In the Name of the Queen

The two pieces of explosive gossip quickly spread throughout the Governor's jurisdiction, and even spread wildly to every corner of the Rodinia continent.

In this era without entertainment stars, gossip about the elites of the upper class, the royal family, and the noble ladies is the best entertainment after dinner.

Especially since the parties involved are the pure and innocent Saint and the notorious Roland.

This kind of gossip with its own hot spots instantly swept the entire public opinion field.

The news that Governor Roland and Saint Christine had an affair, which was spread by word of mouth in taverns and caravans, had not occupied the front page for a few days before it was suppressed by more explosive gossip.

According to reliable information, the recently popular Governor Roland does not like the holy and beautiful Saint.

The real reason is that the Governor has extremely high requirements for the figure of his female companion.

Queen Sylph and Count Sylph, who had an affair with Roland, both have very perfect figures, which indirectly confirms the authenticity of the rumors.

As the rumors continued to spread, the "angry" Saint Lady left Hansa City and returned to the Light Temple in Val City in shame and anger.

Some people gloated and hoped that this rumor would destroy the relationship between Roland and Christine, and even cause the breakdown of the cooperation between the two sides, but it did not happen.

Although the damn rumor made Christine and Roland keep their distance, her cooperation with Roland continued.

She still collected orphans everywhere in the governor's jurisdiction, selected temple warriors, helped Roland train the army, and managed the Samaritans.

Her anger must have a channel to vent, and the Samaritans were her outlet.

She implemented a harsh religious policy on the Samaritans.

She gave up boring preaching, raised the scepter directly, and announced to them in accordance with the tradition of religious reform.

Either convert or die.

This is the most authentic religious policy, original and authentic.

Just when the whole world was watching the fun, some people found a blind spot. The other party, Count Sif, never appeared.

Where did she go?

No one knew that she was walking barefoot on the vast wilderness.

Her footsteps went from the northern flower sea all the way to the south, not fast, but extremely firm.

She was going to the White Mountain, stepping on the top of the mountain, leaving marks in every corner of the White Mountain.

When she left the northern valley, the originally lush central tree quickly withered.

The flower sea giant tree is very special. The tree is just a cover, and the real body is the tree spirit.

Sif judged that the future decisive battle would be in Val City, so she simply took away the flower sea tree spirit.

She wanted to put the flower sea tree spirit on the top of the White Mountain, so that the scope of the flower sea would cover the entire Val City River with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers.

This was a difficult journey, but she was not alone.

Roland handled the main government affairs of the governor's jurisdiction as quickly as possible, entrusted all matters to officials such as Athos, and immediately set out to catch up with Sif.

When he caught up with Sif, Sif's footsteps had already crossed Hansa City and headed south.

Roland was stunned when he saw Sif's messy hair and blood-oozing feet.

He didn't need to explain too much. He knew what Sif was doing. He just didn't expect Sif to persist.

Seeing Roland, Sif, who had always been expressionless, finally smiled.

"You're here."

"I'll accompany you." Roland didn't say anything nonsense. This was his bottom line.

Of course Sif wouldn't refuse. She nodded and walked side by side with Roland.

Her speed was not fast. She wanted to spread the information of the sea of ​​flowers all the way and leave marks.

These marks would not sprout in advance.

They would sleep quietly before Sif woke them up.

The two walked side by side, and Roland couldn't help asking, "Does it hurt?"

"It hurt a little when we first set out, but now I feel that it's not my foot."

Roland was silent.

In this era, walking barefoot doesn't have to worry about stepping on glass shards and nails, but various thorny plants and uneven ground are still not suitable for walking barefoot.

He felt a little distressed, but there was no replacement.

Sif smiled and continued to move forward.

She knew that Roland thought she was complaining about her feet being so painful that she couldn't feel them, but only she knew that after stepping into the sea of ​​flowers, her memory awakened and she realized that something was wrong with her feet.

Men like to call young girls' smooth and jade-like feet "jade feet".

This is an adjective, but Sif's jade feet are a noun.

There is something wrong with her feet, and they are very big.

Although she didn't understand what went wrong, the feet that should have belonged to her did not exist, and instead were replaced by real jade feet.

This pair of jade feet is flawless and fully functional, but it shouldn't belong to her.

One day in the future, she must find her feet back, but not now.

This pair of jade feet is so perfect that Sif, who has always pursued perfection, has never noticed anything unusual.

If she hadn't stepped into the sea of ​​flowers, if she hadn't bled, she wouldn't have noticed it now.

She didn't dare to tell anyone about this, and could only bury it deep in her heart.

She didn't know who was behind it, so she could only remember it silently.

She finally understood why the magic mirror only gave her 99 points.

After all, she was an incomplete footless girl.

Fortunately, this pair of jade feet is very delicately made. Except for a little imperceptible crack in her flawless soul, it is no different from the real one.

Roland always feels a little strange when walking side by side with Sif. Sif looks the same as she did a few days ago, but she seems to have changed a little.

Sensing Roland's hesitation, Sif smiled and teased: "Fortunately, you have a smooth breakthrough to level seven. The temperament after the breakthrough is naturally different from before."

Although I always feel that something is wrong, this is indeed the most reasonable explanation.

Perhaps because he felt it was too boring, Roland started talking about the trivial matters of the Governor's District.

As he talked, he couldn't avoid the matter of Christine.

After listening to Roland's story, Sif couldn't help laughing after a few seconds.

These days of ascetic torture made her a little dazed. Roland was still good, always bringing pleasant good news.

"It's great."

"Is this good?"

Roland was a little speechless. In order to help Christine divert firepower, his relationship with Sif was confirmed in the eyes of others.

Seeing Roland's strange expression, Sif slowed down her pace and asked half-jokingly: "Why, are you disappointed by the scandal with me?"

"Of course not, you are the most beautiful, it's my honor."

The compliment came from the heart.

Looking at Roland's sincere expression, Sif smiled happily.

She pulled Roland's sleeve and said in a low voice:

"Roland, let me tell you a little secret. The magic mirror can see who the most beautiful girl in the world is."

Could it be Snow White?

Roland was a little nervous. He didn't believe that there was a girl more beautiful than Sif in the world.

"The most beautiful girl in the world is Queen Sussex."

Sif said seriously.

Roland was stunned for half a second, and he and Sif burst into laughter at the same time.

Isn't Queen Sussex Sif?

He finally understood why the magic mirror was considered a divine weapon. Although she had little combat power and no useful auxiliary ability, she was indeed a divine weapon.

It's a pity that the combat power of artifact-level weapons and artifact-level daily necessities mirrors is not at the same level.

The magic mirror must have other uses, but Sif is too weak to develop.

The two walked very slowly, but fortunately the White Mountain was not too far away.

After five days and nights of trekking, they finally arrived at the White Mountain.

Thinking of what happened here, Roland always felt as if he was in another world.

Sif softly reminded, "It's been so smooth along the way. I'm worried that the trip to Baishan will not be smooth. I'll find a suitable tree and transfer the tree spirit there. You protect me."

Roland nodded silently.

The two drew their weapons and walked towards Baishan one after the other.

In autumn, the temperature in Baishan is much cooler than at the foot of the mountain, and the snow on the top of the mountain never melts all year round.

Sif couldn't feel her feet at all as her numb bare feet stepped on the hard soil.

She walked casually according to her feelings, leaving blood stains in every corner.

This walk lasted another day and night.

Roland and Sif were on edge, always on guard against the demonized giant bear that might pounce at any time.

The giant bear is the most ferocious beast on the Rodinia continent.

In the era when lions and tigers were extinct, the giant bear was the top predator. The beasts near the magic crystal veins are more likely to be demonized, so they have to be guarded against.

When the dawn of the next day appeared, Sif finally stopped.

"That's it."

Sif pointed at a big tree with her slender finger.

Roland was a little surprised, "This tree is not the tallest, not even in the top three, why did you choose it?"

There are at least seven or eight towering trees taller than this tree along the way, and Sif's target is even less than half of the tallest one, which is a bit unreasonable.

"You can't think of it, and others can't think of it either."

Sif's reason is very sufficient.

Roland was relieved, but soon frowned again.

Even if it was to cover up, it wouldn't be necessary to choose such a small tree.

Looking at Roland's puzzled eyes, Sif reminded softly: "Look carefully."

Roland walked into the giant tree in the sea of ​​flowers chosen by Sif, and suddenly realized it.

This tree looks nothing special, but it is a kind of ginkgo.

According to the records in the classics, this kind of hidden moon ginkgo is particularly good at camouflage, and can disguise itself as redwood or even coniferous trees.

Ginkgo trees are most prosperous in the era ruled by the elves. They are the best friends of the elves.

Sif approached the ginkgo tree, stroking the wrinkled bark with a smile on her lips.

"Lucky guy, you've been chosen."

Just as Sif was about to take out the tree spirit and re-inject it, the ginkgo tree trembled violently.

Sif retreated like lightning, and the needles turned into a rainstorm, stabbing Sif madly.

If Sif dodges a little slower, even if she is not stabbed to death, she will be pierced like a hedgehog.

"Do it!"

Sif took out her spear and looked at the ginkgo tree angrily.

Damn, this is the companion of the tree elves and the enemy of the blood elves.

There is no time to consider why the tree elves' tree companion has revived. Sif's full-strength shot fiercely hit the tree trunk.

Blood splashed everywhere.

Roland took out several cans from his pocket and smashed them directly.

Since it is the tree elves' tree companion, there is no need to hold back.

Last time, Norton studied a lot of special potions when dealing with the golden tree demon, and then improved the effects of the potions. Roland asked for a lot of them, and they were all hidden in the hidden space of the Moonlight Silver Armor.

If it was a head-on fight, the violent power of the ginkgo tree would be unmatched, but it was not facing Roland, but the black technology from the top alchemists of mankind.

Although the ginkgo tree was very hard, it could not move after all. After being tortured by special potions, it could not withstand the attacks of two level seven strong men.

It stubbornly supported for a long time, but was finally hit in the core of life and fainted.

Sif was panting heavily, her face was pale, without a trace of blood.

She had been walking non-stop for several days, and her physical strength was overdrawn to the limit.

She fought the fierce battle with the Ginkgo tree demon with her last breath. Seeing Ginkgo die, she could no longer hold on, and fell into Roland's arms.
