Reckless Through The New World

Princess Sonia, with her hand-picked group of dependable men, trudged the glacier against the cold winds of the North.

The severe cold and strong winds are only relatively simple enemies they face; the dangerous monsters that appear in the glacier from time to time are not a big problem for them who have the confidence to kill the ice dragon; what really worries them is the glacier itself.

We all know that glaciers are moving ice. Because of the flow, there are many hidden cracks and underground caves in it. Often people are clearly walking on the seemingly solid ice, but suddenly their feet are empty and fall into the bottomless cracks. What is even more frightening is the cold and strange wind that blows from the underground cave from time to time.

No one knew where the strange wind came from, but no one wanted to meet it - it could easily penetrate thick leather clothing and sturdy armor, and freeze the flesh and blood inside into dry and cold ice chips. Once blown by it, unless there is a powerful cleric by the side, it will not even be too late to rescue.

The reason why the Sonia Dragon Slayer and his party are moving slowly is that while advancing, they carefully probe the surroundings and avoid any possible underground caves - no one knows whether there will be hidden underground caves that seem to be empty. A terrifying, terrifying wind.

Fortunately, the strange wind will only appear within a hundred miles of the ice dragon. According to the record of the last observation of the ice and snow giant dragon, this place is relatively far from there, and it can barely be regarded as a safe area.

But Norton Spike dared not be the least bit careless. His father had taught him from an early age that leaders should not be overly cautious, not even a little careless.

"Sailors can be careless, the big deal is to pay for their own carelessness with their lives; but the captain is not qualified to be careless, because you have no right to pay for your carelessness with other people's lives!"

This is one of the Spikes' family motto.

One of the most important reasons Sonia asked Norton to be the vice-captain of the Dragon Slayer Corps was that he was careful enough.

Her family understands her own affairs, and she is very clear that she has never been a careful person - after all, she can't inherit even a little bit of "careful" from her parents, but at least a bunch of "big leaves". Unless she wants to be like some unpromising guy, bringing a mighty army to slay the dragon, and in the end, she was killed without armor and armor, and only a few remnants were left to flee back.

So, after persuading her again and again, and chatting with her father for at least half a year, she finally succeeded in bringing the king's favorite general, one of the most important generals of the new generation of the South Sea Kingdom, from the magic ship under construction." The "Black Pearl" was dragged out of the construction site, dragging Norton and a group of elite knights to this icy world to slay dragons.

"Your Royal Highness, this dragon slaughter really doesn't make much sense." When camping at night, Norton persuaded again, "The snow giant Dorono Kars can't provide any trophies at all."

"But my father said it made sense to kill that guy," Sonia said. "Although he wouldn't tell me what it meant, but since it makes sense, it's worth doing it once."

"This kind of thing, just leave it to a strong man like His Majesty the King. I believe that as long as His Majesty goes out, even if he doesn't need any help, he can kill the dragon alone."

"Father slaying dragons and I slaying dragons are completely different!"

"...with all due respect, I really don't see a difference."

Sonia blushed with anger, and her chest, which was almost invisible, was also rising and falling violently. She stomped her feet and went back to her tent to sleep.

Norton watched her leave, shook his head, and smiled.

"Sure enough, it's still a child's temper! At this time, it's better to say 'for the glory of the princess'!"

"She's not the kind of person who can say such a thing with confidence." Another voice suddenly sounded in the tent that looked like no one else, "She hasn't adapted to the power to make many people die in one sentence. ."

"I think that's a good thing," Norton replied.

"But she has to adapt because it's her responsibility," the voice said.

"I don't understand." Norton hesitated and asked, "With you around, it doesn't matter if Her Royal Highness is not used to this kind of power, right?"

The voice did not answer.

"You are so powerful, and you have a group of companions who are just as powerful as you. You and your companions will neither age nor die... Her Royal Highness will not wait for the day of her succession at all, so Even if she never gets used to this kind of power, I don't think so. Maybe that would be more pleasant for her."

He said it conservatively, but he already hinted at something.

What's the scariest thing about the heir to the crown?

It is not that you are not ready when the crown falls on your head; it is that you are ready, but the crown is slow to fall on your head.

Among the bards, there is a joke like "How can there be a sixty-year-old prince in the world", but for an immortal king, to be his heir, let alone sixty years, even if it is six hundred or six thousand years. Don't wait until the day you succeed.

This is the case in the South Sea Kingdom. Princess Sonia will never succeed on the throne, so why should she learn and become familiar with power?

Even if you want to inherit the crown from your mother, it will be at least two or three hundred years later. Do you need to be in such a hurry?

As the commander of the Palace Guard, Norton knew the character and style of His Majesty the King quite well. Although Her Royal Highness's idea of ​​slaughtering the dragon this time was her own idea, she brought the army to slaughter the dragon because of the inducement of Her Majesty the King.

According to the character of the princess herself, she will probably form an adventure team with a group of young people who are also full of fighting spirit and ideals to find trouble with the ice dragon.

To be honest, Norton thinks that the success rate may be even higher!

After a while, the king answered the inquiry of his cronies.

"She has to be ready, maybe... that day won't be very far away."

In the study room of the Royal Palace of the Sea Dragon Kingdom, the king who was handling official business under the light of the night pearl touched his chin that was harder than steel and sighed softly.

He opened the system panel and looked at the time of "the 829th year of the mainland calendar", his eyes dimmed a little.

"Originally I thought it was a long time, but it seems that in a blink of an eye, there is less than half of it left."

"One hundred years is far shorter than I thought!"

He turned off the system panel, stood up, took a few steps in the study, turned to look north, his eyes seemed to have traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers, and he saw his daughter who was curled up into a sleeping bag in the snow and ice.

"Sonia, you have to grow up quickly, because...the time left for you to prepare is not as much as you think..."
