Seeing Gu Xiaoheng accept the thank-you gift he gave, the bearded director of the Winter Castle Mage Academy happily reached out and "patterned" Gu Xiaoheng's shoulder.

"Thank you, young man!"

Bangbang—

【You suffered a heavy blow, health - 1】

Feeling the great wizard in front of him "pat" with kindness and then took a drop of blood on his small body, Gu Xiaoheng's face suddenly showed an embarrassing smile.

Under his gaze, the great magician who seemed to be wearing too warm because of his enthusiasm, Lord Alan smiled and took off his fur coat, revealing the heavy-duty radial iron armor covered under the coat.

I thought the old-fashioned great wizard in front of me was so bloated because of his aging and obesity. There was a look of surprise on his cold face.

After all, who would have thought that such an old mage who is extremely despised by the face would have despised the inherent impression of the mage being weak. She would not wear light silk or cloth armor, but instead wear such a thick and hard armor that ordinary strong men would not wear?

If anyone in this room is least surprised at this moment, it must be Gu Xiaoheng, who has rich experience in the rebirth.

After all, after the previous stroke of Dean Alan, he immediately remembered a joke, or a strange story about the "Winter Castle Mage Academy" that was circulated among players in his previous life.

In fact, let’s not talk about new players who are still very ignorant about the Oracle game. After spending the opening period of exploring the game mechanism in the past life, many players began their journey of dying - among them, many assassin players who are agile and fast attacking have hit the mage NPCs.

As the saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, many assassin players in the northern border naturally selected the assassination or robbery targets to those magic apprentices from the "Winter Castle Mage Academy" and even those academy mentors with powerful magic power NPCs.

However, the ideal is full and the reality is very skinny. The scene of "one knife, one little lamb (mage)" that players imagined at this moment did not appear. Instead, many mages from Winter Castle were calm in the face of the assassin, took off their wide magic robe, exposed their heavy armor and raised their fists to beat the player up!!

The mage wears heavy armor! Do you dare to believe this?

There is even more excessive Winter Castle wizard. I don’t know which school of monks he stole, but learned the boxing technique of beating players like pinching chickens.

Under its powerful melee attributes, the legendary "Winter Fort Boxer Academy" has been circulated in player forums throughout the North Region.

In fact, Gu Xiaoheng, who is experienced as a rebirth, knows why the Winter Castle is so powerful:

The shallow application of gravity magic is to allow a mage who lacks strength to wear heavy armor that does not match the thin body.

As for fist and foot skills, it is even simpler. The mage has the inherent BUFF skill "Giant Power Technique + Melee Intuition" to learn about it??

"Baron Eternal...Baron Eternal? Please come with me. I have something to say to you alone. Let us leave the space for Professor Dumbledore and Dean Alan?"

Still the majestic and cold look but not losing affinity, Duke Ed Stark took the initiative to pat Gu Xiaoheng on the shoulder and signaled.

"Oh, OK!" Gu Xiaoheng, who got the reward, naturally had no objection to this.

Seeing that Gu Xiaoheng was about to leave, Maeve and Geralt naturally found a reason to refuse and left the principal's office full of magical aura.

Gu Xiaoheng quickly noticed that as soon as he left Principal Dumbledore's room, Duke Stark showed a hesitant expression on his face, as if he was hesitating.

Seeing this, he immediately asked, "Mr. Duke, if you have any need, please say it, I will be happy to help you!"

Hearing his words, Gu Xiaoheng actually saw a hint of relief from Duke Ed's face.

"Well, eternity, I've always been hesitant...My honor as the Duke of Winterfell in the North does not allow me to do this to you, Bran's savior, but forgive me, can you borrow the amulet you picked up from the descendants of the Malfoy family to see?"

Hearing that Duke Ed had hesitated for a long time, he wanted to observe the amulet of Malfoy, Gu Xiaoheng immediately agreed happily.

"No problem, Duke! Look, this is the amulet." After handing the amulet to the duke in front of him, he asked curiously: "This must be what His Highness Bran told you. I guess Harry must have leaked the news about the amulet to Bran."

When the topic talked about Bran, Duke Stark showed a proud smile from the bottom of his heart for a long time.

"That's right! I have heard of the Harry Potter you mentioned in Baron. The rumor of the magic world to defeat Voldemort. Even for me, an outsider who has little participation in the magic world, his name is well known!"

However, when the serious duke stroked his fingers carefully and confirmed that the amulet that fell from Malfoy was really carved as it was from the unique gold-inlaid carving technique of the Lannister family, the only proud smile for Bran's growth and progress disappeared from his face.

The majesty of the superior, and the anger of a father at the successive assassination of his son, spread out from him.

At this moment, the three Gu Xiaoheng present finally felt the surging aura of the legendary warrior on Duke Ed.

Generally speaking, such scenes of emotional discomfort in front of others rarely appear in Duke Ed Stark, who is often called "Silent Wolf" by the people because of their lack of emotions.

It can be seen how angry the truth exposed by the amulet aroused the duke.

Just when Geralt thought Duke Stark was about to get angry, he saw his brows slightly calming his anger and regaining his usual cold expression. Only the wooden stair railings in the Hogwarts corridor next to him could prove how angry he was.

"My Duke, it's useless for me to keep this amulet, you keep it!"

Hearing that Gu Xiaoheng did not wait for his request to keep the amulet as evidence, he took the initiative to give the amulet to himself in such an understanding manner. Even Duke Stark himself felt a little embarrassed.

I saw that this duke who had always regarded honor as heavier than life took off the ice blue stone brooch engraved with Stark's family on his cloak and solemnly handed it to Gu Xiaoheng.

"Please accept it. This brooch is engraved with the Stark family's emblem. On this land in the northern border, if you encounter difficulties, you can use this brooch to find the help of the local Stark family's noble vassals! I think as the vassal who is loyal to them, they will sell me this face."

"Thank you, Lord Duke, you are so generous!" After taking the brooch, Gu Xiaoheng smiled and smiled.

In fact, no one knows the importance of this brooch better than Gu Xiaoheng.

To a certain extent, it is not an exaggeration to say that the brooch given to him by Duke Stark is the Northern version of the "Shangfang Sword".

Although it is impossible to "kill the foolish monarch from above and the treacherous minister from below", most nobles who are loyal to the Stark family in the northern border will sell this brooch for a favor, which gives Gu Xiaoheng the opportunity to "take advantage of the power/fox pretend to be a tiger's power".

If you use it well, you can even help him complete many tasks that seemed impossible to complete before and even seek huge benefits!

.....

Compared to the mobilization of troops when they came, the process of Gu Xiaoheng and his group leaving Hogwarts seemed quiet.

No one knew what Gu Xiaoheng had talked to Duke Stark and Professor Dumbledore alone before leaving, but looking at the happy atmosphere, it is not difficult to doubt that Gu Xiaoheng, the social master, had won the recognition and even friendship of these two great figures in the Northland.

After saying goodbye to Bran, Harry and other young wizards who met Hogwarts, Gu Xiaoheng, together with Maeve and Geralt, finally arrived at the Hogsmeade Railway Station next to Hogwarts Castle.

Of course, the trio of them came to the train station not to take the train to leave Hogwarts, but to launch the Hearthstone back to the Blood Manor just to leave Hogwarts Castle, a land where "any form of teleportation is prohibited".

As the baron enthroned by Duke Stark himself, Gu Xiaoheng is still thinking about going to his fiefdom, "Shar" to see it!

After confirming that everyone was ready, the three of them started Hearthstone together.

The unique teleportation glow of Hearthstone flashed, and Gu Xiaoheng and others immediately disappeared.

.....

When he opened his eyes again, Gu Xiaoheng and his party returned to the Blood Manor - a luxurious manor presented to Gu Xiaoheng by former bandits and the cursed monster Nawellen.

Although he had only been away from the manor for a few days, he was still a little uncomfortable when Gu Xiaoheng came back again.

Looking at everything that he felt super comfortable in the Blood Manor, he unconsciously compared it with Hogwarts Castle.

There is no doubt that against the backdrop of Hogwarts Castle where magic is everywhere, the magic elements are not strong enough and the functions are not as complete as the Blood Manor, which is completely defeated in this competition!

Just as Gu Xiaoheng was about to use the rich heritage left by Nawellen to build some buildings to repair the manor, a sudden system prompt surprised him.

[Warning! A group of dwarves are fully armed to attack your estate guards!]

[The "Level 3 Forest Squirrel" member of your real estate "Blood Manor" guarding force was attacked by invaders and has been killed ×1!]

"There is an enemy invasion!" Gu Xiaoheng shouted, causing Maeve and Geralt to draw out their weapons one after another.

Dongdong--

The repaired manor gate sounded a dull knock. It was obvious that the knocker had used enough strength to remove the door...

Through the vision given by the system, he saw Gu Xiaoheng, who looked like an "invader" who killed one of his forest squirrels, took the initiative to raise his hand and open the door with Geralt.

The door opened and a group of short bearded dwarves with messy clothes and inconsistent clothes appeared before them.

Unlike his vulgar knocking, facing the owner of the manor (referring to Geralt and Maeve) who raised his weapons behind Gu Xiaoheng, the dwarfs nodded slightly to everyone politely.

Then, with a commotion in the dwarf queue, a dwarf wearing a sky blue hood decorated with long silver spikes and a ruby ​​belt inlaid as the leader stood up and took the initiative to negotiate with Gu Xiaoheng:

"I've been disturbed. We've traveled a long distance, so I want to stay here for a night, can I?"

Almost as the moment the leading dwarf spoke, Gu Xiaoheng's god-level prompt system seemed to be greatly stimulated and flickered and a new prompt popped up:

[The person in front of you is Thorin II, the son of Selein II, the successor to the throne of the Dwarf King of Dulin and the King of the Mountain: Thorin Oak Shield!]

[In it, there is a legendary mission "The Expedition of the Gushan - the Revival Cause of the Turin Dwarves"!]

In fact, without systematic reminder, Gu Xiaoheng could recognize the identity of the young dwarf leader in front of him.
Chapter completed!
