Chapter 156: End of winter

This spring came a little late, and the snow still showed no signs of melting. Bran in Northland City already knew about his sister's plan. He was also very interested and wanted to know the development of the situation.
It is planned that the first batch of insects, Nag, will be released outside the western border when the spring flowers bloom.
Bran has only recently learned about the details of his sister's deeds. Although he has always had correspondence with his home, the frequency of communication has been decreasing. Most of the family chose to conceal things that might cause him to worry, and they would not tell them until the dust settled. Bran understands his family because he does the same.
The sudden emergence of my sister has made the people around me feel more concerned, so the eyes they looked at Bran recently were a bit strange. In the end, Zoya, the little girl, was urged by her seemingly loyal comrades to run to Bran to seek answers.
"Which one is better, you or Lily?"
"she was."
This answer is obviously not what Zoya wants to hear, "How is it possible?"
"You are asking, who is better in fighting, right?"
"Correct."
Bran replied affirmatively again: "I can't beat her."
This made Zoya very disappointed, "I learned a lot of her knowledge from you?"
"No, many times we should be communicating with each other. When we have an idea, we need someone to be able to communicate frankly, and we need to experience hands-on experiments.
Who knew what the result would be? It's all some ideas, and then we experiment on ourselves. Luckily, it succeeded. What if it did not succeed?
Before successful verification, who knows what is right and wrong? "
Zoya left with a little disappointment, ready to tell other people the unfortunate news...
After Zoya left, the ancient tree beside Bran said: "And me, with my help, she must be no opponent."
Bran squinted at the guy who started walking on eight legs every day and was aggressive.
At this time, the ancient tree finally grew a face, a strange baby face. This doll has a few blue shadows on its face, but it has cat eyes, cat beard, and a pair of cat ears. Moreover, the ancient tree even gave himself a facial pattern!
Looking at this painted face, Bran couldn't help but sighed, "That's my sister!"
"Are we kissing?"
This question completely baffled Bran, so he turned off the topic: "If you have nothing to do, walk and practice more."
"Well, I'll try another walk."
The old trees follow the kindness and start to circle around Bran...
Bran patiently waited for the warmth of spring to bloom, waited for the road to become unblocked, and waited for more wizards and travelers to come here. And he was most concerned about the materials that scholars promised to send.
...
There are many people waiting for the warmth of spring, but most of them are in an anxious mood.
Irene and her brother Ayman stood on the shore of the Bibo Islands, facing the sea breeze, feeling the slightly warm atmosphere. Spring is coming, the sea surface has quietly thawed, and in a while, Irene will follow a group of wizards to the Northland City.
Their father Hall brought a lot of troubles to them, and these troubles forced them to grow up quickly. In order to wash away the humiliation brought by their father, the brothers and sisters have a sense of urgency that other teenagers do not have.
Two snake-like creatures entangled the two brothers and sisters respectively, and a thick mist of magic power gathered around them. These were the two crystal Bran gave her in exchange for Irene. The exchange went very smoothly. Many people thought that Irene had suffered a great loss, including Irene herself.
Even so, this exchange also made other companions envious. The ability to own this kind of creature alone is rare in Dragon Knight. Most of them are taken care of and managed intensively, and they are only allocated to teenagers during the inheritance ceremony.
When this creature swallows magic power through breathing, it will form a cloud of magic power around the body, and these can also be used by teenagers to absorb and strengthen their bodies. So during the ceremony, the teenagers almost ate and lived with them. Sometimes there will be some side effects. When the body feels uncomfortable, it will take a while.
Fortunately, she and her brother have always adapted well, and this creature is also very close to them.
Irene's feelings for Bran are complicated. Although Bran spared her father's life, he deafened him. She knew that she couldn't blame Bran about this matter, and she might do it even more decisively.
She didn't know how to face Bran, and she was very worried in the past this time. Recently, I started to dream of Bran Mountain Villa again, which has become her biggest goal in life since the first time I saw it.
Bran now occupies Northland City, and he doesn't know what he will build that city into. Will it be more beautiful than the villa? Once this kind of thought came out of her mind, she couldn't suppress it anymore. She just wanted to see it there as soon as possible.
Now she no longer considers the customs of snatching relatives in the North Land, but is ready to retreat and defeat all those who dare to fight with her. She and Bran are not big, there is still plenty of time to plan for many things, and now she is more worried about her unconscious father.
My father walked too suddenly and didn't say hello to anyone, including his mother. Even if a person like a father is already deaf, it is difficult for others to notice if he wants to do something.
With his father's character, he can only go to Sandstone City or Northland City, which many people have already guessed. Before the accident, his father had always been a very generous person and had many friends, but this incident has kept friends away from him.
When his father first fled back, his friends had also cared about him. It's just that my father's temper became weird and he gradually offended all these people.
So they transferred some concerns to her and brother, but she didn't like it. She felt that it was mercy and charity, she was a dragon rider! No mercy, no charity.
Only the mother is truly sad, but she has nothing to do. The father at that time is simply unreasonable. Under the care of his mother, his father gradually recovered, until Bran released the news of recruiting wizards.
I heard my mother say: A few days before my father left, he would wake up in a dream, and he has become completely normal.
Father packed up his clothes, just like when he led the team on numerous trips. He cleaned everything up, and then disappeared with weapons, armor, and mounts.
The mother seemed very calm when she stated this.
Because the father will either wash his shame with his life, or regain his glory and return. Regardless of his fate, when his father made this decision, he was already free.
