Night is approaching, and the mountains are getting farther and farther away.

On the second floor of the Viscount's Palace, on the wide balcony filled with the fragrance of flowers, Brady, dressed in a milky white mage robe, stood alone by the railing.

"It is up to man to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen. Everything has been arranged, and it is useless to think too much, so let's meditate and meditate in the next few days. ”

Thinking over the details of the plan again, Brady withdrew his stray gaze towards the distant wall, and then looked down at the palm of his left hand, where the small gift that Renard had entrusted to Scott lay quietly.

This is a sky-blue necklace, on which there is a sickle-shaped pendant about an inch long, the pendant is full of ice crystals and snow white, exuding bursts of calming cold breath.

"A miniature version of the Frost Scythe?" Brady looked puzzled, the shape of the pendant was exactly the same as Reynard's weapon, "Uh-huh, no, this material...... It's the solidified ice element! Solidify the element and make it condense without dispersing, could it be that Daddy has touched that threshold?!"

Although he was shocked by the unexpected discovery, Brady quickly adjusted his mentality, "External forces can be borrowed, no matter how good the old man is, it is not a reason for himself to be proud and lazy, in this world where the law of the jungle is particularly clear, only one's own strength is the real foundation." ”

Putting on the necklace, pulling down the collar, putting the pendant in the innermost layer of his blouse, and looking up again at the walls of Cologne rising from the ground and looking taller and more majestic in the darkness, Brady turned and walked into the study.

"Shhhh

At night, an extremely suppressed cry of pain sounded softly in the room.

"256, that's an increase of 30 points?"

In the center of the bookcase, a hanging bronze mirror reflects Brady's incredible face.

Just now, when there was a crisp sound of "boom" in the sea of consciousness and the magic pool suddenly expanded more than twice, Brady knew that he had crossed the first hurdle on the road of magic, and was promoted from a low-level ice mage to an intermediate ice mage.

"The increase is so low?" The unexpected value made Brady go to the sea of knowledge again to search for the detection results just now, "Human, gender male, intermediate mage, low-level warrior, combat power 256, it is true that it has only increased by 30 points." It shouldn't be, if you use the ice spear technique with all your strength now, the power will be at least twice as strong as before, why is the combat power increased by less than one-fifth?"

Puzzled, an anime image wearing a battle detector flashed through his mind, and Brady thought of a possibility, "Or does this number just represent the overall level of the usual performance, and the size of this value will fluctuate during the battle?"

"If that's the case, wouldn't it be a disadvantage to encounter an enemy who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger?" Before the sudden thought could turn into trouble, Brady smiled heartily, "Seeing is not necessarily believing, how can you easily rely on this detection ability before testing?"

......

Time flies, and it has been seven days since Brady walked out of the Viscount's Mansion again.

The chariots, the horses, and the pedestrians, bows and arrows, are all at the waist. The grandmother and wife went to see each other, and the dust was not seen on the Cologne Bridge. Scott's news was accurate, and Elvis was indeed on a southward march today.

"Click, rustle, rustle, rustle......"

There were no neat and loud slogans, no shouts such as "long live" and "victory" along the way, only neat footsteps and horses' hooves, but under the leadership of Elvis, the majestic momentum displayed by this southern expeditionary army was even more awe-inspiring.

"All of them are above the third order, the fourth order accounts for one-third, and the fifth-order hundred-man regiment is as many as ten, tsk, Karthak's military reserves are really not to be underestimated. "On the top floor of the Belon Tavern, less than fifty meters away from the South City Gate, Brady, who stood by the window, had a panoramic view of the 30,000 Kartacnan Expeditionary Army from beginning to end.

This time, Brady learned to be obedient, and when the banner of the Southern Expeditionary Army came into view, the terrifying aura like a giant beast in the wilderness entered the range of perception, and he quickly shrugged down his eyelids, just looking at his nose and nose and heart, completely restraining the intention of detecting the outside world.

Three minutes later, when the suffocating feeling of depression had completely disappeared, Brady raised his head and watched the tall mountain back fade away with a gaze without a trace of emotion.

"Seventh-Order Peak?" Thinking of Nozlang's intelligence agency's evaluation of Elvis, Brady couldn't help but shake his head, "What's more, I'm afraid that the strength of this Southern Expedition General is not under that 'Taylor Martial God'." ”

A soldier for a day and a lifelong training, Brady's life experience as a scout in his previous life did not disappear with the crossing, but became a complete fusion of innate qualifications and soul. Therefore, even without using the detection skill, the mage's intuition and experience as a soldier still told Brady that the tingling sensation in the back was not something that a seventh-order professional could bring.

"It's the eighth order again...... Looking at the history books of Taylor, how could there have been so many talented people at one time? The emergence of many heroes, coupled with the unpredictable situation on the mainland, is a harbinger of troubled times. Thinking of this, Brady's heart felt a sense of crisis and a sense of pride at the same time, "Ten years of recuperation, ten years of lying on the salary to taste the courage, the trauma of defeat has basically recovered, whether it is for the former shame of the alliance under the Snow City or the great cause of unifying Taylor, the Nozlang aristocracy led by Darius will definitely launch a crazy revenge on the other two countries." Great war is inevitable, and when the time comes, the world will be out of my generation-"

When Brady's heart was stirring and he was about to make a big wish, an untimely exclamation sounded at an inopportune time outside the house: "Andrea, you are here too!"

"Keith?" Brady's eyebrows furrowed at the familiar and disgusting voice, "Luck is bad, this can happen." It's just, Andrea, why is she here?"

"Hello, Lord Keith. A clear and crisp voice came into his ears, and Brady's brows quietly relaxed, and his eyes flickered slightly.

"Andrea, are you seeing off Marquis Elvis?...... Why don't you go to the next room, where the view is much better?" Keith's words made Brady's heart skip a beat, and a bad feeling suddenly rose.

"Someone. Andrea's answer was very concise and to the point, and there was a coldness in her tone.

"Hey, Andrea, come with me!" Ignoring the other person's indifference, Keith was still enthusiastic.

"Sure enough, it's not good to meet this guy. Shaking his head helplessly, Brady turned to face the door of the room, and three seconds later, with a loud "bang", Keith's fair side face came into view.

"Andrea, come over here, the people in this room say he's going to leave soon...... You say it's not you? Brady!
