On the third day, Anne arrived at her destination 'successfully'.
She did not follow Melina's guidance and return directly to Water Calling Village and enter the Galede Wilderness via Smoked Fire Church. Nor did she directly try to go around from the east side of Malika's Third Church to the Gale Mine. Instead, she directly used The method of teleportation, after many attempts and positioning (random teleportation), finally successfully reached the southernmost part of the Galede Wilderness, found the island, and successfully arrived after passing a bridge called the 'Unbreakable Bridge' She found the Red Lion City she was looking for.
When she arrived, it was said that the battle festival would be held at noon tomorrow. Many people had already arrived, so she was almost the late one.
But it doesn't matter, she's here anyway, and she's not late yet, so that's fine.
"Wow!"
(⊙o⊙*)
"So this is the Red Lion City?"
(⊙?⊙)
"It seems to be a little more prosperous than that Stoneville city..."
()
For the first time, Annie had a slightly different view of this border area, and she also had a slight liking for the Broken Star General Latarn.
Because, here, this Red Lion City is actually different from the dilapidated Stonewell City and the Rhea Lucalia Magic Academy that she occupied before. There seems to be a very good order here, and the city and city walls are relatively intact. There are still many normal people in the residential areas, and countless Red Lion Legion soldiers are still guarding here.
If you don't look at the scarlet corruption pollution everywhere in the Galede Wilderness, maybe this is really the most normal place in the entire junction?
It's a pity that the prosperity of this Red Lion City is just the last sign of stubbornness. Now, the entire Galede is crumbling under the pollution of scarlet corruption and is on the verge of destruction. Without the support of the land and people, there is no doubt how long this place can last. an unknown number.
Anyway, while teleporting many times on the road, Anne had seen with her own eyes many miserable scenes in the Galede area that were almost on the verge of destruction.
In the Galede Wilderness area, the spores of scarlet corruption are indeed spread everywhere. Wild dogs, crows and other animals have also evolved into monsters, devouring everyone who dares to come and go in the Galede area. Moreover, scarlet corruption It also turned the river into a swamp, caused the trees and flowers to wither, and made this land die bit by bit. The tragic situation was no less than the pollution caused by the death plague of the undead that Anne had seen before.
The only difference between the two sides is probably the difference between spores and plague.
'Woo...'
'Uh...wu...'
At this time, before Anne could enter the city gate, she was the first to hear melodious and long-lasting mournful music and screams coming from the fortress.
"Eh?"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
It is obvious that it must be the tragic song played by the residents and soldiers of the Red Lion City for their beloved and respected demigod, 'General Broken Star' Latarn. Tomorrow, the so-called battle festival will be The funeral of Latan, the strongest demigod among them!
It is said that although Latarn, who was invaded by scarlet corruption, still survived by relying on his overwhelming strength, his thoughts that have been constantly corroded over the years have made him more and more like a rampaging beast, and he also began to wander on the beach. It devoured everything with signs of life and the corpses of the dead, whether they were the enemy's or our own.
In view of years of hard work, it has been determined that the scarlet corruption cannot be cured. Therefore, in order to prevent their respected General Ratan from turning into a miserable beast, the Red Lion City finally decided to play the sad music and Post hero posts widely, summoning heroes and strong men from all over the border to participate in this grand ceremony of fighting against the strongest demigod in the legend, and give their General Latan an honorable death and a grand funeral.
"Let's go, Tibbers!"
(*^▽^*)
After listening for a while, Annie curled her lips and put that unimportant matter behind her.
"Let's go join in the fun!"
?(?)?
Then, looking at the lively venue in front of her, Annie cheered, took her little bear and ran towards the urn-like place in front of her that was used to hold the ceremony.
Clang! !
But...
Before Anne could enter the main venue that seemed to be dedicated to holding festivals and enter the urn city with all kinds of food, drink and delicacies, unexpectedly, two of the Red Lion Legion guards guarding both sides of the gate suddenly used The halberds in their hands were turned sideways and blocked Anne's front arrogantly, refusing her entry.
"??"
=????('ヮ'=????)
"Two uncles, what are you doing?"
(°ー°〃)
Anne was a little confused.
Because she saw many strange guys who had just entered, such as werewolves, faded ones, or stone mages, but these two uncles did not stop them. How come when she was about to go in, the other party But why are you so arrogant and unreasonable?
"go back!"
"This is not a place for kids like you to cause trouble!"
The soldier of the Red Lion Legion didn't give Anne a good look. He glared at Anne with his fierce eyes hidden behind his helmet and yelled through gritted teeth.
Because, behind them, the battle ceremony that is about to be held is a ceremony that will give an honorable death to their most beloved general Latarn. It is an extremely serious and sorrowful thing. Only those with strong strength, Only strong men and heroes who are willing to fight to the death with their generals can enter.
They don't care who the person is, or whether they are human beings, or what profession they are, even if they are the annoying faded ones, but as long as they think they are powerful or look powerful, they will Everyone will allow the other party to enter, but that will definitely not include the little girl in front of him who seems to be helpless!
They would not easily allow a child to cause trouble in the solemn ceremony, nor would they allow him to appear in front of their beloved General Latarn!
"??"
(
"Who's going to cause trouble? I'm here to participate in the festival!"
Q(`⌒′Q)
Annie said angrily, and was about to reach out her hand to push away the opponent's halberd.
"Back off!"
"Only the strong and heroes from all over the border can enter here!"
"Go back quickly!"
Although the review mechanism of this festival is not perfect, and they will not seriously review the qualifications or strength of every person who comes, no matter how you look at it, the little girl with thin skin and tender flesh in front of you will definitely not be People they think are qualified to get in.
"But!"
(‖)?
"He is a strong person!"
?(?﹏?,)?
Anne began to argue and glared at the bad guy who blocked her and reprimanded her with some annoyance!
Although, she came to this festival with the intention of having fun, causing trouble, or joining in the fun, but in fact, Queen Anne is indeed a strong person, and ah, she is still the kind of person who can easily The kind that cleans up everyone inside!
"I'll say it again!"
"leave here!"
"Now!"
"immediately!"
"roll!!"
Unfortunately, the soldier of the Red Lion Legion did not buy it, and once again scolded and drove Anne fiercely.
"!!"
!? (?''??)?
"you!!"
(╬)
Annie was so angry that she was ready to give the other party a good look.
"alright."
Fortunately, at this time, the irritable gatekeeper who had spoken rudely to Anne did not wait to be driven away by force. The soldier standing on the other side, who was also blocking with a horizontal halberd, spoke:
"Why are you arguing with a child?"
"Hello!"
"brat……"
"It's easy for you to get in. Show us what you are capable of?"
"If not, then get out!"
He first persuaded his companion, then looked at Anne, and then asked impatiently in a hoarse voice.
"prove?"
(゜-゜)
"Um……"
()
Anne began to think.
After all, she has a lot of skills, she knows everything, so she really has to think carefully about proving that she is qualified to get in.
"Prove it, prove it, don't regret it?"
()
Rolling her eyes, Annie quickly thought of a perfect way to not only prove her strength, but also teach the two bad guys in front of her who underestimated her a lesson.
"watch out!!"
?(ψ`▽′)o--*?
After making the decision, Anne just stretched out her hand, and a red heat ray instantly hit the steel halberds in their hands, and then...
The next second, the two halberds held by the opponent's hands quickly turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye and quickly turned into molten iron and dripped directly to the ground.
Of course, some of it flowed directly onto the gloves and arms of the two people, which is definitely indispensable.
"!!"
"Wow!!"
"!?"
"Uhhhhh!!!"
Immediately afterwards, of course, the two Red Lion City guards, each holding a halberd, exclaimed, hurriedly shook or covered their hands that were burned by the iron juice, rolled to the side, and hurriedly tried to take off their hands. He screamed loudly while his gloves were smoking and burning.
"!!"
"what's the situation?"
"what happened?"
"them……"
"??"
Hearing the screams from the city gate, many soldiers from Red Lion City soon gathered around.
"Deserve it!"
(*?′?`?)
Although they were wearing iron-clad gloves, and there was probably a thick layer of non-slip leather on some parts of the inside, it was no joke to have hot molten iron poured onto their hands and cause them to smoke and catch fire. In that case, A few big blisters from being burned would be considered a good thing.
"Now, can you prove how powerful I am?"
Guhu
o(′^`)oHmph!
As she said that, Annie stopped talking to them, and she didn't pay attention to the pointing of the soldiers who were surrounding them. Instead, she proudly raised her chin towards the city gate and towards the festival inside. I strode into the venue where it was held.
"Hello!"
"please wait!"
However……
After getting rid of the two guys guarding the door and causing many people to cast surprised looks at her, before Annie could enter the festival venue where there were many people and there were many tables and food, there was another A Red Lion City soldier sitting nearby stood up and called to her.
"??"
(゜-゜)
"Uncle, what do you want to do?"
(lll¬▽¬)
"Do you also want someone to prove it to you?"
(?~?)
"Then tell me, do you want your leg armor to be burned off, or your helmet to be burned off?!"
o(*`ー′)o
Annie, who was already a little impatient, straightened her little face and kept scanning the other person's body parts with no good intentions.
She has made up her mind. As long as the other party nods in agreement, she will cast one of the other's armor parts directly on the other party's body!
"ah!"
"No no no!"
"I don't want you to prove anything..."
"I am the secretary here. I am only responsible for registering the names of visiting heroes and strong men..."
"look?"
Hearing Anne's words, the man hurriedly waved his hands, and then immediately picked up the parchment on the table that seemed to have many names written on it and the quill in his other hand.
If Annie was just an ordinary little girl, it goes without saying that he would have asked someone to carry her out. However, after looking at the two unlucky ones over there who were crying and covering their hands with wet towels, He felt that it was best for him not to talk too much?
"oh!"
(⊙?⊙)
“So you still need to register?”
(ˉ▽ ̄~)Cut~~
After blinking and seeing that the other party was indeed registering some information, Annie gave up her plan to burn a certain part of the other party's body and walked to the other party's table instead.
"All right!"
′ο`*)))Alas
"Then tell me, what exactly do you want to register?"
(????)
As long as the other party's request is reasonable and not deliberately making things difficult, then Annie has no reason to refuse. After all, she is a guest and is here to participate in that fun festival. She is not here to cause trouble or deliberately cause trouble.
Of course, trouble must be caused. How could she, Queen Anne, not get involved? However, it is not time to cause trouble now, and there is no need to be too deliberate, just be casual.
(…)
(● ̄? ̄●)
"that……"
"Mainly counting names and origins."
"You should know that the battle festival is very dangerous. If something unexpected happens then, maybe we can send a letter to your family?"
"Of course, the premise is that you are sure you want to participate in that dangerous festival?"
He explained implicitly and explained how powerful it was, and then dipped in ink. Then, after the clerk saw that Anne had no intention of backing down, he signaled that she could register her own number.
In addition to basic registration, he also means making a will.
After all, one of their current Broken Star generals has been tortured crazy by scarlet corruption. Anyone, whether they are friends or foes, men, women, or children, will be in danger of dying at any time as long as they appear on that beach. No joke! At that time, they may not even dare to collect the body. At most, they will just send a notification letter to the other party's family or organization at a convenient time.
"Um……"
(?í_ì?)
"Her name is Annie!"
()
After blinking and looking at the parchment, and even seeing a familiar name on it, Anne no longer hesitated and spoke her name openly.
"Annie?"
"OK."
"Then, where are you from?"
With a wave of his hand, he wrote Anne's name in beautiful calligraphy. The clerk looked up again and asked.
"Of course, this is not necessary, you don't have to write it..."
It is indeed optional to write this information, but if you write it, it will make it easier for them to send out the notification letter and deliver it smoothly.
Of course, it must have happened after the duel with their Broken Star General Latarn. It was an extremely glorious and great thing, even if he died on that beach, he died on the strongest In the hands of demigods, if you say it, your family will be proud.
"Stonville City!"
()
"They live in Stonewell's castle!"
(?′?`?)
Seeing that many people had written on the piece of paper, Annie thought for a while, then she still didn't choose to hide it, and directly told her 'origin' impatiently.
"S-Stonwell Castle?"
"ah!"
"Then you are..."
Hearing the name and address, the clerk sitting behind the desk was about to start writing, but when he came back to his senses, he suddenly exclaimed, then quickly raised his head and stared at Anne with some surprise.
Obviously, as a secretary, he seems to have a lot of knowledge about the changes in the Nimgofu area bordering Galede and the situation in Stonewell City. He has also heard a lot of rumors, such as 'limb replacement' 'Grek's death and the Godslayer becoming the new king and all that.
"He is the new king of Stonewell City!"
(????-)
From the look in the other person's eyes, Anne could naturally tell what the other person wanted to ask at a glance without having to guess, so she playfully winked at the other person and told him another thing directly.
"ah!"
"you……"
"Are you Her Majesty Queen Anne Hastur, the Storm and Fire who defeated the demigod 'Extended' Grek?"
The next second, when he heard that the clerk was indeed the same as he had guessed, he exclaimed and stood up supporting the table.
Of course, the demigod 'Extended Limb' Greg is known as the weakest demigod. Back then, he was scared to death by their Star-Shattering General. He even directly made up into a female family member and fled the royal city overnight, and was then beaten to death by the Valkyrie. The defeated army knelt down and begged for mercy, and even knelt down and licked Valkyrie's boots to beg for a chance to live. However, no matter what, the other party was also a genuine demigod and a descendant of the Golden Family!
But not long ago, their Red Lion City received news that the demigod with the limb was said to have been defeated, and that the Stonewell and Nimgfu areas also changed their owners, but he never thought about defeating him. The demigod Greg's could actually be a little girl like this?
"That's right!"
(^_?)☆
"Can people go in now?"
(????)
Annie didn't refute, she just asked cutely.
Although, the 'Extended Limb' Greg was not defeated by her herself, but was hacked to death by the countless 'magma pourers' she summoned, but it would definitely not be counted on her head. It's just wrong.
Anyway, that kind of detail doesn't require too much explanation.
"ah!"
"Of course!"
"Please come in quickly!"
Let's not talk about it, but if the new king of Stonewell City who defeated the demigod 'Extended Body' Greg, and the Queen Anne of 'Storm and Fire' came to challenge General Broken Star, then it would undoubtedly be a matter of It was something that the soldiers of the Red Lion Army felt very proud of, so of course he had no reason to refuse.
then!
With the welcome from the clerk and the surprised, admirable or disbelieving gazes and whispered discussions of many Red Lion soldiers around her, Anne was finally able to stride unimpeded towards the main venue of the battle festival inside. Went in.
"!!"
"The new king of Stonewell City, the Queen of 'Storm and Fire', Her Majesty Anne Hastur has arrived!!!"
Then, the secretary, who felt that it seemed to be a glorious thing, rarely shouted loudly towards the venue, towards the festival venue where guests and heroes from all over the world were gathering, and succeeded. The countless guests and powerful people in the venue were informed of Anne's arrival.
"..."
"is her……"
"!!"
"She killed Greg? No way?"
"Tsk..."
"snort!"
"Now there's something good to watch!"
"Well……?"
Soon, as the scribe shouted, the heroes, strong men, faded ones, pyrogen mages or other guys of unknown origin in the venue all moved towards a certain bad guy who was not at all stage frightened. The little girl cast a look of surprise, admiration, jealousy, confusion or vicious hatred.
"Hey! Dear uncles and sisters, hello!"
ヾ(=^▽^=)ノ
However, Anne didn't care what they thought. She just waved to the uncles or elder sisters who were paying attention to her and officially announced her arrival without any shyness.
(...)
(● ̄(?) ̄●)
"..."
And when the clerk called out Anne's name for the first time, when Anne entered the festival venue, when everyone cast different looks at Anne, further in front of the battle festival venue, there On the city wall, there is a knight wearing a pointed hood made of old pieces of cloth, and under the hood there is a bearded old man's mask. He is also holding an arrow stack with both hands, locking Anne tightly, and is also moving towards Anne cast a fiery gaze.
