The wind blows from the far north of the continent, blowing through the vast northern land, and the white elves dance in the whistling north wind, dancing incomparably majestic ice and snow dance music under the accompaniment of the north wind.

It's snowing.

This year's snow is particularly heavy and dense, and the slightly cold snowflakes fall on the hills, on the forests, on the fields, and sprinkle on the surface of the lake in winter, putting on a snow-white coat for the earth, wrapped in silver, and extremely enchanting.

In the snow, two slender figures walked slowly in the snow, and even the heavy snow could not stop them.

One is a woman with a classical countenance, with beauty and heroism on her perfect face, and a faint majesty exudes from her body.

The cold wind blew her cloak, and underneath it was a lightweight leather armor that delicately crafted her plump and proud figure and graceful curves.

Standing next to the female knight was a young man with a delicate face, whose face was a little pale because he had not seen the sun for several days, and was wearing a black mage robe, revealing nobrow and mystery.

From the outside, the two of them are like aristocratic couples who have traveled to the snow country.

However, in the eyes of many ill-intentioned people, such an existence is simply a rare prey.

Bam, an active bandit leader in the North, is one of them.

"Boss, you can't be wrong, the cloak on that chick alone is worth at least five thousand gold coins, and her pair of deerskin boots should be magic boots with [Resistance to Cold] runes attached, at least four thousand gold coins. ”

The bearded bandit leader glanced at his right-hand man, "Are you sure?"

On a hill not far from the snowfield, a sharp-eyed thief held an alchemy telescope, his eyes full of covetousness, "Chief, I dare to use my arm holding the telescope to vouch that this woman alone is enough for us to spend a year in Sunset City, not including the little mage next to her, this time we made a fortune." ”

Bam narrowed his eyes, snatched the binoculars from his subordinates' hands, and carefully examined the two figures slowly walking in the snow.

After seeing the woman's face clearly, greedy flames grew in his pupils, and his breathing became rapid.

"Very good, even if the clothes on this woman's body are only worth one gold coin, I have made up my mind for this deal, and I will pass the order and tell Maren and a few of them, act quietly tonight, and no one is allowed to leak the news, hehe...... lest that guy Zagul come and rob me of a woman. ”

Bam scrubbed his leather pants with his rough palms, his eyes staring at the woman's face through the binoculars, his eyes as if they were about to burst into flames, "Damn, such a beautiful girl... No matter how expensive the clothes are, they are redundant on her. ”

The thief next to him also had a lewd smile on his face, and he knew very well what Bam would do next, as he was familiar with the leader's personality.

Night falls, but this night in the snowfield is not destined to be peaceful.

Kayan glanced into the depths of the snowy fields shrouded in night, and raised his eyebrows, "Someone is coming, there are five of them, and they are all armed with weapons. ”

Constantine looked down and roasted the hare intently, without raising his head, "I don't think they passed by by accident, Miss Isera, do you want to invite them to dance?"

"Of course not, and they have arrived. "Looks like tonight's pre-dinner show is over, Dean." ”

Several figures wrapped in black cloaks and fur furs appeared in the field of vision illuminated by the firelight, and they were five stout men, each with a sharp blade at their waists,

The leader, Bam, armed with a giant sword, dragged a long ravine through the snow, his eyes shining fiercely.

Seeing Kayan by the campfire, Bam sneered and raised his greatsword, "Hey, two, sorry to disturb your dinner, let me be clear, this is my territory, and it will cost you a little if you want to hold a bonfire in this area." ”

"Oh, what price do you want?" said Kayan smiled and stretched, seeing the five robbers breathe heavily.

Looking at the perfect arc reflected by the bonfire, Bam felt a parchy of his mouth, and his eyes could no longer leave Kayan's body, "You two have fallen into the hands of Uncle Ben, woman, if you know each other, take off all the clothes on your body first, and then let Uncle I cool for a while, and let you leave when I am cool enough, Uncle I can leave a coat for you to walk out of the snowfield." ”

A hint of evil flashed in Kayan's eyes, but there was still a touching smile on his face, he stood up, picked up the sword beside him, and walked softly towards Bam, who showed a lewd gaze.

Constantine shook his head regretfully, silently lowered his head and nibbled on rabbit meat, while mourning for the five robbers for half a second in his heart.

Dare to provoke such a terrible woman, I am afraid that I am not losing my mind.

Kayan's body flickered suddenly, and the sword was unsheathed, flashing an arc of light in the night, and the dark golden sword light flashed away.

Bam's smile froze.

Behind him, the bodies of the four robbers fell silently, bright red liquid spurting out, and in an instant, their heads were in different places, and they didn't even have time to scream.

Bam clutched his hot chest and felt the warm liquid spill over his palms, and then he realized what had just happened.

Shock and horror instantly occupied his eyes.

This woman actually killed four of his most powerful subordinates with just one blow, and also cut the steel armor on his chest.

In that moment of lightning, Bam, who had the strength of a high-level knight, didn't even see the trajectory of the opponent's sword.

"You... In the end... Who's who?" Bam's legs shuddered, and after nearly a decade in the snowfields of the North, he felt the wind in the North so cold for the first time tonight.

"Isn't that cool enough? If it's not enough, you can do it a few more. Gayan walked calmly with graceful steps, and fell into Bam's eyes as if they were the dance steps of a demon.

Bam screamed, dropped the cherished sword that had accompanied him for several years, gasped, and fled as fast as he could into the night.

Kayan didn't pursue, there was no need for that at all, the sword just now had a faint dragon vein magic attached to it, even if this robber escaped, he would only live for a few more days at most.

"It's boring. Kayan withdrew his sword and pursed his lips, "Are all the robbers in the north so cowardly?"

"The robbers who don't know how to admit themselves are long dead. Constantine said, looking a little strange, although he had long guessed that Ysera's force must be good, but he did not expect it to be so terrifying.

Judging by the power and speed of that sword alone, Ysera in front of her was at least at the same level as Mordred two years ago.

"Teutonic Academy is worthy of being a veteran knight academy in the mainland, and the background is really terrifying, and it can actually cultivate such a perverted woman. Constantine sighed to himself.

He didn't know that the sword just now was not even a warm-up for Kahiko, who was a dragon vein.

"Let's eat. After Gayan sat down, Constantine skilfully handed over a roasted hare, and over the past few days, in order to satisfy Gayan's increasingly discerning tastes, his barbecue skills and magic control had improved rapidly.

If you can let a crown mage roast game with your own hands, I'm afraid you're the only one in the entire continent.

By the campfire, Constantine quietly looked at Ysera's beautiful face, and watched the happy smile on the woman's face as she nibbled on rabbit meat, and his heart suddenly became lighter and happy.

"I wish there were more of these robbers, I haven't fought for a long time, and my hands are a little raw. Kayan said smutteringly as he nibbled on rabbit meat.

Ironically, episodes like tonight do continue and keep happening during the trip.

The next day, the two had barely gone far when dozens of fierce adult men with sharp axes in their hands surrounded them.

The man at the head shouted at the top of his throat: "You two, you have fallen into my hands with Uncle Zagul, that woman, if you know each other, take off your clothes, let Uncle Zagul and I feel refreshed." ”

Kayan sneered, lifted his long sword and walked over, and a sword light flashed.

Seconds later, Zagul fled with a wail.

However, it was not long before the two of them found a small hill and were about to rest, another group of robbers appeared, and the leader shouted: "You two, you are already surrounded by us, that woman, if you know each other, take off your clothes, let Uncle Kadar and me feel better." ”

Kayan's eyes lit up with murder, and he raised his long sword again.

This time she was not polite, and slashed with a few swords, and a dazzling blood-colored color suddenly bloomed under the hillside, stained red with snow.

On the third day, a group of thieves stopped in front of the two, "You two have been surrounded by our squirrel thieves, that woman, if you know each other..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kayan, who was extremely impatient, threw a branch out casually, directly smashing the jaw of the shouting thief, and the rest of the thieves scattered in panic.

"How do these guys keep saying these lines? I'm going crazy. Kayan grumbled in a low voice. "I don't know how to change it. ”

Constantine was also speechless, "Maybe it's because they're all used to shouting, you can't expect a group of robbers to recite sonnets to you before robbing..."

Then on the fourth day, there was another familiar "You two, already...."

Gayan, who fell into a state of madness, directly pushed Constantine out, "I'm really annoyed, you go." ”

Constantine shrugged his shoulders helplessly, calmed down, and looked at the outcropping gang of bandits in front of him.

Although the opening speech was as vulgar as ever, this group of robbers was very different from the ragtag troops of the previous days.

They were wearing leather armor made of high-level demonic beasts, with two-handed swords on their waists, with awe-inspiring killing intent, and their faces were neat, faintly smelling of a regular army.

"Mage?" a middle-aged man with good facial features at the head glanced at Constantine's robes sarcastically, "A noble little mage who has not grown up even his hair dares to come to the north to play adventure games? ”

"Who are you? It doesn't seem like the previous robbers. ”

The middle-aged man laughed, "Our dignified Silver Sword Mercenary Group, how can it be compared to those unpopular little thieves you met before, and I won't embarrass you, hand over all the things worth more than a thousand gold coins on your body, otherwise, we don't mind doing it ourselves." ”

The Silver Sword Mercenary Regiment?Constantine's heart moved, and he roughly understood the reason.

The Silver Sword Mercenary Regiment, a veteran mercenary group in Azeroa, is mainly active in the depths of the northern snowfields, and was also famous for a while ten years ago, until the Silver Dragon family became the master, and gradually declined until it disappeared.

Forced to make a living, this group of former arrogant mercenaries had to put down their bodies and act as despicable robbers.

Constantine sighed, a faint sadness welling up in his heart.

Noticing the pity that flashed between the young man's eyebrows, the middle-aged man narrowed his eyes, raised his sword in both hands, and poured out a sharp sword aura, cutting all the branches above his head, and the rank of the high-ranking knight was unobstructed.

His tone became colder than ice, "I'll say it one last time..."

As soon as the words fell, the middle-aged head felt his body stiffen, and his whole body couldn't move.

"Stasis!" The middle-aged man was shocked, he was not a reckless person who knew nothing about magic, "Or is it instantaneous?"

Constantine's hand waved slightly, and in a few breaths, a faint magical light spilled out, shackling all the mercenaries who were about to pounce on them, like statues.

Fear appeared on their faces, and the Silver Sword mercenaries did not expect that they would encounter such a terrifying magician.

After throwing out the mid-level magic of [Group Bondage] in an understatement, Constantine walked up to the immobile middle-aged man and quietly stared at the down-and-out mercenary leader.

The middle-aged man struggled hard, but found that he could not get rid of the shackles of magical power no matter what, so he could only take a deep breath, "Since I am defeated, I have nothing to say, give it a good time, Master Magician, but please let my men go, they are still children, and they are the descendants of my comrades-in-arms." ”

Constantine looked at him for a moment, and with a wave of his hand, he lifted the arcane that bound him.

Ignoring the stunned look on the other party's face, Constantine put his face to the middle-aged man's ear and said lightly: "Go to Sunset City, find the deputy governor of Brillouin, he will give you a good future, robbers, don't do this kind of thing in the future." ”

"You?" the middle-aged man took a few steps back and looked at the young man in front of him in disbelief, "Who the hell is it?"

"Just a passer-by going home. Constantine turned around and did not look back, his tone a little lonely.

Looking at Constantine's slightly gloomy but extremely resolute back in the fine snow, the middle-aged man stood in place, stunned for a long time, and felt that this back seemed familiar.

It wasn't until Constantine's figure disappeared that he remembered: years ago, he was under Winterfell, when he saw the triumphant return of Archduke Elliott, who had just defeated the dragon knights, and Archduke Elliott stood at the head of the city, waving to the crowd below, smiling and receiving the cheers of the people below.

When His Excellency turned to leave, he seemed to have this back.

In the winter of that year, thousands of miles of snow drifted for a long time.
