Chapter 226 5.18 The Identity of the Flame Herald

Inside the Wind's End Castle, at dusk.

Sophie has been quite honest these days. She went to school honestly under Katya's "supervision" during the day, and returned to the castle accompanied by Wenzov at night.

Like all the children in the Wind's End Castle, she lived a student life with a three-point one-line. Even Nefertiti thought that this short vacation seemed good.

In school, she briefly withdrew from the disputes between the lord and the church, watching the innocent children playing together.

At night, in the dead of night, she could return to her bedroom and concentrate on upgrading the seven powerful Anubis warriors. Seven Anubis thugs made of sword cultivators in the Jindan period of the Eastern Land, this is a huge "wealth" that she had never enjoyed in her previous life.

However, within just three days, this "peace" was broken.

Because the "bait" she arranged-the jade seal that was condensed with the sun mark by Nefertiti using the secret method in the Temple of Horus, has disappeared.

Instead, it was a piece of mutton-fat jade that looked very luxurious.

This jade seal that was swapped was much more beautiful than the ugly jade that her father had brought her, both in terms of carving craftsmanship and appearance, but Sophie inexplicably missed the lost piece.

Because that was a small backpack that Loki made for her and gave it to her.

"Little sister, people in Donglu often say, 'You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child.' This jade seal is indeed a rare item, but it has broken your mental barriers and has achieved its greatest function."

"If you can use this thing to hang up the poisonous snakes lurking in the city, haha, this is called making the best use of it!"

"You are the daughter of a duke, born with this identity, you can't expect your people to automatically solve the difficulties they encounter. In many cases, you must take the initiative to nip the disaster in the bud before it is irreversible!"

The battle-hardened female pharaoh understood the rules of action of these secret societies very well. When Loki's ruling area was limited to the barren Hanshui Village and Wuya Town, gangs like the "Zoroastrianism" that mainly survived by "selling lord intelligence" would not pay attention to him.

At that time, Loki was just a small lord with 1,000 people. Small warlords of this scale were numerous and mediocre throughout the Western Continent.

But as the only "river valley" left in the three Viking provinces east of Tianduan Mountain, when Loki's people increased from 1,000 to nearly 6,000 in an instant, the rapidly expanding territory and subjects made him bound to attract this group of termites hidden underground.

They incited the people and stole intelligence, like a ghost hiding in the shadows at any time. Two thousand years ago, Nefertiti, as a female pharaoh sitting in the city of Thebes, focused on guarding against these people and eradicating them once they were discovered.

In her previous life, in order to clean up this group of lurkers, she took risks alone and sacrificed her life. In this life, if it only takes a small jade seal to eradicate this secret society that has existed for who knows how many years, this deal is really too cost-effective.

The mark planted by Nefertiti on the imperial seal is called "Tears of the Sun". The "Sun Priest" in the Horus Temple has the power to control light to fight. Among them, gathering the light elements that were originally uncontrollable together and concentrating them into a concentrated mark is the power that can only be mastered after being promoted to Sequence 3, "Son of the Sun".

This ability was originally used by priests to store sunlight and continue to exert their power in the dark night without any light. However, in the hands of Nefertiti, Sequence 0 "Eternal Light", the concentration of the mark is enough to last for several months.

Opening the Eye of Horus, she can easily search for the light fragments dripping from the mark. Flexible use of this ability allows her to track any enemy she wants to track.

On the night when the imperial seal was lost, the maid in the laundry room hid it in her bedroom. Today, when Nefertiti tracked the seal again, she found that the seal had been moved from her room.

Following the scattered fragments of the sun, she was surprised to find that the seal had not been sent out of Storm's End.

The fragments finally scattered at the door of an iron door. This iron door leads to the most luxurious room in Storm's End. Originally, this suite with 7 layers of nesting inside and outside was the bedroom of Duke Bernard and his wives and concubines.

And the person living in this suite now is the Viking Princess Mehrantin O'Sullivan!

**

Two months ago, when Loki led the Slavic army of Bakambusi into the Holy Mountain, Mehrantin did not return to the Conqueror's Fortress. Instead, she "lived" in Loki's bedroom.

The Viking princess seemed to be having fun every night, but she knew that the troubles she had to face at this time were no less than those of Loki.

All the lords, nobles and princes in Scandinavia are trying to save the country in their own way.

Some people have discovered new plundering routes, and some people are looking for new ways to make money.

There are also successful businessmen like Ivar O'Sullivan, who tried to gain the attention of other countries in the Western Continent with sufficient gold coins and mass production of powerful "sabertooth mercenaries".

Mahrandin also has her own plan to "save the Vikings".

She wants to incorporate "Vikings" as a province into the territory of the "Byzantine Empire".

As an ambassador who has joined the Byzantine nationality and was canonized as a noble by Mikhail III and granted the title of "kingdom envoy". This bright and beautiful appearance has attracted many prestigious investors to Scandinavia.

Relying on these investors who made a lot of money, Mehrandin's "political career" in Constantinople went very smoothly. The Viking princess, who was well versed in the rules of the game, knew that her ultimate goal was to exclude dissidents and enter the Senate as a Viking princess + envoy of the kingdom to become a senator.

As long as she could accomplish this step, she could use her allies in the Senate to promote a series of business regulations and laws that were beneficial to the Vikings, and gradually pull this barbaric primitive tribe into the territory of civilized society.

However, with the invasion of Bakambusi, all her allies were killed by the rebellious Slavic slaves overnight. Not to mention trying to enter the Senate, Mehrandin didn't even have the courage to return to the Conqueror's Fortress at this time.

How to face the nobles of various countries who had lost their children, relatives, and a lot of property in the city. She thought about it for two months and couldn't come up with any effective method.

But the Viking princess knew that since she couldn't return to the city, she had to find a new "identity" for herself.

And this "identity" is naturally Loki Starrag, who defeated Bakambusi and regarded himself as the head of the three provinces of River Valley, Dragon Breath Plateau, and Frost Ridge.

It was late at night, and the wind and snow were blowing outside the window, but in the heavy castle, the warm fireplace was burning. The firelight reflected a ruddy body in silk underwear, and the Donglu eunuch who followed her and respectfully held several pieces of fabric in his hands.

"How about this outfit? Does it look good?"

"Oh, my princess, with your figure and skin as white as mutton fat, do you still need to 'please' a country bumpkin?"

"According to the old slave's instructions, just apply some 'impatiens juice' on your soft little feet like green onion roots, and stretch them in front of him. Haha, I don't believe he can hold back!"

"Hehe, you East Road merchants are really nice to talk to." Nefertiti chuckled softly when she heard this. Sophie looked at her ignorantly, not understanding what was so funny about a woman and a eunuch changing clothes here.

Moreover, she recognized this woman.

Although she was only 5 years old, any woman would be naturally alert to a beautiful woman who appeared next to her father.

Sophie was no exception.

"Although his voice, appearance, height, and even all his living habits have almost completely changed, the unique spiritual waveform of a practitioner is deeply rooted and cannot be changed at all." Nefertiti, who was hiding in the shadow of the dome, said softly, "This eunuch from Donglu is the 'Flame Herald' we are tracking!"
