"If you don't want to become an ice sculpture forever, let the purple robe over there kneel down and apologize to our king for you! Otherwise...ah-!"
Aingale's burqa was accidentally caught on a nail that came out of the ship and was torn directly. The old voice coming from under the black burqa suddenly turned into a girl's scream——
The burqa collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally covered a small thing inside. The little thing struggled hard inside and finally got out - it turned out to be a little girl with white hair and golden eyes.
The little girl didn't react for a moment, and looked at Ella Amy in confusion for a while. After noticing the surprised looks of Ella and Amy, she screamed "Yeah~" again, covered her face and ran to hide behind the mast.
Ella hammered her palms in sudden realization: "So that's it. I was wondering why Alfred overturned my boat when he asked me for clothes. It turns out..."
"Let's negotiate!"
The white-haired little girl's shrill voice interrupted Ella's words. She shivered from behind the mast and revealed half of her face:
"Amy, she wants to negotiate with us... What do you think?"
"I think compared to the negotiation, the information that Aengale is a little girl is much more powerful, and everyone will be very interested!
"The Sword in the Stone! How about I give you the Sword in the Stone!" the little girl shouted in a panic, "I'll ask Alfred...ask the King of Knights for the Sword in the Stone! Please, don't give this The news spread..."
Amy asked curiously: "The Sword in the Stone? Isn't that a powerful magic sword? Is Alfred willing to give it to you?"
"It doesn't matter! I can get it!" the little girl puffed up her chest confidently, "It's just a handful. There are several more in Alfred's court! Every time he is short of military funds, he will sell them A handful...well, what happened!"
The little girl suddenly covered her mouth, but it was too late.
"It's okay if you don't want this kind of sword in the stone, but I'm very interested in you."
In the eyes of the little girl, the evil demon Ella was reaching out to her.
"Iengale is not a girl's name. What is your real name?"
"...Merry."
"Okay, Mellie. Let me tell you, I'm very angry now. Not only did you throw me into the water once, but you almost froze Amy just now. Do you know what a serious diplomatic incident this is?"
"Ugh... One person does the work and the other takes the responsibility! How about I steal another... two, no, three Swords in the Stone?"
Ella shook her head: "There is only one thing I want to know: What is your magic? What is its principle? How is it different from the magic of the Seven Hills Empire, Tianfang Empire, and Tepui? ?”
"……this one?"
"Knowledge is much more valuable than gold."
Mei Li swallowed her saliva: "I really didn't expect the purple robe of the Seven Hills Empire to ask this question... Longinus told me clearly that day that he would teach everyone this matter. With..."
"Longinus!???"
Amid the surprised sounds from Ella and Amy, Mellie quickly covered her mouth again. But Ella had no intention of letting her go. She grabbed Mellie's body and shook her hard, and asked loudly: "Did you just say Longinus? The warrior of the Seven Hills Empire who killed the Son of God eight hundred years ago. ?He was talking to you? How old are you this year?"
Mellie tilted her head to one side and whispered: "Delphi..."
"Delphi, the ancient city of the Seven Hills Empire? Why mention it there?"
"Didn't you just want to ask about the principles of magic? There is an oracle in your ancient city of Delphi - the most powerful oracle in history. The principles of all magic are contained there."
"The principle of all magic? You mean, not only the magic of our Qiqiu Empire, but also your magic, the magic of the Tianfang Empire, and the magic of the Tepui civilization, can all be explained by that oracle? Meili, this What exactly is the oracle..."
"Go and see for yourself...I can't say."
"Huh? Then I will publicize your true identity everywhere..."
"I really can't say!" Melly's forehead was dripping with sweat.
"Your Majesty, it seems that if you don't mean anything, this little sister won't tell the truth."
"You can kill me or chop me into pieces as you please! But if you read those words out, I will really die!"
When Ella wasn't paying attention, Mellie suddenly roared, her body immediately flashed from the boat to the land, and ran away.
Just when Ella was shocked, someone hurried to the shore and shouted to Ella on Najirfa: "Shield Girl! Come down quickly! There is a letter from Boss Hestein!"
…
…
When Ella returned to Zealand City, a crowd of people had gathered outside Zealand City. Lily and Gan were among the crowd. Alfred had already woken up and was also surrounding them. In the center of the crowd was a middle-aged man, his face was dirty, and his hair was clumps of blood and unknown liquid.
Lily kept urging: "Where is Hestein? How is he? Answer me quickly!"
However, this middle-aged man had just experienced a long run. Several times he tried to answer Lily's questions, but he only said the first two words and began to breathe heavily. Lily couldn't see this, so she pressed her questions even more urgently, but this only made the middle-aged man more nervous, and he hesitated for a long time without saying a word.
So Ella walked over, and when people in Zealand saw her, they all parted ways.
Lily noticed Ella approaching and quickly grabbed her arm and shouted: "Valkyrie! Hestein must be in danger! Opposite us is Ragnar Lodbrok, who has never failed! We Go and save him quickly! Send out troops now!"
"Send troops? Where to send troops? Do you know where Hestein and Ragnar are now?" Ella responded to Lily calmly, and then comforted her, "Relax, I see that the messenger is not injured. The situation should not be very serious.”
Seeing that Lily had calmed down a little, Ella ordered to the soldiers: "Bring him a stool - and bring me one too."
Mellie carefully tugged on Alfred's clothes in the crowd. When Alfred saw Mellie, he first showed a surprised expression, and then lowered his voice and asked: "Ain... Mellie, that burqa" broken?"
"Yes... Afu, go find someone to help me patch it up... I can't see anyone like this."
However, Alfred bent down, raised his index finger and said "Shh", "Wait a moment, what happens next is of great importance, it will affect the situation of the entire Zealand and Scandinavia." .”
——The Scipio clan defeated Sigurd, Halfdan and Ivar in succession at an extreme disadvantage, and has gained sufficient prestige in Zealand. This group of pirates does not have such a strong sense of blood. If Hestein fails in this situation, Sealand will most likely change hands.
Alfred stared at Ella with a stern expression. How will this ambitious woman act next? Directly refuse rescue and take Hestein's place? Pretending to rescue Hestein, but being late on purpose to win more people's hearts? Or are there other smarter ways to take power into your own hands?
