Chapter Twenty-Six: The chance of being able to hold on is almost zero

Everyone's face was full of solemnity, and if things were really as Raphael said, their current situation was not at all described by the word bad. It's like a dilapidated house that can be blown down by a gust of wind at any moment, and it is only fitting that it is crumbling here.

"May I take the liberty of asking a question?" Raphael broke the deadlock with a loud voice, drawing everyone's eyes to it.

"Of course, if there's anything we know. We must know everything, and we must say everything. Hearing this, Angelia Jolie Shuangyue's face softened, and she looked at Raphael with a soft gaze.

"I want to know about the Ice Collar, and I think it might be a breakthrough." Seeing this, Raphael raised the question with some deliberation. After all, this is also an internal incident in someone else's house, and I shouldn't ask too much, which is always a bit of a feeling of digging into someone's house.

Sure enough, as soon as this question was asked, many people set their eyes on one of the older astrologer witches. Even Angelia Jolie Twinyue looked at her inquiry, as if she wanted to ask for her opinion on whether to tell her about it.

"It's okay, it's been so long. Since Mr. Raphael wanted to know, naturally there was nothing to hide. The cause of this incident was my reckless and proud daughter. In the face of everyone's eyes, the old astrologer witch waved her hand absently, and then she directly told Raphael the reason for the incident.

Three stars in January is the White Star Council. January refers to the bi-monthly family, and Samsung rotates every year. This is to ensure the purity of the power stratum and put an end to the emergence of gangs and factions. But there are also those who will continue to serve in the White Star Council because of their talent and contributions, and the power of the council is so great that one of their decisions will make a drastic change for the entire country.

Being able to wear the purple robe was a dream of all astrological witches, but it also made some of the young witches who won the honor get carried away, and Muriel Helen Pisces was one of them. When she received this honor, she did something unfortunate and stupid.

opened a sealed forbidden place, even if her colleagues at the beginning advised her, she was bent on going her own way.

The origin of this seal is no longer known, but Muriel Helen Pisces discovered from an ancient book that it seems to contain a very considerable treasure! In her opinion, if she can successfully transport this batch of treasures, it will definitely greatly improve the strength of the Ice and Snow Country. Her family will be more respected because of this, and it is with this in mind that she has done a lot of research.

There is no doubt that she did succeed in breaking the seal in the end. But the first thing that comes to mind is not a treasure, but a snow beast that springs up from it. All of a sudden, the entire Ice and Snow Territory turned into a Shura battlefield, and the leaders had no backhand at all, and they were torn to pieces under this terrible torrent.

Eventually, with the sacrifice of a dozen astrological witches, most of the people were relocated. But because of this, the reputation of the Pisces family plummeted, and it has only been a warming momentum for so many years. At this moment, Raphael asked this question so directly, it always tasted like rubbing salt on people's wounds.

"I'm so sorry, ma'am. I'm not trying to bring up your pain. Raphael bowed slightly apologetically.

"This is what our family did wrong, there is nothing that hurts and doesn't hurt, this will only make us remember history and warn future generations." The old woman was very open-minded, and had no intention of reproaching at all.

Indeed, because of this incident. The White Star Council's entry standard for astrological witches has been raised to the age of forty before they can hold office, and it is really as she said, remembering history and warning future generations.

"Your open-mindedness is worth learning from." Raphael first expressed his respect, and then said in a deep voice, "Since this is a seal, then we have a breakthrough. But the astrological witch who stayed with Lady Muriel Helen Pisces in the first place? I wanted to see if I could ask something about it from them, and maybe that could be the key to dealing with it. ”

"At the same time, there is a big doubt. Since the other party was able to turn those snow beasts into giant snow beasts, why didn't the people behind the scenes directly send these giant snow beasts to attack the city, if thousands of giant snow beasts attacked this fortress under our feet, wouldn't it be an easy thing? ”

"And where have all those giant snow beasts gone, haven't they?" Angelia Jolie Bimoon took over the conversation and asked Raphael questions that he had been unable to understand.

"That's right, if the other party really has an army formed by giant snow beasts, then where will he hide them? What is the strategic significance? What exactly is his ultimate goal? Is it really just to attack the Ice Country? Perhaps there is something deeper that we have not deciphered. Raphael nodded, these issues are very important, and they may affect the direction of the entire battle.

Angelia Jolie Shuangyue listened to the questions thrown out of Raphael's mouth, her face became more and more solemn, and finally she exhaled deeply.

"I'll have the scouts keep an eye on the Ice Collars, and I'll check out the people who were with Lady Muriel Helen Pisces. Mr. Raphael is also very tired this time, so perhaps you should go and get some sleep first, and we can talk about the rest later. ”

"Okay, thank you Ms. Angelina for your care." Raphael knew that there were some things that he didn't want to hear, and he was very knowledgeable. After all, this is someone else's private matter, and a detective shouldn't ask too much about the employer's situation. Anyway, I can be regarded as employed, as long as I finally finish this thing beautifully.

But the astrologer's words made Raphael even more interested in the matter, 'Muriel Helen Pisces at that time found in an ancient book that seems to contain a very considerable treasure! Treasure is a very attractive thing to a normal person, and Raphael is not exempt from vulgarity.

No matter what you find at that time, you can't say that you can still get a piece of the pie. At the beginning, in the tomb group of the Dark Elf Mother, the weight difference between the two was too great, and Raphael would not make any rude requests. But now, the relationship between the two is reciprocal. It's always okay to solve the trouble for them and share some benefits with yourself.

Of course, this kind of thing doesn't need to be said, otherwise it will lose that flavor.

……

"We are now faced with a big choice, to abandon this fortress and move inland. This will open up a lot of space for us. ”

"Defend this fortress as a barrier to prevent those irrational snow beasts from rushing into our territory."

"What do you think?" Angelia Jolie Bimonthly paused twice, as if wanting to give everyone a moment to think.

“……”

There was silence, and everyone was thinking.

Abandon the fort and move inland. This would give them a breathing room, and the whole battlefield would open up, and armies from all over the world would be able to come in handy. But there is also a big problem, what to do with the ordinary residents, the snow beasts breaking through the fortress and entering the interior will only cause a lot of life.

It's undoubtedly a stupid way to stick to it. And it will make a lot of astrological witches die in this battle. If there is no problem with Raphael's intelligence, a large group of giant snow beasts, then the probability of their total annihilation is very high, there is no doubt about this.

Angelia Jolie Twinyue didn't speak, she didn't want to put pressure on anyone. This is a fair choice, and everyone has the right to choose.

"Stick to it, this is the fault we have made, and we should bear it." One after another, everyone made their own decisions, and everyone present chose to stick to it.

"It's great that all of us are on the same page, which is not often the case." Angelia Jolie Shuangyue said this half-jokingly, easing the tension.

"Actually, all of us don't have to worry so much, as Mr. Raphael speculated, maybe the other party's main goal is not on us, otherwise why not choose to set foot on our fortress and save our lives. As long as the opponent suddenly launches an attack on us, then everything does not need to be considered. ”

"Although we have to stick to it, we also have to be prepared. I decided to join the Hundred Stars Holy War Regiment in the support force just in case. ”

Angelia Julie Shuangyue's words made everyone present agree with the Hundred Stars Holy War Regiment, this is a team with a glorious history. This army is from Julie and belongs to the Double Moon family. They are the most elite troops in the entire Ice and Snow Country, and with the intervention of such a team, their pressure will be reduced a lot.

"At the same time, I will send a letter to the Frost Dwarf Clan Patriarch and the Northland Ice Storm Bear Clan Patriarch, asking them to personally bring reinforcements." Although the Frost Dwarves and the Northland Ice Storm Bear belong to the Ice and Snow Realm, they have certain autonomy, but there is only one thing, and that is that the astrological witch is the dominant one.

"Lady Muriel Helen Pisces will leave this matter to you." Angelia Jolie Twinmoon set her sights on the old woman.

"Don't worry, sir. As soon as the meeting was over, I went back to my clan to look up any useful information. At the same time, I will contact the astrological witches who were on good terms with Mu Lil in the first place. The old woman said very seriously, this is an opportunity to make up for the mistakes of the deceased daughter, how can she let her soul rest in peace.

"Fanny will be dispatching the scouts, no problem, right?" As he spoke, he swept his gaze towards Fanny. This person was the one who had been with Tiffany in the first place.

"Don't worry, sir. I'll finish the redeployment by tomorrow morning. Fanny heard this and got up to reassure.

……

"Is the situation bad?" Around the corner where Raphael was about to enter the room, Tiffany stepped out of it with a worried look on her face. Due to her age, she was not eligible to enter the meetings of the White Star Council. The two scouts had already been taken away when they returned, and they would not be seen again until the war was over.

However, as a rookie in the Shuangyue family, it is still difficult for her to find clues from the subtleties. It is precisely because it is taken too much that it makes people feel worried.

"There is a little, but it is not irretrievable." Raphael responded with a smile on his face, giving a reassuring taste. It really seems that everything is not so bad as he says.

"Actually, I asked you to come this time because I suggested to my mother, and it's really too tricky here. I can't help at all, so I think of you. I heard that you are now a great nobleman in the Ottore Empire, congratulations. Compared to you, I don't seem to have made any progress these days. Tiffany clearly heard the comfort in Raphael's words, but she didn't break it. It looked like the situation was really bad, otherwise he wouldn't have to comfort himself.

"As long as people live, it is a way to progress. I'm sure you haven't slackened in any way during this time, and judging by your previous performance, you should be above the level of a five-star witch by now, and this speed of progress is already remarkable. "The advancement speed of special professions is not faster than that of ordinary professions, and Raphael is a special case, and if he is used as a reference, the light of genius in this world will be much dimmer.

"You're pretty detailed, Mr. Magician." Tiffany recalls her original name.

"You're not bad, ma'am." As he spoke, both of them smiled.

"Can you tell me?" Tiffany clearly didn't want to give up, and while it might be a bit silly, she felt compelled to take on some of the burden for her mother, even if only a little.

"Yes, please come in." Raphael opened the door and gestured.

Raphael brewed tea and told Tiffany everything. Sometimes, in order for a person to grow, you have to make her feel pain first.

"What do you think are the odds that we'll be able to hold this fortress?" The more Tiffany listened, the paler her face became. Indeed, after experiencing the sight of the snow beast besieging the city. Hearing this kind of information does make people can't help but produce a very intuitive image.

"If the other party really wants to take this fortress, the chances of being able to defend it are almost zero." Since you have chosen to confess, then there is no need for any beating around the bush. The reason why Raphael told Tiffany is that there is also a sense of testing and support.

A strong person, the psychological quality must pass, no matter how big the wind and waves, you must stick to the belief in your heart, otherwise you will only go with the flow after all, and you will not be seen by everyone. Raphael just wanted to see if he could get a bang under the hammer.
