The colorful lights fell in the banquet hall, and the elegant piano music sounded like running water. Aristocrats in luxurious evening gowns shuttled through the hall, smiling faces.

Compared with the lost prosperity of Limontanelu, this magnificent guild hall has not been affected by the Lizardman War. The extravagant atmosphere rippled in the air, and the joyful laughter never stopped.

On the second floor of the guild hall, there was a light golden private room, and someone was watching the communication between the nobles in the banquet hall.

"Are they sure of their purpose?" In front of the glazed window, the figure shrouded in the gray cloak asked.

"Of course, the offensive of Beshilik Kingdom is in full swing, and they have no choice." The noble young woman in a pale white robe chuckled softly, her indifferent eyes overlooking all the nobles in the banquet hall.

If a kingdom nobleman could see the true face of this young woman, he would definitely speak out in surprise.

Lena Baker, the top noble in the southern part of the Stock Kingdom: the representative of the Baker family is a talented spellcaster, especially in the realm of ice spells.

There were rumors that the proud daughter of the Baker family had been studying in the far north for a while, and when she returned to the south of the kingdom, she showed her strength as a peak mage.

The gray figure turned his head slightly, looked to the north, and spoke, "The Temple of Wealth, Temple of Power, or the Valoran Territory in the north of the Kingdom, these may be good choices."

"Compared with you, those are far from the best choices." Lina shook her head gently, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, adding charm to her extremely tempting face.

"Because the nobles of Limontanlu do not recognize that those forces belonging to the kingdom, including Valoran. Well... I think, there seems to be rumors that Baron Modrian is preparing to carry out aristocratic reforms, which may destroy the cornerstone of the nobles' survival."

"Very interesting news, is this a similar idea to the Valante family?" The gray figure suddenly made a sound, hiding inside the cloak, her eyes flashing, wanting to explore something.

"So our beloved His Majesty Lloyd finally passed away in despair, leaving a lot of mess for his young successor, His Majesty Guy, Oh... Now even the Valante family has disappeared in the long river of history." Lina chuckled indifferently, with a hint of coldness flashing in her indifferent pupils.

The many problems exposed by the Stoke Kingdom did not appear for no reason. Thinking deeper, it is the result of the game between different interest groups.

"Rotary Root?" The gray figure looked at the noble young woman in front of him thoughtfully. There was information about such aristocratic alliance in the information collected by the forces behind him.

Lina turned slightly, and the cold air appeared out of thin air, turning into a light blue mist, filling the private room: "It seems like what do you want to know?"

"Representative of the noble Kingdom of Fadirha?!"

"This is for sure." The gray figure did not feel the cold temperature, and his tone did not change. "The Kingdom of Fadirha does not want to fall into the current state of the Kingdom of Stoke."

"And accepting your allegiance may also offend the Valoran leader in the north of the Kingdom."

"legend!"

"You should be very clear, Lord Lina, what that means."

The frost and mist gradually covered the box, the light golden walls, the baked fireplaces, and the hanging crystal lamps were stained with frost, as if crystal ridges of ice were condensed.

"Hehe! Hehe!"

Lina stretched out her fair right hand, gently covered her mouth, laughed a few times, and the extended spirit pierced the frost energy in the air and dispelled the chill in the box.

"Your Excellency is joking. Compared with the vested interests, Valoran's title should not be anything, right?"

In the eyes of many human kingdoms on the continent of Kaladimos, territory and population are eternal topics of competition. They use all kinds of conspiracies and open conspiracies, as well as even more cruel bloody killings.

"I'm a little curious about the members of the Root Root. After all, a mere Baker family should not be that powerful." The gray figure became more and more eager, and the completely substantial eyes under the cloak stared at Lina, implicitly warning.

A silent and stiff atmosphere came to the private room. The two of them looked at each other speechlessly, and the sudden aura clashed in the air.

"The banquet is coming to an end. Please prepare for it. We will meet with many controllers of noble forces later." Finally, Lina lowered her beautiful face slightly and spoke softly, with a light blue mist lingering in her eyes.

After bowing slightly, she took a few steps back, opened the door, and prepared to leave the private room and go to the reserved side hall.

"Um?"

Looking at the empty corridor, Lina stopped and an inexplicable trembling feeling surged into her heart.

The bright yellow light shone on the winding corridor. Because of this special meeting, she came alone, but the quiet atmosphere is now a bit terrible.

Seeing Lina's pace stopped, the gray cloaked figure frowned, not realizing the abnormal situation in the corridor.

"What happened?"

The words in her ears distracted Lina's attention slightly, but the next moment, her expression suddenly changed, and the cry of fear exploded deep in her soul.

In the moment of distraction, a blood-red dagger rushed to the front with a lightning speed in his sight.

Crack! Crack!

The crystal earrings at the earlobe and the blue gem necklace between the neck were broken at the same time. The blooming frost mist formed an ice armor about three feet thick in front of him, covering Lina's figure.

[Advanced Spell: Ice Armor]!

bite!

A crisp sound echoed in the corridor, and the blood-colored dagger ejected on the solid ice armor, falling lightly to the marble floor, and the cracks like spider webs were densely covered with ice armor.

[Intermediate Spell: Cold Path]!

The smooth and neat marble floor is covered with layers of frost, and the lingering ice mist freezes the walls, without any ground to step on.

[Advanced Spell: Resist the Ice Ring]!

More than that, the azure blue ice rings vented from the broken ice armor, carrying a majestic force to crush the door of the private room and the light golden walls, and drive away all the objects around them.

As the attack came, Lina quickly reacted. Before she could care about the breaking of magical items, she noticed that an assassin had penetrated into the private corridor.

Two consecutive instant spells hollowed out nearly half of her mental power, all of which were to prevent the assassin from approaching her.

The extreme cold came, and ice ridges condensed in the air. To Lina's expectations, there seemed to be no figure coming.

Apart from the blood-red dagger... wait, that dagger...

【Ejection Blade】!

[Ejection Blade: Katerina throws a dagger, causing great magic damage to the target and 2 nearby enemies. The dagger will then bounce onto the ground behind the main target.]

“Does I smell fear?”
