Otherwise, you can find another savior.

Shiomi picked up a smooth small stone from the shore and threw it into the lake, creating a series of ripples.

"The northern elves have had several conflicts with the Mirror Clan in the past, but as you've seen, the Mirror Clan lacks the will to fight and simply accepts things as they come," Shiomi said. "If the Mirror Clan hadn't actually accepted our protection, they would have been annexed by the northern clans long ago."

Therefore, once Queen Mab sees through this characteristic of the Mirror Clan, she will only leave a small number of troops to monitor the Mirror Clan, and then march south, making other clans the main targets.

After eliminating the other enemies, there is naturally no need to worry about the least threatening enemies.

There is no difference whether you surrender or fight to the end.

"East of the northern plains are forests and mountains, making it difficult to march." Jian also picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into the water in the same way as Shiomi.

However, she didn't master the trick, and the stone she threw bounced twice on the water before sinking into the river.

"No, the posture you're using isn't right." Xijian laughed and changed the subject from the battle back to the present. He walked over to Jian and placed another stone in her hand. "Adjust your breathing. Don't use your whole body to exert force. Instead, concentrate the force on your hands and rely on the strength of your wrist—"

Following Shiomi's instructions on how to adjust her body movements, Ash raised her arm slightly and threw the stone out as instructed.

This time it was a little better. The stone bounced up for the sixth time before sinking into the water because it had lost its strength.

"I did it!" Jian clapped his hands happily.

Xijian also laughed: "It's not difficult, you'll get the hang of it after playing it a few times."

"Yeah." Jian lowered his head and looked for a suitable stone on the river bank.

"Continuing from what we were talking about, Mab has only one route for this advance." Shiomi looked at the river. "I'm afraid she's been preparing for this long, and she's determined to conquer all of Britain."

"But we have to stop her." Ash pondered. "If she just wants to conquer other clans, that's fine. But if she wants to wipe out all of them... I don't agree with her idea."

"Besides, the Wing Clan has started to move, and the Wind Clan and the Earth Clan will soon receive the news and then send troops to Manchester." Shiomi said.

Suddenly, Jian raised his head and gazed at the northern sky. "It seems like the situation was similar the last time I intervened to mediate the war between the southern and northern goblins. It's a shame the strength of both sides is no longer what it used to be."

"Do you regret helping the northern goblins?" Xijian said.

"Rather, I want to ask my husband, do you regret it?" Jian shook her head. "You were the one who did everything back then. I was just a cold observer."

"How could that be?" Xi Jian laughed. "It's a matter of time and place. Besides the five existing clans, the northern goblins should also have the right to exist."

That's why he intervened in the dispute at that time and persuaded other clans to give up attacking the northern clan.

That would be more in line with Jian's ideas, otherwise Jian would definitely oppose it privately.

It's just that one thing grows while the other shrinks.

After 1,700 years of development, the northern goblins have gained enough strength to conquer the entire Britain.

"I haven't fought Mab since then, so I don't know how strong she is now." Ash thought thoughtfully, "Or maybe she didn't use her full strength back then..."

Because the misunderstanding was resolved quickly, Mab only showed off his skills slightly, and neither hurt Shiomi nor was he easily defeated by Shiomi.

It may seem that the two sides are evenly matched, but it may become a factor in misjudging the strength of both sides.

"A war is inevitable. We will know when we meet on the battlefield," said Shiomi.

"We can leave almost tomorrow," said Jian. "Time waits for no one."

Shiomi also expressed his concerns: "The recent unusual silence of the Fang clan has concerned me."

"Hey, Ash! Shiomi!"

Teterlot's voice came from the bridge.

"You're finally back. I thought you were planning to look at all the clothing stores in Gloucester." Jian said with a smile.

"Hehehe, I'm almost done shopping." Tetrot smiled sheepishly, "Gloucester's fabrics aren't very good. I can't make a wedding dress for Ash."

Jian already knew that she was going to make a wedding dress for herself. She was very happy, but she still had to persuade him:

"With the dark clouds of war hanging over Britain, I'm afraid even if I had good material, I wouldn't have time to make you a wedding dress."

"That's not a bad idea." Xi Jian said, "War needs to be faced squarely, but that doesn't mean we have to give up our own hobbies."

Jian sighed: "As expected of my husband, his mentality remains so stable."

"Since choosing the material is so difficult, why don't we just draw up a design first?" Teterlot pulled a small booklet out of his bag. "We bought a drawing book here, and some charcoal pencils for drawing."

"Can you draw? You're quite good at it." Xi Jian was not surprised.

Since they are fairies, it makes sense that they are born with talents related to their purpose.

"But since it's a wedding dress for Ash, we have to ask the bride and groom about their preferences," Tetrot said with a smile. "I'm very objective and won't just design it on my own."

"Paint here?" asked Jian.

"Of course not," said Teterlot. "I'll go back to the hotel and show you how good I am, so you won't doubt me."

Xijian and Jian looked at each other in confusion.

"No, we all still believe it. After all, you are such a fairy." Xijian said.

Tetrot came skipping behind Ash, pushed her toward the street, and called out to Xijian.

"Hehe, anyway, let's go back quickly. I can't wait to start writing."

Watching the two people walk up the embankment, Xijian turned his head and looked at the calm river surface.

Britain is like this river, calm on the surface but with undercurrents surging beneath.

Thinking this, he followed their pace.

Chapter 50: A Bouquet of Flowers with Kindness and Gratitude

Who is watching.

When they set out to leave Gloucester the next day, Ash and Shiomi each felt this gaze to varying degrees.

In fact, they were very conspicuous. The fairies and humans in the Wing Clan all knew that the savior Ash and her sages had come to this city.

He also took the opportunity to subdue Tetelot, the most violent fairy in the Wing Clan.

So it's not surprising that they always get a few glances on their way out of the city.

The problem is that this gaze does not contain any malice, but instead has a certain indescribable eagerness.

Mixed in with the goblins' various gazes, it was difficult to confirm.

It's just because it's quite special that they both care a little about it.

The saviors and their group had no intention of finding the source of the gaze, and they left Gloucester.

Then, this line of sight did not disappear. Instead, it became much easier to detect because there was no other sight interference.

"He followed me outside..." Xijian approached Jian and whispered.

"I felt it too." Just as Jian was about to turn around, Xi Jian raised his hand and touched his back.

"Don't look back, there is a forest ahead on this road." Xijian showed a funny expression.

Because there was no ill intention, he just thought it was a fairy with good intentions, or a fairy who was interested in their group.

Thus, they followed the main road into the woods and disappeared without a sound.

The goblin that was chasing them was startled. After running a few steps in confusion, it stopped and looked sad.

"Are you looking for us?" Shiomi's voice sounded from behind.

The goblin turned around in surprise, and then they also showed surprised expressions.

"Are you... the low-level goblin from the day before yesterday?" Tetrot recognized her.

Jian didn't quite understand. After all, he turned around and ran away the day before yesterday, and today he suddenly followed him all the way out of the city.

The red-haired fairy girl was still covered in dirt and wearing a tattered cloth skirt. There were still bruises and bloodstains on her face from being ravaged.

She noticed that Jian's expression was not very good, and she was so nervous that she almost cried: "I, I'm sorry... Savior... I didn't, I didn't mean to make you angry..."

Then, the fairy girl started crying with tears and snot.

"I'm not angry, I just don't understand why you followed me here?" Jian shook his head and said, "Being bullied again? I'm not your protector-"

The fairy girl quickly shook her head. She raised the wild flowers she had been holding in her hand and handed them to Jian.

There are not many flowers inside or outside the city of Gloucester. Even if you can see any, they are exclusive to the upper-level goblins or even the clan leaders.

Xijian guessed that the fairy girl must have spent a lot of time and effort in the past two days to find such a bunch of not-so-delicate wild flowers outside the city.

"Huh?" Jian was stunned.

"Thank you, thank you for helping me, Savior," the fairy girl said. "I, I don't have anything worth giving you. I can only find these flowers."

Jian looked at the fairy girl in astonishment for a long time, and then he reached out and took the bouquet from the girl's hand as if he had experienced something incredible.

"Really... You must have spent a lot of time on this. Then I'll accept it without hesitation." Ash showed a soft look in his eyes and smiled to express his gratitude to the fairy girl.

The fairy girl who was crying just now finally started laughing again.

That bruised and dirty face also became sympathetic.

Seeing that her gift was accepted, the fairy girl made way and planned to watch them leave.

Jian looked at the bouquet in his hand speechlessly and took a step forward.

Shiomi sighed silently in her heart.

It had been two thousand years since he set foot on British soil, and this was the first time he had seen a goblin express such kind gratitude to ash.

Even if it's insignificant, even if it's just a flower picked from the wild.

Something has to be done.

He thought so in his heart.

Suddenly, when the fairy girl saw Xijian walking in front of her, she was so scared that she dared not move.

She knew that the sage was very scary when he was angry, and perhaps her behavior had angered him.

So when Shiomi stretched out her hand, the fairy girl almost thought she was going to die and closed her eyes completely in fear.

However, the pain and torture that she should have gotten used to did not come, and a gentle hand covered her head.

"It's okay now." Xijian said softly.

"Eh?"

The fairy girl was confused.

It took her a while to realize that all the injuries on her body had disappeared, and her left eye, which had been almost blurred, had returned to normal.

She touched her face in disbelief.

"Thank you, sage." The fairy girl realized that the sage was not scary. "But I don't have anything to give you..."

"No, it's just a small favor." Xijian withdrew his hand, "and Jian likes your gift very much, that's enough."

"Really?" The fairy girl showed a surprised expression. "I, I won't bother you anymore. Please take care."

Her goal had been achieved.

The fairy girl said goodbye to them reluctantly, then turned and walked towards Gloucester.

Maybe I will continue to suffer torture, maybe I will die tomorrow.

She no longer felt afraid and felt that she could greet the still gloomy tomorrow with a smile.

"Wait a minute." Jian suddenly stopped her, "You haven't told us your name yet."

The fairy girl stopped and looked back, suddenly realizing what was happening, and hurried over to introduce herself.

"My name is Bawan Xi."

"Bawan Ximo..." Xijian thought of the fairy in Scottish legend.

In other words, the name itself means "female fairy".

The Bawan Xi in the pan-human history legend is indeed a vampire fairy, just like the girl in front of him.

"Your name is Bawan Xi." Ash looked at Xijian and received an answer of approval from his eyes. "We are traveling to save Britain. Do you want to come with us?"

"I...but I...don't have the ability to fight at all..." Bawan Xi wanted to agree immediately.

But she doesn't know anything and can't be the companion of the savior Jian.

"Everything can be learned." Xi Jian said with a hint of sarcasm, "The savior needs a maid, and I think you are suitable."

"Maid?" Bawan Xi was stunned. "If you don't mind, I—"
