Chapter 2565 o`) Why didn’t you talk about such a small problem earlier?
In the city of Shengdu Labona, today is still a sunny day with warm wind as usual.
Over the years, thanks to the regulations that strictly prohibit the entry of swords and monsters and the protection of the city guards, it has hardly been ravaged and destroyed by monsters. Of course, it is still a beautiful and prosperous city. This situation is
It is very rare here in the central land of Yuan Luz, and even on this entire huge island.
Perhaps, this is one of the main reasons why Elena, Miria and others agreed to choose this place as the base for their activities without much consideration, right?
Of course!
In any case, those things do not prevent a certain troubled little girl from getting up in the afternoon, eating and drinking, and going out to play leisurely by herself.
Although, during this period of time, she had visited almost every corner of the city, but occasionally she wandered aimlessly in the bustling streets and alleys when she was bored.
It's quite interesting to go around a few times, especially if you can occasionally buy some rare gadgets or delicious snacks and specialties.
"Eh?"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
Sudden!
Anne, who was strolling on the street, turned around and discovered the two guys from the city guard who had a close relationship with Claire, namely the ones named 'Gek' and 'Sidu'.
Two people?
"Are they those two guys?"
ヾ(^▽^*)))
And of course Anne was no stranger to those two guys.
Because the other party is also an old acquaintance of hers. When she and Elena came to this city for the first time, those two people had contact with them, although they didn't get along very happily at that time?
What’s more, in the past two months, especially during Claire’s absence, the two of them came to see Claire several times, and even left a room for Claire not long ago.
The letter was secretly opened and read by Queen Anne.
Of course, those little things don't matter!
The important thing is: Annie discovered that they seemed to be busy with something, and each of them was carrying a large wooden box and mysteriously heading to a remote direction in the city?
"It smells so good..."
|˙˙)?
Seeing this, Anne followed subconsciously, and soon smelled the baking aroma of food, and its source was surprisingly the two large wooden boxes they were holding!
"Are you planning a banquet or gathering?"
|'-')
"Very good!"
-
==()
After observing for a while, she found that the heavy boxes held by the two people seemed to be full of food, and some of them were the children's favorite honey bread flatbread. Then Annie smelled the fragrance and didn't even think about it.
She subconsciously thought that the two people must be having a dinner party, so she quickly followed them quietly with her little bear, ready to join in and have a free meal.
(…)
(●￣￣●)
It's been a while!
Annie, who was walking around all the way, finally followed the two people to the end of a relatively run-down neighborhood, and finally saw the two people entering a small, dilapidated-looking courtyard.
"Why are you in such a shabby place?"
()
Seeing this, Anne couldn't help but feel a little strange.
However, since they had followed them all the way, and after seeing the two people entering the courtyard, there were sounds of many children playing and noisy, she had a lot of doubts and curiosity in her heart.
So he followed it carefully and touched it.
"Eh?"
|o`)
Then, Anne was surprised to find that things were a little different from what she had imagined.
Those two guys were not having a party, but were distributing the two large boxes of food they brought to a group of ragged and dirty little kids?
That really surprised her.
Because she had never seen Uncle Geck, who usually had a stern face and a ferocious scar on his face, and that insidious and cunning Sidor monster, who were so kind to others, and even showed them to a large group of people for free.
Distributing food to little kids who look dirty and are very thin?
Moreover, after looking at the two guys who distributed a piece of food to each little kid, they also chatted with them, asking about their living conditions and how they both talked and laughed and got along very happily. You can tell
It's definitely not the first time those two have done that.
"..."
|-)
Upon seeing this, and seeing that the situation was not what she thought, Anne certainly did not disturb them, and she had no intention of going in for free. She just continued to huddle by the broken wooden frame of the courtyard door.
Decided to take another look at the situation.
"Eh?"
"Are you new here?"
"Come in quickly!"
"If we don't hurry up, the delicious food will be gone!"
"This only happens once a month!"
At this moment, a little girl about six or seven years old first noticed Annie peeping outside the door, and then she quickly waved to Annie who was shrinking outside the door.
"Well?"
"It's her?!"
The little kid's behavior naturally quickly attracted the attention of Gek and Siddur, causing the two of them to turn their heads strangely for the first time and see clearly the man hiding outside the courtyard door at a glance.
Familiar little round face.
"??"
"Are you hungry too?"
"I……"
"I'll get you one!"
Seeing that Anne was still hiding outside the door and refusing to come in, she thought that Anne was shy or scared or something, so the dirty little girl actually took the initiative to squeeze into the crowd and brought the girl from Geck and Xiduo.
He grabbed a piece of bread from one of the big wooden boxes, and then happily ran to the door.
"ah!"
"伱......"
"Aren't you new here?"
But soon!
When I saw Annie hiding outside the door wearing a beautiful little red skirt and shiny reflective boots, and then looking at Annie's clean face and arms, I didn't need to think too much to know that Annie was definitely not with this yard or
The children nearby belonged to the same category, and they were definitely not the 'new ones' to her, so they timidly stopped, and the hand that had just stretched out to stuff the bread into Annie's arms quickly retracted in fear.
.
"..."
(_)ヾ
same!
Seeing the bread with black handprints on it being pushed into her arms, Anne was a little overwhelmed for a moment and didn't know how to deal with it.
"..."
()
So, she just stood silently at the door frame, blinking her big green eyes and curiously looking at the man who seemed to be a little frightened by her. At this time, she was standing aside timidly and looking at it with the same surprise.
Dirty little girl holding her head.
"Okay, Xiaolian!"
"Go back and eat your food first."
"good?"
"If we don't hurry up, they will rob us all."
"Go for it!"
Finally, the ferocious-looking Uncle Geck came over. He first patted the dirty little kid with a runny nose on his head and motioned for him to go back first. Then he and Siddall,
He looked at Annie standing outside the dilapidated courtyard gate and asked:
"Lord Anne, why are you here?"
"Is something wrong?"
Naturally, they have known Anne's identity for a long time. Now she is the master of the "Great Sword Judgment" Knights of the Church of Rabona City. As a city guard of Rabona City, regardless of her authority or ability, she has
The two people, who were one level lower than the 'Giant Sword Judgment', naturally did not dare to show any slightness to Anne, so they quickly stood up at attention and asked strangely.
"Nothing's wrong!"
()°
"People just saw you being mysterious and sneaky and thought it was something fun, so they came over to take a look!"
(ψ｀▽′)o
Anne didn't hide anything and spoke openly.
Then after thinking about it, she walked two steps forward into the yard and stuffed the bread with the 'black handprint' directly back into the man who usually looked sinister and cunning, and would only stay in the distance during fights.
Throwing a flying knife into the hands of the monster Xiduo.
"..."
"..."
Hearing this, the two looked at each other, although they wanted to say that they were not mysterious or sneaky at all, but that it was someone who was sneaky?
However, given someone's status, they still selectively did not dare to contradict him.
"correct!"
(o)
As she spoke, Annie looked around and found that the place was too dilapidated, and that the equally dilapidated mud-brick and wooden house seemed to only have some messy and smelly straw nests and quilts. Then she asked the two of them strangely.
road:
"What happened to them?"
(゜-゜)
"Why are there so many people here?"
()
"Is this a school?"
(Д≡д)!?
Although, Annie looked around, and no matter how she looked, she didn't see what a school should look like here, but she still asked curiously, after all, there were at least forty or fifty children here.
It seems that only schools can do this.
"Study, school?"
"this……"
Hearing Anne's question, Gek and Siddur couldn't help but look at each other in shock and surprise.
"Ah!"
"What kind of school is this?"
"Only children from rich families can afford to go to school. Look, do they look like children from rich families?"
Shaking his head, Uncle Xiduo sighed, feeling a little confused about whether to laugh or cry while the hideous scars on his face were bunched up.
"Lord Anne..."
"This is actually just a simple orphanage."
"or……"
"It's just a shelter, right?"
Then, after the ferocious-looking Gek composed himself and turned to look at the children who were still fighting for food for a while, he added in a heavy and serious tone:
"Is such that."
"They are orphans who have lost their parents and support due to demons in nearby towns and villages in the past few months. Originally, the men were to be sent to the north, while the women were to be sent to the east."
"There are still some who are of suitable age and have been chosen by the church..."
"Unfortunately, the church's financial and material resources are also limited, and it cannot accommodate too many people for the time being, so we have to create this unused yard and place them here temporarily."
"These are orphans. If they don't have anyone to take care of them, they will definitely not be able to survive in this world on their own. We, the city guards, can only do our best to help them."
"Although people from the church will send them food every day, it's not a lot. They can only ensure that they don't starve to death, so we sometimes come to take a look."
"Originally, they were all sent away in the first two months, especially the girls. They were sent to the Far East to be taken over by the organization."
"but……"
"Lady Anne, you also know that after you and the giant sword knights arrive, of course we, Rabona, will not send them away again."
Having said this, Gek's face couldn't help but look a little heavy, and then he thought of something and clenched his fists, making his originally ferocious face become even more terrifying.
"Is that so?"
(⊙o⊙*)
"Is it because of the demon again?"
(**;)
With a wink and a nod, Anne said she probably understood.
"snort!"
"The demon is just a facade!"
"The fundamental reason is the organization!"
However, the strange Sidor next to him held a different opinion.
"Those bastards..."
"Research monsters, create monsters, and then release monsters to create tragedies one after another, thereby obtaining a lot of money and more girls for them to study, and so on..."
"In the past hundred years, I don't know how many towns, how many families, and how many children have been killed by their sinful hands!"
"Those are all heinous demons..."
"One day!"
"When Claire and Miria launch a general attack, I will follow you to the Far East!"
"Then……"
"I will use my dagger to cut off those bastards and demons, their hands and feet, their intestines, hearts, livers, and heads one by one!"
While speaking in the most vicious language, Sidor gritted his teeth with hatred so much that he even unknowingly chewed up the bread that Anne had just returned to him.
The ground was crumpled into a ball without even realizing it.
"I swear!"
"I will definitely do that!!"
It was okay if they didn't know before, but since Elena, Miria and Claire came to Labona and let them know the truth of the matter, he couldn't wait to fly to the organization's nest as soon as possible.
And bring the villains there to justice!
Unfortunately……
Their abilities are still limited, and they cannot defeat even the weakest monsters. Therefore, apart from waiting patiently and cooperating with Elena and Miria's arrangements, there is not much that the city guards can do.
"People know it!"
()
Anne nodded, indicating that she understood.
"Don't worry!"
(^▽^)
"It should be soon. The organization will be wiped out soon!"
(゜▽＾*)
Then, Annie hurriedly comforted the two of them.
Because she knows that the plan of Miriya and others has now begun to be implemented. After controlling this circle, they will go to eliminate the abyssal ones, and then the organization. No matter how slow the progress is, it is estimated that within half a year
It’s almost done.
"correct!"
|ω)
"The little guy just said that they can only eat that kind of thing once a month?"
(ー`ー)
"Why don't you send more?"
(ˇˇ)
"And this house is too shabby, isn't it?"
=('ヮ'=)
Then, thinking of what the dirty little girl who took the initiative to bring her food just said, Annie quickly asked again.
"this……"
"Well……"
Hearing Anne ask this kind of thing, Geck and Xiduo couldn't help but look at each other again with a bit of laughter, and then finally confessed honestly:
"Lord Anne..."
"We have no money!"
"yes!"
"The salary is only paid once a month, and it's just that much. In addition to leaving enough for myself and my family, and then everyone can collect more, it would be nice to come once a month to give them something good to eat."
"Say it again!"
"The church and the city hall don't have any money either..."
"No matter what, we have to maintain the operation of such a large city, and the tax revenue is getting less and less due to the raging demons, and it is even worse every year..."
"In addition, the church has already rescued hundreds of people. If the church is filled with more people, it will become a homeless shelter. It is quite good that these dozens of children can have a shelter here."
"Isn't it?"
"I just hope that the demons and organizations can be eliminated quickly, so that everyone can live a peaceful and stable life as soon as possible, right?"
"well……"
It was okay not to ask, but as soon as Anne asked, the two of them began to complain vigorously, and in the end they did not forget to look forward to the kind of beautiful life they would live in the future with some sadness.
"No money?"
(°ー°〃)
"This is so simple!"
(c)
Hearing that the root of the problem was such a small thing, Anne quickly patted her little chest and ordered:
"Go find Sister Miria!"
(*^▽^*)
"Just say it was someone else who asked her to advance you a small amount of money to build schools, dormitories and buy clothes for these dirty and smelly guys. Let them eat well and live well. Don't be so dirty anymore.
It stinks!"
(ψ｀▽′)o
Just like that, Anne waved her hand and said openly that if she had come to her earlier, she would have solved such a small matter. How could it be so miserable like these two people?
(…)
(●￣￣●)
"ah?"
"But……"
"Lady Anne!"
"That will cost a lot of money!"
"you……"
"Are you really sure?"
Hearing this, the two of them looked at each other in shock, and then hesitated for a long time before asking anxiously.
"Why don't we just forget it?"
"yes!"
"The financial situation is not good now, so don't bother Miria and the others, right?"
After all, they know better than anyone what the financial situation of Labona City is. Now is the critical time. Only by concentrating financial, material and manpower to give priority to completely solving the problem of demons and organizations, in the future, here and the entire Circle Luz and even more places
Only then can people truly live a good life!
Therefore, they do not want to embarrass Miria or Elena because of this matter, and directly disrupt the plan, thereby delaying the time to eliminate the demon and the organization. If that really happens, they will be the criminals.
Already.
"??"
()
"Does he seem to be short of money?"
(ˇεˇ)
Seeing this, Anne, who probably knew what the two of them were thinking, glared at them angrily.
If she could, she really wanted to say: Not to mention building a house, building a school and solving the small problem of food and accommodation, even if she was asked to put gold bricks on all the floors, walls and even the walls of this city, she, Queen Anne,
You won’t even frown!
Her Lady Queen Anne is so arrogant and rich!
(…)
(●￣￣●)
"Anyway!"
(へ╬)
"That's it!"
()
After saying that, she took one last look at the little kids who were still fighting for food and the dirty little girl who was peeking at her eating the cake with snot in her nose. Anne curled her lips, then turned around and walked away, leaving this place.
She thought there would be a fun place to have dinner together.
"..."
"..."
Seeing the little figure striding away arrogantly, Gekko and Siddur couldn't help but look at each other in confusion. They were also at a loss and didn't know whether they should do what the other party said.
…
at the same time!
When the Holy City of Labona was developing in an orderly manner, when the 'Great Swords' were taking the initiative to sweep away the demons and awakened ones in the Central Land Circle Ruzli and received great welcome and support from the people, in
In the far east, agent Lulu, who was about to leave Stafford, saw the 'Dark Twins' Alicia and Bissie heading northwest at high speed, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"..."
And it wasn't until they disappeared completely that he pushed up the sunglasses on his nose with a half-smile, and then looked towards the north of the world.
"whispering sound!"
"A knight in golden armor and a giant sword who left Labona City alone and is looking for a young man named 'Laki' in the northern border area?"
"hey-hey!"
"It's really interesting now that the organization's strongest weapon takes action in person. I wonder how you are going to deal with it?"
"Claire..."
After saying that, the agent Lulu adjusted the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose again, then said nothing more, and turned to the west, preparing to take his carriage and leave Stafford, the far east place.
What is going to happen in the north is someone else's responsibility, and he is responsible for the city of Saint Rabona in the Central Land of Circle. Therefore, when other agents begin to receive missions, he also has to set off and go
Keep an eye on that city as ordered.
certainly!
Whether he will really follow the instructions of the leader of the organization and stare at every move of Rabona City and those 'giant swords' and then report to the organization's headquarters Stafford immediately is a matter of opinion.
Problem.
Huh~huh~
The cold wind continued to howl over this far east land, trying to get into every corner, which made Lulu tighten his collar.
The weather was going to change and get colder, so he had to prepare in advance.
