Chapter 460 117. The Changing Pattern
If you were to choose a place in the Tatooine Empire that was the most luxurious, then the Council Palace would definitely be the one.
The magic-filled red dragon skin covers the entire palace, keeping the Montreal mountains as warm as spring in the dead of winter. Whale oil, which is more luxurious than the eternal magic lamp, always shines brightly. The skin of the rock giant wraps the pillars. At the top of the stairs is a skeletal seat that elves feel is brutal and orcs feel is gentle. It is made of the heads of rat-men elders - it must be a pain in the ass to sit on it all the time.
But at least they had respect for the elves, dwarves and orcs, the main races that also came out of Wilhelm: at least their skins or bones did not appear in this palace.
Now, leaning on the bone-shaped seat, a young figure wearing a crown is leaning.
"Beautiful messenger, you are visiting me late at night. Do you want to have a wonderful cross-race date with me?"
"Lord of Tatoun, I want to talk to you about the alien order."
"Beautiful elf lady, I can't do this. The alien order was decided by all of our thirteen supreme kings——"
"The southern countries twisted the alien order into massacre and slavery, you can too Ignore it," Elder Tedder interrupted.
The young emperor didn't care at all, shook his head and said: "No, the decision of the Holy Temple Council cannot be questioned. This is the cornerstone of mankind."
"Slaying and enslaving elves is also the cornerstone of you?"
Elder Tedder's tone gradually became cold, and when he was about to threaten, "Are humans ready to be attacked by elves, orcs, and dwarves?", a cry suddenly came to my ears. The voice sounded: "Hello, hello, it's Yi Rui... is it the messenger?"
After a moment of silence, Tadel showed a smile that melted the ice. The tone was no longer cold: "Lord of Tatoun, the elves have discovered that those ratmen have a trick. Do you need some elf rangers for your expeditionary force?"
The young emperor had a straight face, which would make him see He looked full of majesty: "It's rare for elves to actually lower their noble heads... But, no."
He leaned forward from the seat of bones and solemnly told the envoy of the Elf Court: "Montreal The Golden Family has no precedent of letting allies be betrayed, so I will issue a decree to cancel the alien order in the empire!”
...
"Thank you."
Annan bumped fists with the knight who was leaning on his sword in a daze, and came to the familiar office.
"Oulin! Oulin!" Annan broke into her office unceremoniously and found a strange middle-aged nobleman sitting nearby. His tone became lower: "Sister Oulin, it's time for you to go home. .”
For the sake of the guests.
"Your Excellency, Captain, I'm going back first." The middle-aged noble stood up and saluted, nodded to Annan and left the office.
"Who is he?"
"It's none of your business." Olin seemed to be in a bad mood.
"Then it's none of my business to let you go home."
"I still have official duties," she said.
Annan ignored it and leaned over the table forcefully and said, "You have to go back. Do you know what my ancestor told me? She said that when the children grow up, they will face the outside!"
"This is impossible... ..."
"I took the blame once for you."
Olin couldn't think of Annan's reason for lying to her, so she could only sigh: "I will go back later, knowing who left just now. Is it? He is Mongli's father..."
"Who is Mongli?"
"...You don't know? He even fought against you in the tournament."
"Well...I mean, why did his father come to you?"
" My men arrested Mongli because he made some... mistakes, and his father came to plead with me."
"They have a good relationship with you?"
"Meng. Gurley's mother is my aunt..." Sure enough, it was an aristocratic marriage. Even if Olin sneezed in the upper-class area, she would infect three aunts and seven uncles.
“So you think it’s difficult, but you have to help because of your blood relationship, right?”
Olin said “hmm”.
"It's so sad..."
"What?"
"You left your ancestor alone in the manor just for this kind of thing. The ancestor was tortured by a curse. He couldn't walk and couldn't see clearly. He could only hold Lily and miss his junior..."
...
In the evening, Annan, Oulin and their ancestors sat in front of the fireplace to enjoy a family dinner.
Except for the fire in the fireplace, there are only candles lit by servants, keeping the restaurant warm and cozy.
While eating, Annan secretly looked at his ancestor. The ancestor was tearing a piece of chicken into shreds and feeding it to Lily. He seemed to be no longer angry with himself...
Olin also talked about Mongli and his father uncharacteristically, and the ancestor talked about Olin's childhood: after she came back that day, she swore to become a knight to protect justice and the people.
"I know what to do." Ou Lin picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, "I'll tell Aunt Oli in a moment."
"Annan, when will you go back?"
"Same as you."
Before leaving, Annan got good news: the negotiations between the Empire and the Elf Court have made progress.
The Alien Order will hopefully be invalidated in the Tatooine Empire.
As for the participant and promoter of this incident, Annan was proud to participate in such a big event.
When the last afterglow disappeared from the horizon, Annan picked up Lily and brought the silly cat over. He said goodbye to his ancestors and asked Olin to take care of the Moonlight Opera House. He disappeared into the door opened by his ancestors. In the portal.
Everyone takes what they need from this pure emotion: Olin makes up for the memories of the past, the ancestors get the company of the younger generations, and Annan? He got it all in itself: the joy of helping others.
There are also insignificant benefits.
Returning to Syltoves in the night, and then back to Gem City from Srtoves, Annan got the second good news: Michael and Francois were back.
Annan no longer has to play around... no longer has to do everything by himself.
There is an interesting story behind the return of Francois and the others:
Michael and Francois were working as mercenaries in the Fallen Leaf Territory, and the person who found them was not someone from Olmedo. When they were receiving a commission, a ranger suddenly pointed at Francois and called "Andy", so the two people who knew Annan's current situation from the ranger ran back.
“Floating City…”
Speaking of this word, Francois trembled as if he was making out with the man: "I have always dreamed of having a floating city..."
"That won't work, I'll leave it to Olmedo as the deputy city lord. Yes." Annan joked.
"I mean, as long as I can live here, I will be satisfied..." Francois fumbled around in the city lord's mansion that had not yet taken off.
"Is there anything I can do!"
Francois is ready to give his life for "New Star Moon Bay".
Annan pointed to the north outside the window: "It's March, it's time for us to farm... What about Michael?"
"He said he would send you the money he earned... You didn't meet him. ”
