Most of the northern borders are coniferous forests, and there are very few small plants on the ground except for the large trees.

So the view is quite broad.

With the faint moonlight, the range of fifty or sixty meters near Lawson was basically in an unobstructed state.

He was five or six meters apart, following behind the Winterless Apostle all the way, and gradually entered the depths of the mountain forest.

After walking for more than an hour, the Apostle of Neverwinter suddenly stopped, pointed to a boulder in front of him, and said softly: "There is a situation ahead, come and hide here." ”

After saying that, she hid behind the stone first, and Lawson thought about it and followed him to the boulder to hide.

The location of the boulder is exactly the top of the slope, and in front of it is a huge slope, and the abnormal movement comes from the bottom of the slope, about seventy or eighty meters away from the two of them.

Through the cracks in the rocks, Lawson vaguely saw two figures appear at the bottom of the slope.

Zooming in through the adventure log, Rosen can see the target in general.

The figure was very short, about 1.5 meters, but it was very strong, and the thickness of his arms was almost up to Lawson's waist.

I feel that if he is hammered by this thing in an undefended state, it can directly kill him.

The two stocky figures were not idle, carrying a large log at least 30 centimeters thick and seven or eight meters long.

The two of them cooed as they walked, as if they were talking, but in a language that Rosen didn't understand at all.

When the other party walked to the nearest place, Rosen squinted and found that in this cold winter night, the two of them were wearing nothing, allowing their bodies to be exposed in the cold wind.

It is precisely because the other party is in such a state of honesty that Rosen can clearly see their body structure.

In addition to his unusual strength and extremely pale complexion, the details of his body are no different from those of ordinary people, including his hands and feet and a head, his hands and feet are also five fingers, and there is also a dangling strip of flesh around his waist.

But even though they are both humanoids, anyone can tell that they belong to different races just by looking at each other.

Just like Homo sapiens and Neanderthals on Earth, there is a clear difference.

The two walked very fast, and after a while, they were far away.

Without waiting for Rosen to ask, the Apostle of Neverwinter had already taken the initiative to explain.

"The Ice Dwarves, also known as Ice Demons, come from the Frost Lands to the north of the Snowy Mountains. As for why they are here, it is unknown. ”

The Land of Frost, which is said to be several times colder than the north, covers most of the area with snow and ice all year round, and there is no food to be found except for the fish of the sea and the moss of the ice fields.

It's no wonder that the inhabitants of such a ghost place can ignore the cold winds of the north.

The Apostle of Neverwinter asked softly, "Follow and see?" ”

Rosen groaned slightly, then nodded in agreement.

The two quietly followed, under the cover of the trees.

When he followed, Rosen kept an eye on the state of the Sun Law Seal, for fear of being attacked by the Winterless Apostle.

After about a quarter of an hour, a steep plateau appeared ahead.

The main body of this high ground is a huge rock in the shape of a turtle's back, and one side of the turtle's back has been fractured, forming a steep cliff of at least 50 meters.

On the other side, a tall wall was built out of thick logs, blocking all the way up the rocks.

In the flat land above the high ground, you can see many low grass huts, one after the other, densely packed, large and small, and at first glance, it seems as if it were a graveyard of the earth.

The two ice dwarves carried the logs and walked like the wind, and in a short time they reached the top of the rock, and then many ice dwarves came out of the huts, took the logs, and went to the wooden wall.

Rosen looked closely at the wooden wall and saw that the log was not the main body of the wall, but rather a scaffolding-like existence, and a large number of square boulders could be seen piled up behind the log.

Looking at the stone wall, most of it has not been formed, but a small part of it has already been built.

The stone wall is 10 meters high and more than 3 meters wide, and the gaps are filled with clay, connecting the entire stone wall into one.

Rosen was shocked: "They are actually building a fortress." ”

The Apostle of Winterless didn't show any surprise on his face, as if he was no longer surprised.

"Looking at the number of shacks, the number of ice dwarves is at least 1,500, almost the same as the residents of Moonlight Town."

This number is quite staggering, because although there are 2,000 people in Yuehui Town, it is the elderly and weak women and children.

The more than 1,500 people in front of him are most likely strong warriors, and if they really want to fight, even if Yuehui Town can withstand it, the losses will be very heavy.

What's even more frightening is that these ice dwarves clearly do not intend to storm and build fortresses deep in the mountains and forests.

When the fortress is finished, it will be a nail that will be extremely difficult to remove.

"It's terrible, we need to bring this news back immediately!"

Rosen stepped back along the same path, taking a few steps, only to see that the Apostle of Neverwinter was still standing still.

His heart tightened: "What do you want to say?" ”

The Apostle of Neverwinter smiled slightly.

"As you can see, the alien race has invaded the Yellow Water Heights, and the power is strong, if this news reaches back to Silvermoon Castle, a big war will definitely break out."

Rosen's heart moved, and he understood.

"The King of Neverwinter is a god born in response to war, and when a great war breaks out, he can quickly regain his strength."

"That's right, my lord is the god of war, and this is the most marginal place in the golden land, and when war breaks out, my lord's strength will be restored to its peak."

"Now that the power of the Golden God is gradually weakening, it is very likely that his life has reached the end of his life. When he falls, my lord will be the lord of the north, and you, who help him accomplish great things, will also receive supreme glory. ”

That's a kind of fascinating statement.

But Lawson is not an ignorant novice, even if he is a transcendent, he has a lot of understanding.

"Highly likely? In other words, you are not sure why the Golden God is weak? ”

The Winterless Apostle is stagnant.

"I have also heard that there are strong and weak gods, and the power of strong gods can easily crush weak gods. The Golden God is the most powerful god in the world, and even if it declines, it will be easy to deal with your master, right? ”

The Apostle of Neverwinter pursed his lips, "It seems that you don't plan to follow my lord. ”

"Are you going to do it?"

Lawson slowly retreated, intending to run away with all his might.

The Apostle of Neverwinter shook his head.

"There is no need for this, even if you don't believe in my lord. You'll also send the news of the Ice Dwarf invasion back to Silvermoon Castle, and war will definitely break out, right? ”

Lawson nodded: "That's right." ”

"Mage, the master has an endless lifespan and infinite patience, you haven't figured it out for a while, it doesn't matter."

"Someday, the facts will prove the master's words, and at that time, with your vision, it will naturally work for the master, won't you?"

Lawson smiled faintly: "If the King of Neverwinter can really predict the fall of the Golden God, then I will naturally surrender to him without hesitation." ”

"Let time tell."

The Apostle of Neverwinter slowly stepped back, and a voice drifted in the wind.

"Mage, my master will rise again in this war, and I wish you the glory you want in this war."

As soon as the words fell, the figure of the Winterless Apostle completely disappeared into the darkness.

Rosen's heart moved when he heard this: "Heh~ It's still a scheme." ”

I have to say, this is indeed a rare opportunity.

Do you want to hurry?

It's a must!

Is that to tell the whole truth to Count Sophia?

Of course not, it must be said selectively and skillfully.

Rosen had no true loyalty to the Earl of Silvermoon Castle.

In other words, he will not have true loyalty to any of his superiors.

Not because he likes betrayal, but because he understands the nature of the workings of power.

There is no absolute power in this world, and its essence is a cooperative contract between the superior and the inferior.

Since it is cooperation, it must be mutually beneficial.

Loyalty, in fact, is not noble, let alone sacred, but is just a mental tool invented by the superior to bind the lower.

Of course, the inferior were not willing to be bound, and also invented a series of virtues such as 'kindness, generosity, and generosity' to restrain the superior.

To the Earl, Rosen was the subordinate.

Verbally, he must declare himself loyal, because he must do so in order to gain the Count's trust, but he must not be bound by the concept of 'loyalty'.

For example, now, the best thing to do for Count Sophia is for Rosen to tell her all the details and let her make the decision.

But if he does this, Rosen will not get the biggest benefit, and he may have an extra circle of evil god aura on his body, which will alienate people who don't know the inside story.

What he wants to do is to seize the opportunity of the war, take the opportunity to establish meritorious deeds, and seek the greatest benefit for himself.

So, this little episode of the Apostle of Neverwinter, he intends to rot in the stomach.

Thinking of this, he turned around and walked back the way he came.

After tossing and turning, when I got back to my room, it was already 10 o'clock in the night.

Lying on the floor, I felt that my legs were sore and weak, but I didn't have the heart to rest, because I hadn't done my magic homework yet.

Close your eyes and meditate on the 'Lord of the Universe' as usual.

The mind slowly penetrates into the sea of consciousness, enters the first perspective of the Lord of the universe, quietly visualizes the cosmic sphere wrapped in the film of the Godhead, and feels the power of the universe passing through the Godhead, gradually merging into the main body of his soul.

This meditation has been going on for more than a month and so far, the results are amazing and no problems have arisen.

But something wasn't right tonight.

The golden point of light in the godhead trembled slightly, and then, a trace of power escaped from the golden point of light, as if a hole appeared in the godhead membrane.

Rosen was stunned: 'What's going on?' ’

He continued to meditate and carefully observe the performance of the golden points of light.

As the meditation continued to go deeper, the more obvious the trembling of the golden points of light became, and the more power was lost, until it was about one-tenth of the total power of the meditation, and finally stabilized.

A stream of information came from the cosmic godhead program on the desktop: 'Found the resonance of the anomalous power, do you want to cut it off?' ’

"Cut...... Wait, forget it. ”

Memories of the past combined with today's encounters made him think of a possibility.

Maintaining this bond of power is basically nothing to lose to him, but it can be someone's lifesaver.
