In the northernmost part of the Angelicia Mountains, in the mountains of the endless plateau snow-capped mountains near the sea, there was originally a tunnel city inside the mountain formed by hollowing out the mountain. It was the demihuman race, the original dwarves. The royal city of the kingdom, a very grand and huge mountain city!
However, since the dwarves were defeated by the frost dragons of the Angelicia Mountains a long time ago and have been enslaved by the frost dragons, this originally magnificent royal city has long been abandoned by the dwarves. , turned into a nest for the Frost Dragon Clan, and the dwarves were forced to disperse into mountain towns formed by different mines deep in the Angelicia Mountains to continue to survive tenaciously. .
For countless years, in the mountains of the Angelicia Mountains, the frost dragon clan, which is huge, powerful and has a growing population, has become the dominant force here by virtue of their powerful strength, and has surrounded them. Encountered an enemy!
Here, in addition to the dwarves who have been enslaved by them, even the Quagoa who often have disputes with the dwarves and are also very good at digging mines and mountains are no exception. They were also used by the frost dragons not long ago. enslaved by the power of.
but……
Since half a year ago, the dwarves and Quagoa people who were enslaved by the Frost Dragon Clan finally saw the retribution of the Frost Dragon Clan that had been oppressing them. They were killed by a little girl caster who appeared out of nowhere. Beat them up and enslave them in turn?
So, since then, the frost dragons entrenched in the Angelicia Mountains have begun to have a little master, and the dwarves and Quagoa have also had a master who is not so hated by them and who they admire very much!
After all, the existence that can single-handedly make the entire Frost Dragon clan surrender is certainly enough to make the dwarves and Quagoa people feel sincere admiration and awe. This is because the dwarf clan and Quagoa people have united for This can be seen by the fact that their master's master built and dedicated a mithril throne enchanted with rune technology! Although, their master's master didn't seem to like their gifts too much, and he almost never sat on that throne a few times?
But no matter what, it is an indisputable fact that the owner of the Angelicia Mountains has changed from a group of frost dragons to a powerful little girl spellcaster!
And this is exactly today. A group of humans braved the huge wind and snow, traveled thousands of miles and arrived outside the gate of the huge mountain city that was the royal city of the original dwarf kingdom and the nest of the original frost dragon clan. The reason is!
'! ! '
'who is it? ! '
'stop! Stop the comings! ! '
Seeing this group of envoys carrying the flag of the Kingdom of Li Yestije, wearing thick fur hoods, coats and cloaks, walking step by step through the snow, the few who were guarding the mountain The fully armed dwarves outside the huge gate of the city picked up the weapons in their hands and semi-surrounded the visitor.
'etc! '
'Dear gentlemen, we are envoys from the Kingdom of Li Yestije. We are here this time to ask for a meeting with your Excellency Orasadark Heliliar, the general manager of the Frost Dragon Clan! '
Seeing the dwarves surrounding them, the messenger who was walking in front and carrying the flag hurriedly shouted.
'Come on! '
'We know that you are the envoy of the Kingdom of Li Yestije. We saw your flag last time. Otherwise, we would have fired arrows just now! '
'Tell me, what's the matter with you coming to Lord Heliliar? '
A dwarf with a beard tied into several braids walked up. After at least casually checking the visitor, he asked directly without searching.
They were not worried that these guys in front of them were hiding weapons or would be harmful to Lord Heliliar, because they knew that these guys would definitely not be able to defeat the old frost dragon! Of course, if they can really beat him, they will definitely not mind... Because no one in their dwarf clan will like the grumpy old frost dragon. If the other party is killed, they will definitely drink more in private How many cups!
'We have something important to discuss with the manager, His Excellency Olasadhark Heliliar. Could you please let me know if it's convenient? '
After speaking, the messenger who came forward to talk took out a bag of heavy gold coins from his pocket with a wink, and then stuffed it directly into the other party's hand. Obviously, this is not the first time he has been here, so he seems to be very clear about the ins and outs.
'! ! '
'It's a lie that you have something to discuss with Lord Heliliar. You actually want to see the master of one of our masters just like last time, right? '
'This time you came in time, one of our masters' masters just came back! '
Seeing the heavy bag handed over by the other party, the dwarf leader's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly took it, pretending to be fine, put it away, and then replied with a smile and squinted eyes.
'Very good! '
'Can you give us an update? '
'This... I'm afraid it won't work! '
'Why? ! '
'No reason, you can look up and look up...'
Seeing that the other party was anxious and had received the benefits, the dwarf leader did not want to embarrass the other party, so he pointed directly at the sky above their mountain range and said.
'? ? '
'That is……'
'Oh my God! Is that a sky city? ! '
'It's so high...'
Following the dwarf leader's fingers, the envoys from the Kingdom of Li Yestije exclaimed, unable to believe what they saw.
'! ! '
'That is……'
At this time, an old man in the envoy team who also wore a hood opened his eyes in shock.
'No way? Why is it here? ! '
The old man wearing a hood, the old woman who had not spoken much along the way, finally began to have bursts of incredible colors in her eyes and face.
'...'
'Why is it here? That little girl, what is the connection between her and the Eight Desire Kings? Is that a coincidence or inevitable? ! '
'It should be inevitable, right? '
'Ah! However, think about it, if the other party is not connected with the Eight Desire Kings, how could he be so powerful? Not only did he defeat the Platinum Dragon King, he was able to escape unharmed after causing trouble in the Silian Theocracy, and he also enslaved the Frost Dragon clan. Now, Did you even bring that thing here? ! '
'? ? '
'Hello! '
'What's the matter, Lord Rigrid? ! '
'? ? '
'Your Excellency Rigrid...'
'No, nothing! You should have been here last time, right? Then follow the last procedure and report it! I believe they are right. The owner of their frost dragon, the little girl, must be back. '
After a while, the old man finally came back to his senses after repeated reminders from his entourage. After shouting his instructions, he looked up again at the floating city in the sky, which seemed to be only the size of a fist. , and sighed quietly.
That floating city must be the one she imagined!
Before, they had not seen it when they were in the distance, and it was not until they looked up here that they discovered that it was precisely because of a certain magic shield above. After all, they had been to that place before and borrowed equipment.
'We just asked, I'm afraid it's not possible today! '
'! ! '
'Why? '
'Because the dwarves have no way to go up. They need to wait until the Frost Dragon clan comes down to receive food tomorrow morning before they have a chance to report...'
'Is that so? '
'Come, Lord Rigrid, they have prepared a place for us to rest. We need to rest here for one night. '
'...'
'That's fine! '
She raised her head again and looked at the floating city that she had filled in. She felt that there was no good solution at the moment, and it would not matter if the matter was delayed for one night, so she nodded and followed the dwarf leader in front of her who was waving to greet them. They walked in one after another, following the huge pothole city hidden in the heart of the mountain...
That’s right!
Above the Angelicia Mountains is a huge and empty floating city that Anne found in a desert in the south, protected by a magic barrier, exquisite, beautiful and full of greenery!
In addition to the island as the main body of the floating city, there is also a central castle above the center of the city. There seems to be some magical magic in the castle that collects water vapor or creates water sources. It has the ability to make countless water flows like waterfalls. It flows continuously into the small lake in the center of the city and gradually spreads along the ditches and rivers to the entire floating island city, moisturizing the air and the earth here, watering the countless flowers, plants and trees, and supplying the city The residents need what they need, and the excess will flow directly to the Angelicia Mountains below, and form a series of gorgeous seven-color rainbows hanging on the mountains in the sun...
But it is a pity that this floating city is now an empty city!
Except for the thirty guardians and the rare frost dragons, young dragons and birds and beasts occasionally seen passing by in the city, there is no one alive here. It seems extremely silent, beautiful and desolate, and There is also a unique style of architecture that is different from the Kingdom of Li Yestije.
Until the afternoon of the next day...
After waiting for a day and a night, the envoys from the Kingdom of Li Yestiji were finally received and were able to reach the floating city at least 10,000 meters above the ground through an opened portal.
So, these envoys were shocked all the way along the beautiful but empty city, following a frost dragon, to the central castle, and were able to meet a yawning, sitting man. On the throne made of mithril, it looked like a little girl had just woken up.
"..."
(っ̯-｡)
"Oh~!"
٩(๑´0`๑)۶
Anne glanced at the messy messengers and found that she didn't recognize any of them, so she stretched again.
'Hello! '
'Dear Brilliant Diamond Adventurer, Powerful Dragon Mage, Master of the Frost Dragon Clan in the Angelicia Mountains, Savior of the Royal Capital of Li Yestije, and Powerful Grand Magic Chanter Anne Hastur , nice to meet you, we bring you the sincere greetings from His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Li Yestije and the Third Princess! '
Soon, a messenger whom Anne said she didn't recognize first took off the hood on his head, revealing his wrinkled old face. Then he took two steps forward and faced her who was sitting on the throne with no facial expression at all. He bowed politely and made a big salute and showed his identity.
"Eh?"
(๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
"Strange, who are you? People don't seem to know you!"
('•̌ωก̀)
Queen Anne, who rubbed her eyes and saw clearly the faces of those who came, said that she didn’t recognize any of those guys! And if she hadn't heard those frost dragons say that this was the third time they came here to look for her, Ken would not have agreed to the request of strangers like them, right?
After all, Annie usually only likes to play by herself or with people she knows well, so she won't get together with these strangers casually!
"Hello……"
"Dear Archmage Anne, my name is Rigrid. I am a member of the original Blue Rose, but I have retired now. I accepted the Blue Rose and the third princess Lana Tielle Xia. This comes at the request of His Highness Erdon Lyle Vansef."
The old man spoke politely, without the slightest hint of daring to offend.
In fact, she is not only a member of the original Blue Rose, but also one of the "Thirteen Heroes" of the previous era. Her strength can even surpass anyone in the current Blue Rose, including Captain La. Hagi is included! In fact, even if everyone in 'Blue Rose' unites, they may not be her opponent!
"Oh okay……"
(^～^;)ゞ
Anne remembered, she seemed to have met the third princess and the captain of Blue Rose? However, she has almost forgotten what they look like. She only knows which guys are a group of troublesome guys, that's all!
"Then what's the matter with you?"
↜(ψ｀▽′)o
"If not, I'm going to have breakfast and lunch! But I haven't prepared any for you. You can go to the dwarf city below to find whoever wants to eat. Now that city has been returned to them."
(๑‾ꇴ‾๑) Hehe!
Little Annie felt a little hungry after sleeping in the sun, so now that she had seen them, no matter what happened to these guys, she hoped they would get out as soon as possible and not delay her eating and resting, because she was I'm very busy and I really don't have much free time to waste on strangers like this!
Of course, even if she has time, she doesn't want to waste it on such a stranger~!
"etc!"
"Your Excellency, Archmage Anne, we have an important letter here, which His Majesty the King and Her Royal Highness the Princess requested must be delivered to you as soon as possible!!"
Seeing that a certain troubled little girl was planning to end the meeting and drive away the person without even saying a few polite words, the old woman was stunned for a moment, and then she quickly stopped her. He immediately took out a roll of parchment from his arms and handed it over respectfully.
It contains all the reasons why she came here this time, including the affairs of the Bahas Empire and Ainz Ooal Gown of the Sorcerous Kingdom, as well as the preparations of the Li Yestij Kingdom to resist the enemy's invasion, plus King Rambossa III and the Golden Princess Lana asked each other to help deal with the evil spellcaster who was burned to a skeleton but did not die, and then turned into an undead and frantically wanted to embezzle the kingdom's land... Of course... , and there must be written in it the remuneration the kingdom is willing to pay for it, etc.
Therefore, after handing the letter over and seeing the other party begin to read it quickly, Rigrid felt that he was speechless and was not very good at establishing friendship with the other party. He could only join the others and anxiously Wait for the other party's reply.
Originally, before coming here, Rigrid felt that the Kingdom's willingness to use E-Rantel City as a thank-you gift in order to resist the attacks of the Empire and the Sorcerous Kingdom of Nazarick was a very generous reward, but the other party would not accept it anyway. Something that would be rejected! But now, after seeing the Angelicia Mountains and this empty floating city, she suddenly felt that the conditions that the Kingdom of Yestije was willing to pay did not seem too attractive in the eyes of the other party?
"Uh-huh……"
(๑վ‸վ๑)
She opened the letter impatiently and skimmed through the lines. After knowing what it meant, Anne closed the letter with a snap and held it in her hand.
"Well, actually, people don't seem to want your city very much..."
₍₍(̨̡‾ᗣ‾)̧̢₎₎
Annie was a little embarrassed, because she already had a beautiful city that could fly, so she didn't want to go to the troublesome city of E-Rantel that couldn't run on the ground, nor did she want the other party's city. A messy title.
"!!"
"Your Excellency Anne, don't you think about it?"
Rigrid was a little anxious. Although she had guessed yesterday that this mission would not go well, she was still a little unwilling to see it fail like this.
"Not consider!"
(′～`●)
"But……"
"Why? Is the condition not good enough? If so, you can bring it up. I believe that the King and Princess will seriously consider it."
Thinking that the other party felt that the conditions were not good enough, Rigrid asked tentatively again.
"No reason, it's just that I just came back from playing around, and now I'm a little lazy and don't want to do anything..."
٩(๑´0`๑)۶
After saying that, Annie stretched again.
"Your Mightiness!"
"The Angelicia Mountains are just north of the Great Tomb of Nazarick. If they defeat the kingdom, will they let you go?"
"It won't do you any harm to help the kingdom fight against the Great Tomb of Nazarick!!"
Seeing that things were beginning to develop in the worst direction, Rigrid glanced at the Frost Dragon stewards and maids next to the little girl, and then at the guardians standing on both sides of the hall. She gritted her teeth and refused to give up. After going back in such despair, she began to argue with her arguments, intending to slowly convince the other party with emotion, reason, and inducement.
"Eh?"
く(＾_・)ゝ
"But... I'm not afraid of those big skeletons in the Great Tomb of Nazarick. They're so weak..."
o(´^｀)o
Anne had a look of disgust on her face. In her opinion, the monsters in the big tomb were indeed very strong compared to other people in this world, but in her eyes, even the strongest ones were just demigods. It's just the same existence, and they can't even touch the reality of the world, let alone transcend the world... She has always regarded a group of guys like that as toys, so how could she be afraid?
"this!!"
"All right……"
"Maybe you are really not afraid, but your Excellency Archmage Anne, can you ensure that you will always exist in this world?"
After pondering for a while, Rigrid began to conduct another kind of test, because she knew that the other party was a human being, and human beings would definitely die sooner or later, just like the former Eight Desire Kings and the Six Great Gods in more ancient times. generally?
Therefore, if the other party did not think so long-term, she had to remind the other party.
"of course not!"
(｡•̀ꌂ-)✧
Annie is just here to play. She will definitely leave this world and continue wandering in other worlds. Of course, she will not stay here forever.
"Yeah……."
"Then shouldn't you think more about your subordinates? In the future, if you are gone, what will happen to your subordinates and everything you left behind?"
Rigrid was talking about what happened after the other person's death and the other person's descendants. However, since the other person was still a little girl, she didn't say anything that the other person would definitely not understand, and instead talked about everything the other person left behind.
"?!"
(°ー°〃)
Annie suddenly remembered something that a certain big-bone man had said, and then looked at the frost dragons around her. She knew that they would definitely not be able to defeat that big-bone man, at least not within a few decades! And the guardians who were subdued by him were a little too weak. Even with the protection of the floating city, they would probably be enough?
So, if she has enough fun and leaves, it seems that these guys will really be bullied by that skeleton and the other party's men?
"All right……"
(๑վ‸վ๑)
"It seems like it's not impossible to help you?"
(￢д￢.)
Anyway, it’s not a big deal to help, so just help!
Moreover, that skeletal frame is a bit outrageous. Instead of staying in the tomb to sleep or play with the undead demons, he comes out all day long to do mischief, and wants to kill people, set fire to seize territory, etc. It seems that he is not doing his job properly?
(…)
(●￣(ｴ)￣●)
(Tibbers felt that a certain bad little master of his family was not qualified to say that... After all, he knew that someone had made a big fuss in the Slian Theocracy and beat up other people's platinums. The Dragon King also taught a certain loli female dragon magic, which caused the orc tribe to bleed... It seems that what she did was no better than a certain skeleton? Anyway, the two of them were just laughing at the same time. , they are all almost the same product...)
Plop~!
'? ? '
'? ? ? '
"..."
o(*¯︶¯*)o
Under the incomprehensible gazes of several envoys, Anne suddenly waved her hand and threw a certain stuffed bear into the pool of flowing water in the main hall of the castle, and allowed the other party to risk "gurgling". The bubbles slowly sank to the bottom of the clear pool.
'...'
'...'
But the Frost Dragon maids and a certain old housekeeper who were standing aside were already used to it. They didn't pay attention to some of their little master's weird behaviors at all, and they still stood there with eyes and noses attentively. aside.
"alright!"
(ಠ~ಠ)
"I have promised to help you now. When you start fighting in two days, I will definitely go and have a look! So, you can go back now!"
ヾ(￣▽￣)Bye~Bye~
After saying that, Anne jumped down from her throne and prepared to have a meal in the castle's restaurant. As for the envoys, she wouldn't let them eat because she didn't ask anyone to prepare their portion at all!
"..."
Rigrid, who opened his mouth and wanted to say something, would be better off sighing without hesitating, and preparing to leave with the other envoys he was traveling with who didn't even talk to him.
"etc!"
"that……"
"Dear Master Anne, I wonder if I can ask you something?"
Suddenly, Ligrid, who remembered another important thing, quickly turned around and asked a little girl who was about to run to the back door.
"whats the matter?"
∑(´△｀)? !
"If it's something unimportant, then you don't have to ask!"
ヾ(^▽^*)))
Annie's subtext is very simple: she is very busy now, if nothing happens, get out of here, she will not be polite to strangers!
"..."
"That's right. I really want to see this floating city. What is it..."
In fact, Rigrid had asked the dwarves yesterday about this question, but their answers did not satisfy her... because they themselves did not know the specific origin of the floating city, they only knew that it was created by their master's master. As for where she got it back from, she had no idea, so now that she saw a rare opportunity, she took the opportunity to ask.
"oh!"
(*^▽^*)
"This floating city is called 'Eliontiyo'. It was originally in the great desert in the south, but now the guardians inside it have been persuaded by others (physics + magic), so it enthusiastically followed them back. Oh!"
(^_−)☆
Anne spoke openly about the origin of this floating city.
That's right, this floating city is the city of the 'Eight Desire Kings' who once ruled the world! However, they eventually broke out into a civil war due to the expansion of their respective desires. In that ancient civil war, they themselves destroyed their own country, and in the end only the floating city 'Eliontiu' remained!
It is located in the sky in the southern desert. Anne speculated that it should be the guild station that traveled through time with the 'Eight Desire Kings'. There are thirty urban guardians inside to protect the city... But now, those guardians have been Annie was convinced and became loyal to her and became the guardian of her family's floating city.
Not to mention, Annie really likes this floating city, because it is beautifully built with human, elves and some modern architectural styles, and the facilities are also complete, which can be used as her place in this world. A palace or something would be perfect!
Anyway, for a little girl like her who is indolent, greedy and fun, it would be great to have such a beautiful city to live in! Although there are only thirty guardians on it, which is indeed a bit less, but after the frost dragon family moved here, the popularity has finally improved a little bit. When the frost dragons multiply and grow in the future, there will probably be nothing to regret. .
However, overall there are still a little less people...
Maybe, she could let the frost dragons choose some dwarves or quagoa to live there? However, those guys can't fly, and it will be troublesome once they go up and down. After all, this floating city also consumes magic energy. It is impossible to open unlimited permanent portals just for the convenience of going up and down, and those dwarves are too ugly. It stinks all over... So does the Quagoa, and that kind of guy has a bad temper and likes to dig holes randomly. If he comes up, he will easily damage this beautiful place. So, as for what to do, let's keep it. We’ll talk about it later, she’s not in a hurry anyway!
'! ! '
'What? ! '
'Is this the floating city of Eleonteyu that contains various magic props left by the Eight Desire Kings? '
'Oh my God, is this really that place? '
'how come……'
'impossible? '
'Your Excellency Rigrid? ! '
'...'
However, Rigrid did not respond to the inquiries or exclamations of his companions, but only nodded in slight shock and understanding.
As one of the Thirteen Heroes, she knows that most of the magic props left by the 'Eight Desire Kings' are kept here, and are also regarded as props beyond the gods by the people in their world... ...Currently, in addition to the known guild weapon of the 'Eight Desire Kings' guarded by the Platinum Dragon King, the most powerful one is also the sword-shaped weapon borrowed by the Thirteen Heroes. The "Uninscribed Book" is said to be able to record all magic in the world. Even newly invented magic will be automatically recorded in it. It is because of the existence of this book that people in their world know the existence of the tenth level magic...
Therefore, Rigrid was already thinking that the reason why the little girl in front of him was so powerful in magic was that she could become a dragon mage powerful enough to easily defeat the Platinum Dragon King at a mere age of less than seven or eight years old. Is that related to the 'Uninscribed Spell Book'?
"..."
"Your Excellency Master Anne, since you have obtained this floating city, have those props also fallen into your hands?"
I have begun to feel a little worried, and once again have some doubts and speculations about the other party's true identity.
"probably?"
(^～^;)ゞ
"But that kind of prop is of no use. I haven't even looked at the treasure house..."
(∩▽∩)
Anne said indifferently.
"I won't tell you anymore! I'm going to eat, bye~!"
₍₍ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ₎₎♪
After saying that, Anne no longer cared about the reactions of those people, turned around, jumped towards the back door of the palace, and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
"!!"
"No, no use?"
Rigrid and several envoys didn't know what to say. If you give them one of those infinitely powerful props, or give one to the Kingdom of Li Yestije, I'm afraid they can all regard it as a heirloom. The treasure was offered as an offering, right? And the little girl just now, who was so blessed that she didn’t know how to be blessed, actually dared to say that they were useless? !
but……
Thinking about it carefully, someone who can defeat the guardian of such a floating city and move the entire city to the north of the Angelicia Mountains, with such terrifying methods, does have the confidence to not care about such props. .
However, when I think about the rumors, I think that the 'Eight Desire Kings' used the 'Twenty' among the world-class props, that is, the 'Five Elements Conflict' bug that can change some magic rules, which in turn led to the direct banning of the Ancient Dragon King clan. Rigrid couldn't help but feel a little worried about the terrifying props that caused the original magic to achieve a complete victory and pollute the world's magic.
Now that I think about it, judging from the rumors I heard before about the little girl who once visited the Dragon Kingdom and helped the Black Scale Queen improve the original magic, which led to the defeat of the orc tribe, I think the other party must also have used the world-class props. Are you 'twenty'?
Anyway, she, Ligrid, would definitely not believe that the other party had such powerful power and knowledge at such a young age. The reason why the other party was called a 'Dragon Mage' and a 'Brilliant Diamond' level adventurer was just that. It must be related to the fact that the other party has some kind of connection with the 'Eight Desire Kings'! Or, maybe it's because the other party is a player who traveled through time and obtained the relics of the 'Eight Desire Kings' in some way?
but……
No matter what, that's someone else's business. Now, in addition to returning to the Kingdom of Li Yestije to report to the third princess that she has fulfilled her mission and successfully invited the other party to help, she must also quickly return to the Council of Ministers, just like her. The Platinum Dragon King Chaindulux Baixion, one of the 'Thirteen Heroes', needs to explain the situation properly!
As for how to deal with the little girl in the future, she decided to see the situation later.
Because she could see that the other party was different from the 'Eight Desire Kings'. He was not the kind of guy who was obsessed with profit and liked power. As long as the other party did not harm the world, then of course she would not find trouble for herself and go there. To fight against the powerful existence of the other party...
Also, what is going on with the Great Tomb of Nazarick and Ainz Ooal Gown? !
Anyway, after so many years, Ligrid has already felt that Chaindu Lux is right. A new reincarnation may be about to begin again. Those outsiders have arrived. As for whether it is a blessing or a curse, she has not yet decided. You know, you can only take one step at a time.
'grown ups! '
'Lord Rigrid? ! '
'! ! '
'ah! ? '
'No! It's nothing, I just thought about something... Let's go, now that the mission is completed, let's go back to the capital to report! '
'yes! Yes! ! '
'...'
Rigrid, who was in a daze thinking about various things, was awakened by the calls of other envoys accompanying her for a while and came back to her senses... However, she didn't say anything more, After taking one last look at the direction in which the little girl just left and disappeared, she sighed and signaled to the frost dragon who had just brought them here to lead the way and send them down.
