Chapter 482 Boss, do you want a date?
"Crack~~"
The dry branches in the forest swayed in the wind. Hearing the noise, Ciri woke up from her coma and found herself hanging in the air.
She was tied up with a strange pure white rope that was not only tough but also sticky.
The way of tying it was also quite peculiar. It started by folding it in the middle, putting it around her slender neck, and then tying knots at the clavicle, sternum, and pubic bone in sequence.
Then, the rope end is passed around the crotch and tied into a knot slightly above the back, passed through the rope ring behind the neck, pulled to the left and right, and then wrapped back from the armpit to the hole in front of the chest, and pulled to the left and right to form a diamond-shaped braided pattern.
Finally, the rope was tied around her waist and the end was hung on a tree branch. The rope across her thighs dug deep into her buttocks, as if fixing the human body into some kind of evil work of art, which brought a weird sense of torture.
If Ciri knew about future culture, she might understand that this art is called [Rope Skills], also known as [Bondage].
What is trapping her right now is a classic Japanese and Korean technique - the tortoise shell bondage.
Ciri struggled several times but couldn't break free. Her body swayed left and right due to gravity, and the knots kept rubbing against some sensitive parts of her body, causing this naive girl to blush and look at the culprit below with gritted teeth:
"mean!"
"It was you who attacked me first."
Lorne retorted with a smile, playing with the items he had looted from Ciri.
There were a lot of things, including dry food to fill the stomach, flint for making fire, talismans to ward off evil spirits, a small bag of silver coins, a few bottles of magic potions, and so on.
Among them, the most precious are undoubtedly the two swords she originally carried on her back.
The steel sword gleamed coldly and was quite sharp, with strong cutting and penetrating capabilities. The forging technique seemed to be that of a dwarf.
The silver sword is dexterous and exquisite, with intricate elven characters engraved on both sides. It has effects such as freezing, instant death and sealing, and should be made by elves.
Although Loen looked down upon these weapons and equipment, for humans, each one was a priceless treasure and could be treated as a family heirloom.
"Tell me why you came to this godforsaken place, Miss Ciri?"
Loen stroked the amulet stone engraved with the girl's real name and spoke with a smile.
"Why should I tell you?"
Ciri snorted in response, then glared at Rose beside Lorne fiercely, her face full of contempt.
"You actually collaborated with the slave traders. You are simply a scum among the elves!"
By the way, Ciri is not a pure-blooded human.
Her ancestor Laura Doron was not only a gifted elven sage, but also the biological daughter of an elven king and of noble birth. However, for love, she broke off her engagement and eloped with a human wizard.
Perhaps because of her elven blood, she was not punished by the dryads after entering the Brokilon Forest. Instead, she attracted the sorceress Yennefer, who also had elven blood.
Due to various reasons, Ciri, who had received help from the elves, naturally became very friendly to the elves. She couldn't bear to see them become slaves who lost their freedom, so she chose to sneak attack a "slave trader" at night and tried to rescue two innocent elven slave girls from him.
Unexpectedly, when she was careless, she was attacked from behind by a dark elf who was trying to rescue her.
Sure enough, the character of the dark elves is as bad and despicable as the legend says!
"She's scolding you."
Lorne turned his head to look to the side and gave a "kind" reminder.
Rose understood what he meant and raised her right hand with a grim smile. A purple-black whip made of magic power appeared in her palm, with intimidating thorns growing on both sides.
If he were to be whipped, a piece of flesh would surely be torn off.
Seeing this, Xili's face changed and her body trembled slightly.
Fortunately, Lorne, who was standing next to him, raised a hand to hold down Rose, who was eager to try, and gently blamed her:
"Ah~! How rude! How can you treat a little girl like this? She has good intentions and has your elf blood in her body, so she is more or less one of your kind."
However, Rose's face turned even darker when she heard this:
"Of the same race? Is the bastard Laura worthy of being a member of that bitch's family?"
"You are not allowed to insult my ancestors!"
Ciri was furious and struggled to break free to argue with the dark elf below.
But her resistance was not only futile, but also made the knots on her body tighter and tighter, further highlighting her pretty good figure.
But at this moment, Loen had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery on the tree. He looked at Rose in surprise, who seemed to be really angry, and asked quietly in his mind:
"Do you know her ancestor?"
"More than knowing each other!"
Rose snorted coldly and told Loen the secret of the elves' past that had been hidden.
At first, she was not only the mistress of the dark elves, but also had some believers among the light elves. Therefore, she had no intention of exterminating the light elves, but just hoped to resolve the conflict and bridge the rift between the two races in another way.
After a moment's thought, Luo En had the answer in his mind:
"Marriage?"
“That’s right!”
Rose nodded and continued to talk about the past.
The marriage partner she chose from the light elves was the famous elf princess Laura Doron.
Rose hopes to merge the two elven tribes into one through the fusion of their bloodlines, so that there will no longer be a distinction between light elves and dark elves in the world.
I have to say, this is a pretty feasible strategy.
In order to achieve a smooth reconciliation between the two races, Rose also gave the Elf Princess Laura Doron a trace of the power of destiny that she had stolen with great difficulty, allowing her to become a sage and thereby see a certain future for the elves.
——The White Frost Era!
This is also known as the "Last Age" or the "Wolf Blizzard" in the secret history of the elves.
It is said that this world of the Age of Gods had serious flaws when it was first created, and therefore it would eventually be destroyed.
There will be many signs before the start of the last era. Some sources mention that a wolf will devour the sun and the moon will have a lunar eclipse. Then the world will usher in three long winters, and Ragnark - the final battle and the battle between light and darkness will begin.
At the beginning of the war, a long ship named Najirfar will appear, with its hull made of dead people's claws and carrying an army of demons and devils. The golden cock will crow loudly, announcing the coming of the end of the world to the nine kingdoms, and then the rainbow bridge Bifust will open, and the Aesir will descend to fight the nine kingdoms in chaos.
The elves are not immune and will join this final battle, which will determine whether the world will be shrouded in eternal night or a new dawn will come.
To this end, the elves need to create their own savior to survive this crisis.
It is for this reason that Rose, the goddess of elves who has touched [fate], tries her best to promote the marriage and promote the reconciliation between the light elves and the dark elves.
However, in the end, the elf princess Laura Doron, who was chosen and inherited the [Power of Destiny], betrayed her engagement and her own race because of the so-called love.
After hearing this, Luo En's heart was filled with shock.
The Age of White Frost? Isn't this just the elven version of Ragnarok?
It turns out that not only Odin saw the predetermined future, but Rose also noticed it.
However, fate was not on the side of the elves. All her efforts were in vain under the trick of fate, and she herself was degraded into an evil god due to disqualification. The elves themselves were split up, some became vassals of the Aesir, and some were forced to live underground.
The reason for all this was just a flight from marriage for "love".
No wonder she is so hostile to Ciri, it turns out it’s all an old grudge.
Luo En didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said softly:
"Don't get excited. Although Laura Doron is gone, the bloodline she left behind may not be unable to become the savior of the elves."
"No, in my heart, you are our savior!"
Rose answered righteously, then glanced at the enemy's daughter hanging on the tree and said contemptuously,
"As for her, if you like, you can use her as an X slave."
Hearing the vicious words in his mind, Luo En couldn't help but sweat on his forehead and shook his head quickly to refuse.
According to elven legend, Rose has gone mad since she was transformed from the mistress of the elves into a goddess in the form of a spider.
Although he didn't know what Rose's current mental state was, Ron was sure that this woman was sick, and her illness was serious.
After all, if you want to find a savior for the elves, you can't look for anyone else but him.
Because according to the records in the Poetic Edda and the prophecies of the Age of White Frost, the ship of the dead named Najirfar that blew the horn of doom was helmed by the evil god Loki himself.
That's right, it's him.
The only way to answer this question perfectly is to... let him and Ciri have a child?
A flash of inspiration flashed through Loen's mind, and he turned his head to look at Rose on the side, muttering to himself.
Could this be her purpose?
Noticing the gaze from her boss, Rose seemed to understand something. She picked up the thorn whip and walked towards the hanging Ciri with a grin.
At this moment, due to the constant struggle, the spider silk with a certain corrosive effect has gradually dissolved Ciri's outer clothes, and deeply penetrated into her chest and groin, revealing a certain kind of sadistic beauty.
When she saw the dark elf, known for his cruelty and treachery, approaching with a whip in hand, Ciri instinctively trembled and turned pale.
Seeing that Rose had misunderstood, Lorne quickly raised his hand to stop her:
"Too brutal. Torture also requires skills. Causing physical pain is only the lowest form of torture. We have eaten their food after all. We should be more civilized."
"So what do you mean?"
Rose lowered her head and humbly accepted the instruction.
"Don't you like raising spiders? Give a few to this little girl to cheer her up." Loen replied with a smile, his tone full of ill intentions.
Rose suddenly came to her senses and raised her hand slightly. Dozens of colorful, fist-sized spiders emerged from the magic circle under her feet, climbed up the tree trunk like a tide, and jumped onto Ciri along the spider silk.
Some fell on her shoulders, some got into her clothes, and some even crawled directly onto Ciri’s face…
As we all know, these terrifying-looking insects have always been extremely intimidating to women.
Looking at the terrifying purple spider on her nose and its black steel hair, Ciri's face quickly lost color and she couldn't help but let out a shrill scream.
Lorne picked his ears and waited until Ciri's lung capacity was exhausted before waving his hand to dismiss a few of the most mischievous spiders. He smiled and said:
"So, now you can tell me why you came here?"
"Because, because of a commission. I accepted a mission, and the destination is near here."
Ciri answered tremblingly, almost crying.
As a pampered princess, she had never experienced such a terrible thing in her life. How could she withstand so many terrifying-looking insects crawling all over her face and body?
Anyway, it's just an insignificant question and information, so just say it yourself, there's no need to force yourself.
Seeing the little princess, who had originally refused to surrender, suddenly burst into tears and gave the answer honestly, Rose couldn't help but admire the boss beside her.
Look, it’s heart-wrenching but not physically harmful, that’s what professionalism is!
Sure enough, her previous interrogation work was too rough, and she still needs to learn more from this adult in the future.
Lorne was completely unaware that he had been labeled a "pervert" and an "evil god" and continued to ask Ciri, who was no longer defensive:
"So, do you know the way to Heathland?"
"Yes, I will go to the tavern on Heath Island to take over after completing this mission."
Ciri answered while sobbing, completely losing her previous heroic look.
"Then you should have said it earlier."
Lorne looked at Ciri reproachfully and said in a gentle voice,
"Don't worry, we are just asking for directions, we don't mean any harm. I'm not a slave trader, otherwise why would I be so polite to you?"
As he said this, he signaled Rose to untie the spider web and put Ciri down.
As her body landed on the ground, Ciri gradually suppressed her fear, mustered up her courage, and asked doubtfully:
"What about Galadriel?"
Because she was resentful of a dark elf who had attacked and abused her, Ciri deliberately did not mention Rose in her questioning.
"She is my friend. I invited her to visit the courtyard." Lorne answered with a mixture of truth and falsehood. He also helped Rose beside him to wash. "As for Rose, you don't have to worry. She is a follower of Eilistraee whom I rescued from the dark elves' lair. She is different from those evil dark elves. She has nowhere to go at the moment and is responsible for being my guard."
As he spoke, Loen took out several items he had brought out from the dark elf's lair and asked Ciri to check them.
With the support of Rose, a master of acting, Ciri quickly dispelled her doubts and sincerely apologized to Lorne for her recklessness.
Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Lorne also showed his generosity and tolerance at the right time:
"You have good intentions, and I admire your sense of justice. How about this, don't you have to complete the commission before returning to Heath Island to hand it over? The three of us will help too! After we finish dealing with things here, we will go back to Heath Island together?"
“Will it be too much trouble for you?” Ciri was hesitant but also a little excited.
To be honest, this was her first time traveling far away, and although her swordsmanship was pretty good, she was seriously lacking in experience.
This dark elf and human seemed to be veterans and quite capable. If they could help, this mission would be almost a sure success.
It was just that he misunderstood the other person as soon as he met, and then he put a sword to the neck of this innocent person in the middle of the night, which was a bit rude.
"It's okay. I'm just on my way." Lorne smiled and waved his hand, winking and joking, "Besides, you can confirm on the way whether I am a slave trader or not."
Hearing this, Ciri lowered her head in shame, and took the confiscated weapons and items from Lorne with a little embarrassment.
However, when she was putting the two swords on her back, the movement was too large and the clothes that had been corroded by the spider silk could no longer support it. They tore apart with a "swish", revealing a large area of snow-white skin and delicate collarbone.
"You guys got up so early? Gathering here to do..."
At this moment, Galadriel came over rubbing her sleepy eyes. The moment she opened her eyes and saw the situation clearly, the sound stopped abruptly.
"This has nothing to do with me, it's Luo..."
Just as Loen was about to pass the blame on, he saw that the Spider Goddess, who was supposed to do the dirty work and take the blame, had disappeared before him. His face darkened and he met Galadriel's vigilant and contemptuous gaze with depression.
After a lengthy explanation and Ciri's testimony, Galadriel finally put away her contempt for Lorne.
Then she took off her coat, wrapped Ciri's almost naked body, led her into the tent, changed her clothes, and whispered to her inside.
It was not until the sun had risen completely that the two women packed their luggage, walked out of the tent hand in hand, and prepared to set off.
Rose, who had disappeared before, reappeared at some point and shamelessly squeezed into the group of girls. With her excellent acting skills, she quickly resolved the conflict and chatted and laughed with the girls all the way.
Left behind at the end, Loen could only smile helplessly, stood up and followed the three people, walking towards the village in the distance.
