Chapter 145: The Scarlet Veil

(Cat pounces Chinese http://www.mpzw.com.)

www.mpzw.com) The aftermath of the fire dragon attack finally subsided, the western part of the city began to rebuild, and the snow city also recovered a little.

It has become a veritable city of light, and most of its inhabitants have converted to the light.

"In the last month, there have been more than a dozen confirmed dragon sightings in various places. Clement, holding a tome in his hand, reported to Loria, "Except for the fire dragon that attacked us, only ice dragons of similar size and capable of spewing extremely low temperatures have been found. ”

"Ice Dragon?" repeated Loria, who held her chin in her hand, before interjecting, "It sounds weak." ”

"In terms of individual combat effectiveness, there is not much difference between the two. Clement replied, "However, compared to the fire dragons, they are indeed much less destructive to human settlements. ”

Today, the Scarlet Crusaders have a large number of devout followers of all classes, and their ability to gather intelligence is no longer the same.

"According to the information that has been transmitted so far, the dragons' attacks on humans are almost concentrated in the area controlled by the Empire and Count Xueman, and so far, there has been no news of any dragon attacks on the rebels' area. Clement put down the pamphlet in his hand and continued, "In my opinion, it is very likely that the rebels who have not been weakened will be looking for an opportunity to attack the Empire or the Snowman County in the near future. Please consider whether you want to withdraw from here. ”

"If the Xue Man Leader leans towards the Empire, then the balance of strength will be balanced again. Loria thought for a moment and said, "But it also has the potential to force the rebels into a situation where they have to attack Xueman first...... No, they will definitely rush to attack the city at any cost...... Once the Snowman Counts, which produce more than half of Skyrim's food, ally with the Empire, the defeat of the rebels is only a matter of time. ”

Clement nodded and sighed, "As you said, Miss. Regardless of whether the rebels attack the Empire or Snowman first, they will lead to an alliance between the two, which in turn will force the rebels to fight a decisive battle under Snowman...... Because of the sudden attack of the dragons, war is inevitable. ”

The fragile balance was disrupted by the sudden appearance of the dragons, and Loria even felt that the reason why they only attacked the Empire and the Snow Manling was to provoke a war between humans.

Cunning and brutal, just like the impression that the fire dragon that attacked the snow man made Loria.

"The rebels who call themselves the Stormcloaks will not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and they will surely start a war before the Empire can mobilize reinforcements from its homeland. The only hope for peace lies in the snow...... For now, let's stay here and wait for the Earl's means to see if he is capable of maintaining the fragile balance that has begun to crumble. Loria playfully said, "Ezekiel is only half a day's journey from here, so what do we have to worry about?"

It is better to say that it is in the best interests of the Scarlet Crusaders for the three forces to fight together and fight dogs.

"Technical, military, political, historical, cultural, social, and even literary, the Nord people have all been revealed before us. Pink Lori stood up from her seat, patted a detailed map on the table, and said, "And Mr. Pavlov until now thought that we were nothing more than a bunch of religious fanatics with burnt brains. ”

Loria paused for a moment, smiled and told Clement her decision: "We're not going anywhere, we're just here and waiting for the curtain to fall." ”

Clement nodded and said no more. After Loria has proven her judgment several times, she and her men have fully accepted Loria's leadership.

Looking at Lori's immature and weak appearance in front of her, the female knight sighed in her heart: only fourteen years old, she acted carefully and had a good strategic vision, and the eldest lady deserved to be the granddaughter of the old duke.

Clement had an idea in his mind - perhaps he should support Loria to inherit the leadership of the Scarlet Crusade.

Of course, it's because the eldest lady has good abilities, and it's definitely not because she's a loli that she supports her, Clement thought in her heart.

It's definitely not because the eldest lady is a Lori that she supports her, because it's very important, so Clement thought of it in her heart for the second time.

……

Nomi was very happy today, and Loria gave her pocket money for the first time.

Tugging at the loose leather collar around her neck, she was planning a fun trip tonight in her mind...... Start by picking up a collar in the corner leather shop to suit your size, then head to the night market for a variety of quirky snacks......

Wiping the saliva that had inadvertently flowed from the corners of her mouth, and with a good budget, she thought of the strange plants she had always seen in the windows of apothecaries—super-rare plants called cacti, which were said to grow only in the desert and brought from the farthest frontiers of the Empire.

Recalling the spiky surface of the cactus, it was difficult for her to refrain from feeling excited when she imagined what it would be like to touch them with her hands.

Must buy a cactus, she made up her mind.

Nomi, who had made a plan, unchained herself to the pillar and bounced about leaving the basement with a small bag of silver coins in her hand.

Just as she reached the entrance upwards, Alice suddenly walked up from the corner and snatched the purse from her hand while she wasn't looking.

"Give it back!" Nomi shouted at Alice angrily, "Stupid!

"You seem to have forgotten what you did when I was hurt. Alice, who had recovered from her injuries, said with a gloomy expression: "Pay the price for provoking me." ”

As soon as Alice's words fell, a tentacle wrapped around Nomi's calf and dragged her to the ground.

"Let go of me!

Nomi screamed and struggled, but her tentacles tightened tighter and tighter, and she was dragged into the small dark room that Loria used to stack her miscellaneous items.

"Stupid, your name is Nomi......" Alice, who followed in, said in a low voice, and then smiled and closed the wooden door of the small dark room behind her.

……

In the middle of the night, the disheveled Nomi sobbed quietly in a charred rubble, the collar around her neck and the chain that attached it to it were gone.

Boom......

With her hands on her knees, Nomi curled up into a small ball against a broken wall blackened by the fire.

At the thought of not only being robbed of her pocket money by Alice, but also being done this and that, Nomi buried her head deep in her knees, and her shoulders trembled uncontrollably.

"The cactus is gone......

Nomi sobbed quietly again.

And most importantly...... Nomi thought to herself...... As a pet loved by her owner, she was robbed of a gift like a love object.

She shrunk her empty neck, shaking her head so hard that she couldn't hear the familiar sound.

"No face to go back......"

Losing her collar and chain, Nomi howled and cried.
