"In other words, do you think this is the result of the influence of magic?" Henry said, and the heat from his mouth became more and more obvious in the light beams that fell through the gaps between the snow-covered branches.
"Well, yes, magic power that reaches a certain level not only affects living organisms, but can also cause wonderful changes in natural phenomena." He was talking to a middle-aged man with a thin face and a big aquiline nose and bulging eyes. He was wearing a purple and black mixed robe. Although he seemed to be chatting with our Mr. Sage normally, his eyes never left Henry himself and Kramer who was standing next to him.
"The so-called elemental magic is to artificially and intentionally release a certain amount of magic to guide, and then produce certain natural phenomena, such as fire, to achieve one's own wishes." The middle-aged man continued with a smile. : "Spells and a series 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 these words from between his dry and cracked lips: "Total amount."
"When this condition is reached, even if no spells are used, some phenomena that are mysterious and difficult to understand by ordinary people and violate the laws of nature will still appear." He said.
"Before the age of magic enlightenment, talented natural magicians were often called freaks and even persecuted. This is the reason why strange things like this often appeared around them." He once again used This uncomfortable way of breaking up the sentence says: "phenomenon."
Henry raised his eyebrows, while Mira next to him stared at this guy warily.
"Excessive overflow of magic power uncontrollably causes some tragic results that even the magician himself is not happy to see. This distinctive feature is that before the age of magic enlightenment, the sages, in order to find capable magician embryos, The only way to prevent them from being persecuted by the ignorant world." The middle-aged man chuckled and said, "Method."
"But I think you know all this, don't you." He said this, and Henry shook his head with a dull expression: "No, I'm not like you. I'm just a mercenary. How can I understand this kind of royal family?" The history of magic can only be understood by magic instructors from the Institute of Mystery and Astrology, Lord Camilo."
"You are being modest again." Padrosi's magic tutor, whom Henry called Camilo, said: "Other people here, including a few of my ignorant apprentices, may not recognize it, but I am fortunate enough to have I’ve seen it in ancient books.”
"The patterns on the sword are like mountains and flowing water, which are rare in the world. And the power it contains is like -" "It was just picked up." Henry's face was not red, and his heart was not beating. Ming Na next to him couldn't help but cover his head. Mouth snickered while Mira rolled her eyes at the sage behind her back.
"Yes, okay." Camilo laughed twice more: "Then let's get back to the topic, in short."
"If the magic power of living organisms reaches a certain level, it will have an impact on natural phenomena." He used this sentence again: "Influence."
"Our mystics initially thought this was a sign of the arrival of the Little Ice Age, but soon, they judged something strange from the records of requests for help from various places recorded by the Imperial Treasury Intelligence Department."
"The northern region, which was supposed to be extremely cold, was hardly affected. Instead, strange things appeared in the Bao Forest area near the southern border of the empire."
"Cool down."
"So, this can only be the result of an individual with powerful magic. Considering that Bagnato-Origina is inaccessible and vast, it can only be that some kind of powerful person was born in it."
"Warcraft."
"In order to solve it and prevent the change of this climate phenomenon, the empire is urgently organizing an annihilation force, but before that, we need more."
"intelligence."
"So I, my Excellency, the head of the Parnilla branch, will take the lead with several apprentices."
"Set off."
"It just so happened that the Ambassador Dame led her team to go south because she was worried about her friends, so it was just right. After discussion, we decided."
"Partnership."
"Yeah." Henry turned back and rubbed Mira's hair. The Luoan girl didn't know why she felt unreasonably angry at the way this man spoke. As his words continued, her little fists became more and more clenched. tight.
"So, you also want to follow in the footsteps of winter to find this monster." Camilo continued: "Do you?"
"" Henry turned around and looked at Mira, then turned back.
The magic instructor noticed that the expression on the face of the tall man in front of him had changed. Although it was still calm, there was a serious look in his gray-blue eyes with a color that he was very familiar with.
"That's not a monster, Lord Camilo."
""
The thin-faced magic instructor listened silently to Henry's concise narrative, and as the sage spoke, his expression gradually became gloomy.
"This is a big deal." Camilo said, biting his thumbnail, and several of his students looked at each other.
"No, I have to go back. The people above have no idea what they are dealing with. No, no, no, no, no, I have to go back immediately." He walked back and forth, stamping the slush on the ground. , finally turned around and nodded towards Ming Na, then pointed at his students and followers and asked them to prepare the four-wheeled carriage with a purple and black mixed flag, obviously without stopping. Just plan to go back.
"Oh, right." Before getting in the car, Camilo turned back to Henry and smiled again.
"I will keep your information confidential."
"After all, curiosity is the nature of a magician, and I won't let anything else bother me to find out the truth." He looked at the sage and then glanced at the big sword next to him, the fire in his eyes Mira, who was just standing next to him, felt a chill - and Camilo then finished the sentence with his strange staccato: "The road."
"Then, I'm leaving." The magic instructor said this, and then urged his servant to drive the carriage through the melting snow and headed towards the north again.
"What a weirdo." The Luoan girl said this, but Camilo and his entourage who came and went in a hurry also revealed some other information. Apparently unknown to them, the empire's top officials were also alert to this, and had already dispatched assistance troops.
On the bright side, the fleet carrying aid supplies from Parnilla should have departed earlier than Margaret imagined, because they did not wait until they received the eldest lady's request for help before making emergency preparations. of.
But think about the bad side.
The scale of the cold wave was so great that even the imperial capital was alerted, and the so-called "requests for help from various places" showed that not only their area was affected.
Such an opponent.
How to defeat it?
Perhaps only her teacher had the answer to this question. Mira looked at Henry's back, and before the sound of Camilo's carriage had faded away, Henry continued to talk to Minna.
As the special envoy of the United Kingdom of Avenella and Loan, the blond lady successfully reached an agreement with the seaport of Parnilla and established a basic maritime trade relationship between the kingdom and the Padrosi Empire. The tide has also risen.
In the few months since Henry and Mira left Parnilla, Avenella sent quite a lot of talents here through ship exchanges. It was unimaginable in the past to be able to bypass the Sivalier people who always disliked them and communicate directly with more outstanding overseas countries.
In the trade exchanges between the two countries, the old nobles in Avenella, like Ashberon II in the past, were just content to show off the materials they obtained from the great empire.
The target has changed from Otolo to Padrosi, but the behavior has not changed in essence.
The symbol of national prosperity is the establishment of trade cooperation relationships with powerful empires, and for this they can obtain outstanding handicrafts and luxury goods from foreign countries. Edward could no longer change the stubborn ideas of these older generation of Avenella nobles, even as the king.
But he deeply understands that the future rests on young people. If this kingdom, which has become stronger but still small, can retain everything it currently has and even acquire more in the future, talents are indispensable. .
Generations of outstanding young people from Avenella and Luoan were sent to Parnilla, and under the command and coordination of Minna, they tried to enter various colleges and various places in this port city.
And now the large number of longbowmen led by the blond lady are some of the outstanding young people.
Among them were the Sivaliers with black hair, the Aveneras with golden hair, and the Loans with white hair.
This was the prototype of the national equality envisioned by Edward. Although it was just in its infancy, Henry also saw the ambition of the prince, the king.
Just surviving in the cracks is not worthy of Edward's grace. If he was only at this level, the sage would not choose to support this person at the beginning.
This group of young people with different colors and looks but speaking the same language represents the future of Avenella.
A strong and unified country, although today it is still small and caught between two powers. But even so, even in such a gap, he, they, all these people, these suffering people of Loan, Sivalier and Avenella, will still hold on tightly to the only He didn't let go of the slightest bit of hope, and kept climbing upwards.
They represent a glorious future. It is true that they started it as a help, but it is those people who really want to continue on this road.
A country that is unified and strong, where people live and work in peace and contentment, and there is healthy competition among equals.
one.
West Coast Empire.
"I'm very happy. My choice was not wrong. Edward is indeed a leader with sufficient capacity and talent, and an outstanding prince." Henry said this. Although Edward was already the king, he didn't know anything about it. Someone of his stature would self-righteously open his mouth to correct this.
"And now."
"It's time for us to save the other one." He looked past the friendly forces in front of him who finally met each other, and looked straight into the depths of the east side of Ba'ao Forest.
