Chapter 42 Rules are meant to be broken
Xue Lan didn't know why, when she saw the strange boy for the first time, an inexplicable feeling rose in her heart.
This good feeling is not emotional, but simply felt.
Why is this person so pleasing to the eye?
It's not because of her appearance, it's not because of her behavior, it's just that for no reason, she just thinks so inexplicably.
Xue Lan was curious about why she had this thought, so she subconsciously began to pay attention to him from the moment he appeared.
Then she realized that this natural feeling did not seem to be unreasonable.
Because of her bravery, she instinctively regarded him as a descendant of generals.
After all, there are more and more indulgent people among the nobles now, and few people will recall that the reason why the nobles are nobles is because they once made great contributions to the royal country with their blood, and only a few military families will maintain the inheritance of bravery.
- The family has been inherited for a long time, which is a point that she is more valued.
I don't know them, maybe because they have been affected in the political struggle, and they have been relegated to remote areas and have no access to the inner circle.
But just such background factors still can't seem to explain this natural favorability.
Then the strange boy proved with his actions that he himself also possessed the qualities she preferred.
In addition to his bravery in slaying orcs, he is also willing to protect the weak and lend a helping hand; In the face of his own identity and background, which is much higher than his, he is neither humble nor arrogant, and he does not flatter her when he sees her like most people.
But that's not the most important thing.
The most important thing is that he is willing to chase glory and try things that are impossible for him.
The defeat of one person is something that many people dare not say, and he not only said it, but also seriously wanted to do it.
You must know that there is no way to use alchemy props to please tricks.
For an orc army of that size, one hundred and eighty alchemy props that a warlock of their level could use was not enough.
So even though Xue Lan didn't think he could do it, she was still willing to appreciate him and encourage him a little.
If he does well on the rest of the journey, she will also consider helping him a little later.
For example, if he wanted the family to return to the royal capital, she wouldn't mind using the resources she had to help him in exchange for his allegiance to her, so that she could have more choices in the future......
"Miss."
The whisper of her own maid interrupted Xue Lan's thoughts.
Looking sideways, I saw her ask in confusion, "That's not what you said before." โ
"Before?" Xue Lan felt a little inexplicable, "What did I say before." โ
"That's it...... Didn't that Ziegler promise something that he couldn't do before, and your answer to him at that time seemed a little different from what he does now, but their behavior ...... It doesn't seem to make a difference. Lily tried her best to keep Lolai's true identity from being revealed, and at the same time bewildered to seek answers.
In this regard, Xue Lan only raised her eyebrows and did not make a sound.
It seems that it is indeed a little different.
But it's also normal.
She is also just a person, and her attitude towards what she likes and dislikes is definitely different.
At the beginning, Ziegler's classmate sent her some exaggerated but unintentional letters all day long, which really made her feel a little overstepping, even if he later achieved something that ordinary people could not do, because the first impression was too bad, it was difficult for her to change her opinion.
After all, she doesn't need to be inflammatory.
As for the strange classmate he is facing now......
Although Xue Lan didn't have to take him under his command, at least he didn't do anything disgusting to her, and on the contrary, his behavior traits were all what she thought was good.
So, the first impression of people is really important....... Lily, who peeked out the truth from her young lady's expression, thought silently.
Although she didn't know why her young lady had a good impression of the current Luolai, the matter had been done, and it didn't seem to make much sense to pursue the truth.
The result is .......
It's a good show to watch again.
โ.......โ
Glancing at the inexplicable inexplicable smile on the little maid's face, Xue Lan withdrew her gaze and looked at the young man who had picked up the big stick again.
"You're ready to go?"
"Hmm."
Rolley nodded slightly.
He wasn't going to stay here for too long, but now that he had a conversation, it dragged on a little longer.
"Still not ready to recruit more soldiers, as I said?"
"No, you don't."
"I'm confident enough in myself." Xue Lan said softly, "There has never been anyone who has participated in this trial in the past who has been so determined to go your own way. โ
"Although the orcs are just mirages, it is not difficult to break them easily, but there are too many of them, and the human magic at this stage of our stage is completely insufficient, and there is no one else to help you support the scene, you may ....... You don't necessarily get under the walls. โ
"No one has ever done it."
Rolley grinned.
"Then I'll do it."
"Maybe it's a law in the annals of history, but."
He raised his iron rod.
"-Rules, that's what they are meant to break!"
So breaking the rules is actually following the rules.
Right?
.......
Perhaps it was because of the dark clouds and the moon, and the entire Greystone Town seemed so turbulent at the moment.
"Bell, bell, bellโ"
A few militiamen hurried through the streets of the town, looking at the iron armor that made a loud noise in their hands.
"Everyone, get up, pack your things and get ready to evacuate!"
The man who was asleep woke up suddenly.
"What's the matter, you have to evacuate so suddenly, didn't you say before that the orcs didn't come in so quickly?"
"It should be that the front line is tight."
"The children are all gone, there is nothing left for us old things to withdraw, if they dare to come, we will dare to drag a few into the water!"
โ.......โ
"Don't discuss it!"
Grove, the captain of the Graystone militia, is a powerful man with a rough and loud voice.
"Hurry up, don't want to bring anything, just grab some food."
"Now, at once, head south!"
"Hurry up!!"
"What the hell is going on, Grove." When a middle-aged man who was more familiar with the captain passed by the old man with his arms, he asked suspiciously, "I remember not long ago, didn't someone passing by bring news that it was impossible for orcs to cross Horrenster without a year or two?" โ
Grove didn't explain, only urged: "You don't care, hurry up and get yours." โ
In the minds of the vast majority of ordinary people, Horenster, as a fortress city specially built for a possible war, could not be destroyed in just over a month after the battle.
However, according to the tangible information he had just received, Horrenster was close to being lost, and the orcs were about to make their way deeper into the human realm.
What they ordinary civilians know is just rumors, but they still believe in these unreliable gossip.
"You ....."
Grove, who was about to speak, suddenly felt something in his heart and looked into the distance.
"No, it's not."
He looked at the blazing red lines of the skyline and muttered to himself.
It turns out that not only are the rumors unreliable, but even the real information is not necessarily entirely correct.
"Horlenst, maybe it's not just about getting close."
"It's more likely that it's been trampled into ruins by the orcs."
