"yawn!"
Rubbing my itchy nose, I turned back wordlessly to look in the direction of the Elf Imperial City.
It seems that someone has been remembered by someone again. Could it be Xiao Heitan? Hahahaha, my precious daughter is really inseparable from her at all. I have no choice but to speed up the inspection and go back to coax my daughter.
"Your Highness has a cold? It's better to wear an extra layer." Carolie, who was standing behind me, asked with concern and took out a gorgeous cloak to put on me.
Although spring has arrived, logically speaking, the temperature should not be that low in the depths of tropical primeval forests like the Kurast Forest. However, the wind is a bit noisy today. Standing on the city wall, you can still feel it. Coolness.
"It's okay, it's okay. How can a person like me catch a cold? Thank you for your concern, Caroline." I gave up and said, but I still accepted her kindness and let the navy blue luxurious majestic cloak pass by Carol. Jie tied it on herself carefully.
Ah, I need to clarify the sentence just now. It definitely does not mean "Idiots can't catch colds", but it means that if you are strong, you are not afraid of catching a cold. Make sure you don't get it wrong!
Speaking of which, it seems that Caroline, who is still wearing a maid uniform, is even thinner than me.
"This must be Artoria's." I looked familiar at the cloak and couldn't help but smile.
"Yes, Your Highness." Carolie nodded slightly.
I didn't expect that she was so careful, even carrying replacement items like a cloak with her. She was indeed a personal maid. In comparison, the dirty maid who once asked me to lend her a cloak was like a world between heaven and earth.
Ah, then again. It seems that the stupid maid never returned my cloak. She must have thrown it away casually. Damn it, that was made for me by Vilas herself.
I felt sad secretly, but I had to restrain my expression. Because Amrudina came from the other side.
"Your Highness. Lady Caroline." She bowed lightly, and a female elf following her also saluted.
"Well, thank you for your hard work." I replied. My eyes fell on the elf behind her, and I always felt... it looked familiar. Could it be that I was overthinking it.
"Commander of Badarado Town, Dordolairo pays you the highest respect, Your Highness." Under my gaze. The female elf commander knelt on one knee and saluted solemnly.
"Hmm...Commander Dordolairo, have we met somewhere?" I still looked familiar, so I couldn't help but ask.
"I didn't expect that Your Highness would still remember it. It's my honor." With a slight smile, the female elf stood up at my gesture and explained.
After a short explanation, I immediately remembered that vague memory.
It was when I was collecting crystal fragments, I was with Amrudina and the pornographic maid. The vice-captain of the third elf squadron that I met was none other than Hilmanya, and the other male vice-captain... I'm sorry, I can't remember his name.
At that time, Hilmanya, who was the squadron leader, had intermediate strength. And the Dordolailu in front of him also has the strength of a junior in the pseudo-domain. He is responsible for commanding the town of Badarado, which is in a marginal area, neither big nor small. It's more than enough for a town where the war isn't particularly intense.
Several days passed. This is the... well, the... twentieth border town we have inspected. As for the small matter of twenty or so, we don't need to pay attention to it.
It is thousands of kilometers away from the town of Lalula, where the fighting is fiercest. The influence of the black dragon Elias has been very small, so the fighting here is not too fierce, probably just a little more than usual.
Continuing from here to the edge, there are about thirty more elven towns. On the border, the number of elven towns where battles often occur is close to 300. This does not include some of the surrounding elven villages and settlements, such as those in La. If you add up all the Madeya settlements located near the town of Lula, there may be more than thousands. As you know, elves are free people who like to travel and settle down wherever they like.
It was impossible to inspect and visit those tribal settlements one by one. It would already take a lot of time just to visit the nearly 300 border elven towns.
These border towns have an effect similar to the five major experience areas in our alliance. There are monsters of various levels. It is a relatively complete experience improvement system.
It’s no wonder that in the past, when the Alliance and the elves had not yet formed an alliance and were at war with each other, they did not need to rely on our training areas. Elves were rarely seen in these places. It turned out that they had water at home and did not need other people’s wells.
The purpose of my visit this time is mainly to patrol the towns where the fighting is fierce, and to investigate whether there are any abnormalities. In a small town like Badalado, I only need to stay for a while to meet with the commanders and soldiers here, and talk to each other. It's enough to let them know that the Prince is here to watch... Oh, no, he is here to visit them.
I never expected that I would meet him here.
Under Dordolailu's greeting, they met the elven warriors, and after saying a lot of impassioned words that they had already memorized, the group arrived.
Let me first mention the elven military camp system. After several days of patrolling, I went from having a vague understanding of it at the beginning to memorizing it now. I basically understand the experience mode of elven adventurers.
First of all, after changing jobs, the elf adventurer will become a rookie warrior and be sent to a primary experience town on the border.
After arriving, you will be placed in a suitable team based on your occupation. Of course, this is not a fixed arrangement. If you feel that this team is not suitable for you and want to change, you can apply. Generally, there is no problem.
During non-war periods, the elf team can apply to go out and practice near the town. Once there are signs of monsters attacking the town, they need to come back immediately for defense. In addition, they also need to complete fixed patrols and reconnaissance tasks.
If you feel that this town is not suitable for you and want to change, you can submit an application to the military camp again, which will be a little more cumbersome. However, no matter how complicated it is, adventurers from our alliance must complete the final tasks in this area, such as defeating the projection, completing the tasks in the Western Kingdom, etc. So troublesome and difficult.
Overall. The experience of elves is still much more comfortable and simpler than that of the Adventurer's League. The situation is probably similar, but more disciplinary constraints are added. This has advantages and disadvantages. It can only be said that it depends on the actual situation. After all, the number of elven warriors is much greater than that of the alliance, and the strengthening of discipline makes it easier to manage.
During this time, as the relationship between the alliance and the elves began to warm up. Some elven warriors also tend to move to the five major regions of the alliance, and even join some human adventure teams.
The elves did not stop this. Anyway, all roads lead to Rome. You can become stronger and become a fighting force of the elves. It is up to you how you want to experience it. As for being assimilated by the alliance. That's just a joke. There are far more elven warriors than Alliance adventurers, and they have a deeper historical and cultural heritage than humans. To be more serious, it's not clear who will assimilate who.
Roughly. The experience system of the elves is just like this. I don't intend to go into too much detail about the many details. After all, this system is like this. It is no longer of any use or help to me. I just understand it as a prince.
"Your Highness. I wonder if Captain Hilmanya is still well now?" When he came back to his senses, he met Dordolailu's concerned eyes.
It seems that Hilmanya is a very good captain and has a high prestige among his subordinates. Otherwise, he would not still be concerned and cared about by these people to this day.
"Don't worry, she's living a good life. It's just that she's too talented. With her talent and strength, she can only serve as a small guard beside me."
"It is the captain's honor to be beside His Highness the Prince, to be His Highness's bodyguard and to serve His Highness." Dordolailu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled after hearing this answer.
"As long as the captain can step out of the shadows and live happily, it will be fine."
"Although there is no guarantee that I can get her out of the shadows, I will try my best to create such an environment for her."
"Your Highness, please allow me to express my highest gratitude to you on behalf of the Third Squadron of the Royal Guards."
After leaving the small town of Badalado, the conversation just now was still echoing in my mind.
To be honest, I felt guilty and ashamed for the grateful look that Dordolelu cast me on. Although I did make an arrangement for Hilmanya, as a guard for Vilas and the others, I was warmed by the gentle and cheerful light of the girls. , you should be able to gradually come out of the shadow of losing your lover.
But is this enough? He obviously didn't care enough. When Hilmanya was able to become the captain of the most elite royal guard squadron, she definitely had more than just strength. Being just a guard definitely buried her talents.
Perhaps, we should find time to have an in-depth talk with Hilmanya and pay more attention to her future. Although the safety of Vilas and the others is very important, and I feel at ease with such powerful guards protecting me, I cannot overdo it because of this. Are you burying such an outstanding talent? There should be more digging and digging.
I touched my chin and kept thinking, not knowing that this way of thinking was already very close to a capitalist oppressor whom I often complained about.
It was night, and I once again went deep into the forest to investigate, using my trouble-attracting physique as bait, hoping to seduce something. However, after a night of investigation, I still found nothing unusual. It had been several nights, and I was far away from the fierce battle. area, could it be that I am really too preoccupied?
The next day, just as I was about to head to the next elf town, news came that the imperial commander was going to conquer the city in person. I was shocked at the time.
What's going on? Why did Artoria abandon her numerous affairs and follow her to patrol the border? Could it be that she has given up on herself and wants to avoid trouble?
Of course this is impossible. In this case, could there be some new abnormality on the border that I didn't notice?
With many questions, I soon met Artoria and got the correct answers from her.
They all guessed wrong. Artoria came to the border to patrol the border specifically to hold an elf festival. In order to appease the elf warriors who were fighting on the front line and had no way to go back.
"Who will host the Elf Festival?" Walking side by side with Artoria, he accepted the looks of respect and admiration from the soldiers on both sides, mainly towards Artoria.
Tsk, what a bunch of wallflowers. It was obvious that those eyes were still focused on me yesterday. When Artoria came, she immediately acted as if she didn’t know her. I know I can’t compare with His Majesty the King, but please give me some peripheral vision, you bastards.
I didn't receive it out of the corner of my eye. The envy and hatred of male elves. I have bought a lot of them. Although they are not good things, they have unexpectedly made me feel more balanced.
"It will be hosted by Grandma Arlandan," Arturia replied.
"Hasn't the Elf Festival always been hosted by the Queen?" I somewhat understood, and was even more curious about Artoria.
"Let's talk about Yalandlan's physical condition. It would be too much for her to take care of the entire Elf Festival."
"Fan's worries are very reasonable. Arlandland is really not suitable for hard work. If it weren't for the reliable help coming back, I would never do this." Arturia said confidently. Her confidence comes from the guy called [Reliable Helper], which makes me feel a little bit snacky, and I finally understand the mood of the stingy and jealous maid.
"Who is your reliable helper? I'm very curious." I coughed and asked pretending to be calm, but my ears were perked up. If the other person was a male, I would immediately return to the tent. With tears streaming down his face, he tied two candles to his head and made a scarecrow.
"Mila."
"Mi... Mipa?" I was feeling frightened and imagining a lot, but I accidentally didn't hear Artoria's words clearly.
What's going on? I always feel that as soon as I say these two words, my integrity immediately drops. Who stole my moral integrity? ! !
"I forgot about it. Fan probably hasn't heard of it yet." Perhaps it was because she was too familiar. Only then did Artoria realize that there was an ignorant guy next to her. Never heard of this name.
"Speaking of which, she and Fan have a close relationship."
"Wha...what? Are you related to me?"
I was shocked. Could it be that the other party is also a time traveler, or that he claims to be the Nasha Nasha from my previous life? This kind of setting seems to be very popular recently, such as Shura Field and Breast Shaking Island. Could it be that this druid has caught up with the trend?
This is very scientific. Ben Druid has always been at the forefront of trends, especially this cloak that has been popular in the Dark Continent for ten years and has not declined. It is a classic among classics and has been imitated all the time. Never surpassed, he is known as the fashionable (outdated) cloak man.
"Flower Knight of Ice Mist." Such a word came out of Artoria's mouth, and I immediately fell silent.
"Fan." When she came back to her senses, Arturia was looking at me with concerned and gentle eyes. She stretched out her little hand and gently held my hand with her warm palm.
"Thank you, I'm fine." My heart felt warm, filling a lot of the holes of regret and sadness, and I shook my head.
"I just suddenly felt that...if I saw her, maybe [her] existence would become more distant and untouchable. I'm sorry, Artoria, I said willful words."
After saying these words in a slightly selfish and incomprehensible way, I held His Majesty the King's soft little hand with a slight force, feeling warmth from it and filling my timid and restless heart.
Arturia didn't say anything, she just kept looking at him with gentle eyes.
"What an idiot, that guy." He murmured, staring into the distance, that idiot who made me taste the pain of losing the most important person for the first time.
Shirley, Flower Knight of Ice Mist.
Now that her lover has appeared, does this mean that I have to admit the fact that she has moved away from me?
I don't know, my mood is very complicated. I can only realize very clearly that the person who is weak and afraid of losing may be the one I don't want to see the most.
What kind of person is he? I wouldn't admit it if I wasn't as good as her...at least half as good as the successor to the idiot wife knight that people love to hate.
"I will, I will go to see this inheritor, no, I should say, I want to see her." Turning back, looking directly into Artoria's gentle eyes, I smiled and said firmly.
"The inheritor of the Ice Mist Flower Knight, my closest partner and knight Milas, will definitely not let Fan down." Artoria said in the same firm tone.
"Then let's wait and see what kind of outstanding knight the person you value so highly is."
After receiving Artoria's assurance, I felt relieved, but also felt a little bit empty. After all, my selfish heart still didn't want to see a replacement for the Wife Knight appear.
Milas? Isn't Arturia's name Mira? It's probably a nickname, I always feel that this name sounds familiar.
Arturia's joining made this inspection trip more powerful than ever before. Think about it, the Queen and the Prince came in person at the same time, accompanied by an inheritor and Amrudina as the commander-in-chief. When the soldiers, commanders, and even the residents of various elven towns heard this true appearance, they couldn't help but cheer up and become excited and nervous.
So, starting from the next town, our inspection became as lively and grand as Yingjiang’s presidential election canvassing trip...
