Kan Zhuen rode his horse to his hometown.

For him, there is no longer anything to miss in Eagle Head City.The king is dead, and that which held him back is gone, and now he can return to his land.

The king does not die, the extreme north is a part of the northern border, and the owner of Evernight City is only the duke conferred by the king.Once the king is gone, the Far North and Evernight City will be free.In this way, Camtrane could get his father's land back.

Who is the King of the Far North today?My father is gone, he thought, but the Far North will have a new king right away.

I want to meet him.

Eagle Head City can go north for a week to reach the extreme north.It is spring now, there is no snow on the road, and he walks very fast.On about the sixth day, he arrived at Bingwang Pass.

The spring in the extreme north is no better than that in the south. It is snowy in winter and barren in spring.But Camtram liked this feeling very much-only the strongest men can survive here, and it is this land that gave birth to the men of the Far North.

They shouldn't be able to beat Bowle Kahn, thought Kahn, the Baylanders are not as strong or as numerous as we are.My warriors did not deserve to fail.

What they lack is a good general.

From Eternal Night City to Eagle Head City, one must take the road that became the Avenue of the Sun.It was built in the period of the ancient kings. At that time, the extreme north and the northern border had their own kings. There was no war, and people lived in harmony.In order to connect the two places, the two kings worked together to build this road.This road is named the sun, which symbolizes the good hope of the northerners for warmth.

Kan Zhuien was suddenly tired after riding for a while. He hadn't ridden for a long time, and suddenly his crotch felt a little sore after riding for a long time.So he came down and led the horse, just as he wanted to feel the land of his hometown with his feet.

Sun Road is very spacious, most of the road is built with rammed earth, and a small part of the road is made of masonry.The extreme north is dry and rainless, so the road surface is very smooth.

Along the way, he saw many refugees.Men and women, the elderly and children, all in ragged clothes, skinny and skinny.Some refugees went north, some went south, and some sat on the side of the road with nowhere to go.There is often famine in the extreme north, and then there are people who go south to beg for food; but this year there is a war in the south, and the refugees from the war all flee to the north.After all, no one would go on an expedition to the city of Eternal Night in the far north, it was too poor and too cold, and no one would be willing to take the trouble to attack it.

All this is caused by the imbalance of human development, Kan Zhuen thought.

Campbell had some money and valuable jewellery.The money was taken by him in Tianhu Palace.At that time, he fulfilled his promise to save the little king's concubines, but when he went, these women had already taken poison.The last sober concubine is named Yafei.The woman was ugly, thin and dark like a peasant's daughter.She begged Kan Zhuen to avenge the little king.

Kan Zhuien didn't intend to let the little trident go, so he agreed to the woman's request.In order to thank him, the woman gave him all the valuable things in the bedroom.

The money has become the entanglement of Can Zhuen.But now he decided to give these to the poor.

The dragon that Kan Zhuen killed 20 years ago changed his life, and the power of dragon blood slowly fermented in his body.Now Cantrun is already a demigod, and he can survive for a long time without eating, drinking or sleeping, so he doesn't need money to buy food and water.And if he really needs food, he'll catch fish in the lake and hunt in the forest by himself.In his opinion, buying and selling commodities with gold and silver is an abnormal behavior, and people should rely on their own hands to obtain food from the land.

He took out these gold and silver jewelry, melted them with the power of dragon's blood, and squeezed them into irregular small metal pieces.He distributed these gold and silver nuggets to the poor, one or two yuan per person, which was enough for the refugees to go to the city to exchange some food.

There are three reasons for him to do this: firstly, there are too few jewelry to distribute to more poor people; secondly, the jewelry is too large, a necklace is enough to save dozens of people; thirdly, it is too dangerous for the poor to hold such expensive jewelry , it is better to break it up and reshape it.

Then he told everyone who passed by, don't go to Eagle Head City, go to Vulcan City, Northern Shuangwei or Sword and Shield Castle.The first two cities hadn't been destroyed by the war, and Castle Sword and Shield was the site of the Sand Scorpion. There must be order in the site of the Sand Scorpion. Where there is order, you can buy and sell items with money.

Later, he donated his own clothes, including armor, riding boots, and a hood with stigmata. These things can also be exchanged for money and save people's lives.He exchanged clothes with the last recipient.

At this moment he was wearing a shabby black monk's robe and a dirty dress, with bare feet and leading a horse.

He gave all his property to the poor, and then the penniless grand knight walked on this ancient road.The spring breeze is old, and summer is coming, but the ancient road in the extreme north is still so bleak and desolate.

Everyone who met him thanked him for his charity and asked him who he was. He didn't answer, but said to these people: "You will return to your land one day."

The next afternoon, he met a gang of robbers.There were about thirty people.

When disaster strikes, vegetarians become migratory birds, and meat eaters become wolves.This is the instinct of creatures, just like wild animals will hunt wild animals, human beings will also hunt.

But beasts don't hunt their own kind, humans do.

He said to the robbers: "Forests, lakes, mountains, swamps, plateaus... You should find land suitable for your survival, not burn, kill and loot here."

The leader of the robbers was an old man with a ferocious face. He said to Candine: "There is nothing left on the land. This barren land cannot support people."

He said: "Then you should go to the land that can support people."

The old man replied: "There is no more land that can support people." After saying this, the robbers attacked Kanzhuien.

Kan Zhuien gave away all his property, except for a sword.

When he came out of Tianhu Tongtian Pagoda, he went to the palace.At that time, although the little trident had already occupied the castle, with his skill, he was still able to move freely in the castle.He sneaked in at night, and found the underground vault of the palace with his memory, where there were weapons belonging to him.

It was a sword with the same name as the Sighing Sword, and it was called Nilin.

Ni Linjian was not called this name before, it has a more beautiful name called: Midsummer Light.

But since Can Zhuen killed the dragon with it, it has become a "reverse scale".The soul of the dragon resides in this sword, and once the scale-reversing sword is unsheathed, the dragon's wrath will burst forth.The dragon's wrath will erode the spirit of Can Zhuen, making him also become violent.So he doesn't use this weapon easily.

Long Wei is not needed to deal with robbers.

He didn't draw his sword, so he used the scabbard as a weapon. He shuttled through the crowd a few times and knocked down all thirty people.He didn't kill anyone, he just beat them so hard that they couldn't get up.

"Go back to your land," Camtrane said to them. "If the land can't support you, then you should find the land that can support you."

The robber said to him: "The fertile land belongs to the nobles."

"Then you should fight the nobles and get back what you deserve." After saying this, he left.

For the next few days he lived and slept in the open, drank the stream formed by the snowmelt when he was thirsty, and went hunting in the nearest forest when he was hungry.Camtram can find rabbits, mice, beetles and worms from the poorest soils.

He put his ears on the ground, listening for tiny movements within a few hundred meters; he looked over the hills, looking for animals that moved within five miles; he hunted with his bare hands, chasing hounds and stags, and twisting the throats of bears.

He has better hearing than a cat, better smell than a dog, better eyesight than a hawk, and a stronger appetite than a scavenging lizard.There is dragon blood in his body, his stomach can digest all food, even if he eats rotting corpses raw, he will not get sick.

Survival is the best practice. Kan Zhuien has been in the Tongtian Tower for too long, and he needs to move his body.

Traveling all the way, practicing all the way, he finally arrived at Eternal Night City after ten days.

Evernight City is even more dilapidated than it was 20 years ago.In the past, his father said that this ancient feeling is the foundation of a castle, which represents a rich history.But after looking at Eagle Head City, which is also a century-old city, Kan Zhuien realized that those words were just his father putting money on his face.

Eternal Night City stands above the wasteland, it is the heart of the extreme north.The four city gates connect four main roads, and the four main roads branch off into countless small roads, just like the blood vessels of a giant.

The most famous thing in Eternal Night City is the Tongtian Tower - this is not the fake Tongtian Tower in Tianhu, the real Tongtian Tower is a miracle built by the believers of the Great Light God.The tower is eleven stories high, and on top of the tower stands a mirror left over from the Second Era.This mirror is an artifact. When the sun is there, it can absorb sunlight and release a golden beam of light that soars into the sky; when the moon is there, it can absorb moonlight and create a beautiful blue light circle.

Believers believe that through the Tongtian Tower, they can communicate with the heavens, so countless prophets in history have enlightened in this tower.Kan Zhuen also practiced in this tower, and he really felt some kind of magical power.He saw the ancient gods in his dream and felt wisdom.

"We're almost home, Olivia." He said to the dragon soul possessed by the sword.

The sword trembled slightly, as if it had something to say to him.Kan Zhuien pulled her out, and the dragon soul condensed into a young girl in the air.

It was a dragon girl with dragon horns, a dragon tail, and a few dragon scales on her cheeks—she was at least a hundred years old, and a hundred years old is an old man to a human, but a young girl to a dragon.

"I thought you would never come back here, Master." Olivia looked at Eternal Night City calmly.

Cantrane asked her: "This is the land where I was born, why didn't I come back?"

The girl’s face was always full of arrogance, she looked down at Candine, and said, “You don’t love this place, you love the richer land, you love midsummer and the south, just like you love those dark-skinned southern girls Same."

"I never said that."

"Your wife is a black girl." Olivia always spoke mercilessly.

Campbell said, "Well, I admit that I like Southern girls. Especially my late lover, she...she was healthy, beautiful, and understanding..."

Olivia shook her head and interrupted: "No, no, no, no, it's not for this reason. You like those black girls simply because they are wet, slippery, flirtatious and tender."

"Shut up," said Cantrane, "if you say another word, I'll put you in the cow dung."

"Yes, master." Olivia saluted and returned to the scabbard.

Can Zhuien shook his head and thought to himself: After more than 20 years, this guy is still the same.

Olivia was originally an evil dragon. She had done evil in the extreme north for many years, and every ten years she would ask humans to offer sacrifices for her.Later, Kan Zhuen killed her and sealed her soul in the sword.Afterwards, Kan Zhuien trained her well for three years and turned her into a familiar in the sword.

However, Olivia is always unconvinced, and she always wants to find her way back.

However, she is already Can Zhuen's familiar, and she can't disobey Can Zhuen's order, let alone hurt him, so Olivia can only show her power with her mouth—she can only use the dragon wisdom accumulated over the past 100 years, Using the brain of her ancient life, she tried every means to argue with her master.

For the past 20 years, Can Zhuen was imprisoned in the Tongtian Tower, and Olivia came out to argue with him every day, including history, civilization, life, and philosophical thinking; as small as tonight's dinner, the color of the window, and the pattern of the bed cover ... As long as she can annoy Kan Zhuien for being teased, she will be happy.

But thanks to her, Kan Zhuen has not been too boring these years.And Olivia can fly out of the seal of Tongtian Tower and bypass the guards, so she can do some things for Kan Zhuen.Kan Zhuien couldn't leave the cage of Tianhu by himself. First, if he escaped, there would be chaos in the extreme north and the northern border. Second, the little king sent many royal warriors to guard him, and the mage arranged in advance. A trap, he wasn't sure he would be able to escape.

Time to go home, he thought.

He walked into Eternal Night City, and the streets of Eternal Night City, which were already deserted, were now even more desolate, and there were not even a few beggars.

The castle is at the end of the road, and the statues of the ancestors stand on the walls.He raised his head and looked at the statue.The statues of the ancestors of the North have decayed, as has this land.

Gracaron's face was black; Sharin's ears had fallen off; a third hero was ready to be made, but there was only one base.

He was walking alone in the street.As Olivia said, he actually prefers the rich, warm and welcoming south.

The tavern was still open, and there was a bartender dozing off in a chair at the door. There were warm lights and laughter in the tavern.Campbell wanted to buy a glass of wine a little bit. He had an antler on his body. This thing could be exchanged for some money, so it would be no problem to buy wine.

He goes to the tavern.The bartender at the entrance of the tavern dozed off on his seat, and when he heard footsteps, he got up and said:

"Go away, beggar!"

distant homeland, three

distant homeland, three

Can Zhuien was stunned for a moment, and he thought to himself: I really look like a beggar.My clothes are dirty and torn, I have a long beard, and I don't even have shoes on my feet.

"I'm not a beggar," he said to the man, "I'm here to buy wine."

The bartender was a bald man with a bulbous nose, and he reeked of alcohol.This is normal, people in the extreme north love to drink - if they don't drink, how can they survive the days and nights of heavy snowfall?

The bartender looked at Campbell and said, "Are you rich?"

"I want to exchange this for wine." He handed the antlers to the bartender.At this time, he heard Olivia whisper: "You might as well trade me for wine, then I will be free."

"Shut up, if you talk nonsense, I'll put you in the slop bucket."

Olivia made a "cut" and stopped talking.

At this time, the bartender smiled and said, "This is really worth a glass of bad wine."

The antlers can be exchanged for at least ten glasses of beer, and Candine knew that the bartender was trying to take advantage of him.Businessmen are like this, they don't think about the other party's labor, they just think about their own wallets selfishly.

"A glass is fine," said Cantrane.He doesn't want to bargain with others. In his opinion, all money transactions are full of sin and filth.

The bartender threw the antlers to the boss inside. The boss looked at it, nodded, and then put it away.He beckoned Camtrane to sit down, and served him a glass of pale green, very cloudy wine.Campbell sat at the bar, and he drank the wine in one gulp.The boss looked at him with a contemptuous sneer, but Candine didn't care.He didn't want to fight over this shit.

Kan Zhuien stayed in Tongtian Pagoda for 20 years. During these 20 years, besides soaking in dragon's blood, he also did two other things: reading and meditating.

This lifted his spirits.His heart is calmer than an iceberg in the far north, and nothing can touch his emotions—but the reason why he exercises his mentality is not to cultivate his body, but to deal with Olivia, a fine dragon.if he is a

A person with a violent temper, he has been driven crazy by Olivia in the past 20 years.

He asked the boss, "Who is the owner of the castle in Evernight City?"

The boss glared at him and said, "Whichever owner is changed, they will not take in a beggar like you."

Campbell said to him, "Well, I just want to know who the owner is, so I can call him by his name when I see him."

The boss squinted at him and said, "You are a strange beggar. Let me tell you, the current Lord of Evernight is named Anduin Lastor."

Anduin?That was my brother, the boy with the big smile came to mind.

Anduin is highly skilled in martial arts and has some wisdom. It is indeed possible to be a Duke.But now the Far North does not need a duke, what is needed here is a king.

"Are all the nobles loyal to him?" asked Cantrun.

The boss said, "Not all are loyal. Half are loyal to him, and the other half are waiting for the true king of the North."

Kan Zhuen asked, "Who is it?"

"Of course it's Candine Lastol." When the name was said, the boss's expression became serious, "He is the real king of the North, our hero, he can lead us out of this Bitter and cold winter, give us freedom and glory. Even a beggar like you can benefit from his light."

"Indeed." Kan Zhuen echoed.

At this time, Olivia poked her head through the gap of the scabbard and said, "Aren't you ashamed to brag about yourself?"

"Shut up." Kan Zhuien pushed her back.

The boss shook his head and said, "It's a pity that Cantrun was imprisoned in the Tongtian Tower. After that, Anduin became the legal heir—a beggar, why are you asking about this?" the boss asked suddenly.

"Well, I'm just curious." Can Zhuien stood up, turned and walked out.

The boss stopped him and said, "Wait! You haven't paid yet!"

Can Zhuien turned back and said, "I gave you an antler, and the money has been paid."

The boss said: "That's the wine money, but you haven't paid the money for the news!"

Kan Zhuien asked back: "I still have to pay for talking?" Isn't it always buying wine and giving away news?
