Chapter 269: It's a pity you're not a high elf (4/4)

Field Wilderness. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In the past few days, the hottest news in the wilderness is not that Scorched Earth Ridge was sneak attacked, but that after being sneak attacked, the mage lord of the wilderness announced a sky-high bounty!

The news of a wanted assassin with a head worth 10,000 gold coins and a weapon worth 20,000 gold coins is like throwing a red-hot iron ball into cold water, and it explodes with a bang, and begins to spread in all directions at a frantic speed.

On the bulletin board outside Scorched Earth Ridge, a large crowd of people gathered around the whole day, commenting on the bounty.

"As soon as the lord made such a move, it is strange that the assassin does not die. Staying in a place like this makes me feel relieved. ”

"I bet someone will send him head in less than a month."

"A month is too long, half a month is enough!"

"If I knew martial arts, I'd go find someone."

These discussions happen all the time, and anyone who comes to the territory will be attracted by the bounty announcement at the first time, and the people in the territory are very proud of it.

This greatly dilutes the negative impact of a sneak attack on your territory.

Of course, it is a fact that the territory is still being attacked by people, and this must not happen a second time.

The day after the attack, Gridan became more and more aggressive in his search for the syndicate's spies, and the magicians built the magic tower twice as fast, and the high elf Romosen joined in.

Correspondingly, Link has also greatly increased the rewards of the magicians.

With the efforts of these magicians, the magic tower has changed almost every half a day, and at this rate, it is estimated that in half a month, the magic tower will be completed.

As for Link, he allocates 2 hours a day to deal with territory affairs, and the rest of the time, he spends his time studying magic, focusing on the theory of magic about puppet making.

On the third day of the sneak attack, Link studied the puppet theory on the top floor of the government wooden building as usual.

In the past few days, he has studied "Puppet Heart" and Waynes's puppet theory in depth, and he has fused the two with each other, using the strengths of the other to make up for the shortcomings, and a puppet theory of his own is slowly taking shape.

However, there are still shortcomings.

"It's a pity, I've read too few relevant magic books, it would be better if I could see some of the master's puppet theories and extract the essence for my use."

The wisdom of the predecessors is the ladder to a higher realm, and Link is now very eager to get these things, but unfortunately, the magic background of the human race is too shallow, and he is now stepping on the highest shoulder.

'Tuk Tuk~' suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Link frowned slightly, it was two o'clock in the afternoon, he had ordered not to let people disturb him, what was going on today?

"What's the matter?"

"My lord, Her Highness Mirda has woken up and wants to see you." A young woman's voice came from outside the door, Link had heard it, and he remembered that it was the maid he had arranged for Milda.

Milda woke up, this was indeed the time to meet, Link answered, put away the magic book, opened the door, and said to the maid, "Let's go." ”

The princess was always treated specially, and Milda's residence was the only stone house in the realm, a two-story cottage with a large balcony and a small garden, which was specially built by the Linkor magicians with a modified magic.

Led by the maid, Link made his way through the hastily small garden, into the villa, and finally to the bedroom on the second floor.

In the bedroom, Milda leaned against the back of the bed, and a maid carefully fed her broth.

Seeing Link walk in, Milda smiled slightly, pointed to the chair not far from the bed, and said softly, "Sit." ”

Link sat down and observed Milda's complexion, compared to the first day he saw her, her face was still pale, her eyes were much darker, at this time she was wearing ordinary white pajamas, her light blonde hair was casually draped, and she didn't have the aura of a high elf princess, she was more like a girl next door, of course, this girl next door was outrageously good-looking.

"Go out, I have something to say to Mr. Link alone." Milda waved her hand at the two maids, who bowed slightly, exited the room, and closed the door by the way.

The room was a little quiet for a few seconds, and then Link broke the silence, and he said according to etiquette, "I'm glad to see His Highness recover,"

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, Milda laughed at herself: "Are you happy? Actually, Mr. Link, I woke up this morning, and Romoson told me the whole story. I'm afraid, in your heart, I'm just an alien princess who can give up at any time. ”

Link was slightly stunned and looked up at Milda, only to see that she was also looking at him, her lilac crystal eyes full of a hint of sarcasm.

Well, Link's decision at the time was indeed a bit hurtful, and as an object of abandonment, it was normal to be unhappy, and Link could understand it.

Link wasn't surprised by the other party's reaction, he had already expected the current situation when he made those choices.

He didn't defend himself, but just changed the subject: "Your Highness, did you call me?" ”

Seeing him like this, Princess Milda sighed softly.

She had very mixed feelings about this magician, she admired his magical talent, appreciated his life-saving grace, but felt chilled by his previous choice, but as a royal princess, she had received political education since she was a child, and she knew that there was nothing wrong with Link's choice at that time, if it were her, she would do the same, and she would never be so perfect as him.

"I'm sorry to you. I shouldn't have doubted you that night. Eventually, Milda said this.

Link glanced at Milda with some surprise, judging from the performance that day, Milda should be the same as Romoson, but a fledgling young man, when her face was sarcastic just now, Link still had this idea, but now she suddenly apologized, which reversed Link's impression of her.

Well, a little more mature than that little kid from Romoson. Link felt a little better about Milda.

"I don't need to apologize, if it were me, I would also be distrustful of strangers if I suddenly encountered something like that. This is normal. ”

"Yes, but you're never going to travel overnight like I did." Milda's face was full of self-deprecation: "When you encounter the same thing, not only will you not show any distrust, but you will also show trust and support." Because if you do this, if it is a misunderstanding, the other party will be very grateful for your trust. Even if the other party really has an affair with black magic, your trust and support still make you gain virtue, and others will recognize your quality because of it, right? ”

Link thought for a moment and finally nodded.

If it had been him, he would have done exactly what Milda said.

Trusting someone may seem silly, but it's a very smart investment, and with some self-protection strategies in it, you'll be a winner anyway.

With this strategy, the further you go, the more loyal allies you'll gather around you.

On the other hand, acting like Milda's seems shrewd and protective, but if she keeps doing so, her allies will become fewer and fewer, until in the end, she is alone.

The difference between the two options lies in the size of the pattern in the chest.

With a long sigh, Milda's face was full of loss: "Unlike me, not only did I offend you, but I also caused Alar to lose his life, and I almost went to heaven myself." Looking back now, I feel ashamed. ”

How did Link pick up this?

After thinking about it for a while, he could only comfort: "Everyone will make mistakes, just change it." ”

Milda smiled again: "You see, you always make the right choice. When you first came in, I was angry at what you had done, and I couldn't help but laugh at it, even though I knew it wasn't right, but I just couldn't help it. But you didn't, I questioned you at the beginning, and you finally saved me. I just mocked you, and you're still comforting me, and I'm curious, don't you have a personal emotion in your heart? ”

Link frowned slightly, he didn't want to discuss these things with Milda: "Your Highness, you didn't call me just to say this...... Right? ”

He almost uttered the word ''.

Seeing him like this, a smile became deeper on Milda's face: "It seems that you still have emotions, but you just disdain to worry about this little girl of mine." Well, I'm not going to talk nonsense, yes, I think you are a very reliable ally and deserves a lot of support from our clan. ”

Link frowned, he didn't expect this to be the result.

"Surprised, huh?"

"It was unexpected." The little girl was suddenly so sensible that one wondered if it was true.

Milda whispered, "My mother told me that if our people want to survive forever, they must have a truly reliable ally. And the real reliable allies are not those who are dead set on you, because such people do not exist at all, but those who can achieve mutual benefit in cooperation. Because that's the only way to work together for a long time, and that's who you are. ”

Cooperation between races has never been unilateral, and even if there is, it will inevitably give rise to dissent over time.

Link nodded in approval, "Your mother is very wise. ”

Milda's face also showed a little pride at the mention of her mother, and she continued, "You're a perfect magician, I've heard you spend most of your days studying magic, right?" ”

"That's true."

Milda smiled: "May I say bluntly, the magic of the human race may have some characteristics, but overall, it is crude, you don't even have a complete level 8 magic book, here, even if you have perfect magic talent, you can only stop at level 7." ”

Link sensed something, straightened up, and looked at Milda seriously.

Milda also looked at him, she sat up straight, the corners of her lips curled slightly, and said with a smile: "So, I invite you to go to Dawn Island, there is a magic library on the island, which records the magical knowledge accumulated by our clan for thousands of years. You can stay there when you have time...... Three months. ”

This time, Link's heart was truly moved, his eyes lit up, and he got up and saluted Milda, "I feel very honored. ”

Milda took out another magic book: "Freedom and Puppets, the work of the legendary magician Raphael, our people 1,000 years ago, is a masterpiece of puppet intelligence, you may need it. ”

Link was overjoyed, took the magic book and rolled it a few times, only to feel that his eyes were full of exquisite sentences, and he was even more happy in his heart, but he was a little puzzled: "Your Highness, why do you have so many magic books with you?" ”

Milda smiled and said, "Actually, I brought a small library full of books copied by magic. ”

Link listened with envy, the high elves are worthy of being a magic race, their magic knowledge is as deep as the abyss, not to mention, the popularity of this magic book is probably far beyond that of the human race.

Seeing him like this, Milda covered her mouth and smiled: "Mr. Link, it's a pity that you are not a member of our clan, otherwise you would definitely become one of the greatest magicians in the history of our clan." ”

Link just listened, the impossible, he never thought about it. Now that he got the magic book, he was already in a hurry to study it, and after patiently telling Milda to pay attention to his body, he took the magic book and prepared to leave.

Seeing him like this, Milda finally said, "I have about ten more books about puppets here, and you can exchange them with me when you have finished reading them." I have asked my clan to report on Dawn Island on my behalf, so I will be here to recuperate during this time. ”

This feeling is good, Link thanked him again, and then he couldn't stay any longer, said goodbye, turned around and hurried away.

Milda got out of bed and walked out onto the balcony next to the bed, watching Link go all the way.

She sighed again in her heart: "It's a pity, you're not a high elf." (To be continued.) )
