"Bang, click"

Massive blocks of ice slammed into the ground with a popping thud, and the debris quickly slashed down the slope of the snowfield in the direction of Winterfell, bringing deep scratches to the ground covered in thick layers of snow.

The Grand Duke's Mansion in the North and the guards guarding Winterfell had noticed the situation of this frozen ruin at the moment of the incident, and after a brief wait-and-see, quickly conveyed the situation to the rest of the soldiers.

"What's the situation, has there been any change in the ruins outside the city, I remember that the Grand Duke's Mansion and the Little Broken Adventurer's Guild in the city didn't issue a notice to develop the ruins, could it be that some guy who was eager to make money went in by himself and triggered the defense left in the ruins?"

The residents of the street also stopped, looking at the changes in the direction of Santa Anna's snow-capped peak, and as the ice continued to peel off, the outline of the old city that was frozen in the big hole was becoming more and more clear.

"Whew, I don't know, it's so cold, do you feel it, it's winding here, isn't this winter wolf skin coat enough to keep warm, what the hell."

The companion next to him sighed, and as soon as the clouds of Baise came from his mouth to the outside world, they were quickly frozen into ice mist, and then moved some distance along with the cold wind mentioned in the speaker's mouth and fell to the ground.

"It's windy, the ice elements around here are gathering, didn't anyone tell you not to watch the excitement, hurry up and find a place to shrink first, if this cold wind gets a little stronger, it won't be safe outside."

A reminder from the owner of a magic tool on the side of the street interrupted the two guys' observation of the changing Santa Ana Snow Peak, and after realizing that what the mage said was correct, the two immediately planned to quickly return to their residence.

It was also around this time that the snow peak of Santa Anna, where the ice was still falling off, suddenly became blurred, and it was white and expansive, and it could no longer be pierced through the wind and snow that had been going on all year round, and the mage boss of the magic guide shop had a changed face and shouted to the people who were still walking on the street.

"Come in quickly, the ice element is rioting, don't expect the clothes you are wearing to save your lives, hurry up and come into my store!"

The sudden cold temperature in the air also made the passers-by on the street realize that something was wrong, and they rushed into each other's shops one after another, alerted by the mage who could sense the changes in the elements in the space.

"Bang!"

The door panel fell, and the magic circle engraved on it took effect, isolating the extreme cold of the outside world from the inside of the house, and the people who rushed into the house in a hurry were still in a trance, and their understanding of the situation at the moment was not clear.

"Boss, what's going on outside, why is that ruin suddenly like this, there won't be any big problems outside now."

Someone asked the owner of the magic guide shop, who seemed to be relatively knowledgeable about the current situation, to know what was going on outside.

"How do I know what's going on, I just know that the temperature outside is estimated to be enough to freeze you all into ice sculptures."

The boss replied angrily, took out a crystal ball with the magic eye attached to it, connected it to the magic eye alchemy prop placed on the store, and observed the outside world from the inside, this look, the other party's face quickly became ugly.

The scene on the street had become hazy, visibility had dropped to within ten meters, and it was filled with fine ice crystals and snowflakes that had been swept up by the wind.

The Magic Eye can see through this kind of wind and snow that obscures the vision to a certain extent, but at this moment, the space outside is already filled with ice elements, which makes the observation ability of the Magic Eye seriously reduced.

"Damn, no one told me this was happening in Winterfell, that's where the people of Severantine lived?"

The owner of the magic guide shop stared back into the corner of the picture where a dazed pedestrian stood with his back against the wall, as if before he could react, the blizzard from outside the city had arrived.

His whole body was motionless at the moment, his body was covered with rapidly spreading frost, and his back was completely glued to the wall, turning into an ice sculpture covered in ice and snow.

"Click......click"

The wind and snow also carried some rolled up stones and ice crystals, under the impetus of the wind, these hard objects also have considerable lethality, hitting the body of the humanoid ice sculpture, the flesh that has been turned into ice and brittle is quickly knocked down, and the outer layer of frozen flesh peels off little by little, revealing the bright red frozen block inside, which is shocking.

"Nourishing ......"

The crystal ball in the mage's hand suddenly made a soft sound, and the image that appeared on it turned black with no content.

"Tsk, the concentration of the ice element has risen too high, and the observation props of the Eye of Magic have been disturbed to the point that they cannot be used, wait in peace, are there any members of the Night Church, if there are any, you can contact the people in the city to find out what happened."

The owner of the magic guide shop had no choice but to put away the crystal ball of the mage's eye that had lost its effect, and his level as a mage was not high, since the magic guide, which was a more stable prop than the mage's own spell casting, was disturbed by the external environment and could not be used, then he would definitely not be able to cast spells by himself.

The other people in the room could also see the picture of the crystal ball, and in addition to the gratitude to the boss who took them in, the rest was worried about the current situation, and hearing the boss mention this, two members of the Night Church who were residents in the house quickly used the prayer communication network to start contacting members of other churches, trying to figure out what the situation was.

"Second team, raise the magic barrier, this blizzard doesn't know when it will stop, let it blow like this, those ordinary houses in the city that are not protected by the magic circle will have problems!"

The soldiers and city guards of the Grand Duke's Mansion are the first to know that this blizzard is coming, and their strength is also guaranteed, even if they are blown by this extremely cold storm at the moment, the fighting spirit they inspire is enough to resist it, but the residents of the city are not necessarily knights or mages, and this storm will kill them.

"See, the mages are already charging, Ma...... It's already launched. ”

The response was swift, and on the walls surrounding the capital, the glow of magic appeared along with the lit runes, and a barrier made of magic gradually rose.

From a few meters tall at the beginning to a few tens of meters high after charging, this magical barrier gradually blocked the ice elemental storm blowing from Santa Anna's Snow Peak out of Winter City, and the wind and snow raging in the streets and alleys of Winter City finally stopped.

It's just that the extremely cold blizzard caused by this ice elemental riot came really quickly, although the soldiers and city guards of the Grand Duke's Mansion reacted quickly enough, and the blizzard didn't have time to hurt the residents who were huddled in the house, but there were still a lot of ordinary residents who didn't have time to dodge, and were killed by the blizzard that poured into the streets, becoming a humanoid ice sculpture firmly cemented on the surrounding objects.

"The Grand Duke and the Grand Commander of Ulle are not here, but at this time, we have to make a decision quickly, whether to find out what happened to that ruin, or to keep the barrier open and stabilize first."

Standing on the ramparts, the soldiers who were now temporary captains of the Urle and the Grand Duke of the North left Winter City for the royal city and watched the snowstorm beyond the barrier at the snowstorm of Santa Anna

The snow peaks over there suddenly became blurry because of the strong wind that rose for some reason, and the surrounding snow was covered by the boiling blizzard.

"Inform the Grand Duke and the Grand Commander of Ulle, and let a team bring the magic equipment used to walk in extreme cold conditions, as well as the few city guards with barbarian blood, please lead the way, the blood of the barbarians is a good hand to ensure that they can move forward in this harsh environment."

The order was given, and the captain finally decided to go and investigate what happened to the ruins of Santa Anna's Snow Peak, and how it caused such a severe snowstorm.

If this level of blizzard continues, things can get quite troublesome, and the magic barrier circle that Winterfell has now opened is a transformation of the magic barrier circle that Seventan originally used to prevent the year-round wind and snow from burying the city.

At this moment, the severity of the blizzard is far beyond what normal weather can achieve, and the circle will be open for a day or two at most, and it will be bad if the blizzard does not stop at that time.

The message was quickly sorted out and sent to the royal city, and the army of soldiers who had gone to investigate the ruins was quickly assembled, and began to march in the direction of the snow field with the magic guide unique to the Upper Northland.

Time passed, and the Captain watched as the investigation team led by a guide with barbarian blood disappeared into the snow, and the message transmitted by the members of the Night Blade in the Grand Duke's Mansion through the prayer communication network was also responded.

"Not only in the territory of Seventan, in fact, all parts of the continent have undergone major or minor changes in the ruins during this time period, a big hole has collapsed on the side of the Ash Plains, and the entire capital of sin and karma has been exposed, and the orcs are still in the civil war, and the battle is directly interrupted by the inland sea that emerges from below......"

The message sent back made the captain a little confused, but he didn't expect that this was not an example of Santa Ana Snow Peak? This similar situation is happening all over the continent.

However, this is not an isolated situation, but it makes the captain have a bad feeling, involving the entire continent, which means that the size of this matter will definitely not be small, so the impact on them is not easy to say.

The only good news was that the Grand Duke and the Grand Commander of Ulle were already rushing to this side, and the reply also mentioned the Night's Edge and the rest of the reinforcements.

“……”

Looking at the snowfield covered by the snowstorm caused by the ice element, even the captain who has been living in the Northland for a long time with the Grand Duke of the North has rarely seen such a large snowstorm, and it seems that it is deliberately aroused, hoping that the team that went to investigate can find some useful information.

The attention of the residents of the whole city was attracted by the white blizzard that covered the sky, but there was a certain "dead end" in the interior of Winter City, which was relatively weak compared to other cities of the same size in Alestale. ”

With the help of the blizzard and the cover of the magic guide they carried, a group of people quickly came to the outside of Winterfell close to the city wall, and began to climb the wall to enter the winterfell.

Their attire and appearance are unique to the inhabitants of the Northlands, and they do not feel out of place with the inhabitants when they enter the city, and under their thick winter coats are their own coats of arms that they use to distinguish each other's identities, but they point to one of Alestale's neighbors, the Sarebon Empire.

Acting silently, these Sariben teams, who arrived at the border of Alestale at this moment, as if they had foreseen the sudden blizzard, quickly opened a hole in the magical barrier that was not used to defend against people, and successfully entered the city that had just been attacked by a sudden blizzard, and was still a little dazed and chaotic.

Tidying up their clothes and taking off the things that covered their heads and faces, without any unnatural expressions on their faces, and confused as if they had just been hit by a blizzard, these unidentified guys from neighboring countries managed to integrate into the city.
