The giant gate of the village slowly opened. Adrian, the Lord of the Permafrost, and his wife Yasmin were smiling and waving their arms. All the ministers behind them bowed and saluted, but no one dared to complain about this.
.
A strong horse rushed into the distance and disappeared into the horizon not long after. Adrian's expression turned cold as the other figure disappeared, and the mistress Yasmine on the side returned to her usual acrimony. The gate of the village made a sharp creaking sound, and finally left a five-meter gap for the caravan to enter and exit. Although the ministers uttered compliments, most of them fixed their eyes on Adrian.
On the exquisite walking stick.
Two days later, the horse slowly walked into the small mountain village. It was almost late at night, the cold wind was playing with her Viking dress, and the snowflakes were dotted with the snow bear skin cloak behind her.
Onomamus, who was keeping watch at night, bowed and saluted, but did not make any sound. The woman smiled and nodded, and then walked into her small courtyard.
The long sword at her waist was placed on the wooden table, and the round shield behind her was placed aside. After the woman took a drink of water, she sat motionless by the window.
This person's name is Tanya. When she was young, her parents were sentenced to death row, so she was also exiled to the frozen continent. Over time, her parents returned to the Hall of Valor, and she became a maid of a small noble.<
/p>
But Lady Luck seemed to take special pity on Tanya. The hostess treated her as her own child, and instead of being mean or difficult, she taught her to read and write.
And Tanya has only one mission, which is to stay with her only son Ragnar, not only to act as his playmate, but also to have a baby kiss.
As time goes by, the originally ignorant little girl has become a graceful girl. She has a beautiful face, a gentle nature, and a consistent obedience to her words.
But the great changes began at that time. Ragnar's mother died of a serious illness, and his father fell into endless sorrow and had no intention of taking care of family affairs.
The family, which was originally a small noble, ended up having to rely on its only son to marry a wife to continue the family. That day, Ragnar smiled bitterly and nodded in agreement, while Tanya, who was eavesdropping outside the door, shed tears.
But as Ragnar's personal maid, Tanya naturally has to stay with him, even if he marries a wife and has children, no matter how she doesn't want to.
But the sadness did not stop. Half a year later, his wife fell ill and died, and Ragnar was regarded as a disaster by the other family and was kicked out of the house.
The old father died of anger, and only Glaber and Oceanus were left among the servants. Tanya always stayed by Ragnar's side silently, without any comfort or intention to leave. That night she got the first fighting spirit book, which was supposed to be sold for food, but she kept it by some strange coincidence.
The Tundra Continent is not as advanced as other principalities. Let alone the Holy Cross Union, there is no place to test professionals.
If a person can inspire fighting spirit or magic power on his own, he can become a professional. Otherwise, he can only settle down and be an ordinary person.
Although miracles are always reserved for those who are prepared, most of the time, miracles can only happen to some lucky people.
The morning light of the next day lit up the noble courtyard, and Tanya actually broke through the bottleneck of being a servant in just one night, transforming into a trainee knight.
The expressions of Graebo and Oceanus changed dramatically, and they thought to themselves: This little girl is actually a fighting spirit genius. If the old family master could have discovered it earlier, he would not be in such a state now.
However, Ragnar's expression remained as usual. He was neither excited about "finding a treasure" nor did he change his attitude towards Tanya because of it.
"Tanya, since you have become a professional, please leave. I can no longer protect you. This money is enough to pay for the fees at the Principality College."
"By the way, this shield was left to me by my father, but I am not a professional. The round shield was my deceased wife's dowry, so I will give it to you as well."
Ragnar took out three things from the storage bag, one of which was a long sword, the second was a round shield, and the third was a small bag of gold coins.
However, Ragnar's response was Tanya's tears. She suddenly cut her palm, and blood seeped out instantly, eventually covering her pretty face.
It was a crooked ice butterfly, painted with blood, and looked extremely terrifying. It was the emblem of the Ragnar family, and it was also the most sacred oath.
"Tanya is willing to be loyal to Lord Ragnar for the rest of her life, until the Storm Mountains melt, until the ice sea boils, until the ice fields grow green grass, until I step into the Hall of Valor!"
"I swear by the ice butterfly, if Tanya breaks her oath in the future, she will be cast aside by the gods, despised by the world, and eventually die of blood drying up,"
From that day on, most of the belongings left by the Ragnar family were sold and exchanged for magic crystals. Tanya stayed in the small courtyard for ten years, and never stepped out of the courtyard during this period.
With this almost masochistic practice, Tanya finally broke through the remaining barrier and slowly opened her eyes. A suffocating pressure rose into the sky, and the frozen continent once again emerged after three hundred years.
Owned the Blessed Knight.
But in Ragnar's eyes, Tanya is just a poor person. She was exiled to the frozen continent since she was a child, her parents died, and she eventually became a slave.
Gently wiping away the tears on the other person's face, Ragnar still looked carefree, as if he had never changed. How could he not know Tanya's thoughts, but he would not accept this love, let alone
Delay the other party.
Because the lives of ordinary people pass by in a hurry, but the most powerful ones can live for hundreds of years. Since you can't give the other person a lifetime of happiness, it's better to just give up.
From that day on, Tanya's name in the frozen continent resounded throughout the world, but in the eyes of everyone, her character far outweighed her strength.
The braided female knight, the Wailer, the owner of the Dusk Sword (one-handed sword) and the Star Buckler. Although she is a peak powerhouse, she has no interest in fighting and always stays by Ragnar's side.
Creak! The door was slowly pushed open, Tanya straightened her Viking dress, and then knocked on Ragnar's door. A moment later, the two sat opposite each other in front of the fire, and the iron on the fire
In the pot, a frozen lake fish is being cooked.
"Next time, remember to come back during the day. Although the Divine Blessing Knight is powerful, he cannot go against the cold wind and white snow of the frozen continent."
As Ragnar spoke, he served the other party a bowl of fish soup. His relationship with Tanya was extremely close, and it had long surpassed that of master, servant, or even family member.
"I was asked to bring these letters. Tanya doesn't like Adrian, let alone that Yasmine. If you don't want to do it yourself, I can do it for you."
Tanya took the wooden bowl and immediately ate most of it without any scruples. Then she looked at Ragna calmly and spoke word by word.
The candlelight was swaying violently in the cold wind, and the two figures kept running around on the wall. Ragna stood outside the door, reaching out to catch the falling snow, his expression unchanged.
The letters that Tanya had been asked to bring had been turned into ashes. Although Tanya wanted to say something more, she finally chose to accompany him silently. But she never noticed that Ragnar's eyes were always looking in the direction of the village. p>
