Gregory knew that Gottfried was angry. He didn't think there was anything wrong with what he just said, but in order to find something to say, he still coughed and said:
"It is precisely because I know my own insignificance that I came to visit Master Gottfried. I heard that Master is a descendant of the twelve oldest Semitic tribes. He has inherited the traditions of the twelve tribes and has mastery of close control." Is that the skill of the infinite gods?"
Grigory was actually very hostile towards Gottfried and his ancient skills. But the words that came out of his mouth were somewhat humble. This humility comes from his respect for the unknown itself, not the accuracy of this knowledge.
Gottfried was startled to hear Gregory mention the ancient traditions of the Semites. He tried his best not to show his surprise on his face, but his ability to control his expression was so poor that he seemed to be trying to cover it up.
"I don't know about the ancient traditions of the Semites!" Gottfried turned his back and waved his hand back, "I'm going back to continue proving the proposition. The point of understanding is before I come out next time. Get out of my yard!”
"That - Master Gottfried? Are you a member of the Pythagoreans?"
Ella finally overcame the feeling of disgust in her heart and picked up the gift placed on the ground.
"This is honey! There is also a fur coat! I want to learn the magic of the Pythagorean school. Please accept me as your disciple..."
"Pythagoreans?"
Gottfried turned back and looked at Ella from above to below, then from bottom to top, and finally fixed his sight on the gift in Ella's hand.
"You are a businessman, right...just find a teacher to learn addition, subtraction, multiplication and division! The wisdom of mathematics is not something people like you can understand!"
Before Ella could defend herself, Gottfried rushed into his little house and slammed the door.
"Wait, wait a minute, how could this be possible...!"
"No need to shout, there is almost no magic in him." Gregory stopped Ella who was about to break down the door, "He may indeed be a master of mathematics, but he is definitely not a powerful magician. Master. Both you and I have traveled in vain."
"Huh? Aren't you a member of the Pythagoreans?"
Ella put away the furs and honey dejectedly.
The last ray of light struggled painfully in the western sky for a few times, and was eventually swallowed up by the night. Night has come, and candlelight, which is not very bright, gradually shines through the windows of the short houses in Brizania Village.
"Miss, are you here alone?"
"Huh? Well..."
Ella did not want to reveal to Gregory that five hundred of her men were ambushing outside the village.
"As far as I know, there are no hotels nearby. However, I know there is a church not far away. If you don't mind, I can introduce it to you and let you stay there tonight as part of your donation. The reward of copper plates.”
Gufu
"Thanks, but I have somewhere to go."
Ella waved goodbye to Gregory, then picked up the furs and honey and walked out of the village.
Soon, the military operation to acquire radish will begin.
However, when she was about to reach the entrance of the village, a row of firelight suddenly appeared at the entrance of the village. A group of bandits wearing togas rushed into the village with torches and machetes, shouting.
In addition to Ella, there were two villagers walking together at the entrance of the village. They were an old couple who had just returned from selling radishes in a distant market. The wife was holding the few coins she had earned tightly in her hands, while the husband was struggling to carry the half-sack of radishes left in the sale. He walked slowly towards home.
The group of robbers rushed in front of them, and without saying a word, they cut off half of the husband's head with a knife. The half bag of radishes slipped from the husband's hand and fell to the ground. A few of them were crushed by the robbers' feet.
Amid the wife's screams of fear, the group of robbers rushed into the village and set fires everywhere.
Ella was walking not far from the couple. She has experienced war and is no longer afraid of blood. Seeing the pool of blood on the ground slowly turning the radish red, anger ignited in her eyes. She thought these bandits were her soldiers, so she took a few steps to stand in front of the bandits, and shouted sternly: "Which team are you from? Who asked you to come in? Who asked you to kill?"
These three questions were more severe than the last, which frightened the bandits. But when they saw that the person standing in front of them was just an ordinary girl, a robber slapped Ella and knocked her to the ground.
Only then did Ella realize that the bandits in front of her were not her soldiers. But it was too late.
The honey fell to the ground and broke into pieces. But the honey flowing out inspired the greed of the robbers. A robber with quick eyesight and quick hands snatched the fur coat from Ella's hand. The remaining robbers became red-eyed when they saw their fur coats being snatched away. They rushed up to press Ella to the ground and rummaged through her body to find valuable things.
"What are you doing? Do you really think we are here to rob? Go and set fire to me!"
Valhalla walked out from behind the crowd and stopped the bandits. This group of robbers were all under Duke Otto. They killed people and set fire to the village of Brizania in order to draw out the garrison of the nearby castle so that they could seize the opportunity to seize the supplies that the Earl of Île-de-France had hoarded there. Wearing a toga was to frame Ella and the others.
However, Ella recognized Valhalla at a glance and asked subconsciously: "Are you the leader of that caravan?"
Valhalla took a closer look and was almost scared to death. Who is this woman pinned to the ground if not the "triumphant" who robbed their goods?
But this fear only lasted for a moment. After discovering that Ella had no followers and that Ella seemed to have no magic at all, Valhalla showed a sinister smile on her face. He looked around and waved his hand down like a knife, signaling his men to kill the woman immediately.
Ella tried to struggle, but to no avail. She never imagined that such a large group of bandits would suddenly appear in such a small village.
Under that blind blade, Ella suddenly transformed from the world-famous "Triumpher" back into the incompetent queen without magic.
She thought of her parents, who were also imprisoned and executed by the enemy because they went to discuss trade. And the cause of her own death might be even stupider than this.
However, just when the knife was about to touch Ella, it suddenly disappeared.
