What happened on the streets of Wintercastle seems to be just a vignette.

However, Sebas keenly sensed that after seeing Astrid's power, Marquis Vladimir was visibly distracted.

Sebas took in the change in the marquis's expression, and his smile remained unchanged.

It's just that he already has some judgments in his heart.

He heard the exclamation of the Marquis of Vladimir just now.

When he induces the faith of the young girl Astrid through spiritual resonance and helps the other party establish a connection with His Majesty the True Ancestor, he is the only one who shouts the word "Divine Favor".

He wouldn't be surprised if a cleric could recognize Astrid's state so quickly, but Marquis Vladimir was not a cleric, but just a mage of the Blazing Sun level.

Then, there is only one possibility.

"He had seen other 'Divine Favors', and he knew what the posture and aura of the 'Divine Favorables' looked like."

Sebas judged in his heart.

Combined with the identity of the Marquis of Vladimir, his relationship with Stefan Sobiesky, the Grand Duke of the North, and his various observations and temptations along the way, Sebas soon had further guesses:

"It seems...... If the Grand Duke of the North wants to unify his faith, it is not as simple as integrating the forces in the northern territory......"

"Sir Sebas, here we are."

The voice of the Marquis of Vladimir interrupted Sebas's thoughts.

Along the way, the team finally arrived at the residence of the Grand Duke of the North, the Winter Palace.

Sebas suppressed his thoughts and said with a smile:

"Your Excellency Marquis, thank you for escorting."

Marquis Vladimir also smiled:

"That's right, brother is waiting for you in the palace, please come with me to meet you."

Sebas nodded and followed the Marquis of Vladimir into the castle.

At the same time, a certain guess in his mind was even stronger.

He came with Lottie.

It stands to reason that Lottie, as a priest, is the main force of the "mission".

However...... The Marquis of Vladimir, however, only mentions him, and does not mention Lotty.

Like the royal palaces of the Yonet nations, the winter palaces of the Grand Dukes of the North were just as lavish.

The castle palace is clearly borrowed from the style of the Yunette countries, especially the Crescent Kingdom, which is very similar to the decoration of the Crescent Kingdom.

After entering the palace, Sebas finally met the ruler of the North, the Grand Duke of the North, Stefan Sobiesky.

Stefan Sobieski was a young man who looked to be about thirty years old.

Although the young ruler has not yet stepped into the legend, his momentum is already unfathomable, much beyond the ordinary blazing sun.

He had a beard, a strong body, and a sharp gaze like a sword unsheathed.

After seeing Sebas, he laughed loudly, and his voice was like thunder:

"Hahaha! Your Excellency is Mr. Scarlet Blade, welcome to the north, I look forward to the stars and the moon, and finally I hope for you! How, the scenery of our northern land...... Isn't it completely different from the South? ”

Looking at the enthusiastic and unrestrained Grand Duke Stefan, Sebas smiled and saluted:

"It's different, grasslands, forests, canyons, glaciers...... The landforms of the north are more magnificent and vast than those of the southern Ones. ”

"Hahaha, Mr. Sebas, you are really good at talking, I have prepared a grand banquet for your mission, please be sure to attend tonight!"

Grand Duke Stefan laughed.

Sebas also laughed:

"Thank you for your hospitality, then."

Grand Duke Stefan was a very talkative person.

Headed by the scenery of the North and the invitation to the banquet, he quickly opened up the conversation and talked to Sebas.

The ruler of the North seems to have been curious about the Unette culture and the Elven civilization, and asked many questions about the Elven culture and the customs of the Unette Kingdoms.

Although Sebas is not a human, as an elf who has traveled in the countries of Ynet all year round, the knowledge reserve in his stomach is also quite rich.

He can answer all kinds of questions asked by Grand Duke Stefan.

The host and guest chatted happily, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

However, neither Grand Duke Stefan nor Sebas ever mentioned the Holy Court.

The two talked.

Until...... The sun is sinking in the west.

Seeing that it was almost dark, Grand Duke Stefan stopped the topic with some unfinished thoughts and said with a smile:

"The conversation with Mr. Sebas was an eye-opener, and the time is almost up, so please move and join the dinner at the Hermitage!"

This time, however, Sebas did not answer directly.

His gaze swept over the guards standing guard in the palace, and noticing his movements, Grand Duke Stefan's heart moved slightly, and he said to the guards:

"You ...... Let's all go down first. ”

The guards respectfully resigned and stood outside the palace, while Grand Duke Stefan looked at Sebas with a smile again:

"Mr. Sebas...... Is there something secret to be said? ”

Sebas didn't continue to change the subject.

He straightened his face, retracted his smile, and his expression became meaningful:

"Your Majesty, your true purpose in inviting our mission from Castel to the North...... Isn't it spreading the faith of the Holy Court? ”

Listening to Sebas's words, Grand Duke Stefan did not show an expression of surprise.

He smiled, and then quickly restrained his smile, and his expression became majestic and solemn.

I saw that he glanced at Sebas meaningfully and said:

"Mr. Sebas......"

"You...... and the Castel family you follow, the ...... you believe in It's not the moon god and the Divine Court, is it? ”

……

"Astrid! You stinky girl, come back to me! ”

In the bustling streets, the Northern warrior Balder shouted as he chased his daughter.

However, the girl's did not stop at all, and still rushed forward without looking back.

The warriors of the North are helpless.

He stomped his foot, but he also quickened his pace and chased after him.

It's just that this chase is directly fifteen minutes.

Balde was surprised to find that his daughter, who had never been very physically outstanding, was running all the way without rest today.

Even he, an advanced transcendent, was a little tired of chasing, but ...... But the girl still seems to have inexhaustible strength, and her speed has not decreased at all.

The more Balde chased, the more surprised he became, and the more he chased, the more confused he became.

It wasn't until he chased his daughter out of the city of Winterhold and into a secluded suburb that Astrid finally stopped.

"Ah...... Astrid...... You're ...... This stinky girl...... Finally stopped, you ...... When did you run like this? ”

Balde breathless, panting.

"Father!"

Astrid glanced warily behind the warrior of the North:

"No one is catching up, is there?"

Balde was slightly stunned.

He looked behind him, shook his head subconsciously, and then, as if he realized something, his expression gradually became serious:

"What the hell is going on? You...... Did you get into trouble? Are you hiding from the Marquis of Vladimir? ”

"Father! I didn't get into trouble! ”

Astrid said.

After speaking, she glanced behind her father again, pursed her lips, and said:

"I'm hiding from the marquis, no...... It should be said that I am not only hiding from him, but also from the emissaries of Castre! ”

"Castre's emissary corps? What are you hiding from them? This...... What the hell is going on? ”

The Northern warrior Balder looked confused.

"Oops! Father! Didn't you just listen to what I said! The power of the totem! I used the power of the totem! ”

"Our Alliance of Free Tribes has not been abandoned by the gods! I just ...... Inspired by the gods! ”

"Those messengers of Castel are subordinates of the Holy Maiden of the Holy Court, who have come to the north to preach! They want to destroy our faith! They...... It's our enemies, and of course I'm going to hide from them! ”

Hearing this, Balde finally understood what the girl was saying, and he looked at his daughter in surprise:

"Wait, are you serious? What do you mean...... Are you really able to use the power of totems? ”

"Yes! Father! It's true! I've really received a revelation from the gods and am able to use the power of totems! I used the power of the totem to defeat that guy Gunnar! ”

"If you don't believe it...... Check it out! ”

As she spoke, Astrid closed her eyes and tried to unleash the strange power she had felt before.

However...... This time she failed.

"Huh? What about my totemic powers? ”

The girl's expression was a little dazed.

"Astrid ......"

Looking at his daughter's insistence on the Savior, Balder was a little helpless.

And noticing her father's somewhat suspicious look, the girl suddenly became anxious:

"Father! I didn't lie to you! It's true! I've really been favored by the gods! ”

"We were wrong! We didn't get a response from the gods, it's just that the emblem we enshrined was incomplete! ”

"Pray to the true emblem, and we will be answered by the gods!"

As she spoke, Astrid picked up a twig from the ground and was about to depict the true emblem.

However, just when the girl was about to follow the memory to depict, she suddenly froze in place.

Her mind went blank, her expression was a little dazed, and her movements were a little confused.

Her hands trembled, and her voice trembled slightly:

"Wait......"

"The true emblem of our Lord...... What is it? ”
