Chapter 213: Whimsical Ideas
Grace finally succeeded in getting the letter from the giant eagle, and in the face of this situation, Rita could only sigh and express her helplessness, perhaps she should boast: Is it worthy of Her Majesty's pet? Even sending a letter is so strict, obviously the recipient is next to him, and he has to deliver it to the main owner.
After watching the eagle fly away, Grace turned and walked over to Rita: "You look a little lost?" ”
"Normal people have a little bit of it, right? Obviously, I met first, but it turned out to be ...... Alas...... It seems that except for Her Majesty, that guy doesn't buy anyone's account. Rita sighed again, then took the piece of paper from Grace's hand, "Forget it, let's not worry about it for now, it's really important to figure out what's going on here." ”
"Hmm...... I'll take a look......" her gaze quickly swept over the letter, and soon Rita's face became completely gloomy.
"What happened?" Seeing Rita like this, Grace also had a bad premonition for a while.
"Mistress Grace Longman will see for herself." With a wave of his hand, he handed the letter back to Grace, and then Rita turned her head to look to the side, and luck shouted, "Everyone~ assemble!" ”
In a few minutes, the hundred-strong team, which was still a little scattered, was all ready to go with Rita's order, and Grace also studied the contents of the letter paper thoroughly:
Old man, I'll go first this time, although I know that you will definitely be angry, but I can't help it here, and don't embarrass Eudora, although she knows that I am leaving, but after so many years, I think you should ask about my temper, so don't chase after the girl, it's useless to say it and make people suspicious. Ahem, well, that's all for this time, in fact, I wrote this letter to you for a reason. In addition to knowing that you will definitely lead the team, the other thing is to talk to you about the slave trade......
Anyway, that's basically it, I'm just how some other countries deal with this matter, but since I bumped into it, then whether it's a human or a ghost, even if you are a god, you have to abide by this system for me, and if you want to carry out the slave trade in Evel, you can, but only for prisoners of war, and the rest, once discovered, all of them will be copied for me! The mastermind was hanged in the streets, and after his death, the corpse was hung at the city gate for public display, so that those bastards could see the punishment of the law!
In addition, I found a cave in the east of the Zoro Plain that trafficked women, and there was a little girl in a very bad condition, so please come to the rescue as soon as possible and give you key attention, and finally the location, you can go directly to the direction I said, I have marked the area around the cave, if you really can't find it, ask Eudora, I think she should be with you......
"What are you going to do if you see those people?" On the way to the cave, Grace suddenly asked.
"How? Huh......" Eudora sneered, and at the same time the face facing Grace was covered with frost, "As Her Majesty said in the letter, these people are moths, and it is cheaper for them to die." Even if Rita didn't elaborate on the girl's state in the letter, Eudora could deduce from her own perception of her queen's personality, and if it wasn't really too bad, she wouldn't have been able to highlight it.
"Don't go too far."
"Lord Grace Longman, is this questioning Her Majesty's decision?" Eudora glanced faintly at the person beside her, and her voice sounded a little displeased.
"I'm just worried about arousing the disgust of other countries around me, and then the gains will outweigh the losses."
"......" Eudora pursed her lips and was silent for a moment, before she compromised, "I understand, I will pay attention to this matter." She was not a fool, she naturally knew what Grace was worried about, saying that it was causing disgust in the surrounding countries, but rather that some of them were disgusted by nobles and wealthy merchants. The slave trade, which can be said to be a phenomenon in almost every country, is just that in some places it is orderly, and in other places it is rampant and no one cares about it. Of course, the current territory of Evel is still unique, after all, even if there are many national laws that provide for this, but because it involves too much, it eventually becomes a dead letter.
The inaction of the rulers, as well as the inhumanity of the nobles and wealthy merchants, even when Eudora was a mercenary, she had seen too much, and it was always the people who suffered in the end, which can be seen by the current situation of those poor kilns.
Rita didn't know what was going on on Eudora and Grace's side, but after half a day of galloping, Rita came to a mountain forest, well, a small one.
"I just don't know if I can catch a beast or a mutant beast here, I didn't pay attention to running too fast before, so I ran straight over......" Rita muttered as she walked, looking left and right, originally she was planning to find a town to buy a horse, after all, even if she was fast on her own, it would be very tiring to keep running like this. It's just that what she didn't expect was that because she only remembered to bury her head and rush, and she wasn't very familiar with this area, she ran over it as a matter of course, and what was even more sad was that this fact was told to her by the other party after she met a caravan on the road, otherwise she might not know about it until now.
"Giggle...... Yikes! ”
"Huh?" The chirp from afar made Rita subconsciously turn around and look up, and then a bright smile appeared on the girl's face, which carried a tenderness that had never been before.
"I'm really bothering you this morning, and now you're beside me to do things that can make me completely relieved." As soon as the eagle landed in front of her, Rita ran up and touched its head.
"Wow!"
"Okay, okay, I know, I know you've got something to be delivered." Seeing the giant eagle shaking her head and coquettishly to herself, Rita's voice was also a little helpless, she really didn't know why this one was so attached to her, obviously when they first met, they were like enemies of life and death, but after being turned around by her as a hammer, they immediately obeyed her in every way, does this eagle have a hidden shaking M attribute?
Thinking of this, Rita shuddered, and the giant eagle tilted his head and looked at her with some confusion as if he sensed something: "Huh? ”
"Poof...... I'm fine. Rita hid her lips to hide the smile at the corner of her mouth, no matter what the one in front of her, but in her eyes she looked like a child who had not grown up, perhaps because of this, she was extremely patient......
"I don't know how the children are now, if the conditions allow, I will take them with me when I return to Evel, I think the old man who came to Elias should give this face......"
Rita muttered under her breath again, but this time there were more memories of her time together with the children in the bamboo forest. Of course, Rita is naturally not a sentimental person, but those children are special to her, at that time she didn't know the fact that Xiao was still alive, but they gave her warmth when she was most vulnerable, gave her the direction and motivation to move on, so even if she was running around to make money, she wanted to give those children a good life, a life that no longer worried about being afraid......
"Sure enough, I still have to catch a mutant beast to walk, otherwise I don't know when I have to run...... Uh-huh...... "She seemed to have forgotten something......
Thinking of this, Rita subconsciously raised her head, and after looking thoughtfully at the giant eagle in front of her for a while, she suddenly slapped the back of her head: "Damn!" How did I forget this!? ”
"Huh?"
The eagle tilted its head again in confusion, it didn't know why its master was looking at it like that, but it didn't understand until two minutes later......
"Alright, let's fly." Rita climbed on the back of the giant eagle, and then patted her face excitedly, eh, why didn't she think of it before? Well, such a cool thing, I must let Xiao also try it in the future.
"Ahh Yikes! ”
"What's wrong?" Seeing that the giant eagle did not take off but turned her head to look at herself, Rita couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
"Ahh Yikes! ”
"Are you...... Don't want to take me? Rita was a little nervous, if that was the case, then her wish would be in vain.
"Wow!"
"Why is that?" Seeing the giant eagle shaking her head, Rita immediately breathed a sigh of relief, anyway, it's not good, otherwise it would be really embarrassing, "Are you worried about me?" ”
"Wow!" Nod.
"Let me guess then...... Are you afraid that I will fall while you are flying? ”
"Wow!" continued to nod, and then directly pushed Rita with his beak, meaning to quickly let the other party go down.
"Hahaha, you don't have to." The girl smiled and bent her eyes, and at the same time stretched out her hand and touched the head of the giant eagle, "Don't worry, I'll be fine, it's a big deal, if you're really worried, you can slow down a bit." ”
Rita thought about it, the speed of the one in front of her, if it was at the same speed as the last time it helped her deliver the letter, even if it slowed down, it should be able to reach the border of the empire by tomorrow morning at the latest. But I don't know if it's an illusion, obviously when I saw this in front of me a few days ago, the giant eagle stood up and reached her shoulder, but when she climbed up just now, she lost half a day's strength, and it seems to have grown a lot taller.
