Another Life: Elf Archer

"Sister Knight, this is for you."

Dulcinea took the red gem the size of her pinky fingernail, smiled and touched the little girl's head. Little Snowflake also lowered her head and rubbed the dirty smiling face.

The little girl giggled while hugging the unicorn's white neck, and looked at her playmates with pride and sniffed.

Dulcinea waved to the dwarf children. The boys and girls in ragged clothes looked at each other, cheered, and gathered around the knight sister and her beautiful horse, looking enviously as they hugged the horse's neck and refused to let go. The troublemaker reached out his hand cautiously.

Little Snowflake meekly bent its legs and knelt on the ground. The gravel on the ground could not hurt it at all. The flying dust seemed to have eyes, avoiding its body and the children around it.

Dulcinea gently touched Little Snowflake's head, her eyes moved away from these carefree children and fell on the busy dwarves.

The guards equipped with mechanical arms lifted the boulders, and the pressure valves chirped white smoke, drifting toward the broken zenith with their shouts;

The dwarf girls in the cloak alley and the weaving field have collected a lot of fabrics from the ruins and are sorting them by category, tearing the softest ones to bandage the wounded;

The leatherworker is cutting the leather according to the girls' requirements in preparation for the upcoming long journey;

The remaining dwarves were either crouching in search of usable sundries, or sneakily gathering the little food they found, or crawling into the gaps between boulders, calling out the names of their loved ones.

Several days have passed since the initial panic, confusion, cowardice and despair to now that life is still alive.

There was a big hole in the sky, the original artificial light source had been extinguished, and there were five real sunrises in the dark depths of the underground, and it would soon be the sixth.

"Dear Knight Dulcinea," the voice of No. 37 rang in her ears, and she turned her head, "We really can't find anything more useful. Should we prepare to leave?"

Dulcinea nodded: "Well, what did Mayor Fern say?"

"He said we have to wait for the injured to recover for a few days, otherwise it will be very troublesome to hit the road."

No. 37 looked at Fern, who was directing the guards to clear the boulders in the distance, with gratitude and respect in his eyes.

It was this man who stood up resolutely when everyone had just crawled out of the mine and faced this doomsday hell-like scene of grief and despair. He encouraged them with his steady voice, comforted them, and provided them with new ideas. Hope of life.

Dulcinea's eyes wandered involuntarily, but she couldn't say much, so she just continued to nod:

"Then just listen to him. After all, he has leadership experience. I'm just an ordinary person and don't understand many things."

No. 37 shook his head in disapproval:

"Without the timely warning from Lord Knight, it would be impossible for so many people to survive now."

"I'm just a sounding board. It was the elf lady who discovered the abnormality, and you were the one who thought of using the mine to take refuge in the face of danger." Dulcinea said with a smile.

No. 37 lowered his head shyly, his cheeks a little red:

"I also hit it by mistake. I'm just a miner and I'm only a little familiar with the mines."

"Then, I'll go and get busy first. It's still early. Please take a good rest!"

Seeing No. 37 escaping hastily, Dulcinea looked at the white sky above her head and couldn't help but laugh.

"Sister Knight, Sister Knight, look, look, I also found a beautiful stone!"

A small piece of thin gemstone lies in the tender little hand, like a drop of morning dew in the palm of the hand.

"It's really amazing. Here, I'll give you a reward." Dulcinea exchanged a piece of candy for the gem fragment and solemnly put it into a small cloth bag.

The little boy who presented the treasure ran away happily, and soon got into the mine again, intending to find some more beautiful stones for the knight sister.

Although the mining area in Cherbourg has been exhausted, some ore residues can still be found, so Dulcinea organized a treasure hunt for the children to prevent them from causing trouble to the busy adults. The cleaned mines are also more beautiful. Safety.

Dulcinea comforted Xiao Xuehua, who was used as a slide by the children, stretched and turned around, and found Qi Youfeng sitting alone on a boulder.

Qi Youfeng seemed to have a repulsive magnetic field with him. Whether it was the innocent and lively children, the honest and diligent adults, or the guards and the respected Mayor Fern, they all consciously designated his location as Forbidden areas, resolutely do not enter within five meters of his body.

When they organized the evacuation of residents on the outskirts of Cherbourg, they naturally encountered many difficulties, especially when the miners who caused trouble, the guards who calmed down the chaos, and the civilians who defended themselves all became a mess.

After trying various methods such as three-party mediation, shouting out loud, and shouting at the top of his lungs, Qi Youfeng impatiently adopted the most effective method:

kill.

After chopping off more than a dozen heads like melons and vegetables, someone finally listened to them.

After that, all the voices of doubt, complaint, and resentment were neatly cut off by this person. No. 37 stepped forward to persuade fellow miners to help, and together they helped everyone take refuge in the old mine, and finally saved some innocent dwarves.

Later, Fern made a sudden appearance, and some harsh protests were frightened away by this guy, which made Dulcinea wonder if this guy was in the habit of beheading.

It is precisely because of the ruthlessness of this man that he is now in this situation where he is feared like an evil ghost.

However, Dulcinea estimated that this guy should be happy to be quiet, so that he can concentrate on waiting for his beauty to come back.

Every year, he said that he was loyal to others when he was entrusted by others.

After seeing Qi Youfeng and others safe and sound, she quickly left alone. She stayed away for five or six days, and she didn't know where she went to play.

Dulcinea didn't know where Nian Nian had gone, but Qi Youfeng did.

Nian Nian would not hide anything from him. I was afraid that he would be worried and impatient with the waiting, so I even left a topic for his entertainment.

Qi Youfeng looked at the three stones placed on the ground in front of him and fiddled with them with his fingers, calculating his return journey for every year.

The homework problems have been solved, and it’s time to come back every year.

The three stones left behind every year represent the three parties on the departed Cherbourg—which may now be called Cherbourg:

Ruby Grand Duke, the actual controller of Ser Island;

Ruby Grand Duchess, backed by the Dwarf King, her three daughters were killed by her husband, and she still has a young son left;

Paiso's mercenary group will soon become Se Island's permanent force.

The question every year is, how many pairs of cooperation can these three parties form, and how many pairs of enemies can they form.

Qi Youfeng once heard it mentioned every year that she wanted to speed up the split of the dwarf kingdom's camp. After being persuaded by her, flying to Se Island in the human territory was the first and final step in starting the dwarf's war of aggression. A crucial step.

It just so happened that the Dwarf King was also willing to start a war, and the bridge built by the Ruby Grand Duchess became a strong bond of interest.

But, what's going on with Paiso's gang?If they say that they voluntarily stayed as vanguards and airborne troops, then the Ruby Grand Duke and his family really have no grudges?

Qi Youfeng thought about it and finally found the standard answer to Niannian's question.

At that time, in the auditorium of Ruby Palace, Nian Nian really stood by and watched what happened to the three daughters.

The Grand Duchess Ruby's temperament exceeded her expectations. She may have been too anxious to notice it at the time, but later she had a lot of time for the mother to carefully recall every detail of that time.

It was hard to say whether Grand Duchess Ruby would hate her and cause trouble for her.

And Nian Nian doesn't know how deep the relationship between them is as a couple. It's impossible to predict whether the two will resolve their differences and work hand in hand to run Se Island airtight.

Therefore, Nian Nian made some small moves to temporarily block the resurrection rules of Se Island, leaving Paiso and others with no way to retreat. Through Tristan, he also revealed the exhaustion of dwarf resources and the war of aggression, which indeed caused Pai Suo's anger. Suo's interest made him volunteer to take a share of the pie.

Tristan also told him that the flying Se Island can only be controlled by the Ruby family, and the Ruby Grand Duke's only child is still young.

Will Paiso do anything to that child?Will the Grand Duchess resent her husband for accepting the surrender of a mercenary?Would the Ruby Grand Guild trust these mercenaries?Will Russo's craftsmanship, Paiso's mind, and the players' contacts bring any changes to the war?

These three parties will become a tangled thread that can be combined and split in many interesting ways, bringing more interesting unknowns.

Qi Youfeng had to admit that Nian Nian was quite capable of causing trouble, but she didn't care about the consequences of her playfulness, let alone helping to end it during the curtain call.

Most people make plans to gain control, and Nian Nian's plan is to keep things out of anyone's control, including herself.

Speaking of which, it’s time for this girl to arrive, right?

Qi Youfeng held the three stones in his hand, raised his head, and just caught the figure flying unsteadily into the crowd. He couldn't help but smile softly, stood up and jumped off the boulder to see what was going to be performed today. play.

When Nian put the dying dwarf on his back on the ground, a sharp exclamation broke out from Fern's mouth, like a castrated mouse:

"His Royal Highness!"

Is this young man wearing a purple satin robe and a jeweled crown their crown prince? ?

But......

Everyone looked at the arrow stuck in His Highness the Crown Prince's chest, and at his breathing that was so weak that it almost disappeared, and lowered their heads silently.

"I went to the Royal Capital to deliver a message. When I came back, I found him unconscious outside the gate of the Royal Capital. It seemed that someone was still searching for him, so I brought him back."

Nian Nian sighed and looked at Fern:

"Do you still have the medicine that the little girl gave you when you were in Stein?"
