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

"It's probably not such a coincidence... If it's the same Kumi, it would be a bit troublesome."

Although he had no intention of fearing Earl Wood and Prince Ha, it would certainly be better to reduce trouble if it could be avoided.

"Should we go tie up that prince now?"

"No, no... not yet at that stage."

Ella waved her hands quickly.

"If they really want to cause us trouble, let's make them suffer a little. Oh, and we can also ask about the rebellion. If the rebellion is led by the Harry Kingdom, the prince should know something."

"Is that so? I think it would be more direct to just catch him and beat him up before asking."

"That makes sense, but it's a bit too much."

Ella's words made Mitis stick out her tongue and make a face.

"Well, let's not talk about that annoying person anymore. Where are we going next?"

"Well."

Ella glanced at the terrain search. Now, Lotte, Iris and the others had already boarded the carriage and arrived at the outskirts of Bahanla Town. At the same time, Angelica and Jinghua, who had finished their worship, were also heading towards Lotte.

"Let's meet up with Lotte outside the city first. If we're heading to the southern Kingdom of Kumheim, we'll have to pass through Ide City."

"Yes, yes~ But it would be better if Ella didn't give the kukui to other people."

"I know."

With the experience of Mitis, he has decided not to let anyone taste the chocolate before it is completely processed.

While chatting casually, the two soon walked to the city gate. Just like in the morning, the gate was tightly closed. However, when Ella gave her name, the soldiers quickly opened the gate and let them pass. Their eyes were full of fear, as if the Lord of Minorino had instilled some bad knowledge into them. Of course, Ella was not idle enough to ask deliberately.

It is also worth mentioning that when leaving the city, some travelers outside the city wanted to force their way past Ella, but they were all blocked by the surrounding soldiers. The hierarchy was quite obvious.

"Where are Lotte and the others?"

Since flying near a town would be considered an intruder, Mitis did not fly into the air to check.

"It's on the southern slopes, but before that, we'd better retreat for a while. Earl Wood is here on patrol."

"That guy again."

Although Earl Wood himself did not say anything to Ella and Mitis, Mitis still disliked Earl Wood - his gaze was too annoying. Of course, from another perspective, it might be understandable. After all, most men would turn their heads for Mitis's figure, but Mitis really could not accept Earl Wood's gaze that gave people a sticky feeling.

"Well, since that guy and Prince Harry are sitting in the carriage anyway, we just need to pretend to be ordinary travelers."

"I hope it goes that smoothly."

About five minutes later, Earl Wood's team appeared in the sight of Ella and Mitis. At a glance, there were at least hundreds of people, which was a fairly large scale for a patrol.

"These people are here to capture the Kumi people, right?"

Mitis curled her lips. Most of the people brought by Earl Wood were soldiers wearing leather and metal armor, and even people dressed as magic casters could be seen.

"The witch said that the Kumi carrying Kukui seems to have escaped from the tunnel. If Earl Wood is targeting them, he will definitely miss."

"Don't expect these little guys to give up easily."

“That’s right…”

Prince Harry is more like a rogue than a prince, and I can totally imagine how furious he will be after he fails.

As the patrol team got closer, Ella and Mitis lowered their hoods. Unlike what Ella had initially seen from the terrain search, Earl Wood and Prince Harry had already stepped out of the carriage and were each mounted on a horse.

Just when Ella thought they would miss the patrol team, Prince Harry suddenly stopped, and the entire team stopped as well.

"Hey there, lift your hat!"

From a distance, Prince Harry, who was riding on a horse, pointed his sword at Mitis, signaling her to lift her hood. However, unlike when he saw Mitis last night, Prince Harry's eyes were now full of suspicion - because the physical characteristics of vampires were too obvious, Prince Harry easily thought of the person who attacked him last night.

Before Mitis could do so, Ella lowered her hood. Now Prince Harry and his guards had arrived in front of the two of them.

"We are travelers passing through here. What can I do for you?"

When Prince Harry saw Ella's appearance, he was stunned for a moment, then frowned, as if he did not recognize Ella's voice.

"Are you a noble?"

"No, I'm just an ordinary adventurer from the Demon Tribe. This is my contracted servant."

"I knew that adult demons could summon followers, but I didn't expect them to be able to summon vampires. You don't look like an adult at all, do you?"

"I'm an adult now."

"Really? Too bad you're not my type. Your average figure should suit Wood's taste. Are you interested in becoming a noble?"

Prince Harry, riding on his horse, extended his hand to Ella.

If I hadn't seen Prince Harry's true face last night, I would have been deceived by his friendly appearance. As Ella thought to herself, she smiled bitterly.

"While your proposal is attractive, my family and I prefer a free life."

"That's a shame. It's rare to see a woman as beautiful as you among commoners. Even those born into aristocracy can't compare to you. If you were more mature, I could still reserve a position for you as a princess. But it seems you don't have the potential."

After saying this, Prince Harry glanced at Ella's ordinary chest and shook his head regretfully.

【I'm really sorry that I don't have any potential. 】

If this were a comic, Ella would definitely have an anger mark on her head - it's worth mentioning that after wearing the Crown of Mistin, Ella doesn't have much breasts.

"Hehe, since we're having a pleasant chat, I won't let the guards take action. Have your followers lift their hoods. I'll have my soldiers use Judgment Magic to examine them. Although the visibility is not very good at the moment, her identity as a vampire reminds me of the person who attacked me last night."

Judgment magic is a magic presented in the form of questions and answers. All lies will be exposed before the judge's questions, which is very convenient when facing criminals. Of course, if mental defense magic is cast in advance, the judgment magic will be ineffective, so it cannot be used as a complete basis for conviction.

Ella lowered her head slightly in an embarrassed manner.

"My family member has burns on his face, which might scare you."

"Humph, I'm the third prince of the Harry Kingdom. How could I be frightened by a woman?"

"But……"

Ella couldn't help but feel extremely troubled. There was no mental magic defense in Mitis's defensive accessories, and it was absolutely impossible to hide from the judgment magic. Now, apart from letting Mitis take her away immediately, she had almost no other options - although she could use ice magic to freeze everyone, this was not the best choice after all.

Just as Ella was about to quietly grab Mitis's hand, a low, middle-aged man's voice suddenly came from behind Prince Harry.

"prince."

"Oh, Wood."

"What did you find?"

"Come here quickly, there's something you like here. I quite like this little guy, don't force it."

"Prince, you're joking. Would I do something like that?"

With a low voice, Earl Wood appeared from behind Prince Harry. Compared with Prince Harry's flamboyant personality, Earl Wood was a gloomy and chilling type. Just by being looked at, Ella felt goosebumps all over her body.

Seeing Ella, Earl Wood raised his eyebrows with interest.

"Miss, who are you?"

"I'm just an ordinary traveler from the demon tribe."

"You don't look like an ordinary person."

"It is truly an honor to be praised by an adult like you."

"Wood, quickly have your men use Judgment on that vampire. I suspect she was from last night."

Prince Harry waved his hand impatiently, and Wood gave Prince Harry a look that asked him to be patient. Although there was doubt in his eyes, Prince Harry still calmed down. It can be seen that Prince Harry trusts Earl Wood very much.

"Prince, let's get down to business first. If we delay your father's expectations, it would be putting the cart before the horse."

Earl of Wood's words made Prince Harry's eyes widen instantly and he slapped his forehead.

"Tsk, you actually forgot about the important matter, little one. For Wood's sake, I will not interrogate your family. I hope you can still have the good fortune of meeting me."

Without waiting for Ella to answer, Prince Harry looked anxious, whipped his horse, and led his army to the town of Bahanla in a hurry.

Chapter 26: Chloe's Tears

* On October 14, 6187, at 20:13, Earl of Wood

Unlike summer, the night comes very quickly after autumn. What was still daytime at eight o'clock is already dark here. Fortunately, after entering the Kingdom of Untermier, the plants in the wild have become much more lush, and the border is no longer bare, otherwise Ella and her group would definitely suffer from the invasion of wind and sand.

She twitched her nose slightly twice - there was a scent of grass in the breeze. Feeling the natural breath filling her whole body, Ella stretched lazily.

"Ah~ah, as expected, the countryside is more relaxing than the city."

It was two days after leaving Bahanla Town. Although she was supposed to pass through Ide City, Ella didn't want to live in the town anymore because of the atmosphere in the Kingdom of Untermier. Whether it was the slaves' self-recommendation or the treacherous character of the innkeeper, it always made her feel uncomfortable.

puff.

The sound of bubbles bursting from the boiling boiler in front of her immediately brought Ella's thoughts back to reality.

"Ahem, better not be distracted."

"What are you doing, Aira-chan?"

Iris asked as she walked out of the carriage. There were no entertainment activities in the suburbs at night, so everyone had gone to bed early. Ella and Ruthie were on duty now. As for why Iris couldn't fall asleep, it was probably because she usually went to bed too late and couldn't change it for the time being.

After throwing a piece of mithril to blend magic into the cauldron, Ella turned around.

"I'm trying to purify the magic core. I bought this book at the alchemy workshop, so I wanted to give it a try. But it seems that the effect is not very good."

Lower-level magic cores can indeed be upgraded to intermediate-level magic cores through purification, but the cost and the effect obtained are not worth doing so. To give an example, taking what Ella is doing now, purifying the upper-level tin magic core into a lower-level mithril magic core, it takes a full ten upper-level tin magic cores to refine a product equivalent to a lower-level mithril magic core.

Normally, one could directly purchase a Mithril Lower Grade Magic Core for the price of three White Iron Upper Grade Magic Cores, and there was no need for any refining. Furthermore, this did not include other alchemical materials needed for purification - the materials alone would cost around five silver coins. In short, it was a rather useless technology, and only countries like the Kingdoms, which had extremely strict control over low-grade magic cores, would use it.

"What's wrong?"

Sitting down next to Ella—the campsite was a rocky beach—Iris asked.

"Iris, do you know how to purify the magic core?"

"I know about it, but I only used it when I first learned alchemy. It consumes too many materials, so there's no need to use it. Are you thinking of improving this technique, Ella?"

"Eh? No, no, there's no way I'd do something that outrageous. I was just curious and wanted to try it."

Ella quickly waved her hands, saying that she had only been experimenting based on that special alchemy book and had never made any improvements.

Iris first looked at Ella in surprise, then sighed.

"Ella-chan always does unexpected things, so I subconsciously thought about that - how does it feel to be deceived?"

"Huh? What do you mean you were tricked?"

"Alchemy books, alchemists are cunning fellows. If they find out that Ella-chan is interested, they will definitely raise the price mercilessly."

Having said that, Iris reached out and took the Introduction to Alchemy in front of Ella, and flipped through it casually.

"How much did you sell it to Ella-chan? One gold coin? Or more?"

"Only one silver coin."

Unexpected by the answer, Elise shrugged.

"Really? That's surprisingly cheap! It seems that guy isn't a qualified alchemist. If it were me, I'd charge at least three gold coins."

"Iris isn't someone who's short of money, is she?"

"That's true, but don't look at me like that. The money I use now is all earned by myself, and it has nothing to do with the family. So if I can earn more, there's no reason to avoid it. Three gold coins is already an amount that ordinary people would hesitate for a long time before spending."

Iris supported her head with one hand and used a stick in the other to stir the flame under the boiler. Her quiet profile made Ella subconsciously look at her for a few more seconds.

Noticing Ella's gaze, Iris tilted her head.

"What's wrong?"

Ella immediately looked away embarrassedly, pretending nothing had happened.

"nothing."

"If you don't add flint, the temperature of the wood alone won't be enough."

“Ah, I, I get it!”

Because Iris quietly moved a distance towards Ella, when Ella raised her head, she saw Iris's beautiful face right in front of her. The extremely close distance made Ella panic for a moment, and she threw all the flints at hand into the fire.

flutter--

A light that seemed to blind the eyes.
