Chapter 124: The City Lord's Cemetery
Aike looked at the scenery outside the car window, her eyes full of curiosity. You are the princess of Odin, and she has never left the capital. Compared to the capital's suitable climate, the cold climate of Oran is a different scene. This scene that she had never seen before made her very curious.
"Princess, now that you have entered the realm of Oran, Orlan is about to arrive, please don't worry. ”
Captain Chris, the only fourth-level warrior in this one, drove over and said to Echo.
"It is said that the area around Oran is actually quite dangerous, so please be careful. In addition, the climate here is relatively cold, so princesses should pay attention to their bodies. ”
"Okay, I got it. Also, Uncle Chris, you don't have to be so strict. ”
Eco smiled, then simply retracted her head into the warm carriage and continued to look at the scenery around her.
Looking at this style, Chris could only smile bitterly, and it was not easy to persuade casually.
"Hey, Sister Elaire, look, look, I haven't seen any of those plants. It was full of branches, and there were no leaves. Hey, look over there, it looks like some kind of animal. ”
Aike looked at the changing scenery outside the window, and excitedly shared it with the girl with glasses behind her.
"Oh, okay. "Well, it's not bad. ”
The girl in glasses was obviously not interested in the outside world, and still did not raise her head, and continued to calculate her own things. Only occasionally spoke up, but there was no sincerity at all.
Ike didn't care, and continued to look out the window with great interest.
Hearing Echo's active voice, Chris smiled faintly. However, when he heard that there were animals, Chris sent someone to deal with them. On the realm outside of Oran, it was clear that he knew that it could only be a beast.
He sighed lightly, feeling a little resentful in his heart, and complained about Ai Ke. Princess Echo's situation is indeed sympathetic.
is obviously a gentle and innocent good child, but she has to bear some pressure and pain that she shouldn't bear. Now, he has even been assigned to the border city of Oran.
Nominally, it is to give everyone a chance, to give people a promotion, to be the lord of the city of Oran, to lead the party, and have great autonomy. But Oran has always been regarded by everyone as a place for distribution. Yes, distribution. Anson was once, and so is Eco now.
Oran's situation, Chris has also heard about it. With scarce resources, a withering population, and a rampant number of wild animals around, it is really difficult to develop.
Where the enemy is surrounded, self-protection is not enough, let alone development. It's said that it's a distribution, but there's nothing wrong with it.
This is also a poor child, who has never thought of fighting for power and profit, but has been passively experiencing all kinds of open and secret battles. Ai Ke is very uncomfortable with this kind of life, and she doesn't like it very much, but what can be done, she can only blame herself for being born in the emperor's family.
As the youngest daughter of the old king, she is also very favored. Because he didn't have the heart to fight for power and profit, Aike spent more time sympathizing with the people. As a result, although Aike had no real power, he was supported by the general public.
This situation took a turn for the worse a few years ago when the old king was critically ill. Only favored, only supported, and without real power, Ai Ke has become a thorn in the side of some people. In the beginning, she still had a lot of people who were willing to protect her. But then, along with these people, they began to be transferred away one by one, and there was no news after that.
Until now, Ike's second brother, the second prince, no, the new king, is narrow-minded and has always felt that Echo is a big threat to him. So just after receiving the news of the death of the lord of Oran, the new king felt that this was an opportunity, so he transferred Echo to Orlan as the lord of the city.
In fact, a long time ago, the new king began to use Oran, consciously or unconsciously. The border city, far from the capital, and close to the territory of Warcraft, is really a very good place to place political opponents. And deliberately, not to give Orlan the support and assistance he deserves.
After a long period of calculation, one day, the king received the news that he was satisfied, and Orlan had become a mess. Now, he no longer needs to pay attention to Oran. So, he began his plan to throw all those who did not belong to him to Orlan in a way.
Now, it's time for Ike.
Fortunately, the new king, who has already sat in the position of king, can no longer kill other brothers and sisters, otherwise it will be a serious blow to his own reputation. Therefore, the king will do his best to ensure the safety of Echo and them, otherwise if something goes wrong, even if it is an accident, he will have to bear the problem.
So in order to show his generosity, the king even sent Chris, who was close to Echo, as a guard, and also allowed Echo to take Ilaire, who had been taking care of her.
Elaire is actually a very capable girl, and when Eco was still in the capital, the king deliberately suppressed her, did not give her any resources, nor did he give her any privileges, but imposed many restrictions on her, leaving her to fend for herself. However, thanks to Elier's efforts, Eco still has her own industry and has found a living space.
Elaire spends most of her time thinking about this for Ike, and is very interested in it, so she seems to be calculating something all the time.
Eliel didn't have any honorable status, but was originally just a maid. capable, slightly older than Ike, and after the others were transferred, she was the only one who took care of Ike. As a result, she is now like Sister Ike.
And now, Elier is relying on the available information, trying to calculate what kind of capital he can get when he arrives in Orlan, and how he can live well.
Knowing that there was no danger on the road, Chris had no objection to Coke observing the scene around him. The city gate could already be seen, and Chris was not in a hurry. There are some things that you still have to tell her in advance.
"Princess, there is no danger now, but after arriving in Oran, we will have to rely on ourselves. The king will not do any more tricks, but he will not help him much. So, in such an unfamiliar place, there may be other dangers, so be careful. ”
"Uncle Chris, Sister Elaire, you see, there's something huge coming into town. ”
As a result, Eco didn't hear Chris's solemn words, but instead saw a huge figure, one that entered Oran.
When Chris turned his head again, he couldn't see anything. Knowing that Ike hadn't heard what he had just said, he had to repeat it again.
"Princess, do you know, Oran, it's actually a very dangerous place. Do you know what it's always called?"
In order to let Aike know the severity of the matter, Chris added solemnly.
"Oran, called, City Lord's Graveyard!"
(About Orlan, it has been mentioned twice before, has anyone noticed?)
