The stars are bright and the night wind is cool.

The moist ground of the Frost Fortress was frost.

Today is Mei’s third year of being here and becoming a border guard.

She was wearing a pair of steel mail, holding a sharp spear in her right hand, performing her duties, patrolling the fort war hall along the inner walls of the fortress.

The surrounding braziers were burning with bright oil brought from the alchemy workshop in Haoyue City, burning silently, shining with white light.

Drag her figure for a long time.

Mei glanced over it expressionlessly, straightened her body straight, and continued to walk forward.

The iron boots made shallow footprints on the moss-covered wet ground.

It's really ironic to say that ordinary people can't afford these eternal lamp oils.

Mei remembers that when she was a child, her mother often sewed clothes for them under dim kerosene oil lamps, and the burning choking flames and the pale blue smoke that filled the house made her and her young sister often struggle to breathe and cough all night.

The eternal lamp oil refined by the magicians is bright and pleasant to smell.

Even in childhood, Mei often wondered whether the shining priests living in the temple had crushed the moon in the sky and scattered it in the eternal lamp oil.

Unfortunately, the price of that kind of thing is not something they can afford.

And according to the neighbors, that kind of thing is not available at all.

Yes. They can't use it.

I can't afford it either.

However, from this point of view, May has to admire Duke Rosalind.

When she first arrived at the Frost Fortress, there were only torches here, a brazier with black smoke burning. The fire was dim and the range that could be illuminated was extremely limited.

So at night, the Frost Fortress had to line up a whole row of braziers on the city walls and important strongholds.

Until two years ago, Lord Rosalind made the magicians in Haoyue City compromise with an extremely tough attitude.

Yes, Mei still remembers that there was a terrible war at that time.

A small group of magicians from Lopez walked through the city walls, avoided the dim lights, and stole important letters from Lord Rosalind's table.

After they escaped, Lord Rosalind rode her most loyal lightning to Haoyue City.

Yes, Lightning, she remembers that name.

The horse was the best she had ever seen, blue and white, like clouds in the sky.

And it really deserves the name Lightning.

When Lord Rosalind rode it, he galloped away like lightning.

Mei believes that nothing can catch up with it except the legendary arrow of the Wind-Sheeper.

When Thunder Knight Rosalinde returned from Haoyue City on lightning, a place of Eternal Oil Lamp began to be added here.

They obtained more sophisticated equipment, and even the inconspicuous soldiers who were responsible for night patrols had their own mail and the sharp spear in their hands.

In addition, Lord Rosalind also brought back several magicians and set up the so-called magic cordon here...

Um……

Or a magic barrier?

Mei raised her head in confusion and stopped tangling.

Those advanced things cannot be understood by the soldiers like them.

In short, the entire Frost Fortress is safer and no more infiltrations have occurred.

but……

Mei curled her lips and looked around.

She took a neat step, taking a precise step forward as she did every day.

From the base of the wall on the east side, it takes 563 steps to walk the entire wall, and then walk from there along the corner towards the direction of the War Hall, which takes about 2289 steps.

She is quite confident about this and has never made any mistakes.

What Mei is proud of is her control of distance and her meticulousness in the surrounding grass and trees.

The entire Frost Fortress was as familiar to her as the lines in her palm.

She had no doubt that she could be more powerful than those magic guards.

If there is really something abnormal that can escape the reconnaissance of the magic guards, then she will definitely not be able to escape her eyes.

Unfortunately, when she told her companions, they always laughed at her for overestimating her ability.

"Hmph." Mei's face showed a sarcastic smile of disregard.

That's because they were too stupid and didn't understand how powerful she was.

Just give her a chance to prove it...

It was at this moment that Mei's eyes slightly shook.

Because she noticed that the soil below was a little loose when there were green pine trees in front.

To be precise, it is perfectly integrated with the surrounding land.

So much so that when she looked, she didn't feel anything wrong.

But in Mei's memory, it shouldn't be like this. Last night, because of the thin frost condensed at the roots of the tree, she remembered Fei fell heavily here.

At that time, they didn't think about dealing with it.

So according to normal circumstances, there should be traces of being crushed in that place now...

No.

Everything seemed to be restored and was taken care of by an inexplicable hand.

This feeling is particularly strange.

The more perfect it is, the more it makes her feel something is wrong.

Mei's heart beat wildly and her eyes shone.

She took a deep breath and did not get closer to that place, but opened her mouth out of instinct-

"Um……"

A huge fear emerged in Mei's eyes, and her hands covered her neck in pain.

She tried hard to open her mouth, and she could not make any sound except gurgling.

The blood gushed out of her nasal cavity stopped her shout.

From her chest, a blood thunder broke out like a sword.

As the bright red flowed, the warrior fell silently.

Her spear lay beside her, her eyes were filled with a daze.

The blood stained her body, dyeing the silver mail red.

In front of me, a black stream surged in the black soil that Mei stared at before her death, and a human form condensed in the air—

One of the three major forbidden curse masters of the Blasphemer, Weiwen, who was called Sirius, gently stepped past her body and frowned slightly.

"Silly soldier..."

She shook her head and said the last sentence.

"You shouldn't have discovered mine."

It has to be admitted that the soldier's keen insight was completely beyond her expectations.

But Mei can no longer hear it.

The last thought that flashed through her mind before she completely lost her thinking was—

[Look, those incompetent mage guards.]

Move forward with Weiwen's pace.

The corpses of the soldiers behind turned into a pool of blood.

Then quickly blend into the ground.
Chapter completed!
