Chapter 1164 86. "Good News"
Before this, the Elven Court had good reasons to prohibit the circulation of magic stones among the royal courts.
After all, this art form is different from literature and ballads, and its influence is terrifying... If it is not stopped, a large number of elves will become curious and longing for human society.
But as Annan helped a lot, the high elves were warned by Master Jade not to trouble Annan anymore, and the entire Elf Court began to turn a blind eye to him.
Are you running around the Messenger Village selling products? If you want to do it, just do it.
Show magical images to elves? As long as it doesn't violate the rules of the royal court.
Selling magic stones to interested elves? It seems to be common sense...
If any succubi are familiar with this process: when they disguise themselves as professionals to seduce their companions, they first express their common interests, and then pretend to care and find ways to touch them after the battle. Touch him, then deliberately get close to him in front of the bonfire at night, and finally sneak into his tent late at night and say that he feels more at ease staying by his side - no matter how determined a man is as a paladin, he will fall after this experience.
And the wealth of elves...how to say? There were no gold coins in their purses, just bags full of extremely pure gems.
Ten gems were exchanged for one magic stone. Annan felt guilty. The elves had to say thank you to him.
As stories spread, magical images spread, and the Night and the unnamed legendary elves speak their favor behind their backs, Annan's reputation grows and alliances become almost no longer out of reach.
"Have you really arrived at the foot of the World Tree?"
Opposite the portal, Olmedo, who was sitting in a pile that could drown her, raised her head when she heard this, full of surprise and envy.
"Is that still false? But it doesn't count at the feet... We are still at least several miles away from the farthest roots of the World Tree... Oh, by the way, I took a magic image!"
“Show me quickly!”
Olmei showed a rare interest.
Annan threw the magic stone that secretly photographed Tedder, and Olmedo took it and activated it. What came into view was the beautiful elves fighting like a dance.
"This elf is so beautiful..." Olmedo was stunned.
“She is Tedder.”
“It turns out to be her.”
Olmedo suddenly realized that he watched dozens of seconds of the video without blinking, and then calmly started watching it from the beginning again: "Watch it again, all the attention just now was on her... wow."
"Look at the scenery, look at the scenery -" Annan had to remind Olmedo to pay attention to the World Tree in the background.
Because Annan had already thought about the use situation of this clip during filming, so he deliberately found a good angle.
Looking at it now, the effect is great. Just showing this clip can sell at least one million gold coins at the box office.
“It is indeed beautiful... I mean spectacular, but why are you taking this photo?”
Olmedo skillfully put it down for the third time.
“Don’t you think this is the best gimmick to use as material for a certain magical video in the future? ‘The first magical video to shoot a close-up shot of the World Tree’, ‘The most beautiful elf in the Allen Continent’… ...We will make a fortune!"
"Well...but won't she be disgusted by doing this?"
"I don't think Tadel will care, you don't know me. How famous is it in the Elven Court..."
Two days have passed, and Annan has almost gotten over the regret of Aidan's death.
The same goes for elves. The areas destroyed by the "Utopia" were reborn and saplings grew again.
After a thorough inspection of the Emerald City and the Forbidden Land, the Council of Elders announced that the Elf Celebration would be resumed.
"Be prepared, I guess if they want to announce the alliance, it will be during the celebration." After learning about the elves' changed attitudes in the past two days, Olmedo said.
"Will you?"
"Did Tadel look for you?"
"No, she doesn't know what she is busy with."
However, this trip to the forbidden area to chase the murderer has indeed enhanced the relationship between Annan and Tedder. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are true friends.
"That's right, you also said that your reputation in the Green City is improving... This is because they are building momentum for you."
"Is this so..."
Annan did not doubt him, because he felt the same way. After all, even Master Jade is on his side. "Are you going to return that artifact?"
"The Eye of Rudolph? That's what I really think. This artifact is somewhat ominous, and it's not as valuable as returning it in our hands."
Exchange it for an artifact The friendship of a Supreme Thirteen King and some uncertain gifts sounded like a bad deal. However, this artifact belongs to the kingdom. If it is returned, it will be returned to its original owner. If it is not returned, it will be resented.
"That's up to you."
The portal disappeared and Annan picked up the mithril necklace. He confirmed that the third prince could sense it.
Not long after, a magical portal different from his own appeared.
"Your Excellency Annan Reeves." The haggard third prince saluted and greeted him.
"It's time to give it back to you."
Without any nostalgia, Annan handed over the Eye of Rudolph.
The third prince couldn't help but be moved, and after receiving the artifact, he handed over a magic ring.
"This is the first thank you gift prepared by the kingdom."
"The first one?" Annan's curiosity moved away from the ring.
“This is to thank you for your work for the kingdom. The second and third parts are to thank you for sending Aidan back and returning the Eye of Rudolph.”
“It is indeed a country of rules. ...What are you going to do next?" Annan asked.
“The kingdom’s decision should not be told to outsiders, but... you have helped us a lot.”
Annan's actions earned him the goodwill he deserved. The third prince said: "The royal family does not want to have a dispute with the elves at this time, so we will take a half step back to avoid the occurrence of war."
"Then That's fine..."
"Besides that, I would like to invite you as a guest on behalf of the kingdom..."
Annan was a little embarrassed: "I can't get away for the time being...Can you send an envoy? Go for me?”
“Yes.”
Annan made an appointment with the third prince to send an envoy to visit the Paem Kingdom in some time.
At that time, we will know what the environment Prince Aidan lives in.
......
On a new day, the Elf Festival is coming as scheduled.
The green city, which had cleared away the gloom of the previous two days, returned to the excitement that the celebration should have.
In addition to the celebration itself, the current Grand Elder of the Elf Royal Court and more than a dozen Elf elders came to the Flower Courtyard banquet, and they will announce something important.
The guests gradually gathered around, and Annan stood on tiptoe, looking for Tedder and the familiar figure.
“You may have heard before that the royal court will form an alliance with foreign tribes.”
Finally it’s here!
Annan looked excited, said hello to the Skeleton King next to him, and pushed forward.
The crowded banquet guests saw that it was him and took the initiative to move out of the way.
Finally squeezed into the front row, Annan saw Tedder standing next to the great elder. She was still dazzlingly beautiful, as if she didn't see herself, and lowered her eyes slightly.
The Elf Great Elder knocked on the wooden stick: "We will announce here the decision of the Elf Court to form alliances with foreign countries-"
Annan stepped out of the crowd with joy.
"This attack is a wake-up call for us. Foreigners cannot be trusted, not even princes. They cheat, they steal, they kill."
"Therefore, the royal court will shelve the matter of alliance with foreign tribes."
