Starfall 831, December 18. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

According to folk custom, November is called the month of frost, December is the month of snow, and January is the month of ice, and they are collectively known as the March of Winter.

At this time, it is the time when the snow is the heaviest and most abundant in the world, even in the south of the empire, goose feather snow will fall, not to mention the already cold northland.

But in any case, the snow that is now falling on the fortress of Moldova is really too big.

Gloomy black clouds converged from the far end of the sky to the sky above the gray-white city, and then fell straight down—not as cuff as snow, and then as if the sky were topping, cloud after cloud fell down.

Torrents of snow fell from the sky like waterfalls and avalanches, the snow on the ground thickened and rose at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the hunting north wind mercilessly brought a terrible howl through every street of the fortress.

In this kind of weather, even the able-bodied Black Iron Class soldiers could not move normally, let alone ordinary civilians, and only the knights under Joshua and the original Silver Patrol of the fortress could barely move freely.

"If at this time, the Black Tide rises again, and the Warcraft attacks the city again, I think it should not be able to hold it."

Patrolling the city walls in the face of the wind and snow, a certain silver knight wiped his face and uncovered the ice that had been covered with a layer of ice, and he sighed: "We still have to fight in this weather...... I can't even see anything from five meters away, this snow can obscure my vision like this, how can I fight? ”

"You don't feel well, and so does Warcraft."

The voice of another silver knight on the side was a little vague: "It's all flesh and blood, don't think they can be much better...... , the snow is in your mouth again, phew! ”

This kind of conversation appeared in every corner of the city, and everyone was complaining about the bad weather, but as Northlanders, although the snow came strangely and suddenly, they were not without experiencing similar or even larger blizzards, so while sighing, everyone was quite patient.

"This snow won't last long, bear with me for a while."

In the center of the fortress, in a certain house, an ordinary middle-aged man added a piece of firewood to the fireplace and comforted his wife behind him: "Eight years ago, the snow was heavier than now, and it stopped in half a day. ”

As the man said, no one could have imagined how long it would last to fall in such a heavy snowfall, which almost lasts for a year.

But the truth is not what they think.

Starfall 831, December 20.

Blizzard has absolutely no momentum to stop.

The streets in the fortress have been completely covered with snow, no matter how hard the knights try to clear it, it is meaningless, in some of the narrow alleys, the snow has been level with the roof, and now even if the mages are dispatched to carry the ice and snow, they don't know where to put it, even if they are thrown out of the city, it will only contribute to the next siege of the Kuroshio.

Starfall 831, December 21, early morning.

Nowadays, although the heavy snowfall has slowed down a little, it has not changed substantially, if the ordinary snowfall on weekdays is about 1, then the most violent time a few days ago was 10, and now there is at least 8 levels.

Countess Verdany, dressed in a mage robe, walked up and down in her study, and from time to time she walked to the window, looking out of the window with an irritated expression.

The field of vision was extended, there was only one frost white, and in the snow curtain, she couldn't even see ten meters away, this was because she was a golden mage and had a transcendent vision, if she was an ordinary person, it would be good to be able to see a meter or two - and what is the difference between this and being blind?

"Dani, don't be so anxious and worried, your spirit has recovered, and even further, the dragon chariot caravan that came to the autonomous city also arrived at the fortress yesterday, although the current supply of weapons and ammunition is not sufficient, but it is more than enough to fight one or two battles to defend the city."

Sitting on the hardwood chair in the study, looking at an ancient book with a sheepskin cover, Brandon was still dressed in the same costume, wearing leather armor, with two swords hanging from his waist, revealing a confidence rising from his bones while being simple, he raised his head, looked at the purple-haired female mage, and comforted: "In this kind of weather, even a two-legged frozen flying dragon can't take off, let alone a giant bat, even if a demonic beast attacks the city against this kind of heavy snow, it will be beaten back by you, me, and Joshua...... Even if the three golden demonic beasts appeared at the same time, it would not be a big problem. ”

"Brandon, you know it's not the issue I'm worried about."

Shaking her head, as if she was a little dissatisfied with her partner's statement, Verdani sighed leisurely, and then said worriedly: "When the supplies arrived yesterday, it should have been a time to be happy, but none of the people present showed joy, and I felt that something was not quite right at that time, and now it seems that it is indeed the case." ”

"What's wrong?"

Frowning, Brandon closed the book and placed it on the small table beside him, he stood up, walked to the side of the female mage and said, "If there is, why don't you talk to me?" ”

"Your perception of magic is too poor."

Pointing at the blonde-haired swordsman and then at the void, the purple-haired female mage's eyes narrowed slightly, and she sighed, "I'm also afraid that this is an illusion, so I didn't tell you...... In this heavy snowfall, there is a strange, very chaotic magic fluctuation, although it is inconspicuous at first, but as the snow increases, it can gradually affect people's spirits and moods. ”

Speaking of this, the countess seemed to come to her senses: "Sure enough, my anxious temperament before is also a little strange...... It seems that it was also affected unconsciously. ”

That's chaos magic.

Needless to say, Brandon quickly understood the nature of that strange chaotic magic, and there was no doubt that this blizzard was mixed with disturbing chaos magic, making it impossible for people to maintain a quiet and peaceful heart.

(I haven't fully grasped the power contained in the Twin Swords of Order, so I can only ensure that I am not affected...... I'm still a little weaker. ）

He thought of the fluctuation of order that surrounded Joshua's body, which was enough to affect the huge aura within a radius of tens of meters, and the power was enough to expel this faint chaotic influence.

Thinking of this, the blonde-haired swordsman couldn't help but sigh, he gently hugged the purple-haired mage beside him, under the pulsation of power, Verdani only felt as if something had been removed from his body, refreshed, and his brain became quick.

"I didn't expect you to really have two hands, thank you...... Well, the dragon cart caravans can still transport supplies back and forth, but with this level of snow, we will one day be trapped here alive. ”

After sobering up a lot, the countess quickly remembered a huge butterfly-like figure, she looked out the window, and said exactly: "This kind of power that indirectly affects the weather environment is undoubtedly the ghost of the 'big butterfly'...... The golden monster finally made a move, and after so long no news, I thought it had been eaten by that dragon spider. ”

After speaking, she turned her head to look at Brandon again, and said solemnly: "Now there is no time to wait for the snow to stop, let's go to Joshua, we can't continue to be so passively influenced by people, and if we are affected by that kind of chaotic magic like this, the warriors in the fortress will lose their fighting spirit!" ”

"You're right."

Nodding, Brandon thought the same way, he recalled for a moment, and then said, "Joshua should be at the city wall now, he hasn't been anywhere else lately. ”

Now that the location has been determined, the two golden powerhouses naturally won't have any procrastination, and within a few minutes, they flew to the city wall, and through the breath sensing between the golden powerhouses, they also successfully arrived at the place where the warriors were.

But an exclamation came.

"Joshua, what are you going to do?!"

"Oh? Brandon, Verdany, you're here? ”

Standing on the edge of the city wall, dressed in armor and carrying a shield on his back, the warrior who followed Hotaru on his side looked behind him with some surprise, the surprised eyes of the purple-haired female mage and the blonde swordsman did not affect him, this guy said as usual: "This snow is a little wrong, I'm going to go to the Black Forest to reconnoitre." ”

Whoever scouts will bring a full suit of armor, spears, throwing axes, shields and swords!

The blonde warrior's observation ability has never been bad, and it can even be said that it is the top level, and in an instant, he saw the models of the warrior hanging from his waist that had been shrunk by the shrinking technique, among which were two steel cavalry spears, four throwing axes and two giant swords that seemed to be dual-wielded, and his heart suddenly fluctuated, and he couldn't help but speak: "You look like you're going to fight, even an infantry brigade doesn't have enough firepower from you—listen, Joshua, you shouldn't feel it......"

Speaking of this, recalling that Verdani was also here, Brandon suddenly stopped, but he saw that the warrior nodded at him, and he didn't need to ask the next sentence, but instead questioned: "Do you want to go to the Black Forest alone to find the source of this anomalous blizzard?"

"As you say, it's true, I'm going to investigate the situation with this blizzard, but don't worry, I'm just going to investigate a little."

Shrugging his shoulders, Joshua's face was covered by a full-coverage helmet, and he couldn't see his expression clearly, and he couldn't tell whether this sentence was true or false.

If you find it, you will kill it.

At least this sentence, the fighters did not say it.

"At least talk to us before you go."

Verdani looked a little tired, and she explained to the warriors: "After all, you are also one of the most important combat forces of the fortress, and if something happens, it will affect more than just Moldova......

Thundered!

Suddenly, a low loud bang rang out in the distance, and with the vibration of the sound waves, the light between heaven and earth seemed to dim in an instant, and the light of the sun flickering behind the clouds seemed to disappear completely in an instant, plunging the whole world into darkness.

Joshua, Brandon, and Verdani all looked at the sky at the same time.

Far away, above the middle of the Black Forest, the gloomy sky covered with thick clouds was torn apart layer by layer by a violent force, but what was revealed behind it was not the bright sunlight and the sky, but a huge dark canopy, a huge tide of magic surging, strange magic lines in the black mist and sky back and forth and undulating, spectacular and unsettling, countless disgusting strange patterns appeared in the void, quickly dissipated and condensed.

Huge patterns like animal heads and coats of arms loomed in the sky, and even the blizzard that was enough to obscure the view could not hide this magnificent and amazing scene.

Joshua's eyes were like molten iron, his red pupils were like burning, and he looked at the dark sky in the distance, and his heart was agitated.

"It's ...... This breath ......"

"Whoop――――――

The sound that was incomprehensible to mortals suddenly resounded through the sky and the mountains, and the snow on the snow-capped mountains in the distance even collapsed because of this sound, producing avalanches of large or small sizes, and at this moment, the flash of light lit up, and a black pillar of light rose from the earth and went straight into the sky!

Heaven and earth line, black pillars of light stand straight between heaven and earth!

Joshua and Brandon looked at each other, their eyes full of shock.

"Space-time gate...... Fully open?! ”
