It was already getting dark, and it was almost noon.
At this moment, in the castle of Duke Karsten's house in the capital of Lugnica, the pro-dragon kingdom, a large group of heavily armed people were gathering here.
Crusch Karsten, one of the five candidates for the throne of the Kingdom of Lugnika, has a heroic face and long green hair. Like the others, he is also fully armed and wears a gorgeous plate armor. The beauty, holding her long sword, was making the final mobilization against the knights and soldiers from various families in the castle hall who had been waiting for a long time.
Of course, they are not trying to rebel or launch a coup to attack the kingdom, but they are trying to do something more glorious and great!
Last night, a group of businessmen were attacked by the "Fluugel Tree", which was planted by the "Great Sage" Fluugel himself. It was several hundred meters high and stood beside the Lefaus Avenue leading to the capital. The legendary evil white whale attacked, and in the end, only two businessmen and two dragon carriages escaped in embarrassment and luckily.
As for how many people in that caravan were buried in the whale's maw, and how many people died without even leaving their names, it is currently unknown.
Because according to ancient books, anyone who is preyed upon by the evil white whale in the white mist will completely disappear from this world, and at the same time all memories of the other person will be wiped out, except for a very small number of powerful people. How can we avoid the influence of evil magic, like the great sage Flugel?
Therefore, after receiving the news last night, Curio Karsten, who is the head of Duke Carlsten's family and is quite prestigious in the kingdom, immediately prepared overnight, contacted all parties, and at the same time He hired all the dragon carriages that could be hired in the capital.
Finally, around noon, their expedition team was finally ready.
And now, they are preparing to take the oath here and then set off on a crusade, heading to the "Frugel Tree" next to Lefaus Avenue leading to the capital, to search and kill the evil white whale that appeared there last night.
What if it is still stuck there?
"Everyone!"
"Four hundred years..."
Looking at the heavily armed knights, warriors and swordsmen present, looking at their resolute faces, and thinking about what had happened to them, Crusch Karsten first took a deep breath. After taking a breath, he continued firmly:
"Four hundred years!"
"The white whale born by the Jealousy Witch has treated the whole world as its hunting ground. It has treated us humans as weak and its food and has been bullying us for four hundred years..."
"During this long period of time,"
"Countless people, as well as some of our relatives and friends, have been buried in its maw!"
"But sometimes, we can't even remember their names, and we don't even know that there is such a group of people. Only after being told regretfully and sadly by the sages can we know that there is such a thing..."
"So, we once had a relative or friend like that?"
"think about it!"
"What a terrible thing that is!"
"That white whale, it not only deprived our relatives and friends of their lives, it even deprived them of their existence, and deprived us of our most basic right to grieve and cry!"
"It has been rampant for four hundred years. During this period, we have no idea how many people, how many relatives and friends were buried in its maw. What we know is that only those who have been recorded and A small part told by the sages!”
"As for the other people, the more poor people who were preyed upon by beluga whales, we don't even know if they ever existed in this world..."
"They want to be remembered, even if they want to have a name engraved on their tombstone, what a humble wish is that?"
"And today!"
"That evil white mist, that sinful white whale..."
"There will be an end!"
"Because, when we all gather together, we will definitely end it all with our hands. We will knock it down with our own hands, and then tell it..."
"We will never be fooled and bullied by it!"
"today!"
"We will definitely end these hundreds of years of sorrow, put an end to its fooling us, and let the countless dead souls who can't even leave their names find complete peace!"
"from now on!"
"Never again will something like that happen, where even death cannot be remembered, and even the humble sense of existence can be obliterated!"
"so……"
"Come out into battle, warriors!"
"Target: The 'Flugel Tree' beside Lefaus Avenue!"
"We will fight to the death with that white whale!!!"
At the end, after seeing everyone's emotions being aroused by her and reaching the highest point, Crusch Karsten suddenly pulled out the sword in her hand and raised it high.
“Down with the white whale!”
"Drink~!"
"oh!!"
"Must win!!"
"Must win!!!"
"Set off!!"
"Hi~!!!"
In the castle, countless soldiers, knights, mercenaries or other warriors who came here spontaneously raised their weapons and shouted loudly.
Soon, as the short mobilization ended, as the fully armed 'warriors' rushed out of the Duke of Carlsten's castle, the dragon carriages that had been lined up neatly in the castle courtyard were waiting for the carriage driver. Under their driving, loaded with countless well-prepared equipment, supplies and fully armed soldiers, following the knights on the backs of dragons, they filed out from the noble district of the capital of the Kingdom of Lugnica, directly to A huge motorcade galloped along Lefaus Avenue toward the outside of the city.
…
At noon, the territory was attacked and besieged by the evil Witch Cult members, those terrifying faceless men (sons of N'Zoth), and the huge monster that burned and howled in the sky last night. Problems such as Ram and After Rem returned to the village and explained and comforted him for a whole morning, the matter was finally resolved perfectly.
The villagers in the territory finally felt relieved and began to carry out their daily production activities in an orderly manner.
At the same time, after considering that their two sisters may often be assigned tasks by their master Anne, there may often be situations where there are no maids on duty in the mansion, so they simply go to Alam directly. The village is looking for a backup candidate for a maid.
In the end, they recruited a young girl of appropriate age.
They plan to train each other as the new maids in the mansion, so that while sharing their work, they can stay in the mansion to serve their master or Lady Emilia when the two sisters have tasks, so as not to become like Just like yesterday, there was no one to prepare a decent dinner, midnight snack or boil water for bathing.
The name of the little girl who was recruited was Petra Wright. She was just twelve years old this year. She grew up in Alam Village and was a young girl with good roots.
The other party has a very cute face, a smart mind, is deft enough in doing things, and seems to have good comprehension skills. Therefore, after discussing for a while, the two sisters Ram and Rem made the decision and decided on the spot. The other party took him back to the mansion.
"Sister, is it really appropriate for us to bring Petra back?"
"Senior Frederica, you know, I heard that she temporarily resigned from her position due to some things a few months ago. However, we are not sure whether she still wants to come back here, and now she has suddenly recruited a maid. Isn’t this a little bad?”
Looking at the little girl Petra Wright who was in the dressing room exclusively for the servants of the mansion, licking her body, cheering and changing into new maid outfits one by one, Rem suddenly felt a little regretful. He couldn't help but lean into his sister's ear and ask softly.
The senior she was talking about was of course Frederica Bowerman. She was the former maid of Roswaal Mansion and the senior of the two sisters Ram and Rem. She taught them step by step to become qualified maids. Beautiful big sister.
Rem knew that the other party had served in the Roswaal Mansion for nearly ten years and was one of the elders. However, in recent years, he was transferred to serve in the Milod family of the Merzas branch. Soon after, he heard that the other party resigned. That position must be because you don't want to continue serving in the Melod family where Mezas split up, right?
Therefore, Rem felt that now that the territory and mansion had a new owner, and there was a shortage of maids, they directly found someone new without notifying the senior to inquire. This approach always made her feel a little agitated. Feeling of shame.
"this……"
"But we can't drive Petra away anymore, can we?"
Looking at the little girl Petra Wright who was changing one item after another in the closet and excitedly choosing a new maid outfit, Ram hesitated when he looked at her thin, thin and ungrown body. After a while, he finally shook his head firmly.
"Anyway!"
"We recruited Petra, and the master has no objection. So as long as she doesn't make a big mistake, she will definitely stay."
"As for Frederica-senpai..."
"We can write her a letter explaining the situation. If she is willing to come, I think the master will not mind accepting another skilled maid!"
"Especially Rem!"
"You still remember, right? Your cooking skills were also taught by my senior. If I knew that her cooking skills were better than yours, I think the master would definitely welcome my senior to come to the mansion and continue to be a maid."
He stretched out his finger and tapped his lips. The more Ram thought about it, the more reliable it became.
Moreover, in her opinion, this mansion is so big, if there can be four maids, then the work of the two sisters will definitely become easier, and they will have more time and opportunities to be lazy, and then They also get more personal time, and there's nothing better than that.
"!!"
"Then it's decided..."
"Anyway!"
"Sister, it's up to you to write the letter. It doesn't matter if the senior doesn't come back. I think she might be more loyal to His Excellency Roswaal L. Mezas?"
As he said that, he looked at the little girl Petra Wright in front of the closet who had once again taken off all her clothes and put on another outfit. She looked at the other person's thin white buttocks that were lifted up and wearing a skirt. Rem curled her lips in disdain, and then walked straight out of the locker room, planning to leave the matters here to her sister.
"Rem..."
As a sister, and a twin sister at that, Ram, who has a telepathic mind, certainly knows what his sister is thinking, and also knows that her sister is worried about senior Frederica Bowerman, who is better at cooking, if she is willing to come back. It will cause her to fall out of favor in front of her master, but...
Looking at Petra in front of him who was looking at herself in front of the mirror, Ram still felt that he should write a letter to his senior. In that case, the little girl who was out-of-touch and seemed to have too much energy would Is it possible for the girl Petra to get the best education and become a qualified maid?
"Sister Ram!"
"Look, am I okay with this?"
"so!"
"Am I a real maid now?"
Finally, after about half an hour, Petra, who had been choosing for a long time, chose a suit of clothes that fit her. She walked to Ram and walked around proudly, waiting nervously for Ram's comment.
"ah!"
"this……"
Looking at the other party's maid outfit with the same black apron as Rem and herself, and then seeing that the other party did not have the same white hat as her two sisters, but instead had a big red bow on her head, Ram Not just a little surprised.
"Okay?"
"alright."
"Petra, follow me to meet the owner later. You should have known it already. Our territory and mansion have been changed. Now the owner here is no longer Roswaal L. Meza. Your Excellency, but the great arcane archmage Master Anne Hastur, you must keep this in mind!"
"You must pay attention to etiquette later. Only if Master Anne does not object to you becoming the maid of the mansion, can you truly continue to stay here!"
"do you understand?"
Ram warned carefully with a straight face.
As for the other party's dress, she was noncommittal.
After all, the other party's black-based apron maid outfit fit perfectly. Anyway, Ram couldn't find any major faults with the other party. As for the other party's big red conspicuous bow... Ram felt that it seemed Does it match the other person's age and height?
Therefore, she didn't say much, and she didn't force the other party to wear white hats like the two sisters.
"Um!"
"Sister Ram, don't worry, I will definitely pay attention!!"
Petra clenched her fists and nodded vigorously, indicating that she would definitely win the favor of Master Anne, and she would definitely make him happy to leave her here.
You know, she has a secret weapon!
Yesterday, she went to the woods to pick wild fruits with her friends, and she was given a small basket. However, she was not willing to eat it and had no chance to eat it last night. But she happened to bring it to the mansion today, so she believed that , when she offers that delicious sweet and sour fruit, Master Anne will definitely treat her differently.
This was a trick that the village chief grandma secretly gave her. She said that the new lord liked all kinds of delicious food, and it was just right for her, Petra, to offer seasonal fruits at this time, as long as she went to vote for him. So, it must be very effective?
"Then come with me!"
"Master is about to get up at this time. You can go to the restaurant first to see if I can help your sister Rem. I'll go to Master's bedroom first."
Looking at the sunlight slanting in through the window, and guessing that it was almost time, Ram gave Petra the last word, then turned around and left the locker room first.
As for the small basket that Petra found somewhere and held in her arms, Ram didn't pay much attention to it.
…
While the two twin maids, Ram and Rem, in the Hastur mansion were busy with various household chores and teaching the newly recruited maids, hundreds of people led by Crusch Karsten, the head of Duke Karsten's family, A whaling team consisting of a warrior, a team of magicians, and a dozen magic cannons finally arrived at the foot of the Flugel tree beside Lefaus Avenue and stationed themselves there.
Immediately afterwards, they began to send groups of dragon knights to investigate the surrounding areas, intending to find the evil white whale that appeared here last night and attacked the caravan.
"Wilhelm!"
"Don't worry. Based on past experience, beluga whales will stay nearby for two to three days wherever they attack. And it just appeared here last night. It must not have gone far now. We will definitely There will be a chance."
At this time, I saw Wilhelm Van Astrea on the side. He was the deacon of the Karlsten family and his swordsmanship instructor. He was nicknamed the "Sword Demon" and was also the swordsman of the previous generation. The old man who was the husband of Saint Theresia Van Astrea had an anxious look on his face. He was wearing armor and fully armed, and his long green hair was tied into a ponytail with a rope. He looked extremely elegant and sassy. Ersu Karlsten walked over without hesitation and comforted her calmly.
"Well!"
"hope so……"
Looking up at the sky, Wilhelm Van Astrea, who was nicknamed the 'Sword Demon', breathed a sigh of relief and could only give the master he served a depressed smile.
Different from the optimism of Master Curius, now he is very worried that this trip will be in vain.
Because he saw that the sky here was very clear. When he looked up, the sun was shining brightly and there were no clouds in the sky. If the beluga whale was still wandering nearby, then there should be white mist filling the air, right?
He is already very old. Although his body is still strong, his age is an indisputable fact. You must know that his grandson is already twenty years old. If he still can't find the bird even though he is so close this time, If he could find the traces of the white whale and catch him, in a few years, he might not really have any chance to hunt down the white whale and avenge his wife.
So, how could he not be worried and anxious?
"you……"
"ah!"
"The Earth Dragon Knight who went out for reconnaissance is back?"
"Have you discovered anything?"
At this time, Crusch Karsten was about to say something when he suddenly saw, in the distance, three Earth Dragon Knights rushing towards them at full speed. Looking at their appearance, it seemed that they had discovered something?
"Report~!"
"Your Excellency Kurxiu!"
"We discovered a situation ahead at the outskirts of the dense forest of the former Roswaal Territory. Go and have a look!"
"like……"
"That's Beluga?!"
The visitors didn't know how to describe it, but they just reported loudly to their Duke Carlsten with a strange expression.
"..."
"..."
He looked at his butler Wilhelm in astonishment, and then, knowing that things might have changed, Karlsten didn't hesitate and directly climbed onto the back of the earth dragon, and then followed the reconnaissance knights who returned to report. , took the lead in leading more than a hundred earth dragon knights towards the location where the opponent found the white whale.
More than an hour later...
Crusch Karsten led her people to the outskirts of the borderland forest, and finally saw the huge 'whale' skeleton that had fallen to the ground and was somewhat broken, but the main body was still relatively complete.
"This is……"
From the embers of the surrounding burned trees and the black smoke marks on the huge skeleton, it is not difficult to judge that it seems that the huge monster in front of us, this suspected beluga skeleton, should have been burned not long ago ?
"This skeleton..."
"That's right, it must be the white whale!"
"But!"
"What is going on with this temperature and everything around here? How could the beluga be hunted down?"
"Who did it?!"
Looking at the remains of the huge beluga whale that had been burned into a charred skeleton, and reaching out to touch the huge ribs that were still a little hot and larger in width and size than her own body, Crusch Karsten and her The subordinate 'Sword Demon' Wilhelm Van Astrea and others could not help but be stunned and looked at each other.
They received the news of the beluga whale's appearance last night, and then they began to organize manpower and arrange dragon carts and various equipment overnight. Then they set off before noon and galloped all the way. In the afternoon, they arrived at the Fluugel Tree. The speed was as fast as The efficiency is not unpleasant!
But in the end, this white whale, which had been so majestic for more than four hundred years, was quietly hunted down and burned to death here?
"This should be the territory of Border Count Roswaal L. Merzas, but now it should belong to the little girl."
"I heard Felix say that during the throne meeting, that little girl seemed to have threatened to burn everyone who dared to persecute the half-elf Emilia to participate in the king's election?"
"right?"
After looking around and considering the lords of this territory, Wilhelm Van Astrea quickly thought of a person, and then looked towards the master he served, Curxiu.
"!!"
"Wilhelm, you mean..."
"Is it the little girl who attacked this white whale?!"
Crusch Karsten exclaimed in surprise at first, but soon the expression on her face changed from surprise to one of understanding.
If someone said that this white whale was killed by Roswaal L. Merzas, the border clerk who is known as the most powerful magician in the kingdom, then she would definitely not believe it!
but……
If it was the one who caused a scene in the palace and defeated all the knights, even Reinhard Van Astrea, who was known as the strongest swordsman in history and had the reputation of being the strongest on earth, could do it. If she could defeat a little girl with just one finger and walk away in the end, making the nobles and sages of the kingdom dare to be angry and dare not speak out, then she had to have reason to believe it.
"should be……"
"well……"
"It's a pity that in the end I still didn't get to know this evil white whale with my own hands..."
Nodding, Sword Demon Wilhelm agreed with his family master's judgment, and at the same time, he also lowered his head a little lonely.
"……."
"Somebody come!"
"Go and ask the team behind to hurry up and let them use dragon carts to transport the complete skeleton of the white whale back to the capital for public display!"
"Let them tell people that the White Whale was conquered by the lord here. From now on, the 'White Whale of the Mist' will no longer exist."
"besides!"
"Wilhelm, you go and prepare some gifts now. Since we are all here, let's just take some people to pay a visit to the new lord!"
Her expression changed for a while, but finally, Crusch Karsten sighed, then gritted her teeth and issued her new order.
"yes!"
"I'll make arrangements now!"
After nodding and bowing respectfully, the old sword ghost Wilhelm didn't say anything more, just lowered his head silently, turned around and left the scene of the white whale crashing sadly.
