"Bridges, what amused you?Did you do something in front of the lord, and the lord reduced your punishment?" Klimt looked at Bridges curiously.

As a co-worker, Bridges is relatively close to Klimt, and Klimt can be regarded as knowing a little about Bridges's identity, a certain nobleman of the Ice Empire.

Bridges smiled and shook his head, although he couldn't let the lord let him go, but he got two artifacts, although there was still one artifact that he hadn't yet arrived, but this was also a sure thing.

When the time comes, as long as you show it a little, you can shock those who talk nonsense.

And now that he is doing coolies here, he can completely beautify it as a test for himself.

However, Bridges obviously didn't expect that the contract he signed by himself would be misinterpreted after it was sent to the Ice Empire.

"Your Majesty, that little lord is really bold, not only kidnapped His Royal Highness, but also dared to extort from my Ice Empire, not only extorting 300 million gold coins at a time, but also asking for a lot of magic materials. General Vansta held the letter of contract from afar, and he was already angry and scolding.

Nora, Maxis sat on her throne of ice, her beautiful eyes shining with a deep light, and she muttered that she hadn't spoken for a long time.

"There is Bridges' autograph in this letter, and it is also stated that this is the OEM fee charged by the other party for the manufacture of two Rank 12 artifacts for him, is it that Bridges is lying?"

"Your Majesty, this is simply the deed signed by the lord who coerced His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince is in his hands, I am afraid that he can only succumb to the threat of the other party, Your Majesty, just imagine, the greatest alchemist today, who can refine a tenth-level artifact, is enough to shock the world, and more than the tenth-level artifact, which one is not an ancient artifact, in thousands of years, how can there ever be a new tenth-level artifact? ”

"However, in the letter, Bridges explained that the lord was the alchemist who sold three magic props at the auction in Moro City some time ago, and as for the level of that alchemist, all the masters of our Ice Empire have studied and discussed, and it is indeed possible that he is one of the most brilliant alchemists in the world. ”

"However, Your Majesty, you have forgotten that the production time of an artifact can easily take several years, but the time when His Royal Highness Bridges was captured is only more than a month, is it possible for the other party to create a twelfth-level artifact in this short period of one month?"

"Then according to what you said, how should we deal with it?" Nora sighed, in fact, she couldn't tell the truth from the fake, but after all, Bridges was her only child and the only heir of the Ice Empire, so she naturally didn't want Bridges to have any mistakes.

If 300 million gold coins can be exchanged for the safety of Bridges, she would rather let her children be safe, and when Bridges returns safely, how the lord wants to deal with it at that time is not a matter of words.

However, General Vansta obviously did not think so, and General Vansta said solemnly: " Your Majesty, now we have no way out, even if we pay the ransom of 300 million gold coins, I am afraid that not only will not let His Highness Bridges return safely, but will make the other party feel the weakness of our Ice Empire, and increase the extortion of ransom, so not only can we not pay the ransom, but also give him a lesson, let him know that our Ice Empire is not easy to bully, and at that time, maybe he will wake up and release His Highness Bridges and return it to us. ”

"Solve it by force?" Nora's face showed hesitation, which was the most hesitant choice she had.

If the ransom is paid, then the other party's choice is to let it go or not, but if force is used, then his son is facing life and death.

Nora wanted to solve the problem in a more peaceful way, but Fansta's words were not unreasonable.

As Fansta said, the Ice Empire cannot endlessly pay huge ransoms for a prince.

Nora is not an indecisive person, she can firmly grasp the imperial power as a woman, and naturally she has her own uniqueness.

"There is another problem, whether it is the Ansa Kingdom or the Eastern Empire, the attitude towards that territory seems to be very **, the Eastern Empire directly rejected our request for assistance, and the Ansa Kingdom actually said ambiguously that this kind of thing is not their responsibility, let us deal with it ourselves. ”

Nora's attitude towards the Eastern Empire is understandable, and now that her two nieces have regained imperial power, it is reasonable that she can't let go of her past entanglements.

However, the Ansar Kingdom turned a blind eye to its own requests, and instead let itself deal with it.

This made Nora really incomprehensible, the Ice Empire's self-handling was nothing more than sending troops into the territory of the Ansa Kingdom.

It is obviously very stupid to let the troops of other countries enter the country, and in such a situation where they are not allies.

Once the foreign ** team enters the country, if there is any special idea, then it is likely to endanger the security of the country.

"Your Majesty, the Ansar Kingdom is now in a dispute with the Rus Kingdom over some territorial issues, and there have been many military frictions, so naturally they can't take care of us, as for the Eastern Empire...... Presumably, the two empresses of the Eastern Empire have just taken power, and there are still many matters in the country, so they don't have time to help us. ”

"Then you see, how should this king act now?"

"Your Majesty, our Ice Empire is too far away from the Ansa Kingdom, if a large army invades, we will have to pass through several countries along the way, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to move an inch, not to mention what troubles we will encounter in the Ansa Kingdom. ”

"Do you do what you want?"

"It's best to have a high-ranking mage come to the rescue. ”

"And who do you think would be a good fit?" Nora looked at Fansta.

Vansta lowered her head, not sure if she was thinking or hesitating.

The structure of the high-level magicians of the Ice Empire is different from that of other countries, and the Ice Empire has two twelve-level ** gods, one of which is the guardian god Ver Ann, and the other is Nora.

Nora was originally the princess of the Eastern Empire, and married into the Ice Empire when she was young, but at that time, the Ice Empire was invaded by foreign enemies, and when the national disaster was at hand, the emperor of the Ice Empire, that is, Nora's husband died in battle, Nora was ordered to be in danger, and was promoted several times in a row on the battlefield, and finally became a ** god, integrating the forces of the Ice Empire to fight to the death with the enemy, and finally driving the foreign enemy out of the Ice Empire.

Later, because of her heroic deeds and prestige, Nora was unanimously recognized by the subjects of the whole country, and because Briggis was still young at that time, Nora was named empress in person.

And all these years, Nora has been trying her best to cultivate Briggis, after all, her bloodline comes from the Eastern Empire.

And the Ice Empire has two ** gods, but there are not enough high-level magicians.

In the original battle to protect the country, the Ice Empire suffered heavy losses, all three Dharma Kings were killed, there were not many Holy Demon Masters left, and the magic army also lost ninety percent.

If it weren't for the fact that eighty percent of the territory of the Ice Empire was bitterly cold, and it was difficult for foreign countries to adapt, I am afraid that even Nora would not be able to return to the sky at that time.

Even today, it has not recovered, and the Ice Empire has been trying its best to protect and restore the reserves of magical power.

Therefore, the mages in the Ice Empire are more and more protected, and they will not use mages easily.

Many times, when some military operations require the use of magicians, it is the gods Willy Ann and Nora who act in person.

And because the border has been unstable recently, **Shenwei Ann has been guarding the border.

"Do you mean, let the king do it himself?" Nora looked at Fansta.

Vansta didn't answer, but he understood the point.

In the Ice Empire, the various functional departments have always been very meticulous, and whose affairs are handled.

Especially this kind of royal matter, which involves military operations, naturally needs to be handled by the royal family in person.

Of course, if it's a small matter and the scope is not so large, the army is also happy to help.

But now things are clear, if the army is used, it will not be solved by simple military action.

Not to mention the need to cross several countries, the cost of this operation alone is not something that can be supported by a few gold coins.

So Fansta, of course, is more inclined to let the royal family solve it themselves, or let the empress solve it herself.

And Nora herself is a ** god, there is almost nothing in this world that can threaten her existence, and it is safest to have her personally take action.

What's more, Bridges is still Nora's son, and the last thing in the world who wants Bridges to have an accident must be Nora.

"That's it......" Nora was also a little helpless, although she sat in the position of empress, but because she was half an outsider, the magnates of the Ice Empire had always had a lot of opinions about themselves, and they had not been able to centralize their rule.

Even a close subordinate like Fansta is prevaricating in some matters.

Of course, Nora's dedication over the years, no one shouted to get her down.

"Your Majesty, the last general has received a message. ”

"Oh, what's the news?"

"The Guardian of the Earth also has a few people gathered in the wasteland under the North Garman Mountains, it seems that the lord stabbed the hornet's nest this time, and as soon as he arrived in the wasteland, he provoked a lot of people, and the king of the Morgan family of the Eastern Empire also seems to be in the wasteland. ”

"That lord is really not ordinary bold, anyone dares to provoke...... Did he think that if he hid in the North Gaman Mountains, others would have nothing to do with him?"

"It's bold enough indeed, even the Guardian of the Earth dares to provoke. Vansta couldn't help but sigh.

Who are the Guardians of the Earth?

It's all a bunch of freaks! These people can't guess with normal thinking.

If they go crazy, even the Ice Empire will retreat.

This tight-knit organization has countless powerful people, who claim to be the guardians of the earthly world, maintain the peace of the world, and will not sit idly by if there is any person or thing that tries to endanger the safety of the earthly world.

And in every Abyss invasion, the Guardians of the Earth also play a vital role. (To be continued.) )
