Chapter 3268 Siege
"I reject."
Facing Irva's words, Ellie decisively refused. They were willing to help Lord Galen before because the other party provided them with identification documents in return for investigating child trafficking. For Ellie, the most important thing right now is to clear the seven mazes, and there are still five left... There is no time to waste here.
"........."
Hearing Ellie's answer, Irva's expression was slightly stiff, and then he coughed.
"Is this okay? You must know that those nobles who died have considerable influence in the kingdom. If this matter is spread, it will not be good for you."
"This matter has nothing to do with us, or do you have evidence to prove it?"
Ellie certainly wouldn't back down.
"But having said that, the majestic Foss is not only a commercial center, but even engages in child trafficking. If this matter is spread, it will be troublesome for you."
"Uh……………"
Hearing this, Irva had nothing to say. As Ellie said, there are reports of children being abducted and disappeared everywhere in the entire Barbagia Kingdom, including some nobles. If they knew that Foss was the center of this matter, then... would be a big problem!
By the way, in fact, Ellie's words just now are not self-inflicted, but both sides are actually well aware of this, so the verbal confrontation is simply used to gain an advantage for themselves. Originally, Irva hoped to use this to sell Ai Li and others a favor, and at the same time hoped that they would do him a favor, but he didn't expect that Ai Li would not eat soft and hard things at all, and would not eat oil and salt. It's no wonder that they are not from this world. Ellie's only goal now is to open a channel to find trouble at the core of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, and she is not in the mood to care about the lives of people in this world.
Although Irva's previous remarks hinted that the Adventurer's Guild could help Ellie resist the malice from the nobles, Ellie didn't care about it at all, she didn't care. Come whoever is not afraid of death, let's see who is afraid of whom?
In fact, it is Foss who is passive in this matter now, because Foss is a neutral commercial city, and the most feared thing is to be intervened in its own jurisdiction with excuses. If things like the children of the children spread out, then both the royal family and the local nobles will try their best to intervene. At that time, the neutral position of Foss will be in jeopardy. In the worst case, even the autonomy will be taken away... ...
"I see."
Until then, Yirva had recognized the strength gap between the two sides, so he had no choice but to bow his head.
"Then, since everyone has nothing to do with this matter, I'm being rude... I will try my best to investigate, restore the truth of the incident as much as possible, and find out the reason."
"Hope you guys can sort this out."
Ellie stood up, smiling.
"We also hope to get a satisfactory result."
It wasn't until Ellie's figure disappeared from behind the door that Irva sighed and leaned back on the chair.
"What a tricky person......"
While muttering to himself, Irva shook his head.
Originally, when meeting Ellie, Irva still wanted to take advantage of the other party's mind. In his opinion, even if this kind of little girl has outstanding strength, it is impossible for her to have much insight. In fact, after looking at the wreckage of the blasting venue yesterday, Irva thought so too. In his opinion, this group of adventurers must have seen a child being trafficked and made such a move out of anger, which is naive And simple type.
In this way, as long as Irva states his interests and uses some methods, he should be able to tie him with himself and the others, or at least bring their relationship closer.
But what Irva didn't expect was that the girl named Ellie who led them was not as easy to deal with as he imagined. She not only had a clear understanding of the situation in front of her, but even Foss's own status and The political losses have already been calculated, and what makes Irva even more troublesome is that the other party doesn't seem to care, looking lawless.
Coupled with the fact that they have successfully conquered the sixty-fifth floor of the Great Labyrinth, it can be confirmed that these girls are very clear about what they are doing, and they don't care about the disadvantages it will bring, and they have enough strength and confidence to face everything trouble.
In this way, the wooing and threats prepared by Irva are useless, not to mention that the other party is not powerless to fight back. As Ellie said, there are frequent kidnappings against children in the Kingdom of Balbagia. Once the other party spreads this matter, it means that the status of Foss as a neutral commercial city is in jeopardy...
So in the end, Yirva could only bow his head and admit his cowardice, and sign an unsigned truce agreement with the other party. Not only that, but he also had to work hard to clean up the mess...
But in any case, at least the purpose of the exchange was achieved. The other party was an adventurer with legendary strength that had never appeared before. As long as they still have this level of status, it can be regarded as a blood profit for the Adventurer's Guild. Thinking of this, Yirva also sighed and stopped talking.
I hope they won't cause any trouble here again.
After having a cordial and friendly conversation with President Irva, Ellie returned to the hotel. When she walked into the room, the first thing she saw was the sea-human girl who was playing with Nana.
"Ah, Miss Ellie!!"
Seeing Ellie's return, the girl from the Sea People tribe showed a happy smile, stretched out her hand and ran towards Ellie, throwing herself into Ellie's arms.
"I'm back, is Myuu obedient?"
Looking at the girl in her arms, Ellie smiled and stretched out her hand, gently touching her little head. The latter also closed his eyes, enjoying Ellie's touch.
"Well, Myuu has always been obedient."
"Yes, Elder Sister Ellie, Xiao Miao is very obedient."
At this moment, Nana also came over, and happily stroked the hair of a sea-human girl named Myu. After yesterday's auction, although the other children were sent to the Adventurer's Association, only Myuu was brought back by Ellie. The reason is simple, Miao is a sea-human race, and the world's discrimination against sub-humans is deeply rooted, and the Shanghai-human race seems to be a very precious and rare species among sub-humans, so even if they are handed over to the other party, they may be captured again.
In addition, after asking Myuu, Ellie learned that the city where Myuu lives is located overseas, which happens to be on the blue sea to the east of Oludana. As long as she returns to the Valley of Thousand Flowers, she can be sent back directly, so Ellie also Bring her here directly.
As for Myuu himself, he seems to be quite close to Ellie, and he doesn't want to be separated from her at all. Of course, the other three girls also like her very much, especially Nana, who almost treats Myuu as her younger sister. As for Yue...... She wanted Myuu to call her mother, but Myuu said that she already had a mother, which shocked Yueda.
Of course, Nana is the happiest among them, because Xiao Miao is cute, well-behaved and obedient, she almost treats Xiao Miao as her own sister. It's no wonder, after all, Nana and Mengmeng are sisters, but because of the latter's dark belly, Nana can hardly hold her head up in front of Mengmeng, not to mention that Mengmeng's figure is much better than Nana's , and often used this to mock Nana.
In contrast, Xiao Miao is well-behaved, obedient and cute... Nana even thought about whether to simply replace her sister with Xiao Miao.
Of course, if Mengmeng knew about her idea, Nana would die.
"Get ready, let's go."
"Do you want to leave here?"
"Well, the matter has been resolved, and the Great Labyrinth has been cleared. Let's send Xiao Miao back to her mother first, and then go back to Wanhua Valley to see the situation. As for Lord John, I have already left a letter in the Adventurer's Guild to He should be fine."
After confirming that everything was ready, Allie left the hotel directly with everyone, and then flew into the sky.
Everyone was very happy along the way, but if I had to say it, Yue was a little unhappy, because of Xiao Miao, Yue had to give up her exclusive seat, and now the three of them were sitting on the broom as if they were sitting on a bicycle. Yue, who was originally huddled in Ellie's arms, had to sit in the back and put his arms around Ellie's waist, while Myuu sat in the front of Ellie's arms, and stretched out his hands to hold Ellie's clothes tightly. , eyes widened in surprise, looking at the surrounding scenery and shouting non-stop.
For the sea people living in the sea, it was the first time for Xiao Miao to fly so high in the sky, so he would naturally be very excited. Pointing here and there from time to time, asking other people.
"Sister Ellie, what is that?"
"That's the river."
"Huh? It looks as thin as a thread. Is that a mountain? Myuu used to think that the mountain was very high, but I didn't expect it to be so short... Ah, the human town looks like a toy house... ...!"
Seeing Miao's excited look in her arms, Ellie and Nana also breathed a sigh of relief. At first, they were worried about whether she would have any psychological shadow if she was snatched by humans and used as a slave trade, but now it doesn't seem to be a big deal. question.
At this moment, I saw Myu reaching out his hand out of curiosity again.
"Sister Ellie, what is that?"
"Oh, what is that.........?"
Looking in the direction of Miao's finger, Ellie was about to answer casually, but after seeing the situation over there, she was also taken aback for a moment.
Looking around, there was a flame rising into the sky not far below, thick smoke was billowing, and if you looked carefully, you could also see a large area of wriggling monsters moving forward. And in front of them is a town.
Monster siege?
This is really surprising.
Looking at the large number of monsters below, Ellie thought for a while, and finally decided... to go and see the situation.
But at this moment, outside the town, it is another scene.
"Why! This is why! Shimizu-san!!"
Standing on the high wall of the town, looking at the army of monsters surrounding the town, a short woman clenched her fists and shouted loudly while looking ahead. Her name is Hatayama Aiko, she is a teacher, and she is also one of the messengers sent to this world by the gods. She didn't want her students to fight in this different world.
She came here this time to find her missing student. Originally, Hatayama Aiko thought that something happened to her student, but she didn't expect that when they met again, they would turn out like this——her The students manipulated thousands of monsters to show up here, trying to destroy the town.
"Why did you do this? Whatever the reason, can you tell the teacher?"
"Huh? Why would I do such a thing?"
Standing on the head of the black dragon behind the group of monsters, the boy in a black robe twisted his face, staring at Aiko Hatayama and others on the city wall with haze.
"Is this still useful? Because you never take me seriously!"
"…………………Hey?"
"We have traveled to a different world, a different world! Logically speaking, shouldn't it be me at this time, the time when the most humble person in the class like me becomes a hero? But why is he still brilliant? !"
The boy waved his hands angrily and roared loudly, while Hatayama Aiko and the students around her were dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.
Shimizu Xingli was originally just an ordinary high school student, an autistic and introverted otaku. He knew that he had nothing special about him, so he immersed himself in novels about crossing different worlds every day, especially in novels about different worlds, those who were originally unknown, but after crossing, they can jump up and become the protagonists of brave and heroes , and became Shimizu Yukari's favorite.
Therefore, when he was really summoned and came to this world, Shimizu Yukari's first reaction was "Come on! It's time for my unparalleled world!"
Next, according to the routines of the other world light novels Shimizu Xingli has read, he will have unrivaled special abilities, even those who were once popular in the class will have to succumb to him, countless Beautiful women throw themselves into their arms and form a harem... It should have been like this!
However, the reality is cruel.
Even if he was teleported to another world, the one with the vocation of the brave is still the most popular Tianzhihe Guanghui in the class. And other people gathered around him as usual, and even though he gained the ability because of traveling through another world, he was still one of the humble passers-by.
This made Shimizu Xingli unacceptable, why? Why it came out like this? It's not like that in the novel! In novels, those who have no way to be proud in reality, shouldn't they be the protagonists of the different world? Why, why would a person like Tianzhihe Guanghui become the protagonist in another world!
It doesn't make sense at all!
That's right, this is not what I want, a reasonable different world. This is an unreasonable different world. I have to correct all of this and make this world the way I want it to be!
With this in mind, Shimizu Yuri got help from someone, and successfully used his skill "dark attribute magic" to brainwash and manipulate a large number of monsters, even the dragon succumbed to his grasp.
At this moment, Shimizu Xingli finally regained his confidence.
That's right, I am the protagonist, and this is the treatment that the protagonist who travels through different worlds should have!
"But for now, don't worry, Aiko-sensei."
Staring at the teacher and former classmates standing on the city gate, Shimizu Yukuri showed a sinister smile.
"I will show you who is the protagonist of this world, and I will use my magic to brainwash you all and turn you into my loyal servants... Hehehe..."
While talking, Shimizu Yukari stared at Aiko and the female students beside her. Although Aiko, the teacher, was in her twenties, she looked very young from the outside, and the girls around her were all A popular type in the class. When he thought that as long as he broke through this town, he could hold them all in his arms, use magic to completely brainwash them, and become slaves at his mercy, Shimizu Yukuri could no longer bear the desire in his heart.
Sensing Shimizu Yukuri's eyes, Hatayama Aiko and the students around her also turned pale. Of course, they would not ignore the malice in each other's eyes, but now...
"Teacher, we fought him!"
The female student next to Hatayama Aiko raised her weapon and stood in front of Aiko. As a teacher, Hatayama Aiko who traveled to another world naturally also has abilities, but her ability is not in combat, but in crops. , which makes her completely incapable of fighting and protecting herself.
"Hahahaha, just relying on you, you also want to beat me?"
Seeing this scene, Shimizu Yukiri laughed.
"Do you know what this is? It's a dragon! Can you defeat a dragon? Now, let's see, what is the power that the protagonist should have!"
"——————————————!"
As if to match Shimizu Yukuri's words, the black dragon opened its mouth and let out an angry roar, and just hearing the terrifying roar of the dragon, the students standing next to Aiko twisted and twisted, as if they were drunk He collapsed to the ground like drunk.
"Hahaha, this is the power of the protagonist, you are there, experience the result of resisting the protagonist!!"
Seeing this scene, Shimizu Yukiri burst out laughing, then he raised his hand and waved forward.
"Monsters, give it to me!!!"
Accompanied by Shimizu Yuri's words, the monsters roared and rushed towards the towns—then the next moment, they stopped as if they had hit an invisible wall, one by one holding their heads in their hands, and curled up tremblingly on the ground.
At the same time, an unparalleled coercion descended from the sky.
"It seems that group wearing is really not a good idea."
Ellie, who was sitting on the broom, slowly descended. She squinted her eyes and stared at Shimizu Yukiri standing on top of the black dragon.
"Sure enough, the so-called forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. If there are too many people passing through, will this kind of waste appear? Forget it..."
While talking, Ellie shook her head and raised her magic wand.
"You, who are you!"
Seeing the monsters stop in front of Ellie, Shimizu Yukuri also roared loudly. In the face of his yelling, Ellie just smiled lightly.
"Guess, aren't you the protagonist? Then guess what role I will be?"
"...You look down on me too, you all look down on me!!"
The contemptuous sarcasm in Ellie's eyes completely stimulated Shimizu Yukiri's inner anger, and at this moment, he finally completely lost his mind.
"Kill her! Black Dragon! Cut this woman into pieces!!!!"
Accompanied by Shimizu Xingli's angry roar, the next moment, the black dragon roared, spread its wings, and rushed towards Ellie.
