In Emenas, the fluffy snowflakes continue to fall. After the winter festival party, the college ushered in a short vacation. Although I can't go home, fortunately I can sleep well in the dormitory, or hang out with friends in the club in the college
Play. Whether it’s the bacon bar in the town in the west, the furnace hall in the mountains in the north, the Black Swan Castle in the forest in the east, or the skating rink under the bridge in the south, they are all great places to have fun.
However, in the mountain forest where students rarely visit, a tall tower is still tightly closed. The cold stone tower is covered with snowflakes and blends in with the surrounding environment.
In a corner of the tower, the fireplace was burning brightly. Chris squatted next to it, took out a few roasted sweet potatoes from under the ashes, and patted them gently. Then she peeled off one corner, revealing the sweet orange interior.
White gas overflowed from it and continued to float in the room.
"It's baked. Would you like Tidais and Siye to eat some?" The witch wearing a light pink and white princess dress stood up easily and then turned around.
Not far from the fireplace, there is a small coffee table on the black and white checkered floor. There is a chessboard on it with various chess pieces. Two witches are sitting on both sides of the chessboard. One of them is like a doll.
As petite as one, the other has rare blond hair and silver eyes.
"So, our side wins this time." Tidais picked up a white three-dimensional chess piece and touched it lightly, then took a black lion head chess piece off the chessboard.
"I have to say that Si Ye is still very powerful. Little Luolan was almost fooled. Unfortunately, she is not the kind of greedy person who will not let go of the treasure once she has caught it. Temperance and sobriety are indeed rare qualities." Tidais held the lace.
Folding fan, covering her face slightly, looking at the motionless doll girl in front of her.
"Well, our side lost this time." Si Ye's face as white as porcelain was not surprised, and he nodded calmly.
"According to the previous agreement, Yibel will withdraw from the scene and will no longer participate in subsequent battles, and you can make a simple request." Si Ye continued.
"The request is nothing. It's just that Ibel is not allowed to reveal little Lorraine's identity to other witches or the empire's senior officials. After all, she is still too weak and needs to develop." Tidais said the conditions she had prepared long ago.
"It's acceptable." Si Ye nodded.
"Did you actually choose this? I thought Tidais wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to ask for an extra spot and let your witch take action." Chris broke open a small piece of sweet sweet potato, tasted it in small bites, and then popped it.
Sitting on the soft sofa, revealing the pink and white stockings under her skirt.
"So sweet~ Don't you really want one? It's very tiring sitting next to the chessboard every day." The mirror witch happily ate snacks.
"You should take a break once in a while, especially Si Ye. He has only retired ten years ago and is starting to do this kind of mental calculation again. It always feels like you can't take any time off."
"Kris." Si Ye puffed up her cheeks slightly to stop the mirror witch's unstoppable words.
"Okay, okay, it's rare that you become serious this time, so I won't disturb you anymore."
"Who are you going to play with later? Or go to Tehua's to see? Last time I snatched Keti from her hand, I don't know if her anger has subsided. If it doesn't work, I will prepare some gifts." Keti.
Liz finished the sweet potato in her hand, sat up, and thought for a moment, a slight ringing sounded in the room.
Two beautiful metal bells were tied together, with green leaves and tiny berries hanging in them, hanging in the corner of the room, and they suddenly started to sway.
"This is..." Chris suddenly remembered something, then tapped the front, and a silver magic mirror rose from the ground.
There was a faint light on the mirror, and then two symmetrical emerald red colors were reflected, and a witch in full dress walked out gently.
"Long time no see, Chris." She has shoulder-length blond hair, and is wearing a shawl dress that overlaps on the left and right sides. The style is slightly gorgeous, and her white wrists are wrapped with slender golden chains.
After lifting her skirt and bowing, the witch revealed her red and green eyes, showing an amazing charm. And even among witches, this witch's appearance can be said to be quite outstanding.
"Ayhekatri, it's rare to see you." Tides' clear voice came from the side, and the witch with strange-colored eyes turned to look at the two people at the table.
"Hello, Tidais." This witch seemed to have rarely interacted with Tidais before.
"Are you going to end up here this time too? In this case, little Luolan will be too dangerous." Tidais looked at the Gemini Witch and asked. Among Si Ye's faction, the Gemini Witch is extremely mysterious.
Tidais didn't know much about her, but her strength was extraordinary. She was ranked among the top ten witches. She was a curious existence like a rose hidden in mist.
"I will remain neutral for the time being." The witch shook her head and then continued.
"But it depends on the performance of all parties. According to the past oaths, as long as the red and green roses continue to rule this country, I will bless and protect them."
"In this case, it's not unacceptable." Tidaisi said thoughtfully.
Next, the four of them sat by the chessboard and looked at the chess pieces on it. Then Si Ye acted again and placed a small chess piece on the east side of the chessboard.

In the Viscounty of Moruo, after the flames burned, the forest was filled with gray dust, and carbonized dead branches and warmth remained on the charred ground. People walking in it felt warm under their feet, or even burned the soles of their shoes.
Owen, the captain of the castle's guard, led a search in the mountains, looking for possible survivors. Naturally, his main target was the owner of the castle, Viscount Moreau.
"Still not found?" Kevin stood at the edge of the charred forest and asked the people who came to report.
"Captain, this mountain has been climbed. According to the guests who escaped last night, many magical beasts attacked at that time. Perhaps Lord Mo Ruo..."
"Shut up and keep looking." Kevin frowned and waved his hands, he couldn't accept such a result.
"Yes, captain." The guard sighed and continued walking up the mountain covered with white ash.
Near noon, someone finally discovered the passage hidden under the ashes of vegetation.
"Here, captain! We have found the butler." The guard shouted loudly.
A group of people gathered around him. The formerly healthy butler seemed to have aged more than ten years overnight. After he woke up, his face was still filled with fear.
"No, don't come here...don't eat me." He was trembling and shaking, as if he was still immersed in the fear of the roar of the monster last night.
"Where is Master Mo Ruo? Master Mo Ruo." Looking at the overly frightened housekeeper, others asked anxiously, but the answers they received were still the same repetitions.
A week later, the gentlemen in the territory finally confirmed that Viscount Moreau died in the fire. Miraculously, after the fire and the attack by the monsters that night, the forest calmed down again, and there were no more attacks by the monsters. Everything
It seems as if the peace of the past has returned.
After losing this nobleman, the guards in the city seemed to be severely affected. For a while, everyone felt more relaxed than when Viscount Moreau was alive. Or maybe this could be the beginning of a new life?
At the headquarters of the Röntgen Chamber of Commerce, members were loading boxes of goods onto carriages. Now that the snow on the road is gradually melting, it is time to set off again.
"Is Miss Mesia here?" Charlene knocked on the door gently, and then a sleepy-eyed girl opened the door. She was wearing simple white pajamas and seemed not to wake up.
"It's time to go, Mecia." She helped the girl simply arrange her hair.
"Since you came back from the last banquet, you have been sleepy every day. Did you encounter any trouble? Everyone was running away at that time, and many people never came back."
"Well, I encountered a very powerful monster at that time, ha~." Lorraine Hill felt very sleepy, and the sequelae of borrowing power were still bothering her, and it was estimated that she would have to sleep for a few weeks to gradually recover.
"Okay, let's sleep on the road. You are the anchor of our caravan. If everyone can't see the lovely and brave Miss Mecia, they will be very disappointed." Charlene said jokingly and hugged this person.
A cute girl patted her back gently.
"By the way, didn't you say before that you still have to find your lost distant sister Lottie?"
"Would you like to go to Chixin Province with us this time? It is the center of the Southern Territory and the most prosperous place. If you go there, you should be able to get some clues. After all, that is where information from all parties gathers."
"It is said that there is a Dragon Cliff Mountain Range in Red Heart Province, where giant dragons with fiery red scales live. Many people who travel there will buy one or two dragon scales as souvenirs. The blood-winged red dragons of the Paskar family in the past also
Most of them come from here.”
"The Red Heart Province is also known as the heart of the Southern Territory. If you go there, you can put your talents to use."
Charlene looked at the blond girl and sighed in her heart, sooner or later the two of them would be separated.
After all, no matter how young a dragon is, it will fly high in the wind one day and will not stay under the shade of trees forever.
