Forced to become a delicate companion of a paranoid lord

After lunch, the team continued on their journey. Xie Wei wanted to ride for a while. The weather was good today, with little wind. The snow on the road was very thick, but this was nothing for the polar horses.

Sal had originally planned to let Shevi ride the horse occasionally during the winter tour, so the little white horse Ji was also brought in the winter tour caravan.

Xie Wei hasn't played with the pony since winter. Ji Yi was a little grumpy, and Xie Wei couldn't appease him even after feeding him several pieces of candy.

While he was soothing his pony, he whispered crickets in its ear.

"I want to play with you, but Sal is so mean. He won't let me go out. That's too much, isn't it? Jiyi, can we make peace? You are the most beautiful pony and the most majestic horse on the snowy plain. Can you forgive me? I can give you five more candies tomorrow."

There is no horse that doesn't like to be praised, and no pony can remain unmoved by Xie Wei's gentle caress and the temptation of candy. After a while of stroking his fur, Ji Yi once again affectionately reconciled with his little master.

Sal stood by and listened to the whole thing. He thought his partner was so cute when he saw him talking bad to the pony. He wanted to kiss the little mouth. After Xie Wei finished coaxing the little white horse, he walked to his partner and put him on the horse.

Xie Wei had actually learned how to get on the horse easily, but the clothes he was wearing were not very convenient, so he could only ask Sal for help.

As soon as he sat on the horse, he saw Mr. Irel, who was wearing a black hunting suit and a cloak, holding the saddle with one hand, climbing onto the horse neatly, then pulling the reins and turning the horse's head to look at him.

Xie Wei lowered his eyes and questioned Sal with his eyes. The man holding the reins handed it to him and nodded very understandingly: "Go and play."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Wei led Ji Yi to the black-haired magician, not considering at all that his partner might actually be pretending to be generous.

Seeing Xie Wei leaving happily without any hesitation, Sal felt helpless but could only suppress his possessiveness. As long as Little Rose was happy, he would feel very satisfied.

Standing where he was without following, the Lord of the Snowfield restrained all his tenderness and affection after leaving his partner's sight. His eyes fell coldly on the black-haired magician, and then he moved away as if nothing had happened.

While Shevi's attention was drawn to Frost, Iriel had an eye-to-eye argument with the Lord of the Snowfield from a distance with the same indifferent gaze.

Sal has checked Irel's background and is now certain that this wandering magician has a deep feud with the imperial royal family and Grand Duke Hudson's family. The other party has been gathering His Highness Elias's former subordinates everywhere over the years. Even the magician Rafa who was sent to the Far North Territory is an old acquaintance of Little Rose's family.

This person's exact age cannot be determined from his appearance. According to his own statement, he should be in his forties, but judging from his appearance alone, he is no more than twenty-six or twenty-seven years old.

The appearance of a powerful magician does change much more slowly than that of an ordinary person, so it is reasonable.

With the support of the Order of the Rose and the one who promoted the rebellion in the eastern part of the empire, Thrall could basically let Iri and Shevi contact each other with confidence.

During this period, the black-haired magician taught Little Rose with all his heart and soul, and took great pains to find many rare items for Little Rose to play with. He did not reveal any other purpose, and it seemed that he was simply coaxing the child. Such behavior was also consistent with his identity as an old subordinate of Xie Wei's father.

All in all, there is no harm in Little Rose playing with this person. The only bad thing is that Little Rose listens to him too much.

You know, Xie Wei sometimes doesn't listen to him and even gets angry, but he is very well behaved in front of the black-haired magician.

Even though Xie Wei's temper was deliberately indulged by him, the Lord of the Snowfield was still somewhat psychologically unbalanced, but he could only endure it, because even he himself did not really want to provoke the other party. He always felt that the consequences of angering the other party would be very serious.

……

The Sodom Tribe, which is closest to the city of Gut, is built on a sheltered hillside. In previous winters, after the sun went down, the mountain road leading to the tribe was always pitch black. One had to walk all the way from the foot of the mountain to the tower in front of the tribal gate to see a little light, and the tribe was always quiet.

But today is very different.

Today, on both sides of the road from the entrance of the Sodom tribe to the foot of the mountain, there are two Paraso warriors holding windproof torches at regular intervals to illuminate the mountain road.

Not only that, fire baskets that are only used during celebrations were lit in front of the doors of every household in the tribe, and a bonfire was even lit in the wider martial arts field.

As early as half a month ago, when they heard that the lord would take His Highness Shiyavi on a winter tour, the various tribes began to prepare.

The Sodom tribe was the first stop on the winter tour. After the lord's travel date was confirmed, everyone from the chief to the elderly Adan Aim and the little Doma and Machi who had just learned to walk were busy preparing to welcome the arrival of His Highness Shiavi.

Although conditions were limited and there was no way to prepare in a decent way to welcome the Yagne in the snowy plains, everyone collected the best things they could, cleaned the cleanest house, and then waited for the arrival of the winter patrol team with trepidation but expectation.

After riding horses for a while in the afternoon, Xie Wei had not yet satisfied his passion when he was taken off the horse by Sal and put into the carriage.

After dark, it was the usual dinner time, but Thrall did not get into the carriage. He told Shevi through the window that it would take more than two hours to reach the first tribe, Sodom, so dinner would be postponed and there would be a bonfire dinner when they arrived at the tribe.

Just before reaching the Sodom tribe, Thrall went into the carriage and added another silver-white robe to Shevi, then took out the corresponding accessories and belt to help Shevi dress properly.

Xie Wei knew that the people of Paraso would wear bright clothes and the best accessories at more important banquets. What Sal had given him to wear today was the red Paraso costume, but now he had given him another piece of clothing on the outside because the temperature at night was much lower than during the day.

He didn't know that there was no bonfire dinner during the winter patrols in the past, and he just thought it was a custom of the Parasau people.

When the convoy reached the foot of the mountain where the tribe was located, Sal led Shevi off the carriage and had a brief exchange with the leader of Sodom. Afterwards, Gesan and Toya accompanied Shevi back to the carriage, while Sal rode with the others to the tribe.

The mountain road leading to the Sodom tribe is wide and flat. Xie Wei looked through the car window for a long time but didn't see Iriel and Raymond. He didn't see the two people when he got off the car just now. He asked Gesan and Toya, but they didn't notice them either.

Dylan followed the carriage as usual and was responsible for guarding the Imperial Rose. Seeing Xie Wei looking for someone at the window, he thought for a moment and moved closer and said, "Your Highness, the lord is in front of the carriage. Mr. Irel and Mr. Raymond left the convoy with Frost and said they would be back later."

The carriage had two layers of windows, and when the inner window was opened, one could hear people talking outside. Xie Wei felt relieved after hearing Dylan's words, and planned to ask Frost where Mr. Iriel took it to play after they came back.

Iriel and Raymond rode their horses not far below the mountain, looking at the mountain road lit by torches. As the carriage moved forward, the fire at the foot of the mountain moved up little by little, and finally disappeared completely. Then he turned on the crystal lamp for lighting, and let Frost, whose wings were gradually growing hard, hold the lamp in his claws to illuminate them, and then turned the horse's head and galloped away in another direction.

Raymond followed closely behind Iriel, and from time to time he would help Flos, who was flapping his wings hard, to clear out a few small flying monsters that traveled at night.

After running for who knows how far, he couldn't hold back his words any longer and started blabbering.

"Yriel, were you just thinking that it would be good for him to stay here?"

This time the black-haired magician did not ignore him on purpose, and a brief word floated in the cold wind.

He said: "It's better than following me."

Raymond was stunned for a moment. He didn't know why he felt a little uncomfortable and couldn't figure it out, so he shouted loudly.

"No, it's best to follow Yrel! I like following Yrel the most! I want to follow Yrel forever!"

Frost was frightened by Raymond's roar, and the whole dragon trembled and almost fell to the snow. Iriel reached out to grab it. With the help of the light of the crystal lamp on its claws, Frost saw that under the cover of the wide hood, the black-haired magician seemed to have an expression that could be called happy. Although it was fleeting, it did exist.
