Chapter 16: Princess Angelina
I shook my head and said, "No, I don't have to go in, but someone asked me to send a letter to the princess. This, General Thor can help! ”
I know I don't help Thor much, but at this time I can only be cheeky and beg him. As the saying goes, if a tree has no skin, it will definitely die, and if a person has no face, the world is invincible!
Thor frowned slightly, but nodded in agreement. Then he took me straight to the luxurious castle. At this time, there were more and more guards here, and in the end, there were even several times more people standing guard than in other places, and this was no longer a princess's dormitory, but was about to become a prison. May I ask you, brothers, are you protecting the princess? Or do you want to take care of the princess?
Seeing Thor approaching, a clever soldier immediately came over, first with a standard knightly etiquette, and then asked, "My Excellency, dear general, may I do anything for you?" ”
Thor nodded, then asked, "How's the princess doing?" ”
The soldier said helplessly, "The princess is in a terrible condition, she has been in a state of fright since she was last threatened, and now the princess is very weak, she looks very haggard, and she has not thought about tea and dinner lately, and is on the verge of collapse." ”
This little soldier knows everything about Thor, and I also borrowed the light to learn about the princess's current situation, according to what he said, the princess's situation is indeed very bad.
Suddenly, Thor turned to me and said, "Your Excellency, you have heard, the princess is in a bad situation, do you think you can give the letter to the maidservant and ask the maidservant to send it in?" ”
I know that Thor is afraid of the king's investigation, but since I have promised someone, I must deliver the letter to her in person to be relieved that she is injured. Besides, I'm going to see Princess Angelina with my own eyes before I can tell the magic inheritor the truth. Then I said, "I am sorry, Your Excellency, but I must deliver the letter to the princess myself." So let's tell the maid to spread the word that a magician from afar who claims to be a friend of the princess and has brought a letter of condolence. Let's see if the princess is willing to come out and accept the letter, and if the princess is not, then we will leave immediately, shall we?" ”
Instead of answering my question, Thor asked me, "Friend of the princess?" Enchanter? ”
I know Thor is a higher-level NPC, so it's no surprise that he would ask this question. So he nodded and said, "Yes, it's a rather down-and-out magician." He had been helped by the princess when he was destitute, and this time he heard that the princess had been intimidated and wanted to come to visit, but when the royal city was under martial law, he was afraid of causing trouble, so he entrusted me to send a letter of condolence to the princess. The princess is kind-hearted and beautiful and generous, which is the goal of all men, Your Excellency, I think you understand. ”
I made an excuse at random, and now I just hope that the princess will understand what this means, and that the inheritor of magic will carry a lot of weight to the princess, otherwise I may have to run away in vain this time.
Thor nodded suddenly, and then called the maidservant and gave me two instructions, and stood here with me and waited. It didn't take long for the maidservant girl to help the weak Princess Angelina come out, and then I saw clearly, I will go, this is not a princess, this is an angel!
The long golden hair is casually draped, the snow-white skin is inlaid with beautiful facial features, the sky-blue eyes seem to flash with a trace of excitement, the snow-white neck hangs a ruby necklace, reflecting her skin is a little pale and bloodless, a snow-white long dress, reminds me of the ethereal and pure beauty of the Virgin Mary, if she has a pair of wings at this time, then I am willing to go to hell, just to be able to see this beautiful angel again.
Just talking......
The princess was very excited when she saw me and Thor, stretched out her fingers and gently lifted the hem of her skirt, and blessed Thor's body slightly, and her pleasant and smart voice immediately came: "Your Excellency General, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
Thor also performed the etiquette of a knight, and said, "I am sorry, beautiful princess, it was my duty to let you be frightened, and I should not have come here to disturb you this time, but an adventurer said that there are some things that must be handed over to you personally." Hope you can receive him. ”
The princess nodded with a smile: "I really appreciate the hard work of the general guarding the royal city and worrying about Angelina." No matter who they are, they are all the people of the royal city, and although I am a princess, I am equal to all living beings. May I ask where is the adventurer you are talking about? ”
Thor immediately staggered a step to reveal me standing on the sidelines waiting, and when she saw me, the princess was still gently lifting the hem of her skirt, and I just nodded in return. I'm not a knight, I'm not a soldier of the Empire, and even though I'm a princess, there's no need to grovel.
The princess said, "Your Excellency, Distinguished Adventurer, I heard that you have a letter that you want to give to Angelina, where did you receive it?" ”
I only said that I met him by chance, and he knew that I was coming to the royal city, so he asked me for help. Then I took the letter out of the package and handed it to the princess with both hands. Although the other party is just an NPC, Thor is still watching from the side, which is somewhat interesting.
After Angelina saw the pattern on the letter, the expression on her face instantly became tender, as if she was looking at something she had been looking forward to for a long time, and took the letter with slightly trembling hands, holding it in her arms as if she was about to cry. Frightened, I immediately took a step back, oh mom, it's not my fault, I just gave a letter, isn't this princess a little overreacting?
Thor also frowned slightly, and didn't seem to understand why the princess would react like this. After a slight sob, the princess looked up and said to me, "Thank you, dear Adventurer, for your kindness Angelina will always be remembered, please wait, I would like to reply to him." ”
I nodded, indicating that I would wait. Then the princess went into the room with her maid, and I guess she could reply to me when she had read it. I thought she would ask me to bring a message to the Magic Inheritor at most, but I didn't expect a reply. Why would the inheritor of magic, who is clearly a suspect, send a letter to the princess? Why did the princess react like this when she saw it? Why did the king keep an eye on Angelina, definitely not just because it was as simple as marrying Angelina, right? It seems that there are a lot of things I can't think of.
Not long after, the princess came out again, and this time she very respectfully handed me a letter, and thanked me once again for sending it to her. I looked at Thor suspiciously, but Thor didn't have any objection to me taking the princess's letter, maybe Thor just didn't want to make trouble for himself, and at this time, he just had to do his part. The less you know about royal matters, the better.
There was no obstacle when we left, but after leaving the palace, Thor didn't say anything, and took me back to the castle tower in silence. But just as I was about to ride back to camp in the Seren Mountains, Thor suddenly said to me, "I don't know who you've met, but brave adventurer, I warn you that it's better not to get involved in royal affairs." ”
I knew that Thor was reminding me from the bottom of my heart at this time. So I nodded and said thank you, and headed straight for the Seren Mountains with the letter. The doubts in my mind may only be answered by the inheritors of magic who are waiting for me to return in the Seren Mountains.
Along the way, I met the people who escorted Babaya back, and it can be seen that Thor's speed is still quite high. This time I didn't go back to the camp, but went straight to the Seren Mountains, followed the path directly into the Seren Mountains, followed the marks I had made, and just where I found the magic circle, the black-robed magician was sitting under the tree waiting for me. This guy is really honest, he said that he was waiting for me here, so he wasn't afraid of being attacked by someone?
Damn, he is a gold-level NPC and a magician, who is impatient enough to dare to sneak attack him?
I despised myself for a moment, and stepped forward. The magic inheritor didn't even raise his head, and said directly, "I didn't expect you to come back so soon, I thought I would have to wait a little longer." ”
Damn, at first glance, it's a master of masters, just listen to the sound of me walking and know it's me. When will I get to this level? Looking forward to it......
I strode over to the Magic Inheritor, sat down, leaned against the tree behind me, and handed him the letter in the package, "Alas, buddy, the beautiful princess has written back to you." ”
He didn't seem surprised at all, took the letter, opened it, looked at it, and then just waved his hand slightly, and a flame suddenly appeared, burning the letter to ashes. Damn, what kind of work is this? You can go to the Spring Festival Gala! Do you want to be so?
I'm standing up to him, maybe he'll give me an explanation. Suddenly, he turned his head, took off his wide hat, revealed a heroic face, and said to me, "Thank you! ”
Ding~ System Prompt: Congratulations on completing the [Sudden Request] (Unique) quest, gaining 5,000 experience points, 20 silver coins, and 300 reputation points.
Damn, it's worthy of being a gold-level NPC, and it's the same task of running errands, but the reward is more than Thor's. It can be seen that this guy is also a rich man. It's just that I didn't expect that hidden under the robe was actually a young and handsome face, which was not at all the scrawny old man image I imagined. And his sky-blue eyes are very similar to Miles's, which makes me wonder if he is Miles' brother. Or is it the same for all male NPCs in the game? In that case, programmers all over the world just need to paste and copy when setting up the character NPC. It's so convenient!
