Chapter 245: Exchange of Information (1)
The night passed, and instead of staying at the town's inn or the Adventurers' Guild, Alice and the others spent the night in the ruins of the demolished Lord's House. After all, you can't let the monster girls go to the streets in a grand manner.,Even if they're all beautiful girls.,But most of the body is still a alien appearance.。
After the buildings were broken down into particles, leaving only an empty flat field, Dryad Tritney used the vines of his body to create the building of the forest hut. And her dinner is also the fruit of the vines. These trees are not only delicious, but also colorful, as if they appeared in a fairy tale.
It may be hard to believe that depending on the color, the fruit has a completely different taste and texture, and even the smell of barbecue is there. Atanis says that with a little genetic manipulation, controlling the taste and texture of the fruit is just a trivial trick to carve insects.
Moreover, Tritney is still a very clingy monster, and her core part (the part of the humanoid girl) will habitually hug you tightly when she is asleep, which is undoubtedly a coveted perk if Alice is still a teenager in her previous life.
So Alice had to say that such a plant-shaped monster was so convenient that if she took her on a home trip, she didn't need to bring any luggage at all.
"Alright, girl, tell me why you and your Mi Yi came to this place all of a sudden. ”
Whitehouse's voice brought back Alice's wandering consciousness, and before dawn he took Yuri with him, along with all sorts of adventurers, at the ruins of the Lord's Palace, and scattered them to clean up the aftermath. For some reason, everyone's expressions were very solemn, which made Alice feel a little embarrassed, after all, this tragic situation was caused by her own impulse.
"Speaking of which, it's actually like this......"
There is no need to hide it, Alice failed to transfer her space, fell into the nearby wilderness, was attacked by the demon bird and brought back to the nest, and then let her 'sister' transform the monster, until now the general experience has been 1510 and revealed.
"I see, unexpectedly. That's a disaster, and I'm going to have to find a way to get you back to Celestia right now......"
Whitehouse's dull tone, with the appearance of words in his words, made Alice uneasy.
"What's the matter, old man, could it be that something is going on in the west of the empire?"
"That's right, the detailed situation is not very clear, when I learned the news, the old man was already near the imperial capital. The western part of the empire is now being swept by a large number of unknown and dangerous monsters, and the adventurer guilds in various towns are doing their best to resist the invasion, but unfortunately there are not enough people to do it. Although the old man wanted to go back to the west directly to help, it was useless to think that it was useless to go back alone, and the old man was unable to run around to meet the enemy, so he had to come here first to seek reinforcements from the headquarters of the Adventurers' Association. ”
"Sure enough......"
As expected, Alice recalls the crisis she learned from Atanis's spirit after the failed transfer - that the 'ark' on the Farirabis Mountains contained terrifying aliens who would not hesitate to destroy all living things in order to invade the planet.
"Then send us both back to Celia!" Atanis ...... Oh no, Ariezel has a way of dealing with those monsters!"
Alice thought very well, since those aliens were the dependents of Yatanis's creation, then as soon as she returned to the Ark, she should be able to find a way to quell their riot.
"Control the Beast......s? I see, that means that the demonic beasts behind you now, including those of the folk in the basin manor, are all experiments to control the demonic beasts......?
Alice's words made Yuri, a young adventurer in black on the side, hold his chin thoughtfully and guess to himself.
"When, of course, although I was involved in an accident, but I am a visionary, and I am always worried about what may happen in my hometown! You must know that Cele is not peaceful at all, and everything must be strategized!"
But in fact, the genetic modification of Warcraft is just a whim of Alice, but since the high hat took the initiative to put it on, she will not be humble and dodge, and it is logical to show that she is a brainy protagonist.
"Oh, strategizing, interesting, in that case, naturally you already know what happened in the imperial capital, right? Wait, or is it that you made a big fuss last night, echoing what your father ......did in the imperial capital?"
"Hah, ......, what's going on in the imperial capital? Grandpa, is my dad in trouble?"
This moment completely made Alice anxious, and she suddenly remembered the reason for her failed spatial transfer - after all, it was because of Ratche's strange disappearance, as if she had been summoned by someone. In order to summon Raki, there are a few prerequisites that need to be met. According to her former sister Eliza, the 'dragon magic' that summons Raki to her side across time and space is not something that can be done by simply carrying the fragments of the dragonstone, but must be a technology that can only be used if there is a certain level of magical resonance between her and Laki.
And the reason why Alice can do it is because she is often used as a pillow by Ratchey to fall asleep. In this way, when it comes to people who are closer to Laqi than himself, apart from himself, the only one who thinks about it is his father, Count Lutga. Although the wedding has not yet been officially held, the two of them have already shared the same bed as ordinary couples.
If it was really his father Lutega who summoned Raqi, then the situation was not trivial, and he must have encountered some kind of strong enemy in the imperial capital that was difficult to deal with. You must know that her sister Sophia, as well as her exclusive beast-eared maid Cam and Shephilia are all following her father's side, especially the leader Sophia, her attainments in the field of 'combat' are far above her half-self, and even if she is helpless, the strength of the opponent can be imagined.
"I don't think you know...... It's a coincidence, haha, it's not a father and daughter, and the logic and style of action are similar. ”
"Don't sell it, tell me what's going on?"
"Well, that's right, your father, Count Lutga, secretly infiltrated the imperial capital and murdered all the nobles present at a dinner party hosted by the royal nobles. ”
"Murder!?"
This extremely sensitive word suddenly made Alice dizzy as if she had been hit on the head.
"How is that possible? I said it might be a little bit of a short-term feeling, but my dad is an honest man through and through! Even if something goes wrong or someone he doesn't like, he won't ......."
"The banquet of the nobles of the royal faction, girl, didn't you think of something?"
"It's hard to ——!?"
After being reminded repeatedly, Alice realized the parchment she had found in the ruined lord's mansion last night, as well as the contents of the terrible banquet recorded on the parchment, the [Precious Meat Feast].
"That's right, your father was caught up in the scene of the [Precious Meat Feast], and he was enraged by the cruel methods of the royal nobles' pleasures, and he attacked and killed all the guests present at the banquet on the spot. If you say that, you can figure it out. ”
“......”
Alice was silent, it was true that Count Lutga was a man of calm character. However, he was once a knight of the Empire, well educated and nurtured, and retired before the Knights deteriorated, so to this day, his father still secretly carries the chivalry of the past years and the unyielding heart of justice in his heart.
If the cruel scene of slaughtering orc children and cooking dishes in front of him was staged, it was likely that Lutga would not be able to bear it. Not to mention Lutega, but Alice herself, she was sure that she would never be able to resist the urge to crush the ghosts and spirits in the audience, and the [Skyfall Dragon Soaring] would undoubtedly explode in the banquet hall immediately.
But impulse is impulsive, and in the distorted system of the empire now, the wanton murder of nobles in the imperial capital is by no means a trivial matter that can be brushed aside.
"Old, daddy, he's okay......"
"Count Lutga was subdued on the spot by the 'Legendary Blade' who rushed to the scene, but he escaped on the way to the prison or was rescued by his accomplices who had infiltrated the imperial capital with him. ”
"Ahhh......h Rescue, it must be Sophia...... So now they've fled the imperial capital?"
Alice was immediately relieved that her battle-hardened sister would not allow her father to be executed by the Empire, and that she would do everything she could to save Lutga.
"It's not that easy, the Imperial Capital now has all the seventeen 'Legendary Blades' gathered, even if your father and sister are both active warriors in the Dragon Slaying Campaign, it is impossible for them to escape from the Ascension Heaven in the face of the seventeen warriors who are close to the Holy Rank. ”
"So, what should I do? Could it be that Sophia and Daddy were arrested together? No, we have to save them!"
"Don't worry, girl...... Your father is not such a simple character, he immediately thought of a way, captured the royal palace overnight, and took Princess LaBelle hostage, using her life to cover his escape from the imperial capital. It's just that he has now been deprived of the title of imperial nobleman and lord, and is recognized as a thief who has brought disaster to the country and the people. ”
The status of a nobleman is really good for Alice, but the practice of taking hostages, which looks like a terrorist, you don't have to think about it to know that it must be Sophia's handiwork. And Laqi may have been summoned to his side when he captured the Imperial Palace. After all, as Whitehouse said, there are more than a dozen powerhouses of the 'Legendary Blade' concentrated in the imperial capital, and even if Sophia has three heads and six arms, she is only an 'assassin', and it is difficult to break through the strong defense line formed by the knights from the front. But Ratchey is different, she can use the endless magic power of the demon dragon to exert overwhelming combat ability.
Now that such a big news has been made, there must be no need for my father to continue to hide Rachi's identity. On the contrary, it is more conducive to their safe evacuation of the imperial capital by publicizing the 'Demon Dragon is under my control'.
But in this case, the original intention of going to the imperial capital - to invite the knights of the 'Legendary Blade' as rescuers - may have failed. Not only that, but from now on, Celea will have to face the suppression of the Imperial Army...... Internal and external troubles, the situation deteriorated.
