After saying that, Andrew took out another dry food bag and threw it to the old woman. Everyone couldn't help but look at Andrew's waist. How many dry food bags did you bring?
"Thank you, Your Highness."
The old woman originally wanted to refuse, but when she saw the longing looks in her tribe's eyes, she accepted it. The Northandra people were not proficient in planting. They generally relied on hunting and fishing for a living, and could not live without meat.
Hearing that the old woman also addressed Andrew as 'His Royal Highness', Princess Elsa and Princess Anna were filled with shame and anger. The kick just now was definitely too gentle.
Matthew, a cold-faced and kind-hearted person, had no problem with Andrew giving some of the dried meat to the Northsandra people. He continued:
"Twenty years ago, the then King of Arendelle, Queen Elsa and your grandfather, established diplomatic relations with the Northandra people and helped them build dams for a better life.
Everything was going well. On the day the dam was built, we held a celebration ceremony. Who knows, the old king and the Northandra leader suddenly started fighting each other for some unknown reason. Of course we had to go and help. The two sides fought like this.
Got up.
In the end, we both lost, and even the old king died in the battle. I originally wanted to take the remaining soldiers and leave the Magic Forest, but the Magic Forest was blocked and we could only stay here."
Having said this, Matthew glanced at the Northsandra people opposite and said: "We think it's the Northsandra people who are doing it, and the Northsandra people think it's us.
We have been fighting like this for more than 20 years, until a few days ago, the bug appeared and we were forced to join forces."
The old woman said coldly: "People from Northandra would never play tricks on their friends."
Matthew wanted to argue, but then he sighed and said: "We have been arguing for decades. You are not tired. I am tired and I don't want to argue anymore."
Princess Elsa and Anna had a headache. Of course they didn't think their grandfather was at fault, but the people of Northandra didn't seem to be at fault either.
Andrew said: "We will talk about what happened back then. Let's talk about the bugs first."
Matthew nodded and said: "The bugs suddenly appeared a few days ago. There were only a few at first. They were very unscrupulous and hunted wildly in the forest, basically eating whatever they saw.
The magic forest is spiritual. The animals sensed the crisis and went to attack the bugs together. Later, even the stone man and the other three spirits joined the action."
"What are the other three spirits like?"
Princess Anna asked curiously. At this moment, a firelight flew towards Anna from under the stove. Anna was startled and hurriedly leaned back. Elsa raised her hand, and a ball of cold air sprayed towards the firelight.
The cold air hit the fire, and the firelight fell on the ground, turning into a small thing the size of a palm, somewhat similar to a lizard. It was hit by the cold air, and not only was it lifeless, it was also very happy, jumping around on the ground, which was a bit cute.
Olaf was very interested in this little thing and ran over to look at it curiously. The little thing was also very curious about Olaf. The two strange beings stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
"It is the fire spirit among the four spirits. Even though it is small, it can set the forest on fire at any time."
Matthew introduced: "We now rely on it to light fires. It likes to hide in fires, but I didn't expect it to be hiding with us today."
"This is the Fire Spirit? It's so cute. It's completely different from those stone people."
Princess Anna squatted down and said in surprise. Andrew's eyes flashed slightly. There were obvious rules fluctuations in this fire spirit. It seemed that the four spirits should all have rules.
"However, there are so many stone men, who has the rules? Also, as the fifth spirit, why hasn't Elsa discovered the rules?"
Andrew touched his chin and thought to himself: "Is it because Elsa has not fully developed her magic power? When Elsa gets mad, she can freeze the entire Arendelle, so there must be the power of rules."
Fire Spirit heard Princess Anna saying that she was cute, and a lot of flames came out of her body. Princess Anna smiled and breathed cold air at Fire Spirit. She is more proficient in this magic than Elsa, because she only knows two basic magics.
The fire spirit was not angry, but very happy. He jumped into Princess Anna's hand and rolled around.
Elsa was amazed. Are these the four spirits? They look so friendly. Are they the ones who summoned her?
Matthew was not surprised by the performance of the fire spirit. After all, he was already familiar with it. However, Princess Anna's coldness surprised him. The two princesses of Arendelle can actually do magic?
Matthew shook his head and continued: "In addition to the fire spirit, there are also water horses and wind. The wind has no entity and we can't see it. As for the water horse, it was caught by a bug and we don't know what happened to it now."
While Matthew was speaking, a gust of wind mixed with fallen leaves floated past everyone, but except for Andrew, no one else noticed the gust of wind.
Seeing this, Andrew raised his hand, and the wind spirit quickly rotated in his hand with joy. Andrew took the opportunity to communicate with the other party and found that the other party's consciousness was unrestrained, full of joy and happiness, and was completely different from human consciousness.
Aisha heard Matthew's words and asked anxiously: "Water horse was caught?"
"Yes, they were caught. Although the number of bugs is much smaller than ours, their strength is superior to ours."
Matthew nodded and said: "We were defeated, a large number of animals died, and the four spirits covered our retreat.
We originally planned to fight back, but the next day, the number of insects increased several times. Now, we were no match at all. We were defeated by them, and the water horse was captured at that time.
After that, under the protection of the stone men, we retreated here to survive. As for the insects, they did not attack us, but hunted animals first, and fish in the river. As long as they were living things, they were devoured by them."
At this point, Matthew sighed and said: "As for what will happen next, no one knows. Queen Elsa, Princess Anna, and His Highness the Prince, I suggest you leave the Magic Forest as soon as possible. It is too dangerous here.
"
"Yes, it's too dangerous here."
Other soldiers also said that the gathering place seemed safe, but in fact, it was just that the insects did not attack.
"I have a reason to be here."
Elsa shook her head. She thought for a moment and said, "Let's do this. I'll take you and the Northandra people out of the forest first, and then come back to explore everything. Anna, you take them back to Arendelle for resettlement."
Princess Anna was very dissatisfied: "Sister, you want to take the opportunity to drive me away, right? I won't leave, let Xuebao take them back and resettle them."
Xuebao looked confused. I'm just a snowman. Are you embarrassed to give me such a big responsibility?
Seeing that she couldn't hide it from Anna, Elsa turned to look at Andrew. Andrew didn't speak and kept teasing the wind spirit in his palm.
"Your Majesty, how can we abandon you and leave on our own?"
Matthew shouted excitedly, and so did the other soldiers. As guards, their mission was to protect the king, not to let the king protect them.
If they left like this, they would have no shame in returning to Arendelle, and the people in Arendelle would not accept them.
The old woman also shouted: "We Northandra people are born here, die here, and will never leave."
Elsa was helpless. She really meant well, but no one wanted to leave. Andrew smiled and said: "Since everyone is a hero, what else is there to say? If you fight with the insect, even if you die in the battle, you have to chop the insect with a knife.
Let them know how powerful we humans are."
"His Royal Highness said it well."
The soldiers shouted one after another that they would never become deserters. It didn't matter that the insects were scary, just fight them.
The people of Northandra also nodded. This is their home. They will never run away. The worst they can do is be buried here. The nightmare beast wanted to run away, but it couldn't. It sighed. The joys and sorrows between humans and nightmare beasts are
totally different.
"That's right, let's fight them."
Princess Anna shouted excitedly, "This girl is very militant. Elsa looked at Princess Anna speechlessly. If you shout, how can you explain that Andrew is not their prince?"
After everyone finished shouting, Andrew asked Matthew: "Lieutenant Matthew, were there any strange phenomena in the Enchanted Forest before the bugs appeared?"
"Vision?"
Matthew thought for a while and said: "The night before the bugs appeared, there was a very big thunder in the south of the forest. Everyone was frightened awake. Because the noise was too loud, no one dared to go and look.
By the way, bugs also appear in the south, and it may have something to do with that thunder."
"South?"
Andrew thought for a while and said to Elsa: "Elsa, let the ice elf go to the south to explore. The insect's lair should be over there."
Aisha nodded: "Okay, I'll let them pass. I hope the bugs won't find them."
"Ice elf?"
Matthew was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask any more questions. At this time, the dried meat was cooked and everyone started to eat. Although the food was very ordinary, Princess Anna had a good appetite and enjoyed the meal.
In contrast, Elsa is worried and has little appetite. As the queen, she has to bring everyone safely back to Arendelle, and she also has to find the truth and resolve the crisis in Arendelle, which is a lot of pressure.
Elsa is very kind, and as a queen, she is used to taking all responsibilities on herself.
"Even if you have no appetite, you still have to drink some. There is a tough battle to fight next."
Andrew walked up to Elsa, handed her a bowl of soup, and said. Elsa shook her head and said, "No, I'm not hungry now, and with magic, my need for food is very low."
Andrew said: "After drinking, I will give you a surprise and let you know your life experience."
"My life experience? Your Highness, don't I know my own life experience and need you to tell me?"
Aisha complained, and Andrew said: "That's not necessarily true. I promise you, you will know your life experience. Believe me, I never lie. If I say I want to marry you two sisters, I must marry you."
"Are you sure this is a good example? I haven't settled the accounts with you for what happened before?"
Aisha was speechless. She hesitated for a moment, then took the bowl and drank slowly.
