Chapter 193: Temptation of the Flesh
In the Elven Palace, the queen's bedroom, it was very late, but the lights were bright, and no one wanted to sleep.
"Are you sure?" asked the queen softly.
"It's not certain yet, he's been hiding his strength. A dark figure suddenly emerged from the darkness, and the voice was a woman.
"Don't worry about this matter in the future, you help me watch that human princess more. β
"Sheβdid she come for some other purpose?" the Shadow wondered.
"No," the queen frowned, clearly unhappy with the shadow's mouthful, "what I want you to do is keep her safe. β
"Alright," Shadow breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought you were going to take her hostage, I couldn't do it at such a young age." β
The queen knew that she was sarcastic about her cruelty, but she didn't mind, on the contrary, she thought that she was such a person, and only in this way could she hold the supreme power of the elves.
The next day, Lin Qian was invited to the main hall to discuss how to deal with the elders' faction. This time, Lin Qian brought more than 2,000 magicians with at least level eight strength, and he also had almost half the strength of the top strength of the elf race. So the tactics are very simple, the queen's side is fighting head-on, and Lin Qian is attacking from the side.
This is a plan for the big picture, but it is not so simple when it comes to the details. First of all, it is necessary to solve the problem of drawing out the main forces of the other side, the forest is no better than the plain, you can't see how many people on the other side are at a glance, plus there are hard trees blocking the battle, and a large-scale battle is almost impossible. The second is the problem of hiding traces, although on the surface it seems that the elder faction does not know the existence of Lin Qian, but no one dares to guarantee this, the elven clan has no city walls and no enchantments, and it is impossible to seal the information, so it is very difficult to succeed in the sneak attack.
The current battles between the two sides are small-scale encounters, and since there is no specific line of defense, it is likely that a team will encounter the other side while it is scouting the enemy, and then a magical battle will follow until one side wins, and then retreat with little valuable information.
"Therefore, the best way is to ask them out to negotiate, lead them to the main force, and catch them all. Lin Qian put forward his opinion.
"Oh?" said the Queen, smiling, and turning to Meryl, "Then try again, and see if the old fellows will take the bait." β
"Try again?What, have you used this method before?" Lin Qian couldn't let go of his old face a little, listening to the queen's tone, it seemed that this method had been used more than once.
"Those old guys didn't really want to start a civil war, they mainly wanted to force me to agree to their demands, and every time I pretended to negotiate, they talked to me in a special way, and they didn't show up at all. β
"Special method?" Lin Qian was a little curious, how could he talk without meeting.
"Take it out. The queen turned and said.
Meryl came out of the apse, holding a plate with a dragon's scales on it.
Lin Qian stood up with a thud, and he only needed to take a look at it to understand - the elder faction had caught a giant dragon!
The queen had long anticipated Lin Qian's reaction, and said indifferently: "You have a lot of relationship with the dragon clan, so you naturally understand what is going on, I have been using this thing to talk to them all these years, but it is just through the relay of a giant dragon." β
"Impossible, impossible!" Lin Qian thought for a moment and suddenly said affirmatively.
"How could it be? Could it be that this dragon scale is fake?" the queen did not expect his subsequent reaction.
Lin Qian stepped forward, took this dragon scale and looked at it, sniffed it again, and said, "Although this is indeed a giant dragon scale, it is absolutely impossible if you rely on this to communicate with the elven elders. β
Looking at the reactions of everyone in the field, Lin Qian slowly explained: "The number of dragons is very scarce, and it is extremely difficult to reproduce, so there is already a risk of extinction, and the loss of any dragon is huge for them, so the dragon clan is very concerned about the matter of missing dragons. In other words, if a clan member goes missing, this matter will definitely be known to everyone, and it is impossible for me to be in contact with the dragon for so long without hearing about it, and there is still a sense between them, even if it is separated by an enchantment, its specific location will be known by other dragons. β
"So, catching a dragon and doing something for them won't happen. But this thing ...... And how can you explain it?" the Elven Queen was stunned, but looking at the dragon scales, she still couldn't believe it.
"Unless ......" Lin Qian suddenly thought of the exterminated Barrett, and then looked at the golden dragon scales, he vaguely guessed something.
"In the beginning, how did you get in touch with the Elder faction?" Lin Qian suddenly asked rhetorically.
"Carry the message with the beast, and our animal trainer will tie the message to the beast's tail and drive them to their destination. Meryl replied.
"Then with this method, I don't think they won't show up this time. Lin Qian clenched his fists, and there was a trace of sadness in his eyes.
The queen didn't ask in detail, and told Meryl to do it, since Lin Qian was so sure, why didn't she give it a try. However, the Everfree Forest is so big, even if this matter is done immediately, it will be at least ten days before you get a reply, and this time in between is just for the clansmen to prepare.
Lin Qian was very uneasy about the dragon clan being involved in this matter, and after saying goodbye to the queen, he hurried back to the room, casually put a soundproof barrier in his hand, and took out the silver-white dragon scales in the baggage.
"Long'er, there is something I want you to do next, don't ask the reason, don't hesitate, just do what I tell you......"
Ten days later, Meryl received a letter in which she agreed to the queen's request to meet somewhere in the forest to discuss cooperation.
The queen was very surprised, things turned out as Lin Qian expected, in this way, wouldn't there be the best time to attack.
"Don't be careless, Queen, I think they will be prepared. Lin Qian was faintly uneasy in his heart, and reminded loudly.
"Well, I'll be well prepared. The queen nodded cautiously, she would not miss this opportunity.
Elena and the queen have been very close these days, and the elf queen seems to really treat her as her own daughter, so she also loves Lin Qian and Wu, and she values Lin Qian's words very much.
"By the way, today the little princess told me that she was going to sleep with me here, so Lin Gongzi didn't have to wait for her. "Now the little princess in the queen's mouth has clearly referred to Elena.
"This ...... Elena is young and ignorant, I'm afraid she'll upset you, or I'd better watch her. Lin Qian frowned, a little worried about Elena's safety, but it was difficult to stop him, so he could only politely refuse.
"Don't worry, I like the little princess very much, and I will take full responsibility for her safety. The queen didn't know that this sentence would make Lin Qian even more worried.
Elena has indeed changed the queen a lot, at least her "one day a week" has been canceled, and she no longer worries about her disobedient daughter, and every day the maids meet her with an undisguised smile on her face.
Lin Qian could naturally see that although he kept convincing himself that the queen really wanted to find a sustenance, he knew that the emperor's heart was unpredictable, and he didn't know what idea she wanted to fight.
"In this way, Her Majesty has bothered to bother. Lin Qian had no choice but to retreat and return to his empty room. This is the reason why Lin Qian is extremely reluctant to come here, once he is controlled by others, his actions cannot follow his own heart.
There was a sudden movement outside the door, Lin Qian reacted, and opened the door suddenly, only to see Meryl standing at the door, looking at him with a smile on her face.
"Is that you?" Lin Qian looked out the door and confirmed that she had come alone.
"I'm here to make good on what I promised you. Meryl said.
Lin Qian understood, she was going to take herself to the Divine Beast Valley, and immediately nodded: "Let's go." β
Meryl stood at the door, smiling, and asked, "Won't you invite me in?"
Lin Qian then remembered that she had attached a condition, so she let go of half of her body and invited her in to negotiate.
"Say, what do you want?" Lin Qian asked as he closed the door.
Meryl walked straight to the bed, sat down, licked her lips, and said in a flattering voice, "I want you." β
"I don't have time to joke with you. Lin Qian was stunned for a moment, and said impatiently.
"I've never joked with you. Meryl untied her clothes and tossed them to the hanger.
"You...... What the hell do you want to do?" Lin Qian didn't believe that she would be interested in a man who was more than ten years younger than her, this matter was full of transactional flavors.
"Don't tell me that you three flowery ladies have never touched each other. Meryl smiled and untied her coat and threw it on the hanger, revealing her two round shoulders and snow-white arms.
"What if I say yes?" Lin Qian found a seat and sat down, looking like he was watching a good show.
"Then all I can say is that I made a lot of money. Meryl's face was red, and it seemed that she was not good at it, and her performance was very unnatural.
"Are you taking me for Achill?" Lin Qian's eyes didn't leave her body for a moment, but his tone was unusually cold.
"No," Meryl said seductively, pulling off her dress, exposing her entire calves and knees, "you're not like him, you'll never be in control." β
Lin Qian swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and secretly sighed in his heart that his concentration was still too poor, and he would definitely train hard to concentrate when he went back this time.
"Aren't you going to sit yet?" Meryl was extremely confident in her body, but she felt a trace of shame when she was alone, so that she couldn't get rid of the last cover, and could only hope for Lin Qian's initiative.
"Aren't you going to continue? I thought you were going to do a dismantling dance. Lin Qian casually took a glass of water and took a sip, looking like a guest.
Meryl clenched her fists, her palms were full of sweat, things were completely different from what she imagined, did she really have to take off all her clothes in front of him, but she faced this cold face...... How?
