"I think, with Mr. SilverAsh's connections, he should know about the riots that happened in Longmen, Rhodes Island."

"..."

After saying this, Yinhui didn't say anything else. His eagle-like eyes stared at Chen Qi, but Chen Qi didn't even look at him and was still playing with the soup spoon in his hand.

"...How can I trust you?" SilverAsh said this after a long time.

"Since we are all here." Chen Qi finally put down the soup spoon in his hand, watched the spoon sink into the thick soup, and said lightly:

"With us this time, all the highest-ranking commanders in Rhodes Island are here."

"If we don't have the confidence, Mr. Silver Gray, why don't we just be more efficient and send some officers who can act faster?"

"……Ah."

Yinhui was stunned for a long while after hearing this. After a long time, he let out a soft laugh.

A laugh that he himself didn't know what it meant. A laugh of ridicule? A laugh of sarcasm? Or a laugh of joy?

SilverAsh didn't know, he only knew that this boy, who looked much younger than him, seemed... very interesting.

He knew a lot of what SilverAsh was worried about, and he also knew the difficulties he was facing. However, after seeing all this clearly, he still came to Kjerag and told SilverAsh that he could help him.

What is this? Knowing that there are dangers ahead, but still wanting to share the hardships with him?

Not to mention that they had only known each other for half an hour, even if someone really said this to Yinhui, Yinhui would still be wary of the other person.

There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. Those who help you do so not because they value Silver Gray, but because they value what Silver Gray represents.

What do these people from Rhodes Island value so much about me? SilverAsh couldn't help but think so, but apart from his Kalan trade and arms, he had no idea what else he had that was worthy of being valued so much by others.

"…What do you want?"

"It's simple. We need the help of a great warlord who can fully control Kjerag so that we can cooperate with Kjerag for mutual benefit."

"...Who do you think has a better chance of winning, me or the Council of Elders?"

"This question is even simpler."

Chen Qi shook his head, then drew a line in the middle of the soup in the bowl with his finger and said lightly:

“Whether it is 49% or 51%, it may seem like a difference of only 2%, but whoever controls that 2% will know who controls the real majority.”

"We don't need to control the entire market 51%, as long as we get 49%, then the remaining %, no matter how big it is, can't beat the other side."

"Mr. Silver Gray, to you, Miss Hatsuyuki is the 2% that is enough to shake the entire situation."

"In other words, as long as we can ensure that Miss Hatsuyuki is safe, then according to your method, weakening most of the power of the Council of Elders... shouldn't be a difficult task, right?"

"After all, the Council of Elders is only the one who conveys the oracle, and the first person to receive the oracle can only be the Saint."

"……who are you?"

The more he listened, the more frightened he became. This boy... seemed to know everything? It was as if he had escaped from his brain. Whatever he was worrying about, whatever he was worried about, whatever he was thinking about... nothing could escape his eyes.

How much did he know? Did Kjerag have no secrets in his eyes?

For the first time, SilverAsh had the intention to kill a child who looked so much younger than him. If it wasn't too stupid to do so in this situation, he would really draw his sword and kill him.

This person... is too dangerous. He knows so many secrets. If anyone else knew about this, they would want to kill him!

He told me all this... Could it be that he was confident and believed that he would cooperate with them?

However, just when Silver Gray had thousands of doubts in his mind.

Suddenly, a long and distant voice broke the silent atmosphere, causing Yinhui's whole body to tense up.

This signal was sent by the messenger!

How could it be? How could it be exposed so quickly?!

"Master!" Jiaofeng, who was outside the door, pushed the door open suddenly and spoke to the group of people with a serious face.

"Everyone, we don't have time to explain now, please leave quickly!"

Jiaofeng ran in one direction without saying a word, and although the people from Rhodes Island looked confused, they still followed Jiaofeng's footsteps.

Jiaofeng suddenly opened a door and shouted into the room:

"Second Miss! Please leave quickly! People from the Elders' Council are here!"

"These people are from Rhodes Island. They are here to escort you out! Please don't doubt it, leave now!"

Inside the house, there was a pretty girl who was about fifteen or sixteen years old with short snow-white hair. Although the incident happened suddenly, the girl was not panicked at all.

Obviously, such a thing seemed to have been expected by her.

"Hello, are you from Rhodes Island?" The girl came in front of Chen Qi and the others and spoke very quickly:

"My name is Enshia, I know a quick way to get out of here, please follow me!"

"Let's go!" Chen Qi said to the people around him without saying a word, and followed Enxia's footsteps to climb out through the window.

However, not long after he turned over, a strange whistle sounded in the air again.

"We've been discovered!" Enxia obviously understood the meaning behind the whistle, and immediately said anxiously: "Time is running out! The people from the Elders' Council will be here in a minute!"

For the races that grew up on the snowy mountains, one minute was as easy as walking on flat ground. But for people like Chen Qi who lived in the plains, it was a problem how many steps they could walk in such snow in one minute.

You will definitely be caught up!

"——We need someone to cover the rear and delay the time."

Chen Qi said this, and without saying anything, he took off his white coat, then covered the doctor's black robe with it, and said to the group of people:

"Shuangxing and I will buy you some time. You should leave now!"

"——What nonsense! How could I abandon you!"

Ifrit's eyes widened immediately upon hearing this, however, before Ifrit could finish his words, Chen Qi's order had already been issued.

"Frost Star!"

"I see."

Frost Star immediately understood and began to activate his Originium skills. In such a snowy and icy environment, the speed at which Frost Star activated his Originium skills was unprecedented!

For a moment, the doctor and his companions felt that the snow beneath them suddenly became slippery. All of a sudden, everyone's bodies seemed to be sliding down from a great height!

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!"

"Chen Qi! You bastard!"

Screams suddenly rang out one after another. However, no matter what kind of sound it was, it could not change the fact that their bodies were sliding down the mountainside with the help of the smooth ice surface.

The ice slide solidified into shape. Frost Star had been watching Ifrit and the others sliding down with his naked eyes, constantly practicing his Originium Skill until the Originium Skill was completely out of his control, and then he slowly gave up.

Not far away, Chen Qi and Shuang Xing both saw a ball of fire erupting on the mountainside. The two breathed a sigh of relief only after the fire fell into the white snow and disappeared completely.

Such a long distance... should be enough.

"over there!"

However, before the two could breathe a sigh of relief, a sound brought them back to their senses.

All they saw were Kjerag people in white clothes that looked very similar to the color of snow, running towards them not far away.

"--icicle!"

Frost Star shouted coldly, and suddenly, huge icicles rose from the ground, blocking the people's progress.

It was only for a moment, but it was enough.

"Let's go quickly."

Without saying a word, he grabbed Frost Star's hand with his mechanical arm. Chen Qi pulled Frost Star and slid down the ice slide condensed by Frost Star together.

At the moment the two slid down, Froststar did not forget to activate his Originium skills and cut off the top connection of the ice slide, fearing that the Kjerag people would come to their senses and use the ice slide to catch up with them.

Chen Qi and Shuang Xing slid down the ice slide. The cold wind was as cold as a knife, and it hurt when it hit their faces.

Everything in front of everyone's eyes was blurry, as if they were riding a very fast roller coaster. However, no one felt it was exciting at this moment. On the contrary, it was very dangerous!

However, just when the two of them slid down to near the mountainside!

"Chi-!"

Suddenly, an animal cry was heard, and Frost Star, who was on the other side, suddenly felt that she was stabbed by something. Almost subconsciously, she covered her abdomen that had just been stabbed and released her palm.

Everything in front of my eyes was blurry, and I could only see a snow-white bird-like animal flash past my eyes.

The next moment, his body was completely unbalanced, and Frost Star's body fell to the other side uncontrollably!

"Frost Star!"

Suddenly, Frost Star felt something grabbing her palm again, but it failed to stop her body from falling.

"boom!"

With a violent collision, the brain felt a shock and the vision turned dark in an instant.

……

It was unknown how long it had been before Chen Qi, who had fallen down, slowly came to his senses.

However, the moment he opened his eyes, he saw countless weapons pointed directly at his face.

"……I surrender."

At this moment, Chen Qi, who already understood the situation he was in, decisively gave up resistance after taking a look at Frost Star who had not yet woken up.

"Woo..."

I don’t know how long it had been. Because I couldn’t sense the temperature, I wasn’t awakened by the biting cold wind. Frost Star slowly woke up from his coma, almost like he had just woken up from sleep.

However, when the blurry scene in front of her eyes gradually returned to clarity, what came into view was a scene beyond her expectations.

"...Froststar? Are you awake?"

"--Um."

Suddenly realizing that their posture was a bit ambiguous, Frost Star, who had recovered, had not yet fully recovered her body functions and did not want to appear too embarrassed, so she controlled her expression and concealed her embarrassment at the moment.

Fortunately, Frost Star's expression was originally rather calm, and her reaction wasn't particularly dramatic.

Gradually, she felt that her body began to obey her commands, and Shuangxing also broke free from the state of resting her head on Chen Qi's lap. The moment she stood up, she noticed the surrounding environment.

At this moment, they were inside a house made of ice. The roof was oval in shape and not very high, just enough for a person to stand up. Even Frost Star felt a little depressed, not to mention a boy like Chen Qi who was 183 cm tall.

No wonder he had been sitting on the ground like this all the time. It was really tiring for Chen Qi to stand like this for a long time.

The interior decoration is also very simple, with only a very simple bed covered with a thin sheet, and a wooden barrel on the other side... probably for excrement.

"—This is Kjerag's ice prison, a local specialty."

Chen Qi said lightly at the side. His face looked a little bad at the moment. Obviously, such extremely cold weather still had an impact on him. This ice house was still very cold for Chen Qi.

"I did try to lie on that bed, but it was still cold underneath. It was a real ice bed."

"I originally planned to let you sleep on the bed, but I don't know whether your body is cold and your spirit is deficient, or if you are really not afraid of the cold, so I dare not act rashly."

"... Actually, that's not necessary. My body is very resistant to cold. The cold is not a big deal to me."

Frost Star didn't know what to say after hearing that. She shook her head lightly and looked at Chen Qi's pale face. Suddenly she thought of something and reached into her pocket.

"Here you go."

"……sugar?"

Looking at the red candies in Frost Star's palm, Chen Qi seemed to remember something and smiled.

"I forgot you liked this kind of candy."

"Take one, but it's too spicy for you."

"——As long as I can survive."

At this critical moment, Chen Qi doesn't care about anything. As long as it can provide energy and calories to his body, he can eat anything.

He grabbed a piece of brown sugar and put it into his mouth. However, just a moment later, Chen Qi was shocked by the strong stimulation emitted by the sugar.

“——cough cough cough cough cough!!!”
