Can the reincarnated fairy princess be loved?

The bottomless pitch-black valley, coupled with the whistling wind, would make anyone's legs weak, and there is no doubt that jumping down would shatter their bodies to pieces.

If even this passes, Renee is a reliable person, of course, not to the level of Anastasia.Trust is not something that is built overnight, the length of time you get along is very important.

"Master Thanatos, Lord Irene Sletter, please forgive me."

Under Fia's breathless observation, Renee, who murmured in a low voice, leapt and jumped off the cliff.

Fia immediately followed up with the "flying" magic.

The wind whizzed past, but Renee did not use the "flying" magic, and did not even try to untie the ropes binding her hands and legs, allowing her body to fall freely. This posture did not change until Renee was about to come into close contact with the earth .

It's almost time to trust her.

Regardless of the organization she was talking about, or the name of Thanatos, you can ask clearly.

"Mind manipulation"

Countless hands of space stretched out in an instant, interweaving each other to form an airtight cushion. The cushion did not lift up immediately after catching Renee's falling body, but gradually slowed down along the falling momentum, making Renee stabilized. fall to the ground.

And Fia also appeared at the right time, standing still in front of Renee, first cut the rope that bound Renee with the blade formed by "mind manipulation", and then forcibly fed candy to Renee-this is to explain what happened just now "poison".

Renee, who didn't know what happened, opened her eyes in a daze. She didn't recover until she saw Fia. Although in her perception, she was already dead, the habit she had developed for a long time still made her The first time he saw Fiya, he hurriedly got up from the ground.

"Master Thanatos?"

"That's the end of the punishment."

This tone is really shameful, Fia couldn't help complaining in her heart, I really don't know how the elf princess endured her shame, and used this tone as her usual tone of speech.

"...?"

Although she didn't say a word, Fia could see the puzzled look on Renee's face. She didn't understand why Fia saved her.

Regarding this, Fiya had long thought of an excuse.

"It's a mistake to be eager for quick success, but it's not enough to kill you. Compared with this, I have a more important task for you, which can be regarded as paying off. Go to the lair of the bandits during the day and wipe out the remaining remnants. The two The man in black said before he was knocked out that they still have a leader who hasn’t come yet, and that they will deal with the enemy with a clean sweep.”

"...Thank you Thanatos-sama."

Although she narrowly escaped from the dead, Renee's expression was not relaxed. The other party was only four third ranks, so she captured herself alive. Now she received the task of exterminating the lair, and went there rashly. In the end, she must still be caught. This matter We must take a long-term plan, and at least ask for reinforcements from the organization—even at the moment when manpower is scarce, it is embarrassing to ask for reinforcements, but since it is the order of Lord Thanatos, Lord Irene Sletter should not blame herself... But What Master Thanatos said was "repaying the merits", does this mean that he is actually saying to let himself go alone?

When Renee was struggling, Fiya added something abruptly.

"Be with me."

"what?"

The unexpected answer made Renee's mouth and eyes wide open, her face full of disbelief.

◇

When the sun rises to represent noon, the temperature of the air rises to the point where it makes people unmotivated.

In World Tree Continent, there is common sense that the further south you go, the higher the temperature.Although the Alfred Kingdom is located in the center of the continent, the temperature is extremely hot because the northern region has been covered by desert for a long time, and the water vapor from the inland sea is blocked by the mountains.It was one o'clock in the afternoon, and the temperature on the ground was already close to seventy degrees, and the steaming heat made people blind.

However, in such a harsh environment, one can see a team walking in a row with their hands bound by ropes against the scorching sun.At the front of the team of nearly 30 people was a luxurious and spacious carriage.

Needless to say, the team consisted of captured bandits.According to Fia's original idea, she actually wanted to dig a hole to bury the robbers, so as to save the trouble of dealing with these robbers, after all, they would slow down the progress of the carriage.But for some reason, when Fia said this idea, both Liti and Anastasia showed extremely subtle expressions as if they were looking at a demon, so Fia changed her words and said that she would take the robbers to the next city.

It seemed that even Anastasia could not accept being buried alive.

Claire was right, she seemed to lack the knowledge of life—to be precise, the knowledge of sinful life.This is probably related to the way the Human Alliance dealt with the guilty in the later stage. Although the technology was advanced at that time, it was already in a predicament of lack of resources. In order to save money, the guilty life would be eliminated directly.

"Renee's assessment of the Barony of Keza is 'no value'?"

In the swaying carriage, Anastasia asked.Renee was now driving the carriage, and Anastasia went to the back of the line every once in a while to check if anyone had escaped.

Fia nodded.

"Well. First of all, although the Barony of Keza borders with Hilliwal, it is too far away from the center of Hilliwal. Secondly, the Baronie of Keza has neither mineral deposits nor suitable for growing food. In addition, transportation is inconvenient, and at the same time, it has relations with five countries. On the border, the law and order in the territory is extremely chaotic. Instead of taking the risk of war with the Alfred Kingdom to accept the Barony of Keza, it is better to keep it in the current state where anyone can step on it. This is Renee's opinion."

"Indeed... If there are neither mineral deposits nor suitable for growing food, then it is better to maintain the current state."

Liti also nodded.

Although the Barony of Kesa is called the "Barony", its actual size is comparable to that of a normal earldom. The Holy Kingdom of Sri Lanka, the Principality of Bart in the west, the Kingdom of Alfredge in the southwest, the Cold Moon Alliance in the south, and the Elven Kingdom of Silval in the east are bordered by five countries. In addition, the terrain is long and narrow, and there is no strategic buffer zone. Once attacked, almost It will be captured immediately, so there is no need to develop here.

In fact, not only Renee thinks this way, but even the people of the Alfred Kingdom think that the Barony of Kesa is dispensable, so they only seal it as a baronial territory. In addition, King Yan occupied it decades ago. The large area of ​​land here, the desert, almost blocks the connection between the Alfred Kingdom and the Kesa Barony, and the existence of the Kesa Baron in the Alfred Kingdom is more transparent, and now it has become "the common territory of the five countries ".

For example, when the Holy Nation of Milkandis invaded the Cold Moon Alliance a few years ago, it used the Baron of Keza as a springboard. No matter which country it was, it could come to the Baron of Keza to step on it.

Following Liti's words, Fia added.

"And more importantly, when Renee inquired about information, she discovered that there are traces of the Witch's Hall here, and they seem to have established a stronghold here."

"Witch Hall... If the witch is here, there is no need to accept the Barony of Kesa, we can't get caught up in the fire."

Anastasia sighed.

Because of the "Secret History of the Witch" that she hoped the witch would leave behind, Fiya had a pretty good impression of the witch, but in fact, in the eyes of most people, the witch is a representative of moodiness and great power.There have been tragedies of witches massacring cities in history, so no one wants to live in a city where witches gather.

"Presumably, Baron Kesa knows that his territory is a hot potato. Once he arouses dissatisfaction with the witch, his head will move. That's why he proposed to us, hoping to give us the territory and borrowing the power of our elves." Eliminate the witch with your own hands. Among the five countries bordering the Baron of Kesa, only we elves have the ability to deal with the witch, and humans are still as cunning as ever."

"But now that the leylines of the Barony of Kesa have been restored, it may become a territory with development value in the future. It should be let Renee—no, it would be better for someone who is replaced by my sister to investigate more. Having said that, the sister's body Clothes... Isn't it the one I gave Renee yesterday? Why did it go back to my sister?"

Liti's suspicious gaze made Fia's body stiff.

What Liti said is correct, the black dress that Fia is wearing now is indeed the dress that Fia gave Renee to wear yesterday.It was exactly what Renee hoped for this dress to be in Fia's hands.According to Renee, if she took this dress, she would be skinned alive by a woman named Erin Sletter when she went back, because Renee's face was full of fear when she spoke, and she begged Fia to put the clothes back again and again. Take it back, so the clothes are back in Fia's hands.

"This is..."

Fia averted her eyes from Liti.

It has been confirmed that Renee is a dark clue arranged by the elf princess. Although all the people in the carriage are her own people, Fiya still decides not to expose Renee.One is that considering that the elf princess does not speak out, there must be her reasons. It is safer to follow the elf princess’s approach when she does not know much about the current situation. Ya was sad, feeling that she was left out by the elf princess.

"It's just a dress similar to that one, and Liti observed it too carefully."

"Hmph, of course I observed carefully."

Liti puffed out her chest proudly, and did not doubt Fia's answer, which made Fia relieved, and she turned to Anastasia who was frowning, as if thinking about something.

"Does Anastasia know who Irene Slate is?"

"Love, Miss Eileen Slater? Has Your Highness thought of her?"

Anastasia's voice trembled, and her nimble blue eyes were full of uncertainty.

"No, I just learned of this name by accident, so I want to ask who it is."

"I found out by chance..."

For some reason, Anastasia let out a look of relief. She straightened her clothes and answered seriously.

"Miss Eileen Slate is the captain of the first team of the Imperial Guard, and the head of the entire Imperial Guard. Both me and Renee are Miss Eileen Slate's subordinates. Miss Eileen Slate originally She is the eldest daughter of the Grand Duke Hull. However, because the brother-in-law of the Grand Duke Hull stood in the wrong team and tried to rebel, the coup failed and implicated the Grand Duke Hull, resulting in the execution of the Grand Duke Hull. exile."

"Miss Eileen Slate is a noble and fair person. When my father and I were exiled, she helped us a lot along the way. Unfortunately, after arriving in the exile, Miss Eileen Slate seems to have encountered something and gradually lost Rational, turned into a lunatic I don't know... But since you went to the exile to find your subordinates and Miss Erin Slate, Miss Erin Slater's spirit gradually recovered, and she soon became the same as before Respectable and greatly enhanced.”

Having said that, Anastasia leaned forward slightly, with hesitation and thought on her normally serious face.

"To this day, my subordinates don't know what you said to Miss Irene Slate. Neither you nor Miss Irene Slate are willing to tell my subordinates the answer. Your Highness said just now that I overheard Eileen Slate Miss's name, did you hear it from Renee?"

"Hmm... that's it."

After confirming that Renee was a trustworthy person last night, Fia made insinuations (for example, pretending to be calm and asking "How is Erin Slate?", "How are the people under him?" and other questions) Got a lot of useful information from Renee.

First of all, there is indeed an organization hidden in the dark under the Elf Princess. The number of people directly under this organization is very small, ranging from a dozen to dozens of people, but these dozens of people directly or indirectly control more people.Some use family ties as ties, while others use interests to develop offline.The identities of these dozens of people are kept absolutely confidential. Except for Erinslet and Fiya, no one knows exactly how many people are in the organization and who they are.

Take Renee as an example. Renee currently knows that there are only four people belonging to the organization. She, Fia, Erin Sletter, and the third daughter of Earl Reinhardt's family who excavated her in the past, and others No one knows anything and is not allowed to inquire.

The second is the purpose of this organization.

The fundamental purpose of this organization is not to fight against the Darkborn and Chaos as Renee said last night. To be precise, this is an organization centered on Dophelia, like a dead warrior trained by nobles. Dofilia, they will do whatever the Elf Princess tells them to do.

And fighting against the Darkborn and Chaos is just the task to be performed at the moment.According to what Renee learned from Erin Slate, there are only two main tasks for everyone at the moment. One is to lie dormant in the dark, waiting for the moment when the elf princess becomes the king, and the other is to search for as many dark descendants as possible. information.

As for why she wanted to search for news about the Darkin, all Renee knew was that "the gods are dead", that the Darkin and Chaos are about to unite, and that the apocalypse will come, and nothing else.The number of formal meetings between Renee and the elf princess is rare. In most cases, they can only report the news to Erin Sletter, who then reports to Fia.Therefore, Renee does not know more specific news.

Finally, why Renee was convinced by Fia, Renee's answer was that Fia was the benefactor who saved her from the trough of life. According to what Renee said, most of the people in the organization suffer from the dark descendant disease.If Fia hadn't instructed the three daughters of Earl Reinhardt's family to find Renee, Renee would have faced the tragic end of being eliminated by the family.

Only Fia can control the onset of dark blood disease on them, and tell them how to use those lines to strengthen themselves.

Of course, in addition to being controlled by the dark blood disease, what is more important is that everyone in the organization has seen Fia's wisdom and prophetic foresight, and is impressed by Fia's personal charm.Although the existence named Thanatos doesn't like to talk, he is omnipotent. Coupled with Erin Sletter's iron-fisted rule, no one can escape from Thanatos' grasp.

At first, Fia thought that the organization Renee mentioned was just a gathering of paranoid patients, but after hearing the complete description, Fia couldn't help feeling that she underestimated the elf princess.

For the time being, the eyeliner placed by the elf princess is all over all the important nobles in Shilivari, and every move of these nobles is under the control of the elf princess.At the same time, the action of the eyeliner is consciously controlled by the elf princess, who has been secretly planning something—only when she goes back and asks Irene Sletter can she know that Renee has no authority to know about it.

The elf princess buried a big hole for herself, and Erin Slate sounds like an extremely troublesome person. After returning to the elf country, she will inevitably have some troubles.

Hopefully there will be a peaceful transition, or a woman who is easy to talk to... It would be great if she could listen to everything by herself like Renee.Fiya couldn't help sighing in her heart, she just wanted to be with Claire, how could she get into so many troubles without authorization.

As for the extermination of the bandits that Fiya told Renee last night, due to time constraints, Fiya did not resolve it that night, and she planned to wait until tonight.

"Although that guy is annoying, he still understands the status."

Liti's murmur brought Fia back to reality. Liti should be talking about Renee driving the carriage.This morning, Fia ordered Renee to drive the carriage as the elf princess (not Thanatos). Renee just snorted coldly and sat in the driver's seat.

What I want to say is that Renee's cold snort was just to cater to her mission. In fact, Renee was terrified when she said these words. Speak ill of Fia and cut off her head.

Fiya, who already knew the inside story, couldn't help but smile wryly.

"Renee will be separated from us in the next city. Anastasia, where have we been?"

"We have arrived at the largest city in the barony of Kesa. As long as we pass through this city, we will be able to see the border of Silval."

"I can already see the brilliance of the holy tree~ I feel like seeing my mother."

Holy tree?

Fia followed Liti's words and looked out the window.

At the far end of the sky, a gigantic transparent giant tree that plunges straight into the sky and exudes a faint golden light is standing on the ground.

Even Fia couldn't help feeling kind and warm.

Chapter 11 Witches Meet

Located in the northern border of the Kingdom of Alfredg, the largest and most prosperous city in the Baron of Kesa - Bern City, due to its special geographical location, it borders five countries at the same time, so its domestic trade It is extremely frequent, and in order to protect his own safety, Baron Kesa repaired the whole city like a fortress, enclosing it with tall and thick walls with three layers inside and three layers outside, so it attracted almost the entire Alfred Kingdom People from the north came to live here.

Someone once roughly estimated that the number of people living in Bourne City should be closer to 30, not the [-] that Baron Kesa reported to the kingdom. So no one knows exactly how many people there are. People only know that the city they live in is extremely prosperous, but they don't know anything else.

Such a city sounds very beautiful at first glance, but for the people who really live here, if they don't have money, their life is not as good as that of the orcs of the Cold Moon Alliance in the south.

There are mixed fish and dragons here, fugitives who have committed capital crimes, nobles who have failed in the rebellion, hated undead magic casters, human traffickers, witch groups, and even dark descendants, all gather in this city.Therefore, the order of the city is only maintained at a minimum. If someone accidentally annoys someone on the street during the day, it is not surprising that they will become a corpse that night, and people have already seen it.

It’s not that Baron Keza has never thought of changing the status quo, but his strength is not enough for him to control such a chaotic city. Leaving aside the dark blood and the witch, first of all, the nobles who failed in the rebellion are enough to make Baron Keza dizzy .

Although these nobles are down and out, they still have some family background, especially those nobles of the prince and grand duke level. The guards around them are strong enough to break into Baron Keza's house and take his head away.So Baron Keza can only turn a blind eye and close one eye, as long as everyone can honestly pay him taxes and sell him a face, other things will be fine.

This is a city where countless crimes are gathered, and as long as you have money, you can buy anything.

A gold-plated carriage with the church logo was slowly driving towards the city gate. The people who had lowered their heads on the road looked sideways at the carriage. The traces of the Holy Kingdom of Milkandis are not uncommon in the city of Bern, but swaggering like this Entering, especially the coachman driving the carriage is a female elf, which is considered the first time.

Of course, the people in the carriage didn't know that they had attracted the attention of countless passers-by, and Fia was now asking about the holy tree.

The picture of a giant golden tree towering into the sky is not new to Fia. Long before the shining era, people could build houses with the same towering heights, but appearing in a different world based on magic made Fia Full of curiosity.

"Can people living here not see such a big holy tree?"

Facing Fia's question, Anastasia nodded seriously.

"Yes, only the royal family and elves who are favored by the sacred tree can see the sacred tree at this distance, otherwise, they can only admire the glory of the sacred tree from a hundred kilometers around the royal capital." Speaking of this, Anastasia With a look of joy on his face, "Your Highness can see the sacred tree at the border, which means that His Highness is indeed His Highness, and you are another piece of evidence that you are you."

"Well... But I always feel that the sacred tree is dying."

As Fia said, although the sacred tree she saw was straight, there were only a few golden leaves on the branches extending from the trunk, like a withering plant.

"Withered... This subordinate doesn't know either. It's ashamed to say that this subordinate can't see the sacred tree from this distance."

"The sacred tree was like this when I was born. Although I heard from my father that a long time ago, the sacred tree was full of branches and leaves, and I could see it clearly even in the southern continent. But for some reason, the leaves have become more and more dense recently. The tree branches are shortened a lot. The father and the kings before the father have issued an edict that if someone can investigate what happened on the sacred tree, he will be crowned the prince. But thousands of years have passed, even those who The holy son also returned in vain. But I always feel that if it is my sister, I will definitely be able to figure it out."

"This subordinate shares the same opinion as His Royal Highness Liti. I always feel that if it is His Highness, he will be able to figure out what happened on the holy tree. Let's rest here tonight, and we can step into Hillivar tomorrow. In two weeks, you can reach the capital."

"If I could figure out what happened to the holy tree, I would have figured it out a long time ago..."

From Renee's few words, it can be vaguely guessed that the former elf princess was not stupid than herself.

Putting aside the topic of the sacred tree, Fia leaned back on the carriage and let out a long breath.I am finally going to step into the elf realm. Although there must be many complicated things waiting for me in the capital, but I am more looking forward to it than troublesome.

Do elves live in trees?Since it is a large-scale city, it is obviously not suitable to live in trees like a village.And the sacred tree is so huge, how can the elves climb up it?Ordinary "flying" magic has a limit height. Generally, it cannot continue to rise after reaching 3000 meters in the air. Do you have to rely on human power to climb the holy tree?In terms of physical strength alone, I am afraid that it is difficult for the fourth rank to climb to the top.In the final analysis, how tall the sacred tree is is a problem, and it will never extend beyond the atmosphere and into outer space.

While Fia was brainstorming, the gradually slowing carriage finally stopped, and the conversation between Renee and the guard came from outside.

The general content is that the guards asked what happened to the team following the carriage, and whether they had heard of King Yan.Fei Ya subconsciously opened the curtain and looked out the window, and found that three or four hundred guards with serious expressions gathered in front of the city gate, and the city wall was also covered with large-scale defense equipment. The dark muzzle made people feel trembling.
