Ice and snow world

Waving goodbye to the old farmer, Elsa walked slowly along the small shops on the street, being careful not to get separated from Loki, the carriage passed through the stone road, and the crowded pedestrians backed away, pushing them towards a small flower shop .

"Well, where should we go next?" Loki stroked the grass displayed outside the flower shop, he never expected to be crowded with so many people.

"Ho.. there's a fountain, let's go" Elsa pulled Loki carefully to the fountain in the square and sat down. The two breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Elsa put her hands on her lap, thinking about the question Loki asked: "As you can see, the celebration has already begun. We know almost nothing about this place, how about... solve that task?"

What she said was that Hale took over the task of escorting the Chamber of Commerce to arrive. The members of the Chamber of Commerce have all died, but those crystals are still lying in Loki's space. Why not send the things to the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce here, and then give an explanation , may be able to get information about that [gem].

"Okey, but I think, you shouldn't be so stupid as to tell them where that thing is" Loki reminded her deliberately that he was always not optimistic about women's sensibility, just like she trusted him.

"Of course" Elsa raised her head confidently, and the movement of her turn caused the cloak to wave, which, I have to admit, made Loki feel that this move was indeed in line with her queen status.

The Bosnia Chamber of Commerce is located in the eastern part of the imperial capital, close to the Royal Castle Bridge, which shows the importance of this chamber of commerce.But such a chamber of commerce has a small group of people transporting so many crystals from a remote town, maybe just to send that [gem]?Then, the importance of that [gem] is worth pondering.

Approaching the lobby of the Chamber of Commerce, there are stone pillars inlaid with gemstones, a small fountain in the center, and emerald plants dotted the entire hall.There were quite a few people coming and going, some were in mercenary attire, some were in aristocratic attire, they were divided into two groups and walked towards the tables at both ends, talking in low voices.At a glance, you can see where and what kind of things should be dealt with. Elsa was a little surprised by the obvious hierarchical division of this country, and couldn't help but think of the contradictions that such division would bring, but stopped after seeing Loki's figure. Thought, business matters.

The two walked to the long table in the mercenary area, and lined up to listen to the whispered conversations of the mercenaries in front of them. Except for those who discussed the mission and those who boasted about how dangerous the mission was, a small number of people also looked at the noble area and whispered. Elsa didn't talk to Loki, she was thinking about how to tell the ending, until Loki reminded her in her ear: "Usually at this time, just tell them the result, they will need a detailed and complete story, and then give comfort Express your grief."

"You know?" Elsa marveled at Loki's omniscience at times.

"Of course" the affirmative answer, "Look at these people in front of you"

Elsa followed Loki's eyes and looked at the registered mercenaries at the front: "His movements are stiff and he is obviously injured, and his brows are furrowed to show that nothing good has happened, but his eyes don't show any pain. He can't please here. Look again at the gentleman who received him."

Without waiting for Elsa's response, Loki's speech continued again: "What an interesting little action, turning the pen, arranging the paper, and he brushed his forehead quite a few times while recording. It seems that the lost gentleman's impatient complaint made him He didn't like it very much. Oh, how impatient the twitchy eyes are, it's not a joy to sit around and face different people all day."

"It just means he's impatient?" Elsa took over, but followed Loki's train of thought to observe carefully the next moment, and found the answer, "No, it means that he will deal with the next one with the most perfunctory and false attitude." everyone who came down"

"If your situation is not so [special]" Loki added the loopholes in Elsa's words, the two looked at each other and understood each other's meaning, this was the first trial.

Without spending any more time waiting, Elsa and Loki faced formulaic smiles. Elsa nodded and said hello, and reported the name of the task, the tasker, and the mercenary group according to the request of the other party, and did not forget to add a sentence at the end : "The mission items were delivered, but there was an accident, and everyone died, except us."

"What?" Obviously the person on the opposite side did not expect this escort mission to be so dangerous. The goods were delivered, but the mission person in the chamber of commerce died.So not surprisingly, he welcomed Elsa and Loki to the reception room and asked them to wait for the person in charge to arrive.

Elsa sank her body into the soft sofa, lowered her head and thought about how to deal with it next, the sofa beside her was sunken, and a familiar breath approached. Loki wrapped his arms around Elsa's shoulders from behind, resting his chin on her shoulders, as if whispering between lovers: "Don't look at me like that, those who watch are looking forward to your expression the most. The next thing to do Give me"

After his reminder, Elsa calmed down, and also noticed the abnormal part of the surrounding breath, and was restrained by this posture and nodded a little cautiously.Hearing the sound of the door opening, both of them resumed their normal sitting postures. An old man with glasses entered the door. His gray hair looked very energetic in a straight suit.

The old man asked the servants to close the doors, and smiled at them with a cane: "My children, I heard about you, and I am very sorry. Would you mind telling me what happened? Oh, I am this family. The manager of the chamber of commerce, Hiram·Bosnia, nice to meet you"

Out of etiquette, Elsa and Loki stood up, took Mr. Bosnia's outstretched hand, and introduced themselves.After all three were seated, Loki once again showed his acting skills in front of Elsa, the difference was that this time, Elsa made a sad gesture as a participant.

"My dear sir, you can't imagine what we have gone through." Loki's moist eyes and sad expression make people feel sorry for him, and feel pity for his suffering, "We were attacked in the forest, then It’s a monster that can’t be seen at all. We lost that gentleman. Fortunately, his daughter has a tough heart, so we packed up the goods and started on the road again. But no one predicted the shipwreck.”

The man who deceived the gods carried out his deceit and concealment in somewhat confusing language: "The huge sea beast made everyone panic. We won the victory, but lost our way. A terrible disease spread on the ship, and many Everyone died, my wife and I were very scared, so after the death of the regiment leader..."

At the end, Loki's eyes flickered slightly, he held his hands hesitantly, and Elsa covered his hands in good time, as if giving him strength. Loki said in a half-depressed way: "Well, we escaped with the goods, you know, mercenaries are a little bit capable, and my wife happens to be a magician. So we came here, hoping to get A little reward, I've had enough of this."

Stupid, flustered, and timid mercenary man, these are the qualities Loki displayed, very ordinary and not in line with his own temperament, but at this moment Elsa felt that she was almost blinded by her eyes and believed this man.

"Relax, my child, of course you will get what you deserve. Such a thing is too sad, and it is a lucky thing to be able to come back alive, not to mention that you brought back the goods, of course we want to thank you" The old man's proper tolerance made Loki's eyes reveal eagerness, but the old man's wisdom would not allow them to achieve their goal so easily, "But I think I need some help, after all, our loss is not small, after that, someone will give the reward to you."

Loki showed a hesitant expression, looking very hesitant, as if he didn't quite believe Mr. Bosnia's words.Without waiting for the old gentleman to ask questions, Elsa hurriedly added: "Don't get me wrong, we just haven't found a place to stay yet, you know, we're a little impatient." Loki's fingers stopped moving under Elsa's palm.

"So it's like this. Maybe you won't refuse a little help? My manor welcomes you." The old man blinked mischievously behind his glasses, which made people feel good.

Elsa's sincere smile and gratitude entered the old man's eyes: "Oh, is it really okay, I mean, if it won't bother you"

"Of course not" Mr. Bosnia, "I welcome you on behalf of our family"

The old man maintained a friendly attitude towards the two young men, and asked the servant to lead them into a carriage and send them to the manor.

Lifting up the curtains of the noble carriage, Elsa looked at the groom and attendants outside the carriage from an angle, and asked Loki who was completely different from before: "How do you feel?"

"Very good." Loki obviously didn't intend to answer Elsa directly, and deliberately misinterpreted the question, "The acting is good."

Elsa raised her eyebrows and stared at him, but finally turned her head away and responded in a low voice: "Salute to the god of mischief"

With Loki's low laugh, the carriage swayed slightly and walked into the forest path.
