The Bizarre Adventure of the Warhammer Elves

Chapter 268 Duke Ned
Looking at the white-haired beauty with a scar on her face in front of her, although Ned still maintained a gentleman's demeanor on the surface, he was already secretly vigilant in his heart.

After all, in his opinion, this woman is not simple:
According to Maester Luwin's examination, the woman's wound was caused by a knife wound, and there was no sign of any direwolf bite or scratch on her body.

A woman who was alone in the wild was able to kill a direwolf after being attacked by someone. This is enough to prove the strength of this woman!
Of course, if it's just a public security issue of some loitering robbers attacking a single woman, then it's not enough for Ned, the Duke, to come and take care of it himself.

What he paid more attention to was the woman's hair color:

Silver-white hair, on this continent of Westeros, only the dragon family that once ruled this continent for hundreds of years - the Targaryen family's unique hair color!
Rumor has it that 'Daenerys', the Targaryen remnant across the Channel, is a young and beautiful woman, exactly the same age as the woman in front of her!
Although Ned didn't think the white-haired woman in front of her would be the legendary 'Daenerys', it was very possible that she had some connection with Targaryen.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Lord Duke, your subordinates saved my life, and I will find an opportunity to repay you."

At this time, Ciri obviously didn't know that Ned had regarded himself as a remnant of the former dynasty in his heart, so he still politely replied:

"My name is Shirley, and I'm an apprentice demon hunter who traveled to this world to avoid being hunted down, so in order not to cause trouble for you, I need to leave here as soon as possible."

"Traveling? Demon hunter? Being hunted down?"

Ned listened to Ciri's self-introduction with a mask on his face. It was obvious that such an answer greatly exceeded his expectations.

Obviously I can understand every word the other party said, but it seems like I didn't hear it.

Seeing the doubts written on Ned's face, Ciri couldn't help but secretly sighed. Obviously, he didn't expect the other party to fully understand what he meant.

But now is not the time to explain, she has been in a coma for so long, the King of the Wild Hunt has probably already chased her!

Looking at the children playing outside the window, Ciri could feel that the Wild Hunt seemed to have locked his position, so he anxiously begged Ned who was still thinking with his head down:
"It's too late to explain, my lord, please return my weapon to me as soon as possible, I must leave here quickly."

Hearing this, Ned frowned, obviously not understanding why Ciri wanted to leave so anxiously.

Could it be that the current robbers and savages are bold enough to launch an attack on Winterfell?
After thinking for a while, a resolute expression appeared on Ned's face, and then comforted Ciri who was still anxious:
"Don't be afraid, girl. Although I can't fully understand what you mean, I probably also understand that your situation should be very dangerous, so I can't just ignore it.

The wound on your body has not fully healed. During this period, you can temporarily stay in the castle of Winterfell without worrying about those who hunt and kill you.

Don't worry, Stark's family guards will protect the safety of this city and will never allow anyone suspicious to enter Winterfell, so you can recuperate here with peace of mind. "

As [Guardian of the Northern Territory], he would not stand by and watch a chasing and killing of a lady happen in his territory, but he would remain indifferent.

Even if Ciri is really a member of the Targaryen family in diaspora, the glory of the Stark family will not allow him to die.

Whether it's out of his own glory or doubts about Ciri's complex identity, he will not let Ciri die easily in Winterfell!

Looking at the upright Duke in front of him, Ciri was deeply moved, but he still shook his head and explained:

"No! You don't know how terrible those guys who chased me are..."

"There's nothing wrong with it, you can rest in peace and recuperate in the city during this time, and don't worry about the rest.

After your injury has almost recovered, I will arrange a caravan to take you to the south. "

Before Ciri could finish speaking, Ned pushed open the door and was about to leave. At the same time, he turned around and comforted Ciri:
"Don't worry, I will have the servants bring the food and daily water, and leave the assassin's affairs to me."

slap~
Seeing Ned close the door and leave without hesitation, Ciri stood there stupidly, apparently not expecting things to develop into what they are now.

But thinking about it carefully, the wound on her injury has not completely healed now, even if she can open the portal to leave this world now, it is still difficult to escape from the pursuit of the Wild Hunt.

How about... just like Duke Ned said, let's recuperate first, right?
After leaning against the wall and slowly lying back on the bed, Ciri couldn't help touching the witcher pendant on his chest, and then slowly closed his eyes.

There is no way, now that she has just recovered from her serious injuries, even the weapons have been taken away by the people who rescued her, and she is obviously not going to return them to herself in a short time.

Fortunately, the Duke named Ned didn't have any malice towards her, and it's okay to stay here temporarily to recuperate.

I just hope that Wild Hunt won't come after him so soon...

————A few days later, Pande Continent, Emperor Lingang

"This is really... Spectacular!"

"As expected of the legendary 'Son of Prophecy' who can unify Pendor, only such a huge battleship is qualified to be worthy of His Majesty Rohan's status?"

"Lots of dragons! Lady of the Mist, I've seen at least a few hundred flying dragons circling!"

……

Countless human warriors are looking at the floating island battleship on the sea level in the distance in shock, constantly sighing and exclaiming.

They are all young soldiers who have just arrived in Emperor Lingang. Although they may not be able to compare with those experienced veterans in terms of combat skills, they cannot be underestimated in terms of morale and physical strength.

After all, even Drucci soldiers who have not received the blessing of the Mist Lady will feel very weak when facing more than two Pendor servants.

After nearly a month of assembly, more than 30 selected Pande fighters have gathered in the outskirts of Dilingang, covering almost the entire outskirts of Dilingang.

If it weren't for Daario's foresight and spending a lot of money and painstaking efforts to build infrastructure in advance, I'm afraid the city would have been full of filth and the stench was unbearable!
But even so, the total number of Pandor auxiliary troops exceeding 40 is enough to overload all the facilities in the city.

If we don't set off as soon as possible, it is estimated that the mountains of domestic garbage will be enough to completely submerge the city!
