Under the influence of double perception, she quickly found the blacksmith shop. When she saw the lean dwarf who was forging iron, she waved and said: "Uncle dwarf, where are my things!?"
"It's ready, come and get it!"
The dwarf blacksmith roared, and Lorenno also obtained two handaxes from the apprentice. Looking at the patterns on them, he decided to enchant Connie.
With the hand ax stuck in his waist, Lorenno looked curiously at the calm street and asked, "Didn't I say that the celebration of Broadleaf Country is about to begin? Where are the druids?"
"Don't talk about it," the blacksmith apprentice complained. "Recently, for some reason, there was a sudden sandstorm outside. It has been going on for several days. Whether the Druid can come over or not is a question."
He was about to continue talking when the dwarf blacksmith roared and immediately made the apprentice shrink back and run to the blacksmith. Lorenno shrugged and left the blacksmith shop.
Went to a flower tea shop and sat down to rest.
After ordering a cup of scented tea, Lorenno sat by the window and squinted to gather information, and soon got some news that surprised her.
"It's almost the Broadleaf Festival again, and I don't know if the Druid sect can still arrive on time." "They are Druids. They will definitely be able to arrive. It just depends on the length of time."
"By the way, have you heard that a famous mercenary has come to our Kuanye Country, but he will be leaving soon and doesn't seem to plan to stay any longer."
"Ha, what kind of famous mercenary? By the way, mercenaries are just like that no matter how famous they are."
"Oh, this time is different. It is said that the leader is a popular mercenary. Her name seems to be [Blood-Sipping Beast]!"
"[Blood-Sipping Beast]...that [Blood-Sipping Beast] Mayin?"
Bloodsucker?Mayin?Could it be...
Lorenno pricked up her ears slightly. From the conversation of the guests, she learned that the mercenary was in a chamber of commerce at this time. After thinking for a moment, the half-elf girl decided to go over and have a look, feeling a little expectant in her heart.
When they arrived near the Chamber of Commerce, a loud noise suddenly came from inside the Chamber of Commerce stronghold. The half-elf girl's eyes widened and she raised her palms to feel the fluctuations of spiritual energy, but she did not feel the divine power.
A woman broke through the wall of the Chamber of Commerce and rolled around on the ground several times. Lorenno restrained his spiritual power, and another woman walked out of the wall, her scarlet hair and pupils shining in the sun, but——
Her face was covered with scars, the purple energy was constantly corroding her face, and her vitality was repairing, and the two were in a stalemate.
Not only her cheeks, but also the exposed skin was like this, but even if it was covered with scars, everyone could see the natural beauty of this girl.
is her.
Feeling the familiar fluctuations, Lorenno looked at the tall girl, who was about 1 meters tall, and confirmed that this was Majinus Imperialis, who was about 75 years old. The blood on her waist was from before the recast. of.
It seems that it is not the one that is commonly used now, but a giant sword. Lorenno also found that Her Majesty the Queen's strength seems to be inferior to hers at this time.
The woman who landed struggled to stand up, looked at Maginus, grabbed the sword and rushed forward, leaving a trail of smoke behind her.
Looking at the woman charging towards him, Majnus held the giant sword with both hands and slashed at an extremely fast speed. At the same time, Lorenno felt the spiritual energy fluctuations, and a faint red light flowed on the giant sword.
The giant sword collided with the long sword. The quality of the long sword was quite good and it successfully withstood the attack, but it was difficult to pour out the huge force and psychic energy.
The surrounding onlookers only felt their hearts beating slightly faster for a moment. The face of the woman who was hit by the psychic energy suddenly turned red. She spurted out blood due to the excitement of her energy and blood, and her hands suddenly lost their strength.
The giant sword hit the woman's body hard, and the purple light emitted by the scars on the surface of Majinus' body became brighter and brighter with her strength. When the woman was knocked away, the young Majinus put down his arm, and the purple light dimmed again. .
【Return to anger】!
"Go to hell, the Chamber of Commerce is mine!"
The woman in the smoke was still unwilling to give up, and used her life force to recover from her injuries, and rushed towards Maginus again. Seeing this, she held the giant sword with one hand and pulled the sword back. The muscles in her right arm bulged, and her full blood instantly rose. , dyeing the entire arm and giant sword blood.
The next moment, Majnus arrived first. The huge sword carried the blood-colored mist and fought with the long sword. The woman felt as if she had been hit by a battering ram and was embedded in the ground.
Approaching the woman who was unable to get up, the expressionless Majinus raised his giant sword and was about to smash it down. An exclamation came from behind her: "Main, please be merciful!"
The sword edge stopped only about one centimeter away from the woman. Majnus retracted the sword and turned around and said, "Don't you need me to kill her?"
A man wearing a monocle walked out of the Chamber of Commerce and sighed: "She is still my aunt no matter what."
"Really? I hope you won't regret doing this."
The woman who was beaten to the ground was taken back by personnel from the Chamber of Commerce. The man with glasses assured those who suffered losses due to the battle that the Chamber of Commerce would be responsible for all compensation.
Magnus showed a repulsive temperament, nodded slightly to the man wearing a monocle, and then re-entered the chamber of commerce. The man with glasses followed, and the sound of the two talking to Loren was heard. Nuo heard: "I'll leave tomorrow."
"What do you need from me?"
"The original conditions were good, don't forget them."
"Don't worry, I don't dare to owe money to an army."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Lorenno was curious about what Her Majesty the Queen was doing during this period. Unfortunately, she had her own affairs to attend to, so she left the chamber of commerce when there was nothing left to do and went to collect intelligence according to the scheduled procedures.
Chapter 764: Know the hidden plot and recruit hidden characters first
After walking around the Kuanye Country, Lorenno also roughly understood the structure here. The outermost part is the most desolate place in this desert country. Many slaves and poor people live here, and even drinking water is a problem.
Every broadleaf celebration is an opportunity for them to become ordinary citizens. Even if they fail, they can still have a good meal. These slaves and poor people who belong to the country will be forcibly recruited. They have to cooperate with the Druid in the trial and assist the Druid. Expanding vegetation.
Each sect can reward slaves or paupers who cooperate with them. Those who are rewarded will be able to escape slavery.
With their citizenship or the brand of poor people, they become ordinary people, and these ordinary people, as well as some other selected slaves and civilians, will live in the new area that has just been planted.
This is how Kuanye Kingdom continued to expand. As for the remaining slaves and poor people who were not selected, they naturally moved further outside and continued to live the same life until they died of old age.
But what is strange about Lorenno is that she has already checked the number of people in the slums. The druid should be able to expand a large area for people to use. It is more than enough to make everyone in the slums civilians.
[Of course, the middlemen make the difference. It’s not like you haven’t seen the land annexation problem before. When the Druids expand to another circle, the people in the innermost circle can get the land in the second circle, and in the second circle they have to take the third. The circle of land is passed on in turn. 】
Aya reminded her sister that in this country with a deformed system, only the aristocratic circle and the temple circle are expanding. The expansion of the civilian circle may be possible but extremely slow.
Lorenno turned to look at the center of Kuanye Country, where there were extremely splendid buildings.
The half-elf girl stretched a little and felt a little sad about the deformed system. She turned and walked towards her home. When she passed the defense line of the inner and outer circles, she saw an unexpected person.
Majnus was sitting on a stone on the defensive line, staring at the slaves and poor people outside the circle, and from time to time she would take out her water bottle and take a sip. No one could tell what she was thinking.
Seemingly noticing Lorenno's gaze, the subjugated princess, who was in the same or even more difficult situation than Connie, turned to look at her with a confused but wary look.
On the one hand, it is the sense of closeness brought about by similar psychic energy fluctuations, and on the other hand, it is the unwillingness to trust the minds of others after so many years. Regarding the inexplicable sense of closeness, Majnus first doubted whether there was someone on the other side. Cast charm spells.
Lorenno did not step forward to ask any more questions. He just nodded lightly and walked into the city. The princess of the country did not catch up. Anyway, she would leave tomorrow and there was no need to worry about these things.
……
Back at their current home, the three of them shared their findings. As a mage, Connie easily entered the noble area and conducted detection there, while Vita went to the library of Broadleaf Kingdom to scan books.
After a day of investigation, Connie discovered that there were more than just the three of them in Kuanye, and there were others, but none of them were druids, and those druids had not yet entered the field.
"Vita, were there sandstorms in the original history?"
Lorenno asked Vita that there was something wrong with the sandstorm that had been spinning for a long time. The half-elf girl could feel the magic in it. Vita shook his head and told the two of them: "Master, the sandstorm did not exist in the original history."
Then it is very likely that it was a chain reaction caused by the trialists. Someone has even found the reason for the destruction of Kuanye Kingdom?
Making a reasonable guess, Lorenno thought of the young Her Majesty the Queen and quickly asked Vita about her movements. The construct girl searched her memory and said:
"In the original history, Her Majesty the Queen left the day after sending the president of the Jindi Chamber of Commerce to Kuanye Country, but now that there is a sandstorm, she may not leave so early."
After hearing the news, Lorenno knew that all history might be changed. The three of them discussed countermeasures, and finally Connie came up with a solution. Since the druids hadn't arrived yet, the three of them had to find a way to gain a foothold. Inquire about the information so that the people from the Gray Forest Sect can take advantage of it when they come.
"Arnold, do you think Her Majesty the Queen is weaker than you at this time?"
Connie asked about Majnus and was curious about her current situation. Lorenno explained:
"That's true from my sense of danger, and I'm better in terms of vitality. The most important thing is that I don't feel the divinity in Her Majesty the Queen. This may be the only mistake in this fictional land."
"But only a little weaker than you?"
"Well, at most he's only a little weaker than me."
"Then find a way to hire her," Connie clapped her hands and put forward her own idea, "Her Majesty the Queen is a mercenary now. As long as the price is enough, she will definitely be hired. If other trialists know that Her Majesty is here, they might I will try it too.”
"...Okay, I'll try, but there's no guarantee of success." The half-elf girl nodded.
……
At noon the next day, Lorenno guessed that Maginus already knew about the huge sandstorm. After walking to the Chamber of Commerce, he found a small stall and sat down. He ordered some food and waited for her, but after a long while Didn't even see her appear.
"It's strange, where have people gone?"
Lorenno closed his eyes to activate plant perception and psychic perception. Being noticed by Majnus would definitely lead to many misunderstandings.
Through plant perception, the half-elf girl found the location of Majinus. The subjugated princess was still sitting on the big rock from yesterday, looking in the direction of the slum circle.
Lorenno rushed there, and Majnus looked over sideways, with his hand already on the giant sword. The half-elf girl put forward her commission directly: "Miss Main, my employer wants you to protect us. The price is good. discuss."
"Entrust me, please tell me carefully."
Without letting go of his right hand holding the giant sword, Majnus turned around and spoke condescendingly. Lorenno carefully and mysteriously spoke the prepared lines:
"My employer is a mage who is proficient in prophecy. She discovered that the Kuanye Kingdom will be destroyed after the celebration. Now this extremely abnormal sandstorm is a recruitment, so I want to ask you, who is famous, to help."
"Why doesn't it work?
I know Kuan Ye Guo Gao..."
Majnus originally wanted to ask why the senior officials of Kuanye Kingdom were not notified, but she quickly thought of those nobles who were in high positions and only enjoyed themselves without giving, and immediately shut her mouth.
Seeing that the princess of the country still had doubts, Lorenno took out the Immortal Sword. The moment he saw the Immortal Sword, Maginus immediately gained a little more trust in Lorenno, stood up from the stone and said: "Let's go, wait until I see you." Let’s talk in person.”
"it is good."
One big and one small, one beautiful and one ugly. The two of them walked on the street and attracted a lot of attention. They were extremely shocked by their appearance. Majnus looked at Lorenno's face from time to time and couldn't help but ask. : "Have I seen you somewhere? I always feel that you have a sense of intimacy."
"It's my special ability that makes people who don't have any ill intentions automatically develop a favorable impression of me."
Chapter 765 Contact
Lorenno and Majnus walked into a quiet flower tea shop. The customers here were a little frightened when they saw the tall Majnus with a giant sword. She frowned slightly and put the giant sword into her dimensional bag. .
"Arnold, this way."
Connie waved slightly at a table, and her eyes narrowed slightly when she saw the purple energy residue on Majnus's body. She seemed to be trying to figure out why it was left behind, and at the same time she was very curious about the young Queen.
Majnus sat across from the three of them, his thighs subconsciously held together, and then he spread them apart, leaning back on the chair with a straight back: "I am Mayin, the [blood-sucking beast] you often call her."
"Tell me, is this kingdom really going to be destroyed?"
"My name is Connie. You already know me. This is also my servant, Vita."
After introducing herself, Connie pretended to be indifferent, which made Majnus feel that "she didn't think she understood": "Yes, something caused this sandstorm, and then I predicted the destruction of Broadleaf Country."
"The prophecy may not be correct." Majnus disagreed.
Connie nodded lightly: "I know, so I did something more accurate and made prophecies for the residents in the area near my home to confirm their death dates."
Majnus was silent for a moment, then stretched out his hand to touch the part of his body that glowed with purple fluorescence: "What's the result?"
She has realized that if the prophecy for a country is inaccurate, the death prophecy for ordinary people will definitely be fulfilled, and if the death dates of these ordinary people are exactly the same...
"They all died on the same day, so I wanted to ask you to protect me."
"You can't use advanced teleportation to escape?"
Majnus asked curiously, and Connie said calmly: "It's because I can escape with advanced teleportation that I stay here."
In fact, Connie is not confident about this. Judging from the fact that the outside world does not know the information about Kuanye Kingdom, I am afraid that the casters have no way to escape at that time, and the entire space has been blocked, so they all died.
"…What about the price?"
Majnus already believed most of it, but since she wanted to protect the mage, she still had to collect money.
"Arnold."
Lorenno threw a dimensional bag to Her Majesty the Queen. Majnus opened it and his eyes lit up. Connie struck while the iron was hot: "If a destruction event really happens and the space is blocked and we can't escape, if you take me away successfully, I I’ll give you twice as much.”
"it is good."
Majnus agreed decisively, put away the bag and looked at Connie: "Do you need my personal protection?"
"No need, just wait until things happen to meet again."
Connie could see the wariness in Majinus's eyes. This was not a good opportunity for her to join. Only when something big happened to increase her credibility could the vigilant princess of the subjugated country trust her.
After Her Majesty the Queen stood up and left, Vita said: "The empire's documents are vague about the traces of purple energy on the Queen's body at this time. The initial judgment seems to be some kind of curse, which needs to be slowly consumed by her own life force."
When the three of them were talking to Majnus, they would inevitably glance at the purple lines on her body, but Majnus didn't care about it.
Through observation, Connie and Vita discovered that those purple lines were some kind of high-energy residue, which was eroding Majinus' body all the time. Similar to a person who was hit by energy-absorbing spells, if she hadn't been physically strong, she would have been killed long ago. died.
In addition to those scars, there are also crack-like traces around the scars. At this time, Her Majesty the Queen's skin is like cracked porcelain. It looks like it may break into many pieces with a slight touch.
"Alas," Connie sighed slightly as she watched Majnus leave, "I am indeed very lucky, compared to Her Majesty the Queen."
"What's next? Have you contacted the nobles over there?"
Lorenno didn't answer and asked Connie about the situation there. Connie nodded and said, "Well, I found the noble in the diary and learned from him the information about the land allocated to the Gray Forest Sect. .”
