Chapter 34
Chapter 34
Bai Xue was awakened by Marianna's footsteps.Because Oster and the others were taken to the dungeon one by one, and Marianne hadn't said how to arrange for Baixue, the jailers of the Grand Duchy of Aquique began to belittle Baixue, but it was not enough to let her fend for herself. the point.
Of course, they didn't have the guts to attack the indistinguishably beautiful Bai Xue.
Gein, Marianna and Baixue herself gave them the impression that they were not to be trifled with.
"Let him out." Mariana moved her nose, not wanting to smell unpleasant smells from Bai Xue.
"Did you change his clothes and bathe him regularly?" Abigail, who knew that Marianne had a slight cleanliness obsession, stared at the jailer expressionlessly, exuding "If you dare to sabotage your work, I will kill you" all over her body. breath.
"Of course." The jailer who was frightened by Abigail replied immediately: "According to your instructions, we will clean him the next day. It's just that this guy is neither obedient nor has a strong resistance. It has medicinal properties, so every time you clean it, you have to toss it."
"Thank you." Mariana didn't understand the jailer's implication. After all, the premise of making people do things is to give people benefits, so she took a privately stamped note from Abigail for the jailer's convenience. Go get the bounty.
The attitude of the jailer who accepted the note was a little better than before, and immediately opened Baixue's cage for Mariana.
"Can you come out?" Mariana reached out her hand to Bai Xue, who staggered towards Mariana after a short hesitation.
Because Baixue has been locked in a cage for a long time, and after he was brought into the dungeon of the Grand Duchy of Aquique, he also habitually maintained the posture of staying in the cage, so the muscles of his legs have atrophied to a certain extent, all thanks to super strength. Strong physique drives the legs forcibly.
"Is this guy a monster?" Abigail's witch talent gave her the ability to easily see through the other person's physical condition.And after she served Marianne, she relied on her employer's contacts to meet many strange people with abnormal physiques, among which Lucius after entering the temple was the most.
But in terms of physique, maybe Lucius is slightly inferior to Bai Xue.
"This guy's resilience is terrible." Abigail is another pair of eyes of Mariana, so she will not hide anything from Mariana: "Even the king worm rarely has such a strong vitality."
The instability of hybrids makes them easily inferior to humanoids.
Before this, Abigail had never seen a special case like Baixue, but considering Baixue's mental retardation, this situation is also possible.
However, Mariana cared about another thing: "When did you see the king worm?"
You must know that the living range of the Zerg is limited to the depths of the dark forest, and because of the thick skin and strong vitality, even veteran adventurers will not easily take over the tasks related to the Zerg.
And the king worm is the top of the pyramid of the Zerg, and almost no one has seen their true appearance.Moreover, human beings' knowledge of the king worm is limited to the documents before the founding of Emperor Capel and the historical books seized from the humanoid tribes.
Mariana knew that Abigail was from an older family of witches, but she didn't know much about her past.
Abigail didn't want to recall the past, but out of trust in Mariana, she was still a little reluctant and said: "The reason why I was caught by Cantero's adventure team is because the king worm destroyed A tribe of witches."
"But why did the king worm take the risk of conflicting with humans to attack witches who have no conflict of interest with them?" Mariana expressed her puzzlement.
Although the church lists witches as targets of expulsion, limited by the needs of all parties, even the most conservative Cantero will not conflict with the witch tribes around the town.
Unless a witch trespassed on a human settlement, no one would bother to trouble a witch.
"I've never heard of the Zerg invasion at Cantero's place." Mariana always felt that something was wrong, but she didn't have time to talk to Abigail right now, so she could only talk about the king's invasion. The question of worms is put on hold for now.
According to Mariana's request, Baixue's long hair was cut into short hair that reached the ears.Because of the limited skills of the prison guards, the ends of Bai Xue's hair were as rough as a wooden broom tied up casually, and this indescribable hairstyle was supported entirely by Bai Xue's appearance.
"Are you used to standing?" Mariana stretched out her hand to hold Baixue's right forearm, and the latter's pair of shallow rose-colored pupils that looked like glass reflected Mariana's astonished expression.
Faced with such a soul-stirring beauty, even Marianna, who has read all the beauties, feels amazed.
Not to mention Abigail, who was on the side, almost squeezed out a sentence: "Why are men so good-looking?"
In Abigail's family history, there are many witches who turned beautiful women into toads and other disgusting creatures out of jealousy, so Marianne scratched Bai Xue's chin and teased, "Are you jealous?"
"Yeah, it's not jealousy." Abigail, who was trying to save herself, tried to change the subject: "How are you going to arrange this guy?"
Abigail stared at Baixue's rare docile appearance, and directly led into the long-haired retriever raised by the Grand Duchess Aquique.
"Did you choose to buy Baixue because you couldn't keep a pet yourself?" Abigail said suddenly without thinking.
And Mariana actually didn't refute this point of view: "He is indeed very well-behaved and cute."
Abigail heard a trace of inexplicable regret in Mariana's tone, but she quickly understood the reason for Mariana's regret.
The doctor waiting at the door of the dungeon reached out his hand to erase the slave brand on Baixue's body under Mariana's nod, and then asked Mariana again: "Are you sure you want to do this?"
From the doctor's point of view, Mariana's behavior was just spending money and spending money for fun, and to put it more harshly, she was mentally retarded.
"Don't scold me in your heart." Mariana glanced at the doctor's expression and warned, "Otherwise, you won't want the funding for next month."
"..." The doctor who succumbed to Qian took a deep breath, tried his best to pretend to be courteous, opened the carriage door for Mariana, and then said with a fake smile: "Your Highness, please."
Mariana really loves the other party's aggrieved look who is clearly half dead, but can't get rid of her.
Feeling that after meeting Marianna, my heart became old. The ten-year-old doctor couldn't hold back his violent temper that took 100 years to get rid of. When Marianne got on the car, he stepped on the skirt of his employer, almost Made Mariana slam her head on the cushion.
Fortunately, Abigail, who got into the car first, was ready to catch Mariana with quick eyes and hands.
As a result, when Mariana's forearm was about to catch Abigail, a powerful arm stopped Mariana's waist, avoiding the crisis of Mariana's disfigurement.
Bai Xue's strength was in stark contrast to his appearance, and Gein was the result of the Zerg and snake half-orc genes in his body.
When Mariana thought that such a cutie was about to leave her, she felt a little melancholy about what was going to happen next, but this did not prevent her from ordering the doctor to bow his head with money, and then tapped him on the forehead.
"Are you happy?" Mariana stared at the doctor's face that hadn't changed at all, and couldn't feel the joy of venting her anger at all: "You can't change your face all together!"
"How is that possible." The doctor's expression seemed to be more regretful than Mariana's: "If I had that kind of ability, I would have already left the human body and become a higher-level creature than human beings."
"Really?" Mariana said very excitedly: "If you become an immortal creature one day, don't forget me as a patron."
"Why, you also want to be an immortal?" The doctor stretched out his hand to help Mariana board the carriage. After smoothing the hem of her skirt, the latter gave the doctor a meaningful look: "This is what Emperor Capel brought into the tomb." sorry."
"May her reign last forever." The doctor didn't use a masculine pronoun, which surprised Mariana.
"Your grandmother Marie Lorraine ended the Lorraine dynasty's rule over Obstar." The doctor still remembers the woman who refused to sentence herself to death, but put him in prison—Marianne's grandmother, Obstar History One of the greatest rulers in the world, and also opened the Dunawa family's dispute over the Cantero throne: "Maybe you will use people's praise for Queen Mary someday."
"Are you kidding me?" Mariana laughed and said, "I have one, two, three... a total of six heirs in front of me. Even if Obsda does not object to the queen's ascension to the throne, they will not be happy to see me become the queen. Ruler of Obstar."
"Is it because of your mother?" The doctor understood that the Grand Duchess Aquique had become the most unwelcome guest in Obsta's court after the successive deaths of Queen Mary and Prince Dunawa.
However, for the funds and huge connections of the Grand Duchy of Aquique, King Obstar still had to hold his nose and extend an invitation to his former fiancée and sister-in-law, lest the Grand Duchess of Aquique fall to Cantero.
"I don't understand politics, but I am very interested in folk superstitions." The doctor and Bai Xue got into the car one by one, and after closing the door with the emblem of the Grand Duchy of Aquique, they remembered a past that was about to be forgotten: "Your Grandfather Prince Dunawa uttered such a sentence when he was dying."
The doctor's violet pupils suddenly revealed the same luster as mechanical eyes: "The throne comes with a woman, and it will go with a woman."
Because the Dunawa Dynasty inherited the scepter of the Lorraine Dynasty through Queen Mary, King Obsta was very worried that his country would be cheaper than his son-in-law... or his wife.
"Before you and Innes were born, many people believed that the Grand Duchess Aquique was the woman who took the throne." The royal scandal is always unimaginably explosive.Especially human beings like the doctor who have inexplicably trusted superstitions because they have lived too long: "Some people will make predictions about future generations before they die. Although there is only one sentence in Prince Dunawa's last words, look at Orbus It is estimated that the Dunawa dynasty will last no more than four generations based on King Da's showmanship."
Speaking of this, the doctor also gave Mariana a "I believe in you" look.
"Most people, including King Obsta, think that the woman in the prophecy is Innes, but I think you are more likely to inherit Obsta than Innes." The doctor raised his legs, not in the slightest Care about how shocking your own words are: "After all, you are more like Queen Mary than Innes, and those who like to speculate on prophecies are the easiest to lose."
"Even if I am your employer, don't be blindly confident in me!" Mariana's ultimate goal is to become a rich salted fish.Besides, taking over a Britannia is already her limit, if you add Obsta...
Mariana covered her face full of reluctance with her forehead.
Why set such an ambitious goal for a salted fish?
Can't she be a rich and empty rich woman?
But then again...
"Is the prophecy of Prince Dunawa known only to you and members of the royal family in Obstar?" Mariana's sensitivity can always be reflected in the place she least wants to face.
The doctor, who originally wanted to see if Mariana would show a surprised expression, was cornered instead: "What do you want to say."
"Does Odin's royal family know about Prince Dunawa's prophecy?" Mariana thought of the family that was rich in poisonous snakes, and felt that this guess was at least [-]% likely: "Maybe Odin's previous emperor was on me just like you Bet, and the little emperor, like everyone else in Obstar, felt that the bet on Innes was the final winner."
"As expected of me, I can actually see the same thing as Odin's old viper hero." The doctor boasted under Mariana's speechless gaze, and then looked out the window: "Here we are."
…………… I am the dividing line……………
The Grand Duchy of Aquique is next to a dark forest surrounded by the Papal States, the sea, and the Northern Alliance.Of course, on the map, its full name is the easternmost dark inner forest, and its scale is completely inferior to the dark forest bordering Cantero and Odin, but for ordinary people or small and medium adventurers, it is The degree of danger is not small at all.
Because Mariana was going to the place where the Grand Duchy of Aquique joined the Dark Forest, the guards guarding the city had to get up early and use all available resources to ensure Mariana's safety.
After all, this is the daughter of Grand Duchess Aquique.
If something happened to Mariana, those who ate the imperial rations, as well as the nearby officers, would not be able to live.
"You really shouldn't come here in the carriage of the Grand Duchy of Aquique." The doctor, who blocked himself tightly, was not used to the sight of everyone, which reminded him of the past when he was bullied in the street, and couldn't help but tense up. Clothes on the body to prevent the skin from being exposed.
Mariana also said helplessly: "This is the request of the mother. She said that if I want to go to the border between the Grand Duchy of Aquique and the Dark Forest, I must take the carriage of the Grand Duchy of Aquique."
"Then your mother really loves you!" The doctor not only sarcastically but sighed and dropped such a sentence, and then looked at the soldiers shivering from the morning dew: "For the whimsy of a certain young lady, A group of people have to be tossed along."
"However, this kind of tossing does not make you work for nothing." Marianne retorted: "The reward of thirty talents is enough to support a family of three for half a month."
"You mean, you are about to let go of the annual income of 750 families of three." The doctor looked at Bai Xue who had been following Marianna, and wondered what kind of expression he would show later.
"Are you sure you don't regret it?" The doctor asked again before taking off Bai Xue's collar: "It's hard for a slave to come back after running away."
"Yeah! So I hesitated more than once before making up my mind." Mariana scratched Bai Xue's chin for the last time, watching the latter narrow her beautiful rose-colored eyes, like a pet being groomed: " It's just that nothing is as important as my life."
After all, having money but not enjoying life is undoubtedly the saddest thing in the world.
"He's a knife I'm going to use close to my body." Under the protection of Abigail, Mariana kept away from Bai Xue so that the doctor could untie his collar for him.
"The premise is that he is willing to stay by my side without the restraint of the mark and collar, otherwise I won't rest assured that he will protect me."
"But this is too ridiculous." Abigail shuddered at Mariana's description: "You are strengthening Snow White's slavishness."
"Maybe!" Mariana also felt that she had changed a lot in the past few years, and was gradually assimilated into the group of people she despised: "So I gave him a choice."
After a crisp mechanical sound, the doctor opened Snow White's collar, and then slowly retreated to Marianne's side.
"Bai Xue, make your choice." Mariana pointed to the opened city gate and ordered to Bai Xue: "You can choose to come back, or you can choose to leave here."
Bai Xue, who didn't understand what happened to her body, could only stare blankly at Marianna.Because he had never encountered such a complicated situation, after racking his brains, he took a tentative step towards the city gate, and then looked back at Mariana, like a child facing a multiple-choice question asking for help for parents.
"You can leave." Mariana sighed, and said to the doctor and Abigail: "Let's go! I lost the bet."
"It's too late to regret it now." The doctor glanced at the hesitant Bai Xue, and said thoughtfully: "Within this distance, I can still catch him back, but it's hard to say outside the city gate."
But Mariana didn't listen to the doctor's suggestion. Instead, after boarding the carriage, she watched Bai Xue quickly step out of the city gate and disappear into the dark forest.
"You're such a mess." Abigail sneered on the way back, but Mariana directly deprived her of her midnight snack for the past few days.
"This man! You can't be blindly confident in yourself at any time." The doctor's mocking skills are far better than Abigail's.
As a result, a week later, news came from the city gate at the junction of the Grand Duchy of Aquiqui and the Dark Forest, saying that Snow White had returned.
