"This is not a good sign... A few days ago, I also hunted down two wyverns that were scouting this area, and now another one has come. It seems the Dragon Race has started to pay attention to this area," Arashi said. Arashi had mentioned this to Ellie before, so Ellie knew.
"What about the dragon's corpse? Didn't you dispose of it?" Arute seemed to notice this point and asked quite eagerly.
"Ah... I forgot. Besides, it was such a big dragon, and we still have so many injured here, so we came back first," the uncle said, scratching his head.
"Since that's the case, Uncle, gather a few more people to go and deal with the dragon's corpse together. Arashi and Sierxia Na will also go. Miss Bai Xia and Miss Livyathan, I'll trouble you to watch the house." Arute gave instructions, and the others whose names were called nodded, then followed Arute out.
It seems there's nothing for her to do again, Ellie thought, a bit displeased.
This is good too; it's good to be able to delay for a while longer.
Currently, the humans here only have a simple foothold. Talking about establishing their own country is still very far off; they first need to deal with the Dragon King of this area.
However, with so many subordinates disappearing in this area, anyone with a bit of sense should know there's a problem here!
Sooner or later, the Dragon King who manages this area will be drawn over. It depends on the strength of the Dragon King. If it's a super strong one, they'll directly use Downfall of Castle and Country. If it's a weak one, they'll just beat it to death.
After all, there are five max-level players and one second-time transmigrator here. Isn't it simple to deal with a Dragon King together?
Hehehe! It seems everything is still within her plan. Thinking of this, Ellie couldn't help but feel happy again.
Just as Ellie was thinking this, her gaze fell upon the mother and daughter who were still waiting for her. Oh! She almost forgot about these two.
"Sorry to keep you waiting... So, what do you need me for?" Perhaps because she was in a happy mood, Ellie momentarily forgot her "full of majesty" Great Demon persona and asked the mother and daughter in a very kind and approachable manner.
"That... it's not me who needs to see Lord Bai Xia Liyi... it's my daughter, that... we've disturbed you," the mother said timidly.
From the initial fear she showed, this mother was now less reserved in front of Ellie.
Perhaps after seeing Ellie "diligently" treating the injured, she had implicitly acknowledged in her heart that Lord Bai Xia Liyi was indeed, as rumors circulated, a good person who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
"It's alright! So, little sister without a name, do you need me for something?" Ellie heard her, then looked down at the Little Girl who was now very energetic.
Compared to their first meeting, the Little Girl's complexion indeed looked much rosier than before.
"Here... Lord Bai Xia." The Little Girl handed over a small, woven flower wreath. Before Ellie could react, her mother said, a bit nervously,
"Lord Bai Xia Liyi... please don't mind, this... this child..."
"Oh! It's well-woven, did you make this yourself?" Ellie, of course, wouldn't mind such things. Besides, Ellie still felt a trace of guilt towards this Little Sister.
After all, she had used her to test her abilities back then, and she hadn't even given her the snacks she promised!
"That auntie taught me how to make it..." The Little Sister pointed to Livyathan, who was standing nearby.
"Au... Auntie... I... Auntie... Indeed, compared to Bai Xia, I am an auntie. You can't blame my appearance, can you? I originally thought that a character in the game should exude a bit of mature charm, so I sculpted her this way... If only I had known, I would have made a teenage girl... Who would have known I would transmigrate?!" Livyathan, who was nearby, instantly turned to stone, then directly turned her back and muttered to herself softly.
Uh... that was indeed a critical hit. Ellie, however, felt quite sympathetic towards her.
"Then thank you. Also, as a token of gratitude and apology." Ellie took the flower wreath woven by the Little Girl, then took out some pastries she had brought from the Slane Theocracy from her spatial pocket.
These were the ones she had tricked from Dark Scripture Jeros back then. Most of them had been given to the children in the orphanage, but of course, she still kept a little bit for herself.
Looking at the white, dumpling-like object Ellie offered, the Little Sister, who had never seen the world, had no idea what it was. She just looked at the Sticky Rice Cake-like pastry in Ellie's hand with some hesitation.
"Take it! It's very delicious, as an apology for last time and a thank you for this flower wreath."
Ellie then noticed that the Little Girl probably didn't know this thing was edible, so she repeated herself.
The Little Girl looked up at her mother, who nodded before the Little Girl dared to take the pastry from Ellie's hand and took a bite. Immediately, the Little Sister's expression brightened even more.
"Has this child not been named yet?" Seeing the child happily eating, Ellie also felt a little relieved, so she casually asked.
"Not yet... I'm not very good at that..." the mother replied, a bit troubled.
"Then you should have a name, right? Base it on your name, you're her mother!" Ellie suggested.
"Then... could I trouble Lord Bai Xia Liyi to name this child?" the mother asked.
"Alright, I guess... What's your name then?" Ellie thought for a moment. Although she had indeed inherited Father Ainz's talent for not naming things, she should be able to name her daughter based on someone else's name, right?
"Lord Bai Xia Liyi, please forgive my presumption, my name is Remia Ryle Vanseff." The mother smiled somewhat shyly.
"Hmm... Let me think... Remia Ryle Vanseff, huh... Hmm??" Ellie suddenly felt like she had heard that surname somewhere before, then looked up at the mother with a surprised expression.
"Ah... Is something wrong, Lord Bai Xia Liyi?" The mother asked, looking at Ellie with curiosity.
This mother, with her golden hair and beautiful face, looked somewhat... familiar? No way?? Ellie suddenly had a very bad feeling in her heart, then looked down and observed the Little Sister, who was happily munching on the snack, more closely.
"Then... can your daughter be named Renner Ryle Vanseff?" Ellie said seriously after carefully examining the Little Girl's face.
"Renner... Renner Ryle Vanseff. Thank you, Lord Bai Xia Liyi." The mother bowed very politely to Ellie.
Could such a coincidence really happen? She almost wiped out the ancestors of the Re-Estize Kingdom?
Ellie looked at the Little Sister, whose appearance bore a slight resemblance to Golden Princess Renner, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry...
