Chapter 214： Extreme north and south (1/2)

In the northern part of the Ansu Kingdom, frost and snow have covered the earth.

This mountainous land is the coldest place in the Kingdom of Ansu. The popular northerners are rooted in the mountains and cold winds, guarding the northern gates of the kingdom, and striving to maintain and renew in the 700 years. A delicate balance between the tough neighbors of the North.

Whether it is the Violet Kingdom in the northwest or the Principality in the northeast, it is never an easy role to deal with.

But in this disturbing winter, new shadows emerged from the frost, and in the eyes of the Duke of Victoria Wilde, these new threats are even more worrying than the elusive northern neighbors. Because this threat is emerging from the country.

"Duke of Ice and Snow" Victoria Wilde stood on the high terrace of the winter castle, overlooking the city below, the snow that started before the winter until the night of the night, the town is full of silver, and the north The typical spires in the area can effectively reduce the snow cover. The black spires pierce the winter silver envelope, just like the black pines on the snowfield stand on the plain below the castle, at first glance, Senran Lin Li.

In most parts of the kingdom, the arrival of winter means that production stops, people are hiding in the shivering days of the house, but in this coldest northern situation, the situation is different, the people here have adapted to the cold, and in order to survive I have to adapt to the long winter that occupies one-half of the year. Even in the early days of this heavy snowfall, I can see that there are countless people in the city who must clear as much as possible before the next snowfall destroys the city buildings. Snow, driving out the road, dragging the bodies of the homeless who were frozen in the gutter to the outside of the city, and in the central square facing the castle, the crowd gathered the most.

The snow on the square has been cleaned up, and the people gathered there are to watch the cultists burn.

The figures in black robes were tied one after another on tall stakes. The heavy black steel chains and inscriptions bound their bodies and magic, but they distort the horror by performing sorcerers. The face is still chilling.

The onlookers have gathered several layers in the square. The soldiers separated these people from the cultists. The sleek swords prevented the over-excited people from getting closer to the dangerous prostitutes. In the process, the firewood was Piled up, the animal fat that melted and melted was also poured on the grass.

"Burn them!" Some of the onlookers finally couldn’t help but scream.

This roar is full of anger: "burn them! They killed my children! Burn these cultists!"

A high-ranking priest of the Church of the Light went to the fire station. He took the sacred emblem from the nearby church and turned to look at the crowds.

"The God of Light reveals the plots of these cultists. Before more people are victimized, the Lord guides us to destroy the nests of these heretics!"

The high-ranking priest raised the sacred emblem high. He turned and used the sacred emblem to ignite a powerful light, igniting the flammable oil and firewood, and shouted in his mouth: "Praise the Holy Light! Praise the Lord!" !"

Under the influence of the light and the oil, the fire station was instantly shrouded in golden white raging flames. The cultists tied to the pillars were twisted in the flame like wax, and they made various indescribable howls. The sound of the tsunami sounded in the square: "Praise the Holy Light! Praise the Holy Light!"

The blazing flame went straight into the sky, and the screams of the cultists did not stop in the flame for a long time. Even until the flame burned their bodies, their snoring continued to come from the flames, and the people around them finally realized that the situation was wrong. They looked at the abnormal flame in horror, listening to the abnormal screaming, and the scream finally became a language that humans could understand. The spiritual power left by a dozen cultists was agitated in the air, making terrible Whistling: "Let's laugh! Let's cry! Let everyone die! You will die like a domestic animal, you will die like a worm!! When they come back, they will eat your meat and **** your blood. !!"

The flame suddenly turned black at this moment, and the flames of more than a dozen fires merged together in the air. A huge, indescribable dark purple mass rose from the flame, as if to swallow up all the people on the scene. Inflated, even the sacred officer who just shouted praise to the light in front of the fire station was caught in the wrong moment, but at the moment of this horrible vision, a white light column suddenly emerged from the winter castle. The terrace was smashed into the square.

Under the impact of the "winter whip", the indescribable deep purple mass suddenly freezes, and then it is broken by the lack of support for subsequent energy. A large expanse of ice crystal dust falls from the sky, as if it had another blizzard. Most of the squares were re-covered, whether it was the excitement of the crowd at the previous moment or the shrine of the slogan of the slogan, which was completely quiet, and in the still square, the cold voice of the Duke of Victoria Wilde was heard: "Sweeping Clean and praise Ansu and your founding fathers."

The powerful magical power gradually dissipated on the terrace. Victoria waved his hand and let the magic book floating in the air return to his side, then turned and left the terrace.

The patio door inlaid with artificial crystals automatically closed behind her, insulting the sound from the square. The female duke returned to the warm lounge, and her face was barely exhausted.

The black-haired maid came forward, and she waved back the other attendants, then pressed her hand against Victoria's temple and pressed it gently: "You rarely show this expression. You still see Govin Cecil last time. After the Duke came back."

"This time it is still related to him. If it was not the warning from the founding hero from the extreme south, we would have to wait until the cultists made more damage before they realized that they had eroded this level." Victoria sighed. "This is the fourth cult nest that has been smashed since winter. The first three are the end of all things. This time is the eternal sleeper. The next time the storm son returns from the sea, I won’t Surprised."

"It is said that the cult members in the South are actually very few. They only showed up twice, but each time they were noticed and annihilated by the Duke..."

Victoria gently waved his hand, and the black-haired maid, Maggie, immediately stopped her movements.

"We have been comfortable for too long, and the whole kingdom has been comfortable for too long," Victoria stood up from the bench, quietly watching the portraits of the founding heroes hanging on the wall in front, Govin Cecil. The portrait has been taken down, but she still looks at the blank next to the founding father of Charlie. "From the king to the local aristocracy, there is a serious lack of vigilance, but the Grand Duke of Cecil seven hundred years ago is the most stormy from the kingdom. When the times came, he was more alert than all of us. The ridiculous generation of Wang Duo’s incompetent generations began to treat the cultists’ warnings of the founding dukes as nervous allergies. It became a fuss of the ancients in modern society... ...oh, now they are panicking."

The black-haired maid stood quietly behind Victoria and did not express any opinions, and the female duke seemed to be accustomed to this. She paused and told her: "Is there something you have to look into?"

The black-haired maid bowed his head: "Yes. The priests of the Church of Light have been more active in recent times than ever before, and new missionaries have emerged everywhere, but all their activities are reasonable. They are fighting against cultists. Searching and clearing the cult's lair, the missionaries are also propagating ways to protect the cultists and protect themselves in the curse of the sorcerer. The power of the Holy Light does have a unique advantage in this respect. Besides, they have no extras. Activities, there is no conflict with other sects or robbing of religious resources, and there is no friction with local lords."
