The different world that Annie came to was very large, and it was a mature planet with a complete universe. It also had a complete, vast and connected land, with countless races in it, including humans, elves, demi-humans, and Warcraft. , various monsters, undead and other creatures all live here and have their own areas of activity.
In addition to the city of E-Rantel where Anne had stayed before and the Kingdom of Re-Estije to which it belongs, there are also human supremacist religious fanatics who advocate uniting all humans and annihilating all other non-human races. The "Silian Theocracy", the "Bahas Empire" located to the east of E-Rantel City and which has been invading the kingdom all the year round, the Council of Yagrande to the north of the Kingdom of E-Rantel, and a kingdom in the far southwest corner of the kingdom On the peninsula, there is a special huge wall defense line and the closed "Holy Kingdom", as well as other small tribes and dragon kingdoms scattered in the cracks of each country...
And in the south of this land full of races, there is a huge desert peninsula of death. No one knows what is going on or what creatures are inside. After all, it is a death zone of life, and no one would like to go to that dry place. A place for adventure or exploration.
And further east on the mainland, it is said that there are three major countries in the West and three major countries in the East?
However, because the journey is too far, coupled with the backward navigation conditions and very harsh land transportation environment in this world, no one knows what is going on over there for the time being, and they don’t want to know!
For example, in the palace of Yestije, the capital of the kingdom, the princes and nobles still only fixed their eyes on their one-third of an acre of land, and clamored to give money to someone who once again invaded their borders. Is the Bajas Empire a good look?
'snort! We must not let it go this time! ! '
'The empire is too arrogant and cannot let them continue to wreak havoc. This year we must send out a large army to repel them directly! Then, if conditions permit, attack the empire's mainland in one fell swoop and reach their imperial capital, Aventar! ! '
'Well! '
'We must fight. I'm a little tired of having to resist the invasion of the empire every year, but...'
'Everyone, how should we solve the problem of soldiers? Of course, there are also military expenses, logistics, etc... Your Majesty the King, we all know that you seem to have obtained a large amount of windfall in E-Rantel City, why not... all the military expenses and logistics this time The royal family is responsible, what do you think? '
'Ah……'
'That's right! '
'As the count said, this is indeed good advice! I think if His Majesty the King is willing to use part of the unexpected income as military expenditure, we nobles will definitely be happy to send troops, right? '
'Seconded! '
'Seconded! '
'I agree too! '
'Yes, His Majesty the King can't get huge benefits by himself and be unwilling to share them with us as his subjects, right? Although the city of E-Rantel is indeed the territory of the royal family, and the gold mines discovered there or the huge gold bricks falling from the sky should indeed be collected by the royal family... However, since there will now be a battle on the border of E-Rantel, it is up to the king It is natural for His Majesty to allocate military expenditures. '
'That makes sense! '
'Your Majesty, what do you think? '
'...'
'Well……'
'Let's discuss military expenditures later...'
'It's getting late now, let's talk about this for today, let's break up the meeting! '
'this……'
'snort! '
However, it is a pity that what shocked the nobles and ministers was that the king of a certain Li Yestije Kingdom seemed to be really stingy, or was he worried about something? Anyway, the nobles and ministers of the kingdom who were present at the meeting only knew that when they once again talked about the gold in E-Rantel City and planned to participate and share it, His Majesty the King fell out again. , and directly and appropriately announced that the meeting was temporarily adjourned, so that they could only look at each other and watch helplessly as the other party took the strongest warrior in the kingdom to get up and leave, but there was nothing they could do.
'...'
'...'
In fact, the 'Golden Brick Gate' incident in E-Rantel City is no longer a secret in the kingdom, or even in neighboring countries.
Most of the nobles present also obtained some more specific intelligence and information, and knew that the amount of gold obtained by His Majesty the King from the hands of the inexperienced warrior captain Gazev Stronov was sufficient. There are more than five million ounces, which is equivalent to the financial revenue of the entire kingdom for more than fifty years... And now, that old man Rambossa III has still hesitated until now and has been hiding it. Tucked in, not ready to share with them! ?
It's a pity that although the nobles are dissatisfied, given that the thing fell on the king's own territory, and Rambossa III is relatively powerful, even if they want to make things difficult, they can't find a good excuse. It's just a little bit difficult on the issue of sending troops, but I don't dare to go too far.
So, this matter is at such a stalemate, and the matter of sending troops to attack the empire is likely to be put on hold indefinitely like in previous years?
'His Majesty……'
'Perhaps you should consider their opinions. Although this time is mainly a conspiracy of the Silian Theocracy, it is an indisputable fact that the Bahas Empire often invades our borders... Whenever our national strength is weak, they will Attack with all our strength, and harass us from time to time even if there is no benefit. If things go on like this, even such small fights may put us under huge military pressure. '
'If we can take the opportunity to teach them a profound lesson and give them a good beating, we can at least ensure our country's border peace for decades. This is a great deal for the kingdom! '
After walking out of the corridor, warrior captain Gazef Stronov began to persuade Rambossa III.
If it were the warrior commander's own opinion, he would still agree to take advantage of this moment to have a war against the Bajas Empire, because even if he cannot defeat the opponent, he can still take the opportunity to take the initiative and try his best to consume the opponent's national power and combat capabilities. , which is completely beneficial and harmless.
in particular……
Among them, when the Kingdom of Yestije obtained a large fortune out of thin air and was fully capable of conducting a comprehensive war regardless of consumption without worrying about consuming its own national power? Anyway, in Gazef's view, that piece of gold was obtained for nothing after all, and no one has dared to come forward to claim it. So, use it as military expenses to distribute to soldiers, purchase military supplies, build weapons, and maximize the arming of soldiers. Then storming the empire, is this a brilliant idea and use?
'Gadeff...'
'You have to understand that to suppress the invasion of the empire or to send troops to attack the empire, what is needed is the joint strength of all nobles. That is something that everyone can benefit from. This cannot all be funded by the royal family. This precedent must not be set. , otherwise the disaster will be endless! '
'Anyway...'
'As long as our internal affairs are not handled well, I do not plan to launch a foreign war before the empire officially invades, especially against a powerful empire... There are too many uncertainties there, and we need to be more cautious! '
'Forget it, let's not talk about this for now...'
'How are you doing with your investigation into the affairs of Karn Village and E-Rantel City, especially the information about the adventurer who claims to be a 'Brilliant Diamond' level, the dragon mage Anne Hastur? Where did it come from? '
Regarding the looming divisions within the kingdom and those disobedient nobles, Rambossa III has no good solution for the time being, even if he obtains the kingdom's fiscal revenue equivalent to more than fifty years out of thin air! Because there are some things that cannot be solved with money, and those greedy nobles, even if they give money, it is useless, because after they get it, they will want more, so it is better to just ignore them Woolen cloth!
Therefore, now Rambosa III just wants to hear the warrior commander talk about the affairs of Karn Village and E-Rantel City, and wants to hear some judgments from the other party to see if he can get something from it that can give him Some intelligence that would benefit the kingdom again?
'terribly sorry! '
'His Majesty! Whether it is the powerful magic caster Ainz Ooal Gown or the little girl dragon mage Anne Hastur, we have not yet investigated more specific information! '
'Especially that Lord Ainz Ooal Gown. Although he had a good impression of the kingdom and rescued me and the soldiers of the kingdom, according to the villagers, he was burned into flames by the dragon mage. Skull-shaped, although he finally managed to escape with his companions, but judging from the lack of news and the fact that he has never appeared again, I am afraid it is also a disaster...'
At this point, Warrior Captain Gazef suddenly fell silent.
Because he knows that no one can survive after being burned into a skeleton, not even as powerful as Lord Ainz Ooal Gown! And now, the reason why the other party has not appeared again since the battle in Karn Village must be because he died under the fire spell of that terrible little girl, right?
But he didn't know why Lord Ainz Ooal Gown had a conflict with such a terrifying dragon mage and that little girl... However, it was too late to say anything now. The other party was burned into a skeleton, even if he forced it Relying on his strong strength to save people and escape, he must have run out of energy long ago, and now he may have been sent to a tomb and lying in a sarcophagus.
'Yeah……'
'What a pity! '
'So, Gazef, tell me about that little girl. You said last time that you wanted to meet her that night, but she rejected you? '
Regarding the powerful spellcaster who was probably dead, the dead man named Ainz Ooal Gown, Rambossa III did not want to waste his precious time because the other party was defeated by the even more powerful little girl. They have all been burned into skeletons, and Yanran is now a worthless dead person!
Then, of course, he put all his attention and interest on the other little adventurer girl who seemed to be more powerful and claimed to be a 'Brilliant Diamond' level.
'actually……'
'Your Majesty, it can't be said that I was rejected, because maybe the time I chose that night was a bit inappropriate? Later, I heard from those people from the Black Sword that not long after she refused my meeting, she rushed to a pharmacist's workshop in the city and rescued the five of them. '
'Perhaps that's why she rejected my request for a meeting so simply? '
In this way, while walking with King Rambossa III in the corridor of the palace, Warrior Captain Gazef Stronov whispered everything he knew about the situation.
For example: that little girl easily killed the ninth seat of the original Black Scripture that night, the one who had heroic strength, but later betrayed the Theocracy and seized the secret treasure of the Wind Flower Scripture, and is now in the 'Zhilanon' In the evil and terrifying organization, there is a killer who has a cute appearance and a cruel personality, and capriciously takes people's lives. Clementine likes to kill adventurers and collect their metal plates... and then raided Ye Lan the next day. In the cemetery outside Tire City, he easily eliminated Khajiit Dale Badantir, one of the twelve disciples of Zhilanon, together with the ancient dragon summoned by the other party, and then flew to the west of the kingdom and arrived at the royal capital. ·The story of Yestije was told in detail.
Of course, some of the information was obtained by Warrior Captain Gazef from the cemetery outside the city of E-Rantel, and then compared with the confessions of the Black Sword adventurer team, They should be inseparable.
'! ! '
'You mean...she is in the royal capital right now, Yestije is here? ! '
Rambossa III was a little surprised. He stopped and glanced at the valet warrior beside him, and then continued to walk forward slowly for a while.
'Yes! '
'I followed her almost all the way back to the capital. Now she is in the city and has rented a mansion in the west of the city. I have bought that mansion as soon as possible. There should be no one there for the time being. It's easy to disturb her! '
'correct! '
'Your Majesty, look at this, this is the gold coin she gave when she paid one year's rent, and I got it back from the original landlord with gold worth twice the weight! '
As he spoke, Warrior Captain Gazef dug through the pockets inside his clothes, and finally handed a gold coin with scalding body heat into the old and withered hands of His Majesty the King.
'Well? ! '
'strangeness……'
'This doesn't seem to be a gold coin from any kingdom we know! It's not one of the known ones from ancient times, and I've never seen this kind of writing...'
After squinting at the weird gold coin for a while, and filtering it through his mind, which was no longer very energetic and not very clear, Rambossa III quickly came to his conclusion. .
'Yes! '
'Your Majesty, I have asked scholars from the kingdom to check it before. None of them recognized the words on this gold coin... so I thought that they were probably coming from the distant east, or the east of the even more distant east. of! '
'! ! '
'Gregef, you mean, she might be from the east? ! '
'Yes, Your Majesty! '
'It is indeed possible, but I can't be sure! '
'Well……'
Rambossa III stopped talking and began to rub the gold coin and frowned in thought.
'Gadeff, you said...'
'Could she be from that magical place like some of the previous Six Gods, Eight Desire Kings or Thirteen Heroes? '
Rambossa III did not say clearly what 'that magical place' was, because he knew that as the warrior captain of the kingdom and also his personal attendant, the other party must know what he was referring to, because it came from To a secret legend unknown to ordinary people.
'...'
'Your Majesty, I guess not! '
'no? '
'right! Because I have also checked the information, and the gold coins used by the other party are different from those used by some of the Six Gods, Eight Desire Kings, or Thirteen Heroes! Whether it’s text, size, weight or pattern, the difference is so obvious! '
Warrior Captain Gazef said firmly under the king's gaze that he did not believe that the other party came from the legendary magical place called 'YGGDRASIL', because all the known intelligence now pointed to other places. , he believed in his own judgment, and even more so in those tangible evidences.
'That's it...'
'So, Gazef, do you think we should contact each other now? '
'His Majesty! '
'I think it's best not to do it yet! '
'Well? '
'Tell me about your...'
'! ! '
'oh! My dear Lana! ! '
'ah! '
'Father! And Your Majesty the Warrior Commander! '
Just when the king was about to continue to say something to his attendants, suddenly, they saw the front and saw his own daughter appearing with the other party's little follower, Clem, and running towards them. , he temporarily left behind the chaotic and clueless things that he didn't know how to deal with, and turned to talk to his lovely little daughter.
'...'
The warrior commander on the other side nodded to the third princess of the kingdom, Lana Thiel Charlton Lyle Vanessa, and then stood aside without saying a word, not intending to disturb her at this time. It is a rare family happiness for His Majesty the King. After all, His Majesty the King is already very busy with state affairs, so he should have some personal time of his own.
As for the matter they just talked about, we can discuss it another day, because it is not urgent! Moreover, in Warrior Captain Gazef's view, it was always a little bad for them to contact the little girl in a hurry, especially without a good excuse.
And at this time...
In the wealthy and aristocratic district of the West City, the capital of the Kingdom of Li Yestije, a certain troubled little girl was having a headache for the huge courtyard and house she had just acquired!
Because, after Anne arrived at Li Yestije, she rented this mansion as soon as possible! Originally, she wanted to buy it directly, but the down-and-out little noble refused to sell it, so she had to reluctantly rent it... But now the problem arises. People who rent or sell houses will not give them away or provide them. Servants, and besides, there were no servants here originally, so now this has led to an embarrassing phenomenon:
In such a big house, there are about twenty rooms and halls of various sizes, as well as a large and messy courtyard, and now she is the only one living here deserted?
"..."
(ー`′ー)
Although Magic Annie can easily clean up the house and courtyard, such as the simple tricks she saw from Hogwarts, it is very simple to use them to automatically clean up the room or courtyard, but , but she didn’t want to do that!
so……
She is worried now and is considering whether to recruit some servants, but is she worried that those guys will be disobedient or make herself dissatisfied and cause trouble?
"Really, if I had known earlier, I would have stayed in a hotel..."
?°(°ˉ??ˉ?°)°?
Anne regretted renting this luxurious mansion.
After all, if she has to prepare and handle all the messy things like eating, sleeping, cleaning, maintenance, and lighting management by herself, then the experience will definitely be far inferior to staying in a hotel! Besides, she came here to have fun, not to play house or do housework. Is that kind of annoying thing what she, Queen Anne, should do?
"Dear Tibbers..."
(*^▽^*)
"People know that you have the most bad ideas. Please tell me quickly, what should I do now?"
o(?ω?)o
After much deliberation, Annie seemed to be unable to think of any good solution, so she had to ask for help from her bad little bear who often had no sense of existence and was often used to vent her anger and bully her.
(Dear little master...haven't you just conquered a lot of giant dragons in this world? Summon their nests of dragon springs over, and then turn them all into human forms, and let them serve you directly as your servants. Isn’t that enough?
(● ̄(?) ̄●)
——Knowing that his troubled little master might be unwilling to summon creatures from other worlds or create life to interfere with this world, Tibbs thought for a while and then suggested this. It didn't dare not cooperate, because its bad little master was talking to it properly. If it dared to say no at this time, the other party would definitely turn his face in an instant, and then he would have to kill it in anger. You can't twist your neck 1080 degrees! )
"ha!"
?(????)?
"Tibbers, you've come up with a good idea that's not a bad idea. It's worth noting how nice I am to you!"
???(?)????
Just do it!
Annie quickly ignored the bad little bear who had made the perfect suggestion just now, and opened the portal directly, preparing to have a good communication with an old dragon king of the frost dragon clan, and convey her undoubted and Refusal of orders.
Because she didn't want to be watched, this time, when Anne came to the capital of the Kingdom of Li Yestije, she landed far away and used the teleportation spell to throw the frost dragon back to the Angelicia Mountains. Force, prepared the necessary Time to summon again? But now, since she needed the other party again, she had no choice but to summon him in advance.
As for the Frost Dragon Clan's inability to turn into human form, it is not difficult for Annie at all, because she has many ways. Whether it is teaching the other party simple spells to turn into human form or helping them herself, it is just her. A matter of thought.
