Princess' personal painter

The old man who seemed to be in good spirits looked at a few people, sized them up for a while, and then said: "There has been no visitor in this village for a long time, what's the matter?"

Showing the badge indicating Ruobin's official identity, Wenjiesi directly cut to the point: "We are investigating something. Has anyone from outside arrived in this village recently?"

"Outsiders?" The village chief narrowed his eyes, and after thinking for a while, he laughed at himself, "There are young people leaving the village all the time...You mean outsiders? Who would come to this dilapidated place? ?”

The three looked at each other, and this time Irene asked: "What if it is someone who left the village for a while and then came back again? Is there anyone in this situation?"

The village chief shook his head: "No."

Unwilling to give up, Erin asked again, "Has anything strange happened in the village recently?"

The village chief then shook his head, and took another deep look at her: "Little girl, what are you doing asking about these things?"

After confirming that the inquiry was fruitless, the three had no choice but to leave.

After walking a distance, Wenjiesi whispered, "This village chief has a problem."

Irene was slightly taken aback, closed her eyes and recalled the behavior of the village chief just now, and suddenly came to her senses: "He is lying!" She stopped, turned her head and said to the two people beside her, "It seems that I have already scared the snake... However, it may be possible to lure the snake out of the hole. Let's go back and see the situation!"

So, the three of them turned back quietly and quietly observed the actions of the village chief nearby.

As expected, the village chief walked out of the house not long after.When he went out, he observed the surrounding environment deliberately, and walked along a small path into the woods in a hurry.

The three of them kept a distance from being noticed, and quietly followed the village chief.

Not long after, he walked to a small wooden house in a secluded location, looked back again, reached out to knock on the door, and walked into the house.

"Sure enough, there is a problem." Irene's eyes showed excitement.

"Let's stay here first, and wait until someone comes out and confirms the discovery of the target, and then notify Her Royal Highness." Wenjiesi's performance was as calm as ever.

"Just call me when you want to do something." Although she also participated in the action, Jacqueline didn't seem to be very interested in it, and she always looked indifferent.

The village chief entered the house, obviously to inform the people inside. After only a few minutes, Irene saw a short "beastman" follow the village chief out of the house.

The moment I saw the "beastman", Irene felt amazed.

This is a little girl about twelve or thirteen years old. She has white hair just below her waist, an innocent and innocent face, icy skin and snow skin that looks like a human being, but she has a pair of fox-like ears.

Fox girl!Good, so cute...

Erin stared blankly at "her", and almost forgot what to do after connecting.

But seeing the little fox girl with a nervous expression on her face, she said something to the village chief, and looked around, as if waiting for something.

"No...it's her, right?" Wenjiesi beside him showed doubts.

Of course, although I didn't expect this orc girl to be so cute...

Although she hesitated for a moment when she saw the target, Irene still whispered: "For such a young orc, judging by her performance, there are likely to be other companions. Let's wait for the others first." Let’s take action if your target appears!”

"Huh? Beastman?" Seeing Jacqueline staring there, she asked, "Is it some kind of blindfold?"

Eh, what do you mean?It seems that I am the only one who can see that this is a fox girl?

After being in a daze for a short time, Irene quickly realized the reason.

Whether it's the auxiliary effect of the "Whispers of Vercetti" accessory, or her own magic type, they all have the ability to see through reality and ignore the influence of illusion.After repeated trials with Sisyana, Irene confirmed the fact that only the most top-notch illusions have the possibility of "deceiving" her.

Obviously, a layer of illusion has been applied to this fox girl, and she looks like a little human girl in the eyes of others, and only Irene can see her true face at a glance.

Therefore, Wentiers and Jacqueline would naturally have doubts about this.

Irene figured it out, and said in a low voice, "In terms of species, it should be the fox clan... Speaking of which, don't the fox clan have a natural ability to disguise?"

As soon as the words fell, the little fox lady over there seemed to have sensed something, and looked towards the direction where the few people were hiding.Irene was stunned for a moment, and met her eyes from a distance of tens of meters.

Spotting Irene's figure, the little fox girl's expression became confused.

At this moment, an unknown breath suddenly passed over.

"careful!"

"There are enemies!"

Irene and Windies spoke almost at the same time.

The lingering wind hit from behind, and Irene subconsciously pulled Jacqueline to the side to avoid it.She only felt a flash in front of her eyes, and Wenjiesi beside her had already drawn her sword.

There were several "bang bang" explosions in the ear, and in the blink of an eye, Wenjiesi had already had a round of fighting with the visitor.

As if he had discovered Wenjiesi's difficulty, the visitor did not continue to entangle with him, but immediately jumped to the side of the little fox girl not far away, said something, then picked her up and fled into the forest.

The accident happened so suddenly, and before Eileen could see the image of the other party clearly, she stared blankly at the long fiery red hair fluttering and disappeared from sight.

"Don't even think about leaving." Wenjiesi quickly raised his sword and chased after him.

Seeing the man's skill just now, Erin realized that she couldn't intervene in the next battle.

With the appearance of the target, Sisyana and Eunika, who felt the response, together with the three of Wenjiesi, had a short but fierce battle with each other at the edge of the village. The sound of booming was endless, and the fireworks produced during the confrontation rose above the forest.

Erin and Jacqueline waited in place for a while.

Not long after, the battle seemed to have stopped, and Sisyana landed in front of Irene, facing her inquiring gaze, and said with a dignified expression: "The opponents are very powerful, let them escape."

Before Irene could speak, Sisyana continued: "I marked the other party just now, and Eunika and I will chase after him, so you stay here and wait... However, if the sun rises tomorrow... We haven't come back yet, so you go and join Brother Wang first."

Eh?Split up?

Realizing that she has become a burden, Eileen pursed her lips quietly, and replied: "Well, I see."

Before leaving, Sisyana told the two of them: "Wengies will act together with you, by the way, let's inquire about the information about those two just now...Sister Irene, Miss Jacqueline, I am not here In any case, please put your own safety first.”

Chapter 34 Cause and effect and the incoming orcs

In this way, Sisyana and Eunika, a pair of masters and servants who cooperated tacitly, went to chase the target, while the remaining three, Irene, Jacquiline, and Wentiers, stayed in the village for the time being.

A few minutes later, the three confronted the nervous village chief again, only to hear Wenjiesi ask in a serious tone: "Your Excellency, can you explain to me what happened to the two who escaped just now?"

"Who are you?" The old man stared at him with vigilant eyes.

"Didn't you explain your identity just now?" Wenjiesi showed the knight badge belonging to the Wang family again, and said coldly, "We are an investigation team sent by the military. We heard that there are orcs infested in this area, so we came here to investigate I hope you can cooperate with the investigation."

"Orcs... Orcs again?" The village chief repeated, and suddenly said in a deep voice, "Did you misunderstand something? How could they be that kind of monsters?"

The atmosphere was a little stagnant for a while, and Irene took a step forward, and said softly: "What are their identities, we still need to use the facts to determine in the end, we will not casually wrong good people. But now, we need to know about them before we can make a decision." Judgment, please tell the old man, okay?"

It is obviously more effective to have Irene, who looks petite and cute in casual clothes, negotiate with Wenjiesi in knight clothes.The village chief's face softened, and he said slowly: "They are very kind, they can't be bad people, and they never caused trouble during the time they stayed in the village."

"Bah, they attacked us just now." But Jacqueline whispered from the side, "If you don't have a ghost in your heart, why run away... The old guy refused to say, he must have received some benefits, right? Or because of disrespect for the old, I have taken a fancy to the beauty of others, and maybe I want the old cow to eat young grass..."

When Eileen realized that something was wrong and wanted to put her hand on Jacqueline's mouth, it was already a step too late.

Jacqueline tactfully took a small step back, and abruptly finished her words. Then, under Irene's dissatisfied stare, she turned her head slightly and added in a low voice: "I'm sure I'm right. Bar?"

The scene fell into extreme embarrassment for a moment.

Even if you are right, don't talk nonsense!Erin was a little bit crazy inside.

Fortunately, although the negotiation process was interrupted by Jacqueline, the village chief who was finally persuaded by Irene didn't care much about it, and told his experience of meeting those two——

More than a month ago, the village chief who was traveling to and from the town was attacked by wild wolves on the road in the forest. Just when he thought he was about to die at the wolf's claws, a red-haired woman rescued him.To express his gratitude, he invites the red-haired woman and her sister to visit the village.In the ensuing exchange, he learned that the sisters had taken refuge from a distant country and were currently avoiding hunting and looking for a place to hide.

At the same time, the young sister contracted a chronic disease, and it was inconvenient to travel long distances, so she urgently needed to find a quiet place to recuperate.

In order to repay the savior, he agreed to let the sisters hide in the village.

Although he used the authority of the village chief, there were indeed many rumors about the two sisters in the first period of time.

However, after the two of them lived in the village, they have never caused any trouble. At the same time, the elder sister of the two also offered to help the villagers a lot and received a lot of praise. Lianai, the two soon fully integrated into this closed village.

This is also the reason why Lawrence's team was concealed by the villagers when they passed by the village for routine inquiries some time ago, and they did not find out the existence of the two sisters.

This is all the information I learned from the village head.

After this, several people discussed and quickly analyzed several key pieces of information——

Although the pair of sisters are likely to be orcs, as the village chief said, they really don't seem to be hostile to humans; Regarding the intelligence of the orcs, these two are probably not the same group of orcs who clashed with the search team.

In other words, the target of another group of orcs is very likely to be the pair of sisters.

Being able to let the orc chasers come across the sea and set foot on Ruolin's land at the risk of their own lives, the identities of the sisters do not seem to be that simple.

Especially the white-haired fox sister, Eileen recalled now, vaguely recalled that she seemed to have a special aura.

Suffering from a chronic illness?No wonder it looks so sick...

Thinking that Sisyana and Eunika were hunting down the pair of sisters, Erin couldn't help feeling a little worried.

We have to wait until my sister brings them back, so there shouldn't be any problems, right?

After waiting until dusk, Sisyana and Eunika still hadn't returned, and the three of them wandered around the village casually.During this time, Irene kept asking questions to Wenjiesi, but actually learned a lot about orcs.

There is no consensus on the origin of the various orc races.

The most common idea is that orcs are "hybrids" between humans and beasts, but from a common sense point of view, this statement is the most absurd; the church believes that the orcs evolved from self-willed and depraved humans, cursed by the gods However, in the liberal school, moderate scholars have concluded through research that the orc tribe is likely to be the descendants of the ancient gods in the legend.

Although it is difficult to verify now, the orc race has always been a barbaric and tyrannical existence in the human mind.In the history of the coexistence of various races on the mainland in ancient times, the conflict between the orcs and humans was the most intense among all the alien races. It was the continuous invasion of the orcs that prompted humans to launch a war to expel the alien races, making humans become the continent after the war. The sole owner of the mainland.

Therefore, between humans and orcs, there is almost a kind of hatred that is integrated into the blood, and this kind of hatred is not so easy to break.However, the pair of sisters used some means to conceal their identities, and they were obviously recognized by the villagers in this village. Judging from this incident, even the rumored terrifying orcs are not necessarily hostile to humans.

The princess...what would my sis think?

Just when Irene was a little distracted, she suddenly heard a shrill scream not far away.

Obviously something happened, the three of them reacted immediately, and rushed to the place where the sound came out, only to see a villager struggling to retreat on the ground, pointing not far away with a frightened expression, saying intermittently: "That, that Beside...there is a monster, the monster eats people..."

Looking in the direction he pointed, Irene's face suddenly became serious.

Three tall, obviously not human-like figures were slowly walking down the hillside.

One of the "people" was holding a bloody body in his thick arm, and it was gnawing in his mouth while walking. The picture looked extremely horrifying.

Chapter 35 The Witch's Battle Awareness

"This, is this the orc?" Looking forward, Jacqueline's face turned pale, and even her voice trembled, "It seems to be really eating people..."

As she spoke, she subconsciously moved closer to Irene, as if she was so frightened that she was about to cry.

Erin whispered, "Those three guys... are walking this way."

"I'll stop them." Wenjiesi drew out his long sword, stepped forward, and said with a stern face, "The opponent is very dangerous. Please step back, two ladies."

The speaker had no intention of listening, and Irene bit her lip and said, "When necessary, I will also participate in the battle...Jacqueline too."
