"He cried like a little girl, crying and begging me for mercy."
"Five hundred, one thousand, he is shouting to give us gold."
"Hahaha……"
Serta followed up in a small boat early the next morning, and after telling everyone what he did in Davis' mansion, all the Norscans on the boat burst into laughter.
"It's very satisfying, but next time you do something like this, you need to get my consent first, do you understand?"
Rhodes pressed Celta's shoulder and said seriously.
Celta could clearly feel the pressure on his shoulders. He understood that he could not make his own decisions. Their leader was not the reckless and manic Norscan pirates of the past, but a rational castle lord who, under his banner,
We will not allow any unauthorized attacks to occur.
Under Rhode's expressionless and stern face, Celta nodded seriously.
"Understood."
he replied.
"What's going on with this ship?"
Rhodes asked again.
"A fishing boat, robbed."
Celta replied.
Seeing Rhode's expressionless face, he continued to explain - "If you don't like it, I can give it back."
"Forget it, let's use it first."
Rhodes turned around and replied. The colors on the horizon are getting thicker and thicker, and the sky in the north is still a little hazy after all...
…
Following the wind, they arrived at Blackhammer Castle two days later.
Dark clouds lingered over the castle like ghosts.
Outside the castle, the lord's long flag fluttered, indicating that the owner of the castle was back. Although no one understood why their lord was followed by a group of looters, but Rhodes was back, no one dared not open the door.
As soon as he entered the door, Rhodes felt something was wrong. There was no smile on the guard's face, no expression of joy, only seriousness. The castle was deserted, and the servants swept the floor and curtsied to Rhodes in a ceremonial manner.
"Muros, Virgil!"
Getting off the horse, Rhodes shouted the names of his butler and knight.
Soon, Muros ran down from the attic. He was old and hobbled, but he still ran downstairs as quickly as possible to greet Rod.
"My friend, I'm back."
Rhodes had a smile on his face and was ready to hug his butler with sincere emotions.
"Half a month, a full half month's journey. Although the cities in the empire are warm, they are too crowded and the environment is too dirty. It is better to go to the north. There are fresh air, clean stables, my loyal butler and
Soldiers."
Rhodes said and gave Muros a standard bear hug.
However, there was a trace of sadness on the old butler's face, and Rhodes could feel it. From the moment he walked in until now, something was wrong with the atmosphere.
"Muros, what's wrong?"
He took off his gloves and frowned.
The Norscans behind them, led by the castle soldiers, entered the castle to rest.
"My lord, Dennis...Dennis..."
Muros had pain written on his face, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.
"What happened to Dennis?"
Rhodes asked nervously.
"Dennis was taken away by the Snow Queen's people..."
After Muros finished speaking, Rhodes's mind was filled with confusion, as if five thunders struck his head. The thing he least expected to happen happened after all.
"How could this happen? How could it happen? Dennis, aren't you and I the only ones who know about Dennis? How could someone find out? Who took her away!"
Rhodes was a little incoherent. If there is anyone who has the deepest affection for him after time travel, it is undoubtedly his cute and well-behaved daughter. As if he was a lover in his previous life, Rhodes has had a special affection for Dennis from the beginning. This kind of fusion of feelings
The memory of the two lives is as if she has lived with him for eight years, as if she has already been his family. Yes, she is indeed his family, and he is her father. Before time travel, Rhodes was about to
Being a father, this feeling is very bad, as if one's own flesh and blood have been taken away from his arms twice. Although Dennis may not be gone forever, Kislev Magic Academy, the home of the Snow Queen
, where it is full of callousness and cruelty.
"The Queen... the Queen's people. The Frost Witch discovered her. Dennis's frost energy is too powerful. Even if no one tells the witch where she is, the witch can still find her... Sir, we tried our best... The guard is not Frost
The witch's opponent...you know, we can't resist her..."
Muros said, almost kneeling down. There were tears in his eyes, and his eyes were full of unwillingness.
The spring breeze in the north was blowing, but it was still cold. Rhodes still couldn't relax. He could know and imagine the process. The menacing Frost Witch noticed something strange a few kilometers away, riding a horse, covered in dust.
He rushed to Black Hammer Castle and followed the direction of the frost magic to find the lonely witch seedling.
"She finally found Dennis. Your daughter was eating cake at that time and thought someone was bringing her a gift..."
The old housekeeper said sadly.
Rhodes stood there, unable to calm down for a long time.
"What else did she say? The Frost Witch."
Rhodes' lips interfered a bit, and he forgot to purse his lips. This matter is definitely not over like this. The Ice and Snow Queen will never let go of any noble or commoner who doesn't report the information. What Rhodes knows, the real trouble is yet to come.
.
"She said that the Snow Queen would never tolerate such a thing. She said... you must go to Kislev in person and give the Queen an explanation..."
As the old housekeeper spoke, his words were full of desolation. The crows circling above his head indicated that this would be an ominous journey.
"Sir, Queen Catalina must be full of anger, you can't go..."
Chief Knight Virgil came over and whispered. Rhodes did not doubt his loyalty. Virgil was more loyal to himself than to the Queen. He had been loyal to the Lord of Blackhammer Castle since his grandfather's generation. Lord
The lord is either my lord or a true reflection of Virgil. Rhodes does not doubt his loyalty, but he must go to Kislev.
"No, I have to go. Brother, I know you are worried about me, but if I don't go, the Snow Queen will let more people come, and maybe she will accuse me of treason. So, I can only
Go."
Rhodes said that the weather in early spring was not very warm yet, and the heat in his body turned into white mist and spit it out from Rhodes' mouth. He was ready to travel far again...
