After rebirth, one gold coin bought the Elf Princess

Whether the Crown Prince or the Third Prince succeeds to the throne, it has nothing to do with her, the last-ranked princess.

The Frankish Empire had a male-first inheritance law, and her turn would come only after all three princes died.

The probability of all three princes dying was zero, so Sophia became a happy spectator.

The biggest debate between conservatives and radicals is whether or not to get involved in the dispute over Gaia.

As we all know, Gaia is the main continent of the Tiamat world.

Seventy-three percent of the land area, 81 percent of the population and more than 70 percent of the wealth are concentrated in the central continent.

There are ten resources in the world, Gaia accounts for 70%, Gondwana accounts for 20%, and Nina accounts for only 10%.

If a superpower rises in the Central Continent, it will be difficult for the Fran Empire to remain immune.

The great annihilation is imminent, and the Frankish Empire cannot stay out of it.

Either you guard your piece of land and wait for the gods to descend, or you have to join the fight for the central continent.

No matter which prince came, Roland could roughly guess the other party's intentions, but when facing the melon-eating girl Sophia, he was a little unsure.

His eyes swept across Sophia's cheek, but he couldn't see anything.

The only thing that was certain was that she appeared to be at level five, but was actually level six.

Her strength is as unpredictable as her attitude.

Although he couldn't guess Sophia's true intention, at least the Fran Empire did nothing wrong on the surface. Roland didn't think much about it and directly entertained her according to the highest level of etiquette.

Roland already knew that the Frank Empire entered Gracia in strict accordance with the rules.

The grand dinner is ready, waiting for the guests to arrive.

Everyone who comes is a guest.

In Roland's super empire plan, France was not a target that had to be conquered.

Gondwana and Nina were both outside the Central Continent.

Unlike Nina, Gondwana and Gaia are connected by a narrow land bridge.

This land bridge was firmly controlled by the Frank Empire, who built a super defense line called Nochima on both sides of the land bridge.

This line of defense is extremely strong, known as an impenetrable iron wall, protecting the security of the land borders of the Frankish Empire.

It would be very foolish to try to break through the land bridge defense line and attack the Frankish Empire.

However, the French navy is the best in the world, and their naval superiority is far ahead of other countries.

The Frank Empire is very much like the Evergreen Empire of the human race. It is a self-contained prison, and as long as they don't get out, no one can get in.

When facing such a country, friendly exchanges are the best policy.

Roland acted as a hospitable host and personally welcomed the envoys into the city.

The accommodation and other matters of the diplomatic corps had already been arranged, so he didn't have to worry about it.

The only tricky one is Princess Sophia.

Roland knew the size of the diplomatic corps in advance, but he didn't know that it would be led by the princess.

If it is a diplomatic envoy, he can be received by the Prime Minister, but not the princess.

Sophia's political status is higher than that of an ordinary king, so Roland must receive her in person to be equal.

He warmly invited Sophia to stay in the palace, but was rejected by Sophia.

Just when Roland thought she was going to live with her subordinates in the embassy district, she asked for a tree house in the World Tree District.

This request made Roland feel a little embarrassed.

The World Tree is his most important trump card, which cannot be shown to others easily. Only loyal believers in his country can approach it after strict scrutiny.

The tree house is the closest place to the World Tree, and you can clearly feel the breath of the World Tree.

A direct refusal would offend Princess Sophia and the Fran Empire, but Roland could only shake his head.

This request crossed his bottom line.

"Your Highness Sophia, this is really not possible. The World Tree is a national treasure, and the matter is of great importance. I cannot agree to this."

Sophia seemed to have guessed Roland's attitude a long time ago. Her expression did not change much as she continued to smile and say:

"Don't rush to refuse. I'll show you something. You can decide after you read it."

Roland was a little curious, what could be more important than the World Tree?

Seeing Sophia's confident look, he felt a little confused.

Of course there is something as important as the World Tree, but can Sophia produce it?

Looking at Roland's suspicious eyes, Sophia smiled and said:

"Roland, don't be so nervous. Our two countries are thousands of miles apart, so there won't be any conflict. I approached the World Tree just to find a way to become stronger."

This is true.

Although the Frankish Empire was much stronger than the Kingdom of Gracia, it was still unable to win after a long expedition.

Roland respected them, but was not afraid of them.

He didn't say anything, but just used his eyes to remind Sophia to stop talking nonsense and get to the point.

Seeing that Roland remained calm, Sophia stopped talking and directly took out a branch and handed it to Roland.

Looking at this ordinary branch, Roland was completely confused.

I can't feel any magical fluctuations on this branch. It's not even a magical material. How can it be considered a treasure?

Of course, Sophia would not travel thousands of miles to play an international joke in the name of the Frankish Empire. There must be a secret behind this branch.

Roland took the branch and injected magic power into it, but it was still empty.

Just when he was at a loss, a bold idea came into his mind.

Could this be a branch of the World Tree?

He called up the Book of Epochs from the depths of his consciousness and began to search for information about the World Tree.

He soon had the answer.

This branch does come from the World Tree.

"Is this where the World Tree lives?" Roland asked tentatively.

This time it was Sophia's turn to be surprised?

Her beautiful eyes widened instantly, and she asked in disbelief, "It's not surprising that you can tell that this is a branch of the World Tree, but how did you guess that it's a habitat?"

Seeing Sophia admit it, Roland felt relieved.

The Book of Epochs is indeed a huge encyclopedia, containing all kinds of information.

The characteristic of the World Tree is that it can absorb and store various energies.

Although it is just a dry branch, it is most likely a branch of the World Tree that has been preserved for two epochs, and still retains some characteristics of the World Tree.

After he gave a brief explanation, Sophia's eyes showed a little more fluctuation.

"It seems that it is no coincidence that you have been favored by the World Tree of Resurrection." Sophia was in awe.

"Well, it's really mostly due to good luck." Roland was not one to take compliments, and he was a little overwhelmed by Sophia's serious praise.

Since Sophia can provide information about the habitat of the World Tree, it will naturally be no problem to change it to a small tree house.

Roland agreed that Sophia could live less than one kilometer away from the World Tree, but she could not move forward without the World Tree and his consent.

His request was very reasonable. He did not hide it but put it forward openly. Sophia certainly would not object.

We are all adults with status, so naturally we wouldn't say hypocritical things like "Not letting me get close to the World Tree means you don't trust me and you're worried that I might do something bad to the World Tree."

Nonsense, the World Tree is Roland's foundation, so of course we have to do a good job of security.

Roland trusted her enough to allow her to approach within one kilometer.

After the deal was done, Sophia looked at Roland's expectant eyes, smiled, smoothed her hair, cleared her throat, and lowered her clear voice.

"In fact, I don't know where the remains of the World Tree are."

Roland's face changed slightly. If it was just a dry branch, this transaction would not be worth it.

Sophia needs to come up with more useful information.

"I found three pieces of dead branches, and this one is the best preserved. These three pieces of dead branches are located in three provinces of our country, and the farthest distance is 795 miles."

Sophia said calmly: "I can't say for sure whether the remains of the World Tree are in our country, but I can only say that the possibility is very high. You have to hurry up and don't let others get there first."

Roland glared at Sophia unhappily and asked in a low voice: "Do you know how big the remains of the World Tree are? Even if I find this World Tree in your country, can I take it away?"

Sophia didn't say anything, but just looked at Roland with a smile.

Roland also fell silent.

If you can take it away, it won’t be this price.

To take away the World Tree, you have to pay a high price.

"I can't afford to buy the remains of the World Tree now."

"No problem. I can mark the three locations where the dead branches were found. You can look for clues first when you have time."

Sophia took out a detailed map of the Frank Empire, marked the detailed location on the map, and then handed the map to Roland.

Roland half-jokingly teased, "Aren't you worried about such a detailed map?"

"Worried about someone crossing the Endless Ocean or the Nochima Land Bridge?"

Sophia smiled happily and said calmly: "If there really is such a powerful person, our Fran family would have surrendered long ago."

Roland was stunned for a few seconds, looking at Sophia's relaxed expression, and suddenly felt that this girl was quite clear about life.

Those who know the current affairs are handsome.

Anyone who can break through the land bridge, no matter where they come from, is not an enemy that the Frank Empire can resist.

Since we can't win, we have to either fight to the death or surrender on the spot.

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

They all got what they wanted, but not quite.

After the meeting, Roland called a ranger and asked him to take Sophia to the tree house.

The ranger looked hesitant, but still accepted Roland's arrangement.

After seeing Sophia off, Roland came to the back hall to find Melanice and Janice, and showed them the dead branch of the World Tree.

"What do you think? Is this dead branch of the World Tree real?"

Melanice took the dead branch of the World Tree, examined it carefully, and quickly came to a conclusion.

"it is true."

She grew up beside the Evergreen World Tree and is now an ancient tree guard who is recognized by the Resurrection World Tree and can share power.

No one knows the World Tree better than her.

There was a hint of determination in Melanie's eyes.

"This is indeed the World Tree, but I'm not sure if it's the World Tree that inhabits it."

The three of them looked at each other and fell into deep thought.

Although Sophia looks harmless, she is a young and powerful person with the appearance of a fifth-level person, and her actual strength is no less than that of a sixth-level person.

Her potential is no less than that of Melanie and Janice.

Such a super genius went to the newly established kingdom as a diplomatic envoy. I'm afraid she herself wouldn't believe that she had no ulterior motive.

What exactly does she want?

Melanice and Janice each put forward a conjecture, but both were overturned in the argument.

Looking at the two wives who were trapped in the wrong thinking, Roland smiled and said, "Change your perspective. Don't worry about what she wants. Think about what we can give her first."
