18. Trump Battle Plan
Dark clouds obscured the crescent moon in the night sky, and it didn't take long to hear the rolling spring thunder, but I didn't expect it to rain at this time.
I promised Caterina to go back to the courtyard for the night, so I had to go back no matter how late it was.
It was so dark that you couldn't reach out and see your fingers, and the rain was falling in the night sky, and it would feel cold when you hit your face.
The magic caravan stopped at the foot of the stone steps of Arya's family yard, and the dim horse lamps hung in the four corners of the front and back of the car, Betty was wearing a nightdress, showing a white tooth and a thin coat, and followed me tremblingly, holding an umbrella for me, and sending me to the magic caravan.
I stood at the doorway, looking up at the terrace of the bedroom on the second floor of the big house, and nodded to Arya by the wall lamp at the door.
Dressed in silk pajamas, Arya leaned gracefully against the pillar of the balcony railing and waved goodbye to me.
The business in the imperial capital is gradually on the right track, but I have no way to set up the magic seal workshop in the imperial capital, and this magic seal technology can only be hidden in Xinliu Valley now, so the problem of the turnover of these rune plates has always been my own hands.
During the period when I went to the Hierro plane, I couldn't find time to return to the imperial capital every day, so the workshop needed Arya to help me take care of it, and I discussed with Arya that I would open the portal every two days and send the rune board from the Xinliu Valley to her, and she would transfer it to Murray in the rune board workshop.
Sitting in the magic caravan, the street lamps on the street are more like the buttocks of fireflies, emitting only a faint light.
Suddenly, when she revealed some information about Xinliu Valley to Arya, her eyes were full of resentment: "So, in fact, we don't have to go to the warehouse in the airport town every time to trade the magic pattern spider silk, as long as you want to complete every transaction even in the bedroom?"
I could only blink at such a question, maybe a little embarrassed, but she never needed my explanation, and even if I wanted to, she would put her finger on my lips to stop me from speaking.
At the same time, I also found that she was able to handle everything given to her very well.
My courtyard is just a wall away from Alia's house, and if it weren't for the rain, I'd probably choose to run back over the wall, but it's okay to think about it.
......
According to Katerina, little Ella is now very popular in the Junior Warrior Academy, and many people like this enthusiastic and cheerful mixed-race girl.
Caterina wants me to go to the Hierro Plane this time, and I should officially say goodbye to little Ella before leaving.
Unfortunately, when I returned to the courtyard, it was late, and the rain fell on the ice shield overhead, and instantly solidified into ice, and the surface of the ice shield showed a mottled and uneven mark.
When I removed the ice shield that was covering my head, pushed open the door and entered the living room, the butler and the maid were already asleep.
Only Caterina waited quietly in the living room, sitting on the sofa with her legs curled up in a long linen dress, her long red hair scattered over her shoulders, holding the sketch with one hand and sketching on the drawing board with the other, looking very focused.
Hearing the noise at the door, she looked up at me and said, "I thought you wouldn't be back at such a late hour!"
I felt a little weak, took off my rain-soaked boots, stepped barefoot on the floor, and walked behind her to look at her paintings.
She painted the small town of Trum, although she had no talent for drawing, but every street was clearly drawn, and there were all kinds of shops on both sides of the street, the most primitive plan of this town, the location of these shops on the street had been determined, Caterina raised her head and handed me her drawing board, pointed to the location of the town square on the drawing board, and said to me: "Jiga, I want to plant ginkgo trees in this square, like this......"
She quickly drew small trees in the blank area with charcoal, and I said to her, "Okay, this town may need you to take care of it for me in the future, and you can plant whatever you like!"
Caterina looked at me with delight, put her white arm around my neck, and gave me a gentle kiss.
Then she put the drawing board on the coffee table, sat down on the sofa in the living room, and whispered to me: "The Trum camp receives more than 50 laborers from Tanton City almost every day, I believe that in this half a month or so, after the camp gathers more than 2,000 laborers, the construction speed of the whole town will become very fast, we have all the foundation stones ready, and the outside of the camp is full of wood for beams, maybe it won't take too long for the first batch of houses to be built." ”
She stopped as she spoke.
At this moment there was the sound of soft footsteps in the corridor, and a maid came out of the cloister in soft shoes, apparently asleep, wearing only a silk dress, and came with a plate of refreshments, and gently saluted me and Caterina, and then put the refreshments on the coffee table, and whispered to me, "Lord Count Giga, I will go and prepare hot bath water for you." ”
I had to sit up straight on the couch and nod to her.
She was a lady-in-waiting brought by Ying Li from Prince James's lakeside estate, and was trained in court etiquette.
After the maid went upstairs, I said to Katarina, "This time we will go to the Hiero plane, and we will probably leave the Trum region to find the Nebru spider people in the southern Black Forest. ”
Caterina subconsciously touched the short dagger tied to her lap, and her eyes became much sharper at this moment.
She was like two people at home and at war, and she asked me, "Are you going to take those barbarian slaves with you?"
I lowered my voice and said to Caterina, "Not only the Barbarian Slave Warband, but all the Orc Constructed Warriors. ”
Surprised, she asked, "So what if the Nebru spider-man warriors take a detour to attack Trum Camp?"
I took a soda biscuit from the tray and ate it as I ate, "Let those laborers return to Tanton City for a while, if I leave the camp with the barbarian slaves at this time, I don't think the spider-man warriors will have any interest in an abandoned camp." ”
Caterina leaned her body on my shoulder, stared into my eyes, and asked with great seriousness, "Jiga, do you have any other plans?"
"Why do you think I have other plans?" I asked her with a smile.
Reflecting my reflection in those red pupils, she said to me, "You're going to show all your fangs this time, and it's strange to say that you don't have a well-thought-out plan!"
I didn't expect Caterina to be so sensitive that she would guess that I had other plans.
So I said to Caterina, "Actually, my plan is not too mature, and when we get to the Hiro plane, I will go to the Hiero plane to go to the dust swamp to meet the ancient tree of war." ”
Caterina asked me with a puzzled expression, "Are you going to let the War Ancient Tree help?" But the scope of Bernd's current activities is not within his lord aura, unless he advances again, his lord aura cannot be expanded again. ”
I reached out and grabbed her soft but powerful waist, pulled her up from the couch, and went upstairs with her.
"Don't forget, there's more to this Black Forest than just a war tree. I said.
Caterina was half a head taller than me, and she tended to bow her head when she stood and talked to me, and her lips could easily reach my ear when I put my arms around her.
"Are you going to contact the other War Trees?" she asked me.
I shook my head, the Dryants are notoriously dead-headed, and they don't trust anyone easily.
I said, "Of course, those war ancient trees can't believe me, but they will definitely trust their companions, I want to pass through the bridge of the big tree in the dust swamp, I believe that in the recent time, he has seen my strength, and will probably be willing to help us contact other war ancient trees! ”
Caterina put her arms around my arms and suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Shouldn't you have planned to do this a long time ago, even if Princess Ledie doesn't go to the Hiero plane, you will have to clean up those Nebru spidermen?"
She looked around warily, fearing that our conversation would be overheard by others, at least in this house, except for me and Katarina, Ella, and Deborah, as well as the attendants in the Prince's Palace.
I smiled and said, "If that's the case, probably the plan will be a little later, at least I'll wait until the town of Trump is built first." ”
"So you're still going to do it, it's just that Princess Ledie's plan to go to the Hiero plane has brought your plan to clean up the Nebru spider-people a little earlier. Caterina smiled and asked me, "But the addition of Princess Le Die this time is exactly the equivalent of Prince James lending you a team of high-level constructed knights?"
I smiled and said to Katarina, "We will also be joined by two second-turn powerhouses, who will add an extra layer of security to our hunt for the Spider-Man Overseers. ”
Caterina looked at me in surprise with her lips furled.
I continued to say to her, "Also, I hope that the orc warriors will learn something new from these Constructed Knights, at least they are just a group of warriors on warhorses for now, and they still need to fight under the horses, not on horseback. ”
......
Light rain and early sunshine.
The blue sky looks like it's been scrubbed, and the morning sun is particularly dazzling.
I was awakened by little Ella's screams, and in a trance, I saw a white figure jumping onto my bed like a lilt.
Little Ella first pulled back all the curtains in the room, then pushed all the windows open, and then went to the bed and lifted my quilt so that I could feel the cool breeze of the morning, and then she jumped out of bed with a sly smile and ran away.
"Jijia, who told you to release my pigeon last night, I waited for you for a long time, and you didn't come back, this is a lesson for you to talk doesn't count!" Little Ella stood in the doorway, put her hands on her waist, and said to me proudly, laughing and running away.
I lay flat on the bed, looking at Caterina with a confused expression, Caterina came out of the bathroom with a stack of clothes, smiled at me helplessly, and said: "The atmosphere in the Imperial Capital Junior Warrior Academy is really not too good, or you should find her a knight academy." ”
"Forget it, she won't like it, she probably prefers to be a ranger. I said to Katerina.
I was about to sit up from my bed when a maid ran in from outside the room in a panic and put the quilt back on me.
Fortunately, I did some things in Arya's house last night, so when I slept with Caterina in my arms, I was at least wearing a nightgown, otherwise this morning would have been completely embarrassed.
I remember the first time I met little Ella was in the slave market, when Karantso took her with her, and she was too well-behaved.
When little Ella went to school, I didn't want her to herd sheep and collect herbs in the Xinliu Valley and become a complete orc girl, so I let her come to the imperial capital, but I didn't expect that during the period of living in the imperial capital, she didn't adjust her personality well, but made her temperament more wild.
It seems that only Karantso can control her!
Perhaps by nature, Deborah liked to live in the highest attic, and she never liked to climb stairs, preferring to get out of the attic window and do a short glide in the courtyard before landing on the lawn in the yard.
Little Ella would play with Deborah on the lawn in the yard every morning, Deborah flapped her wings, both speed and strength were much stronger than little Ella, and the most important thing was that she could fly, Deborah knew that flying low on the roof and in the yard would not touch the Forbidden Sky Circle.
Deborah looks quieter than little Ella, but I know that her body flows with the blood of a liger, a harpy, a succubus, and hidden behind this innocent face is the heart of a beast, and I will leave the imperial capital for at least a month this time, I dare not leave her here, she wants to go with me to Hierro.
Little Ella stood on the lawn in the courtyard and shouted to me on the balcony on the second floor with some indignation, "Jiga, when will you take me?"
"That's until you become a real knightess. "I stood on the balcony and let the maids behind me sort out my clothes, and said to little Ella on the lawn downstairs.
Little Ella raised her hand and protested: "I won't go to the knight academy, how can an orc girl be a knight, I will either be a ranger or a hunter!"
I smiled and said to her, "My team doesn't need this, I just need a female knight who can lead the team, think about it!"
"......" Little Ella fell silent for a moment.
Then I saw the gate of the courtyard opened, and a magnificent magic caravan slowly drove into the courtyard, and I said to Caterina and Deborah, "They are coming, you should also prepare, and we will leave at once!"
