Let's leave aside everything that happens on the ice field, what kind of shelter needles, dragon hunts, etc., etc......

Three days later, on the eve of the founding of the Roland Empire, the 960th National Day.

dìdū.

This is the largest Xiongxiong city on the Roland continent, the Lancang Grand Canal in the north has been repeatedly dug by several generations of emperors of the empire, originally from a moat that only undertook the function of defense, to a large river that traverses the east and west of the empire, west of the Oslea Mountains in the northwest of the empire, and a large river in the east of the sea, which is also a dividing line between the north and south of the empire.

Just before nightfall, the sunset shè shè on the Lancang Grand Canal in the north of dìdū, slowly, the sunset remnants dragged on the majestic city wall, the north and west of the city wall are on average 20 meters high, and the highest underground tower is 30 meters high, which was founded hundreds of years ago in the imperial turmoil, that is, the era of the rise of the Augustinian Dynasty, in order to resist the rebellion in the northwest and the warlords in the northern secession, The empire spent a great deal of money to strengthen the defense of the northwest area, standing on top of the 30-meter high ground tower, and even overlooking the north bank of the Lancang Grand Canal, ten miles away from the Acropolis.

Tonight, on the eve of the National Day, according to tradition, the president of the Roland Continent Magic Guild will join the astrologers of the Imperial Court to perform divination on the highest tower in the north, looking at the starry sky and predicting the future national fortune of the Empire...... Naturally, it is necessary to invite several eminent scholars to write two flowery articles to cater to the current emperor, His Majesty Augustine VI.

At this moment, under the castle tower, two teams of royal guards replaced the city guards to guard the castle tower, and above the castle tower, surrounded by countless brightly armored royal guards, on top of the highest tower, stood several of the most prominent dignitaries. But every nobleman pretended to be worried about the fortunes of the empire on his face, otherwise how could he show how patriotic he was?

The only face that was a little uncomfortable was an old man standing by the stargazing tower with an indifferent face.

This old man is wearing a black robe, the robe is made of the rarest gold silk produced in the south of the empire, this kind of gold silk is a kind of growth in the south of the empire. in order to have the financial means to wear this kind of clothing made of silk.

Although this old man looks extremely old, his hair and beard are still black, especially his eyes, which are as dark and bright as the night, which is different from the blue and green eyes of most people in the Roland Continent, but such strange black eyes add a bit of mysterious taste to the old man.

About two steps behind the old man, there stood four or five tall, short, fat and thin people, all of whom had serious faces, their eyelids lowered, and stood quietly behind him...... These people were all wearing gold clover badges that symbolized the status of the Great Magician! These people were actually all Eighth-level and above magicians

And the old man, on his robe, showed a faint gold rim around the edge, like a flame map, and on his chest, pinned a small gold badge.

This is an olive leaf, although it is gold, but it looks very simple, and under the night sky, it shimmers with a faint luster.

There is only one such badge in the whole continent! And this badge, in the Roland Continent, from a certain point of view, can even be more majestic than the scepter of His Majesty the Emperor.

The president of the Wizards Guild of Roland Continent, Argo Dougan, wearing this expensive golden silk mage robe and the badge of the chairman of the Magician Guild, looked boredly at the court astrologer in the stargazing tower pretending to squint, holding a bunch of messy things, and once in his mouth, looking at the sky with those squinted eyes, he didn't know what he was muttering.

From the bottom of his heart, Yago Dougan is very unimpressed with this so-called astrology. He is the most orthodox magician, and orthodox magicians have always looked down on two professions: one is a magic apothecary, as the president of the magicians' union, Mr. Dougan once proposed to kick the potions master out of the ranks of magicians. Studying the various forces of this world, the forces of nature, is the only way to understand the gods.

The last rays of the sun and the earth finally disappeared, and the sky had completely darkened.

The court astrologer, dressed in a magnificent robe, continued to tinker with his own things with a serious face......

What makes Doug a little tedious is that although no one believes in the results of the divination, it is a necessary ritual, and this kind of divination every year is actually just a good opportunity for the emperor to pat the horse.

In addition, the Wizards' Guild receives a large amount of gold from the royal family every year as a fund.

The night was still very cold.Unfortunately.In order to show respect for the Heavens.These powerful magicians could not use even a small amount of magic to keep warm.The magicians were very old, and even Doug himself felt a little chilly—he even maliciously wondered.Could this boring ritual just a small prank of His Majesty the Emperor's disdain for the Magicians' Guild? Deliberately let these people stand here at night and freeze all night?

Doug pursed his lips and glanced underneath the castle tower.

According to tradition, the results of the divination are sent to the palace and the temple respectively, and two "Majesies" of the Roland Continent, an emperor and a pope, pray in the palace and the temple at the same time.

However, this year, the situation is a little different.The Elders of the Temple did not arrive, but only sent a Grand Priest under the Pope, and in previous years, the Grand Knight of the Holy Knights, who was the representative of the Temple, did not come this year, and the Temple only sent an eighth-level Holy Knight to fill the number.

One of the three major knights has mutinied, and two have been killed.This news has spread to the mainland.It seems that the temple is in big trouble.I heard that the elders have been sent out to hunt down and kill the great knight of the renegade Hussein.

The relationship between the Wizards' Guild and the Temple has always been very cold, and Doug has a bit of a schadenfreude in his heart.

Presumably, His Majesty the Pope in the temple must be in a very bad mood right now, right? With such a bad mood, he still presides over the solemn prayer ceremony as if he is fine...... Doug smiled slightly, he didn't even notice it, he laughed out loud.

According to the regulations, in this kind of divination ceremony, the people next to the people are not allowed to make any sound.

But Doug's identity is here, who dares to accuse him? The emperor's representative.A court steward only looked at the president of the Wizards' Guild carefully, and didn't dare to speak.

(If a star suddenly fell from the sky right now, it would be hilarious.) Doug guessed inwardly.

Just about a hundred years ago, at an astrological ceremony on the eve of the National Day, I don't know what happened, a vision suddenly appeared in the starry sky, a star of the earth, with a whistling earth tail flame pierced the sky, as if falling towards the sky! That terrible scene stunned everyone, and everyone thought it was an ominous omen. It caused a turmoil in the land, and the astrologers believed that it was an evil spirit descending on the world to endanger the fortunes of the empire, and this excuse was used by the big people in the land as the best excuse to attack political opponents, and for a time His Majesty the Emperor was also deeply involved, watching those big magnates arguing and arguing, and the emperor also killed many people because of it.

That was a hundred years ago, and now that there is such a big thing happening in the temple, if there is a phenomenon like a hundred years ago in the starry sky tonight, will it cause some royal trouble again?

With malicious speculation, Doug waited boredly for the ceremony to end.

Finally, in the middle of the night, the pretending astrologer was as tired as if he had run ten kilometers in one go, and he sat down panting, sweating profusely, and his whole body seemed to be weak, and the parchment in front of him was full of what he called the results of divination, and those ghost-drawn things were probably only understood by himself.

"Alright, thank the gods, the empire is prosperous." The court astrologer wearily rolled up the parchment and solemnly handed it over to the court master.

It's hard for him...... Chairman Doug secretly sneered, but he still pretended to be happy on his face, and watched the palace supervisor Shuangshu come to him with the parchment, the chairman of the magicians' union looked solemn, and then made a few finger strokes, and cast a permanent curing technique.This spell can keep this parchment paper for hundreds of years without damage.Then, this ridiculous ghost drawing talisman will be solemnly kept in the secret file of the palace......

In fact, this kind of permanent solidification technique can be performed by any fifth- or sixth-level earth magician, and it doesn't need to be done by Chairman Doug himself at all—it's just for the sake of making gestures and walking around the process.

After finishing the final work of the night, Doug breathed a sigh of relief, and was finally able to go back.

But as if it was meant to be, it seemed that the night would not be quiet!

Just as everyone was about to leave, suddenly, they heard a burst of thunder from the horizon as if they were thundering on a summer night, and then when everyone was looking for prestige, they saw that above the northeast horizon, a shining point of light was rapidly expanding, and then a star, all red, with a long tail flame whistling like an upside-down broom, whistling, cutting through the sky, as if a red fire had burned the sky out of a scratch, and fell towards the west......

Everyone was stunned, as if they were stunned, looking at the vision of heaven and earth......

After a long time, the court supervisor suddenly changed sè, and his face showed a panicked expression!!.

This cry immediately resonated with everyone, as if a stone had been thrown into the water calmly, and suddenly, with a buzz, the voices of the people boiled, and all the faces were different, some panicked, some brooding, some snickering, some worried......

In short, everyone has a different kind of mind in their hearts, worrying about the country and the people for this terrible celestial phenomenon and worrying about the fortune of the country, and some people know about the turmoil in the land a hundred years ago, secretly thinking about what kind of turmoil this matter may cause, and some people have begun to think about how to take advantage of the momentum of this matter......

The only ones who didn't say anything were Mr. Doug, the president of the Magic Guild, and the court astrologer.

On the other hand, Doug felt a little ridiculous, he was a magician, but he didn't believe that this phenomenon of stars was guided by any gods.

And the court astrologer was completely stupid!

The appearance of the broom star! This is obviously a great ominous! It is clearly a very bad omen! And he has just "divined" the result of the prosperity of the country.

It's a small loss of face, but when this incident happened, His Majesty was furious, and I was afraid that he would be unlucky.

The court astrologer fell to his heart's content, but none of the people around him reached out to help him, and some looked at the fellow with pity......

A hundred years ago, when a broom appeared in the sky, the emperor immediately cut down the palace astrologer master!

This guy ...... Looks like another unlucky ghost.

Whether it's a broom star or anything, Chairman Doug doesn't bother to get involved in such boring things, so let these royals and nobles mess around on their own, the Wizards' Guild won't get into this dispute.

Thinking of this, Chairman Doug nodded to the court steward who was already empty, and then prepared to leave.

But at this moment, a man wearing a mage's robe ran up the castle tower quickly, and several nobles were squeezed down along the way, if it weren't for the fact that his mage badge was of a very high level, and he was famous in dìdū, and many people knew him, I am afraid that he would have been stopped by the royal guards a long time ago.

The mage who broke up quickly ran to Dougdi's side, and then he didn't care about any etiquette, his face was solemn, and he leaned into Dougdi's ear in front of so many people and whispered a few words.

Originally, the chairman of the Magic Union was still a little dissatisfied, thinking that it was very undignified to bite his ears and whisper in public, but before he could say the reproachful words in his mouth, he heard the other party's whispering clearly, and suddenly his face changed!

Chairman Doug's body trembled slightly, and the people standing around him couldn't help but wonder, what could it be that could make this leader of the whole continent magician?

He ...... Is it really dead?"

"OK." Cold sweat was on the forehead of the magician who broke in: "The original stone of the earth that he left behind has been shattered......"

There were a few people around who were standing close to the ground, and they couldn't help but feel strange when they heard this last sentence.

In the Magicians' Guild, those high-level magicians whose status has reached a certain level can get a lot of honor from the Magicians' Guild, and even some direct help. Every great magician will leave his life mark in the Natal Primordial Stone, and once this magician dies, even at the ends of the earth, the Natal Primordial Stone will be induced and shattered, so that the Magicians' Guild can at least grasp whether these high-level magicians are still alive or not in the world.

"Are you sure it's his?" Argo-Doug, the leader of the magicians of the Roland Continent, his dark eyes flashed with a deep gaze, and if anyone who was close to him, he could even find that the chairman of the Magicians' Guild was trembling his fingers.

"OK." The mage who came to report the news said in a low voice, "It's the oldest rough stone in the storage place...... It literally shattered."

After all, he was the chairman of the Continent-wide Magician Guild, and Agodoug immediately realized that this was not the place to express his emotions, so he tried to calm down and quickly gave the order:

"Find out right now! Where and how did he die? I don't think there is any strong man on this continent who can kill him! God, he actually died...... And the female apprentice he brought to the wizards' union for the assessment, that little girl, that stuttering eighth-level magician! You must find her! By the way, the most important thing, you remember!" Yago-Doug took a deep breath: "Last month, according to the report, didn't he take away the young master who was the only one of the Rollin family's Burning Books? Find him! Find the young master of the Rollin family! We must at least know what happened! What the hell is it for? Such a powerful magician will die! Maybe when he dies, that little young master of the Luo Lin family will be by his side! Go and check! But look for it! Go quickly!!"

After saying that, the mage who reported the news hurriedly responded, and Yago-Doug reluctantly smiled at the people who cast surprised glances around him, and then sighed: "It's nothing, you don't need to be surprised, it's just that today seems destined to be an ominous rì...... The Wizards' Guild has lost a legendary Great Magician!I am a co-mentor with the previous President of the Wizards' Guild, a great legendary magician...... Gandoff, died."

As soon as the words fell, the audience was in an uproar~

On this very night, the whole body was alarmed by the unexpected vision of the starry sky, just when Mr. Yago Doug was changed by that astonishing news.

At the northern end of the Roland Continent, across the Lancang Grand Canal, across thousands of miles of northern plains, all the way to the vast frozen forest, in the dense forest, the snow is knee-thick.

There was a group of people walking through the woods with difficulty.

Du Wei took Hussein's place and walked at the front of the queue to open the way, he held Hussein's long sword in his hand, the original longsword of the hundred refining jīng steel ground, which was covered with terrible cracks, and the blade was still full of dense gaps.

Du Weidi was in a very bad situation, he walked with a limp, and the long sword in his hand was more useful as a crutch except for occasionally splitting the thorns in front of him.

And behind Du Wei Di, the paladin Hussein was in a worse situation than Du Wei, Hussein wrapped his head in a cloth, and his left eye was also wrapped, under the cloth, there was red blood oozing out of Yan Sè, the knight looked extremely weak, while wheezing, coughing incessantly, blood mixed with spit flowed from the corners of his mouth, his chest and back were hit hard, and one arm was simply hung on his chest, making him walk very unsteadily, and he reluctantly followed behind Du Wei Di.

And then behind, a beautiful woman who is almost terrifying, naturally Her Majesty Queen Medusa, but Her Majesty Medusa's face is almost transparent at the moment, her eyes are still closed, and her expression seems to be indifferent, but surprisingly, she can't walk by herself.

And Gargamel, god pity, his gray sè hair was almost all charred into black sè, and his long rat tail was half cut off, and even one of his ears was almost cut off.

In this group, the only one who seems to be intact is the elegant penguin, Mr. QQ.

Duwe Hussein, Medusa, Gargamel.oq

In this small team, whether it is a man or a snake or a mouse or a penguin, they are all dejected.

And only one person is missing.

The old magician, the old immortal, is no longer in the ranks.

It is extremely difficult to walk in the frozen forest, Du Wei and the others, everyone has injuries on their bodies, this team with several top powerhouses in the continent is almost disabled now, and it is very difficult to even walk in the frozen forest.

"Canyon! look! it's a canyon! We're in the Treant Clan." Du Wei, who was walking in the front, suddenly shouted loudly.

In the distance, in the crevices of the dense wooded ground, you can see the low peaks on both sides stretching out, and it is the canyon that was once occupied by the Medusa.

"Inside, there is a fountain of immortality that can heal your wounds, Hussein." Du Wei sighed.

The knight sèyīn Shen also said something and snorted in a low voice.

He suddenly puffed up his chest and strode past Du Wei, his steps staggering, but with a hint of unyielding.

The knight suddenly turned around and glanced at Du Wei with the only remaining eye: "Remember, sooner or later, I will kill it back!" Use the old dragon's head to pay tribute to the dead old immortal guy!"

"I believe it." Du Wei nodded, there was no longer a hint of joke on his face, and there was a resolute look in his eyes: "Although I don't like that old guy very much either, we will definitely seek revenge from the dragon clan!"

"Dewey." Hussein's body shook suddenly, he had insisted on him with a will, but he finally couldn't stand at this moment, after he shook it for a while, he reached out and held a big tree beside him, and the rest of his eyes stared at Du Wei carefully: "Listen, that old dragon killed him, so now, you and I are the only heirs of the Aragonese in this world. I don't care whether you want to or not, we must undertake this mission! Especially you! So, I hope you don't be half-hearted. If we want to seek revenge on the dragons, then you must grow up to be as strong as Aragorn! Otherwise, we are not the opponents of the old dragons, we are not!"

So what happened in the past three days?

A few years later, Du Wei once mentioned to the people around him about his first adventure in his life, from the frozen forest to the dragon god mountain.

"At that time, we had already found a way to deal with that ice field magic position, but no one expected that the dragon patriarch, that old dragon, would come too quickly! I originally thought that we would go for two days, and when he caught up, it would take another day, so that we would have at least three days to escape...... The old dragon came so fast that in less than two and a half days it had caught up with us...... If it weren't for Gandalf......"

Okay, let's turn the clock back to three days again.

The Point: Forgotten Icefields.

Time, three days before the founding of the Roland Empire in the nine hundred and sixtieth anniversary of the National Day.

A terrible storm swept in, and several tornadoes formed a massive, almost terrifying storm mass, enveloping a group of adventuring parties......

"Wind Shelter Needle? This is the Wind Shelter Needle?" Du Wei looked at the landing thing in the QO's hand.

Because, after the QO is opened, there is a long sword with a simple shape inside!

The scabbard is inlaid with seven eye-sized gemstones, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple! Seven kinds of gemstones are inlaid on the scabbard, and the hilt of the sword is densely covered with a circle of strange patterns, which makes it feel very tight and comfortable to hold in the hand.

I don't know how many years this sword is old, but it'...... This is clearly a sword!

"This is the Storm Shelter." I can't be mistaken."

Behind him, the old magician had been staring blankly at the thing, and suddenly, he cried out, "This...... This is the Aragonese Sword!"

"What?" said Du Wei glanced back at the old fellow.

"The colorful gems on the scabbard are actually the seven high-level demonic beasts that Aragorn killed when he traveled to the mainland during his lifetime! This is the most powerful magic blessing weapon in the literature! And it is incomparably sharp and indestructible!" The old magician suddenly became excited:

"This ...... This is the sword of the king! it is the sword of the king of the land left by Aragon!"

Is it a shelter needle? or is it ...... Sword of Kings?!

"Alright!" Du Wei yelled, "Stop talking nonsense! It doesn't matter what kind of sword or storm shield this thing is!

"Quick!" Du Wei had no patience to grind his teeth with the penguin.

"Okay." OQ sighed, and the Master of Aragon told me that if only his missionary could pull it out of this scabbard............"
