I don't know if it was because of the cold and dry climate of the Northlands that made Helliga feel uncomfortable, or if it was just because it wasn't a familiar environment for him and he couldn't sleep well - he woke up very unusually early in the morning.

Seeing that it was close to six o'clock in the morning, but the sky was already quietly dark, Helriga couldn't help but be dumbfounded. He gently pushed open the window, letting the slightly biting cold wind drift into the house with the fine snow in the wind—Baron Theo was right, the cable car had been recovered last night, otherwise it would have been damaged by the snowstorm.

It's just that this blizzard doesn't seem to be as violent as imagined - Heliga thought in a daze, Bernardor left a memory of the scene of the northern part of Skyrim Province marching against the raging blizzard, and if you watch too many scenes at that time, maybe it will really make people feel a little depressed.

"Now that they're all awake...... Just go outside. Heiliga thought to herself, and then briefly tidied up her room, got dressed, and crept out the door.

Step on the soft snow – enjoy the peace of the morning alone. Doesn't that seem like a bad life? Heliga thought for no reason.

In addition to the northern part of the empire, there is probably only the country that has been destroyed by natural disasters, Northumbria-if you think about it carefully, there are really many people who come from the old Duchy of Northumbria.

For those "Northern Hunters" who resolutely sacrificed their lives for the poor people of their hometown, Helriga inevitably has a trace of respect, and for them, Heliga cannot be as cruel as ordinary hunters. It's really strange to talk about it, obviously these hunters themselves have already seen this, and they already have a sense of death for their future.

It's just, maybe I'm too deeply influenced by Martha?

Speaking of which, it seems like Martha's turn to make a night patrol today - if that guy in Garcia is always working overtime, this guy will inevitably complain. Although he didn't say anything in Fei's face, he really had to rest occasionally.

Thinking back to the Vault's patrol schedule, Heliga was even more convinced. He pulled out "ARCUS" and wondered if he could send Martha a message, he had something to ask.

And he did—but what awaited Heliga was the long, shrill chirp that naturally hung up after no one answered the communication.

This is still true in the still-dark snowy night.

"What's the situation...... It shouldn't be. Helliga frowned—didn't Martha go today? Or did you not bring the guide with you for some reason?

I dialed again, but there was still no answer.

Again, still the same.

"This ......" Helriga had a hunch in his heart - I'm afraid things are not as simple as he imagined?

So, what about someone else's?

Helliga dialed Filipino's number, again unanswered.

Levy's — and that's true.

"......" That's really ...... It's too bad.

Haley took a deep breath - could it be that something had happened? He had only been gone for a few days, and had just foiled a conspiracy from the nobles of Ballahhat, so what had gone wrong?

Fortunately, this anxiety didn't last long—because soon, someone I had just contacted seemed to send me a reply.

Heliga hurriedly answered - that seemed to be Levy's guide? However, to Helliga's surprise, the voice on the other side of the phone turned out to be His Royal Highness Elfin.

"His Highness Elfin?" When Helriga heard this voice, he couldn't help but be stunned, "May I ask ......?"

"Mr. Lévy left the guide to me and Elyse before leaving, and he said that you might send a routine call, and he wasn't sure if he would be able to spare his hands then......" Elfin hurriedly explained.

"In fact...... Just yesterday evening, the trading town of Keldik in southeastern Kruchen appeared to have been hit with a massive and devastating attack. Elyse, who was on the side, added, "When the news reached us, it was already late at night. ”

"Keldik...... Isn't that the town near the Lunalia Natural Park, famous for its fur and jewelry trades? It was also very popular with the nobles of Balyahat. Heiliga said casually, he had a little impression of this place - after all, the first internship of Group VII was here, although he did not participate, but Fei had already told him a lot of details, "There was actually an attack?" ”

"Hmm. It was the merchant who had escaped desperately from there who told us. "And...... And the intruder is ......"

"The invaders are the noble army of Krutchen." Elysée finished her sentence for the unspeakable princess, "Although the reason is unknown, it seems to be so...... According to eyewitness reports, they were attacked by a giant robotic form. What Elysée said made Helriga wonder - why?

"It stands to reason...... Mechs should not be used on such occasions...... No, the aristocratic army has no position to do this. ”

"This is also something that His Excellency is worried about...... He thinks there must be something strange in this. And, because the casualties over there were so heavy, he took a risk and sent some of the Guardians here over to see what was going on. However, they haven't come back yet. ”

"When did they leave?" Heliga asked in a deep voice. There must be something strange behind this attack - it is really a bit unreasonable for the aristocratic army to do such a thing.

However, this also means that an opportunity that I have been waiting for for a long time has come as a matter of course.

Could it be that someone on the other side predicted his every move?

"I guess it was five hours ago...... The fleeing merchants arrived around 1 a.m. "Less than half an hour after that, Mr. Lévy and the others left. ”

"It's a two-hour hike from here, and at Levi's speed—it's possible that the situation there is really hard to deal with, but it's not enough to worry about at the moment. I'll talk to the others here - by the way, Elyse, I forgot to tell you that we found Lane, he's fine, he should be able to function tomorrow, I'll tell you the details later. ”

Ignoring Elyse's call for surprise, Helriga quickly cut off the communication, and then immediately rushed back to Baron Schwarzer's palace.
