Chapter 428 Luo Wei's Big Hand

The next morning, Luo Wei came out of the tent with a slap mark that had already faded.

"..."

The first half went smoothly, but for some reason, she hit him hard when it came to unbuttoning the buttons, and then jumped to the side in anger and cursed him for being vulgar and shameless.

Although in the end I still let him hold me for a night.

Strange... did she know something?
After breakfast, Lovely inspected the territory accompanied by Atetana. The others who loved to join in the fun naturally would not miss it. Anaining rushed out the door with her sister without even finishing her meal.

Luo Wei was also pulled in by Weimir and Luyi. If nothing unexpected happens, he will also go to Baigang Town today.

I haven't been back for nearly two months, and the valley has changed a lot.

The stone brick houses have been built. The terrain in the tribal territory is not suitable for building flat urban areas and streets, but the rows of gray houses that surround it also have a residential atmosphere. There are more orcs coming and going than before.

There were even shops.

It is said that the owner of the store was once a slave following a human merchant. After being redeemed by the tribe, his biggest dream is to open a store of his own in the future. The goods currently sold in the store do not have a stable channel, but there are many varieties, including food, which are basically new and interesting things purchased from traveling merchants in Baigang Town, and barter is supported.

In addition, there is also a grilled fish thatched hut run by a cat lady. Every fish is guaranteed to be brought back by the proprietress herself from Bowang Lake in the south.

Speaking of this, the water conservancy project that John had originally planned has been put into use. After the reservoir was built in the south to draw water, water source is no longer a headache for the valley. Reclaimed farmland can also be seen in the sunny side, where improved rice is being planted on trial, and green tips have already emerged. The valley is so important that someone has to guard it 24 hours a day.

"A few days ago, there was a blonde girl who came out to pull weeds every night, but she didn't scare us..."

"Eh?"

Listening to the conversation between the old orc aunt and Vimir, Luo Wei saw a signboard standing nearby, on which was a picture of an angry girl and growing rice, with a striking red cross in the middle.

“Pfft,” Lu Yi laughed at the side, “Is this a painting of Saya? Hahaha!!”

"Well……"

It’s hard to say much about Vimir, but... she looks quite similar...

"Just now there was a strange white-haired girl," the old man continued, "who was shouting that she wanted to add a slogan to this board, but was dragged away by another black-haired girl."

"Ah ha ha……"

They are still the same as always.

Vimir was quite concerned about what was discussed in the tent yesterday. She didn’t expect so many things to happen behind the scenes in this world. She felt like there was a dark cloud hanging over the world before it even started.

but……

She turned to Luo Wei. Seeing him here made her feel at ease for some reason, and she was convinced that her fate had long been tied to this "starless man".

Luo Wei stroked his chin and looked at the abstract sketch, and gave his own suggestion: "For each tree pulled out, the fee is one forest, which I think is quite appropriate."

Vermeer: ​​"..."

Above the narrow path not far away.

"Sister...why did you stand up and stop Shaye yesterday?"

The two sisters were walking on the rugged high ground. Ayining wanted to take her sister to familiarize herself with the environment, but she chose to walk towards a sparsely populated area.

How could a place like this hide you from the demon god and let you kill him...

"Hmm?" Anaining said casually while holding a piece of dry grass in her mouth, "There's no special reason. Hasn't Luo Wei been with us all this time?"

"Just because of this?"

"Wouldn't it be good to have him spend more time with us?" An Ning smiled as she stood on the cliff and looked around. "Luo Wei always comes up with very interesting ideas. Isn't Ai happy with him?"

“Well, that’s not the case…”

Ayining looked down.

Why am I talking about this with my sister...

"That's right," An Ning turned around with a smile, her white hair fluttering in the wind at the edge of the cliff. "I'm still waiting for Luo Wei to make me famous, so it's only right that I treat him better."

"..."

My sister's thoughts are sometimes hard to understand.

The next target is Lion Garden Royal City. I really hope she can be a little more restrained there. The Fifth Princess wants to take back her power, and I'm sure many forces will not remain indifferent.

The inside story of the Third World...If Gui Wu Hai, Destiny Star and the birth of the Third World are related, it is only natural that there is a connection between them.

The corresponding arrangements had been sent out on the way back here. No matter how bold his and Lovely's decision was, it was foreseeable that -

I'm afraid that a bloody storm is about to break out in the Lion Garden Royal City.

in the afternoon.

Leaving Luyi, who was as excited as a wild horse, to Ayining, Luo Wei and Weimir walked on the streets of White Harbor Town.

The cobblestone road with the imprint of wheel tracks, the creaking waterwheel beside the stone bridge, and the adventurers traveling together.

The leisurely atmosphere of the small town seemed to have never changed. Even the wind carried the scent of fields and grass. Even Luo Wei could recognize that the uncle on the street whose name he didn't remember was definitely bragging about his adventure stories in the ruins again. Even after a year, he still hadn't gotten tired of telling them.

"Hehehe..." Vimir showed a silly smile as soon as she came back, which made Luo Wei feel that this was worthy of being the town that raised her.

"I haven't been back for a while," she said with a smile, her steps becoming lighter. "Does Luo Wei feel good about being back?"

"There are dozens, if not hundreds, of small towns like Shiyuan."

"Hmm... so many..."

Not far away, an elf with a helpless look on his face was driving a carriage full of wine barrels. A dwarf was lying in the middle of the barrels, snoring loudly along the way.

Luo Wei paused and saw the owner of the flower shop nearby coming out of the shop door, watering the flowers with a kettle in one hand, his eyes looking elsewhere as usual.

"But there are some things here that cannot be compared anywhere else."

"Eh?" Weimir was a little confused, "What is it?"

Seeing that she didn't understand at all, Luo Wei turned around and gave her a helpless look, then walked forward alone.

“This is where we start,” he said at the front.

Vimir stood there in a daze for a moment, and when she reacted, her eyes quickly lit up.

She trotted after him, and seeing that there were not many people near the uphill road in front of the church, she did not want to interrupt the atmosphere in which he rarely said such words, and quietly took his hand.

hey-hey……

The gentle touch of the palm made Luo Wei's eyes relax, and you could tell how happy she was just from her actions.

This town can really relax both the body and the mind. The people in the town are very warm and simple. The adventurous life brought by the surrounding ruins does not make life too dull. It carries their memories. To be precise, it feels like the story starts from here.

"If you could do it again... would you still be willing to come and find me at that time?"

"..."

Luo Wei didn't say anything, but reached out and tapped her head.

Vimir covered her head and tilted her neck in confusion. Why did she feel like she was disgusted with her for asking questions?

“Come to think of it, even though we are here, the plan in the capital has already begun, right?” Vimir murmured, “I wonder how those people will react…”

Although they were so leisurely in Baigang Town, their plan for the royal capital had actually been executed on the way back. Like an arrow that would not turn back, it did not matter who it was pointing at when it landed. The important thing was to let everyone see who the arrow was shot from.

"It doesn't matter how they react." Luo Wei held her hand and looked forward. "We just need to clearly convey our attitude to them."

"Hmm...what's the attitude?"

Luo Wei watched the clouds in the sky slowly sinking towards the north.

"We are here to make them feel uneasy."

……

……

The capital of Lion Court, Melendel.

In the upper city's aristocratic district, in a three-story luxurious private villa.

Inside the house, a young woman wearing a wide-brimmed hat with black gauze and dressed in mysterious noblewoman clothing sat in front of a walnut desk, looking through the reports she had collected.

"Hehe..." I don't know what caused the woman to chuckle, but the letters in her hands seemed like some anecdotes.

"Her Highness the Fifth Princess instigated the Royal City Sheriff to arrest Count Londel on charges of colluding with the Hooffire Empire, setting fire to the Royal City three years ago, accepting a large amount of wealth from the mercenary group "Red Sand Brigade", and illegally trading in the Princess' subjects... Interesting."

Not to mention the last intriguing charge, the woman turned to another letter, and her skin under the silk black gauze gloves was white and flawless.

"The information about Count Londel's crime spread widely in the Lower City three days ago. The evidence was so detailed and the hiding place was so clear that almost half of the people in the royal city knew there was a secret passage under the Count's bed. That night, the Count's knights were seen going in and out in a panic. The sheriff had no choice but to arrest them due to pressure... It is said that when they came out of the mansion, both the Count and the sheriff had livid faces."

The woman slowly put down the letter in her hand, leaned back and looked towards the window.

"Haha, what an interesting method. The Fifth Princess should be a million miles away from the capital right now, but she mobilized the Royal City Security Corps without any effort," she said slowly, looking at the blonde figure standing by the window. "The Fifth Princess threatened to come back in person to judge. What do you think?"

The person by the window: "..."

Looking down at the endless streets below, the young man standing there stood tall and unmoved, wearing a gorgeous and precious sword under his lion's golden cloak.

"Tell me some useful information, Scarlett," the man said coldly, "What is the reaction from the Prime Minister?"

"As for the Prime Minister, I'm afraid he knew about it before the night of the incident," Scarlett changed her sitting posture at the desk, with long black curly hair under the brim of her hat, "but he didn't make any moves, and instead seemed a little happy."

"Happy?"

"That's right..." Scarlett gently held her chin with one hand, "It is said that on the night of the incident, the Prime Minister opened a bottle of wine in his own mansion."

"whispering sound."

The man made a sound of obvious displeasure.

Scarlett did not go deeper into this topic. Except for the celebration banquet for victory, Prime Minister Randall Osborne rarely left people with the impression of drinking. Although he himself never said anything like leading by example, there were still many knights who took him as an example.

"Remember the champion swordsman beside the fifth princess that I mentioned to you?" Scarlett said.

"You mean that loser surrounded by women? Now that I've done the investigation, I don't want to hear the name of this unknown civilian appear in my ears a second time."

"But in this matter, Your Highness the Fifth Princess..." Scarlett paused, "Your sister Lovely is slightly out of her usual style."

The blond young man: "..."

After a brief pause, the man withdrew his gaze from the window and walked across the room.

"Don't confuse me with that mediocre person born out of wedlock. I will prove to the chancellor who is the monarch he deserves to serve and assist."

"I can understand that," Scarlett lowered her head and didn't look directly at the other person's face, "Do you want me to hinder the Fifth Princess's trip in the capital, Your Highness the Second Prince?"

The blond, blue-eyed, and imposing young man stopped at the door.

"Yes."

Hearing the sound of the knight closing the door and looking in the direction the second prince left, Scarlett slowly raised her head and smiled faintly.

It looks like something has been done.

Rowe Brook...haha, I hope he's a good man.

……

Senkamanda, free ground defense line.

Nejie, dressed in a long green dress, walked hurriedly, which was unusual for her. She crossed the battle point where the two sides were divided in the forest and went straight to the camp of the Military Temple.

At the end of a hillside, she found the Holy Lady Xiaoguang alone.

"Elida?" Nejie lifted her skirt and looked at her from behind, her tone puzzled, "We have just advanced to the defense lines of several areas, why are your troops setting up camp and not moving?"

Elida did not answer, but handed over the letter in her hand.

Nejie stepped forward to take it and quickly glanced through it.

"This..." She frowned, "This has nothing to do with the war situation here, right?"

"Read the second half of the letter."

Nejie lowered her head and read it again. This was a public declaration letter sent to the entire continent. It came from the fifth princess of Lion Garden who had recently gone to the Lehman Code Kingdom. It was saying that she would host the 9th Youth Elite Competition in Melendel, the capital of Lion Garden.

In the second half of the letter, there is this passage:

"Here, in the name of the orthodox royal family of Lion Garden, I invite my distinguished ally, the leader of the Senkamanda Theocracy, the White Witch, to come to the Lion Garden capital Melendel to watch this continental-level competition with me..."

Nejie: ​​“…”

She could hardly maintain her nonchalant attitude and looked up at Elida in disbelief.

"You are not planning to withdraw from the battlefield just because of a letter, are you?"

"That's not the problem," Elida answered her indifferently, "I have my concerns."

"..."

Nejie found it a little hard to accept.

After all, this really has something to do with her. Didn't the Fifth Princess of Lion Garden go to Liriman some time ago and form an alliance with Senkamanda? When did it happen?
After thinking for a moment, Nejie restrained her expression, which was unusual for her: "I heard that the Fifth Princess had long since left the power center, and that the actions of the Lion Court were controlled by the Prime Minister. Do you really believe that she can gain the right to speak if she returns to the capital at this time?"

"But if she succeeds, we will now be attacking the allies of Lion Garden." Elida opened her eyes coldly.

"...!"

Nejie lowered her head and looked around, and suddenly she felt like she was being played around by someone, and she clearly felt that she was being ambushed.

Otherwise, it would be too much of a coincidence. Why did they choose to announce it at this time instead of earlier?

She had to say—she hated this feeling.

"After all, the blood of the prime minister is not from the royal family of Lion Garden," Elida said, looking at the forest in front of her. "The Fifth Princess wrote a letter like this. Her intention should not be too obvious."

"That's only a very low possibility, right?" Nejie argued, "Didn't we agree on that?"

She didn't understand why she was being targeted?

Who and why?
When she heard the news that the Military Temple had stationed troops at the original site, she realized that something was wrong and it would be difficult to maintain her balance. She had never encountered such a thing since she became a saint. It was like someone had taught her a good lesson.

Nejie had also heard of the Prime Minister of the Lion Garden. He was a dangerous person just by hearing about his deeds. How could such a person allow the Fifth Princess to take control so easily?

At this time, Elida turned around and looked at Nejie deeply.

"Do you remember what happened to Lezhiman before?"

Looking at her eyes, Nejie took a few seconds to react and took a step back unconsciously.

"You mean... the ordination of the Saint?"

Her eyes widened slightly. The five princesses brought back a saint like them from the Holy City of Liriman?
There was actually such a connection when I went to Lehman?
"Since the Prime Minister of the Lion Court can support the Saint of the Military Temple, he can naturally support the one brought back by the princess of our country," Elida said coldly, "We will need the support of the Lion Court in the future. I can't take such a risk."

She shook her head, indicating that the matter was not negotiable.

If he were to become an enemy of Lion Garden, the Prime Minister would have a legitimate reason to side with another saint.

Elida does not tolerate failure.

Attacking Senkamanda was Saint Qinyin's own business. She would not lose her original support in exchange for the support of the Sun God Cult to help her advance.

At least not now.

Nejie: ​​“…”

"Don't you consider my perspective at all?"

"During this period, all the supplies for your army will be provided by the Military Temple," Elida seemed to have thought it through long ago, leaving her no room for retreat. "Before the results come out, the Military Temple cannot help you send troops."

Nejie stood there speechless for a moment, her eyes slightly surprised.

"Are you just going to wait here for the result?"

"of course not."

Elida responded calmly to Nejie's words and shook her head.

Then she gradually turned her gaze into the distance, and her eyes became firm.

"In order to witness the direction of this matter - I will go to the Lion Garden Capital myself."
