eaten so much.

"Young man, I want to eat more, too. ”

As he spoke, the big man lifted his vest, and there was a terrifying and terrifying scar on his abdomen.

"If I hadn't been burned half of my stomach by that damn Bishop Hyde with soul magic, I would have eaten ten of these hash browns alone!"

"It's a pity!

After saying that, the big man patted the young squire on the shoulder and walked outside from the restaurant.

Wintercastle's dining room is located on the basement level, where the temperature is so high that you can feel warm even without a stove, because the basement level 2 is the forge room.

The engineers, under the command of Mr. Pfister, are responsible for turning the mined ore into sophisticated weapons.

This Mr. Pfister is the master of weapons in Winterhold.

"Please stay with Mr. Pfister, Mr. Wright, please. ”

As the Great Han walked out of the dining room, he was stopped by a herald, who was the personal guard of Wintercastle's number one, Wright Owen.

Wright is a respectable leader! This Wintercastle was built by his abbot, and he's a powerful soul master!

Unlike those cultivators in the Eastern Continent, the soul masters in the Western Continent do not have a so-called difference in cultivation direction.

They all use soul power through soul techniques or swords, and in this desolate land, there is no such gorgeous and colorful cultivation civilization as the Eastern Heavenly Dao.

The cultivation of Westerners is purely a collection of swords and soul arts.

"Could it be that he has come up with a new idea?"

"This guy is not very old, but he has a lot of ghost ideas, so let Uncle Pfister see what you little guy has figured out again!"

The herald handed Pfister a sword plush coat, and Pfister grinned and put it on, and I have to say that on the basement level, it was as warm as spring.

If you go up one level, it's like autumn, and if you go up, it's winter!

Wintercastle has seven floors from the first floor upwards, and Wright's command post is on the highest level.

There, he had to use special heating equipment and use some heating formations developed by Orientals.

I have to say that those Orientals are too delicate in their research on formations.

It is no wonder that the gods of the Church do not dare to easily provoke a war with the East, which is definitely a powerful and terrifying country.

"Long time no see, dear Wright!"

When Pfister walked up to the seventh floor of Winterhold, he opened the door and opened his big hand to give Wright a warm hug, but in the command room on the seventh floor of Winterhold, Wright was not alone at this time.

There were also three old acquaintances of his.

Rob Diat in charge of the army, Mahler King in charge of the sapper team, and Elena in charge of the soul master team.

These three men were the high-ranking generals of Winterhold, and they, like Pfister, were very important figures in Winterhold.

"Pfister, you're so welcoming. ”

Rob has very bright eyes, and his short black hair and neat mustache make him look like a gentleman.

In fact, he was a war maniac at all! He organized several counter-encirclement and suppression campaigns by the rebels against the church army.

The effect was surprisingly good, causing those damn sectarian armies to directly lose nearly 30,000 devout disciples.

"I've always been hot and unrestrained!"

Pfister walked up to Yelena and leaned down and kissed the back of her hand like a bear manicure for a beautiful peacock.

As the soul master second only to Wright in the Resistance, Elena represents all the soul master organizations and academic organizations that support the Resistance.

In the Western Continent, only the study of divine arts can be allowed, and those damn divine sticks regard the school of divine arts as the orthodox school of soul masters, which is completely an act of forgetting their ancestors!

"We have deeply experienced your 'enthusiasm', so on this occasion, you need to be a little more restrained. ”

Mahler, from the sapper ranks, said that this was a sloppy stinky boy.

His mouth was as unpleasant as his countenance, and if Rob was a gentleman, Mahler was a street gangster.

"You four, please take a seat, my guests should be here in a moment. ”

Wright said that although the temperature on the seventh floor was not as high as underground, it could be considered warm, and Pfister took off his coat, revealing his strong muscles.

Elena couldn't help but cast an admiring glance at his big figure, and women were easily attracted by this very masculine figure.

On the other hand, Mahler and Rob, although they are also in good shape, they are slightly thin compared to Pfister.

"Knock knock. ”

There was a knock on the door, and Wright got up and said yes.

The door was slowly opened, and in the doorway was a muscular beard lover.

When they saw this beard lover, except for Wright, the four of them couldn't help but be a little wary.

Everyone knows that the bearded lovers are the most loyal hairy bears in the sect, and not only do they have a large organization, but each of them is a difficult existence to provoke.

It's not a good sign that a beard lover has appeared in the rebels' Winter Castle.

"I'm sorry, guys, but maybe I'm a little uncomfortable with my outfit. ”

The beard lover took off his hat, and then plucked the thick string of hair, revealing an oriental face.

"Dear Yang Xiao, I didn't recognize you in your dress!"

After seeing his face, Pfister hurried up to him and gave him a warm hug.

"After all, when I'm out walking, I still need an identity that is a little safer. ”

"Everybody misses you so much. ”

Yelena said, and Yang Xiao looked at her with a smile.

This man has a very dangerous charm, and his smile and eyes are full of unpredictable thoughts.

"I miss the rebels too. ”

"Greetings to Rob Diat. ”

Rob took off his hat and bowed slightly to Yang Xiao, Yang Xiao returned the salute, and Mahler just waved his hand and did not talk to him too much.

"Well, Mr. Yang Xiao is here this time to bring you some news. ”

Wright said, and then, he brought out a chair for Yang Xiao and motioned for him to sit down, and the waiter pushed open the door and brought warm tea.

"I don't know if this tea is to your taste. ”

"If it's cold, there won't be so many generals, so it's good to drink hot water. ”

After Yang Xiao finished speaking, he slowly sipped the tea into his mouth, and the warmth flowed from his mouth to his stomach.

"Without further ado, I'll tell you a few pieces of news. ”

After drinking the tea, Yang Xiao went straight to the point.

"The Church is ready to take action against the Cloud Empire. ”

After saying this, everyone looked at Yang Xiao in surprise.

This news is a little unbelievable, but the news that Yang Xiao said is generally evidenced.

"Through the circle of beard lovers, I learned about the recent movements of the church. ”

"They have united the North Sea Branch of the Kraken Society, the Red Eagle Federation, and the Mabo Federation to prepare for a move against the Cloud Empire. ”

"Although the Mabo Federation did not give a clear response, they will inevitably intervene in anything that can be profitable. ”

With that, he placed the tea in his hand on the table in front of Wright.

"In addition, the sect is about to send a part of its troops to support the Black Bloods and pull down the nobles of the Misty Moon Empire. ”

"And we have other plans. ”

After Yang Xiao finished speaking, he took out a cigar from the inner pocket of his clothes, lit it with true qi, and took a deep breath.

"I'm ready to assassinate the Pope. ”

After Yang Xiao finished saying this, everyone was silent.

Wright thought for a moment and asked:

"How sure are you?"

"Ten percent. ”

"Isn't it too much?"

Yang Xiao's confident statement made Wright somewhat skeptical.

"The current church is in debt, and the internal stability is not very stable, and the policy of atonement charms has made those businessmen miserable. ”

"The army they are going to send to the Misty Moon Empire is not an elite force, after all, those steam behemoths are indeed too strong, and the sect does not want to send people to death. ”

"And sending troops to the East can be said to be the most wrong decision they have made. ”

He shook his head, wondering if the Pope was old and always wanted to do something.

Whether it's the war with the Southern Continent or other decisions, it's always a bit of a stubborn feeling.

Such a moody decision made Yang Xiao feel very inexplicable.

"What can we do for you?"

Yelena asked, Yang Xiao looked at her beautiful eyes and said in his magnetic voice:

"After the death of the Pope, Elena, you need to go deep into the academic and soul research circles of various countries in the Western Continent. ”

"Mobilize these scholars for a revival of soul arts. ”

"To subvert the legitimacy of the Church's theology, to make them gradually lose their authority. ”

Yelena nodded, it wasn't that hard.

The academic circles of the Western continent have long been resentful of the arrogance of the church, but they have not found a suitable opportunity to vent it.

"Wright, after the Pope's death, it's a good time for you. ”

"Kill Bishop Hyde if possible. ”

After Yang Xiao finished speaking, Wright took a deep breath.

If the Pope were dead, it would not be impossible to kill Bishop Hyde.

In this way, the Church lost two important people in succession, the Pope died, and then a bishop also died.

Sure to cause an uproar.

"If I'm not mistaken, when the old Pope dies, they will definitely put the Son of God on the throne. ”

"The Son of God, after all, is only the Son of God, and his control over the sect is not so comprehensive, and at that time, your opportunity will come. ”

"And I will also know the secrets that the church has hidden over the years. ”

After Yang Xiao finished speaking, he looked at the howling snowstorm outside the window, he had been dormant in the Western Continent for so many years, just to find the secret hidden by the church.

First, it is to solve the mysteries inside the cloud empire.

The second is to unlock the secrets of the papal throne.

Although it is only speculation, Yang Xiao believes that there is a clue connection between the Western Church and the Cloud Empire's Robbery God Sect.

This connection is not only limited to collusion, but maybe, they are deeper in the depths.

Whether or not this connection can be found depends on his actions.

The snow in Hydelensa, as if it never stopped, in the midst of the ice and snow, the black sky gradually spread to the south like the myth of Ragnarok.

......

Yang Ming woke up, and the sun was hitting his head.

Wen Qingdai was putting on makeup on the side, and he stretched and sat up.

"Are you awake?"

Wen Qingdai asked in the mirror, and after humming softly, he walked straight to the door.

However, in a daze, he directly slammed his head into the door frame, and after a bang, Yang Ming suddenly sobered up a lot.

"It's all right......"

Wen Qingdai hurriedly came over, Yang Ming waved his hand at him, signaling that he was fine, and then walked towards the toilet at the end of the corridor in a crooked manner.

After living with Yang Ming for so long, Wen Qingdai felt more and more that the relationship between the two had become more and more delicate.

She seems to have begun to get used to living with Yang Ming.

They don't bother each other, and they can get along very gently.

He is indeed a decent gentleman, and for such a long time, he has not stepped on that red line at all.

This made Wen Qingdai feel very trusted.

Her master said that men, once they have a chance, will definitely take a mobile hand and foot, but after so many days, Yang Ming can be said to be full of opportunities.

However, he was like a saint, which made Wen Qingdai wonder if she was not charming enough.

After gradually getting to know him, he found out that this person is really upright and simple, and he doesn't have so many fancy intestines in his head.

This can't help but make Wen Qingdai look at him with admiration, and even have an urge to consciously get close to him.

Possible...... Is this a rule-abiding charm?

She said no.

"Yo, wake up so early?"

When Yang Ming walked out of the toilet, he happened to see Chen Yueru, who was dressed in fancy clothes, coming out of Xiao He's room, these two people were definitely a fierce night last night!

Just by looking at the mental outlook of this eldest sister Chen, you can know that she must have squeezed Brother Xiao dry again.

"I'm not like Brother Xiao, I am accompanied by a woman, so I naturally get up early. ”

"Silly boy, didn't you sleep in the same room as Wen Qingdai?"

"So what? I can't touch her. ”

When Yang Ming said this, Chen Yueru burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at...... That's what it was!"

"I said you're stupid. ”

"Where am I stupid?"

Yang Ming couldn't help but have some questions, Chen Yueru put her arm on Yang Ming's shoulder, and looked at him with a pair of beautiful eyes.

"Come, smell it, is my sister fragrant?"

"Fragrant ......"

"Speak well!"

Chen Yueru put her arm down and twisted Yang Ming's face vigorously, and Yang Ming grinned in pain.

"No, what do you want to do...... Sister Chen, is it appropriate to show affection to me like this in the morning?"

"You're a piece of wood!"

Chen Yueru shook her head helplessly.

"Let me ask you, do you smell the fragrance of Wen Qingdai?"

"Of course it's incense!"

"Then do you smell Yiyue's fragrance?"

"Nature is also very fragrant. ”

"Then why don't you smell me?"

"Because I ......"

Yang Ming was stunned, looked at Sister Chen's evil smile, and suddenly realized.

"You're trying to tell me what spices they used?"

"I think you were stupid in your last life!"

Chen Yueru slapped Yang Ming's brain directly, ignored him anymore, and turned her head back to the house.

"Sister Chen, what the hell do you want to say!"

"You like Wen Qingdai, don't you know yourself!"

Chen Yueru's voice can be heard very clearly even through the door.

Yang Ming was stunned at the door, savoring what Chen Yueru had just said.

Does he like Wen Qingdai?

Isn't this nonsense, who doesn't like Wen Qingdai!

Yang Ming felt inexplicably walking away, and muttered: Neuropathy.
