Chapter 58 Plan
Legenfind looked indignant: "What method did you use to please him?! Or do you understand wind spirits like him?"
The boy who was suddenly called out spread his hands innocently.
Cecilia also wanted to know what it was about her that had won the wind spirit's favor, since, as Legenfender had complained, she didn't understand the wind spirit's intentions at all.
But if you like something, you just like it; there aren't that many reasons.
Although she was initially curious and wanted to get close to Cecilia because she sensed a familiar power fluctuation emanating from her, the wind spirit truly fell in love with Cecilia after actually getting to know her.
Even though she couldn't understand what she was saying, she was still tucking herself in!
The little guy had never been treated like this before. After all, no matter how cute he looked, he was still a non-human being, and no one thought he would get sick from catching a cold.
Thinking of this, the wind sprite narrowed its eyes with joy and chuckled while grabbing Cecilia's hair.
The boy had never seen him act so silly before, and laughed, "Oh dear, Legnford, maybe you shouldn't even bother competing? Judging by this, no matter what you do, you can't possibly surpass Cecilia's status with the little one, can you?"
Leigenfinde couldn't argue with him but refused to admit it, looking around as if he wanted to find help.
Unfortunately, Gunnhildr was targeted by him.
"Hey, say something! Don't forget you were the one who suggested we sneak in and touch the wind sprites this morning!"
Gunnhildr sighed, "What can I say? Everything's obvious, but you just won't accept reality. And don't forget, we're here to discuss serious matters, not to fight over a girl."
Legenfinde wasn't blind, so he had no choice but to swallow his anger: "Fine, fine."
However, on the other hand, since we are discussing serious matters, we cannot allow irrelevant people to be present.
Gunnhildr and Legenfender both looked at the boy, after all, when they were trying to break up the fight, he kept referring to them as their own people.
"This is Cecilia," the boy introduced them, and after consulting Cecilia, he explained the details of the family trial.
"A family trial?" Leggenfender mused. "Incredible. Just how powerful must your elders have been to choose this place for the trial..."
Cecilia found it difficult to answer the question.
The boy stepped in with a smile to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Cecilia, you still haven't answered whether you want to join us."
The wind sprite fluttered its wings and flew down from her head, looking at her with expectant eyes along with the boy.
Cecilia was under immense pressure, but fortunately she had made her decision early on and had now given them a satisfactory answer.
"Great! Our team has grown even stronger!" the boy cheered.
Gunnhildr smiled and said, "That's right, and Amos has agreed to our request. I heard that she tried to communicate with Lord Dekalapian after she went back last time, but the answer she received was not satisfactory."
She said this with some regret.
Everyone knows that Descarabian's original intention in building the wind wall was to protect against external wind and snow, and ultimately it was for the benefit of his people.
The Gunnhild and Legnfender families were willing to follow him and help him manage the people in his territory because of his benevolence.
However, for some reason, the situation gradually got out of control, and the instructions that Lord Dekalapian conveyed to the families became increasingly difficult to understand.
The situation within the territory was deteriorating, but Lord Dekalapian forbade his subjects from discussing such matters, and those who disobeyed were to be expelled.
At first, everyone was scared, but soon some people couldn't stand the situation and asked to leave. However—
Gunnhildr still remembered the scene when the wind blade that fell from the sky cleaved the free-spirited man in two.
Leigenfender is another example.
That person was a member of the Leggenfender family.
He had only been ordered by the clan chief to see them off, but he witnessed the tragedy when the luggage was handed over to him. As the person closest to the dead at that time, he saw it most clearly.
Therefore, Legenfender was the one among those present who had the most objections to Descarabian.
Hearing Gunnhildr's words, he sneered: "Amos is stupid. Even now, she still has expectations of that tyrant. If you ask me, we shouldn't have cooperated with her."
"Don't think like that, Legenfender." The boy put his arm around his shoulder. "After all, Lord Dekalapian helped us. It would be great if Amos could persuade Him. Even if not, it would strengthen Amos's belief in joining our team. You know, her archery skills are unparalleled."
Although the boy's weapon was also a bow and arrow, it was still inferior to that of the huntress who was personally taught by Dekalapian and even had her bow and arrows forged.
It's a pity, though, that she clearly still harbored feelings for Him.
There are many people here who, like Amos, still have expectations of Descarabian, so they need to arouse everyone's awareness of resistance.
The boy's understanding of the outside world came from the wind spirit, but the wind spirit couldn't speak, so he couldn't provide strong evidence to tell everyone what the outside world was like.
The wind spirit said that outside there is not only wind and snow, but also birds and waves.
Cecilia, on the other hand, had witnessed everything, and they needed her as evidence to prove it all.
The wind sprites and Gunnhildr applauded his proposal, and even Lygenfender, who was prejudiced against Cecilia, couldn't find a reason to refuse.
"So, we'll do it your way?" Legnford asked, his hair disheveled from his recent deep thought. "But how exactly do we achieve the effect you're talking about? You know better than I how stubborn the people here really are."
Gunnhildr pondered, "Making a picture book is easy, but Lord Dekalapian is currently very strict in controlling the thoughts of his people. It will be difficult to send this out discreetly, especially since the Lawrence family is still watching us."
The boy sighed and slumped into his seat: "It's strange. The matriarch of the Lawrence family seems to be a very wise person, so why is she so stubborn about this?"
The Lawrence family? The matriarch?
Cecilia's eyes flickered, and apart from the wind sprites who were too bored to get involved due to their status and could only watch her, almost no one noticed this unusual behavior.
The little guy tilted his head.
Cecilia gave him a reassuring smile.
In just that short moment of distraction, the conversation over there seemed to have progressed quite deeply, with all three of them wearing serious expressions.
After a moment's thought, the boy suggested, "How about we let Cecilia go?"
Cecilia: Huh?
As if she had been suddenly assigned some very important task, Cecilia quickly stopped teasing the wind sprite and pricked up her ears to listen carefully.
"She's new here. The matriarch of the Lawrence family hasn't seen her before, so she probably won't pay attention to what she's doing," the boy explained.
Even so, Gunnhildr still hesitated: "But new faces will be questioned too, won't they? Cecilia doesn't know the situation here. What if she gives herself away when she answers?"
"That's easy! We still need a few days to prepare the catalog, right? I'll give her a crash course on what's in this area during that time."
The boy smiled confidently and turned to Cecilia, rattling off a list of place names: "These are all districts of this territory. If the Lawrence family asks where you're from, just pick one you like and say it. Their matriarch is strict and old-fashioned; as long as you stick to your story, they won't dare to take action without evidence."
"She can't possibly know everyone here, and she can't tell you're lying just by looking at you once, right?"
Cecilia thought about it and agreed.
Judging from the current situation, the teenagers' plans are clearly not limited to this; she can't just enjoy the fruits of their labor without taking any risks.
Moreover, what the boy said makes a lot of sense.
As long as you do your homework in advance, there shouldn't be any problems. After all, no one can really remember the faces of everyone in the territory, right?

The author says: I don't know if everyone has read the story of Amos's Bow. The Lone King in the Tower and Amos are such a great couple, and the inevitable tragic ending is also very heartbreaking _(:з」∠)_
