Encyclopedia of Feanor Continent

The overall terrain of the Fei Nuo Continent is high in the northwest and low in the southeast. The large snowfield with the highest terrain is called the Parsons Plateau. The climate on the Parsons Plateau is extremely harsh. In the frozen state, the most common trees are only hardy conifers and frost-resistant mosses, but this barren coniferous forest raises a huge herd of moose, as well as hares, bobcats, squirrels, wolves, snow leopards and bears. The savages survived by hunting these animals. -- "Feno Continental Encyclopedia·Geography"

After that, Avondel took his companions to temporarily live in the palace.

Avondel and Leicester have nothing to say about their relationship, but they still have a lot to discuss about cooperation. After all, they are planning a large-scale war.Of course, Avondel couldn't let Leicester come to the hotel to look for him every day. Even if His Majesty the King, who was busy with everything, didn't think it was troublesome, the hotel owner would faint from crying.

Leicester prepared a luxurious large room for Avondel in the palace, and it was not until Avondell called Palos to live together with him that he knew the relationship between the two of them.

The next time he met, he looked the young lad up and down with scrutiny. Palos looked back without fear, and then the king of Artasia frowned and walked past him sullenly.

Palos is still a little wary of the king, although he also knows that Avandell is unlikely to renew his relationship with him, but Leicester obviously still has some old feelings for Avondell, and he has no doubts about it. gloss over this.

This made Palos feel a sense of crisis. After all, the king is an old and attractive man. Although he is in his 40s, he does not look old at all, and his figure does not show the puffiness and obesity that are common to middle-aged nobles. Potbellied, it seems that he has been diligent in exercising on weekdays, and after all, he is the king of the kingdom of Artasia with the strongest military force on the mainland. There are many places that can help Avandel, unlike Palos who is alone one person.

No matter what Palos is worried about, Avondel has no other thoughts anyway. After discussing the preparations with Leicester, he plans to leave: "Tomorrow I will set off for the Parsons Plateau. .”

Reichester said: "Winter started earlier this year, and you are always afraid of the cold. I'm afraid it will be very hard to go to the Parsons Plateau this season."

"But it's obviously not a good idea to stay in Gracie City for the winter. I just want to finish my work early and go south before the road is blocked by heavy snow."

Leicester is also aware of the severe winter cold in Gracie City. The locals are used to it and don’t think it’s a problem, but Avondel was born in the south and grew up in the south. Leicester still remembers that the mage used to not even have a door for the whole winter. Ken Chu, it takes a lot of effort to wake up every morning, and when I get out of bed, I can't wait to grow roots next to the stove.

Those past memories made the king feel a little sad again: "...well, I will send guards to escort you north."

Evandel shook his head: "No need, if the barbarian scouts see me acting with Artasia's army, they will be more hostile to me."

"Then I'll ask the clerk to prepare some travel supplies for you, and I won't come to see you off tomorrow."

"You don't have to see me off, goodbye." Evandel turned to leave, but before he went out, Reicester called him: "Wait a while."

"Is there anything else?" Evandel looked back at him, and Reicester paused before saying: "...Although it is too late to tell you these things, I still want to tell you something, It’s not about blaming anyone or saving something, but simply wanting you to know—I chose power and gave up on you. I don’t deny that it was my own ambition, but a large part of the reason is because being with you doesn’t even look good. Not to the future. You are a long-lived Sharku who likes to wander all over the world, constantly pursuing new things and knowledge, but I am just a mortal. Even if I drop everything and follow you, I will soon start to age. The appearance will become ugly, the energy will decline, and in a few years, we may not even be able to walk. What will happen to us at that time, I can’t see the answer in you. If you had given me a little confidence in the future , maybe everything will be different.”

This time, Evandel did not refute or sarcasm, but was silent for a while: "Unfortunately, there is no if."

"Yes." Leicester sighed, "I still remember a passage you said at the time, to the effect that life is like a river that cannot go upstream. One road, after suffering all the hardships along the way and getting tired of seeing the scenery along the road, you may wonder if there would be better scenery if you chose another road at the beginning, but unfortunately, you will never have the opportunity to choose again. "

"If you had taken a different path, you would still regret it, and still feel like you missed out on something really important ... it's just human nature," Evandel said.

Reicester showed a helpless smile: "You're right... I hope that young man will be luckier than me."

Leicester gave them a carriage with a lot of heat preservation measures added inside. The pony with thick fur was pulling the carriage. Although it could not run fast, it had great endurance and was not afraid of the severe cold. When Palos came back, he saw The guards were loading some things into the carriage which was parked at the door.

He entered the room, and Evandel had already put away all the manuscripts of the encyclopedia that had been spread out on the table. Palos asked, "Are we leaving?"

"Well, let's go tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I'll go get ready now and let Phils and Alkai know." Palos turned to go out, but Evandel suddenly grabbed his hand: "Palos."

"Huh?" Palos turned to look at him.

"If I didn't end up dying suddenly, I would definitely transform myself into a lich in the future and gain eternal life." Evandel said, "If you are old and your life is about to end, I can turn you into my death Knight, stay with me forever from now on, are you willing?"

He wasn't sure how Palos would answer. After all, as a Templar, the education he received from childhood might make Palos very resistant to undead magic, but Palos answered without any hesitation, and even seemed a little happy: "I am willing."

Evandel looked at him with complicated eyes: "You have decades to repent, and when you really become my death knight, your soul will never have a chance to return to the gods, and you can only hold it forever In my hands."

"It's good, I won't regret it." Palos patted the mage's hand, and went out to inform his companions.

Probably because the joy on his face was too obvious, Phils muttered: "What's wrong with you? You are usually as dull as a log, but today you suddenly smile like a flower?"

"Is there?" Palos didn't have such self-consciousness at all, and rubbed his face in confusion.

Phils curled his lips: "I still said no, your whole body smells full of the sour smell of love now."

Palos sniffed his arm in confusion. Although it was cold now, he didn't miss the shower once, and he obviously didn't smell anything.

"I've given up on saving your sense of humor." Fiers rolled his eyes to the sky.

The weather is already very cold now, and they have to take advantage of the daytime to drive more to reach the planned village for accommodation, otherwise camping in the wild in this weather is not a comfortable thing.

So the next morning, Palos and the others got up early to get everything ready, but Avondel was still habitually staying up in bed.

"This arduous task can only be entrusted to you." Fiers said to Palos who was fixing the roof of the carriage with ropes, "You know how angry he is when he wakes up, especially now that it is so cold, if I call him Will be blasted out by a fireball."

Alkai, who was patting the horse's neck comfortingly, said in a tone as cold as the weather: "It's as if he won't be bombarded."

"At least in the friendship of sharing the same bed, he will save his life, right?"

Palos sighed resignedly, Evandel would indeed lose his temper when he was woken up, and he was bitten on the shoulder because of this, but in this situation, he could only bite the bullet and walk into the room.

Evandel buried himself under the quilt, only revealing a small half of his sleeping face, and he patted Evandel lightly: "Evandel, wake up."

The mage gave a vague "hmm" and shrank himself into the quilt again.

"We have to go, otherwise we won't be able to get to the accommodation before dark." Palos tried to reason, but Evandel still closed his eyes, wriggling lazily in the bed, but couldn't get up.

"If you're sleepy, go to sleep in the carriage, okay? There are blankets and a stove in the carriage." Palos gritted his teeth and grabbed Evandel's hand and pulled him to sit up. Evandel leaned softly against his On his shoulder, he muttered the language of an unknown race, showing no sign of waking up.

Palos took the fur cloak on one side, which was also given to Avondel by Leicester. His Majesty the King is really very generous to his old lover. The thick cloak is made of pure white fox fur. It was both warm and protective in the snow. Palos fastened the cloak and squatted down to put on the shoes for Evandel, but the mage lazily fell back.

In the end, Palos could only hang the mage's backpack on his shoulders, picked up Evandel, who was still sleeping, and went out. Phils sensibly lifted the curtain of the carriage for them, and made a "please" gesture.

Palos put Avender well on the fur mat laid in the carriage, covered him with a blanket, and stuffed the stove filled with charcoal into his arms, only then belatedly remembered that just now The guards along the road and the servants in the palace seemed to be looking at him with a condemning look, but why?
