Chapter 144: Among the Mountains
It was getting dark.
The girl seemed to be really hungry, and had eaten more than Sauron. She probably hadn't eaten all day, and she looked like she was gobbling it up. Sauron had been silently roasting meat beside him, and only after the other party had eaten his fill, did he slowly say, "What's your name?" Who is it? ”
"Anna." The girl hesitated for a moment and whispered, "I am the nobleman of Arendelle. ”
Sauron turned his head to look at her and said slowly, "Ordinary nobles can't afford to wear clothes like this. You're supposed to be Arendelle's royal family, right? Arendelle is a special kingdom, there are few nobles in it, and there are only two members of the royal family, one is the eldest princess who is about to ascend the throne, and the other is her sister. ”
"Legend has it that Arendelle's eldest princess is a very powerful Manifest Warlock, you should be her sister, right?"
"The eldest princess can't be forced to be so wolfish!"
The girl named Anna couldn't help but widen her eyes when she heard this, looked at Sauron with some surprise, and muttered, "I knew you must be a very powerful adventurer!" …… They also say you're a fool and make yourself so wolf! …… Almost died in the wild! ……”
"Hmm...... I'm Arendelle's little princess! …… But I'm not as good as my sister, I'm just an ordinary person! ……”
Sauron didn't answer what he had said, and he didn't really want to say anything about asceticism.
He just looked at the girl in front of him and said slowly: "Arendelle is one of the best countries in the Ice and Snow Country, and the eldest princess is one of the few legendary warlocks here, and it is definitely not easy to dare to attack your enemies." According to the standards of the royal family of this world, your guards are at least the third order or above, if you can force you to live in the wilderness by calculating the wealth and treasures of the royal family, there should be legendary professionals among the people who attack you! ”
Anna couldn't help but open her mouth wide and muttered, "It's amazing." ”
Sauron stared at the other man's expression. His face became more and more ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "It is impossible for the local legendary professional to attack you, because it will lead to a disaster that will ruin you." I've heard of that sister of yours, and it's just a thought to get angry and destroy the city with bare hands! Then it must be an outsider who attacks you! And some people with evil purposes! ”
He paused here and said slowly, "The only thing I want to know now is whether there are any drow elves among the people who attacked you?" ”
The girl's face was already a little incredulous, and she muttered, "How do you know that I met the Drow Elf?" ”
Sure enough, it was still involved in this matter.
Sauron silently fiddled with the bonfire, his expression a little uncertain, and said in a deep voice: "That's the chosen people who tortured the goddess, and I encountered traces of their activities when I came here. The second princess who dared to attack Arendelle, it is estimated that only they would do so. Others are doing this completely to find death, and it is no joke that the eldest princess will be frozen for thousands of miles in a rage. ”
Anna hesitated for a moment, looked at Sauron with wide eyes, and said, "Sister is a very good person, very gentle, and kind. She never abuses her abilities, she doesn't do things like you say, she doesn't hurt innocent people. ”
Sauron didn't answer.
He looked at the wind and snow outside, and said slowly, "What are your plans now?" ”
Anna's expression hesitated. Then he looked up at Sauron and whispered, "Can you send me back to Arendelle?" I'll definitely repay you! Sister will also give you the reward you deserve, and can even give you a knighthood! ”
Title?
Sauron smiled, shook his head, and said, "No. At least not yet. ”
"Since those torturers dare to attack you. It's absolutely impossible to let me take you back. I don't even have a chance to make a move against the elect of the gods, they are even more terrible than the legendary wizards! And if I'm not mistaken, there should be their eyeliner on all roads leading to Arendelle right now, and you'll be attacked as soon as you show up! ”
"Unless it's your sister who comes to pick you up herself."
Anna's expression was a little downcast. muttered, "I don't know what's wrong with my sister?" That bad drow elf said that if my sister saves me, she can't save Arendelle! ……”
"My sister trapped her with ice, and then I escaped."
"I don't know what happened to Arendelle now! …… Let's hope everyone is okay! ……”
Quite kind little girl.
Sauron glanced up at her and said slowly, "It's not that I can't send you back at all. It's just that it can't be now, and it can't go the normal way. ”
The girl looked up into his eyes with a glimmer of hope when she heard this.
The other party's eyes were very pure, and it seemed that it was a girl who had not experienced much of the world, and Sauron looked away slightly and said, "Now should be the time when they are most anxious, and those degenerates are probably desperately looking for you." So we'd better not leave here anytime soon, and when they come out, your sister should be able to clean them up. ”
"When the time comes, I'll find a way to take you over the mountains, and then return to Arendelle along the way from the seashore."
The girl obviously believed him, and nodded her little head slightly.
Sauron flicked the campfire to make it a little stronger, and said, "You can rest first." I guess you're tired too. Tomorrow we are going into the mountains, and we may have some trouble. ”
The girl looked at him suspiciously, and whispered, "Into the mountain?" Aren't we waiting here? ”
"Nope." Sauron shook his head and said, "I'm going to go in and do something." ”
The girl was obviously very curious, and blinked her eyes and said, "What are you going to do in there?" It's already a place where no one lives! ”
Sauron glanced at her and said lightly, "Slay the dragon." ”
The light in the girl's eyes flickered, and she said in surprise: "Slaying the dragon? There don't seem to be dragons in the Ice Country, right? They're all scared of their sister! It is said that all of them fled to Iceland overseas. ”
Sauron was stunned for a moment.
It seems that the legendary eldest princess is even more powerful than she imagined, no wonder there is no dragon here in the Ice and Snow Country, could it be that she was really scared away by the eldest princess?
So how strong is this legendary Manifest Warlock?
"Frost Pterodactyl."
Sauron filled the firewood and said, "I'm going to kill some of them, improve my strength, and then exchange them for some money." ”
Money?
The girl hurriedly groped around with her body, and then said with a sad face: "My bag is lost!" …… There's a lot of valuable stuff in there! ……”
She looked at her body and took off the ring earrings with some distress. Said cautiously: "I'll give you these first." ”
"They were left to me by the Queen Mother...... Can I redeem them with money when I go back? ……”
The voice is a little nervous, and the little appearance is a little funny.
Sauron turned his head to look at her, and couldn't help but smile, but instead of reaching out to take those things, he said slowly, "You can take it yourself." Since you saved me, I should repay you too. Maybe your fate really shouldn't be like this! ……”
He had heard of Arendelle's eldest princess, but he had never heard of the second princess, and he wondered what her final fate would have been if she hadn't met her.
The Ice and Snow Rebellion broke out.
The rampaging eldest princess was frozen for thousands of miles, turning the earth into an icy hell. It can't be because of her, right?
It seems possible.
Arendelle's royal family has only two princesses, and she may be the eldest princess's only relative.
"Thank you...... Thank you! ......" The girl silently withdrew the ring earrings, looked up at Sauron in front of her, a grateful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said slowly: "You are a good person. ”
Sauron's fingers chattered.
Immediately, he reluctantly turned his head to look at the other party and said seriously: "I'm not a good person. I've killed more people than you know! ”
"I only helped you because you saved me."
"Please don't say this to me again in the future, this sentence is not very auspicious in my hometown."
"Alright."
"Hurry up and rest. There is still some way to go tomorrow. ”
The girl didn't seem to understand why a word of gratitude would make Sauron react so much, but she sat down honestly. muttered in a low voice: "Bragging! …… Scare me! …… You don't look like the kind of villain who has killed a lot of people! ……”
Sauron is handsome in appearance, a bit of a half-elf.
The girl obviously didn't believe in Sauron's bloody hands, but thought that the other party didn't seem to like hearing this. Some people like the one in the story who is in the dark but upholds justice, otherwise he wouldn't have saved himself, right?
Did he really kill a lot of people?
The girl was visibly very tired. Soon he began to feel sleepy, and fell asleep on a rock with his head tilted.
Little by little, time passed.
Sauron took out the spell scroll and began to parse it, the cold wind howling outside, and occasionally he would stop and listen. Then continue your own research.
At midnight.
The girl's sleeping expression was a little frightened, and she muttered something in unconscious words, and then suddenly woke up and shouted with wide eyes: "No! …… No! …… Don't kill her! ……”
Sauron put down the scroll. He frowned at her and said, "Have a nightmare?" ”
The girl was stunned for a moment, seemed to come to her senses, nodded slightly, and then said cautiously, "Can I sit next to you?" ”
Sauron nodded.
She walked over slowly, and sat down carefully beside Sauron, her expression still looking a little frightened.
Sauron reached out and stroked her hair, then patted her on the back.
Seemingly relieved, the girl looked at the scroll in his hand, then rested her head on Sauron's shoulder. Time passed quickly, and before she knew it, she grabbed the corner of Sauron's clothes with her fingers, and her little head was tilted to his knees, and her breathing gradually became even, apparently asleep.
Maybe she's really tired.
Let a pampered princess go through so many things in a day, I'm afraid it's really hard to adapt for a while.
Sauron reopened the spell scroll, occasionally glancing down at her.
After coming into this world, this was the first time that anyone but little Vivien would fall asleep on his lap.
The wind was still howling outside.
He felt the storm brewing in the Land of Ice!
