Clang—
The doors of the magic train slowly opened, and a few passengers gradually emerged from the carriages, dragging various kinds of luggage.
As Tisnato stepped out of the carriage and onto the platform of the train station in northern Xinjiang, he exhaled a puff of white mist.
As soon as he stepped out of the car, he felt his skin tighten and faced the biting cold wind of northern Xinjiang.
At the same time, Victor slowly stepped off the train, wearing his favorite black trench coat, although the fit was now tailored to his youthful figure.
Lia followed closely behind, her hands clasped in thick wool gloves.
He gripped the hem of Victor's trench coat tightly, glancing back every now and then at the unfamiliar and cold surroundings.
Even though it's so cold in northern Xinjiang, why does my brother still wear that tattered trench coat all the time?
Isn't he cold?
Thinking of this, Liya looked down at herself, who was wrapped up like a chubby dumpling, and fell into deep thought.
At this moment, Viktor turned his head to look at both sides, surveying the changes in the surrounding northern border region.
He had been here more than once, and he had even seen the future northern frontier.
Now, the northern border region is very different from when he last visited.
It can be said that it already has the complete shape of the future northern frontier fortress.
The towering, pale marble castle stands silently on the open snowfield, like a lighthouse in the ocean, guiding the lost.
Above the massive main gate of the castle hangs a ferocious snow mastiff face, exuding intimidation.
The pale fortress was surrounded by cylindrical stone arrow towers and sentry posts, while the central area was tightly sealed with wooden planks.
No one knows what kind of deadly danger lies hidden behind those closed wooden planks.
Moreover, standing on the platform and looking into the distance, the main fortress appears even more towering, majestic, and imposing, exuding a chilling and sharp aura.
The pristine white snow mastiff sculpture stands atop the castle like a guardian deity, gazing at the distant snow-covered plains and deterring any barbarians attempting to invade the northern frontier.
Below the city wall, groups of well-equipped soldiers patrolled past, their movements orderly and disciplined.
Even an outsider could sense the righteous aura emanating from these knights at a glance.
Along the way, the Clavner family also met many local residents, who were wearing thick cotton clothes and bustling about.
They greeted the visiting guests with happy smiles.
Despite living in harsh conditions, the cold seems to have failed to extinguish the residents' enthusiasm and simplicity.
Since the Knights have firmly established themselves in the northern frontier, the barbarians from the outside world have posed almost no threat.
The knights even frequently organized operations to clear out the barbarians, in order to ensure the long-term stability of the northern frontier and avoid any danger.
In the original storyline, due to Angus's inaction, the northern border region was almost always in dire straits.
The inhabitants of the border region were not adequately protected and were often killed and plundered by barbarians, which had become an unfortunate norm.
The entire knightly order thus became corrupt and gloomy.
But now, everything has changed.
The people living here speak highly of Angus, repeatedly saying that Lord Angus is a truly good official.
This was completely different from the Angus that Victor had met before.
At that time, Angus, despite his insistence on justice, appeared to be biased and one-sided.
Because his wife and children died tragically, his only daughter was chosen to become the body of the goddess of justice.
For Gwen's sake, Angus chose an extreme path.
That is to make Gwen a god.
Although Angus's reputation was not bad at that time either.
But only the residents protected within the fortress would express their gratitude to Angus.
He wouldn't bother to care about the people outside the fortress.
Unlike now.
Once Angus receives a distress signal from residents outside northern Xinjiang, he will not hesitate to assemble a rescue team and act quickly to save them.
Even the Pale Magic Guild, which was formed because of Angus's inaction, has disappeared in this timeline.
General Vladimir thus retired early and returned to the Empire from the northern frontier to begin his retirement life.
Angus transformed from a fanatical champion of justice into a hero praised by all, accomplishing this change with just one simple factor.
That is, his family members are still alive.
Finally, following the knights that Angus had arranged beforehand, they arrived at Angus's house.
Delin Residence.
This place feels completely different from when Victor first arrived.
As soon as he stepped into the wooden house, he was greeted by the warm yellow firelight and gentle warmth.
The house exudes a sense of life, from the happy family photo hanging on the wall to the crackling flames in the fireplace.
Victor even felt that the carpet was much softer than before, as if the cold had been kept out of the outside world dozens of meters away.
This is a stark contrast to the much colder Delin Manor in the game's storyline.
As soon as they entered the house, Angus came to greet them.
With a gentle and composed smile, he gave Tisnato a hearty hug as he laughed heartily.
"It's been a long time, Tisnato."
"Hahaha, you haven't changed at all."
After parting ways, the two still had smiles on their faces, patted each other on the shoulder, and carefully looked at their long-lost friends.
They had fought side by side in Auberle, and as comrades-in-arms, Tisnato and Angus had a very deep relationship.
Otherwise, the two families wouldn't visit each other so often.
At this moment, Tisnato slightly turned his body to the side, cleverly making way for Victor, who was now almost as tall as him.
