Chapter 13: The Holy Maiden of the Empire
For a moment, the guild fell into a deathly silence.
Then the adventurers let out a furious roar.
Walter's words caused an uproar, and the hall was in an uproar.
The third princess of the empire is the youngest daughter of the king, and she is also the saint chosen by the god of light, according to legend, when she was born, the heavens gave an oracle, and the pope of the Holy See personally held a sacred ceremony for her, prophesied her brilliant life, and predicted that she would be the key to defeating the demon king and would become the most important companion of the brave.
In addition, this noble princess is also the key to unlocking the kingdom of God, and when the demons are defeated by humans, humans will enter the kingdom of gods under her guidance.
The corners of Felik's mouth rose slightly, revealing an unfathomable smile.
This is a great opportunity for him, and this princess has the value to rescue.
In layman's terms, it is very valuable.
In an instant, Felik decided to rescue the princess.
As long as this princess is rescued, it will be easy to pay off the debt, and she will be able to make a name, so that she will be a big step away from becoming a brave man, Felik thought to himself.
"Felik, why do you have to be a brave man?" Felik's head sounded Bella's voice.
Felik replied with his thoughts: "Bella, I've said it many times, I'm not looking for a throne, I'm looking for world peace!" ”
"Of course I know this, but this is not the only way to defeat your sister, it is very dangerous for a demon king to pretend to be a brave."
"Do you think I can beat my sister on my own now?"
Bella was silent, the current Felik was no match for Agnes at all, and even if there was no curse, it was impossible to defeat Agnes.
After Walter announced the news of the princess's abduction, the adventurers boiled over, and everyone abandoned their current mission and began to prepare for the rescue of the princess.
Felik is no exception, relying on a body that can't fight, can't resist and has no magic power to live until now, how can he be an ordinary person?
"Hehe, it's time for our Brave Squad to attack!" Felik said confidently.
First of all, you need to get some consumables and equipment to improve the overall strength of the team.
From the information given by Walter, it seems that the princess escaped from the palace without permission and came to the vicinity of Billy Megson and was taken away by an orc legion, relying on Felik's current rudimentary equipment, it is almost impossible to recapture the princess from the orcs, Afra's attack power is negligible, and Odelia's defense is equal to zero, and you must get some props for these two goods to improve.
In the end, Felik decided to use the potion made by Belina to make up for Afra's lack of attack power, as long as he used the poison blade, even Afra could more or less give the enemy a little damage and act as a bait.
As for Oderia, heads-up is never a problem, even if her swordsmanship is placed among the knights of the imperial capital, it is also a top-notch existence, and in heads-up, Odelia often solves the battle without injury.
The fragile body of the scarecrow prevents her from withstanding the slightest attack, a trait that makes her quite powerless in the face of group fights. As a warrior, Felik had to use the other party as an assassin, which was a great sadness for a warrior.
"Commander~~ Why can I only quench poison, I want to have rune-blessed equipment."
Afra looked up at Felik pitifully.
The pale golden hair is scattered between the eyebrows and eyes, the clear eyes are matched with the immature and sweet children's voice, in the face of such a lovely Lori, no one must refuse her "insignificant" request.
At this moment, Afra took advantage of her appearance to the extreme.
But Felik's attack was completely immune: "Little Fura, don't look at me like that." It's useless, we don't have the money to get the equipment, there is no need to talk about this matter anymore. ”
Felik was telling the truth, they had already run a deficit in the group fee, and even the potions were made by Belina by asking for ingredients from Betsy.
In order to keep costs down, he asked for some low-grade potions, and even then, they added a new debt.
After presumably preparing some basic potions, they set off.
Belina had a pretty good mage robe that came with her certification as a high-level mage, but she had to mortgage the mage robe to the guild in order to make the potion, and now she was wearing only a shoddy cloth robe, which was incompatible with her well-made staff.
The others weren't much better, they didn't have anything to be equipped with, and at best they were just ordinary clothes.
Such four people walking in the ranks of adventurers look extremely special.
"Captain, are we really going to crusade against the orcs? I've heard that orcs are tough demons to deal with. Ojelia said: "The last time I met the orcs, they didn't even let me go as a scarecrow, and directly dismantled me into parts, what a manic and furious race. ”
"Yo, isn't this a dead fish's eye? Long time no see. Could it be that you are going to save the princess too? ”
The long, fiery red hair stood out as Morte smiled as he walked towards them.
Morte's outfit was more luxurious than Felik's, the smooth leather was stitched into intricate leather armor, and the middle layer was faintly visible from the edges, it was a close-fitting chain mail, this tough armor provided good protection, and the appearance was beautiful and ornamental, he was more like a brilliant adventurer than Felik's poor dress.
Walking beside Moult was an orc, a standing white tiger, with a nearly three-meter-tall body and knotted muscles that were intimidating.
The warriors of the White Tiger Clan are a rare inhuman race that stands on the side of the Empire, and they are powerful allies of the Empire.
Their innate hunting talent and strong physique make them perfect warriors, able to withstand a large number of attacks and stand tall, making them the most reliable companions for adventurers.
"You're Felik, my companion gave you trouble the other day." The White Tiger Warrior raised his thick tiger paw and touched the back of his head, revealing a sincere smile, he stretched out his furry tiger paw to shake Felik's hand.
This guy seems to be much easier to get along with than the dead monkey, Felik thought to himself, smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand to hold the tiger's palm: "There is nothing." ”
"Haha, my name is Nick, please advise me in the future, Dead Fisheye." The style of the White Tiger Warrior has changed.
Felik had a stiff smile on his face, and nodded in a friendly manner: "Well, I'll give you good advice, big cat." ”
The strong smell of gunpowder spread between the two of them, and the eyes that looked at each other seemed to rub electric light.
At this moment, a girl was squeezed out from behind Nick, and the girl's face was a little freckled, but it made her look a little cute, and her bright smile and croscent eyes made people feel full of energy.
I saw the girl smiling and squeezing between Felik and Nick, showing an apologetic smile to Felik, and reaching out to hold Felik's hand.
"I'm sorry that Nick and Moult are always so rude and make you laugh. That's right! You're the one who saved a mutant alone, it's admirable, Moult didn't even survive ten minutes. ”
The girl's words made Felik quite useful, especially the second half of the sentence, which not only affirmed Felik's strength, but also made Moult make an indirect comparison with him.
Obviously knew that the other party wanted to pat himself on the back, but Felik just couldn't resist, he changed his cold attitude, waved his hand and said "modestly": "Winning awards and awards, it's just a mutant, it's not a problem at all, Moult's performance at that time was also very good, if he hadn't broken through that wall with his head, how would I have come out of prison to duel with the minotaur, hahaha." ”
Morte was furious when he heard this, and he was about to start another battle with Felik with his eyebrows, but when he was about to fight back, he was stopped by a look from the girl.
Felik saw it in his eyes, and he already roughly knew the relationship between these people, and the status of this girl in front of him in the team should be higher than that of Moult and Nick.
What does she do? Felik was a little curious.
After carefully looking the other party up and down, he knew what kind of profession she was.
The awls and hammers around his waist were simple tools that every craftsman would carry, and the girl was probably a craftsman.
It's not a big job, but why do the other two seem to respect her?
Obviously, the girl doesn't seem to be very strong, and the craftsman is by no means a particularly rare profession in the adventurer team, what is there about her that can make the grumpy dead monkey endure three points?
"Oh yes, my name is Nina, and I hope to take care of it in the future." After saying that, the other party flew back into Moult's team like a bird.
Looking at the back of the three Morte leaving, Felik was thoughtful.
Although there is some curiosity, the most important thing now is how to rescue the princess.
There is no exact information about the specific route of the orc legion, but most people think that since the orc has captured the princess, then it must be heading in the direction of the demon king city, as long as it is surrounded and intercepted on this route, then it is bound to intercept the orc legion halfway, and Felik does not feel that this inference is correct.
The princess fled the royal city without permission, and since the people in the royal city didn't know about it, there was no reason why the orc legion would know about it.
In other words, the princess was accidentally captured by the orc legion, and the other party probably did not know that the person he captured was the third princess of the empire, and the empire would not be stupid enough to make the identity of the princess public, so that the orcs could understand the great value of the hostages in their hands.
Based on these, Felik draws several conclusions.
First: Because of the secrecy of the princess's escape, the orcs could not have gone on a special expedition to kidnap the princess, they came here for another purpose.
Second: The orcs kidnapped the princess not because of her noble value, but for some other reason, such as the fact that the orcs kidnapped a large number of young girls, and the princess was only one of them. In all likelihood, this is just one of the steps they have taken to achieve their goals.
Third: Before achieving their true purpose, they will definitely go to the predetermined place, rather than returning straight to the Demon Realm.
As soon as he thought of this, the corners of Felik's mouth rose slightly, drawing a treacherous arc, and he had a plan in his heart.
