Chapter 2 Jotun?
"Do you know why I have stayed to serve the evil queen all these years? That's because I believe that one day, you will take back your kingdom! That woman made people believe that you are autistic and can't live without this castle, but
We all know that you have the ability to rule this country..." The fat cook didn't wait for Bella to answer, looked around, and took out a brown bundle from under the stove.
The linen was opened layer by layer, and a dagger with a cold light appeared in front of Bella. The fat cook said: "This is what His Majesty the King left for you, please be sure to keep it!"
Did you give me a dagger because you wanted me to assassinate the queen alone? The girl didn't think that she, an untrained person, was capable of this.
Her original intention has not changed, no matter what you say, it will be useless, I have to run! But the dagger is also a self-defense weapon, you can get it first...
The leather sheath was inlaid with three gems, and the handle was tightly wrapped with golden silk thread. The girl held the handle and didn't know much about the use of cold weapons, but she knew that the dagger felt very comfortable in the hand.
The blade was more than 20 centimeters long and was sharpened on both sides. There was a cold light in the blood groove. She swung it twice like chopping vegetables.
"It's really good! Not bad!" She didn't know how to praise it. She could speak the language of this unfamiliar area, but her vocabulary was very small. She searched her guts and couldn't think of any good words. She praised her words sincerely, and then asked herself
issue concerned.
“How big is our country?”
"I see snow-capped mountains in the distance. What is the place outside the mountains? Does it have a name?"
"If I ask for help, are there any powerful people in the kingdom who can help me?"
It's a pity that from the country's geographical location, to the national population, and even to the current time and era, the fat cook has no clue about Bella's questions...
I don’t know what year, time or place it is now. The fat cook is more ignorant than Bella and is more like a time traveler...
This world does not seem to value culture. To say it does not value culture is to some extent a compliment. According to the fat cook, he has served in the castle for twenty years. Counting from Bella’s father’s time, there are many people in this castle.
It seems that there is no such thing as a 'book'.
The current background is not the Middle Ages, right?
Bella was very confused. She didn't dare to run around without exact information.
Pretending to be happy, she took the food left specially for her by the fat cook.
People have good intentions, but it's inappropriate to show off their face.
The queen doesn't care about her life or death. She is hungry and full every day without nutritional supplements. No matter how beautiful she is, it will be useless. If the fat cook hadn't given Bella extra meals from time to time, in a hundred years, her
His appearance is no threat to the queen.
A plate of lentils, an egg fried in fat, and a stewed young pigeon.
In order to maintain her beauty, the queen had to eat a lot of food only by smelling it. Now it's all cheaper for Bella.
The fat cook saw that she was devouring her food, and handed Bella two more rye breads left in the kitchen.
"Thank you!" The rye bread was dry, astringent, gluten-free, and tasted extremely bad. But in order to replenish her strength, she still swallowed it with difficulty with the little bit of sauce.
In the next few days, whenever she had free time, Bella studied the various furnishings in the castle and thought about the places that she could use. A rope or a torch could keep her thinking for a long time. Many common things in the castle were very important to her.
It's all new things.
In my spare time, I sneaked into the kitchen and listened to the fat cook telling all kinds of gossip stories, from the queen's terrifying magic to the grudges and grudges between soldiers and servants. Eating was my main job, waiting for news about books, and secretly observing the patrols of soldiers.
Routes are secondary work.
It is impossible to salt fish. As a modern person, magic is too far away from her and too unbelievable. It is a complete blind spot of knowledge. The queen's magic cannot be estimated using the knowledge of previous lives, just like
It was a sharp sword hanging in her heart, always urging her to work harder and harder.
The fat cook's work was very heavy, but she still worked hard and found the book that Bella desperately needed!
The first impression I had when I saw the book was very bad. It was in tatters and crumbs would fall out when I shook it off. The girl was really impressed by the level of civilization in this country.
There is no printing technology. The two books are more like two notebooks. The handwriting is messy and the pages are covered with dirt.
"Maybe the evil woman has a book?" You could see the reluctance in the girl's expression, and the fat cook came up with another idea for her.
You don’t need to tell me this, I know it! The only literate person in this castle full of illiterate people is probably the queen!
Bella smiled and thanked the fat cook for her help, and then ran back to her room in three steps. She didn't want to go to the Queen's room to look for books unless she had to. The risk was too high.
After more than ten days of arduous reading, Bella finally finished reading the two notebooks.
This is not to say that the content of the notes is profound, but because of her limited literacy.
He lost his parents when he was seven years old, so the level of education of his predecessor can be imagined.
Fortunately, she had some basic knowledge, and she could speak the language here. With this literacy class graduation level, she struggled to finish reading two notebooks.
One of the notebooks is of little use and is filled with trivia about the family life, while the other notebook contains relatively more information.
"The queen comes from the north, which is a country covered by ice and snow? The west is a dark forest full of evil magic? Beyond the snow-capped mountains is a wider world of ice?" Bella read this passage several times, and she was a little confused.
.
The notes record that this continent is a world of ice, and it is also mentioned that there is a group of extraterrestrial humanoids driving rainbows who call this continent "Jotun". Ancient documents believe that these extraterrestrial humanoids are the people of gold.
The Jotuns on our side are the people of silver.
Bella knew about the Yodles, but she had no idea about the Yotuns. The people of gold and people of silver sounded very high-end, but in fact, in her opinion, they had no meaning at all.
The country where Bella is located is located in the easternmost part of the continent, where the temperature is relatively the highest and the most suitable for living.
The ice and snow country in the north can be said to be the queen's natal home. She did not dare to go there. The dark forest, as the name suggests, is not a good place for birds and flowers. After repeated weighings, she had to make a difficult decision!
Instead of going to the wilderness to survive, wandering, and eventually being eaten by wild beasts, it's better to fight!
She is not strong enough to kill people like crazy once she travels through time, but the chance that the opponent will kill her is as high as 90%. Is there any way to survive if she doesn't fight hard?
There is no internet in the castle, as is true in novels, but there is no internet in the wilderness either! At least there is food, drink, and servants in the castle, but there are probably only wolves in the wilderness! Even if this is a world covered by ice and snow, as a king, she can survive
In the end, she just wants to live now.
Fight!
Bella has been practicing thrusting for several days. She has no idea how strong the queen's magic is. According to her imaginative estimation, if she faces the queen directly, if the distance between the two sides is five meters, the chance of winning is 50%.
Meter, the chance of winning is reduced by 10%. If it is ten meters away, she can consider designing a handsome death pose for herself.
