three days ago.
After learning from Huang Yayin a "truth" that was enough to subvert common sense but whose authenticity could not be verified, Karin and Mo Qianyun parted ways with the legendary hunter.
"Whether what we said is true or not, you should find the answer yourself. If you are confused, it's okay to tell others."
Although they received such advice, Karin and Mo Qianyun did not intend to make Huang Yayin's words public, nor did they plan to tell Aarons first.
Because the "truth" is so absurd that even if you tell others, it will only cause them more trouble.
"Let's go. The young master said before that he would go to the Duke of Oufei's territory... let's go there too."
After deciding on their next target, Karin and Mo Qianyun set off without hesitation.
Of course they wanted to verify what Huang Yayin said, but what was more important now was to meet up with Aarons as soon as possible.
"If I understand correctly, the Duke of Scott's family should have been sidelined by the eldest prince... This information is very important and must be passed on to the young master as soon as possible."
"I have heard that the armies of the two princes are now attacking the Frost Fortress in the Dukedom of Ophir. If we go there, there should be a high probability that we can meet up with the Lord and his men."
"Then let's go that way. I'll use my avatar to help me get going, Qianyun, you just ride on it."
Karin couldn't conjure up a vehicle as easily as Huang Yayin, so she could only rely on transforming into a giant wolf to speed up her movement - although this was quite energy-consuming, Karin didn't want to waste time on the road.
Under the joint attack of the two princes, Duke Ofei's fortress may not be able to hold out for long.
……
However, when the two arrived at Frostland Fortress, they found that the situation there was worse than they had imagined.
Under the continuous bombardment of magic, more than half of the fortress walls have collapsed - if the magic barrier near the ground was not still in effect, the two legions of nearly 10,000 ground troops might have already broken down the fortress.
But even if it is still holding on, this fortress is already in a state where it can be breached at any time.
"So many people... Is there some secret treasure hidden here?"
"We have to go in first. Senior Karin, I found that the barrier above the city wall is damaged! Go in from there!"
But when the two of them quietly climbed over the barrier under the cover of night and entered the interior of the fortress, the overly nervous soldiers immediately discovered them.
Fortunately, the person in charge of the outer defense at that time was Kulan, who was sent by the third prince to investigate the situation.
"Ms. Karin?! Why are you here all of a sudden?"
"We were planning to wait here for the young master to come over... but you were beaten like this, how long can you hold on?"
"We still have enough food, but we are running out of magic stones. Once the barrier fails, this fortress will be doomed!"
Although this is indeed an extremely urgent issue, for Karin and Mo Qianyun now, it is actually an opportunity for them to exert their strength.
After successfully meeting the fortress commander with the help of Kuran, Karin and Mo Qianyun immediately took on the task of maintaining the barrier - Mo Qianyun's body possesses a high concentration of magic power far beyond the human level, which is just right to power the barrier generator.
It was thanks to this barrier that the fortress was able to barely withstand the fierce attacks of the two legions and wait for the somewhat belated reinforcements.
……
"Oh... that lady has gone to do her own thing. I wanted to have a sparring match with her."
"Yes, but she said that she would probably meet us again in the future, so your highness, don't worry about it."
"Then we'll talk about it then."
Keliya had already expected Huang Yayin's departure, so she didn't feel much regret.
And the more important task now is that they need to contact Duke Oufei through the fortress commander as soon as possible.
"Mr. Commander, I need to speak directly to Duke Oufei. Do you have any way to contact him?"
The commander of the fortress was a thin middle-aged man who did not look like a soldier - but he had held out for so long under the enemy's fierce attack and did not flee, which showed that he was brave and wise.
"I'm sorry, Princess... Although I do have a dedicated spiritual line, I haven't been able to contact the Duke since three days ago."
"Oh? Did he say he was going to do something when he last contacted you?"
"His Excellency the Duke said that he was going to push forward a plan that could completely overturn the situation, but he didn't tell me the details."
Claire had some conflicts with Duke Oufei in the past, so she didn't believe that the other party could come up with any "subversion plan".
But she didn't care about this matter. After all, the final decision would still be left to Aarons, and she only needed to collect enough information.
"Forget it then. I'll just go to his castle and look for him. Sister Karin and Senior Sister, let's go back."
"Okay, Your Highness. It just so happens that we have something to report to you as well."
Now that the fortress has been saved and there is no way to obtain more information about Duke Oufei, Claire certainly does not want to stay here for long.
However, No. 1 seemed to have obtained some information when they were talking with the commander - because when Clary came out, she saw her making a special gesture that only she could understand.
"Dark Wing One calling, we need to return. Also, please inform the Marquis that his two direct subordinates will also return with him."
Even after leaving the fortress, No. 1 did not directly reveal any information about the white bird.
As a similarly foggy invisible aircraft slowly landed on a nearby open space, the four of them quickly set out on their return journey.
"Your Highness, please don't tell the young master what I'm going to say next for now... I'm worried that it will add to his burden."
"Ah, no problem. Your husband really doesn't need to take on so much responsibility - go ahead."
So, in the small magic barrier that blocked out external sounds, Karin and Mo Qianyun told Keliya the "truth" about something that Huang Yayin had told them before she left.
——And that’s not something that makes people happy.
"...I see. I don't think she would lie. This is probably true."
"What do you think we should do next?"
"Just keep an eye out for relevant clues. The fact that the lady left alone means that we are not yet able to get involved in this matter."
After hearing from Karin something that had something to do with her, Keliya immediately made the corresponding decision.
"However, this matter cannot be immediately disclosed to my husband... He is under too much pressure right now. If he were to devote more energy to this matter, his spirit would be crushed."
It is precisely because Aarons' habit of taking all the problems on himself has not changed that Claire made such a decision.
However, no one knows whether this is good or bad.
