Chapter 1312 Trapped by Snowstorm

The snowstorm hanging over the City of Silver still showed no signs of stopping. This was very abnormal. In previous years, the weather had already started to warm up at this time of year, but this year's winter seemed reluctant to go away. I wonder what this was portending.

Oldie squatted on her seat, wrapped herself in a blanket and curled herself into a ball, as if only in this way could she feel warm.

The fire crackled in the fireplace, but it did little to divert Aldair's attention from the parchment until she heard a tap on the glass on the other side.

When I turned around, I saw a snowy owl appeared by the window. It was standing there shivering in the wind, and its brown and yellow eyes seemed to be saying, "Open the window for me quickly, I'm freezing to death."

Alde opened the window, and the magical pet named Nyx jumped in quickly. After throwing a letter bucket on the table, it immediately flew to the ground next to the fireplace to dry the snow on its wings.

The letter was sent by Ivan in the Academic City. This warlock with witch bloodline has been in frequent contact with Olde recently.

Pulling out the parchment hidden in the letter barrel, Alde whispered a few spells, and all the words on the parchment that was originally filled with greetings and other meaningless nonsense were twisted and rearranged.

This is a magic letter that can prevent the message from being leaked if intercepted by outsiders.

After reading a few sentences, Aldea's brows suddenly furrowed.

Ivan said that Academic City was recently involved in a scandal, where one of the officers in charge of running the city was found to have secretly obtained research results.

The Academic City is more like a company with many research institutes under its umbrella than a city. It has no city lord and only recruits managers to keep the city running. They only have management power but no decision-making power.

The private reselling of Academic City's research results is the most intolerable crime. Many scholars who are concerned about this aspect have taken to the streets to protest and demand that the matter be investigated thoroughly.

It is true that these people are old scholars, but they are not stupid. They know very well that an operations officer does not have the ability or the courage to resell research results privately. If no explanation is given that satisfies everyone, this will seriously shake the foundation of the academic city.

This city was originally composed of a group of wizards and scholars who like to study everything in the world. If the fruits of their labor cannot be protected, then there is no need for this city to exist.

Ivan told this to Oldie because she felt it might be related to the Devil God and the Seven Apostles.

There are many research results that are being resold privately, and they are still being verified. However, among the verified parts, there are many magic arrays and spells for breaking seals and isolating certain areas. Ivan feels that the other resold results are just a sleight of hand, and this is the main purpose.

The buyer is not clear at the moment, there are many middlemen, and the investigation is difficult. The only thing that can be confirmed at present is that the nobles in the Subia Demon Kingdom were involved in this incident, but it is not clear whether it was the will of the state or personal behavior.

The Subia Demon Kingdom, a country that was driven into autism by the Demon God, is the one that led this incident. It's obvious that something is wrong at first glance.

Ivan's feeling was correct. They were closed off from the outside world on the surface, but were actually active in secret. This gave people the same feeling as the current situation of the seven apostles.

But neither Ivan nor Oldie understood the purpose of reselling these research results.

Finally, at the end of the letter, Ivan also mentioned that the activities of the followers of the Centipede Lord seemed to have become stronger recently.

Although the Lord of the Centipedes is an evil god who cannot see the light of day, his followers are mainly active in the Demon Kingdom of Oswaya, which is actually not far from the Academic City.

Their activities are generally assassinations, but this is also the part that Ivan doesn't understand. These followers of the Centipede Lord did not start the previous assassination activities, but instead seemed to be migrating as a whole.

Now that the gods have fallen, there should be no one who can command these believers who are mainly killers, but they do show clear organization.

Because the followers of the Centipede Lord once tried to assassinate Viola, Ivan brought up this matter, hoping that Oldie would be more careful.

After reading the last line, Aldea pinched the letter between two fingers and swung it. The blue flames immediately burned the letter from beginning to end into ashes.

She threw away the blanket, stretched out her hand, and her staff flew over, making Nyx look at her in surprise.

"The maid will prepare fresh meat for you. Tell Ivan when you get back that I will be going to the front line soon." As the last two people with royal blood, when Viola leads the troops to war, Oldie must stay in the royal city as insurance.

But now, the situation is different. Oldie has a vague feeling that an encirclement against Viola seems to be forming.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

It was not only Aulday who was troubled by the wind and snow, but also Yang Yiyi.

It might be impossible to return to Wujiazhuang before the Chinese New Year, so Yang Yiyi and Wu Shaoyi can only celebrate the New Year outside.

That would be fine, but the closer we get to the end of the year, the worse the weather becomes, which makes it hard to bear.

When I was in the Western Regions, there was little precipitation in the desert, so I didn't feel anything special. When I was sitting on Tang Lianyu's big ship on the way back, I usually stayed in the cabin, so naturally I didn't have any impression.

But by the time the two were walking, the feeling was all too clear.

At present, they are still in the north of the Central Plains, and everything is covered with snow. Because of the heavy snow, many carriages that were ready to set off have stopped, so the two have to stay temporarily in a small town.

They found an inn and ordered some side dishes. As they were eating, Wu Shaoyi's ears moved slightly. She heard the people at the next table seemed to be talking about things on the northern border.

Long before everyone set out for the Western Regions, the war had already broken out in the north, and Princess Mingzhu was running around playing around under the pretext of praying for the soldiers on the front line.

These gossips cannot reveal the battle situation on the front line, but what is certain is that there is no loss or win.

The threat from outside the Great Wall has always existed. For now, the situation in the Western Regions and Southern Xinjiang has calmed down temporarily, but in the north, it has become even more intense.

When it comes to invading the Central Plains, the northerners are more active than anyone else outside the Great Wall. After all, many of them were originally from the Central Plains and dream of returning to the land where their ancestors lived.

The current situation of the battle is not so intense, it should only be temporary. It would be good if the North retreats in the face of difficulties. Otherwise...

It is estimated that the next big event in the martial arts world will be related to the North.

Wu Shaoyi did not tell Yang Yiyi what he was thinking. This girl was very straightforward and could not keep secrets.

However, Wu Shaoyi's sensitive ears also heard some good news.

For example, there is information about the Liu family.

There were people from all walks of life in the inn, and Wu Shaoyi's sensitive ears allowed her to eavesdrop on the private conversations of people several tables away.

There were gossips like the Liu family bullying men and women, the elders of the Liu family eating the hearts and minds of children, and even people in the Liu family liked to steal secret manuals from other sects. There were also some comments like "I can't believe that the Liu family, who appear to be such decent people on a daily basis, are actually so despicable behind the scenes."

Some of these rumors are true and some are false. The point is not whether they are true or false, but that they are really being spread.

Someone is working in the dark, and even the traveling merchants in the inn have heard about it. It is very clear that they are trying to create public opinion.

Shen Qingluo did not break her promise. She said that after returning from the Western Regions, she would start to clear out the traitors in the martial arts world. It seemed that the Liu family would be the first to be hit.

If they want to watch this good show, Wu Shaoyi and Yang Yiyi have to speed up, otherwise they will miss the show.
