My summons are weird

It rained heavily.

The wet robes of the ghostly black owls no longer fluttered. They lowered their heads, silently received tasks from the head of the black owls, and left Civita City in twos and threes.

The rainwater from the broken line continuously seeped into the armor of the accompanying members of the Solon Royal Knights, and even their hearts were cold.

Like ants whose marching route was blocked by a fallen leaf, they scurry in the rain in a panic, searching for suspicious people from house to house. The knights who should not bear the death penalty can no longer control a lot.

They knocked on the door roughly, and if someone opened the door slowly, they would use magic to break the door, and swarmed in, looking for what they thought was "evidence".

Like frightened birds, the people of Civita curled up numbly in the corner of the room, allowing these people to smash the urns in which they stored their grain, and watched in pain as the strong wind and rain slapped on the cellar where the food was hidden. Get wet a little bit...

No one dared to stop them, they just looked at these demons with resentful eyes.

Zenier's chief magician broke into the rain, and they delivered Zenier's will with decisive and ruthless actions.

The cavalry who tortured the people of Civita were tied to wooden stakes and whipped in the rain. The cold rainwater penetrated into the pores, and the blood flowed and was quickly washed away. The wailing of the cavalry echoed in the heavy rain.

Covered in scars, they were ruthlessly thrown on the street to be watched by the people of Civita. Even though they were on the verge of hypothermia, the chief magician who was imprisoning them still did not let them go, and strongly ordered the knights to wait for the punishment time to end.

The people of Civita who watched the execution in the rain clenched their fists. They did not dare to shout and applaud, but the joy in their brows was obvious.

Zenier's temporary residence was naturally surrounded by the accompanying imperial consuls. Compared to the relief of the people, they were very dissatisfied with Zenier's whipping of Divic's personal knights-of course, they might also accuse Zenier of Jue means merciless.

The interview was destined to end on a bad note. The consuls of the empire thought it was a helpless move for Zenier to temporarily take over the power after the assassination of the emperor, but Zenier's move after taking over the temporary power was tantamount to arrogance.

After getting rid of the group of consuls who were hesitant to "make the case" for his father, Zenier felt a little tired.

The black owl in the shadows waited for a long time, and Zenir's chief magician opened the magic barrier to isolate the inside and outside.

"Head of the black owl, maybe you have something to say to me?"

The head of the black owl kneeled respectfully, but did not say a word.

Zenier twitched the corner of his mouth, waved his hand, canceled the barrier, and let the head of the black owl leave.

The chief magician poured a cup of tea for Zenier after the head of the black owl left: "Why don't you ask, Your Highness?"

"The black owl is an extension of Solon's will. They generally only obey the emperor himself."

The hand of the chief magician pouring tea shook, and the tea spilled out.

Zenier grabbed the teacup disapprovingly and sipped carefully: "The only thing we should care about is the territory. Civita is just a bait, and it's not worth our energy to waste."

At the end, he added: "Bring Tania over here for me."

Tania's carriage slowly passed on the uneven bluestone road. After the chief magician left, the cavalry who had tortured the people of Civita had just been removed from the wooden pillars standing on the street.

Because of being washed by the rain for a long time, their skin is wrinkled and their faces are pale. Even if they are supported by their companions, they are still trembling and staggering.

Even so, they still cursed Zenier's cruelty with a little effort.

No one thought it was an offense to break into the houses and search. The assassins could easily enter the city of Civita, and they might have the assistance of these "ordinary people".

Tanya stepped into the mansion with some doubts. Zenier sat at the stone table and seemed to be discussing something with his messenger. Seeing her coming, he nodded slightly.

Tania, who hadn't met Zenier in private for a long time, also politely returned the salute.

When the idlers retreated, Zenier cut straight to the point: "There is a batch of food, I hope you will distribute it for me."

"food?"

"Compensate those people who have been harassed. The list has been drawn up. You just need to come forward and take this honor that the people are grateful for."

Tanya was a little taken aback, but quickly regained her composure: "What do I have to pay?"

"No need." Zenier said, "Both the nobles and the common people are already used to the title of 'Green Shade'. Your favor is natural and considerate, and will not make those numb people think it is the empire's deliberate compensation."

Tania smiled and said: "The consuls are very dissatisfied with you taking over most of the rights temporarily after the death of your father, and you offended them for a group of poor people who can't extract any benefits, and finally gave up your reputation to me...It's embarrassing When was the storm of fear so gentle?"

Zenier lacked the necessary humor, and his words were frank and direct: "I only care about what the people in my own territory think of me. Civita is too far away from the Storm Territory, but it is closer to your 'Green Shade Territory'."

Tanya smelled something strange, thinking quickly in her mind.

She raised her head and glanced at the red beside her, Zenier seemed to have guessed her thoughts.

"There is a shield, and the black owl cannot spy on it."

Tania didn't buy it. After Chi Hong confirmed, she let go of her guard and said with a serious face, "What do you know?"

"No more than you, you had a premonition when the southern tour started, didn't you?"

Tanya recalled the scene of the assassination.

Everything happened suddenly. My father's carriage was slowly driving on the spacious streets of Civita City. Although the people who witnessed the head of the empire for the first time had gone through many hardships, they were still guarded by a mighty team and majestic and majestic. The knight's momentum was shocked.

The saying that the lords deceived the emperor still has a market in Civita, so these poor people put their heads on the ground little by little, just so that the emperor can see their humbleness and loyalty, and then... let them have a way to live and eat full meal.

The plaster wall beside the road suddenly shattered, and a tall and majestic figure appeared in the collapsed wall ash. The dusty silver-white armor reflected the cold light, reflecting countless astonished and nervous faces.

The long spear protruded out skilllessly, with no discernible speed.

The guards had experienced the horror of the spear, the bloodshot eyeballs, the blood spitting out of the mouth, the sunken chest, and the body flying off the ground all told everyone how terrifying the lethality of this blow was.

In late autumn, frost and snow flew in Civita, and the cold air snaked forward on the bluestone road. The magician who recited the mantra did not have time, and all those who tried to surround the assassin were frozen into statues by the biting cold, assassin The huge body of the victim began to accelerate, and his strong physique smashed the ice sculptures along the way, striding forward.

The knights who collided with him were all the absolute elites carefully selected by Solon, but under the cover of the assassin's monstrous killing intent, none of them with cold hands and feet could stop him.

Groups of guards were swept away by the spears, and the assassin who opened a path met the black owl that suddenly appeared and killed them.

The will of the empire hit the assassin's body with magic or with weapons, and the chill seeping from the gaps in the armor distorted the magic power, making the stormy attacks like drizzle.

"Snow Monster!"

Finally someone recognized the identity of the assassin.

In the early stage of Civita's rebellion, he entered the vanguard camp alone, disrupting Solon's layout.

In the mid-term of the Civita rebellion, he would break out from the siege of Solon's black owls, and exchanged the lives of three black owls at the cost of bleeding and serious injuries.

With the end of the Civita Rebellion, the Squirrelman returned to his homeland, and everyone forgot about this legendary figure who once made the Squirrelman proud and imitated everything from clothing to weapons.

The last person of Melias, the minion left after the former prosperous human empire in the Mera continent was turned into a beast, he came.

As has been passed down from generation to generation.

"Not every snow monster has forgotten the giant beast, and not every snow monster is willing to accept the new era."

"The snow monster is like a ghost. As the last pair of eyes left by Melias in the world, he watched everything about Solon indifferently, waiting for the country that took over the vast territory of Melias to reveal its weaknesses, and then... he He will return, with a body that should have been buried long ago and a belief that should not continue to be persistent, to practice his greatest loyalty with spears and magic, and we can only be forced to witness."

The prophecy of the black owls hundreds of years ago was fulfilled at this moment.

The black owl used life to form a barrier between the Yeti and Divic.

The chill that seeps out of the armor rises into mist. At this moment, the snow monster is like being in the rolling snow mountain. He hides the shocking shot in the depths of the snow-capped mountain, like a dragon waking up, roaring out of the lair, hazy In the mist, the spear pierced out.

The barrier of flesh and blood was subtly dodged by the yeti. Magic, armor, and flesh and blood were all lost at this moment, and there was nothing in front of Divic.

In front of a smooth road, the long spear advanced, with a galloping vengeance, the last imperial will of the buried empire turned his back on many younger generations, pierced Divic's heart, and easily lifted his body like a rag bag , flinging contemptuously towards the distant frame.

Countless people have witnessed the yeti slaying the king, and the sun that hangs high in the sky of the empire is dimmed.

The knight, the black owl, and the magician tried their best to besiege this rebellious madman, vowing to let the blood of this despicable kingslayer splash on the spot, but the spear wielding by the snow monster and the piercing frost magic kept harvesting the surrounding servants. s life.

When the constant stream of guards tried to trap the snow monster to death, magic flashed in the dark, and enchanted arrow clusters rained down, and the knight who was chasing the snow monster was caught off guard and fell dead on the spot.

After regaining consciousness, the snow monster disappeared, leaving only corpses scattered all over the place.

Tania was perhaps more surprised by someone covering the yeti to escape the scene than the yeti regicide, which means that the yeti has the help of some group.

In Solon, who is looking forward to the death of their father, setting off the prelude to change and turmoil?

There are not many answers to choose from, and each one is heavyweight.

Everything happened extremely suddenly, and Tanya, who was too shocked, planned to send a letter to the territory in the early stage of the incident, making preparations for purchasing materials and dealing with large-scale turmoil.

Just when Tanya was about to close the border of the territory and transfer away the treasures of the capital Rodmere, she noticed something strange.

After pacing in the room for a long time, Tanya suddenly realized after her eyes touched Chi Hong and a group of magician followers.

All are true, but one is absolutely false.

Tania didn't see the eighth-level magician of the Imperial Magician Academy, who was supposed to be a member of the "Guards" who accompanied her father like a shadow.

The mystery is almost revealed, but Tanya dare not show that she has seen through everything. She still doesn't know which fish the angler is eager to get, or whether he is greedy and intends to kill the restless fish in the fish pond. Catch them all?

Zenier also sees through the puzzle and dare not tell. He clearly knows that Civita has become a hunting ground, and all ambitious people will be hunted here.

He chose the most stable way to deal with it, helping the hunters maintain order in the arena.

He was more afraid of offending the people in the layout than offending the nobles—even though he already knew the true meaning of his acquisition of the territory.

The two tacitly confirmed their eyes.

"The Yeti might be a windfall," Tania said.

"Maybe not, that's probably why he came here." Zenier said, "If it were me, I would not allow the frontiers of the empire to be affected by the shadows of the past. The ghosts of the past should return to the cemetery to rest in peace, not with Unwilling to sow the seeds of chaos again and again."

"Once and again?" Tanya frowned, she vaguely felt that Zenier knew secrets that she didn't know.

Zenier didn't explain, which made Tania confirm her guess even more.

Tanya stopped talking and got up to say goodbye.

Before leaving, she asked, "Brother...Prince Zenier."

"Call me brother, not many people are willing to call me that."

Tanya was stunned for a moment, this was Zenier's rare gentleness over the years, and his words were very kind... Just like when he was bullied when he was a child, he would stand up for himself.

"Why do you remind me and help me by the way?"

Zenier raised his head, and the softness on his face gradually returned to stiff lines. He kept looking up like a statue standing outside the trial court, and his gaze touched nowhere in time.

For a long time, he stared at Tanya.

"Maybe I'm worried that you'll do something stupid again. Although family ties are often said to be weak, I'm still willing to help a promising younger sister when the time is right."

"Stupid?"

"Lulutis."

Tanya looked gloomy and lowered her head.

"You paid attention the whole time?"

"Yes."

"Are you involved?"

The corner of Zenier's mouth rose.

Tanya sighed with some shame: "Sorry."

"No need to apologize to me, I can understand your vigilance."

Leaving Zenier's mansion, Tanya looked back at the outline of the building hidden in the rain...

"Family..."
