Chapter 311 A sudden visit
After lunch, the simple watchman arranged a separate room for Herot. There was only a stone bed with a layer of hay. There are no windows and the door leaks a little, but it's much better than sleeping in the wild.
The nights in Northern Xinjiang come early and are very cold. After nightfall, most of the watchmen returned to their rooms to rest, with only a few patrolling.
The slave was sitting outside the door, huddled up in a ball, using only thin clothes to resist the cold wind and snow.
Suddenly a blanket was thrown over his head, and a few pieces of bacon were thrown in front of him.
A voice sounded above his head: "I want to go out, don't tell anyone, and don't let anyone in."
The slave raised his head and only saw his master disappearing into the snowy night.
During the chat with the watchman, Herot already knew the general area where Melis lived, which was the tower on the northwest side of the main castle of Snow Castle.
Activating the "stealth" skill that comes with the equipment, Helot's figure gradually disappeared, only the footprints appearing out of thin air on the snow exposed his whereabouts. Fortunately, Helot always had a real stealth master by his side. Snow petals turned into black shadows and swept across the footprints, and the snow returned to its original state.
The detection traps encountered along the way can also be identified by Snowpetal early, and Helot will be reminded to avoid them.
In this way, Herot avoided the watchman patrols and came to the main castle.
This is an almost closed square fortress with sparse windows only more than ten meters high. There is a tower at each of the four corners of the fortress, and at the top of the tower there is an open magic eye to scan. An "invisible" person like Helot can't hide as long as he is illuminated.
Helot stuck in the blind spot of the magic eye's vision and walked slowly against the wall of the fortress, finally arriving at the bottom of the northwest tower.
There is a door under the tower. I pushed it gently and the door was locked from the inside. After listening, you can also hear the sound of a guard behind the door.
Looking up, the tower windows are opened higher, thirty meters above the ground.
If you just climb up like this, you will definitely be illuminated by the magic eyes from other directions, and you won't be able to determine what is behind the window.
When Herot was trying to find a way to enter the tower, a group of people walked through the snow, and they didn't look like watchmen.
Helot immediately stood in the shadow to enhance the invisibility effect, preparing to wait for them to walk past before thinking of a way to enter the tower.
But this group of people walked directly to the door of the tower.
Someone knocked on the door: "Priest Sander is here, open the door quickly!"
In northern Xinjiang, the sacrifices are witch doctors. They continue their outstanding status through the witch doctor skills passed down from generation to generation.
I heard from the watchman that Princess Emmalu Bailey was seriously injured, and this priest named Sander should be here to treat the princess.
A bold idea emerged in Helot's mind.
The iron door opened, and there was indeed a watchman guarding it. Moreover, they are all equipped with sophisticated armors and weapons, and their status is not comparable to that of the watchmen who eat in the snow.
The guard recognized Sacrifice Sander, immediately lowered his head and saluted, and invited the priest and his followers to enter the tower.
Helot saw the right moment to release his "invisibility" and followed the last follower into the tower.
The guard who lowered his head did not notice that there was one more person in the sacrificial team. After everyone came in, he closed the door and bolted it.
Helot, who had successfully sneaked in, followed the sacrificial entourage and walked up the spiral staircase.
At this time, at Helot's residence.
A group of people stood in front of the slave.
A warrior in full armor stepped forward and said, "Please come out, your master. A distinguished guest is coming to visit."
The slave stood up in a hurry. Seeing the gorgeous clothes of the people in front of him, he immediately bowed in fear. He saluted: "Distinguished adults, my master has rested."
"If he falls asleep, go in and wake him up. It is a great honor for my master to come to visit in person!" The slave stood in front of the door without moving, and said in a humble and firm tone: "Dear adults, my master said before taking a break that he would not see any visitors. Can you tell me the names of all of you? When the master wakes up tomorrow, I will tell him to pay a return visit to you all."
"Slave!" the warrior yelled: "If your master knows what you are doing, he will definitely kill you. Chop off your feet and throw you into the ice cave."
The slave knelt on the ground in fear, still blocking the door.
The samurai looked at the door. He believed that his voice was enough to wake up the sleeping people inside.
Sure enough, there was a sound coming from the door.
"My slave made it very clear! I don't want to be disturbed when I am resting."
Along with the sound, there is also majestic pressure of magic energy. The overbearing pressure made the air thicken, and the snowflakes entering the field fell as if in slow motion.
This kind of pressure made the group of people outside the door feel like they were facing a powerful enemy, holding weapons in their hands and ready to fight at any time.
"Master Bonebreaker, I apologize for the offense caused by my servant." A young man wearing a black fur coat walked out of the crowd. He saluted to the door and introduced himself: "My name is Pani. Er Skowo is the eldest son of the owner of Snow Castle, Marquis Skowo. I heard that a powerful mage came to Snow Castle, so I couldn't wait to come to visit, so much so that I ignored that now was not the right time.
Please forgive me! "
The voice inside the door replied: "Since you know that it is not the time to visit, please go back with your followers. "
The Master. Knowing that it was Master Panier who was coming, he still behaved so arrogantly, which immediately aroused the anger of the entourage.
However, Panil stopped his followers' excessive behavior and said to the room: "Bonebreaker Mage, I admire the strength you have shown. It is a discourtesy of the Skovo family to let you live in this simple military building.< br>
I invite you to the main castle, and you will have a room that suits your status, with a soft bed and free hot water.”
The mage inside the door did not appreciate it. : "If I were greedy for pleasure, I would not come to Northern Xinjiang. Only the hardest life can hone my will and achieve my own breakthrough. Thank you for your kindness, Master Panier!
But please do not continue "Don't disturb my rest, I want to get into the best condition to enter the polar regions."
After being rejected continuously, Panier did not show any dissatisfaction, and always had an approachable smile on his handsome face.
"You are an admirable mage. We will not disturb your rest. We look forward to our formal meeting with you tomorrow. Good night, Bonebreaker Mage."
"Thank you for your understanding, Master Panier. "
"See you tomorrow!" Panier saluted, bent back, then turned around and left with his entourage, giving him enough courtesy.
After walking a certain distance, a follower said dissatisfiedly: "Young Master, he is just a wild mage with some strength. You have such a distinguished status and came to see him in person, but he didn't even open the door. It's simply too arrogant. "
Panil stopped and looked up at the sky. The ridges of the icebergs and snow peaks were like giant beasts hiding in the night.
"What level do you think this wild mage's strength is?"
The follower just replied: "The highest level is extraordinary."
Panil chuckled: "I think his lowest level is Extraordinary level two."
"Master, do you think so highly of him?"
"Whether you are right or I am right, his purpose in going to the polar plateau is to serve. Rogrid. After all, the Scovo family lives in the shadow of the Erwin family. They are the solid ice, and we are the falling snow.”
"Master, please don't say such things that offend the Bingxue family."
"I'm just talking to you, you won't tell anyone." Panier smiled generously, and then said: "This time I want to compete with Rogrid to see if I can bring this powerful wild mage under my command."
"Young Master can definitely do it!"
