11. Fairy tales are all lies
Sean feels that he is suffering from a mental injury called "visual shock", and this damage is not immune to it, which is a mandatory injury.
Seeing Sean's obviously lost appearance, Cecilia couldn't help but chuckle: "Do you think that princesses are all young and beautiful beauties?" ”
"Not really." Sean thought for a moment before replying, "It's just that I always feel ...... Elven words......"
"In this world, where are there so many young and beautiful princesses, and it's not a fairy tale." Cecilia chuckled, "Even if you're a princess, you're not necessarily beautiful or talented. Of course, if you are neither beautiful nor talented, then this is a tragedy for a princess born into the royal family, because at least the former can also be used as a bargaining chip for political marriages, while the latter can increase the overall strength and influence of the royal family. ”
Listening to Cecilia's words, Sean fell silent.
Although the princess of the Snow Wind Tribe had a delicate face unique to the elf race, her size did exceed the standard of the elf race by too much. Of course, Sean doesn't have any thoughts or opinions about this princess, he just feels that after seeing this princess, some beautiful imaginations of fairy tales in his heart are indeed shattered by the cruelty of reality.
After listening to Cecilia's words, Sean also knew that fairy tales are just fairy tales after all, although those stories cannot be completely denied, but those stories are also beautified to a certain extent. And whether it is a princess or a prince, they are all ordinary people in their own race, and as long as they are ordinary people, there will always be ordinary or even incompetent, but because they are put on a layer of princess or prince skin, they will be beautified by outsiders through imagination, once they can't see this imaginary prince or princess. There are many negative emotional factors such as frustration, cheating, and even anger.
Perhaps for these princesses and princes, the nobility of birth has become their mental pressure.
"So for political reasons, very few princesses can have the so-called freedom, at most they can be a little willful in some things, which is already good. No matter how much my father spoiled me, the freedom I could have was still very limited......"
Sean's pupils shrank suddenly.
Cecilia is the princess of the Duchy of Rumbel, which has long been a secret in Sean's inner circle, but everyone thinks that he doesn't know the way. Although Sean speculated that Cecilia herself might have noticed some of it to a greater or lesser extent, it was just that some things were indeed like fig leafs, and if no one uncovered them, then many things would have been silent. No one is going to touch on the topic or the sensitivity.
But now that Cecilia said it herself, then the meaning is completely different, at least Sean knows that Cecilia is now truly untying the knot.
“…… When I first went to study at the Maggie Empire's Academy of Magic, my father arranged it for me, and I didn't have any ability to refuse. Cecilia's voice continued. However, even though she has a completely different mentality, Sean still enjoys listening to Cecilia talk about her past. "The situation in the principality at that time was a little complicated. My father sent me away on the one hand to ensure my safety, and on the other hand, as I said before, to improve the overall strength of the royal family. …… But now that I think about it, I should be lucky, at least I was able to go to the Maggie Imperial Academy of Magic, while my other sister, who was only a year older than me, had already been identified as a future husband. And since then, she has been constantly going to etiquette classes. ”
Sean listened quietly and didn't interject for the first time he had heard about the life and hardships of the royal family - both in this world and in the game. Of course, because of Cecilia's relationship. Sean naturally felt a little more sympathy for the princess of the Snow Wind Tribe, after all, the heavy pressure on the children of a royal family like this was by no means something that outsiders could imagine.
However, there are naturally pros and cons to pressure like this. Because of these heavy pressures, none of those who can eventually enter the list of royal heirs are real talents, even if they are not as good as the so-called geniuses, but at least among their peers, their peers, their peers, and even their clans, they are the best and most outstanding; As for those who can't bear this pressure, they usually choose to give up the fight for the so-called heir early, and become mediocre or even inactive ordinary people.
And in the face of pressure, there are also many ways to resist.
Some people will choose to overeat, and some people will choose to release their passions. Desire, some people will choose to kill people to vent their anger, and some people will choose to keep shopping.
Perhaps this princess from the Snow Wind tribe chose to overeat to release her stress. According to Sean's understanding, many delicacies in this world are rich in high-calorie food, after all, the daily exercise of the strong, the training of soldiers, etc., all need to consume a lot of physical energy and calories, if it is not rich in calories far beyond the earth's standards, then the food that needs to be consumed every day is likely to be several times to ten times that of the earth, so that this world has long fallen into a resource-poor situation, and it is impossible to say that a small principality has a population of more than 10 million.
The Miracle Continent has never been a vast and sparse world. The so-called barren land is only compared to those rich areas, like the Arctic ice field where the Northland barbarians live is said to be barren, the bigger reason is actually that the climate and environment there are relatively harsh, not suitable for planting to produce food, but it does not mean that there will be fewer resources that can be used as food, but there is a greater risk in collection.
In the same way, if a wild land can be called a paradise, how can it be a barren place? In particular, the areas occupied by the second- and third-class seats were already very fertile, not to mention the first-class tribes, and were therefore sufficient to feed the population of those tribes in terms of self-sufficiency. What's more, the closer the Savage Land is to the inner core area, the more active and common high-level demonic beasts will become, and the nutritional value they are rich in far exceeds that of other demonic beasts.
Therefore, in terms of high protein and high calorie intake, the wild land should be said to have more advantages than the human kingdom. It's just that the Savage Land is in a state of war all year round, and all kinds of training never stop for a moment, and the situation of the Savage Land is just a balance.
Through this. Sean could roughly tell that the princess of the Snow Wind Tribe should be a princess who relied on brain power. And under the premise of the same high-intensity standard, the calories consumed by the brain far exceed the physical consumption, so it is natural to consume more calories to supplement, so that under the conditions of long-term lack of exercise, it is also a matter of minutes to get fat.
With the elf's love for beauty, this princess of the Snow Wind Tribe can actually tolerate the deformation of her figure, which shows what kind of sacrifice she has made for her tribe. This made Sean have a deeper feeling for what Cecilia said just now, so looking at the princess in the center of the battlefield, there was also a completely different flavor at this time.
For Sean, whether it's the Breaking Wind Tribe or the Snow Wind Tribe. It's just a bridge for him to enter the Savage Lands in the future. Of course, even if he doesn't go through these two tribes, Sean himself has a plan to gain a foothold in the Wild Lands, and judging from the feedback information he has received so far, the progress in the Wild Lands is much smoother than his side of the Principality of Lane, but considering that he still needs the nobility of the Principality of Lane as a cover for himself. Therefore, he doesn't care much about suffering some losses in this country for the time being, otherwise how would he tolerate those nobles bouncing like clowns jumping in front of him?
A lot of things. From the moment he became a lord. He had to think more about the big picture. It's okay to be tempered and willful, but none of these can conflict with his ultimate goal, otherwise he will need to make appropriate choices before he can fully develop.
Looking at the slightly pale princess of the Snowwind Tribe, Sean glanced at Cecilia again, and then sighed slightly.
Both sides in the battlefield at this time. The battle seems to have reached its worst.
There were seven warriors from the Wind Breaker Tribe, but Sean hadn't seen the sword dancer he had fought before, so he guessed that there might be eight or more opponents. And the princess who is responsible for protecting the Snow Wind Tribe is only two people left at this time. One is obviously stronger, even if he is besieged by four or five people, he can hold on, of course, the wounds on his body are still inevitably increasing, this is obviously a defender; The other fell beside the princess, his face was very pale, and a wound was made on the side of his waist and abdomen that went straight to his chest, through which almost everyone could see the beating heart in the sternum.
Obviously, even if he doesn't shoot at this guy anymore, he won't live long.
Perhaps because of his secret travel, Sean didn't see more Snow Wind Tribe guards on the battlefield, but in addition to the person who was still holding on and the person who was about to die, there were probably three corpses on the ground that were obviously supposed to belong to the Snow Wind Tribe's guards, and five corpses that should be the pursuers of the Wind Breaking Tribe.
But what really surprised Sean was that he also saw a human corpse.
And Sean happened to know this human corpse.
Or rather, he had seen the corpse before.
The coachman who had almost run over the little girl outside the fortress the day before yesterday.
Sean remembers that the coachman got out of the carriage in a panic, and then he was visibly relieved to see that the little girl was safe and sound. It's just that for some reason, he didn't come forward to check in detail, but threw a small bag of coins as compensation, and then hurriedly re-drove the carriage away, Sean didn't think much about it at the time, and just thought that the owner of the carriage should really be in a hurry.
At this time, it seems that the master should be this princess. And since then, they had clearly known that they were being hunted down by the Breaker Tribe's assassins, and the rush at that time now seemed to be a sign of panic.
As for why he is still here not far from Tonys' Fortress today, Sean already has an answer in his heart.
Judging from the size of the carriage I saw yesterday, after stuffing this princess of the Snow Wind Tribe, she could barely cram one more person at most: judging from the current situation, it should be the Elven Clan defender who was still fighting at this time. So they must have spent the night in the inner city of Tonis Fortress last night, and the guard, who was seriously wounded at the moment, rushed over with three other people to join them, and then left as soon as the gates opened in the morning.
However, these people were eventually hunted down by assassins from the Windbreaker Tribe, and then started a series of battles, but unfortunately because of the lack of manpower. In the end, he was defeated by the assassins of the Wind Breaker Tribe. Of course, I'm afraid that even the Snow Wind Tribe didn't expect that the Breaking Wind Tribe would be so bloodless in order to kill this princess, just what Sean has seen now, there are already six gold-level powerhouses - at this time, there are still two gold-level powerhouses in the battlefield, and the remaining five are all high-level silver peaks.
On the side of the Snow Wind Tribe, at this time, only that defender is a high-ranking golden powerhouse, and the one who has been seriously injured and dying may also be the same, but now his appearance is meaningless or not. Therefore, it is only a matter of time before the princess of the Snowwind Tribe dies - or rather. It was already a foregone conclusion, as two men had bypassed the defender and were ready to attack the princess.
Although the defender tried his best to go over and help, it was a pity that he was entangled by two golden powerhouses and could not get out of it at all.
Probably, in the end, I could only watch the princess of the Snow Wind Tribe die.
For such an ending. Sean wasn't surprised at all.
Originally, in the game, this confrontation mission ended with the death of the princess. If it is really in terms of following the progress of history. Then this princess is actually a mortal person.
But in fact, Sean is actually a little confused.
Since the Breaking Wind Tribe dispatched six golden powerhouses, why don't they just use them all in one go, but instead arrange four golden powerhouses to stand guard outside? If all the six golden powerhouses had made a move, maybe this princess would have become a corpse eight hundred years ago, and how could she stay until now.
"Sean......" Cecilia tugged at Sean's sleeve.
Sean looked back at Cecilia. Looking at her gaze, which was obviously touched, Sean knew that Cecilia must have recalled his original life experience: if it hadn't been for that rainy night meeting, maybe the fate of him and Cecilia would be completely different now, right?
With a soft sigh, Sean's left hand tapped Cecilia's head. Then he stood up: "I know what to say." ”
The next moment, the zongzi druid was thrown out of the way by Sean.
A distance of more than thirty meters is not a problem at all for Sean and his arm strength. So by the time the elves of the Wind Breaking Tribe found out about the problem, the druid master was already very close to them, and in a panic, the two elves who walked towards the princess of the Snow Wind Tribe thought it was a secret weapon, and immediately attacked.
Sean couldn't resist avenging the poor druid master.
These two elves are also sword dancer rank systems, so although the two of them are in a hurry at this time, they are fast and ruthless when they come out with their swords. In just a few moments, with Sean's eyesight, he could see at least thirty swords swinging at that zongzi druid, although with the physique and ability of that druid master, it was not enough to completely kill him, but it was definitely enough to seriously injure him.
Sean didn't want the druid master to regain his strength and then turn into an ironback to trouble them.
After successfully blocking the two sword dancers, Sean also walked out of the battlefield with his sword in his hand. At this time, both sides on the battlefield chose to temporarily stop because of this sudden change, but the people of the Breaking Wind Tribe did not relax their vigilance because of this, but still formed an encirclement of the elven defender to prevent him from suddenly breaking through and leaving with the princess of the Snow Wind Tribe.
This is the advantage of the highland elves.
After believing in the goddess of hunting, the highland elves naturally have improved their combat skills to a certain extent, especially in terms of combat intuition and sensitivity to some battlefield situations, they have an advantage over other elven race types. But in the same way, they also have some degradation in the characteristics of other races, for example, in the forest environment, they can no longer have the same keen perception as before, so they also need to arrange for sentry personnel, and even when Sean is thirty meters away, they can't detect Sean at all.
This world is very fair, and everything has advantages and disadvantages.
When the two sword dancers finally realized that it was their own tribe's druid master who had been attacked by them just now, the two of them immediately exclaimed, and both the Wind Breaker Tribe and the Snow Wind Tribe were also surprised. It's just that after the surprise, the expressions of the two sides have become more distinct: the Breaking Wind Tribe looks like a great enemy, while the Snow Wind Tribe is happy.
At this time, no matter who comes here, as long as it is an enemy of the Breaking Wind Tribe, then it is the benefactor of their Snow Wind Tribe.
Then, everyone saw Sean walking out of the forest alone.
At this moment, because Sean took off his cloak, the elves present could naturally see the appearance of this young man.
His outfit was ordinary, nothing unusual, and even the costume on his body was just a common outfit for adventurers to wear for ease of movement, with almost no armor decoration. Only he held a long sword in his right hand, but just looking at the blade of the sword, it was impossible to see what was unique about this sword, and it was no different from the most common standard long sword in a blacksmith shop.
In this way, the people of the Snow Wind Tribe naturally felt a little disappointed.
However, the people of the Breaking Wind Tribe did not relax their vigilance because of this, and the look of vigilance on their faces became even more obvious.
This made Sean have to sigh lightly, the Highland Elves really deserved their reputation in terms of combat vigilance, which made him have no chance at all.
"Hurry up, human friend, it's none of your business." The flame of hope that the princess of the Snowwind Tribe had so hard to raise was extinguished at this moment, so she hurriedly spoke, hoping that innocent people would not be involved in the water as much as possible.
Unlike Sean's imagination, although the princess of the Snow Wind Tribe is a little beyond her imagination, her voice is still quite beautiful. Especially her heart is not bad, because Sean can clearly feel the sincerity in her words, not hypocritical polite words or some trap, but really wants to avoid being drawn into this battle.
"It's fine." Sean chuckled, his smile full of confidence. (To be continued......)
