After leaving the Great Temple of Light, Annie followed a sparsely populated path south and wandered around south of Esdru.
Maybe it's because the barbarians, warcraft or monsters think she's not easy to mess with, maybe it's because this is still the patrol area of the Holy Pegasus Guards of the Esdru Temple of Light, or maybe it's so deserted that Those guys don't want to come to this kind of place at all?
Anyway, along the way, Annie has never been stopped or robbed by people or non-persons, and she has never found out what those idiots Alvin and Hain said in the past, that they are always going to be kidnapped. A situation in which monsters or undead block the road and lead to a difficult battle.
"Um……"
(*¯ㅿ¯*;)
"Tibbers, this place becomes more and more desolate as we go south. There isn't even a village..."
ε=(´ο`*)))Alas
Looking at the filled-in blue moon and red moon, Annie, who was sitting on the shoulders of her little bear, couldn't help but sigh.
When she came out of the Temple of Light, which was not fun at all, she thought there were many villages or towns in the south, but it turned out...
"never mind!"
o(´^`)o
"Let's go east. I heard that after passing a huge double bridge, there will be a beautiful green barrier?"
(*^▽^*)
Anne learned that news from the mouths of believers who went to worship at Esdlu's Great Temple of Light. She knew that there was something called the 'Emerald Gate', which was said to be a masterpiece of the Goddess of Light. Is it because of it that we can prevent the demons on the Red Moon from teleporting to this world to cause chaos?
So, Annie guessed, it was probably a device that interfered with transmission?
Because, when she opened the portal to the world of Azeroth on the floating island, she also encountered some kind of interference. Unfortunately, the guy who built the interference device was a fool and was easily defeated by her. Cracked.
(…)
(● ̄㉨ ̄●)
(Tibbers didn’t waste any time. He turned around and continued walking along the desolate path in the east direction. Anyway, it didn’t matter where he went. So, since his troublesome little master wanted to go east, Then it goes directly east.)
Sudden!
Just as Annie asked her little bear to change direction, suddenly, something like a blue portal appeared in front of them.
"Alas?"
!(;゚o゚)o
"that is……"
|˛˙꒳˙)?
At first, Anne, who thought someone was teleporting to find her, couldn't help but lie down on Tibbers' big furry head and sit up straight to take a look.
"wrong!"
(т‾▵‾)
"Tibbers, how could someone mess with such a dangerous time rift?"
く(^_・)ゝ
Then, after seeing the blue portal-like thing clearly, Annie couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, and scratched her head and looked around.
"no one there?"
(゜-゜)
"How is this going?"
(・_・)ヾ
Unfortunately, there was no one around. Anyway, in this poor place in the wilderness, she couldn't detect anyone's presence.
(…)
(● ̄㉨ ̄●)
(Tibbers doesn’t want to answer, because, no matter whether he is a person or not, everyone knows that Uncle Tibbers Bear has nine out of ten orifices when it comes to magic, and the remaining one cannot be accessed, so , it’s better not to embarrass it with magic or arcane matters. Of course, don’t ask questions about arcana, just say you don’t know!)
"Hmm..."
「(°ヘ°)
stare!
"Forget it! Leave it alone!"
(ˉ▽ ̄~)Cut~~
After staring at it for a long time, she found that there was no reaction at all. The portal-like crack was still just spinning around. Finally, Annie became a little impatient, so she reached out and patted the little bear on the head, intending to go around. Go over there and get out of here.
After all, Queen Anne is no longer as curious as she was when she was still doing whatever she wanted in the land of voodoo. Like back then, whenever a teleporter came up and something happened, they wanted her to dig into it. It will definitely not happen again.
However……
Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Uh-huh!
Before Tibbers could make a move and get around, suddenly, several guys popped out of the space-time rift, and one of them was someone Anne knew.
"Alas!"
!!!∑(゚Д゚ノ)ノ
"Aunt Jessica, what are you doing here?"
=͟͟͞͞(꒪⌓꒪*)
Anne subconsciously exclaimed.
Because, from the moment she prepared to fulfill Sonia's wish, she had thought that there would definitely be some acquaintances who would come to trouble her, such as idiot Hein, Miss Shirley, or... Alvin Liana or something.
It was fine now. It was as expected. However, Alvin and Liana did not come. Instead, the legendary magician in front of her came to the door first.
"wrong!"
ヽ(˚ω˚=)
"You don't seem to be the old witch archmage, you are..."
(ー`´ー)
But soon, Anne realized something was wrong.
If she looked carefully, it would not be difficult for her to find that the guy who jumped out of the time rift seemed a little too old compared to the 'Jessica' she knew?
She knew about Aunt Jessica. She had just used the reincarnation technique not long ago. She didn't look much older than Liana and the others, and her magic power was average. But now, not only was she an old woman, but her magic power was also ordinary. Extremely full, directly in that peak state?
"ah!"
⊙﹏⊙‖∣°
"Who went crazy and summoned you from the past timeline?"
ヾ(´・・`。)ノ
Soon, the omnipotent Anne recognized the approximate origins of the people in front of her and told them.
"But……"
(。•ˇ‸ˇ•。)
"That's not right. It seems that none of you are real living people..."
(°ー°〃)
Then, not long after, Anne denied her own point of view just now, because the guys in front of her seemed to be in something wrong?
"People know!"
♪٩(´ᵕ`๑)۶⁾⁾
"You must be the kind of guys who are like heroic spirits, right?"
↜(ψ`▽′)o
Finally, Annie exclaimed again and revealed the true origins of those guys.
(…)
(● ̄㉨ ̄●)
(Tibbers doesn’t care what the origins of those guys are. In its view, it doesn’t matter what the origins of those guys are. However, as long as the other party is looking for trouble, there will definitely be no good results in the end.)
"!!"
"snort!"
"It seems that you are the one we are looking for."
The few people who came out of the time rift looked at each other in surprise at first, and then they nodded in understanding.
"I am Redding, the prince of the ancient Kingdom of Bardia, summoned by the goddess!"
"Evil foreign invader, the goddess has explained something to me and others. Now, if you are willing to promise to withdraw from our world immediately, maybe some of us will not take action against you?"
"what do you think?"
After confirming that Anne was the target of their mission this time, the red-haired guy said this, as if they had completely determined Anne.
"Redding?"
(๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
"do not know……"
(๑¯ω¯๑)
"Then who are the two young ladies next to you?"
ヾ(⌒∇⌒*)~♪
Anne didn't pay attention to the red-haired guy. She just took a look at the strange hair accessory on his head, and then turned to look directly at the other two people.
"..."
"..."
Then, the two young ladies next to the red-haired guy looked at each other and took a step forward.
"Namu!"
"The Royal Family of Bardia!"
"Chrissy!"
"A nun of the goddess Lucillis!"
The two young ladies didn't mean to refuse to answer, and directly stated their respective names and identities in a crisp voice.
"I……"
At this time, the Archmage Jessica seemed to want to say something. However, before the other party could speak, she was interrupted by Anne's arrogant gesture.
"You don't have to say anything!"
↜(ψ`▽′)o
"You must be the projection summoned by some goddess from the strongest state in the past through the space-time rift just now, and you yourself are controlling it somewhere. Isn't that right?"
(。•̀ꌂ-)✧
As long as Annie thought about it, these guys would have no secrets from her, so she directly told the reasons why Aunt Jessica looked so old and why her magic power was so powerful.
"Really!"
s(・`ヘ´・;)ゞ
"Didn't someone just say a few words about her statue? Does she deserve to be so petty like a child?"
(。◕ˇεˇ◕。)
Then, of course, Anne angrily scolded the goddess of light.
Because, she subconsciously felt that it must be because she said bad things about the other party in the big temple before the day, so these guys were summoned to cause trouble for her?
"What idol?"
"Our coming here has nothing to do with the idol you mentioned!"
The red-haired Redding looked innocent, not knowing what Annie meant.
"..."
"You actually know that I control this projection through my will. It seems that the goddess is right. You are indeed very difficult to deal with!"
That Jessica was silent for a while, then nodded. Then, she suddenly clenched the staff in her hand, and at the same time let the magic power resonate throughout her body and the staff.
"wrong!"
(。◝‿◜。)
"That goddess of yours, what she said is wrong!"
o(*¯︶¯*)o
Anne ignored the other party's movements of preparing to cast spells. She just refuted the other party with some disdain and continued:
"They are not difficult to deal with!"
(„ಡωಡ„)
"But, you can't deal with them at all!!"
(*๓´ꌂ`๓)
Anne made a big face at the four people in front and said that she didn't take them to heart at all.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Hearing this, the four of them couldn't help but be a little surprised and dumbfounded, and exchanged speechless looks with each other.
"Redding!"
"Even with the power of the goddess, the time for maintaining the heroic spirit and projection is limited."
"We need to hurry!"
At this time, the 'Jessica' was a little impatient and urged the red-haired Redding directly.
Clang!
"It's no use talking more!"
"evil!"
"Since you are still stubborn, we will destroy you on behalf of the goddess!!"
After hearing Jessica's urging, and having confirmed the target and how difficult it was to deal with it, the guy who called himself Redding stopped talking and pulled out the gun from his waist with a straight face. A long sword with a strange shape.
"Eh?"
∑(´△`)? !
"Why does your sword look familiar?"
(꒪⌓꒪)
Anne didn't mind if the other party was about to take action. Instead, she looked at the sword several times with some curiosity, and always felt that she had seen it somewhere before.
"ah!"
!(;゚o゚)o
"When you think about it, it seems to be very similar to the holy sword that I gave to Matthew?"
(ˆ⌣ˆc)
After thinking about it for a moment, Annie exclaimed, and finally remembered why the opponent's sword made her feel a little familiar.
"ah!"
!? (•''•۶)۶
"Why does it glow?"
(°ー°〃)
"Does projection have the same ability as that holy sword?"
(๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
Anne was a little curious.
After all, she rarely summons heroic spirits to fight. Under normal circumstances, she summons living people, or simply summons her own little bear Tibbers directly, which is much more useful and convenient than heroic spirits.
(…)
(● ̄㉨ ̄●)
"I see!"
"That holy sword turned out to be snatched away by you!"
At this time, Jessica finally figured something out, and stared at Anne deeply in surprise and surprise.
"You're talking nonsense!"
ε=(◕ˇεˇ◕。))) Bah! !
"It was stuck in that broken stone mound by itself, and it's almost rusting. If someone picked it up by themselves, they wouldn't have robbed it!"
٩(๑`^´๑)۶
The holy sword has been stuck in the ruins for hundreds of years. It has no owner for a long time. And since she arrived and discovered it first, it belongs to her. How can it be said to be a robbery?
Anyway, Anne would definitely not agree with the other party's wrong point of view.
"quick!"
"I imprisoned her!"
At this time, without waiting for Annie to react, the projection of the great magician Jessica used magic to restrain Annie's spells and movements, and caused a red magic circle to appear at Annie's feet, trapping her tightly. .
"Redding!"
"Use Alhasato! You only have one chance to attack!!"
Then, Jessica excitedly and nervously urged Redding, who had already unsheathed the magic sword.
"Redding!"
"I protect you!"
"And me too!"
"quick!"
At this time, the two young ladies, Namu and Chris, were guarding Redding with bows and arrows and holy staffs respectively, and nervously stared at Annie's every move not far away.
They did not attack rashly. It is possible that they had already discussed a certain strategy before coming, and probably knew that their attack would not have much effect on a being like Anne? Of course, it's also possible that he didn't want to destroy the binding magic circle of the great magician Jessica.
"good!"
"Then it's up to you!"
As he spoke, Redding did not hesitate. He held and raised the sword in his hand with both hands, and at the same time closed his eyes and prayed silently.
"Huh?"
(ง˙o˙)ว
Anne originally wanted to break the boring magic circle that restricted her movement and magic, but after seeing the behavior of the red-haired boy Redding, she thought about it and decided to wait and see. What exactly is the other party planning to do?
"..."
At this time, Redding was still concentrating with his eyes closed.
"..."
"..."
Namu and Chris were still guarding him nervously, fearing that some bad little girl would suddenly burst out and throw one or two terrifying magic spells at him.
"..."
At this time, Jessica continued to grit her teeth to monitor and maintain the magic circle that imprisoned Anne, which she thought was enough to imprison the demon god for a short period of time.
Because, when she sealed Kaos, the God of Chaos, she had used this magic circle that could only be used in her heyday, and now, she was somewhat confident in using it to trap the little girl.
"??"
く(^_・)ゝ
"Aruhasato?"
(゜-゜)
"Isn't it a holy sword?"
(´・_・`)
At this moment, Anne was just thinking about the connection between the projection of the sword in Redding's hand and the holy sword she gave to Matthew, and waiting to see what would happen next. I thought about resisting or fighting back or something.
"..."
"!!"
"alright!"
"I've got her on target!"
After several minutes, when Annie was getting a little impatient, the red-haired Reading boy finally shouted.
"It's now!"
"Let's withdraw!"
The next moment, a beam of teleportation light flashed, and then Jessica used the teleportation magic she had prepared for a long time, and caused the four people to teleport together and disappear in front of Anne in an instant.
"??"
(´`;)?
"what does it mean?"
(,,•₃•,,)
Scratching her face, Annie of course had a puzzled look on her face. She easily walked out of the opponent's restraint circle as soon as she raised her legs. She didn't know what the opponent meant by locking.
(Report! Dear little master, maybe the lock they are talking about is in the sky?)
(● ̄㉨ ̄●)
(At this time, Tibbs, who had discovered something, kindly reminded him, raised his head and stretched out his bear paw to point in a certain direction in the sky.)
"!?"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
"Heaven?"
(๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
Annie also looked up to the sky.
"ah!"
=͟͟͞͞(꒪⌓꒪*)
To be precise, he looked at the blue moon and blinked curiously, and then
Boom, boom! ! !
The next moment, with Annie's exclamation, a thick white light roared, and its terrifying power cut through the atmosphere and stimulated layers of ionized energy, and suddenly hit her head-on from the blue moon with precision. Then, she was completely submerged in it in an instant.
…
At the same time, on the floating island, not long after being bombarded by the white light, a goblin engineer and a dwarf engineer ran into Queen Azshara's palace with sweat on their faces and some embarrassment.
"Something bad is going to happen!"
"Queen Azshara!"
"problem occurs!"
"Someone activated the magic device on the artificial star Blue Moon and used orbital bombardment to bombard the surface of the planet!"
As soon as he came in, the goblin engineer shouted loudly to Queen Azshara, who was leaning on the crescent bed and eating the peeled grapes passed by the maid.
"oh?"
"Is that ancient weapon that looks like a Titan creation activated?"
"The target shouldn't be our floating island, right?"
"Then let it be!"
After frowning and discovering that there was no energy fluctuation on the island, Azshara waved her hand indifferently.
"no!"
“But, it seems its target is Queen Anne!!”
At this time, the dwarf engineer on the side screamed and added.
"What?!"
So, in a rare moment, Azshara, who was eating fruit under the service of the maids, frowned, waved the maids to step aside, and then slowly sat up straight.
"That……"
"What is the intensity of the energy detected?"
Azshara sat up and hesitated for a while before asking.
"this……"
"It should be similar to the kind of mana bomb we condensed with the Blue Dragon Artifact Focusing Iris, right?"
The goblin engineer first looked at the dwarf next to him, and then said with some uncertainty.
"Definitely is!"
"The detected intensity and damage range, I think they should be the same!"
The dwarf engineer quickly added.
Anyway, in this dwarf engineer's view, orbital bombing that can penetrate a soul and easily destroy a city won't be a big problem.
"Is that so?"
"interesting!"
To the surprise of the goblins and dwarves, Azshara not only wasn't worried after hearing this, but actually laughed.
"interesting?"
"Queen!?"
"But!"
"Queen Anne has been hit!"
The two engineers looked at each other and said urgently.
"Ah!"
"Don't worry, with that level of power, even I can't do anything, let alone our little queen."
"She's probably joking, right?"
Shaking her head, Azshara guessed like this.
"correct!"
"Here on the floating island..."
"Can it withstand that level of bombing?"
Then, Azshara suddenly asked.
Compared to a little girl who was hit head-on by an orbital bombardment, she was more worried about this floating island whose target was larger and more fragile.
It wouldn't be fun if those guys who were dissatisfied with their arrival also attacked here.
"Of course we can defend it!"
"We have the new Sunwell as an energy source to provide shield. As long as the new Sunwell is still there, with a steady supply of energy, that kind of orbital weapon will never be able to break through the defense of our floating island!"
"and!"
"We have three layers of shields!"
"Third floor!!!"
The dwarf pointed to the small sun on top of the palace outside and said proudly.
It was another Sunwell built with the water from the Well of Eternity. Not only did Illidan have a lot of the water from the Well of Eternity, but Queen Azshara in front of her who once soaked in the Well of Eternity, that There are as many as you want.
"That's right!"
"Goblin technology is mind-blowing!"
Seeing the dwarf showing off, the goblin also added proudly.
"You're talking nonsense!"
"What goblin technology? That shield technology belongs to us dwarves!"
The dwarf turned his head and refuted the goblin's statement.
"No!"
"We goblins also participated in the construction of the shield and provided valuable guidance!"
"do not you remember?"
"The energy stabilizing device of the shield is the masterpiece of our goblin engineers!"
"!!"
"But it's not stable at all. It was improved by our dwarf engineering department!"
"No!"
"It is the technology of our goblins! It is the patent of our goblins!"
"Absolutely not!!"
"that is!!"
Soon, the two engineers, the dwarf and the goblin, had a big argument in front of Azshara over the patent ownership of a certain key shield technology.
"snort!"
However, Azshara does not tolerate them.
She snorted coldly at first, then raised her hand, and easily threw the two great engineers outside the palace with a teleportation magic.
"Queen!"
"Queen Anne, is she really okay?"
After the visitors were expelled, Vashj came over and asked softly.
"If something happens, it will be fun!"
"I guess……"
"When the time comes, someone here will definitely be in bad luck!"
Azshara smiled.
Unfortunately, she knew that the little girl would definitely be fine, so her assumption would not hold true.
"ah?"
Vashj was puzzled.
"Ah!"
"I can't tell you."
"alright."
"You guys go out, I want to take a rest."
After waving her hand to signal Vashj and others to leave first, Azshara lazily lay down on her exquisite gemstone crescent bed in the style of a high elf.
"..."
"..."
Vasqi and the other maids did not dare to say anything. They just bowed and bowed before slowly turning around and exiting the palace.
What they didn't know was that at this time, on the ground, dozens of miles south of the Esdru Grand Temple, an orange-red mushroom cloud was bombarded by a thick white light and then rose, and instantly It destroyed the forest for more than ten miles and burned the originally green surface into sand.
At the same time, the radiation of magic began to affect this place for a long time...
