In the land of wind and snow, Vladimir wears a thick fur coat.

With a cigar in his mouth, he stepped through layers of snow to the door of the Pale Magi.

Erica removed her hood, revealing her long blond hair, waving in the air in the wind and snow.

The long journey of many days was also a test for Erica.

Her face had lost a lot of weight, her body seemed to have shrunk a little, and her eyes looked a little sunken.

But there was still a sparkle in his eyes.

Every day, they walk hundreds of kilometers.

To save time, the team didn't even have extra time to rest.

Starting from the royal capital, for five consecutive days, Erica has been on horseback, enduring the erosion of wind and rain.

After this baptism, she seems to have become much stronger.

Seeing the old man who came forward, Erica rolled over, got off the back of the white horse, and saluted him respectfully.

"Uncle Vladimir."

She recognized the person in front of her.

Vladimir Lebedev, the president of the Pale Magi, was also a close friend of his father.

It stands to reason that Erica should call this person uncle.

Vladimir can be friends with the duke, and his natural status is not ordinary.

He was a general stationed in the northern frontier of the Empire.

The old man seemed to be very laid-back, took a sharp puff on some cigars in his hand, and spat in circles in the air.

He looked at Erica, looked up and down, and smirked.

"The little girl of the Levi family is not bad."

"I actually got here on horseback alone."

Seeing Vladimir nodding his head, Erica knew that she had passed the entrance test of the Wizarding Society.

"Hmmm! Dick, take them back first. ”

"Let them all have a good rest, and tonight, give them the wind and dust!"

The deputy nodded, led Erica's white horse, and left with a group of magicians escorting Erica.

Vladimir patted Erica on the shoulder, put away his cigar, turned his head and blew a puff of smoke into the air before turning to Erica again and saying:

"Would you like to take a tour?"

Although Erica was a little tired, it was really difficult to refuse the elder's invitation, and nodded.

Moreover, she also happened to want to see what kind of demeanor this is known as one of the two major forces in the north, and what kind of demeanor it has under its territory.

Soon, Erica followed behind Vladimir, looking around curiously.

This is a view that you will never see in the royal capital.

Many of the buildings are made of natural materials made of white marble mixed with ice chips, which are hard yet glistening in the sun.

Erica looked at the huge building, and the initial exhaustion disappeared.

Everything here is amazing.

It is like a perfect palace on the snowfield, mysterious and holy in the wind and snow.

"Anyway, it's pretty enough, isn't it?"

Vladimir said with a smile, as if Erica's reaction was in his anticipation.

"However, this is the border of the empire after all, and it is not as rich as the royal capital."

"There's something new like yours that we don't have here."

Erica shook her head and said with a smile:

"I know, uncle."

Erica knew that she had come here to experience, not to enjoy.

As they spoke, they walked to a large wooden house.

Here, under this ice palace, it looks very out of place.

At first glance, I saw a wooden sign hanging from the eaves, on which a huge wine glass was drawn.

"It's almost time to shop, I'll arrange a room for you in a while, and rest for the night."

Vladimir looked at the cabin in front of him and smiled, not knowing if it was because he liked the tavern too much, or because Erica had just called him uncle.

As soon as he pushed the door, a wave of heat rushed in his face.

The inside and outside of the tavern seem to be two worlds, and the lights in the tavern are very warm, and many people gather around the table, touching each other's glasses and playing games.

Erica had never been to a tavern, let alone imagined that this would be such a scene.

Seeing Vladimir's arrival, many people invariably stopped what they were doing.

They raised their glasses at the same time and greeted the old general.

"General, would you like to have a drink together?"

"Put your gadgets down! If the general wants to drink, it must be about drinking in a bucket! ”

"Hahahaha!"

Erica was still a little nervous, but Vladimir laughed on the sidelines.

"Don't scare this junior."

The magicians saw Erica behind them and were puzzled.

"Hey, we still have such a little girl with such fine skin and tender meat?"

"He looks white and pure, not like the people of Northern Xinjiang."

Vladimir seemed to be a little proud and introduced:

"This is the daughter of a friend of mine in the royal capital."

"She's a real genius."

The other magicians began to look at Erica with interest, a little incredulous.

In the eyes of these sturdy magicians, where can a little girl with fine skin and tender flesh be a genius?

But listen to Vladimir continue to boast.

"Seventeen years old, second-order mage."

Suddenly, an extremely loud cry erupted in the entire tavern, and even the bottles on the wine shelves trembled.

"it!?"

"Second Order Mage?"

There were many people present, and among them were all kinds of magicians and mages.

They were basically in their thirties and forties, and they had been stuck above the level of second-order mages for a long time.

Even some mages have not taken many years to break through to the second order.

As a result, the little girl, whom they could not afford very much, was already on an equal footing with them on the ladder.

"It's broken! She's a real genius. ”

"I have low self-esteem."

"It's worthy of being a friend of the general, my daughter's talent is so outstanding."

Listening to the exclamations and praises of this group of enthusiastic and heroic magicians, Erica couldn't help but lower her head, her cheeks were slightly red, and she seemed to be a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Vladimir waved his hand at the gang.

"Alright, fuck off, drink yours."

"The little girl is here to practice, not to brag about your big men."

The prime-aged men laughed and continued their game.

"Amelia!"

Vladimir suddenly snorted into the tavern, and Erica silently covered her ears.

A woman slowly walked out of the tavern bar.

Her skin was snow-white, a standard Northerner, one eye was covered by a black blindfold, and her mouth seemed to hold something.

It wasn't smoke, Erica knew it well.

On her lower abdomen, which was exposed under her clothes, Erica could still see several deep scars, which were shocking.

"What are you yelling about, don't you know how loud you are?"

Vladimir was unimpressed and laughed heroically.

"Go and make a good place for this little girl, and don't forget to get a hot bath for her."

Amelia sighed and flicked a glance at Erica.

"Come with me."

Erica glanced at Vladimir.

The old man gave her a reassuring look.

Erica followed the woman and followed her behind a door at the back of the tavern.

After the two left, the group of men circled around Vladimir, asking this and that.

"General, who is that little girl?"

"The 17-year-old second order is too fierce, I can't even think about it."

"Damn, if my son has her ability, I will go directly to burn high incense on my ancestors."

Vladimir snorted and slapped the men in the neck.

"Don't ask around, people's identities are not ordinary."

The old man found a wooden stool and dragged it to sit down, and a magician saw the president sit down, and directly brought a huge wooden barrel, which was full of wheat wine, and placed it in front of the old man.

Vladimir lifted the bucket and poured a few sips directly into his mouth.

After two sips, his face did not change, and he continued to ask:

"You all know Victor on the wanted warrant?"

"Harm, that's why you don't understand, general."

A person came to the scene and said eloquently.

"It's very powerful that you brought that little girl, she was already a second-order mage at the age of 17, but compared to others, it was far behind."

"Twenty-nine-year-old fourth-order mage! In the entire empire, even if you look through history, you can't find a fourth-order mage younger than him! ”

As he spoke, he became even more proud.

It's as if the person he was talking about was himself.

Vladimir listened, his eyes brightening more and more.

This kid sounds like he's got a lot of words.

He became more and more interested in Victor, whom he had not yet met.

And most importantly, he also paralyzed that old thing from Angus.

Even if he took action himself, he might not be able to beat Angus like that.

"The lad is good, I admire him."

As for the appreciation of Victor, to what extent?

Vladimir even wanted to give him the kind of appreciation that he should give him a wife.

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have a daughter himself.

However, he has a friend who does.

The kid in the Rivi family, he thinks it's pretty good.

He is polite and a genius.

Age? Age is naturally not an issue.

"By the way, how did that old thing Angus mess with him?"

While inquiring, the old man picked up the barrel again, took a sip of wine, and looked at the gentlemen on the side looking at each other.

And only then did they answer this question to Vladimir.

"Angus, it's his father-in-law."

"Huh?"
