It was night, and Rikka was still holding Boom, keeping her left hand in the form of a short blade. The headband transformed from a parchment roll was tied to her wrist, and the black wooden staff had long since fallen silent.
However, at this time, Boom once again transformed into a small fish. However, this time he did not go deep into the ocean, but quietly surfaced and stared blankly at the sky, as if he was standing in the yard every morning. "Bulimic eating disorder can make me temporarily forget the pain, and losing my mind can make me burst out with powerful magic. Although the sequelae of both are huge, they can also be regarded as my trump card."
"Perhaps Rikka is right, why should I become a little fish, and why should I be in this blue land. This is my domain, and everything must be obeyed by me!"
As Boom's eyes grew colder, countless cracks suddenly appeared in the sky, and the sea surface shattered into colorful pieces like a mirror falling to the ground.
Boom's figure slowly transformed into a human form and slowly floated into the thick clouds. At the same time, the world also ushered in the first day of the wind and moon, but the temperature was still cold.
"Sure enough, the craftsmanship of the ancient continent is different. Look at these patterns, and then look at these carvings and hollows."
"Good things, all of them are good things! The swords of the dwarves, the furs of the orcs, the potions of the trolls, the handicrafts of the elves, the jewelry of the dark elves, and the technological products of the goblins."
"Dragon crystals, ten dragon crystals in total! The luster is so beautiful, the quality is so perfect, and the fluctuations in magic power are so fascinating."
In the largest building in Qunzhai, a man in his fifties was wearing a brocade robe and holding a cane, looking greedily at the boxes of treasures in front of him.
This man's name is Adrian, the leader of the Vikings, the king of the villages, and the lord of the frozen continent. After he succeeded to the throne more than 20 years ago, he has always called himself "king".
It's just that he is far less wise than other principalities. He either scolds the ministers and the principality's cavalry every day for not working hard, or he indulges himself in wine pools and meat forests.
He even convicted Belinda, the city lord of Changsuo City, for a small matter a few years ago. If she had won the hearts of the people, she would have been replaced by his close confidant.
However, from that day on, Qunzhai completely cut off basic support to Changsuo City. Instead, they imposed exorbitant taxes, levied excessive taxes, and raped the bones and sucked out the marrow.
"Then why don't you hurry up and thank that guy named Ragnar? These things were brought back from the Principality of Cisse."
"Everyone knows that the frozen continent is isolated from the world, but who would have expected that we secretly have good relations with the Principality of Xise, hahahaha."
"Have you finished reading? When you finish reading, put it away quickly so as not to be seen by others. I will not share these treasures with others."
The woman next to Adrian said in a weird voice, this person's name is Yasmin, she is Adrian's wife and the mother of the village.
It's just that he is usually acrimonious and mean. Not to mention rewards, even the wages of his servants are often deducted or even made up of clever excuses.
At this moment, she saw three gem necklaces hanging around her neck, and her two arms were covered with gold and silver jewelry. The brocade robe inlaid with magic crystals was wrapped in three layers outside, and an exquisite cane was actually used as a
A temporary device for sorting things.
If Adrian's ambition is relatively restrained, then Yasmine's greed is like a python that has been hungry for thousands of years, without any cover.
In the past twenty years, instead of rising due to frequent interactions with foreign races, the frozen continent has declined day by day, and its population has dropped off a cliff.
Even to this day, the only two cities in Changsuo rely on the "God's Stone" to retain their professionals. This is the tragedy of the Vikings, but no one dares to take the lead in resistance.
Adrian may be an incompetent king, but he is not an idiot. Over the years, he has only done one thing, and that is to firmly hold the principality's cavalry in his hands.
"While you have time for such nonsense, why not hurry up and open the basement? Our tundra continent is a barren land, so these treasures should never see the light of day."
"As for Ragnar, he is indeed a talented person, but he cannot be entrusted with important tasks. I have a feeling that he will never be loyal to me."
"It's a good thing for young people to be ambitious, but you must first look at the chips in your hands. It's just a guy who overestimates his capabilities. We can kill him at any time."
"But Ragnar can be considered a talent. Every time he goes to the ancient continent, he always brings me countless surprises. Since he doesn't have teeth now, let him go."
Adrian replied with great disdain while carrying the wooden box. In his opinion, Ragnar is just a young boy who is trying to shake a tree, and is far less smart than someone like him who is good at maneuvering.
"But I heard that our blessed knight Tanya has long been secretly committed to Ragnar. And Ragnar has been single for many years."
"We have to take precautions against this matter in advance, otherwise if Tanya, the Divine Blessing Knight, suddenly attacks one day, we will be doomed."
"The same goes for you. How come you can't even control a stupid woman? Has the urge to pursue me back then turned into shit?"
After Yasmin saw all the treasure boxes stuffed into the basement, she quickly locked the iron gate, and the two of them worked together to return the throne to its original position.
After doing all this, Yasmin looked at the new ring on her finger and asked very worriedly. But she had said these words countless times, but her husband always seemed to turn a deaf ear.
She is also not worried about that bullshit Ragnar, because even if he has ideas, he is just an ordinary person. As long as he is suppressed frequently, he will probably not be able to pull off any tricks.
But God's Blessing Knight Tanya is different. As a peak powerhouse, she will not be bound by the principality's dogma. At worst, if she is not happy in the tundra continent, at worst, she will just slap her butt and leave. Who can stop her?
What?
If we look at the bigger picture, once she chooses to support Ragnar as the main one, her husband's title of "Lord of the Frozen Earth" will probably have to be changed.
Although Yasmine is sarcastic, her mind is far superior to ordinary people. Therefore, she wants to say these words and always remind her husband.
"Then give her two dragon crystals. For her as a peak powerhouse, dragon crystals are far more effective than those empty promises."
"I will send Ragnar as an envoy to the ancient continent in two months, but this time I will leave Tanya, the Divine Blessing Knight, in the village so that I can explore her thoughts."
"If she persists in her own way, she will be expelled from the frozen continent even if many of the principality's cavalry die. If she is a smart person, I will naturally worship her well and regard her as a god."
Adrian thought for a while, then hit his cane and replied sullenly. As the leader of the Vikings, he cannot accept betrayal; as the lord of the frozen soil, he cannot accept being usurped by some cowards. p>
"Then you can have some snacks, but that Ragnar has been sent to a remote place by us now, so he doesn't have the ability to rebel."
Yasmine nodded, and then looked at the gemstone ring on her finger again. As for Adrian, he stroked the exquisite cane.
