Chapter 439: Intertwined Hearts

The heavy snow never stopped.

This is still a very rare thing in the winter of Khalkhaland, and this is naturally not good news for Oldman, because of the bad weather, they can only postpone the attack on Tagus again and again, and Oldman originally planned to contribute Tagus before the New Year's festival, and then everyone will be happy in the city for the New Year. But now he has to push the offensive time into the next year, and for Oldman, it is also unfortunate. Because the longer it drags on, the worse it will be for them. Once they can't occupy Tagus in a short time after the Chinese New Year, then the Soros family can send more troops to reinforce them, and at that time, it is absolutely impossible for them to win the other party.

And Jenn's idea to Oldman is the same, he hopes that Oldman can occupy Tagus as soon as possible, and then rule the entire Khalkaland region with it as the center, as long as he can barely maintain the current situation, then after the spring comes, even if the Soros family wants to send troops, they must also take into account the power of Oldman and others who own Tagus City. And if they are still besieged as they are now, then it will be much easier for the Soros family to defeat them.

After all, it is obviously easier to besiege a city and relieve a city than to relieve it.

It's a pity that the sky doesn't fulfill people's wishes, so Oldman can only helplessly wait for the heavy snow to pass, and then find a way.

But the most depressed one is still Nadia.

She has been by Aislin's side all these days, and she has nothing to say about this eldest lady. After that, Jenn and Oldman declared to the others that Ethlyn was the daughter of a merchant they had rescued from the caravan. There was little doubt about this, not to mention that they had indeed discovered Acelyn from the caravan. So the crowd accepted this explanation without much doubt.

And for Aceline, this is indeed a very rare experience.

In the beginning. The eldest lady was still a little frightened, for fear that those people would catch her and roast her. Soon, however, Acelyn discovered that the people in the camp were not as green and fanged as she had imagined, nor were they at all fierce and tyrannical. It was completely different from the murderous, terrifying, murder-loving mob she imagined. When she walked outside, everyone would greet her heartily and ask her if she was okay. Esslyn was almost flattered by this. After all, she was born in an aristocratic family, and in an aristocratic family. Rarely do so many people care about themselves. After all, the identities between the nobles and the servants were there, and the servants did not dare to make such a rude move to the nobles. But these people are different, they don't care about their identity, and they will even pat her on the shoulder and joke with her. Although Acelyn was initially afraid of these "mobs", after that, she gradually got used to this kind of life.

Acelyn was getting used to it, but for Nadia, she wasn't at all.

Although they are one of only a few girls of similar age in the entire station, they should have a good relationship in their own right. And to be honest, Nadia doesn't have much ill will towards Acelyn either. Merely......... Nadia really felt that she and this eldest lady had no common language at all.

As a paladin. Nadia is concerned with fighting evil, upholding justice, and praying to her gods. Be firm in your beliefs. As a pure eldest lady, Acelyn doesn't know anything about this. She prefers to talk about today's weather, beautiful clothes and good food. Or some story sung by bards. It can be seen that these two people must not be able to rub any sparks together.

The splash is even less likely to grind out.

In fact, Nadia thought that perhaps Miss Tillise and Miss Aina, who was always smiling all day, would be better suited to deal with the eldest lady than herself. But it's a pity that both of them seem to be very busy, and they don't usually show up much, and besides, this is a task given to him by James, so even if there is any dissatisfaction, Nadia has to pinch her nose and admit it -- in terms of patience, the paladin is still a little talented.

However, as a well-bred eldest lady, Acelyn did not embarrass Nadia, except for one thing that made Nadia very irritated - that is, the other party would always pester her and ask her to say something about James. For example, who is James, why did you join this group of mobs, what is your relationship with him, what is he usually doing, what do you think of James, he looks so handsome, I don't know if there is a sweetheart.........

Although in Acelyn's opinion, this is just a routine secret conversation between a pair of good sisters, there is nothing special about it. When she was at home before, she and other noble ladies mostly talked about these things, such as the young and handsome young master of the so-and-so family, or the heir of the so-and-so family who hunted a few foxes and wild ducks while hunting, such boring things they could sometimes talk about all afternoon, and for Acelin, this was almost commonplace.

But the problem is that Nadia is not a nobleman, she is a paladin!

For this kind of thing like commenting on a man behind her back, she has never done it when she is so big! Not to mention......... Still that nasty guy!

That's right, now Nadia has completely designated Jenn as a "nasty guy", and in her opinion, it was that guy who had nothing to do with Acelyn to make the noble lady think about him now. If it weren't for James smiling at her at the beginning to bewitch Aceline, how could this eldest lady keep talking about him all the time?

It's all James' fault!

"I still can't believe these people are a mob."

With a steaming cup of tea in her hand, Acelyn looked out the window at the militia who were training under the leadership of a veteran. After the First Battle of Fort Reed, these civilians finally realized the importance of militarized training, and began rigorous training under the leadership of veterans, who have to admit that although these militias have a very poor foundation. But their determination is quite strong. After this time, they have been in shape. Coupled with a series of battles, they have gradually shown the tacit understanding and discipline of regular army soldiers.

Glancing out the window, the soldiers were there. Acelyn withdrew her gaze, and then she blinked, looking at Nadia who was sitting next to her.

"Miss Nadia, why are these people rioting?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦ This is not a riot. ”

Nadia shook her head helplessly, she had heard this question many times in Acelin, but even Nadia herself didn't know how to explain it to the other party. In fact, even she herself can't say clearly, maybe this is the reason why Nadia still has doubts in her heart, so she doesn't know what to say in the face of Acelin's naΓ―ve inquiry. In the heart of this simple aristocratic lady. Good people should obediently obey the orders of the nobles and do things for them, so that they can be worthy of praise. Those who do not obey the rule and start a rebellion are certainly bad people, mobs, bad guys.

Don't look at Acelin's idea is simpler, and in fact, this is the idea of almost all the nobles on the Klein Continent, and those who obey them are good and can stay. He who resists them is bad. should be exterminated.

As for Nadia, Aceline's simple thoughts are really difficult to explain, so she doesn't know what to say. It was the same this time, hearing Acelyn bring up the topic again. Nadia felt her head start to hurt.

At this moment, Jenn's voice came from the side.

"It's not a riot, Miss Acelin."

"Mr. James."

Hear Jenn's sir. Acelyn immediately turned around and smiled. Like a light bird, it ran to Jenn's side. Looking at this scene, Nadia snorted coldly in dissatisfaction. But she also put away the book in her hand and followed Acelyn over, she also wanted to hear how this nasty creature was going to explain all this to herself with an incorruptible tongue.

"Hello, Miss Acelin."

Facing Aceline, Jenn first saluted her respectfully, and then stretched out his hand and shook Nadia behind her. Seeing this, Nadia suddenly burst out of dissatisfaction and anger in her heart -- she was so respectful to this eldest lady, and waved her hand so casually to herself, what did he want!

"Mr. James, are you saying this is not a riot?"

But Acelyn was still thinking about it, or rather, the longer she stayed here, the more strange it became. After all, these "mobs" are too far from what they imagined and what they rumored to be.

"That's right, if I had to say it, I'd rather call it an uprising, or a revolt."

As he spoke, Jenn smiled and raised his hand to invite the two to sit down, and then he himself sat down in the chair on the other side.

"As for the reason......... Quite simply, in order to survive. ”

"Live?"

Hearing this answer, Aislin's eyes widened in surprise, for a pampered eldest lady like her, it was a very natural thing to live. It's as if a person never thinks about how important air is when he breathes, and only when he suffocates does he think about how precious this ubiquitous thing is.

"That's right, live as if you......... Miss Acelyn, if you were caught by a necromancer and asked to make a choice, either be killed by him and become an undead, or be his slave and serve him wholeheartedly like those maids, which one would you choose? ”

"I ............"

Hearing Jenn's inquiry, Acelyn hesitated for a moment, and finally replied in a whisper.

"I......... I chose to be a maid ........."

"But you're reluctant."

Aislin didn't speak, but she nodded. It's no wonder that she is a pampered young lady, and when she grew up to be served by others, when did she serve others? In Aislin's mind, that's what only people can do, so how can she do it herself?

"So are we."

Seeing Aceline's expression, Jenn smiled slightly.

"We don't really want to start a rebellion, but the choice we have is either to live or to die. These are the things we have to do if we want to survive. Because if we don't, then we're going to die. You've been here for a while, do you think everyone here deserves to die? ”

Hearing Jenn's inquiry, Acelyn hurriedly shook her head, although these people behaved rudely, she didn't hate them, and naturally she didn't want them to die. Seeing Aceline's reaction, Jenn's smile softened.

"You see, it's that simple, we're here now to live. Miss Aislin, I will not use any high-sounding words to hide this, it is precisely because these people persecuted by the Soros family cannot survive, that they will rise up and resist. It's like facing that necromancer, if we don't resist, then the only end is to be killed by them, right? ”

"But, but I didn't want you to die........."

Hearing this, Aislin also hurriedly opened her mouth to justify. Jenn shrugged his shoulders.

"Of course I know that, Miss Acelin, but unfortunately you also know very well that you can't take charge of the affairs of the Soros family. In fact, it is the Soros family who are now forcing us to resist, such as Mr. Dogant........."

Hearing the name, Acelyn's expression was a little complicated. The girl is not a fool, and after waking up, she thought back and forth for a while, and most likely thought that she had been sold by her uncle. But Ethlin couldn't understand why, as her uncle, Dogante sold her niece to a necromancer. You know, they don't have a deep hatred for each other, and Acelyn and Doante don't have anything to do with each other, so why would he do this?

It's that simple?

Looking at Aceline's thoughtful expression, Nadia felt like she just wanted to die headbutt. You must know that in order to explain this matter to Aislin, she told the other party a lot of truths, including the doctrine of the True Eye, that as a paladin, she should punish evil and promote good, and protect the weak, etc., etc., etc., but every time she finished speaking, Aislin had almost no effect except for looking at her in confusion. And this flattering guy just said a few words, and he moved Aceline?

"Hoohoo Hoo ........."

Sitting on the top of the tower not far away, Aina shook her legs playfully, looking at the scene below, with a playful smile on her face. She tilted her head, then looked at Tilise beside her.

"The master is still the same rhetoric, guess how long it will take them to fall?"

"If the master uses my power, then I'm afraid that noble lady won't be able to support it for long."

At this, Tilis frowned, then looked at Nadia.

"But Miss Paladin is hard to say."

"Yes, you're also a priest anyway, so you naturally know that the priests are a bunch of stubborn guys, but this has nothing to do with us, the more companions, the better it is for us, isn't it?"

As she spoke, Aina covered her mouth and chuckled softly, then narrowed her eyes and looked up.

"Looks like the show is about to come out........." (To be continued......
