Transform into a fairy girl

In the raging fire, thick smoke billowed. From time to time, panicked serfs could be seen struggling painfully in the sea of ​​​​fire. Outside the manor, Lacacia's archers continued to shoot flaming arrows. Enter the manor.

Cries, screams, and the "whoosh" of burning fire were intertwined, lighting up the dark night sky.

This was the first time Ji Ran saw such a tragic scene. She felt very depressed and her breathing became heavy.

"These serfs are so pitiful. They are also innocent victims. Why don't you let them go?" Ji Ran looked at the serfs who were still struggling in the sea of ​​​​fire and asked with regret in his heart.

"This is what war is like, the people who get hurt are always the people." Walker, the dwarf on the side, said in a accustomed tone.

"Why are they starting a war? Isn't it good for each of us to live in our own world?" Ji Ran asked, looking at the dwarf.

"That's just the idea of ​​​​women and children. When one side of the world becomes powerful, the world will inevitably fall into war. If you want peace, you need to know how to check and balance each other. Once one side is too powerful, then the other side will be annexed. It will not change, war is the continuation of ideology, and powerful rights are like an invincible black hole that will not stop unless it swallows everything up." Walker, the dwarf, said while looking at the raging fire at the foot of the mountain.

"This guy seems to be a politician." Senfeng whispered to Ji Ran.

"Shh, don't talk about politics. It's a very sensitive topic." Ji Ran quickly and carefully reminded that although this was a different world and had nothing to do with the distant earth in her memory, Ji Ran still felt that, It is not safe to talk about politics in another world. Even if you bring up these two words accidentally, you feel that it will be very risky. The best way is to not mention it at all and just be a good baby, so as not to worry about it. You'll get into trouble.

The fire burned fiercely all night, and the flames were extinguished near noon the next day.

Lacassia's army entered the messy manor and took stock. Most of the people could not escape the fate of being burned to death. Hardman and his fat wife were also burned to death. They hugged each other tightly. Burnt into black charcoal, his death was very miserable.

The most tragic thing was the room where the serfs lived. When the fire broke out, Hardman ordered that the serfs were not allowed to leave the room. Therefore, the door of the room was locked. When the fire came, the serfs were unable to leave. There was nowhere to hide, but in the end they were burned alive together.

Pieces of charred corpses were piled on top of each other, and most of them were concentrated at the door.

Of the five serfs' rooms, only one was broken open by the angry serfs with a strong desire to survive. Some strong serfs escaped, but most of them were burned to death elsewhere.

Ji Ran looked at the manor in a mess and the tall stone walls that were burned black, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Hardman has worked hard to manage the manor for many years. He thought that as long as the walls of the manor were built high, he could avoid disaster. However, when the disaster really comes, no matter what method you use, it cannot be avoided. of.

Hardman died, and almost all the serfs were burned to death. The food, grass, and houses were all reduced to ashes.

Fortunately, the precious metals are still there. The gold in Hardman's treasure house is still there. Although the treasure chests have been blackened, the gold and silver utensils inside are still intact, especially the luminous cup, which is intact. No damage, no breakage.

Lacassia's soldiers carried the treasures out box by box, placed them in the open space in the yard, carefully loaded them into the carriage, and then took them away.

Ji Ran walked in the dilapidated manor. She could no longer identify where she was imprisoned. There were ruins everywhere and the wooden houses were burned to the ground.

"Aiyi, I don't like war, war is too cruel." Miliya said to Ji Ran.

"Well, war is too cruel, and I don't like war either." Ji Ran nodded and said in deep agreement.

"Ai Yi, since the human commander likes you so much, why don't you persuade him to give up the war? It would be great to stop this disaster in time before the war develops out of control," Miliya persuaded Ji Ran.

Ji Ran thought about it, but she wasn't very sure. She had only met Mordrake once, although Mordrake did have a good impression of her, especially since he paid a high price to hire a bounty hunter. It was indeed touching to come to save him, but after all, the two of them didn't know each other very well, and Ji Ran wasn't sure she could persuade him.

What's more, war is an act of the state and cannot be Mordrake's idea alone. If he abandons the interests of the country and stops the war, I'm afraid he will be punished.

"Aiyi, give it a try." Miliya persuaded again.

Ji Ran hesitated for a moment and nodded gently, "Okay, I'll give it a try. I hope it works."

In the afternoon, Ji Ran came to the military camp in a carriage and met Mordrake again.

At this time, Mordrake was in high spirits and seemed to be in a good mood.

"Aiyi, you came just in time. Look, this is our trophy. I have selected some beautiful jewelry for you. Come on, come over and try it." Mordrake said, putting on a jewelry box decorated with exquisite gems. The jewelry box was carried over and handed to Ji Ran.

Ji Ran took the jewelry box and felt that it was heavy inside. She placed the box on the table and opened it with the golden key. She saw that there were many layers inside, and each layer contained surprising and beautiful jewelry. There are diamond necklaces, rings inlaid with precious stones, exquisite and beautiful pearl earrings, silver bracelets, agate tiaras, and even exquisite hairpins made of gold and jade.

Obviously, this is not something that ordinary people can have, even small farmers like Hardman may not be able to have it.

"If you like it, I gave it to you." Mordrake said with a smile, and Rocky, who was following Ji Ran, immediately translated.

"Thank you, but this is something that was stolen. I can't take it." Ji Ran politely declined.

Hearing Ji Ran's refusal, Mordrake was surprised, "Why is this something that belongs to the defeated and should belong to the conqueror? This is an eternal truth on the continent. I defeated the lord here. Everything here, Everything should belong to me, I will give you what belongs to me, why not?"

"Thank you for your kindness. I know that this is your human rule, and I will not object. However, I really don't like these things. They once belonged to their owners, and they were preserved so well. It can be seen that their How much their owners cherish them, and how sad their owners must be if you take them away from them.

I would feel uneasy if I wore them. "Ji Ran explained to Mordrake.
