Two thousand lives and one million pounds of food.
It sounds like there is a huge disparity in value between the two.
Sophia sneered: "Viscount Victor, do you want to reason with me?"
Reggie nodded and said, "Can't we reason with each other?"
"If all the principles in the world can be explained, does this world still need war?"
"This is exactly what I expected!" Reggie said with a smile, "Wouldn't a world without war be wonderful?"
"Okay, since you want to hear it so much, I'll tell you," Sophia said, "Have you ever been to the tundra?"
"Tundra?" Reggie thought for a moment and asked, "Are you referring to the extremely cold zone in the north?"
"Yes, there are only strong winds and blizzards. The land is covered with white snow all year round. Under the white snow is extremely hard ice. Nothing can grow except moss. Guess what do the people there live on?"
"I guess it's hunting, right?"
"Hunting? It depends on what kind of prey you like," Sophia smiled, "Do you like an eight thousand pound giant bull, a twenty thousand pound silver bear, or a fifty thousand pound megalodon.
"
"Uh..." To be honest, Reggie really wanted to see what these legendary beasts looked like, but now was not the time to discuss these things. He felt that Sophia had gone off topic, "I think they can find some
Smaller prey, such as..."
"For example, the snowshoe rabbit is very small, but it has more than thirty burrows. You can dig all the burrows and catch a rabbit. This rabbit is not even enough to make a pot of broth for the whole family.
.”
"Why are you telling me this?" Reggie looked at Sophia in confusion, "They live in the tundra, so they must have a way to survive."
"They have no way to survive. It's not suitable for survival at all," Sophia said. "The kingdom forces them to live there because there are always people who have to resist the invasion of the cold demon."
Freeze demon?
I seem to have seen it in many books. Like mountain monsters, sea monsters, and monsters, it is one of the most terrifying creatures in the world.
"Uh..." Reggie nodded and said, "It seems we still have a common language. I believe you and your king also realize the importance of population..."
"Of course we know how important the population of the tundra is, so we want them to survive," Sophia said. "In order to compete for a pound of food, people living in the tundra often sacrifice their lives. In the absence of food,
Sometimes, they will even eat their own wives and children. Tell me which is more precious, food or life?"
Reggie stared at Sophia for a long time, then suddenly shook his head and said, "You are lying, a pure fallacy. The people of Bayer Country live on the land of Bayer Country, and it is unfair to let your people live."
The responsibility of our country has nothing to do with Suixue City. Now you have robbed tens of millions of pounds of food from Suixue City and forced Suixue City into a desperate situation. And you have blamed the incompetence of Bayer State on the country.
Is it fair to put this on Suixuecheng’s head?”
"Who are you calling incompetent?" Sophia stood up and said angrily, "Don't slander my kingdom!"
Erwin drew his sword, and Reggie told him not to be impulsive.
"Calm down, Your Highness Princess," Reggie said, "I am just stating the simplest truth. You have robbed tens of millions of pounds of food. I only want you to return one million pounds. Isn't this not tolerant enough?"
"
"This is your reason. You only care about Broken Snow City. I only care about Bayer Country. Bayer Country has raised brave warriors just to conquer and plunder, so that the people of Bayer Country can survive and have food.
It's a trophy that soldiers exchanged with their lives. I won't give the trophies to my enemies. This is my principle!"
Reggie sighed and said, "It seems we can no longer communicate with each other."
Sophia nodded and said: "Sorry, I disappoint you, kill me now."
"Will killing you end this war?"
"Of course not!" Sophia laughed loudly, "The warriors of Bayer will eventually conquer Shattered Snow City. Even if I fall into hell, I will still look at them and smile!"
"What an unreasonable bitch..." Reggie spoke his native language again. Sophia was startled and took a few steps back. "You used a spell on me?"
"Yes, I used the most vicious spell," Reggie nodded. "If you can't conceive my child within a month, you will never be able to have offspring!"
"You are so despicable!" Sophia actually believed it.
"This is not mean, this is the only way to solve the problem," Reggie said with a ferocious smile, "If we become a family, the conflicts between us will be easily solved."
"Shameless villain!" Sophia rushed forward and fought with Reggie. Erwin spent a lot of effort to separate the two people. Reggie tidied up his scattered hair and rubbed the scratches.
He pointed at Sophia's nose and shouted: "Go away! Crazy bitch! Go back to your camp! You will regret your decision tonight!"
Sophia rubbed the ear scratched by Reggie and asked in surprise: "Are you still willing to let me go?"
"Get out of here! Before I change my mind! Get out of here!"
Sophia left, and Reggie scrubbed the wounds on his face in the mirror. The Prime Minister's whiplash plus Sophia's scratches made Reggie feel like his face was on fire.
"Maybe I should kill her." Reggie sighed.
"Maybe you have fallen in love with her, sir." Erwin smiled helplessly.
…
After returning to the camp, Sophia immediately put on her makeup. Seeing the injuries on her face, Salah asked with concern: "My queen, have you encountered an enemy?"
"Yes," Sophia said with a smile, "It's just a few soldiers. I killed them all. It's no big deal."
"Have you found the enemy's black fans?"
"No," Sophia shook her head and said, "I've looked everywhere, but that one, no, I haven't found it."
It's really strange. It has never been difficult for Sophia to lie, but why was she so flustered today?
Nehruv smiled and said: "I said, that is not some black powder, that is the wizard's witchcraft, Reginald is the Hades wizard."
When she talked about witchcraft, Sophia's heart tightened. Is it really impossible to have children in the future? Can she only be pregnant with Reginald's child?
This is simply ridiculous.
"Queen, my queen," Salah shouted several times before Sophia came back to her senses. "My queen, we found these powders from the enemy's weapons. They were wrapped in Yuhua City's tape.
Yes, although there are some differences between our black powder, I firmly believe that this is the black powder, the unique black powder of Shattered Snow City."
Sophia smelled the powder, and it was indeed a familiar smell.
"I trust your judgment," Sophia nodded, "I will go to Shattered Snow City again tomorrow night, and I will let Reginald be fried into a pulp by his own black powder!"
The next day, the exhausted Sophia slept until the afternoon. After waking up, she drew a map of Shattered Snow City and began to guess where Reggie had hidden the black powder.
It should be not far from the city wall, otherwise he would not have time to prepare for battle.
But except for the warehouse, there are no other buildings near the city wall. Could it be that he hid the black powder...under the watchtower?
The astute Sophia immediately thought of one thing. Snowflake City has a tradition of building basements. Whether it is a lord's castle or a civilian's residence, every house has a basement.
The watchtower is certainly no exception. The area around the watchtower is the most heavily guarded. Reggie must have hidden the black powder in the basement of the watchtower!
The excited Sophia couldn't wait for dark. This time she made more complete preparations, including lockpicking tools, fighting weapons and grease for ignition. She even brought a bottle of poison, which could kill Reggie.
, or poison yourself to death, anyway, you can't be captured alive by him again.
Sophia, who had brought her equipment and was about to set off, saw an unknown object floating in the night sky.
"What is that?" Salah looked up and asked, "Is it a dark cloud?"
It wasn't a dark cloud, it looked like a huge ball flying over the camp.
"Oh my God!" Nehruv opened his eyes wide, "Is this another witchcraft from the Hades?"
