198 points of worry
Almost all of the slaves rescued by Ivy were left in Duret Cottage to start their own businesses, and the hateful and destructive rioters were doomed to no longer live a normal life.
And the female slaves, because Ivy personally cleared them of negative feelings, still had hope for the lives of ordinary people.
However, Ivy quietly left after doing good deeds, and these reborn women only knew that it was the people of the Holy See of Light who saved them, so they all took the initiative to join the local branch of the Holy See of Light, looking forward to the day when they would meet Ivy again.
Annette found this posting on the internal quest board of the Graeme branch of the Templar Order, which had been searching for Ivy for nearly a year, and completed the quest with ease.
"You're a dignified saint, I can't be the only one to take care of you, you should have your own personal guard!" said Annette.
"You're enough for me to be nerve-wracking. Ivy rubbed her temples bitterly, "And they're not like you, they're not trained Templars or anything like that, they're just ordinary nuns." ”
The process of cleaning up negative feelings is not brainwashing, these women who have suffered misfortunes will still remember that painful experience, but compared to being bound by the past, they cherish their current life more, bear hardships and stand hard work, know black and keep white, all of them are confidant sisters, good wives and mothers, and they are very popular among the church and the common people.
Speaking of combat, they have a special experience that can endure hardships, can receive rigorous training, and are also very tenacious, able to face the cruel battlefield and cruel strong enemies. But there is only one fly in the ointment, and that is that these nuns are very soft-hearted. You can't do anything to the enemy.
"We've learned all the primary magic techniques of the healing and defense departments, and we can also master some of the magic techniques that disperse evil, but the punishment department is not good at it. "The leading nun's name is Nancy, and although she is only 22 years old, she is already a mature one of them, after all, as a slave to be sold, her age is also a factor in raising the price.
"That's not bad, either. I actually don't support girls fighting and killing. Ivy's answer surprised the nuns.
"Huh, I thought that Saintess Ivy was the representative of the War Queens faction, and I always wanted to charge forward like you!"
"That's definitely a misunderstanding! I like gentle, intellectual, and sympathetic types, and women who fight and kill are the most annoying. ”
"You mean. You actually hate fighting and killing, but do you have to do it? Otherwise, what are you saying as a woman?"
Of course, the nuns will not understand Ivy's manly heart. They just pondered what Ivy meant, and when they thought about it, they were a little biased: "It turns out that Miss Ivy who is decisive is also a slender girl, she hides her inner weakness in order for us to continue our peaceful daily life, and has no choice but to support a piece of the world with a tough attitude?" Miss Ivy, you are so great, worthy of being a new saint!"
Seeing that the nuns were very moved, Ivy didn't know that her words were incomprehensible to become like this, and she returned the shadow of the famous tree. The ancients did not deceive the surplus, and as soon as the identity of this saint fell, it really added a bit of the spirit of the king, and there were admirers who came to defect.
"Since everyone is so enthusiastic, let's set up a pro-guard team to have fun. Ivy said.
"Yes! There are 120 sisters here today. In addition, more than 50 people have arrived one after another, all of them have been reborn because of you, and they are absolutely loyal to you!" Nancy tried her best to be strict, but she couldn't hide her great joy.
Relatively speaking, Ivy didn't take this very seriously: "Oh, then Nancy, you will be the captain of the personal guard." The remaining one hundred and twenty people are the vice-captains 1 to 119, and there will be new members in the future as for Annette, she is the only member of the pro-guard!"...,
"Wait, wait, did you mean that you just did?" Nancy and the dozens of nuns who joined the gang suspected that they had misheard.
"Don't you mean that there are 180 vice-captains, and one of my team members?" Annette said that the shot was very strange: "I contacted them to increase your majesty, after all, the Aunt's Legion of the Glaishin Chamber of Commerce has more than 100 members and more than 300 bodyguards, and we can't lose in momentum." ”
"I care more about freedom than about that. Ivy smiled with a planned expression: "The vice-captains are all good women with full emotional intelligence, good wives and good mothers, Annette, you have to learn more from them and become a lovely person." ”
Annette didn't respond immediately, but lowered her head and thought something in pieces: "That's right, this personal guard is just a small team of personal bodyguards, I am the full-time saintess guardian knights selected by the order through the formal process, in order to be able to better take care of Ivy saints, the necessary sacrifices are worth it!"
There was nothing to say that night, Ivy asked the nun guards and the crew of the Ann Lace to practice together, and with a large number of healing sisters, the crew was full of fighting spirit and practiced their basic fists and feet.
Mrs. Oran soon came to talk to Ivy, emphasizing that the original bet was about 20 people against 300 people, and that the foreign aid added later could not participate in the war and could not break his promise.
Ivy agreed with the attitude of a kindergarten aunt, and it was not easy to send Mrs. Ollie away, who turned back three times.
She doesn't take victory or defeat seriously, and uses 22 people who don't know how to fight against more than 300 top bodyguards with their own unique skills, and she has to keep her hands everywhere to avoid serious injuries, who would play this masochistic game.
Anyway, let's practice first, and be in a state of excitement at any time, so that in the event of an unknown enemy attack, my aunt and their bodyguard group will also be considered to have warmed up, and they will not be killed in an instant.
During the crew's drills and breaks, Ivy also asks Nancy about the Slave Chamber of Commerce, after all, they are the head snakes.
Although there was still no clue about the result, Ivy heard an interesting message:
The bandits roaming the Purple Town area are all sharpshooters, and they have used old muskets to keep this barren territory.
Although there is no oil and water here, it may also be the reason why other dragon and snake forces are unwilling to spend a lot of money to expand. But standing up to a notoriously bloodthirsty orc gang with a notoriously ineffective musket is a remarkable achievement in itself.
So, with the replacement of Graeme's mechanical weapons, will the bandits in Zijin Town be able to go to the next level after seizing the new weapons?
Ivy herself has already shot at gun-wielding bandits, and if she is asked to evaluate the real combat power of this group of people who are actually only at the level of ordinary people, she has to be impressed.
And that's just shooting in a tight space, but riding and archery in the wilderness are the two major skills that stand apart. When the combination of "riding" and "shooting" is the real multiplicative effect, the combat power cannot be ignored!
The bandits in Zijin Town are loosely organized, and there is a unique set of rules for wanting to be a big brother. That is to show strength and gain recognition by riding and shooting.
If they used Dou Qi or magic or the like, even if they killed all the little thieves in Zijin Town, they would not give in.
But who can convince them with their horseback riding and shooting skills? The cowboys, who were born in the wilderness as children, willingly accepted the newcomer as their boss.
"Ride, add, shoot?" Ivy chuckled playfully as she chewed on the phrase.
People in this world have always been proud of their own strength, often ignoring the role of external forces, especially non-magical weapons.
However, Ivy from Earth knows deeply that the power of a large amount of firepower is definitely no less than that of the forbidden spell, and in terms of cost, whether it is the cost of time or the cost of materials. The cost performance is beyond the reach of magical power. ...,
"I feel like I've found the taste of playing games in the past, all kinds of war fog around, and there are only a few troops in my hands, but the combination of healing and rangers is the most obscene!
Ivy was thinking about the possibilities of real-time strategy, even though she thought it was YY. However, for those who only need half an hour of sleep and often have to survive long nights of idleness, since entering the stage where basic exercises have not achieved much effect, cranky thinking is the best way to pass the time.
"Haven't you slept yet, Ivy?" Ruri quietly made her way to the top seat of the boat where Ivy was basking in the moon.
"Actually, I just woke up. "Ivy is no longer clinging to the glass like she used to. Because sometimes she has a sense of déjà vu for herself, and think about how terrible it would be if Ruri became as afraid of herself as she was to Annette.
So, keeping the right distance is the trick to getting along for a long time, and being able to look at Ruri calmly is a sign of the relationship between the two in disguise.
Ruri sat quietly next to Ivy, and the contact between the corners of her clothes was very reassuring, it was a different type of intimacy with a warm body hug, a kind of family-like serenity.
"Ivy, you've been busy lately, can you tell me about your troubles?"
Ruli's concerned gaze moved Ivy very much, and immediately explained:
"Ah, I'm sorry, did you mean that I snubbed you? Actually, I have a playful attitude towards Zijin Town, those are not a big deal, I will definitely accompany you more in the future"
"No, no, you misunderstood, please don't delay your business because of me!" Ruri expressed her feelings awkwardly: "Actually, the way you think deeply about something, it's very charming, compared to the usual over-enthusiastic look, I prefer you who are quiet, not that I hope you are always sad, I just think, I hope to be needed by many people like you, and can help many people." ”
"Do you mean, I want to do something meaningful as my helper, instead of doing my own thing?" Ivy was very surprised, and there were even tears in her eyes: "I understand, Ruri looks cold, and her real character is indeed a warm-hearted big sister, and she is not as coquettish and willful as other girls, but the more she is needed, the happier she is, and the act of practicing medicine all over the Haken Plains, saying that it is to study the virus, in fact, you really want to help those who are suffering from illness, right?" It's the person I'm obsessed with, and the goddess is nothing more than that. ”
It is said that in the current popular remarks, the unattainable woman in her mind is jokingly called the goddess, which really ruined the word goddess.
Ivy realized: "I heard that men are the most attractive when they think seriously, and Ruri herself is also a person on the research side, so she probably has a greater sense of identity with me when thinking about problems, so I should be able to earn a lot of favorability by maintaining a more thoughtful appearance." ”
Unlike Ivy who is so muddy and muddy as she thinks about the problem, Ruri, as a real researcher on the side of the problem, always sees the problem to the point: "Your recent action is to make those 20 or so crew members fight against 300 bodyguards, right? According to my analysis, it is almost impossible." ”
"Since even you said that, I guess you really can't win. Ivy resigned herself to her fate, "I didn't plan to win, but when the time comes, I am still confident that they will not be killed or injured, not to mention that the experience of defeat is more than the gain of victory." ”
Ruri retorted: "I think for a group of people who have been suppressed for a long time, a big success after a hard work is essential, this time they train so hard, I'm afraid it's the last effort, it's the only remaining hope pinned on you, once this time also fails, they will agree with their doomed fate, even if more experience is useless." ”
"What's more, I said it's almost impossible, but there is still hope to win, and this victory is so important to them, even if it is a means of cheating, it is worth it. ”
"Well, you really like to put other people's affairs first, and you often wronged yourself. Ivy looked at Ruri with some distress, the girl who turned herself into a zombie only showed a serious side when helping others.
To be honest, when a researcher is ruthless, the sense of oppression is unprecedentedly strong.
"You don't think about virus-modifying those crew members. Ivy said the best way she could think of it.
"I don't do cruel things to others. Ru Li picked up Ivy and ran to the real room: "Follow me, this plan has to start with you." ”
