11. Fairy tales are all lies
Sean felt that he was suffering a mental injury called "visual impact", and this injury was not immune and was forced.
Seeing Sean's obviously disappointed appearance, Cecilia couldn't help but chuckled: "Do you think the princesses are all young and beautiful beauties?"
"It's not counting." Sean thought for a while, then answered, "I just always feel... the words of the elves..."
"In this world, there are so many young and beautiful princesses, which are not fairy tales." Cecilia smiled slightly, "Even a princess, she may not be really beautiful or talented. Of course, if you are neither beautiful nor talented, then this is a tragedy for the princess born in the royal family, because at least the former can also become a bargaining chip for political marriage, while the latter can enhance the comprehensive strength and influence of the royal family."
Listening to Cecilia's words, Sean fell into silence.
Although the princess of the Xuefeng Tribe had a unique exquisite face of the elves, her body shape did exceed the standards of the elves too much. Of course, Sean had no thoughts or opinions about this princess. He just felt that after seeing this princess, some of the beautiful imaginations of fairy tales in his heart were indeed shattered by the cruelty of reality.
After listening to Cecilia's words, Sean also knew that fairy tales were just fairy tales after all. Although those stories cannot be completely denied, those stories have been beautified to a certain extent. Moreover, whether it is a princess or prince, they are just ordinary people in their own race. As long as they are ordinary people, they will always be ordinary or even incompetent. However, after being covered with a layer of princess or princess, they will be beautified by outsiders through imagination. Once they cannot see such imaginary princes or princess, they will feel frustrated, deceived, or even angry, and many other negative emotional factors.
Perhaps for these princesses, the nobility in their origin has become their spiritual pressure.
"So due to political reasons, few princesses can have so-called freedom. At most, they can be a little willful in some things. This is already good. Even if my father doting on me at the beginning, the freedom I can have is still very limited..."
Sean's pupils suddenly shrank.
It is no longer a secret that Cecilia is the princess of the Principality of Lenbel in Sean's core circle, but everyone just doesn't know it. Although Sean speculated that Cecilia herself might have discovered something more or less, some things are indeed like fig leafs. If no one reveals them, then many things will choose to be silent. No one will touch on this topic or be sensitive.
But now Cecilia said this in person, the meaning is completely different. At least Sean knows that Cecilia is now truly untiing her knot.
"... When I went to the Maggie Empire Magic Academy to study, my father arranged it for me, and I didn't have any ability to refuse." Cecilia's voice continued. However, knowing that her mentality was completely different, Sean still liked to hear Cecilia talk about her past. "The situation in the Principality was a little complicated. My father sent me away to ensure my safety, and on the other hand, as I said before, in order to improve the overall strength of the royal family... But now I think about it, I should be more lucky. At least I can still study at the Maggie Empire Magic Academy, and my other sister, who is only one year older than me, has been determined to choose her future husband. Since then, she has been going to ritual classes."
Sean listened quietly and did not interrupt and said anything. This was the first time he heard about the life and hardships of the royal family - whether it was this world or in the game. Of course, because of Cecilia's relationship, Sean naturally had more sympathy for the princess of the Snow Wind Tribe. After all, the heavy pressure borne by the children of royal nobles like this is definitely not something outsiders can imagine.
However, such pressures naturally have pros and cons. Because with these heavy pressures, all those who can eventually enter the list of royal heirs are real talents. Even if they are not as good as so-called geniuses, at least among their peers, age and even tribes, they are the best and most outstanding. As for those who cannot withstand this pressure, they usually choose to give up the fight for the so-called heirs early and become ordinary people who are mediocre and even mediocre.
There are also many ways to resist in the face of pressure.
Some people will choose to overeat, some people will choose to release their love and desire, some people will choose to kill people and vent their anger, and some people will choose to keep shopping.
Perhaps this princess from the Snow Wind Tribe chose to overeat to release her stress. According to Sean, many delicacies in this world are high in calories. After all, the daily exercise of the strong, the training of soldiers, etc. all require a lot of physical energy and calories. If it is not rich in calories far beyond the standards of the earth, the food required to consume every day may be several times to tens of times that of the earth. In this way, the world has long been in a situation of barren resources, and it is impossible to say that a small principality has a population of more than tens of millions.
The Miracle Continent has never been a world with vast land and sparse land. The so-called barren land is only compared to those rich areas. The greater reason why the extreme northern ice area where the barbarians live in is called barren land is actually because the climate and environment there are relatively harsh and are not suitable for producing grain through planting, but it does not mean that there are few resources to serve as food there, but it is just that there are relatively large risks in collecting.
In this way, since the wilderness can be called a paradise, how could it be a barren land? Especially those second-class seats and third-class seats occupy very fertile, not to mention first-class tribes, so they are completely sufficient to support the population of those tribes in terms of self-sufficiency. What's more, the closer the wilderness is to the inner core area, the more active and common the advanced monsters will be, and the nutritional value they contain is far greater than other monsters.
Therefore, in terms of factors such as high protein and high calorie intake, the wild land should be said to have more advantages than the human kingdom. However, the wild land is in a state of war all year round, and various trainings never stop at a moment. In the wild land, it is just a balance.
Through this point, Sean can roughly determine that the princess of the Xuefeng Tribe should be a princess who relies on brain power. Moreover, under the premise of being high-intensity standards, the calories consumed by brain power far exceed physical energy consumption, so naturally, more calories are needed to be replenished. In addition, under the long-term lack of exercise, it is only a matter of minutes to get fat.
With the elves' love for beauty, the princess of the Snow Wind Tribe can tolerate her figure deformation, which shows what kind of sacrifice she made for her tribe. This made Sean feel a deeper feeling about what Cecilia said just now, so when she looked at the princess in the center of the battlefield, there was a completely different taste at this time.
For Sean, whether it is the Pofeng Tribe or the Xuefeng Tribe, it is just a transitional bridge for him to enter the Wild Land in the future. Of course, even if he does not pass through these two tribes, Sean himself has a plan to gain a foothold in the Wild Land. Judging from the feedback information he has received so far, the progress of the Wild Land is much smoother than that of his in the Duchy of Ryan. However, considering that he still needs the aristocratic status of the Duchy of Ryan as his cover, he doesn't care much about suffering some losses in this country. Otherwise, how could he tolerate those nobles jumping like a clown in front of him?
Many things. From the moment he became a lord, he had to consider the overall situation more. Appropriate tantrums and willfulness can be done, but these cannot conflict with his ultimate goal. Otherwise, before he can develop completely, he will need appropriate choices to make concessions.
Looking at the snow-wind tribe princess with a slightly pale face, Sean looked at Cecilia again, and then sighed slightly.
At this time, the battle between the two sides in the battlefield seemed to have reached the end.
There were seven soldiers from the Wind Tribe, but Sean did not see the sword dancer he had fought with before, so he guessed that there might be eight or even more of his opponents. At this time, there were only two left who were responsible for protecting the princess of the Snow Wind Tribe. One was obviously stronger, and he could persist even if he was besieged by four or five people. Of course, the wound on his body was still increasing, which was obviously a defender; the other fell beside the princess, his face was very pale, and a wound was opened on his waist and a wound that reached the chest cavity. Almost all outsiders could see the beating heart in the sternum through this wound.
It is obvious that even if he no longer attacks this person, he will not be able to live long.
Perhaps because of the secret trip, Sean did not see more guards of the Xuefeng Tribe on the battlefield. However, in addition to the person who was still insisting and the dying person, there were about three corpses on the ground that were obviously supposed to be guards of the Xuefeng Tribe, and five corpses that should be pursuers of the Breaking Wind Tribe.
But what really surprised Sean was that he also saw a human corpse.
And Sean happened to know this human corpse.
Or, he had seen this corpse before.
The coachman who almost crushed the little girl outside the Tonis Fortress the day before yesterday.
Sean still remembered that the coachman got off the carriage with a panic look on his face, and then he was obviously relieved after seeing the little girl safe and sound. For some reason, he did not go forward to check it out in detail, but threw a small bag of coins as compensation, and then hurriedly drove the carriage away again. Sean didn't think much about it at that time, and just felt that the owner of the carriage should have something urgent.
At this time, it seemed that the master should be this princess. And from that time on, they obviously knew that they were being hunted by assassins from the Pofeng Tribe. The journey at that time seemed to be a sign of panic now.
As for why it is not far from Tonys Fortress today, Sean already has an answer in his heart.
Judging from the size of the carriage I saw yesterday, after stuffing it into the princess of the Snow Wind Tribe, I could only barely stuff another person: from the current situation, it should be the elf defender who was still fighting at this time. So they should have stayed in the inner city of Tonys Fortress for a night last night. The seriously injured guard rushed over with three other people to meet up, and then left immediately when the city gate opened in the morning.
However, these people were eventually chased by assassins from the Pofeng Tribe, and then started a series of battles. However, because of too few people, they were ultimately defeated by the assassins of the Pofeng Tribe. Of course, even the Xuefeng Tribe did not expect that the Pofeng Tribe would be so costly to kill this princess. Just what Sean saw now, there were already six gold-level strong men - there were two gold-powered men on the battlefield at this time, and the remaining five were all in the top silver peak.
On the Xuefeng Tribe, only the defender was the top golden powerful man, and the one who was seriously injured and dying may have no meaning to his appearance now. Therefore, it is only a matter of time before the death of the Xuefeng Tribe - or rather, it is a foregone conclusion, because two people have bypassed the defender and prepared to attack the princess.
Although the defender tried his best to go over and help, it was a pity that he was entangled by two powerful golden men and could not get rid of him.
Perhaps, in the end, I could only watch the princess of the Xuefeng Tribe die.
Sean was not surprised at all with such an ending.
In the game, this confrontation mission ended with the death of the princess. If it was really following the progress of history, then the princess was actually a person who would die.
But in fact, Sean is actually a little confused.
Since the Pofeng tribe has dispatched six gold powerful men, why don’t they use them all in one breath, but instead arrange four gold powerful men to stand guard outside? If all the six gold powerful men took action, maybe this princess had become a corpse eight hundred years ago, so she would not have been left until now.
"Shawn..." Cecilia pulled Sean's sleeve lightly.
Sean turned around and looked at Cecilia. Looking at her obviously touched gaze, Sean knew that Cecilia must have recalled her original life experience: If we hadn't met on that rainy night, perhaps the fate of him and Cecilia would have been completely different now, right?
With a sigh, Sean's left hand patted Cecilia's head. Then he stood up: "I get it."
The next moment, the Zongzi Druid was thrown away by Sean.
The distance of more than thirty meters was not a problem for Sean's arm strength. So when the elves of the Wind Breaking Tribe discovered the problem, the druid master was already very close to them. In a panic, the two elves who walked towards the princess of the Snow Wind Tribe thought they were some hidden weapons and immediately attacked.
Sean couldn't help but seek justice for the poor druid master.
These two elves are also in the sword dancer rank system, so although the two of them were in a hurry to take action, they both made the sword quickly and fiercely. In just a few moments, with Sean's eyes, they could see that at least thirty swords could not be swung at the Zongzi Druid. Although the druid master's physique and ability could not be completely killed, it was definitely enough to seriously injure him, which was enough.
Sean didn't want the druid master to restore his strength, and then turned into an Ironbacked King Kong to find their troubles.
After successfully blocking the two sword dancers, Sean also carried the sword and walked out towards the battlefield. At this time, both sides on the battlefield chose to stop temporarily because of this sudden change. However, the people from the Pofeng Tribe did not relax their vigilance, but still formed a siege against the elf defender to prevent him from suddenly breaking through and leaving with the princess of the Xuefeng Tribe.
This is the advantage of the Highland elves.
After believing in the hunting goddess, the highland elves naturally improved their combat skills to a certain extent, especially in terms of their combat intuition and some battlefield situations, they had the advantage of surpassing other elves. But in the same way, they also deteriorated their specialties. For example, in the forest environment, they could no longer have a keen perception like before, so they also needed to arrange people to keep watch. Even when Sean was thirty meters away, they could not find Sean at all.
This world is very fair. Everything has its advantages and disadvantages.
When the two sword dancers finally found that the Druid Master of their own tribe was attacked by them, the two immediately exclaimed, and the Pofeng Tribe and the Xuefeng Tribe were also surprised. However, after the surprise, the expressions of the two sides became more obvious: the Pofeng Tribe looked like a great enemy, while the Xuefeng Tribe looked glad.
At this time, no matter who comes, as long as it is the enemy of the Pofeng Tribe, it will be the benefactor of their Xuefeng Tribe.
Then everyone saw Shawn walking out of the forest alone.
At this moment, because Sean took off his cloak, the elves present could naturally see the young man.
His outfit was very ordinary and there was nothing strange about it. He even had a common set of adventurers who were worn for the convenience of movement, with almost no armor decoration. Only his right hand was holding a long sword, but just looking at the sword body, you could not tell what was unique about the sword, and it was no different from the standard long sword that was most common in the blacksmith shop.
As a result, the people of the Xuefeng Tribe naturally felt a little disappointed.
However, the people from the Pofeng Tribe did not relax their vigilance because of this, and the vigilance on their faces became even more visible.
This forced Sean to sigh. The Highland Elves were indeed well-known in terms of combat vigilance, which made him have no chance to take advantage of.
"This human friend, you should run away quickly. It's not your business." The fire of hope that the princess of the Xuefeng Tribe finally rose was extinguished at this moment, so she hurriedly said, hoping to avoid involuntary people into the water as much as possible.
Unlike what Sean imagined, although the princess of the Snow Wind Tribe had a slightly more beautiful figure, her voice was still quite nice. Especially her heart was not bad, because Sean could clearly feel the sincerity in her words, not hypocritical polite words or some trap, but she really wanted to avoid being involved in this battle.
"It's okay." Sean chuckled, with full confidence in his smile. (To be continued...)
