The streets and alleys throughout the northern territory were covered with red reward notices.
The portrait painted on the reward is none other than Victor!
Many wanted posters were even waved in the air, flying with the heavy snow.
Because the person Victor beat was the great knight guarding the north, Earl Angus.
Rumors have spread among the people, saying that Victor beat Angus into a vegetative state, and he still hasn't recovered after a day.
The heir to the Delin family was seriously injured and is still in a coma. This incident caused a stir throughout Northern Xinjiang.
From the gentry in northern Xinjiang to the common people.
This matter was quickly spread from the spies to the royal capital, and in less than half a day, it spread throughout the entire royal capital.
The ministers were naturally particularly concerned, after all, this matter was too mysterious.
It's not the point that Victor fought with Count Angus, but the problem lies after this battle.
Victor actually defeated Earl Angus.
Of course it doesn't matter if you win.
But he actually beat people into unconsciousness!
But being delirious can be considered a trivial matter.
But Angus is Victor’s father-in-law!
This, this fucking...
When this news reached the royal family, Oberly frowned slightly.
He has never encountered such a distressing situation in the decades since he took office.
Oberly looked at them, waved his hands, and asked:
"Does Gwen know about this?"
"Knight Commander Gwen is already on his way."
A minister quickly answered.
After these words, the entire court fell into silence for a long time.
Victor did go a bit too far in this matter.
Generally speaking, nobles who already have opinions on Victor will naturally take advantage of this juncture to criticize Victor and find fault with him.
But the problem is...
Victor is now in the limelight and deeply loved by the emperor.
As everyone knows, the Cravenas family made trouble three times in the palace, but the old emperor just smiled and watched what happened and never intervened.
Not even his own son and nephew were protected.
What's more, the topic that Victor just proposed some time ago, that thing called 'copy', even the emperor himself showed his full support and expectations.
So in this matter, even if Victor did something wrong.
No one dared to go up and say anything wrong about him.
Emperor Aubrey tapped his fingers with thick ruby rings on the throne and sighed deeply.
"Angus leads the Northern Knights and is responsible for guarding the north."
"If he is really insane, then his title can only be inherited by his heir."
At this point, the others were silent again.
Heir?
Angus's heir is going to be disabled. Are you sure he can still inherit Angus's position?
So who can inherit the Delin family in the end?
Angus has three children, among whom Kefla is well known to many people.
As a politician, she is not a knight, so she certainly cannot lead those northern knights.
Who is the only person who is still qualified to inherit the Delin family?
Everyone suddenly thought of a name.
Gwen Dehlin.
"..."
For a time, the ministers' faces became much darker, they became more silent, and even their breathing seemed to slow down a lot.
They even wondered whether Victor's attack on Angus was caused by the Emperor deliberately asking him to do so.
Gwen is Victor's fiancée.
If Gwen inherits the Delin family, then Gwen ends up marrying Victor.
The two earls became one family.
"this……"
Victor's power will become stronger, and if one of the two princes obtains this information, it may directly establish the future throne.
But the problem is...
Victor is the princess's teacher.
And there is a more important question.
If Victor gets the knightly background and powerful power of the Delin family, can the future monarch really suppress him?
They were no longer allowed to think about what happened next. It was already disrespectful to the future monarch.
They couldn't continue to think or figure out what was going on in the head of this frail old emperor.
"Your Majesty, Knight Commander Gwen has arrived."
A eunuch hurried to the emperor's side and reported softly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Gwen was wearing silver armor with a cold light.
She held her knight's helmet in her left hand, held her chest high and raised her head, and walked into the hall with high spirits.
"His Majesty."
The ministers present all focused their attention on Gwen, but felt a cold majesty and shock from her body.
His face was extremely gloomy, and the space between his eyebrows seemed to contain the extreme frost of Northern Xinjiang.
She stood in front of the emperor and bowed slightly.
The emperor waved his hands indifferently and said calmly:
"Gwen, you should know about things in the north."
Victor's wanted order spread across the north overnight, and countless knights were searching for his whereabouts.
She had already learned about this in Kefla's reply.
Gwen did not respond, but obviously, everyone knew that this knight already knew everything.
The emperor looked at her and continued to ask;
"You are Victor's fiancée. Logically speaking, this matter should be handled as a family matter, and it's not for me to interfere."
Then, Oberly chuckled twice.
"However, after what happened, can you and Victor really maintain this engagement?"
As soon as these words came out, many people couldn't help but think about the emperor's intentions.
He was letting Gwen make a choice.
Now you are Victor’s fiancée.
Your fiancé beat your father. This is a family matter between you and it does not rise to a more serious level.
But if your engagement is broken off.
Then, it was Victor who maliciously united with the northern barbarians to attack Angus, the great knight of the north.
The empire can naturally send out troops to capture Victor.
By then, business will be done, and the royal family will investigate the matter thoroughly.
After that, the engagement between the two naturally could not be maintained.
Angus could not wake up, and his heir was seriously injured and disabled.
Gwen returned to the North to become her earl and guard the North in place of her father.
As for Victor?
As long as he is not found guilty, he will still be the teacher of the earl and princess.
It seems that the emperor is still sane, although his being alive does shock Victor.
But the future monarch may not be able to control the two earls with military strength.
Many people thought about the emperor's deep meaning.
So next, it’s up to Gwen’s choice.
Gwen responded quickly without even a moment's hesitation.
There was no change in her expression, as if she was recounting a trivial incident.
"Your Majesty, I am here to ask you to step down from my position as the Royal Knight Commander."
As soon as these words came out, the entire hall was filled with screams of shock, setting off a wave of shock.
Gwen herself has extremely strong strength and excellent abilities. The official position of Knight Commander was even appointed by the emperor.
But now, she actually plans to step down from her position?
Are you really planning to go home and inherit the inheritance? ?
The emperor smiled after listening to Gwen's answer.
"Oh? Tell me."
Gwen looked cold.
"Victor is my fiancé. As long as he has no intention of canceling it, our engagement will still be valid."
"So, I'm going to find him myself and ask him everything."
The justice in her heart makes her never cover up anyone. Once Gwen finds out that this incident is really Victor's fault, then...
"I will challenge him, even if it is impossible for me to defeat him."
There was absolute determination in Gwen's eyes, unwavering at all.
"Even if I die by his hands."
Act for justice and be responsible for goodness.
Gwen is righteous, but her justice is never stubborn or absolute.
She will not arbitrarily judge the good and bad, good and evil of others based on their appearance.
Everything in the world has two sides, and she is willing to sacrifice her life for all injustices.
This is the small amount of justice that Gwen feels.
After saying that, she ignored the horrified looks of everyone around her and just dragged her heavy armor and bowed deeply to the emperor.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Gwen turned around and slowly left outside the hall. The bright but scorching light shone on Gwen's armor, shining brightly.
At this moment, Gwen was like an angel washing away the dust.
More like a stubborn beast, slowly walking towards the depths of a ray of light.
Just to implement that——
Justice in the heart.
.......
The wind and snow in the north are freezing cold after all.
Vega curled up his feathers in dissatisfaction. Even though he was not afraid of the severe cold, the violent wind always messed up his feathers.
Damn it, Victor didn't even want to give it a wind-avoiding magic, even though it had helped Victor so much.
Suddenly, Victor stopped in the middle of the blizzard.
"Hey, why don't you leave?"
Vega screamed in dissatisfaction, but Victor ignored its tearing screams and just looked ahead quietly.
It was extremely dark in the distance. Under the snow and wind, there seemed to be a tribe burning with fire.
In this remote place where the cold wind howls, there are actually places to set up camp and light fires.
The bright red flag fluttering in the wind and snow was sewn with a huge sword burning with flames.
Weijia also saw the stockade in the distance and was a little curious.
"Look at the flag above, that's the territory of [Flaming Sword]."
Victor said calmly.
[Flame Sword] is one of the two largest barbarian tribes in the far north.
This group of people is located in remote border areas. They are followers of the Fire Giant, the terrifying giant with the power of a demigod.
They always believe in endless struggle and the power of ever-burning fire.
Those barbarians, as believers of the Fire Giant, had the power to fear cold and fire because of the care of the ancient giant.
This is why these barbarians can continue to live here for many years.
"It seems like just a small sub-tribe."
Vega said with narrowed eyes.
"Barbarians are not a good thing, but I need them to find a way for me."
Victor said calmly, a white formation suddenly formed under his feet, and a floating magic acted on him.
Victor slowly floated over the tribe.
At this time, Victor saw it more clearly.
The tribe below is constantly burning with blazing flames, and many animal skins are piled together. Even the roofs of the houses are made of furs sewn together from various animal skins.
Victor slowly held a red formation in his hand and muttered an obscure spell.
Soon, a striking and terrifying fiery red appeared between the clouds.
The majesty and high temperature seemed to burn the entire sky.
[Level 4 Magic: Burning Sky]
In an instant, the wind and snow above the tribe gradually subsided, replaced by incomparable heat.
Flame pythons kept falling from the sky, bombarding the huge stockade.
Suddenly, the flames ignited half of the sky, and the entire earth began to crack.
A large group of men with weapons came out of the tribe. They were covered in red hair, like uncivilized beasts.
They gathered together, chirping something toward Victor in the sky.
Victor waved his finger, and a ferocious flame python suddenly fell towards the crowd.
The endless flames suddenly swallowed up the crowd.
Thousands of barbarians were ignited with flames, and they were flying in all directions, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies.
But, in the end, it’s to no avail.
As each barbarian turned into charcoal and fell into the wind and snow, the entire village fell into silence.
All that could be heard was the crackle of the flames burning the building.
Victor looked at the tragic scene, slowly fell down, and stared at a barbarian trembling in the flames.
He huddled in the flames, staring at Victor with endless fear in his eyes.
And those flames didn't seem to burn him at all.
Victor looked at him indifferently and said slowly;
"Luckily, I just found you in the first tribe."
"Temple qualified person."
