"His Majesty?"

When Nash saw Isrel not saying anything for a long time, he immediately asked with some concern.

The opinions of this group of people in the church are too transcendent, which makes His Majesty angry?

This is indeed possible. No matter what, Count Radcliff is a nobleman of the empire. How could the church ask for it? And even if he asks the Count to help, he will have to send a few people to hand over formal documents and issue a solemn invitation, which is considered respect.

When the middle-aged warrior thought of this, he couldn't help but nod. Although such steps seemed a bit cumbersome, the formal process of communication between major forces was like this. It was impossible to want people in just one sentence.

"It's really interesting...and right, Eagle is not a fool either."

On the side, Isrell did not look angry. He just knocked on the seat guard rhythmically, nodding while thinking: "The church is now dealing with dragon disaster. They borrowed the Fusion Star from me, probably to go deep into a certain area polluted by chaos. Now, even the Fusion Star is not enough to meet their requirements..."

Speaking of this, he did not continue.

The fusion star collected by the Delmond royal family is indeed not a powerful treasure just in terms of purification ability. After all, there are huge differences between various positive energy. The positive energy similar to sunlight used by the fusion star is naturally the best choice, but neither purification nor healing ability is as good as the holy light.

In terms of pure purification, the holy light is not as good as the "power of order" left by the sages.

If the Holy Mountain of the Far Sea was not to retain its strength and respond to the concentrated attack of the main force of the Crazy Dragon, there was actually no need to seek help from the Empire. But now, Isrell believes that the church is obviously in big trouble in that polluted area, and can only place hope on Joshua, who has the power of order.

As for why it is not Brandon, the answer is very simple. Not long ago, Robzek and Saya had seen Joshua take action with their own eyes and had a conversation. It was a little bit related. The blonde swordsman had returned to the North at that time, and they had never seen him or were not familiar with him.

People will naturally choose what they are familiar with and understand.

"This is not a bad thing."

Isrell shook his head when he noticed Nash's worried expression on the side, and he thought for a while, then said, "Radcliff's strength is recognized by the Seven Gods Church. This is a kind of honor, but even as the emperor, I cannot force a real-world nobleman to stay away from his territory and go to the far south of the continent."

"So, Nash, tell Nostradamus about this and he will tell you."

His Majesty the Emperor gave the order straightforward and neat way: "As for whether to agree to the church's invitation, it depends entirely on the mood of our Northland Earl."

On the same day, Niceier Snow Mountain, Winter Fort College.

Like an iceberg, four-fifths of the Winter Castle Academy are located within the mountain, only one-fifth of which is exposed. There are two reasons for this construction. First, there is not enough space on the entire snow-capped mountain to build the academy. Second, the temperature inside the mountain is much warmer than the outside world, and it is more suitable for human life.

At this time, in the deepest part of the academy, in the snow-capped mountains, on the big ring that was watched by everyone, a battle between apprentices had come to an end.

"You lost, Amira."

The open sword body was placed on the girl's weak shoulders, and the blade emitting cold light was pressed against her fair neck. The boy, who was nominally her brother, said in a calm tone: "I won this time."

"Okay...you won this time, my brother."

Realizing that she was unable to turn the world around, the girl sighed helplessly. She turned her head slightly and could see the silver sword light reflecting the faces of the two of them. Knowing that things were not done, the girl named Amira simply put down the short bow that she was about to pull out and raised her hands to express her surrender: "Congratulations, by the way, Ivan, when did you learn sword skills?"

This was indeed a question that puzzled her very much. You know, the girl always thought that her brother had learned some archery skills from her father, who was a hunter, just like her. Who knew that he could have exquisite sword skills, which was beyond expectations.

“Teacher Theodore taught me.”

Seeing that his sister had completely given up on resistance, Ivan shrugged and retracted the sword that was placed on the other party's neck: "He said that as a mage, at least you must learn a close-fitting fighting technique, otherwise you will sometimes fall into a passive position."

"No matter what, I really didn't expect that you would really set off a sword at your sister." Shaking your head, Amira said with some emotion: "You clearly said that you will protect me for the rest of your life!"

"My good sister."

Ivan sneered, not to be outdone, “When you put out the fireballs and lightning arrows on me, you were not very merciful.”

"snort."

After talking, the young man who relaxed his sword came back to his senses. His whole body was wet with nervous sweat, especially his forehead, which was covered with dense sweat.

Obviously, the battle with his sister was not easy, and this victory was just a narrow victory.

But no matter what, I won.

Ivan whispered to himself in his heart.

I defeated Amira.

I won the final ring match in this comprehensive evaluation!

It was not until this time that the real feeling called victory slowly appeared in Ivan's heart, which made the boy clench his fists and almost let out an irresistible cheer.

Amira won the first place in the written test, and he was fifth. However, the young man was the first in the Wild Survival and the ring competition, so his total score ranked first for two weeks. The longest comprehensive evaluation since the opening of Winter Castle Academy finally ended with his victory of Ivan Makarov!

What a difficult two weeks, first two days of continuous written examinations for the whole subject, and then six and a half days of survival in the wilderness. After three days of rest, it was a nervous and breathless ring game!

Ivan can still recall the six nights he spent alone in the white frost forest. Through the pre-planning, he defeated Frost Slime step by step, grabbed three Frost butterflies, and successfully hunted a big wild boar. Although there were many accidents in the middle, with his good personal ability and perfect plan, he achieved the best result in the first place in the wilderness survival points.

But who knows that in order to kill the Frost Slime, he spent most of the night playing hide-and-seek with the other party. In the end, he relied on the restraint of the morning sunlight to kill the creature that was like jelly but had strange magic resistance?

Not to mention the ice butterfly and the big wild boar, they are both very dangerous. In terms of the damage ability alone, creatures with many times more terrifying damage than slimes. If it weren't for the past life, Ivan knew their weaknesses and habits, the boy might not be able to do anything about these weak monsters.

The next ring match was relatively simple. Due to insufficient magic, most students knew that they might not be able to release many spells on the stage, so they chose some of their usual weapons as auxiliary.

Ivan was no exception. He chose a cross sword as his weapon, while his sister Amira chose bows and arrows as auxiliary tools.

The battle on the ring is hard. Although Ivan's talent is not at the top of the entire academy, it is also an excellent category. Moreover, in terms of reaction speed and practical ability, he is definitely among the best. With his uncautionary cautious attitude and good swordsmanship, he successfully defeated all his opponents and came to the finals to fight with his sister.

As the person with the strongest elemental affinity in the entire academy, Amira's progress in spells is indeed much stronger than her brother. Along the way, she defeated all other opponents in a crushing manner. Even Ivan would find it difficult to persevere. However, Amira was just an apprentice after all, and there were few spells that could be used. Ivan was also the person who knew her the most, so when the boy supported her until her magic was exhausted, the situation began to reverse.

Outside the ring, the students were cheering for the winners, and all the mentors nodded and applauded. The final battle was just a small matter for them, but for the apprentices, it was wonderful. The persistence and wisdom displayed in it were also worthy of applause from their teachers.

In a daze, Ivan, as the winner, was led by Theodore to an office on the top floor of the college.

"Go and open the door."

The brunette mage lowered his voice and said to the boy in an encouraging tone: "Due to some trivial matters, Lord Lord doesn't show up in front of the apprentice. This time he will give you a special reward for the first place alone."

"……yes!"

Hearing the words of the instructor, Ivan escaped from the joy of victory. He looked at the door with the sword-holding emblem in front of him, took a deep breath to calm his emotions.

Then he opened the door.

The afternoon sun shines from the skylight on the top floor, adding a little warmth to this cool tone environment. The dark brown iron wood planks absorb all the noise and make the whole room look particularly quiet.

A man in a black coat sat behind a wide desk, reading an ancient book full of historical sense, with a standard posture and a serious expression, as if attracted by the information in the book, and was thinking seriously.

He had straight black hair and red eyes, and his strong facial features seemed to be carved from the hardest rocks. It was obvious that he was the honorary dean of the Winter Castle Vocational College, the lord of Moldavia, and Joshua van Radcliffe.

“Ivan Makarov.”

Just when the boy was a little at a loss, a low and clear male voice came from behind the desk. The black-haired man closed the book in his hand. He turned his head and said calmly: "You have achieved the best result in the comprehensive evaluation."

"Congratulations."

Ivan raised his head and looked at the place where the sound was made. This was the first time he had looked at Joshua so formally, so in an instant, his mind suffered a terrible shock.

It seemed as if all colors and light disappeared in an instant, and the whole world fell into endless darkness. In the darkness, there was no sense of touch, no sense of smell, no direction, and even the passage of time could not be felt. Only a war cry that seemed to come from the distant sky surrounded the ears, deafening.

At this moment, the boy felt his legs weak. He almost knelt on the ground. Thanks to the door handle on his side, he did not fall down. He leaned against the door, and Ivan covered his ears with a pale face and gasped.

"The dragon's... dragon power..."

He whispered to himself: "It's so terrible... I feel like I'll be eaten soon, this is Dragon Power..."

When he spoke, Ivan's voice and body trembled, but it seemed as if there was a sense of faith in his heart. The boy gritted his teeth and gradually escaped from the heartfelt fear.

fear?

How can this work?

His goal is to become the strongest dragon slayer in this world!

For revenge and to be able to repay his blood debts, he has been working so hard. Should he surrender to the dragon power now? Submission to the pressure that all dragon beasts have?

joke!

Even if he dies, he will never retreat because of fear!

In order to do so, he slowly straightened his back. Even though his body was still shaking slightly due to fear, he was still standing straight at the gate, and his expression gradually became firm.

“It’s really good.”

Looking at Ivan's performance with some surprise, a light flashed in Joshua's eyes. He pointed to the pun and said to the boy: "You have passed the test."

Because of his terrifying negative charm, Joshua cannot appear in front of most students in the academy now, unless he wants to see all the students fall into a coma in a group, so the warrior specifically asked Theodore to bring the first person in total points to his office, and he will award the award separately.

First of all, it is to take care of other students, and secondly, it is to allow this future dragon owner to undergo a test of simulated dragon power.

No matter what, this is a dragon. Even a young dragon is a very dangerous existence. Not only can timid people not take good care of it, but they will be injured by it. It is not a bad thing for this future dragon riding mage to learn to adapt to dragon power.

But the facts proved that Ivan was even better than he thought. In just over a dozen seconds, he escaped from the extreme fear brought by pressure and woke up. This proved that the next time he encountered Dragon Power, the boy might not feel afraid.

"come over."

Speaking with a smile, Joshua took out an exquisite silver metal box from the side, with dense magic patterns painted on the outer layer: "This is your reward."

Ivan took a deep breath, looked at the idol he admired in front of him, and then slowly walked to the desk, and the warrior handed him the silver box.

"Thank you... Thank you Lord."

"You can tell that you already know what's inside."

Joshua looked at the boy who was a little confused and didn't know what to say, nodded slightly and encouraged, "This is what you deserve, you don't need to be afraid of it."

"This dragon egg..."

Suddenly, the warrior stopped talking. He turned his head and looked at his gate. At that place, strange time and space fluctuations were spreading.

Then, a very regular knock came.
