The blizzard was still going on, and it was getting more and more intense, and the cold north wind, which could already be described as a violent wind, carried goose feathers of snowflakes and rolled up ice cubes, whistling and sweeping across the snowfields, and the outside world was dark and terrifying, and the visibility was almost zero except for the wind and snow in front of me.Frost and Snow City stands like an island about to be swallowed up by cold and darkness, the lights of the city are dim and crumbling in the wind, and the lights that represent human civilization emit a little insignificant temperature, guarding the city in this dark world that seems to be frozen.Even the heavy walls could not stop the pervasive invasion of the blizzard, and the wind and snow blew into the city through every gap between the walls, causing every street in the fortress city to gradually freeze, and the soldiers who stood at the sentry posts looked at the outside world through the observation window uneasily, and no matter how much strong wine was poured, the thick and almost substantial ominous aura could not dissipate from their hearts.However, in the mountaintop inn of Frost Snow City, Leah's gaze pierced through the darkness and wind and snow outside, and she seemed to be able to look directly at the rising evil aura in the distance, and as far as her eyes could see, a blank space clearly appeared in the blizzard, and both the wind and the snowflakes avoided her gaze in awe."
Where is that direction?"
Hao Ren and Leah also looked in the same direction, and tapped the data terminal on his shoulder."
Comparing with the map......
Emperor Dragons was in that direction.Another: The Aerial Detection Probe has sensed anomalous energy fluctuations in the Imperial Capital at the same time, and the energy readings are still rising. ”"That's right, it's the reaction of the Lord of Madness, although it's very small, but the level has reached the 'Origin' level," Leah suddenly turned her head, with a hint of pale golden light in her eyes, "In this capital of the Dragongon Empire, as we speculated, the so-called Dragon Soul Emperor has nothing to do with this matter, he ......
Well?
”Leah frowned, and at the same time, the aura that burst out of the air disappeared silently as it appeared.Vivien didn't react for a moment: "The breath of the Lord of the Crazy Hustle......
Gone?
”Hao Ren knocked on the shell of the data terminal and said succinctly: "Tracking." ”"It's already being done......
No tracking results, the detection probe has focused all sensors on the Imperial Capital, but has not detected any madness. ”The people in the room immediately looked at each other.Leah turned her head to look out the window in confusion, the blizzard that seemed to freeze the whole world before had also unconsciously calmed down, and gradually weakened into a harmless ordinary blizzard, and the cold wind cry from the direction of the plain gradually turned low, and lost the deterrent power that seemed to shake people's hearts.Leah muttered irritably, "It's all this weather......
I don't like it. ”The blizzard died down in an instant, and the night became crystal clear, and the night sky of Rahrien was starless, but there was a soft glow from the divine barrier that shone over the earth.Lily whimpered in disappointment, went back to the couch and curled up between a few large warm cushions, closed her eyes and began to play dead.Hao Ren glanced at Leah: "You use the Divine Word in this kind of place?"
”"Coincidence, just a coincidence......"
Leah smiled slightly awkwardly, and then her face became serious, "What happened just now......
What do you think?
”"It's the breath of the Lord of the Hustle That's right, just as we expected, there is really a small amount of the power of the Lord of the Hustle left in this world, but the sudden disappearance is a bit difficult to explain," Hao Ren frowned, "Could it be that there is some residual sealing system at work?"
The power of madness was briefly escaped and then controlled again?
”"I don't know, but we have to go to that imperial capital," Leah said seriously, "We'll leave early tomorrow morning, okay?"
”Lily pulled her head out of the cushion: "What about the Charlemagne siblings?"
”"I can't wait for them," Hao Ren waved his hand, "Anyway, I've sent them to the north, and they can go the rest of the way on their own."
And we can go to the imperial capital to investigate first, and if we can't find a starting point, it's a big deal to come back. ”Vivien nodded, "I agree."
All in all, let's all have a good rest today, adjust our respective states to the best, if we really want to deal with the Lord of the Crazy Noise......
Even if you are only dealing with a little residual power, you must show 120,000 points of seriousness. ”Everyone agreed on this, so after saying goodnight to each other, Hao Ren and his party returned to their respective rooms to rest, recuperating and preparing for the next action.Early the next morning, Hao Ren got up and met Lily, Vivien, and Leah in the hall of the inn."
You rested last night, right?"
Hao Ren greeted the others, "Let's eat first, and then say goodbye to the Charlemagne brothers and sisters before leaving—no matter how rushed it is, a little courtesy is always needed." ”Lily stretched her waist and said casually while looking at the few attendants and maids scattered in the inn: "Let's eat first—ah, by the way, landlord, I went out for a morning run just now, and when I passed in front of the lord's castle, I vaguely heard someone running around in a panic, do you think something is wrong?"
”"Something?
What could happen?
”Vivien blinked, "That Princess Constance dragged the Archduke of the Northland to the south to fight, and I heard that several of the Archduke's sons were stationed in the fortress further north and were not here, so who could be in the castle?"
”Hao Ren touched his chin and guessed: "It's not like someone burned the lord's house at night...... he said casually, and out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw Charlemagne and Evenna walking in through another door in the hall of the post house, and the brother and sister were in a hurry, and there seemed to be a trace of worry on their faces.They also saw the figure of Hao Ren and his party, so they quickened their pace and walked in this direction, Charlemagne was just about to speak, Hao Ren had already taken the first step to speak: "Ah, just right, I am still thinking about where to find you - we have some urgent things to do, and we have to take the first step." ”And Charlemagne couldn't help but speak out the next second Hao Ren spoke: "There is urgent news, there is an emergency situation in the Northern Legion on the front line, Grand Duke Owen ...... last night Yes?
You just said you were leaving?
”The scene was a little awkward at one point.Hao Ren coughed dryly: "Huh......
Ahem, it doesn't matter, you say it first.Something is wrong at the front?
”Charlemagne froze, his eyes swept around the hall, and after confirming that all the attendants and maids were consciously standing at a distance, he lowered his voice and said: "I just got the news - the combined forces of Princess Constance and Archduke Owen were raided on the southern front, and Grand Duke Owen was seriously wounded, and he was sent back to the castle by the teleportation array overnight last night......
"The Northern Legion has been badly damaged in the south?"
Could it be that the rebel army led by Princess Constance was defeated by the Knights of the Black Sword?
Hao Ren and the others were stunned, this news was indeed unexpected, they knew that the Black Sword Knights and the Imperial Legion were outstanding, and the pressure on that Princess Constance would be great, but they didn't expect that the war between the two sides had only been more than half a month, and the situation had taken a sharp turn to such an extent.Ai Wenna noticed the expression on the faces of Hao Ren and his party, and quickly explained a few more words: "Don't worry, the coalition army was not defeated, but it was hit hard, and the most important thing is that the coach almost died, which is the biggest damage." ”Vivien felt that things were unreasonable: "That's not right......
As far as I know, there have been several major battles between the Northern Legion and the Imperial Legions since the beginning of the war, and the two sides have suffered damage to each other, but they are basically evenly matched - how could the Northern Legion suddenly suffer such a heavy blow that even the commander was almost broken?
”Hao Ren nodded and said that he had the same question, but he still remembered the deeds that Kem said, that Grand Duke Owen was a real hunk who could tear apart the Gorgonne demon after drinking high - what is this concept?
This means that the macho Grand Duke tore a starfighter with his bare hands!
This kind of fierce man almost died in battle, can the Dragon Soul Emperor personally conquer it?"
We don't know," Charlemagne frowned, "The news was told to me by Keim, and it is still under wraps, and it should not be released to the public for the time being."
However, I heard a story that there was a team of Black Sword Knights who attacked at night, and they had been discovered by the patrolling Broken Sword Knights, but they suddenly erupted with monster-like power, and as a result, they broke through the guards......""
Monster-like power?
”Hao Ren's eyes became serious for a moment, "Wait a minute, you said it was a sneak attack in the middle of the night......
When is it?
”Charlemagne spread his hands: "I don't know.In fact, the news itself was heard by chance, and the credibility is ......"

"The credibility is very high, believe me, it is really high," Vivien interrupted Charlemagne's words, she was more or less well-informed, and naturally knew that the brother and sister were willing to share this information with themselves and others, in addition to the trust they had built up all the way through thick and thin, the more important reason should be that they had something to ask for, "You tell us these things, if I'm not mistaken......
You want to get us to meet the Grand Duke Owen, right?
”Since the Grand Duke was urgently teleported back to the castle last night for treatment, he must still be in Frost and Snow City, and the Charlemagne brothers and sisters hurriedly ran to talk about these things early in the morning, most likely just to call Hao Ren and his party to meet the Grand Duke."
Exactly," Charlemagne nodded, "Grand Duke Owen regained consciousness in the early morning and met with Kem, and then learned about us from Kem.The Grand Duke is interested in receiving us—and if you agree, he wishes to see you. ”"He's still interested in us?"
Hao Ren raised his eyebrows a little unexpectedly, "Why?"
”"Because he's heard about your ability to come and go in the Black Pines, and your easy victory over Lord Gorgon," Avena said, "and I think the Grand Duke is also interested in a secluded World Tree Temple organization itself." ”Charlemagne looked at Hao Ren with an inquiring look in his eyes: "We still know some of the habits of the Hidden World Organization, so this matter still depends on your wishes.Just now you said that there are important things to do, so ......"
Hao Ren nodded suddenly, and understood why Charlemagne would tell him a lot of things first, it turned out that he was worried that his group would leave on their own if things were not clearly explained - after all, in the impression of ordinary people, any secret society and secret temple mysterious organization likes to take that kind of floating route, and when dealing with them, if there is not a word to explain it, those people who are outside the world have already fled thousands of miles away, The next appearance may be the time for the cast......
In fact, he was not wrong to be worried, after all, Hao Ren was really ready to leave—if there was no such breaking news.Hao Ren and Vivien glanced at each other, and the two reached a tacit understanding between the two of them.The Grand Duke of the North came into contact with the Black Sword Knights who "turned into monsters" and survived - if those Black Sword Knights were also related to the power of madness, then the Grand Duke of the North Owen was the most precious "first party".So Hao Ren smiled and nodded slightly to Charlemagne and Evenna: "We are happy to meet the Grand Duke." ”
