Chapter 4: Beyond the Royal City
Charlotte knew that she could not be martyred yet, because she had to warn Princess Elsa, but before the king died, Princess Elsa had been escorted to the neighboring city of Otlan. After the destruction www.biquge.info of the royal city, after the destruction of the royal city, the prince of Oran was escorted out of the royal city by the escort, no one knew where they went, perhaps they had already died on the way to escape, and the person who threatened Tanatos should be the prince of Oran, who should go to the rightful heir to the throne, not the princess who has no quarrel with the world.
Either way, she had to make a trip to Alteran, and while the three darts hadn't fatally wounded her, it seemed to have been subjected to black magic, and she felt weak, as if the darkness was eating away at her. Fortunately, I can still hold on, and I have to hurry up.
Halfway through, Charlotte met an elf, but dressed as a thief, carrying a big bag, may still be a robber, but Charlotte did not think that an elf who was a thief could defeat him, the elf's archery and concealment ability are indeed no race can match, but the swordsmanship accumulated in actual combat is not only determined by talent.
"Human, I'm just a person who carries the garbage of the royal city to make a living, I don't have the strength to rob," the elf seemed to notice Charlotte's hostility, "I was also in the royal city just now, maybe those monsters only cared about catching you and didn't notice me, or they disdained me, I still like the former, after all, it also gives me dignity." ”
"An elven thief, that's not very common. “
"Of course it's not common, there are only a handful of elves in this land, and there are groups of thieves, but there is only one elven thief. He still had a hint of pride.
"What kind of elves are you, I only know that there are a small number of elves in Alteran, if you are from Alteran, you may have committed some crime. Charlotte had something to say.
"Beautiful swordsman, I, Thran of Lorraine is a man with a head and a face, how can I commit a crime, and it is not a crime to carry garbage that no one wants, as for why I ended up here, the reason is very simple, those monsters broke through Aotran, slaughtered the city and set it on fire, and now Alterland is just a piece of ashes. ”
"When?!"
"About three years ago, didn't you watch the news? If you don't stay in that temple, you'll know, but now that the fog is so thick, maybe there is a group of northern monsters in the royal city, only you and I know. Who knows who they're going to target next......"
Charlotte didn't listen to what the rapping elf was talking about, the city of Otlan was wiped out by the dark army of Tanatos three years ago, which means that their target was not Princess Elsa at that time, and they may not know that Princess Elsa is there, but today Thanatos bluntly said that he wanted to find Elsa, which is really strange. “
"Hey, did you listen to me," the elf was still immersed in his own world, and it seemed that he hadn't spoken like this for a long time, "When I used to go to carry it, the council hall couldn't be opened, do you know why?"
"After the death of the old king, ordinary people will not be able to open the door of the council hall, because there is magic set by the old king himself, and the power of the old king is absolutely unmatched. “
"That's right, but today the leader of the monsters opened the gate and went in, led by one of his skinny men. The elves were clearly skeptical.
It seems that today's conversation with this elf can be described as very fruitful, it seems that Tanatos has found a way to open the door, but even if he gets the Crown of the Sage, Charlotte, who is the captain of the royal guard, knows that this is not as simple as the legend outside, the Crown of the Sage only belongs to the real Sage, ordinary people cannot control the Crown of the Sage, this group of devils naturally cannot obtain the power of the Crown, the Crown of the Sage cannot be destroyed, since they have obtained the Crown of the Sage, they can't destroy it, do they think that Elsa is a SageOr does Elsa know how to destroy the Crown of the Philosophers?
"Do you know any of the other survivors of Alteran, there is my friend there, I want to know if she's there, and I want to find a place to heal. Charlotte turned to the elves for help, and it was her only hope.
"Miss Swordsman can escape from the monster group, she is the person we need, besides, we can help each other to survive in troubled times, we actually have a big family, I hope you can find your friends. The elf motioned for Charlotte to follow him.
Thran was light on his feet and quick on his feet, and the fog that affected his vision could not hinder his keen eyes, and he might be the best guide in this world.
Following in the footsteps of the elves, they came to a well-hidden cave, and the elves signaled to the guards with bows and arrows at the door, and a new friend and a powerful one, and indeed this is a very difficult place to find a hideout.
The cave is neat and clean, and after the survivors of Alteran, each family has carved out their own small space in it, and everyone helps each other, and about 500 people enjoy a harmonious, at least temporary comfortable life. The elves told their companions about the day's experience and told the people about Charlotte's deeds. People welcomed her and paid tribute to her bravery.
The people of the Ottrands love honor, they still maintain a good chivalry tradition, and even after the country has been destroyed, they still have great respect for Charlotte, the former knight of the royal city guard. They called it Sanssouci House, a symbol of the survivors' hope for the rest of their lives. A former royal physician in Otran healed Charlotte and explained that she had fallen into a strange form of black magic that seemed to be incapable of causing much damage, and might only make her dizzy once in a while.
After Charlotte's wound was treated, Charlotte asked the old doctor, North, about Princess Elsa's whereabouts.
"After Princess Elsa came to Otland, she was closely guarded by the Marquis of Thor, and there was no welcome ceremony, and the princess did not participate in any ceremony, she was always in her own dormitory, and I, a quack, could not see her at all, and you also know it, Princess Elsa's healing skills are far above me, but Elsa can ask the royal lady-Rosa, she may know more than me, but that child is also suffering. Honour the memory of Lord Thor and the valiant Knights, and may they be immortal!"
"May they perish forever. ”
In a small room not far away, a girl dressed in the costume of a royal lady-in-waiting, although the clothes she wore were sewn and mended, it could still be seen that she cherished the cleanliness of the clothes. There was a homemade hanger in front of the simple bed, and Rosa was arranging a luxurious dress with her back to Charlotte, and she was more attentive to this dress, and she might not be willing to wear it.
"Are you the new lady, Rosa greetings you," came a voice as beautiful as a heavenly sound, but when she turned around, Rosa's eyes were covered by bandages, so that the upper part of her face was covered, and there were burn marks on other parts that were not covered by the bandages, which was in great contrast with her fair complexion, which should have been a great beauty.
"Was your eye the result of that attack?"
"Don't grieve for me, a fire, a Gordon fire (the most primitive fire of evil, powerful), and I'm lucky to be alive in this troubled time," she said in a calm tone, as if not distressed by the loss of her eyes, "Come and take a seat." ”
Explaining her intentions, Rosa's tone became less calm, and she seemed to be worried about the princess's safety. Charlotte learns from Rosa that the princess has fled to the Glasus region, and if she can, Rosa is willing to accompany Charlotte, but she may not be able to fight blindly, but she also knows some medical skills and can help.
Charlotte heard someone outside the door, and the sound was very soft, but it couldn't fool her ears. "Mr. Elf, are you eavesdropping?"
Therland immediately opened the door and came in, "How come, I only came to see Sister Rosa, and I have no intention of eavesdropping on you, haha, Sister Rosa, I picked a bell fruit and wanted to give it to you, do you want to eat it, beautiful swordsman?" Charlotte observed that Thran seemed to be very fond of Rosa, and if the elve's help would have been of great benefit to her journey, she would not have delved into his eavesdropping.
Watching Thran tell Rosa what she had seen and heard today, mixed with jokes, Rosa was very happy, and Charlotte sometimes laughed along, as if all her troubles had been forgotten. Worry-free living can indeed make people forget their sorrows for a while.
When night comes, Charlotte takes the initiative to stand guard at night, she likes the silence of the night, she can hear the breath of nature, and return to the most rustic stage of the world. From the bottom of her heart, she didn't want to involve Rosa and Therland in this matter, they had innocent and lovely qualities, she was afraid that she would bring disaster to them, but in the face of a grim situation, the increasingly powerful dark forces, if no one made efforts and no sacrifices, then no one would be spared. She prayed silently in her heart: "I am your people, O God, please observe me, encourage me, and forgive my sins."
