221 This is the best of times, this is the worst of times (9)

The elf girl with lofty ideals didn't think of any good way, but she was still in a better mood to come out for a walk.

The maid Lena followed her young lady out, and she didn't have to worry about being taken away by the little master, so she recovered her usually suppressed girlish heart, and secretly pinched a few handfuls of beautiful wildflowers in her hands behind her and sniffed them from time to time.

Three hours after the outing had passed, Melinda felt a little tired and found a place to sit down and rest, and Lena obediently asked for orders to find a water source and get some water.

Melinda granted, and after the maid left, she leaned against the stone and thought about her own thoughts.

After a while, she suddenly heard a scream, and the scream was filled with fear.

She jumped to her feet, for the sound was familiar, if I heard it correctly, very much like Lena's.

Melinda immediately chanted a speed-increasing wind spirit technique to herself, and ran wildly in the direction she had just spoken.

After running for a short time, a figure staggering over in front of her was her poor little maid, but at this time she was pale, as if she had seen a ghost, and her body was a little embarrassed, and there was a water stain on her chest, which seemed to have been splashed on herself.

"What's going on?" Melinda asked, just as she saw that there were still pursuers in the direction where the little maid had fled.

"Centaurs?!" Melinda said in surprise, and it was a Centaur who was chasing after Lena. He was mostly naked, only a few vital parts were covered with armor, and it was strange that he didn't even have a weapon in his hand.

The Centaurs of the Emerald Continent and the Haus clan among the orcs of the Azure Continent have a common ancestor, and they can almost be regarded as a branch of the Haus clan.

When the High Elves retreated from the Azure Continent, they took with them the tribe where the Centaurs were located. Because even it's all House. But in the eyes of the High Elves, it is also different. The one left in the Azure Continent was undoubtedly uglier and much more violent, while the one they took away was relatively docile and handsome.

Then, then that tribe took root with the High Elves after they arrived in the Emerald Continent, and after many years of them, their numbers were almost catching up with the High Elves.

Lena was chased by a white centaur army, and there were also classes in the centaurs. Usually white centaurs have a higher status and colored centaurs have a lower status because the High Elves like white centaurs.

"What are you from, Iron Horse, Land Rover, Audi, or Isuzu, and you dare to chase my maid, you're offending me!" Melinda took her handmaiden and stopped in front of the white horse.

The white horse reluctantly stopped, watching his target hide behind Melinda, his eyes rolling sharply, but facing a high elf aristocratic girl, both in terms of identity and force. He was very jealous.

"I'm sorry she's your maid. Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. The white horse gave a fierce look at the little maid hiding behind Melinda, and slowly retreated unwillingly, then turned sharply, spread his hooves and ran.

"Stop!" said Melinda, who had clearly ill her handmaiden in the light of what had just happened.

But her words did not stop the centaurs, who pretended not to hear a puff of smoke and ran away, and a faint smell came from the wind he was blowing.

The adult High Elves are fifth-order creatures, and the Centaurs are third-order creatures, and the Centaurs may be a little stronger than the average Centaurs, but they are still only third-order elites or third-order strong, and their leaders and tribal leaders have higher-order strength, but the speed of the Centaurs is innate, and the endurance is extremely strong, like if it wasn't for Melinda coming over in time just now, Lena is at most equivalent to the strength of a first-order creature, and she will definitely not be able to escape the pursuit of the Centaurs.

"Damn bastard, I'm going to have to find out which Centaur tribe he's from. Melinda stomped her feet, and the names of several centaur tribes she had just mentioned were all near Pei Ji.

"Miss. Lena said in shock.

"What the hell is going on, why is he chasing you?" Melinda felt that her good mood had recovered a little from the outing was ruined again, but she had to ask what was going on first.

Lena glanced at Melinda, but didn't speak.

"Hmm, what the hell is going on? Melinda keenly sensed that something was wrong from the way her maid wanted to speak and stopped.

"Miss, let's leave, they're in danger. Lena said in fits and starts.

"What's the danger?" Melinda asked.

"It's not just the one just now, they're all like the young master. Lena said with some fear.

"Like the young master?" Melinda was dazed, but the next moment the scent that had just come from the white centaur revealed to her.

"Are you saying that these centaurs just smoked ambergris? Like the young master, were they just brutalizing others, and then chasing you as a target?" asked Melinda.

Lena nodded timidly, which couldn't help but make Melinda angry.

The Terrans of the Emerald Continent retreated with the High Elves at the beginning, and their lives were different from those of the Centaurs. Although the appearance of the Centaurs is liked by the High Elves, the High Elves will always mind their orc status, so what did the Centaurs do when they first came to the Emerald Continent? In addition to being regarded as low-level soldiers, it is the rough and heavy work of pulling trucks and goods, and later the number of them is increasing, and they are allowed to live in the wild and form a tribe.

The human race that was brought was different, at least half of them were assigned to those middle and upper elf families as slaves, after a few generations, the original people who knew the history at the beginning have died of old age, and the new ones have grown up as servants in various high elf families and become the sons of their families, like Lena is an example, her parents are servants in Melinda's family, so her daughter has been sent to serve Melinda since birth.

"I'm going to stop them!" Melinda was now not only angry that her maid was being chased and molested, but according to Liana, the centaur and his companions were being violent to others, especially because they had also smoked ambergris.

Melinda fluttered on her tiptoes like a bird, and chased in the direction where the centaur had just disappeared.

"Miss. Miss. Don't go. Dangerous. The little maid Lena shouted from behind, but Melinda was far away.

"What can I do?" said Liana, anxiously.

My young lady hasn't heard everything yet, and there are not just one or two people there, but nearly thirty.

Melinda ran in that direction for a while, and sure enough, she noticed an anomaly.

There was a burst of unbridled laughter in front of her, and she rushed over without thinking, and then she saw a scene that made her ashamed and angry.

Three or four Terran women were forced to stand with their hands on the rock wall with their backs facing outward, their clothes in tatters. As if after some violence, behind them, two centaurs of color and a white centaur were raising their front feet on their shoulders and committing violence from behind.

This position may be liked by the thugs, but for these poor women, not only do they have to endure the violence, but they also have to support the huge and heavy bodies of the centaurs.

When Melinda arrived, the three women could no longer support it, and they changed from buttresses to kneeling. But even so, the Centaur thugs were still enjoying themselves. Won't stop.

There were also some thugs around who were resting or watching the atrocities of their comrades.

In the middle of the mob, a small pot hung from which the smell of ambergris paste came.

"Damn bastards!" Melinda could not tolerate such atrocities, especially against the weak and women in front of her.

She leapt down and drew a short sword, only to remember that she had not brought her usual long sword with her because it was a temporary distraction, only a short sword.

But even with a short sword, she was confident.

Passing the edge of the sword, a wound appeared in the neck of a centaur thug who was feeling extremely comfortable, and blood spurted out like a fountain.

The criminal struggled to withdraw from his body to see who had attacked him, but Melinda's second sword slashed at his throat and nearly sliced his thick neck entirely.

That was the end of his intentions, and the first thug died.

After Melinda killed the first villain, the rest of the centaurs have not reacted, including the other two who are committing violence.

She kills the second centaur with her own hands, at which point the other centaur who was doing something bad finally reacts, and he hurriedly retreats and screams, waking up the other groggy thugs.

The thugs the guys and surrounded Melinda in the middle, at least a dozen of them.

But Melinda was unafraid, and she thought she should be able to handle a dozen or so horses.

"Yes, it's an elf. The centaur thugs recognized Melinda's identity and immediately hesitated to do it.

"Get out of here, I'm Melinda, the daughter of Edgar, the lord of Peiji City, I declare you all criminals in the name of the High Elves, I will take them back for healing, and you follow me back to be punished, otherwise the bastard just now will be your fate. Melinda exclaimed.

Her chest heaved violently in anger, but at the same time it occurred to her that this was an opportunity to convince her father and the more elves to ban the trade in ambergris.

It is inconvenient for her to take her younger brother as an example, but the group of bastards in front of her is even more hateful, and it just happens to be exposed.

The centaurs hesitated, as Melinda had speculated, because they had smoked ambergris cream and felt unusually excited, and then attacked a small human village, not killing a few people, but taking the women inside, because instinct made them want to vent, and snapping was a good way.

"Don't listen to her, if we're on trial it's over, catch her. Suddenly, a voice rang out.

From the other direction, seven or eight more centaurs came over, led by a tall white centaur who had almost taken Lena away before.

"Shahush, but she's an elf, and she says she's the daughter of the lord of Fiji City. A colored centaur hesitated.

"So what? If she runs away, we're dead. Just listen to me, grab her, and dispose of her like these Terran women, I haven't tasted such a noble body yet. The white horse, known as Shahush, grinned and quickly joined the siege with the newcomers.

Oops, Melinda felt the slightest bit wrong, if there were only a dozen or so centaurs from before. She was undaunted. But add seven or eight. It would have been almost impossible for her to escort the victims away.

"Do it, grab her, the bravest can be the first to enjoy her. Shahush ordered.

The centaur mob attacked Melinda, and the elven girl could no longer protect the victim she had been lifting, raising her short sword to parry, while chanting a secondary spell to bless her power.

The mob attacked one after another, and the most hateful thing was that Shahush did not rush up, but stood outside the circle and commanded.

If the enemy is only half. The current victor must be Melinda, but the number is beyond the limit of what she can handle, and these thugs must be from the same tribe, and they are quite skilled in daily hunting operations.

Especially that Shahush actually has a bit of command talent, if it weren't for his command, Melinda would at least be able to break through the siege, so that although she can't save people for the time being, she can at least get out of danger and then ask for help.

Now the thugs are entangled to death, and the weapons in their hands don't fit well. Melinda felt more and more strained.

The agitation of the shahush sounded in his ears again, and he could see that Melinda's strength was being drained. So he encouraged his companions.

Melinda killed two thugs by chanting magic and three thugs under her daber, but one of her legs paid the price.

"Well done, her leg is injured and she can't run away anymore, so the brothers work harder. Shahush laughed.

Melinda felt both angry and humiliated, that the noble, righteous elves had been mocked by these shameful, vile thugs, and that it was not good to continue like this.

Melinda clenched her dagger and made up her mind that if she really couldn't break through before she ran out of strength, she would have to kill herself, lest she be insulted by the thugs.

At this moment, suddenly a fiery meteor fell from the sky and smashed into the body of Shahush, knocking the tyrannical and cunning leader of the centaur thug directly into the air and blazing.

Then came the magic missiles, and some low-level spells appeared on the spot, disrupting the centaurs besieging Melinda.

Except for the fire meteor at the beginning, after the mid-level spell, the later low-level spells actually couldn't kill the centaurs of the third-order creatures, but their leader was killed by the spell that preempted the people, and then there was a series of attacks, but they didn't know what was going on.

These centaur thugs were still a little afraid of Mei Linda's self-proclaimed identity just now, and when they were attacked at this time, they couldn't help but think about whether Pei Ji's high elves came to help.

Someone to help?Melinda perked up and immediately launched a counterattack against the enemies who were panicked by the attack.

"Run. The thugs, ignoring their companions, began to flee in all directions.

Melinda waved her short sword and killed another centaur, just about to chase the second one, but she had to stop because of the pain in her legs, and she could only watch the rest of the thugs scatter in a hurry.

"Are you alright?" she saw a figure approaching, and subconsciously raised her short sword, until she heard the other party's question, and then thought that this might be the person who had helped her just now.

"Miss, are you alright?" said Lina's voice of surprise.

Melinda saw clearly that a Terran man was reaching out to her in a gesture of support, but she looked a little embarrassed because she didn't respond, and behind him was her little maid Lena.

"Miss, you are too reckless, I didn't have time to go back to the city to find someone to help you, but fortunately I met this gentleman, who heard that you were in danger and hurried over. ”

"Oh, thank you. Melinda stood up.

The man retracted his hand in a curt, allowing Liana to step forward and support Melinda.

"No thanks, I'm also uneven, let me introduce myself, my name is Jackson, and I'm glad to meet two beautiful young ladies. ”

Melinda looked at this Mr. Jackson, this was the first time the two had met, and she said suspiciously, "You are not a human race in the Emerald Continent?"

Although the man in front of him was a Terran, his demeanor and conversation were very different from those Terran slaves of Melinda's family, and he showed the strength of an intermediate mage, which was even more unusual.

The Terran slaves in the High Elf family of the Jade Continent can only learn combat skills and magic if they have the trust of their masters, and they are all used to keeping their heads down and obeying, unlike the man in front of them.

"Oh, yes, I'm from the Azure Continent, and I'm here with my two partners to do business. Jackson looked at Melinda, and he felt like he had been hit in the chest with a sledgehammer.

She's so beautiful. (To be continued.) )
