At the same time
In the human world, Murmansk.
No matter how prosperous the outside world becomes, the territory of the Slavic King "Bakambusi" is still a cold and primitive permafrost.
The merchants and caravans know that this extremely vibrant ice field contains huge wealth, but the danger of entering the ice field to the north is no less than entering the black desert to the south.
The black desert is dry, scorching, and barren. The harsh living environment makes the free people still look forward to the goods in the hands of the merchants.
They expect the merchants to bring in spices, wheat flour and thin Tang silk.
These are absolutely necessities of life for the free people.
However, Murmansk on the other side of the earth is a different scene. Although this place is also a dead end on earth, the Slavic strongmen live well here.
Despite the cold climate, wild animals such as brown bears, wild wolves, mammoths and wild boars are not uncommon in the cold coniferous forests.
The Slavic strongmen hunted and ate the meat and skinned the animals, and they could be described as having no worries about food and clothing.
The limited wheat in the territory could even be used to brew beer.
For these strong men, meat and wine were heaven on earth. The silk, glass, porcelain, and tea in the hands of merchants were all useless here.
On the contrary, shepherds from the "Avar Khanate" in the south could occasionally sell a few barrels of fermented mare's milk and summer cotton-padded jackets made of sheepskin.
Elizabeth was following an Avar Khan caravan into Murmansk at this time.
13 years later, Elizabeth was no longer the same as she was when she was a girl. In the Western Continent, the status of a wife often changes dramatically with the wealth of her husband.
In her childhood, Elizabeth was an alien in the eyes of all the nobles in the seven countries of England. Living with orphans in the orphanage all day long, the nobles called her the "Beggar Princess".
In the English Isles, this Mercian princess is always a pastime and topic of conversation after tea and dinner.
However, just 13 years later, the former beggar princess transformed herself into the queen of the Normandy Kingdom.
At this time, the Normandy Kingdom, under the management of Loki and Ecbert, even had the capital to fight against the Byzantine Kingdom.
But Elizabeth was still unhappy.
Very unhappy.
"Mom, it's so cold here"
Elizabeth looked at her son beside her and reached out to touch his face gently. This is her and Loki's eldest son, who has been 13 years old since birth.
A 13-year-old boy can already pick up a sword and go out to sea to plunder in Scandinavia, but Wenlan Stalag does not look like a Stalag tribe member at all.
He is timid, quiet, and sometimes it is not surprising to call him "cowardly".
All this is of course thanks to her husband who has been away for 5 years and his life or death is unknown.
Since birth, Loki has hardly accompanied the prince.
When she was pregnant, he ran away to Paris and was imprisoned by Mutu, the 'King of the Earthsea'.
When she was about to give birth, Alfred led the Frost Giants and all of Loki's vassals to go to war with the Duchy of France.
During this long period of time, no one was by her side.
After her son was born, she even named him "Vinland" herself.
In Norse, Vinland means "a fertile land of vitality and prosperity." Elizabeth hoped that the birth of the prince would bless this country that rose in blood and fire.
After winning the Battle of Paris, she thought that life would always return to peace, but she didn't expect that since the damn Ecbert and Loki began to meet frequently, the two immediately joined forces to unify the seven kingdoms of England.
After unifying the seven kingdoms of England, they crossed the sea to build Paris.
By the time the "Kingdom of Normandy" was successfully established, Vinland was already 7 years old.
Loki met him no more than 10 times in total.
It is conceivable what a boy who grew up in this situation would become.
In the Middle Ages, men always had to go out to fight. Although Elizabeth felt a little resentful about all this, she could still understand it.
But what happened next made her blood pressure soar.
When Vinland was 8 years old, she found out that Vinland was not Loki's first son!
At some point, the Viking princess "Mehrandin O'Sullivan" had given birth to a son for him, and he was one year older than Vinland.
Although Elizabeth was so angry that her teeth itched, this happened before the two got married, so it was not against the doctrine of the Holy Bishop that "husband and wife are loyal to each other".
Then he left for five years, completely igniting all the anger in the queen's heart.
A monarch did not sit on the throne, handed over all the affairs of the kingdom to Ecbert, and then disappeared strangely.
What's even more incredible is that the reason he left was for an adopted daughter picked up from the land of the Slavs!
It's not too strange for a noble to have illegitimate children outside, but it's already very outrageous to give illegitimate children their own surnames.
What's more exaggerated is that he and this "Sophie Starrag" are not even related by blood!
For such an adopted daughter, "King of Paris" Loki disappeared for 5 years.
5 years later, the gentle Elizabeth could no longer hide the raging anger in her heart.
Noticing her mother's face gradually turning pale, Wenlan thought she was cold, and stretched out her hands to condense a ball of pale flames.
The temperature inside the building car immediately rose, but Elizabeth gently covered her eldest son's hands and extinguished the flame.
Being separated from his father since childhood caused some defects in Wenlan's character, but in terms of the power of God's Chosen, Wenlan was even stronger than himself. Elizabeth needed to chant spells to complete the miracle spell, but Wenlan could complete it with a wave of his hand.
What's more powerful is that he doesn't need the red-robed monk to pray for him.
As long as there is light, he can easily transform any object transformed by pure spiritual energy.
Elizabeth's mother, the Mercian Saint Diorena, called him the Son of God.
After 5 years, Elizabeth's patience has disappeared. You know, she is only 32 years old this year, she is still young, and she can give Loki a few more children.
Even if this guy really died in a foreign land, she can remarry as soon as possible after learning the news.
This is not to meet personal needs, but for her son. Remarrying at least allowed Wenlan to have a father who could serve as a role model before entering puberty.
Instead of living with a woman every day.
Ecbert, the prime minister of the kingdom who was acting as the king, obviously knew where Loki was going. In the first few years, he could still hold the secret, but in the fifth year, even Ecbert saw Elizabeth and couldn't help but feel a little pity in his heart.
Under the repeated questioning of the queen, he finally gave a vague answer.
It all started with Mutu, the 'king of the sea', who he carried away in Paris.
Mutu was not dead.
At this time, he was in the cold tundra of Murmansk.
Elizabeth set out immediately after receiving the news. After paying enough gold coins and successfully entering a caravan selling strong liquor, the group of Avar Khan shepherds wearing sheepskin coats did not harass him too much along the way.
Although the shepherds had not seen much of the market, they could still judge that this pair of nobles who were emitting a faint glow all the time were not within their reach.
What's more, they were accompanied by 8 powerful Viking guards.
The journey from the Avar Khanate to Murmansk lasted a total of 12 days.
Since entering the land of the Slavs, the shepherds were on edge every day, fearing that they would encounter a small group of Slavic savages living freely on the tundra.
For merchants, encountering them in the wilderness was not a good thing.
The years of fighting with Viking pirates trained these savages to have strong fighting instincts, and the "Mengge God" believed in by the Avar Khans was not a god who could grant mortals the power of God's Choice.
They held bows and arrows and were nervous.
However, what they did not expect was that not long after entering the ice field, a well-organized Slavic regular army appeared in front of them.
"Excuse me, is this Queen Elizabeth's carriage?"
"We have been waiting here for a long time for the order to be named 'Prophet'."
