It wasn't until noon that Kasha and the students from the Duchy of Byrlan returned from Professor Tilly.

Kasha deliberately staggered his gaze, unable to hide his little guilt, and said: "It is indeed the principality that asks for a return, and I may have to leave in the afternoon." ”

Before the war, the evacuation of nationals by third countries was a very normal thing in Gustav's mind. However, Gustav was seriously skeptical about whether Barran could truly be neutral in the war.

Looking at Catherine, who was still busy sorting out the materials, and Chloe, who had a sinister face and a snake-man face, he even felt that the time for the Gustan dynasty to evacuate was getting closer and closer.

"The problem is, now it's not safe for you to go back even if you go back. Rachel kept his head down, but suddenly he thought of something, and said, "You are from the northernmost ice fortress of Barran, which is now the area where the confrontation between the two sides of the war is most serious. I don't know what the decision-makers in Byrland think, but it's safest to let the out-of-town residents stay in their area right now. At the very least, the Republic will not allow air raids and wars to befall Redfarr again, and there will be quite a few military garrisons here. ”

"They're not letting you go back to enjoy a safe environment, Kasha, they're letting you go back to be cannon fodder. Rachel almost jumped.

"You're so excited that your words are so biased. Kasha understood Rachel's emotions. "You should look at Gustav and Rocan's expressions, they know what I mean. ”

"There are things that I have to do even if I know that there is danger, and I understand that feeling. Gustav felt that the atmosphere was too heavy and did not know how to proceed with the conversation.

Unlike Stillburton, which Gustav had been to and only bordered the arcane forces, the ice castle where Kasha was located was like a probe extending out of the northern part of the principality, encased in the Arlett Cult and the Arcane sphere of influence. Although, for obvious reasons, Barran had long ago chosen to be a neutral force between the two sides, in the midst of such a fierce confrontation, no one could guarantee that there would be no unexpected firefights.

Kasha was still smiling gently.

"You have a point, Rachel Encyclopedia. She didn't try to argue with anything, just walked to her seat and began to pack up her books, materials, and belongings. "But there are some things that I have to face. According to your logic, there will certainly be a number of people who will continue to stay in Redfarr, and among the people I know of are Josh, Namor, and Louisdon, who have explicitly accepted the protection of the Arcane forces. ”

"So, everyone else has started to do it, and of course you can too. Rachel stood up, his hands propped on the table, and glared at Kasha. "It's not a shame to protect your own lives from any kind of harm and leave a spark for future post-war reconstruction. ”

Kasha shook her head: "I'm different from Josh, if I don't go back, the honor of the family will be damaged." If I were just a normal person, there is a chance that I would choose to stay here, or even let my family stay here. But this is simply impossible, although I am only a descendant of a fallen knight, but I must also stand with honor and dignity at this time. In fact, I was ready to evacuate even after the air raid on Order Day was launched, and it was only now that I made up my mind. ”

After arguing further, Kaisha knew that he would continue to have an unhappy relationship with Rachel, and after cleaning up, he turned and left quickly.

"She's stupid, really!" Rachel cursed, frowning.

Catherine had barely finished preparing for the final task at this time, and she had not spoken since then. Unlike the change she's been trying to fit into, Catherine seems to be back to the way she started.

"She did a great job and I admire her. After thinking about it, Catherly decided to speak his mind. "Although the nature of the term knight has changed somewhat on the side of the Demon Dynasty, which may have caused some of my perceptions to be mistaken with yours, I think Kasha is right. ”

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

In the middle of the ice castle far away, it has already begun to snow due to its location.

Outside, there was a howling wind, mixed with rapidly falling snowflakes, which quickly formed a pile on the ground.

Bounded by the meridian where the northern gate of the ice castle is located, there are arcanists and magic troops stationed on both sides of the vast cold plain. This antagonism has been the norm since the day of order, and everyone in the Ice Castle suspects that one morning they will be woken up by a loud roar of spells and find that their city has become a battlefield.

The people in the Ice Castle don't want to do business anymore.

In times of peace, caravans traveling between the north and the south would bring goods from the warmer regions to the ice castles, which were relatively poor in the cold of winter. This will make them huge profits, and the temperature of their hearts will become very hot from the weather. But this year, until the beginning of winter, not a single caravan was to be seen.

Damn it, aren't all merchants supposed to be profit-seeking?! If we continue to procrastinate any further, I am afraid that the whole city will go into the fear of famine first.

Sheriff Patrick Jones could feel the daunting atmosphere, which was simply too low compared to the warm winter atmosphere of two months ago.

"Sheriff Patrick, good morning. ”

"Good morning, Mr. Sheriff. ”

Patrick enjoyed a good reputation among these residents because of his usual strict style, but today he had no intention of responding to these enthusiastic requests.

Her wife had been to Redfarr on Order Day and had witnessed the air raid firsthand. After returning here, he brought news of his daughter, whom he had not seen for a long time.

Patrick's memories of his daughter are still stuck in the days when he sent her to Redfarr a year and a half ago. At that time, my daughter was still a little young, and at the age of seventeen, she looked a little thin.

But according to his wife, her daughter has grown up a lot, and although her original serious and persistent personality has not changed, she has become lively: "She has made a lot of good friends over there, and I have seen one of them. The girl was very smart and had an active personality, which was just right to complement her daughter. It's also good that after receiving the influence of her friends, she gradually learned to open her heart. ”

I really don't want her back...... Honor, dignity? Of course it's important...... But if the infamy will keep her safe, it would be nice to let me be infamy for not following the virtues of knighthood.

Patrick clenched his fist.

At the end of today's patrol, I had to go back to my house and write down my thoughts and send them to Redfarr.

"Mr. Sheriff, do you know that the Duchy has issued a summoning order?" At this moment, Patrick, who had arrived at the bulletin board outside the tavern, heard someone calling out to him.

The tavern was his usual place to go, and despite the knight's demands of self-discipline and honor, the occasional drink was one of the few pleasures of the strict Patrick.

"Summoning order?" Patrick knew, of course, that it was the Duchy's call for the speedy return of the inhabitants to strengthen their defenses.

However, the voice of the person who spoke to him was somewhat familiar.

It was a gentle, beautiful female voice with a playful tone.

"It's you......" Patrick, turning his head, spotted a brown-haired girl with turquoise eyes, now wearing a thick winter coat covering her body. "Kasha?"

"Of course it's me, Mr. Sheriff Patrick, my father. ”
