I was accidentally injured by God and I just want to be an ordinary person

In fact, the reason for the shipwreck was simply because the current there was turbulent and there were many protruding reefs, making it almost impossible for ordinary ships to pass safely. This was something Ella accidentally learned during her previous voyage.

"Ms. Lucia, I...I have a plan, I tell you!"

Tina stood up from her chair excitedly, causing her long blue hair to fly.

"Tina, do you have a solution?"

"Hmm, Hmm! As long as, as long as—"

"You don't have to get so excited."

She put her hand on Tina's shoulder and pushed her back into the chair. Perhaps Ella's action was regarded by the seabird as an attack on Tina. The seabird stretched out its slender neck towards Ella, preparing to peck Ella with its light yellow beak, but was discovered by Lotte who was standing behind. She hit the long beak with the back of a knife. The angry seabird immediately spread its wings and made a threatening gesture.

"No! This is my friend!"

Hearing Tina's words, the seabird retracted its wings awkwardly and stood back on Tina's arms after adjusting its posture.

"I'm so sorry, Lotte-sama."

"It's okay. I just saw it about to attack Miss Ella, so I intervened."

"Ahem, Tina, let's talk about the solution first."

Since Lucia seemed anxious, Ella got the topic back on track.

After apologizing to Ruthie somewhat embarrassedly, Tina spoke.

"Hmm... if we ask its friends... it should be fine, I guess."

"Friends? Will the other seabirds agree?"

"It said... as long as I'm given food every day and a safe place to stay, that's all that matters..."

As if to express its agreement, the seabird puffed out its chest and lightly flapped its wings, and everyone's eyes turned to Lucia.

"Well, if that's all, the patient's own contribution plus the temple's subsidy should be fine."

"Yes! I'll convey it to you!"

Lucia's words were conveyed to the seabird, which flapped its wings twice, saluted Tina, and flew out of the backyard.

Surprised by this fantastical scene, Lucia half covered her mouth and murmured softly.

"I didn't expect Miss Tina to have magic that allows her to communicate with animals. I've never heard of it before. It feels like I'm just listening to a story."

"Well, this is magic that Tina has been able to learn since she was a child. Others can't learn it even if they want to."

"That's true. I just need to learn healing magic."

After the priest finished counting the fruits and vegetables and delivered the equivalent in gold coins, large black shadows appeared in the sky. The sound of their wings stirring the air was like a strong wind, which made people feel scared.

Plop, plop.

In just a moment, birds with bright feathers such as white, gray, black, and even blue and red landed in the backyard. The originally spacious courtyard suddenly became crowded. Some birds that could not land could only stay on the roof or the surrounding walls. The unique sharp and thin voices of the birds resounded throughout the hotel like a band, and the screams drowned out the voices of people on the street outside, causing Ella to subconsciously cover her ears.

Not only that, the sudden appearance of the birds caused countless cries of surprise outside the street.

"Why are there so many seabirds on the island? Did the sea beasts' active season affect the birds?"

"Are they just ordinary seabirds? No, there's also 'Blue Stripe' and 'Fire Blaze'? Monsters you wouldn't normally see..."

"Hey, they seem to be holding onto something."

"Is that... a devil fruit?"

"What on earth is going on? It's like someone is controlling them!"

Shouts of panic, confusion, and fear began to appear outside. In order to quell the commotion, the two priests quickly ran out of the backyard. At the same time, the owner of the inn also appeared from the back door and was led aside by a nun to explain.

"Wow, so many! Are these all Tina's friends?"

“Ah, ah…”

The scene was so chaotic that even Tina couldn't react. When she realized that she was in trouble, the first seabird made a cry, which quieted down all the other seabirds.

After a full minute, Tina, who was at a loss, came to her senses and spoke hesitantly.

"Sir, everyone... put the fruit over there... and Lucia-sama will prepare the food later."

"Well, I've already asked the other priests to prepare the food. I didn't expect there would be so many devil fruits..."

Lucia looked at the purple tomatoes that had piled up into a small hill in the corner and were still growing. Surprise mixed with happiness gradually appeared on her face. Finally, she excitedly hugged Tina, who had a confused expression on her face. It must be said that Lucia's breasts were so destructive that if Tina hadn't subconsciously resisted, her entire head would have been buried in them.

"A person like me... and yet Lucia-sama..."

Perhaps because she had always been locked in a birdcage and had never been treated like this, Tina looked a little shy and confused, and spoke with inferiority.

But Lucia didn't let go, instead she hugged him even tighter.

"Thank you so much, Ms. Tina~"

"Yeah, if it weren't for Tina, those people would have become sick from lack of magic. Tina is actually a very useful person, so be more confident."

Ella smiled and stroked Tina's messy blue hair to comfort her.

Confusion and shyness gradually turned into joy. For the first time, Tina showed an unguarded smile and shouted in her unfluent language amid the chirping of seabirds.

"E-Ella-sama said so... I'm very happy, really!"

……

*Dragon Island branch "Brorrickz"

In the room where a statue of a person with a flaming arrow piercing his chest was placed, two men were whispering. Perhaps they had heard some explosive news, and the men who were listening began to tremble all over. It took them a while to regain their ability to speak.

"Ah... you actually showed up... Quick! Get me a boat ready! I'm going to the main island to find the princess!"

"But Lord Valais, it's the season when sea beasts are active!"

"It's okay. What about that ship? It's almost finished now, right? There's no need to wait. Its defense is enough for me to reach the main island. I must take the princess away from this Dragon Island that poses a threat to her!"

"Yes."

Noticing that Valai's eyes were red and he had fallen into a state of madness, his subordinates bowed deeply and left the room, starting to prepare for their plan.

Taking deep breaths, the merchant Valais smiled creepily and took down the bronze statue enshrined high up for the first and last time.

"After all these years of preparation, I finally...finally found you, Master Tina Maria Hack!"

Chapter 82: The Characters Who Appear

*创世纪6187年1月8日 下午13：02分 龙岛本岛『赫尔卡尔』

By the time Ella and her group resolved the devil fruit issue, it was already noon that day.

Now, the leader of the dragon clan, Dragon King Phoos, was thinking hard in the shaking carriage.

This has been the case since yesterday. To be more precise, since he learned that the Demon Queen had arrived at Dragon Island at a critical moment and had made meticulous responses, Fios has been in a dilemma.

The Demon Queen came to Dragon Island during the active period of sea beasts for two purposes. First, to wait for the Dragon Clan to ask the Demon Clan for help, so that the Demon Clan would have a legitimate reason to use force, and to show their strength to the mainland under the opportunity of the merger of the Eastern and Western Demon Clan, which symbolized the rise of the Demon Clan. This would not only highlight the Demon Clan itself, but also embody the titles of the current Demon Queen and the next Demon King into tangible objects. Finally, it would also allow the Dragon Clan people to feel close to the Demon Clan who saved them.

Secondly, they could use this opportunity to ask the dragon clan for resources. First, tariff reductions were a must, followed by mineral mining rights, such as water stones and light stones. It was common knowledge that the eastern part of the Western Demon Territory lacked water. With a large amount of water stones as a support for life, the corresponding economic development was possible. In addition, it was recently heard that the king of the Western Demon Territory would be relocated to the easternmost fortress city of "Kepa". With these water stones, a large part of the problem could be solved. Although there were recent reports that the environment around "Kepa" City had changed dramatically for unknown reasons, Fuos did not think that this change was a good development. At most, the desert area had become a little smaller.

Finally, the other party is likely to propose that in order to ensure the subsequent stability of Dragon Island, the Royal Guards should be stationed on Dragon Island as a garrison. This method of relying on external forces as a means of defense is almost the beginning of actively admitting that it is a vassal state of the other party. This is a proposal that Fuos will never agree to.

Thinking of this, Fios couldn't help but take a breath, and the posture of supporting his head with his hands suddenly changed to sitting upright.

Why would the Demon Queen choose to relocate the capital to Kepa, a fortress city with extremely poor living conditions and closest to the Dwarf Territory, the Kingdom of Barris, and the Bruzea Empire? Was it preparation for war?

No, that's unlikely. With the Holy Academy as a mediator, war is unlikely to break out.

As he breathed a sigh of relief, Fios gave a wry smile.

Although the Holy Academy possesses a strong fighting force, theoretically even rivaling the strongest nation of the God-Human race or the Human race, the Bruzea Empire, if a war were to break out, the Holy Academy would not provide much support to the invaded party.

The Supreme Sacred Academy itself is a place composed of elites from various countries. Once these people are involved in the interests of their own country, they will find various excuses to escape. Small-scale conflicts can still be settled, but once it involves the level of war or a multi-party melee, the Supreme Sacred Academy can only turn a blind eye.

So, the Demon Queen is planning to go to war with multiple parties?

If the Eastern Demons at the eastern end of the continent were included, it might be possible. After all, with the Executioner Camisia and the Great Sage Dean as their strongest fighting force, it is not incredible. However, at present, only the Western Demons have taken action. There has been no movement from the Eastern Demons, and there is no way to judge.

What a terrifying Demon Queen... She looks like a child, but her thoughts are so detailed that even I can't understand them. I wish there were people like her in the dragon clan.

Without pinning his hopes on himself, Fios knew very well that he was not suitable to be the leader of a race. He could only reach this point by relying on his strength, that is, relying on the support of level 55. He had long known that he was inferior to the leaders of other races in terms of wisdom and strategy. Fortunately, he had his younger brother, Wezhi, the manager of the branch island "Brorrickz", to assist him. Including his current behavior of heading to the Demon Girl's Inn, it was also the best choice obtained after discussing with Wezhi all night last night.

"But don't the Demon Queen and Ntarosviel from the other day look a little too similar? While they're different races and their voices are quite different, everything else, including their body shapes, is almost identical... Could they be sisters?"

Phoas frowned.

The Demon Queen was sealed by the One and Only God thousands of years ago. Up to now, her real age should be over 6,000 years old. The elven magic chanter Entalosfiel who stole the Seal of Original Sin is at least level 60, which is beyond the realm of heroes. However, the number of people who have reached level 60 on the continent can be counted on two hands. It is almost impossible to reach that level without a long lifespan.

I remember that during our conversation that day, she didn't deny what she said about being "an immortal like Camisia." Their faces are similar, their ages are close, and they appeared on Dragon Island at the same time. Perhaps Entalosviel and the Demon Queen are sisters.

However, the difference in race was a point of concern. Could it be that the Demon King and the Elves during the Demon God era had a hidden secret? Furthermore, the Demon Queen's unusual move of relocating the capital might have been due to the support of her sister, Entalosviel, which gave her such audacity. This would have made the conditions for simultaneously waging war against multiple factions more or less possible.

"Hmm—Anyway, let's just follow the plan for now."

After letting out a long sigh, Fios decided to keep this matter to himself - in order not to cause trouble for future dragons.

The carriage gradually slowed down and finally stopped.

"Your Majesty, we have arrived."

"Um."

After checking and confirming that there was nothing wrong with his appearance, Fios got off the carriage and, under the respectful gaze of the innkeeper, walked to the backyard filled with devil fruits - the seabirds had already left.

[Tsk, you don't want to leave for even a moment.]

Seeing Camisia standing behind Ella, Fios smacked his lips inwardly, then spoke to Ella with the softest smile possible.

"Mister Mistydin."

After she said this, the Demon Queen realized that she was panicked for a moment, but it was obvious that this was just a disguise to make her let down her guard. The ruler of a country could not show his weakness in front of others. This was an essential skill for being a royal.

"Ah, it's His Majesty Igrid."

"Well—Mister Mistin, you can just call me by my name."

After all, he came here to ask for something from the other party. If he continued to act like a Dragon King, the negotiations might not be able to begin.

"Eh? Since Yig—Feos-sama says so, please just call me Ella."

[What? They're actually using the abbreviation? Even if they're trying to show they're willing to negotiate, they don't have to go this far, right? What's the real meaning behind this?]

Beads of sweat appeared on Fios' forehead unconsciously.

But the conversation couldn't end just because he kept silent and thought. Fios adjusted his mindset slightly and glanced meaningfully at the priests behind him, including Lucia.

Camisia, understanding the look in Fios' eyes, gestured to Lucia and Tina for a treat.

"Priest Lucia, please go to the inn with Tina and rest. What happened just now must have taken a lot of energy."

"Well, then, the temple staff and I will take our leave, Miss Elelaya, Lord Phoebus."

After paying respects to Ella and Fios, Lucia took Tina and the others out of the backyard. At the same time, Fios's personal guards also set up security around the area and moved the table for conversation and the corresponding tea set into the yard.

Making an invitation gesture, Fios dragged out a wooden chair and sat on it first. An unknown liquid placed on the dark mahogany table was steaming.

Since the Demon Queen was still standing there, the maid dragged out a chair for her. After the Demon Queen sat down in a slightly stiff posture, the maid was the first to speak. Although it was very impolite and even presumptuous, Fuos did not feel unhappy. First of all, he was a casual person. Secondly, he could not say anything in such a situation where he needed help. Finally, since he was chosen as the Demon Queen's maid, if he did not have extremely high skills, no one would believe what he said.

In fact, Phos had no fault with the maid's entire behavior. Even if he searched in his own palace, he could not find many people who could match her.

A pleasant voice that was polite and intellectual was heard. This maid must be the agent specially prepared by the Demon Queen for this negotiation.

"Excuse my presumption, but may I ask what business has your Majesty Igrid had with my master?"

[Tsk, you're asking even though you already know the answer. Are you trying to make me understand my position in the negotiation?... Never mind. I just need to stick to the bottom line I agreed upon with Weizhi and prevent Dragon Island from suffering huge losses during this period of sea beast activity.]

Fios placed his hands on his knees, a trace of bitterness appearing on his serious face in his prime.

"Hmm—I don't like beating around the bush. Let me be frank. I'm here to seek help from Lady Elelaya on behalf of the entire dragon clan."

"Looking for help?"

The three people across the table each had three different reactions. Camisia's eyes turned golden, while the Demon Queen had an expression of surprise and confusion on her face. Seeing this, Fios expressed his dissatisfaction for the first time.

"You've already made it so clear, but you still have to pretend? The maid acting as your agent has a calm expression, as if she had already expected this."

But now is not the time to show dissatisfaction, so Foos leaned forward slightly and added further.

"Yes, I'm seeking help. Lady Elelaya should be aware of this recently. Dragon Island has entered a period of sea beast activity. According to past patterns, although the sea beast activity period lasts for three months, during the strongest mid-term, only two monsters of the rank of Midgard Serpent and Troll Octopus appear. However, this year, the Midgard Serpent's superior species, Jörmungandr, has already appeared. If this continues, the appearance of a giant dragon is inevitable. By then, Dragon Island will lose at least half of its population. To prevent this disaster, I would like to ask Lady Elelaya to provide assistance to the dragons."

After pulling out the information in one breath, Fios became nervous unconsciously. Fine beads of sweat produced by the evaporation of the summer heat gathered together and flowed down his angular face.
