The ocean underneath the iceberg. The water was dyed darker than usual.

It was because of the whales.

Large whales were slowly approaching the Paerun Kingdom�s shores.

�Ugh, why is it so cold today?�

�Seriously.�

The Paerun Kingdom�s northern shores. A soldier at the central patrol station handed the grumbling mage a cup of warm tea.

The communication mage took a sip of the tea before pushing it off to the side.

�Ahh, much better. Why do we need to guard this place when nobody is going to invade from this direction?�

�I agree. There is no way a southern kingdom would be able to break through the ice here.�

The South may be busy with the war, however, this northern patrol station did not need to worry about that.

Who would really invade through here?

The mage leaned on the chair and looked out to the ocean outside the window. He could see the water moving in the distance, however, the area near the patrol station was completely frozen.

It was a completely useless point of entry. Who would come through here?

�Is the next check in in an hour?�

�Yes sir.�

�Haaaah, this damn life.�

The mage sighed at his unfortunate situation of having to pass time without the chance to gain any merits. However, he still had to do his job properly.

They were in a time of war.

There were the central forces who were focused on checking in more than ever.

The central forces.

The Sekka household�s current head, Duke Rock Sekka. He was leading the central forces.

He put a lot of emphasis on information and security to the point that he created his office as the central information communication room to use with the communication mages.

�Sigh, we can�t make a generic report because the Duke-nim is listening in.� JrNovels.com
