The little girl spoke so firmly that it didn't sound like the words of an eleven-year-old child, but the way she looked at Thor made Thor understand that Bertha was definitely speaking from the bottom of her heart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"No, Bertha—I didn't" Thor somehow vetoed, he always felt that Bertha was trying to pretend to be a sensible child, but he really didn't want a child, or his own sister's child, to carry such a heavy burden.

"No, brother, Bertha wants to do this-!" Bertha listened to Thor's words, and became a little anxious, she shook Thor's arm, and begged like a coquettish.

"But Flange to you—"

"It's not as serious as you think—" Bertha hastened to explain to Thor, "though I was born and raised in Flange, I have very little memory of it. ”

Thor had heard Bertha talk about her childhood, but had never heard her elaborate on her feelings.

"Not long after I was born, my mother died, and after that I lived alone in the palace, only Grandpa Morey would come to see me from time to time, and the rest was only the evil eyes of the queen, which were the clearest in my mind. ”

She looked at Sol with sincere eyes and said: "Brother, my memory of that palace has been blurred, not to mention my father, who I have hardly met, to be honest, I don't know what his full name is until now, but I have heard his name as the Lazy King in other people's mouths." ”

Thor looked Bertha in the eye, and he knew the girl wasn't lying.

"Please, brother, let me do it, leave it to Bertha, Bertha will be able to do it—" She was eager to help Thor a favor, which was probably the greatest joy for her.

"Fran is just a symbol to me, I have always regarded Soth and the Desert as my home in my heart, you are my family!

Bertha finally spoke what was in her heart, and as she spoke, she could no longer control the tears that poured out of her cheeks, and the tears dripped down her cheeks on the cobblestone path, but fortunately there were no maids around, and there was nothing to be ashamed of only the two of them.

Bertha threw herself into Saul's arms, and Saul embraced his sister, whom he had already recognized in his heart, that Bertha would be his sister henceforth, and that even if the king of France, Frank Bardot, came, he could not take away him.

"Well, Bertha, I promise you—I'll do it for you. ”

"Really!?" Bertha poked her head out of Thor's arms in surprise.

"Of course it's true!" Thor smiled as he rubbed Bertha's curly blonde hair and said, "I promise you will become the Grand Duchess of South-France and the Duke of Châteauroux - and sooner or later, I will make you the new Queen of France, the first female king in history." ”

Thor looked at Bertha as if telling himself, he firmly believed that he could do this, and with Soth's strength, he could devour the flange sooner or later, and the only thing that could become an obstacle was the Papal States.

Bertha looked at Thor and nodded silently, she didn't care whether she became a duchess or a female king, but as long as Saul's brother liked it, then she would do it, so that both herself and her brother would be happy, that was the best thing.

At this moment, however, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the garden, followed by Thor's familiar voice outside the gazebo, behind a grove

"Your Majesty, the Truth Society has made a major discovery, and it is about energy crystals. ”

It was Gliston who spoke, and since he was one of the leaders of the Truth Society, Thor could still hear what he was talking to.

Hearing that it was about the energy crystal mine, Sol couldn't sit still all of a sudden, and he was not in the mood to escape the heat at this time, but suddenly entered the state of office.

"Bertha, do you want to go with me to have a look?" Looking at Bertha's expectant eyes, Thor couldn't bear to leave her like this and let her play by herself.

Finally, one day I accompanied Bertha, and I ran away halfway like this, and I didn't think like what an older brother should do.

"Uh-huh, Bertha is going—" The girl nodded hurriedly, as if she was afraid that Thor would leave her and run away.

"Alright, then let's hurry - Gliston, you lead the way. As he spoke, Thor pulled Bertha out of the pavilion, and after a few steps he saw Gliston standing there, who had been waiting for him for a long time.

The three of them didn't say much, and walked together to the mining site outside the city of Ujungpandang, Thor didn't ask Gliston what was going on, anyway, it was close, and he would know when he arrived.

After leaving the city and walking a little east, Thor came to the once abandoned iron mine, and thanks to his order, Paladin made the matter of the energy crystal mine a top priority, so this abandoned iron mine is now bustling with activity.

"Your Majesty—" As soon as Thor reached the edge of the mine, Paladin was greeted by Brunhill, Maxwell, and other members of the Truth Society.

And Brunhill's first words when he saw Saul were:

"Your Majesty - I've dug up the energy crystal mine!"

"What!" Thor had already guessed on the way back what would have brought him over at all lengths, and it was almost impossible to do anything other than find the Energy Crystal.

However, despite his mental preparation, Saul was still excited, he knew too well what this energy crystal mine meant to them, this was definitely a new energy source that could lead the technological revolution in the Soth Kingdom.

"Take me to see it—" After he finished speaking, he hurriedly let Paladin and the others take the lead, and walked into the mine, Bertha was very ignorant on the side, and did not understand what Thor was talking about, but followed Thor closely, and walked into the mine together.

A simple fence had been erected around the mine, guarded by Thor warriors every short distance, which was specially arranged by Thor and was important here, he was convinced that he would find the energy crystal, and now it seemed that this decision was not wrong.

Otherwise, it would have to take more time to find the Thos warriors to impose martial law, which would save a lot of trouble now.

As Paladin walked inside, there were now many pits in the abandoned iron mines, many dwarves with parchment drawings in their hands, discussing and directing something, and other dwarves or ordinary Sothians were working with baskets and pickaxes.

There is no doubt that these are either members of the Bureau of Works, or recruited miners.

Thor finally came to a huge pit, only to see that the pit was wide and deep and full of Thor warriors, no one was allowed to approach within ten meters, and Franklin was standing outside the circle, anxiously waiting for Thor to arrive.

At last he saw Thor, hurriedly stepped forward and said:

"Your Majesty - you're finally here, come and take a look! There's a big energy crystal mine down here!"
