Chapter 1206? (?`▽′ )?? Temporarily Staying in Rey Estige!
The different world that Annie came to is very big, and it is also a mature planet with a complete universe, and a complete, huge, vast and connected land, in which there are countless races, including humans, elves, sub-humans, and monsters. All kinds of monsters, undead and other creatures live here and have their own activity sites.
In addition to the city of E-Rantel where Annie stayed before and the kingdom of Re-Estij to which the city belonged, there are also human supremacist religious fanatics who advocate the unity of all human beings and the elimination of all other non-human races. "The Ecclesiastical State of Slane", the "Bahas Empire" which is located in the east of the city of Ye-Rantel and has been invading the kingdom all the year round, the Judgment of Aglande in the north of the Kingdom of Re-Estij, and a land in the far southwestern corner of the kingdom. On the peninsula, there is a special huge walled defense line and the "Holy Kingdom" that is closed to the country, as well as other small tribes and dragon kingdoms scattered in the gaps between the countries, etc...
In the south of this land full of races, there is a huge dead desert peninsula. No one knows what is going on inside or what creatures are there. After all, it is a dead zone of life, and no one would like to go to that kind of dry A place of adventure or exploration.
And on the farther east of the mainland, it is said that there are three major countries in the west and three countries in the east?
However, because the journey is too far away, coupled with the backward sailing conditions and the very harsh land transportation environment in this world, no one knows about the things over there for the time being, and they don't want to know either!
For example, in the palace of Yestiger, the capital of the kingdom, those princes and nobles still only kept their eyes on their one-third of an acre of land, and clamored to give someone who violated their border again Bajas empire a good looking?
'snort! Don't let it go this time! ! '
'The empire is too arrogant to let them continue to wreak havoc. This year, we must send out a large army to repel them directly! Then, if conditions permit, they will attack the mainland of the empire in one go, and hit their imperial capital Aventar! ! '
'Well! '
‘It is definitely necessary to fight, and I am also a little tired of defending against the invasion of the empire every year, but...’
'Everyone, how do we solve the problem of soldiers? Of course, there are military pay and logistics, etc...Your Majesty, we all know that you seem to have obtained a large windfall in the city of E-Rantel, how about...all the military expenses and logistics this time The royal family is in charge, don't you think? '
'Ah……'
'That's right! '
'As the count said, that is indeed a good suggestion! I think, if His Majesty the King is willing to use that part of the unexpected income as military expenses, we nobles will be happy to send troops, right? '
'Seconded! '
'Seconded! '
'I agree too! '
'Yes, His Majesty the King can't get the great benefits by himself, and he is not willing to share them with us as subjects, right? Although the city of E-Rantel is indeed the territory of the royal family, and it is true that gold mines or huge gold bricks that have fallen from the sky are found there, the royal family should accept it... However, since it is also going to fight on the border of E-Rantel, the king It is only natural for His Majesty to allocate military expenses. '
'It makes sense! '
‘Your Majesty, what do you think? '
'...'
'Well……'
'Let's discuss the matter of military expenditure...'
'It's getting late now, let's talk about this first today, let's adjourn the meeting! '
'this……'
'snort! '
However, it's a pity that what surprised the nobles and ministers was: a certain king of the Kingdom of Re-Estige seems to be really stingy, or is he scrupled about certain things? Anyway, the nobles and ministers of the kingdom who participated in the meeting only knew that when they talked about the piece of gold in Ye-Rantel City again and planned to participate and share it,
As expected, His Majesty turned his back on him again, and just rightly announced the temporary adjournment of the meeting, so that they could only look at each other and watch the other party get up and leave with the strongest warrior leader in the kingdom, but there was nothing they could do.
'...'
'...'
In fact, the incident of the 'Gold Brick Gate' in Ye-Rantel City has long been no secret in the Kingdom, and even in the neighboring countries.
And most of the nobles present also obtained some more specific intelligence and information, knowing that the sum of gold that His Majesty the King obtained through the hands of the unscrupulous warrior commander Gazef Stronov There are more than 5 million ounces, which is equivalent to the financial revenue of the entire kingdom for more than 50 years... And now, the old Xilanbosa III has been hesitant until now, and has been hiding Tucked away, not ready to share with them! ?
But it is a pity that although the nobles were dissatisfied, since the thing fell on the king's own territory, and Rambosa III was relatively strong, even if they wanted to make things difficult, they couldn't find a good excuse. It's just a little difficult on the issue of sending troops, and I don't dare to go too far.
So, this matter is so deadlocked, and the matter of sending troops to attack the empire is likely to be shelved indefinitely like in previous years?
'His Majesty……'
"Perhaps you should consider their opinions. Although this time it is mainly the conspiracy of the Slan Theocracy, it is an indisputable fact that the Bajas Empire often invades our borders... Whenever our national strength is weak, they will Attacking with all your strength, and harassing it even if it is not beneficial, in the long run, even such a small fight may put great military pressure on us. '
‘If we can take the opportunity to teach them a profound lesson and beat them hard, at least we can guarantee the border peace of our country for decades, which is very cost-effective for the kingdom! '
After walking out of the corridor, Warrior Commander Gazef Stronov began to persuade Rambosa III.
If it is the opinion of the warrior commander himself, he still agrees to take advantage of this time to fight a big battle against the Bajas Empire, because even if he cannot defeat the opponent, he can take the opportunity to take the initiative and exhaust the opponent's national strength and combat capability. , that is beneficial and harmless.
in particular……
When among them, the Kingdom of Yestiger obtained a huge windfall out of thin air, and was fully capable of conducting an all-out war regardless of consumption without worrying about consuming its own national power? Anyway, in Gazef’s view, that piece of gold was obtained for nothing after all, and no one has dared to claim it so far. Then, use it as military expenses to distribute to soldiers, purchase military supplies, forge weapons, and arm soldiers to the maximum extent. And then storming the empire, isn't this a wonderful idea and usefulness?
'Gazef...'
'You have to understand that to suppress the invasion of the empire or send troops to attack the empire, what is needed is the common strength of all the nobles, which is something that everyone can benefit from, and this cannot all be funded by the royal family. This precedent must not be set , otherwise there will be endless disasters! '
'In short...'
'Our internal affairs have not been handled well. Before the empire has formally invaded, I do not plan to launch a foreign war, especially against a powerful empire...There are too many uncertain factors there, we need to be more cautious! '
'Forget it, let's not talk about this...'
"As for the matter of Carne Village and E-Rantel City, especially the information about the adventurer who claims to be a 'Brilliant Diamond' level, the information about the dragon mage Anne Hastur, how is your investigation going? Do you know her? Is there a history? '
Regarding the hidden divisions in the kingdom and those disobedient nobles, Rambosa III has no good solution for the time being, even if he has obtained the equivalent of more than 50 years of the kingdom's fiscal revenue out of thin air! Because, there are some things that cannot be solved by money, and those greedy nobles, even if they give money, it is useless, because they will want more after they get it, so it is better to just ignore them Woolen cloth!
Therefore, now Rambosa III only wants to hear the warrior captain talk about the affairs of Kahn Village and Ye Lantel City, and he wants to hear some judgments from the other party, and see if he can get something from it that can make him Some intel that the kingdom would benefit again?
'terribly sorry! '
'His Majesty! Whether it is the powerful magic caster, His Excellency Ainz Urgon, or the little girl, the dragon mage Annie Hasta, we have not investigated any more specific information so far! '
"Especially His Excellency Ainzi Urgon, although he has a good impression of the kingdom and has rescued me and the soldiers of the kingdom, but, according to the villagers, he was burned to flames by the dragon mage at that time." In the shape of a skeleton, although he managed to escape with his companions in the end, judging from the fact that there is no news so far and the situation has never happened again, I am afraid it is more ominous...'
Speaking of this, Warrior Commander Gazef suddenly fell silent.
Because he knew that no one could survive after being burned into a skeleton, even if he was stronger than His Excellency Ainzi Ur-gon! And now, the reason why the other party hasn't appeared since the battle of Karn Village must be because he died under the flame spell of that terrible little girl, right?
It's just that he doesn't know why His Excellency Anzi Wuergong would conflict with such a terrifying dragon mage, and that little girl... However, it's too late to say anything now, the other party has been burned into skeletons, even if forced Relying on his strong strength to save people and escape, he must have already run out of fuel, and now he may have been sent to the grave and lying in the sarcophagus.
'Yeah……'
'What a pity! '
‘Then, Gazef, tell me about that little girl, last time you said that you wanted to meet her that night, but she turned you down? '
As for that powerful spellcaster who was probably dead, that dead man named Anzi Urgon, Rambosa III didn't want to waste his precious time, because the other party was defeated by that even more powerful little girl, And they were all burned into skeletons, now Yan Ran is a worthless dead person!
Then, of course, he devoted all his attention and interest to the other little adventurer girl who seemed to be more powerful and claimed to be a 'Brilliant Diamond' level adventurer.
'actually……'
‘Your Majesty, it can’t be said that I was rejected, because that night may be a bit inappropriate for the timing I chose? Later, I heard from those people from the Black Sword that not long after she refused my meeting, she rushed to a pharmacist's workshop in the city, and then rescued five of them. '
'Perhaps, that's why she refused my meeting request so flatly? '
In this way, while walking in this corridor of the palace with King Rambosa III, the warrior commander Gazef Stronov whispered everything he knew.
For example: that little girl easily killed the ninth seat of the original pitch-black scripture that night, the one with hero-level strength, but later betrayed the Theocracy and seized the secret treasure of the Fenghua scripture, and now she is in the 'Zhilanong' In the evil and terrifying organization, there is a cute appearance and a brutal personality, a capricious killer who takes lives, and Clementine who likes to kill adventurers and collect their metal plates... Then he raided Ye Lan the next day In the cemetery outside the city of Tire, one of the twelve disciples of Zhiranon, Kajit Del Badantyr, and the ancient dragon summoned by the other party were easily wiped out, and then flew to the west of the kingdom and came to the king's capital The matter of Yestiger was told in detail.
Of course, some of the information was obtained by the warrior commander Gazef belatedly from the cemetery outside the city of E-Rantel, and compared with the confessions of the adventurer team of the Dark Sword, It should be about the same.
'! ! '
'You mean...she is right here in the royal capital, Yestige, right now? ! '
Rambosa III was a little surprised, stopped to look at the valet commander beside him, and then continued to walk forward slowly after a while.
'Yes! '
'I almost followed her all the way back to the capital. Now she is in the city and rented a mansion in the west of the city. I bought that mansion immediately. There should be no one there for the time being. Easily disturb her! '
'correct! '
‘Your Majesty, look, this is the gold coin she gave when she paid the rent for one year, and I exchanged it with gold worth twice its weight from the original owner! '
As he said that, the warrior commander Gazef fumbled through his inner pockets, and finally handed a hot gold coin to His Majesty's old and haggard hand.
'Well? ! '
'strangeness……'
'This does not seem to be the gold coin of any kingdom we know! It is not one of the known ones in ancient times, and I have never seen this kind of writing...'
Squinting his eyes and staring at the weird gold coin for a while, and after filtering through his less energetic and less clear-headed mind, Rambosa III quickly came to his conclusion .
'Yes! '
"Your Majesty, I have asked the kingdom's scholars to look it up before, and none of them recognized the words on this gold coin... That's why I think they probably came from the far east, or even the farther east. of! '
'! ! '
‘Gazef, you mean, she might be from the east? ! '
'Yes, Your Majesty! '
‘It is indeed possible, but I can’t be sure! '
'Well……'
Rambosa III stopped talking, and began to rub the gold coin and frown in thought.
'Gazef, you said...'
‘Could she have come from that magical place like some of the former Six Great Gods, Eight Desire Kings, or Thirteen Heroes? '
Rambosa III did not specify exactly what 'that magical place' was, because he knew that as the warrior captain of the kingdom and also his valet, the other party must know what he was referring to, because that place from In a hidden legend unknown to ordinary people.
'...'
‘Your Majesty, I guess not! '
'no? '
'right! Because I also checked the information, the gold coins used by the other party are different from those used by some of the Six Great Gods, Eight Desire Kings, or Thirteen Heroes! Whether it's text, size, weight or pattern, the difference is so obvious! '
Under the watchful eyes of the king, the warrior commander Gazef said firmly that he did not believe that the other party came from the legendary magical place called 'YGGDRASIL', because all the known information now points to other places , He believed in his own judgment, and even more in the solid evidence.
'That's it...'
'So, Gazef, do you think we should contact each other now? '
'His Majesty! '
'I think it's best not to! '
'Well? '
'Tell me about your...'
'! ! '
'oh! My dear Lana! ! '
'ah! '
'My lord father! And Your Excellency the Warrior Captain! '
Just when the king was about to continue talking to his valet, suddenly, they looked ahead and saw his own daughter appearing with the other party's little follower, Clem, and running towards him. , he temporarily put aside the chaotic and clueless matter that he didn't know how to deal with just now, and started talking to his lovely little daughter.
'...'
On the other hand, after nodding to the third princess of the kingdom, Lana Tier Chardon Lyle Verseve, the warrior commander stood aside without saying a word, not intending to disturb her at this time. Seeing the rare family happiness of His Majesty the King, after all, His Majesty the King has already worked hard on state affairs, so he should have some personal time of his own.
As for the matter they just mentioned, we can discuss it another day, because it is not urgent! Besides, in the view of Warrior Commander Gazef, it's always a little bad for them to contact that little girl in a hurry, especially without a good excuse.
And at this time...
In the wealthy and aristocratic district of the western city of the capital of the Kingdom of Re-Estig, a certain miserable little girl is having a headache for the huge courtyard and house she just got!
Because, Annie rented this mansion as soon as she arrived at Ree Yestiger's place! Originally, she wanted to buy it directly, but the down-and-out little nobleman refused to sell it, so she had to reluctantly rent it... But now, the problem is that people rent or sell the house, but they will not give it away or provide it. Servants, besides, there were no servants here, so now this has led to an embarrassing phenomenon:
In such a large house, with twenty or so rooms and halls, and a large and messy courtyard, now she is the only one living here alone?
"..."
(ー`′ー)
Although Annie can easily clean up the house and the courtyard with magic, such as the simple tricks she saw from Hogwarts, it is very simple to use them to automatically clean up the room or the courtyard, but , but she didn't want to do that!
so……
She is worrying now, and is considering whether to recruit some servants, but, is she worried that those guys will be disobedient or make herself dissatisfied and cause trouble?
"Really, if I knew it, I'd better go to a hotel..."
?°(°ˉ??ˉ?°)°?
Annie regretted renting this luxurious mansion.
After all, if she had to prepare and deal with all the messy things such as eating, sleeping, cleaning, maintaining and managing lights, the experience would definitely be far inferior to staying in a hotel! Besides, she came here to play, not to play house, do housework or something, is that kind of annoying thing that Queen Anne should do?
"Dear Tibbers..."
(*^▽^*)
"People know that you have the most bad ideas, so hurry up and tell me, what should they do now?"
o
After much deliberation, Annie seemed to be unable to think of any good solution for the time being, so she had to ask for help from the bad bear in her family who often had no sense of existence and was often used by herself to vent her anger and bully.
(Dear little master... Didn't you just subdue a lot of giant dragons in this world? Summon their nest of dragon springs, and then transform them all into human forms, and let them serve you directly as your servants Not on the line?
(● ̄(?) ̄●)
——Knowing that his little master might be unwilling to casually summon creatures from another world or create life to interfere with this world, Tibbers thought about it, and then suggested. It doesn't dare not to cooperate, because now its bad little master is talking to it well, if it dares to say no at this time, the other party will definitely turn his face in an instant, and then in a fit of rage, he has to put him down. You can't twist your neck 1080 degrees! )
"ha!"
?(????)?
"Tibbers, you have come up with a good idea that is not a bad idea. It is not in vain that people treat you so well!"
???(?)????
Think and do it!
Annie quickly ignored a certain bad bear who had just made a perfect suggestion, and instead directly opened the portal, preparing to have a good communication with an old dragon king of the Frost Dragon clan, and convey her undoubted and Rejected order.
Because she didn't want to be watched, so this time, when Anne came to the capital of the Kingdom of Re-Estage, she landed far away and used the teleportation spell to throw the frost dragon back to the Angelisia Mountains to prepare for the necessary Time to call again? But now, since she needed the other party again, she had no choice but to call ahead of time.
And as for the fact that the Frost Dragon Clan cannot transform into human form, it will not trouble Annie at all, because she has a lot of ways, whether it is teaching the other party a simple spell to transform into human form or helping them by herself, it is just her. A thought thing.
