Princess Sanya and her hand-picked group of reliable men trekked through the glaciers in the cold winds of the Northlands.

Severe cold and strong winds are only relatively simple enemies they face, dangerous monsters that roam the glacier from time to time are not a big problem for them who have the confidence to kill the ice dragon, and what really worries them is the glacier itself.

As we all know, a glacier is moving ice. Because of the flow, there are many hidden crevasses and underground caves inside, and it is not uncommon for people to walk on the seemingly solid ice, but suddenly their feet are empty, and they fall into bottomless cracks. What's even more terrifying is the strange cold wind that blows from inside the underground cavern from time to time.

No one knew where the wind came from, but no one wanted to meet it—it could easily penetrate its thick leather coat and sturdy armor, and freeze its flesh into cold ice chips. Once blown by it, unless there is a powerful cleric by the side, it will not even be too late to rescue.

The reason why Sanya and her party were moving slowly was because they were carefully probing their surroundings as they went, avoiding any possible underground caverns—no one knew if there would be a terrifying wind hidden in the seemingly empty underground caverns.

Luckily, the Strange Wind only appears less than a hundred miles away from the Ice Dragon. According to the last time the Ice Dragon was observed, it was quite far from there, and it was barely a safe area.

But Norton Spike didn't dare to be careless. His father taught him from an early age that no matter how cautious and careful a leader is, even the slightest carelessness cannot be overstated.

"A sailor can be careless, but the captain is not qualified to be careless, because you have no right to pay for your carelessness with someone else's life!"

This is one of the family mottos of the Spikes.

One of the most important reasons why Sonia asked Norton to be the vice captain of the Dragon Slayer Regiment was that he was cautious and careful.

Her family knows her own affairs, and she knows very well that she has never been a careful person - after all, she can't inherit even a little bit of "heart as fine as hair" from her parents, and "thick branches and leaves" are at least as many as a basket. Unless she wanted to slay dragons with a mighty army like some unproductive fellows, she was finally killed and abandoned her armor, leaving only a few remnants of the defeated army to flee back.

Therefore, she persuaded her three times and twice, and held her father for at least half a year, and finally succeeded in dragging the king's favorite general, one of the most important generals of the new generation of the South China Sea Kingdom, from the construction site of the magic ship "Black Pearl" under construction, and dragged Norton and a group of elite knights to this ice and snow to slay dragons.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, this dragon slaying really doesn't make much sense. While camping out for the night, Norton persuaded again, "The Ice Dragon Dorenokars can't offer any loot at all." ”

"But my father said it made sense to kill that guy. "He won't tell me what it means, but if it makes sense, it's worth doing it once." ”

"This kind of thing should be left to a strong person like His Majesty the King to do. I believe that as long as His Majesty comes out, even if he doesn't need any helpers, he can kill the dragon single-handedly. ”

"My father slays the dragon and I slay the dragon, it's completely different!"

“...... IMHO, I don't really see the difference. ”

Sanya's face flushed with anger, and her chest, which could barely see the curves, rose and fell violently, and finally stamped her foot and went back to her tent to sleep.

Norton watched her leave, shook his head, and smiled.

"Sure enough, it's still a child's temper! At such times, wouldn't it be nice to say, 'For the glory of the princess'!"

"She's not the kind of person who can say that kind of thing with confidence. Another voice suddenly sounded from inside the tent that didn't seem to be anyone's own, "She hasn't yet adapted to the power to kill many people with a single sentence." ”

"I think that's a good thing. Norton replied.

"But she has to adapt because it's her responsibility. The voice said.

"I don't understand. Norton hesitated for a moment and asked, "With you, even if Her Royal Highness the Princess is not used to this kind of power, it doesn't matter, right?"

The voice didn't answer.

"You are so powerful, and you have a group of companions who are as strong as you. You and your companions will neither grow old nor die...... Her Royal Highness the Princess will not wait for the day of succession, so even if she will never be able to adapt to this kind of power, I don't think it's a big deal. Maybe that would be more enjoyable for her. ”

He said it conservatively, but he already hinted at something.

What is the most terrible thing for the heir to the crown?

It's not that you're not ready when the crown falls on you, it's that you're ready, but the crown doesn't fall on you.

Among the bards, there is such a joke as "how can there be a prince in the world for sixty years", but for the immortal king, to be his heir, let alone sixty years, even if it is six hundred years or six thousand years, do not want to wait until the day of succession.

This is the case in the South Sea Kingdom, Princess Sanya will never succeed to the throne at all, so why should she learn and familiarize herself with power?

Even if you want to inherit the crown from your mother's side, it will be at least two or three hundred years later, so do you need to be in such a hurry?

As the commander of the Imperial Guard, Norton knew his Majesty's personality and style well. Although Her Royal Highness the princess's idea of slaying the dragon this time was her own idea, bringing the army to slay the dragon was because of the inducement of His Majesty the King.

According to the princess's own personality, she will probably form an adventurous team with a group of young people who are also full of fighting spirit and ideals to find trouble with the ice dragon.

Honestly, Norton thinks that the success rate is even higher!

It was a long time before the king answered the inquiries of his cronies.

"She's got to be ready, maybe ...... That day is not far off. ”

In the palace study of the Sea Dragon Kingdom, the king, who was handling official business under the light of the night pearl, touched his chin, which was harder than steel, and sighed softly.

He opened the system panel and looked at the time of "829 years of the continental calendar", and his eyes dimmed slightly.

"Originally, I thought it would be a long time, but it turned out that it was only half of it in the blink of an eye. ”

"A hundred years is far shorter than I imagined!"

He turned off the system panel, stood up, walked a few steps in the study, turned to look north, and his eyes seemed to travel through thousands of mountains and rivers, and saw his daughter who was curled up in the ice and snow and burrowed into her sleeping bag.

"Sanya, you have to grow up quickly, because ...... There's not as much time left for you to prepare as you think......"
