The young girl nodded her head in a half-understanding manner.
She remembered that her father had said something similar.
To sum it up, it was probably a problem that would damage the lord's reputation.
Even if the matter had nothing to do with her, she could not help but feel a little guilty.
"By the way, what's your name?" Li Yi suddenly asked.
"Ah?" The girl was stunned for a moment before she recovered and replied,"Jaina, my name is Jaina Rakva.”
"Yes, it's a good name." Li Yi said politely.
In fact, he felt that it was a little difficult to remember.
However, there was nothing he could do about it. Most of the regions on the Wind Continent were dominated by western surnames from his previous life.
Only when they reached the Central Mainland would there be more Eastern surnames and faces.
"What about you?" Jaina asked carefully.
"You can just call me Li Yi."
"Respected Lord Li Yi." Jaina didn't dare to be so casual. She was already very lucky that she was safe and sound in someone else's territory. She had to pay attention to etiquette at all times. She couldn't get carried away, so she naturally had to use honorifics.
Li Yi didn't care so much and changed the topic.""I'm curious about something."
"Please ask," Jaina hurriedly replied.”
"Why did that so-called Lord of Stormwind City send people to capture you?”
" This…" Jaina lowered her head and hesitated.
"It's fine, just say it. Let's not talk about whether I can help or not, just say that I want to gossip from the perspective of a bystander. After all, who would be curious if they knew that a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl was wanted by a lord of a large territory?”Li Yi laughed.
Jaina looked up at Li Yi's smile and hurriedly lowered her head.
It was really beautiful.
And she looked so gentle.
He even saved his life. It shouldn't be a problem to tell him, right?
Perhaps he could really help?
After hesitating for a long time, Jaina took a deep breath as if she had made up her mind. She slowly said,"Because my father is the lord of the Dark Night Castle, and also the archenemy of the Lord of Stormwind City.”
"Oh? Then why are you being hunted outside? As the daughter of a mortal enemy, shouldn't she stay in her father's territory? How did he get the chance?" Li Yi asked.
"Because my father is on the verge of death. The Lord of Stormwind City used a trick to kill my father's army of 200,000 soldiers and destroyed half of the gold mines in my father's territory, causing the strength of the Dark Night Castle to decrease greatly. The Lord of Stormwind City took this opportunity to lead his army to surround the Dark Night Castle. However, my father could still hold on for a while because he had a defensive strategic treasure. However, this was not a long-term solution. It was only a matter of time before the Dark Night Castle was breached. My father knew that he couldn't escape this calamity, so he sent someone to send me out of the territory overnight.”
"Unexpectedly, the Lord of Stormwind City somehow got hold of the news of my escape. He couldn't break through my father's Dark Night Castle in a short period of time, but he didn't dare to attack. He was even more worried that if he delayed, my father would find a chance to turn things around. Therefore, he sent people to capture me and wanted to use my life to threaten my father.”
Jaina explained as she began to sob.
Tears rolled down her delicate cheeks, making one feel pity for her.
Li Yi sighed," What a tragic encounter."”
"Thank you very much for saving my life. In order not to burden you, I will leave this place in a while. I'm really grateful." Jaina stood up, wiped away the tears in her eyes, and bowed deeply.
"Then where are you going?" Li Yi asked.
"I don't know. At least it's a place where you can't find Stormwind City anymore. Then, you can hide your identity and live.”Jaina was a little hesitant, her eyes filled with confusion about the future.
"Oh, in that case, why don't you just stay in my territory?”
Stunned, Jaina hurriedly shook her head.""This won't do. It'll drag you down!"
Li Yi smiled." Don't worry. Even if Stormwind City is the overlord of the Silverwind Ridge, if he dares to reach his hand into the Stormwind Forest, I'll chop off his hand."”
"But…"
"No buts. My territory is very safe. Besides, I never said I couldn't help you.”Li Yi's gaze was somewhat meaningful.
"You…you mean you can help me? Are you referring to helping my father?" Jaina immediately became excited.
"Yes, but this will take time. After all, the Silverwind Ridge area is not my territory. I will need some preparation to get involved in the matters there. Moreover, I know nothing about the military strength of Storm City.”Li Yi said very casually.
For some reason, Jaina suddenly had a feeling that Li Yi did not put Stormwind City in his eyes.
What exactly was his confidence?
Was it because of that giant dragon?
Jaina recalled the shock she felt when she saw the dragon slaughter thousands of dragon knights before she was rescued.
Maybe it really could!
"I'm really grateful to you!" Jaina bowed deeply.
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. I'm not done yet.”Li Yi took a sip of tea and said slowly," I am a feudal lord, and everything cannot be separated from the word 'benefit'. Let me say this first. What I want to help is to ensure your father's life. When we defeat Stormwind City, your father's territory will belong to me.”
Hearing this, Jaina was stunned and started to struggle.
To her father, the territory was perhaps more important than his life.
But to her, her father's life was far more important than the territory.
It might be selfish to do so, but as long as he could live, what couldn't he do all over again?
Jaina quickly thought it through and nodded, her eyes filled with determination."Good! As long as you can save my father's life, I don't care about the territory!”
"It's useless if you don't care. After the matter is done, if your father doesn't agree, I will still take the territory in my own way, understand?”Li Yi said seriously.
"Understood!" Jaina took a deep breath.
"Very good. Remember your promise. If anything happens, even if you blame me, I won't stop.”
"I will remember that!"
"Hmm, then let's talk about your father's Dark Night Castle. How long can it last and what about the remaining troops?”
Jaina thought for a moment and said," Before I escaped, I heard my father mention it to me. Calculating the time, I can probably hold on for another 15 days or so. The remaining troops are less than 100,000, mainly grade-8 troops.”
"What about Stormwind City?"
"There are at least 300,000 soldiers attacking my father's territory, and the main soldiers are also grade 8.”
"Okay, I understand. You can go down first. Let the messenger lead the way for you. Find the elven priest named Tina, and she will assign you a place to stay.”Li Yi rubbed his chin out of habit and began to think.
Hearing this, Jaina tactfully said goodbye and left.
Before she left, there was hope in her eyes.
After she left, Helena, who had been quietly waiting at the side, finally spoke.""Master, are you planning to enter other regions?”
"Yes, after all, such a good opportunity is right in front of us. First, we can start annexing the Dark Night Castle. We can also use this opportunity to severely injure the other overlord's territory.”Li Yi laughed.
" Master could have made more requests just now," Helena thought." She wouldn't have refused."”Helena's words were a little vague, but they were not difficult to understand.
"That kind of thing, you have to be in love with each other. How inferior would a person be to play such a dirty trick?”Li Yi's lips curled into a smile. It seemed to be filled with disdain and disdain.
Helena nodded in agreement.
The admiration in his eyes grew even stronger.
Master is getting more and more charming.
