Chapter 703: Convergence
While Nora and the old mage were worried about the shadow of the catastrophe in front of them, Jenny and her party had successfully left the plague land and returned to the Elven Forest. Of course, before that, Jenny and Orphin also successfully met with Naga Priest and the others, and the two sides also communicated. And just as Jenny expected, at the same time as they were attacked, the Naga priest and his party, who were investigating by the lake, were also attacked by the forest. Of course, they don't have Jenny's skills, but fortunately, as the son of the goddess of water, the Naga priest still has some ability to save his life, so in a moment of crisis, they directly opened a portal in the water, and then escaped from the forest, thus saving their lives. Of course, at that time, they also saw the changes in the forest, and came to the same conclusion as Jenny - it was clear that the forest had acquired some degree of self-will, for some unknown reason. Not only that, but the Naga priests also found that the forest was gradually spreading in the direction of the plague, even devouring the areas that had died due to the plague. If it continues like this, I'm afraid the entire Elven Forest will assimilate with it.
This was also the conclusion that the Naga priest and the others had come to as they investigated while waiting for Jenny, and in fact they were not worried that Jenny and Orphin would die in the battle. After all, they have seen Jenny's skills along the way, and if nothing else, in terms of running ability, the unicorn that can freely cross the astral plane is much faster than them. After all, the Naga priest's divine gift is not something that can be used casually. Moreover, during the previous battle with the monsters, the pillar of fire released by Orphen had also exposed their location. Originally, the group was going to fly directly to join the two, but after being injured by Jenny, the forest showed an unusually terrifying aggressiveness. So in the end, they had to wait where they were. Luckily, it didn't take long for Jenny and Alphin to follow the magic cursor they had left behind. Then the two sides exchanged information about each other after converging, and decided to leave the place immediately. Return to the Elven Kingdom and report to the Elven Queen.
In this regard, Jenny also had to sigh that Nabelius's crooked building ability was really strong, originally everyone came out this time to find the root cause of the plague, but it turned out to be such a trouble, but everyone put the elimination of this revitalized forest in the first place. And considering the current expansion area of this forest, even if the elven queen really manages to eliminate this revitalized forest, I am afraid that it will require a lot of casualties for the elves to do so, and in this way, they will have no strength to continue tracking down the source of the plague.
As before, Nabelius didn't need to make a move, even without her even knowing it. Another action against her was turned on by the invisible hand of fate, completely deviating from the original path.
Jenny liked this, of course, and she didn't want the elves to be too stubborn, otherwise she wouldn't be able to meddle in them herself. After all, Nabelius's ability to manipulate fate is too strong, and he is not in the mood to accompany the elves to open up new dungeons. And what's worse is that if it continues like this, it is likely to affect his own plans. After all, Nabelius' abilities are passive, and he doesn't distinguish between friend and foe at all. If you open a new copy because you are too deeply implicated, it will be even more troublesome. That's one of the reasons why Jenny always stayed away from Nabelius, after all, this ability is terrifying.
And just when Jenny and the others returned to the Elven Country again, Irinster and her party, who had set off from the Holy Country of Seth, finally stepped into the border of the Elven Forest.
"Whew..............."
I yawned boredly. Patilina leaned back in the carriage, her hands behind her head and staring at the campfire in front of her. Not far from her, others were busy setting up camp. And looking at this scene, Patilina pursed her lips. Then he turned his head to look at Irnest, who was sitting beside him.
"Elinster, you're here to save the world? How do I think you look like you're going camping? ”
Hearing Patilina's complaints, Elneste also shook her head. In fact, it is no wonder that Patilina has such a statement. It's been five days since I left the White Tower. And in fact until now. The group had just stepped out of Seth's borders and entered the Elven Forest. Although it is said that the area of the Holy State is very large, it is also one of the reasons. But in Patilina's view, the biggest problem is that these so-called sons have wasted a lot of unnecessary time. To avoid a recurrence of something similar to the Black Sword Fortress. This time, Ellie also had to give up the policy of being light and simple, and chose to let the Paladins escort her. After all, what happened in the Black Sword Fortress has spread throughout Seth, which has further increased the anger of the people in Seth against Passus. If they were still watching the excitement after the failure of the Holy Kingdom's expedition to Passus, then the complete destruction of the Black Sword Fortress was something that happened within the Holy Kingdom. And the implication was widespread, and for a time many places began to criticize Passus, and even the Templar Order was quite complaining about it.
In this case, the Holy Maiden Ellie had to ask the Paladins to come out and protect them from Seth. She knew Patilina's temperament very well, and if anyone dared to make a big fuss in front of her, then the little guy would definitely beat her without saying a word. At that time, if she knocks to death a high-ranking official of the Holy Kingdom again, it will be really a big trouble.
"That's not true, Miss Patilina."
At this moment, a gentle voice came, and then a handsome and dashing paladin walked out of the side, and he first saluted Irest respectfully, and then looked at Pattilina.
"After all, the Holy Sons are noble, and there are many dangers in going to the Elven Country on this trip, so they naturally need our personal protection. Of course, I admit that some time was wasted on this, but Miss Irnest was in poor health........."
"The little guy's training plan is set by me, and it is not a problem to run over the mountain and cross the country with weights every day, so don't use this as an excuse."
Faced with Patilina's unbelieving answer, Milk couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, revealing a helpless wry smile.
As a high-ranking paladin in the Holy White Tower. Milk is still very confident in his charisma. He entered the White Tower at the age of five, first as a probationary priest. Then at the age of fifteen he received the rank of official priest. At the same time, Milk also began to practice as a paladin. And five years later he became a full-fledged paladin.
At that time, the Templar Order also valued this rising star, and there were even scenes of the archbishop and the chief paladin joining forces to grab people. And in the end, in order to fight evil, Milk chose to become a paladin. Since then, his strength has skyrocketed, and so far, he has become the first person worthy of the Grand Knight of the entire Holy White Tower, and almost everyone even believes that he will be the next Grand Knight Captain.
If there really is a prince charming in this world, then Milk is undoubtedly his incarnation. He was young and handsome, and he never had any scandals. It's as if he is a hero representative of people's ideals, and in front of outsiders, he is always humble and polite. He has never had an affair with any imperial noblewoman, nor has there been any bad rumors about him. On the contrary, people are competing to sing stories and legends about his heroic leadership of the paladins to encircle the evil and destroy the hateful monsters and cultists.
A young and brave. A handsome and dashing paladin with almost no shortcomings, coupled with his own noble background, it can be said that the girl who wants to marry him in the imperial capital is enough to line up and circle the entire imperial capital three times. Although Milk himself has never been complacent about this. But he is still full of confidence in his words and deeds.
That's why the Templar Order and Saint Ellie have Milk in charge of leading the team. After all, at the time of the Black Sword Fortress before. Ellie had discovered that her reputation as a saint was not as good as she had imagined. Or that the name of the saint is okay to convince others, but it is tougher. Clearly, a paladin is the better choice.
For this appointment, Milk naturally also regarded it as a rather honorable mission to carry out. And in fact. Along the way, he also tried his best to send people to protect several holy sons, and he did not relax at all.
It's just that the only thing that makes Milk feel a headache is the girl in front of him.
At first, Milk thought that Patilina had an opinion about him, but later he realized that the girl had the same attitude towards almost everyone. If you don't like it, she will mock it, and even Her Highness the Holy Maiden can only raise her hand in surrender in front of her. Not only that, but her attitude towards Elinster and Lindy also made Milk secretly frightened, and she really fought to the death when she got the opportunity. Moreover, it is beautifully said that "only when you learn to be beaten can you know how to beat people", and the weight of his attack makes everyone else break out in a cold sweat. Truth be told, there were a few times when Milk was really worried that Patilina would kill Irnest by mistake. It's no wonder, after all, Irnest is only a teenager now, although she eats and sleeps well after coming to the monastery, but unless a teenager is born obese, where can the little arms and legs withstand the toss?
Although Elinster and Lindy themselves have no complaints about this, Ellie is also responsible for treating the wounds of the two girls every day. But Milk still thinks that he should have a good talk with this Miss Pattilina, after all, this time they are going to the Elven Forest with a lot of stake, and a few Holy Sons are the most important, if something happens, it will be troublesome. But......... What seemed to be something that she had always been proud of was of no use to this young lady at all.
This is also a matter of course, Milk has no idea that Patilina is not a pure human in the first place, but a robot fused with machinery. As a being completely modified for combat, a chip was placed in Patilina's brain. This chip can suppress various negative emotions in the brain of its owner through a weak electric current. In this way, no matter how dangerous the battle may be, they will not be defeated by heavy casualties, let alone crushed by fear or despair. Not only that, but this chip also erases those "superfluous" emotions in their hearts. This means that the robot will never be able to betray the revolution for love or assist the enemy against its own people. Because there will be no love, let alone physical needs. If Jenn had used the same trick he had done to other women against Patilina, then Patilina wouldn't have felt anything but an itch. Therefore, it is even more impossible for her to have the feeling of a woman, so even if she pours ten kilograms of "computer accessories" into Patilina, it is no different from drinking plain water for her.
For Patilina, all she needs to do is follow the orders of her prefect (lord) and complete her mission. As for the rest, it was not in Pattilina's mind at all.
Because of this, Milk may be quite attractive in the eyes of other women, but in Patilina's eyes, the other party is no different from the Flood, Ghost-faced Beast, and corpse golems.
It's just a simple difference in appearance, that's all.
"Miss Patilina has a point, in fact we had to slow down before, and from tomorrow we will speed things up."
At this, Milk paused, then smiled and nodded to Patilina, then turned to leave. As for the smile that can fascinate thousands of girls, Patilina just looked at him expressionlessly, as if looking at a clown. It wasn't until Milk turned to walk away that she turned her head to look at Irnest and Lindy beside her.
"You've seen enough, this kind of little white face is nothing to look at, anyway, when you get to the battlefield, it's just the same scared fart, okay, pack up, I want you to set up the tent for me within fifteen minutes, and you are not allowed to use the ability." If I see any of you who dare to disobey, you will be unlucky!! ”
"Alas........."
Listening to Patilina's voice in the distance, Milk shook his head with a wry smile helplessly. And at this time, a figure appeared in front of him.
"You seem to have a headache, Milke, Paladin."
"Your Highness."
Seeing Ellie appearing in front of him, Milk also hurriedly turned around and saluted her respectfully, before raising his head and speaking.
"Truth be told, it's a bit of a headache, that Miss Pattilina......... Alas............"
"I had the same headache as you at first, but in fact, once you get used to it, you will find that Miss Patillina is still very measured."
Looking at Milk's headache, Ellie obviously felt the same way, and at the same time secretly glad that she had changed this position before leaving, otherwise it would definitely be herself who replaced Milk's sad face now. But now......... Dead friends do not die and poor people seem to be a universal truth.
Thinking of this, Ellie only mourned a little in her heart for Milk, and then immediately changed the topic.
"But, Paladin Milk, you're right, we have to speed up from tomorrow onwards."
"Oh?"
Hearing Ellie's words, Milk was stunned for a moment, and then his expression suddenly became serious.
"Your Highness, what do you mean ............"
"Miss Viconia just got a message........."
As she spoke, Ellie glanced at the elven ranger who was sitting on a branch not far away, and then said with a solemn expression.
"There's trouble over there in the Elven Country." (To be continued.) )
