Chapter 2 Jotun?
"Do you know why I've been here to serve the wicked queen all these years? That's because I believe that one day, you'll take back your kingdom! That woman made people believe that you're autistic and can't live without this castle, but We all know that you have the ability to rule this country..." The fat cook didn't wait for Bella to answer, looked left and right, and took out a brown bag from under the stove.
The linen was opened layer by layer, and a dagger with a cold light appeared in front of Bella. The fat cook said: "This is left to you by His Majesty the King, please keep it!"
Did you give me a dagger so that I could assassinate the queen by myself? The girl didn't think she, an untrained person, had this ability.
Her original intention has not changed, it is useless for you to say a flower, I must run! However, the dagger is also a self-defense weapon, you can bring it here first...
The leather sheath was inlaid with three gems, and the handle was tightly wound with golden threads. The girl held the handle and did not know much about the use of cold weapons, but she knew that the dagger felt very comfortable.
The blade was more than 20 centimeters long, with two sides of the blade, and the blood trough glowed with cold light. She waved it twice like cutting vegetables.
"It's really good! It's not bad!" She didn't know how to praise, but she could speak the language of this unfamiliar region, but she had a very small vocabulary, and she couldn't think of any good words when she searched her stomach. issue concerned.
"How big is our country?"
"I see a snow-capped mountain in the distance. Where is the place outside the mountain? Does it have a name?"
"If I ask for help, is there any other powerful figure in the kingdom who can help me?"
Unfortunately, from the geographical location of the country, to the population of the country, and even to the current time and age, the fat cook faced Bella's questions.
I don't know what year, when, and where it is now, but the fat cook's ignorance is more like a traveler than Bella...
This world doesn't seem to value culture, and it's a compliment to a certain extent. According to the fat cook, he has served in the castle for 20 years. From the time of Bella's father, the castle has It seems that there is no such thing as a 'book'.
Now the background is not the Middle Ages, right?
Bella is very entangled, and without accurate information, she dare not run around.
Pretending to be happy, she took over the food that the fat cook specially left for her.
People are well-intentioned, but it is inappropriate to pull their faces.
The queen doesn't care whether she lives or dies. She is hungry and full every day, without nutritional supplements, and she is naturally beautiful. Appearance does not threaten the queen either.
A plate of lentils, a fat fried egg, and a stewed wild pigeon.
In order to maintain her beauty, the queen can only smell a lot of food, and now it's all cheap Bella.
The fat cook saw that she was devouring her food, and handed Bella two more rye breads left in the kitchen.
"Thank you!" The rye bread was dry and astringent, without gluten, and the taste was extremely poor, but in order to replenish her strength, she still swallowed the only bit of sauce she had.
In the next few days, as long as she had free time, Bella studied the various furnishings in the castle, thinking about the places that could be used by herself. A rope and a torch could make her ponder for a long time. Many common things in the castle were very common to her. It's all new.
In my spare time, I sneak into the kitchen and listen to the fat cook telling all kinds of gossip stories, from the queen's horror magic, to the grievances between soldiers and servants, eating is the main job, waiting for news of books, and secretly observing the patrols of soldiers Routes are secondary work.
It is impossible for salted fish to salt fish. As a modern person, magic is too far away from her, and it is too incredible. It is completely a blind spot of knowledge.
The queen's magic cannot be estimated by the knowledge of her previous life, it is like a sword hanging in her heart, always urging her to work hard and try harder.
Fat Cook's job is hard, but she still struggles to find the book Bella desperately needs!
The first impression of the book is very bad, it is tattered, and the dregs are thrown away as soon as it is shaken off. The girl is really convinced by the level of civilization in this country.
There is no typography, the two books are more like two notebooks, with messy handwriting and dirt on the pages.
"Perhaps the evil woman has a book?" You could see the reluctance in the girl's expression, and the fat cook came up with another idea for her.
You don't need to say this, I know it too! The only cultural person in this illiterate castle is probably the queen!
Bella smiled and thanked the fat cook for her help, and then ran back to her room in three steps and two steps. Unless she had to, she didn't want to go to the queen's house to find a book. The risk was too high.
After more than ten days of hard reading, Bella continued to guess, and finally read the two notebooks.
This is not to say that the notes are high-level, but because she has limited literacy.
At the age of seven, he lost his parents, and the education level of his predecessor can be imagined.
Fortunately, she had a bit of basic knowledge, and she could speak the language here. With this level of graduation from the literacy class, she struggled to read two notebooks.
One of them is useless, it's all short trivia for parents, and the other one has more information in the notes.
"The queen is from the north, where is the country covered with ice and snow? The west is a dark forest full of evil magic? Outside the snowy mountains is a wider world of ice?" Bella read this passage several times, she was a little confused . UU reading www.uukanshu.com
It is recorded in the notes that this continent is a world of ice, and it is also mentioned that a group of extraterrestrial humanoids driving rainbows call this continent 'Jotun'. Ancient documents believe that those extraterrestrial humanoids are people of gold. And these Jotuns are the people of silver.
Bella knew about the yordle people, but she had no idea about the yordon people at all. The people of gold and silver sounded very high, but in her opinion, it didn't make any sense.
Bella's country is located in the easternmost part of the mainland, where the temperature is relatively high and it is the most livable.
The country of ice and snow in the north can be said to be the queen's family. She dare not go there. The dark forest is not a good place for birds and flowers to hear its name. After repeated weighing, she had to make a difficult decision!
Instead of going to the wilderness to survive, wander, and finally be eaten by wild beasts, it is better to fight hard!
She is not strong enough to kill her as soon as she crosses, but the chance that the other party will kill her is as high as 90%. Is there any way to survive without desperately trying?
There is no Internet in the castle, no novels are true, but there is no such thing in the wilderness! There is food, drink and servants in the castle, but there are probably only wolves in the wilderness! Even though this is a world covered in ice and snow, as a king, she can live to the end, she just wants to live now.
Fight!
Bella has been practicing thrusting for several days in a row. She has no idea how strong the queen's magic is. According to her open-minded estimation, if she faces the queen directly, if the distance between the two sides is five meters, the odds of winning are 50%. Mi, the odds of winning are reduced by 10%. If she is ten meters away, she can consider designing a handsome death pose for herself.
The best way is to sneak attack, such as hiding under the bed, hiding in the closet or something. When the queen falls asleep, you can come out by yourself.
