The butcher looked at Tekochen strangely, "You look like you've lost a bag of gold coins." ”

Tek angrily kicked the stones at his feet, "Last night, someone robbed the prison and let go of more than 300 prisoners. ”

"Oh?" The butcher said, "That's not a big deal, just find a few jailers to take the blame." ”

"I thought that more than 300 people would leave traces when they escaped, so I led people to chase after them." Tekochen's expression was a little gloomy, "I didn't expect them to have another way to eliminate the traces." ”

The butcher asked, "What way?" ”

Tekoxing looked at him with a sad face: "It's you." ”

The butcher pointed to his nose, "Me? ”

"They led the prisoners to escape through the snowfield first, leaving a lot of footprints. Let Bella lead you through a similar route. Once you've passed the frozen lake, your footprints and scents are mixed, and we'll be powerless to track them down. ”

The butcher was stunned.

But in retrospect, when chasing Bella in the night, who cares if there are other people's footprints on the ground?

"Forget it, if you can't catch up, you won't chase it." Tekxing shook his head and changed his mood, "We haven't seen each other for too long, why don't we go back and have a drink?" ”

"You can bend and stretch." The butcher said, "If I want to go back to Ice Wolf Castle, I'm afraid it's not convenient for me." ”

Tekoxing smiled, "What's inconvenient, the Ice Wolf King is dead, do his words still have meaning?" You should go after his stupid son now, and maybe get him reinstated. ”

.

Carl on Guillotine couldn't help but sneeze twice.

"I don't know which bastard is scolding me behind my back." Karl looked around anxiously.

The foot of the volcano is littered with bare black soil and solidified magma, and the air is filled with the smell of sulfur. Looking for a "refining remnant" in such a great wasteland, what is the difference between this and looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Your Royal Highness, you should be patient." Amber smiled beside him.

Karl forced his temper and asked, "My smart and beautiful Great Soul Sorcerer, what can you do?" ”

Amber was having a few soldiers build a tripod, and she herself was fiddling with a magic circle on a silver platter. When the circle was finished, she put the silver plate on the tripod, and as the energy in the circle gradually filled, a faint light gradually appeared in the circle and pointed in a certain direction.

Karl looked at this light and suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Is it possible to find the destination as long as you follow this light?" ”

"You guessed it." Amber smirked, "Since it's called 'Refining Remnant', it will inevitably involve a lot of soul magic applications. Soul magic, on the other hand, produces an invisible gas when used, which we call 'soul entropy'. This circle can effectively detect ......"

Karl didn't have the heart to listen to her explain slowly, and he couldn't hold back his excitement and ordered everyone to march immediately and rush to the destination immediately!

Their luck was good, they only ran wild for half an hour, and the pillars of light in the circle became thicker and brighter.

"Looks like it's nearby." Amber said.

Alan immediately ordered his soldiers to scatter and search, and soon they found a hexagonal steel gate under a dirt slope.

Outside the gate leaned against a boulder, on which were clearly engraved with a few lines of large characters with an unknown sharp weapon: "The Great Elder of the Korsun Tribe, Walker, is buried here." The work of eternity, grinding pillars and stones, engraved for thousands of years. May it sit upright in the sky, gaze into the void, and bathe in the fire and concentrate on ......"

Amber snorted and sneered, "Where did the barbarians think that by writing some bullshit on a stone, they can just take a place as a tomb?" ”

After that, she didn't even want to make a handprint, and a thunderbolt instantly smashed the boulder!

Karl laughed and ordered his men to smash open the door to see what was inside.

The iron door rumbled and slowly opened, and a smell of foot odor came to my face.

"What's going on?" Carl and the others covered their mouths and noses and retreated. When the iron door was completely opened, they saw the tragic situation inside.

The once spacious cave had been burned to the ground by the flames, and the blackened walls were scraped away, revealing that it was an important building for the Travelers. There may even be some kind of treasure hidden up to the moment.

But now it's all gone, leaving Carl with nothing but messy rubble and a deep heartache.

The ground was littered with unburned plants and carbonized corpses, and some oddly shaped equipment and props had long since been unrecognizable.

Karl ordered the soldiers to carefully search every corner of the cave, hoping to find any valuable supplies from the wreckage. But three hours passed, and they found nothing.

"Impossible!" Amber sat down outside the door in frustration, "This must be where the 'Refining Remnant Chapter' is located, someone must have taken the lead and ransacked this place!" ”

Karl scraped some ash with his dagger and took a closer look, "It's very likely that someone came here just half a year ago." ”

Alan remembered the stone tablet outside: "Maybe it was the barbarians who did it?" ”

Amber nodded heavily.

Karl said disapprerovingly, "My beautiful and clever Great Soul Sorcerer has been deceived sometimes. ”

"Oh?" Amber looked up at him, "Your Royal Highness, the brave prince, tell me, how I was deceived?" ”

Karl narrowed his eyes and looked at the rubble outside the door: "How can a barbarian write?" ”

Amber was momentarily speechless.

Karl glanced inside the blackened house, "I saw that someone had looted this place and was afraid of being discovered, so he set fire to all the clues and deliberately set up a stone monument to make people think that this was the act of the barbarians." ”

Amber thought about it, but still didn't have a clue: "Who could it be?" ”

In the face of Amber's inquiry, Karl looked satisfied: "Have you forgotten that we recently encountered a woman who is very good at firearms, and her army happens to be nearby......"

Alan clapped his high-five: "That's right, 'Princess of Fire' Lydia!" ”

Amber snorted, "That's far-fetched. There are three mines of the Black Steel Empire in the vicinity, and they are also good at using firearms, as well as many noble lords and armies. ”

"Well, it seems that this image of a smart person is not for me." "I just found a piece of evidence," said Karl, pretending to be dashing. ”

Amber gave him a disdainful look: "What evidence?" ”

Carl picked up a small piece of rubble from Amber's crumble and placed it in Amber's hand. I saw that it read: "...... Celebrant: Lydia ......"

Amber was silent for a moment.

Alan smiled beside him: "It seems that we are indeed a step late, and the 'Refining Remnant Chapter' has already fallen into the hands of the Red Pavilion. ”

Carl nodded, "It's not easy to do that, I was going to destroy the Red Pavilion and avenge my brother." Give me orders, and we'll set off......"

"Your Highness, our soldiers have suffered heavy injuries and are running out of food." Alan persuaded on the side, "Why don't you temporarily retreat to Ice Wolf Castle and regroup your army to deal with the Red Pavilion?" ”

Carl was displeased, but he had no choice but to follow Allen's advice and withdraw his troops for the time being.

.

"It's another day for the fugitive princess." In the quarry, Black Snow happily loaded the back basket with stones.

Ever since she came back from the council hall that day, Hei Ningxue had been smirking all day long, which made the foreman in charge furious, "That guy shouldn't be crazy, he actually talked to the stone." ”

The other craftsmen were already afraid of this demon woman, but now they are even more far away. It just so happened that Hei Ningxue didn't bother to take care of them, but now she was trying to be clean.

Her dirty hands wiped a handful of sweat on her forehead, "This unsmiling adult is really a fascinating man." ”

Hei Ningxue recalled his words over and over again, short and concise, but it seemed that every sentence cut to the point. And it seemed that in the dark, his every word was paving her train of thought, as if he already knew what he was going to say.

"Could it be that he can really see through my heart?" A hint of shame appeared on Hei Ningxue's face, "What if I met not the Ice Wolf King, but him...... How nice would that be......"

In her mind, she imagined the appearance of standing behind Buxiao, guiding the country together in front of the sand table, scheming to win, and fighting side by side on the battlefield. Eventually, they will lay down a great territory and crown each other in the glorious temple.

Hei Ningxue couldn't help but feel excited, and even fell into a beautiful imagination: "Let's have a girl first, the eldest princess will definitely inherit my beauty, and then a boy will inherit his wisdom...... Ah, no, I'm pretty smart, I should be our smart ......"

"Black Snow ......"

"Who's calling Hongu by his name?" Hei Ningxue replied casually. When I looked back, I saw a stunned Lydia, and a few refugees who were also so surprised that they couldn't keep their mouths shut...... Demon refugees who escaped from Ice Wolf Castle.

A woman in a dirty linen skirt who was moving stones in a quarry called herself a royal voice. To make matters worse, she also had a hand of black-gray dirt on her face.

Hei Ningxue felt that her society was dead.

If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't lift the stone in her hand for a while, she really wanted to use it to break her head.

Silent.

All I could hear was the clanging of workers in the distance, mechanically: ding, ding, ding......

Whether it's the sharp-toothed Lydia, or the smart Black Condensation Snow, they don't know what to do to bring this field back at this moment.

"Black Snow......" a demon muttered, "Are you really Black Snow?" ”

It seems that there is no way to continue to play stupid.

Hei Ningxue closed her eyes in pain, "Yes, it's me. Laugh if you want......"

She tried to lift her face so that the tears would not flow so easily. Seeing the ugliness of the glamorous demon beauties in the past, they should laugh at me for the rest of my life...... But the lifespan of the demons is very long......

But the ridicule she expected didn't come.

Sob.

Hei Ningxue squinted her eyes and peeked at it, and many demons were actually wiping their tears.

"Is she willing to suffer here to save us......

"I didn't expect her to really lie to us......"

"We were suspicious of her at the beginning, and even said behind our backs that she brought us here to open up territory."

"The queen will not abandon our ......"

Lydia was the first to come back to her senses, "That's right, she voluntarily took on such a crime in order to ask the Lord of the Red Pavilion to rescue you from the Ice Wolf Castle. ”

Those demons suddenly broke their defenses. Some beat their chests and howled, some knelt down and begged Lydia to forgive Black Snow for her crimes, and some desperately broke through the soldiers' barriers, as if they wanted to help Black Snow move rocks together......
