Neighbors in forbidden land

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely awkward.

The entire camp had probably never been so quiet even when they were resting, as if even the sound of flames burning firewood had been lost in the silence.

Everyone's eyes were attracted by the sudden appearance of His Royal Highness Yimi. Except that most people here have never seen what His Royal Highness Yimi looks like, I guess it is more because everyone is attracted by His Royal Highness Yimi. Appearance shocked.

Our side is basically a group of mercenaries and adventurers, and we have traveled thousands of miles to the forbidden land. We basically dress in practical clothes with simple armor, not to mention crawling in this land. After rolling for too long, most of the mercenaries who didn't care much about their clothes were dusty on their faces and clothes.

In fact, after comparison, it was discovered that His Royal Highness Yimi's condition was actually not good.

Compared with us, His Royal Highness Yimi already looks very tidy, but there is still no way to conceal the fact that she is indeed the person who has lived in this land for the longest time. No matter how much she pays attention to her appearance, her body, Her temperament is still full of traces of barrenness.

In this land, everyone is actually... all the same.

But she still came to us aggressively with an incomparably dazzling light...begging for potatoes...

"I seemed to hear someone asking who I am just now. I just hope that the voice can be quieter when asking questions. I just can't see with my eyes, not my ears." His Highness Yimi lightly dusted himself. , with a confident smile on his face, "My name is Yimi, there is no need for other introductions, because it no longer belongs to me."

After His Royal Highness Yimi finished speaking, the silence of the camp was broken in an instant, and whispers came from all directions.

"This little girl is that Yimi? The eldest princess?"

"Who else but her! Are there other humans in this land besides us?"

Although they were all deliberately lowering their voices, the excitement and shock in their words still couldn't be concealed.

"I'm sorry!" The team leader clenched his fists and made a gesture of "acceptance". "I'm just a mercenary. Please forgive me if I offend the eldest princess in terms of etiquette."

His Highness Yimi sighed helplessly at the title "Eldest Princess", but he did not correct the leader's words like he corrected me, but he still called himself "Eldest Princess".

"your name?"

"Yan." So your name is Yan, the team leader?I didn't know until now.

By the way, some people around me showed expressions similar to mine, "So that's the name of the team leader." I always felt that I was thinking too much.

"Yan? What a strange name." His Royal Highness Yimi expressed her feelings directly, which elicited a burst of laughter from the team leader.

"Haha, many people say that."

"It matches your voice really well."

"Then I'd better keep my voice down."

His Highness Yimi reminded the team leader to control the volume from the side, and the team leader also grasped His Highness Yimi's meaning with interest, and his voice became softer.

"So..." the team leader continued to ask, "I don't know what the eldest princess said about returning the potatoes?"

"What's going on?" Yimi sneered, "The potatoes that I worked so hard to grow were taken away without my consent... What do you want to do?"

"Is there?" The leader just turned his head casually, but as if remembering something, he moved his eyes to the fire... those potatoes that had been baked, and frowned.

"It seems to be there." The leader moved his gaze to the mercenaries who were roasting potatoes. They all stood up now and put the potatoes by the fire, without looking directly into the leader's eyes.

"Well, it seems that my members have taken the potatoes of Her Highness the Princess without permission. I apologize to Her Highness the Princess on behalf of them, and ask Her Highness to forgive me."

"Since just now, you have been the only one talking...you can still represent them..." His Royal Highness Yimi frowned slightly, "Are you the team leader?"

"Exactly."

"What are you doing here?"

I remember that I told His Royal Highness Yimi the purpose of our coming here, but His Royal Highness Yimi asked again.

"..." The always heroic team leader also fell silent when faced with this question. As expected, if facing His Royal Highness Yimi, even the team leader would put on a different look from usual.

In contrast, Li Le also stood beside me motionless. Although I couldn't see the face under the hood, I always felt that Li Le should also be staring at His Royal Highness Yimi.

After all, they have already met once, and the team leader's reaction now is probably because he knew something about His Royal Highness Yimi through etiquette and music.

By the way, I didn't see Little Heimei and the others. Is it because they really don't want to show up on this kind of occasion?

A large part of the reason why many people did not speak here is that the atmosphere of the conversation between His Royal Highness Yimi and the team leader is really difficult to interrupt. If you add the little black sister and the others... I always feel that this place will not be so quiet.

It will definitely explode.

Of course, there may be another reason why they are so quiet.

In addition to the emotions of shock and doubt, there is more or less another emotion in their eyes.

fear.

The magic that His Royal Highness Yimi can take the lives of others with sight has always been something between truth and rumors for us. In fact, although I have never seen it, I have no doubts.As for these people, the fact that His Highness Yimi has kept his eyes closed since just now seems to make them more sure that the rumor is not a rumor.

I seem to see someone secretly trying to hide.

"Why, it's not like they were exiled here too, right?" At this time, Her Highness Yimi had a self-deprecating expression on her face, and the word "also" was bitten hard by her.

"We have no intention of offending the eldest princess, please don't misunderstand anything." The team leader had a helpless expression on his face, "We came here because of a mission." "Okay... I don't care what mission you are on , I don’t want to care about it either.” His Royal Highness Yimi spread his hands, his tone was light but with an invisible firmness, “I just care about...where are my potatoes?”

Yimi's question made the team leader's face look a bit uneasy, and the team leader must also be hesitating whether to tell the truth.

I could see the leader's gray-white eyebrows were tightened, obviously there was no danger, and the muscles all over his body accumulated strength in an instant.

But at the next moment, the team leader relaxed again, and said firmly: "I'm sorry, I've been roasted."

Although the actions of those people were not so fast that they roasted all the potatoes, they couldn't say to His Highness Yimi, "There are still some left"...

"Hey..." The corners of His Highness Yimi's mouth curled up, "And then?"

"We will use our supplies in exchange, and make a solemn apology to you, the eldest princess."

"and then?"

"...If you have anything else you need, princess, please feel free to tell me." The leader lowered his head slightly. To be honest, I thought the leader was really a "big old rough mercenary" as he himself said, but now It seems that those hideous scars on his body not only polished his body, but also his heart.

"Where's the guy who stole my potatoes?"

"It's me!" As soon as His Royal Highness Yimi's voice fell, one of the mercenaries who took the potato rushed to a position ahead of the leader, and shouted at His Royal Highness Yimi, "As for talking to people like this? speak!"

At this moment, everyone's eyes were attracted by him, and there was a loud noise in the camp.

Various voices, various expressions.

"Aren't you just a little girl who hasn't grown up? I am indeed wrong, but don't rely on your own status to dictate to others. The most annoying thing is the face of you royal family, isn't it because you were born well?" Isn't it superior to others!"

"That's enough, don't say a few words!" The team leader quickly pressed the mercenary's shoulder, but he didn't seem to listen to persuasion.

"Didn't you just take some potatoes! It's not worth a lot of money!"

He stared angrily at His Royal Highness Yimi's face. His reasons were a bit confusing, but it was obvious that he felt that His Royal Highness Yimi's attitude was not good.

The team leader called His Royal Highness Yimi the eldest princess because of respect. In fact, here, in this place far away from the imperial city, the identity of the eldest princess does not matter at all.

There was no expression on His Highness Yimi's face, he just sighed heavily and repeated his words:

"Isn't it just... I took some potatoes...?"

His Highness Yimi's body trembled a little, but he calmed down quickly, and his voice became very calm, as calm as the sea over there:

"I'm not talking to you because I'm a royal family. From the day I was thrown here, I'm no longer a princess." His Highness Yimi didn't give anyone a chance to reply, but just continued indifferently. Continue, "The reason I'm talking to you like this is because..."

His Royal Highness Yimi walked up to the mercenary slowly.

"I'm a local."

The next moment, His Royal Highness Yimi clapped his hands lightly.

In the south, something sounded, not obvious at first, but gradually it became a low roar.

"Sea! Sea!" I don't know who shouted such a sentence, when we turned around——

Seeing the turbulent sea surface in the distance, the blue sea water churned wildly, and then turned into a rising vortex more than ten meters long under the sun, and climbed onto the sea surface like a living thing.

Li Le directly opened the magic barrier, but the sea water bypassed the magic barrier like a living thing, and rushed towards the mercenary.

The team leader grabbed the mercenary and wanted to retreat, but the sea water turned into a sharp knife and flew towards the mercenary.

Then, there was a roar that enveloped the entire camp from the ground.

The only roar I've ever heard was that one from Calamitas by the docks.

Even if they were at a safe distance, the loud roar was extremely clear and trembled the eardrums.

And this time the roar was like a whisper of fear in the ear.

I don't know if it's because I'm afraid, or because I'm worried that Li Le will be afraid, I hugged her in an instant and held her tightly in my arms.

The rapidly dropping temperature around me made me a little confused, and the people around me were also in a mess.

The low temperature instantly overwhelmed my judgment, and I couldn't confirm what happened around me for a while.

When I came back to my senses, blue ice crystals covered the entire camp, blue ice cones were hung from the tents, and the ground was covered with white ice and snow, which froze together with the burning flames, as if covered with ice. With blue flowers, the whole camp is like a fairy tale shining in the sun.

The others either knelt down or got down on the ground, with ice-blue dust shining more or less on their bodies.

Unexpectedly, Liyue and I are fine, maybe... this is not an accident.

Rather, we were deliberately avoided.

After all, the team leader failed to pull the mercenary out of the frozen sea water, but fortunately, the man did not die, but was locked by the frozen sea water and fell to the ground, leaving only his head to move.

And the only leader who was still standing had been pushed several meters away by the ice wall.

"This is my attitude towards guys who take away other people's things without permission and ignore the fruits of other people's labor. You should know that as long as you stand on this beach..." Her Highness Yimi, who was completely fine, leaned over and lay on the ground. The frightened mercenary on the ground smiled, "...you don't count what you say, but I do."

Then His Highness Yimi smiled lightly: "I will ask you for the compensation for Potato later, I am not in the mood now, so write it down first."

Afterwards, His Royal Highness Yimi shook off his long hair, turned and left the camp.

After the pale orange and black figures disappeared into the distance——

"Damn... what else can I say..."

"Did you see that just now?"

"Don't say you saw it... ah, it's so cold, my body is covered in ice..."

"What a strong eldest princess, with supreme beauty and strength, she is simply the queen of this land...I have to write today's events into poetry..."

"You guy who plays the piano, give me a break, don't you feel cold!" "If there is nothing wrong, get up and break the ice! Clean up the camp!"

These are the things I feel the most about.

"How long are you going to hug?"

When I heard this faint voice, I realized that my arms were softer than before.

"Sorry!" I let go of my embrace hastily, looking at Liyue who straightened the folds on the cloak in bewilderment.

Just now, I subconsciously hugged her... Uh.

"Why did you make such a move?"

"Uh, that's...subconsciously..."

"Do you think you can protect me if something really happens?"

"..."

"Next time when you make such a reckless act, I hope you can consider your actual ability."

"This is just because..."

"Thank you."

"……you are welcome."

————————————————————————————————————————

"Uh uh uh uh...it's so cold... Lan Xue, you've gone too far...you just need to freeze that person..."

"Don't demand such a high level of human beings, I have already spoken very lightly, otherwise I will freeze the lives of those guys together."

"Okay...it's cold..."

"The little fairy's flames don't seem to be enough, Yimi, you can hug me to keep warm."

"I'll come, I'll come! You can hold me!"

"Be sure to use a different method next time...it's cold...it's so cold..."
