Chapter 2443 (?) Enemies meet on a narrow road
The weather in Neverwinter City was very good today, the sun was shining brightly in the sky, and people were all smiling at a certain naughty little girl who was wandering aimlessly on the street, and said hello flatteringly.
Especially the merchants in Neverwinter City who run taverns and restaurants, it seems they all want the Queen of Neverwinter, who is famous for spending money, to come and sit in their small shops?
But it's a pity that the bad little girl seems to have no regard for the food they sell, and she doesn't pay attention to them.
"..."

She carried her little bear and walked straight across the street humming cheerful songs, making the merchants behind her sigh with regret.

soon!
The swaying Annie jumped all the way across the majestic Flying Dragon Bridge across the Neverwinter River, and then came to the towering outer walls and gates of Neverwinter City. Then the Neverwinter guards guarding the gate were slightly panicked.
Under the salute and gaze, he ran straight to the increasingly prosperous and lively dock area.
In view of the fact that the treacherous, greedy and extortionate Forge has fallen, and the other Lord Neverember, who has always been strict, had to run away with his cronies and buckets because he could not afford the high 'ransom' after waking up.
After the new Queen of Neverwinter came to power and implemented various new policies of low taxes and high welfare, Neverwinter naturally began to attract the caravans and fleets of Fine Iron City, Mirabar from the north.
Even various rare metals and minerals that originally flowed to Luskan began to converge to Neverwinter City and used it as a new transfer station and distribution center?
Ever since!
Under the policy of 'doing nothing' (don't lack money, don't make money) of a certain annoying little girl, Neverwinter City and Neverwinter City Port quickly became prosperous, and vaguely surpassed Waterdeep City.
and Baldur's Gate, becoming the largest port city in the Sword Coast region.
Of course, those are not important.
After all, for Annie, she is more concerned about whether Neverwinter City is prosperous, hot or lively. Of course, she still wants to know if there is anything weird and super delicious at the Fishing Wharf today?
For example, yesterday, she accidentally encountered a whale hunting ship. It was said that the other party caught a sub-adult 'cruising beluga' on the Whalebone Islands west of Waterdeep City.
Fortunately, I discovered that there was actually a small ball of fragrant, jelly-like fine whale gum inside the beluga?
At that time, those guys were doing a live auction for cutting, and the atmosphere was still very lively. After seeing it, Annie looked at it and found it funny, so she bought it at an absurdly high price, thinking of taking it back and trying to sell it to the maids.
Let's cook and eat.
But what surprised her was that it was surprisingly delicious even if it was steamed without any seasoning?
then!
Today she came again, and she went straight to the fresh fish pier to see if she could encounter similar delicious and strange things again.
"Eh?"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
However, after wandering around, Annie couldn't find the delicious, strange and interesting things she was looking for. Instead, she found an acquaintance.
Of course, it can also be said that I am not familiar with it?
Anyway, what she saw was that the young lady wearing armor, a cloak, and the so-called 'Lansander Holy Emblem' with the sun and the field on her chest was not from Nafandulin half a month ago.
At the bottom of the Lost Mine, who is the guy who is not commanding a large group of priests and paladins in the ruins of the hanging city of Dorumbud in the underground city to kill the 'Samat'?
"Hi~!"
ヾ(^▽^*)))
"Hello, little sister!"
(*)
So, since everyone had seen it and nothing happened, in line with the principle of looking for trouble and picking up random people to relieve their boredom, Anne naturally greeted them openly and said hello from a distance.
"!!"
"It's you?!"
"Evil! Accept the wrath and punishment of those who carry the Dawn!"
"You devil!!"
However, seeing that Anne actually dared to step forward, before the leading woman could say anything, the other two followers behind her changed their expressions, and then unsheathed their swords, ready to exact their own justice on Anne.
Judgment.
"!?"
"What are they doing?"
"have no idea……"
"Yes, are they assassins? Do they want to assassinate the queen?"
"No way?"
"Why not?"
"look!"
"The swords are all drawn!"
"Get away from them!"
"What are you afraid of?"
"Isn't our Neverwinter Queen very powerful?"
"You don't understand, it's because she's so powerful that you have to stay away!"
"hurry up!"
The behavior of the two of them was of course successful in making the sailors, merchants and some Neverwinter people who were buying seafood in the fish wharf feel very surprised and at the same time exclaimed and discussed staying away.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Likewise, the commotion in this place naturally caused several Neverwinter guards not far away to become alert and slowly move towards this side while holding down the hilts of their swords.
"!!"
At this time, the leading woman certainly saw the performance of the dozen Neverwinter guards not far away slowly approaching and pressing the hilts of their swords, and even the soldiers on the pier spire further away.
Actions, such as when they started to use crossbows and some heavy weapons to target the three of them, were also seen.
"stop!"
"Put your swords away!!"
Therefore, after pondering for a while, although she herself felt disgusted and resentful towards the devilish little girl in front of her, she still managed to remain calm and stretched out her hand to signal her two followers to put away their weapons and step aside.
.
"..."
At this time, a heavily armed captain of the Neverwinter Guard wearing that kind of shiny silver plate armor came over with a cold expression on the hilt of his sword and led several guards. Then, he looked at the three men with vigilance.
A woman looked at Anne hesitantly and confusedly and asked:
"Her Majesty the Queen!"
"What happened?"
"What do they want to do?"
Fortunately, the other party had an obvious badge on his body, so he knew he was the pastor of the Lord of the Dawn when he saw it from a distance. Otherwise, he would not have just brought a few people over and asked first at this moment.
You know, since that guy Fuch was arrested and Lord Neverember ran away with his cronies, and since the arrival of Queen Neverwinter, the salary of these originally hesitant and confused Neverwinter guards has been increased by three times, and the manpower has also been reduced.
It has tripled. Not only is the work easier, but the salary can still provide a lot of room for the family. Therefore, when he sees someone actually wanting to draw a sword against the Queen of Neverwinter whom they respect and love, he must be
It won't be allowed!
In fact, he didn't directly order the three people to be shot into hedgehogs from a distance just now because he was the priest of the Lord of the Dawn.
If it had been someone else, such as some unidentified guy, he would probably have directly ordered the arrest and imprisoned the person in Neverwinter City's prison. How would he have asked and given the other person a chance to explain?
"fine!"
(^▽^)
"People know them and just say hello, right?"
(゜▽^*)
Although she knew why the three of them reacted that way, Annie didn't want to explain. She just dealt with it casually and winked playfully at the young lady whose face was still cold, as if there was really nothing between them.
The same dissatisfaction.
