In the past few days, the capital of the kingdom of Ri Estigh has been quiet here......

According to common sense, a magistrate of the kingdom of Ri Yestijah, that is, the fat itinerant envoy who was responsible for guarding the security of the royal capital, was thrown out of a civilian mansion like garbage in full view of everyone, and was seriously injured and paralyzed, this kind of earth-shattering case will definitely shake the royal capital, and those suspects who committed such a major crime will definitely be arrested and brought to justice as soon as possible.

Or at least there should be an investigation and a cordondown of the scene by the relevant authorities of the kingdom?

But......

What makes people feel very strange is that in the past few days from the paralysis of the security envoy to today, the civilian mansion where a certain little girl temporarily lives has never been paid attention to or investigated by the officials or soldiers of the royal capital, just like some obese official who has been thrown out of it, although he is not much different from a dead man, is not a member of the bureaucratic class of the kingdom of Ri Yestij?

However, although it is very difficult to understand why the kingdom of Ri Yestij has not made any reasonable response to this, a certain underground organization called 'Eight Fingers' has not been sitting idly by, and they have actually begun to secretly deploy troops and carry out some retaliatory actions as early as the first night of the incident.

But unfortunately, none of their people who were ordered to break into the mansion, whether strong or weak or outnumbered, could stand up at all...... Of course, it would be more accurate to say that those who sneak in with some sinister purpose or want to attack at night, once they enter, they never reappear!!

There were more than a hundred good fighters in total, some of whom were even equivalent to the adventurer-level fighters of the gold level or even higher, and they 'disappeared' silently, and no one knew whether they were dead or alive, and no one knew where they had gone.

This strange situation finally made a certain organization called 'Eight Fingers' panic...... Then, after they had been in peace for two or three days, and when they had not come up with a better way, when they found that the secret operation was not working, and they were ready to put pressure on some nobles and violent institutions of the kingdom, and intended to take revenge on a certain house and the people in it, Lana Thierle Chardon Lyll Vanseph, the third princess of the kingdom and the favorite youngest daughter of Rambosa III, took several guards with her, and The maid and one of the strongest warriors in the kingdom officially came to pay a visit.

'Master! ’

'The guest has been brought to ......'

Not long after entering the courtyard of this exquisite mansion, under the leadership of an old housekeeper, the third princess of the kingdom and the others were finally able to meet the true body of a legendary little girl face to face.

“……”

(?_?).。

However, compared to the smiles on the faces of the guests, a little guy who is the host is not happy at all!

“？？？”

(???.???)????

Annie, who thought that the other party was the kind of bad person who came to trouble her, sat in her place without saying a word, blinking her eyes, watching the other party and her group walk up to her, and then, she didn't stand up at all to show politeness, and continued to sit on her sofa in a daze.

Because, Anne doesn't like these guys and doesn't know them!

Moreover, the arrival of these guys has seriously disrupted her plan for today, so that she originally planned to continue to hang out and play, and by the way, find an opportunity to let the latest villains called 'Eight Fingers' who always refuse to admit defeat and think about sending someone to assassinate or kidnap her all day long, and then let her plan to retaliate and 'play' with those bad guys in the name of legitimate defense fail.

"Hello!"

"Your Excellency Anne Hasta, the mighty dragon mage of the 'Brilliant Diamond' adventurer, I am Lana Thierle Chardon Lyll Vanserf, the third princess of the kingdom of Ri Yestij, and I have come to visit you today!"

"Before we officially begin our meeting, let me introduce you to you......"

"Hmmm......"

"This is my friend, she is a steel-level adventurer, and at the same time the captain of the 'Rose', a nobleman of the kingdom, a descendant of the 'Thirteen Heroes' more than a hundred years ago, a chanter of faith magic, a powerful warrior who can use the resurrection magic of the fifth order, and has already stepped into the realm of 'heroes' - Lahas Elbein Drew Eindora!!"

"This is the chief warrior of our kingdom of Rystij, known as the strongest warrior in the kingdom - His Excellency Gejiev Storonov!"

"As for this ...... He's my constant Clem! ”

In the somewhat rude and leisurely gaze of a certain little girl, the third princess of the kingdom generously introduced herself and the people she brought with her, thought about it, and then sat down on the sofa opposite the little girl with a smile without waiting for the other party's invitation, and began to stare strangely at the male and female servants standing behind the other party.

Did she know that all of these servants were supposedly powerful warriors or magic troubadours?

Especially the old man and the head maid who was not much different from himself at that age - Artoria Helillar, the other party is not only extremely good-looking, but also very powerful? At least, the spies of their kingdom had spied on each other in the courtyard of this mansion, and with a wave of their hand, they easily froze several infiltrated eight-fingered members into icicles in an instant, and that scene was terrifying just by listening to it!

"Hello!"

"Your Excellency Anne Hasta! I salute you on behalf of the 'Steel' class adventurer team 'Cang Rose'? ”

After Her Royal Highness the princess introduced and sat down, the captain of the 'Rose', the steel-level adventurer Lahas Albein Drew Eindora, stared at a little girl who seemed to her to be very suspicious for a while, and bit down on the title of the 'steel' adventurer before slowly sitting down next to Princess Nina.

Obviously, she was very confused and disdainful of the other party's inexplicable 'Brilliant Diamond' level adventurer level!

Because, so far, the Adventurer's Guild has not come forward to admit or announce that it has established and registered that kind of inexplicable 'Brilliant Diamond' rank! Therefore, she was really disdainful and dissatisfied with the other party's suspicion or possibility, the other party's own blind fabrication of the adventurer level, and still firmly pressing the head of her own 'Cang Rose' team.

Although she admits that the other party does have good strength, at the same time, she also has doubts about the other party's strength! After all, no one here had ever really seen the other party cast any spells that were too powerful, and even the warrior commander had only listened to the verbal descriptions of those ignorant village names, which in her opinion was not true.

And if it weren't for the fact that the big operation they were about to launch might need to use the power of the other party, and she also needed to protect Lana's personal safety, she would definitely not have come here easily.

"Your Excellency Master Anne......"

"It's a pleasure to meet you, I visited you last time in the city of Ye Lantier, but it was delayed because of something, and now I am very honored to finally be able to visit!"

Unlike the 'Rose' Lass with a slightly cynical tone, the warrior captain Gurdjieff bowed to the other party very humbly, and then stood quietly behind Her Royal Highness the Third Princess of the Kingdom, not ready to squeeze into the sofa that was not very big.

‘……’

As for the little henchman Clem, who didn't speak at all, he had already known each other and stood aside honestly!

However, judging from his very impolite eyes, staring at the owner of this house all the time, staring at a certain little girl, it seems that he feels a little psychologically unbalanced or very dissatisfied with the power that even the little girl of others can have, and has the power that even the commander of the warrior can only salute in a proper manner, and even the princess can only come to the door to pay respects?

But unfortunately, his presence is too low, and no one cares what she thinks.

"The ......"

（?~?）

"Do you guys come to someone's house, what's the matter?"

(^～^; )ゞ

Anne said that the names of these individuals were longer than the other, and they were smelly and long anyway, and she had just heard them a little confused...... And except for the little man named Clem just now, except for the guy who didn't know why he looked faintly annoying, and she barely remembered it for a short time because his name was too short, the others, she didn't remember who was who at all.

However, it didn't matter what their names were, Anne just wanted to know what these princess guys wanted to do when they came to her house today and brought so many powerful helpers?!

"Humph!"

"Do you need to talk about that? Of course, I'm here to help deal with the big trouble you've caused! This dragon mage, Lord Anne Hasta, you should know it yourself, right? ”

Now that he saw that the other party had asked, the captain of the 'Rose Rose', Lahas Albein Drew Eindora, who was already a little dissatisfied with something, said straight to the point.

Speaking of which, before they came here, they had already planned in advance about the conversations that might happen, and they already knew that the little girl in front of them was also a straight little guy who relied on her strength to do whatever she wanted, so there was no need for them to say so many twists and turns to each other when they came here, so as not to annoy each other under wasting time but it was not beautiful.

"Trouble?"

∑(′△｀)？！

"But there doesn't seem to be any trouble here......"

く(＾_?) ゝ？

Anne was a little puzzled to hear it, and she really didn't know anything in her heart!

Yes, in Anne's opinion, she has had a lot of fun these days, and from time to time there are some bad guys who jump out to relieve her boredom or something, not to mention how comfortable it is, where is there any trouble?

"The ......"

"May I call you Annie?"

After seeing that the little girl in front of her no longer had the strong hostility she had at the beginning, Lana, the third princess of the kingdom who felt that she should take the opportunity to get close, hurriedly asked, and before the other party made a sound, she said directly:

"Annie, that's right!"

"Actually......"

"We came to you this time, and the thing we want to talk about is about the 'Eight Fingers' who have troubled you many times, and about the ...... of that evil organization."

Immediately afterwards, Princess Lana explained in detail the reason why she and the others suddenly came here, and planned to invite each other to help them, and to clean up the 'moth' that was gradually eroding the kingdom and destroying the people, and to deal with and eliminate the 'Eight Fingers' and a plan that was not yet fully mature.

Of course, she also said a lot of evil things about the evil forces 'Eight Fingers' at the same time, such as human trafficking, forcing good people to become prostitutes, massacring human lives, planting black powder, opening casinos, and the other party's strongholds in the royal capital that they investigated were all roughly said.

And this was said for more than ten minutes, until Princess Lana herself felt a little parched, she breathed a sigh of relief, and picked up the cup of strong tea brought by the maid and took a sip.

"So ......"

"In the face of the powerful 'Eight Fingers', in the face of our common enemy, we don't think Annie you should continue to fight them on your own, we should work together, and then unleash a thunderous blow at the right time and eradicate them in one fell swoop!!"

Holding her white fist, the third princess Lana said excitedly.

They had observed the little girl in front of them for several days, and only after seeing that the conflict between the other party and the 'Eight Fingers' had become more and more intense, that the other party had killed at least hundreds of members of the 'Eight Fingers' organization, and that the all-out confrontation between the other party and the 'Eight Fingers' had become inevitable and that the contradictions had become irreconcilable, they deliberately chose this opportune time to come to the door to negotiate.

For this reason, she even deliberately suppressed the case of the vigilante who was seriously injured by the other party and paralyzed. After all, it would be a very cost-effective thing to sacrifice such a dispensable cool official for the sake of the kingdom, and to sacrifice such a public security envoy with a bad reputation!

"So?"

ヾ(^▽^*)))

"But why should people help you?"

(°ー°〃)

Listening to the other party's rambling about a lot, Anne felt that her head was too big......

Then, after a while, she straightened things out with the help of her own bear, which was probably this: these guys in front of her wanted to deal with the 'Eight Fingers' organization, but they didn't have the confidence to win, so after seeing that she had bullied those bad guys hard enough and efficient enough, she hurried to find herself, wanting to help them help them deal with those bad guys?

（…… ）

(●￣(?) ￣●)

“！！”

"Nope! You may be mistaken, but I would like to make one point to be clear: it is not you who help us, but we help each other, because we have a common enemy, so we need to temporarily unite to increase our chances of winning, right? ”

Hearing that a certain bad little girl actually said such cool words, the 'steel' level hero powerhouse on the side, Lassa, was very dissatisfied and solemnly added.

"Well, people understand, that's what you think......"

o(′▽｀)o

"But, people don't seem to need your help? And those eight fingers are not people's enemies, they are just a bunch of dispensable toys! ”

(???? -)?

What kind of cosmic plane jokes, what mess of enemies, those useless villains are worthy of being her enemies of Queen Anne?!

And the fact is that Anne has never faced the so-called 'Eight Fingers', and she even plans to run out today for them to ambush and assassinate...... If it weren't for these strange creatures running up to disturb her, she would probably be playing a fun little game of cat and mouse with the baddies in the streets in some deserted alley.

“！！”

"But, eight fingers are very strong!"

"They even secretly took control of the kingdom, and there were thousands of people in their service! If we work together, we will be able to defeat them! And if we act separately, it is likely that we will lose because of the dispersion of forces! ”

"Yikes!!"

"Hold, sorry, I was rude......"

Hearing that the little girl in front of her despised the 'eight fingers' so much, Lana, the third princess of the kingdom, hurriedly and excitedly spoke out again, and even spilled some of the tea she had just picked up in her hand, so that she had to quickly endure the hot pain and exclaim and put it on the table.

"Thousands, how many are there?"

? (ψ｀▽′)o

"Hmm......"

"Probably hundreds of thousands! But they'll have fewer core members, and we'll just have to deal with those core members! ”

Princess Lana had asked Lahagi's team to secretly investigate, except for those peripheral wall grasses, the core members of the 'Eight Fingers' in the royal capital Yestijah are only one or two thousand, they are distributed in more than a dozen different strongholds, and those guys are the targets they need to eradicate!

"Hundreds of thousands...... That's not much, what's there to be afraid of! ”

(ˉ▽ ̄~) cut ~~

Hundreds of thousands of villains, if you go to fight one by one, it is indeed quite troublesome...... However, Anne felt that if she made some powerful equipment for the maid behind her, she would be able to easily destroy those enemies in this city in about half a night with a little more time and a little more time, right?

And the bad guys scattered in other places are just as easy to eliminate, and when you think about it, it's just a little more troublesome to find!

“……”

"Anne, let's say, whatever you want, we can give it to you, as long as you can help us when the time comes!"

Princess Lana, who thought that the other party saw that there was no benefit, so she did everything possible to prevaricate and didn't want to do it, thought about it, so she frowned and asked tentatively.

"What do you want?"

! (;?o?) o

"Hmm...... They don't seem to have anything they really want......"

(lll￢ω￢)

The only thing Anne wants is good food and fun!

But she would find that kind of thing herself, and when the time came, she only needed to look at it to know if it was what she wanted, and if she had to say it now, she wouldn't be able to figure it out herself.

“……”

"In this way, our kingdom of Ryštijī can give you a piece of land and the corresponding title, the town of Yes Landiel, that is the territory of our royal family, what do you think?"

The princess thought about it, and then suddenly said slyly.

Since the other party is highly respected by the warrior chief, and since her father has entrusted this matter to herself, she feels that it is better to simply trap the other party, because as long as the other party becomes a lord of the kingdom and becomes one of them, then everything will be easy to handle in the future.

And the town of Yah Lantil, located in the center of the Three Kingdoms and often under the influence of the Empire, was a good choice, as long as the other party showed enough power to be as powerful as the other party's reputation in the next action, and when the time came, she believed that her father would support her idea.

"Don't!"

(￢д￢。 )

Anne's face was full of disgust, because ah, the territory and the title or something, that kind of thing can't be eaten, she won't be rare!

"Ah......h

"Then we will hire you and give you money, a lot of money, countless gold coins, what do you think?!"

Hearing that the other party didn't want the title and territory, Princess Lana couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and then quickly, thinking of the recent abundance of royal funds and the unexpected windfall of her wealth, she hurriedly changed a condition that she thought the other party might accept.

She'd heard that the other party had been hired by a pharmacist with another new team of 'steel' level adventurers, so she must have had some kind of need for money, right?

"Not so good......

（?~?）

"The big piece of gold that you got from the city of Yeh Lantil was actually thrown there, and they have gold, so they don't want your gold coins!!"

? (′?`*)

Anne had also heard that the piece of gold she had accidentally dropped had caused quite a stir, and that it had been taken in by a certain king, and that it had caused many nobles in the country to gnash their teeth.

“！！”

"What?!"

"Master Anne, you mean...... And did you drop the gold ingot? But why would you do that, why would you throw it away?! ”

At this time, the warrior commander on the side finally couldn't help but interject and exclaimed.

He never imagined that this 'unsolvable mystery' that had plagued the kingdom for a long time and made many people feel stunned would be solved by himself unintentionally?!

"There's no reason for that......"

(^～^; )ゞ

"It's just that there were two villains who wanted to rob people, and they said they wanted gold, and they said they wanted to be as big as possible? Then they took out the biggest piece of gold and threw it to them! But what do you think, they are so spicy and useless, they can't connect to it! ”

ヾ(⌒?⌒*)Hehe?

Actually, Anne had said this once before in the Adventurer's Guild, but those guys didn't believe her, which made her angry for a long time! And now, when I say this here, these guys in front of me actually believe it......

Sure enough, there are some things that can't be said to some stupid people who don't believe her, because even if she Queen Anne tells the truth, those stupid people will selectively ignore it, and if they say it, they will even make themselves angry or something!

（…… ）

(●￣(?) ￣●)

“！！”

"It's no wonder that this is the case......"

It's strange that such heavy gold can be caught!

However, after the other party said this, the warrior captain Gurdjief finally understood some things, and finally knew why there was such a big gold brick that crushed two adventurers who didn't know who they were to death! Now, all the original mysteries, the original irrationality and inability to understand the logic have suddenly become clear at this moment.

‘......’

‘……’

Princess Lana and her friend Lahise looked at each other in astonishment, not knowing what to say.

In fact, in their opinion, such a big piece of gold, if it was taken by the ten most powerful people in the kingdom, it would definitely not be able to catch it, right? Anyway, they felt that even if they were replaced by ten warrior leaders, they would only be crushed into meatloaf?

"It's like this......"

"But! Annie, I don't understand, so why don't you just throw it away?! ”

In this regard, Princess Lana is very strange, after all, such a large fortune, which is equivalent to the income of the kingdom's taxes for decades, is lost if the other party says that it will be lost? And if the other party suddenly says that they want to take it back, will they want to return it to the kingdom of Yettij?!

"Because it's dirty!"

(?ˇεˇ??)))

"Those two bad guys were crushed into meatloaf, blood was still everywhere, and their intestines were coming out...... And there are so many people who want that kind of gold, how can they still want it? ”

(ˉ▽ ̄~) cut ~~

Anne looked disdainful, a little disdainful of the nervous attitude of the guys in front of her.

After all, these guys are rare in that kind of golden metal, and her Queen Anne and the people in her Kprou zone are not rare at all! Because, the stock of gold in the Milky Way is too much, basically almost the same as dirt and rock, but it is a little troublesome to purify?

Anyway, that kind of thing is used as an industrial material most of the time, and there is no need to look for it at all, when those federal mining companies find a few asteroids to refine metal, they can get hundreds of millions of tons of that kind of by-product, even if they are thrown on the side of the road, they are not afraid of someone stealing it, how can she be rare?

‘！！ ’

'Because, because it's dirty?' ’

'How much?! ’

'How much do you want?' How is this—how is this possible!! ’

Hearing the little girl's casual words, Lana, the third princess of the kingdom, the strongest warrior Captain Gejief, the only three teams of adventurers in the kingdom, Lass Rose, the captain of the only three teams of adventurers at the 'steel' level, and a certain little follower Clem were instantly stunned, and their faces were full of that look of disbelief!

I really never thought of it......

The mystery that has plagued the kingdom and several neighboring countries for a long time, the 'Golden Brick Gate' event, and the biggest event of the year in which dozens of bounty investigations and commissions have been accumulated, and the amount of money has almost reached several thousand gold coins, was directly revealed in this not very smooth conversation between them?!

“？？？”

(???.???)????

"Hey! What's wrong with you guys, what's wrong with that?! ”

？ (?Д?≡?д?)!?

Anne looked left and right in some confusion, not knowing what the guys were doing with those stunned expressions.

（...... ）
