[Devil's Law] When the Tulips Bloom

In the north, the frozen forest.

The sky is full of ice and snow, and it is winter again. This year's snowstorm in the frozen forest is particularly bitter.On the south bank of Dayuan Lake in the frozen forest, a group of mercenaries camped here, and the leader of them, Beinrich, sat alone on an ice rock by the lake, quietly looking at the north of Dayuan Lake... the back bank On the edge of the open space, the boys had already swept away the snow and set up a fire... It was a scene full of excitement, but at this moment... Suddenly, Beinrich felt something in his mind. Suddenly it was dizzy.

Immediately before he could react, he heard buzzing and roaring sounds from all directions at the same time.The sound was like thunder, but the thunder did not come from the sky. The next moment, the ground trembled violently, and Beinrich staggered and fell from the ice rock and landed in the snow. , I felt under my body, the whole earth was roaring continuously, everyone couldn't stand stably, stumbling around, and then heard the sound of creaking, and some of the trees around the lake were also under the earthquake It broke suddenly, and the whole root collapsed, and even more trembling, it was uprooted.The ice layer above the lake also made a cracking sound, the ice chips flew, and the thick ice layer also collapsed.During this violent shaking, Beinrich only felt his heart beating wildly, and he wanted to shout out loudly, but it seemed as if his throat was strangled, and he couldn't make any sound.

After a long time, as if after a time like the destruction of a world, the violent vibration finally subsided.However, it didn't last long before I heard how many monsters howling and roaring in the distance, sharp and rippling, mixed with the roar of the earth, and I don't know how many things are rushing towards...

In the north, along the snowy field by the lakeside of Dayuan Lake, billowing snow and dust billowed above the horizon in the distance, behind which were densely packed, with hundreds of monsters roaring and rushing forward!

What ice and snow bears, earth bears, ice and snow demon wolves, snow rock poisonous rats, evil face spiders, ice earth dragons... etc., the big ones are big, the small ones are small, but they rushed over all at once, running Among them, a torrent was formed, galloping towards here quickly!During the gallop, many monsters trampled and collided with each other, but their speed was not slow at all...

These monsters are not ordinary beasts, and their running momentum is even more astonishing, especially there are some rare large monsters, such as the evil-faced spider, which usually lives underground, but they also run on the ground.Seeing this torrent approaching, the faces of many mercenaries were all pale, and some of them were already dazed and stayed there.

Captain Beinrich saw it, and his heart went blank...

There are so many monsters rushing towards dozens of people in my area... With the ability of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group, facing one or two mid-level monsters, there may be a chance to win.But... but facing such a torrent of hundreds of thousands of monsters rushing, let alone fighting, one face to face will be swallowed by the torrent!At this moment, he suddenly lost all hope in his heart. Originally, he wanted to shout loudly to his subordinates to take up weapons to defend, but now it seems that even this call was omitted.

"Everyone...everyone..." Beinrich yelled loudly through gritted teeth, "Hurry up and gather together, find a high place to hide... hurry up the tree!"

The torrent of monsters arrived in front of them in no time. Although many mercenaries were terrified and desperate in this torrent, the experienced Beinrich suddenly found a subtlety in his heart.

People like myself are afraid, but these monsters seem to be even more frightened and panicked.There are so many different kinds of monsters running together, and even many of them are natural enemies. At this moment, they seem to ignore it. Even if they occasionally collide during the running, there is no conflict. It seems that they are more powerful than themselves. Humans panicked ten times.

Like a torrent passing in front of him, when the torrent of monsters reached his eyes, Beinrich couldn't help closing his eyes, knowing that he was irresistible, and he lost his last hope.

I could hear the roaring incessantly in my ears, those monsters were flying, running, crawling, jumping, crowding and colliding, like a frightened flock of sheep, flying towards the forest They ran all the way to the south, they fled in a hurry, but they seemed to have no interest in these dozens of mercenaries, and they ran towards the south without even looking at these frightened humans...

When Captain Beinrich opened his eyes, the torrent of monsters had already gone south. He was sweating all over his body at the moment, and his body couldn't help shaking when he was blown by the cold wind. Survival after the catastrophe.

This weird scene left an unforgettable mark in every mercenary's heart.Faced with such a torrent of thousands of monsters, dozens of snow wolf mercenaries did not die, but a few unlucky guys jumped on the tree to avoid, but were knocked down by the running monsters, and people fell on the ground. Just fell to the ground with a slight injury.In addition, those monsters have no interest in these humans.

Beinrich looked at the north and took a deep breath... the north... something big must have happened in the north!

Just when rumors about the regent and the Duke of Tulip were spreading in the imperial capital, Hussein, who was ordered by Du Wei to go to the frozen forest early, with a pale face that was rare at this moment, actually risked the temple's pursuit and killed him, non-stop all the way After returning to the northwest, an urgent document was quickly sent to the imperial capital Tulip Duke's Mansion.

At the same time, the temple, which caused a lot of internal power disputes due to the sudden death of the pope, suddenly fell silent. They didn't even choose a new pope immediately, but instead got an elder of the Montenegrin sect with a bad name. Be acting pope.And the first thing the newly appointed Acting Pope did was not to deal with the death of the previous Pope. Instead, he chose to enter the palace immediately and asked to meet the Regent of the Empire.

While Prince Chen and Du Wei were still circling the rumors about the imperial capital, the acting pope had already arrived at the gate of the palace. When Du Wei heard that it was someone from the temple, his expression remained calm, but he felt strange, acting pope?The dispute between the Yeni sect and the Mosas sect in the temple did not come to a conclusion, but an acting pope came out instead?

The person the acting pope wanted to meet was the regent, so Du Wei would not stay uninterested, and Du Wei basically guessed in his heart why the people from the temple came to find Chen in such a hurry, so he simply asked Chen After the prince left, he turned around and went to look for the little princess Karina—he was still the teacher of Charlie and Karina.

Karina has been a little unhappy recently. Although she is only six years old, she is already a sensible age, and she is in the royal family. Naturally, she is smarter and more sensitive than ordinary girls.There is a password ban in the palace, but the rumors will only spread faster, and Karina has naturally heard about it.Du Wei is Karina's favorite teacher. Prince Chen has always loved Karina, and Karina is of course very angry with those who slander them.

"Your Highness, the Duke of Tulip is here." Lan Lan said, a court lady.

"Let the teacher come in." Karina wore a pink skirt, and she looked very delicate and cute. When she saw Du Wei, she didn't frown and smiled, "Teacher!"

Du Wei picked Karina up and stroked her hair, "Your Highness, have you gained weight again?"

"Not really!" Facts have proved that no matter what age a girl is, it is absolutely taboo to say that she has gained weight. Karina pouted her lips and looked at Du Wei unhappily, "Teacher, I didn't gain weight!"

"Okay, Your Highness hasn't gained weight." Du Wei put Karina down, shaved her nose, ignored the slightly weird eyes of the attendants, and sat down together holding Karina's little hand, "Well, let's Let me think about it, what did I tell His Highness last time... Is your Highness still reading the first volume of "General History of the Mainland" I gave you?"

Speaking of this, Karina nodded seriously, "I've read a lot." Although for a six-year-old girl, books like "General History of the Mainland" are a bit too boring and profound, Karina didn't read them very well. It went well, but she persisted in watching it.In the process of reading, Du Wei's comments on the book, which are too arrogant for people in this world, are unconsciously affecting Karina's future.

"Very well, Your Highness, after you finish reading that book, I will give you the second volume." Du Wei said with a smile, "I will not stay in the imperial capital for a long time, and I have no way to teach you, Your Highness. More things, these books should be regarded as my homework for His Highness."

Although Karina was reluctant, she was still very sensible. After nodding her head, she suddenly hesitated. The little girl blinked her eyes and said, "Teacher, do you...don't like brother?"

If there were other reasons for Du Wei to enter the palace apart from the real business, then one was to meet Prince Chen, and the other was to tell stories with Karina.And the eldest son of His Royal Highness the Regent, Prince Charlie, belonged to the one who was forgotten by Du Wei.When Du Wei told Karina the story, he never mentioned that he wanted to call Charlie. Even if he met Charlie at Karina's place on weekdays, he was more than polite and not close enough. , Karina also found out.

Du Wei smiled when he heard the words, "How could it be? Your Highness the little prince is a smart person." However, he just likes to pretend to be smart.Du Wei looked down on this little prince, but he didn't like it?Du Wei didn't bother to use such redundant emotions on Charlie, it was enough to just ignore them.

After all, Karina was still a child, and Du Wei said so, so she didn't continue to ask, but sat on the chair obediently, and continued to listen to Du Wei's storytelling.When Du Wei had finished telling today's story, and the afternoon had passed, and was about to return to the mansion, the court envoy came, and the regent summoned him.
