Chapter 0269 - Prancing Horse Inn (1)

In the last interstellar world, Anne killed the poor native god Emon and almost the entire Kpru sector in a siege, and after the calamity was over, she once again used the space gems to set foot on her way home.

This time, she finally got her wish and returned to the Valoran world that she dreamed of!

It's just a pity that the Valoran she arrived at for the first time was actually a Valoran in another parallel plane? Then, under the reminder of her little bear Tibbs, Anne also rescued a little girl named Daisy in time, and by the way, she also taught another little girl named Anne in that parallel world how to use magic correctly! Before leaving, he also gave the right party some important relevant knowledge, so as not to let the other party lose his face as the head of Anne and the queen?

When she thinks of herself in that parallel world, Anne feels a little like laughing! Who is she? How could the Flame Queen not be able to control even the basic power of flames? That's absolutely non-existent!

And then it's more complicated......

In the Valoran world of that parallel plane, she found those gods who were good at shuttling between different planes and 'negotiated' well!

After that, she finally got her wish and used the slightest bond with the original world in her body, plus the knowledge obtained by blackmail, to return to her hometown, back to her mage home in the gray order of voodoo land......

Then, the most surprising and puzzling thing for Anne was that although she had been wandering around several worlds for a long time, when she finally returned to her home, desperately crying and shouting and threw herself into the arms of her mother Amoline, she was torn apart by the other party's fierce pinching of her ears?!

At first, little Anne herself even thought that she must have not been back for a long time, which made her mother angry or something.

But how could she have thought that then, after she had carefully talked tentatively with Amoline's mother for a while, she was surprised to discover something even more miraculous: her mother, Amoline, told her that she had just been out for an afternoon?

However, if she calculated carefully, the time spent hanging out outside has been about two years since New York! Is the world of the Infinite Plane really that magical? Even the speed of time is different?

In the end, Anne didn't want to remember what happened next......

She even wondered if the Voodoo land she had returned to was also a parallel world. Then, her Amorien mother, maybe it's also a fake, someone else's mother?!

Because, Anne remembers it very well now! On the evening of her return, when the family began to gather together and have a happy dinner, Anne recounted her experience to her father, Gregory, and her mother, Amoline, while she was happy.

For example: through a magical portal, I went to a magical place called Earth, went to school for a while, beat up a group of evil aliens and stole a few Infinity Stones, etc.; Then, then he went to the world of Azeroth, and accepted a group of fire elementals as subordinates, and finally became the cute master of a powerful force? In the end, he inexplicably ran to a great interstellar era, and became the head of the entire Kpru Star District, with countless powerful fleets and soldiers under his command, and the population of the Federation has reached hundreds of billions and so on!

That's it, Anne happily shared her own stories while eating the familiar dinner made by her mother, and then, in exchange, the reward was just a wooden spoon from her mother Amorien on her head?!

At that time, her mother Amorien didn't believe her at all? And told her to hurry up and eat and daydream less?!

"Don't mess around, little Annie! Hurry up to eat, and then, take an early shower and get ready to go to sleep. ”

This is what her mother Amorien said after giving Anne a spoon to her head!

Then, in order to prove that she was not talking nonsense, Anne, who was very angry, took out a large number of strange things in the dining room of her castle on the spot.

For example: the scepter of the evil god Loki, the gem that can control time, the cosmic cube (space gem) that she uses to travel between different worlds and planes, and a large number of standard inventory firearms and ammunition of the Hero Federation, and even ...... A super big Ivan with three handstand funnel logos printed on it?!

Of course, at that time, when little Anne found out that she had taken out something dangerous by mistake, she immediately reached out again and put away the big round dick again.

And then there was a big turn! Her parents seemed to believe her words, but at the same time, she also found that these two old cultivators no longer cared about her after seeing these things!

After the two couples were surprised, Mr. Gregory, the mystic, snatched the scepter, an artifact that was said to be able to control the minds of living beings, and then he happily ran to the laboratory to study it seriously......

And the shadow witch Amorien was not far behind, her eyes lit up with the fastest speed in her life, and she directly snatched the time gem that was said to be able to lock time and keep people young forever! Then, after casually telling little Anne to go to the shower and sleep early, she also plunged headlong into her Shadow Alchemy Workshop and disappeared......

Until the evening of the next day, Anne did not see her two unscrupulous fathers and mothers out of their respective laboratories again!

The two of them, after discovering what they were interested in, had completely forgotten that there was a daughter like Annie......

So, the next night, Anne was left alone in the deserted castle called home, eating the bland cheese and bread that the servants had brought her.

The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, and after feeling that she had been seriously snubbed, Anne was angry, she once again used the space gem to open a portal at random, and directly ran away from home in anger!

At the same time, she secretly made a decision in her heart: in a short time, she would never go back to see those two unscrupulous parents! Absolutely not! She's going to run outside and not come back for years, unless they beg to go back!

Hum! She missed them so much before, but as a result, in their eyes, she was not as important as two broken stones? Could it be that she herself was really picked up by them from the wild?

……

So, after passing through the portal of the Space Gem, Little Anne came here, outside the gates of this town that seemed a little backward! Through the sign on the wooden sign at the intersection of this town in front of her, she knew that its name seemed to be called Bray Town?

It's a very backward place......

Here, a bit like the Caribbean world she'd been to before? At most, it seems, is it the level of the medieval era?

Because, from the dirty and muddy cobblestone paths and dark kerosene street lamps, she can see that the technology of this world should not be very good? Basically, it's still the era when communication relied on roaring, security relied on dogs, and traffic relied on two legs?

Of course, Anne is also sure that this world is definitely not on any earth, nor is it any world she has ever been to!

Because Anne could easily tell from the faint information of the moon and other stars in the sky!

After experiencing several worlds, she has become proficient in judging whether the place she is in is a world she has been to based on the trajectory of the stars or stars, etc.

Moreover, when she was in the interstellar world, during the time she spent on Haven Star, she had learned deeply how to be a qualified fleet commander!

It's just that she just studied for a while and then quickly gave up......

After all, in the interstellar world, there is so much to learn as a qualified captain!

Those "Electronic Warfare Theory", "Target Recognition", "Star Map Mapping", "Force Field Theory", "Stealth Theory", "Shield Management" and so on seem too much and boring, and they are not interesting at all!

Anne herself barely read a little basic knowledge about the mapping of star maps and determining the location, and she no longer had the mood and perseverance to look at the rest.

"It's annoying! Tibbs ...... The streets here are really dirty! ”

Grabbing Tibbs her bear in one hand and carefully holding the corner of her long ornate dress in the other, Anne wandered casually around this dimly lit town that resembled the medieval style of Earth.

From time to time some passers-by in shabby linen robes passed by drunken drunks, and then they looked at little Anne with that look of surprise and a little fear, and even a passing two-wheeled carriage stopped to make way for her.

Judging by Anne's clothes, they thought that this little girl was the child of some aristocratic family passing by, so no one dared to come up casually to talk or even do some bad things.

"It's annoying!"

Looking at the narrow streets where there are fewer and fewer pedestrians, the sky is getting darker and darker, and it seems that there is a tendency to prepare for heavy rain?

So, Anne felt it was important for her to find a place to rest and eat before it started to rain!

Now, she ran away from home just because she was angry, and she doesn't plan to do that kind of thing to take in her younger brother and grab someone else's house to live in! After all, no matter how you say it, she just came out to relax, not to fight.

Anne had already discovered that the magical elements in this world were unusually rich, and there must be some powerful existence? Therefore, she is not ready to do things too early until she has figured out what is going on in this world.

She herself, but she is a well-behaved, beautiful, kind and cute little Lori!

(…… )

(Tibbs's eyes seemed to light up suddenly, and then, after thinking about it, he forcibly held back, not daring to jump out at this time and continue to do those things like spitting, at this time, it is not a good choice to offend his own little master.) )

After walking around for a while, Anne found that this Bray town is actually not big, and there are not many houses, so it is estimated that there are only a thousand people? So, she quickly walked in front of a large two-story house.

Beyond its gates, except for a few stinking horses tied to the stables on the other side, there was only a dim kerosene lamp, which hung beside the sign carved with a white prancing horse.

"Well, it seems like that's the only place to go......"

Anne didn't really like to come to this kind of place that looked dirty and messy, and she had been to the bar with the broken pot before, and of course she knew that there must be nothing good to eat in this kind of place!

In fact, in this backward world, there must be nothing good to eat, and it is not even far inferior to those buffets in their federal army canteens, right?

However, after looking up at the darkening sky and the dark clouds above her that had begun to fall a little raindrop, she could only sigh softly and prepare to push open the wooden door and enter.

Now there are not too many choices, this town, it seems, is just this hotel! She can only make up for the night here temporarily, otherwise, what else can she do......

Pouting, Anne could only try to avoid the small puddles of sewage on the ground, and walked briskly to the wooden door of the Prancing Horse Inn, then stood on tiptoe, looked through the crack in the door, and then stretched out her thin white index finger, slammed the door, pushed open the somewhat tattered wooden door, and walked in.

As soon as she took two steps in, Anne wrinkled her cute little nose in embarrassment.

Although it was obviously much better than the dark and damp streets outside, she still didn't like the noisy and humid environment here!

Moreover, the bad uncles who were drinking, the foul smell of their bodies mixed with the smell of alcohol, made her feel very uncomfortable!

It's been a long time since she's been in such a terrible environment! To be honest, this harsh environment seems to be far worse than the toilet in the Führer's mansion above her Hai Wenxing?

Ay...... It's annoying......

She didn't have much choice, so she had to give herself a force field to isolate harmful gases for the first time, and then reluctantly walked towards the bar.

"Hey! Do you have anything to eat here to sell?! ”

Holding her bear, Anne stood in front of the bar and asked the balding boss who was wiping glasses and was still cleanly dressed.

After hearing that a woman's crisp voice would sound in this bar, the people around who were drinking subconsciously stopped for a while, and then they looked towards the bar.

“……”

When they realized that it was actually just a little girl, and that it seemed to be the daughter of some aristocratic family, they continued to turn back and talk loudly about the topics they had been interested in.

"Oh! Good evening, dear little guests! Excuse me, do you have anything to do? ”

At this time, the innkeeper who heard the voice poked his head out of the way, and when he saw a cute blonde girl standing in front of the bar, he frowned slightly in surprise and asked.

After looking at the cute and well-behaved little girl in front of him, and then looking at the clothes on the other party and the kind of momentum that only those noble lords had ever seen, the innkeeper asked a little nervously.

He is well-informed, and he can see at a glance that this little girl is definitely not simple! The arrogance and majesty of the other party that penetrates into the bones is by no means something that a small businessman or a small nobleman can have.

"I'm hungry! Do you have anything to eat here? Also, remember to prepare a clean room for me right away! ”

Looking at the still noisy surroundings, the messy adults and drunkards, little Anne commanded impatiently in a commanding tone.

In the land of voodoo, she was so angry with her father and mother's performance that she just wanted to eat casually and then quickly get a good night's sleep, and if there was anything, she had to wait until dawn!

"Delicious? When, of course there is! ”

"The room was no problem either! On the second floor we also have a room with the best, most comfortable and cleanest, especially for a distinguished little lady like you! ”

After choking on the other party's tone for a while, the innkeeper reacted and quickly flattered.

"But, excuse me...... What about your family or entourage? Why don't I see them? ”

Whether it's food or housing, you have to pay for it!

So, after saying that, the innkeeper quickly craned his neck and looked out the door, as if to find the family or the escort who was following the little girl, or something, perhaps, they were now setting up the carriage outside?

"Humph! I'm actually coming alone! You'd better not mention any family to me right now! ”

Little Anne is still angry with her unscrupulous parents! Now she is going out to relax alone, and whoever mentions her family to her, she will be in a hurry with whom!

She doesn't have those two parents who don't care about their daughters!

"Uh...... Well, I'm sorry, honored guest, but I have to pay for food and accommodation in this small shop, so ......"

Rubbing his hands, the boss felt a little embarrassed.

The one in front of her turned out to be a little girl from a wary family? That's not easy...... Looking at the other party's appearance, I don't want to have money with me, right?

However, he didn't seem to have heard of a little girl with such a temperament in Bray Town, did he? Whether it's the mayor's house, or the richest of the Grande merchants? So, where exactly did she come from?

"Money?!"

Little Anne was stunned, and after hearing the other party talk about it, she suddenly remembered that it seemed that eating out did have to pay!

It's just that since the world of Azeroth, she hasn't paid for food for a long, long time! Whether it's in the Flame Palace or in the Federation of Heroes, whatever she wants to eat, someone will naturally find a way to get it for herself, and it's free.

"You mean money, it's gold, right? Here! Here you go! That's enough, right? ”

Bite...... Dingdingding......

Anne reached into her pocket, dug it in, and with a casual flick of her hand, a crisp and pleasant clash of gold coins rang out on the wooden bar of the Prancing Horse innkeeper.

Little Anne has long been short of gold!

Besides, how could the Führer Anne, who now owns the entire Kprustar District, be golden? As long as she wants, she can give a random order, and the countless large transport ships of the Federal Mining Group will definitely bring enough weight of gold to their Führer!

And as much as you want! No matter how many tons it is, they can get it for her within ten working days!

If it's on a single planet, something like gold might really be a rare and precious metal.

However, if you put it in the entire Kpru, gold, it is just an ordinary metal element on the periodic table!

It can really be said that there are as many as there are, and these industrial metals are at least calculated by tons!

As long as their Führer Anne gives an order, even if an entire planet is made of gold, they can find it and drag it to the capital sector!

In fact, not to mention gold, even if it is other more precious minerals or diamonds and gemstones, their federal mining can be shipped in units of 10,000 tons!

"It's ...... Gold, gold coins?! ”

Seeing the round, golden and circled gold coins on his bar, the boss's eyes suddenly widened! Then, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he instantly pulled all these cute and charming gadgets into his pocket and packed them.

"Distinguished guests, just look at it! I'll ask my hostess to cook you the most delicious and exquisite dinner right away! ”

The heavy gold pressed his pockets down, and the boss, who was in a good mood, hurriedly shouted to his wife in the back kitchen, wanting the other party to move faster, so as not to make their guests wait too long.

“……”

"I haven't seen it just now, have I?"

"Hey...... A little girl from a rich family? ”

At the same time, the other people in the inn also stared at each other, stopped drinking and bragging, and looked at the little girl standing in front of the bar.

At this moment, the atmosphere of the originally lively hotel instantly became weird.

They did not hide the greedy eyes on their faces, and seemed to be locking on the little girl's pocket, as if they were studying: how many of those golden lovely things were in there?

If they can keep it for themselves......

"Humph! What to see! If you look at it again, be careful that I burn you all! ”

Anne didn't have time to care about what these people were thinking, and now she was in a bad mood, and when she saw those ill-intentioned eyes, she viciously stretched out her little fist, and while raising it and holding it hard, a flame flashed on the white and tender little hand!

"If you don't want to die, stay away from me!"

She's in a bad mood right now, this isn't a joke!

She has been wandering for a few days, but she finally came home and was coldly treated by her unscrupulous parents, and now she is super angry! Whoever dares to provoke her at this critical time, the consequences will definitely be very serious!

"Uh....."

"Ahaha......"

After seeing the strange flame flashing in the little girl's hand, those mercenaries or all kinds of drunkards with bad intentions turned their heads for the first time, and no longer dared to continue to look at the little girl who seemed to be a witch.

After all, the existence of mysterious power is not something that these little mercenaries who are crawling at the bottom can provoke! Besides, the other party's pocket doesn't seem to be very big, and there shouldn't be a few gold coins left, so there's no need to make trouble for this little money.

A rare little girl wizard? At this time?!

"Huh...... Kind of interesting......"

At this time, in the corner, there is a man in a cloak who is wearing a cloak that covers his eyes and half of his face.

On his table was a knight's sword wrapped in a leather scabbard and an oak cup, and when he saw the little girl's movements, he smiled at the corners of his mouth as he continued to pick up his glass and continue to take small sips.

Originally, he was more worried about that little girl's behavior of revealing money, after all, in this bar, there must be no shortage of outlaws and mercenaries who don't want to die for money!

If this little girl leaves this hotel, she will definitely be poisoned by these people, right?

But now, he felt that he was still taking it for granted, in the dangerous place of Middle-earth, if he could go out casually at night, it must not be a simple thing!

No, a little girl who ran out casually turned out to be a wizard who could use magic? When were there so many wizards in Middle-earth?

As far as he knew, weren't the wizards who appeared in Middle-earth those whose abilities were severely limited, or who had been strictly ordered not to casually display their extraordinary powers in front of the mortal race? So, what is the origin of the little girl sitting over there? What is the purpose of appearing here at this time?

For a moment, the man in the cloak couldn't help frowning slightly, and began to think about it crankily......

"Guest! Your sumptuous dinner is here! I promise, you're satisfied! ”

"Also, your room, I've asked my daughter to clean it up for you, may I ask, what else do you have to order?"

While the others were surprised or silent, or secretly pondered some inappropriate thoughts, after more than ten minutes, the innkeeper himself served a large plate of sumptuous dinner and a large cup of warm milk to the little girl, who was sitting alone at a table.

After putting the tableware for the other party, he also half-squatted down, bending his face with a shy face.

"Go away!"

Anne, who was in a bad mood, didn't want to be verbose with this money-eyed weird, so after she glanced at the other party, she waved impatiently and asked him to get away from her.

"Good, good! Guest, please use it slowly! ”

Seeing that the distinguished guest did not like to be disturbed, the boss quickly nodded and took two big steps back, and then accidentally bumped into a short man and caused a burst of exclamations.

"Aha! Four little guests again! Excuse me, do you have anything to need? ”

"If you're looking for a place to spend the night, we've got some comfortable rooms here, especially for you hobbits, and you're satisfied!"

The innkeeper, who seems to have made a lot of money today, is in a good mood now!

So, when he saw four more little hobbits in waterproof cloaks coming in outside the door, his attitude was very good! Today, whether he is a child or a dwarf, he looks particularly pleasing to the eye.

"Excuse me, your name is ......"

"Yamashita, my name is Yamashita!"

Without waiting for his other three buddies to interject, one of the four hobbits was the first to speak.

"Yamashita? Well......"

The boss said in his heart that he had never heard such a strange name, and this must have been made up temporarily, right? It's just that the guests come anyway, as long as there is money to be made, he doesn't want to care about this!

"We're friends of Gandalf, could you please inform him?"

The hobbit had just looked around the inn, and he didn't seem to see the bearded Gandalf, so he hurriedly asked the innkeeper.

Gandalf...... Gandalf ......? ”

"Oh! I think about it, yes, that's right! Is it the strange old man with a long beard, a gray robe, and a pointed hat? ”

After thinking about it for a while, the innkeeper finally remembered that there was such a strange old man named Gandalf who had come to his Prancing Horse Inn.

"It's a pity that I haven't seen him again for almost half a year!"

As the hobbit was about to rejoice, the innkeeper shook his head gloatingly.

That weird old man who likes to hang out at an old age, he really hasn't seen him for a long time, maybe the other party doesn't know where he died for a long time, right?

“……”

The hobbits began to fall silent, and the four of them had worked hard to leave the charr and arrive here, but as a result, the Gandalf who had said that he was here to wait and meet them had not appeared for half a year? What a joke!

"Frodo, what do we do now?!"

When the hobbit called the mountain began to feel down, his other three companions approached and asked in a low voice.

“……”

How does this hobbit who just introduced himself as Yamashita know what to do? He looked around the inn again, but he still couldn't see Gandalf's familiar figure.

"Why don't we eat something and rest......"

"Yes, yes, yes! It's better to have two more drinks? ”

Now that it was raining heavily, it was already completely dark, and they had been on the road for so long, what could they do but stay here in the midst of hunger and poverty?

"That's right, since Gandalf didn't come, we can wait here for a few days for him to try?"

"Great idea! By the way, I found that there seems to be a vacancy over there? ”

Then, one of the chubby hobbits looked at it and felt his eyes light up!

Because, he saw that on the other side, there was a quieter place? Where, it seems, that a beautiful little human girl is eating at a large table? And it's relatively quiet over there, there aren't too many idle people to eavesdrop on their next conversations, and no matter what, they hobbits also have an important mission!

Of course, they are also a little strange in their hearts, wondering why there is such a little human girl in this inn that is obviously a bar? Don't think they're short, but they're definitely much older than this little girl!
