Looking at the lord's brown hair, which concealed a little silver, Vicol's heart skipped a wild beat. Trembling at the meaning of the word, he nervously reached out and grabbed the emblem.

"This ...... It's the first time I've seen ......" Looking at the silver-white oval insignia with a snow crow pattern in the center, the sentry couldn't help but be stunned: the snow crow insignia will only be awarded to those who are extremely good. Once in possession of it, it can be said that this sentry has received the highest recognition. According to ancient tradition, each Snow Raven emblem should be personally issued by the head of the Metz family.

After obtaining the Snow Raven Emblem, the Sentinel was attached to Snowcastle and was only at the disposal of Captain Mace and Edus, and had no connection with the Legion Commander to whom he was originally loyal. In the absence of a commanding mission, these few snow crows are scattered around as free sentinels to gather information.

"There's a silver chain strung on it, and it should be just the right length for you to wear around your neck. With a somewhat complicated expression, Mace cleared his throat: "It was supposed to be awarded to your brother Videl as a reward for his single-handedly being able to detect the location of multiple enemy outposts. Unfortunately, he died young, and he was not able to lie down in the cold tomb with him. Now all I can do is posthumously crown him as a snow crow. ”

"It's an honor that belongs to him, not to me. Even if it's his younger brother, he shouldn't inherit it. Shaking his head, Vicol handed it back in frustration: "I'm not qualified to wear it." I'm sorry, sir. ”

"Whether or not you are eligible for this honor is up to me, the city lord, to judge. With a grimaceous grimace, Mace made a firm statement: "I think you're good enough to get it, Vicol." Before making this decision, I investigated your performance over the years of service - you have done many missions with great success, and you are indeed an elite among the sentinels. ”

Elite...... The word slammed into his heart, and Vicol couldn't control his trembling with excitement.

"Keep in mind that this badge isn't yours forever until you retire. Looking meaningfully at Vicol, Metz slowly added: "It is won by real strength, and it needs to be maintained by strength." If what you do in the future is not worthy of this badge of heroes, I will definitely take it back. ”

"I understand. Staring at the badge, he sighed, still unable to pick it up: "But my lord...... To be honest, I don't want to be a sentry anymore. After the last reconnaissance mission, I was going to leave here and go to Beihai to see the life I wanted. ”

"Being a snow crow doesn't affect your pursuit of the life you desire. On the contrary, it can help you achieve your dreams. Looking directly into the sentry's eyes, Mace said calmly, "I have bought a house in Beihaiwang. It's not big, but it's really by the sea, and the sea breeze blows every day. Everything is in line with your ideal abode, Vicol...... As long as you work for Winterfell as a snow raven, it's yours. ”

"Ahh......h......h

Before he could recover from his shock, Mace smiled again and said, "Don't get me wrong, soldier. I didn't give it to you for nothing. That's what you deserve as a free sentinel stationed in the North Sea - the meaning of getting the Snow Raven insignia should be well understood by you as a sentry. ”

"I understand. After examining it again, Vicol's heart shuddered: he really deserved this honor, and although he had always dreamed of getting it one day, when it came, he was a little at a loss.

"Good. Holding the emblem in the palm of his hand, the city lord's voice rang out: "In the name of the Lord of Eternal Winter, I, Balvo Metz, hereby officially award the Snow Raven Badge to the elite of the sentinels, Vicol Bloom, would you like to accept it?"

"I—Of course I do. Thrilled by the sudden accolade, the sentinel's tongue was a little knotted. It wasn't until Mace put on the badge for him that Vicor felt dizzy, and he didn't really feel anything: he had really become a snow crow? Moreover, he could go to Beihai to live......

"It's been a long time since I've seen this routine ceremony. Smiling and patting Vicol on the shoulder, the lord said briskly, "It's for you, Snow Raven." ”

Snow Raven ...... Listening to the city lord's address to himself, Vicol was so excited that he didn't say a word.

"My lord, what should I do?" pinching the badge to feel the cold temperature of the metal, Vicol could only squeeze out this sentence: "You sent me to Beihai Wang, you should have already thought about the order to be given, right?"

"That's right, and it's a very important task. With a bitter smile, Mace pushed a roll of the map to Snow Crow: "Anyway, you put away this map of Beihaiwang Town first." It marks the location of your house. ”

Keeping staring at Vicol, the moment he put away the map, Mace slowly spoke: "There are no snow crows in Beihaiwang, you are the first." I need you to be aware of the anomalies in the town and take action on your own. I now have a strong suspicion that the enemy has infiltrated the town and is ready to attack. ”

"Ice Rock People?" subconsciously touched the pipe, and Vicol immediately responded, "No problem, but they have all lost their outposts, even if they infiltrate troops into the town, what's the use?"

"I'm referring to the evil forces of the Dark Glacier. Especially replicas. Mace's expression became more solemn, and Mace's tone was extremely worried: "Just like our Everwinter, it is said that the interior of Icerock City has also been infiltrated by enemy forces. Therefore, it is difficult to imagine that the town of Beihaiwang has not been invaded. And ......"

After a slight hesitation, the lord was silent for a moment, but continued: "From now on, everything I say must be kept secret, Snow Raven - I have been skeptical since a few days ago, why did the Children of Frost launch that night attack on us? In their social system, the lord has absolute military command. Therefore, the order to send troops was definitely given by Rica Wilder, the lord of Ice Rock City. stabbing us in times of crisis is not like his usual style. ”

"What do you mean?" Already hearing the meaning of Mace's words, Vicol instantly felt a chill.

"Since they assassinated me, they must have done something to Wild. His eyes suddenly became a little cold, and Mace's words were in the middle of Snow Crow's speculation: "It's possible that he has been controlled by the enemy, but he doesn't want to be overly speculated." Therefore, we want to intensify the conflict between the two cities through night raids, so that we can weaken each other and disperse the army. In any case, the army of Corruptors that come out lasts will have much less resistance. ”
