"He cried like a little girl, crying and begging me for mercy. ”

"Five hundred, one thousand, he cried out to give us gold. ”

"Hahaha......"

Celta followed in a small boat the next morning, and after telling everyone what they had done at Davis's mansion, the Norscans on board burst into laughter.

"It's very relieving, but next time this kind of thing will be done with my consent first, understand?"

Rod pressed Celta's shoulders and said seriously.

Celta could clearly feel the pressure on his shoulders, and he understood that he couldn't assert himself. Their leader is not the reckless and manic Norscan pirates of the past, but a sane castle lord who will not allow anything to happen under his banner.

Under Rod's expressionless and grim face, Celta nodded seriously.

"Understood. ”

He replied.

"What's going on with this ship?"

Rod asked again.

"A fishing boat, hijacked. ”

Celta replied.

Seeing Rod's expressionless face, he continued to explain—"If you don't like it, I can return it." ”

"Forget it, let's use it first. ”

Rhodes replied, turning around. The colors on the horizon are getting thicker and thicker, and the sky in the north is still a little hazy after all......

......

Two days later, they arrived at Blackhammer Castle.

Dark clouds lingered over the castle like ghosts.

Outside the castle, the lord's long flag flutters, heralding the return of the castle's owner. Although no one understood why their lord was followed by a group of marauders, Rhodes had returned, and no one dared not open the door.

As soon as he entered the door, Rhodes sensed that something was wrong. There was no smile on the guard's face, no expression of joy, only seriousness. The castle was deserted, and the servants swept the floor and curtsied to Rhodes.

"Muros, Virgil!"

Dismounting from his horse, Rhodes shouted the names of his stewards and knights.

Soon, Muros ran down from the attic, he was old and faltered, but he ran downstairs as fast as he could, to meet Rod.

"My friend, I'm back. ”

With a smile on his face, Rhodes was ready to hug his butler with sincere emotion.

"Half a month, half a month's journey, the cities of the empire are warm, but too crowded, the environment is too dirty, it is better to be in the north, there is fresh air, and clean stables, and my loyal stewards and soldiers. ”

Rod said, giving Muros a standard bear hug.

However, there was a trace of sadness on the old butler's face, and Rod felt that the atmosphere had been wrong since he entered the door.

"Muros, what's wrong?"

He asked with a frown.

The Norscans behind him were led by the castle soldiers and entered the castle to rest.

"My lord, Dennis...... Dennis ......"

Pain was written on Muros's face, and an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.

"What happened to Dennis?"

Rod asked nervously.

"Dennis was taken away by the Ice Queen's men......"

After Muros finished speaking, Rod's brain was clouded, like five thunderbolts. The last thing you want to happen happens.

"How can this be? Dennis, aren't you the only ones who know about Dennis? How can anyone find out? Who took her!"

Rod was a little incoherent, if there was anyone who made him feel the most after the crossing, it was undoubtedly his well-behaved and lovely daughter. As if he was a lover in a previous life, Rod had a special affection for Dennis from the beginning. This affection blended with the memories of two lives, as if she had lived with her for eight years, as if she had long been her own family. Yes, she is indeed her own family, and she is her father. Before the crossing, Rhodes was about to become a father, and this feeling was very bad, as if his flesh and blood had been taken from his arms twice. Although Dennis is not necessarily gone forever, the Kislev School of Magic, the lair of the Ice Queen, is full of ruthlessness and cruelty.

"Queen...... The Queen's Man. The Frost Witch found her, and Dennis's frost energy was so powerful that even if no one told the witch where she was, the witch could still find her...... My lord, we did our best...... The Guardian is no match for the Frost Witch...... You know, we can't resist her......"

Muros said, almost on his knees. There were tears in his eyes, and his eyes were full of unwillingness.

The spring breeze blows in the north, but it is still cold. Rhodes still couldn't slow down, he could know, he could imagine the process. The fierce Frost Witch noticed something unusual a few kilometers away, rode a horse, and rushed to the Black Hammer Castle, and followed the direction of the frost magic to find the lone witch seedling.

"She eventually found out about Dennis, your daughter was eating cake and thought someone was bringing her a present......"

The old butler said sadly.

Rhodes stood in place, unable to calm down for a long time.

"What else did she say? ”

Rod's lips interfered a little, and he forgot to purse his lips. This matter is by no means over, and the Ice Queen will never spare any nobles or commoners who do not know about it. As Rhodes knew, the real trouble was yet to come.

She said the Ice Queen would never tolerate such a thing, she said...... You must go to Kislev in person and give the Queen an account ......"

The old butler spoke, and his words were desolate. The crows hovering overhead indicate that this will be an ominous journey.

"My lord, Queen Caterina must be full of anger, you can't go ......"

Virgil, the chief knight, walked over and whispered. Rhodes did not doubt his loyalty, and Virgil was more loyal to himself than to the Queen. He has been serving the Lord of Blackhammer since his grandfather's generation. The lord of the lord is either my lord or a true portrayal of Virgil. Rhodes didn't doubt his loyalty, but he had to go on Kislev's trip.

"No, I have to go. Brother, I know you're worried about me, but if I don't go, the Snow Queen will let more people come, and maybe I'll be charged with treason. So, I had to go. ”

Rhodes said. The weather in early spring was not very warm, and the heat in his body turned into a white mist and spit out of Rod's mouth. He was ready to travel again......
