Chapter 1112 34. Forty Thousand Years of Glory
"Hey-whoop! Hey-hoo! Hey-hoo!"
Annan's sight was still following the treetops that were obscured by the treetops. A strange convoy, and the sharp shouting sounded again at the end of the intersection.
Is there anything more powerful?
Annan looked around and saw dozens of giant rats carrying a heavy wooden bed from far to near.
They shouted slogans and followed the two rows of gray rat priests in front to the intersection.
On the wooden bed hung with curtains, there was an unusually large rat, like a mountain of flesh, lying vaguely on the wooden bed. It was covered with gold decorations that penetrated the curtains.
Annan's eyes were locked, and he could not understand more and more.
"What's going on? Why did the Elf King's Court invite even the Ratmen..."
"These filthy creatures have never been invited to elven celebrations in the past." Ariana's voice rang from the side. Compared to Rat Man, she felt Annan was too pleasing to the eye.
"I don't think this is a good thing... You have changed too quickly. Radical changes will tear apart the group... Huh? Ariana?"
...
A few minutes Later, Annan was taken back to the training cabin.
As soon as he landed, Annan protested loudly to Ariana: "I am the Lord of the Free City, a future ally of the Royal Court, and a friend of the Elf Elders, and you don't even have any respect for me!"
Aliana went out without saying a word, without even closing the door.
Thinking back on what he had just seen and heard, Annan closed the door, returned to the rattan bed, and began to meditate for the day.
The Aldo Forest at night has another kind of beauty.
The cold moonlight shines into the deep forest, vaguely outlining an outline on the treetops not far from the training cabin.
Even a newly arrived human can see it. Ariana, why can’t the other elves and elders see this?
Someone in the royal court is adding fuel to the flames...but she is just an instructor. Whatever the elders arranged, she just did it.
In the early morning, Annan finished his meditation and walked out of the hut.
Aliana seemed to have arrived a long time ago, standing in the open space with dew still on her hair.
Annan took out a handkerchief and handed it to her, but she ignored it: "Get ready for training."
The training started soon, which was not boring. After all, Annan only needed to keep cumming.
After finally achieving the achievement of hitting the 10-meter target ten times in a row, Annan clenched his fists: "I think I have mastered the key!"
How many steps does it take to become a ranger? The first step is to have a bow and arrows. The third step is to draw the bow. The third step is to shoot the arrow.
"Well, you have learned the basic archery skills, let's try the advanced ones." Ariana took Annan's children's bow without comment, pulled out the two arrows on the target, and nocked them at the same time. On the bow, draw the bow and shoot the arrow.
Diaodu——
The two arrows landed in the center of two targets that were several meters apart at almost the same time.
Annan stared blankly for a few seconds before coming back to his senses. Said: "It's not difficult. I have a good friend who can stare in different directions with two eyes."
Ariana pulled out three more arrows and drew her bow without a second thought.
Dowdock——
“Don’t say three, I have a good friend, it has eight eyes, eight!”
Eliana This time she only pulled out three arrows, and only one arrow was attached... But after shooting, she shot two more arrows in quick succession.
A scene that stunned Annan happened: the third arrow hit the second arrow, the second arrow hit the first arrow, and the first arrow screamed, nailing The dead target's bullseye was still trembling with its tail feathers. "Instructor Anna, I suddenly feel that there are still many things I don't understand about basic archery..."
Aliana's lips curved.
Finally got through the training during the day. In the evening, Annan and others came to Irilanze.
He did not ask what the elf mentor had done: "Which force was that group with the skeletons yesterday?"
"A certain cultist force... Annan, stay away from them. ”
"Got it."
The team of rat men we saw next was the Rat King of the Thrane clan.
The hierarchy within the rat people is strict. At the top is the god of all clans, the Horned Rat. Then there is the only high priest of each clan who can directly talk to the rat god. Next, there is the rat king who rules the rat nest, the rat elders, and the priests.
The imperial coalition's phased victory on the Great Wall in the North was the elimination of a rat king of the McKean clan.
“The Elf King’s Court has even invited the Ratmen... What do they want to do?”
Yirelanze shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.
“Can you contact Tedder?” Annan asked again, and after receiving confirmation, he said: “Bring her a story for me.”
……
"Once upon a time, there was a new mayor in a small town. He saw the poverty and lifelessness in the town and was determined to reform: giving porridge to the poor, finding jobs for the unemployed, and giving shelter to the homeless. But his behavior The wealthy people in the town were dissatisfied, because only if the town was half-dead could he continue to make money and strengthen himself."
"But the rich man didn't want to have a direct conflict with the mayor, so he asked people to go over and cause trouble. Mixing in with the poor, saying there is sand in the porridge, encouraging people from outside to come in to recruit workers, and deliberately being lazy among the homeless, dragging down the reputation of the homeless people. When we entered the house, someone took the deed and filed a complaint.”
"Finally, the new mayor was driven away. The town returned to its former peace: poor, lifeless, and harvested by the rich."
In the heart of the Elf King's Court, in a green treehouse, Irilan Ze finished telling the story.
Tedel raised his head, and the delicate silver thread slipped from his shoulders: "What else did he say?"
"No more."
"I know. Tell me. He doesn't have to worry. No matter how glorious the Elf Court is for 40,000 years, there will be no disagreements over such trivial matters."
When he said these words, Tedder was proud of all elves.
You humans are certainly the darlings of the new era... but we have also been glorious for 40,000 years. The long years have allowed us to experience and see everything.
......
Irilanze brought the news back to Annan. Annan shrugged. Anyway, he had done everything he could do.
Elder Tedder may be right. The elves are certainly arrogant, but they have the confidence to be arrogant. Not to mention the Elven Court, if Free City could exist for a thousand years, Annan would be proud of it.
In the blink of an eye, Annan spent a week in the training cabin.
Practice archery and learn etiquette during the day, and follow Yi Ruilanze to the entrance to see the envoy team at night. Annan noticed that Ariana was actually always around, but Irilanze would not show up when she was around.
Annan also maintains a certain tacit understanding with her: Ariana doesn't care if Annan sneaks away at night, and Annan doesn't go near the treehouse to contact other elves privately.
Tasting the last fruit delivered by Ariana and throwing the peel into his mouth without any waste, Annan clapped his hands and said, "Can I end the training?"
" It’s over when you pass the assessment.”
