Chapter 1208????? People Don't Know Eight Fingers, because Everyone They Know Is Dead!
:(), these days, the capital of the Kingdom of Re-Estij has been very quiet...
According to common sense, a public security officer of the Kingdom of Re-Estige, that is, the obese itinerant who was responsible for keeping the king's capital safe, was thrown out of a civilian mansion like trash in full view. , and was severely injured and paralyzed. This kind of shocking case will definitely shake the capital, and it is reasonable for the suspects who committed such a big case to be arrested immediately?
Or, at least the relevant departments of the kingdom should investigate and block the scene?
but……
What makes people feel very strange is that in the past few days from the paralysis of the security patrol to today, the civilian mansion where a certain little girl temporarily lives has never had any officials or soldiers from the royal capital. To pay attention to or investigate, this is like a fat official who was thrown out from the inside, although he did not die, he is not much different from a dead person. Part of the average?
However, although the Kingdom of Reyestige is very puzzling, why it has not made any reasonable response to this, but a certain underground organization named 'Eight Fingers' has not been sitting idly by Well, they actually started secretly dispatching troops and launching certain revenge actions as early as the first night when the incident happened.
But it is a pity that none of their people who were ordered to break into that mansion, no matter how strong or weak or how many people were there, could stand up... Of course, it should be more accurate: Those who sneaked in for the purpose or wanted to attack at night, once they entered, they never appeared again at all!!
There are more than a hundred masters in total, some of them are even equivalent to gold-level or even stronger adventurers. They just 'disappeared' without a sound. No one knows whether they are dead or alive. , and no one knows where they went.
This weird situation finally made a certain organization called 'Eight Fingers' panic... Then, after they settled down for two or three days, when they didn't think of a better way, they discovered that the secret When the action failed and he was going to put pressure on some nobles and violent institutions in the kingdom, and planned to retaliate against a certain house and the people in the house, the third princess of the kingdom, Rambosa III's favorite His youngest daughter, Lana Tier Chardon Lyle Vanseve, brought several guards, entourages, maids, and a warrior commander who was known as the strongest in the kingdom to pay an official visit at this time. here.
'Owner!'
'The guests have brought...'
Not long after entering the courtyard of this exquisite mansion, under the guidance of an old housekeeper, the third princess of the Kingdom and the others finally saw the real body of a certain legendary little girl face to face.
"..."
(?_?)..
However, compared to the smiling faces of the guests, a little guy who is the host is not happy at all!
"???"
(???.???)? ? ? ?
Annie, who thought that the other party was the kind of bad guy who came to trouble her again, just sat in her seat without saying a word, blinking her eyes, watching the other party walk up to her, and then, she didn't He didn't stand up to show politeness, and just continued to sit on his sofa in a daze.
Because, Anne doesn't like these guys and doesn't know them!
And ah, the arrival of these guys has seriously disrupted her today's arrangements, making her originally plan to continue to hang out and play, and by the way, find an opportunity to make the nearest one always refuse to admit defeat, thinking about sending someone to assassinate or kidnap herself all day long Those bad guys called 'Eight Fingers' did it, and then her plan to use the name of self-defense to retaliate and have a good time 'playing' with those bad guys fell through.
"Hello!"
"Respected adventurer of the 'Bright Diamond', powerful dragon mage Anne Hastur,
I am Lana Tier Chardon Lyle Versefer, the third princess of the Kingdom of Re-Estage, and I am here to visit Your Excellency specially today!"
"Before we officially start the meeting, let me introduce you to you first..."
"Um……"
"This is my friend, she is an adventurer of stainless steel level, she is also the captain of 'Blue Rose', a nobleman of the kingdom, a descendant of 'Thirteen Heroes' more than a hundred years ago, a magic caster of the Faith Department , can use fifth-tier resurrection magic, a powerful warrior who has already stepped into the realm of 'heroes' - Lakyus Elbein Drew Eindora!!"
"This one is the warrior captain of our Ri-Estij kingdom, known as the kingdom's strongest warrior—His Excellency Gazef Stronoff!"
"As for this...he's my regular follower, Climb!"
Under the somewhat disrespectful and leisurely gaze of a certain little girl, the third princess of the kingdom introduced herself and the people she brought with her generously, and after thinking about it, she smiled and did not wait for the invitation. Kui Kui sat on the sofa opposite the little girl, and began to stare strangely at the male and female servants standing behind her.
But she knows, it is said that these servants are all powerful warriors or magic casters?
Especially the old man and the head maid, Altria Heliliar, who was about the same age as me, who not only had a very good appearance, but also had great strength? At least, the spies of their kingdom once spied on the other party in the courtyard of this mansion. With a wave of his hand, he easily froze several members of Eight Fingers who had infiltrated into icicles in an instant. It's scary!
"Hello!"
"Your Excellency Anne Hasta! On behalf of the 'Stainless Steel' level adventurer team 'Cang Qiangwei', I salute you?"
After Her Royal Highness finished the introduction and sat down, the captain of the 'Blue Rose', the adamantite-ranked adventurer Lakyus Elbein Drew Eindora stared at A certain little girl who looked very suspicious to her looked at it for a while, and after emphatically biting the title word of her 'stainless steel'-level adventurer, she slowly sat beside Princess Nina.
Obviously, she is very puzzled and disdainful of the other party's inexplicable 'Brilliant Diamond' adventurer level!
Because, so far, the Adventurer's Guild has not come forward to admit or announce the establishment and registration of the inexplicable "Brilliant Diamond" level! Therefore, the suspicion she has about the other party is probably an adventurer made up by the other party. It is really disdainful and dissatisfied with the practice of the leader of the 'Blue Rose' team who is still holding down their own level.
Although she admits that the other party does have impressive power, at the same time, she also has doubts about the other party's power! After all, none of the people here have really seen the other party cast any too powerful spells, even Even the warrior commander just listened to the verbal descriptions of those ignorant village names. In her opinion, that kind of thing can't be taken seriously.
And if it wasn't for the next period of time, the big operation they are about to launch may require the strength of the other party, and she also needs to protect Lana's personal safety, presumably she will not come easily here.
"His Excellency Master Anne..."
"Nice to meet you. I visited you last time when I was in E-Rantel City, but I was delayed due to certain things. I am really honored to finally be able to visit you!"
Unlike Lakyus of the 'Blue Rose' who had a slightly sarcastic tone, the warrior commander Gazef saluted the other party very humbly, and then stood calmly behind the Kingdom's third princess, and said Not going to squeeze together on that not-so-big sofa.
'...'
And as for that little follower, Clem, who didn't talk at all, he was very sensible and stood aside obediently at this time!
However, judging from his impolite staring eyes at the owner of the house and a certain little girl, it seems that he can have great power over other people's little girl, and has even The warrior commander can only salute well, and even Her Royal Highness can only come to pay a visit, so I feel a little psychologically unbalanced or very dissatisfied?
But it's a pity that his sense of existence is too low, and no one will care what she thinks.
"that……"
(?~?)
"What do you guys do when you come to someone's house?"
(^~^;)ゞ
Anne said that the names of these individuals were longer than the last, and they were smelly and long anyway, and she was a little confused just now... Except for the little guy named Climb just now, except for the little guy named Climb. She knew why she barely remembered the guy who looked a bit annoying because his name was too short, but for the others, she didn't remember who was who at all.
However, it doesn't matter what their names are. Anne just wants to know what these princesses came to her home today, and brought so many powerful helpers, what exactly are they trying to do? ? !
"snort!"
"Does it need to be said? Of course, it is here to help you deal with the big troubles you caused! This dragon mage, Your Excellency Anne Hastur, you should know it yourself?"
Now that the other party asked questions, the captain of 'Blue Rose', Lakyus Elbein Drew Eindora, who was a little dissatisfied with certain things, said straight to the point.
Speaking of which, before they came here, they had conducted investigations and made plans in advance for possible conversations, etc., and they also knew long ago that the little girl in front of them was also straightforward and relying on strength Go to the brats who want to do whatever they want, then there is no need for them to say so many meandering things to each other when they come here, lest it is not beautiful to annoy each other while wasting time.
"trouble?"
∑('△`)? !
"But, there doesn't seem to be any trouble here..."
く(^_?) ゝ?
Annie was a little baffled when she heard it, and she really didn't have any idea in her heart!
Yes, from Anne's point of view, she had a good time these few days. From time to time, some bad guys would jump out to amuse her. It's not to mention how comfortable it is, so why is there any trouble?
"that……"
"May I call you Anne?"
Seeing that the little girl in front of her didn't have the strong hostility she had at the beginning, Lana, the third princess of the kingdom, felt that she should take the opportunity to get close to her, so she hurriedly asked, and continued talking directly before the other party said anything :
"Annie, that's right!"
"actually……"
"We came to you this time, and what we want to talk about is about that 'Eight Finger' who has troubled you many times, about that criminal organization..."
Immediately afterwards, Princess Lana explained the reason why she and the others came here suddenly, and planned to invite the other party to help them together to clean up the "worm" that was gradually eroding the kingdom and harming the people, and deal with and eliminate the "eight-fingered monster" ’ and a plan that was not yet fully developed.
Of course, at the same time, she also talked a lot about the evil things that the evil force "Eight Fingers" has done, such as human trafficking, forcing girls into prostitution, killing people, planting black fans, opening casinos, and all the other parties they investigated. The strongholds in the capital are roughly stated.
And this said, it took more than ten minutes, until Princess Lana felt a little dry, she was relieved, picked up a cup of strong tea brought by the maid and drank it. Small mouth.
"so……"
"Facing the powerful 'Eight Fingers' and our common enemy, we think that Annie, you should not continue to fight against them on your own. We should work together and launch an attack at an appropriate time. Thunder strike and eradicate them in one fell swoop!!"
Holding her tender white fist, the third princess Lana said so excitedly.
They observed the little girl in front of them for several days. They saw that the conflict between the other party and 'Eight Fingers' became more and more intense. They saw that the other party killed at least hundreds of members of the 'Eight Fingers' organization. After the full-scale confrontation of the two parties was inevitable and the contradictions were irreconcilable, they deliberately chose this appropriate time to come to discuss with each other.
For this reason, she even deliberately suppressed the case where the security officer was seriously injured and paralyzed by the other party. After all, sacrificing such a dispensable ruthless official and such a poorly rated public security tour envoy for the sake of the kingdom is a very cost-effective thing!
"Is that so?"
ヾ(^▽^)))
"But why do people want to help you?"
(°-°〃)
After listening to the other party talking a lot, Annie felt that her head was getting bigger...
Then, after a while, she straightened things out with the help of her little bear, probably: these guys in front of her wanted to deal with the 'Eight Fingers' organization, but they didn't have the confidence to win, so, seeing After bullying those villains recently enough to be ruthless and efficient, she hurried to find herself, wanting to help them by herself, to help them deal with those villains together?
(…)
(● ̄(?) ̄●)
"!!"
"No! Your Excellency may have made a mistake. I want to make a statement here: It is not you who come to help us, but us to help each other. Because we have a common enemy, we need to temporarily unite to increase our winning rate, right? ?”
Hearing such sarcastic remarks from a certain sad little girl, Lakyus, the 'steel' level hero powerhouse beside her, was a little dissatisfied and added solemnly.
"Okay, I understand, it turns out that's what you're thinking..."
o(′▽`)o
"But, it seems that I don't need your help? And the eight fingers are not my enemy, they are just a group of dispensable toys!"
(????-)?
What kind of cosmic plane jokes are you making, what kind of messy enemies, those useless villains are also worthy of being her Queen Anne's enemies? !
And the fact is also true, Annie has never faced the so-called 'eight fingers' squarely, and she even planned to run out today to be ambushed and assassinated by them... If it wasn't for these strange guys who suddenly came to disturb her If it hadn't been, she would probably be on the street by now, playing that funny little game of cat and mouse with those bad guys in some deserted alley.
"!!"
"But, the eight fingers are very strong!"
"They even secretly controlled the kingdom, and there are thousands of people serving them! If we cooperate, we will be able to destroy them successfully! But if we act independently, it is very likely that we will fail due to the dispersion of forces! "
"ah!!"
"Hold, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Hearing that the little girl in front of her looked down on the 'Eight Fingers' so much, Lana, the third princess of the kingdom, hurriedly and excitedly spoke loudly again, even spilling some of the tea she just picked up in her hand, letting her I had to quickly endure the scalding pain and exclaimed and put it on the table.
"Thousands, how many are there?"
? (ψ`▽′)o
"Well……"
"Probably hundreds of thousands! But their core members will be less, we only need to deal with those core members!"
Princess Lana once asked Lakyus's team to conduct a secret investigation. Except for those peripheral clutter, the core members of the 'Eight Fingers' in Wangduli Yestijie are only one or two thousand people, and they are distributed in different places. In more than a dozen different strongholds, those guys are the targets they need to eradicate!
"Hundreds of thousands...that's not much, so what's there to be afraid of!"
(ˉ▽ ̄~)cut~~
There are hundreds of thousands of villains, it is really troublesome to fight them one by one... However, Annie feels that if she rushes to make some powerful equipment for the maid behind her, the long-haired hairy dragon, with that dumb Maomulong alone, with a little more time, can easily eliminate those enemies in this city in about half a night, right?
And the villains distributed in other places are just as easy to eliminate. Thinking about it, it is nothing more than a little troublesome to find!
"..."
"Annie, tell me, we can give you whatever you want, as long as you can help us when the time comes!"
Thinking that the other party saw that it was not beneficial, Princess Lana made every possible excuse and didn't want to do anything. After thinking about it, she frowned and asked tentatively.
"what do you want?"
!(;?o?)o
"Well...they don't seem to have anything in particular they want..."
(lll¬ω¬)
All Annie wants is good food and fun!
But she will find that kind of thing by herself. When the time comes, she only needs to look at it to know whether it is what she wants, and if she has to say it now, she will not be able to get it herself clearly.
"..."
"How about this, our Kingdom of Re-Estij can give you a piece of territory and the corresponding title, the town of E-Rantel, that piece is our royal family's territory, what do you think?"
The princess thought for a while, and then said cunningly.
Since the other party is highly respected by the warrior captain, and since her father entrusts this matter to her, she feels that it is better to hold the other party directly, because as long as the other party becomes a lord of the kingdom and becomes a member of them, then everything will be done. It's all easy to handle.
And the town of Ye Lantier, which is located in the center of the Three Kingdoms and is often invaded by the empire, is undoubtedly a good choice. As long as the opponent shows enough strength to be as powerful as the opponent's reputation in the next action, then, she I believe her father will support her idea.
"don't want!"
(¬д¬.)
Annie's face was full of disgust, because ah, territory and titles and so on, such things can't be eaten, so she won't care about them!
"ah......"
"Then we hire you and give you money, a lot of money, countless gold coins, what do you think?!"
Hearing that the other party didn't want the title and territory, Princess Lana couldn't help but hesitated for a moment, and soon, thinking of the fact that the royal family had ample funds and unexpectedly made a windfall recently, she hurriedly changed a condition that she thought the other party might accept. .
She had heard that the other party had accepted the employment of a pharmacist with another newly emerging team of 'steel' level adventurers, so, presumably the other party must have some kind of demand for money, right?
"not so good......"
(?~?)
"The big piece of gold you got from the city of E-Rantel before was actually thrown there by someone else. They have plenty of gold, so they don't want your gold coins!!"
? ('?`)
Anne had also heard that the piece of gold she accidentally left caused quite a stir, and she also knew that the piece of gold was finally taken into the pocket of a certain king. Many nobles secretly gritted their teeth!
"!!"
"What?!"
"Your Excellency Master Anne, you mean... that gold ingot was, you left it behind? But, why did you do that, why did you throw it away?!"
At this time, the warrior commander on the side finally couldn't help interjecting and exclaimed.
He never imagined that this 'mystery' that had troubled the kingdom for a long time and left many people astonished and puzzled, would be unintentionally solved by him in this way? !
"There's no reason..."
(^~^;)ゞ
"It's just that at that time, there were two villains who wanted to rob people, and they said they wanted gold, and said that the bigger the better? Then, they took out the biggest piece of gold and threw it to them! But who would think that, They are so useless, they can’t even connect!”
ヾ(⌒?⌒) Hey?
In fact, Anne had mentioned this matter once in the Adventurer's Guild before, but those guys didn't believe her, and she was annoyed for a long time! But now, speaking of it here, the people in front of The guy believed it...
Sure enough, there are certain things that cannot be said to some idiots who don't believe her, because even if Her Lady Queen Anne is telling the truth, those idiots will selectively ignore it, and what they say is in vain. You might even make yourself angry!
(…)
(● ̄(?) ̄●)
"!!"
"It turned out to be like this, no wonder..."
Such a heavy gold, it is strange to be able to hold it!
However, after what the other party said, the warrior commander Gazef finally understood some things, and he finally understood why there was such a big gold brick that crushed two adventurers who didn't know who they were. Yes! Now, all the original mysteries, all the unreasonable and incomprehensible logic, suddenly became clear at this moment.
'...'
'...'
Princess Lana and her good friend Lakyus looked at each other in astonishment and didn't know what to say.
In fact, from their point of view, even the ten most powerful people in the kingdom would not be able to handle such a large lump of gold, right? Anyway, they felt that even if they were replaced by ten warrior commanders, they would definitely end up being crushed into meatloaf?
"It turned out to be like this..."
"But! Annie, I don't understand, so why do you just throw it away?!"
In this regard, Princess Lana is very strange. After all, such a large sum of wealth, which is equivalent to the income of the kingdom's decades of tax revenue, is lost just like that? And if the other party suddenly said that they wanted to take it back, would they want it back? !
"Because it's dirty!"
(?ˇεˇ??)))
"Those two bad guys have been crushed into meatloaf, blood is everywhere, and intestines are coming out... And there are so many people with that kind of gold, as much as they want, how can they still want it?"
(ˉ▽ ̄~)cut~~
Annie looked contemptuous, and she was a little disdainful of the nervous attitude of these guys in front of her.
After all, these guys are rare of that kind of golden metal, and her Lady Queen Anne and her people in the Koprulu sector are not rare at all! Because there are too many gold stocks in the Milky Way, Basically, it's almost the same as mud rock, but it's just a little troublesome to purify?
Anyway, that kind of thing is mostly used as industrial materials, and there is no need to search for it at all. When those federal mining companies randomly find a few asteroids to refine metals, they can get extra How could she care about a by-product of hundreds of millions of tons, even if it was thrown on the side of the road, someone would not be afraid to steal it?
'!!'
'Because, because it's dirty? '
‘Is there too much? !'
'How much do you want? This, how is this possible!!!’
Hearing the little girl's casual words, the kingdom's third princess Lana, the strongest warrior commander Gazef, the kingdom's only three teams of 'steel' level adventurer team Blue Rose's captain Lakyus, and a certain The four little followers, Climb, were stunned in an instant, and their faces were full of unbelievable expressions!
I really never thought of it...
The unsolved mystery that has plagued the kingdom and its neighboring countries for a long time, the big incident of the 'Golden Brick Gate', the task and commission for the investigation of the bounty in the Adventurer's Guild may have accumulated dozens of copies, and the amount is almost thousands of gold coins The biggest event of the year, the secret was directly revealed in this unsatisfactory conversation between them? !
"???"
(???.???)? ? ? ?
"Hey! What's wrong with you guys, what's wrong with this?!"
? (? д? ≡? д?)!?
Annie looked left and right in some puzzlement, not knowing why these guys put on that dumbfounded expression for that.
