Chapter 373: Ellie Growing Up A sword comes west
On July 7, the white-shirted Hafdan was defeated, not only the elite were killed, but even he was captured by the Britannian army. ∷∷,
Ivar the Boneless has repeatedly tried to rescue him, but has never been successful. Knowing that nothing could be done, the Norman chieftain, who was embarrassed, simply gave up the rescue, and instead turned to fight the Britannian navy.
On 13 July, Ivar used a deviant division to distract Governor Allen, while he himself led a large army across the North Sea and forced his way into the Gulf of Forth. The Duke of Scotland was left alone, and England was plunged into a civil war and could not be rescued. As a last resort, the Archduke of Scotland had no choice but to ask Governor Allen for help.
In fact, when Governor Allen was chasing the deviant division in the North Sea, he already vaguely felt that something was wrong, and when he heard the Scottish plea for help, he immediately came to his senses and led his army back.
It's just that it's too late, and despite Governor Allen's starry night, the cunning Boneless Man has already led an army of 70,000 to bypass Buchen and reach the Minchi Strait. The Duke of Scotland had no choice but to fight head-on. The result speaks for itself, and despite being a defensive battle, the Duke of Scotland was still defeated and lost. In just a few days, even the capital Hebrides was lost.
The Duke himself and his army retreated again and again, until they retreated to Argyl and barely gained a foothold. The Norman pirates burned and plundered the Hebrides, and a good Scottish capital was almost white after three days of passing through the pirates' rope.
As soon as this news came out, the whole of Britannia was shocked. Not only are the Scottish aristocracy at risk, but the nobility elsewhere is even more preoccupied. Duke Allen couldn't, so he had to reluctantly suppress the commotion of the nobles first, and instead seek a decisive battle with the boneless.
Originally, Duke William easily defeated the white shirt, which made the nobles swell their confidence, after all, what a Norman barbarian could do, there was no reason why they couldn't do it with pure blood. However, the cruel reality easily shattered the illusions of the nobles, and the nobles, who began to calm down after panicking, began to think about other things.
Like what...... Maybe you can be a leading party?
Of course, it's always too early to decide. It's just that people's hearts shook for a while, and it still gave Governor Allen a headache. His Excellency the Governor cursed these short-sighted country nobles in his heart at the same time. On the other hand, he ordered his men to move forward at full speed and try to reach the Hebrides as soon as possible.
The war clouds were thick on the North Sea, and there was a slaughter.
On July 18, after getting rid of the last of the pursuers. Sinloth and his party finally arrived safely in Port Rennes. As the capital of Britania and the lair of Governor Allen, Port Rennes naturally has a defense. If the boneless dares to bite, they will surely break their big teeth here.
Everyone was somewhat relieved, but for someone. This is only the beginning of the disaster.
……
Being at sea for so long is really depressing. As soon as the ship arrived at the port, Sinloth couldn't wait to disembark. Despite being the most visible target in the fleet, the Tirpitz was unharmed by the successive battles.
After handing over the ship's supplies to a puffing Charlie, Sinlos left the harbor happily with Nanorka and Tirpitz. Ruthlessly, William, who needed to put the fleet in order, and Louie, who played a role in the nobles, were left in the harbor.
William and Louie looked at each other and smiled wryly.
Although the future of the war between His Excellency the Doge and the Normans is uncertain, William's victory is still so eye-catching in the chaotic battlefield. The victory in this battle was a very important political capital for both William and Louie. But...... I really envy the chic of Sinloth.
Madame Rosa shook her feather fan and said goodbye to the two aspiring youths.
……
The human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant, and there are always people who think that they are destined to return. I want to become the Great Demon King and rule the world. However, Sinloth has no interest in this, so let Ivar and Governor Allen break their heads. Rather than those boring wars, it's more interesting to hurry back to the manor and bully Ellie.
Sinloth was excited, and Tirpitz was even more so. Since being transformed by Nanorca, she has gained the ability to leave the hull. Although she still couldn't get too far away, and her strength would weaken as she got away, she was much better than she used to be trapped in the ship.
Tirpitz was as happy as a fawn, and she looked curiously at everything in front of her. Everything in front of her was so interesting and strange to her. The world was so different from the world she was in. But what really excites Tirbitz is that it's Sinloth's world.
He was under the same sky, breathing the same air, and seeing the same scenery. Does that mean that she is closer to Sinloth?
"Charulu, what is this ......?"
"Wow, that's weird...... I've never seen it in the town guard before. ”
"Hey, hey, this is ......"
On the way from the port to the estate, Tirpitz was like a curious baby. She never stopped marveling. As for the girl's cute reaction, Xinluo gave 120,000 points of patience. No matter how idiotic the questions she asks, they will be answered one by one. In a trance, it felt as if time had gone back many years ago. At that time, the elves were still a group of bears who could no longer bear bear girls...... Pinghai, Ninghai, Yixian, Liaoning......
Well, why do you think of the deep-sea fleet?
Sinloth himself thought it was quite strange, although because of the addition of the DLC in the later stage, the Deep Sea Fleet also became a playable role. But compared to other ship elves who have been with each other for a long time, the deep sea fleet is still separated by a layer. And the deep sea elf who always wears a big hat and has a blank face is notoriously taciturn......
It's just that what do you want to do so much.
With a smile on his face, Cynroth gently let go of the strange thought in his head. The port is located at some distance from Madame Rosa's estate. But as was customary, Sinlos still didn't ride in the carriage. Although I can't wait to see if Ellie's little fool is fat, the opportunity to wander the streets with Tirbitz and Nanorka is really rare.
The only pity is that Rennes City is always on semi-alert, and the flow of people is much thinner than in the past, which always gives people a sense of depression that the mountain rain is about to come.
……
"Boom ......"
Poor Ellie covered her eyes and crouched in the corner and cried like a tearful man. In any case, under the subtle influence, Ellie has become accustomed to the three views of pure Aedin. Then I was poured dozens of works like "The Domineering Prince Falls in Love with Me" by a certain monster in one go, which still made Ellie feel the pain of the collapse of the three views.
To re-wash a rotten girl into a normal girl's heart is simply a torture like peeling off the skin and pulling the bones.
And a monster didn't realize it. With the comfort of the violence, Alice lay lazily on the chair. Seeing Ellie's useless appearance, Alice frowned slightly. After thinking about it for a moment, he sighed lightly. The slender palm sliced into the void again. After a bit of fumbling, a small and cute crystal bottle appeared in Alice's hand.
"That's why I hate having kids the most......"
She complained, but Alice managed to squeeze out a smile. She patted Ellie's little golden head and said as gently as possible, "Little girl, don't cry, okay." I'll give you this, it's very sweet. ”
The sobbing Ellie sniffed, but still didn't look up.
The corners of Alice's mouth twitched, there were only six people in the world who dared to treat her with such an attitude. Three of them were dead and couldn't die anymore, and one stayed in the Swamp forever. And the remaining two people, one is her rival from childhood to adulthood. And the last one ...... It's her wife.
I didn't expect there to be another one now.
"I hate children the most."
Even if I don't want to, I still have to listen to my wife's words. However, for Alice, how to gently comfort a crying bear child is really an extremely difficult problem. After thinking about it for a long time, the monster gave up on using words, and chose to use the simplest and clearest form of violence.
Alice pinched Ellie's chin. Lifted the head of the little girl who was making a fuss. The monster flicked its fingers, shook the cork off the bottle, and then poured the clear liquid from the bottle into Ellie's mouth without hesitation.
"Whew!"
The clear liquid doesn't know exactly what it is, and it doesn't seem to have the slightest impurity. And its flavor is as Alice says, with a hint of refreshing sweetness. It's just that Alice's movements are too rough, and Alice swallows the liquid heavily, but her eyes have begun to turn in circles.
"Good boy, good boy, eat all the light, eat all the light. Otherwise, I'll throw you into the Tentacle Forest and feed the tentacles......"
Alice slapped Ellie's back and sang an old ballad softly. The long snake body wriggled and coiled into a snake formation. Alice carefully held the little one in her arms, and her indifferent face began to show a little maternal brilliance.
"Eat it all. Eat it all...... Well? ”
At this moment, Alice's ears moved slightly, and her keen five senses allowed her to capture something accurately. Alice rolled her eyes, put the girl in her arms on the bed, and then the whole person escaped into the void.
"Little girl, according to our agreement. You can't tell anyone about me. ”
Ellie struggled to pull out the bottle from her mouth, looking very aggrieved.
……
"Ellie, I'm back. I bought your favorite ...... Ellie?! ”
By the time Sinloth returned to the manor with two girls and large bags of things, it was already late afternoon. He must have been away for so long, and the little one must have been very unhappy. I wanted to buy something to comfort Ellie, but when Cinnos opened the door, he saw a stupid girl crying into tears.
The smile that had bloomed on Cinnroth's face froze.
"Ah, Daddy......"
Ellie, who was secretly crying, looked very surprised, and she panicked and hid a bottle behind her, but forgot to hide the tears on Baozi's face. The little one probably cried for a long time, and his face was a mess, almost like a poor Assasin.
"I'm sorry, Ellie."
Even with a thousand words, Sinloth couldn't say a word at this time. A ten-year-old girl was in need of her parents, and he left her alone in Rennes for nearly two months at once. Although it is said that there is the company of Claude and Christina, the girl will always feel lonely.
"It's okay, I'm back, everything will be fine......"
Xinlos wiped the tears from her face for Ellie, and Ellie's eyes widened, looking a little surprised and a little happy. After being stunned for a long time, Ellie threw herself into Cynloth's arms and burst into tears.
"Uh, Daddy...... Ellie can't get married...... Woo......"
"It's okay, it's okay, it's all with me."
Xinluo was extremely distressed, but he could only comfort her softly. The Count soothed his daughter, his eyes inadvertently scanning the bottle that Ellie had hidden behind her. I don't know what was in the bottle, and now all that was left was a few droplets. But judging from the crystal clear and ingenious workmanship and shape of the bottle, it is clear that the bottle is not ordinary.
Demon King Baby Bottle: A magical liquid mixed with the purest Demon King's blood, combined with Life Spring Water, Moon Well Water, and World Tree Sap, which can instantly replenish all kinds of nutrients and magic needed for the development of monster larvae, and lay a good foundation for future development. It's just that because the above components are extremely cherished in the Demon Realm, especially the blood of the Demon King, this strange liquid is probably only enjoyed by the topmost monster larvae.
Note: The liquid is sweet and delicious.
Sinloth narrowed his eyes.
When is this...... Isabelle?
……
The black-haired girl opened her eyes in confusion, she tried to move her body, but it felt like it was filled with lead, and she couldn't move at all. But that's not all......
The girl stretched out her palm with difficulty, and watched as the palm, which was obviously a few sizes smaller, fell into chaos.
How did I get smaller...... No, how do I know I'm getting smaller...... Who the hell am I...... Can't remember...... Memory, no more......
Wait, Joshua.
My name is Joshua!
After a lot of hard work, the girl finally remembered her name, but that was all there was to it. No matter how she recalled, there was always a blank in her mind. She felt as if she had lost something incomparably precious, and her brain was constantly alerting her to get out of here and out of this world immediately.
But she didn't understand, she didn't know what she was supposed to do. In any case, she is still just a sick and weak girl who has just woken up.
At this moment, the wooden door not far away was gently pushed open. In the backlight, Joshua couldn't see the man's face for a moment. And the body that had just recovered from a long illness made her brain dizzy for a while, and she almost fainted.
"Awake? Ah, don't be reckless...... It's okay, I won't hurt you. The voice of the visitor was unusually gentle, and under the influence of the gentle female voice, the fear and uneasiness in Joshua's heart seemed to subside a little, "My name is Reinhardt, you can call me Levi...... Hey? ”
Before the woman could finish speaking, Joshua had lost consciousness again.
"What a fragile child, alas...... This damn world! Damn war! (To be continued.) )
ps: This book is basically not harmonious, and the noodles have worked hard to revise it...... But as you know, I won't say anything more here. Sometimes it's really frustrating, but as long as the book isn't in harmony, the noodles will always be updated.
