Soul of Burning Steel

a snow.

The bitter cold wind brought a light snow, blowing across the territory of Moldavia, and the time came to the end of March in 833 in a blink of an eye.

After the last snowfall of this winter stopped, the temperature in the entire Northland gradually began to warm up. In some places where the snow melted faster, farmers had already started wielding farm tools, breaking through the frozen solid soil, and plowing the fields. The snowmelt and ice water from the peaks of the snow-capped mountains also flows into the rivers, passing through the still silver-clad coniferous forests.

Between the woods and the ice field, everything began to recover. The white bear and the squirrel woke up from the tree hole at the same time after sleeping for a whole winter, and the winter wolf who had been running around for the whole winter was also excitedly aware of the increase in prey. It was at this time , countless caravans are setting sail from afar, heading for this land that has been blocked by snow and ice for a season.

The main city of Moldavia is also full of vitality due to the coming of early spring. The shops that have been deserted throughout the winter have begun to load and unload goods, preparing for the next peak trade season, and the taverns are gradually becoming hot, but everyone The topic of conversation was not the usual neighborhood routine, but information about Winter Castle College.

Those who have children and nephews in the family who have successfully enrolled are naturally the envy of everyone. As the first formal professional school in the Northland, being able to enroll is simply the best way to brag. Many people are showing off themselves openly and secretly. The children are excellent, but among this group of people, the most conspicuous one is the old man with gray hair, but holding a wine glass as big as half a human head, and heroically drank the spirits in it in one gulp.

This scene really scared a middle-aged man who had just entered the tavern, but after the explanations of the people around him, he also quickly knew that the grandchildren of this old man named Edward had successfully entered the Academy of Wintercastle, And it won the attention of all the mentors. The booze just now was a celebration encouraged by everyone.

"It seems that people in the Northland are only so enthusiastic when they drink."

He randomly found a corner and ordered a simple drink and food. The middle-aged man looked at the hot atmosphere in the tavern and smiled helplessly. On the chest of this uniform, there is an inconspicuous golden scale with half a sword and half an ear of corn.

Inspector Munster came to Moldavia again after a year.

This time is the same as last time, he also has a mission on his body, but he is not as anxious as last time for the Kuroshio. In addition, one of the missions this time is to observe the situation in the main city, so he has There is plenty of time to wander around the city.

After finishing his lunch, he began to walk aimlessly in the main city of Moldavia.

Walking along Qingshi Avenue, he saw that many closed shop doors were opened by the shopkeepers, and they began to tidy up before spring. Compared with the peak season, although the commercial street was still deserted, it also had a bit of lively and prosperous shadow. There are many pedestrians walking back and forth on the side of the road, seeming to be shopping for goods, and many of them are wearing all kinds of monster leather armor. Just by the battle-tested aura, you can tell that they are seasoned adventurers who are waiting for the snow to melt and are ready to go. The figures of the mercenaries.

And as he got closer to the city center, some guards wearing standard silver armor or Warcraft leather armor with the Radcliffe family emblem on their chests became common, and near St. Lauren's Cathedral, there were also guards. Many church knights in white blouses patrolled and guarded.

The entire city is surrounded by such a vibrant atmosphere. It seems that it has been suppressed for the whole winter, making everyone feel a little too energetic. This can also be seen from the pace of the guards patrolling the city. Their expressions are extremely energetic. It seems that they are waiting for some idiots who don't have long eyes to jump out, so that they can vent their excess strength.

Munster walked silently all the way, he observed the surrounding scene with great interest, the clean and tidy streets, the accordion melody coming from the tavern not far away, it has to be said that although the main city of Moldavia It can't be compared with the big cities in the middle of the empire, but among the second-tier main cities, it is already considered decent, and the expressions of the pedestrians are also full of hope and vitality, and there is no feeling of numbness and dullness, which is enough to prove that The lord here is really good, and he can be regarded as very competent.

After bypassing St. Lauren's Cathedral and the square, he came to the street where the Lord's Palace was located.

And the moment he saw the Lord's Mansion, he stopped involuntarily.

"I was really scared...it was so sudden."

Taking a deep breath to relieve his stiff muscles, Munster came back to his senses, then shook his head and muttered to himself, staring at the two huge and ferocious demon blood hanging on the side of the castle in front of him. The head of the dragon felt a little helpless in his heart: "It's not like showing off like this. The two heads of the dragon were placed outside like this. When the dragon's power shook, I was shocked."

Turning his head, he looked at the other people passing by. These residents seemed to have long been accustomed to the coercion remaining on the heads of the two giant dragons. Enlightenment: "Could it be that Joshua's purpose is to let his people gradually get used to the coercion of the dragon clan, so that if they encounter any attack in the future, they won't even have the strength to escape?"

And it can also convey such a message through the head of the dragon-the dragon is not invincible, look, the two heads are hanging there, there are people behind you, don't be afraid of them.

There seemed to be some strange auditory hallucinations in his ears, Munster shook his head vigorously, shook those words out of his mind, and then walked slowly towards the Lord's Mansion.

At this time, a silver-haired girl also happened to come out from the corner of the street and walked towards the gate of the Lord's Mansion.

Ever since Hei Awakened to refine the blood of the black dragon, and had been swimming in the lakes under the Nissie Snow Mountain all day long, Ying, who had one less task, was much more relaxed. After Joshua's daily compulsory cultural education, It's her free time.

In this regard, the soldier can be regarded as surprisingly generous. He doesn't mind Ying wandering around every day, and even allocates some pocket money for her to buy some things she wants to buy, but Ying doesn't really need these. If she wanted to change her clothes, she only needed to condense them a little with magic power, so the girl basically used the money to buy some special food and brought them back to Joshua, so that both the master and the slave would be happy.

But just when Ying was about to enter the lord's mansion, she saw a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.

A man wearing a red background with black borders and a balance emblem on his chest is standing at the other end of the street. This familiar scene made the girl blink subconsciously, and the memory core rotated rapidly, and she immediately recalled who the other party was .

Examiner Munster.

an acquaintance of the master.

This time, I guess I have something to ask the master, right? Ying nodded silently, and couldn't help praising her reaction.

"Hello, Mr. Munster."

Raising her hand and waving at the other party, the silver-haired girl remembered the etiquette she had learned in culture class, then coughed and said in a gentle voice: "Do you still have a mission to come here this time? "

And Munster, who was greeted suddenly by someone, naturally found the girl in front of him. His memory is enough to recall the other party's name, so the examiner also replied straightforwardly: "Long time no see, Miss Ying, you are more beautiful than the last time we met." beautiful..."

It's a good thing to be able to meet acquaintances without having to make an appointment with the guards at the city hall or the lord's mansion, but... I haven't seen you for a year, not to mention your figure, why haven't you grown in height? I heard that the head housekeeper and maid of the Radcliffe family are all immortals. I thought it was a rumor at first, but now it seems that it may not be the truth.

"If you want to see the master, let me report first."

Ying naturally didn't know what the other party was thinking, otherwise she would not have such a good tone, the girl made an inviting gesture, and said briskly: "The master is probably dealing with government affairs, if it is not urgent, maybe you have to wait a little longer Will."

"It's okay, I'm here to tell your master some good news."

Following the gestures, Munster naturally approached the gate of the lord's mansion. The guard at the gate also knew that the other party was an acquaintance of his lord, so he roughly checked the other party's clothes, asked to collect the sword, and then let him go.
