Chapter 267: Generous Gifts
Vera Griffin is an orc, a slender three-tailed fox demon who seems to be very shrewd, but in fact she is not as good at demagogy as she looks, on the contrary, she is quite easy to trust people. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
If it weren't for this guy, Natalia would not have suddenly intervened in the war of the entire orc statehood, this feeling is as if Natalia and Vera Griffin were eating in the same restaurant at that time, and when they checked out, they happened to stand up at the same time, and they started chatting with each other after going out, so Vera found that Natalia was simply like-minded, and had good ideas on some issues, so she suddenly said to her, why don't you join us too?
- Cleverness is very clever, but with a little less thought, even after that she rose to a high position, she never changed, and finally when she gave Natalia that charm, she was already the most important minister in charge of the kingdom's finances. Even so, her personality has never changed.
However, the color of this charm is not the same as Vera Griffin's coat, and Natalia has never thought too much about it.
By the way, Vera Griffin isn't her real name, and you can't expect orc names to be the same as human names, they're pretty good enough to just speak human language, and it's hard to get a name that humans can tell. The name Vera Griffin is just a transliteration of the custom of human language. In fact, in the same way, the god of the elves naturally has his name in the elven language, but the name has so many syllables that humans can't remember it if they want to, and it's always the same as nothing, even the tongue of a magician can hardly pronounce it.
Using Vera as a lead, Natalia gradually intervened in the camp of the orcs and elves, helping the orcs establish their country on the southern side of the elven jungle, and formally forming an alliance with the elves, in every sense. Natalia played a big role back then - if it hadn't been for the development that exceeded everyone's expectations at the time, Natalia's contribution might have been even higher.
But after all, it was the help given at that time, the technical and relational support given was genuine, after the establishment of the country and everything came to an end, how could this ornament given by Vera as a thank you gift for this series of help be just an ordinary magic container. If there is only this level, with Vera's character, it will definitely not be sent.
Or just as a gadget that is not on the table to give Natalia, don't forget, Natalia was the top alchemist at the time, and she also led the most powerful team of alchemists in the world......
Someone else's gift, of course Natalia will accept it at that time, there is no habit of shirking it in this world, and accepting it generously is the most appropriate etiquette, and being polite will be a little unsightly...... Originally, sending this to the Great Alchemist was a bit of an axe.
Vera didn't explain anything at the time, it was still when there were only two people, Natalia and Vera, Vera gave it to Natalia in private, didn't say anything, and Natalia didn't think much about it at that time. Although after returning to the workshop, various examinations were made on this little fox's tail, but except for the magic container, there really wasn't much worth mentioning, and this matter was quickly forgotten by everyone with the impact of some sudden changes in some things later. Even the pendant itself, whether it was left in the workshop for a while or whether Natalia carried it with her for a while, no one can remember clearly.
"You don't really think it's just a normal magician."
The figure was very surprised, and repeated it again. Perhaps, in its conjecture, Natalia ...... Or Carlil, who should have known the true function of this thing for a long time, although she should not be able to guess what was inside, but at least she could figure out its function.
Even if you don't know what's in the bottle, you can always get a rough idea of the shape and texture of the bottle, right?
"Looks like I've failed a lot of good intentions," Karil pulled out the small pinch of fox fur that was pressed under her clothes and stroked it lightly in her hand. As if recalling something, he shook his head a little apologetically, and put it in his hand again: "At that time...... I really didn't find out, you know, what happened after that...... It came too fast. ”
It's rare for Kahlil to find an excuse to shirk it, but it's not all excuses, and that's one of the reasons.
"Alas......" the figure sighed in the air, "I can't imagine that you really haven't understood that Karil has used this thing several times since her recovery." ”
When Kahlil just woke up, the recovery of the mana on her body was not completed, and there was no more to use at hand, this pendant was a solution to several urgent needs, for the beginning of Karil, it was simply a relief in the snow.
"But with the use of the magicians, the magicians use the magic step by step all day long, and a few of them understand what the essence of the elements is, right?" Probably because the other party suddenly became a mature person, the atmosphere was much more cordial, and Karil even sold a little cute, covering her right hand with her cuffs and shaking it next to her head and shook it from side to side.
"It's indeed made of hair taken from the fox demon's body, but it's not Vera Griffin's hair" The figure shook his head noncommittally, expressing disdain for Karil's analogy, and explained to himself: "You know, the coat color is different. This is another fox, the oldest and most powerful fox in Vera's tribe, and commissioned by the elven craftsmen. In fact, Vera originally wanted to make a bracelet out of this handful of fox hair, but unfortunately the weight was too small, and in the end she had to retreat to make a pendant, but fortunately it was comfortable enough to hang around her neck...... Looks good too. ”
The figure turned its head slightly and glanced at Kaliel, his gaze back and forth between Karil's neck and the fox's tail fur in his hands.
"And," he paused, and then moved on to something else: "You know, that white wolf had something unusual before the founding ceremony, right?" ”
That's what happened for a while. It can only be said that in the period before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, too many things happened, and it was obviously after the end of the war, but it was more complicated and changeable than during the war, and even more tortuous.
"Yes, back then...... It's just that if I don't ask about it, Vera won't talk to me about it. You know, it doesn't do me any good to ask about that. Kahlil lowered the pendant in her hand, letting the fox fur hang naturally on her chest.
Natalia was an outsider after all, a human who didn't belong to either tribe on either side of them. Where help is needed, where help can be helped, just a little help, knowing too many things in it doesn't mean anything to Natalia, and is even more likely to cause more danger.
But among the orc generals, the famous white wolf Kahlil still knew that he was a serious and serious-looking guy, and at the same time brave and good at fighting, and he was also famous at the time. It's just that Natalia doesn't know him, and he only met from afar when Natalia attended some of the occasions. When it comes to it, I only hear it, but I don't see the reality.
Such a guy had some changes before the founding ceremony, and there would still be some rumors more or less, and what Carlil knew at the time was just these rumors.
"At that time, the white wolf, I am afraid that it was really just a redistribution of troops for security reasons, and other parts may also have his own unique considerations. Our worries are premature......" The figure sighed with emotion, letting out a long sigh of relief in front of Kaliel. It's just that there is no sound of exhalation, just such an action.
"You mean 'we'?"
Kahlil keenly picked out another important point of this sentence, that is, Natalia is a big guest, and it is impossible to participate in decision-making, so there is no worry or worry, and he will let him say this, of course, there is someone else.
"Yes, actually, after you first came to the Claustrophobic Sanctuary, I essentially joined the Elven Council. Of course, this is only an internal matter for us. The figure closed his eyes: "It's also because of you, Vera's activities among the elves are increasing day by day, and sometimes she already has the appearance of an orc elven diplomat, which means that many things, even if they don't go through her decision, will be known to her." ”
"And then you guys, including Vera Griffin, analyzed and discussed the White Wolf together?" Kahlil couldn't help but ask, according to the previous article, this is an easy inference to draw.
"Yes, at that time we were faced with the question of whether to choose trust, you know that in the orc's own tribal war, the white wolf had a precedent of betrayal, and unfortunately Vera Griffin was on the betrayed side." The figure closed his eyes and continued, "If it were you, would you believe it?" The founding ceremony is just around the corner, and there is no choice but yes or no, and there is not enough time for us to collect enough clues, so we can only make direct judgments. ”
"I didn't know, he had betrayed these things before" Carlil shook her head, "So that time, you chose to trust?" ”
It seems that this is the reason why this guy met and came up and asked a question like that.
"Yes, or maybe Vera Griffin and I worked together to convince both the elves and the orcs to trust the white wolf."
"But how did things turn out like they ended up like they did?" Karil's eyebrows furrowed.
"The rebellion of the white wolf? Yes, that's right, he didn't rebel at that time, but the real rebellion was caused from that time. The figure suddenly opened his eyes, although he couldn't see the details of his eyes clearly, but the light of his pupils could still be recognized: "Although the elves and orcs finally accepted my and Vera Griffin's opinion, they couldn't let the white wolf leave it alone, and the white wolf was still aware of the secret defense behavior, and he was very dissatisfied. ”
It is really not a good feeling to fight on the battlefield for the sake of the country, and finally have to be suspected or even secretly fortified by your own country.
"So? He ended up rebelling? Karil asked tentatively, thinking that this should not be over so soon.
After the founding of the country, Natalia left there and returned to her workshop, and soon after the breakup between Raymond and Florosa, Natalia's life took a sharp turn for the worse. While she was struggling with all sorts of things, the newly established orc kingdom had crumbled and finally collapsed in the years she hadn't noticed.
"It's not directly, it's true that suspicion has been the main theme of both sides from here, but it's you humans who are really driving things in the worst direction...... You human ...... Well...... Discord meter. The figure said, looking at Karil with a very complicated look, which was so clear that even if Karil couldn't actually see the other person's face, he could feel it personally.
"Who is it?"
"No, I don't know, I don't know much about the specifics from here." The figure sighed: "Because I've ...... It's no longer in a claustrophobic place. (To be continued.) )
