The three of them chatted here for a while and waited silently. It was not until almost evening that the orc guard walked out of the city gate again.

However, he did not come out alone, but led several people wearing gorgeous robes.

Those people did not come out directly, but opened a bay across the city gate toward Ariel.

After seeing that the so-called princess turned out to be a dirty-looking woman wearing coarse clothes and a headscarf on her head, those in gorgeous robes obviously had some doubts in their eyes and turned to the side.

Frange.

Frange said something, seeming to explain the reason.

However, it can be seen that there is not much in his tone that he wants to forcefully persuade. Instead, it feels like he will introduce the matter and then complete the work himself.

After listening to Frange's introduction, one of the men in robes snorted, said a few words, and then turned and left.

Other people wearing noble robes also said a few words one after another and left one after another.

After all these nobles left, Frange turned around and faced the direction of the city, looking very helpless.

But after taking a slight breath, he finally walked out again.

But this time, he was accompanied by a team of more than 20 soldiers.

"Then, Your Royal Highness, the eldest princess."

Frange raised his head, his face expressionless, as if he didn't care about Ariel at all, let alone that this so-called "princess" needed much attention.

"It's getting late now. I should have let you go into the city to take a rest, but unfortunately, there are some inconveniences in the city. Lord Baiji is hosting a banquet for a...'the real eldest princess of the Blue Bay Empire'."

Upon hearing this, Sweet Wine Cheese was slightly startled and opened his mouth with a look of disbelief.

Egg turned his head and looked at Ariel. After a moment of silence, he gently plucked the strings with his fingers.

In response, Ariel reached out and tapped her cheek gently, then faced the person in front of her with a smile again, and said slowly——

"'The real Princess of the Blue Bay Empire'? That's really interesting. Doesn't the other party want to see us? Isn't it convenient for us to go in and meet the other party?"

Frange spread his hands and said impatiently: "With my status, I am not qualified to go to such a noble occasion. Moreover, I don't like such troublesome things. So... if you also call yourself the eldest princess,

If so, how are you going to prove yourself? ...No, forget it, you don’t have to prove yourself anymore.”

The orc guard took out his pocket watch, checked the time, and said: "As someone pretending to be the eldest princess, there is no need for me to waste my time on you. Lord Baiji asked me to deal with you guys as I please. So..."

Having said this, Ariel looked at the soldiers surrounding her and the bright weapons in their hands.

On such a night, those blades shining with moonlight look so dazzling that it hurts the eyes...

There was still a smile on Ariel's face, and she said with a calm attitude: "So, what are you planning to do now? Do you want to see my ridiculous appearance of constantly defending that I am the real princess? What a pity, as a

Dear Blue Bay Royal Family, I have no tradition of performing such a funny look for others."

Frange looked Ariel up and down in front of him, and after a moment of silence, he snorted coldly and said, "You are witnesses, and I am not stupid enough to let you be dealt with directly before the news gets out.

Since Lord Baiji said you can handle it as you please, then I have a good idea."

As he spoke, he raised his hand slightly, and the soldiers holding weapons all around put down their sharp blades. Such a conflict seemed to be suspended.

"Don't you want to go to Crystal Crown City? I can give you a ride."

Now, it was Ariel's turn to be a little unsure of what the orc was thinking. After pondering for a moment, she said: "You want to send us there? I thought you were a person who doesn't like trouble."

"I am indeed a person who doesn't like trouble. My dream is to have a simple job. The money I earn can support my normal daily life, and I can also have a little balance to deal with emergencies.

Then we can get through each day calmly, without any big ups and downs.”

Frange spread his hands. From the face of this orc guard, Ariel really couldn't tell whether he was joking or talking seriously.

"However, if I stay here, my next life will probably be very troublesome. The princess of the Blue Bay Empire is in the city, so I will naturally need to take on important security work. I may even have to shoulder a

And escort the princess to the mission of Crystal Crown City."

"You can't escape such a job. Since we have to go on such a journey, of course it will be easier to escort you, a fake princess. Even if you run away on the road, I won't have any mental pressure. I am a very annoying person.

Stressful people.”

Ariel tilted her head and smiled: "It sounds like you are a very easy person to get along with?"

The orc guard snorted again: "Whatever you think. In order to avoid any accidents, we'd better leave now."

After saying that, he waved his hand and walked directly to another road outside the city.

With the soldiers surrounding them, Ariel and the other three had no choice but to follow and move along this path. After walking for almost half the night, a building similar to an inn finally appeared in front of them, and everyone took a short rest.

After a few days, I waited until daybreak before setting off again.

In the next almost half a month, Frange continued to lead Ariel and the three people forward in this way.

He didn't rush, and he didn't even ask Ariel or the other three any questions.

As the orc guard himself said, he led the three of them towards the capital Crystal Crown City in a completely casual manner. Even the soldiers seemed very relaxed now. For Ariel and the other three,

It was said that they were under surveillance. Sometimes Ariel got up a little late, and these people might even leave her alone and leave.

To be honest, this... is a bit too easy.

Such a relaxing itinerary made Ariel seem a little at a loss. However, it would not be bad if such an itinerary could continue all the way to Crystal Crown City.

On this day, it started to rain. Everyone hid in a cave, watching the rain falling outside, silently waiting for the rain to pass.

"According to the current journey, we should be able to reach Crystal Crown City in about ten days."

Sweet Wine Cheese estimated the distance and asked.

Ariel rubbed her hands, glanced at Frange who was squatting at the entrance of the cave, nodded slightly, and then said: "How does your body feel?"

Sweet Cheese nodded slightly and said: "There will still be some pain when the disease occurs...but with the help of Mr. Egg's piano to help suppress it, it is finally not so unbearable."

Egg on the side was carefully wiping the rainwater on the strings with a cloth, and said: "Although my fighting ability is not good, I am still somewhat confident in mobilizing emotions. As long as you continue, I believe you will be able to do it soon.

Get rid of drug addiction. However, I’m afraid you need more time to deal with your disease.”

Sweet Cheese's eyes dimmed slightly, and he said softly: "Even the elves... think that there is no cure for my disease..."

Egg thought for a while and said with a smile: "Actually, you can not think of things as complicated as you think. Don't think of this as a disease. If you think of it as a gift, will it be easier and easier to accept?

Some?"

Ariel was stunned for a moment: "Gift? What do you mean?"

Egg smiled and said: "Although this kind of disease is rare in modern times, I remember that a long time ago... probably thousands of years ago, this kind of disease appeared quite frequently."

Sweet Cheese: "Really? The royal doctor... Her Royal Highness the Princess has helped me find many doctors, but to no avail. Has this disease really occurred before?"

Egg smiled slightly and pulled the strip of cloth on the strings, which wiped away all the water droplets: "Living for a long time has no other benefits. The only benefit that can be said is that I am more knowledgeable. In that

Once upon a time, residents of a town suddenly contracted a disease in which patchy spots began to appear on their bodies, and some tentacles appeared from their black skin. Yes, the symptoms are exactly the same as yours."

"At that time, because the chaos of Warcraft had just subsided, many people were still vigilant and did not dare to be careless. So many people came to this town, hoping to understand the cause of this strange disease."

"After some investigation, I found that it was not a disease, but a 'gift'."

Sweet Wine Cheese swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "A gift...? How do you say it?"

Egg smiled and said: "The specific explanation... is a bit complicated. Let me try to explain it to you. It means that you are chosen by the true god of this world and have the opportunity to become his people. And this so-called 'disease' is you

Selected sign."

Sweet Cheese's eyes widened, looking a little confused.

Ariel also said: "Chosen by the true god? What kind of god is this? A local religious worship?"

Ego laughed and said: "In today's world, you may think that the only god is the God of Light, right? After all, the state religion of the Blue Bay Empire is the Holy See of Light. Well... the Hunter Empire, I was in a hundred years ago

I’ve been here before, but I don’t know anymore. Hey, that orc in front of you, do you Hunters still believe in the goddess of light?”

The soldiers around him didn't speak. They just glanced at Yi Ge and continued chatting and resting on their own.

Frange in front turned around and glanced at Frange, then continued to look at the rain outside the cave.

Seeing no one responded, Egg shrugged and continued: "Nowadays, there are many countries on the Golden Continent, and the beliefs of each country may be more or less different, but in general, they cannot transcend the category of elemental gods.

.After all, magicians have magic power. If they believe in elemental gods, then the people will naturally believe in them too."

"However, a long time ago, more than a thousand years ago, people did not generally believe in elemental gods such as the God of Light. There were some cities or countries that believed in the ancient true gods."

"This ancient true god is older and has a longer history than the so-called elemental gods. Moreover, the ancient true god does not gather believers with an illusory existence. He really exists and can use his own power to convey his true message to ordinary people.

Gospel."

"This gift is the sign of the ancient true God, which means that the true God has heard your wishes and agreed to fulfill your prayers."

"The marks on your body, if I remember correctly, you should have become like this after doing certain things."

Ariel turned her head and saw that Sweet Cheese's face looked a little uncertain, as if she had recalled something bad in her mind.

Seeing the look on the face of Sweet Wine Cheese, Ariel immediately said: "Stop talking about gifts or not. This thing will bring people pain. It can't be considered a good thing after all, right?"

In response, Yi Ge shook his head and said slowly: "At first, the residents of that city thought this was a terrible disease and an inescapable curse."

"However, as time went by, when the markings on their bodies were all over their bodies, they found that they had gained an unprecedented sense of comfort."

"The gift makes their bodies strong and indestructible. Similarly, even people who had no magic affinity at all before will begin to have more or less magic affinity after being fully blessed by the gift."

"After feeling the benefits that the gift brought to them, some of them began to no longer resist the gift. Instead, some people who had not been gifted began to pray that they could receive this gift. However, the true God is not just for anyone.
To be continued...
