"Thank you, my friend, for the success of the troops in the Iron Ring City this time, thanks to your strategy. ”

The three hundred castle guards of the Ring City had already assembled in the square, and on the one hand, Rhodes did not forget to thank the master in front of him. Well...... He is a little shorter, but it is undeniable that his mind is much smarter than the average person.

"Thank you for the compliment, no one in the Ring City has ever complimented me like this. But, you know, it's a secret between us. ”

Alves laughed. The Iron Sanitation Team gathered behind him, and the iron armor trembled in unison. Rhodes loved the sound, the sound of swords and conquests, and the survival of humanity on this bloody and dark continent was steel and fire, discipline and faith. This neat formation gave Rhodes some hope to a greater or lesser extent. Although there is still a considerable gap between these local armed forces and the regular army of the kingdom.

"I know, secret. Rod laughed, "You're not going with me?"

"No, the Ring City needs a treasurer, and I can't leave for a day. Besides, no one would want a dwarf to lead them in battle. You see, I can't even ride a horse. ”

Alves joked to himself. Rod's face couldn't help but become heavy.

"When they fight, I will provide them with rations and salaries, and when they return in triumph, I will give them a ceremony of victory, and you see, all this cannot be done without me. ”

Seeing that Rod was a little heavy-hearted, Alves quipped again. At the same time, the topic was changed -

"By the way, that Frost Witch next to you, you have to be careful. Caterina, the Ice Queen, assigned the Frost Witches to various castles and towns, and asked them to assist the local lords, not to let them run around. ”

"I know, but Caroline she did it voluntarily, a childish little girl. I can't control her. Even her father couldn't control her. ”

Rod returned in embarrassment.

It is true, he once advised her not to mix blindly, but Caroline didn't listen, maybe she had been in the Kislev School of Magic for too long, and she had no contact with the outside world, and when she arrived in her father's territory, she could do whatever she wanted. Like a bird in a golden cage, once you escape from that prison, you are always curious about the outside world. Human curiosity and thirst for knowledge are always endless.

"That's the trouble, it's okay if nothing happens, and in the future, if something happens, you and Varel will be responsible. ”

Alves persuaded.

"Let's talk about it then, anyway, when the evil moon comes, Blackhammer Castle just needs a magician. ”

Rhodes returned.

In fact, the stakes in this have long been known by Rod. After completing her studies, the Frost Witch will be placed in the realm of various noble lords, either as their wives, mistresses, or advisors. This may seem like a reward for various noble lords, but it is actually one of the means by which the Ice Queen rules the kingdom.

While studying at the Kislev School of Magic and mastering ice magic, the Frost Witches are brainwashed by the instructors of the Academy of Magic, telling them to be loyal to the Queen and the kingdom. This notion was implanted in their minds and minds during their long learning careers, making each witch an ardent witch advocate.

After graduating, these witches were assigned to the side of various noble lords, and it seemed that they had arranged a beautiful and generous wife or lover for these noble lords, but in fact they played a monitoring role. Once a local lord has the idea of rebellion, the first to know, and the first to stop, is the Frost Witch by his side.

If the Frost Witch's personal powers can't stop her husband or lover's betrayal, she can also report this information to the Ice Queen in the capital. Caterina will be the first to know the information. As a result, the regular army of the kingdom will be the first to march to the lord's territory and pull the traitor who tried to rebel against the queen from the lord's throne.

Therefore, the Frost Witch is not only a sharp blade but also a pair of eyes for the Ice Queen. That's why the Frost Witch makes the Ice Queen pay so much attention.

Some of the high-ranking Frost Witches will even be directly involved in discussions about the Kingdom's core issues. They are loyal servants of the Queen, loyal warriors.

But Rhodes also knew that Caroline's condition was not serious, although she was a Frost Witch, she also graduated from the Kislev School of Magic. However, she was only a third-order wizard. It wasn't of much value, and the reason why she was sent home to assist her father after completing her studies, Rod guessed, was only one reason - Heidelberg was too young. The land of projectiles, and on the edge of the desolate north. Even if such a lord rebels, the Ice Queen doesn't care. Just send a small team to destroy Varel. So, in the name of it, he sent his daughter back to his castle. It means that the kingdom still cares about them.

Of course, if Caroline is a high-ranking witch, then she won't be able to return home so easily.

In Kislev, there are many Frost Witches, but there are not many Witches who are truly lethal. The whole can be roughly divided into ten levels. Wizard apprentices are the lowest level of wizards, and first-order wizards are gifted children who have just been selected from the civilian pile, and they have no way to control their magic power, and must go through a long period of study in the magic academy to control the direction of ice energy. Second-order wizards are those witch apprentices who have already mastered the preliminary spells and can cast some minor spells. They can freeze the water in the water cup and make their hands produce frost crystals, but they are not up to the level of casting ice arrows. These witches make up the vast majority of the entire witch team.

And then there's the adult witch like Caroline, who has already graduated. They have a certain amount of combat power, and they can rub an ice arrow, a frost ring or something. However, they all need to be "read by" to cast spells, and they can't do instantaneous spells. These witches make up thirty percent of the entire witch team.

Further up, the fourth, fifth, and sixth Frost Witches need to have deeper talents, and the Frost Witches above the seventh rank need to go through trials to achieve. They were the Queen's personal bodyguards and were sometimes directly involved in the politics and military of the kingdom. This belongs to the extremely precious witch members. They are proud and beautiful, their skin is white and cold, and if they want to, any man who approaches them will be frozen into ice sculptures. Sometimes it can even freeze the surface of the lake and cause a snowstorm in the sky. This is the Queen's terrifying spell force. Of course, their numbers are extremely scarce, only a handful. The Ice Queen herself, on the other hand, belongs to the tenth-order witch, the legendary Frost Witch.
