"In other words, you think it's the result of magical influence?" said Henry, the heat of his mouth becoming more and more evident in the pillars of light that fell through the gaps in the snow-covered branches.

"Well, yes, reaching a certain level of magic not only has an effect on living organisms, but can also cause wonderful changes in natural phenomena. He was conversed by a middle-aged man with a thin face with a large hooked nose and protruding eyes, dressed in a purple and black robe, and though he seemed to be chatting with our Sage in an ordinary way, his eyes never took off Henry himself and Kramer, who was placed beside him.

"The so-called elemental magic is the artificial and deliberate release of a certain amount of magic power to guide, and then produce certain natural phenomena, such as fire and the like, to achieve their own wishes. The middle-aged man smiled and continued, "Spells and a host of other additional means can provide some assistance in this process, but in the end, there is only one thing that really matters. ”

"Magical. He spat out the words from between his dry, cracked lips, "Total." ”

"When this condition is met, even if the spell is not used, some phenomena that violate the laws of nature that are mysterious and difficult for ordinary people to understand will still be. He said, "Appear." ”

"Before the Age of Magical Enlightenment, gifted natural magicians were often called freaks and even persecuted by everyone, and that's why they were often surrounded by such strange things. Again, he said in this uncomfortable way of breaking sentences: "Phenomenon. ”

Henry raised an eyebrow, while Mira, who was next to her, stared at the guy with a wary expression.

"The uncontrollable overflow of magic that caused some tragic results that even the magicians themselves were not happy to see was the only distinguishing feature of the sages who sought out capable magician embryos before the Age of Magical Enlightenment and avoided their persecution by the ignorant world. The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Method." ”

"But I think you know all of that, don't you. He said this, and Henry shook his head with a flat expression: "No, I'm not like you, how can I, who is just a mercenary, know this kind of history of magic that only the magic teachers of the Royal Secret and Astrological Institute will know, Lord Camilo." ”

"You're being humble again. Mentor Padrossi, whom Henry called Camilo, said, "The rest of the people here, including a few of my ignorant apprentices, may not recognize them, but I have the privilege of seeing them in ancient books. ”

"The pattern on the sword is like a mountain and flowing water, which is rare in the world. And the power it contained was like—" "It was just picked up. Henry's face was not red and his heart was not beating, Minna next to him couldn't help but cover her mouth and snicker, while Mira shook the sage behind her back and rolled her eyes.

"yes, okay. Camilo chuckled twice: "So back to business, all in all." ”

"If the magic of living organisms reaches a certain level, it will produce natural phenomena. Again, he used the following sentence: "Impact." ”

"Our secret envoys initially thought that this was a harbinger of the arrival of the Xiaoice River period, but soon, from the records of the intelligence department of the Imperial Ministry of Finance, the requests for help in various places were judged to be strange. ”

"The northern region, which should have been cold, was hardly affected, but there was a strange situation in the area of the Baao Forest, near the southern border of the empire. ”

"Cool down. ”

"So, it could only be the result of a magically powerful individual, and given the inaccessibility and vastness of Bagnato Originna, it could only be that something powerful was born out of it. ”

"Warcraft. ”

"In order to get rid of it and stop the change in this climate phenomenon, the Empire is urgently organizing annihilation forces, but before that, we need more. ”

"Intelligence. ”

"So the contemptible man of the head of the Parnila branch, with a number of apprentices, took the lead. ”

"Let's go. ”

"It just so happened that the ambassador and the lady wanted to go south because she was worried about her friend, so it was just right, and after discussion, we decided. ”

"Companions. ”

"Hmm. Henry turned back and rubbed Mira's hair, and the girl felt an unprovoked anger at the way the man spoke, and her little fists clenched tighter and tighter as he spoke.

"So, you also want to follow in the footsteps of winter and go in search of this beast. Camilo continued, "Yes?"

"......" Henry glanced back at Mira, then turned around.

The magic master noticed a change in the expression on the face of the tall man in front of him, although he was still unfazed, but there was a serious expression in his gray-blue eyes with a color that he was extremely familiar with.

"That's not a monster, Lord Camilo. ”

“.......”

The emaciated wizard listened in silence to Henry's succinct narration, and his expression grew gloomy as the sage's words grew.

"It's a big deal. Camilo said as he bit his thumb nails, and several of his students looked at each other.

"No, I have to rush back, the people above don't know what they have to deal with, no, no, no, no, I'll rush back immediately. He paced back and forth to trample the slush on the ground, then turned and nodded to Minna, then pointed to his students and retinue to get them ready for the four-wheeled carriage with the purple and black flags, apparently intending to rush back without stopping.

"Oh yes. Before getting into the car, Camilo turned to Henry and smiled again.

"Your message, I will keep it a secret. ”

"After all, curiosity is in the nature of magicians, and I won't let anything else bother me to find out the truth. He looked at the sage and glanced at the great sword beside him, and the heat in his eyes sent a chill down the sleeve of Mira, who was standing next to him—and Camillo then finished the sentence in his strange sentence: "The road." ”

"So, I'm leaving. The magician said this, and then urged his servant to drive the carriage through the melting snow and head back towards the north.

"What a weirdo. Miss Luo said this, but Camilo and his party, who came and went in a hurry, also revealed some other news. Apparently the upper echelons of the Empire were also alarmed by this in places they did not know, and had already sent troops to help.

On the plus side, the convoy carrying aid from Parniera should have departed sooner than Margaret had thought, as they didn't wait until they received a letter from the eldest lady asking for help.

But think about the bad side.

The scale of the cold wave has become so large that even the imperial capital is alarmed, and the so-called "calls for help from all over the world" indicate that it is not only their area that is affected.

Such opponents.

How do you beat it?

The answer to this question may only be her own teacher, and Mira looked at Henry's back, and while the sound of the carriage on Camilo's side had not yet passed, Henry continued to talk to Minna.

As an envoy to the United Kingdom of Avenella and Loan, the blonde dame rose to prominence after successfully settling an agreement with the seaport of Parnilla and establishing a basic maritime trade relationship with the Padrossi Empire.

In the months that Henry and Mira had left Palneira, Avenella had sent quite a few talents to this side through ship exchanges. The opportunity to bypass the Sivaliers, who are not always good for them, and to communicate directly with a better overseas country would have been unimaginable in the past.

The trade between the two countries, the old nobles of Avenella, like Ahibon II in the past, were content to show off the material goods they had acquired from the great empire.

The subject changed from Ottolo to Padrosi, but his behavior did not change in substance.

The symbol of national power was the establishment of trade relations with powerful empires, and for this they obtained foreign crafts and luxury goods. The stubborn ideas of the older generation of Arvenella nobles could not be changed, even as he was king.

But he deeply understands that the future is pinned on young people, and that talent is indispensable if this kingdom, which is strong but still small, can keep everything it has so far and even acquire more in the future.

Generations of brilliant young people of Avenella and Loan were sent to Parnira to try to attend various colleges and places in the port city under Minna's command and coordination.

And now the blonde lady, with this large number of longbowmen, is some of the outstanding young people.

Among them were the black-haired Sivaliers, the golden-haired Avenella, and the white-haired Loans.

This was the prototype of Edward's vision of national equality, and although it was just beginning, in it Henry also saw the ambition of the prince, the king.

Just surviving in the cracks is not worthy of Edward's strength. If he had only had this level, the sage would not have chosen to support this person in the first place.

This group of young people of different colors and appearances, but who speak the same language, represents the future of Avenella.

A strong and united country, though still small and caught between two powers. But even so, even in the midst of this, he, they, all of them, the suffering people of Loan, Sivalier, and Yavenella, still clinged to the glimmer of hope and climbed upward.

They represent a glorious future, and it is true that they have started it as a help, but it is the people themselves who really want to go down this road.

A unified and strong country where the people live and work in peace and contentment, and where there is healthy competition on an equal footing.

One.

West Coast Empire.

"I'm glad that I made the right choice, Edward is indeed a leader with enough strength and talent, a wonderful prince. Henry said this, and even though Edward was already king, no one who knew his identity would be self-righteous enough to correct this.

"And then now. ”

"It's time for us to save the other one. He walked past the allies in front of him, and looked straight into the depths of the eastern side of the Bao Forest.
