Enraged, like a lion whose territory has been encroached upon, he entered his mansion and came to the reception room. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info's gloomy face immediately saw a tall and majestic blonde man sitting in his own chair, and a noblewoman who looked gentle and noble and beautiful had a good conversation.

The more they laughed, the darker the gloom on Madding's face. But instead of having a seizure at once, he clapped his hands and spoke to the maids and servants who were standing around the two of them.

"Let me go out, and I am not allowed to come in without my orders. ”

Hear the words of the master and see the face of the master. Most of the maids bowed their heads and walked out in a panicked pace. But others looked at the stout blonde man, as if they were going to do it after he had been ordered to do so.

And looking at Mai Dingwen, whose face was getting more and more ugly, the blonde man waved his finger lightly and said to the guards beside him.

"Go out too, and keep the door. Don't let inconsequential people!"

Hearing such an order, the guards who were responsible for protecting their masters bowed down respectfully and withdrew from the reception room. And it wasn't until they closed the door of the reception room that Mai Dingwen said to His Royal Highness the Prince in front of him with a gloomy face.

"Your Highness, you shouldn't have come here!"

"I know I shouldn't be here. But I'm here, what can you do to me?"

Ripping off the lace bow tie around his neck, Klavet's handsome face showed an uninhibited smile. He spoke to the original owner of the mansion with a glass in one hand and two legs on the table, as if he were the owner of the mansion.

And looking at his performance, the gloom on Mai Dingwen's face became more and more serious.

"Now that you know, why are you here. Is it so difficult to control yourself? Your Royal Highness, can't you think about others?"

"Are you kidding me for the sake of others?" said the expression on Kravet's face, as he drank the wine in his glass. "I am the prince of the empire, and who but my brother the emperor has the right to make my mind yield to him, and why should I take into account the feelings of others?"

"Klavett, watch your words, if they are heard by the great nobles, they will inevitably cause you some stumbling block. You've been played with by those big nobles enough now, and you've lost a lot of your property. If you continue to be like this, be careful that you won't even be able to sustain your current life. ”

"Ha, my dear Ocinvia. Are you worried a little too much, just a bunch of bad old men, do you really think they have the power to knock me down completely? Don't forget, my fief was given by the emperor, and no one can take it away. And as long as there is this land of abundance, what can they do to me?"

Prince Klavet laughed as he hugged the shoulder of the noble and elegant lady beside him. In his gaping posture, there was no respect for the owner of this mansion at all. And this naturally made Mai Dingwen's face even more ugly.

The rest is already conceivable. The roar of rage, the angry scolding of the prince, and the crackling of a big fight. When the sneering prince pushed open the door, the attendants outside the door, who had been listening with their ears outstretched, immediately hugged him and left the mansion of the new viscount. The mistress of the mansion sighed, calling to the maid to clean up the mess while asking the servant of the house to call the doctor.

Looking at the master with a bruised face and a face full of anger, the servants were trembling and did not dare to speak. They all did what they had to do as the hostess told them. And with their actions, the nobles of King's Landing all knew what had happened in the new baron's house, and there was once again another joke in their circle.

This is not the first time, nor is it the last. But no matter how many times it happens, it is a very happy thing for these nobles. The fortunate ministers who relied on the emperor's favor to ascend to the throne could not be welcomed. Even those who face him with a smile on their faces all day long will inevitably laugh at him in their hearts.

Envy, jealousy, or other emotions. Madding's life isn't as glamorous as he seems, but it doesn't matter anymore. At least for Hiko, who is far away in the north, it is completely unimportant.

After a great sleep, he walked towards the woods in front of his door, stepping on the morning light and some light snow. One of the advantages of living at the foot of the mountain, far from the village, is that the whole forest feels like you've been contracted. Except for those who really can't help the gluttony in their stomachs, and take the guys into the mountains to fight the tooth sacrifice. Usually, only the father and son will often come and walk around in this mountain forest.

And because of the presence of a violent guy like Daddy, it can be said that there are no fierce large animals in the entire mountain. Whether it was a bear or a tiger or a group of wolves, they were basically cleaned up by their father, and then they were beaten by their father and son. Over the years, except for wild boars, Hiko really hasn't seen any dangerous animals in this forest.

Of course, the lost wasteland bear doesn't count, and that terrifying big beast is not an animal in this mountain forest at all. They are supposed to live in the depths of the more dangerous snow-capped mountains, not in the forests near them. So its appearance was a complete accident.

This is also the reason why Yan dared to drill into the forest after being attacked by that kind of monster-level animal, he didn't believe that there could be another monster like a wasteland bear in such a large forest. And, even if he had, he would have to drill into it. Not to mention, even for the peak trading season of the ice-breaking period at sea, he must be fully prepared. Moreover, he is not the same person he was yesterday now, and since he already has his father's support, is he still afraid of meeting a big bear in this place?

He carried a wide basket and a sharp scythe. In this way, Hiko walked among the woods with no fear. His main target is the snowthorn bushes that grow in the woods, and then take a look at the traps that have been laid down in recent times. If there are any unexpected gains such as snow rabbits and snow deer, he really doesn't mind changing his taste.

Patrolling the mountains and forests, this kind of thing sounds like a good thing. But when it comes to doing it, it's a boring and tedious thing. Hiko's traps were evenly walked around the forest, which meant that he had to walk a long distance to see all the traps. In addition, he had to collect the leaves and fruits of the snow thorn bush on the way, which took a lot of time.

So, he set out in the morning, and he was not going to finish it until halfway through the afternoon. The night in the Northland always comes very early, and at this time it is already when the sun is about to set, and the mountains and forests are already deep and dark. After looking up at the sky and estimating the time, Yan struggled to carry the snow deer on his body and walked in the direction of his home step by step.

The snow deer caught in the trap he laid was already dying when he met it. The vast expanse of snow and deadly traps trapped it in the mountains and forests for an unknown amount of time, and it endured the deadly cold while also enduring the torment of hunger. So it didn't take much effort at all, and Hiko ended its life and put it on his back basket.

This is the way of life of the Nords, and on the entire ice field. The law of the jungle is the strongest, and there is no extra sympathy at all, so slaughtering such a poor animal is really no big deal for Hiko. He is accustomed to it, and he will not be like the elves in this world, who have to mourn and pray for animals when they hunt them. He didn't have that kung fu, and he didn't think he had the need.

Every Nord grows up with countless hunts, and this is only part of his upbringing. If you have to mourn every step you take, then it is estimated that you will not be able to go long in your life. So awareness is very important for that.

Life is precious, but sometimes it is very cheap. This point has already been clear to Hiko, who has experienced a lot.

With a deer on his back and a large basket of snow thorn leaves and fruits, Hiko's speed really couldn't be fast. And just as he was halfway home, it was already completely dark. It was completely dark in front of him, and Hiko could barely see anything except the little bit of territory in front of him with the help of starlight and the reflection of the snow.

However, this did not cause him to panic. After all, he has lived in a place for more than ten years, and even with his eyes closed, he can get a rough idea of what he can do in the woods. However, just as he was walking towards his home with his memory, he suddenly heard the faint sound of a bell.

Not far in front of him, a long snake-like procession was moving slowly, and the sound of loud bells, the mooing of yaks from the snow-capped mountains, and the shouts of people broke the silence in this mountain forest in an instant. And by the light reflected by the long line of torches in the procession, Hiko could clearly see the well-armed Nord men waving whips and driving the yaks forward, shouting and telling the others to pay attention to their surroundings and feet.

This particular way of traveling made Hiko immediately realize that they were extraordinary. And by identifying the weapons on their bodies, Hiko was even more sure of this.

Nord is not a place rich in weapons, within a radius of hundreds of miles, seven or eight villages and towns, only Yan and them can forge qualified weapons. And if you apply this data to the entire ice field, you can see how scarce weapons and blacksmiths really are.

Most of the Nord's weapons are passed down from generation to generation, and it can be said that only one adult male in the average family can own something like a sword, axe, and hammer. But now, just the Nord men that Yan saw were equipped with longbows, swords, and waist knives, which were only available to regular Nord warriors. Not to mention, they still have very scarce armor on them. Although it is not a high-end commodity such as full-body heavy armor, it is also precious in the entire ice field.

This made Yan immediately realize that the identities of these guys are estimated to be very difficult to mess with. And when he subconsciously wanted to avoid these people, it was too late.

With a whistle, sharp arrows immediately rained down on him. Stuck him firmly in place, and watched as the Nords who had discovered him and walked towards him. Hiko sighed and immediately raised his hand and shouted.

"Your own people, don't let go of the arrow!"
