Three days later, Sosa sat in his tent and fell into deep thought with a feathered arrow, which had been sent by the guards, and had just been shot at the gate outside the barracks, and according to eyewitnesses, the archer's face could not be seen clearly, except for a green shadow in the distance, which flashed through the woods, and then disappeared.

There is a letter on it.

She had reported to Marshal Rod Hart three days earlier about Eldred's capture, but the expected thunderous anger and scolding did not come, and the marshal even reassured her that he would seek help from the king and the Royal Academy of Magic as soon as possible.

Thinking about it, it was not her daughter who was captured, and he didn't know about it from beginning to end, Sosa was the only one who was responsible, and she also knew that the relationship between Marshal Hart and her cousin, Count Svia, was not so harmonious.

When she returned to the barracks, she immediately wrote a long letter to Count Svia, in which she reviewed her mistakes and said that she would do everything possible to save Eldred safely, and asked the Earl to rest assured.

But there was no response from Erathia's side.

Now, news of the enemy arrived first.

She was a little nervous and didn't know whether to open the letter, if it was a request for ransom, it would be fine, after all, there are so many disputes and wars on the mainland, today you defeat me and tomorrow I will defeat you, and it is not too normal for senior generals to have a few experiences of being captured and ransomed.

Maybe the two armies can say hello to each other as soon as they meet, hey, who, who, we're not in a prisoner of war camp together, hey, yes, brothers, what a coincidence, and so on.

But there is also another situation is the declaration of death, if there is a prisoner of war between two countries with a deep hatred, it is very likely to be used to sacrifice the flag to boost morale, unfortunately this is the case between Erathia and the forest elves, the war that has lasted for hundreds of years has made the hatred between the two races have been like a thorn entangled in the city of fortune can not be dissolved.

Although Eldred is not a general, she is a more precious magician than a general, and in this sense killing her is more inspiring than killing a general of Erathia.

Well, Sosa opened the envelope with a heavy heart, but she was deeply relieved at the first sight of the handwriting on it.

OK.

It's Eldred's handwriting.

In the letter, Eldred said that she was now under house arrest in a bulwark in the rear of the enemy, and that fortunately she was captured, but the enemy did not harm her further, but the leader of the enemy said that the safe period of no harm would not be too long.

If Sosa could not prepare twenty thousand pounds of gold, crystals, precious stones, mercury, and sulfur in half a month, she would be handed over to the forest dwarves, for the dwarves had offered her two hundred pounds of crystals in order to get her, and the man who had captured her had apparently been impressed.

In the end, Adridrid begged Sosa not to tell her father about it, and that she would pay it back later on for the gold resources she had spent.

Finally, in an unfamiliar handwriting, a man who calls himself Lear greets Sousa and says not to keep him waiting, as the dwarves' sparkling red crystals are about to push the limits of his patience.

Sosa put down the letter and put her left hand on her forehead, her shoulders trembling a little when she remembered the number requested on the letter.

These greedy Sarabhutto!

Zaken, who was a guest at the Salabhutto Governor's Palace, shuddered suddenly, and he had a premonition that something bad would happen in the near future.

"Send this letter to Erathia and hand it over to Count Svia, and you will do it yourself. ”

Sosa finally summoned Ou Ling and gave him a solemn order, who was now one of her personal guards, and Ou Ling nodded and quickly left.

............

Lear is having breakfast.

Breakfast was not very rich, the dwarves could only provide coarse bread, wheat cakes, cheese, and a little porridge at the end, but this did not prevent Lear from eating this simple breakfast as a steak meal under the service of the French maid, Mademoiselle Adred.

"Miss Eldred, please hand me a piece of cheese over there, well, it's good, I'll add some porridge when it's gone. ”

Lear tucked wheat cakes into his mouth and indistinctly commanded.

Although the food is not good, it can be eaten.

The others had obviously not yet adapted to this sudden increase in salary, and they still preferred to do it themselves, except for Adela who enjoyed this high-end service with the same peace of mind as Lear, and glanced at Adridrid from time to time, his eyes full of victorious arrogance.

Hag crouched in the doorway alone with a few large pieces of meat, and the barbarian warriors with the appetite of the sea did not bother to chew slowly with these mortals.

"Miss Eldred, I have sent for the letter to be delivered in the morning, do you think your cousin will prepare so much ransom for you, and what if she thinks you are not worth the price?"

Lear shoved another piece of cheese into his mouth and signaled that the porridge was not enough.

"No, I have a very good relationship with Cousin Sosa, and she will definitely not leave me alone. ”

Adridrid said aggrievedly while holding the tin pot in his hand to pour rice soup for Lear, as for the beautiful scenery exposed on his chest and thighs, just look at it, anyway, I've been watching it for so many days.

"Preferably so, or I'll have to hand you over to my dwarven friends, who have maintained a keen interest in you until this morning. ”

Lear laughed, but the thought of the abominable mage who had exaggerated a hundred pounds of crystal to two hundred pounds in her letter to her cousin and the lion opened his mouth, the grief and grief turned to tears in his eyes.

............

"My lord, Count Svia has replied. ”

Seven days later, when Orin galloped back from Erathia covered in dust, he immediately delivered Svia's reply to Sosa.

"Well, you've worked hard, let's go rest first. ”

Sosa waved his hand to Ouling, then sat down behind the general's case and began to read Count Svia's reply.

"My dear niece Sosa, I couldn't sleep at night after hearing the bad news you brought me, and your aunt was even more unconscious, but I know that now is not the time to hold you accountable, I have prepared what you want and set out with your knights, and now they are on their way to Hammondal, in any case I have only one request, and that is to bring back our daughter, your sister Eldred, safe and healthy, I do not want to hear any more unfortunate news, so I have brought you two third-level mages as your assistants, I hope you can understand what I mean, and understand my feelings in doing so。

Your Uncle Svia Wessenhack"

The letter was signed with the word 'love you' omitted, which shows how disappointed Svia was at Sosa's move to let Eldred participate in the military campaign and eventually capture her, and sent two magicians to accompany her, saying that it sounded like she was an assistant, and it was clear that he no longer trusted her.

A third-level magician, how could she be able to command?

But that didn't change her determination to rescue Eldraid herself, and just as she was thinking about a rescue strategy, Ou Ling returned with a worried face.

"What's wrong, soldier, what's going on?"

In front of his subordinates, Sosa still has the majesty of a superior.

"Another letter, my lord. ”

Ou Ling offered the arrow feather in his hand.

Sosa took off the parchment from the arrow branch and unfolded it in front of her eyes, but the more she looked at her, the more her brow furrowed, and she walked to the small sand table in the tent with a few arrows, and pointed at it with her long sword against the contents of the letter, and soon had a rough outline in her mind.

"These vile, cunning, shameless Sarabuto!"

Sosa angrily kicked the sand table in front of him and threw his sword heavily on the ground.
