The Horn of the Sage
"Hahahaha, thank you for worrying about me, Nicole. ”
I've unfolded my magic shield, and by the time I'm ready to fight, Natalia has already rushed out, and the sword in her hand has been drawn!
This is probably one of the magic swords she said......
With a cold face, Ludmila bent her bow and shot her first sword, heading straight for Natalia, but Natalia moved sideways, dodging the arrows, and rushed forward at the slightest speed!
The arrow sliced through the air and flew past my left side at an alarming speed, and I couldn't react!
Ludmila was visibly more surprised, her eyes widened and she was about to shoot a second arrow, but Natalia was close to swinging her sword, and Ludmila had to jump back to dodge and shoot from the air.
Of course, Natalia dodged again, then jumped up as well, using a leaping slash attack.
The two sides went back and forth, and the arrows flew everywhere, and I learned the lesson of the first time and tried to avoid the flying arrows.
Obviously, there is no place for me in this battle for a long time.
Ludmila would immediately pull away when she was close to her, but no matter how far or near she was, her arrows never hit her opponents, and her impression of "Marksman" was shattered. Natalia, on the other hand, pursued while smiling evilly, and from time to time attacked with sword energy, although she did not hit her opponent either, her relaxed smile contrasted strongly with Ludmila's panicked expression.
In other words, Natalia already has an absolute advantage, and Ludmila can't do anything about her.
Just when Ludmila was about to lose her support, a black figure attacked Natalia!
When I shouted "be careful", Natalia had already noticed the figure, and she stopped pursuing Ludmila, smiling and dodging the slash of the man in black. However, the man in black attacked three times in a row, and Natalia had no time to fight back and could only dodge.
Although she still had a smile on her face, she could see that the third slash at the end had chopped off a strand of Natalia's long hair!
"You...... How dare you!"
Because her hair was cut, Natalia shouted angrily, her smile disappeared, and her eyes completely changed!
She picked the sword from the man in black's hand, and then slashed it down with a single blow!
Suddenly, one hand grabbed the knife, and when I looked at it, it was the uncle!
"Wait, you don't want to kill your companion by mistake!"
Natalia was stunned and looked at the man in black, and I looked over as well.
The man in black was wearing a tight black dress and short silver hair, although she was almost hacked to death with a knife just now, she still had a calm smile on her face.
Could it be that she is Natalia's......
"Sister?" Natalia was shocked to find that she had almost killed her most beloved sister by mistake!
"Ha, that's a long story, Natalia, you're still so agile and still so light. The voice of the "sister" is extremely crisp, but it reveals a hint of maturity.
"Why did you cut your hair short?"
"Hehe, it's a long story, you put the knife away first, let's go in and talk about it. "Sister" glanced at me, "with your friends, and with the friends on the ship." ”
At this time, Danio was already standing on the deck of Magadha, and as soon as he heard her words, he immediately jumped over.
"Is that what you're going to do here?" I asked Danio, a little worried about fuel consumption.
"Hopefully it will end soon. Danio also felt that it might run out of gas.
"It's okay, we'll give you a little more fuel, you must be tired after such a long voyage, come in and sit down, I'm the captain of the Sage's Voice, Root. The uncle invited us and introduced himself.
It turned out that the ship was called the Sage's Horn.
————————————
We sat in the dining room inside the Sage's Horn, and we saw a lot of people who were rebelling against the Empire, including ordinary people, ghost swordsmen, and magic gunslingers who wielded magic guns, who were said to have escaped from the Imperial Arena.
And Natalia's sister is called "Charlotte", and she has now joined Captain Rutt's side.
"What? are we going to lie dormant for a while?" Natalia snapped up excitedly, "instead of going into the Empire right away and ...... those bunches"
"Calm down, Natalia. Charlotte's calm voice sounded so unhurried.
"Listen, uncle!" Natalia did not respond to Charlotte, but shouted to Captain Root, "I know that you are a member of the dragon clan, a few years or ten years is nothing to you, but for us humans, it is enough to change everything!"
"Your bold plans will kill your companions and your sister. Rout didn't care about Natalia's accusations, "Not long ago, your sisters were almost captured by the Imperials, and if I hadn't saved them, you'd have to rob the prison alone now."
"......" Natalia was speechless.
"Moreover, we don't know enough about the empire at all, and we just hold a hatred for the empire and bring us together. Rout continued, "Save those oppressed by the Empire, strengthen the ranks of the resistance, know the movements of the Imperial army, know yourself and know your enemy." That's what we're supposed to do now. Rather than unplanned destruction of the Empire's facilities, which would only lead to the rebels' rapid demise. ”
Natalia compromised, and she asked, "So, what's the plan?"
"Let me explain. Charlotte stood up and shouted in a loud voice, "I'm going to be an adventurer, sneak up on the Empire and understand their weaknesses!"
......
Nonsense, how can an adventurer get close to the Empire?
"I'll go too!" Natalia immediately raised her hand, but Charlotte shook her head and refused.
"You've shaved your hair short, and people will recognize you. ”
It turns out that Charlotte shaved her hair short for this?
"So, sister, are you sure you want to do this?"
"The captain is our benefactor, and without them, we would have been caught long ago. It was because of this that I began to wonder if the way we had done it was wrong. Charlotte's tone suddenly became serious, and she recounted her experience with the ship, "I later learned that the captain has been plotting against the Empire for many years, but he has too few people, and hopes that I can lead the rebels to join them, and change from 'radical' to 'conservative'. ”
"So now, you're no longer the leader of the Resistance?"
Natalia's face was full of anger, and Charlotte was stunned when she heard this.
Perhaps, Charlotte joined Captain Root's command, much to Natalia's disappointment.
"How so......" Rout said suddenly, "she's still your leader, and that hasn't changed." We're just a partnership, I'm offering this ship as your stronghold, and you're acting with a conservative strategic approach, after all, we're on the same side, and I don't want you to be wiped out by the Empire because you're too aggressive!"
Natalia was relieved to hear this, so she asked Charlotte, "So my sister is going to be an adventurer, what about me?"
"Stay on the ship and stand by, you have to listen to the captain during this period, you can't be willful!" Charlotte's expression also softened, and she continued to say in a bright tone, "Then next, I will return to the Duchy with them, and I will become an adventurer, continue to stay in the Duchy and operate, and monitor the movements of the Imperial Army by the way." ”
Natalia nodded, but still worried, asked, "What if they recognize me?"
"I've shaved my hair short, and I don't even recognize you, and those Imperial soldiers haven't seen me a few times, how can they know. ”
"Alright then......"
They chatted and talked again, and then Charlotte and we returned to Magadha, where we continued to sail by Denio.
Danio remembers the way back exactly – he was so reliable.
On the way, we deliberately avoided the Heavenly Veil Behemoth, and then came to the harbor, during which Charlotte did not say a word, probably not familiar with us.
If you think about it, if she wants to blend in with the adventurers, she must be on an adventure with us, so there will be five people in the team.
In this regard, Danio said: "It doesn't matter how many people there are in the team, the more people there are, the better it can be. Last time Sky City was suddenly closed, we formed a temporary team with Lilu, and there were seven people in the team!"
Therefore, the adventurer's guild here does not have so many boring rules, such as "no more than four people in the squad", which can put adventurers in danger.
As soon as we arrived at the port, a large group of duchy soldiers laid an ambush, and as soon as we came ashore they rushed out and surrounded us, shouting "don't move".
"Send them to the Queen!"
The matter is exposed, I'm afraid that as soon as Charlotte's identity is exposed, let alone the plan, it will be handed over directly to the Imperial Army.
Of course, although Danio and I were forced to be helpless, we were accomplices after all, and it was estimated that it would not end well to greet us.
Hopefully Alice will save me then, after all, I'm "Herder's puppet".
No, that should be more of a hassle......
We were escorted by the soldiers to Huttonmar Town Hall. The town hall is located in the center of Huttonmar, near the bulletin board, and I have passed by many times, but I only think that this building is high-end and high-end, and I never thought that this is the residence of the Queen.
When the three of us entered the town hall, Danio and I were trembling, but Charlotte next to her was smiling, as if she wasn't worried at all, or maybe it was her laughing personality that made her so calm.
In the brightly lit hall with an unknown number of lights, we met Queen Skady.
She had curly blond hair and looked like a graceful woman, but now she was greeted in a black robe, which was probably pajamas.
Strangely, instead of being sent straight to prison, we were summoned by the Queen in the middle of the night......
This in itself should not be the treatment that "sinners" deserve!
Moreover, beside the queen, there was a tall woman in light armor, she was holding a giant sword, standing aside, with long purple hair, and dark skin......
She is clearly another person on the wanted list!
