Princess' personal painter

His posture is like a cheetah, and he is swift and nimble.

Between the sound of metal collisions, the bow blade in the girl's hand flipped lightly and nimbly, like sharp claws, she swung dozens of blades in an instant, and her exquisite moves forced the man in black to retreat several steps.Although the man in black was at a disadvantage in the brief confrontation, he still received all the attacks steadily, and his eyes became hot as he looked at Gina, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

Gina put the bow blade horizontally in front of her chest, shook her head and said, "Why don't you reveal your identity first?"

On the other side, taking advantage of Gina blocking the gap between the men in black, Porphyllili had already run to the girl at the corner of the alley and began to check her injuries.

After assessing the situation for a while, the man in black realized that today's "hunting" could not continue.I saw him staring at the combination of girls Gina and Porphyllili with special meaning: "I remembered, you are a combination of tulips and white roses that suddenly appeared from the snowy field a few months ago, if you plan to If you participate in this hunt, hehe, it will become more and more fun..."

After finishing speaking, the man in black jumped onto the high wall, and his figure disappeared.

After confirming that the situation was safe, Gina breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the side of Porfi Lili, who was trying to communicate with the injured girl.However, the girl seemed not to have heard Porfi Lily's voice, and her gaze stayed on Gina from beginning to end... When she saw Gina walking in front of her, she seemed to be finally discouraged. The sword fell to the ground with a bang, and he threw himself straight at Gina.

Gina hurriedly caught the girl who was falling towards her, and saw that the girl's cheek was almost buried between the two hills, and said silently with her mouth: "Thank you..."

Then the girl lost consciousness.

Gina was taken aback, and said in a panic, "You, are you okay?" Then she looked at Purfi Lily with pleading eyes: "Lily, help me to check her situation!"

Puffy Lili pursed her lips in dissatisfaction, but she and Gina checked the condition of the unconscious girl.After the examination, she said calmly: "Fortunately, the injury is not serious, and it will be fine after a little treatment. The reason why she fell into a coma may be because she was poisoned by a paralyzing agent, so she couldn't make a sound. , I guess I even lost my hearing just now."

After a pause, Pofei Lili glared at Gina with somewhat angry eyes: "Also, the most important thing now is...do you know her?"

"Hey, why is this the most important thing?"

Puffy Lily's attitude was unexpectedly tough: "You answer my question first!"

"She is a member of the Kiridi Mercenary Association. We just met yesterday. She kindly told me about the reward. She also told me that the president of the Mercenary Association plans to call volunteers to fight Those evil bounty hunters... this kind of thing happened, it seems that the situation of the Mercenary Association is not very good."

After quickly explaining the girl's information, and seeing that the wound on the girl's leg was still bleeding, Gina said anxiously, "Lily, we'll talk about these things later... Hurry up and help her heal!"

"That's it..."

Pofei Lili sighed with mixed feelings: "You told me in the morning that you didn't want to get involved in trouble or something, but now this kind of thing happened to me... Well, I'll help her bandage the wound first, and then we'll send her back The Mercenary Association. As for the following things, I can almost guess how it will develop."

So, when Porphyrili finished treating the girl's wounds and was carried by Gina and walked towards the Mercenary Association, there was still a weird atmosphere between the two of them.Finally, Gina said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Lily...Because, let me see this kind of thing with my own eyes, and I really can't just sit back and watch."

"The question you asked me this morning, I will ask you again now."

Puffy Lili said softly: "If the reward is for one of us, our intelligence will definitely be exposed if we participate in this matter, which is equivalent to throwing ourselves into the net. After all, the enemy's strength may far exceed ours. Nana, if something happens to one of us, what should the rest of us do?"

"Well, sorry... I don't know either."

Puffy Lily snorted dissatisfiedly: "Is this your answer?"

Gina took a deep breath: "However, I will try my best to protect you. Of course, I will also try my best to protect myself. After all, we are on the side of justice. This kind of thing will definitely not happen. Wrong... In short, don't worry, there will be absolutely no accidents!"

"This idiot-like line is really not convincing at all."

"If Lily doesn't agree, if she doesn't agree... Well, it seems that I can't help it. Then rest assured and wait for me to return from hunting down the bad guys. I'm sure I'll be fine!"

"...You really are an idiot!"

After a pause, Pofei Lili said in a helpless tone: "Forget it, since there are still [-] gold coins to look forward to, I will reluctantly agree to act with you. The money is even less, but who made us bound together from the beginning, if we were separated, we would really feel uncomfortable..."

"Hey hey, thank you Lily-chan for saying that."

"Stupid Nana, don't show me such a disgusting smile!"

Chapter 9 Mercenary Guild

"Nana, do you feel it? Someone is following us."

"Well, it's in the alley to the left."

"It's not dark yet, the other party should not dare to do anything on the street. Let's go faster."

There were very few pedestrians on the streets at dusk.Holding the unconscious girl in her arms, Gina rushed along the main road in the city towards the direction of the Mercenary Association, while Porfi Lili followed behind Gina, spreading her perception, ready to Situation immediately chanted preparations for magic.

After walking for a while, the guy following behind seemed to realize that he had been spotted, and after turning a corner, he headed in the opposite direction.Seeing this, Pofei Lili felt relieved a little, and focused on Gina in front of her again.

But I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, the little head of the girl who was hugged by the princess was almost buried in Gina's chest, rubbing against the valleys and peaks during the bumps.

Noticing this scene, Porfi Lily's expression darkened, she moved her lips, but she didn't know what to say, and stared at Gina in front of her with resentful eyes.

The inexplicable murderous intent from behind made Gina shudder: "Lily?"

"Hmph, don't get me wrong."

This jumpy dialogue made Gina fall into a confused situation: "Ehhh?"

In a slightly strange atmosphere, the two arrived at the resident of the Mercenary Association.From a distance, they saw a handsome young man waiting at the gate. When he noticed the girl in Gina's arms, he was stunned for a while, then eagerly came up to him, and asked anxiously: "Michelle, is she okay?"

The young man was thin, fair-skinned, and had a sickly aura about him.

But the gorgeous sleeve robe he wears and the sword emblem tattooed on his chest show that his identity is not ordinary.Gina looked at the obviously too young president of the mercenary association with some surprise, before saying: "Don't worry, I just passed out and there is no danger."

Pofei Lili also came over and explained aloud: "She seems to have been poisoned by a paralyzing poison. I don't know the composition of that poison, so I can't help her detoxify for the time being." Suddenly turned around: "Your guild seems to have provoked a formidable enemy?"

The young man was taken aback for a moment, before he said with a wry smile: "Because of my reckless decision, I caused public outrage."

Gina asked puzzledly, "Is everyone outraged?"

The young man said in a low voice: "The anger of the deep-rooted dark forces lurking in this city... the two ladies rescued Michelle, and I am really grateful. We can go into the room to discuss more information. "

After the boy put the kanban girl named Michelle on the bed and asked a doctor to treat her, he led Gina and Puffy Lily to the reception hall.There were five or six other men and women dressed as adventurers who had been waiting here for a while. When they saw Gina and Purfilili entering the room, these adventurers showed different expressions for a while.

The young man entertained the two to take their seats, and served tea to everyone in the hall himself. After being busy for a long time, he turned to Gina and Purfilily, and solemnly saluted: "I almost forgot to introduce myself, my name is Vera Suo Woodsbury, the current president of the Kirodee Mercenary Association, is deeply honored to meet the two young ladies 'Tulip' and 'White Rose' who have risen to fame like new stars recently...the two also rescued the pair. Michelle, who is very important to me, really doesn't know how to repay her."

"The words are so beautiful, it's better to give some real rewards."

Seeing that Pofei Lili complained without shame, she pulled the sleeve of Gina beside her, and asked in a low voice: "Hey... idiot Nana, when did we have such a strange nickname? have no idea?"

"I don't know. It seems that when I handed in a mission, I got such a nickname, and I used it after it sounded pleasing to the ear... Bai Qiangwei, it seems to match your temperament quite well."

"Can I understand this as complimenting me?"

Gina couldn't help being stunned for a moment when she came into contact with the eyes that seemed to be hiding a bit of expectation from Porfi Lily's gaze. She didn't know how to reply in such a public place.While I was in distress, I heard another contented voice coming from the side——

"The three ice sculptures at 110 blooming quietly on the hill are like white roses blooming on the ground. The aesthetics that hide extreme violence but are so elegant are fascinating. I was fortunate enough to appreciate it yesterday. I was shocked. The love is simply indescribable. Therefore, I have become Miss 'White Rose''s most loyal supporter, please accept this gift that represents my hottest heart."

As he said that, the young magician dressed as a troubadour approached leisurely, and congealed a pure white rose in his hand as if by magic, and bent over and handed it to Puffy Lily.

The white rose exuded a cold breath, and the chill hit her face. Feilili couldn't help but raised her head, looked at the young man who maintained an neither overbearing nor humble expression, and raised her eyebrows: "Is this provoking me? It's really interesting. Could it be that Do you want to experience what it's like to be an ice sculpture?"

The young magician showed an embarrassed expression for a moment, and hurriedly said haha: "Misunderstanding, Miss Bai Qiangwei's character is really straightforward..." As he spoke, the white rose in his hand turned into a white mist and dissipated, bowing He introduced himself: "Roy the troubadour, a gold-ranked mercenary, please give me your advice."

"Hahaha, this Roy is very slippery, and he likes to mess around with women everywhere. Seeing how beautiful the two ladies are, he must have moved his mind. You just need to be wary of him."

The person who got up to speak was a bearded man with a typical northern appearance. A sharp giant ax was tied to his back, and his momentum was quite terrifying.I saw him looking at Gina and Porfi Lili with meaningful eyes, and then said: "My name is Pigou, nicknamed 'The Executioner', and I was the executioner in Sigholm three years ago... two Annihilating the bandit group that has been causing trouble near Kirody for seven or eight years in one go, this feat is really worthy of praise."

Pofei Lili snorted softly: "It's just that they don't have eyes, and they insisted on provoking us."

Pigou said: "A woman who kills decisively and possesses such courage is indeed very rare."

But another cold voice came: "Pigou, I can't pretend that I didn't hear this kind of Noyu's words."

As he said that, the enchanting woman sitting in the corner, with a veil on her face that could not tell her age, turned to Gina and Purfi Lili, and asked aloud: "Since you are here, it means that the two girls My sister also intends to take this muddy water and join us in fighting against the lackeys from Foga?"

Gina showed a puzzled expression: "Foga? That country in the north?"

"It seems that the two little sisters still don't know what incident they were involved in." The woman said, and turned to the young president who had been standing there awkwardly since just now, "Vera, do you want to get involved?" If they join the gang, hurry up and tell the known information."

"Cough cough..."

After being hung up for a long time, Vera Salisbury, the president, finally got a chance to speak.He sorted out his thoughts for a while, and then began to explain: "According to the information obtained so far, the real target of this exorbitant reward should be the famous fallen princess Yaniweier Xueluo. The cause of the incident is Let’s start with the prince of Foga Kingdom colluding with the sea monster to usurp the throne more than 40 years ago..."

Chapter 10 The Runaway Fallen Princess

Located in the northern part of the Skaros Peninsula, the Kingdom of Foga is covered by snow and ice all year round. It has always been ruled by the Xueluo family, far away from the political center of the mainland.Even during the height of the empire, the power of the Olysses family never extended to the ancient kingdom.

But 40 years ago, a famous incident happened in this mysterious country.

First, Yaniweier Xueluo, as a princess, was attacked by pirates when she went out to play at sea, and she disappeared, making the world think that she had died.Subsequently, the king at that time contracted a strange disease and died after lying in bed for several months.

However, just a week after Pei Nick took over the throne, a group of ministers united and issued a document proving that Pei Nick did not have royal blood, and wanted to depose the new "hypocrite" and set up a new royal family. The offshoot is the new king.No one knows the authenticity of that document so far, but what happened afterwards was beyond everyone's expectations.

On the day of the annual Ice and Snow Festival celebration, Pei Nick arbitrarily opened the sea valve of the capital, Adilian, and brought Foga Kingdom's mortal enemy, the Kraken, into the royal city.The turbulent Kraken army poured into Adilian, broke into the mansion of Pei Nick's opponents, and after killing all the ministers and nobles, they burned, killed and ransacked Adilian's city by the way. Japan just left.

To this day, the once prosperous and prosperous city of ice and snow, Adilian, still hasn't regained its vitality.

With this way of securing the throne, Pei Nick became the worst-rated king in the history of the Foga Kingdom. Even the most moderate historians did not hesitate to use words such as "cruel" and "ruthless" to evaluate him. .Correspondingly, retribution soon fell on him.

The little princess Yaniweier, who was missing in the past, led a group of apostles walking in the dark night, and stormed the royal city like thunder one night.After a fierce battle, Pei Nick was confirmed to have died at the hands of his former sister—of course, if, as shown in the document that finally disappeared, Pei Nick did not have the blood of the Xueluo family Well, he and Yaniweier naturally do not have a brother-sister relationship.

The truth has not been revealed to this day.

After Yaniweier killed Pei Nick, she disappeared from the public's sight again, but another shocking fact was also spread along with the eyewitness's narration—that is, this lovely little girl from the past Her Royal Highness, has become a vampire with bat bone wings and living on blood.

For a long time, blood races have been monster-like existences in the eyes of the world.

Therefore, even if the cruel and innocent king is punished, the world has a lot of speculation about Yaniweier's death in her early years. It is obviously difficult for the little princess who has become a vampire to gain the understanding and sympathy of the world. , and there is no possibility of inheriting the throne.

"Fallen Princess Yaniweier... I always feel that this name..."

While listening to Vera Salisbury, the young president of the Mercenary Association, Gina unconsciously covered her aching heart for some reason, and asked in a low voice, "Since she disappeared after that?" In the eyes of everyone, why did he suddenly become the target of a reward?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone present showed strange expressions.This made Gina startled, and asked puzzledly: "What's the matter, did I say something strange?"

Roy, who called himself a troubadour, looked over and said, "Miss, have you ever heard of a magic that can completely change a person's face? Height, body shape, appearance, temperament... like It's like changing a body, all the characteristics have changed. Appeared in front of the world with another identity that is completely different from the past. From then on, only I know who I am in the world..."

Completely become another person...

A feeling of panic surged through her heart, Gina swallowed quietly, shook her head and said, "I don't really understand what you said..."

But Roy said, "Actually, we don't believe it either."

"Huh?" Gina was stunned.

"However, it seems that some other big figures believed it." Vera took the conversation, took a deep breath, and continued, "Sorry, please forgive me for not being able to provide the source of the information for the time being. However, I did get the 'reward' The real target is the fallen princess Yaniweier. At least it is certain that the mysterious person from the Kingdom of Foga is aware that the former fallen princess is currently living in the middle of Rilada and is in a weak state. This matter is very certain, so in order to ensure that she will not pose a threat to the current ruler, I did not hesitate to issue an extremely high reward to remove her."

After a pause, Vera nodded and said, "Yes, this is the source of this disturbance."

Pofei Lili turned her head to look at Gina who was in a daze, and asked aloud, "But, didn't you say earlier that the fallen princess has become a vampire, and she has rarely shown herself for decades?" ?"

Several other people present looked at each other, but it was the enchanting woman wearing a veil who smiled lightly and said: "You two little sisters really don't understand the recent situation at all... It's like this. A cult arose in the Kingdom of Canada that believed in the ancient god Loki. In the name of returning the world to its original nature, they instigated believers to offer blood as offerings and pursue pleasure in the dark... In short, the population of vampires suddenly began to grow on a large scale. activities, intending to support the fallen princess Yaniweier to seize the throne."

Pigou continued: "Although the Foga Kingdom is still facing the threat of the Danyar fleet, in comparison, those with power are obviously more inclined to give priority to resolving civil strife."

"If the Foga Kingdom is really ruled by a cult, the Holy See of Light will not sit idly by."

"...But, there seems to be some accident over there. The fallen princess who was embraced by the vampire population suddenly chose to leave at an important juncture and came to Rilada's side..."

As he said that, Vera showed a worried look on his face: "According to the latest information, the emerging cult has become a mess, and it is very likely that a large number of ancient god believers and vampires will come to Kirody in the near future." , the situation may become even more chaotic.”
