Chapter 286 Noble Guest Etiquette
Author: Bamboo Basket Frame Water
Ed and others, who were resting at this time, had no idea that the Wild Hunt Cavalry was approaching, and instead began to study the ice elemental bodies scattered on the ground.
With the help of the ice sword, these ice elements were chopped off their horses one after another with the cooperation of Xili and Jon, and turned into unresponsive rocks and ice.
Looking at the wreckage scattered on the ground, Robb, who had regained consciousness, couldn't help but squat on the ground with his feet turned, picked up an ice cube and sighed:
"It's really amazing. How are these monsters driven by what principle? Is it magic?"
"Hmph~ Then you should ask your sister Xili. After all, these monsters should be in the same group as the people who are chasing her. How could she, as the culprit, not know?"
There was a sneer on Theon's face, and his eyes when he looked at Ciri were full of amusement, not paying any attention to the angry eyes of Robb and Jon.
Although he also likes each other, unlike Robb and Jon who like Ciri, Theon is just a greedy person.
He is mean!
Because of this, he would mock Ciri without any thought, trying to achieve the twisted pleasure of improving his own status by belittling the other party.
However, at this time, Theon didn't know that in the future of the original history, he would personally become a nasty reek under the influence of others' PUA.
"Yeah, I really should leave early..."
Hearing Xion calling herself the 'culprit', Ciri's eyes dimmed slightly, but she still managed to pull herself together and explain to everyone:
"They should be the magical creations of Caranthir, the frost mage under the Wild Hunt. Their bodies are indestructible, and only magic-blocking gold bombs and elemental oils can cause damage to them."
After listening to Ciri's words, Duke Ed, with the help of Roderick, put the ice back into the scabbard, and then couldn't help but ask:
"It's Wild Hunt again. I've heard you mention those guys several times. Is the ancient blood flowing in your body that important to them?"
After these few weeks of getting along, Ed has a rough understanding of most of Ciri's unfamiliar words.
However, although he could understand that Ciri traveled across the world and came to Westeros, he did not understand the hunting of the Wild Hunt and the ancient blood in Ciri's body.
After hearing Ed's inquiry, everyone turned their attention to Shirley with gossip, obviously also wanting to know more interesting stories about the other world.
Seeing the curiosity in everyone's eyes, Xili, who was already under the influence of others, could only helplessly introduce:
"Well, since you all want to know about the Wild Hunt so much..."
In order to eliminate the doubts in everyone's eyes, Ciri could only choose to reveal detailed information about the Wild Hunt and the Ancient Blood to Ed and other people she trusted.
To put it simply, the 'Wild Hunt' are a group of elven predators who can travel through various different times and spaces; the ancient blood is a bloodline created by the elves, which has the power to travel through time and space.
Because as the only female elf who inherited the ancient blood at that time, Laura Doron fell in love with a human and even eloped without permission to leave the control of the elves!
The 'hope of the whole village' actually eloped with humans. Is there anything that could make the elves collapse more than this?
Since then, the elves have been looking for the scattered ancient blood, and those elves trying to find Ciri are the Wild Hunt!
After listening to Xili's tearful introduction, Xion couldn't help but reached out and touched his chin and murmured:
"It sounds like...as long as I hand you over to those elves, all the disputes will be over?"
Hearing this, not to mention Robb and Jon next to him, even Little Jon, who had nothing to do with this matter, looked at Theon with some surprise and disdain.
Ed couldn't help but shook his head, looked at the indifferent Theon with some disappointment, and then asked:
"Theon, do you want the Stark family to sacrifice an innocent human woman to exchange for a short period of peace with those cruel elves who are harming countless worlds?"
Although he didn't know whether the story Xili told was true or false, what the other party said just now did make him feel empathetic.
For the sake of love, one goes against the worldly vision...
Lyanna, it seems that the choice you made back then was as noble and pure as the elf princess named Laura Doran, as noble and pure as a winter snow rose!
Thinking of this, Ed couldn't help but take a closer look at Shirley's face. It was a gentle yet strong face.
Under the sunlight, Ed's eyes were slightly dazed. He seemed to see again the girl who often traveled across the northern border with equestrian skills, with a confident smile on her face.
"Lyanna..."
Hearing Duke Eddard's murmur, Sir Roderick standing aside immediately realized that his lord seemed to be moved by the scene.
So after thinking for a moment, Rodrick couldn't help but cough a few times, and then said to everyone:
"I don't think we have anything to talk about with those elves. After all, they turned the entire Nori Village into ruins, which is enough to show their hostility.
What's more, Ciri just said that those elves are all evil people who are good at plundering. Who can guarantee that they will not return to Westeros and become new invaders in the future?"
"Well, Roderick is right. Instead of sacrificing a girl to leave the disaster of war to future generations, it is better to gather our strength to fight against those invaders!"
After listening to Roderick's speech, Ed's eyes showed a hint of fighting spirit, and then he apologized to Little Jon beside him:
"I'm really sorry that such an accident happened today. The Amber family sacrificed many people to fight against those ice elements. The Stark family will compensate you for your losses."
"Hahaha, it is my honor to be able to fight alongside the Duke and to experience such wonderful magic and stories!"
Little Jon laughed and touched the back of his head, then came to Ciri, patted her shoulder and comforted her:
"Don't worry, we northerners will not survive by betraying our comrades, and you have already eaten the bread and salt of our northerners. How can we let you die?"
"you……"
Seeing the honesty on Little Jon's seemingly ferocious face and the smiles on the faces of the surrounding Stark family guards, Ciri couldn't help but wipe the corners of her eyes with excitement.
Looking at Ciri, whose eyes were a little red, Robb also had a silly smile on his face. Just when he was about to find the opportunity to say some cool words to win his favor, a cold wind suddenly blew in the woods.
"Jiejiejie~ Ancient blood, you really made it easy for us to find you!"
A cold and biting laughter suddenly came from the woods, which immediately made Xili's delicate body tremble, and then she looked towards the woods in horror:
It's Caranthir!
