A subjugated princess will never die a vagabond

Cloris doesn’t know how much energy this brightly lit hall will consume in a day, but it can definitely meet the energy needs of the correctional facility for more than a year—the poor correctional facility uses oil that has been refined from waste residue. Thrifty Alice The tower is only used for its lighting, or burning for warmth during the coldest part of the season.

The waitress led Ilona and Cloris into the private room and handed over the menu. The elf didn't even look at it, and threw it in front of Cloris (jokingly) and said, "Then let's see how much money you have. You can't buy these things, Clois."

17. Good sister

Cloris glanced at Ilona cautiously, and turned to the first page of the menu, her pumping heart immediately froze.

What dish?Sorry, didn't see clearly.

Cloris saw only the number behind it—eleven pounds.

what is this concept?The average weekly expenditure for the maintenance of a child in a correctional institution is four pence, or one sixtieth pound.The weekly wages of a Devil's Hole miner are ten shillings, one-half of a pound.The first course at the Elizabeth Hotel was eleven quid, er, eleven quid.

"As for the money, you have it now?" Ilona sneered with a smile that succeeded in pranking.For this kid who disobeyed her good intentions, she had to understand the cruelty of reality!

Cloris almost couldn't recognize the number eleven. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and asked the waiter, "Which page is Bubble Puffer Fish on?"

"Hehe, the taste is not bad." Ilona commented from the side.

When the waiter was helping Cloris to turn the pages, the girl who was staring at the quotation humiliated Ilona again in her heart... cursed ten thousand times.

There are more than a dozen ways to make bubble puffer fish. The cheapest one is steamed puffer fish slices, which costs [-] pounds and [-] shillings.penny?This unit will not be available at the Elizabeth Hotel.

Cloris breathed a sigh of relief, and with the money Arista gave, it should be enough.

But she didn't come to eat, so she continued to ask: "Excuse me, can you sell me the live bubble puffer fish?"

"Sorry, miss, we don't sell ingredients here."

Cloris had a huge sum of ten pounds and four shillings in her pocket. After labor costs, a live bubble puffer fish might only cost two to four pounds.This is the result of Cloris's consideration of "ocean" transportation.

"Please, I really need it." Cloris pleaded to the waitress with cat ears.

The other party is most likely from the lower world, knowing how difficult it is for a poor little guy to survive, but the hotel has hotel rules, she dare not ruin her job because of this, so she can only refuse.

"What do you buy live fish for?" Ilona asked with a frown.

"I have a younger sister, uh... the younger sister of the poor correctional institution, her name is Xia Xia, and she is a half-elf. Tomorrow is Xia Xia's birthday. She once ate bubble puffer fish and said that she would never forget it in her life It’s so delicious, so I’ve been saving money for a long time, and I want to make a fugu dish for her on her birthday! So it must be fresh!”

Cloris immediately moved out Xia Xia as a shield. Xia Xia is a pure-blooded elf, and it is reasonable to like to eat bubble puffer fish!

And with such a narration, the character of the girl's kind and stalwart sister is immediately erected!

"Poverty correctional facility, half-elf..." Ilona's face was not very good-looking. She had a high status and stepped into the lower realm for the first time, but it didn't mean she knew nothing about the lower realm.However, she knows that the elves have done a lot of bad things in the lower realm, but she can't put it on the table and continue to maintain the noble and elegant image of the elves.

The change in Ilona's expression was noticed by Cloris, who was always paying attention to her, which surprised the little girl.The elf in front of her has a serious lineage theory and racist tendencies at first glance. She must not be thinking about how to get rid of Xia Xia in her heart, right?

Fortunately, Elena's expression finally softened. She still held her chin up and looked at Cloris out of the corner of her eye: "Your sister has great taste, so," she told the waitress, "I will reward such a talented girl." A taster... a live bubble puffer."

It turns out that this guy still has the attribute of being arrogant!

Cloris was shocked again. After years of experience in Faljar, the level of the girl's observation and observation was not to mention perfect, and it was easy to understand the demeanor of a fool like Ilona.

Combined with the previous scene in Lizard Lane, Cloris immediately labeled the other party as "deceptive".

This elf still has some conscience.Cloris thought.Because of some conscience, it is easier to deceive.

Actually, how could it be so easy to deceive Ilona?It's nothing more than preconceptions about the person Cloris created in an arrogant state of mind.The appearance of the girl and the pretentious soft voice are the plus points. No matter how simple the dress is, it can't conceal the aura that makes people close. If it is someone else, it only needs to be a little more ordinary and snobbish. Ilona sees Will not even look at it.

The reality is so cruel.

Ilona looked down on the untouchables in the lower world, but subconsciously felt that the little devil in front of her could be educated, at least the words of admiration from the other party were very useful.

"Honorable, beautiful, and kind elf sister, you are such a good person!" Cloris was grateful and secretly delighted.

Apart from being shabby, she looks no different from her own sister.

Ilona wanted to touch Cloris' hair, but under the influence of pride and reserved inertia, she gave up after thinking about it.

"Don't thank me, even if I'm honorable, beautiful and kind, a humble, shabby and ignorant brat like you is not worthy of my charity," Ilona sang out maliciously, as if she wanted to see Cloris shed tears, " I just think that a child with elf blood has the right to enjoy the delicious taste of bubble puffer fish, that's all."

Cloris sighed inwardly.

Of course the girl won't shed tears anymore, that level of performance is no longer needed, so her eyes are shining brightly, "Anyway, thank you for giving my sister a birthday present!"

That's it.

Ilona thought.

Anyway, it was a passer-by who met by chance, and it was just a matter of raising a finger. The child in front of him would probably soon be reduced to the same existence as those untouchables, and then die, right?

What is the meaning of what you do?Nothing will change fundamentally, and the untouchables will still live in a despicable, bleak, pitiful and hateful way.

If Cloris knew what the other party thought, she would definitely agree.Wool who met by chance, when will you wait if you don't squeeze it now?

Therefore, when the bubble puffer fish was brought up in the tank, Cloris dug in her pocket for a long time, and finally found twelve shillings and six pence--eggs cannot be put in one basket, she Putting money in various pockets can hide the truth to a certain extent.

Cloris rummaged out of her pocket, and placed the coins one by one. It would be exaggerated to dare to buy bubble puffer fish with such a small amount of money. She gritted her teeth and touched a one-pound coin and placed it on the table.

"This, these are the money I have saved from weaving black hemp, collecting thousand-handed vines, and selling medicinal materials over the past two years..."

After repeating what she said to Alista, the girl began to play dumb.

"But, but, the purchase price of bubble puffer fish in our hotel is five pounds and seven shillings..." The waitress was also very conflicted.

Why do the people of the lower realm make things difficult for the people of the lower realm?

So Cloris looked at Ilona with shining and tearful eyes: "Sister Ilona..." After forcibly drawing the relationship closer, she choked up and said, "Can you, can you lend a hand to Ilona?" A little money, I will definitely pay it back..."

A few pounds is a huge amount of money for Cloris, but isn't it just a little money for the elf in front of her?

"..." Ilona was silent for a moment, then she gave her attendant a look, and said to Cloris, "It's just a puffer fish, since it's a gift, it should show my generosity...you don't need to pay it back."

"But, I borrowed five pounds and seven shillings..." Cloris flinched and hesitated in her eyes.

"sure."

"I must pay it back!" Cloris said loudly.

"I said, no need."

"I will definitely pay it back!!!" Cloris vowed!

What a sincere child!Ilona was impressed.Why is such a child born in the lower realm?Fate is too unfair.

"You can pay it back if you want," Ilona changed her words, "but there is no time limit, and no interest is charged. Otherwise, I'm afraid that others will laugh at me if I compare a few pounds with a lowland pariah."

Cloris was happy in her heart, wasn't that what she was waiting for?

There is no need to pay back the money, and the character design is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

This time it's really perfect.

18. War and Discord

Cloris can't be blamed for improvising. For a distinguished and noble elf like Ilona, ​​just five pounds can buy satisfaction and vanity. Letting her few good intentions give full play to the waste heat, the price-performance ratio is simply beyond the sky.

I am doing good deeds for her!Cloris hinted to herself in order to dispel the little guilt left.

What's more, compared with the living standards of the Falyar people, the menu price of the Elizabeth Hotel is inherently guilty in a sense.

Transportation costs, food quality and other factors make the price of this bubble puffer fish nearly three times higher than the upper limit. However, these extra costs will not improve the effect of auxiliary magic, and Cloris, who is diligent and thrifty, can naturally save money. Province.

Once again, Cloris thanked and praised Ilona sincerely. The level of flattery made the elf fold her arms proudly and cautiously. It was the first time that Ilona, ​​who was used to flattery, was so uncomfortable.

After the scene was over, Cloris was thinking about how to say goodbye more appropriately, when a piercing siren suddenly echoed outside the window, and the thunder-like roar of the turbine shattered the fog. The breath of the giant.

Not only her, the waitress fell to the ground in panic under the violent trembling sound waves, several of Ilona's followers showed strange expressions, and the elf took a sip of the black tea with milk and sugar, and said plainly: " You stay here for a while, the goal of the French is only the airport."

The airport is located on an artificial floating island above the northeast of the main island of Far Yar. It is far away from the fog and is convenient for large ships to dock. It operates stably all year round.

"You know what happened?"

"It has nothing to do with you," replied Ilona, ​​"and it has nothing to do with me."

Cloris knew more or less the structure of the kingdoms of the upper world, and knew that the Kingdom of Farland and the Kingdom of Teribi were natural enemies. She was surprised by Ilona's indifference: "Aren't you a Teribi elf?"

"Teribi's territory ring and four universes, the land of Far Yar, and the waterway is close to the Kingdom of Farland. It is normal to lose for a while," Ilona said with a mentality that confused Cloris. , "You won't understand, you don't know how big this world is, and you don't know that there are thousands (miles) of wasteland, bustling and chaotic seas, lost kingdoms inhabited by ancestors, and countless The relics, the dirty disputes of interest entanglements will not affect a star believer's pursuit of the unknown... Oh, Cloris, don't you think it is a sad thing to be trapped in such a small place all your life?"

Ilona's insight only saw a emptiness in Cloris, which meant that the girl did not have the slightest potential for spiritual veins, except for the pollution of the Void Source Crystal that existed in Far Yar's body flowing in her blood, There is also no sign of any source power.

If the girl in front of her shows even the slightest affinity for Yuanli, she can forcibly insert low-level accompanying skills that increase lifespan and health for her through transformation surgery, and let her do odd jobs in her manor. pity……

However, if the other party begs himself, then the Cavendish family is not unable to take in a pet.

are you politeFor Ilona's awkward attitude and prejudice, Cloris was only sweating a soy bean.

"No," the girl said innocently and ignorantly, "my sister and I are very happy together, and the nuns in the correctional center are also very nice, and everyone is very gentle."

"..." Ilona pursed her thin lips lightly. Maybe her flashing thought was not a good idea. If Cloris was really allowed to live in Terriby, the smiling face at this time would definitely not appear.

Thunder and explosions came from the outside, and the exclamation and wailing of the crowd exploded on the street. The fleet of the Kingdom of Farland was indeed targeting the airport, but stray bullets have no eyes, and if any unlucky ghosts are affected, they can only accept their fate.

The elves who were originally majestic and mighty were huddled in the Elizabeth Hotel and government buildings at the moment. Ordinary people either hid in the basement, or the energy station such as the furnace, which is difficult to rebuild after destruction, or took refuge in remote areas far away from the airport.

The correctional center is more than ten miles away from the Elizabeth Hotel, and the straight-line distance from the airport is even further, so it is basically safe and sound.Cloris didn't know the specific situation outside, so she was sweating in her heart.

Ilona looked at the slightly nervous Cloris: "Aren't you afraid?"

"With Sister Ilona here, I don't feel afraid anymore!"

These words dyed the elf's cheeks a layer of blush, and Ilona fell silent, the echo of artillery fire brewing in the air.

After about an hour, the artillery fire and firing ceased, and it was time for Cloris to say goodbye to Ilona.

"I'll have someone send you off," Ilona said.

"Thank you Sister Ilona," Cloris smiled, "but I can go back by myself."

The water tank should be some kind of plastic, very light. Cloris hugged the water tank and left. After the girl went out, Ilona made a look at a follower, then quietly looked at the scenery outside the window, sipping tea without saying a word.

The streets were in a mess, and a small number of houses that had been scraped by stray bullets were directly razed to the ground.The exploding source crystal dust burned people's respiratory organs, and Cloris also covered her mouth and nose to avoid the reddish purple haze.

The screams were endless.

Cloris couldn't bear to avoid those voices. After a catastrophe, there will be chaos. Her body and strength do not support her overflowing sympathy.

"Help, cough cough, save me..." A half body coughing from the dust and haze crawled out from the ruins of Lizard Alley.

Cloris followed the sound, isn't this the guy who sold the purple stone ring before?

He was extremely weak, the blood dripping from the back of his spine grew into peristaltic fine nerves, and those crimson threads greedily sucked up the dust and haze left by the source crystal, gradually eroding the middle-aged man's body.

He tried to grab Cloris' ankle, but was avoided by the sharp girl.

Cloris is not a ruthless person. Even though the other party's eyes were plotting against others, she still retaliated with kindness: "You are hopeless, I can make your death easier."

"I can still be saved, I can still be saved, go to the Konrad Clinic, before the spirit meridians go berserk, he can help me transplant my severed limbs, uhhhh..." The crimson thread suddenly pierced the middle-aged man's spine, Ke Norris could clearly see countless red threads swimming under the skin.

Is this the spirit vein out of control?Cloris always felt that the other party's spiritual veins were very different from her own Touch of the Void. This was not a difference in symbols or attributes, but a deep intuition told her that the middle-aged man's spiritual veins were just incomplete and defective products. .

Does Lingmai still have a disability?

In short, the girl who felt the ominous took two steps back, wanting to leave as soon as possible.

"Wait a minute, I have money, those bastards stole my goods, but I still have money!!!" Seeing that Cloris was about to leave, the middle-aged man hurriedly tore open the inner lining of his clothes, took out the thin thin banknotes.

Two fifty pounds, five ten pounds!

This ugly guy is damn rich!

The middle-aged man howled: "Let Dr. Conrad come here as soon as possible, and I will give you all the money, all of it!"

Cloris couldn't ignore it anymore. She licked her lips and said, "You have to give me the money first, otherwise how can I be sure if you will break your promise later? Now you have no choice, do you?"

The middle-aged man was panting weakly, with an uncertain expression. He seemed to have gone through repeated psychological struggles, and finally nodded dejectedly, and raised the banknote in his hand.

Just when Cloris reached out to pick it up, the middle-aged man burst into a sudden flash of light, and he grabbed Cloris' wrist, with a vicious red light in his eyes: "Anyone, don't even try to get me from me!" Take away—one! one! one! man!"

19. Harvest

The middle-aged man laughed heartily, but before laughing twice, his expression suddenly froze.

The chick stood indifferently not far in front of him, she seemed to have never squatted down, and what he just held was nothing but a handful of air.

"What's going on? I clearly caught you!" He said furiously, and then the lobes of his lungs burned, "cough cough cough cough!"

"Who knows?" Cloris pouted, "Maybe you burned out your brain?"

The girl stomped off the middle-aged man's wrist, bent down and took away the golden Teribi pound, and flicked it with her slender fingers in satisfaction.

Very good, because of the artillery fire, the crowd has long since dispersed, and the 150 pounds can be taken by myself.
