Arad's crooked savior

"I will repay your kindness, I will!"

Alicia still stubbornly held her head. Being saved was a great favor, and it was natural for her to repay her with sincere gratitude.

Ye Lin didn't pretend to be polite and said he didn't need it. Instead, he frowned and pondered for a while, then nodded heavily and said, "It just so happens that I do have one thing that only you can do."

"As long as I can do it, just ask."

Alicia trembled, biting her lower lip secretly, and her calm heart suddenly trembled again.

His appearance is famous among the younger generation of dark elves, and he said "only I can do it"?

In her lowered gaze, there was still some fresh blood on the altar at Ye Lin's feet, which stung her eyes severely.

Her thoughts are very messy now, and it can be said that her mind is full of mud. On one side is disgust for human beings, and on the other side is great kindness.

It's not that she can't let go of her hatred, she is naturally very grateful to the hero who saved the dark elves.

But every night when I close my eyes, I will recall in my mind that when I was ten years old, ferocious thieves massacred the entire village, and my mother and the villagers still fell in a pool of blood despite desperately resisting.

Being weak, she was immediately hidden by her mother. She could only watch the tragedy happen, her tears dried up, and she cried until she was on the verge of death.

"I heard Queen Meia talk about you, a very talented young swordsman. We are deeply sorry and sad about that tragedy, but you have to believe that not every human being is so hateful."

Ye Lin's eyes and tone were extremely sincere. He wanted to reverse Alicia's prejudice against humans.

"Huh? Well..."

Pursing her lips, Alicia was slightly startled. It seemed a little different from what she expected.

She reluctantly hesitated and made no other response. She needed some time to process the chaotic thoughts, which became a mess.

Ye Lin frowned as if he remembered something, and said: "In the Principality of Belmare, there is a roaming group called the "Crazy Thieves Group" that does all kinds of evil. The leader is Mo Zhen, the dog user. Queen Skadi has also been troubled by this for a long time. She wants to Get rid of it quickly."

Before she finished speaking, Alicia raised her head suddenly and stared at his face.

The eyes were a little nervous, a little expectant, and even contained a deep murderous intention.

"Belmare is now on good terms with Vanness, and the queens of the two countries are also on good terms with each other. If the crazy thieves group is wiped out in the future, will the dark elves be willing to help?"

Yelin smiled and left the question and choice to her.

"willing!"

Almost as angry as gnashing her teeth, Alicia straightened her body, touched her shoulder with her right hand for the first time, bent down and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Alicia is willing to offer you the loyalty of a knight!"

The human in front of him had great kindness to the dark elf race and was the ninth hero.

Just now, he was injured trying to save himself.

Now that he has revealed his inner knot, he might be able to avenge his mother on the crazy band of thieves.

She wanted to slit the thief's throat with two swords to comfort her deceased mother.

Even a hard-hearted man can now detect his tenderness and kindness.

"Haha, allegiance is waived. It makes me look like an armed leader. I am just a noble in name. It's useless to be a knight."

Ye Lin hurriedly waved his hand and smiled generously. He was like a idle nobleman with no territory and no rights. This was exactly what the Senate wanted to see.

The dark elves need a hero who shines with glory, but they don't need a human to interfere with the dark elves' more than a thousand years of political tradition.

The current Queen Meia is wise and wise, and she loves her people like a child. All the dark elves can see that she is a trustworthy king of the dark elves.

The Senate plays a supporting and somewhat check-and-balance role, and everything in Vanes is developing for the better.

As for him, the ninth hero and count, the Senate, including Meia, wished he could just be idle and do nothing.

The reason for this, like Bellemare and Delos, also involves the "orthodox" factor!

Queen Meia is a descendant of Aragorn, the Lord of the Holy Spirit.

The only thing the Senate is eagerly hoping for now is that there will be some movement in Meia's stomach soon.

A child who inherits both the "legitimacy" and the "hero" will help improve the cohesion of the dark elves. This child will inevitably be enthusiastically welcomed and treated by the entire dark elves.

Ye Lin originally thought that after his explicit rejection, Alicia would tacitly agree not to mention it again, and everyone just declined and politely declined.

As for repaying the favor, it's not too late to talk about it in the future. If you forget it, forget it.

However, Alicia did not make a sound and still bent down to perform the knight's salute.

There is a great meaning of repaying life-saving grace today.

Siatt pinched his arm quietly and asked with her eyes what was going on.

"I do not know either."

He spread his hands helplessly, then looked at Alicia and asked in a low voice: "Even if you are not in my name, I can take you with me to destroy the crazy bandit group in the future. How about you think about it again?" ?”

"I……"

Alicia paused a little and seemed hesitant, but there was a touch of joy in her heart.

A wise noble cannot accept the loyalty of others at will. He must clearly understand what each of them needs.

Knights serve the nobles, but the nobles naturally also provide protection and rewards for the knights. The two are mutually beneficial.

Earl Ye Lin happened to meet her hidden standards.

Alicia stood up straight, her attitude no longer cold as on Magadha, and her beautiful face gradually softened.

Then, he explained the reason in detail and sincerely.

Since you want to be loyal to him and use him to achieve certain goals, you can't hide anything anymore.

It turned out that in addition to repaying the favor and feeling that Earl Yelin could be trusted, there was another very important factor, which was the first necromancer Balerion.

The lifespan of dark elves is very long, so for most dark elves, the massacre in the Senate decades ago is as vivid as if it happened yesterday.

Although Alicia herself had nothing to do with Balerion, he was even implicated, causing misfortune to the family.

But it is inevitable that because of their background, many dark elves have a somewhat subtle attitude toward Alicia.

Even though she has outstanding strength and beautiful appearance, she enjoys high popularity among the younger generation.

But in the eyes of the older dark elf, Alicia has always been an object of wariness.

"So, you want to use my name to shut up those people who are too scheming and look at you differently?"

Ye Lin was stunned for a moment, feeling very surprised.

He thought he was on the second floor and Alicia was on the first floor, but he didn't know that the other party had already considered the fifth floor!

"Um……"

Alicia lowered her head silently again. The other person was her savior, but her apparent allegiance was secretly mixed with a bit of use.

Seeing his shocked look, Alicia couldn't help feeling ashamed of herself, and started to panic again.

If word of what happened today reaches Dark City, her reputation will really be tarnished, and she may even be expelled from Dark City by the Senate.

In her nervous and expectant eyes, Ye Lin finally nodded and said:

"Okay, except for the crazy thieves group, I don't need you to fight for me or anything, as long as you swear not to betray the dark elves."

Ye Lin felt in his pocket. If he was a knight loyal to a certain noble, the noble would give him a family medal.

But his family medal... there was a circle sandwiched between the six-pointed star, which was the medal given to him by the senators. He had no use for it anyway, so he handed it directly to Alicia.

"This is……"

Alicia, who subconsciously reached out to take the medal, was a little confused. Her hand shook and she almost lost the sapphire medal on the spot.

Because this is the emblem of the Kingdom of Vanness, which is also the medal of the royal family!

Is he using the royal family's medal as his family's medal?

Suddenly, she remembered what her master Buhai once said casually, saying that Queen Meia and the Ninth Hero had a somewhat unclear relationship.

"I, Alicia Aden, swear in the name of Aragorn, the Lord of the Holy Spirit, that I will never betray the dark elves and offer my loyalty!"

Clasp the medal on his chest, solemnly take his hand, bend down and kiss the back of the hand.

Although there were no more witnesses, the oath was made.

"Master, that..."

The moment she opened her mouth, Ye Lin was startled. He waved his hands and said with a smile, "No, this title makes me too corrupt. You are just a knight in my name, not my slave."

Alicia also blushed. She was inexperienced and didn't know what to call him.

"Call the boss?" Ye Lin suggested.

"No, that's what I call you!"

Mo Mei's little mouth curled up a little unhappy. Everyone else called him by his name, or captain, but she was the only one who liked to call him boss.

"Then let's call him boss. I'm still young. I don't think I'm an adult or a master. It's weird."
