Chapter 1096 18. Wherever you step, sprouts grow
In order to avoid suspicion, Annan did not stay in the embassy for too long. After tasting some delicious fruits brought by the Elf Envoy from the Aldo Forest, they returned to the City Lord's Mansion.
The Liberty City officials had just finished their meeting, and Olmedo, Francois, and Dade were chatting in the lounge.
Annan came in and pretended to say a few words about the assassination he encountered today. It was a top priority to give the elf envoy a good impression, so everyone should not relax.
“Didn’t you see that I wasn’t even idle?” This was the most righteous and confident moment for Annan.
Olmedo, who was lazily resting on the sofa with his blanket in his arms, raised his eyelids and exposed Annan: "Are you going to form an alliance or to chat with the elf elders?" Heart!"
Then "as a lord personally dedicated", "it is good for us to get to know the elf elders", there was a cheerful atmosphere in the lounge.
"I invited them to come to the city lord's palace tomorrow to see how the officials work." Annan said again.
Olmedo had no objection, but Dade warned Annan: "Don't let the elves see the otherworld tree behind."
"Why?"
"The elves will not accept that there is a second World Tree..."
Annan had heard similar words, but he did not expect it to be so serious.
“Understood, I will pay attention.”
Looking at it this way, I didn’t tell Tadel about this matter as a mistake... It’s just that the trees in the other world are growing every day. ...can you really hide it?
Annan quickly put this incident behind him. The city lord's palace is heavily guarded, and the garden where the princess is located is the core, making it difficult for elves to get there.
What Annan was concerned about was that the high elf elder never showed up...
There were no surprises in the visit to the city lord's mansion on the third day. The two elf elders spoke highly of the officials. Until the fifth day...in the evening, Annan, who was sending Ellie back to the embassy, saw Kelandra's figure appearing on the street.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Annan asked the tired-looking Kelandra.
"I'm a little tired..."
Annan watched the high elf elder who didn't even have the energy to maintain his condition walk into the embassy, and didn't know where he went...
Standing there and thinking for a while, Annan walked in the direction of Succubus Massage Parlor. .
......
The light-like natural magic enveloped Kelandra, and his condition gradually improved.
Fioria and Ellie sat across from him: "How was your inquiring?"
"Humans here do mean what they say, and the only thing they can tell is lies," said Calandra, who spent half of the trip in prison.
The three elders summarized the intelligence they collected with each other. Ellie took out a leaf, and the elf writing was recorded on the leaf like light spots.
It should be said that they really tried their best, especially Kelandra.
“Thank you for your hard work.” As both elves, Ellie knows how much Kelandra has sacrificed.
Calandra looked away guiltily.
"By the way, Sister Ellie, I lied to him and said you were only over 700 years old." Fioriya thought of something. "Maybe I think you are easier to deceive."
"That kid has a good heart, and I guess his Liberty City should be the same."
Ellie completed the record with a dominant attitude, The leaves floated towards the two of them, "You should also take a look."

Ellie put away her innocent face: "Facing a buoy made of orichalcum, Empty City, it is difficult for us to deny its future.”
As long as the Free City does not fall, it will definitely be a rising star of human power.
Forming an alliance with such a force will not cause too many objections...but it will still be decided by the Council of Elders.
"Okay, our goal has almost been accomplished. Let's have a good rest in the remaining two days." She mainly said to Kelandra.
……
A new day has arrived.
The first person to wake up in the city lord's mansion was the maid Abby.
She and Annan are similar in age, but in terms of qualifications, Olmedo has not known Annan as long as she has, so the maids and cooks in the city lord's mansion all listen to her.
As usual, she first checked to see if the maids were awake, then opened the windows for ventilation, swept the floor, and prepared everything before Annan woke up.
The merchant from Wilhelm came here, and in addition to delivering the second batch of ancient oak seeds, he also brought some companion acorns.
The maid Abby, who didn’t know what acorns were, first put the acorns on a plate and took the seeds to Da De.
Not long after she went out, Annan stretched and walked out of the bedroom.
He didn't see Abby, only a large plate of acorns on the living room table.
Annan, who thought it was sent by Aunt Susan, walked over, peeled off an acorn, and tasted it...it was almost like a raw peanut.
Looked at the time, it was early morning. But the elves always wake up at dawn. It was almost morning for them.
As soon as he put the shell on the table, Annan suddenly found that at some point, green shoots sprouted from his palm.
Having a problem with Acorn?
Rubbing the palm that had touched the acorn, it didn't hurt... Annan smacked his lips. The lingering fragrance in his mouth woke him up and ran downstairs.
......
There is still some time left for the office of the city lord's palace. The officials who came early were sitting in the lounge on the first floor, chatting about what they had seen in the past few days.
Romi from the reception department was talking eloquently: "Wherever the wood elf stepped, buds grew. She just wandered around the fields, and the plants grew..."
< br>Annan walked in at this time.
"Hey, everyone is here, what are you talking about? Why are you all looking at me like this?"
The officials looked at Annan's palms and suddenly looked at Luo Mi at the same time.
Romi stood up in shock: "Lord Annan, you and..."
The colleague rushed over to cover his mouth and said repeatedly: "Nothing, nothing."
"You..."
"We are talking about work! Mr. Annan, you-"
"Then I won't disturb you."
After Annan walked away quickly, his colleague let go of Romi and complained: " Don't you want to die? You can just talk about it secretly behind your back, but you also want to say it in front of Mr. Annan? Are you really not afraid of him taking revenge..."
...
Annan looked down at the palm of his hand in confusion. The buds have grown longer than before, and I want to pull them out, but I don't know if it will have any effect.
The elf should know what's going on?
Annan, who was about to go to the Master Tower, turned around and walked towards the embassy.
The elves have indeed woken up long ago and are blessing the World Tree with the three elders.
Annan didn't want to disturb her, but the buds on her palm were about to fork.
"Hello...hello." Annan deliberately spoke to attract the attention of the elf.
The elves didn't respond. It had nothing to do with being disturbed in blessing, but because they could see clearly - there was a bud growing on the tongue of the human lord as he spoke.
