Chapter 147: Reluctance to Leave
"Shak, do you think she's poisoned or sick?"
"My lord, it's definitely not poisoning, I don't know if it's sick. โ
Victor always has the illusion that alchemy humans are omnipotent, but it turns out that alchemy humans are ignorant of what is beyond the will side, and although they have the ability to learn, this ability is not stronger than ordinary people. Poisoning, though, falls under the realm of the alchemy militia's mastery. As for being sick, does the big knight who communicates inside and outside have such a problem as being sick?
Shak was sure that it wasn't poisoning, and Victor breathed a sigh of relief. A great knight who swam out of the lake, found her camp, asked for food and clothing, and warned herself not to take advantage of her before she passed out, all of which showed that she knew her condition, so it seemed that her life was not in danger.
"My lord, I've seen this kind of situation in hers, it should be the sequelae of overuse of vindictive energy. After Nelson finished speaking, he explained, "As you know, our War Bear mercenaries were once hired by the Kingdom of Duoduo to raid the logistics granaries of the Sassanids. Once, after we had completed our mission, we encountered an unconscious knight of the Duoduo on our way out. It is risky to come to the aid of the Knight of Dรณrd, who will kill us all and then capture the knight. But high risk means high reward, and we ended up taking the knight away. He was in the same situation as Miss Chebman. โ
"And after that?" asked Victor quickly.
"After that, we went in a big circle, day and night, and managed to evade the pursuit of the Sassanians. Safely returned the knight to the kingdom of Dodor. What we didn't expect was that knight turned out to be the silver knight of the Quinn family, and the Quinn family gave us a rich reward, not only with a bounty of 8,000 gold soles, but also changed all our equipment. The most important thing is that we have hooked up with the Quinn family, and with this relationship, we have taken on many high-quality assignments. As a result, the mercenary group reached its peak, with more than 100 combatants alone and more than 200 logistics supporters. Nelson said triumphantly.
Victor was silent for a long time, patted Nelson on the shoulder, and said sincerely: "Nelson, I promise that you will achieve more brilliant achievements in the future." But what I asked was, what were the symptoms of the big knight after that, how long was he in a coma, was there any danger, did his strength regress?"
"Oh, at first, he was hot and cold, and it took him half a day before he woke up, and Knight Quinn told us that he had encountered many enemies, and he managed to escape with all his might, and that he needed to eat a lot and rest well because of the excessive use of fighting energy. Nelson replied quickly.
"And has his vindictiveness recovered?" asked Victor again.
Nelson struggled to recall for a moment, affirming, "We walked for 14 days, and his vindictiveness never recovered. However, when they met again, his vindictiveness had already recovered. It was the third day he had returned to his family. โ
Only then did Victor understand why the eldest lady of the Chebman family was so embarrassed that she ran to her camp before her clothes were dry. When she fought back against the leader of the Ant-Man, the fighting spirit should have been on the verge of exhaustion, and the sequelae of forcibly operating the fighting spirit made her need human protection. As a result, the weakened Gillian is left on the island in the middle of the lake by Victor. Before she fell unconscious, she had to seek refuge in Victor, perhaps she observed the alchemy militia in charge of surveillance, and followed the trails of the alchemy militia to finally find the place. It's just that Gillian doesn't know that Victor can know anything about her on the island in the middle of the lake, and even if she is really unconscious on the island, Victor will help her.
Gillian has very beautiful eyelashes, curled up on the ground like a baby, looking pure and delicate, which is completely different from her domineering temperament when she first arrived. Victor frowned, the living beauty in front of him was the sexiest and hottest stunner he had ever seen, but her personality was very unpleasant, obviously she was here to seek protection, but she seemed to be here to collect debts.
Victor just didn't like it anymore and couldn't watch her sleep on the ground like this, so he graciously picked up the unconscious female knight and got into the shack, and after placing her, Victor came out and ordered: "Shak, you take someone to build a wooden house." โ
In the evening, Gillian was awakened by a rich fragrance, and she opened her eyes to find herself sleeping on a bed, with many unknown blades of grass under the felt that served as sheets, very fluffy and soft. Then Gillian was surprised to find her in a wooden house. The wooden house is very basic, with an aromatic smell of the log walls and roof, which is clearly freshly built.
Gillian sat up from the bed and found herself wearing a dress made of fine linen commonly used by nobles, but this dress was very short, and the hem of the skirt was not up to her knees. Gillian's face changed, and she quickly checked her body to make sure that there was nothing out of the ordinary, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
Gillian's face was cloudy, and her slender eyebrows were sometimes furrowed, sometimes erect like a sword, sometimes soothing. After sitting quietly for a moment, I looked down to see a pair of strangely shaped shoes under the bed.
The shoes seemed to be made of some kind of lizard skin, with half-heeled soles, and the uppers were so long that they almost reached her knees. Gillian felt that her shoes fit well, and she took two steps to get used to it before pushing the door open.
Victor was sitting by the campfire when he saw Gillian come out of the cabin, and his eyes lit up.
Gorgeous appearance, cold temperament, proud bust, slender and straight legs, with a tunic skirt and half-heeled boots, make Gillian full of queen style.
There are short skirts and half-heels in the kingdom of men. Short skirts are generally the clothing of ordinary women, who will wear long pants under short skirts, while aristocratic women will wear long skirts with semi-high-heeled crystal slippers. The combination of boots and skirts is the first time in this world. Between the short skirt and boots, a slick thigh is exposed, making Gillian look particularly sexy.
I have to say that this costume matches Gillian's temperament very well, and Victor is very satisfied with his prank.
Gillian walked to the campfire on her two long legs, and unceremoniously picked up the roasted venison and ate it first. After eating the venison and drinking a glass of purple cane wine, she said to Victor, "Did you change my clothes?"
"My maid is not here, I can't watch you fall asleep, can I? Victor shrugged, looking unimpressed, but he quietly slid out five meters away.
Gillian still had a cold face, but the cruelty in her eyes had disappeared, and if Victor dared to let the lowly male slave touch her body, Gillian would have to fight with him.
The aristocratic women of the human kingdom do not have any chaste morality, but they also have a taboo that cannot be violated: lowly men are not allowed to touch noble women. Once a princess of the kingdom was rescued by an ordinary farmer, who first canonized the farmer the hereditary title of lord, and then ordered the farmer to commit suicide, thus preserving the princess's reputation.
Victor was well aware of the taboos of the aristocracy, and although the male aristocracy was criticized for scrubbing the bodies and changing the clothes of unmarried noblewomen, as long as it was within the scope of assistance, this would not be blamed, but would become a good conversation. So, Victor happily completed the job and ordered the alchemy militia to make short skirts and boots based on Lilian's figure.
"Did you give me this peasant dress, to humiliate me?, Lord Viscount, what about your manners?" said Gillian angrily.
"Miss Chebman, there is not enough fabric here, and my clothes are not fit for your figure. Victor floated out of a distance of 5 meters quietly, and at the same time vaguely praised the figure of the female knight.
Gillian's face was slightly pale, but she could see that Victor had retreated to 10 meters away, and sneered: "As a silver-level shooter, since you are afraid of a noble lady who can't use her fighting spirit, I am really surprised by your courage." โ
Victor's heart moved, and he asked, "Miss Chebman, how do you know that I am a silver-level shooter?"
"There's no way for ordinary people to shoot silver-level monsters with military heavy crossbows, like your men. I can see very clearly that the crossbow you shoot is clearly surrounded by the wind elemental, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to shoot that Ant-Man even if it were a sneak attack. That's your talent for popularity, isn't it? Lord Wimbledon. Gillian said dismissively.
Ignoring Gillian's disdainful eyes, Victor breathed a sigh of relief, the structure of the Thursilver Heavy Crossbow was similar to that of the military Heavy Crossbow, and it was difficult to distinguish it from the appearance after being coated with green grass liquid, and it was not surprising that Gillian had such a misunderstanding.
"Miss Chebman, if you hadn't deliberately run towards my soldiers, they might not have been able to shoot that Ant-Man. Also, why did you expose my soldiers when you knew it was a silver-class monster?, don't you think such an act is despicable?" asked Victor with a cold face.
"In that case, not to mention a few ordinary soldiers, even the Pope I would have to run over. If it were you, how would you choose?"
Miss Chebman asked rhetorically, Victor was speechless, his life was in danger, in the face of a life-saving straw, who could care about the safety of others? Even if someone could do it, it must be a sage who could overcome the instinct of life, and Victor asked himself if he could do it.
"I saved your life by providing you with shelter and food. As is customary, I have the right to demand something in return from your family......"
Gillian interrupted Victor's words and said coldly, "I have already given you back, but you gave up on your own." If you regret it, I can give you another chance. I'm still pure. โ
Such an obvious hint made Victor's heart flutter, just thinking of Gillian's 15 points of physique, 15 points of spirit, 15 points of perception, and 15 points of life elemental attributes, he suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and said righteously: "Miss Chebman, as an unmarried lady, this will damage your reputation, so let's reciprocate in another way, such as ......"
"Well, it's up to you to give it up. A smug smile tugged at the corners of Gillian's mouth.
Victor let out a long breath, waited for the stuffiness in his chest to dissipate, and said in a deep voice, "I will send men to escort you back to the Chebman territory." โ
"I'm not leaving!" Gillian categorically rejected Victor's arrangement.
"This will not work, I have sent a messenger to inform Count Chebman of your situation. Victor's face sank, and he just wanted to get rid of this trouble now, so as not to get in the way of his plan to clear the ant colony.
"My armor and sword are still in your territory, and I won't leave until I get them back. Gillian shook her head and said, "Or, you can compensate me for 80,000 gold soles, and those equipment are all made of adamantite gold and Mithril......"
"Miss Chebman, now that you have had your fill, go back to the cabin and rest. My guards will make sure you are not disturbed. โ
