"Yeonna... Afra... I think there will always be a solution to things, I haven't been drinking and having fun every day lately, and I'm always thinking about it, the price of hiring Bazel and his mercenary troops is very high, and the size of the Starry Night Knights' army is constantly expanding, and the Black Prince's wealth will not only be ordinary local taxes and trade income. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Seeing that Izzy was gradually sobering up, Yeona and Afra looked at each other and smiled.

Afra suddenly thought of something, and she stepped up to Izzy, "By the way, Izzy, didn't you say that Bazel told you something before he died?"

"Damn, who the hell is this Bazel?" Izzy lowered his head and shook his newly sober mind from side to side, Yanna picked up a cup of hot water from the table and handed it over, "We have too many questions before, Izzy, let's go to the northern realm, there is no need for Bazel to continue to harm you after death" Izzy took the hot water and nodded, he looked at Yanna's face with a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time and fell silent again, he felt that he owed Yanna a lot, it was he who involved Yanna in wars and dangers.

At dawn the next day, before the people of Prado had woken up from their sleep, Izzy sent his soldiers to gather all the officers in the city, and they all came to the council chamber of Prado and took their seats. It's a council chamber, but it's a converted restaurant, and Izzy thinks that this huge restaurant is indeed a bit extravagant, so it might as well be used for something else. As soon as Cedric sat down, he yawned heavily.

"It's too early" Seeing Cedric's appearance, Kelly next to her snickered "Cedric, what were you busy with last night, you haven't slept enough" Cedric turned his head to look at Kelly, now Kelly in Izzy's camp is not as murderous as she was on the battlefield before, the smile on her face seems to be like a blooming white orchid, and the fragrant breath surrounds her, Cedric can't help but sigh "I want to be busy, but I don't have a chance, I don't know if our Lord Izzy didn't sleep after being busy last night or what, why did he get up so early today" 。

"Cedric, shut up for me" Izzy glared at Cedric fiercely, but Cedric had long been used to it, he leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes to recuperate, "Today, I want to discuss one thing with you, now there is no war north of the Ten Thousand Souls River, the east to the Star Strait, and the west to the Rose Swamp have all been divided into the boundaries of our army, but only the northern realm has not yet been explored. So I want to deploy an expedition to the northern realm."

Before Izzy finished speaking, Tiara suddenly stood up, "Izzy, you are crazy, your previous disarmament has left little of the army, and now what capital do we have to go on an expedition" After Tiara finished speaking, Faens also raised his hand in agreement "I agree with Tiara's idea, now most of the territory in the northern realm is occupied by giants, and the situation there is even more complicated, and there is bound to be a fierce battle when our army expeditions there, with the strength of our army...".

Before Faense finished speaking, Izzy hurriedly waved his hand and smiled, "I know the current strength of the Dawn Crusade, so I don't plan to organize a large army to go out, this time the people on the expedition are more like an adventure party, so I want you to treat it as a trip or adventure."

As soon as Izzy finished speaking, everyone was puzzled, only Yanna still maintained that goddess-like pure smile, Izzy slowly continued, "This time to the northern realm, Tiara, Faenns, Cedric, Kelly and Afra, you will go with me" At this time, Tiara interrupted Izzy's words and hurriedly asked, "Let's all go, then who will guard this place, and what is the purpose of this time?"

"The Queen will be guarding the Prado, I already sent a message to Agni yesterday, and Agni-sama believes that he will be here soon..."Before Izzy finished speaking, Yanna stood up and put her hand on Izzy's shoulder, "I'll go with you this time" Izzy just wanted to stop it, but saw Yanna's unwavering gaze, and swallowed back the words that had already reached his mouth.

"Okay, we will all go on an expedition with the Queen, the purpose of this expedition is only to reconnoiter the situation in the northern realm, to see if there is a chance for our army to break through the restrictions, the meeting is over, please all go back and sort it out, we will gather at the city gate at noon" Everyone in the council hall retreated one after another when they heard this, and Afra, who walked out last, closed the door by the way, leaving only Ichiyana and the two in the house at this time.

"Yeonna, you shouldn't go, I don't want you to put you in danger, you know I can't lose you. "I can't lose you either, I miss the days we used to be together, when you saved me, no matter what, I would be by your side and watch you fight......" Yanna said as she stood by a windowsill with her back to Izzy, her hands clenched tightly, and she continued, "I never thought you had so much experience, you were so calm and composed, and you were resilient through all the stories, but when I sat in the position of queen and heard everything about your past, I found myself getting farther and farther away from you. Her voice was soft and slow, and it reached Izzy's heart.

Izzy came behind Yanna and was about to speak, Yanna hurriedly turned around and covered Izzy's mouth, slowly stroking the scar, "I never thought that things would make all this complicated, it was because of me that Sapro had this war, and because of me, Master Bai Ling, passed away." As she spoke, Yanna's voice suddenly choked up, and tears dripped from the moist corners of her eyes, and Izzy slowly hugged Yanna when she saw this.

"Yeonna, I won't leave you, everything won't change because of you, this is the natural direction of things, as long as we defeat the Black Prince, I will find our happiness with you" "But I don't want to defeat anything, I just want you, I don't want to leave you again!" Yanna cried excitedly in Izzy's arms, Izzy gently stroked her jet-black hair, his eyes as thin as willow leaves gradually softened "But people need us..."

At noon, everyone packed up and went to the city gate to wait for Izzy and Yeonna. I saw that Kelly had changed into the outfit of a wilderness mercenary, and the set of leather light armor on her body had also been replaced by black armor, and under the skirt made of black scales, the pair of tall and slender legs were still wearing black boots, except for the chic eye-blocking on her forehead, the rest of her hair was also coiled high.

"Yo, Kelly, why is this dressed, whose armor is this? Kelly couldn't help but laugh as Cedric walked over, because Cedric's appearance was hilarious. "Cedric, isn't this just to match you, but this armor is my own, I haven't worn it for a long time, so it feels a little tight now. Kelly tugged on both sides of her shoulders as she spoke, and Cedric said, "Because you met me, this figure must at least grow a little for me." "You...!" After a while, Izzy and Yanna walked over to the crowd, Izzy looked around and nodded to the crowd, and waved his hand "Let's go!".

"Lord Nivandon, have you heard?Izzy is going on an expedition to the northern realm" Kassalon hurried into the half-built Celestial Spirit Hall in Silver Spirit City with the news, where Nivadon was personally directing the workers to work" Well, I know" Kassandrad was about to continue speaking, but was interrupted by a gesture from Nivandon.

"Kassalond, go and bring them that box of food and water" "Thank you, sir... Thank you, sir" "Okay, let's rest for a while" Kassanrad grabbed a box full of food and walked over, and the workers all gathered around, although usually the workers would eat and rest by themselves after work, but Nivendon was also a big man, and everyone felt that they should thank him for saying this.

"Kassalon, come with me" "En" Nivendon walked forward with his hands behind his back, and Kassandrad followed closely behind him. "Hey, do you see, that woman is a Holy Knight. "yes, it's so beautiful. "Don't underestimate her, she's amazing, it's said that she has lived for hundreds of years. Kassalon heard the workers behind her gossiping about her, but she ignored it and just followed Nevendon with a twitch of her mouth, she usually didn't want to come among the civilians, because her status as a holy knight was a focus wherever she went.

"Lord Nivandon, I think Izzy has already set off, what should we do?" "Izzy set off, the troops were not brought, the army was still in Prado to obey the arrangement of the fire, we only have a few hundred cold light guards, what can we do? Forget it, Izzy will not simply leave, will definitely guard against me, let them play by themselves" "Yes, my lord".

After walking for a while, Nivendon suddenly stopped, "Kassalond, ask you something" "What's the matter, my lord" "Apocalypse Alliance, do you still have any impressions?" "What is that?" Kassandrad looked at Nivedon with a puzzled expression.

"The Apocalypse Alliance is the lifeblood of Sapro's economy, and I have dealt with them a long time ago, and in my eyes they are a bunch of misers, threatening everyone with money. But they disappeared after the outbreak of the civil war, how can they be contacted. ”

Kassalonad shook his head silently, although he may have been in contact with them before, he couldn't remember anything now. "The Apocalypse Alliance?" "Well, they were founded before the Black Spirit War, because Rex was afraid of his descendants or future kings regardless of the lives of the people, and all caravans, chambers of commerce, and all kinds of trade had to hand over a certain amount of money to them, so that as long as there were natural disasters and man-made disasters, the Apocalypse would come forward to give important support."

"It seems that this kind of organization is a good plan" Hearing Kassalonad's words, Nivendon sighed and shook his head, "But later, the world is changing, people are also changing, and the Apocalypse has secretly done a lot of shady things with various lords and even kings for their own survival, status and interests. As soon as Nivendon finished speaking, Kassalon nodded thoughtfully.

"My lord, you said that you have dealt with them before" "yes, don't mention it, anyway, you remember, they are not a bunch of good things. Nivandon said this, and Kassalon didn't ask much when he saw this.

A few short days passed, and Izzy and the others made their way north, and they were about to reach the northern realm, and the optimistic nature of Cedric and Kelly added a lot of fun to the expedition, as Izzy said it was more like a journey.

"Cedric, tell us how to cross the single-plank bridge during the decisive battle on the plains. "Yes, Cedric" Cedric scratched his unkempt hair and raised his own smile at the commotion of the crowd.

"Hehe, thanks to Kelly that day, I led the troops all the way forward, and suddenly encountered her ambush, you will not think of what kind of desperate situation it is, the road ahead is a big pit, which is full of wooden stakes, fire on all sides, and you can't get out, fortunately I am smart, I did not hurry and ordered the soldiers to cut down the trees that did not burn to make a bridge, and then I hid" Cedric said while making exaggerated gestures, Kelly snorted angrily when she heard it.

"Don't be smart, Cedric, that's the opportunity I left for you, or I'll burn you that day. Cedric ignored her, and continued to say proudly, "I rushed out of the line of fire with the troops, and I guessed that this lady would not go far, so I chased after the troops without saying a word, and guess what? This stupid girl was leading a dozen mercenaries to rest, and I copied her from behind and grabbed her." As soon as Cedric finished speaking, the people around him immediately burst into laughter, only Kelly blushed embarrassedly, "You go to death, I should have killed you first that day."

"Look there is a village ahead," Afra shifted the subject and pointed forward, and everyone looked in the direction Afra was pointing, and saw a small village in the distance, which seemed to have just been built, and the people there were still building houses from a distance.

As soon as they arrived at the village, several villagers who were working immediately put down their work, "Who are you?" Yanna was about to answer, but Izzy stepped forward and reached out to stop her, "Oh, we are travelers, we are going to the northern realm, now it is almost dark, I don't know if there is a place to live here?" The villagers who questioned them looked Izzy up and down in detail, and suddenly smiled, "Hehe, the third house in front is the tavern, but the northern realm is not easy to go to now."

"What's wrong" Yanna hurriedly stepped forward and asked, the villager sighed and threw the shovel in his hand on the ground, "Originally, we lived in Nalan Village in the Northern Realm, and Nalan Village is located at the entrance of the Northern Realm, where it is far away from the giants and can also rely on the snow stone in the iceberg, and it has been fine. But a few months ago, out of nowhere, a beautiful lady came out of nowhere, claiming to be an astrologer who declared herself to liberate the northern realm. As soon as she entered the northern realm, there was immediately a war there, and slowly the war spread to us, and now we are in ruins, and we have to flee and rebuild our homes, I advise you not to go, the giants and mercenaries there are not easy to mess with."

Izzy smiled, took out two silver coins from his body and threw them to the villagers, "Thank you." The group followed him into the village, talking and laughing.

As soon as Izzy and the others entered the tavern, the originally lively tavern suddenly became quiet, and the villagers saw that Izzy and his party were wearing armor and weapons, and they all checked out and walked out. Everyone randomly found a few seats and sat down one after another, and then the boss came out from behind the bar, "What do you need?"

Izzy smiled at the boss, "Don't bother, just grab some food and drinks" "Okay" The boss is an elderly man, he bent down and went back to the bar to take out some food, and called a helper to bring Izzy a few barrels of ale. The boss carefully put the food in front of everyone, and smiled kindly at everyone, "Young man, where are you going?"

As soon as the words fell, Cedric on the side stood up and supported the boss, "Boss, you don't care about us, we'll give you the money together when we leave." "Oh, hehe, okay, just call me anything. The boss smiled awkwardly and returned to the bar. After the boss left, Yanna patted Izzy gently, "Izzy, do you know who the astrologer is?" "I don't know" At this time, Tiara, who was sitting opposite, said, "Only the previous arcane academy has astrologer positions, and they are generally relatively high-level arcane magicians."

"It seems that the situation in the Northern Realm is really complicated," Izzy sank his head thoughtfully. Cedric got up and brought the barrel to the table, and filled everyone's glasses one by one, "This arcane academy has long been breached, and she uses this title to deceive people." Hearing Cedric's words, Afra hurriedly asked, "What is the purpose of that?" "I think this person may want to use the name of the Mystic Academy to become independent here." Faennes, who hadn't spoken much along the way, took the glass from Cedric and took a deep sip.

"The Northern Realm can be said to be the most chaotic place in Sapro, especially after the giants are not governed, this woman may be planning some kind of conspiracy, maybe it is the plan of the Black Prince, what do you think, Izzy" "Well, look quietly, this person is either a friend or an enemy, and he must be dealt with first" Izzy said, his eyes gradually darkened, he had already thought of who this beautiful woman would be.

At this moment, the glass that Cedric handed to Kelly accidentally fell, and the malt in the glass was instantly sprinkled on her folded legs. Cedric hurriedly said sorry as he wiped the wine he had spilled on her lap with his hand. He couldn't help but laugh evilly, which immediately alerted Kelly, who waved his hand and gave him a heavy mouth, and everyone burst into laughter.

In the evening, after Izzy and the others had eaten and drunk, they went upstairs under the guidance of the boss, and the men and women rested in two separate rooms. The boss gently closed the door and walked downstairs, when a dark figure suddenly appeared, grabbed the boss's arm, and led the boss to the hall, only to see four or five people dressed in villagers gathered here.

"Old man, is the arrangement finished?" the boss gasped and replied, "Well, well" "I see that this group of people is either mercenaries or robbers, and they were bullied by these mercenaries in Nalan Village before, so why don't we kill them tonight and divide the money" "Well, well" After saying this, everyone immediately nodded in agreement, and then the boss hurriedly waved his hand, "You can't kill people indiscriminately, you can scare and scare them, and you can't figure out who it is?" The boss trembled and stopped everyone, and then one person stood up and pushed down the boss.

"Tell your old man, don't stop us, you see their armor and weapons are not mercenaries, they used to bully us, today don't let them run away. After saying that, several people pulled out the knives hidden on their bodies and tiptoed up the stairs.

"Hey, how do you do it?" "Kill the man's house first" "En" A few people came to the door, shook the machete in their hands, and prepared to rush in. Although these villagers had been prepared, they were still in a cold sweat in the face of Izzy and the others, and at this time, the tall man standing at the door nodded vigorously to the people behind him, turned around and opened the door and rushed into the house, only to see that Izzy and the others were still sleeping, snoring loudly.

A man slowly walked towards the sleeping Izzy, who had just raised the tattered machete, when suddenly, Izzy's eyes widened, and he quickly pulled out the long knife from his side, and swept it away like lightning.

Izzy is always armed when he's out and about. Suddenly, blood gushed down his throat, the man wanted to speak but couldn't make a sound, his eyes stared at Izzy in horror, and he gradually fell to his knees, and the few people who had just come in behind him didn't understand what was going on, and beckoned to the fallen man, "What's wrong?"

At this moment, Izzy suddenly got out of bed and kicked the man in front of him, his long knife in his hand, his eyes blood-red. Several people were stunned for a moment, their bodies couldn't help trembling slightly, and only the sound of blood spurting from the throat of the corpse was heard in the room, "Fight with him!" The man at the head raised the machete, howled and rushed towards Izzy, who was unhurried and slashed the machete away. The machete flew to Cedric's bed impartially, slashing deep into the head of the bed, and Cedric, who was awakened, hurriedly got up, turned over and pulled out his double knives and ran over.

Seeing this, the two people in the back slashed at Izzy like crazy, only to see Faennes, who had already woken up on the side, raised his leg and kicked the two of them down together, and then the person who had just been knocked away in front of Izzy came to his senses and hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Spare your life, spare your life."

The man was almost crying, when Faense snorted heavily with his sword in his hand, and slashed the begger to the ground. "Faenns, no need" "Izzy, these people may be the Black Prince's spies, I can't let them go back" Before the words fell, Faennes slashed two swords again and slashed the two people who had just been kicked down by himself.

Then Faennes walked out of the house with a sword in one hand, an empty sleeve fluttering behind him. Cedric kicked the corpse next to Izzy with his foot, "I guess they are worried about our belongings, and Faense is too impulsive to ask what's going on?" As soon as Cedric finished speaking, Izzy suddenly became nervous, and said "It's not good, stop Faennes!" (To be continued.) )
