Chapter 43： war! war!

Winters in the Empire are cold.

This year seems to be colder than ever due to the cold wave.

But for Eli, it's no different, it's just two points and one line between the imperial library and the home.

The experiment went on, but it kept failing.

Of course, Eli did not give up meditation during this process, because this was the foundation for him to settle down, and the witchcraft did not fall in the slightest, and continued to learn new witchcraft.

He usually goes to the casino to play a little when he has nothing to do with get off work, but it is not like before, he is really just playing and trying not to cheat.

If you lose, go home, and if you win, go to Liuying Lane not far away.

However, due to the characteristics of wizards, they also win more and lose less.

…

In the blink of an eye, another two months passed.

Eli received a little bit of news.

"Scholars test postponed?"

In Maester Lemon's office, Eli was a little surprised.

"Yes, it may be because of the cold winter that it is not easy for scholars from other places to come here, so you are planning to postpone it until the summer. You don't need to be too nervous, just relax." Maester Lemon comforted.

Eli nodded.

Becoming a scholar is only part of his plan, but it doesn't matter if it's delayed. It's not a big deal anyway. He used to be jealous of the salary increase, but now he has long disliked the salary of the library.

Here, it's just a matter of peace.

"Well, delaying it for half a year will also give you more confidence. You should prepare well." Bachelor Lemon looked at Eli with admiration.

He's getting old and it's hard to rise.

But these students of his still have a bright future. After experiencing the incident of the last Earl, he also appreciates Eli even more, and Eli never arrives late or leaves early, which also makes him appreciate it very much.

Self-discipline is also a good quality.

"Well, teacher, I will prepare well." Eli nodded and left the room.

On the way downstairs, he looked at the frost outside the window.

There is an inexplicable feeling that the academic test may not be held next summer, and may have to be postponed.

But this time reality did not go as Eli expected.

Scholars testing has not been postponed.

May be cancelled.

Because... war is coming.

…

310 years of the imperial calendar.

With winter coming to an end.

An earth-shattering event took place in the Empire.

The Duke of Frostwolf in the north rebelled, and united with the northern grasslands, ready to defect from the empire and form a new country.

Everything seems to be coming true just like the rumors in the winter of previous years.

For a time, the empire was surging.

Although there is no news from the king, everyone knows that the storm has begun to blow.

Sure enough, one day after two days.

As King Byrne VI issued a solicitation order, he summoned the lords under his command to prepare for war with the Duke of Frostwolf, and he had to go to the battlefield in person.

This surprised everyone.

…

Another half month.

Eli met the supreme ruler of the empire for the first time.

Byrne VI.

I saw it on Suzaku Street leading to the outside of the city.

This is a king who is already an old man, wearing silver-white armor, standing upright in front of the chariot, with a white beard, but the aura emanating from his body is the strongest that Eli has ever seen.

He was sure that it was the peak of the great knight.

On both sides of the king were knights on horses, each of whom was at least a high-ranking knight, and behind him were long infantrymen, dressed in black display stands, like a long dragon.

"Is this the descendant of Sarin Metatlin?" Eli looked at the old man, but unfortunately he didn't have a portrait of Sarin Metatlin, or maybe he could really confirm it.

"The war is about to start, should I eat mashed potatoes or goose breast tonight!" Standing in the crowd, Eli watched for a while and then left.

Fighting, as long as it doesn't hit King's Landing, has nothing to do with him.

The only pity is that this year's academics test may actually be canceled.

…

Time flies, and a month has passed.

The king's marching speed was much faster than Eli imagined. In just half a month, he had already arrived at the domain of Duke Frostwolf, and was followed by a large number of other lords.

And their opponent is the Duke of Frostwolf and the union of the steppe.

The war has begun.

a month later.

The war is over.

The war ended much faster than Eli imagined. Originally, he thought that since Duke Frostwolf dared to assassinate the king, or even rebelled, he must have been prepared, but he did not expect to lose so much in the battle.

However, this cannot be blamed on Duke Frostwolf.

It is said that the king was so brave that he led an army directly, and then went deep into Frostwolf Castle and pulled the Duke of Frostwolf from the bed.

No one thought of this. After all, the king was already seventy years old.

Wars start hastily and end more hastily.

On the day of the king's triumph, Eli also paid a special visit.

He mingled with the crowd and saw the king again.

He rode on a dark warhorse with the blood of a demon beast, and his appearance did not change much from before, but Eli saw that UU reading www. uukanshu.com This king's mental strength is not as strong as before.

Or in general burning.

Probably a few years to live.

…

Just about three or four months.

So many things have happened, but for many people, it has a great impact. With the death of a duke, a large area has become empty again, and a large number of nobles have begun to want to swallow them like jackals.

But the king did not assign them to them, but assigned them to his second son, or his second prince, who was also named Grand Duke.

As for the eldest prince, the prince that Eli had only heard of but had never seen, Eli estimated that he was already preparing for the succession to the throne.

It shouldn't be a problem to live in the state before the king for thirty or forty years, but now it is estimated that it will be seven or eight years at most, which makes the eldest prince, who is almost forty years old, an unexpected "surprise".

Of course, for Eli, these may affect him layer by layer through the top, but the impact is very limited. After all, the library is not only independent of the empire, but he is only a librarian.

If even he can be significantly affected, he feels that the country should be dying.

As for the scholar test, let alone cancel it, the next time it will be held is also four years later.

For this matter, Maester Lemon also specifically talked to Eli, as if to tell him not to worry too much and let him continue to work hard.

Eli really doesn't matter, isn't it four years?

He has more time.

And recently, he is in a good mood. As time goes by, Eli's potion experiment has become more and more perfect, and he can feel that the day when a low-grade potion is prepared is getting closer.

"Everything is getting better."
