In the last interstellar world, Annie killed the poor native god Aemon in a siege and almost unified the entire Koprulu sector. After the disaster was over, she once again used the space gem to embark on her journey home. road.
This time, she finally got her wish and returned to the world of Valoran that she had dreamed of!
However, it is a pity that the Valoran she first arrived at was actually Valoran in another parallel plane? Then, under the reminder of her little bear Tibbers, Annie took action in time to save a little girl named Daisy who fell into the water. By the way, she also taught another little girl named Annie in the parallel world how to go there correctly. Use magic! Before leaving, you also gave the right party some important relevant knowledge, so that the other party would not lose the face of Anne, the head of state and queen?
Annie felt a little want to laugh when she thought of herself in that parallel world! Who is she? How could the Flame Queen not even be able to control the basic power of flames? That absolutely does not exist!
What happens next is more complicated...
In the parallel world of Valoran, she found those gods who were good at traveling between different planes and had a good 'negotiation' with them!
After that, she finally got what she wanted, using the little connection she had with the original world, plus the blackmailed knowledge, to successfully return to her hometown, to her place of gray order in the land of voodoo. In the mage's home...
Then, what surprised and puzzled Anne the most was that although she had been wandering in several worlds for a long time, when she finally returned to her home, she cried and shouted desperately and threw herself at her mother. When she was in Maureen's arms, her ears were pinched hard and pulled away? !
At the beginning, little Annie even thought that she must have not been back for a long time, which was why her mother was angry or something else.
But she never expected that after she cautiously and tentatively talked with Amorin's mother for a while, she was surprised to find an even more amazing thing: her mother Amorin actually said to her, Did she just go out for an afternoon of fun?
However, if she calculated it carefully, the time she spent wandering outside would add up to about two years since she was in New York! Is the world of endless planes really that magical? Even the flow of time is different?
In the end, Annie didn't want to recall the next thing anymore...
She even had some doubts, was the voodoo land of Valoran she returned to also a parallel world? Then, maybe her Amorin mother is also fake, someone else’s mother? !
Because Annie still remembers it very clearly! On the night when she returned home, when their family began to gather together to eat dinner happily, Anne was happy while eating and asked her father Gregory and mother A Maureen recounts her experiences during this time.
For example: through a magical portal, I arrived at a magical place called Earth, went to school for a period of time, beat up a group of evil aliens and stole a few infinity stones; and then, went to He conquered the world of Azeroth, took a group of fire elements as his subordinates, and finally became the cute leader of a powerful force? Finally, he inexplicably ran away to a great interstellar era, and became the head of state who ruled the entire Koprulu sector. He had countless powerful fleets and soldiers under his command, and the federal population reached hundreds of billions, etc.!
That's it, Anne happily shared her own stories while eating the familiar taste of dinner made by her mother. Then, the reward in exchange was just a wooden spoon from her mother Amorin. On your own head? !
At that time, her mother, Amorin, didn’t believe her at all? Did you tell her to eat quickly and stop daydreaming? !
"Stop messing around, little Annie! Eat quickly, then take a shower early and get ready to go to bed."
These were the exact words her mother Amorin said after she gave Annie a spoon in the head!
Then, in order to prove that she was not talking nonsense, Anne, who was very angry, took out a lot of strange things in the dining room of her castle on the spot.
For example: the scepter of the evil god Loki, the gem that can control time, the cosmic cube (space gem) that she uses to travel through different worlds and planes, and a lot of standard inventory of firearms and ammunition from the Federation of Heroes, and even... …some super big Ivan with three upside-down funnels printed on his logo? !
Of course, at that time, when little Annie realized that she had picked out something dangerous by mistake, she immediately reached out and put away the big, round and long thing again.
Then, things took a major turn! Her parents seemed to believe what she said, but at the same time, she also discovered that these two old people no longer cared about her after seeing these things!
After the couple were surprised, the mysterious warlock Mr. Gregory took away the artifact scepter that was said to be able to control the minds of living beings, and then he happily ran to the laboratory to study it seriously...
And the shadow witch Amorin was not far behind. With gleaming eyes, she used the fastest speed in her life to grab the time stone that was said to be able to lock time and keep people young forever! Then, after just casually telling little Annie to take a bath and go to bed early, he also plunged into her shadow alchemy workshop without a trace...
Until the next night, Annie never saw her two unscrupulous father and mother come out of their respective laboratories again!
After the two of them discovered what they were interested in, they had completely forgotten that they had a daughter like Anne...
So, on the second night, Anne could only stay alone in the deserted castle called home, eating the tasteless cheese and bread that the servants brought her?
The more she thought about it, the more angry and aggrieved she became, and she felt that she had been severely neglected. In a fit of anger, Annie once again used the space gem to open a portal at random, and ran away from home in anger!
At the same time, she secretly made a decision: in a short period of time, she would never go back to see those two unscrupulous parents again! Absolutely not! She will definitely run outside for several years and not come back, unless they beg themselves to go back!
Hum! Fortunately, she missed them so much before, but in the end, she was not as important as two broken stones in their eyes? Could it be that they really picked her up from the wild?
…
So, after passing through the portal of the space gem, little Annie came here, outside the gate of this seemingly backward town! From the sign on the wooden sign at the intersection of the small town in front of her, she knew that its name seemed to be Bray Town?
This is a very backward place...
This place is a bit like the Caribbean world she has been to before? It seems that it is at most the level of the medieval era?
Because she could tell from the dirty, muddy cobblestone paths and dark kerosene street lamps that the technology in this world was not that good? Basically, is this still the era where communication relies on shouting, public security relies on dogs, and transportation relies on walking on two legs?
Of course, Anne was also very sure that this world was definitely not on some earth, nor was it any world she had ever been to!
Because Anne could easily tell it from the information about the faint moon and other stars in the sky!
After experiencing several worlds, she has become adept at judging whether the place she is in is a world she has been to based on the stars or the trajectory of stars, etc.
Moreover, when she was in the interstellar world, during the time she stayed on Star Haven, she had studied in depth how to be a qualified fleet commander!
However, she just gave up quickly after learning for a while...
After all, in the interstellar world, a qualified captain has too much to learn!
Those "Electronic War Theory", "Target Identification", "Star Chart Mapping", "Force Field Theory", "Invisibility Theory", "Shield Management" and so on, it seems that there are too many and boring, and they are not interesting at all. nothing!
Anne herself barely read some basic knowledge about star map mapping and positioning. She no longer had the mood or perseverance to read the rest.
"It's so annoying! Tibbers... the streets here are really dirty!"
Holding her little bear Tibbers in one hand and carefully holding up the hem of her gorgeous dress with the other, Annie was wandering around casually in this dim town that resembled the medieval style of Earth.
From time to time, some passers-by wearing shabby linen robes or drunken men passed by. Then, they looked at little Annie with surprise and a little fear. Even a passing two-wheeled carriage stopped for her. gave way.
Based on Anne's clothing, they thought the little girl was a child from a noble family passing by, so no one dared to talk to her casually or do anything malicious.
"Really annoying!"
Looking at the narrow streets with fewer and fewer pedestrians, the sky is getting darker and darker, and it seems that there is a tendency of heavy rain?
Therefore, Annie felt that it was necessary for her to find a place to rest and eat before it started to rain!
Now, she ran away from home just because of anger, and she didn't plan to do things like taking in a younger brother or grabbing other people's houses to move into! After all, no matter what, she was just here to relax, not to fight.
Anne has also discovered a long time ago that the magic elements in this world are extremely rich. There must be some powerful existence? Therefore, before she has figured out what is going on in this world, she is not ready to make trouble too early.
She herself is a cute, smart, beautiful, kind and lovable little loli!
(…)
(Tibbers's eyes seemed to light up suddenly. Then, after thinking about it, he still held it back forcibly. He did not dare to jump out and continue to do things like vomiting at this time. At this time, he went to offend his little master. The bad luck is not a good choice.)
After walking around for a while, Annie discovered that the town of Bray was actually not very big, with not many houses, probably only a thousand people? So, she quickly walked to a large two-story house.
Outside its gate, except for a few smelly horses tied up in the stables on the other side, there is only a dim kerosene lamp hanging in the wind next to the sign carving a white prancing horse. Shaking and shaking.
"Okay, it seems like this is the only place..."
Annie actually doesn't like coming to places like this that look dirty and noisy. She has been to the shabby pot bar in the past, and of course she knows that the things in such a place are definitely not good. food!
In fact, in such a backward world, there must be nothing delicious, not even remotely comparable to the buffets in their federal army canteen, right?
However, after looking up at the darkening sky and the dark clouds above her head that had begun to drop raindrops, she could only sigh softly and prepare to open the wooden door and walk in.
There are not many choices now. This small town seems to have only this hotel! She could only make do with one night here temporarily, otherwise, what else could she do...
Pouting her little lips, Annie could only try to avoid the small pits on the ground filled with sewage. She quickly walked to the wooden door of the Prancing Horse Hotel, then stood on tiptoes and looked inside through the crack in the door. After that, he stretched out his thin white index finger, slammed the door, pushed open the somewhat shabby wooden door, and walked in with his legs raised.
As soon as she took two steps in, Annie wrinkled her cute little nose in embarrassment.
Although it was obviously much better inside than the dark and damp streets outside, she still didn't like the noisy and hot and humid environment here!
Moreover, the bad smell from those bad uncles who were drinking mixed with the smell of alcohol made her feel very uncomfortable!
She hasn't been in such a bad environment for a long time! To be honest, this kind of harsh environment seems to be far worse than the toilet in the head of state's mansion on her planet Haven?
Ouch...that's so annoying...
Without much choice, she had no choice but to put a force field on herself to isolate harmful gases, and reluctantly walked towards the bar.
"Hey! Do you sell anything to eat here?!"
Holding her little bear in her arms, Annie stood in front of the bar and asked the bald boss who was wiping glasses and whose clothes were relatively clean.
After hearing the clear voice of a woman in this bar, the people who were drinking around subconsciously stopped for a while, and then they all looked towards the bar.
"..."
When they discovered that this was actually just a little girl, and seemed to be the daughter of a noble family, they continued to talk loudly about the topics they were interested in before.
"Oh! Good evening, dear little guest! Excuse me, do you need anything?"
At this time, the hotel owner who heard the voice poked his head over. When he saw a cute little blonde girl who was only a few years old standing in front of the bar, he frowned in surprise and asked.
After looking at the cute and well-behaved little girl in front of him, and then at her clothes and aura that was only seen on those noble lords, the innkeeper asked slightly nervously.
He was well-informed and could tell at a glance that this little girl was definitely not simple! The arrogance and power that penetrated to the bones of the other party could not be found in the families of small businessmen or small nobles.
"I'm hungry! Do you have anything delicious here? Also, remember to prepare a clean room for me right away!"
Looking at the still noisy environment around them, the messy adults and drunkards, little Annie impatiently ordered in a bossy tone.
She was very angry at the behavior of her parents in the voodoo land. She just wanted to eat something and then have a good sleep. If she had anything to do, she had to wait until dawn!
"Delicious food? Of course there is!"
"The room is no problem! We also have the best, most comfortable and cleanest room on the second floor, which is especially suitable for a distinguished little lady like you!"
After being choked by the other party's tone for a while, the hotel owner finally realized what he was saying and quickly flattered him.
"But, may I ask...where are your family or entourage? Why didn't I see them?"
Whether it’s food or accommodation, you have to pay for it!
So, after finishing speaking, the innkeeper quickly stretched his neck and looked out the door, as if he wanted to find the family or escorts who were following the little girl. Maybe, they were setting up the carriage outside now?
"Huh! I actually came here alone! You'd better not mention anything about your family to me now!"
Little Annie is still angry with her unscrupulous parents! Now, she just goes out to relax by herself. She will get anxious with anyone who mentions her family to her!
She doesn't have those two parents who don't care about their daughter!
"Uh... um, I'm sorry, distinguished guest, you have to pay for food and accommodation in this small shop of mine, so..."
After rubbing his hands, the boss felt a little embarrassed.
The person in front of me turns out to be a young girl from a cheating family? That wouldn't be easy... Judging from the other party's appearance, you don't think he has money, right?
However, he seems to have never heard of a little girl with such a temperament in Bray Town, right? Whether it's the mayor's family or the richest businessman's family, Grandet? So, where did she come from?
"money?!"
Little Annie was stunned. After hearing what the other party said, she suddenly remembered that it seemed that you had to pay for eating out!
However, since the world of Azeroth, she has not paid for food for a long, long time! Whether she was in the Flame Palace or the Federation of Heroes, if she wanted to eat something, someone would naturally find ways to get it for her, and it would be free of charge.
"You mean the money is gold, right? Here! Here you go! These should be enough, right?"
Ding…ding ding ding…
Anne reached into her pocket, took it out, then waved her hand casually, and a crisp and sweet sound of gold coins colliding sounded on the wooden bar of the owner of the Prancing Pony Inn.
Little Annie already has no shortage of gold!
Besides, how could Headmaster Anne, who now controls the entire Koprulu Sector, miss the gold? As long as she thinks about it and gives a casual order, the countless large transport ships of the Federal Mining Group will definitely transport enough weight of gold to their head of state!
And you can have as much as you want! No matter how many billion tons it is, they can get it to her within ten working days!
If it were on a single planet, something like gold might really be a rare and precious metal.
However, if you put it in the entire Keprulu Star Region, gold is just an ordinary metal element on the periodic table of elements!
It can really be said that you can get as much as you want. These industrial metals are at least measured in tons!
As long as their Head of State Anne gives an order, even if the entire planet is made of gold, their federal mining industry can find it and try their best to drag it to the capital star area!
In fact, let alone gold, even other more precious minerals or diamonds and gems, their federal mining industry can transport them in units of 10,000 tons!
"This is... gold, gold coins?!"
Seeing the round, golden gold coins spinning in circles on his bar, the boss's eyes suddenly widened! Then, he stretched out his hand, and with lightning speed, he instantly pulled all these cute and charming gadgets into his pocket and put them away.
"Dear guest, just look at it! I will ask my landlady to cook you the most delicious and exquisite dinner right away!"
The heavy gold weighed down his pocket, and the boss, who was in a good mood, quickly shouted to the wife of the chef, hoping that the other party would move faster and not let their distinguished guests wait too long.
"..."
"Didn't I watch it just now?"
"Hey...a little girl from a rich family?"
At the same time, everyone else in the hotel also widened their eyes, stopped drinking and bragging, and all looked at the little girl standing in front of the bar.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the originally bustling hotel suddenly became weird.
They did not hide the greedy eyes on their faces at all, and seemed to be locking the little girl's pocket invariably, as if they were studying: How many cute golden things are there in it?
If they could take it as their own...
"Hmph! What are you looking at! If you look at it again, be careful I will burn you all!"
Anne didn't have time to care about what these people were thinking. She was in a bad mood now. When she saw those malicious eyes, she fiercely stretched out her little fist and raised it to hold it hard. At the same time, a flame flashed across the white and tender little hand!
"If you don't want to die, stay away from me!"
She is in a bad mood right now, this is no joke!
She had been wandering outside for a long time, but after finally returning home, she was ignored by her unscrupulous parents. Now she is super angry! If anyone dares to provoke her at this critical moment, the consequences will definitely be serious!
"Well….."
"Ah ha ha……"
After seeing the strange flash of flames on the little girl's hand, the mercenaries or drunkards with evil intentions turned their heads immediately, and no longer dared to look at this little girl who seemed to be a witch. girl.
After all, beings with mysterious powers are not something that these little mercenaries crawling around at the bottom can afford to offend! Besides, the opponent's pocket doesn't seem to be very big, and he probably doesn't have a few gold coins left, so there's no need to get into trouble for such a small amount of money.
A rare little girl wizard? At this time? !
"Heh...it's a bit interesting..."
At this time, in the corner, there was a man wearing a cloak that covered his eyes and half of his face.
There was a knight's long sword wrapped in a leather scabbard and an oak cup on his desk. When he saw the little girl's movements, he smiled at the corner of his mouth and continued to pick up his wine glass and continued to sip. Sipping.
Originally, he was worried about the little girl's behavior of showing off her wealth. After all, in this bar, there must be no shortage of desperadoes and mercenaries who are willing to risk their lives for money!
Once this little girl leaves this hotel, she will definitely be killed by these people, right?
But now, he felt that he had taken it for granted. In a dangerous place like Middle-earth, someone who could go out casually at night must not be a simple person!
Isn't it true that a little girl who ran out randomly is actually a wizard who can use magic? When did there become so many wizards in Middle-earth?
As far as he knows, aren't the wizards who appear in Middle-earth all those whose abilities are strictly restricted, or who are strictly prohibited from showing extraordinary power in front of mortal races? So, that little girl sitting over there, who is she? What is the purpose of appearing here at this time?
For a moment, the cloaked man couldn't help but frown slightly and began to think wildly...
"Guest! Your sumptuous dinner is here! I promise you will be satisfied!"
"Also, I have asked my daughter to clean your room for you. Is there anything else you would like to give me?"
While others were either surprised or silent, or secretly pondering some inappropriate thoughts, more than ten minutes later, the owner of the hotel diligently personally served the little girl sitting alone at a table. A large plate of sumptuous dinner and a large cup of hot milk were served.
After placing the tableware for the other party, he squatted down and greeted him with a shy face.
"Go away!"
Annie, who was in a bad mood, didn't want to talk to this weird guy who was obsessed with money, so after she glanced at him, she impatiently waved him away from her.
"Okay, okay! Guest, please use it slowly!"
Seeing that this distinguished guest did not like to be disturbed, the boss quickly nodded and took two big steps back with a wink. Then he accidentally bumped into a short man and caused a burst of exclamations.
"Aha! Here are four little guests again! Excuse me, do you need anything?"
"If you want to find a place to stay for a night, we also have some comfortable rooms here, which are especially suitable for you hobbits. I guarantee you will be satisfied!"
The innkeeper who seems to have made a lot of money today is in a good mood now!
So, when he saw four more little hobbits wearing waterproof cloaks coming in outside the door, his attitude was very good! Today, whether he is a child or a dwarf, he looks particularly pleasing to the eye.
"Excuse me, your name is..."
"Yamashita, my name is Yamashita!"
Before his other three companions could interrupt, the first of the four hobbits spoke first.
"Yamashita? Okay..."
The boss said in his mind that he had never heard such a weird name before. It must have been made up on the fly, right? It's just that all the guests are here anyway, and as long as he can make money, he doesn't want to worry about it!
"We are friends of Gandalf, could you please inform him?"
The hobbit had looked around in the inn just now, but he didn't seem to see the bearded Gandalf, so he quickly asked the innkeeper.
"Gandalf...Gandalf...?"
"Oh! I think about it, yes, that's right! Is he that weird old man with a long beard, a gray robe, and a pointed hat?"
After thinking for a while, the innkeeper finally remembered that such a strange old man named Gandalf had come to his Prancing Pony Inn.
"It's a pity that I haven't seen him for almost half a year!"
Just when the hobbit was about to be happy, the innkeeper gloated and shook his head.
It's been a long time since he saw that strange old man who still likes to wander around. Maybe he didn't know where he died long ago, right?
"..."
The hobbits began to fall silent. The four of them worked hard to leave the Shire and arrive here. But in the end, the Gandalf who promised to wait and pick them up here has not appeared for half a year? What a joke!
"Frodo, what do we do now?!"
When the hobbit at the foot of the mountain began to feel depressed, his other three companions came over and asked in a low voice.
"..."
How could this hobbit, who had just introduced himself as Yamashita, know what to do? He raised his eyes and looked around the inn again, but still could not see the familiar figure of Gandalf.
"How about, let's eat something and rest first..."
"Yes, yes! It's better to have two drinks?"
Now, it was raining heavily outside, it was completely dark, and they had traveled such a long journey. Now that they were hungry and destitute, what else could they do except stay here?
"That's right. Since Gandalf hasn't come, can we wait here for a few days and try?"
"Good idea! By the way, I noticed that there seems to be an empty seat over there?"
Then, after one of the chubby hobbits looked at it, his eyes lit up!
Because he saw a quieter place on the other side? Where, there seems to be a beautiful little human girl occupying a big table and eating? Moreover, it was relatively quiet over there, and there were not many idlers to eavesdrop on their subsequent conversation. After all, they Hobbits also had important tasks!
Of course, they were also a little strange. They didn't know why there was such a little human girl in this hotel, which was obviously a bar. Don’t think they are short, but they are definitely much older than this little girl!
