Chapter 479: Fooling
Such a tight defense, if it appeared in Scandinavia, but in the Novgorod region of the Rus' steppe, or in the midst of a human settlement, it would be very abrupt, as if a fish tank made of crystal, with a few ordinary small fish in it, and no one else could not help but pay attention to them.
Of course, since their defense was discovered by Alice, it is impossible to play a role, and Alice did not make any other moves, just stared at her, and a portal appeared in the transparent barrier that allowed her to pass through, and when she entered it, the barrier returned to its original state without alarming anyone.
It is very different from what Alice imagined, this seemingly luxurious building, but the decoration is very simple, and it is very similar to the ordinary Novgorod family she entered before, whether it is in terms of furnishings, the structure of the room, or the composition of the house, there is not much difference.
The burning fireplace dispels the winter cold, the floor is covered with a carpet sewn from the fur of newborn lambs, and some strange patterns are painted on it, which looks unusually gorgeous, and the walls made of stone are covered with the pelts of various beasts, white dragons, flying dragons, white bears, mammoths, and winter wolves, showing the great power of the owners here.
Especially the white dragon, although the adult white dragon is also the bottom of all the combat power, but the legend is also a legend after all, and it is not simple to be able to hunt the legend.
After a few glances, Alice noticed a strange place in the house, where some scattered pieces of paper had been placed on the table in the living room, and had been pressed against a few heavy objects to prevent them from being blown away by the wind.
Paper has been around in the world for a long time, but in culturally backward places like the Novgorod region of the Rus' steppe, they are more accustomed to using lambskins to record things, and because most of them do not know the common language, most of them use more figurative pictures to record things.
After carefully observing the papers, and confirming that they were just ordinary papers, and that there were no traps or alarms around them, Alice did not pick them up, but leaned over and lowered her head.
The paper was written in a very obscure way, and it was written exactly what Alice cared about, information about the snowy mountain druids...... Or rather, this is simply a report of an attack, which records the attacks on the Horde in Novgorod in recent months.
The attack on the Novgorod tribes during this time was only suspected of this in Alice's mind, and there was no record of the anomalies in the western region near the Baltic Sea.
However, it is enough, Alice originally came here to find the traces of the Snow Mountain Druid, as for other aspects, as long as it does not affect the western expedition of the Attila Empire, then she is too lazy to pay attention.
"Guest, are you satisfied?"
Suddenly, the sound that appeared in the house startled Alice, making her body rarely have a rapid heartbeat, and a faint red appeared on her face.
Underneath Morrigan's invisibility cloak, a faint glow appeared on Alice's fingertips, and she turned to look in the direction where the voice came from, as long as there was a little wrong, the magic in her hand would be thrown out mercilessly.
Alice's eyes were met by a man in a white bearskin coat, blonde hair and blue eyes, with an uninhibited smile on his young face, his eyes were not on Alice's body, but looked around, as if looking for something.
This appearance is obviously not to find Alice's figure, but he can feel that there is an uninvited guest in this house, maybe there is something that Alice has missed before, or the other party has an ability called intuition similar to Skaha, which can only be possessed after countless battles.
Alice did not underestimate the other party because of her age, because being able to appear by her side without being noticed by Alice is a skill that can be affirmed in itself.
"Aren't you going to come out?"
The whole house was silent, only the voice of the blond young man echoed, and the shoes on his feet were still covered with snow and mud, stepping on the white blanket, and imprinting black footprints one after another.
The young man carefully held an iron sword with a little rust, and vigilantly circled around the house, looking for the exact location of the uninvited guests who appeared in the house in his senses.
From his movements, Alice could also see that this young man had an intuition similar to Skaha's, and also similar to the so-called girl's sixth sense, and strange feelings could bring him information that ordinary people could not obtain.
Alice had a little hesitation on her face, and she was hesitant to appear in front of the young man, because the Novgorodians were Attila's men, and she was likely to be unable to talk properly in front of them.
She didn't think that the other party would not recognize herself, after all, the black-haired and black-clothed girl, with the appearance of different northern races, had legendary strength, and there was only one person in the Baltic Sea and the surrounding areas along its coast.
In particular, this is still a region of the Rus' steppe, which for a time had close trade with the Baltic Empire, and people here must have heard some descriptions of Alice's appearance, even if they have not seen a portrait of her.
Moreover, this young man, Alice observed from his movements, this young man should be the owner of this house, that is to say, the furs of those powerful beasts such as white dragons hanging on the wall are all his trophies.
At the same time, he should also be the lord of this territory, the leader of the Novgorodians living here, although he doesn't know his name, but he became the leader at such an age, and governed the entire territory in an orderly manner, and also has strong strength, giving Alice the feeling that he is the strength of the increased Siegel.
You have to be especially careful when dealing with such a person, because you don't know what kind of thoughts are hidden under the smile he wears on the surface, as if this young man now has a big smile on his face, the kind of smile that holds a gift in his hand and receives a guest.
Alice knew that if she really believed his smile, believed the words that came out of his mouth, and appeared in front of him unsuspectingly, then what awaited her would definitely be a raging storm and a non-stop attack.
However, even so, Alice was still hesitating, because of the angle just now, she didn't fully see the papers placed on the table, so there was no way to guess the possible location of the Snow Mountain Druid from it.
Perhaps by feeling, or perhaps by judgment, the young man came to the living room with his weapon in his hand, and immediately put the papers on the table into his arms, so that Alice lost the opportunity to continue reading.
"We Novgorodians are the most hospitable people, friend, come to us, don't stay for the night, let us entertain you?"
The words of the guest were spoken, but the movement of the young man's hand was diametrically opposite, he was dancing into the air with a long sword in one hand, and it was obvious that even if he could not see with his eyes, could not hear with his ears, and could not smell with his nose, he could still feel that Alice had not left this place.
"Friend, don't you come out yet? as soon as you come out, you are a friend of our Novgorodians, and believe me, I am the leader of the Novgorodians, Rurik. ”
"I, Rurik, have never repented, you come out as my friend, our Novgorod friend, we will prepare you the best food, the most beautiful women, the most comfortable house, and entertain you with the highest standard of treatment. ”
The young leader named Rurik spoke very sincerely, and if it weren't for the sword slashing through the tip of Alice's nose, Alice would have almost believed it.
"Friend, don't be so shy, we're all big men, what does it mean to be so shy? I also have a barrel of barley wine from those goblins in my collection, and believe me, it's a good thing that you won't forget after drinking it. ”
I'm sorry, I don't believe you, and I'm not a big man
Alice complained silently in her heart, the so-called barley wine may be an irresistible wine for men living in the Northland, but for Alice, who likes to drink black tea, the taste of that kind of thing is worse than plain water.
"Don't you like to drink? It doesn't matter, my camp has the best chefs, halflings, have you heard? That's the best chef in the north, believe me, the food cooked with our Novgorod ingredients will definitely make you can't stop spooning. ”
Halfling, of course Alice knows, it's not the first time they've cooked food Alice has eaten, but to be honest, compared to the chefs taught by Alice, halfling's cooking skills can only be regarded as good.
"Hmm...... Don't you like food and wine?"
As he spoke, Rurik stopped and fell into deep thought, and if his eyes hadn't rolled, Alice really thought he was in deep thought.
"It seems that the guest is sleepy and wants to rest, it's okay, I'll go out first, so I won't bother you." ”
In the end, Rurik still couldn't match Alice's patience, he reluctantly made a gesture of spreading his hands, and then took the long sword, tensed his muscles, and still had a bright smile on his face, and left the room step by step, and then gently closed the door.
Just give up?
Just give up like that?
This suspicion only existed in her mind for three seconds before being thrown aside, and judging from the actions and words of the young man named Rurik just now, Alice did not think that the other party would be the one who would give up so easily.
However, the departure of the other party also helped her make a decision, not to waste time here, even if the information about the Snow Mountain Druid from those papers was very limited, but for Alice, it was just a little more time.
Alice believed in her abilities, and as long as the snowy mountain druids were still in this grassland, it was only a matter of time before they were found.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Alice stopped her thoughts, a hint of surprise flashed across her face, her hands waved repeatedly, and five or six layers of magical defense were arranged under her, and a green light appeared on the surrounding wood, turning into a wooden wall in front of him.
The next second
The loud explosions engulfed the shaking room, and the hot flames were reveling wildly, and everything in the house became a burning toy, even the precious furs that hung on the walls.
Standing a hundred meters away from the house, Rurik raised his hands and looked at the house that had been reduced to a sea of fire, as everything inside turned to ashes in the raging fire, and as the hard stone cracked and shattered under the action of the heat.
Rurik's face once again showed a bright smile, but this time his smile was even more sincere, after all, seeing an uninvited guest being destroyed is a pleasant thing no matter what, isn't it?
As for the things that were consumed by the flames, the houses he had lived in for a long time seemed to him to be inconsequential, and if the houses were gone, he would just build another one, and those spoils of war would not be hunted again, and he would make a lot of money by exchanging these things for the life of an enemy that he could not perceive.
Otherwise, if the uninvited guest had made trouble in this camp, he would have lost not this house and some booty, but his tribe, his tribe.
"Seeing your smile makes me feel at ease. ”
"Rurik, next, please prepare well and entertain me with the highest standard of treatment. ”
The voice of anger appeared in Rurik's ears, it was not old-sounding, it was completely different from what he had expected, it belonged only to a young girl.
Like a fish frozen on the surface of a lake, Rurik's smile froze on his face, looking particularly funny.
There was a hint of horror in her eyes, looking at the girl who was walking out of the flames, the black clothes and black hair were so eye-catching in the red firelight and the white blizzard.
As Alice had guessed before, because of the establishment of the Baltic Empire, her image has become a household name and is easily recognizable by others.
However, a certain girl who had been angered by the explosion of Rurik's hand had completely trampled on the previous cautious thoughts.
Now, she just wants to vent her inner anger well, and let this guy with a bright smile and a foolish face know what a girl's anger is.
"Like, it's a little bit bad......"
With a cold sweat, Rurik looked at the girl who even had a fire in her eyes, and kept turning her brain, trying to find a solution to the dilemma in front of her.
