After lunch, the simple watchman arranged a separate room for Helot. There was only a stone bed with a layer of hay on it. There were no windows and the door was a bit drafty, but it was much better than sleeping in the wild.

The nights in the northern border come early and are very cold. After nightfall, most of the watchmen return to their rooms to rest, with only a few patrolling.

The slave sat outside the door, curled up in a ball, resisting the cold wind and snow with only thin clothes.

Suddenly a velvet blanket was placed over his head and some bacon was thrown in front of him.

A voice sounded above his head: "I'm going out. Don't tell anyone, and don't let anyone in."

The slave looked up, only to see his master disappear into the snowy night.

During the conversation with the watchman, Helot already knew the approximate area where Melissa lived, which was on the tower on the northwest side of the main castle of the Snow Castle.

Activating the "invisibility" skill of the equipment, Helot gradually disappeared, and only the footprints that appeared out of thin air on the snow exposed his whereabouts. Fortunately, Helot always had a true stealth master by his side, and the snow petals that turned into black shadows swept over the footprints, and the snow returned to its original state.

Xueban can also identify the detection traps encountered along the way early and remind Helot to avoid them.

In this way, Helot avoided the patrols of the watchmen and came close to the main castle.

This is an almost closed square fortress, with sparse windows only at a height of more than ten meters. There is a tower at each of the four corners of the fortress, and the top of the tower has an open magic eye scanning. As long as the "invisible" like Helot is illuminated, he will be exposed.

Helotka stuck in the blind spot of the magic eye and walked slowly along the wall of the fortress, finally arriving under the northwest tower.

There is a door under the tower. I pushed it gently and it was locked from the inside. After listening, I could also hear the voice of a guard behind the door.

Looking up, the windows of the tower are even higher, thirty meters from the ground.

If I just climb up like this, I will definitely be illuminated by the magic eyes in other directions, and I won’t be sure what is behind the window.

When Helot was trying to find a way to enter the tower, a group of people came in the snow. They didn't look like watchmen.

Helot immediately stood in the shadows to enhance his stealth effect, ready to wait for them to pass before thinking of a way to enter the tower.

But this group of people walked directly to the door of the tower.

Someone came forward and knocked on the door: "The Sander priest is here, open the door quickly!"

In the northern border, the priests are the shamans, and they maintain their outstanding status through the shamanic skills passed down from generation to generation.

I heard from the watchman that Princess Emma Rubelle was seriously injured, and this priest named Sander should be here to treat the princess.

A bold idea emerged in Helot's mind.

The iron gate opened, and there were indeed watchmen guarding inside. Moreover, they were all equipped with sophisticated armor and weapons, and their status was not comparable to those watchmen who had to eat in the snow.

The guard recognized Priest Sander and immediately bowed his head and invited the priest and his followers into the tower.

Helot seized the opportunity to lift his "invisibility" and followed the last follower into the tower.

The guard who was looking down did not notice that there was one more person in the sacrificial team. After everyone came in, he closed the door and bolted it.

Helot, who had successfully sneaked in, followed the priest's entourage and walked up the spiral staircase.

At this time, at Helot's residence.

A group of people stood in front of the slave.

A warrior in full armor stepped forward and said, "Please ask your master to come out. A distinguished guest has come to visit."

The slave stood up in a hurry, and seeing the gorgeous clothes of the people in front of him, he was immediately frightened and bowed: "My lords, my master has gone to bed."

"If he is asleep, go in and wake him up. It is a great honor for your master to be able to come and visit in person!"

The slave stood in front of the door without moving, and said in a humble but firm tone: "My dear sirs, my master said before he went to bed that he would not see any visitors. Could you please tell me... the names of the sirs? When the master wakes up tomorrow, I will tell him to visit you in return."

"Slave!" the warrior shouted, "If your master knew what you were doing, he would chop off your feet and throw you into an ice cave."

The slave was so scared that he knelt on the ground, still blocking the door.

The warrior looked at the door, believing that his voice was loud enough to wake up the person sleeping inside.

Sure enough, there was a sound coming from inside the door.

"My slave has made it clear! I don't want to be disturbed when I'm resting."

Along with the sound, there was also a tremendous surge of magical pressure. The overbearing pressure made the air sticky, and the snowflakes that entered the field fell as if in slow motion.

This pressure made the group of people outside the door feel like they were facing a formidable enemy, and they held their weapons tightly, ready to fight at any time.

"Master Bonebreaker, I apologize for my servant's offense." A young man in a black fur coat walked out of the crowd. He saluted to the door and introduced himself: "My name is Paniel Skovo, the eldest son of Marquis Skovo, the owner of the Snow Castle. I heard that a powerful wizard had come to the Snow Castle, so I couldn't wait to visit him, so I ignored that now was not the right time.

Please understand! "

The voice from inside the door replied: "Since you know that now is not the time to visit, please go back with your entourage."

The mage knew that the person who came was Master Panier, but he still acted so arrogantly, which immediately aroused the anger of his followers.

However, Panier stopped his followers from taking any radical actions and said to the people in the room, "Master Bonebreaker, I admire the strength you have shown. It is a disrespect to the Skovo family to let you live in this simple barracks.

I invite you to the main castle, where you will be provided with a room suitable for your status, a soft bed, and free hot water. "

The mage inside the door was not grateful: "If I was greedy for pleasure, I would not come to the Northern Frontier. Only the most difficult life can temper my will and achieve self-breakthrough. Thank you for your kindness, Master Panier!

But please don't disturb my rest any longer, I need to be in the best condition for entering the polar regions."

Despite being rejected repeatedly, Panier did not show any dissatisfaction, and his handsome face always had a friendly smile.

"You are an admirable mage. We will not disturb your rest and look forward to a formal meeting with you tomorrow. Good night, Bonebreaker."

"Thank you for your understanding, Master Panil."

"See you tomorrow!" Panier saluted, bent down and stepped back, then turned around and left with his entourage, showing full courtesy.

After walking a distance, an attendant said dissatisfiedly: "Master, he is just a wild mage with some strength. You are so noble and came to see him in person, but he didn't even open the door. It's really arrogant."

Panier stopped and looked up at the sky. The ridges of the snow-capped peaks of the icebergs looked like giant beasts hiding in the night.

"What do you think the strength of this wild mage is?"

The follower just now answered: "The highest level of transcendence."

Panier chuckled: "But I think he is at least level 2 of the Extraordinary."

"Master, do you think so highly of him?"

"Whether you are right or I am right, his purpose of going to the polar plateau is to serve Rogrid. The Skov family lives under the shadow of the Erwin family after all. They are solid ice, and we are drifting snow."

"Master, please don't say such offensive words to the Ice and Snow Family."

"I'm just telling you guys this, you won't tell anyone." Panier smiled generously, and then said, "This time I want to compete with Rogrid to see if I can bring this powerful wild mage under my command."

"Master, you can do it!"
