Didn't Anastasia just arrive in Aurora City not long ago?
No, now is not the time to dwell on the past. Fia shook her head. Claire told herself last night that she opened a medical clinic, and it would be more appropriate to ask Anastasia about the location of the medical clinic.
After throwing such a question to Anastasia, Fia quickly got the answer.
The hospital is not far from the street.
Although it is very close to the mansion, the most dangerous place is the safest place, so it is necessary to try.In case of success, it is definitely better than staying in a slum where there are always back arrows.
"Do you really want to trust someone you just met? Your Highness, our time is running out, and the guards will be back anytime."
"Always try if you have a chance, it's just a soldier's level, I will solve it!"
Lowering the brim of her hat, Fia took a step forward and went straight to the position Anastasia described.
However, just as Fiya was about to step out of the gate, she stopped suddenly.
There is one thing waiting for me.
The slave trader has committed a felony by taking in the elf princess, and it is impossible for him to come back.Then, I will do my best to help the slaves here.
— let them out.
Even if he is released, he cannot restore his status as a free person, and it is better than starving to death in a cage.
Turning around to face the courtyard, Fia set the flight trajectory of the fireball in her mind, and controlled the fireball to the point where it just exploded the chain without accidentally injuring the slave.
The shackles have been opened, it is up to them whether to go or stay.
"Anastasia, let's go."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Chapter 24 Morning in Aurora City
Two girls in gray cloaks were walking on the street with their heads bowed.
Due to the loud noise on the eve of dawn and the purple crescent moon covering the sky, most of the residents of Aurora City woke up from their deep sleep. what.
And this happened to give Fia and Anastasia a chance.People blocked the street, hindering the movement of the guards, and at the same time providing cover for themselves. The two could easily shuttle between the crowd without worrying about being stopped at any time.
"Exactly the same as in the Middle Ages."
There was no escape atmosphere at all, and Fia quietly observed the people on the street.
Although it had been several days since she came to the different world, this was the first time she observed the residents of the city up close.
Most people in the city only wear shorts and shorts in summer, and their clothes are relatively dirty. Of course, patches are also common things. Their skin is rough. At first glance, they are often engaged in heavy physical labor. The image of a medieval farmer is only a headscarf— — People in this world don't have the habit of wearing headscarves.
In addition, each family has quite a lot of children, and each family has at least three children. Fia even saw a family with as many as nine children gathered around a pair of parents.
Polygamy is also common in this world, but only for those well-dressed men.There are often two or three wives and concubines in dresses and long skirts standing beside them, and the children's clothes are also neat and decent, instead of just wearing a piece of cloth around their bodies as clothes like ordinary children.
It is worth mentioning that the gap between rich and poor is especially reflected in these children.Children from rich families have ruddy complexions and can enjoy bread while standing with their parents on the street, while children from ordinary families are thin and small, and can only watch the children from rich families enjoy clean bread.
As for the city itself, the streets are very spacious and can accommodate three horse-drawn carriages in parallel. Some hawkers who are preparing their stalls can also be seen on the side of the road. Occasionally, there are villagers from surrounding villages carrying crops and prey on the street.The reason why Fia could tell that they were villagers was because the villagers were different from the residents in the city in terms of dress and temperament.
What is certain is that if there hadn't been the explosion just now, in another hour, this place would have turned into a lively street filled with the sound of hawkers and carriages.
"middle Ages?"
Perhaps because there were no guards on the street, Anastasia was not as nervous as she was at the beginning. She slowed down and observed the residents of Aurora City on the street just like Fia.
"Well. It's a time period in history. In the future, knights in armor will be replaced by gunpowder and guns."
"Gunpowder? Guns?"
Anastasia's bright blue eyes revealed puzzlement.
Isn't there even black powder and guns in this world?No, since the world is based on magic, ordinary black powder and guns should be as weak as toys in people's eyes. After all, even I, who just arrived in another world, can throw magic with bare hands that is as powerful as a nuclear explosion. , black powder and guns are inconspicuous, it is simply normal.
Fia couldn't help but think of the gray owl she met when she first entered the forest. With those wind blades covering the sky and the sun, it's hard to imagine that people would be interested in guns that have strict manufacturing requirements and are also dirty.
This is the so-called difference in the technology tree.Not an uncommon sight.
Fia has also seen civilizations that point to interstellar navigation technology, but are in the middle ages on other technology levels.
When the number of civilizations reaches a certain level, it is not surprising that any strange things appear.
Fia further explained to Anastasia.
"A gun is a tubular weapon that fires a bullet at a great distance—shoots an arrow that kills someone with a single blow."
"Isn't it more convenient to use crossbows and bows directly?"
"Although this is the case. Bows and arrows require strength from the user, and the lethality, range, and rate of fire of bows and arrows are also very limited. Guns far exceed them in terms of efficiency. Whether it is killing efficiency, or learning and mastering the use of skills s efficiency."
To form a team of archers, one needs to select good players from countless soldiers, strength and character are indispensable.And after selecting people, they have to invest a lot of time and money in long-term training.As long as guns go through short-term acquired training, even if the user is a child, they can still cause damage to adults.
Anastasia lowered her head in thought.
"It's tubular, shoots something like an arrow, and has a high killing efficiency. Could it be that His Highness refers to a fire rod or a lightning rod? But they are magic staffs."
"Well, if I get a chance, I'll let Anastasia see it."
On the contrary, I don't know what the fire staff and thunder staff that Anastasia mentioned are, but judging from the names, they must be very magical props.
The conversation fell silent.
Fia quietly glanced at Anastasia who was walking beside her, protecting herself inside.Due to the recent battle, Anastasia's expression was slightly tired under the cover of a few strands of blond hair.Although Anastasia didn't say it, she could sense from Anastasia's silence all the way that Anastasia was feeling guilty and blaming herself.
The reason, of course, was that she was inappropriate in command.It was not judged that the news that the royal family was imprisoned in Aurora City was false information deliberately released by the Holy Kingdom, and then let herself, an elf princess, fall into a trap.
If I stood in Anastasia's position, I would also blame myself for it and feel ashamed to face the elf princess. Besides, Anastasia has done her best. This is a fact that is obvious to all, so Fia did not blame Anastasia Ya thought.
Let me say something to ease the awkward atmosphere.
Fia looked away, pretending not to see the slump on Anastasia's face.
"Should this knowledge not belong to the memory of the elf princess?"
"Ah... yes. This subordinate has never heard these claims. If this weapon called a gun is really as powerful as your highness said, maybe the extra memory on your body will be beneficial to us instead of harmful."
Even so, Anastasia did not feel that it was against her.
Fia couldn't help sighing at Anastasia's ability to accept. Under normal circumstances, Anastasia should have doubted her identity at this time.Of course, this is just Fia's secret complaint, and it has no other meaning. After last night, she no longer has to worry about her identity. She is the elf princess, and the elf princess is her.
After a moment of silence, Anastasia gritted her teeth as if she felt it was difficult to speak, and the shame appeared on her always firm face, so that she didn't dare to look at Fia.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness. If I could have thought more carefully, you have now left Aurora City safely."
"Anastasia, I never meant to blame you. No one can guarantee that they will not make mistakes, not to mention that we are in the enemy's camp, and it is already difficult for Anastasia to maintain her composure."
Fia's tolerance made Anastasia's cheeks blush, but this blush was by no means ambiguous, but extremely strong guilt, and this guilt even made Anastasia's tone intense.
"However, my subordinates made more than one mistake, and made mistakes twice in the same battle. First, they failed to protect you under the unsinkable moon, and now they exposed you to danger for the sake of the royal family whose names they don't even know! I Face you without face, am I really qualified to stay by your side?"
At the end of the conversation, it was full of doubts, but the object of the doubts was not Fia, but Anastasia herself.
Fia couldn't help but startled.
Ahh... this is troublesome.
Is it a reversal of positions?
It was Anastasia who comforted herself last night, and now, it was her turn to comfort Anastasia.
Fia couldn't help smiling wryly.
Chapter 25 Fia's "Future Plan"
Things are unpredictable.
Fia is not good at comforting others. To be precise, Fia has never comforted others.Although she has seen countless similar examples and knew that she should say some comforting words at this time, such as "it doesn't matter", "this is something that can't be helped", "no one can expect that it is a trap", etc., but she It's hard to put those words into words.
There are both hard to say in it, and I think I just repeated what others said, and my feelings are only on the surface, and I am not sincere in reality—no, maybe I am not frank enough.
If it was before, I would probably pretend that I didn't see it and wait for Anastasia to recover slowly.
Fia's breath stopped for a moment.
No.
Now is different from the past, I have a chance to start my life again, since I want to start again because I am not satisfied with the gloomy past, then I should make a different choice now, only in this way, I will be worthy of God Arranged in such a happy environment as the elf princess.Therefore, even if you feel uncomfortable opening your mouth, you should bravely take a step forward.
Just as Anastasia chose to hug herself tightly when dealing with her indecision, she also had to give Anastasia a positive response.
Quietly and carefully, Fia took Anastasia's hand.
Different from the strong and gentle touch when they first met, Anastasia's fists were clenched now, and the huge force gathered made her arms tremble uncontrollably.
Anger, regret, self-blame.
All kinds of chaotic emotions filled the palm of my hand.
But even so, Fia still held Anastasia with the slender and weak hand of the elf princess.
Honestly, it's shameful enough.
Taking the initiative to hold a woman's hand, Fiya never thought about it before.It may be inappropriate, but words like "sexual harassment" still flashed in my mind uncontrollably. If I wasn't an elf princess, I would have been slapped into the wall next to me by now.
Because of her shame, Fia only dared to hold Anastasia lightly, to the extent that Anastasia could easily shake it off as long as she exerted a little force.
But Anastasia didn't break free, but her shoulders trembled very obviously, and the anger and guilt in those blue eyes faded away like a tide, replaced by intense disbelief.
"Dofelia..."
Changed back to calling myself by my full name.
Seems like it's only called that when it's fairly emotional.
However, Anastasia is indeed very beautiful. Although she is not as beautiful as an elf princess, she is still a beauty worthy of everyone's praise.
It's really embarrassing for me to take the initiative to hold the hand of such a beauty.
Wait, now is not the time to think about it.
Anastasia's tense hands are softening, and now is the time to chase after the victory.
Resisting the thought of turning her head away to cover up her shyness, Fiya kept her serious expression as much as possible, opened her red eyes wide, and answered softly.
"I don't blame you, Anastasia. We have nothing to lose, do we?"
"Of course there is a loss! We lost the opportunity to escort you out of the city! I ignored you because of other people!"
As if she was enduring something, Anastasia's lips were tightly pursed, and her eyes were slightly red.
Extraordinarily stubborn...
Fia could understand Anastasia's mood, and knew that this was not a conflict that could be resolved with just a few words, but if she didn't do everything she could do when she could, she would definitely regret it in the future.Like Anastasia now, blaming herself for why she wasn't doing her best.
Only use that trick.
Fia sighed inwardly.
Although he didn't want to lie to Anastasia, the more important thing now was to prevent Anastasia from falling into the vortex of self-blame.
Quickly switching to an expressionless look, Fiya raised her head pretending to be mysterious, her gaze was directed at the unsinkable moon.
"Anastasia, this is just the beginning."
Since Anastasia still hadn't recovered, Fia had no choice but to continue to add.
"Actually, when you were discussing with other people in the room last night, I was outside the door and overheard your conversation. Since then, I have doubted the authenticity of the elf royal family being imprisoned in Aurora City. If Aurora City is really imprisoning the elf royal family, they will undoubtedly keep it strictly confidential, and it is not something we can inquire after we have just arrived in Aurora City for a few days."
Hearing this, Anastasia raised her drooping head, doubts gradually appearing in her expression.
"Then you..."
"Anastasia wanted to say why I didn't point it out right then and there?"
Anastasia nodded slightly, affirming what Fia said.
Hooked.
Fiya couldn't help puffing out her chest slightly proudly, but in order not to show her secrets, she quickly hid this pride and changed to an expression of "everything is under control".
"I have two considerations. One is that I can't be sure that this is fake news. If Aurora City really detains the royal family, then we can't just sit idly by. And the second is that even if this news is false, we I can’t leave Aurora City for some reason, and there is another thing left to me—the unsinkable moon.”
"Although I have lost my memory now and don't know what the Unsinkable Moon is, Anastasia has already told me that the Unsinkable Moon is the treasure of the Holy Kingdom of Milkandis, and it is usually placed on them The capital of the city is used to protect the pope. In order to deal with me before, they specially moved out the treasure of the town."
