Chapter 466 123. The leaves of the World Tree will also explode
“What’s wrong with you?”
It seems that since Annan came back, Della has become a little strange...for example, she is always far away from herself Very close.
Annan has seen Della standing behind him more than once when he turned around, or when he woke up late at night, he saw her standing in front of the bed.
Although Della is Annan's nominal bodyguard, the distance is still too close.
While bathing, Annan secretly asked the elf mentor when the elf's estrus period was.
"...Elves don't have estrus."
Annan seemed to hear Elimoas saying that she didn't like money, Martin didn't like eating apple pie, and Layla didn't like fishing jokes: "Then how do you... find a partner?"
"Feel with your soul."
"Wow."
"We are going back to the Elf King's Court. Are you ready to talk to your Elf Mentor?"
"I think you are good like this..." Annan said this first, but felt timid, and the Elf Mentor could not follow this. The leaf of the World Tree climbed out and ate itself, "What you become does not affect our friendship."
"I am very happy that you can say that..."
End Conversing with the elf mentor, Annan put on the mage robe and let Della in from the door.
Dela misunderstood something and started to take off her leather armor when she came in.
"That's not what I meant!" Annan said frankly before Dai La took off her clothes: "Dela, you have been acting strange recently."
"...That World Tree leaf is attracting me."
"Is this one? I can't give it to you..." Annan took out the leaf of the World Tree belatedly, saw Della's eyes fixed on it, and asked tentatively: "But I can let you hold it. ?”
“Thank you for your trust, but it’s useless to hold the leaves of the World Tree.”
“How about drinking it?”
Della's head, which did not contain much, stagnated for a moment: "I don't know..."
Annan asked the elf mentor again how he could distinguish the power of the leaves of the world tree.
"The power of nature only exists in the leaves of the World Tree itself. Soaking the leaves of the World Tree in water is useless... right?" The Elf Tutor's hesitation only lasted a moment, "But I don't recommend that you do this. If used incorrectly, the power of nature will be revealed. "What will happen?"
"...Your territory will turn into a forest."
"That doesn't seem to be a big deal?" Annan was thinking about how to green Gem City.
"...You will turn into nutrients."
The scene of saplings growing from their flesh and blood appeared in Annan's mind, and the leaf of the world tree instantly became hot to the touch. This is much more dangerous than any explosion...
Put away the leaves of the World Tree, Annan raised his head: "You heard it."
Annan came to the second floor, where Ingrid was Give advice to Itilia.
In addition to Annan, who is the city lord, and deputy city lord Itilia, Ingrid is the assistant to the city lord and also serves as the Ministry of Interior, handling internal affairs together with Francois. Yili Rubble Construction Department, Soruman Bronzebeard Equipment Department, Losi served as the Guards Captain, and Fermi commanded the Hellfire.
The structure of Xingyue Bay is basically maintained, and Olmedo's cronies are filled in these departments.
But Ingrid thought they had an important vacancy: "We still lack an envoy."
"What does an envoy do?"
"Reception, Visiting monarchs and lords of other countries, keeping in touch with them, conveying news, and conducting war negotiations and trade negotiations when necessary.”
"Sounds like what I have been doing."
Ingrid said "hmm": "So you didn't look like a city lord before." Annan thought for a while: "I have a suitable candidate. , but he hasn’t come back yet.”
It’s the bard.
Thanks to "Betal's Redemption", the bard was only one step away from the elite when they evacuated the North, and he should already be an elite after blooming in Middle-earth.
It is not a big problem to let an elite bard serve as the envoy of Gem City, but his unreliability is the same as Mr. Fast - who knows where he has traveled?
"I'll ask Francois." Annan walked out.
Itilia planned to ask the guards to call Francois over, but Ingrid stopped her: "If you don't let Mr. Annan go out, he will really have nothing to do."
North of Gem City, the vast wasteland here is being loosened by earth elements pulling plows. Annan found Francois at the wooden shed built by the roadside. The necromancers were also there, learning farming techniques from him.
Annan asked him: "Didn't you meet the bards outside?"
"No, but I think the bard is coming back soon."
"Why?"
"Remember when we were mistaken for Andy earlier? That guy will soon be... The big names were welcomed, and then they came over after learning what we were doing here."
"Or were they obsessed with it?"
The necromancers reminded Annan of something." You met bandits when you came, right?”
"I was frightened by them..." the female necromancer with black lips said aggrievedly.
Annan ignored the fact that the necromancers who worked with dead bodies were afraid of living people and asked for details.
Francois listened and suddenly said: "They may not be bandits."
"Why do you say that?"
"Those bandits have nothing, how dare they Running near Gem Bay? I looked through the exploration records of Gem City and found that we had a bit of a conflict with the 'Mad Dog Archduke'... Don't you know?"
"Well...of course I know." Annan skipped the awkward topic, "So you suspect that they are the informants of Mad Dog Archduke?"
"I can't think of any other reason."
"Then Let’s let the musketeers test it out first.”
After all, the musketeers’ opponents have always been rats, and they have never fought against human forces.
Annan originally wanted Losey to go over. He and Fermi happened to be fighting wits with the Ratmen in the Violet Old Land, and the other was fighting against the enemy in Gem Bay, but they couldn't get past Ingrid.
"I'm going too!" When Losey shouted, Ingrid said expressionlessly: "You are Lord Annan's personal guard now."
Losie just shrank back like a quail. .
Fermi took away most of the main force of the Musketeers, leaving only a few new recruits, which was just an opportunity to train them. The captain was replaced by a young man named Jack - one of the thirty-four Jacks of Xingyue Bay.
Now there are only eleven left.
Annan was still uneasy and asked the ten earth elements to follow them quietly. As a result, in the evening, Annan got the news that this group of recruits had solved a group of "bandits" and captured the leader of the bandits.
When Annan arrived at the camp, the faces of the recruits were filled with the joy of victory.
"You still took the risk."
"We didn't, sir. We were just watching from a distance, and they rushed over when they saw that we didn't even have a professional..."
Jack proudly dragged his prisoner out from behind.
“We finally found one that was not sieved.”
