Surrounded by mountains, the lake under the Nissie Snow Mountain will not be attacked by winds in any direction. It is like a mirror, allowing the floating clouds in the sky to flutter rapidly due to the north wind, without any ripples.

From the distance between the halfway up the mountain where the college is located to the snow lake at the foot of the mountain, there is a sloping woodland, with steel core trees and cedars scattered. It is October now, late autumn and early winter, all the shrubs that were originally lush have withered, and only large patches of brown debris and some pine cones are left on the ground.

Such woodlands are the favorite habitat of cedar rabbits. Their nests are usually under the cedar trees and are covered by loose wood chips. These creatures with white fur live by hoarding pine cones in winter. Because they can cast the most basic frost touch spell, they can barely be regarded as a kind of monster, and their demon-protecting fur has certain commercial value.

Next to a cedar on the lakeside, Ying sat on a gray-white stone. Her long silver-white hair was tied into a refreshing ponytail. The girl in a lady's horseback riding suit narrowed her green eyes and used the branches in her hand to pound the bonfire in front of her.

The flames in the fire changed their shape as she fiddled with them. The sparks of Mars splashed out with black smoke, and some even fell on the girl's fair wrist.

But Ying didn't care about this temperature, she seemed to feel a little bored. She raised her hands lazily, whispered, and pulled out a long tail sound. The girl stretched her waist, swaying her ponytail, and swept her hair across her slender waist.

"Sister, it's not good to be so lazy."

And while Ying was stretching, a clear teenager sounded from the girl's left back. When she heard this sound, Ying immediately turned around, and then the black-haired teenager holding two cedar rabbits in her hand came into her eyes.

"Only a few minutes, Lin, you actually caught two rabbits..."

Standing up, she said in surprise: "Did you prepare it for the master?"

"yes."

He said with a smile. The black-haired boy skillfully took out a complete set of kitchen utensils and tableware from the storage bag on his waist. He put it in place and said, "The master will definitely be a little tired when he comes to the bottom of the lake to explore this time, and he will definitely be a little annoyed when he eats the food on the college construction site. Even if the owner can bear it, we must prepare to give him a surprise. Such a delicious wild game is definitely a good choice."

"It's so good... I think much more clearly than I do."

When Ying heard her brother's explanation, she seemed disappointed. She looked up at the sun covered by the fast-flowing clouds, and whispered to herself: "I can do nothing except fight with my master."

Before waiting for her brother to be stunned for a moment, the girl sighed and her eyes were a little dim: "I can't handle government affairs, and I don't know how to allocate supplies. Although I can make some cooking, I can't compare with you at all. Even if I take care of horses and do housework, it's no different from an ordinary maid and groom. I always feel that I can't help my master no matter what..."

Slowly sat back on the stone, the silver-haired girl hugged her knees with her hands, and her whole body curled up, looking listless as if she had been abandoned: "Does the master really need me... She is very strong even if she doesn't use weapons..."

"Sister, why do you want so much?"

However, no one cared about the delicate girlish heart that Miss Shenji occasionally showed. I don’t know if it was gradually assimilated by his master or if it was like this in its original personality. Rin showed a bright smile. After shouting, he threw a rabbit into his sister’s arms: “Hi! Then!”

"Wooah!!"

She took the Cedar Rabbit who was already unconscious in panic. Ying couldn't help frowning after exclaiming. She said to Lin angrily: "What are you doing? I'll throw this thing over suddenly!"

But Rin did not answer this question, but said with a relaxed look on her face: "Let's prepare together."

"……What?"

"I said, let's prepare his lunch for the host."

Rin nodded and explained in detail: "Aren't you complaining that you are useless? Only those who are too leisurely can say this kind of nonsense. Come and help me prepare food for the owner. Wouldn't it be useful?"

“…”

The small mouth opened slightly. Ying wanted to speak several times, but she didn't know what to say. She shook her head and was about to sigh, but suddenly she laughed: "You're right."

It turns out that I was too idle to suddenly have this kind of thought.

The silver-haired girl began to feel ashamed of her previous loss. She immediately stood up and put her ponytail on her shoulders to cover up her neck that was beginning to turn red because of a little embarrassment: "Okay, what do I need to do?"

"First..."

When Joshua stood on Hei's head, broke through the calm lake and came to the temporary camp by the lake, what he was waiting for was a rich rabbit barbecue.

"Good job, two little guys."

The warrior, who was originally thinking heavily because of the ruins of the ancient battlefield at the bottom of the lake, temporarily gave up on continuing to think about those questions that had no answers. He laughed and hugged his two weapons. However, with Joshua's height, at the moment he straightened his waist, Ying and Lin both had to leave the ground with their feet.

But who cares about these things?

Just as the master and servant were enjoying barbecue on the lakeside, a knight wearing white armor was walking in the wilderness outside the northern outskirts of the empire.

Due to the existence of the Black Forest, the border guards between countries are not so strict. As long as there is a formal document, no one can freely move and travel between countries. Therefore, the knights traveled from far south, passed through the west mountain, and finally arrived at the Northern Empire, and did not encounter too many obstacles during the journey.

Of course, getting lost is one, and it is probably one who helps those civilians harassed by monsters, robbers and bandits.

Lorlanda Glamorgan was the name of a certain Eastern Plains Kingdom nobleman, and now he prefers to call him Knight Lorlanda, and he is proud of this title.

As the most powerful paladin of the younger generation of the Seven Gods Church, Loranda, who has the golden peak strength, naturally has the ability to fly or summon war horses in the heavenly realm to travel quickly. However, since he was originally thinking of training along the way, he would not deliberately do these things that would reduce the difficulty for himself.

If you want to know the answer or the truth, there is the truth about the sealed lands closely related to Chaos. This is the motivation for the young paladin to start his own experience. Loranda clearly understands his adoptive father, that is, the character of the pope. Since the old man would not tell him the truth, even if he died, he could not speak.

But after all, he was his adoptive father, and the Pope did not remain silent as usual. After Loranda's repeated begging, he still gave him an important clue.

The sealed land in the north is one of the areas eroded by chaos, just like the plague land in the west, where there are chaotic monsters that are similar but completely different from the plague land.

And the lord of that land, the Radcliffe family of Moldavia, naturally knew that some of the information about chaos was known.

"Just as I can't tell you, all the guardian families will not easily tell the secret of chaos. It is knowledge that should be hidden deep in the heart, or even completely forgotten."

On the white crystal seat, the old pope gently told his adopted son some secrets that ordinary people had never heard of: "This is the oath of order and a method of protecting the world. As long as the knowledge of chaos is not widely circulated, the power of the gods can block the most evil sight in the void. I should not have told you this, but after all, you will take over the scepter in my hand in the future, so make an exception once."

The Paladin actually couldn't understand these words at all, but he still kept these secrets firmly in his mind.

The Pope's narration has not stopped: "There are many areas eroded by chaos in this world, but the sealed land in the north is different from other places, and the guardian family there is also very different from other ordinary guardians. If the guardians of other regions are willing to tell you this information, they can only say a few words, then the 'them' who have inheritance will definitely completely answer your doubts."

"What is inheritance?"

Frowning, the Paladin asked in such confusion at that time.

"As long as you see it, you will know."

And the old man at that time replied so calmly.

Retracting the doubts that surged in his heart, Loranda, who was walking on the Avenue to Moldavia, shook his head. He continued to wear his heavy armor and heavy hammers that ordinary people could not lift at all, walking on the northern land that had begun to become a little cold.

The Paladin, who was once full of energy and was proud of his own achievements, has become much calmer during the journey of several months. A person's experience has really gained a lot, both in terms of personality and strength, and has further understood the hardships of life.

In order to protect innocent civilians without power, he waved his weapons and repelled countless monster dragon species, robbers and bandits. In the continuous battle, the Paladins had a deeper understanding of protection and order.

He believed that as long as he arrived in Moldavia and saw the guardian family mentioned by his adoptive father, he would be able to achieve the final breakthrough regardless of whether he had obtained the truth or not.

"I hope the end of this journey will not disappoint me."
