On the second day after Alvin and others returned from the ancient ruins of Holy Land Mine Dier, Anne finished watching the excitement and felt that there was nothing fun, she resolutely said goodbye to the group of middle-aged uncles and sisters who had been thinking about saving the world all day long and left the city of Kalsas, which she had already visited.
At that time, the idiot Hayn, Miss Alina and others naturally pleaded and invited her to stay and join their glorious squad dedicated to peace and defeating evil.
only……
Anne thought for a long time (about three seconds) but in the end she did not agree to them, and she didn't want to go with them to find the so-called holy sword "Langulisa". She directly said on the spot that she was not very interested. After all, she was a super powerful arcane wizard. As for holy swords, it sounded quite rare, but no matter what, it was just a little rare. It was definitely not enough to let her join the boring middle school second savior team.
Besides, it’s so convenient for her to go and see the Holy Sword and other things, so she doesn’t want to bring those cumbersome and troublesome guys.
For example, today, she followed a caravan along the way to this village, and her final destination is undoubtedly the ancient ruins, that is, the former site of the Kingdom of Valdia, the reincarnated great magician Jessica told Alvin and the others that the city of Valdia was sealed with the Holy Gladiator Gulisa!
?
At this moment, the night outside was getting dark...
"Hahaha!"
"Come on, let's have a good drink!"
"Matthew!"
"Take that barrel of wine over!"
"stop!"
"I said, Gniel, can you both stop drinking?"
"Why?"
"Aimeda, haven't we sent our employer's caravan here safely?"
"Since the mission is completed, what's wrong with drinking a little?"
"you!"
"The world is not peaceful now. If you get drunk, what should you do when something happens?"
"Well..."
"cough!"
"What can be done?"
"Okay, Matthew, don't worry about her, she just likes to think about it. Let's continue to drink ours!"
"Done!"
In the village, in this tavern, Matthew, Gneil and Aimeda, who completed the mission of escorting the caravan and made a lot of money, were arguing in a corner of the lobby.
“…”
(??~??) Chew~!
“…”
(??~??)
Anne, who was eating her own dinner, also noticed the noise of the three people. Then, she thought about it and saw that the food on her plate had been eaten almost the same. After hearing that they seemed to talk about something that she was interested in, she jumped directly towards the three people.
"Hello!"
?(?ˉ??ˉ?)
"What are you just talking about?"
?(ψ｀▽′)o
Anne asked without seeing her at all.
In fact, she doesn't need to see her!
Because, the reason why she joined the caravan and followed them to this village was because she saw these guys being attacked by a group of little demons and spider demon elves while on the way. When she saw them gradually getting lost, she suddenly helped and saved the lives of them and everyone in the caravan.
"ha!"
"Master Anne?"
"Come on, let's have a drink..."
Bang!!
Seeing Anne come over, drunk Gniel quickly raised the wine glass in his hand, and then wanted to hand them a glass to the young girl who looked young but very capable.
Then, for granted, Aimeda, who was beside him, used the rosewood wine glass to the back of his head.
"Ouch!"
"Aimeda, what are you doing when you hit me?"
Then, Gniel, who almost fell to the floor, was of course very resentful and protested loudly while rubbing the back of his head.
"It's okay if you two guys drink it!"
"Annie is a mage and a kid, how can you let her drink?"
"Don't you know that if a mage gets drunk, something terrible will happen?"
"At that time, if you burn you to death, I will not treat you!"
"snort!"
As he said that, after the complaints, Aimeda simply reached out and snatched away the cups in front of Matthew and Gneal. Obviously, he did not intend to let the two drunk guys touch the sour and smelly drinks again.
“…”
(lll￢▽￢)
Annie didn't speak, though, she wanted to say: Even if the other party didn't stop her, she would definitely not drink those boring and choking alcoholic beverages.
"Hey!"
(???)
"Uncle Nigel, let's continue to tell the story you just told!?"
?~(′?`*)
After the little sister Aimeda moved all the drinks aside, Annie couldn't wait to ask.
“…”
"Where did we talk about just now?"
"oh!"
"By the way, when the ancient Kingdom of Valdia fell, Prince Reading led his companions to the road to restoration."
After looking at Matthew next to him with drunken eyes, Nigel soon thought of what they had just said halfway.
"But, little guy..."
"I'm not an uncle, I'm only eighteen years old this year..."
"And..."
"Well!"
"That's not a story, that's what happened..."
Already drunk, I completely forgot that the little girl in front of me was a terrible great wizard. Nigel scolded Anne without any hesitation before shakingly talking about the past of the ancient Kingdom of Baldia and Prince Reading.
According to legend...
Hundreds of years ago, the ancient Kingdom of Valdia was defeated by Digos, the emperor of the Gudalses Empire, and was on the verge of destruction. In that time of crisis, Prince Reading, the hero with the last generation who inherited the power of glory, led his companions and the holy sword "Langulisa" on the road to restoration.
Afterwards, as the legendary epic prelude was pulled open, after a very arduous and cruel battle, Prince Reading counterattacked and smashed the conspiracy between Emperor Digos and the King of Chaos, leaving behind various romanced deeds of heroic leaders.
Unfortunately, under the erosion of time, the ancient Baldia Kingdom that once unified the continent finally disappeared...
However, it is said that when the kingdom was destroyed, the last descendants of the royal family, that is, the glorious descendants, hid the Holy Gladiac Gulisa, and made it completely disappear on this vast land?
By now, the holy sword has not appeared for hundreds of years. The previously unknown magic sword, the legend of Aruhasatto, has begun to spread in the hearts of people full of desires. Some people swear to say that they have seen the emperor of the empire, Barnhard, attack a city in a neighboring country with a magic sword?
"That's probably what happened..."
"Well!"
"You have also seen it, and I don't know why. Recently, there are more and more monsters. The power of darkness must have awakened. The new empire is fighting everywhere. I don't know who can hold the holy sword in his hand to pacify this troubled world?"
"But that's good, we mercenaries are living better and better."
"hey-hey……"
After saying that, the short-haired Gniel smiled drunk and fell directly on the table and slapped around.
"It's getting better and better?"
"Genier, are you crazy?"
"When I came, if we hadn't met Annie, the three of us and the caravan would have been wiped out. Do you call this a better life?"
"You forgot who was carried into the air by those monsters and almost came back to death?"
"you!!"
At this time, the young lady Aimeda came over, and after hearing Nigel's words, she directly inserted her waist angrily and scolded her loudly in anger.
"Okay, Aimeda, please calm down."
"Besides, what Niger just said is actually correct. Didn't you notice it? There are indeed more and more monsters recently, which is very abnormal!"
"I don't know, will there be some glorious last generations coming out and saving the world this time?"
"well……"
After comforting his companion Aimeda, the uncle Matthew also followed Nigel's appearance and lay directly on the table and sighed heavily.
"I know that there are more and more monsters, how long are you drinking when you go out?"
"Look at you!"
"Can you still take up a weapon?"
Seeing the two guys who were drunk after completing a small task, Aimeda was so angry that she was furious.
“…”
(*ˉ?ˉ*;)
Annie did not care about the dispute between the three people in front of her, but instead thought about the matter of the ancient Baldia kingdom that the short-haired uncle Niger just mentioned.
Of course, she didn't care about the ancient prince or the last generation of the glorious power. What she cares more about now is obviously the specific location of that ancient city of Gubaldia, and was eager to know where it was!
“That is,…”
(??w??)
"Uncle Gniel!"
???w??)?
“And Uncle Matthew!
(*^▽^*)
"Do you know the specific location of the ancient city of Baldia?"
?()?
There are many monsters in this world that do not matter Anne. Anne doesn't want to care whether there are any glorious descendants coming out to save the world. Anyway, as far as she knows, that Alvin and the great magician Jessica, who don't know what their specific identity, have begun to take action and are planning to find the Holy Sword. Maybe it's behind her at this moment, so she must move faster!
(…)
(●￣(?)￣●)
"Ancient city of Baldia?"
"Of course I know!"
"But, little guy, what are you asking about this?"
The drunk Gniel didn't think much about it. He sat up straight and patted his chest with pride, then lay back on the wooden table and asked strangely.
"do what?"
(???.????)
"What else can I do? Of course I want to go there to find the legendary Holy Gladiator Gulisa!"
o((*^▽^*))o
Annie did not hide anything at all, and directly said her purpose loudly.
"Holy Sword?"
"Langulisa?"
Gniel was stunned and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
"Uh-huh!"
(*ˉ︶ˉ*)
"That's right, they are just going to go to the city of Valdia to find that holy sword!"
∠(?▽?)/
Anne nodded and repeated her purpose again.
“…”
“…”
Gneil didn't say anything, but subconsciously glanced at his good friend Matthew.
Then...
"Hahaha!"
"Little guy, I advise you not to go, there is nothing there, just a ruin of the fortress of the King of Cubaldia!"
"That's right!"
"There is no holy sword inside!"
"Many people have been there, and we have been there too. The inside is empty and valuable things were taken away hundreds of years ago. Now there is only a broken copper and iron embedded in the stone mount!"
Of course, Gneil and Matthew just laughed out loud without restraint, and did not take Anne's words to heart.
“!!”
!(;?o?)o
"A broken copper and iron? That's great, maybe that's the Holy Sword!"
???(?)
Anne cheered directly excitedly and was excited for finding more clues.
"ah?"
"That's the Holy Sword?"
"No way..."
"You must be talking nonsense!"
"I don't believe it!"
"I don't believe it either..."
Unfortunately, Gneil and Matthew, who were already drunk at this time, were not willing to believe the words of a little girl, even if the other party was a powerful wizard!
After all, they did go to the ruins of the fortress of the King of Gubaldia in the past, and it was indeed empty inside. They had been visited by countless people many times. Except for the rusty iron piece that imitated the holy sword, which was embedded in the stone mount, which was already rusty and bonded to the stone mount and could not even bend down, there was really nothing left.
"That's it!"
ヾ(￣0￣)
"How about you hire you, and then you will take you to the ruins of that ancient castle tomorrow?"
?()
Annie doesn't need the fools to believe it. Anyway, no matter whether it is true or false, she just needs to take a look at it.
And the faster the better. Although she set out for several days before Alvin and the others, maybe those guys would take shortcuts, so her movements had to be faster.
“Hot?”
"But……"
"Do you have money?"
"You come here, but you all come here with a free ride!"
"that is!"
"Hahaha!"
After saying that, Matthew and Nigel laughed again.
They had seen it long ago, the little girl was carrying a hideous plush teddy bear on her body, and then she had no bags or packages anymore.
"snort!"
(??へ??╬)
"They have money!"
(?╭╮?)
As she said that, Annie scratched her and then pulled out a bunch of gold coins from her pocket, and then piled it onto the table in front of two guys who dared to laugh at her.
The next second, in this slightly dim rural tavern, a golden light almost blinded the eyes of two drunkards and a young lady.
“…”
“…”
“…”
Sure enough, just in the face of the powerful fact, whether it was the two strange uncles Matthew and Gneil who were laughing at just now, or the Miss Aimeda who was covering her mouth, they were shocked by the pile of gold coins for a long time and couldn't say a word.
‘!!’
‘Ahhhh!!!’
However!
Before the three mercenaries came to their senses and considered whether to agree to the employment request of a bad little girl mage, they went to the ruins of that ancient city of Gubaldia and searched for the holy sword that did not exist at all, suddenly, bursts of shrill screams came from outside the village.
"Not good!"
"Matthew! Nigel!"
"There are monsters outside, and they are blocked at the entrance of the village!"
"We are surrounded now!"
Immediately afterwards, a caravan groom broke in. The other party shouted at Matthew and the other three, who were shocked by a large amount of gold coins, with an ugly face.
In the face of strong fear, he didn't even care about the pile of gold coins on the three people's table, nor did he feel like asking what was going on.
“!!”
"What?"
"Monster?"
"No way?"
"Really come?!"
After hearing this, Matthew and Gneil of course jumped up in surprise, and then they grabbed their weapons and wanted to run out to see the situation.
However...
They were already drunk, and before they could run to the door of the tavern, they staggered and staggered together, and then the spears rolled to the distance and couldn't get up for a long time.
"I just know!"
"Look!"
"Let you not drink, you insist on drinking, what should you do now?!"
Seeing this, it was natural that the companion of the two, Aimeda, angrily shouted, then went forward and wanted to help the two of them up.
“…”
(lll￢▽￢)
"Forget it! Let's go and help, Miss Aimeda, you just need to remember to take them to the castle ruins tomorrow!"
ε=(′ο｀*))) Alas
After saying that, Annie stopped looking at the three people who were entangled, no longer took back the pile of gold coins used as employment fees, and directly patted her butt, then took her little bear and jumped out of the door.
