A subjugated princess will never die a vagabond

Why?

From the perspective of interests, Cloris can't figure it out at all, and if this woman is said to be overflowing with the heart of the Virgin, then she shouldn't just give herself these promises.The girl attributed this to a momentary brain fever, and sooner or later, she will gradually forget it as time cools down.

But this does not prevent Cloris from giving Ilona recognition.Simple kindness, even if it is mixed with the stupid prejudice and arrogance cultivated by the education environment, Cloris will not exert evil thoughts.

Ilona had a mediocre short time in the correctional facility.Even though they were of humble origin, these human or half-orc cubs still maintained a pitiful innocence.The only bad thing was the unpalatable lunch, the thick paste she could barely swallow a spoonful of and couldn't swallow anymore, and Arista, the silver-haired elf who was determined to leave Faljar in the evening, of course It was a well-arranged itinerary, but it also reflected the psychological shadow left by the nun to a certain extent.

At night, the crow Wojty returned to the reformatory. When it saw Cloris reading by the window, it immediately croaked and screamed: "Little girl, where did you get this ring of the void?!"

"Huh?" Cloris closed the book, scratched her head blankly, spread her left thumb, and asked, "You mean this storage ring?"

"Who is so blind!"

"Alista!" Cloris replied confidently.

"Hey, little Lily's vision needs to be improved." Voyty stopped by the window, combing her feathers that were blown by the wind.

"What happened to the Ring of the Void?" Cloris asked.

"Each of the twelve rings created by the Void Apostle is the key to unlock a supreme wonder, oh, I have to spread the knowledge of wonders to you..."

"I've already done a preliminary understanding of this, so you go ahead and talk about it first."

Hearing what Cloris said, Wojti didn't ask the reason, and continued: "Every ring involves a part of the authority of the void. The apostle of the void made the prophecy of the disaster of the void even more distant times. He handed over the rings to the twelve disciples and twelve envoys for safekeeping, as long as all the rings are collected, the miracle left by His Majesty the Apostle can be opened, and any wish of those who step into the miracle can be fulfilled!"

"Where are you collecting dragon balls here?"

"What Dragon Ball? Is it a new cultural feature of your Manlo people? I haven't been there for many years."

"It's nothing...Arista called you a messenger, so there is a disciple who is co-custodian of the ring with you?"

"Unfortunately, my partner has been martyred and fallen in the disaster of the void, and his ring was lost in the incident. In the past 200 years, I have only collected one ring of a traitor, including the one in your hand, now there are two La! Where did you find it!"

Cloris had never seen Wojti so excited before, so she repeated the story and the 150 pounds: "Alista doesn't know about this money, so don't tell her."

The crow chuckled: "Thank you for your trust in me... I have been to the Great Dungeon of Yamat once. One of the ruins of ancient Yamat is actually an underground complex that combines a mausoleum, a large prison, and the old capital of Yamat. The urban system has now collapsed... Although you said that the ring was taken from the skeleton, those explorers can't believe what they said. Asilias and Olic would not lose the ring there for nothing, nor would they melt into it. As bones, they have the same pursuit as me, but..." Voyti thought for a while, and finally could only murmur repeatedly, "I have to go to the great dungeon of Amat. Sometime, we go to the lost kingdom, only you It is suitable to hold this ring to counteract its curse..."

"Curse?!" Cloris hurriedly took off the ring and threw it aside in fear.

"It's just to make the holder suffer misfortune. If it is held by an unrecognized demigod, maybe his miracle will be greeted by natural disasters inexplicably. As for ordinary people... There are too many ways to die," the crow jumped He jumped up and said, "That unlucky ghost may be due to the curse, or it may be a coincidence, but no matter what kind of disaster will happen to you, after all, your spiritual veins are born with the touch of the void, what about the ring of the void?" Cursing a darling of the void? Any holy artifact, evil tool, spectacle or even anomaly, the effect of the same curse on different people is different."

As soon as she finished speaking, Cloris hit her head with an unpacked book behind her back.

"Beloved?" Cloris screamed in pain.

"Accident, it's just an accident... Even if you are really cursed, it's only to the extent that you trip over a stone when you go out..."

The decayed bookshelves creaked and rattled, and even the shelves and books collapsed in an instant, and several thick classics were slapped on Cloris' back.

"I don't want this broken ring anymore! Why did you encounter such bad luck when you came here!"

"Maybe..." Wojty said incredulously, "Is it a little excited after sensing my arrival?" The crow immediately smiled, "Don't worry, little girl, I can't undo the above restrictions for now. , but if you can open up some containment space for it, it will be easier for you to hide your private money when the time comes, coo coo coo coo coo."

Woyty told Cloris that she did have a ritual to unlock the corresponding restriction, but she still needed materials, as well as a large amount of void source crystals to restore its nearly exhausted mysterious properties.

In short, it's asking for money, lots and lots of money.

Money can turn ghosts around, and demigods are not exempt from vulgarity—whether the spectacle will be built or not, and the maintenance fee will not be paid out. Those despondent demigods who rent the spectacle, if they don’t pay this month’s rent, they will wait to be wiped out. Bar!

This is a joke that Cloris made up temporarily, and the real situation is still unknown.

The method of opening the containment space that Wojti said is not complicated, it only needs to draw a magic circle with blood, and then drip the blood on the ring.There is a feeling of confessing the Lord with a drop of blood, but Cloris feels more that she and the ring have reached some kind of subtle, spiritual communication, and there is no affiliation with each other, but a tacit understanding has been improved through the magic circle and blood Spend.

The moment the contract took effect, Cloris immediately felt that her source power was drained by the ring of the void!

Cloris was terrified for a short time, and felt relieved when she found that the ring hadn't sucked her dry after the source power was exhausted.In addition, the touch of the void in the spiritual vein seems to have reached a tacit agreement with the ring, and it is about to move uncontrollably——

"Shh!"

The touch of the void, which was originally invisible and soft to the touch, suddenly shot out. Rows of bookshelves instantly broke and collapsed, and countless books were scattered all over the place.

"This is, uh, the Ring of the Void's reward for you." Seeing Cloris' complexion, Voyty came up to smooth things over, diverting the girl's mind with praise, "The power is not bad, the Touch of the Void can attach to all This mysterious characteristic has been strengthened, according to the strength of your source force, then that move can be used about three times a day."

27. Good night, good sister

Isn't the enhanced Void Touch powerful enough?For the current Cloris, it was simply too fierce.

but! Yes!

The fact that the Ring of the Void took away the source power on its own initiative made the girl very upset!

Wojty told Cloris that as long as she gradually got used to it and deepened her tacit understanding with the Ring of the Void, she would naturally be able to control these situations.

Even so, Cloris still held back her anger and let herself be smashed by the book, and even destroyed half of the library!After tidying up the library, Cloris immediately put on a crying face and took a thorn to Arista to apologize.

Knocking on the door of the dean's office, she found that Arista was not inside, so the girl had no choice but to go back to the dormitory. When she was thinking about how to avoid punishment, she saw Xia Xia with a heavy face on the stairs.

Xia Xia was a little absent-minded, walking away with a thick book in her arms, and even Cloris didn't catch her attention.

"Aren't you happy?" Cloris asked.

"Cloris?" Xia Xia raised her face belatedly and shook her head, "I'm not unhappy."

"What book is in your hand?" The girl squatted down and stroked the little guy's head with a soft voice.

"Voxford Dictionary..."

Cloris sighed sadly, she hugged the little guy from her armpit and asked softly, "Do you want to sleep with Cloris at night?"

"Hmm..." The frustrated response was like a kitten's sobbing.

Cloris's bedroom was narrow and dark, with only one small window for ventilation. When she looked into the distance at night, she couldn't see any scenery at all except the darkness.A small table, a small bed, a bucket, bookshelves, coat boxes and lockers are all the furnishings of this room.

If so, this is also the top-notch treatment in the correctional center except for a few adults.

Cloris usually spreads a thick black linen blanket and a few tattered old clothes on the ground, while Xia Xia breathes softly against the girl's delicate neck, listening to those dreamy stories and falling asleep, waiting for her to sleep. When she was in full swing, Cloris carried the little guy to a small bed covered with a cotton mattress.

In order to appease the little guy, even if Cloris only recovered [-]-[-]% of her drained power, she still had to perform a unique skill.

"Phantom" can create light, the principle is still the same, the void source force separates out the corresponding attributes, and creates images under the effect of the accompanying skills.

"Dum, thump, thump, thump, thump!"

"There is a voice!"

As soon as the opening music sounded, Xia Xia immediately clapped her hands.

This time, in order to save Yuanli, Cloris used all the cute pictures with large (color) blocks, and at the same time greatly reduced the resolution. Originally, a Yuanli could only play five seconds of the plot, but now it can broadcast More than 5 minutes out!

Of course, using Yuanli to create sound and necessary light and shadow special effects will still increase a lot of usage costs.

Cloris vaguely remembered watching a "movie" in her father's arms when she was a child, "Records of the Military Parade of the Manro Empire", but the equipment was rough and cumbersome, and the picture quality was really touching, far from being as fine as a superhuman.She used to think that some time traveler invented these things first, but now she feels that it is not necessarily——

Technology is one of the reasons why the great powers covet the ruins.

It is fun to teach, Cloris realizes that Xia Xia is a little precocious, so the story she intends to play is still about healing, while adding new elements so that Xia Xia can grow up strong and brave.

On the screen is an isolated island surrounded by the ocean, and the empty center of the island is like an abyss leading directly to the ground.The city of giant caverns is located here, with clusters of buildings row upon row, misty clouds blowing through the sun, dawn breaking, windmills standing tall and straight like knights, and the bottomless pits are mysterious, magnificent, and breathtaking.

Cloris uses "Phantom" to roughly tell the story of an orphanage-born girl with golden twin-tails who, by chance, decides to explore with a strange boy from a deep pit.

Xia Xia had her chin propped up, but when she saw Xing Chu, she happily rolled on the floor——

"The outside world is so bright! She wears such clean glass! His hands can grow so long, and he can spray so much fire!"

"Her dean is so fierce, just like Alista, but not as fat as Arista! Well, I'm sorry Arista, Xia Xia is a bad boy, Xia Xia shouldn't speak ill of others..."

"What a beautiful place, all green and green! They are amazing... Cloris is amazing too!"

"Where is this place? The explorers of Faljar must have been to Abyss like Rico, right?! But it's so dangerous, explorers..."

Finally, when Xia Xia rolled into Cloris's arms again, she calmed down a little.

Cloris hugged her: "This is a fictional story, but maybe somewhere in the lower world, there is such a grand scene." Gently kissing Xia Xia's forehead, the girl continued to ask, " Are you happier?"

"Xia Xia said something bad to Sister Elf today..."

"That's not Xia Xia's fault, and Ilona won't blame you, oh, you can blame Alista, she didn't set a good example."

"Xia Xia doesn't want to drag Cloris down, but Xia Xia knows nothing..."

"How can this be called a drag? As I said, we are one and will not be separated. If Xia Xia feels that she doesn't know enough, Cloris can teach you."

"I want to learn something that can take care of Cloris, I don't want Cloris to be scolded, I don't want Cloris to only imagine those beautiful worlds, I don't want Cloris to ask others for gifts for Xia Xia, but... ..."

Clam?Cloris scratched her head.

Did the little guy think it was the stories he wove because of his longing?In addition, she is not asking for others' favors for the little guy...

cough cough.

In any case, Xia Xia's heart is enough to move Cloris deeply.

The little guy buried his face in Cloris' arms, and the girl's skin gradually became moist. Xia Xia sniffled and hugged Cloris tightly.Even in the severe cold, pure, selfless, sincere dedication and care make the two of them snuggle like a bonfire.

I want to raise this child.

This is the only wish hovering in Cloris' heart at the moment.

Fal Yar is not suitable for Xia Xia, such a child should not stay in the lower realm, she should have a richer life.

Perhaps, Cloris thought, I should consider Ilona's offer.

Or ask Wojty to see if the little guy has any spiritual potential.But transcendence means risk. Perhaps only people like Alista and Ilona can feel like ducks in water in the transcendent world.

"Cloris..." Xia Xia's childish voice floated out of her arms, "Xia Xia doesn't want to sleep in bed tonight, Xia Xia wants to be with Cloris..."

"No problem," Cloris rubbed her cheek against Xia Xia's forehead, and said softly, "Good night, my little one."

"Well... good night, Cloris."

28. Dream

Cloris fell asleep.

She has had many nightmares in her life.Broken mountains and rivers, burning giant city, Mateo's soldiers marched in the field covered with the corpses of Manro's people, the ship made of iron and blood smashed the insidious face of Duke Richetta, betrayed and trafficked, and was severely whipped by Arista ...

But there has never been a dream like this moment, scattered but real.

The ships flying the flags of the sun and the double-headed eagle burned Far Yar, the airport changed flags several times, and the refugees fled in all directions. She saw Alista's body was pierced, and Xia Xia was taken away by a woman's hand .

Cloris felt that she was wrapped in dense fog and hurricanes. The contradictory thickness made the fog and wind confuse into a knife-like airflow. The world rolled up crazily, but she fell rapidly.

then fell to the ground—

Cloris woke up in a cold sweat, the sky shone with light, Xia Xia grabbed the belt of her vest and sucked her fingers to sleep soundly. Soon after, the sound of the chef knocking on the iron basin was heard, which meant the start of a new day. arrival.

Cloris scooped up a small half of a basin of water to freshen up, and took Xia Xia's hand to the cafeteria for dinner.

The food in the cafeteria was never delicious, but there was nothing to complain about. Cloris chewed the cabbage and softened the rye bread with the paste, recalling the dream of last night.

Is this the negative effect of "Phantom"?

Cloris finally had a deeper understanding of the curse Wojty spoke of.

The nightmare undoubtedly pointed to the most vulnerable part of her heart. Only "accident" level skills have such an impact, higher level hazards, disasters, calamities and even natural disasters... The girl can figure out how skills are linked to disasters.

"I don't know what curses Ilona is enduring, but she seems to be able to handle it with ease..."

With such thoughts in mind, Cloris studied harder in the library.

In the next period of time, the French army swept across the entire territory of Faal Yar. Their way of managing the town was similar to that of the Teribi people. Except for a few teams with bad discipline who were eyeing the wealth of some local residents, the order was quickly restored. stabilize.

However, everything is far from over. They did stretch Terriby's supply line to the lower realm by occupying Faljar, but the latter's countermeasures also prevented the transport ships from entering this place.

The war in the sea of ​​clouds continues.

The French had no choice but to impose military control on Far Yar, restrict residents' daily purchases, and strictly control supplies.However, the implementation of the policy takes time. The natives who heard the news had already started hoarding food, water and cold weapons. The shops were robbed and sold out. Some people could only go to remote villages to buy rye before the news spread. .

Cloris made another big purchase with Arista, and the last time it was three years ago, the nun led her to a textile factory and an "oil" refinery to buy heating supplies due to the rare cold wave in ten years. On the other hand, even though supplies are in short supply, no one can compete with Alista, but the wharf gang ushered in a reshuffle, and the town gangsters changed a few leaders.

As for the latter two things, the young Cloris didn't have much access to them, so she didn't actually know about them.

In addition to enough rye and vegetables for three months, there are barrels of source crystal oil, raw materials for winter clothes, and other supplies.

When pushing the cart through the square, Cloris was fortunate enough to see the execution—it seemed that the commander of the French legion had picked a few soldiers who were misbehaving in order to clean up the military discipline.

The leader of this group of French soldiers seems to be the young woman with red hair, a handsome, slender woman in a dashing military uniform.The capable thin ponytail hangs down on the waist and hips, and the pleats and lines of the whole body set off a strong and well-proportioned body.Not delicate, not rough.

The chef and the farmer took turns to help, and one person was left to guard the reformatory. It was fine a few days ago. As the French army stabilized the order, many checkpoints have been set up on the road.

"Stop!"

In the last few days, Arista stopped shopping in the town, and chose the route as a remote path leading to the village, but even so, three French soldiers still stopped them at the intersection.
