When Constantine walked back to the camp, Gayan looked at him with a strange gaze, "I can't imagine that you can do magic instantly. ”

"It's just a small skill for carving insects. Constantine said lightly.

Kayan smiled dumbly: "Although I haven't learned spells, I also know that magic instantaneous belongs to the top super magic skills, and only the most experienced or talented magicians have the opportunity to master it, if this is a small skill of carving insects, then everyone can learn magic." ”

She glanced deeply at Constantine: "You have a lot of secrets in you. ”

"Each other, each other. Constantine smiled.

He and Jiayan are both leaders of the younger generation in the mainland, and they are both very intelligent characters, and they have been together for a few days, no matter how much they disguise themselves, they can still peek into each other's extraordinaryness from many details.

It's just that the two of them tacitly understand this and maintain that quiet tacit understanding.

"Dean, have you thought about your future plans? I mean, after you've passed the High Mage Exam. Kayan said softly.

Constantine was stunned for a moment, pretending to be serious and bowing his head for a moment, then raised his head and said half-jokingly: "If I say, Miss Isera, that I want to conquer the whole world in the future, do you believe it or not?"

To his surprise, the woman in front of him was very calm, and there was even a bit of strong confidence in her voice, and said: "I believe it, because that is my ideal." ”

Constantine was speechless for a while, and from the tone of his voice, he judged that the woman in front of him was speaking from his heart, and he couldn't help but sigh again about the other party's pride and ambition.

These two adjectives were not derogatory to Ysera, in fact, Constantine admired this unusual pride, which was the most unique and lovely thing about her in the eyes of the boy.

"I know a friend whose ideals are similar to yours, but her ideals are the opposite of yours, which is to save the world. ”

Constantine said that the "she" here naturally refers to Diana, "I think that one day in the future, you will probably become her opponent." ”

"She?"

Kayan tilted his head curiously, "That friend of yours, is it a woman?"

Constantine nodded.

Kayan stared at the young man's delicate face seriously, "Dean, we're friends too, right?"

"Of course, at least for now. ”

Kayan's eyes flashed with a hint of playfulness, "If there really is a day, which side will you be on?"

Constantine shook his head, "I don't know, I can only pray that there will never be a day, Miss Ysera, you saved my life, and I will never forget this kindness." ”

"Whatever you want to do, I will do my best to help you achieve it. Constantine looked at the woman in front of him gently. "This is my promise,"

Kayan looked at his eyes steadily, and found that the young man's gaze was clear and clean, like the water of a lake without the slightest impurity.

This clarity made her heart tremble slightly, and some of the most secret corners of her heart were touched.

"What if... I want you to stay with me and be my brain, will you say yes?" said Kayan softly.

Hearing this, Constantine was stunned. "Miss Ysera, I don't quite understand what you mean by that?"

Kayan didn't answer immediately, turned around and walked into the depths of the snowfield.

As far as the eye can see, everything is covered in snow, black granite, dark green bushes, rolling mountains in the distance, and large fields are all submerged in this snow world.

It was getting dark, and the snowflakes were getting smaller.

Thick, heavy lead clouds cracked a crack, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone over the rolling peaks and on the vast expanse of snow, bright as blood.

After a long time.

The two walked to the top of a hill and stood under a towering fir tree, standing side by side, facing the cold wind in the depths of the north and looking out at the vast snowy country in front of them.

The golden twilight fell, through the gaps in the canopy of the fir trees, scattering pillars of light, sprinkling on a pair of men and women standing side by side, bringing a burst of warmth.

Constantine narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling the cold wind blowing on his face, and his heart gradually calmed down, recalling those early mornings a few years ago, standing on the peak of the seminary every day to read in the morning.

His gaze then passed through the vast mountains and snowfields in the distance, and his heart suddenly throbbed, and a strong longing gripped his heart.

He knew that one more day of walking would be the most majestic city in the north, the hometown of his dreams.

For countless days and nights, that city would come to his mind.

Winterfell.

Twelve years!The palms of Master Constantine's robes clenched tightly into fists.

Kayan's voice rang in his ears, "Dean, not far from here is the capital of your former principality. ”

"yes, I know. Constantine muttered, a look of distraction, and in the eyes of Gayan, it was the young man who was sad about the former glory and the current decline of the principality. "But it's gone. ”

"What I want to tell you is that I've been to Winterfell since I was a kid, and I've always loved it. ”

Constantine hung his head and listened quietly as she finished speaking.

Kayan continued, "You may not believe it, but one of my dreams in life is to see the city stand again. ”

Constantine said lightly: "What you want to see is Winterfell that belongs to the Dragonlance Dynasty, and the city I yearn for belongs to the Azerotans." ”

At this point, the invisible chasm that has been standing in front of the two of them has resurfaced

"Yes, you and I have different positions, that's true. Kayan nodded, "But that was from the past. ”

"However, even you, Dean, cannot deny the fact that the fall of Azeroa is a foregone conclusion, and no matter how much you yearn for the former principality, it will never return. ”

Constantine hung his head and waited silently for what was to come.

"You're a great magician, and Vismal won't let go of a talent like you in the future. "However, attached to the greedy and short-sighted Silver Dragon Family, that kind of life is certainly not what Dean wants." ”

"Azeroa can't give you a bigger stage, but I can. ”

Kayan turned his head and looked at Constantine's side face, "Come back with me, you can get whatever you want." ”

"Miss Ysera, may I try to understand that you are trying to understand that you are trying to win me over to work for your family?" said Constantine coldly.

"It's not for my family, it's for the dynasty, we are different from the Holy Empire, even if it's the Eight Dragon Vein Families, it doesn't represent the dynasty. ”

Kayan smiled slightly, "Moreover, my family has no restraints on me, everything I have so far has been obtained by my own hands, and this is the greatest advantage of our dynasty compared to other countries on the continent: as long as you show enough ability and military exploits, you can obtain the status and resources that match it." ”

"If you want Dean, you can also follow me and become my subordinate. ”

Constantine said: "Miss Ysera, frankly speaking, you are amazing enough, maybe in a few decades, the dynasty will have one more female general or even the first female duchess in history, I don't think you need to use me for anything." ”

"I told you before that my target is not just within the dynasty, but the entire continent and even the whole world, so I need your help. ”

Kayan gently patted the towering trees beside him, "It's like a seedling that wants to become a towering giant tree, it has to keep taking root and absorbing nutrients. ”

"No matter how strong I am, after all, I am only a conspicuous canopy above my head, but I don't have a solid foundation, and I can't stand in the wind and snow for a long time, I need a helper who is smart enough and strong enough. ”

"Why did you choose me? I'm only a mid-level mage now, and I don't believe that with your background, Miss Ysera, you won't be able to find a more powerful mage than me to help you. ”

Constantine shook his head. "Besides, my status as an Azerotan will surely bring you criticism. ”

"Don't be modest, judging from my observations in the past few days, you already have the ability to rival that of a high-level mage, you know, even in the genius Dragon Vein family, there are not many people who can have your current strength at this age. ”

"And more importantly, unlike most people, you're not the kind of mage who doesn't know anything other than spells, and you're more of a force to use your extraordinary talents." ”

"As for origin, it's nothing, as I said, in the dynasty, as long as you show good enough ability, even if you are a commoner, you will earn the respect of everyone. ”

"By that time, all your dreams will be fulfilled, even if it's to rebuild a Wintercity that belongs to the Azerotans. ”

Kayan stretched out his hand and pointed to the vast northland snowfields in the distance, his expression calm and calm, and said in an extremely confident tone, "Maybe one day, the entire continent will crawl under our feet." ”

Then she paused, then turned her head to look at the young man beside her again, her eyes shining brighter than the afterglow of the setting sun, "Dean, are you willing to help me and realize my ideals?"

Constantine was in a trance.

Many years ago, he and Siegfried stood on the top of a mountain, looking down into the distance in this way.

Clouds flowed beneath their feet, and a morning sun hung over the sea of clouds, radiating a dazzling brilliance that dazzled the two boys who reached the top of the mountain.

In the bright morning glow, the young man, full of fighting spirit and blood, turned his head and slammed his fist on the shoulder, and the heroic laughter echoed in the mountain wind, as if to shake the sea of clouds so that the whole sky could hear it.

"Constantine, as long as we are together, one day, the whole world will be subjugated to our feet. ”

"In the story of the future, all the dragons, elves, and humans will sing our name. ”

When he shouted these words, the smile on Siegfei's face was brighter than the sun, "We will become immortal legends, alongside the six epic heroes, this ideal will definitely be realized." ”

The handsome middle-aged man with white hair was sitting behind two excited teenagers, holding a twig, and intently copying something on the ground.

Hearing the last sentence, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a smile that he didn't know whether it was relief or sarcasm.

After many years, the blood of his childhood has gradually cooled, and Constantine has forgotten the oath he made on the top of the mountain.

But now, looking at the familiar and focused eyes of the woman in front of him, I heard Constantine recall the scene when he was a child.

What a familiar word!

Constantine took a deep breath and let the icy cold wind soothe the chaotic thoughts in his heart, "I'm sorry, I can't say yes, Miss Ysera, I appreciate your abilities and admire you as a person, and I will not forget your kindness to me, and I will do my best to reciprocate." ”

"But just as you have your pride, I also have my pride and bottom line. ”

"I, first and foremost, am an Azerian. ”

Constantine's calm voice echoed in the cold wind, as firm as a pine and cypress standing proudly in the snow, "Even if the Duchy of Azeroa no longer exists, I will guard it until the stars fall and I will not rest until I die." ”

Hearing this moving announcement, Kayan was not disappointed, and an inexplicable brilliance flashed in his eyes, as if he was recalling someone many years ago.

"Remarkable determination, Dean. ”

The Dragonvein Man brushed the hair off his shoulders, his voice still calm, "But what if, neither for the dynasty, nor for Azero, but only for me?"

For the first time in his life, Constantine felt as if his brain had struck, and his mind had become extremely dull, "Miss Ysera... What are you talking about?"

"I don't believe that after so long of walking together, you won't feel anything about me. A faint smile hung over his face, "You know, I mean that feeling. ”

"Miss Ysera, I have always regarded you as a respectable friend. Constantine said, but his tone was no longer as firm as before, and he subconsciously turned his head away from her.

"Maybe you didn't notice it yourself, but I know that no matter how good a person is at disguise, his eyes can't lie. ”

"You like the feeling you feel when you're with me, and you know that in your own heart. Therefore, you are willing to put aside the pride and hostility in your heart for a while, and accompany me here, who may become an enemy at any time. ”

Constantine fell silent.

After walking for dozens of days, he did have a lot of strange and complicated feelings for Ysera around him.

He and she walked through mountains, canyons, woods, and lakes together, slept in the open air, exchanged dialogues, talked about the general trend of the world, trekked together in the wind and snow, and drove away countless thieves while talking and laughing....

In just a few dozen days, this unique experience has established an indescribable tacit understanding between them from body to mind.

Whenever he looked at the side face of the woman beside him by the campfire, he couldn't help but recall the fires in Winterfell, a nostalgic sense of security that he hadn't felt in twelve years.

He was very satisfied with this feeling, and he gradually became accustomed to watching every moment of Ysera beside him, quietly watching her sassy and heroic posture when swinging her sword, eating happily while nibbling on rabbit meat, calming herself in all kinds of precipitous terrain, and listening to the sound of Suosuo's changing clothes when bathing in the forest....

Before he knew it, he gradually got used to the bits and pieces of being with her.

So he didn't leave halfway, nor did he make any unwarranted moves, but quietly watched and enjoyed, and couldn't bear to disturb this quiet tacit understanding and faint joy.

Because he knew that in the near future, he and this noble woman from the dragon lance would be strangers, and perhaps he would never have the chance to meet again.

So he decided to cherish this time together, and buried all the good things in his heart, without a trace.

Until this moment, Kayan tore off all his disguises and directly punctured his innermost thoughts, catching him off guard.

Constantine is undoubtedly one of the calmest people on this continent, but even he has no experience in dealing with such an unexpected situation, so he can only choose shameful silence,

After a long time, he said, "Why are you sure I like you?" Miss Ysera. ”

"Because since I was a child, all the men who have seen me, have liked me. Kayan's voice was as calm as ever, with irritating pride and confidence, and a little smugness. "But your liking is not the same as theirs..."

Saying this, the woman in front of her paused, and a rare trace of blush appeared on her beautiful cheeks, "And I... Like what you like. ”

The sentence was a bit tongue-in-cheek, but Constantine understood, and his body became extremely stiff, like a piece of wood that had been frozen by the north wind for thousands of years.
