Wen Na glanced back at the snow-covered castle on the top of the mountain, sighed softly, and stepped into the carriage with the help of the servants, her delicate face seemed to have lost its luster, and in the eyes of the man, she was afraid that she would return empty-handed again.

"My dear, you don't have to blame yourself, the lord of Katcher is a lowly Brent bastard! If it doesn't work, let's hide in the mountains and forests of Katcher......" Peter Lines had the heart to comfort his wife, but the last sentence obviously revealed the fragility of his heart, to be honest, he was not an ambitious heir, otherwise he would have been stripped of his fief and kicked to a poor country like the Northern Kingdom, and the dangers along the way reminded him all the time, or you would have to go to hell soon!
"Forget it, maybe there's a way, let's go back to the hotel first, I want to take a break." โ
With her hands on her forehead, she gave a command to the coachman, and the crisp sound of a horsewhip breaking through the air was heard outside, and the scene outside the window slowly receded, and the sound of horses' hooves beat a crisp drum on the stone-paved pavement.
Peter never imagined that a month ago, he had successfully defeated several brothers who inherited the family's earl title and fief, and was ready to do a big job in high spirits, but he didn't expect that everything would be ruined because of a small dispute, it was all Kate's ghost, everything was done by this little ghost who was full of resentment towards himself, if he hadn't instigated himself to force that woman, then the current miserable situation would not have happened at all!
"It's that nasty little imp, and I knew he wasn't at ease! I should have killed him if I knew I could!" Peter whispered viciously.
Winna removed her hand and turned her head to look at Peter, her husband, the pervert who was notorious throughout the Bernard Territory, and her heart was full of bitterness. This guy is a little decent except for the bed, basically no different from a wasted person, how can more than 20 years of aristocratic education come out of such a piece of garbage, and let himself be put on the stall! I have to say that this is also the sadness of being a nobleman, if it weren't for his own family, maybe the previous earl would not have passed on the throne to Peter, he actually dared to insult an imperial princess in the street, it was really mad!
"Peter, can you face up to your mistakes and don't blame others for the problem, yes, we are indeed in exile now, but at least we are alive, aren't you?We still have a huge fortune and a group of loyal servants, as a nobleman, have you forgotten who you are!" Wenna roared in a low voice with red eyes, like a wounded female leopard: "As long as we get through this dangerous period, regroup, and make some achievements in the Northern Kingdom, then we will impress others!" to have the confidence to return to the place where we were expelled!"
These words sounded harsh to Peter, like a man who had lost everything and was still being stamped in the face by those closest to him, and his clenched hands were white at the knuckles with too much force, but he could not find a word to contradict her. There was silence in the carriage, and neither of them was willing to speak any more until the carriage stopped at the wide marble square at the entrance of the Snow Resort.
Peter got out of the car first, and walked to the hotel without looking back. Wenna didn't keep him, she knew what kind of virtue her husband was, and his nerves were always on the verge of collapse due to the life-threatening journey, and for him, women and alcohol were the best life-savers at this time.
Wen Na sat in the carriage, tears sliding down like pearls, dripping on her flesh-colored thighs wrapped in silk stockings, she didn't know how long this deadly pressure would last, how painful it was to be a woman with the future of her entire family on her back.
"Mrs. Lines...... Mrs. Lines ...... What's wrong with you?!" said the servant whispering slightly through the window of the car, a little worried.
Wen Na took out a handkerchief and hurriedly wiped the tears from her face, tidied up her clothes, then opened the car door and walked down, facing the anxious servant, and lightly ordered: "It's nothing, I want to rest for a while, wait until the sun sets, and then let someone bring dinner." โ
Because of the higher latitude, the nights in Katcher are always very long, so the days are short, the Snow Resort is a high-class hotel built by Lord Isaac, as a person from a highly modern world, he is always not used to the way of this group of leopards in the Northland, the tavern is dirty and messy, the inn is surrounded by some ugly warblers and rude servants, which is the prosperity of the black market, it is like a slum, so after actually controlling the area, he set out to build this new city, known as the Snow City of the Pearl of the Northlandใ
As for the construction process, it was nothing short of an epic picture that almost alarmed the magical city of Wintercastle, far away from home. As a devil duke who has just stepped into the demigod realm, even if he is suppressed by the main plane to the point where he can only exert the strength of the legendary peak, his magic attainments are already at the demigod level after all, and the earth element and qi element summoned by the legendary spell are like Lei building blocks under his superb command skills, and a huge new city has been initially built in six days at an astonishing speed, with the mountaintop castle as the center, and cascading down like terraces. Five months of fine work followed, and the natives, under the command of the Dragonborn, methodically carved the fantastic city, and their fortunate reward was the qualification to settle in the city.
Anyone who comes to Snow City for the first time can't help but let out a sigh, it's a miraculous city!
When Dott first came to Xueman, he was stunned by the city in front of him, like everyone else, but after coming many times, he really understood that there was a thick darkness hidden under this fantastic city.
Dott is a slave trader who travels between the Northlands and Faeron, and in the huge Northland black market, he is a big merchant with a name, so he doesn't need to go out in person for a small business, but people who enjoy the civilian qualifications of the Principality of Katcher are a hidden honor in the Northlands, and today, the supreme leader who brought glory to himself actually summoned him, which had to make him excited.
In the warm snow-filled castle reception room, only the "crackling" sound of the burning of the oily pine wood in the fireplace, Dott looked at his toes with trepidation, and a bead of sweat the size of a bean rolled across his left cheek, but he did not dare to wipe it.
"Mr. Dort, I heard that you have an eye on the property of the Rainnes family?" Isaac wore only a loose white silk robe, and lay on the soft sofa with his eyes closed, Fran knelt beside him and pressed his shoulders with her tender hands, and her long waterfall hair could be seen to be strangely tangled, as if he was sweating profusely, and his excessively pale skin showed this alluring pink in some places.
"Collar ...... My lord, I didn't know the Lines had anything to do with you...... Isaac's words startled Dot, and he stammered a little as he spoke.
"Don't be nervous, I don't mean anything else. Isaac rolled over and sat up, holding the crimson Fran in his arms, feeling the slippery touch of her cold body.
It may be that it is a little unnatural for the girl to be intimate with her master in front of outsiders, so she makes some weird humming sounds, which makes Dott even more nervous, it is rumored that this little girl who looks like she is in her early thirteens has extremely terrifying abilities, although the Duke of Isaac is cruel and violent, but at least she can sit down and have a good conversation, but what this girl named Fran led the Dragonborn Legion to do is difficult for most people to accept.
She directly or indirectly slaughtered half of the mob in Kacher, and even chopped Kacher's only Juggernaut into pieces with her own hands, and invented a punishment that made even Imperial soldiers who had been torturers all their lives tremble.
Even the headquarters of the Northland Church sent a team of high-ranking paladins and priests to arrest this little girl who looked even more demonic than the demon to be judged, but the group of people did not return when they came to Kacher, but the church did not go back to the thunder, but sent more people over, as if this matter had just passed, and there was no intention of pursuing it at all.
Although there is an element of exaggeration in the legend, Dott knew that the high-ranking paladins and priests had indeed visited, because he had witnessed the group of tin cans and poker faces entering the castle, but they had never come out since.
"I know what you're thinking, shitty pig, if you dare to look up, I'll gouge out your eyes for you to eat. Fran licked her lips, her eyes like a viper staring at its prey, and although her tone was so flat, it made the slave trader feel a sweat running down his spine, as if he would be swallowed by some kind of monster in the next moment.
"You see, it all frightened him and made him naughty. Isaac touched the girl's head and told her to go back to the room first, and Fran gave a sweet smile and stepped on the expensive carpet on tiptoe like a Persian cat, and soon disappeared into the drawing-room.
"She's still a child, don't care, hehe. โ
Isaac's words relieved Kacher a little, and although he was still nervous, at least his life should not be a big problem for now.
"It shouldn't be a problem for you to keep an eye on the Lines family for me, and use your ability to get rid of the last gold coin in that guy's pocket, right?"
"Huh?" Dott was a little confused, it stands to reason that with the lord's ability, this broken Faren family should be able to take it in minutes, this is in Katcher's territory, the lord has the power to kill and kill, why do you have to do this kind of dirty work yourself, it's completely unnecessary, but he wasn't stupid enough to ask the reason, so he could only nod and agree: "Okay, Lord Duke, I understand." โ
"It's just one thing, there's another thing for you to do, I need a lot of girls, under ten years old, preferably human, elves or half-elves, don't want those weird monggrels, I'll buy them for two gold coins each, as many as you want, by the way, there is another requirement that must be met, it must be an orphan girl with a disability!"
"Yes, I see, cripple...... "If the previous requirements can be understood, after all, who among the nobles does not have a special hobby, no matter how disgusting things he has, he has seen them, but what does the lord want the disabled girl to do, those untouchables can't even enter the temple, and those who can live to the age of ten can be regarded as God's eyes, basically they are either starved to death or abandoned in the wild to fend for themselves, because they are considered to be outcasts of the gods, and even the gods have abandoned them, and the people are even more disgusted with them.
"Yes, disabled orphaned girl, if this matter is done, your children will have the right to enter the Snow Dragon Court. โ
