Under the leadership of the wise King Griffin, the continent of Erathia maintained a delicate balance between good and evil, with neither side having much of an advantage, and this stalemate lasted for many years.

However, with the sudden death of the wise King Griffin, the balance of war between the two sides gradually shifted in favor of the evil side...... Then, the continent of Erathia fell into unprecedented chaos, which caused the peace that was already on the tightrope to collapse, so that it was replaced by the invasion of Erathia by evil, and the constant wars of all sizes.

After receiving the news of her father's death, Catherine, the queen who had married away from another country, was grieved and immediately sailed from the kingdom of Ironfist to the continent of Erathia to mourn. What she didn't know, though, was that due to the long seas, the long distances, and the time the messenger had arrived in the Tekken Kingdom, it would be a long time before her fleet arrived safely on the continent of Erathia.

As soon as she landed, she and her limited retinue and escorts were greeted by the ruined homeland and the war-torn land of Erathia...... The villagers in the vicinity were almost gone, even in the towns, and the few survivors who remained had different accounts, but all indications were that the place had indeed been invaded and devastated by Negan, so that all she saw was chaos in a state of disorder and kingdomless governance?

Because it is impossible to contact the royal family of Erathia and important officials and nobles, and there are all kinds of rumors that the kingdom has collapsed and Erathia has perished? Therefore, in addition to grief and indignation, in order to rebuild the kingdom and expel the evil forces, Queen Catherine immediately decided to announce her return to the people of Erathia, and quickly gathered the surviving local people to train and form an army with the griffin banner as a call, intending to return a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye and swear revenge!

However, revenge is not just a slogan, it requires a lot of men, a lot of generals, a lot of logistics and always ready to go to war!

But now, Queen Catherine didn't even have a few generals under her command who could be trusted or competent, because she had only come to Erathia to mourn, and how did she know that this was the case? So, she didn't have much of a man with her, and after sending someone to urgently organize the army, she had to come to this city not far from their landing point, although it was a little dilapidated, but now she had returned to the city of Calyade, which was under the banner of her griffin, and came to the tavern with mixed personnel, and planned to find a reliable helper or two.

'Hey! ’

'Your Majesty, you are truly generous......

After receiving a very substantial tip from Queen Catherine, the tavernkeeper whispered to Catherine:

'Your Majesty! ’

Look over there, yes! See that little girl in the corner over there? ’

The tavern keeper, who had received the favor, had apparently become much more kind and flattering at once, and he began to ignore the disgusting and threatening gazes of the two crusader guards beside the Queen, and while flatteringly revealing his yellow teeth covered with dirt, he leaned into the ear of Queen Catherine, whose brow was a little furrowed, and pointed to a corner of his tavern.

“……”

"See, there's a weird little girl there, but what's wrong with that?"

The little girl, who was gorgeously dressed and out of place with her surroundings, had actually noticed Queen Catherine when she first came here.

However, she thought that the other party was the child of a rich family, so she didn't pay too much attention to it! After all, she took the time to come here this time to try her luck and see if she could find some powerful helpers or thugs from this kind of place where dragons and snakes are mixed, not to pay attention to a dispensable eccentric child.

'Hey! ’

'I'll tell you, I'll tell you, she's a powerful wizard, very powerful, and probably the most powerful of all of them here, including you and your guards! So, Your Majesty, if you are going to do something big or need a powerful wizard to help, you can't do it for you, she will be able to help! ’

The innkeeper was clearly aware of the idea of collecting money to ward off disasters for others, and so, after hearing that the former maiden, who was said to have sailed all the way from the Ironfist Kingdom to return to Erathia by boat, and was trying to clean up the land, meant to find thugs or some qualified general, he naturally recommended the little witch whom he considered to be the most powerful in his tavern.

Anyway, he doesn't know if others are powerful or not, but that little girl must be very powerful, there is no doubt about it!

“！！”

"She? A little girl? ”

"Huh! Are you sure, this gentleman, you're not kidding me?! ”

Not to mention anything else, just seeing that the other party is a little girl is enough to make Catherine suspicious! Therefore, she couldn't help but chuckle at the tavern owner in front of her when he said that the other party was a powerful wizard, and she didn't have any hope that she could find a useful helper or general in this tavern.

Of course not! ’

'I swear! In the name of the Kingdom of Erathia! Although, it may no longer exist now...... Well, Your Majesty, I have no intention of offending you, but I can tell you responsibly: no one here can beat her, such as the down-and-out knight Sosa over there, who was knocked down by her in just one fell swoop yesterday! Even that terrible blue-skinned sorcerer over there, Somra, he couldn't beat that little girl!! ’

'This is your chance, she's really strong, and I've heard that she's been short of money lately, so she's here to try her luck and find a job?' ’

The tavernkeeper continued to whisper into Her Majesty's ear with a mouth full of yellow teeth, and secretly enjoyed the somewhat charming aroma that emanated from the other party.

However, at most, he did not dare to touch the other party or make more rude movements, otherwise, the two elite crusader guards who followed behind the other party, those two guys who had been staring at him with the two terrible eyes in their helmets from the beginning, would definitely come up and chop him in half with a sword!

“……”

"Do you know who she is?"

After a long moment of hesitation and struggle, Catherine finally spoke, and her tone seemed to loosen slightly?

'Hah! Who cares about this kind of thing? ’

'But, my majesty, I just know that she came here two days ago, and it looks like it's from our side anyway, and it certainly won't be the undead or the Negans!' ’

That's too good news for you or for us, isn't it? ’

In the tavernkeeper's opinion, as long as the other party is a human, not Negan, Orf, elves, forest dwarves, undead or other messy guys, as for the rest, in the current land of Erathia, there really doesn't matter so much, because things will certainly not be worse.

“……”

"Thank you!"

After listening to the other party's statements and news, Queen Catherine thought about it, and finally prepared to go over and talk to the other party herself, because the matter was very important, and she obviously did not intend to listen to the other party's side of the story.

“……”

(′～`●)

However, what Queen Catherine, an NPC who is still full of doubts, doesn't know is that she has made a fortune! Because, at this time, a little girl is struggling with whether to leave this shabby place that does not seem to allow her to find a suitable money-making task in order to alleviate her increasingly embarrassing financial situation!

Of course, the embarrassed economy refers to the game 'Oasis', because the 110,000 game gold windfall she obtained at the same time after cracking the first link of the easter egg game and getting the bronze key has been squandered by her, and a certain hateful shoulder blade warrior dragged her to play a CS game but cunningly didn't give her a penny, so she had to come to the dangerous Elasia continent in the exploration area of 'Area 16', ready to try her luck?

"Tibbs ......"

（?????????? ）

"That abominable shoulder blade warrior Edges must have lied to us, where are the missions here where you can make money? You see, people have been playing here for two days, and they haven't earned a penny, but they have spent a lot! ”

?? °(°?????????? °)°??

（…… ）

(●￣(??) ￣●)

"Otherwise, let's go back to ...... Huh? ”

∑(?? △｀)？！

At this moment, she was 'talking to herself' to her stuffed toy bear, and was considering whether to go back, she suddenly closed her mouth and looked curiously at a strange aunt who was carrying two heavily armed crusaders, who were also wearing gorgeous cloth armor, a long sword encrusted with jewels at her waist, and a precious cloak.

“……”

"Hello, little girl! I'm Queen Catherine, from across the sea from the Kingdom of Iron Fist, and the princess of the Kingdom of Erathia, and I just heard that you seem to be a powerful hero and want to find something to do with your money? ”

While asking, Catherine began to observe each other carefully.

She first looked at the other party's appearance, and anyone could see that the little guy in front of her was a cute little girl with blonde hair and blue eyes, and she looked like she was no more than eight or nine years old? At the same time, the other party has no decorations or items that other wizards should have, and there is no fluctuation of magic power, and it feels like the little girls I usually see, this is a very ordinary little girl......

When she came to this conclusion, she faintly regretted that she should not have wasted her time in such a place, and that she should not have paid for such nonsense from that hateful tavernkeeper!

“！！”

! (;?? o??) o

"Of course it is!"

?? (????????)??

I never expected that good things would find me so quickly!

You know, Anne was still worried about how to make money just now, and when she turned her head, she saw that an NPC sent a task to the door? Therefore, she was excited, so she jumped up directly from her position, and kept nodding her head in front of the unjust boss NPC in front of her, who was likely to pay a lot of money to hire her.

"Huh!"

"Tell me what you're going to do?"

Looking at the other party's performance, Catherine's sense of disappointment became even stronger. Because, judging from the other party's behavior alone, she knew that the guy in front of her was indeed an ordinary little girl, even if she knew a little spell, it was estimated that she would not be strong!

Sure enough, the tavern owner is probably also a shallow guy, how does he know what kind of character he needs now?

"People can do anything! Because he's a super arcane archmage! ”

o(*?? ︶?? *)o

Because she is now in the Oasis game, and she is not cheating, Anne is a little afraid to say that she is the most powerful arcane archmage, so she can only introduce herself so modestly.

"Oh?"

"Mage?"

"Sorcerer, right? Just right! I just want to hire a mage, say, what kind of magic do you know? ”

Queen Catherine, who felt that she could not make a hundred trips, thought about it, and continued to ask patiently.

She thinks that if the other party really knows some powerful magic, such as one or two of the four series of magic, and is barely able to get on the stage, maybe she will recruit the other party and let the other party follow her, to act as a magic consultant or ranged striker?

"People can do anything!"

(*???? ╰╯`??)??

"Heh......"

"Since you know everything, can you show me how?"

Hearing the other party's words, Catherine couldn't help but chuckle, obviously, she was a little reluctant to believe the other party, so she directly teased the general.

"Humph! You don't look down on people anymore! ”

s (???? ˇεˇ????) ゞ

"Demonstration is demonstration!!"

?? (ψ?????? ˇ????)????

Seeing the other party's face and listening to the other party's tone, where did Anne not know what the other party was thinking? So, she immediately grabbed a huge fireball of flamebursting fire, almost the size of a basket, and let its temperature and fire startle everyone around the tavern to exclaim.

‘！！ ’

'Queen, be careful!!!' ’

Of course, at the same time, two Crusader guards beside a certain Queen Catherine rushed forward, and then pressed the hilt of their sword to guard their queen, staring vigilantly at a little girl who could use the kind of three-level magic beaded fireball that seemed to be in fire magic without saying a word.

"Humph!"

"Get out of the way! Tell me, little girl, how much does it cost you to be hired? ”

Catherine, who was slightly surprised, was stunned for a moment, and then pushed away her crusader guard without mind, walked directly to the little girl without defense, and asked with interest under the light of the magic fireball in the other party's hand.

Although the other party is not the kind of general or hero she idealizes, Catherine feels that the other party's magic alone is enough to make her look the other way.

"Hmm......"

(???? ω????)

"About a thousand gold coins, right?"

(?????? ω??????)

Anne didn't know what the market was like, so she gave a price that she thought was fair and shouldn't scare the other party.

"A thousand gold coins?"

"That's not expensive, okay! I've decided, a thousand gold coins to hire you!! ”

Catherine knew that an ordinary wizard or an unknown general would cost two thousand and a half gold coins for employment, and now, the little wizard in front of her, who looked quite powerful, only needed one thousand gold coins, so she would definitely not let it go!

In her opinion, no matter how bad it is, she can take the other party with her, and then provide herself or her soldiers with necessary magical support during the battle, which is a very cost-effective thing.

"Huh?"

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

"This big sister, people are talking about a thousand gold coins a day, are you sure you want to hire someone?"

(??????)？

I didn't expect this NPC big sister in front of me to be so spicy and interesting, little Annie hurriedly extinguished the fireball in her hand after blinking, and then reconfirmed it again with more accurate words.

“！！”

"A thousand gold coins a day, why don't you grab it?!"

Sure enough, after Anne confirmed it again, Catherine was so frightened that she exclaimed directly, and the pitch was so loud that the idlers and others in the entire tavern looked curiously over again.

"Rob?"

Σ(⊙ω⊙`)？

"Can you really grab it?"

(灬??) ω?? 灬)

Anne was suddenly a little eager to try, thinking about whether to rob the queen's big sister named 'Catherine' in front of her.

Actually, she wanted to grab it for a long time! After all, if you do tasks to earn commissions or something, where can you directly grab them?

Anyway, in the game, she robbed other people's bosses, grabbed other people's goods or robbed other people's treasure chests or something, she did a lot of things, and she was very familiar with this! Otherwise, where would she have enough in-game gold to squander and in less than two months, from a newly established character to one of the best in the 'Oasis', even the top players of the Grand Guild should be cautious, and let so many people want to deal with her but are helpless?

(Report to the little master, robbing NPCs will only reveal some of the items and a small amount of gold coins that the other party is carrying, so you will definitely not make a lot of money...... Also, this guy in front of you is a queen and a big boss, if you choose to do it here, there is a good chance that you will be besieged, maybe die in this dungeon?

(●￣(??) ￣●)

- In a conscientious and responsible manner, and for the sake of his own frequent appearance, Tiebs carefully reminded a bad little master who was eager to try this out before putting some unreliable idea into action. ）

“……”

"Humph! Then I ask you, will you lead the troops? ”

Although a thousand gold coins a day or something, Catherine as a queen is not unable to pay, after all, it is possible to pay part of it first, and the rest can be paid in one lump sum after the end of employment...... But, apparently, she didn't think the other party would be worth the price.

"Of course!"

|?????? ω????)????

"People are super good at fighting, they have read many, many military books, and they can win every battle!"

(*^▽^*)

When Anne was in the world of Azeroth, she led the fire elemental army to defeat the Scourge Legion, and when she was in the Kpru Star Sector, she did systematically learn to simulate leading troops to fight, and it was the kind of super-large-scale battle in the interstellar age! Although, in every simulated battle, there are a few more dead soldiers, or is there almost only one left in the end? But no one can deny that in the end, it will always be her every time she wins!!

Therefore, the kind of thing that the other party asked is not a matter at all, and she expressed her confidence!!

"By the way, when people came to this broken city, they burned a big demon on the way, they can testify!"

（…… ）

(●￣(??) ￣●)

“！！”

"Great Demon?!"

Catherine was shocked, because she remembered something she had heard yesterday, it seemed that someone had indeed witnessed a mage outside the city kill a lone archdemon from Offer, that is, those powerful beings from hell who were regarded as mortal enemies by angels and archangels!

If that's the case, perhaps, she should really hire someone to try it today?

“……”

"Can't you pay less for your employment?"

Queen Catherine, who had just landed on the continent of Erathia, said that she was here for the funeral, and she really didn't bring much money, and she had only cleaned up one or two towns during this time to regroup, and these ruined places that had been swept away by Negan and Overer didn't have much revenue, so if she could, she wanted to bargain?

"Can't!"

o(?? ^｀)o

"If it weren't for people's urgent lack of money, people wouldn't come here to play with you!!"

s(?? ｀ヘ????; )ゞ

Yes, Anne is really short of money right now!

Although her superconducting ores have been thrown into the mall, let that Edges help to consign, but unfortunately because it is too expensive, and that thing cannot be used in a short time, it is priceless for the time being, so she is really out of money when she is used to spending money in and out of the game, so she can only run to brush the copy.

Originally, she wanted to sell her small motorcycle, but after she 'materialized' it, she collected it in her own bag in the material world, so, out of any way, she came to the continent of Erathia in the exploration area of Area 16.

"People tell you!"

(??????????)??????

"Big sister Queen, they are really worth their money, they are better than all of them combined! What to watch? Do you still want to fight? ”

?? (ψ｀▽′)o

Seeing that the NPC heroes in the tavern dared to raise their eyebrows at her, Anne directly crossed her waist and turned over to invite the battle. You know, she's thinking about robbing them right now, and if any of them dares to stand up and fight her, it's just what she wants!

（…… ）

ε=(???? '●))) Alas

“……”

Seeing that the other party was so frightened that the whole tavern closed their mouths like cicadas, Catherine began to frown and groan.

She was now thinking about whether to really hire this little girl who seemed to have a lot of magic, but who always seemed to have a somewhat unreliable temperament.
