In the Name of the Queen

Since Christine had come, she would definitely not turn back easily. Roland simply took the opportunity to invite her to go with him. Sif didn't care, but Angelina was unwilling to go.

She knew that Sophia had offended the Goddess of Light to death, and Christine was the most loyal believer of the Goddess of Light in the world, so how could she not worry.

There were also benefits to Christine's joining, at least the team didn't have to grope forward in the dark.

Although this act of lighting up in the dark was a bit ostentatious, Roland didn't object. What they had to do was to protect Sophia, whether it was to scare off or kill the enemy.

Christine summoned light, lit up the night, and shocked the enemy, which saved a lot of trouble.

The light that was lingering around everyone was not strong, but very clear, guiding the direction of progress.

Their footsteps stopped in front of the black tower for a while, and continued to move forward after checking it out.

The body of the black ape has now become Christine's trophy. The black tower has become a waste tower because no one is operating it. The only thing that can be confirmed is its function.

Create an absolutely dark sky to cover up the conspiracy under the darkness.

Light is the nemesis of darkness.

Although the dark sky can absorb ordinary light, it cannot block pure light.

With light, the speed of traveling is naturally much faster.

Christine led the way in front, followed by Sif, Roland and Angelina.

Roland saw Angelina's worried face from the corner of his eye, and he knew what she was thinking, so he walked a few steps behind her and walked side by side with her.

Direct persuasion would definitely be useless, so Roland decided to tell a story.

"Do you remember Andrews?"

"Of course, this idiot betrayed the trust of Her Majesty the Queen and has been locked up."

It would be better if he didn't mention this name, but Angelina would be furious when she mentioned it.

As an outstanding young official appointed by Sophia, he performed outstandingly in the Rodinia War and was particularly good at logistics support. Andrews should have had a very bright future.

However, this young man with a bright future fell in love with a foreign girl, and the pure rose he thought was a carnivorous plant.

This girl is a spy from the Kingdom of Tyrol.

It is not fair to send spies to an ally. In this era of low moral standards, everyone does this. It is not a big deal.

Andrews had a chance to stop the loss.

As long as he told Angelina the truth, even if he was not reused in the future, the Queen's favor would keep him safe.

However, he made mistakes again and again, leaking many secrets to the damned female spy.

Because the two countries are allies and lack key evidence, the matter can only be left unresolved.

Andrews was placed under house arrest and must take the initiative to confess the problem at the specified time and place.

Angelina wanted to slap the traitor to death, but because this was the general appointed by the Queen herself, she could only wait for Sofia to deal with him personally.

She sighed with disappointment and whispered, "Why did you mention him? Don't mention him when you see His Majesty later, so as not to upset His Majesty."

"I mean, how to deal with Andrews is beyond our jurisdiction."

Angelina was stunned for a few seconds and suddenly realized.

Roland went around in circles, still reminding her not to worry about Christine.

For minor blasphemy, Christine, as the pope, can discipline on behalf of the goddess and catch the blasphemer and burn him to death.

But she cannot handle serious blasphemy on her own.

For more serious blasphemy, the goddess may send down an oracle to ask the believers in the world to deal with it, or more likely to entrust the God Punishment Corps to deal with it on her behalf.

If it is an extremely bad blasphemy, the goddess will most likely do it herself.

Sophia's blasphemy level is undoubtedly the highest.

Coupled with the past grudges, it is almost certain that the goddess of light will take action personally.

Angelina breathed a sigh of relief, and the expression on her face was much more relaxed.

This time it was Roland's turn to be surprised.

"Aren't you worried about the goddess coming?"

"Don't worry, your majesty is invincible." Angelina said firmly.

Perhaps she felt that this argument was too arbitrary, so she quickly added: "I mean, with your help, Her Majesty the Queen is invincible."

Roland smiled and did not take up the topic.

Invincible?

Even for conceptual gods, there is no such concept as invincibility.

Invincibility is not an ability, but a state.

Any strong person is invincible before being defeated. What does this mean? Is Sophia, whose winter power is exhausted, still invincible at the same level?

Even if she can remain invincible at the same level, what if the enemy sends out a stronger person of a higher level?

This is not impossible. With the advent of the fourth return day, the strong people who once existed in this plane have also obtained the qualification to return.

They hide in the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, and hide in the endless darkness, waiting for an opportunity to move.

If Queen Sissi invites these people to launch a shameless sneak attack, Sophia will still be in danger.

If there is really no danger, Roland would be too lazy to run.

Are you running to see the polar night in the middle of winter?

After solving the trust problem, the four-member team continued to move forward.

However, they faced the same dilemma as hiding the enemy and could not find Sophia.

Although he did not see the enemy, his intuition told Roland that every time night falls, mysterious enemies will appear in the darkness.

The North Pole of Theia is not an ocean, but is made up of several huge islands and a series of smaller islands.

The glaciers are very extensive, connecting several major islands.

If nothing else happens, Sophia must be near the extreme cold point, but the area of ​​​​the Ark Island where the extreme cold point is located is equivalent to seven or eight provinces. It is too difficult to find someone who practices behind closed doors here.

The four-person team wandered around Ark Island for almost a week and found nothing.

Neither Sophia nor the enemy could be found.

The only good news is that the polar nights are getting shorter as time goes by.

Half a month had passed since entering the North Pole, and even the most determined Angelina felt a little confused.

She secretly leaves marks and tokens every day.

If Sophia sees it, she will naturally know that she is coming and will definitely find a way to contact her.

But no.

Sophia seemed to disappear from this world without any trace.

This kind of headless spinning is very frustrating and causes energy loss much faster than usual.

Finally, on a bitterly cold night, Christine objected impatiently.

"How long do we have to go around? If you still insist, please forgive me for not being able to accompany you."

It’s normal for Christine to have opinions.

If he hadn't been sure that something was wrong with Sophia, he wouldn't have wanted to come to the North Pole and suffer the cold.

Despite taking precautions against the cold, the extreme cold in the polar regions has exceeded expectations.

Half a month passed, and even replenishing food became difficult.

The dry food he carried with him was almost consumed. A few days ago, Roland had to hunt a walrus to make dried meat to satisfy his hunger.

The huge body of walruses is extremely rich in meat, but it is not included in the human menu, which shows how bad the quality of their meat is.

The only good news is that walrus meat is high in fat, which is great for keeping warm.

Christine's attitude was very bad, and Angelina was also a little annoyed.

I didn't invite you in the first place, you came on your own.

Who are you getting angry at?

She stood up immediately and said tit for tat: "If you can't stay any longer, just leave. I'm enough here."

"It was windy just now, so I didn't hear clearly. Are you issuing an eviction order?"

Kristine also stood up, with a stern face, looking like she would take action at any time.

Roland quickly winked at Sif and asked her to break up the fight.

As we all know, when girls quarrel, their best friends can persuade them, their enemies can persuade them, and passers-by can persuade them, but men who have a good relationship with them cannot.

To persuade is to add fuel to the fire.

As long as Roland opens his mouth, it is considered peaceful coexistence unless there is a fight on the spot.

Angelina's hard power is weaker than Christine, but this is the ice field, her home field, and coupled with the courage brought by her firm determination to protect Sophia, of course she dares to speak loudly.

Christine dared to attack Sophia, and was not afraid of just Angelina. She had already grasped the scepter tightly in her right hand, ready to take action at any time.

Without Roland's reminder, Sif had already started to break up the fight in her own way.

She looked at the two people confronting each other with a half-smile and clapped her hands.

"Go ahead, why don't you fight?"

Faced with this obviously yin and yang weird behavior, even if there is revenge for killing his father, he has to put it aside first.

Angelina and Christine cast angry glances at Sif at the same time, and then thought that the person who could make the decision for Sif was still pretending to be dead, and stared at Roland at the same time.

"Who do you support? Don't stand in the middle!"

The two of them spoke almost in unison.

Seeing that Sif had reduced the difficulty of submitting questions to giving points, Roland breathed a sigh of relief, took out the prepared walrus jerky, and threw it to the two of them at the same time.

"That's almost it. Let's eat something quickly and get ready for the night watch."

Roland knew that Christine needed an answer, so he stretched out a finger and said in a deep voice: "We will leave if we can't find anyone within a week."

Kristine bit her lip and reluctantly agreed.

Angelina frowned and reluctantly agreed.

For them, a week is not the best answer.

Christine thought it was too long, Angelina thought it was too fast.

That’s the beauty of compromise. If Roland had just stood up and raised this opinion with Xini, they would probably disagree.

Roland and Sif resolved a conflict just by exchanging glances.

Christine was originally on duty tonight, but in order to reassure Angelina, Roland volunteered to replace Angelina.

After a storm, the three girls entered their own small tents, wrapped themselves in sleeping bags and fell asleep.

Roland looked up at the stars, admiring the same starry sky with Alina who was thousands of miles away.

It's night, the starry sky is vast and as bright as a river.

Looking at the endless starry sky, Roland was a little lost in thought.

It is said that every star path corresponds to a huge star, but this star could not be found before ascending to the divine realm.

This is the mystery of the road to stardom.

Roland's research on astronomy was not deep. He just stared at the stars in a daze.

Just when he thought the night would pass quietly as usual, screams rang out.

It's Angelina!

Roland was stunned for a moment, and then fell into deep self-blame.

He was keeping vigil tonight, but someone sneaked in. It was like

Wait, where did the enemy come from?

He was always cautious in doing things and could not really sit under the stars in a daze.

He arranged many warning devices and warning magic.

If there is an intruder, he will definitely be discovered, unless he is more than one level stronger than Roland.

If you have this ability, why would you use a sneak attack? How easy it is to just rush in and hack them all to death.

The answer is obvious, there are no intruders, only moles.

A dazzling white light lit up, and the holy light was like a blade, stabbing Angelina hard.

Perhaps she was not destined to die. The shock of the intersection of light and winter allowed her to avoid the fatal blow and roll away in embarrassment.

Angelina had no time to angrily rebuke Christine for her shameless sneak attack, nor did she dare to think deeply about why Roland had no reaction, let alone why Sif did not see through the traitor.

Now she dared not trust anyone.

She bit her tongue, and blood sprayed on the azure bracelet. The ice wall appeared out of thin air, blocking Christine and Roland and Sif who were awakened in shock.

She didn't even dare to turn around and say a few harsh words.

She ran desperately.

She ran barefoot on the glacier, bleeding and blurred with tears.

Fear dominated Angelina.

Christine was crazy! Sif and Roland were conniving, and they were also accomplices.

The ice wall only blocked slightly. After breaking the ice wall that blocked the way, Christine immediately began to chase.

Sif was stunned. She didn't even have time to put on her shoes. She stepped on the ice barefoot. The cold ground made her feel more painful and slowed her down.

Christine planned to attack, so she was dressed neatly.

Roland was on guard, also wearing shoes.

Angelina fled in a panic, wearing only thick cotton underwear. Although she didn't faint on the spot, her barefoot running was greatly affected.

Sif was worried and confused, and she also chased after him barefoot.

Seeing Roland catch up, Sif growled anxiously: "Don't worry about me, stop her!"

Roland quickly caught up with her and walked side by side, but he didn't rush to chase her. Instead, he lowered his voice and said:

"Protect yourself."

"Christine is really crazy!" Sif couldn't help complaining.

"She's not crazy. This is the only way to break the situation."

Roland patted Sif's shoulder, gave her all kinds of blessings, brushed past her thin shoulders, and moved forward quickly.

Sif was slightly stunned, and finally understood Roland's voice-over.

Christine used this method to lure the enemy in the dark to show up, and at the same time forced Sophia to come out.

Cruel enough.

It was just pitiful that Angelina was hit hard by the scepter and was almost beaten to death on the spot.

The crazy pursuit began.

Angelina's scolding and roaring were particularly harsh in the quiet night.

The pursuit did not last too long, and the people who tried to persuade them finally came.

A familiar figure stood between Angelina and Christine.

Sophia came.

She did not speak, and her eyes did not fluctuate at all. She just looked at Christine calmly, and the Pope of Light did not dare to move forward half a step.

No matter how sufficient the evidence is to prove that Sophia's strength has been greatly damaged, it is all inference.

If Sophia's strength remains the same, no one can be her opponent.

Christine paused for a second, raised the scepter without hesitation, and the aria-like voice sounded.

"Blasphemer, pay the price!"

She took action, this time targeting Sophia.

Sif, who had just arrived, looked at Christine with fear and her throat was a little dry.

The ice barrier appeared out of thin air, freezing Christine in the middle.

Sophia grabbed Angelina and disappeared out of thin air.

Roland rushed over to check, and after confirming that Christine was fine, he grabbed the scepter and smashed the ice barrier fiercely.

The three looked at each other.

What surprised them was that Sophia still retained some of the power of winter, but not much.

Sophia's strength was indeed seriously weakened. If she was in her prime, it would not be difficult to freeze Christine to death on the spot.

Following the breath left by Sophia, the trio continued to move forward.

Being caught by Sophia, Angelina's hanging heart finally fell.

She was about to cry and complain to Sophia, but Sophia stopped.

"Now that you're here, how long do you plan to hide?"

As her cold voice sounded, seven black shadows emerged from the night.

Their bodies were like reflections in the water, seemingly real and illusory, and quickly condensed into shape.

The facial features of the seven black shadows looked no different from those of ordinary people, but their skin color was dark green, and they were obviously not human.

"Sophia, you have come to this day. Let me introduce myself. I am..."

"I'm not interested in the names of dead people." Sophia interrupted the black shadow leader.

There was no fluctuation on her face, as if she was announcing that she was about to kill a stink bug.

Her arrogance made the black shadow leader particularly angry.

"Sophia, do you think you are still the strong man who restored the power of the demigod and cut off the white mountain?"

"You can't even maintain the fifth rank now!"

"Let's go together, don't hold back!"

The black shadow leader's tactical thinking is very clear. A skinny dragon is bigger than a chicken. Sophia's invincible reputation and the feat of cutting the white mountain with a sword are facts.

Even if she is weaker, she must have a trump card.

Don't be too arrogant.

The shadow leader gave up the stupid strategy of giving away heads in turn to reduce Sophia's physical consumption, and planned to attack at the beginning.

Just as he was about to make a move, Roland and others arrived.

The shadow leader shouted loudly, "Roland, if you don't want to live under the tyranny of this stinky face for the rest of your life, you should stand on my side! This is the only chance!"

"If you"

"Haha, good!" Roland smiled and interrupted the shadow leader's muttering, raised the scepter high, and smashed it down like a mountain.

The shadow leader was well prepared and directly condensed the dark power in his palm to form a shield.

When he made a move, the other people rushed towards Sophia at the same time.

In a flash, the two sides were entangled.

Christine was surrounded by light, and passed over the shadow leader like a ball of light.

The shadow leader smiled slightly.

He was right. Christine really hated Sophia.

He had just observed that Christine really attacked Angelina.

If Angelina hadn't been lucky, she would have died.

Although she didn't die, she was seriously injured and basically withdrew from the battle.

When she passed by the shadow leader, Christine whispered, "Price?"

"You say!" The shadow leader responded quickly.

He couldn't help but want to laugh.

As long as there is a common enemy, light and darkness can coexist

Can it?

No, because Christine turned around the moment she passed him, and the scepter hit the back of his head silently.

"Bang!"

The light smashed his skull, black, white, and yellow, mixed together.

The shadow leader got the pass to the underworld without even a hum, and died on the spot.

With his fall, this chaotic battle was no longer suspenseful.

In just three minutes, five of the seven black shadows died and two escaped. This ambush that had been planned for a long time ended in such a ridiculous way.

Sophia's fingertips trembled slightly.

The previous battle consumed too much energy, and she was a little exhausted.

Compared with these, Queen Sissi's planning of the surprise attack made her extremely angry.

She didn't even talk to Roland, and walked directly to where Tyrol was.

Roland's voice came from behind.

"Cardinal Minister Roland, come to protect the emperor."

"No need, you just take good care of Angelina. It's just killing one person, there's no need to mobilize a large army."

Looking at Sophia who disappeared in an instant, Roland silently mourned for Queen Sissi.

Sophia is like this, she will take revenge for any grudge or even the slightest grievance.

If you anger her, you must be prepared to die.

Queen Sissi, are you ready? (End of this chapter)
