"Father, can I continue my expedition with you after I go back this time? I want to learn more from you. ”

"You should stay at home with your mother. ”

"Maybe you and your mother can have another child. I wanted a younger sister and let my sister go with my mother. And I can continue to fight with you. ”

In the snowstorm, Richie rode his horse and chased Gray closely.

"Don't you want to be with your mother?"

"No, I think, but didn't you say that knights should be on the path of fighting for justice?"

"Yes, but there won't be a day when you will be required to fight. Until then, I'll settle everything. ”

"Isn't my life going to be boring? Father, it's not fair. ”

Achill Norman has taken the form of a dragon and soared through the sky. Gray and Richie followed, followed by the rest of the Mission.

The fierce wind carried snowflakes and ice crystals, turning the whole world into a white expanse. Looking up, they couldn't even see the sky anymore.

"We thought the weather would be better when we left, but we didn't expect it to be worse than when we came! Is this God working against us?" the mallet muttered as he walked through the wind and snow, rolling his eyes desperately.

Vivien and Catherine, who had disappeared, wandered back and forth beside Gray.

The black cat was freezing in Gray's armor and her teeth chattered.

"Father, I think we still need to discuss it. Richie chased after him in the snow, "Maybe you should leave me with an enemy or two for me to deal with." As the son of the Lich King, I also need glory and want an extraordinary life. Just one or two, the kind that doesn't need to be too strong. ”

"You will have your own glory. Glory is not just about destroying the enemy. Even destroying the enemy is just the beginning. War is not our goal, it is only a last resort. After the war, we still need to rebuild, and there is much more to be done. Let everyone be kind and upright, and let the Holy Light shine in every corner of the world, is our real goal. ”

"Okay......" Richie frowned aggrievedly and muttered in a low voice, "Maybe I should continue to focus on studying magic, after all, I still have to find a way to extend my mother's life." Human life is too short, and I wish my mother would always be with me, as I am now, and not just another lich. ”

Gale swept by, and young Richie followed in his father's footsteps.

......

In the vast expanse, black figures were ready. After casting their magic, they became one with the snow, not even noticing the golden dragons flying through the sky.

......

"Father, I really want a sister. I'm the only half-lich in this world, and it's so lonely. Actually, the mother also wanted a daughter, but she just thought you were too busy, so she didn't mention it. Also, it is you, not me, that my mother wants to be by her side the most. Maybe you can leave more things to me so that you can spend more time with your mother. ”

Reaching out and touching Richie's helmet, Gray whispered, "There will be a sister, and maybe a brother." But after the battle. We have more important things to do. And you're going to have to give me a little time to make sure I'm fully capable of being a father. ”

"I think you've done a great job. After a pause, Richie continued, "Then I'll tell my mother that you agree that you should give me a sister and a brother." ”

"Good. Gray replied.

"Didn't anyone think to ask me?" Vivien, who was floating around, rolled her eyes.

......

In a different dimension, in the white expanse, a huge picture is suspended.

In the picture, it is the mission that is struggling to move forward.

"The Black Dragons have just given us a new piece of news that they will be beheading the Lich King Grey in order to reverse the situation. ”

"Will they succeed?"

"At the moment, it seems that there is a good probability of success. There aren't many people in the Lich King Gray who sent the Golden Dragon Belt. They pinned their safety on the Golden Dragons. However, the Golden Dragons have the inner response of the Black Dragon, and they are mobilizing all the forces they can muster. ”

"If they succeed, what will happen to the situation in the Celtic continent next?"

"The Black Dragons have promised us that their sphere of influence will not extend beyond the borders of the Gustav Empire. ”

"I think they want us to help them stop the Lich's counterattack. ”

"It's a very risky move. The undead will choose to fight with them endlessly. ”

"You have to admit that even if they don't, the undead won't stop there. The situation couldn't have been worse for them. ”

......

"Hurry up! Are you all shit! Just like this! You're as slow as a turtle! What qualifications do you have to claim to be a dwarf born in a snowy mountain!"

Akleon and Lucy talk about the secrets that the golden dragon has imparted.

"It was a windfall, and we were given the secret method of making food that the undead could also eat. When we get back, we should immediately hold a feast and invite all the lichs!"

"They will definitely beg us to tell them that we should hang them for a while. I couldn't help but want to see their helpless expressions. ”

"The lich has no expression. ”

"Well, that's a shame. ”

......

In the abyss, the demons are also looking forward to it.

"The current situation is not good for anyone. It's the same for heaven and it's the same for us. The Lich King's rapidly expanding power has compressed everyone's living space, which is not what we want to see. ”

"The Lich King's greatest weakness is himself. At the age of one hundred and fifty, it is impossible to have too much magic power to build a strong enough defense. ”

"He is the point of connection between humans and the Lich Alliance, and he is also the point of connection between the Golden Dragon and the Lich Alliance. We have every reason to believe that as soon as he disappears from this world, the already fragile alliance will collapse in an instant. The assassination will provoke great hatred, and this hatred will lead them away from the course set by the Lich King Gray, and then distort the faith. After that, the entire continent of Celtés will be plunged into a catastrophe. We will be able to regain our previous influence at the right time. Even, countless times more powerful than before. ”

"Don't you need to send someone to help them?"

"Let them bear the wrath of the lichs, why do we set ourselves on fire? ”

......

Salted Fish Harbor.

"Madame, are you sure you don't want this cloth? I see you like it very much. ”

"No, it's too expensive. I shouldn't be so extravagant. ”

"But you are the lady of the Venerable Lich King, and there should be no cloth in the world that you cannot afford. ”

Shelley looked at the precious fabric in front of him, but finally shook his head and smiled.

"Well......," the tailor thought for a moment, and said, "How about I give it to you as a gift?"

"No, thank you. I don't think I should have accepted such a gift. Of course, thank you very much. ”

"Okay. The tailor sighed helplessly.

As soon as the tailor left, Camilla hurriedly pushed the door open and walked in, "Madam, there is good news, His Royal Highness the Lich King will be back here in three days!

"Really?" Shelley stood up with wide eyes and smiled with joy that could not be concealed: "Will Richie come back with him too?"

"Of course, he always follows His Highness the Lich King. ”

"Did they send the letter back?"

"No, not really. They are still in the Valley of the Dragon, and communication is not very convenient. It was Brutus who said it, and maybe there was some kind of way of messaging between the lichs. I don't really understand that. ”

"That's good. Shelley pursed her lips and smiled, smiled sweetly, and said softly, "I want to have this kind of messaging with Gray too." That way, I'll always know what they're doing and if they're in danger. ”

"The Lich King will not be in any danger. Camilla smiled and replied, "No power in the world can defeat him, we all know that." ”

"Of course. Not...... Now it's time to get ready for them. With that, Shelley hurried out of the room.

......

There will never be an easy way forward.

History has always been full of waves and thorns.

Especially when what you are looking for is incompatible with the most powerful forces in the world. When you infringe on everyone's interests at the same time. When the whole world wants you to disappear......

An inadvertent mistake, an inconspicuous oversight, a small flaw, can lead everything to another end.

......

In the midst of the blizzard, Gray and the members of the mission finally came to the black dragon's ambush circle. The hidden Black Dragon Ambush had clearly sensed his presence, but he had no idea what he was about to encounter.

Achill Norman, who had been transformed into a dragon, flapped his wings and descended from the sky and landed in front of Gray, transforming into a human form.

"What's wrong?" Gray asked.

"Nothing, Your Highness the Lich King. Archiel Norman looked back and saluted respectfully, saying, "This storm is just too big, and it seems to be getting bigger. It's been a long time since I've seen a storm of this intensity. I couldn't see anything in the sky, and I thought I should fall to the ground. Otherwise, you will not be able to see me clearly as I guide you. ”

"It doesn't matter, we know the way. Of course, we may not recognize it very well, but we at least know the direction to go back. You can go back first. ”

"That's not going to work. You have shown enough respect for our Golden Dragons, and we will certainly reciprocate it as well. Escorting our guests away, which is what we should have done in the first place. Let me continue to show you the way. ”

With that, Achill Norman walked up to Gray and held out a hand.

"Well, thank you. Gray reached out and handed his reins.

Alex Lahan, who was hovering back and forth in the sky, watched intentionally or unconsciously.

......

Just across the hillside, countless pairs of eyes hidden in the snow are also quietly watching.

"Are you ready to do it?"

"Not yet, it's too far. Wait a little longer, wait for them to get closer. We need to make sure they don't even have a chance to open the door to space. ”

"It's hard to grasp. We also have to make sure that they are not aware of our presence. ”

......

Holding the reins of Tenadas, Achill Norman walked step by step into the ambush circle.

The wind swept the snowflakes and continued to wreak havoc wildly.

The undead are okay, the dwarves are dying, and with every foot they step on, the snow goes straight to their knees. He was gasping heavily, but he kept going.

"To be honest, can we apply to the Golden Dragon Clan, next time we come back, just open a space door and we're done. ”

"Do you want to come again? I don't want to come again. It's delicious, but it's tiring enough. ”

......

"It's only a kilometer away, do you want to do it?"

"No, we'll have to wait. ”

"There are only two Great Lichs, do we need to be that careful?"

"There are still people from the Golden Dragon Clan in the sky. They won't sit idly by. ”

......

"Father, shall we go back to Salted Fish Harbor directly?"

"Let's go to the Lion King Capital first, where I want to announce our alliance with the Golden Dragon Clan to everyone. Then, we return to Salted Fish Harbor. ”

"Yes, my father. ”

......

"Six hundred meters. If we get closer, the two lichs might be aware of our presence. ”

The ambushers were holding their breath one by one.

The black dragon led by one hand quietly stretched out from the snow and lifted it up.

......

Ekleon, who was chatting and laughing with Lucy, suddenly paused and glanced around.

"What's wrong?" asked Lucy.

"Nothing, I just seemed to feel something. ”

"Feel what?"

"I don't know, it's just a moment, and I haven't even had time to figure out what it is. Maybe it's an illusion. ”

......

"Five hundred and fifty meters, it's already okay. ”

"Wait, it would be better if we could get closer. ”

The wind swept by, and the wind quietly lifted up, and the hand that was still standing was already trembling slightly from nervousness.

......

"Father's ......"

Before Richie could say anything new, Gray had already raised his hand to stop him. At the same time, Tenedas also stopped, so that Achill Norman, who was leading the horse in front, was stunned for a moment and turned around.

"Your Highness the Lich King, what's wrong?"

Gray didn't answer, just raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, and looked ahead in a daze. It was white and there was nothing.

The mallet that hurried with his head down hit Karl's horse's ass directly.

"Why did you stop all of a sudden?

The entire mission stopped, standing in the wind and snow staring blankly ahead, their eyes wide open.

Even the golden dragons circling back and forth in the sky were a little puzzled.

Silence, long silence.

"They've found us!"

The next moment, countless black shadows burst out of the snow and rushed towards them from all directions. Some remain humanoid, while others directly transform into black dragon form.

All of a sudden, the entire mission, including Gray, Richie, Achill Norman, and the many golden dragons in the sky, were stunned, except for some that they had known for a long time.

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
