"My father is dead."

As soon as the words were spoken, the wind and snow instantly covered the sky, and the soaring white snow completely obscured the azure sky.

It descended into a violent roar and a solitary silence.

......

At this moment, Kefra is in the western part of northern Xinjiang.

She looked at the vast castle territory before her, her fists clenched tightly.

This is the fourth territory she has visited in the past few days.

Things had come to this point, and she had no choice but to seek help from this great knight of the western frontier.

The Delin family did not have absolute power in the northern frontier.

They established a clear territorial plan on this land in northern Xinjiang.

Under the protection of the knightly family, many parts were cut off.

Aside from the gentry and wealthy who held a portion of the land, the rest of the territory was distributed among the excellent knights under Angus's command.

The knight's family recognized Kefla and offered her entry into the knight's mansion first, to wait in the meeting room.

Soon, a knight wearing a thick white fur cloak sat down in front of Kefla.

"Knight Commander Mark."

When Kefla saw the person who had arrived, she quickly stood up and bowed deeply.

"Isn't this Miss Keffa!"

"Please sit down, please sit down, no need for formalities."

"Miss Kevlar, what brings you to visit me today?"

The knight named Mark smiled, as if he were very happy to see an old friend.

The knight commander proactively brewed a cup of tea and placed it on the mahogany tea table in front of Kefla.

However, Kevlar did not pick it up, but simply said calmly.

"Mr. Mark, I won't go on with the small talk."

You should know why I'm here.

Hearing Kevlar's straightforward explanation, Mark's face showed a hint of embarrassment.

The person in front of me is the eldest daughter of the Delin family.

Logically speaking, when Angus and Jashu were unconscious, Kefla's words were equivalent to the head of the family speaking out.

However, Kefla herself was not a knight and lacked prestige within the Delin family.

In addition, Jia Xiu had already issued a warrant for his arrest once before.

Now that the problem had been placed in his hands, Mark felt somewhat hesitant.

“I know, Miss Kefla, you have traveled to many territories, and the news has already reached us.”

“But we can’t just issue an arrest warrant for Viktor on a whim.”

This matter had already reached the capital.

The meaning of the nobles and ministers in the capital was quite clear: this was a family matter between Clementa and the Delin family.

"In other words, the capital city is temporarily tacitly approving of this matter."

Mark poured himself a cup of tea and gulped it down.

He opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of hot air.

He really can't act rashly in this matter.

Unless the master himself wakes up and abolishes the arrest warrant, the knights will not be convinced.

"Besides, Miss Kevlar, all we want to do is bring Victor back. Nobody will do anything to him."

If Victor is truly guilty, then the Emperor should be the one to judge him, not the Delin family.

Therefore, an arrest warrant serves only as a warning.

Kevlar listened to Mark's excuses and gave a cold laugh.

“Every lord of yours uses the same rhetoric.”

"But which of you dares to take action to capture Viktor?"

This is the truth.

Although Victor's wanted posters were flying all over the North.

But no knight commander dared to send troops to capture him.

Only the people of northern Xinjiang were filled with righteous indignation when they saw the arrest warrant.

His reputation is not good right now.

Every day, Kevlar could hear the foul language uttered by those simple, honest northern men.

Even when children cry in the middle of the night, the words their mothers say most often are...

'If you cry again, I'll have Victor arrest you.'

The effect was very obvious; the child immediately stopped crying.

In the hearts of hundreds of thousands of people in the northern frontier, even if Viktor was a fourth-tier mage, he was naturally no match for the Grand Knight Angus whom they praised.

“Miss Kevlar, I really can’t make that decision.”

"Is it that they can't make the decision, or that they don't want to?"

Kevlar continued to question Mark, her eyes growing increasingly cold.

Mark lowered his head guiltily, glancing to one side of the room to avoid Kevlar's gaze.

At that moment, a knight suddenly burst into the meeting room.

"Knight Commander! Something's happened!"

News has arrived from the far north!

Upon hearing the news, Mark and Kevlar stood up abruptly, uttering a single word almost simultaneously:

"explain!"

The knight trembled slightly the moment he saw Kefla, and even his voice became a little unsteady:

"The barbarians were completely wiped out! By those Pale Magicians, and..."

"And what?! Tell me!"

The knight trembled at Mark's roar.

"And... there's also the help of demons."

"What?"

The fact that demons had helped humanity was widely known among the knights of the North, thanks to the Pale Sorcerer's Guild's extensive propaganda.

Mark was stunned, and so was Kevlar.

The demon... helped humanity?

Kefla's body began to tremble uncontrollably.

She couldn't believe it.

As a witcher, Kefla has seen many demons.

She had never seen, nor heard of, a demon that would willingly help humans.
