Chapter 347: Bad News

"Three, four, five, six, seven!" Rommel, who leaned on the sofa and hugged Angela, threw out five cards, because today is the day when the students go to the dream world to practice, except for Don Quixote on duty, the other teachers are resting, of course, all of a sudden Don Quixote is going out, so Carol, who knows the most about virtual dreams, replaces Don Quixote to guard those students, even if it is a dream, if there is no powerful mage to guard, it is very likely to fall into it and can't extricate himself, after all, Don Quixote's virtual reality is too realistic, "Does anyone want it?"

"I want to!" Char Jean, who was also holding Shirley, licked her lips and threw out five cards.

"I said," said Don Quixote, sighing as he looked at the women, "have you listened to me? ”

"Oh, let's go, let's go!" Rommel waved his hand impatiently, "remember to go to the main city and buy me something to eat when you come back." ”

"Me too, darling!" Kyle, who was sitting cross-legged, waved at Don Quixote.

"Long time no see, Lord Irelia," under the positioning of the communication spell, Don Quixote, who galloped all the way, spent about an hour to come to the agreed place, it was the afternoon, the two pure-blood elves set up a tent by a stream in the dense forest, and were sitting in the tent eating lunch, he only knew the rare elf demeanor, eating like a hungry wolf, and the other man who looked very gentle, very clean, the pure-blood elf he had never seen before.

For Don Quixote's sudden appearance, and there was no warning, this pure-blooded elf with the male surname was also a little surprised, after all, he was also a mage of the realm, and even now he couldn't see Don Quixote's true strength, he seemed to be wrapped in some kind of enchantment, preventing all psionic snooping, but this surprise was also fleeting, who hasn't had some of their own secrets and hole cards?

"Long time no see," Irelia wiped her mouth, stood up and walked over to Don Quixote, and hugged him.

"Ha," Don Quixote, who picked up Irelia, laughed, "I haven't seen you for a few years, but your appetite is still so good, and it has sunk a lot, and it hasn't been so heavy last time I hugged you." ”

"Yes!" In response to Don Quixote's somewhat ambiguous and even misleading words, Irelia raised her eyebrows, and with a sharp force of her two arms, she heard the bones under Don Quixote's muscles creaking, of course, the end of her doing so was to let the two lumps of flesh on her chest make too full contact with Don Quixote.

So Don Quixote, who didn't change her face, whispered a word in her ear, chest, and after that, Irelia blushed and shook off Don Quixote, "Why didn't you see Queen Jean?"

Don Quixote shook his head, "She has something to do, she can't leave it for the time being, just tell me anything." ”

In fact, after Don Quixote received a notice from Irelia, and knew that this matter was related to "Lantes", he planned to go out to meet them by himself, the reason was very simple, let them go to the Sixth Ring, it would easily attract Leon's attention, and then let "Lantes" know that no matter what Irelia was looking for him, he would have already startled the snake, and Don Quixote, who had always been careful, would not capsize in this kind of gutter.

As for Char Jean, as her husband, he can make decisions for Char Jean in everything, so naturally there is no need for her to take the initiative to make an extra trip, and Don Quixote does not want Char Jean and Rommel to be separated, so it is very likely that "Lantes" will have a chance.

"This is Master Krent, and I'm just like Ivan-sama's subordinate," Irelia gestured to Krent, who was sitting in front of the tent, "but what he hates most is that he's always so serious." ”

"An," Krent, who had been staring at the magic array on Don Quixote's chest, stood up and performed a mage salute, and seemed to have a great interest in the magic robe on Don Quixote's body, not the function of the magic array, but the magic array itself, obviously the vast majority of mages will still have admiration for Don Quixote in the attainments of the magic array, regardless of their own level.

"Ann," Don Quixote politely returned the courtesy, and around the small table in the tent, Don Quixote also sat down on the wooden pier prepared for him, "What is going on?"

On a wide and smooth road, a carriage that seemed to have been lengthened was heading west at a speed that was neither fast nor slow, just enough to ensure that the carriage would not be too bumpy, and on this carriage sat several people, including the driver of the driver's carriage, who should have been adventurers or mercenaries in terms of attire, for although this carriage was not very luxurious, it was also very valuable, and it seemed to have been recently renovated.

"Stop!" After driving on this straight road for a long time, after approaching the palace of the forest in the lake, the carriage was intercepted by the soldiers, "The front is the British royal palace, and the idle people are not allowed to enter!"

"Hiss~hiss~" The coachman grabbed the reins, stopped the carriage, and jumped out of the back of the carriage with a female surname, who looked to be in her thirties, giving people a suave feeling, and most importantly, this female surname was also half-elf, which made the soldier's vigilance lower a lot, because in the Kingdom of Britain, half-elf enjoyed a lot of rights, after all, the king of this country was half-elf.

"Who are you?" the soldier's tone was noticeably softened, and he walked over to the half-elf with his weapon in hand, "This is the royal palace of Britain, and you are not allowed to enter without an invitation or a token. ”

The half-elf woman smiled at the rather friendly soldier, and took out a letter from her bosom and a token, "Please pass this on to the Queen, or to the Chief Merlin, or anyone else who can meet these two." ”

The soldier wanted to laugh, and by the way, he admonished this half-elf, whether it was Chief Merlin or Queen Arthur, but she didn't want to see it, but when he saw the token, he almost knelt down in fright, because it was the only little princess in Britain, Arthur Leah's special token, as a professional soldier guarding the gate, he was not the first time to see this token, so he knew that this matter must be very important, after taking the token and the letter, he muttered a few words to his companions on the side, and ran towards the depths of the palace like a gust of wind――

"That is, when you met Leah, she was already lying peacefully on the **?" Merlin, the de facto supreme executor of power in Britain, looked as if he had suddenly aged dozens of years at the moment, because the carriage brought back the body of Leah, although she was frozen at the moment, and looked as if she was still alive, but she was indeed dead, if it weren't for Arthur Pendrey's retreat now, Merlin gritted his teeth and insisted, this old man who was no longer young seemed to really faint to death, since ancient times, it has been one of the most tragic things in the world for white-haired people to send black-haired people.

"Yes, yes," The half-elf woman looked directly at Merlin, and the four middle-aged men behind him with the same iron complexion, naturally these four people are the reserves and strength of the British Empire, the four knights of the royal family, although they may have some complaints about Arthur Pendley, but they all like this cute little princess from the bottom of their hearts, especially Thomas, I am afraid that among the four knights of the royal family, he has the best relationship with the little princess, so when he wanted to say something, Merlin decisively stretched out his hand to stop this man, he knew very well that this guy's temper was not too good.

"Whew~~" Merlin took a deep breath, "Well, Ms. Joy, could you please tell me the whole thing you know." ”

"Naturally," seeing these big knights with unkind faces, Joey seemed to accept this task with some regrets, and if he didn't get angry with him, I was afraid that he would not be able to get out of here alive, but fortunately, this Mage Merlin was still calm and rational, "About five or six days ago, we received this task commission, and we also sent the commission money, and when we got there, Her Royal Highness the princess was no longer there, and then for fear that Her Royal Highness's body would be damaged, so I used an ice spell to freeze it." ”

"So you're not sure if it's Leah who entrusted you with the task?"

"Yes, we didn't see the client. ”

Thomas walked up to Leah's ice coffin, glanced at her fingers, and sure enough, the space ring was still there, which made his doubts lower a lot, you must know that the value of a space ring is far higher than their mission, even if they receive the task to snatch the ring and destroy the corpse, the British Empire will not have any way to track it down, "In addition to the letter and token, did Leah leave anything else?"

"No, when we went, the letter was pressed on the table by the token. ”

After a long time, Merlin nodded, "Thank you for escorting Leah back all the way, if you don't dislike it, please rest in the palace, and I will ask the servant to give you another payment later." ”

"Thank you Lord Merlin for your generosity," Joey did not refuse Merlin's kindness, after all, mercenaries are for money, and if they refuse, it will cause unnecessary trouble.

"Lord Merlin, now," Thomas shook the ice coffin with his hand after Joey left, "are you going to tell the Queen?"

"I'll go," Merlin sighed, "you send Leah to the Chamber of Secrets first, and the rest will be decided by the Queen." ”

"It's good" -

"Tsk~" Don Quixote licked his lips, holding a cup full of warm water in both hands, looking very calm, it seemed that he was happy or sad from his expression, but it could be seen from his gaze that he seemed to stay for a while from time to time, as if he was recalling something.

After a long time, when Krent's words fell, he sighed, "When did you start following Leah?"

Krent thought for a moment, "Two or three years ago, but at that time, she had been traveling on the mainland for almost two years, so it added up to more than four years, less than five years. ”

"Five years," Don Quixote took a slow sip, "I know, I'll take the initiative to contact the Queen of Light Elves when I go to the funeral, and," Don Quixote stretched out his hand and pointed to the tent, "Can you give this to me, I want to be alone here for a while." ”

"Don't be too sad, Don't be too sad, Your Excellency," Irelia, who had a good relationship with Don Quixote, gently hugged Don Quixote from the side and handed a leaf to Don Quixote, "If necessary, you can use this leaf to summon my lord that day, and it is not a bad thing to have more people." ”

"Thank you," Don Quixote smiled slightly, "you're going to have to eat less in the future, look, you have a double chin." ”

"Smack~~"――

Finally, Don Quixote seemed to be the only one left in the huge forest, except for the occasional cry of some kind of magical beast, after all, it was still winter, although the trees in the forest of Comanso were not afraid of the cold, and they would not shed their leaves in winter, but most of the beasts still hibernated, in order to survive this cold winter.

"Whew~" Don Quixote, who took a deep breath, pinched hard, and the water cup in his hand was smashed by him, and then he raised his head slightly, staring blankly at the stream in front of him, calm and incomprehensible, but if you look closely, you can find that he is crying, but the tears have not left his eye sockets have been evaporated by spiritual energy, obviously he really likes this somewhat arrogant woman.
