"Scott!"
"Where's the princess?"
"I've been looking for her for a long time, but I didn't find her in the post house. Where did she go?"
Outside Silvermoon City on the Floating Island, this is one of the few places where 'visitors' can come and go at will. Keith, the commander of Karthus's flying corps, found the one immediately after he flew to the floating island. Scott, the adopted son of the lord, asked anxiously.
After all, Keith knew Shirley's temperament. During his absence, he had been worried that she would misbehave on the floating island and cause some big trouble. The consequences of that would be very, very unpredictable. In addition, Scott was too young, and it was impossible for him to believe that the adopted son of the lord could restrain their Highness the Princess of Karsus.
"she?"
"Here!"
"Isn't that the one over there?"
Scott pursed his lips, indicating where Shirley was, and said that he had been following her, so there was no need to make such a fuss.
"Huh? That's..."
"!!"
"What was she talking to that little girl about?"
Looking into the distance and seeing the back of the little girl who was sitting in rows with Shirley, dangling her feet as if looking at the ground scenery under the "cliff" of the floating city, Keith couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart. , then frowned momentarily and asked.
Now, his attitude and impression of the little girl was deep and a bit complicated.
Speaking of which, the other party had saved the lives of many people in Karsus. Logically speaking, he should be grateful. However, the other party happened to belong to those arrogant 'robbers' who invaded this world. Big boss, so he doesn't know whether he should hate or be grateful, and he doesn't know what attitude he should use to face the other party.
"What to talk about?"
"Then I don't know. I can't hear it from this far away."
Because he was not familiar with the little girl in the distance, Scott did not follow her from the moment he arrived here.
"How about you go over and ask yourself?"
"I can't pass."
Qiang smiled to himself, and Scott stretched out his hand and suggested.
Although he had seen each other many times in the castle when he was in Karsus, they were just acquaintances at best. He had never cared about the little girl before, and he had never cared about her. He didn't deliberately make friends, so now he would definitely not dare to easily come forward and disturb him at this time, especially after knowing that the other party is the owner of this floating island and the actual member of the Azeroth Empire. Emperor' after?
"..."
Keith didn't say a word, and didn't really say anything. He just stood there and frowned, thinking.
"how?"
"What's matter?"
"Did your father send you something?"
Seeing that Keith remained silent and had no intention of looking for him or leaving first, Scott, who was a little confused, finally asked.
"Lord?"
"No!"
"Lord Laurent has no intention of sending a message. He still refuses to come here to participate in that conference. You know, he is still like that."
Thinking of the stubborn Lord Loren, thinking of the other party's stubbornness and strong hostility towards this floating island, Keith couldn't help but shake his head.
To be honest, in Keith's opinion, if this floating island had not appeared in time, their kingdom of Karsus would have been captured by the empire and declared destroyed. How could Lord Loren stay in Karsus peacefully? Losing your temper in town?
However, it is a pity that the purpose of this floating island is the same as that of the empire, and even more greedy and domineering than the empire, so they will definitely not be grateful.
"Didn't father ask you to come here?"
"That……"
"What do you want from Shirley?"
"If it's something important, then you can go directly there. They have been sitting there for a while."
"I don't know how long they are going to talk."
Scott was relieved when he heard that there was no news or new instructions from Karsus, and then he signaled to Keith that he could do whatever he wanted and not bother him.
"It's something big or small."
"But there's no rush!"
"It's useless to rush anyway. I think I'd better wait..."
If Princess Shirley was the only one there, Keith would have gone directly to report the situation as soon as possible. But...since the scary little girl was still there, he would just wait and forget it.
Because he didn't know how to face that little guy at all, and now, so far away, just thinking about the other person's identity made him feel uncomfortable.
"Something neither big nor small?"
"General Keith, this is not your style."
"Can you tell me about it?"
"You also saw that they are over there and they probably won't leave in a short time. Why don't you tell me first?"
Scott's curiosity was piqued.
"..."
Keith looked at the two people in the distance, thought for a moment, nodded, then turned around and motioned for Scott to follow him to the other side.
"!!"
"Did something happen to Karsus?"
"Did the Empire attack Karsus City?"
"Is that so?"
Seeing Keith's expression, Scott felt something bad, and then asked anxiously.
He remembered that when he came to the Floating Island, the empire's army was still not far from Karsus City, and the empire's military strength was still at an absolute advantage. During this time, Scott and Shirley People up there have always had very little information, and they don't know the specific situation on the ground at all. Now that Keith is here again, he will definitely be a little suspicious.
Although it is said that a new threat from this floating city has appeared in their world, and almost all countries and lords have been attracted, and it is estimated that a big war will not be fought easily, but no one can guarantee that the empire will not be able to fight. Before that, they would take risks and destroy Karsus or something.
"No!"
"Scott, don't worry yet."
After first comforting the young adopted son of the lord next to him, Keith found a place to sit down and explained slowly:
"Karsus City was indeed attacked before I set off."
"But it's not an empire, it's a demon clan!"
"A few days ago..."
"The demons raided the city of Karsus. Their attack was very powerful, causing us a lot of casualties. Even Alvin was seriously injured, and Liana was directly kidnapped by the demons... "
"Because the princess is good friends with Alvin and Liana, so I thought of coming here to tell her the news."
Thinking about the extremely dangerous attack by the demon army a few days ago, Keith's expression couldn't help but become a little solemn.
"!!"
"Karsus was attacked by demons?!"
"General Keith!"
"Father, is he okay?"
He was stunned for a moment, and then Scott hurriedly asked about the situation of his adoptive father, Lord Loren.
"Lord?"
"Of course Lord, he is fine, don't worry about that!"
Keith comforted him with a wry smile. In fact, if something happened to the lord, he might not have this calm expression now.
"but……"
"I'm afraid Liana will be in danger."
Thinking of the poor Witch of Light who was first hunted by the empire, hiding in various places, and finally managed to save her life under the protection of Karsus, but now was kidnapped by the demons, Keith couldn't help but frown. , very worried.
Because it was hard for him to imagine what kind of miserable end awaited him after he fell into the hands of the demons.
"I'll be relieved if my father is fine..."
"As for Liana, Keith, just don't worry!"
First he breathed a huge sigh of relief, and then Scott explained to Keith, who was a little confused, and told him the news he had heard before.
"!!"
"Liana was rescued?"
"Who saved it?"
"That little girl?!"
"But!"
"What the hell is going on?"
When he first heard the fact that Liana was on this floating island, Keith was a little confused for a moment, and he was a little helpless and pointed at the troubled little girl sitting with Shirley in the distance and questioned Scott. asked.
You know, a few days ago, the demons just raided Karsus and killed and injured many people. Even the lord's castle, city walls and city streets were damaged a lot, but now, the kidnapped light The witch Liana was rescued, and now she was on this floating island. That kind of thing was too much of a coincidence, and he couldn't figure it out.
"I'm not so sure either……"
"Liana is still recovering, and neither Shirley nor I can see her, so I don't know what's going on."
After all, this floating island belongs to someone else, and Scott and others are just 'guests' here. How can they be informed of everything that happens in the owner's house in detail?
"..."
Keith stopped talking and began to frown and look at the back of the little girl in the distance, thinking deeply.
He vaguely felt that the matter couldn't be that simple. There might be some kind of connection or huge conspiracy that he didn't know about?
As he thought about it, when he looked at the back of the little girl sitting with Shirley, his eyes gradually became suspicious.
…
At this time, Anne had no idea that two guys were talking about her in a low voice not far behind her. She just rested her chin with her hands and sat in the floating sky with Miss Shirley from Karsus. I was standing on a large, smooth rock not far from the edge of the island, watching the sunset on the horizon and dangling my feet in boredom.
Now, the sun on the ground must have set. However, because the floating island is at an altitude of 10,000 meters, the sight must be better and higher than on the ground, so, for now, they can still see To the red and round sunset above the 'horizon' that is not dazzling at all.
"Annie..."
After the two chatted for a while and watched the sunset, suddenly, Shirley spoke.
"how?"
(๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
"Just tell me if you have anything to do!"
(๑¯ω¯๑)
Annie was a little confused and urged directly.
She could tell that the other party must have something on his mind, so she specially invited her to come here. However, the other party kept nagging after arriving, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
"you……"
"All right!"
"Is such that!"
"Then I'll say it!"
"You...can't you not interfere in our world?"
"Can I beg you?"
Shirley mustered up her courage and finally spoke in that anxious and pleading tone.
"??"
∑(´△`)?
"But!"
(・_・)ヾ
"It seems like they haven't interfered much?"
く(^_・)ゝ
Scratching her head, Annie expressed her innocence.
After all, she seems to have been just playing, and she has also done a lot of good deeds and saved a lot of people, including this Miss Shirley in front of her?
Therefore, she was a little confused as to what she had done wrong, what she had interfered with, and why the other party said such inexplicable words.
"you!"
"Why not?"
"You didn't create this island?"
Looking at the innocent little girl in front of her, Shirley opened her mouth in shock. Finally, she took a deep breath and pointed at the building floating thousands of meters below them with a straight face. Said the floating island high in the sky.
"yes?"
(´・_・`)
"But people thought that the dragon was smelly and stupid, and it couldn't carry gardens and palaces, so they made it conveniently. So what's wrong?"
(,,•₃•,,)
Annie didn't think there was anything wrong with creating this floating island. After all, she pulled it up directly from the uninhabited mountain range. She didn't bother anyone or anything. She just made it for herself in this world. Just got a slightly bigger house and garden.
Of course, more importantly, maybe they were not angry with the annoying Grenier and Matthew at the time for their contempt for her omnipotent Queen Anne?
Because the three guys thought she couldn't get it out, they all thought she was talking big words, so she had to get the island directly into the sky, and then accidentally, it developed like this.
"Palaces and gardens are all right, even cities..."
"But!"
"There are troops up there!"
"They also said...they also said they wanted to rule our world!?"
Shirley screamed a little frantically, and her tone became slightly excited.
"oh!"
(⊙o⊙*)
"So this is what you care about..."
(*^▽^*)
Anne blinked, then suddenly laughed, and finally understood the reason why the other party said those inexplicable words.
"However, this matter is not my fault!" ^-^)~'
"It was Sonia who said that she wanted a world where all races can coexist peacefully, so I decided to help her realize that little wish."
(σ゚∀゚)σ
In this regard, Anne did not hide it and directly told her the cause and effect.
"!!"
"It's that simple?"
"She thought, and you're going to help her?"
"How can it be?!"
Shirley's tone couldn't help but become sharp again, and then, of course, Keith and Scott not far away were attracted and cast doubtful eyes towards them.
"yes!"
(=^▽^=)
"It was promised."
(*^▽^*)
"If you promise, you must keep it. These are the exact words of Amorin's mother!"
(。•̀ꌂ-)✧
Anne made a playful face at the other party.
Originally, she herself found this matter a bit troublesome, and didn't want to interfere too much, but, since she had agreed, it was always not good to go back on her word, so she simply let Azshara do it. Big sister, let them handle it!
"But!"
"This is wrong!"
"if……"
"If she wants to destroy the world, do you want to help her?"
If there can really be a world where all races can coexist peacefully, then of course it would be good. Shirley herself couldn't really say anything bad about it, but she always felt that Anne was wrong to do this. I can only use this metaphor in a somewhat crazy way.
"Destroy the world?"
(*¯ㅿ¯*;)
"Well……"
(ಠ~ಠ)
"Although it is not difficult for others, but Sister Shirley, do you really want to destroy the world?"
|ू•ૅω•́)ᵎᵎ
"If you want to, there might be a way!"
↜(ψ`▽′)o
Although Annie has never destroyed any world so far, that kind of thing is not difficult for her. If she wants to, she can still do it easily. That kind of small thing is obviously not as big as crushing a world. Glass balls are even harder.
"!!"
"No!!"
“I don’t want to at all!!!”
Shirley was shocked. She didn't know if the other person's face meant her, so she quickly stood up and took two steps back, while denying it loudly.
"Compared to that!"
"I want you even more to ask your people to stop all their behavior and let them return to their own world!"
Then, Shirley hurriedly added.
"I'm afraid this won't work!"
ε=(´ο`*)))Alas
"Because I promised Sonia first, this matter must be on a first-come, first-served basis!"
(。•̀ᴗ-)
"but!"
(✧◡✧)
"It's okay to destroy the world. Otherwise, I'll help Sonia first, and then, if you feel dissatisfied, I'll let you destroy the world. What do you think of this suggestion?"
ꉂ(๑✪ꇴ✪)
Anne also said eagerly, anyway, it is not impossible for her to restore after destruction, and it seems that she has not tried to create a world yet, and if the other party wants to play that kind of game , she might as well give it a try with the other party.
"No!!"
"I don't want to destroy the world at all!"
"You guy!"
"What are you talking about? That kind of evil thing..."
"What is this all about?"
"I……"
"I didn't think about that kind of thing!!"
Shirley, who was a little at a loss, was completely crazy now and started to become a little speechless.
"Don't you want to?"
(ಠ~ಠ)
"But, since you don't want to, then why are you dissatisfied with Sonia's idea of making the world a better place?"
(。•ˇ‸ˇ•。)
Looking at the other party's somewhat inconsistent words, Anne expressed some confusion.
"Can!"
"How do you know that the world will definitely get better in the future, not worse?"
After gathering her composure, Shirley could only force herself to quibble and protest.
"People know it!"
ヾ(^▽^*)))
Anne looked proud, because she had done similar things before and was very experienced in it.
For example, in the Koprulu sector where she lives, before she went there, the three races of humans, protoss and Zerg in that world were fighting almost every day. It collapsed.
And the result...
After she, the Head of State Anne, appeared, the world suddenly became peaceful.
Immediately afterwards, the Terrans, Zergs, and Protoss there stopped fighting, and the star area suddenly became peaceful. How wonderful that was.
(…)
(● ̄㉨ ̄●)
(Tibbers said that is indeed good. The three tribes in the Koprulu Star District have indeed stopped fighting and are at peace. The humans no longer step on those bugs when walking on the road, and the Spear of Adun of the Gods is also on top. The Zerg can be allowed to run around...because, they have all gone to fight others now, and they have been sharpening their knives waiting for some bad little master of their family to open a new portal and send them gifts. Let’s go to the new world coordinates!)
"you!!"
Looking at Annie with a determined look on her face, Shirley was a little angry and choked, and didn't know what to say.
"Anyway!"
"That's not right for you to do that!"
With that said, seeing that she couldn't convince Anne, Shirley had no choice but to turn around angrily and run towards Scott in the distance.
She saw that Keith seemed to have returned from Karsus, so she wanted to ask some questions. As for the little guy behind her who made her a little crazy and helpless, she planned to ignore it for now and wait until she thought about it. How to convince the other party before talking?
"??"
(๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
"Hello!"
!(;゚o゚)o
"Sister Shirley, do you really not want to play a game that destroys the world? I can really help you do it!"
٩(๑^o^๑)۶
Seeing the other party throw it away angrily for no reason, Annie of course suggested it again.
"..."
However, Shirley, who was troubled and angry, had no intention of paying attention to her at all.
