It was at this time that Xu Nan suddenly noticed that the carriage he was in was actually driving on a thin suspension bridge!

There is no snow on the drawbridge, and there is a deep ravine on either side that connects to the interior of the Lookout Fortress.

At the other end of the drawbridge is the Rising Castle, an ancient structure that climbs along a complex hill to form a spectacular castle interior.

According to the map in Xu Nan's hand, this should be the inner city of the castle where Evelyn lives.

The coachman seemed to be in a strange state, and he was just constantly driving the carriage mechanically.

Xu Nan didn't see anyone on the road.

Except for the sneaky figure that flashed in the snow before!

As soon as he thought of this, he hurriedly opened the super-spiritual vision, and through the fluctuation of emotions, locked the erratic shadow!

In all fairness, Xu Nan's ability as an apostle of desire is not very much, and the ability of the Transcendent Vision Realm is probably the ability he uses the most, so his proficiency is very high.

Rao is like this, and he can only hurriedly lock on to a vague shadow.

The speed of the shadow was amazing.

It was originally just on the other side of the ravine, suddenly skimming over the snow-covered snow, and when it sprinted to the vicinity of the cliff, a terrifying explosive force pushed it to leap high, almost level with Xu Nan's carriage!

But the ravine was too far away, and with the shocking jumping ability of that shadow, it could only jump half of it at most.

"Is it going to perform cliff jumping?"

Xu Nan noticed something, and his mood relaxed a little, but he also looked at the shadow and wondered.

In the next breath, the shadow seemed to have sensed something, glanced back at Xu Nan, shook his right arm, and a delicate hook claw suddenly shot out, and it was extremely accurate between a rock crevice on the opposite side of the ravine, and it was very tightly stuck.

Sou!

The hook claw retracted, and the powerful pull dragged the nimble shadow directly over the ravine, and easily reached the cliff on the other side - for ordinary people, such a situation may still be terrifying.

After all, Xu Nan really saw that the cliff was basically ninety degrees down, and there was occasional broken ice on it, which was extremely smooth.

Even the most powerful wanderer would not dare to have the conceit to walk on such a cliff.

But this shadow is clearly prepared.

It clinged to the frozen cliff with great dexterity, and the boots under its feet emitted a faint green glow, and then it ran up the cliff in a 90-degree manner, as if it were walking on the ground!

In the blink of an eye, the shadow was gone.

Xu Nan was left alone, sitting on the cold carriage of machinery, looking at the road ahead, thoughtful.

"Snowwalker Boots? Or is it a transcendent foot? ”

"Such precious magical equipment, a rich wanderer."

"This back is so familiar, I seem to have seen it outside the city before; No, this familiar feeling seems to be a bit impressive because of the posture of using the cornices to walk on the wall......"

He frowned.

Everything seemed so wrong.

The state of the coachman, the slumber of the Grey Tower's administrator, and the empty road.

He didn't see any normal creatures except for the wanderer who had just walked off the wall.

"The landing point of that person just now is probably a certain garrison corner in the inner city."

"It's hard for even a powerful professional to be aware that someone can sneak in through a hook and magic boots in this corner."

"Its destination must be some high-level inside the Lookout Keep, maybe Evelyn, what does it want to do? Assassination? ”

Xu Nan calmly analyzed, and at the same time used more than three detection props to try to decipher the reason why the carriage fell into a strange state.

He didn't dare to act rashly, because the strength of the other party was unknown, and it might be a powerful spellcaster!

Although his previous attention was attracted by the gossip of the Ice Wind Leader, if he could almost completely conceal his perception, then no matter what spells and techniques he had, he should not be underestimated.

Even if he didn't have such a high bloodline immunity ability, then his current state would probably be similar to that of a coachman and a gray tower administrator.

It's a pity that these goods that Xu Nan hoarded at a high price from Paradise Lost on weekdays didn't help him much.

In the end, the carriage stiffly drove across the drawbridge and into the inner city, Xu Nan didn't see any guards on duty, and the muddy old horse just moved forward, slowly walking around the streets of the inner city.

Suddenly, the scenery in front of the carriage changed.

They were in front of the drawbridge again!

Only this time, some human breath was evident all around.

"Stop!"

"Please show your pass!"

A guard shivering from the cold in heavy armor shouted.

The coachman woke up at some point and quickly handed over the papers.

Xu Nan glanced at the car, Follett, who was still groggy just now, was holding a volume of law-related books at this time, reading it with relish, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

Xu Nan didn't say anything, but closed the curtain casually, yawned, and pretended to close his eyes to recuperate.

"It's back to normal...... So, you've just entered a makeshift bionic enchantment? ”

"There should be no harm in this kind of bionic enchantment, because only in this way can the possibility of being detected by others be minimized; It's also possible that someone is tempting something; Or is it covering something? ”

If it was the last speculation, Xu Nan would almost certainly be that the spellcaster behind this scene was covering the wanderer to infiltrate the inner city of the castle. I just accidentally broke into the bionic enchantment, and at the same time accidentally noticed it.

It seems that there are more unstable factors in the land of Ice Wind Territory than Xu Nan imagined.

Evelyn, the fourth princess of the kingdom, is also facing much more pressure than Xu Nan, who has Paradise Lost and Stephen Sand's heavy legs.

After the documents were checked, the carriage quickly went up, following the route Xu Nan had just taken, and entered the slightly more prosperous inner city.

It's just that when he came just now, there was no one in the four places; And now, although it is not a big crowd, it can be regarded as having some popularity.

A few children are building snowmen on the street with red faces, and the shops along the street are lit with bonfires, and most of the shops are only half open due to the bitter cold, and only open the small doors next to them if customers come.

Soon, the carriage stopped.

Someone was already waiting here, leading Xu Nan into the control area, bypassing the complicated roads, and finally arriving at an open reception room.

The mountains here are very high, and you can overlook the entire ravine that Xu Nan passed just now.

In a sense, this ravine is also the moat of the inner city.

"Please wait."

"Her Royal Highness the princess ordered me to express my sincere apologies to you, she has some things that she can't get out of and still needs to deal with for the time being."

The etiquette of the great butler Jean is impeccable.

Xu Nan nodded, sat by the window and waited quietly.

The flames in the fireplace were blazing, and a young maid had already brought fresh fruit, wine, and some local snacks, Xu Nan pretended to be reserved and tasted them, and then accidentally ate them all.

Ahem, no way, I didn't expect the taste to be really good.

The maid next to her was a little stunned, looking at the empty fruit bowl in a daze, probably never seeing a guest with such a good appetite.

Or another maid had the eyesight, walked over quickly, with a smile, silently cleaned up the plate, and then went to the kitchen to bring some fruit plates, but this time, there were no snacks.

"Evelyn, the lord, is simply a poor livelihood!"

Xu Nan was a little dissatisfied in his heart.

Even snacks are not enough for guests to eat, which shows the low productivity! The maids are so stingy, and Evelyn's usual slamming of the door can also be seen.

However, complaining in his heart did not prevent him from continuing to eat some fruit.

After a while, the fruit bowl bottomed out again, but Evelyn was still nowhere to be seen.

Xu Nan became suspicious.

The two of them chatted energetically before, and they didn't see anything wrong with Evelyn.

What government affairs does Evelyn need to deal with this winter? What could be more important than minting?

Xu Nan didn't believe it.

He began to observe everyone in the living room.

They looked like they were frozen and malnourished all year round, and any ice plain person in Xu Nan's territory was estimated to be better off than them.

He began to think about some of the acquaintances who should have lived in the Icewind Realm.

"I heard that Changfeng Qi and Changfeng Tuo are both in this castle, I wonder if I will bump into these two brothers today?"

"Forget it, Sister Song Ying, if she asks me about Song Xiaocheng's situation at this time, I don't know what to say."

Just as he was thinking, a brisk footstep came from outside the door.

Evelyn was finally overdue.

Although it was a harsh winter, she was still wearing a slender dress, the light blue skirt seemed to be a little whitish due to repeated scrubbing, but the fine and delicate needlework still revealed a tough and dignified beauty.

Today's Fourth Princess is a little different from the past.

It seems that because this is the first official meeting between the two parties, she wears a lot of makeup, although this does not affect her beauty, but Xu Nan always feels weird when she looks at it.

After all, he is a young man of the new century who has experienced the baptism of the three major evil arts in Asia, and it seems that the makeup skills of the other world still need to be developed and improved.

Evelyn apologized as soon as she opened her mouth, saying that because a certain village was attacked by a demon, she had to personally judge the seriousness of the matter, so she delayed the conversation with Xu Nan.

Of course, Xu Nan would not be angry because of this little thing.

The two politely exchanged words, and soon became acquainted.

After all, it was a netizen who had met and had been friends for a long time, and the atmosphere of the conversation quickly became harmonious, and when it was almost time, Xu Nan coughed:

"Since we have determined and reached an agreement in the general direction, I don't know much about the details, and I hope that my clerk will negotiate on our behalf, and his will represents the will of Anonymous City and Wildfire City."

Evelyn also understands very well, in fact, she doesn't want to talk nonsense with Xu Nan on the details of negotiations, after all, talking about money hurts feelings! In terms of coinage, the Ice Wind Collar and the Anonymous City have a high degree of consistent interests, and what needs to be carefully finalized is nothing more than some details, to put it bluntly, it is the proportion of spoils or something!

This kind of thing, it is not appropriate for the boss to talk directly, let the people under him negotiate vigorously, even if it is noisy for three days and three nights, it doesn't matter, anyway, it won't tear the skin; It's really stiff, it's a big deal to change to another person to continue talking.

Therefore, she was also prepared and smiled:

"The representative of the Ice Wind Collar in this regard is my Chief Financial Officer......"

Grey Tower's administrator, Follett, and the old man in a thick winter coat looked at each other and saluted each other politely, and then the two of them left the place in a tacit understanding, and ran to a small conference room next door for real negotiations.

The maids also quietly retreated, and soon, in the living room, it seemed that only Xu Nan and Evelyn were left.

By this time, the atmosphere had become somewhat silent.

Xu Nan was thinking about the shadow and his previous experience, and he was hesitating whether to ask Evelyn directly about his discovery; And Evelyn seems to have something on her mind.

The two sat in a daze for a while, but Evelyn came back to her senses and took the initiative to break the embarrassment:

"This parlor isn't very breathable, why don't we go up there?"

"I haven't been to the garden in a long time."

Garden, there is a garden in this icy snow?

Xu Nan was stunned for a moment, but soon he took into account Evelyn's profession, well, the words of the Fa Ye are not impossible.

He certainly had no reason to refuse.

The two left the living room, and under the personal guidance of Evelyn, Xu Nan briefly visited some objects with ancient history in the City Lord's Mansion.

I have to say that Evelyn chose the Ice Wind Collar, and historical relics definitely occupy a huge factor.

Located in the heart of the inner city of the Lookout Fortress, the Lord's Mansion is the highest in the world, and its contents are all preserved from the time of Caesar's Empire, and are carefully maintained by the people of Kutlin.

From the remnants of these scaly claws, Xu Nan can also get a glimpse of the strength of the Caesar Empire at the beginning - it may not be comparable to the cosmic-level civilization of the Arcane Empire, but it is also the peak era that the aboriginal humans of the Northern Continent can reach.

Bypassing a remote staircase, Xu Nan followed Evelyn to the foot of an inconspicuous tower.

Evelyn smiled and pushed open the side door of the tower, Xu Nan followed in curiously, only to find a black one.

After a while, Evelyn gently rubbed her little and thumb together and lit a magic lamp.

Suddenly, a high-spirited spring came to the face.

A strong sun shines overhead, as if in the hot summer, climbing vines hang down, obediently and automatically rotate and twist, turning into quite personalized seats.

At Evelyn's suggestion, Xu Nan sat on a chair woven of climbing vines, and slowly climbed to the top of the tower under a wonderful force.

Along the way, he passed many floors.

Each floor is planted with a variety of plants.

"At the bottom are the three bushes of the moon season and the half-blood vine, and there are some iron-faced trees, but there are not many, they are all small ones that are difficult to feed......"

"These layers are treasures I dug up from my teacher's garden, and the purple flower beds over there are one of the main ingredients of the vegetarian cabbage, the numbing potion; The brown shrub is the Imperial Grove, which is good for practicing arcane; There are also some jumping grass and bingus leaves, but you can't see them now, they're hibernating......"

"There are also ordinary plants, but they wither quickly, although they have the blessing of greenhouse spells, they have never been able to compete with magic plants, which is a pity."

"Ah, these water condensations were given to me by my father when I first embarked on the path of a spellcaster, and he planted them for me with his own hands, saying that when I grow up, I will need them when I am promoted to a legendary archmage......"

Evelyn whispered, the sparkle in her eyes getting stronger and stronger, and the haze seemed to be swept away.

This tower, which is constant with an unknown number of spells, is simply a large garden of potions.

There were at least fifty rare potions cultivated here, of which more than forty were indistinguishable from their effects, and the remaining ten were unheard of at all!

But in Evelyn's eyes, these potions, which are more or less threatening, are the loveliest creatures.

She seemed to regard them as her own children, and introduced them to Xu Nan like a few treasures.

It can be seen that she is the happiest and most carefree state in the Potions Garden.

It seems that in this small world, the cumbersome affairs of the outside world can no longer affect her.

She is no longer the fourth princess of the Eastern Kingdom, the only bloodline of the Caesar Empire, and the lord of the Ice Wind Lord.

She's just a mage obsessed with potions.

This attitude made Xu Nan feel a little emotional.

He listened quietly to Evelyn's words, and as the vines climbed, they soon reached the top floor.

At this time, Xu Nan realized that this place had exceeded the height of the tower, and it was actually the canopy of the towering plant!

He stood on the edge of the canopy and looked out over the entire Lookout Fortress!

There was a small room in the canopy, and Evelyn opened the door, took out two vacant chairs from it, and the two of them sat down leisurely.

Because of the magical protection, the wind cannot blow in, but the sunlight can penetrate the thick dark clouds and reach the layers under the canopy, adding energy to these magical plants.

"I didn't expect you to have such deep insight and practice in Potions."

This is Xu Nan's praise from the bottom of his heart.

As a Ron Warlock, a supposedly born alchemist, he was even a little ashamed.

After all, Potions is also the domain of alchemists, and in this regard, he was basically completely destroyed by Evelyn.

"I just love potions."

Evelyn tapped the climbing vine lightly, the back of her white hand and fingers vibrating in a peculiar rhythm, and in a moment a table spontaneously formed in the canopy, followed by two glasses and the wine inside.

Without further ado, she expertly picked up the glass and took a sip.

"With so many potions, it took a lot of effort to cultivate them, right?"

Xu Nan asked casually.

Evelyn nodded, "Yes, so I've been recruiting apprentices to help; But not long ago, one of my apprentices had something to do, and I had to ask my maid to take care of it, and who knew that something had happened......"

Saying this, she smiled bitterly.

"Then I had to let her go home and rest, and then recruit a new maid in the Northlands."

"But this new maid is quite interesting, unlike anyone else I've ever met."

"She actually volunteered to help me take care of the potions......"

Evelyn said softly, "At first I thought she had a problem. ”

"And then?" Xu Nan asked.

"Later. She was also bitten by a man-eating flower, and she was no different from other ordinary people. Evelyn said helplessly: "But she is very strong, I would have liked to give her some vacation, but she insisted on continuing to work." ”

"Having said that, she should be taking care of the sheep wood on the second floor at this time, and when she first came up, she didn't seem to see a human figure."

Evelyn said casually.
