Anne did not go directly to Stonewell City because, although she had received guidance from the big tree guard uncle and those soldiers, uncles, aunts, or elder sisters, as a road-crazy person, she naturally went astray accidentally. .
"..."
(๑վ‸վ๑)
Anne, who was sitting on Tibbers' shoulder, looked around and found that there were no landmark buildings or mountains that could indicate the direction. She couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.
"Tibbers..."
(◎_◎;)
"you say……"
(′～`●)
"Where are the storm level and the ruins of Nimgefusi in front of the level that they mentioned, and why didn't people see it?"
(ಠ╭╮ಠ)
After walking out of the woods, they wandered around and even teleported dozens of times over short distances, but the result was: it was almost dark now, and Annie still hadn't found the two places she just mentioned.
(I'm sorry, dear little master, I don't know much either...)
(●￣(ｴ)￣●)
(I can’t help it. A certain bad little master likes to stay off the beaten track and doesn’t follow the main road. He insists on wandering around and teleporting. Now, Tibbers himself is lost! After all, he really knows this place. I’m not very familiar with it, and I don’t know what the characteristics of the two places just now are, so I’m really helpless.)
"snort!"
(•́へ•́╬)
"Tibbers!"
o(*｀ー´)o
"It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, how could they come to such a poor place? You're really useless!"
(ಠ~ಠ)
Of course, Annie directly placed the blame on a certain bear.
Anyway, Queen Anne will definitely not make mistakes. The only one who makes mistakes is Tibbers the Bear. Now, of course, it is all his fault for getting lost.
She said yes and no!
(…)
(●￣㉨￣●)
(Tibbers consciously did not refute, because he knew that it would be useless and he might get a beating, so it was best to just shut up?)
"Huh?"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
"Tibbers, people have seen it. There seems to be some big building over there?"
(°ー°〃)
"quick!"
٩(๑^o^๑)۶
"Let's go over and take a look!"
ヾ(^▽^*)))
After looking around for a while, in addition to the surrounding groups of wild wilderness sheep and those disgusting weird bugs, Anne suddenly discovered something strange, and then hurriedly patted Tibbers on the head to urge him. With.
(…)
(●￣㉨￣●)
(Tibbers didn’t hesitate, raised his legs and walked in the direction indicated by some bad little master. Anyway, it doesn’t matter where he goes, and ah, in order not to get lost again later. After being dumped for no reason, it has decided that from now on it will not say a word and it will go wherever the other party likes to go. It will just listen to orders and will never interfere.)
"Let's go!"
✧*. ٩(ˊωˋ*)و✧*.
Annie ignored Xiong's inner dissatisfaction and cheered loudly.
Not long after, one person and one bear came to the huge place that Anne had seen from a distance, which looked like a square.
"strangeness……"
(｡ŏ_ŏ)
"What is this place used for?"
(๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
Looking at everything in front of her, Annie blinked and felt a little baffled.
(…)
(●￣㉨￣●)
(Tibbers didn't say anything, because of course he didn't know. Anyway, he only knew that there seemed to be some kind of magic here, and whether it was magic, arcana, or arcana, it was not him at all. What the uncle is good at.)
"Weird!"
(lll￢ω￢)
"This is not a park, let alone a city. Why build such a big square in such a mountainous area?"
(т‾▵‾)
Looking at the flat, huge circular square built on a high mountain in front of her, and looking at the thick bricks and strange carvings on the ground, Anne's doubts became even more intense.
"Huh?"
(゜-゜)
"There seems to be some writing over there?"
(・_・)ヾ
Soon, Anne made some other discoveries, and then, as a matter of course, she patted Tibbers on the head and motioned for him to go over and take a look.
(…)
(◎㉨◎；)
Under Annie's instructions, a certain bear did not dare to neglect and ran directly towards the shining words on the ground.
"Um……"
(｡•ˇ‸ˇ•｡)
"ah!"
!(;ﾟoﾟ)o
"So that's what it's like!"
(^～^;)ゞ
After reading the magic words left by who knows who, and walking to the middle of this huge circular square, I walked to the entrance that looked like some kind of pattern, but was actually the entrance to a magic sealed prison. , Anne finally knew where this place was.
It turns out that through the descriptions in those words and the observation of this place, Anne discovered that this place, like a large square, seemed to be a sealed prison in Storm Hill?
As for the storm level she originally wanted to go to, it must be not far from here.
After all, it is not difficult for Annie to guess through the text that the storm level and the current Storm Hill Sealed Prison must be in the same area!
As for how far apart the two are, she doesn't know.
So, Anne quickly came to another conclusion, that is: she had not lost her way at all, she just accidentally strayed a little from the direction?
"But……"
(.＿.)
"How can such a large sealed prison be left unguarded?"
̋(ˊ•͈ꇴ•͈ˋ)
After looking around and finding that it was quiet except for the wild goats and those disgusting bugs in the distance, Annie felt a little surprised.
She originally wanted to find someone to ask for directions, but now she saw that such a large magic prison didn't even have a jailer, so her plan to go find someone to ask for directions was completely in vain. .
"There's really no one..."
(ﾟДﾟ≡ﾟдﾟ)?
"Oh well!"
ε=(´ο｀*)))Alas
After looking left and right, and then at the center of the square at the feet of Tibbers, which looked like some kind of pattern but was actually the entrance to a magic prison, Anne quickly thought of a solution.
Then, she jumped down from Tibbers's shoulder, and then stretched out her hand, and the bear turned into a small stuffed teddy bear, and she grabbed another bear paw and carried it upside down. In hand.
"It seems that we can only go to this prison to find the prisoner and ask for directions."
(ಠ~ಠ)
It doesn't matter if there are no guards, at least there are prisoners, right?
then!
After making the decision, a troubled little girl began to look at the magic runes that sealed the prison at her feet, and quickly figured out some of the simple principles of entry and exit.
Then, as soon as she stretched out her hand, the circular pattern lit up under the activation of her magic power, indicating that she had successfully opened the passage into the prison.
(Well... Dear little master, there must be some kind of monster sealed inside this sealed prison. Are you sure you want to go in directly and ask for directions?)
(●￣(ｴ)￣●)
(At this time, Tibbers spoke. Because it didn’t think the sealed guy inside could speak. In its mind, it might be some kind of powerful monster that couldn’t be easily eliminated, such as those disgusting monsters around it. Big bug?)
"Just take a look, if it doesn't work, come out again!"
(｡•̀ꌂ-)✧
Anne stuck out her tongue and said playfully without taking Tibbers' advice to heart.
In fact, let alone whether there might be some kind of powerful monster inside that couldn't be easily eliminated, she wasn't afraid even if it was some kind of demon, she just wanted to go in and take a look!
(…)
(●￣㉨￣●)
(Obviously, Tibbers has figured out that asking for directions is just a poor excuse. At the moment, this bad little master of his family is just curious, so he insists on going in and taking a look. It’s just a rarity.)
At this time, Annie activated the magic circle.
Then, the scene changed!
She and a certain bear both realized that they were still standing in the middle of that huge square?
However, I don’t know what’s going on, but the surrounding sky has completely dimmed. Moreover, around this huge circular square, in a certain area outside the stone floor tiles, there seems to be something. An invisible wall like a barrier?
"ah!"
(￣︶￣)
"People know!"
₍₍٩(ᐛ)۶₎₎♪
"turn out to be……"
(ˊᵒ̴̶̷̤ꇴᵒ̴̶̷̤ˋ)
"What's this about this prison? It's actually a demi-dimensional prison?"
o(^▽^)o
With just one glance, Annie figured out what the sealed prison in Storm Hill was about.
It's nothing more than using magic to open up a demi-plane, and then stuffing some guys who don't understand magic in and imprisoning them here.
For example, a guy like the stupid bear Tibbs in her hand?
In her opinion, if the little bear is locked in a place like this, unless the energy of the seal is exhausted and collapses on its own, otherwise a stupid guy like her little bear Tibbers will definitely not be able to get out. Did you go?
(…)
(￢㉨￢.)
"But……"
(´•︵•`)
"There seems to be no one here..."
(・ε・｀)
Then, after looking around, Annie couldn't help but feel a little confused and angry.
What she saw was that in this demi-plane sealed prison, the surroundings were completely flat. Except for herself, there was no sign of the existence of anyone or any monster.
"Could it be that this place is empty, or that the prisoner is already dead?"
(*¯ㅿ¯*;)
Naturally, after seeing that there was no prisoner, Anne began to make random guesses.
She had just seen outside that there were no guards or soldiers on duty near here. And since there was no one inside or outside, it was probably because the prisoners here were dead or taken away?
And since the prison is empty, it must be unattended.
"Really..."
ε=(´ο｀*)))Alas
"The wait was in vain!"
₍₍٩(＿＿*)₎₎
There was no other way. Since there was indeed no prisoner here, Annie had to give up and planned to reactivate the formation and leave this empty place.
"!!"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
"Huh?"
(๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
"wrong!"
+
At this time, Annie seemed to have discovered something, and she quickly turned around and looked towards a faint blue place not far away.
"That is……"
(⊙o⊙*)
"Ha! Is there really someone?"
ヾ(⌒∇⌒*)~♪
After making the new discovery, Anne immediately cheered.
This is really a dead end and there is no way out. Seeing that her judgment just now was wrong, and now that she has made a new discovery, Anne naturally heads towards the place she found without missing anything. Ran over.
It turns out that the sealed prison in Storm Hill actually has two levels of restrictions. The place where she is now is probably where some of the original guards stayed, and the blue place in the distance is where the prisoners are. Where was he being held?
"Is there anyone over there?"
o(▽｀ o)=3 =3
Seeing that there seemed to be some kind of movement in the place not far away, Anne ran directly towards the place that seemed to be a hiding place without even thinking about it.
However……
Uh-huh! !
The moment she approached, a man wearing dark plate armor, holding a dark red sword, a ferocious ox-horn buckler, and an ax suddenly appeared in the dark blue place that looked like a crack in space. The knight in the helmet slashed at her with his sword while the opponent was still head-on.
"Wow!!"
!? (•''•۶)۶
Fortunately, Annie had quick eyesight and quick hands, and she narrowly avoided the opponent's big sword.
"What are you doing?"
o(*｀ー´)o
After dodging at the critical moment, and seeing the opponent's attack that cut a big hole in the ground with every strike of his sword, Anne naturally put her hands on her hips and shouted angrily at the opponent.
"Shut up!"
"Malika's lackey!"
"Come and accept your fate!"
"In the name of the Forge of Life!"
"In the name of the Prime King!!"
However, the knight ignored Anne's angry rebuke. He just scolded and shouted, and then rushed towards Anne again.
"??"
ヽ(゜Q.)ノ?
Annie said that she didn't understand what the other party meant at all, and she didn't seem to be Malika's lackey?
Uh-huh! !
The opponent learned the lesson just now, and this time he didn't swing his sword, but swiped at Annie's shield, which was right above her head, and slapped it with the huge and ferocious horn shield!
pity!
"!!"
!!!∑(ﾟДﾟノ)ノ
Anne easily dodged it and narrowly avoided it again.
"Pooh!"
ε=(◕ˇεˇ◕｡))) Bah! !
"You can't hit me!!"
(*๓´ꌂ`๓)
After dodging away, Anne didn't bother to explain, but made a big face at the other party without being polite at all.
To be honest, if Anne hadn't left the other party to ask for directions, the two attacks that the other party launched on her indiscriminately would have been enough for Queen Anne to set fire to it and burn it to ashes.
"!!"
“Witness the power of the furnace of life!!”
Seeing that Anne was not an ordinary little girl and easily dodged her attacks twice, and also used some kind of magic, she thought that the other party must be the knight who was one of Malika's descendants, so she never stopped. He hesitated or dared to look down on him, but instead he roared angrily, and after exploding all his momentum, a pair of golden wings of light sprouted from his back, and then flew into the air.
"Eh?"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
"You can actually fly?"
(°ー°〃)
Seeing the other party's slightly unexpected behavior, Anne couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and at the same time she subconsciously looked up at the sky.
Buzz! !
However……
The next second, the opponent suddenly accelerated her flight, used the long sword as a spear, and stabbed towards her in an instant.
"!!"
━(◯Δ◯∥)━ン
"Flash~!"
|ू•ૅω•́)ᵎᵎᵎ
Unfortunately, Annie is not someone to be bullied. She easily dodged the opponent's attack with another flash.
"!!"
"The Hundred Phases of the Furnace!!"
Before Annie could say anything, suddenly, the guy who had just missed him roared again before he hit the ground.
Then, Annie was surprised to see that a long and huge terrifying tail that looked like a snake or a dragon grew out from behind the other person's butt?
Then, of course, the tail whizzed and rolled towards Annie's head from a distance.
boom! ! !
At the same time as the dust splashed and the loud rumbling sound was heard, this small demi-plane sealed prison began to shake slightly.
"Well?!"
However, the knight soon discovered to his surprise:
Nothing happened to the little girl. At this time, there was a faint red shield around her petite body?
And just now, his blow shook the ground and cracked the ground around where the opponent was standing, but he couldn't get a single bit of it.
"snort!"
"Little tricks!"
After discovering that the 'Dragon Tail', which used the power of the Forge of Life, could not defeat the enemy, the knight was not annoyed and directly raised his sword again and launched a charge.
Obviously, he seems to have rich experience in dealing with mages or gods. He also knows that when magical attacks are ineffective, he must switch to physical attacks?
"Tibbers..."
(๑վ‸վ๑)
"catch him!!"
↜(ψ｀╭╮′)o~~⁽'㉨'⁾
However, Annie was not in the mood to play with him for too long, so when she saw him charging forward again, she waved her hand and threw the bear in her hand towards him.
"..."
Facing the 'hidden weapon' thrown by Annie, the knight didn't panic at all. He directly raised the ferocious buckler in his hand and planned to shoot it away.
Unfortunately……
"Roar~!!!"
ꉂʕᓀꇴᓂʔ：! !
"?!"
The next second, what surprised him was:
The 'hidden weapon' suddenly became taller and bigger than him. Then, as the opponent's huge claws waved, a terrifying force hit him, and he seemed to be struck by an ancient dragon or giant. He was hit so hard that he and his shield were sent flying sideways by the other party?
Bang! ! !
As there was a muffled sound on the half-dimensional space barrier of the Storm Hill Sealed Prison, the knight tilted his head, his vision went dark, and he slowly slid down from the top.
Bang~!
Then, there was the ferocious horned buckler. It flew to the side with a spin, and rotated on the ground of the stone brick square for a while like a top, and then made that 'clang' sound.
And its owner was still languishing beside the space barrier of that demiplane, motionless, and it was not known whether he was dead or not.
