The faint sunlight of the snowfield during the day sprinkled through the cracks in the clouds in the sky, crisscrossing in the wind and snow, like a random smear of winter, giving the icy world a delicate temperature.

The swaying snowflakes, dancing freely in the air, float down and land on the snow-covered ground, or are blown by the wind, and rotate non-stop.

In the midst of this snowstorm, the two accompanied Char very intimately to return to the previous snowfield to retrieve the lost luggage.

Char led the way in front of him, and the two followed him not far away.

"Oh, it's cold."

Ranch sighed as he walked out onto the snowy wilderness.

"Isn't it okay to be at this temperature?"

Sid looked at him with a slight mockery.

"Why aren't you afraid of the cold? Obviously, you are also a fourth-order. ”

"Oh, it's cold." (stick reading)

Except for the occasional words between the two, everything around them seemed extremely peaceful, even if there was always a "rustle" sound from the snowflakes raised by the wind, but this continuous murmur was the breathing sound of this snowfield.

After a few minutes, the three of them finally found the location where Char had left his suitcase earlier and began to help him pick it up.

Almost nothing but clothing, a handful of books and small magical objects, and, of course, a similar atlas to Ranchsid's hand, documenting the terrain of the northern part of the Protos Empire.

After entering the Northern Control Zone, there are three provinces directly north.

The province of Box Hill is an important place for transportation.

Not too far from the Box Mountain Province, the snowfield province is dominated by several large city-states, and Chingston City is one of them.

A long distance further north is the Northern Frontier Province.

They are now within the boundaries of the province that has just left Box Mountain and arrived in the province of Snowfield.

"Thank you, both of you, for the trouble."

Char greeted the two of them again, feeling even more ashamed of his previous desertion.

"It's okay, serving the people wholeheartedly is what I should do."

Lan Qi raised his hand slightly and said.

“……”

Char felt for a moment that she should bow deeper.

And he couldn't help but ponder, are the seniors of the Royal Academy of Magic of Protos so friendly?

He had heard that the battle in that academy was extremely fierce and the hearts of the people were cold and ruthless, could it be that times had changed?

Confused, Char thought for a moment, raised his head and carried the box, and exhaled a mouthful of white mist with a sigh.

"Two seniors, if you are doing an elective project, it is better not to go further north, and wait for the railway to be repaired in Chingston City, and then return directly to the imperial capital Herrom."

He admonished heartily, and took a step,

"Maybe it's just my personal superficial judgment, not only is there now open and secret fighting between these city-states in the north that are relatively close to each other, and the security of the province is extremely poor, but the investigation team that came to the imperial capital Herrom a few days ago seems to be to investigate a certain unrest related to the further north."

These two must have gone all the way from the imperial capital to the north, and they did not expect traffic to resume at the beginning like he did, and stayed in the north for a few days.

"How's it going further north?"

Ranch had heard the Imperial Army Captain tell him about this at the Rock Junction train station in Box Mountain Province, but the captain was apparently unaware of the circumstances.

"It may only be known to the lords of a few city-states in the Snow Plains Province, but even if you don't care about it, the north is getting more and more dangerous."

Char shook his head, and walked steadily with Lanchsied in the direction of the city of Censton to the north.

"In addition to the increase in the number of displaced people, the crime rate is also rising sharply, and many people who have not received relief in the city-state have voluntarily or forced to join the criminal organization in the north, the Phantom Party, and the few bandits just now should be outsiders to the Phantom Party."

Ranch heard the words and walked steadily, but pondered.

He remembered that the corpses of the bandits all had octopus-shaped coats of arms or rings, which were probably tokens of the Phantom Party.

"Why are they so rampant?"

Lanch asked in the wind and snow behind.

"The Imperial Army has no spare strength to exterminate them, and several lords of the Snow Plains Province are also not in agreement, and they cannot agree on the distribution of forces, and they have not been able to improve external security for a long time."

Char also felt helpless involuntarily, and after coming to the north in person, he was finally convinced that the south of the empire was much better in terms of security.

"That's right."

At this point, Ranch also understood the situation in the Snow Plains Province.

Now it is equivalent to a mess, and everyone does not want to take care of it, and it is the fairest thing to suffer together.

The main force in the north of the Silent Annihilation Branch is in the Northwest Province with the Imperial Army, if you want to help the nobles of the Snow Plains Province to suppress bandits, you may be able to gain a lot of prestige for the Bishop of Silent Annihilation, but this is undoubtedly a thankless job, the nobles will give the work to the Silent Priests, even if they can succeed in the short term, it will cost many High Clergy, and the Great Clergy is not willing to do this.

Askesan is said to be guarding the northern border province and confronting the northern states, and it is impossible to determine his exact whereabouts due to the slow flow of information.

"You should be from the south, why did you come to the north?"

Earlier, when Char was helping him with his luggage, Ranch and Sid were able to determine where he was from, and even by looking at his outfit, it looked like a lot of southern winter clothes were stacked on top of each other.

"Although I am nominally the eldest son of the Southern Earl's family, I am actually poor...... I came from the Kinston family, and I don't know what kind of person my fiancée is, but she is said to be quite good, and it is easy for her to skip the preparatory department and go straight to school......"

Char lowered her head and snorted, looking embarrassed, and told the two of them about her true situation.

Ranch and Sid looked at each other and immediately understood.

The family has a knighthood, but no money, so it is not bad to join a border aristocratic family with a little strength.

"Aren't you worried that you won't get used to life when you come to the north? Or are the nobles of the north bad for you? ”

West Germany rarely asked.

"When I was a child, I actually met a girl in the imperial capital of Herrom, she was said to be a nobleman in the north, but she was extremely intelligent, elegant, and knowledgeable, and I found my father when I was lost."

Char said as if she remembered something, and her expression became a little soothing.

He has no prejudice against the nobles of the north, and even has a good impression, or in fact, there are good people everywhere and bad people everywhere, and he should not generalize.

Maybe it was after that that he subtly became what he is now, and he didn't want his family to degenerate like his father from generation to generation.

"So she will be your fiancée, Miss Lilith Kinston?"

Ranch added coldly.

"How do you know her name?"

Char was stunned, found Hua Dian, and looked back at Lanchi.

"Of course I know the name of every student at the Royal Academy of Magic of Protos, including those who have not yet enrolled."

Ranch explained earnestly.

“……”

Who in the school will remember all the students' information?

There's always a little bit of a scary feeling.

It's like he gets caught if he makes any mistake in school.

"I don't know, ten years have passed, and now I don't remember what that girl looked like, only that she had bright orange hair, and now she must have become a smart lady."

Char could only shake his head and reply.

Ranch nodded, but didn't say anything.

"To be honest, I like to witness the love stories of boys and girls."

West Germany sighed as he walked.

"Really? Did you know that what I'm best at is helping people pull the red line? ”

Ranch suddenly became energetic, and even his voice was much more excited, as if he couldn't wait to show Sid's hands.

If you say this, he won't be sleepy.

"In this way, you hire the two of us, the price is not expensive, just press the fourth-order bodyguard, and when you get to the lord's mansion, you should always have a butler or attendant who comes with you, otherwise it will be too shabby."

Ranch immediately proposed to Char.

"But I don't have enough money to pay you right now."

Char was pleasantly surprised at first, and then his expression fell again.

It's a pretty lucrative deal.

Indeed, the two of them look extraordinary.

Standing with him, I can't tell who the young master is.

But he didn't have any money.

"You can take credit, and when the time comes, just send it to me and her account in the imperial capital."

Lanch glanced at West Germany.

Sid shrugged his shoulders slightly, obviously no opinion, she is now the fourth order, so the employment fee can be according to the fourth order.

She just felt that this person's flickering was too fluid, and even seemed sincere.

The look in the emerald green eyes is like telling the other person that he will believe you, and you want to believe in his feelings.

So the two of them naturally had an identity that could be followed into the lord's mansion.

“……”

Listen to Lanch's plan.

The cat boss in the shadow only felt a chill.

When I first met Lanchi, I heard him say that he was good at helping others get married.

However, the results ......

It remembered Loren weeping silently in his chair, but because of his credulity in Lanchi, he failed to save the noble high priest, so that it did not dare to go to the Ishrita Academy later, for fear of encountering the high priest and being mistaken for Lanchi's accomplice.

Now, Lanch thinks he's a master of love again.

Stop it, you bastard!!

Don't pollute young people's romantic comedy meows!
