"Great victory!"

"For Kislev, for Snowrock Castle, for Lord Deguel, cheers!"

After the siege was lifted, they were besieged by the greenskins for two and a half months, and the castle was almost breached twice, but fortunately, the soldiers left behind in the snow rock fort still had a certain combat effectiveness. With years of field experience, the castle was defended.

At this moment, the celebratory dinner is in full swing in the castle. The cups are staggered, so lively.

Rod and Caroline, as well as Edmund as guests and saviors, naturally received the highest standard. They sat with Lord Deguer, celebrating this long-lost victory, their own victory. Yes, no matter how brilliant the victory of Errengrad is, it doesn't really have much to do with them, the spoils of war are taken away by the queen, but the rewards are small, and the soldiers fight bloody battles on the front line, and in the end, only the woman who stands high on the frost throne will benefit.

And this Greenskin Battle is different, it is a war that really belongs to them. Defeat the Greenskins, protect the castle, and dispose of both prisoners of war and loot. The Ice Queen was too busy battling another army of greenskins to care about the situation. Or rather, even if you take care of it, you can't care about it - Snow Rock Fort is too remote.

"Cheers!"

"Brothers. ”

Deguer got up from his seat and made a quiet gesture. The crowd immediately fell silent and refocused their eyes on Deguer.

"Brothers, we have defeated a formidable opponent, and today is a glorious day, a great day, and a victory that belongs to all the people of Snowrock Castle. However, I would like to say that we must be grateful to one man, who risked his life to fight into the chaos and kill the Greenskinned leader, who put his troops on the front line and held off the attack of the most ferocious Greenskins. It was he, who was unknown after the war, and gave all the loot to Snow Rock Castle. Deguel paused, looking at Rhodes beside him.

This move surprised Rhodes a little, originally thought that among the lords of the northern realm, only Edmund, the lord of Ice Castle, had a general understanding and a qualified character. But today, it seems that the same is true of Deguer, the leader of Snow Rock Castle. He didn't ask for anything, but he took the initiative to attribute the merits to himself.

"This man is Count Rod Lawn, Lord of Blackhammer Castle. ”

Deeger exclaimed.

"Rhodes, Rhodes, Rhodes......"

The castle hall suddenly resounded with the shouts of the warriors of Snow Rock Castle.

Caroline on the side cast the same joyful and smiling gaze.

"Victory, this is a victory that belongs to us together. This victory was not easy to come by, if it was only I, Rod, I would definitely not be able to go alone, rush into the enemy formation, and kill the orc leader. It was your efforts, your desperate battles, that held back the Greenskins' army, and gave me the opportunity to kill the Greenskins. So, this is our common victory. We are a collective, we are brothers in blood, and this victory belongs to each of us. To all the brethren who shed their blood in the war. ”

Pulled onto the podium by Deguer without warning, Rhodes could only bite the bullet and give a speech. However, after all, this is someone else's territory, and Rod knows that Deguel is gracious, and he can't be anti-customer-oriented. It is necessary to hold a handful of the soldiers and officers of Snow Rock Fort who are present. You can't really admit that all the credit lies with you.

This turned out to be very effective, and there was no trace of anger written on the faces of those Snow Rock Fort warriors, on the contrary, there was only admiration and affirmation in their eyes.

"For Lord Rhodes!"

I don't know who in the crowd shouted, but the atmosphere was ignited again, and the officers raised their glasses and cheered loudly.

Browned eggs and butter-smeared bread are constantly served to the table, warm fireplaces bake the room, everyone's face reveals a warmth, hot blood swells in the rough skin, and all kinds of crude jokes are wantonly made under the stimulation of alcohol.

......

Dennis concentrated, controlling the magic circuit, and thick ice began to grow from her fingertips, and soon a shield was propped up. A second before the fireball smashed, the frost shield thickened to its strongest level, and in an instant, the blazing fireball shattered the moment it hit the ice shield, and the sparks erupted, however, Dennis, who was hiding behind the ice shield, did not suffer any damage.

"Wow, that's great, you're improving again. God, Dennis, you're simply the most gifted magician apprentice Kislev has ever had. ”

Daisy walked over and admired her friend with a lot of praise. In the same dormitory, although Dennis was the last to enter, he made the fastest progress. While the rest of the dorm room was still practicing ranged spells, Dennis was already practicing melee magic. According to the Mentor's words, a truly good wizard is not just hiding behind a human wall and casting long-range spells. Rather, like a battlefield officer, he personally fights and kills the enemy. Dennis remembers this phrase, however, she is still too young to engage in a real physical confrontation with an adult.

"The most gifted is Empress Caterina. ”

The great instructor who walked by the magic academy reminded in a low voice.

Dennis and Daisy hurriedly bowed their heads and said yes......

......

"Hey, did you hear that? In the basement of the academy, there are monsters infested ......"

On the way back to the dormitory, Dellis's other friend, Villanelle, walked over and the three of them walked side by side in the hallways of the Academy of Magic, discussing the strange things that had happened to the Academy of Magic recently.

Villanelle and Dennis are classmates and best friends, while Daisy is Dennis's roommate and Dennis's eldest sister in the dormitory. Therefore, the two became good friends through Dennis. The three of them study together at the Academy of Magic, and they explore and can be described as the best trio.

Unlike Daisy's steady personality, Villanelle is a little playful who is curious about everything. She was a little younger than Dennis, often wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, her pale yellow hair naturally curled down to her shoulders, and a small cherry mouth that was very cute. However, underneath the pure and sweet exterior, there is a heart that can never be satisfied, and she is very curious, so curious that she knows all kinds of strange things in the magic academy. The most powerful thing is that she also knows which places in the academy are forbidden places, which places are full of mysterious and strange phenomena, which tutors in the academy have their own secret laboratories, which tutors have their own habits, etc., if it weren't for the lack of magic, she would have entered these places to explore a long time ago.

Influenced by her, Dennis became curious about the college. Intellectual curiosity is a common trait in every child, but sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing. However, the young girls don't know this.

"What kind of monster?"

Dennis asked. Her gray eyes showed irrepressible curiosity. The same goes for Villanelle.

"I don't know very well, but it's said to be a monster that haunts the night, with fangs and claws, and glowing eyes. It is said that the strange noise coming from the basement is what it came from. ”

Villanell tilted her head sideways to observe, and only after no one was around did she cautiously tell Dennis and Daisy what she had seen. After all, the basement is also a forbidden place in the academy, and the tutors always ask the students to study what they need to learn seriously, and they never mention what they shouldn't know, and they don't allow students to explore the answers.
