Wolf King - Chapter 329
The Forest of Elves, in the towering mountain range that divides the northern part of Bloomfield mainland into two large plates, is located in the southern city of Ananas near the inner seaside.
Um… Ananas can no longer be called a small town. The building complex that spreads in all directions around the city center’s temple elder council has spread beyond the original valley, and even a very small hill on the west side of the gentle **** Extravagant and extravagant theater…
At the foot of the Ananas Grand Theater is a large, crescent-shaped, single-family villa-style community. The original Ananas citizens have moved into it…
As for the original old houses, there is no waste. All are arranged by the council of elders and distributed to new immigrants-citizens or villagers who have moved from other elven cities.
This migration craze is unprecedented in the history of the entire forest elf since its written record. It is like the Ananas in the eight elven cities in the south of the forest of the elves. In just a few years, it was sent to Ananas “passionately”. New immigrants who exceeded the total population of Ananas…
Simon the Great Elder of Cremans and Gibson the Elder of Barnett, the two forest elf elders who are more than a thousand years old, wear simple linen robes and hoods to cover most of them. Zhang Zhang, standing in the free market at the junction of the new town of Ananas and the old town, has a gloomy face and a slightly drawn mouth.
The changes of the Anas Council of the Elders have not spread, and naturally have not affected the vitality of this new immigrant city. Under the mild sunlight in the morning, the old and new immigrants and local citizens who are traveling and selling in the free market with passion There are also adventurers who venture in the southern forest, businessmen from across the sea, and the prosperous music interwoven with boiling voice, deeply hurt the hearts of the two elders in the outer city…
The city of elves has a small population, and even the queen city of Stephen will barely reach 100,000. If the southern city has a total population of 20,000, it is considered to be prosperous. The city residents are generally thousands, and they can get to know each other. .
Simon, who had been the elder of Cremans for three hundred years, and Gibson, who had been the elder of Barnett for two hundred years, could basically call the names of all the citizens of their own family. of.
At this moment, they saw these citizens who had watched grown up immigrating to other people’s cities, and they lived well in other people’s homes…
Even more disturbing is that even they themselves understand why these migrating citizens can live better—whether it is the wide variety of commodities that appear on the free market, or those that travel through the crowd, Hundreds and hundreds of merchants of the Hai ethnic group who are buying under the protection of three or five guards are telling them an iron fact: the Ananas that chooses to cooperate with the human kingdom, the Hai nationality and the prairie people to open the market, the commercial success is They can’t keep up!
The human race and the sea race traveled across the sea to open the sea trade road for Ananas. The goods of the prairie people made Ananas knock on the door of the dwarf kingdom. The vitality brought by economic circulation is even the elven forest hub. Stephen is far behind, not to mention these marginal cities!
The elder Simon of Cremans, nearly six hundred years old, was born with a feeling of jealousy… The disciple of the sage Ayun, King Ferdinand of Saint Bridge, how did he fall in love with that year? Nanas, not the more powerful and beautiful city of Cremans? !
Um… if Carlisle knows the idea of Elder Simon, he can only smile bitterly: you forest elves don’t deal with the outside world at all, who knows what your city is called, what’s inside, and it’s not just who you are. Who!
When the two elders in the outer city envyed and jealously annoyed the opportunity of losing their own Ananas, in the free market, in front of the stalls run by more than a dozen villagers, the two dressed in their own distinctive styles, followed by a group of guards behind their buttocks. Suddenly noisy.
“This batch of bark is clearly my first choice and the price I talk about first. Why are you Yankees unreasonable?!”
“Your southern profiteer actually uses the molting of tree people as ordinary bark to depress the price. Would you not allow me to give a more fair price?”
“What is fair, you obviously want to cut the bullshit!”
“You’re so mad!”
“Bah, who’s messing around!”
“Noisy, noisy, be quiet, don’t disturb the market!”
Several patrol fighters heard the sound, and the leading non-commissioned officer separated the two merchants, shouting loudly: “Don’t quarrel in front of others’ booths, let people not do business?”
“Sir, this Yankee caused the trouble first. I originally negotiated the price with the seller, but he suddenly inserted it and made trouble!”
“What’s wrong, I don’t see any profiteers like you from the south bullying the bully!”
“Okay!” The on-duty officers stopped impatiently and wanted to quarrel, and turned their heads to glare at the villagers’ stalls who were sullen after the stall. Next time, cancel your booth card!”
The stall owners quickly apologized, claiming that they did not expect that their self-produced tree molting could sell so expensively…
The duty officer strictly ordered the seller to change the price on the signage to the market price, turned his face to criticize and educate the two noisy traders in public, and then let the two men bid for the tree molting.
Standing on the opposite street and listening to the two elders outside the city could not hear it, and slipped away-where the villagers did not keep a group of tree people to help take care of the fields, but it was not a rare tree person who shed skin and could sell more than the field The price of land output is simply unreasonable!
As they were about to step out of the market, the two elders outside the city also saw an Ananas native standing in a red face and peddling a scarf and handkerchief woven with leprechauns and feathers. The following group of adventurers, businessmen, and others were madly snatching and mouthing It’s almost maddening…Isn’t the feathers replaced by the house goblins all used to fill the pillows? This thing can be used to make money. It’s crazy to sell and buy!
Elder Simon, who stepped away from the free market and heard the voice of the crowd behind counting coins, seemed to hear his heart bleeding…
“You can’t let Ananas do this again…so wantonly (eating only food)!” Elder Simon’s facial features twisted.
“Yes!” Elder Gibson nodded vigorously and gritted his teeth. They were all small towns in the south. Your brain is full of intestines and fat.
The temple of the elders covered on the small island in the lake is still as quiet as before. The long lake center corridor and the spacious square courtyard are still guarded by Ananas on duty, but when the elders of the foreign tribes pass through generously, These local guards seemed to have not seen them at all.
In the shrine library as the Parliament hall, one of the two generals of Ananas, General Ellis, sitting on the side of the long table and drinking tea, General Hewlett, turned his face and rushed into the museum. Simon and Gibson nodded slightly in tribute.
Sitting opposite Elf General Hewlett… was the elder Ananas, who was under house arrest for half a month, Meli.
In order to whitewash the peace, the four-cities allied forces that “invade” Ananas still stopped outside the city, and the elders of the four cities “rotated” two by two into the city, guarding Meili with the betraye Hewlett.
The forest elf is very stressful… er, in style, Elder Mei Li under house arrest doesn’t look embarrassed, and she also has a delicate white porcelain tea set from the grassland in front of her, and a hand-drawn indigo pattern on a delicate plate filled with flowers Refreshment.
“Is the two still satisfied with the new weather of Ananas?” Simon and Gibson sat down on the side of the long table. Elder Meili looked at him with a smile, with a reserved and proud look.
Hmm… Putting the extra blocks that Ananas earned in these years into the city construction is not how selfless the elder Meili is, but the elder Meili who has witnessed the development of the fire city cannot tolerate the city of elves than the city of prairie orcs… …But regardless of the motive, Elder Meili’s performance since taking over as Gwendolyn is indeed unprovokable. Even General Hewlett, who is dissatisfied, can’t be blamed in this regard, but just bows his head and silently drinks tea.
However, this kind of talk is really not good for Elder Simon and Elder Gibson. If everyone pays attention to individuality, Simon would like to laugh at the past directly: use the money belonging to the city for his achievements. Who won’t do this kind of thing, is it worth your beeping here?
Naturally, the words of the elders will not be spoken from these elders. Elder Simon nodded his thanks to the bodyguard who served refreshments, and looked coldly at Meili after the bodyguard retreated: “Ananas today is indeed alive, but the city’s prosperity is based on the southern part of us. The city is deserted. The elder Meili wants to say something about this?”
Elder Meili chuckled and lifted her chin gracefully: “What did Elder Simon want to say, should Ananas keep mediocrity forever to avoid bringing out some people’s… incompetence?”
Elder Simon was expressionless, and there was a blue muscle on the forehead of the silent Elder Gibson next to him.
So, when this opportunity falls on the head, anyone can do a good job. What are you proud of? !
Elder Meili looked at them and felt very good after eating the SHI expression… Jealous of Ananas’ luck? Luck is also a strength!
With a sigh of sighs, Elder Meli’s expression was really heavy when she turned to General Hewlett.
Xiao Yun guessed right. Elder Meili was not the kind of person who could not be controlled at all without any defense.
And this time Elder Meili will be deflated, all because of… the betrayal of this local general of Ananas.
The two generals of Ananas have always been equal, independent, independent of each other and do not interfere with each other. Elder Meili did not intervene in the general leadership after replacing Gwendolyn, still respecting their three-point share of their own acre Control of the land.
The positions of the two generals began to become subtle, not overnight, but from the time when General Krest became the prototype character of “Elf Ranger Travels”-the whole forest of elves, no, the whole cloth Longfield Continental knew the name of General Kleist, while Hewlett remained unknown.
Fame has always been linked to interests. Kleist, one of the second generals, is popular across the continent, bringing in an inevitable resource tilt… Foreign organizations such as adventurer associations, sea people, and human race merchants are more fond of Kleith. With the cooperation of General General, Kleist’s pledge is more reliable than the decree officially issued by the Council of Elder Ananas; the younger generation of soldiers trust this famous mainland general more and take pride in being his subordinate Even the special envoy of the palace purchased by Stephen is keen to meet with Kleist – under all kinds of objective conditions, even if Elder Meili believes that she has no selfishness, it will inevitably pay more attention to General Kleist.
The accumulated contradictions reached their peak this year. The young non-commissioned officers who returned from the Stephen Sergeant College almost swarmed to Crest. The city was calling for General Crest to expand the army and recruit more soldiers. After a while, Elder Meili had a headache and how to calm the bowl of water, Hewlett took advantage of Kleist’s rotation at the port…
Hewlett, opposite the long table, chose to avoid the sight that Elder Meli had cast.
Hewlett and Kleist are the same batch of elves from the junior college, and the same batch is arranged to study in the Wangcheng Sergeant Academy. The two have a certain emotional basis. But no matter how deep the feelings are, they can’t stand the comparison and the high and the low.
It was not only the soldiers commanded by Kleist who expanded him to 1,500, but he still had only 500 soldiers. The hot and cold treatment they encountered during the rotation of the port with Kleist, and Elder Meili’s inevitable competition in the inevitable competition between the two generals made Hewlett full of unyielding…all are generals of Ananas, all have the same life track, and others Leicester’s pursuit of Hewlett is acceptable, but Meili, who is the elder elder, can’t do justice and fairness. This is something Hellett can’t tolerate.
Elder Meili looked at Hewlett’s stubborn profile and sighed softly.
Simon, Gibson, and others’ clumsy means of threatening the prairie people. Meili didn’t think she could make Ayun, who dared to put a collar on the neck of the demi-god, succumb. The consideration is, but more is that she is unwilling to break the existing pattern of Ananas.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to be General Hewlett, but… If there was a vacancy for a general in Ananas on this turmoil, Elder Meili was very worried that Stephen would be intentional and step in-Queen I disdain this kind of unsightly peach picking, others may be.
Regardless of which aspect is considered, Elder Meli hopes that Ananas will maintain the existing balance, even if this balance requires the sacrifice of some people.
Ten days have passed since the letter was sent, Simon and others have already settled down, and Elder Meili doesn’t want to wait any longer.
“The prairie man hasn’t seen the movement for so long. Presumably Elder Simon should understand… that harsh condition, the prairie man would not agree.” Moving away from Hewlett, who disappointed her, Elder Meli looked at this The initiator of the farce, Simon, the elder of Cremans, said in a firm voice, “You hope to force the prairie people to succumb and then ask the queen for guilt, thinking that the queen’s kindness and tolerance are not more than what you have done. I will not comment on this point. But I must tell you clearly that the prairie people can resist the covetousness of the beast emperor, and it is not because of the blessing of our forest elves. Ananas has never intervened in the contest between the prairie kingdom and the Far East. Hewlett knows this best.”
“None of the beast emperor’s prestige never made the prairie people retreat. If you threaten the prairie people in the name of the queen, where do you feel that the prairie people will be chilled and frightened?”
Elder Meili jerked up and pointed to Simon: “If the prairie people fought fiercely, if this thing broke out to let the queen know that you are doing this mean thing and making big jokes in her name, you, especially you, Simon, don’t ever be angry for the queen!”
“The last precedent that used to act indiscriminately in the name of the queen, Gwendolyn’s situation today, is the best ending you can expect from Simon!”
Simon’s complexion changed suddenly, and he stood up: “Shut up! Where are you from the face of the queen, judge others?!”
“Oh? Who dares to surpass the power queen?”
Simon, Gibson, Hewlett, and Meli looked at the direction of the voice at the same time, seeing who was coming, all of them changed their faces.
“Gina woman officer?!” Elder Meili was surprised and overjoyed, and overjoyed, quickly hurried out of the seat and lifted her skirt to squat to salute.
The elders of Simon and Gibson’s outer cities were white-washed. Hewlett, the general who had betrayed Ananas, was even more horrified.
The female gina in the white gauze cloak, accompanied by General Krest and Evelyn, entered the hall from the main entrance. Outside the open door, the guards belonging to General Hewlett had been taken by the members of the Knights of the Royal City. General Leicester’s soldiers won together.
Officer Gina took off her cloak and hood, and sneered at the crowd at the long table, sneeringly said, “I saw the four cities of Cremans, Barnett, Qin, and Hines outside the city. It’s strange how Stephen happened in the south that required the joint efforts of the five cities, but he didn’t know anything. Who would have expected… this kind of embarrassing and embarrassing act!!”
The last sentence, Gina, the female officer shouted, and she raised her hand angrily, pointing to the elder Simon who is the highest among the people present: “Simon! You are the elder and the kingdom of Cremans, the largest city in the south. The official member of the Presbyterian Church, are you doing this in return for the Queen’s trust?”
Simon looked embarrassed, he really didn’t know why Gina, who represented the Queen’s will, would appear in Ananas with the Knights at this time when no major event happened, but it was so easy to admit defeat that he was really sorry for his hard work these days When the voice of Gina’s officer fell, he bowed slightly and bowed to salute, then stood straight, staring at the angry woman officer and defending himself:
“Please allow me to explain my behavior. Your Excellency, Gina, I am not hostile to anyone when I come to Ananas. In fact, these days we have only discussed and discussed with Elder Meili and cooperated with the Prairie Kingdom to coin coins The possibility… You know, the prairie kingdom was only a few years old, and the coins used were mixed, ranging from the beautiful coins cast by our forest elves to crude gold and silver money cakes. My family is adjacent to the prairie kingdom. The exchanges are very close. The coins they use and the coins used by my family circulate with each other. If both of us can unify coins, this is a very convenient thing for both of us…”
Evelyn, who quietly followed Gina’s behind, took a deep breath… It’s okay to be able to say such a shameless thing so bright and upright, Big Elder Simon!
It’s natural for the strong party to ask the weak party to jointly coin mint. It’s clear that Gina’s female officer, but… before the big business involving 500,000 gold coins, this kind of trickery of searching for and harvesting three melons and two dates is really impossible. Countertop-Waiting for Simon to whitewash his behavior completely, the female officer Gina interrupted him with great annoyance: “Simon, do you think that the prairie kingdom that my king and queen both agree on is a fool, or think I am Is it a fool?”
Simon stubbornly said: “But this is really for the convenience of trade between our family and the grassland kingdom -“
“Enough.” Gina woman officer raised her hand to stop, impatiently, “A grassland kingdom sage Ayun invited the queen, my king (elven king), mother, dwarf king, beast emperor to jointly fund the establishment of an international joint-stock commercial bank, queen It is for this reason that I was ordered to bring 500,000 gold coins. At this critical moment, what kind of laughter do you want my family to bear?”
The forest elves invited the prairie people to jointly mint coins, and it was said that the dark elf mistress could not find a reason to laugh at the queen, or that the queen was too worthy of the elven king and the dwarf king? !
Simon lost his voice instantly.
The surprise expression on Elder Meili’s face was almost stretched.
Wait-we just want to scrape a little oil from the fat prairie people. It’s not scary to make such a big scene!
The elder Gibson of Barnett City, after hearing the word “five hundred thousand gold coins”, even slipped his feet almost under the table…the queen over there paid a sum of money to do business with the prairie people. Thinking about the meat of the prairie people…
Simon’s face was disappointed, unable to persuade Gina’s officer with the benefit of coinage, this time is really irreparable…
Sure enough, Gina’s next sentence was an angry question: “Consulting with Elder Meili, you need to put the army of the four cities to the door of Ananas, you are really a big show…if You have appeals to the Queen, do you want to come to this one too?!”
Simon had nothing to say and lowered his head.
From the time the female officer Gina entered the door, the faceless Hewlett had been staring at Krest, who stood beside her female officer.
Elder Mei Li, who was fortunately surprised, did not leave the general who had left the port station and went with the female officer Gina.
Before the liquidation of Gina’s female officer questioned Hewlett’s position, Elder Meili blurted out: “Gina female officer, Hewlett protected me and the tranquility of Ananas.”
Hewlett himself and Evelyn and Kleist who came with Gina’s female officer looked at Meili in surprise.
“Oh?” The violent Gina female officer did not lose her calmness, and turned suspiciously to Hewlett, who was quite close to Simon and Gibson.
“Yes, Simon deceived the soldiers of Cremans, deceived three other cities, and launched an unjust invasion of Ananas. In order to protect me and protect the peace of Ananas, Hewlett had to fool him. , Pretending to be at peace with them, and taking over the task of escorting me.” Elder Meili strongly endured the desire to observe Gina’s female officer’s reaction and turned her gaze to her Hewlett staring blankly. Moved, “If it were not so, the city would never be as unaffected as it is now… Chaos and panic are things I and Hewlett did not want to see. I understand his pain.”
None of the people present were stupid.
The crumbling Barnett elder Gibson’s eyes were bright, and his soft legs had the power to stand upright.
Simon suddenly turned to stare at Meili.
Officer Gina, silent.
Elder Meli: This is…a public offer to trade with Hewlett, with Simon, with Gibson, and with the elders of the other two cities, and with Gina!
She originally planned to abandon Hewlett. After Gina’s female officer suddenly airborne and seemed to have contact with Kleist, she decided to save Hewlett, an Ananas traitor, while also keeping Simon. “Inflammation” the other three cities!
If Simon tried to break the jar and insisted that Hewlett wasn’t a mere fool, but really betrayed Ananas, then he would offend the other three cities! He ran into the muzzle of Gina’s officer himself and was destined to be finished, but he still had family members!
And at the same time… There is no reason for Gina to refuse this deal. After all… Elders of the Four Cities at the same time gave birth to eccentricity, which was too detrimental to the majesty of Her Majesty the Queen and the face of the forest elves!
“…Very good.” The long-awaited Gina female officer quickly judged the pros and cons, smiled at Meili, and looked down at Hewlett. “Very well, not too disappointing… when When the despicable people try to tarnish the glory of our people for thousands of years, there will always be brave people who stand up and defend firmly.”
Elder Simon looked at the Queen Gina’s will and decided to let him be the only “despicable person”. His facial muscles twitched and he chose to keep silent.
The “Four Cities Alliance” has been disintegrated by Meli. He took over all the black pots as a “politically correct” thing for everyone. If he does not know what is interesting, then he may not be able to keep the last decent.
At the beginning of the entrance, General Kleist and Evelyn remained silent. They watched a big show… until the knife was cut into mahjong, everything was clean, and the female officer Gina and Elder Meili talked and spoke with the prairie people. After the cooperation experience was allowed to leave, they walked out of the temple of elders who dazzled them.
“Evelyn, you said… Ayun deliberately asked me to come back from the port. Isn’t it…” Although handsome and artistically well-trained, in fact, General Crest, who is very **** and very hard-hearted, this time The tone of tone is all tone-shifting. There are too many things happening on this day…
“It should be for…General Hewlett.” Evelyn’s face stiffened. “Well… I can guess a little bit about the teacher’s idea… He thinks that Ananas is good now, if it is cleaned up Losing some people and letting outsiders have time to drill, then it is also very troublesome for him to work directly with Ananas… The teacher is a person who is very afraid of trouble.”
As for what Xiao Yun said, “It’s better to work hard than Elder Meili will choose”, Evelyn will not come up with it. She does not want General Kleist’s impression of the teacher to be worse.
“In other words… In order to avoid his troubles, did he let me be stricken by Elder Meili…” General Kleist’s mouth twitched slightly.
Evelyn was silent for a complicated look: “General, I’m telling you the truth, you don’t want Elder Meili to be afraid that they are actually the same… They are those who play politics, we can’t understand what they are thinking. of.”
General Kleist sighed briefly: “Evelyn, don’t you be like them, Elizabeth will lose a good friend, and I will also lose an outstanding and trustworthy junior.”
“Of course not.” Evelyn definitely.
The female officer Gina stayed in Ananas for two days and summoned the elders of the three cities to reprimand them and strictly ordered the cities to maintain a friendly alliance with the prairie people before letting them leave. As for Simon, the culprit… Don’t expect to be able to go back to being the elder, and the members of the knights will be escorted to the king Stephen in the same day to go to the queen’s trial.
When Evelyn took Gina and the Knights back to Fire City, the dwarf kingdom messenger had arrived two days later than Gina’s departure, and the dark elf messenger, who rushed from the underground world faster, had already lived in the city for a few days. day.
The messenger of the dwarf kingdom is the interior minister who cooperates with the prairie people (holding the thighs to make money), and the dark elf messenger is the loyal dog of the mother and the old friend of the prairie people, Angel Angelo of the abyss.
As for the elven king’s messenger… well, because he lived in Huoyang City for a long time, second only to Evelyn, everyone has already regarded Selena as herself, and Selena, who came back from the Ice and Snow City, took the gold coins from When the space bracelet poured out, Dahe even showed the expression “Ah, you are also a messenger”…
A welcome banquet was held for the gathered messengers in the city. The grassroot patriarch and Hongye personally entertained these “pro-grassland” guests, and introduced the white bear general Wood and the lion general Ge for the dwarf kingdom interior minister and queen celebrity Gina. Loria, tea bear elder Kuku, fox elder Aroy, wing elder and other goodwill representatives. (Angelo and Selena have already seen each other)
At the banquet, a troupe composed of cats, snakes, and humans took the stage to perform, such as “the unity of the people of all ethnicities” (adapted from “Fifty-Six Fifty-six Flowers of Fifty-six Nationalities”), “Prairie Ode” (“I “Motherland” adaptation) and other popular and catchy new repertoire, let the messengers have a deep understanding of the grassland people’s love for their homeland and their yearning for peace…
When the banquet with the theme of “Ethnic Unity” was held in the square, Xiao Yun summoned Evelyn, who had completed her task perfectly, to the event room, patting her on the shoulder and paying attention to the elf disciple: “Evelyn , You are ready to take over Elder Meili.”
Evelyn: “Meow meow?”
“Relax, we didn’t intend to be detrimental to this elder who is friendly to our prairie. How can we also be an ally who walked hand in hand, how can we have a bad heart for others?” Xiao Yun gestured upwards with his other hand, and said gently. “Let’s, we want to send Elder Meili to climb up high…Going to Stephen’s development, how could it be better than squatting in the backcountry like Ananas?”
Evelyn stared at the dead fish eyes: “Teacher, now go out and say that Ananas is beaten in the backcountry.”
“It’s not important…” Xiao Yun waved his hand. “The important thing is that Elder Meli squatted in the position of Elder Ananas for a little longer, and our relationship is about to go wrong. Ambitious things like this In light of the budding conditions, it’s quick to jump up, and you don’t want the forest elves to match us?”
Evelyn did not doubt that the teacher could send Elder Meili up. Over the years, she saw that Xiao Yun had done too many things that could not be successful at all. She was very tangled: “But, teacher …They are only in their 200s!”
Xiao Yun expressionless: “Do you want to tell me that you are 29 years old, are you still a baby in your 200s?”
“Uh……”
“Carlisle was a king in his thirties and forties, could you be a bit ambitious?”
“This……”
“How old is Lola?” By the way, fourteen years old! Gee…”
“…”
Under Xiao Yun’s “YIN” prestige, Evelyn who had just patted General Kleist’s chest could only tear up “True Fragrance”…
