The snowfield bathed in the pale sunlight filtering through the gaps in the sky, casting stripes across the windswept expanse. It was like an artist's casual brushstrokes on a winter canvas, adding a subtle warmth to this icy world. [Write to here I hope readers remember our domain name]
Dancing snowflakes, free and easy in the air, they flutter down, landing on the snow-covered ground, or being lifted by the wind, spinning endlessly.
In the midst of the wind and snow, the two people very thoughtfully accompanied Xia Ya back to the previous snowy field and retrieved their lost luggage.
Xia Ya led the way ahead, while the two followed him at a distance.
"Oh, it's so cold."
Even after reaching the snowy plains, Lanche couldn't help but sigh in amazement.
"Isn't this just a little bit cold"
West Germany looked at him with a hint of mockery.
"Why aren't you afraid of the cold You're a fourth-tier being, too."
"Oh, it's so cold." (Read aloud.)
Apart from the occasional sounds of two people talking, everything else seemed incredibly peaceful. Even with the constant rustling sound produced by snowflakes being blown about by the wind, this persistent background noise was just the breathing of this snowy expanse.
A few minutes later, the three of them finally found the spot where Xia had left his suitcase and started picking up his belongings.
There were almost only some clothes, a few books and small magical items, of course there was also a map like the one in Rancis's hand, recording the terrain of the northern Protoss Empire.
After entering the northern control zone, there are three provinces to the north.
Boxe Shan province is a transportation hub.
And the Box Mountain province isn't too far away, the Snowfield Province, mainly consisting of several large city-states, Qinston City being one of them.
Far to the north, beyond a considerable distance, lies the Northern Border Province.
They are now right at the border between Box Mountain Province and Snowfield Province.
Thank you both, for your trouble.
Xia Ya once again greeted the two, feeling even more ashamed of his previous hasty retreat.
"It's alright, serving the people wholeheartedly is what I should do."
Lanche raised his hand slightly and said.
>"…"
Xia Ya felt that he should bow even deeper for a moment.
And he couldn't help but ponder, were all the senior students at Proto's Royal Magic Academy this friendly
He had originally heard that the academy was fiercely competitive, with people cold and ruthless. Could it be that times have changed
Xia thought for a moment, then lifted his head and, carrying the box, sighed out a plume of white mist.
"Two seniors, if you're doing elective tasks, it's best not to go any further north. Once the railway in Kingston is repaired, just return directly to Herolun in the Imperial Capital."
He sincerely advised, and then set off on his way.
Perhaps it's just my limited understanding, but not only are the city-states close to each other in the north engaged in hidden power struggles, but the provincial security is also extremely poor. The investigation team that came from the Imperial City of Helm recently seemed to be investigating some unrest related to the northern region.
These two must have traveled straight from the imperial capital to the north, not expecting transportation to be restored like he did at first. They stayed in the north for a few days.
"How about further north"
Lance had also heard about it at the Rock Junction station in Box Mountain Province from an Imperial Army captain, but the captain seemed unclear about the specifics as well.
Perhaps only the lords of a few city-states in the Snowdrift Province know this, but regardless, the north is becoming increasingly dangerous.
Xia Ya shook his head and walked steadily north towards Kingston with Ranchside.
"Besides the increase in refugees, the crime rate is also rising sharply. Many people who cannot find relief in the city-states are joining the Northern criminal organization, the Ghost Party, either voluntarily or by force. The few bandits we just saw should be external members of the Ghost Party."
Lanche, upon hearing this, remained calm and composed, but his thoughts were troubled.
He remembered that the bodies of those gangsters all had octopus-shaped tattoos or rings, which were probably the emblems of the Ghost Gang.
"How dare they"
In the wind and snow behind him, Lanche asked.
The Imperial Army lacked the resources to focus on eradicating them, and the lords of the Snowfield Province were too divided to agree on how to share the burden of improving security.
Xia Ya also had a sense of helplessness, when he arrived in the north personally, he finally confirmed that no matter how good the security situation was in the south of the Empire, it was far better.
"That's so."
Ranch now understood the situation in the Snowy Province.
Now it's kind of a mess, and everyone is unwilling to take responsibility. It would be the fairest outcome if we all suffer together.
The main force of the Annihilation Branch in the north is currently with the imperial army in the Northwest Province. If they were to help the nobles of the Snowfield Province suppress bandits, it might bring some prestige to Archbishop Askshan of the Annihilation Church. However, this would undoubtedly be a thankless task. The nobles would completely delegate the work to the Annihilation Priests, and even if successful in the short term, many High Priests would be lost. The High Priests are unwilling to do this.
And Askosan is said to be personally stationed in the northern border province, facing off against the Northern Kingdoms. His exact whereabouts are unknown due to slow information circulation.
You must be from the South, why come to the North
When Ranch and Sid were helping Xia pick up his luggage, they could tell right away where he was from. Even just by looking at his clothes, it was obvious - like a lot of Southern winter wear piled on top of each other.
Although I am the eldest son of the Southern Earl's family in name, I am actually impoverished... I came to marry into the Quinsston family. I don't know what kind of person my fiancée is, but I hear she is quite excellent and breezed through her preparatory school years with ease...
Xia Ya lowered her head and mumbled, looking very embarrassed, as she told the two people about her true situation.
Lanche and Xide looked at each other, instantly understanding.
It's fine to marry into a middling border noble family if you have a title but no money at home.
"Aren't you worried that you'll get used to life in the north Or that the northern nobility will be cruel to you"
West Germany rarely opened its mouth to ask.
When I was young, I actually met a girl in the Imperial City of Helrome. She was said to be from a northern noble family, but she was incredibly intelligent and elegant, knowledgeable and well-mannered. She led me to my father after I got lost.
Xia Ya, as if remembering something, said with a somewhat relieved expression.
He had no prejudice against the northern aristocracy, even having a rather good impression of them. Or rather, there are good people everywhere, and bad people everywhere; it's not right to generalize.
Perhaps it was after that incident that he gradually changed into the person he is today, no longer wanting his family to fall like his father had generation after generation.
So she will be your fiancée, Miss Lilias Quinston
Lanche casually added.
How do you know her name
Xia Ya was stunned for a moment, realizing the point, and turned to look at Lan Chi.
Of course, I know the names of every student at Protoss Royal Magic Academy, including those who have been accepted but haven't enrolled yet.
Lanche explained earnestly.
"…"
Who at school would remember all the students' information
There's always a slightly terrifying feeling.
Just like he'd always catch you when you did something wrong in school.
"I don't know, ten years have passed and now I can't even remember what she looked like. All I remember is that she had bright orange-red hair. She must have become a smart and elegant lady by now."
Xia Ya could only shake his head in answer.
Lanche nodded and said nothing.
To be honest, I kind of enjoy witnessing those love stories between young boys and girls.
As West Germany walked along, he sighed.
"Really You know I'm best at playing matchmaker, right"
Lanche suddenly came alive, his voice brimming with excitement, as if he was eager to get his hands on Westerloo.
If you say this, he won't be sleepy anymore.
"Alright, you hire both of us. The price isn't expensive, just four-tier bodyguards will do. When we get to the lord's mansion, there should be some attendants or servants following along, right Otherwise, it'd be too shabby."
Lance immediately proposed to Char.
"But, I don't have enough money to pay you right now."
Xia Ya was first surprised, then his expression fell.
This is a very favorable deal.
Indeed, the two of them looked extraordinary.
It's hard to tell who is the young master and who is the young lady when they stand together.
But he has no money.
"We can put it on credit. Just transfer the payment to my and her account in the Imperial Capital later."
Lanche glanced at West.
West Germany shrugged lightly, apparently unconcerned. She was currently a fourth-tier mage, so her hiring fee would be based on that tier.
She just felt that this person's deception was too smooth, even seeming genuine.
The emerald eyes held a gaze that seemed to say, "I believe in you," and made you want to believe in him too.
Thus, the two of them naturally came to possess an identity that could allow them to mingle with the lord's manor.
"...."
Listening to Ranch's plan go over.
The cat owner in the shadows only felt a chill.
The first time I met Lance, it was because I heard he was good at matchmaking.
However the result...
It recalled Loren weeping uncontrollably in the chair, while it, because of its misplaced trust in Ranchi, failed to save that noble high priest. As a result, it later dared not go to Ictereus Academy, fearing it would encounter the high priest and be mistaken for Ranchi's accomplice.
Now, Lan Qi felt like he was a master of love again.
Stop it, you bastard!!
Don't pollute young people's romantic comedies, meow!
