On this day, it was not until late at night that Anne finally returned to Neverwinter City.
No one knew where she had gone and what she had done that day. She did not take the initiative to tell anyone, and most of the others, such as Edkin, Kira, Holgai and the maids of Never Castle.
They were used to it, and they had no intention of taking the initiative to ask. Even those people didn't know that Anne was back at this time.
After all, this time she used teleportation magic to return to the room without warning, as she did most of the time. Without making a big fanfare or calling out the maid, others naturally didn't know she had returned.
Her room is located at the top of the Never Castle.
"Eh?"
|˙˙)
"that is……"
()
"Hey! It's really..."
(lll￢▽￢)
And when she just appeared in her room, she didn't know what she saw. She was startled for a moment, then she felt dumbfounded and strode straight to the edge of her boat, and then opened the top.
He grabbed the quilt, and then he grabbed a colorful snake from the quilt. Without thinking, he quickly tied it into a knot and then threw it out of the window.
"??"
"ah!!"
Then!
Without too many surprises, the colorful venomous snake uttered human words and screamed in surprise the moment it was thrown out of the window.
"hateful!"
Then, before it fell from the top of the tall Everlasting Castle to the rocks in the bay below, it quickly broke free of the knot after exclaiming, and then transformed into a human in mid-air.
He caught a snowy owl and flew back angrily, flew into the room through the window, and after landing, transformed back into the appearance of the pretty tiefling druid Doric with horns on his head and a tail hidden behind his butt.
"Annie!"
"When did you come back?"
As soon as the words came out, Doric quickly shook his head, then quickly corrected and continued:
"wrong!"
"What I want to ask now is: How did you find me?!"
Yes, Doric was very puzzled by this.
You know, during the recent period, in order to retaliate against Anne for ambushing and humiliating her on the way, she has been racking her brains these days to think of ways to retaliate and tease her back.
For example: she has transformed into various animals and ambushed around the corner of the castle or garden, she has also transformed into a terrifying mollusk and sneaked into the queen's bathhouse in the castle to make a surprise attack, or she has transformed into a snake drill like just now.
Entering Anne's bed and waiting there, just to scare Anne severely and avenge the original revenge to vent her inner hatred?
But the result...
Every time, I don’t know why, either I failed to scare Annie, or I was discovered by Annie in advance and exposed ruthlessly, or like just now, I was teased and humiliated by Annie.
And regarding this, she decided to figure it out no matter what happened today!
"Do you still have to ask this?"
(￢д￢.)
"It's very simple. You just fell asleep and the snake's tail was exposed!"
╮(╯▽╰)╭
"What a fool!"
(＿＿*)
With that said, Annie jumped directly onto the bed and lay on it without opening her eyes as she answered dully.
But actually, the tail really doesn't matter.
Because, Anne said, even if the other party's little tail was not exposed, she could automatically sense the 'malicious' threat and source as soon as she got close, and there was no need for her to look or think too much. Who told her Anne
How disgusting is the Queen?
Anyway!
It is absolutely impossible for the other party to prank her or scare her by using the tricks and tricks that Queen Anne herself has already used.
(…)
(●￣￣●)
"Tail?"
"Is that so?"
"Although I did fall asleep just now, I should remember to hide my tail, right?"
"Did you accidentally stick it out?"
Doric thought for a while, pondered and murmured to himself for a while, and finally thought that Anne had really seen him showing off, so she could only purse her lips and say hatefully.
"All right!"
"It seems that you are not used to sleeping in a transformed state. I will definitely pay attention to it next time!"
Although he has failed several times, Doric is not in a hurry to give up.
After all, although she has not scared Annie once these days, Edkin's daughter Kira is really frightened by her, so much so that the poor little girl has not dared to torment her recently.
Come to Annie's room or take the initiative to play with Annie.
Therefore, every time he thinks about that kind of thing, thinking about the aggrieved look of the little girl who was frightened by him, very angry but did not dare to speak out, and did not dare to complain to Edkin, Doric felt annoyed in his heart.
It's finally a lot more balanced.
perhaps……
That's the so-called 'Conservation of Happiness Principle' that Annie talked about in the past. The happiness she couldn't get from Annie, after getting it from little Kira, would indeed make up for the happiness she lost.
The balance is restored.
"You wait!"
"I will definitely think of a good way to scare you next time!"
Although, this was not the first time that Doric had said this, but she couldn't help but said it again hatefully as she refused to admit defeat.
"Uh-huh!"
(ω)
"Next time, remember to change it to something delicious, so that people can pretend not to notice and just eat you?"
(゜﹃＾*)
Anne raised her eyes to glance at the other person, and glanced over his body and body with malicious eyes.
It was okay if she didn't say it, but when she said it, she couldn't help but think of the time in Liyue when she pretended to be a Qiuqiu wizard and went to cook Paimon and Sister Ying.
Those two guys were once thrown into the pot by Queen Anne, and they were the smooth and smooth ones. Now that I think about it, they feel a bit delicious!
At that time, the two of them were really scared by her at first. After all, as a Qiuqiu wizard, she directly defeated and subdued the two of them, and then stripped them clean.
Then he threw it into a big pot and stewed it slowly. If she hadn't accidentally revealed her fault first, that guy would have been scared to death like Paimon, right?
"How about turning into a cute little bunny?"
/)/)
(-)
Anne said that she suddenly wanted to eat spicy rabbit heads. When the time comes, as long as she is faster with the knife and as long as the Doric lady in front of her doesn't scream, maybe she can treat her as an ordinary rabbit.
rabbit?
“Rabbit is delicious!”
(ω)
"I used to raise two of them, and they couldn't finish them!"
()hey-hey!
As she spoke, Anne couldn't help but think of the red and blue twin maid sisters Rem and Ram.
Those two people are very considerate and good at serving others. They take good care of Queen Anne's food, clothing, housing and transportation every day. In comparison, the maids and Kira in Never Castle are
Sisters and the others were thrown away at least dozens of streets away!
Anyway, those guys in this castle cannot be compared with the two sisters Rem and Ram!
(…)
(●￣￣●)
(Tibbers said that he also likes the twin maid sisters. The taste is really good. One is tender and the other is moist. In short, they have their own merits! If there is a chance, he will definitely eat them again.
And it’s guaranteed to be the kind that you chew slowly and savor carefully?)
"!!"
"You're still turning into a bunny? You have a pretty good idea!"
"next time……"
"I will turn into a mouse or a toad and crawl into your arms!"
"Just wait!"
Unexpectedly, Anne was still having such evil ideas, so Doric said angrily and shouted, saying that it would definitely turn into something ugly, ugly and absolutely inedible.
"Toad?"
(**;)
"The toad is not good, but the frog is delicious!"
(﹃)
“I’ve eaten a lot of them before!”
()
As she spoke, Annie, who was drooling, simply sat up on the bed, and then began to recall the time when she and a group of kids roasted frogs in the classroom.
Anyway, she knew that the meat of the two thighs of the frog was very tender, and it was super delicious whether it was steamed, grilled, or fried!
"!!"
"Toads and frogs are different!"
"You can't eat toads!"
Doric retorted with a bluffing face, and secretly made up his mind that he would never easily turn into an appetite-inducing animal like a frog in front of Anne in the future.
"It's the same even if you peel it off!"
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
"It should be about the same, right?"
乛乛
It's true that Annie has never eaten a toad, but if a young lady really wants to scare her by turning into something like that, then she doesn't mind giving it a try.
Besides, even if she doesn't eat it herself, she can roast it and feed it to her little bears. Anyway, her little bears are vegetarian and meat-free, and there is no taboo or saying that intelligent creatures cannot eat them.
(…)
(●￣￣●)
(Tibbers said that he still doesn’t like to eat cooked food. He can just peel it off and throw it into his mouth to chew. Uncle Bear just likes to eat fresh food, which will be more tender and chew in his mouth.
It can also bark like "squeak" or "yay", and a bear with an average taste will definitely not be able to enjoy it.)
"!!"
"And peeling off the skin!"
"Don't even think about it!!"
have to!
At this moment, Doric didn't know what to say, and secretly decided that she would never turn into a toad or frog, because she was not sure whether the other party would really peel off her skin.
"correct!"
"Where did you go to play today?"
"Tell me about it?"
After a pause, Doric walked back to Anne's bed angrily, sat down, changed the subject and asked.
Now the city of Neverwinter is being rebuilt in full swing, but this terrible little girl in front of her, as the queen of Neverwinter, has been missing all day long. She only cares about herself and leaves everything to them.
Doric must have been somewhat dissatisfied in his heart.
"I didn't go anywhere, I just wandered around!"
(=▽｀)ゞ
"correct!"
(▽)
"I went to a place called Dancing Dolphin Bay today, and I beat up a verbose necromancer and snatched his wand away!"
(｀▽*)
"Here!"
╭(′▽`)╯
"Give it to you to play with!"
(ψ｀▽′)o
As she spoke, Anne took out a magic wand from her pocket and waved it, first erasing all the restrictions in it, and letting a purple light flash across the room, lighting up the surrounding air.
After everything became extremely chaotic, she threw it into Doric's arms.
"Dancing Dolphin Cove?"
"etc!"
"Isn't that on the other side of Faerûn, on the other side of that giant sea?"
When Doric heard Anne mention the name of the place and realized what kind of place it was, he quickly sighed and looked even more excited than Anne.
"Annie!"
"You actually ran so far away. I only heard that it seems to be the territory of the jackals, and that there is that terrible god of jackals?"
She had heard about jackals before in the Green Garden, and knew the general distribution of those terrifying creatures. She even knew that jackals had their own gods. It was said that the other gods had wings like dragons or bats.
?
But the specific identity of Doric is unknown. Anyway, she was raised by the wood elves in the Neverwinter Forest, and then joined the Green Garden to become a druid. She has never been like that.
From far away, she is only familiar with the area near the Sword Coast, or even only the area near Neverwinter?
"Gnoll?"
く(＾_)ゝ
"You're talking about the kind of kobold, right?"
(゜-゜)
"I have indeed seen a lot over there. There seems to be some kind of Jackal Sentinel Mountain Range?"
(▽)
"But they didn't provoke anyone, and of course they didn't pay attention to them. They just beat up a lich in the Hills of the Death King, and then took away his staff!"
(^▽^)
Anne said triumphantly, and once again motioned to Doric to put away the wand, because it was quite fun, otherwise Anne would not have brought it back.
"So that's it!"
Looking at the wand in his hand, Doric thought for a moment and finally said:
"But this staff is of no use to me!"
"That's it!"
"I'd better take it to Simon to see later!"
"He is a warlock, should he be able to use it?"
Doric is a druid of the Green Garden, but now Anne has given her a lich's wand, which must be unprofessional, so she plans to give it to Simon.
"up to you!"
()
Anne felt a little sad and didn't want to discuss such boring things.
After all, it's just a piece of broken wood. If it weren't for some fun, she wouldn't bring it back. Now that it's been given away, who would she care about giving it to the other party?
"oops!"
"Almost forgot!"
In this way, the two of them chatted for a while, and then Doric suddenly seemed to have remembered something important and said quickly with a serious look:
"Annie!"
"The lords of the Lords Alliance came to Neverwinter City today and said they wanted to meet you?"
"Edkin said that if you come back, you'd better take some time to meet those guys?"
"Henk should be receiving them now, right?"
Recalling some of Edkin's inappropriate words and his disdain and disdain for the lords at that time, Doric hesitated for a moment, but in the end he did not dare to say Edkin's words that could easily create conflicts, but instead said this
Expressed euphemistically.
"Lords of the Lords Alliance?"
()
"People don't know them, so what are they doing here?"
ヾ(=ω=)o
Anne was sure that she didn't know those guys, so she didn't even mean to move, she just asked inexplicably.
"I don't know either!"
"I only know that they came in the name of celebration and visit. After all, we in Neverwinter City are also a member of the Alliance of Lords. Maybe they have some important matters?"
Doric himself didn't know much about the real thoughts of those big figures, so he could only explain it this way.
"Is that so?"
(⊙o⊙*)
"Then just go and send them away. I don't want to see them at all!"
()
"Might as well sleep!"
∠(　∠)＿
When she heard that it was not a fun thing, Annie's interest instantly disappeared, and she lay down directly on her big bed without any intention of taking any action.
"But……"
"They have been waiting in the castle all day. Is it really okay?"
To be honest, after knowing what the Lords Alliance had done before, Doric, like Edkin, was a little dissatisfied with those guys. However, she did not want the relationship between them to become too tense, so she still carefully advised them.
"Anyway, I'm not free right now."
_(:△　∠)_
"Let's talk tomorrow when we have time..."
(**)
After saying that, Annie closed her eyes directly and looked determined and unmoved.
"or……"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
"Sister Doric, you can become someone else and go see them!"
ヾ(^▽^*)))
But soon, Annie thought of another wonderful idea and suggested.
"ah?"
"No, no!"
"I'm a druid. I can only transform into animals, but I don't know the human transformation technique!"
Upon hearing Anne's absurd idea, Doric quickly waved his hand and refused and explained:
"and!"
"I heard that some of those lords are very powerful people. One of them is the Supreme Mage of Silvermoon City?"
"My transformation technique can't fool even the red witch, let alone the Supreme Mage!"
"You'd better spare me!"
You know, that is the Supreme Mage, a being who even Simon would stand aside obediently when meeting him. How could she, Doric, dare to overstep in front of such a being?
"Then just wait until tomorrow!"
o(^｀)o
"Anyway, I don't want to see them today. If they can't wait, they will go back on their own!"
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
"that's all!"
(￣o￣) z Z
After saying that, regardless of whether Doric wanted to say anything else, Anne closed her eyes and pretended to be fast asleep.
"All right……"
"Then let's talk tomorrow afternoon?"
Seeing Anne's appearance, Doric nodded, then jumped out of bed obediently, preparing to talk to Edkin and Henk, and arranged the meeting at lunch time tomorrow afternoon after Anne got up.
"..."
(.-ω-)zzz
Anne turned sideways and continued to pretend to be asleep without answering or giving any guarantee.
