The blizzard is still falling, and although the road has not been completely blocked, there is no place to walk.

Ai Xiu studied outside the house for a long time before returning with his instruments......

"Mentor. ”

Igonia and Warren stood up at the same time and said.

"It's okay, sit down, I'll go out and take a look outside, the snow is still heavy and we may not be able to move forward, wait until it's a little later to send a signal to let the other knights know where we are." ”

"Yes. Warren said.

The three of them were sent to the north to carry out missions as the wizards of Elenta, and during the war, the wizards of the north killed many people in battle, even if most of the beasts that were okay were disabled or seriously injured, the only ones who survived were almost all the southern organizations.

Originally, Ai Xiu's status in the Basharan Empire was not high, but he was knowledgeable and the type of scholar since he was a child, so he gradually gained a reputation among wizards, and sometimes although his rank and ability could not keep up, he also had a status among high-level wizards......

No wizard on the team would turn down a talented person.

This is especially true in areas that you are not good at!

"Warren, you go outside and get some firewood and come back, we'll rest here tonight, if nothing else, everyone can sleep, I just checked that there is no one around!" said Ai Xiu.

"Okay, Mentor. ”

After watching the wizard walk out, only Ai Xiu and Igonia were left in the room......

In the last two years, Igonia seems to have become less talkative, but she is much more serious than before.

If she was a lawless sorceress more than four years ago in Koga City, she is now becoming more and more like a wizard.

That's about the same age.

At that time, she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and now she is almost twenty years old, and even her appearance has changed a lot.

In recent years, it is said that he has learned a lot from those high-ranking wizards at the Wizard's Tower in Dì Dū, and most of the time he spends most of his time alone in the Wizards' Guild studying various books, and many people in Dì Dū have begun to spread that Igonia is becoming more and more like herself.

And that's exactly what happened......

Ai Xiu's ideal heir was Warren, but in just two years, Igonia forced her level to approach the 9th level of the Orderer with her hard work and talent, and she was about to break through 10, which is a level that even Warren has not reached.

Coupled with her current knowledge of various magic and wizard stories, she already has the title of wizard scholar!

"Nia ......"

"What's wrong? ”

Igonia turned her head, although her face was still a young girl's face, but there was a special determination in her eyes.

"Do you know what we're doing here?" Ai Xiu asked suddenly.

"Isn't it investigating the appearance of strangers in the neighborhood? Igonia replied as a matter of course.

"That's just a rhetoric to the outside, how can there be people living in a no-man's land...... Because of the war, even the crops in the nearby fields have been destroyed, and if there are people living, what will they eat?"

Ai Xiu's words suddenly brought Igonia to her senses.

The northern part of the Basharan Empire is not as good as it used to be, but it is not the rich country.

Many nobles died in the wars in the north, and some of them died for various reasons in later life, and now most of the land is given to the nobles to take care of, and many are deserted.

Places where there are people are concentrated around big cities, and as long as you go a little farther, it is a no-man's land......

In two years, no man's land has long been impossible for people to exist, and it is estimated that there are few animals.

And for ordinary civilians, living alone without a community means danger, and they don't do such stupid things.

"Mentor mean it's not people here?" Igonia, who had been silent since just now, suddenly became serious at this time.

"It's just a possibility, because I don't think there's anyone living in this area...... Anyway, let's be careful, and send a message in the evening to let the surrounding knights or wizards know that we are here, so that we can take care of it. ”

Igonia nodded.

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

Because the snow was too heavy to walk, the three of Ai Xiu's apprentices had to rest in this abandoned house.

This is probably the house of the rich people in the town in the past, and when the war came, a lot of furniture could not be moved, and there were still a lot of leftover utensils in the house, as well as complete furniture and food that had been turned into carbon slag.

The potted plants in the room are long gone.

It was already dark after the three of them had eaten a little.

Like all winter nights, the cold wind blew the door slammed, and it felt like the wind was about to break the door in the next second, and it was even louder outside the house.

There was nothing to do at night, so Igonia ran alone to the attic room to be quiet......

The attic was too chaotic to live in, but it was quiet because it was empty.

She was alone by the window and let the snow fly by, but it all melted away the moment she got close to her.

It's winter again, and the last winter of the last one I spent in his town, and the place is pretty much the same as here, and it's horribly quiet at night, but the room is warm, very warm, very warm.

Even the layout is similar to here......

Speaking of which, this can't be the original home of the baron in this village.

Igonia laughed as she thought about it.

I heard that the desert is very hot, and there is no such winter, so I don't know what it is like over there!

Suddenly, the magic fluctuations around him jumped.

"Warren. ”

"Hah...... I didn't want to disturb you, but I didn't expect to be discovered by you. ”

Igonia turned her head, a sapphire bead tied around her neck, and her earrings were purple and still shining in the faint light of the fire.

"What's the matter?"

"It's nothing, I just want to come and see you!"

Igonia's cold answer made Warren feel somewhat uncomfortable, it is said that she had studied magic with the legendary witch of another empire, the Black Rose Fatherine Blair, who had always been cold and glamorous, and that woman had begun to have an effect on Igonia.

"Senior sister, I'm also your senior brother, so you can't have a little respect in the team. Warren said with some annoyance.

"I already have a lot of respect for you, Warren, and it's my personal time, so I don't need you to dictate. The cold attitude made Warren feel even more uncomfortable.

If it was a few years ago, my junior sister didn't dare to talk to herself like this, and everything started from the time in Kega City.

"Well, I'd like to warn you, junior sister. The little prince is far away in the desert, and I have heard that the former Red Dragon Witch Frelia Igouil has gone to the desert, and they may be married soon...... Stop dreaming of your princess, you're just a little witch. ”

"What I'm doing has nothing to do with you!"

Before Warren could finish speaking, Igonia yelled angrily.

This sound caught the attention of Ai Xiu below......

"What are you doing! Come down, I've received a signal from the other Knights, they seem to be coming. ”

Igonia walked past Warren without looking back, and suddenly stopped the moment she approached.

"You'd better mind my business. ”
