Chapter 3283 The Trial of the Big Fool (Eighty-six)
Chapter 3283 The Trial of the Great Fool (86)
"Shh!" Before Elaine shouted, Edmund quickly covered Elaine's mouth: "Don't be so loud, Your Highness. The sound insulation of this wall is not as good as you think."
"Well..." Elaine calmed down a little: "Why are you here? How on earth did you know that I am in Greenland?"
"I heard from your entourage that your destination is Atlantis."
"But, but you arrived earlier than us??"
Elaine still remembers that Edmund used the transformation technique to pretend to be Danglars, the Lord of Montpellier, and covered Elaine and others' escape. In other words, when Elaine and the others left Montpellier by boat, Edmund was still there. In that city known for its slave trade, Elaine rushed to Greenland almost non-stop. Although there was a slight pause in the middle, it didn't take too long.
Even if Edmund knew Elaine's destination, how could he have arrived in Greenland before Elaine and still be waiting for them in this village?
"I transformed into a dragon and flew all the way here without stopping."
"Oh." Elaine was stunned: "Oh, dragon beast..."
It’s really all-powerful, dragon beast.
If he turned into that kind of big monster and flew non-stop, he would reach Greenland within a day or two. Elaine would also have to stop at Rabuel, the city that never sleeps, and still deal with the matter in Edinburgh, Great Britain. As for the chores, the itinerary was naturally behind Edmund's direct flight to Greenland.
"I originally just wanted to find a place to stay in this snowy field and see the situation clearly. Unexpectedly, the village chief was out hunting and attacked me without any explanation. In order to protect myself, I could only defeat him. Then I Transform into his appearance and sneak into the village."
It's really omnipotent, with the ability to transform.
"Unfortunately, in order to transform into a Viking village leader, I had to give up the transformation of a dragon beast. Although I also thought about going out to hunt and collect blood samples of powerful monsters such as dragon beasts for future transformation. But I don’t know when His Highness the Prince and his entourage will arrive, and I can’t leave the village for fear of missing the meeting with you.”
So he has been waiting for Elaine in this village.
That's right. If you want to go to Atlantis, you usually need to stay in this village and then borrow a boat to cross the sea. If he stayed here deliberately, he would definitely meet Elaine and his party.
However, Elaine already had his own battleship, cavalry and other vehicles, so he no longer needed to rely on the power of this exile village. He almost left the people in this village and went to Atlantis on his own... Then I missed it perfectly with Edmund.
If it weren't for Pele, they would have almost missed Edmund.
Elaine turned to look at the little fox in disbelief. It was Bailey who suggested that he come to the village to say hello. He seemed to have expected something.
"Everyone, please sit down." Edmund began to pour tea on the stone coffee table. The hot tea that had just been boiled was steaming out: "Everyone, please drink some hot drinks first to warm up your body."
Bailey sat down on the stone chair without ceremony. The chair covered with soft animal skin was actually quite comfortable. Then he took a sip of black tea.
"Well, it tastes terrible," the little fox complained.
(You are really rude...) A drop of sweat broke out on Elaine's forehead.
"Haha, I'm sorry, it's the rough tea of the Vikings. I can't find any good supplies in this ice and snow wasteland."
In fact, it is because it is difficult for black tea to ferment smoothly at low temperatures. If the tea is not completely fermented, it will become a bit astringent. The tea leaves seem to be made from local materials, a plant that grows in the polar regions and is similar to the tea tree but not the tea tree. Brown color
They are all light blue and have a slightly strange taste.
Edmund brought a small jar of honey to Bailey: "This is honey brewed by ice bees. This is the only one that is the most delicious on the snowfield. Drinking this can also protect you from the cold, so drink more."
Highly transparent, slightly icy blue honey is added to the tea.
"Oh, this elegant and refreshing taste. The unpleasant tea suddenly became the best." The fox boy said, wagging his tail.
"Really? It would be great if you like it." The blood lion looked at Bailey with a smile. At this time, Bailey naturally used illusions to transform into a lion-man boy. To anyone's eyes, he looked shrunken.
The version of Elaine is almost like Elaine’s son.
"By the way, this kid is...your child, His Highness?" Edmund then asked.
"No, no, his father is Leo..." Elaine also sat down to drink tea.
"...The son of His Highness the Prince?" the young blood lion said in shock: "Thank God! The bloodline of the royal family has not been cut off!"
"Yes, you can say..." Elaine took a sip of tea. Sure enough, the tea with ice honey was exceptionally delicious. The astringency of the original rough black tea was completely neutralized, replaced by a sweet and refreshing taste.
"And these are the entourage of His Highness the Prince." The Blood Lion glanced at Queeg and Daniel who had just sat down: "Well, there are more entourage. His Highness the Prince's popularity is indeed very high."
"No, not a follower, but a friend." Elaine quickly corrected. It didn't matter to Queeg, that heartless fool, but Elaine had to worry about Daniel's feelings.
"I understand, I am a friend of His Highness the Prince. I'm sorry for saying something rude." Edmund bowed his head and apologized.
"Ah, it is indeed good tea...no, good honey." Daniel acted as if he didn't hear anything and turned to evaluate the honey.
"So, when will we set off?" Edmund also changed the topic and asked Elaine: "Are you planning to take the little prince to such a dangerous place?"
"Well..." This was a question about Elaine's difficulty. From the beginning, he planned to leave Bailey in Great Britain and come to challenge Atlantis himself. As a result, Bailey was unwilling and had to bring the little fox with him.
Greenland.
This should obviously be a journey towards destruction with almost no return. Anyone with some sense should know that they should not take the child with them. But Elaine just can't leave Bailey alone...
"I understand. Your Highness the Prince has to do this, right? That's it." Edmund did not pursue the question, "Since there is no way not to take the little prince with us, then we can only try our best to protect him."
"My name is Bailey, don't call me little prince. How embarrassing." The blue fox boy complained.
"Okay, Your Highness Bailey." Edmund replied with a kind smile.
"Don't add His Highness!"
"Okay, Your Highness Bailey."
"Ouch!" the little fox pouted in anger.
"Hahahahaha." Edmund laughed boldly.
Elaine silently observed Edmund. Vikings were very strong, and the Viking village chief was even more powerful. Edmund should have been thinner than the village chief when he returned to his original form, but in fact
He can still hold up the village chief's clothes, and the clothes are not particularly loose. In other words, Edmund is also very strong. Compared with the skinny blood lion Edmund he saw in Montpellier before, he is now
Edmund has obviously gained a lot of weight. It may be because he eats well, drinks well, and has sufficient nutrition that he becomes so strong.
"Yuan, where is the original village chief?" Elaine asked a little worriedly.
"Dead. He attacked me without any reason. At that time, I was still transforming into a dragon beast, and I accidentally slapped him to death." Edmund smiled bitterly: "Although he can possess the power of a dragon beast, he can't do it well."
An accident occurred while controlling the strength of that body. But don't worry, the body has been carefully hidden. It is impossible for the Vikings here to find the body of the village chief. Well...did I do something very bad, Your Highness?
?"
"No, no. You are just trying to protect yourself." Elaine replied. He had long known how rude and unreasonable the Viking exiles here were. It was precisely because he knew it from the beginning that he
He didn’t want to be associated with this group of exiles. The leader of the exiles attacked Edmund without any reason, and was then killed by Edmund. He deserved it.
"Mont, where is Danglars, Lord of Montpellier?" Elaine asked again, a little worried.
"I tied her up, gagged her, and locked her in the closet. Her men were separated and it took at least half a day to come back, and it would definitely take more time to find her hidden in the closet. I took advantage of this.
He slipped out during that time, then used the warmed dragon beast's blood to transform, and flew directly to Greenland."
"So, so she's not dead?"
"I didn't kill her. But she must have been furious afterwards and chased me all over the world. She couldn't have come to a place like this anyway." Edmund smiled and said, "Considering what she did to His Highness the Prince,
It's such a rude thing. I originally wanted to kill her. But after thinking about it, I thought it wasn't worth it. It would be bad if this murder case was related to His Highness, and it would affect His Highness's reputation."
Elaine breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's not talk about this. Let's set off when we are ready. You are going to Atlantis soon, right? To challenge that kind of dangerous maze, you should need a lot of supplies, right? I will give the village chief's
Evacuate all the belongings. Anyway, the village chief is dead, so he probably won’t mind us [borrowing] his property, hahaha.”
(Ah this...)
"Are you going with us?" Daniel asked, "You invited us to visit the village chief's house. Finally we left, but even the village chief was missing. Won't the Vikings come and cause trouble for us?"
"You're right...it's better for you to leave first. Then I found an excuse to leave the village, pretending to be the village chief and going out hunting in full armor. Then their village chief would disappear forever, perhaps by a powerful monster in the snowfield.
Kill." Edmund said: "What do you think of this plan, Your Highness?"
(Why do you need to ask me...)
"Yes, yes." Elaine replied awkwardly.
"Then let's do it like this." The blood lion took out a storage bag from the box on the side: "I will give you these healing potions and anti-cold medicines first. We will meet up in Atlantis later. Oh, by the way, there are also
There is this."
He took out a piece of thick white fur. The outer layer of the fur was scales, and the inner layer was covered with down. It was very luxurious. What kind of creature would have down growing inside its body instead of outside its body?
He put the fur on Bailey: "I'll give this to you, Your Highness Bailey. This is the wing skin of the Snow Dragon Beast, which can protect its wing membrane from freezing in the cold wind. There should be no better cold-proof performance in the world.
A better existence exists."
"Thank you, hehe." The little fox accepted the gift unceremoniously and folded it with his velvet shawl.
(Gift-givers and gift-receivers are both generous, and the gift obviously does not belong to the giver...)
Elaine drank up the tea and prepared to go out.
"I'm sorry, I don't have anything to give to Your Highness the Prince." Edmund added: "The weapons used by the Vikings are crude and heavy, and may not be suitable for His Highness the Prince to use. But this -"
He gave Elaine a golden ring: "This is the talisman treasured by the patriarch. I don't know what it is used for, but it must have some meaning. Let's give it to His Highness for personal protection."
"Okay, okay, thank you." Elaine accepted the gold ring, which was continuously emitting a little warmth. Because it can generate heat to prevent cold, Elaine thought it would be good to use it to keep warm, so she put it on
Thread the ring on a string and hang it on your chest like a necklace.
