My own motherland!
In the howling cold wind, Luo Jie'an, who was walking on the street, couldn't help but pull her hat to cover up her iconic silver hair. This hair color represents a special meaning in the Kingdom of Saxony, and the Kingdom of Saxony who was walking beside her The guards are carefully guarding the princess. You must know that in addition to the identity of the princess of the Kingdom of Saxony, Her Majesty Luo Jie'an now also has a more noble identity as the messenger of the ancient gods. Now the Kingdom of Saxony can get rid of the Og barbarians. There is no need for entanglement, and the blood donations of countless men are sprinkled on this cold northern land, all thanks to the blessing of the ancient gods.
“I didn’t expect that Bellica Town would change so much in just a few years.”
Luo Jie'an looked at the bustling streets with people coming and going. Compared to the last time she came to Belika Town, the changes here were so great that she almost didn't recognize it as the remote and deserted town it once was. The town of Belika has expanded at least five times compared to when we first came here with the survey team. The original dirt roads have also been expanded into standard roads paved with bluestone slabs for large carriages and trains to travel. On both sides of the road Most of the buildings are newly built, and there are many strange faces on the road where people come and go. They are obviously not from the town of Bellicaben, or even residents of the Kingdom of Saxony.
Relying on the various rare mutated medicinal materials and animals produced in the Mist Forest, especially the mutated crack-tooth wolf that can be used as a mage's familiar, Beilika Town has become the most desirable commodity trading station for merchants on the mainland. Although it is located in the far north, The Saxon Kingdom is a long way away, and the risk is extremely high because you may encounter bandits along the way. But as long as you can successfully return with the goods, these precious medicinal materials, leather, and animals can be sold for a sky-high price, and forever. It has a price but no market and no worries about sales.
Relying on the sales of these special products, the Kingdom of Saxony has also developed a golden trade route to make a lot of money. However, the poachers attracted by the huge profits have always been a big trouble, and it is almost endless. Even if The newly built prison in the town of Bellica was already filled with prisoners and nothing could be done to stop this situation.
In fact, for poachers, as long as they dig and hunt the various mutated medicinal materials and prey produced in the Mist Forest, they can make huge profits if they do not open for half a year, and if they do open for half a year, compared with the legal punishment of the Kingdom of Saxony, The harsh natural environment and mutated beasts are the biggest enemies. Sometimes, even if a team goes deep into the foggy forest, let alone acting alone, they may not be able to come back alive.
What's even more frightening is that many poachers have also spread rumors that there is a demon living in the misty forest. There are rumors that the demon is a tall armored knight who can fly in the air and wield a giant ax to kill all intruders. People, and there are rumors that the devil is a black shadow of a dwarf. The moment he saw it, his head was cut off by an invisible force┉┉
Luo Jie'an didn't stay long after looking at the situation in Belika Town. She nodded to the guards behind her, transformed, returned to Belika Fortress, and stepped into the portal to a certain territory.
The concept of the motherland has become a bit weak in Luo Jie'an's mind. Although this time after arriving at Belika Fortress, he still took some time to look at the development of Belika Town, and the prosperous scene was indeed It is enough for every resident who was born in Belika Town to feel gratified. Today, he still retains the title of princess by the royal family. However, when he sees the prosperous side of Belika Town, although he also feels a sense of pride in his heart, this feeling More aimed at the great White Dragon King rather than the royal family.
Hey~ I have really changed a lot!
Even though she discovered her changes, Luo Jie'an didn't feel anything was wrong. On the contrary, she preferred to stay in the Yanold Mountains, where she was free and did not need to learn complicated rules, regulations and etiquette, nor did she need to bear the burden of the name. The burden of being a princess, where I can devote myself wholeheartedly to the practice of martial arts that I love, and I also have a mentor with extraordinary strength.
With the help of the teleportation gate, Princess Luo Jie'an, who had crossed the entire forest of mist in less than half a day, came to a territory near the royal capital. The local lord, a direct descendant of the royal family, was once Luo Jie'an. The princess's uncle had already asked the mage to prepare a teleportation array that went directly to the capital. After paying a courtesy visit, Luo Jie'an stepped into the array and went directly to the palace of the capital.
"Welcome home, sister!"
When Luo Jie'an just walked out of the magic circle, the first thing she saw was her brother, Prince Rost. She was also very happy to see her sister, Prince Rost, who had not been home for almost two years. However, this time His Highness did not go as usual. Hug your sister, because the prince who was stared at by Luo Jie'an always felt as if he was being stared at by something terrible.
"It's been a long time, brother. How are you, father?" Luo Jie'an, who was completely unaware of her brother's strange behavior, still greeted him with a hint of relief at seeing his relatives.
Prince Rost, who was stiff for a moment, quickly recovered and said with a smile: "Father has been looking good during this period. This is thanks to the protection of the ancient god Yalin. Without the war with the Og barbarians and many trivial matters to deal with, my father has been doing well every day. I can rest a little longer.”
After a few words of greeting, Prince Rost personally led his sister to meet her father, and Luo Jie'an's former personal maid Alyssa followed closely and carefully held the princess's windbreaker that she had just taken off. The guards standing guard in the palace along the way couldn't help but straighten their bodies and try to make themselves look more upright, because when Luo Jie'an walked past them, she was wearing silver scales and combat boots and combing her long silver hair. , coupled with her dignified yet beautiful appearance, Luo Jie'an looks like the legendary Valkyrie, exuding a calm and self-powerful temperament.
In the already martial Saxon kingdom, such a temperament is more respected. In the minds of the Saxons, women cannot only be beautiful, but strength is also an element that a woman must possess. If she is only beautiful but not strong, then such a woman is only worthy of giving birth. They are just machines and playthings, because once they lose the protection of men, they cannot survive in this cruel extreme north, and the so-called beauty is like ashes scattered everywhere in the face of blizzards and severe cold.
For this reason, when they saw Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was regarded as a treasure by the royal family and was never seen easily, the guards seemed to be inspired by this momentum and wanted to show their best side.
The Kingdom of Saxony has blocked any news about Princess Luo Jie'an since it cooperated with Yalin. The outside world did not know that Her Royal Highness the Princess, who won the duel, had already left the kingdom for the distant Yanode Mountains, and this time Luo Jie'an The matter of quietly returning was also deliberately kept secret by the royal family. Although there were signs that the Holy City and the Holy See had vaguely noticed something, the Saxon royal family still decided to keep the matter of the ancient gods' cooperation secret when the two sides publicly tore the veil. It could delay some time. Just wait for some time, so that the Kingdom of Saxony can gain more leverage in future negotiations with the Holy City and the Holy See.
In the lounge, Luo Jie'an saw her father and the court mage Gretel and others. However, facing her father, Luo Jie'an's mood was still very calm. After a polite greeting, Luo Jie'an changed the topic to just now. Princess Celine Brannis of the Kalsemmen Empire, who had recently visited the Kingdom of Saxony, had a vague impression of this princess Luo Jie'an. She seemed to have seen her once at a banquet when she went to participate in a martial arts competition when she was a child, but she gave The only impression left on me was that of beauty and arrogance. At the banquet, Celine was always surrounded by many noble men and women, and everyone seemed to be close to this golden gem of the Kalsemmen Empire.
"I can't remember." Thinking of this, Luo Jie'an could only smile helplessly to express that she couldn't remember.
Gretel said: "It doesn't matter, Your Highness, it's not a formal banquet anyway. When the time comes, you and Princess Celine can just give each other a polite greeting."
"I understand." Luo Jie'an nodded.
A polite greeting is best!
Luo Jie'an breathed a sigh of relief. During this period of time in Uldu'er City, she had almost forgotten all the etiquette she usually learned. His Majesty the White Dragon King also said that paying attention to etiquette represents a person's basic rest, but paying too much attention to etiquette It is a pathological manifestation to belittle others' status in every move and use it as glory and advantage, and human beings sometimes like to formulate such cumbersome and useless things to shackle themselves.
The banquet was held the day after tomorrow, which gave Luo Jie'an some time to adjust. As for the old king Rodlan, he refused the suggestion that the etiquette instructor would give him some etiquette lessons. He remembered that at the banquet after the martial arts competition, It seems that she has been degraded into a barbaric girl who does not understand etiquette. Anyway, it is probably useless to sharpen the gun in front of the battle. It is better to just show the original etiquette of the Kingdom of Saxony to the other party.
The original etiquette of the Kingdom of Saxony┉┉
These words made the old King Rodland feel confused. Originally, the Saxons were discriminated against as northern barbarians in other countries on the mainland. After the efforts of the rulers of the Saxony Kingdom in the past generations, they finally slowly integrated into the countries in the eastern part of the continent and the number decreased. Discrimination, and now the representative of his daughter's royal family actually doesn't want to pay attention to those etiquette and directly shows the brave side of the Saxon people. If it were normal, he would definitely reprimand her, but now he can't say it.
The court mage Gretel smiled bitterly when she looked at the familiar but drastically changed character of the princess, and she didn't know what to say, while Prince Rost smiled and had no objection to his sister.
"I forgot to mention one thing. Regarding the banquet held for Princess Celine, the two envoys sent by the ancient gods to the royal capital will also attend."
"Are the two envoys Mr. Didier and Miss Miria?" Luo Jie'an looked at his brother and asked in surprise.
Prince Rost smiled and nodded.
