Noita smiled softly and said, "Yes, you are a beautiful girl who is always 16 years old. Will you stay here for a while? There should be some time before the feast begins, enough time for you to catch up with the younger generation."
Lily looked cheerful and obviously wanted to stay for a while.
She then invited, "Would you like to stay for a while? My eldest nephew's house is big enough to accommodate the two of you."
"I plan to take a look at the scenery here with Luo Xiweiya."
"Okay~"
Lily grinned, skipped and pulled Alona to the other courtyard to talk. It seemed that they hit it off right away, but Alona was in tears and looked reluctant. She didn't want to suddenly have an elder who was so old and scary.
After Lily left, Luo Xiweiya suddenly laughed, pulled Noita's arm and ran out of Alona's house.
"Huh, it's finally time for us to go out and have some fun. Let's discuss our previous adventures."
Noita shook her head and said, "With the banquet coming up, it's unlikely that my mother-in-law will give us time for a mid-range adventure."
Luo Xiweiya's expression suddenly became depressed, and Noita slowly comforted her: "So how about visiting the festival? It should be just as fun."
Luo Xiweiya glanced at him and asked, "Just you and me?"
The girl affirmed, "It's just you and me."
"Let's go."
Luo Xiweiya regrouped and dragged Noita into the wild people's celebration.
This is a festival to celebrate the acquisition of a new habitat, and now there is a joyful atmosphere spreading among the crowd.
Because there were rumors that the Dragon God who gave them the land quietly walked into the crowd and celebrated the festival with them, this made the people of the wilderness even more crazy. They showed off their own advantages and specialties in the celebration, hoping to please the Dragon God.
Luo Xiweiya was immersed in the festive atmosphere and bought a lot of children's toys such as colorful paper windmills and bamboo dragonflies, having a lot of fun playing with them.
The games inside the settlement were mostly elegant and subtle. Games like riddles, arm wrestling, and wood carving could not arouse Luo Xiweiya's interest. She and Noita walked and stopped, and finally reached the wider periphery.
There was also a constant flow of people outside. Luo Xiweiya quietly released detection magic and overlooked the panoramic view of the outside of the settlement from a high altitude.
She saw performances of equestrianism and fencing, as well as competitions in archery, wrestling, wheat harvesting, and driving cattle and sheep to designated locations. In the distance, there were poets singing and wild wizards performing amazing magic tricks.
Luo Xiweiya came to the most crowded shooting range. A knight covered in armor stood in the range, 500 meters away from the target. He bent his bow and drew his arrows. His arrows hit the bull's eye again and again, arousing cheers.
Challengers came on stage one after another, confident mortals and professionals who felt they could come out on top stepped forward to challenge the champion.
They are good at archery and are masters of shooting arrows without missing their targets. They are archery masters from various tribes.
But the knight's archery skills are better.
With just a clang, the arrow leaving the bow can often pit the opponent's arrow in mid-air, while the arrow itself can still hit the bull's eye steadily.
She won both the mounted and moving target shooting.
The knight's miraculous archery skills aroused waves of cheers. The challenger admitted defeat and joined the cheers, wondering how long the knight's winning streak could last.
There is a makeshift shop next to the shooting range. Every time a knight wins a battle, the person behind the shop will put a stone chip in a corner of the pile.
There are now forty-seven chips stacked up, which is the number of consecutive wins the Cavaliers have achieved.
The price tags below the goods in the small shops indicate that these goods can be exchanged for chips.
"Isn't this bullying?"
Luo Xiweiya immediately noticed the huge gap between the others and the knight. The knight's body was filled with magic power, like a living reactor. He should be at least a second-level professional. Most of the spectators and contestants were only first-level, so how could they compare with him?
The magic power amplification alone is an assistance that is difficult for mortals to achieve.
Noita patted Luo Xiweiya's shoulder and encouraged her, "Do you want to go up and try it too? I don't know how good your archery skills are."
"I can't help but cheat."
There isn't much else about the mage, except for an outrageous number of cheating methods.
As she spoke, Luo Xiweiya seemed to confirm something and wanted Noita to play.
"How about you try it?"
"I am also bullying people."
What's more, it's outrageous. She is an extraordinary person. It's too much for her to bully the younger generation in a normal competition.
"How can it be the same? There are no restrictions on this competition. If you challenge them, who knows who will be older."
Noita still shook her head.
Luo Xiweiya tutted her words and prepared to go on stage herself.
"what."
Noita held onto Luo Xiweiya, perplexed by her emotions. "Why did you change your mind? And you've been particularly angry since the beginning. Do you have a grudge?"
"Well, there's some personal grudge." Luo Xiweiya said with a little annoyance, "The smuggling team I set up in Jinghai a long time ago was destroyed by this guy, and the losses were heavy!"
Moreover, this guy was one of the sixteen individuals who had been tested as suspected outsiders of fate. Luo Xiweiya had spent a lot of effort to test her but could not find the predictable point of fate. She thought she had found the real person, but when she was about to let her mother kidnap her, she was told that her fate was just obscured, not that it was not in her fate.
After that, she was teased by her mother for a while, which made Luo Xiweiya so angry that she had a headache whenever she thought of this guy, and she still feels resentful about it.
However, due to the search of the Great Mystery, she was unable to save face.
But enemies always meet, and as fate would have it, she ran into him here.
"What's her name?" Noita was curious about the other party's identity. In the game, she had never seen in Luo Xiweiya's autobiography that she had enemies other than the Sunset Society and the Grand Duke of the Southern Territory.
Luo Xiweiya asked Noita to take the toys she bought on the road for a while, and replied in a low voice: "Her name is Joan of Arc, Joan of Arc Marenia."
Noita was stunned. Joan of Arc, who was drawing the bow, suddenly heard someone say her full name and looked over.
The blue eyes, like the water of a heavenly lake, met Noita's gaze.
His clear vision, untainted by dust, was a little confused, not understanding why he heard his own name here. But when he saw that both Roshivia and Noita were unfamiliar faces, and there were almost no resentful spirits on them, he didn't care about it and turned back to continue the game.
Chapter 356: Grudges
Luo Xiweiya finally took the stage. She held a longbow in her hand and used magic to temporarily change her appearance, becoming ordinary and normal, with no signs of abnormality. However, the slight dragon power that spread out when she was serious made the audience dare not underestimate or laugh at her. When Joan of Arc felt the majesty that only dragon-blooded life possessed, her gaze instantly became sharp and she treated her opponent seriously.
She saluted Roshivia, then stood side by side with her, both standing on top of the target platform.
In the distance, the targets in the shooting range were replaced and the staff were replenishing arrows into the quiver.
The referee raised his hand, signaling the contestants to concentrate.
The two men drew their bows, and at the moment the referee waved his hand, the strings were released. It was like two bolts of lightning flashed before their eyes. The arrows flew over a hundred meters at a completely unreasonable speed and hit the bull's eye.
Their arrows flew faster than the other, so fast that it gave people the illusion that it was a meteor shower.
The spectators held their breath and watched the fight quietly.
Soon, the meteor shower stopped, and when the two tried to draw their arrows again, they felt nothing. They looked down and found that the shared quiver was empty.
competition is over.
Luo Xiweiya had an epiphany. Her good vision allowed her to clearly see the cluster of arrows on the target five hundred meters away. It was like a bush of thorns and flowers, gorgeous and dangerous.
She had sixteen arrows in her target.
There were a total of fifty arrows in the quiver. Looking closely, there were indeed thirty-four arrowheads stuck in Joan of Arc's target.
Luo Xiweiya knew she had lost.
The referee was counting arrows, and before the referee finished counting, Luo Xiweiya put the bow back in its place and surrendered.
"I lost."
There was no need for any complicated techniques. Joan of Arc surpassed her in the basic aspects of archery speed and accuracy, which made her lose interest in continuing the competition.
It is indeed ridiculous for a noble wizard to compete with a knight in archery.
Before the referee announced the result, Luo Xiweiya squeezed into the crowd and quickly disappeared.
Soon after, she came to Noita, pulled Noita away from the shooting range, and sat on a grassy slope to rest.
Luo Xiweiya whispered: "I lost."
"Yeah." Noita nodded.
"Hey, she's even more powerful than the last time we met. Tsk, this guy hasn't been lazy either." Luo Xiweiya looked at Noita's profile and asked, "Aren't you curious why I challenged her beyond my ability?"
"Not curious."
"It would hurt me to hear you say that. I'm doing this for Miss Witch. You know, this guy is also a follower of a great dragon, and his overall strength is not inferior to mine. I'm testing his strength for Miss Witch."
Noita rubbed Luo Xiweiya's face and pointed out her little thoughts: "It's obvious that you want to play it yourself, and this is your personal grudge, don't involve me."
Luo Xiweiya pinched Noita's delicate spot and said, "I saw Noita clearly after one match. I don't love her anymore."
"Yes, yes, you see me clearly. If you have the guts, don't put your hands inside my clothes."
"My pleasure!"
"Hello."
A question mark startled the two people who were playing. They looked up at the same time and saw a beautiful blonde girl standing in the upper hand, looking at them.
The girl blushed slightly, but her eyes didn't move away from the two of them.
She asked softly, "Excuse me, are you also the princesses participating in this banquet?"
Roshivia looked at Jeanne against the light, stood up from the ground, and pointed at Noita.
"I'm not, this guy is."
Noita nodded, acknowledging it.
She attended the banquet on behalf of Luo Xiweiya. In fact, after the ceremony was completed, Luo Xiweiya could have attended the banquet openly, but she just didn't want to show up and wanted Noita to do it for her.
Joan of Arc was delighted.
"I knew I'd run into someone I could travel with," Jeanne said, approaching the two. "When I sensed a faint dragon presence at the event, I felt you were one of a kind, and it turned out to be true. My companions disappeared after arriving here, leaving me unsure where to go next. Since I'm so lucky to have met you two, I wonder if we could travel together until the banquet begins."
"No!" Luo Xiweiya refused sternly, "We don't want to travel with others."
Joan of Arc looked depressed and took a step back, no longer approaching them.
Seeing Joan of Arc turning around to leave, Noita told her: "We met another friend earlier, she is also here..."
Neuta recommended Lily to Joan of Arc. After hearing this, Joan of Arc was very grateful for Neuta's advice and walked away with a smile.
"Why help her?" Luo Xiweiya was puzzled.
Noita took Roshivia by the hand and walked towards the lively place.
"It's just an ordinary request. I don't deserve to be ignored for no reason. Meimei, tell me about your grudge."
Luo Xiweiya said angrily, "It's a simple grudge. I smuggled Serkar's food into the famine-stricken area of the Tranquil Sea, and then she lurked there and wiped out the team I had worked so hard to build."
"Is she a psyker too?"
"No, because the level of her fate was higher than my prediction, so I had someone recruit her and test her. I never thought that this village girl was an informant for the inspection team, and I accidentally suffered a great loss."
Recruiting an official informant into the smuggling team naturally led to failure.
"How much did you lose?"
"Excluding the loss of manpower, we probably lost tens of thousands of gold coins."
This was the biggest loss Luo Xiweiya had ever suffered, and the memory of it was still fresh.
Noita couldn't believe it: "She reported the entire smuggling team?"
"Yes, I predicted the fate of the others. They weren't traitors. It could only have been Jeanne. I conducted some subsequent investigations and found that only Jeanne was promoted and given a raise. I also did find the letter in which she tipped off the suspects."
Luo Xiweiya lowered her hands indifferently, angry about what happened. Even though two years had passed, she still felt angry when she thought about it again.
Noita bowed his head, thinking that there might be a misunderstanding.
In the game, Noita had heard of Joan of Arc's deeds. Because it was a name that looked very powerful, she paid more attention to her than to ordinary NPCs.
Years later, Joan of Arc would be hailed as the Saint Maiden of the Sea of Tranquility.
Because of the chain reaction caused by the Old God's Long Dream incident, the entire Gaia is no longer stable and has fallen into a period of unrest.
The Jinghai Alliance, a union similar to the loose European Union, experienced a serious crisis of trust under the guidance of the great devil Mammon. The subsequent outbreak of the War of Nations aggravated the crisis and almost made Jinghai a more chaotic place than the Kingdom of Rongguan.
At that time, the country was in danger and the people were in dire straits.
Elite top professionals who are only afraid of chaos in the world push the flames of war, and the oath of being as close as a family is destroyed by the blood of compatriots. After the brutal struggle, Joan of Arc and many like-minded people work together to save Jinghai and restore peace to it.
But their methods were extremely cruel. It was said that the shallow sea area of the Tranquil Sea was dyed red with the blood of the mermen, and the pools of blood on some city streets submerged the soles of shoes, and the fishy smell seeped into the soul.
