Honey, It’s Time To Take Your Medicine!
Chapter 431
It took about half an hour, and the palace of the Principality of Ice finally appeared in front of them.
The palace did not seem too luxurious. In comparison, the mansion of a viscount in the empire might be more gorgeous.
The palace where the brave lived was several times larger than the palace... There was no doubt that this palace was also submerged in the snow, but it was slightly more popular than other places.
Some magicians wearing thick white mink coats were struggling to support the shield and flying above the palace.
Each of these magicians had several storage rings in their hands, which should be full of firewood collected from other places to keep the residents in the royal city warm.
This was a considerable workload.
If it was in the empire, and a noble magician was asked to do this kind of thing, a fireball might blow on your face, but for the magicians of the Principality of Ice, there was no complaint at all.
A magician noticed the movement on the ground. After approaching a distance through the flying snow, he finally recognized Antalia's identity. A touch of ecstasy suddenly appeared on his face, and he hurried over: "Your Highness, you... when did you come back?"
There is no doubt that the Macefield family has a very good ruling power in the principality and is highly respected by the residents of the kingdom.
"It turned out to be Mr. Joyce." Antasia obviously recognized the identity of this magician and forced a smile on her face: "I just came back. You have worked hard during this period."
Joyce shook his head vigorously: "What is hard? Compared with ordinary residents, we have been much better."
"All of us court magicians always remember that we have the current power because of the cultivation of the royal family."
"It was the royal family that selected us from ordinary families and gave us the opportunity to learn magic. Now it's time for us to repay."
Joyce seemed to have been busy for a long time. The traces of fatigue could be clearly seen on his face. His eye sockets were deeply sunken, surrounded by a circle of dark circles, but he still did not stop the work at hand.
Both the Kingdom of Exeter and the Principality of Ice are more open-minded than the Empire. The Principality of Ice knows where it is and how bad its living conditions are.
The Macefield family, which holds the power of the Principality, has always had an ancestral motto. They will do everything they can to train their family members, but they will also select talented people from the civilians to learn magic and fighting spirit, and try to train more masters for the Principality of Ice.
It is precisely because of this method that the per capita number of magicians and fighters in the Principality of Ice far exceeds that of the Empire. Although the national strength is weak, it can still resist the crazy attacks of monsters from one direction.
After a simple greeting, Joyce looked at Qin Chu and others with some suspicion.
"These are all my friends, who came here to help." Antasia said simply: "Take me to see my parents."
Nodding, Joyce did not hesitate, and quickly took Antasia and her party into the palace and went directly to a side hall... His Majesty the King was working here.
In Joyce's opinion, the most tired and hard-working people who have been under the greatest pressure during this period are not the magicians and fighters below, but His Majesty the King.
Since the disaster, His Majesty the King has never closed his eyes for such a long time. There are too many things to deal with.
In the side hall, an old man with white hair and beard is working at his desk.
On the left, there is a tall girl with long ice-blue hair similar to Antasia and a similar face, but the long hair seems to have not been carefully combed for a long time and is a little messy.
The clothes on her body seem to have not been changed for a long time, and some places have been damaged and even unnoticed.
On both sides, there are a large number of civil servants who are clacking on the abacus... You read it right, it is the abacus, which is said to be invented by someone a thousand years ago and is very popular.
Qin Chu seriously suspects that this thing may also be a product left by a predecessor who travels through time.
The distribution of food, the distribution of firewood for heating, and the distribution of clothes all require detailed calculations.
For the managers of a country, they cannot rush to send food, clothes, and firewood when an emergency occurs... As the king of the principality, they need to be responsible for coordinating the allocation of materials in the entire kingdom and saving as many lives as possible.
Obviously, this is not an easy job.
Although it is very cold, there is only one stove in the side hall. The coke is burning into a scarlet color in the stove, and it makes a crackling sound from time to time, which can provide some temperature.
Seeing the haggard appearance of her parents, Antasia also felt distressed.
"Father... Mom..."
Seeing that her parents did not notice her existence at all, Antasia finally couldn't help it, and bit her lips gently and made a gentle voice.
The two people who were completely focused on their work trembled slightly, and the next moment they raised their heads almost at the same time. When they saw Antasia, it was clear that Antasia's mother's face turned pale in an instant: "Antasia, you...you...why did you come back, who asked you to come back?"
"Didn't I tell you, things here are not a big deal, your father and I can handle it."
The woman was not happy about her daughter's return, but instead fell into a panic.
The father next to him also had a mixture of sadness and joy on his face.
Anstasia is their only daughter, how could they not miss their daughter?
But... with the current situation in the Ice Principality, they would rather their daughter could stay in the empire and live a good life by the side of the brave, rather than be buried in the ice and snow with the Ice Principality.
Anstasia bit her lip with her teeth, her cheeks a little sad: "It doesn't matter? But what I saw is different from what you said..."
"The principality is almost buried in snow. Is this okay?"
Anstasia's parents were speechless for a moment, and some did not dare to face their daughter's eyes.
Looking at the haggard appearance of her parents, Anstasia also felt distressed. She sniffed hard and forced a smile on her face. She pulled Qin Chu next to her and pushed Qin Chu in front of her: "But, now I can really do it." Feel at ease.”
"The disaster in the Principality of Ice will be able to be overcome safely. By the way, let me introduce to you. This gentleman's name is Qin Chu, and he is a second-generation brave man in the Sky Continent."
Swish.
In an instant, Qin Chu could feel the eyes of countless people staring at him.
In the entire side hall, everyone was working, even Joyce, who brought Qin Chu and Anstasia to the side hall.
The second generation brave Qin Chu?
Although it is very remote, these people have heard about the second generation of braves. It is said that the second generation of braves are better than the first generation of braves. In a short period of time, their strength has been greatly improved, and they have killed the monster prince, the second prince and the third prince one after another. .
He even killed the eldest prince of the Orville Empire, eliminated a large number of masters of the Holy See, forced himself to take the position of Pope, and annexed the Earth Mother Cult.
Now on the Sky Continent, this second generation of brave men seems to be the one with the highest status and the most power.
Well, it's normal for rumors to change as they spread.
However, there is no doubt that the second-generation hero is extremely powerful.
If it were Qin Chu, the second-generation brave man, might he really be able to solve the disaster in the Ice Principality?
Originally there was only darkness in the eyes of these people, but now there is obviously more hope.
In the side hall, heavy breathing could be clearly heard.
Although these wolf-like and tiger-like looks made Qin Chu feel a little fussy, the look that made Qin Chu feel weirdest came from the other side.
Anstasia's mother.
That look only made Qin Chu's scalp numb.
That's exactly how the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, right?
Chapter 2, 4,000 words, is here.
Chapter 508 What kind of power is this?
(four thousand words)
The princess of the Ice Principality, Anstasia's mother, the way a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law... Qin Chu was obviously wearing thick clothes, but at this moment, he always felt that he had been completely seen through.
The tired ice blue eyes suddenly lit up at this moment.
She has a very gentle and gentle smile on her face. Although she is not young, she has taken good care of herself on weekdays. With that gentle smile, she also has a soft beauty, and a pair of beautiful big eyes that look like gems. Qin Chu looked up and down.
The two of them naturally knew about the treatment their daughter had received in the empire. The guards who were originally with Anstasia had already told them everything after they came back.
It was Qin Chu who suddenly appeared when Anstasia was assassinated and saved the princess of the Ice Principality.
It was Qin Chu who stood up for Anstasia when she was treated almost humiliatingly by the eldest prince.
It was also Qin Chu who took Anstasia in when she was homeless.
It was Qin Chu who even killed the eldest prince in a daze in the end, which could be regarded as giving them a bad breath.
There is no way, the Principality of Ice has a small number of people and a weak country. There are also attacks from monsters on one side, and it still needs material support from the empire.
Even if my precious daughter is bullied in a foreign country, she can only endure it and suffer. Even if she feels sad and uncomfortable in her heart, there is no way to fight against the empire. A man can stand up for Anstasia at such a time. To regain her dignity and not make her daughter feel too wronged.
This alone made these two people identify Qin Chu as their son-in-law.
If possible, they really want to meet Qin Chu in person, but there are too many things that need to be dealt with in the Ice Kingdom, and they have never been separated. Unexpectedly, their daughter will take her son-in-law home directly. .
As for Qin Chu, there are so many girls around him?
This is normal.
No one will feel strange or dissatisfied about this.
On the Sky Continent, the strong own everything, whether it is wealth, power, status or women.
Although the king of the Principality of Ice only has Anstasia's mother and one princess, in a place like the Empire, even a big noble has a large group of women, let alone a brave man?
The most important thing is that although the strength of these two people is not exaggerated, they can still see that the girls around Qin Chu are all super strong, and some of them have auras that far exceed theirs.
In the face of such powerful strength, the status of his own daughter as a princess is not a bonus. Rather, we should be grateful to these girls for accepting Anstasia to stay with the brave.
By the way, there are three monsters among them.
A blood elf, a snow girl, and one who seems to be a winged human among monsters... This brave man is really single-minded, he only likes beautiful ones...
While these two people were examining Qin Chu, Antia, who was next to Qin Chu, also frowned slightly.
Antia also felt inexplicably familiar with the man in front of her.
Although it was not as strong as Antasia's, it still made her feel a little weird.
Anstasia's mother kept staring at him, which made Qin Chu feel a little embarrassed... But after all, Qin Chu had experienced a lot. He quickly adjusted his mentality, showed a gentleman's smile on his face, and saluted to the two of them: " Qin Chu has met His Majesty the King and His Majesty the Princess."
How could Anstasia's father dare to accept Qin Chu's salute? He quickly returned the salute without daring to overstep in the slightest.
Although Qin Chu was nominally his son-in-law, he was a brave man and the pope of the Holy See. His status was much more noble than that of the king of his own small principality. Who knew that this brave man had lived in the empire for so long? Have you contracted any bad habits?
"Qin Chu, this is my father, the king of the Ice Principality, Oswide Mesfield, and this is my mother Heidi Mesfield." The looks from her parents also made Anstasia a little shy. After Qin Chu and his father greeted each other, he thought of introducing them.
Although he was very busy with the work at hand, after all, these were the most distinguished guests. Oswide Masefield did not dare to neglect at all. He temporarily put down the official duties at hand and quickly arranged for people to prepare to entertain these distinguished guests.
Although Qin Chu said that there was no need to go to such trouble, the proper etiquette must be observed.
Plus it's almost noon now, just in time for lunch.
The action here was very fast. Not long after Osvid's order was issued, a simple reception banquet was already prepared, and there was no time to arrange too many people to accompany them.
Around the round table, there were only Qin Chu and the eight girls beside him, plus Oswide and Heidi.
Anstasia also has three younger brothers, but they are all busy, and even if they receive the message magic, they will not be able to come back in time.
Because of the cold, three large stoves were specially prepared in the restaurant. The warm air was quite comfortable. This was definitely a very luxurious treat for the Principality of Ice.
Because Anstasia was his woman, Qin Chu was naturally a generation younger, so he took the initiative to toast. The drinks in the Ice Kingdom were also extremely spicy. Qin Chu felt that the concentration might not be as good as the water of life, but it was probably as good as medical ones. Alcohol isn't much different.
After drinking a glass of strong wine, Qin Chu felt a heat wave immediately in his lower abdomen, and it surged through his limbs and bones in the blink of an eye. Then the smell of alcohol hit him, and even with Qin Chu's strength, his face flushed for a moment. .
Putting down the wine glass, Qin Chu didn't delay too much and started asking serious questions: "Your Majesty the King, I heard Anstasia say something before, but Anstasia doesn't know much about it herself. Can you tell me this? What is the situation now, what happened?”
The expressions of Osvid and Heidi gradually turned gloomy. This was the disaster of the Ice Principality. It was in order to deal with this disaster that Osvid's hair turned white.
"About half a month ago."
"With the arrival of spring, the hunting teams here in the Principality of Ice are already gearing up and waiting for the weather to get warmer before starting the annual spring hunting."
"But before we could wait for the cold to dissipate, the cold hit us overnight."
"The entire royal city was filled with ice and snow, and the blizzard flooded the city almost instantly."
"This wave of disaster came so suddenly. There was no preparation at all in the royal city, and thousands of people froze to death overnight." Osvid clenched his fingers.
His voice was filled with hatred, hatred for himself.
As a king, he failed to protect his citizens. Although the residents of the kingdom knew that this was due to the sudden change in weather and did not blame him, Osvid still felt uncomfortable. This was a shame for him as a king.
"After that, the blizzard continued without any intention of stopping. The snow on the ground became thicker and thicker. Almost every day, a large number of people froze to death and starved to death."
"We have tried our best to provide support, but we still cannot do everything possible."
There was a depressing atmosphere in the restaurant.
Osvid and Heidi were in a very depressed mood, and Anstasia also felt uncomfortable.
"Have you never thought about moving?" Qin Chu asked after hesitating for a while.
The expression on Osvid's face became increasingly bitter: "Relocation? The brave man may not know something. The great migration of two million people does not mean that they can just leave."
"Besides, where are you moving to?"
"Will the empire give the principality a land that can be lived in? If the empire is willing to take in the fleeing citizens of the principality, then if I give up the name of the principality and the status of king, it will be a loss for the common people, and even my life, I will Totally agreeable.”
It's just a pity that this is absolutely impossible.
