In the Name of the Queen

The moment Angelina crushed the ice crystal blue ring, the temperature of the small flat-topped mountain, which was originally only slightly chilly, suddenly dropped sharply.

At the moment the temperature dropped, Roland clearly felt that the god of death was smiling at him, and even the background music of black people carrying coffins rang in his ears.

Without a trace of hesitation, he immediately activated the Holy Blessing.

This was a life-saving method that he had to activate actively. Other rings and armors were passive and did not need to be activated actively.

Although the Holy Blessing had to cool down for a whole day after being used once, he dared not neglect it.

Everything can be gambled, except life.

Angelina herself could not pose any threat to him, and the only killer move came from this ring.

It goes without saying that this was the killer left to her by Queen Sophia.

To die under such a killer, it was also a

Ah, how could he die from a mere ring!

Roland's defense ability was fully activated, and he could only resist the deadly coldness contained in the ring.

Facing a large-scale extreme cold attack, dodging was useless and could only be resisted.

The moment the ring shattered, endless cold air gushed out, and the originally snow-capped flat-topped hill instantly turned into an ice and snow world.

Angelina shuddered with fear and was stunned for a moment.

She knew that the queen was invincible, but she never dreamed that a ring containing one-tenth of her attack power could have such power.

If the queen herself came, Roland would definitely shatter like an ant, but this was only one-tenth of the queen's full-strength attack!

Angelina didn't know that the number the queen told her was a bit conservative. The energy of this ring was not one-tenth, but one-third.

Sophia knew very well that the person who allowed Angelina to use the ring must be a seventh-level strongman.

Since someone bullies the weak, don't blame her for being merciless.

Of course, this was one-third of Sophia's real power more than a year ago. No one knows how much Sophia's strength has increased in the past year.

Angelina looked at Roland who had turned into an ice sculpture and breathed a sigh of relief.

The biting coldness after the ring was unsealed was unbearable even for her who was good at controlling frost. How could Roland survive after being hit head-on?

"This ring has one-tenth of the attack power of Her Majesty the Queen. You deserved to die."

Angelina approached the ice sculpture of Roland that was sealed by the ice barrier and whispered softly.

She raised her two swords, crossed them in front of her chest, and bowed to Roland in the highest etiquette of the Rurik people to pay tribute to warriors.

A powerful and respectable opponent.

Dare to challenge the Queen, courage is commendable.

If he was not the enemy of Her Majesty the Queen, perhaps they could be friends, Angelina felt a little regretful.

Thinking of Roland's demeanor when accepting a one-on-one duel, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

He is worthy of being the leader of the Royal Knights, very chivalrous.

If he knew this was the outcome, would he regret it?

At the moment when Roland turned into an ice sculpture, Lisa, who was watching the battle with a telescope on a hot air balloon hundreds of meters high, almost fainted on the spot.

She couldn't believe her eyes.

How is this possible?

Just before being frozen, Roland still had an absolute advantage, how could he be overturned in an instant?

That ring! It must be that damn ring!

Thinking of the scene of Angelina squeezing the ring hard, Lisa figured it out in a flash.

Angelina didn't have the ability to defeat Roland, it must be the problem of this ring, it must be Sophia's doing!

She threw down the telescope, stepped up, and flew into the sky.

However, before she flew, she was caught by Christine with a spear.

"What do you want to do?" Christine looked at Lisa in confusion.

"I want to parachute, I want to go down to avenge Roland!" Lisa's eyes were red, and she was ready to kick her away if Christine dared to stop her.

"What about your parachute?" Christine asked with narrowed eyes.

Lisa was stunned, and cold sweat kept coming out of her forehead.

She was so worried that she had lost her mind just now, and she didn't even pay attention to whether she had a parachute bag on her back.

Parachuting without a parachute is simply suicide.

Christine took out the parachute bag from behind and threw it into the snow-covered mountain stream.

The parachute bag swayed and landed like a snowflake.

Lisa's eyes turned red with anxiety. She grabbed Christine's collar in a hurry and was so angry that she couldn't speak.

"You, you"

"Do you think Roland is dead?" Christine asked back.

Lisa was frightened by Christine's question.

Yes, Roland was just frozen into a statue. Who said he must be dead?

"Then I have to go down. I can control the fire and help him thaw."

"The fire can melt the ice, but he is really dead."

Christine said seriously: "Ms. Lisa, please respect science. Severe thermal expansion and contraction will cause fragile materials to break."

Lisa wanted to ask what thermal expansion and contraction was, but she felt that this would expose her IQ, so she had to bear it.

But she couldn't help but complain: "You serve the goddess, but you also believe in those heresies?"

"This is not heresy, it's science. If you don't even understand science, how can you serve the goddess?" Although Christine didn't look at Lisa with contempt, her cold tone still hurt Lisa's heart.

Lisa clenched her fists and had no time to argue with Christine. She quickly cast her eyes on Roland, who was like a statue in the ice.

He closed his eyes quietly, as if he was asleep.

The barrier was extremely hard, sealing him inside, just like the classical handsome man statues of the Magic Empire period that can be seen everywhere in the square.

Angelina picked up the scattered Austrian steel swords and cast her eyes on the ring fragments on the ground.

She was surprised to find that the ring was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

What was going on?

She carefully picked up the scattered fragments, feeling the biting cold coming from the fragments.

She almost threw away the ring fragments, but thinking that this was a gift from the Queen, she dared not neglect it. She could only grit her teeth and insist, allowing the ring to absorb the energy in her body and recover quickly.

The hot air balloon was still floating in the air, and only a parachute bag fell.

Angelina was a little surprised. She thought that Lisa, who was worried about Roland, would fall from the sky, snatch Roland's body statue, or even attack her.

Her duel with Roland was a gentleman's agreement, which had no restraint on an angry woman.

If Lisa took action, she would most likely suffer.

Although the ice crystal blue ring was powerful, it could only save her once.

If Lisa took action in anger, she would certainly not sit and wait for death, but the ending would most likely be tragic.

But she was fearless. If she could replace Roland, she would have made a great contribution, even if all 17,000 people stationed in Val City were buried with him.

Roland's value could be conservatively estimated to be equivalent to 100,000 troops.

This was said by Sahalin, the chief of the Shadow Temple.

The fourth seat of the Shadow Temple plus 17,000 regular troops, in exchange for Roland's life and the prosperity of the Sussex Empire, would be a huge gain.

Angelina had long been prepared to stain the White Mountain with blood.

However, Lisa and Christine did not make any move, except for the parachute packs thrown down, they just watched.

Angelina was puzzled.

According to her intelligence, Lisa's feelings for Roland had long surpassed siblings, and they were like lovers. Although Christine was only Roland's ally, she owed Roland a favor, and she would not back down until she paid it back.

Both of them had absolute reasons to attack her, but they remained indifferent.

Could it be that Roland was not dead?

Angelina looked at Roland in the frozen barrier suspiciously, bit her lip, picked up the two swords, and stabbed fiercely.

"Ding!"

A crisp sound rang out, and the frozen barrier did not move at all, and there was not even an obvious scratch, as if mocking her overestimation.

Angelina was not angry, and even wanted to laugh.

This was the energy contained in the ice crystal blue ring given by the Queen. It could freeze the soul, and the mere Austrian steel double swords could not hurt it at all.

Even such a sophisticated weapon could not hurt it, let alone Roland breaking the barrier.

With such a terrifying low temperature, ordinary humans would freeze to death in an instant.

Although Roland is a transcendent, he is still a flesh and blood body. At most, he can hold on for a while, and still freeze to death.

Since Roland is bound to die, Angelina did not think much.

She stood quietly and continued to recharge the ice crystal blue ring.

This was a fair duel, and she was the winner.

Unless the Sussex Empire lost face, it would have to let her go.

Lisa couldn't come down, and she couldn't fly up. Both sides were frozen in place, waiting.

Angelina was waiting for Roland to die completely.

Lisa was waiting for Roland to break the ice.

What was Roland doing? He was freezing to death, frantically looking for a heat source.

Dream, sea of ​​flowers.

There was no time to wonder why he returned to the sea of ​​flowers from the battle. Roland needed warmth now.

It was so damn cold!

Is this the true strength of Queen Sophia? This is the extreme cold embrace that can freeze the soul, the deadly cold that can shatter steel.

The flesh and blood of carbon-based life can't bear it at all.

The moment he was frozen, the magic source ring, a life-saving item given by the Magic Association, broke.

The divine protection also broke after a moment of resistance.

If it weren't for the white wolf leather armor to keep him warm, he would have been frozen.

In the biting cold, his soul left his body and instinctively fled to a safe area, the sea of ​​​​elven flowers.

Roland almost cried from the cold, but he held back.

He saw the elf Sif in a daze under the ginkgo tree.

He gritted his teeth, tried to maintain a calm expression, and walked over tremblingly.

"Sif, can you make a fire? I'm a little cold."

The dazed elf Sif looked up at Roland with a slightly surprised look. Seeing that his eyebrows, eyelashes and beard were all covered with strange blue frost, the elf Sif seemed to remember something terrible, her face suddenly changed, and her voice trembled slightly.

"Is this the power of winter?!"

Her fingertips kept shaking, and her originally fair face was even more bloodless.

"Roland, who did you offend? How did you get into this?"

"It's that damn woman Sophia. Let's not talk about it, I'm going to freeze to death soon." Roland's lips have begun to turn blue.

The elf Sif clapped her palms lightly and chanted quickly.

Although it is absolutely taboo to light a fire in the sea of ​​flowers, Roland is in danger of his life, and she can't care about so many taboos. Saving people is important.

The milky white flame shot out from the palm and fell quickly.

The elf Sif had no time to think about how to put out the fire when the sea of ​​flowers was ignited.

If the flames were lit earlier, Roland would have more hope of being saved. If Roland could not be saved, the dream sea of ​​flowers would be ruined.

The milky white flame fell to the ground quickly.

At the moment of landing, the milky white turned into azure blue, and the leaping flame solidified into a strange flame-shaped ice cube, lying quietly on the ground.

The sea of ​​flowers swayed gracefully, with a pleasant fragrance, and there was no sign of burning at all.

Roland and the elf Sif were stunned at the same time.

What was going on?

The flame was not in a regular form, but was close to plasma. Could it be frozen?

The falling flame ice crystals were glittering and extremely beautiful, shining with deadly brilliance, but it made Roland feel deeply desperate.

If neither the sea of ​​flowers nor the elf Sif can save him, who else can?

What kind of magic is Sophia using? Is this the strength that a rank seven should have?

Is Sophia really invincible? Even the ring that stores energy is so terrifying?

Feeling the remaining body temperature gradually disappear, Roland's thinking became slower and slower.

His life began to play like a slide show, but before a few frames were played, it was frozen.

Roland was really angry.

Damn, is this still reasonable? Aren't you going to go through the process of last moments?

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something to the elf Sif, but his consciousness gradually blurred, and his stiff body fell forward.

The elf Sif screamed and pounced on the fallen Roland, with horror and sadness, invisible tears sliding down her cheeks.

These are false tears.

She couldn't cry without a physical body.

Only in dreams could she barely hug Roland.

However, the moment the invisible tears slid down, they were frozen and turned into transparent ice crystals that fell to the ground.

"Roland, you."

The elf Sif bit her lip, her eyelashes trembling.

In an instant, countless past events came to mind, and the years of the Third Age were like a yellowed scroll, slowly turning over.

She closed her eyes, hugged Roland, turned her body like a butterfly, and sat down together.

Under the hem of her skirt, a pair of flawless jade feet slowly stretched out and squeezed into Roland's arms.

The skin of the jade feet was slightly different from her body's white skin color.

Although the jade feet were white, they looked more like living people.

Under the white skin, blood vessels were faintly visible, and the pink toes were round and full. The exotic fragrance of the essence of the sea of ​​flowers bloomed on the toes, like clouds and mist.

Even if you are not a foot control, it is difficult to resist the urge to lick such a perfect work of art.

Fortunately, Roland was already unconscious, and the elf Sif did not have to worry about the most delicate and sensitive parts being played with by Roland in his mouth.

The soles of the feet touched the palms, and the warmth dissipated.

Roland was like a dying drowning man grasping at the last straw, subconsciously grasping the only warmth in the ice and snow world.

He hugged the flame tightly and stuffed it into his arms.

The soul of the elf Sif was trembling.

She opened her mouth, but could not make any sound. Her whole body was limp uncontrollably, like a snake with its spine pulled out, and could only twist its body in vain.

Tears rolled in her eyes, her pearly teeth bit her red lips, and her bloodless face turned red. The elf Sif could not break free from Roland's iron hand at all, and could only grit her teeth and hold on.

The heat from the toes brought Roland the only warmth in the extreme cold, so that his body and soul were not completely frozen.

While he was desperately fighting against the cold, Angelina, who was standing outside the frozen barrier, was also constantly transmitting energy to restore the ice crystal blue ring.

She could clearly feel that the recovery speed of the ice crystal blue ring was getting faster.

She could even feel that she had become stronger through this ring recovery.

As long as she is given time to recover her energy, she will be able to fight even if Lisa lands.

She couldn't help but burst into tears.

This is her hard work, and it is also a gift from the Queen.

If the Queen hadn't appreciated her, she would probably be a choir member in a church school for life.

Although there is nothing wrong with praising the goddess in the choir, it is obvious that her future is brighter with the Queen.

Everything she has is given by the Queen, and she doesn't care even if she is torn to pieces for the Queen.

She glanced at the frozen barrier.

Roland is an excellent enemy, superior to her in both strength and intelligence, and even has some chivalry. She is willing to admit that Roland is stronger than her.

It's a pity that he is the Queen's enemy.

Since she is standing on the opposite side of the Queen, it is a blessing to die decently.

Angelina walked towards the frozen barrier, stretched out her hands, and put on bearskin gloves with strong cold resistance.

Since she can't break the frozen barrier, she will carry it back as a trophy.

Just as her hands touched the ice wall, the "dead" Roland suddenly opened his eyes and showed a smile as bright as the sun.

Although he was still in the ice wall and still in a frozen posture, Angelina's heart sank suddenly.

He is not dead yet? !

How is this possible!

No one can stop the Queen's attack, even with one-tenth of its power!

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, Roland's scepter smashed the ice barrier and hovered accurately above Angelina's head.

"You lose."

Roland said lightly.

He did not lose to Angelina, but was almost crushed by Sophia's casual attack.

Without the help of the elf Sif, he could not even wake up.

He looked at the ice crystal blue ring in Angelina's hand with his peripheral vision, and suddenly realized it.

Angelina tried to restore the ring and absorbed a lot of extreme cold energy, which gave him a chance to escape death.

He vaguely touched Sophia's true strength.

Powerful, but not invincible.

Sophia was like a god in front of the same level strongmen before.

Now she finally showed her energy bar.

The data was breathtaking, but she was no longer invincible like a blood lock.

Roland wanted to laugh at himself.

He became the first person to survive Sophia's attack.

Although it was only one tenth of the power.

Such a shameful thing actually became a topic worth boasting about and being proud of, which really made people feel cold.

Roland didn't even have the mood to mock Angelina.

But in Angelina's eyes, the whole world collapsed.

The invincible queen couldn't actually use the aftermath to kill the same level enemy?

She even forgot to symbolically resist.

It wasn't until Roland casually took the ring from her that she reacted.

"That's the ring given by the Queen!"

"It's mine now." Roland finally smiled.

People's happiness is never shared, and most of the time it is built on the pain of others.

Taking the ring that belonged to Sophia from Angelina's hand even gave Roland an indescribable pleasure.

He put the ring on his middle finger in front of Angelina with a little provocation, and then raised his finger to Angelina.

This was a greeting from his hometown.

He wanted to wear it on his little finger, but this represented non-marriage and was easy to cause Sif to misunderstand, so he simply put the ring on his middle finger.

This meant that he had someone in his heart.

Sif must like this way of wearing it.

Seeing Roland's rude and rude behavior, Angelina looked ashen, and her tough heart seemed to be torn apart.

She stared at Roland blankly, and suddenly lost all hope, knelt down crying, covered her face with her hands, and just sobbed non-stop.

The Queen's wedding ring was defiled by the shameless villain in front of her, but she could not stop it.

Even if the Queen killed Roland, this shame could not be redeemed.

And this was all caused by her, she could only die to atone for her sin.

Wait, she could still die.

Angelina loosened her hands and stared at Roland with cold eyes, which made Roland feel a little scared.

"Hey, I warn you, don't do stupid things. You have already lost. For the sake of 17,000 soldiers to return home safely, I advise you to calm down. You are the commander of an army, you can't act on impulse."

Angelina smiled.

Roland, this idiot, didn't even know how big a mess he had made.

He took the Queen's wedding ring and even put it on the middle finger, which symbolized that he had someone in his heart, which was equivalent to proposing to Queen Sophia in front of everyone.

As we all know, the Queen had experienced a failed marriage.

No feelings, no children, and she was still a girl until she killed her husband.

This is an indescribable humiliation.

Angelina wanted to live longer to see how abstract Roland's death was.

However, she couldn't.

Because her death was definitely more abstract than Roland's.

The two swords stabbed at the throat and heart at the same time.

Goodbye, world!

Angelina smiled, wanting to leave a smile in this world before dying.

Unfortunately, how could Roland let the spoils go bad.

With a sweep of the scepter, the two swords flew more than ten meters away.

Roland pinched Angelina's mouth, opened it fiercely, took out a bottle of potion from somewhere and drank it directly.

Angelina was exhausted, and most of her energy was consumed by repairing the ring. She couldn't resist at all, so she could only let Roland do whatever he wanted.

After taking the potion, Roland said coldly:

"Swear in the name of Sophia that you will not run away, immediately!"

"I refuse!"

"After you die, you will be made into a naked ice sculpture and exhibited as a work of art in Hansa City. The name of the work is called Beautiful Idiot." Roland's voice was cold, like a devil.

Angelina was stunned. She couldn't even think of a word to scold Roland.

She vaguely felt that he was really daring.

After all, he dared to wear the Queen's wedding ring on his middle finger. What else can't he do?

Angelina collapsed to the ground, raised her right hand woodenly, and swore with sobs.

"In the name of the great winter master, the Queen of the Vladimir Empire, I, Angelina, will abide by the duel oath, obey Roland's orders as a prisoner of war, never run away, and do nothing that violates the status of a prisoner of war. If I violate the oath, I would like to fall into the polar glacier forever, and my soul will be frozen until the end of the world."

After the oath, Angelina smiled with relief.

It was good to be a prisoner of war. She could see Roland's death with her own eyes.

Roland was also relieved. He didn't expect Angelina to be so straightforward.

It can be seen that he was not broken by Sophia's flat attack, which broke Angelina's defense.

The Rurik people believed in the invincibility of Queen Sophia. As long as the myth of Sophia's invincibility was broken, the mentality of the Rurik people would explode instantly.

Angelina was the first, and definitely not the last.

Since he won, Roland naturally had the demeanor of a winner.

He smiled and helped Angelina up, making an invitation gesture.

"Welcome Miss Angelina to visit Hansa City. You can move freely within the designated area, but you cannot leave Hansa City and cannot contact outsiders."

Face is given to each other.

Since Angelina swore not to run away, she should be executed according to the house arrest standards.
