Today's princess is still cute

"Keep your voice down! Don't you want to live?!"

Downstairs, the two people, who were contented with petting the cat from a distance, left hand in hand. Next they were going to head out of the city to see the frozen canal. Tina had never seen such a scenery before.

"Cats are so cute." Tina exclaimed.

"Not as cute as you."

The Son of God added without hesitation, his words were so decisive.

Tina took his hand and squeezed it hard, her face slightly red, and she responded softly: "Yeah"

Chapter 161 Your Highness is My Baby

The deep ice is three feet thick, and the white snow covers a thousand miles.

This Grand Canal of the Blue Empire connects to the moat of the imperial capital. After three busy seasons, the port of the western secondary capital can finally take a break in the winter.

The weather this year is exceptionally cold, and the ice is exceptionally deep. According to the military's findings, the ice layer is already three meters deep under the water, and is showing a trend of getting deeper.

Now, icebreaking transportation has become an impossible task. Unless the empire's largest warship is used, there is no ship that can draft more than ten meters and then break through the ice to move forward.

Therefore, the canal was very quiet at this time. Apart from a few teams of guards patrolling in the severe cold, there was no shadow at all.

It didn't take much effort for Cardinson and Tina to leave the city. The captain of the guard at the gate was almost scared to death when he saw the Son of God and the Princess traveling together. He didn't even dare to check and let them pass.

The heavy snow blocked the city, but where could these two masters go?

“Hoo-hoo-ah.”

Tina was holding a steaming hot pie in her hand, which was filled with thick yellow peach jam. When she took a bite, she felt so sweet that her whole body was bubbling.

Cardinson hugged her, eating a pie himself, and said vaguely, "Is this the second time your Highness has left the city?"

"Well, that was the first time when we went hunting."

In fact, there was no need for Cardinson to continue speaking, Tina's eyes were fixed on the scenery outside.

The surface of the river has been frozen. It did not snow today, and the wind blew away the broken snow on the river surface. Looking around, it looks like a mirror with a hint of frost, and it buckles the entire imperial capital in the middle like a jade belt. Under the light, it shines silver with a magnificent beauty.

After Tina finished eating the pie, Cardinson took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth, then put away the oil paper bag, stuffed it into the storage ring, and asked, "Do you want to go to the river to play?"

"Is it okay?" Tina was looking forward to it.

"Of course." Cardinson smiled, took her hand and walked over there.

At this time, the Guards don’t care whether anyone approaches the ice or not. Anyone who can come out to play in this weather can be called a good man. Who is as idle as Cardinson and the other two?

Only one of the four city gates was open. There were few pedestrians coming and going, but most of them were caravans that took great pains to deliver goods into the imperial capital.

Cardinson found a team, paid to buy their extra sled, then moved it to the ice, sat on it directly, waved to Tina and shouted, "Come over here quickly!"

"Ah."

Tina stepped carefully on the ice, then walked towards Cardinson with confidence and sat on the sled. It was a bit crowded, so she could only lean on Cardinson's arms, which was warm and comfortable.

"Mr. Knight, I saw the picture in the book. This thing called a sled needs a dog or something else to pull it in order to run."

Tina kindly reminded.

Cardinson laughed, lowered his head and kissed her on the face, and said, "Just sit down."

There was only a snap of fingers, and the sled rushed out with a "bang".

"what!"

Tina had never seen such a scene before. Her face turned pale with fright and she tightly grasped Cardinson's hand.

The sled was moving very fast, sliding across the ice like flying.

Cardinson is considered the top "troublemaker" in this imperial city, as he is so extravagant as to use fire element crystals to provide propulsion just to make her happy.

"Don't be afraid, come on, open your eyes and take a look."

Cardinson carefully held up a shield of divine power, and when the wind blew on Tina's body, there was no longer any chill, but rather a very refreshing feeling.

Tina poked her little head out of his arms and watched the scenery rapidly receding. The bare trees on both sides of the canal seemed to be waving to her, and the whistling sound of the sled sliding on the ice became less scary.

"Slow down, slow down." Tina whispered.

Cardinson immediately slowed down, and Tina dared to sit up straight and experience this unprecedented novelty.

"Mr. Knight, this is different from riding in a carriage." Her eyes were shining, like a little kid seeing a toy for the first time, and she exuded joy from head to toe.

"Is it fun?"

"Ok!"

After the sled had slid for a while, Tina, who had adapted to the situation, began to muster up her courage. She stretched out her hand and waved it, then waved it even harder. The corners of her mouth gradually rose, and she let out a sweet laugh.

Her profile looked like a piece of crystal clear glass under the reflection of the ice surface. Every curve and every ups and downs was full of natural beauty.

Sometimes Cardinson wondered whether God loved Tina or not.

This beauty is really just right, one more would be too much, one less would be not enough.

"Your Highness." Cardinson called softly.

"Hmm?" Tina turned and looked at him.

"Let's go out and play more in the future. I'll take you to the southernmost part to see the sea. You don't need to take a boat then. When I reach the second level, I can fly. Let's fly over there."

"Well! I will go wherever Mr. Knight takes me!" Tina felt the warmth coming from him, and her heart was indescribably touched and happy. The little princess hesitated for a few seconds, and then made a bold move that she would never do under normal circumstances.

She rubbed her body, raised her head, pressed her cherry lips against Cardinson's, and said very seriously, word by word: "Tina, I like Mr. Knight the most."

"I also like Your Highness the most. Your Highness is my baby. I will never like another person like this."

"Me too."

The sled gradually slowed down, leaving only the two of them hugging each other tightly on the ice.

At times like this, the only option is a deep kiss.

"What are they doing?"

"I don't know. I don't dare to look. If you are not afraid of death, you can use a telescope to take a look."

"You also know the telescope technique, why don't you use it!"

"I'm afraid of death."

The two court mages who were called out by Paramo to follow the sled were standing at the corner of the imperial capital, watching the sled getting farther and farther away until it turned into a small black shadow.

Following along all the way, I was really terrified, and always felt that I would be discovered by the Holy Son of the Vatican.

You know, they are the best at concealing their aura among the court mages!

I was hiding in that corner just now, but I didn’t expect that the Holy Son of the Vatican would turn around and buy two pies near them!

two!

Isn't this hinting at something?

The Chief is right, this Holy Son is truly terrifying.

"How long do we have to wait here?"

"I don't know, but I guess he will be back soon."

"What do you think the Holy Son of the Church is going to do now?"

"I guess that maybe the military drove away the civilians from the nearby farms in order to collect fish from the river for the New Year's Festival, which made him unhappy. So now they are here to warn him?"

"Smart, brother. I think so too."

Chapter 162 Come and slack off!

This winter outing was not like the ones in the novels that Cardinson had read, where some weird supporting characters would pop up and cause trouble just waiting for you to step on them, and your good mood would be ruined.

No.

All I can say is that the years are peaceful.

Those powerful young men and women who could ride horses in the imperial capital were reluctant to go out in this kind of weather, let alone cause trouble for Cardinson.

Even if they get close, they will probably be chased back by people from various forces. If they really piss off Cardinson and give him a chance to cause trouble, then they are doomed, right?

So, the morning and afternoon of Cardinson and Tina's first date passed happily.

In the afternoon, Cardinson set up a small tent next to the canal, lit a fire, let Tina keep warm there, and ran to the ice to chisel fishing.

As we all know, severe winter causes thick ice to form on the surface of the river, reducing the oxygen under the water surface. As long as you make a hole on the river surface, you don't even need to dig a nest. If you are lucky, a group of fish will swarm in within a few minutes, calling it breathing fresh air.

Cardinson grew up in the city and had never seen the specific operation, but he had heard about it a lot. Today, he was in the mood and decided to try it himself.

"Be careful, Mr. Knight—"

Tina curled up like a small ball and squatted there to warm herself by the fire. She put her hands to her mouth to make a trumpet shape and shouted to Cardinson on the ice.

"Don't worry." Cardinson smiled at her, indicating that everything was safe here.

The specific heat capacity of water is high, but as long as the weather is cold enough, it will freeze really quickly.

According to Cardinson's current estimate, the water level in the moat is no less than three meters and it is already frozen solid. The further south the canal goes, the shallower the freeze will be. But this is the central region, a central plain where one could easily cross by simply wearing a cotton coat as long as it wasn't too cold in previous years.

As far as the imperial capital is concerned, the temperature is at least around minus 30 degrees Celsius, which has never happened in previous years.

Cardinson couldn't even imagine how cold it would be in the north. The information given by the graduate school now is that this is already the coldest winter in a hundred years, and it is not ruled out that it will develop into the coldest winter in a thousand years. That is when the real nightmare will begin.

The northern diocese of the Holy See has also reported that it is organizing manpower to rescue the victims who have begun to appear in large numbers, and is requesting more material support.

Snow County is so big, but it cannot be managed by the people in the parish alone.

Even so, the Vatican still made a decisive decision and asked three strong men who had reached the second level, César, Graham, and Winnie, to wear rings with the largest storage space and run two more laps to deliver the supplies to the branches in need as quickly as possible.

The Holy See is the only one in the world that can legitimately dispatch second-level strongmen to be deliverymen. All other forces worship them like ancestors.

Cardinson's mind has been a little confused recently, so he thought about going out and playing with Tina.

He planned to go north after the New Year. His Holiness the Pope would probably come out of seclusion tomorrow as well. Then he would see what God's will was.

"Oh, there are so many things to do."

Cardinson took out the Frostfire. This longsword could exert its strongest combat power in this kind of weather. Especially since the people of the Holy See added some star meteorite gold and other precious materials into it, directly raising the level to the top of the epic level, and the quality was not far from the legendary level.

Have you ever seen tofu being cut?

When the Frostfire pierced into the ice, there was no resistance at all, and the long sword sank directly under the ice.

Cardinson gave a clear shout, and the cloud fire stone inlaid on the frost fire lit up with a faint red light. A red line flashed under the ice, and a hole leading directly to the water disappeared in an instant, about the size of a washbasin.

He took a look inside and saw that it was really three meters deep. No wonder the military didn't mention anything about breaking the ice this year. They didn't care if they couldn't make money from the merchant ships. The worst that could happen was that they would just tighten their belts during the New Year.

After putting the Frostfire back into the storage ring, Cardinson took out a small bag of fish bait, about three or two taels, which was made from a mixture of corn flour, wheat flour and some special spices, specially designed for freshwater fish.

The knight brother who gave this thing to him proudly said that this was the secret weapon of his family's fishing for five generations, and that he was willing to give it out only for the sake of the Son of God. This thing was not easy to make, and his family only had a few kilograms in stock each year.

Cardinson tried to pour some water into the water, and after waiting patiently for a while, he found that there was no movement. He wondered if that brother was lying to him.

Then he poured all the bait in the bag.

"Gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp!"

It was as if a leading fish had issued an order to charge. With a bang, a large number of fish came from all directions, scrambling to drill into the hole dug by Cardinson.

If the ice wasn't so thick, Cardinson would have seen at least a dozen fish jumping out and landing at his feet.

Tina came over at some point and exclaimed from behind, "So many fish!"

"Your Highness, don't run around. It's very cold." The reason why Cardinson asked her to stay over there with a fire was because he might not be able to take care of her when he was fishing. What if she got frozen?

Tina consciously got into his arms and whispered, "I want to see it too."

"Okay, okay, then watch." Cardinson hugged her lovingly and snapped his fingers.

"Clap."

A stupid black fish flew out from the pit, rolled on the ground and struggled desperately, with a strange light flashing in its white pupils. No, it was frozen solid after moving twice, and turned into a dead fish on the ice.

Cardinson snapped his fingers three times in a row, picked out the luckiest fish under the ice, and pulled it onto the ice surface with his divine power.
