Chapter 1164 (*) New Dungeon: The Restoration of Erathia(1/2)
Under the leadership of the wise King Griffin, the Erathia continent, justice and evil are like both ends of a balance, maintaining a clever balance. Neither side has gained much advantage. This stalemate has lasted here for many years.
However, with the sudden death of the wise King Griffin, the balance of war between the two sides gradually tilted towards the evil side... Then, the Erasia continent fell into unprecedented chaos, causing the peace, which was originally on the steel cable, to collapse. Therefore, replaced by the evil invasion of Erasia, and the constant wars of all sizes.
After receiving the news of her father's death, Catherine, the queen who married far away, immediately took a boat from the Kingdom of Ironfist to the Eracia continent for funerals. However, what she didn't know was that due to the long ocean, the long journey and the time when the messenger arrived at the Kingdom of Ironfist, it was already a long time after her mourning fleet arrived at the continent of Ironfist.
As soon as she got ashore, the limited number of entourages and escorts of the army were reflected in her and her limited number of entourages and the chaotic land of Elasia that had been destroyed by war... The villagers nearby had almost run away, even in the towns, and the few survivors who remained differently, but all signs have shown that this place had indeed been invaded and destroyed by Negan, so that what she saw was all chaos in disorder without the management of the kingdom?
Because we cannot contact the royal family of Erasia, important officials and nobles, and there are various rumors that the kingdom has collapsed and Erasia has perished? Therefore, in addition to grief and anger, in order to rebuild the kingdom and to expel the evil forces, Queen Catherine made a quick decision and decided to proclaim her return to the people of Erasia, and use the griffin flag as a call to quickly summon the surviving people in the local area to train to form an army, intending to fight for tooth, for eye for eye and vow to seek revenge!
However, revenge is not just a slogan, it requires a large number of manpower, a large number of generals, a large number of logistics and is always ready to go to war!
But now, Queen Catherine doesn't even have many generals who can trust or be capable, because she just came to Erasia to attend the funeral. How could she know that this was the situation here? So, she didn't bring many people, and while sending people to organize the army in an emergency, she had to come to this place not far from their landing site. Although it was a bit broken, she has now returned to the city of Caliard under her griffin, and came to the tavern with mixed personnel, and planned to find one or two reliable helpers.
'Hey!'
‘You are so generous, Your Majesty Queen…’
After receiving a very considerable tip from Queen Catherine, the tavern owner whispered to Catherine:
'His Majesty!'
‘Look over there, right! Didn’t you see the little girl in the corner over there?’
The tavern owner continued to grin and grinned his yellow teeth, leaned into His Majesty's ear and whispered, and secretly enjoyed the charming fragrance emitted by the other party.
However, at most, it was just that. He didn't dare to touch the other party or make more rude actions. Otherwise, the two elite crusaders who followed the other party, the two guys who had been staring at him with the two terrible eyes in their helmets since the beginning, would definitely come up and chop him into half with a sword!
“…”
"Do you know who she is?"
After hesitating for a while and struggling for a long time, Catherine finally spoke, and her tone seemed a little loose?
‘Ha! Who cares about this kind of thing?’
'But, my respected Majesty, I only know that she came here two days ago. Anyway, it seems that it is from our side, so it is definitely not those undead or Negans!'
‘This is news that can’t be better for you or us, isn’t it?’
In the eyes of the tavern owner, as long as the other party is a human, not Negan, Over, elves, forest dwarfs, undeads or other messy guys, as for the rest, there is really no need to worry about so many things in the current land of Erasia, because things will definitely not be worse.
“…”
"Thanks!"
After listening to the other party's statements and news, Queen Catherine thought about it and finally prepared to go over and talk to the other party in person. Because the matter was serious, she obviously did not intend to listen to the other party's one-sided words.
“…”
(′~`●)
However, what a NPC, Queen Catherine, who was full of doubts, didn't know was that she had good luck! Because at this time, a little girl was struggling to leave this shabby place that seemed to be unable to find a suitable money-making task to alleviate her increasingly embarrassing financial situation!
Of course, the embarrassing economy refers to the game "Oasis". Because the 110,000 gold coins she obtained at the same time after cracking the first part of the Easter Egg game and getting the bronze key has been squandered by her. A hateful scapula warrior took her to play a CS game but cunningly didn't give her money. So she had to come to the crisis-ridden continent of Erasia in the exploration area of the "16th District" to try her luck?
"Teebos..."
(????????????)
"That hateful scapula warrior Edge must have deceived us. Where can I make money here? Look, I have been playing here for two days, and I didn't make a penny, but I spent a lot of money instead!"
??°(°?????????????°)°??
(…)
(● ̄(??) ̄●)
"Or, let's go back...hey?"
∑(??△)?!
At this time, she was "talking to herself" to her plush toy bear, thinking about whether to go back, suddenly shut her mouth and curiously looked at a strange aunt who was carrying two fully armed crusaders, wearing gorgeous cloth armor, a long sword inlaid with gems on her waist, and a precious cloak.
“…”
"Hello, little girl! I am Queen Catherine, from the Iron Fist Kingdom opposite the sea, and the Queen's daughter of the Kingdom of Elasia. I just heard that you seem to claim to be a powerful hero and want to find some work that can "get money quickly"?"
While asking, Catherine began to observe the other person carefully.
She first looked at the other person's appearance, and anyone could tell that the little guy in front of her was a cute little girl with blond hair and blue eyes, and she looked only eight or nine years old at most. At the same time, the other person had no decorations or items that other wizards should have, nor did they have magical fluctuations. It felt like it was no different from the little girls she usually saw. This was a very ordinary little girl...
After reaching this conclusion, she became a little regretful, feeling that she shouldn't have wasted time in such a place, nor should she spend money to let the abominable tavern owner say such nonsense!
“!!”
!(;??o??)o
"Of course yes!"
??(?????????)??
I never expected that good things would come to me so quickly!
You know, Annie was just worried about how to make money, but when she turned around, she saw an NPC sending a mission to her door? So, she was excited and jumped up from her position, and raised her head and nodded in front of the sucker NPC who was likely to pay a lot of money to hire her.
"Oh!"
"Then tell me, what do you know?"
Looking at the other person's behavior, Catherine's sense of disappointment became stronger. Because, just from the other person's behavior, she knew that the guy in front of her was indeed an ordinary little girl, and even if she had a little spell, she probably wouldn't be much stronger!
Sure enough, the tavern owner was probably a shallow guy, so how could he know what kind of person he urgently needed now?
"I know everything! Because I am a super powerful arcane wizard!"
o(*??︶??*)o
Because I am in the Oasis game now and I am not cheating, Annie is a little afraid to say that she is the most powerful arcane wizard, and she can only introduce herself in such a little modest way.
"oh?"
"Master?"
"That's a wizard, right? It's just right! I just want to hire a wizard and say, what kind of magic do you do?"
Queen Catherine, who felt that she could not come to visit for a hundred times, thought about it and continued to ask patiently.
She felt that if the other party really knew some powerful magic, such as one or two of the four-type magic, and could barely get on the table, maybe she would recruit the other party and let the other party follow her to act as a magic consultant or a remote striker?
"I can do anything!"
(*?????╰╯`??)??
"Oh……"
"Since you know everything, can you demonstrate it to me?"
Hearing the other party's words, Catherine couldn't help but chuckled. Obviously, she was a little reluctant to believe the other party, so she joked directly like a thriller.
"Hmph! You don't look down on others!"
s(????ˇεˇ????)ゞ
“Demonstrate is demonstration!!”
??(ψ??????ˇ????)????
Seeing the other person's face and listening to the other person's tone, Annie didn't know what the other person was thinking? So, she directly grabbed a huge fireball that was almost as big as a basket, and scared its temperature and firelight that people around the tavern screamed.
‘!!’
‘Queen, be careful!!’
Of course, the two crusad guards next to Queen Catherine rushed up, then pressed the hilt of the sword and guarded their queen tightly, and stared at a little girl who was suspected of using a third-level magical fireball in fire magic without saying a word.
"snort!"
"Go aside! Let's talk, little girl, how much is your employment cost?"
Catherine was stunned for a while, then pushed away her crusade without any mind, walked directly to the little girl without any defense, and asked with interest under the illumination of the magic fireball in the other party's hand.
Although the other party is not the kind of general or hero he is in his ideal, Catherine feels that relying solely on the other party's magic is enough to make her treat each other differently.
“Um…”
(??????????)
"About a thousand gold coins, is this?"
(??????????????)
Annie didn't know what the market was like, so she gave a price tag that she thought was fair and should not scare the other party away.
"One thousand gold coins?"
"That's not expensive, okay! I decided to hire you with a thousand gold coins!!"
Catherine knew that an ordinary wizard or unknown general would hire two thousand five gold coins. Now, the little wizard who looked quite powerful actually only had one thousand gold coins, so she would definitely not let it go!
In her opinion, no matter how bad she is, she can bring the other party with her and provide necessary magic support to herself or the soldiers during the battle. That is a very cost-effective thing.
“Eh?”
(??????????????)???????????????
