"Ugh..."
With an indescribable scream, Estier thought for a moment, and finally gave up wearing underwear, and directly put on Anastasia's white jacket and elf-style green dress.Fortunately, the long skirt is loose enough to not highlight things that shouldn't be highlighted.
However, for Fia who knew that Estelle was not wearing underwear, the picture was a bit too exciting.I don't know where to put my gaze, as if staying for half a second longer is a great disrespect - of course, only Fia knows this, Estier, who is the person involved, has long been deeply embarrassed.The customs of vampires in the Principality of Bart are close to those of humans. Not wearing underwear is against the rules of ladies, and it is an indecent behavior.
The shyness with flushed cheeks and the unwillingness to step out of the carriage made Fiya feast her eyes, and she was a little cute.
It all ended with Anastasia's return trip.
Under the chest wrap provided by Anastasia, Estier quickly returned to her usual appearance.The reason why Anastasia came back so slowly was because it took some time to find Knowlton.At that time, Knowlton was leading people to check the drops of life dew around the refuge, and when Anastasia told about Estier's stabbing, Knowlton quickly ordered someone to clean up the blood in Estier's room, The series of operations took a lot of time.
It is worth mentioning that Anastasia also noticed Knowlton's suspicion and specially observed Knowlton's performance. As a result, Knowlton was extremely surprised when he heard the news, as if he had no knowledge of Estelle's assassination.In addition, the soldiers around Knowlton have been with Knowlton all the time and can provide Knowlton's alibi, so Knowlton's suspicion was cleared.
Now, outside the carriage, there is a scene of affection between siblings.
Knowlton, who learned of Estier's assassination, beat his chest and stamped his feet, and blamed himself for not sending guards to guard Estier's door. If Estier hadn't emphasized that his injuries had healed, Fia felt that Norton would persuade Estier to Steele left the city, and waited for the soldiers from other territories to arrive before carrying out the work of clearing up chaos—that was tantamount to denying Estier's persistence and hard work so far, and she would definitely quarrel with Estier.
In addition, after knowing that it was Fia who cured Estier's injury, Knowlton sent an extremely earnest gratitude to Fia, and almost knelt down.The sincere gratitude in his eyes made it hard to doubt his acting skills.
Knowlton was sincerely grateful for Estier's narrow escape, and Fia could be sure of that.
Maybe I really suspected wrong.
While responding to Knowlton's gratitude, Fia thought inwardly.
The assassination might indeed be done by the Demon General of Despair. He didn't kill Estier, he was just provoking himself.
If so, it couldn't be a more difficult situation.He could kill the Demon General of Despair countless times, but he didn't have the ability to pull the Demon General of Despair from the void to his front.If the Demon of Despair did not confront him head-on, but sneaked up on the people in the shelter at night, and after he reacted, he immediately went back to the streets covered in chaos, and he would be in a difficult situation of being exhausted.
Thinking about it this way, those near-death people who were living in the ruins and were not entangled by chaos were completely set up by the Demon General of Despair from the very beginning.The dying people who have not died so far are equivalent to hostages. They will contain the latecomers, making it impossible for people to use range magic, and quickly and completely eliminate Chaos.
In this way, Chaos who ambushed the convoy outside the city before was probably also responsible for him.
cunning opponent.
For ordinary people, they can probably only adopt the strategy of sitting on the sidelines and waiting for rabbits, temporarily slowing down the sweeping of chaos, and instead waiting for the demon of despair to send him to the door.Although it is stupid, there is no other way.
It's a pity that the Devil of Despair met himself.Although Ouluo City is big, according to the speed of cleaning, at most three days, the entire city including the chaos in the sewers will be wiped out.If he appeared in a hurry because he was in a hurry, he could use flying magic to rush there immediately and drag him out.
The only thing people don't understand in the whole incident is the purpose of the Demon General of Despair.
If his purpose is to create destruction, then more than 20 people living in Ouluo City have died under his destruction. He has achieved his goal. According to the thinking of normal people, there are only less than 1000 people left. People, should not be able to raise his interest.
However, he still stayed in the castle for several days. Even if he wanted to take the Siren Mirror, he didn't need so much time at all. The reason for staying in Oro City was hard to figure out.The only explanation is that he has other plans and is waiting for something - the premise is that the Demon General of Despair is really in the city of Ouluo.
Let the facts verify your guess.Is it the Demon General of Despair, or something else.
After thinking for a while, Fia felt her dress being pulled by Liti, who pointed to Knowlton who was talking to Estelle not far away.
"what happened?"
"This Knowlton always gives me an uncomfortable feeling... Sister, be careful."
Liti's rosy eyes showed anxiety.
Fia could not help but tilt her head.
"Uncomfortable? What exactly do you mean?"
"All of it. I feel uncomfortable whenever I see him. I've always been a good judge of people. This guy must have a crooked mind."
While speaking, Liti also stood behind Fia, as if she was afraid of Knowlton.
"It's because His Highness Liti is not good at talking to men," Anastasia who was standing on the other side of Fia took up the topic, "His Highness Liti has been afraid of men since she was a child, regardless of elves or humans. My subordinates have already investigated, The assassin who broke into Miss Estier's room was someone else, and Knowlton is not a suspect."
"It's not because I hate men, it's because I feel terrible. I always feel that he has something in his heart to hide from everyone."
Liti stubbornly raised her head to correct.
Although due to factors such as sensitivity, babies are indeed more sensitive to the outside world than adults, but Liti is no longer a baby, and Fia couldn't help but patted Liti's head with a wry smile.
"I see, I will observe him carefully in the future. Liti and Anastasia will sleep in the carriage tonight, and I will use magic to cool down. Also, for safety's sake, Estier will also sleep here."
"What about my sister?"
"Of course I'm here too, but I'll take turns keeping watch with Anastasia. It's unclear who the assassin is, so we can't let our guard down."
"Then I'm going to sleep in the middle!"
middle?
Fiya was taken aback for a moment before reacting.
What Liti meant was to separate herself from Estier.
Instead, he helped himself.
Unlike the young and barren Liti, Estier has already grown into a beauty. If she sleeps next to Estier, she will definitely not be able to sleep all night.And there are outsiders around, Liti will also put on a nightdress that covers her whole body, making people feel relaxed.
When Fia agreed to Leti with a smile, the conversation between Estier and Knowlton finally came to an end. The two came to Fia's side, and Estier apologized.
"Sorry, Fia, to keep you waiting."
"It doesn't matter to me. It's just that it's almost twelve o'clock at night, shouldn't it be time to go to bed?"
While speaking, Fia winked at Estier, and the people lying on the side of the road not far away were looking at the carriage.
Estelle shook her head with a wry smile.
"Fiya, go to bed first. Night is the time when vampires are most focused, and I want to finish what I need to do at night. Although I don't want to admit it, the reality is that the work that was originally done by my father needs me to take over. Xiang His Majesty the King asks for help, raises the supplies needed to restore the city, and appoints and removes personnel, all of which can only be done by me."
Estil paused, glanced at the soldiers around her, and deliberately lowered her voice.
"And there's that mysterious assassin who appears and disappears. There are too many things to do, and I can't sleep or eat if I'm idle."
"I am here to ensure the safety of my sis. I thought that there would be no danger when I arrived at the refuge. It was my carelessness. As my assistant, I have failed my duty. Please give me another chance, I will stay on guard all night. In front of the door of my lord, don't let any suspicious person go."
Knowlton bowed his head guiltily.
"No, I won't go back. I will live here before the chaos disappears." Estier pointed to the carriage.
Knowlton tried to say something, but Estelle spoke earnestly before Knowlton could speak.
"No one can guarantee that the assassin will only find me, and the next target may be you. So from now on, Norton, you can't act alone. You must bring more than five guards by your side at any time. Under official circumstances, try not to leave my sight. Your father and sister Noreen were killed, you are my only relative, and I cannot lose you again."
"Sister Noreen..."
Mentioning Noreen, Knowlton's expression darkened, then he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly, intense hatred emerged from his eyes.
Estelle patted Knowlton's shoulder lightly, her bloody eyes also showing strong hatred and anger.
"I will definitely let them pay off this blood debt of extermination. No matter who caused the disaster that day, whether it was the Darkborn or Chaos, I will definitely kill him with my own hands. I swear!"
As if responding to Estier, the dark red pattern on the back of Estier's right hand flashed for a moment, which was proof of the establishment of the blood contract.
The hatred of extermination should be repaid with blood, the reason is simple and easy to understand.
Fiya didn't bother the two who were immersed in the atmosphere of hatred. In today's time when the territory is in ruins, they need hatred as strength.
After the air was quiet for a while, Estier took two steps back and explained with a serious expression.
"Go and gather the people in the refuge together. They are forbidden to act alone. Even if they sleep, they must be in the designated position. We don't know the identity of the assassin, and we must minimize the number of loopholes."
"Okay." Knowlton, who can be called a handsome man, had firmness in his eyes, "What about my sister?"
"I'm here to deal with business. Fia and Anastasia can guarantee my safety and have the tables and chairs brought over."
"I know, let's do it now."
After agreeing to Estier, Knowlton walked to Fia who was beside him. The determination on his delicate face turned into gratitude. He bent down and bowed deeply to Fia.
"Thank you, Your Highness the Eldest Princess, for your rescue. Today's kindness will be repaid a hundred times in the future."
"You have already thanked me once, so hurry up and gather everyone together as your sister said, and be careful not to leak the news of Estier's assassination."
"Keep it in mind."
Taking a deep look at Fia, Knowlton turned around and led the nearby soldiers away.
Just in case, Fia scanned Knowlton's back with "Wind of Investigation".Although the magic power reaction on his body has reached the third level, not the second level as Estier said, it is still not enough power to look at.Anastasia had obtained Knowlton's alibi, so she had no reason to openly doubt Knowlton any more. Liti felt that he was disgusting, but that was just a feeling, not actual evidence.
Of course, we still have to stay vigilant in the future and observe Knowlton's whereabouts.
Afterwards, let's take advantage of the opportunity of the night watch to discuss the future countermeasures with Estelle.
Fia thought to herself.
There are many things she lacks understanding.For example, what kind of person is Noreen in the population, the definition of blood pact for completing revenge, and what happened in the castle before the magic disaster happened, and what people were doing at that time.
The Demon General of Despair kept silent about the person who caused the disaster. There must be something worth studying in it, maybe as long as he understands these things, everything will be solved easily.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Fia urged the yawning Liti to go back to the carriage to sleep. After explaining a few words to Estier and Anastasia, she followed her back to the carriage.
Anastasia kept the first half of the night, and Fia the second.
For those things that you don't understand, just wait until you wake up and refresh yourself.
Chapter 24 Past events
"call."
Exhaling lightly, Fia opened her eyes.
Time to switch shifts with Anastasia.
For people who live in peacetime, they only rest in the first half of the night. At this time, it should be difficult to open their eyes. They must be notified by outsiders before they can wake up from a deep sleep, but Fia is not like this.After coming to the World Tree Continent, Fiya discovered that her body has many special abilities that normal humans/elves should not have.
For example, as shown now, if you decide what time you want to get up before going to bed, Fiya will wake up on her own when the time comes, and her control of the time is extremely precise.In addition, although lack of sleep will still make Fia lack of energy and distraction, but compared to the super high basic value of the body, even if Fia is not energetic and tired, her reaction speed and concentration are also in the normal range. Above, I just feel very uncomfortable, so I have to keep sleeping.
Fia glanced at Liti who was lying quietly next to her. Because Estelle would enter the carriage at any time, Liti was wearing her pajamas, and her sleeping position maintained a peaceful princess appearance.The hands folded on the chest, the small and exquisite nose tip, the cherry-colored lips, and the gentle breathing, just looking at Liti now, anyone will come to the conclusion of "cute".
It would be even cuter if I could get rid of the bad habit of harassing my sister from time to time.
Thinking of this, Fia sighed softly, picked up the towel that was put aside and wiped the sweat from Liti's forehead, then got up and put on the dress.
It is 03:30 in the morning.
The rotation of this world (if there is one) takes longer than the earth, but it still maintains a 24-hour clock, which saves Fia the trouble of conversion.Of course, the rotation period is longer, but the 24-hour system is still used, which means that one hour of the world tree continent is longer than one hour of the earth. If calculated according to one hour in the earth, the day of the world tree continent is actually 26 hours to 27 hours. between hours.
After quickly putting on the knee-length black dress, Fia put on the dress belt and came outside the carriage.
Anastasia was sitting next to the lamp with her sword in her arms, and beside her was Estil, who was busy with her work. The two were talking.Although it is an open-air office and the light is dim, the vampire's vision is better at night than during the day, and the environment cannot affect Estier's writing.As for the hot temperature, as Fia said, she can use magic to cool down.
With the carriage as the center, a wall of ice with a thickness of one meter and a height of more than five meters is covering the carriage. This is the ice dug out by Fia after using "Ice Bomb" to create a solid ice ball and then using "Mind Control". Room.It took a little time to make, but it's worth it.Cooling down is one aspect, Estier doesn't have to worry about being disturbed, and it's also another aspect.
Not noticing Fiya's approach behind her, Estier stopped writing and looked at Anastasia who was sitting on the stone pier beside her, her slightly raised brows showed that she was thinking.
"What Anastasia means is that the reason why the Demon General of Despair is called 'Despair' is because of his bad taste?"
"That's right. The title of the Seven Demon Generals is based on their hobbies. Just like the Greed Demon Generals always appear in places with a lot of wealth and rare treasures, the Despair Demon Generals also take pleasure in people's despair. That's what I said , In fact, the same, once they show up, it will inevitably bring disaster, whether it is despair or greed, the ending is not different."
Anastasia glanced at the fire, her expression revealing her thoughts.
"The Devil of Despair appears here because he wants to see people struggling in despair. From my personal point of view, the reason why the more than 500 people in the refuge are alive is that the Devil of Despair deliberately kept his hand and appreciated the people's help. The appearance of hunger fighting each other. Miss Estier also saw the appearance of the dew of life splashing directly on Chaos in the morning. Without the aid of weapons, the dew of life would not cause harm to Chaos. The dew of life made Chaos fearful , is just the self-consolation of the survivors, in fact, the Demon General of Despair is manipulating the chaos and preventing the chaos from crossing the boundary."
"Chaos hasn't invaded the refuge so far, that is to say, the Demon General of Despair is still alive?"
Frowning deeper, Estier put down her pen and was about to get up.
Anastasia shook her head slightly.
"I don't know either. Perhaps the order given by the Demon General of Despair to Chaos is 'Do not cross the boundary line'. In this way, even if the Demon General of Despair dies, the order still exists. But what I just said is only based on the 'Devil General of Despair' The guesses made in the name cannot be regarded as conclusive. Your Highness can kill three Desperate Demon Generals alone. As long as the Despair Demon Generals are smarter, there is no reason to stay in Ouluo City. Your Highness, you are awake."
At the end of the conversation, Anastasia noticed that Fia was approaching, and quickly stood up and bowed to salute.The loose golden hair ran down the sharp ears, and the softness that only belonged to women was faintly visible under the skirt. If she put on a dress, no one would be able to tell that Anastasia was a warrior.
She is clearly her older sister, but she always maintains the attitude of a subordinate.
If possible, I still like Anastasia who has no sense of distance.
Fiya murmured in her heart, and answered with a smile.
"It's shift time, Anastasia, go to bed."
"Your Highness still has to fight against chaos, so it's better to leave the vigil to your subordinates."
"Then what about Anastasia during the day? When I go to clean up the chaos, Anastasia will rely on Anastasia to ensure the safety of Liti and Estier in the shelter, and you must also ensure the rest. Didn't we agree to rotate the vigil?" , Now give it to me, this is an order."
"……Yes."
Although she wanted to justify something, Anastasia had no choice but to give up her justification after hearing the word order. To Anastasia, Fia's order seemed to be the supreme thing.
After bowing to Fia and Estelle, Anastasia returned to the carriage.Inside the flickering igloo, there is only the crackling of charcoal burning.
Lifting both sides of the skirt, Fia sat on the stone pier that Anastasia was sitting on just now. She looked at Estier, like an old friend, with a relaxed smile on her face.
