Chapter 716: Little Family
Sometimes the word 'war' is not taken seriously when it is said, and sometimes it becomes very cruel when it is said, depending on who says it. Bayi Chinese β.
If it were me, even if I repeated it hundreds of times a day, it might not have any effect, at most it would make Cagalli feel irritated and beat me up, and that's it.
But if the word came out of the mouth of the Elven Empress, it would be appalling.
As the supreme leader of the Elven Race, the lord of a huge town, and the emperor of a country, any words and actions of the Elven Empress may have an impact on the situation of Zephyr 6.
Now, when she said it to my face, I had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
In order not to be dragged into the water as much as possible, I said to the Elven Empress, "Ahem, Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I don't know anything about war. β
The Elven Empress didn't speak, just squinted at me with an expression that seemed to say, "You're lying."
Well, I'll admit, I'm lying, but I've long known about war: monster farming is the killing between humans and monsters; War is the killing of people.
How could I not understand such a simple truth, but I really don't want to be involved in such a messy incident.
I saw that the Elven Empress had been staring at me with 'you are lying' and did not waver in the slightest, and I knew that no matter how much I explained, she would probably not be able to listen to her, so I sighed and sat down opposite the Empress and looked at her.
That's the only thing I can do so far, in other words, to shake you with my eyes.
However, it seems that this method is not very feasible, after all, Sakuragi Hanamichi has been scratched by a cat for this reason.
After staring at the Elven Empress for a while, Emily walked out with a plate of things.
The Elven Empress was the first to withdraw her gaze and motioned for Emily to place the tray on the tea table and push it towards me.
I also retracted my eyes and looked at the tray, only to see that on the tray, there were two pieces of equipment, exuding a faint brilliance, at first glance, it seemed as if there was a streamer flowing on the surface.
"This is ......," I wondered.
"These were two precious pieces of enchanted equipment crafted by my elven forge master," the elven queen said, "to thank you for convincing the goblin to give us the golem blueprints." β
I was taken aback by her words, waved my hand again and again, and said, "Don't mind, I really can't afford this gift, the puppet blueprint was asked for by Lirea on the initiative of the goblin king, I really didn't play any role in this, at most it was a decoration." β
"You don't have to be modest," the Elven Empress said, "Lirea has already told me that the Goblin King is willing to agree to hand over the drawings to us for the sake of your face, and I can also tell you very clearly that the creation of puppets is indeed of great significance to us elves." β
"So," the Elven Empress smiled, "although they are not as precious as the magical equipment, these two pieces of enchanted equipment were also created by the hands of a very authoritative master of our elven clan, and that master, even in the era of legendary heroes, was equally famous. β
Hearing this, I almost understood the meaning of these two pieces of enchanted equipment.
But the more I understood the meaning and value of equipment, the more I couldn't easily accept it.
After all, the hands of people are short, the mouth of eating people is short, once such a valuable thing is accepted by me, then once the elf empress makes any more requests, it is difficult for me to refuse.
Since I didn't want to accept it, I couldn't shirk it, so I had to change the topic, so I asked the Elven Empress, "Your Excellency, do you have anything else to ask me?" β
The Elven Empress didn't speak, but narrowed her eyes slightly, her expression was very indifferent, and she couldn't tell if there was something wrong or nothing.
So, I chose to continue: "Your Majesty, if there is anything you want to ask me for, say it, and if I can help with it, I will do my best, and as for these two precious treasures, please take them back." β
The Elven Empress sighed, a little disappointed, but also a little relieved, and she asked me again, "Are you sure you don't want to?" This is a thank you for helping us get the golem blueprints. β
"Don't," I refused, but my eyes were fixed on the faint streamer of light on the enchanted equipment.
After a few seconds, I tilted my head and looked away from my gear.
The Elven Empress waved her hand, and Emily picked up the equipment tray and walked out again, presumably to put the enchanted equipment in its original position.
Hey, to be honest, I'm really rare for these two pieces of enchanted equipment, although they are not magic equipment, but you can feel from the Ambilight that their value is definitely no worse than magic equipment.
I breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the Elven Empress, and said, "Can you say it now, Your Majesty?" β
The Elven Empress let out an 'um' and said, "You should know a lot about the legendary heroic squire of Ari City, or rather, you should have more information than I do, right?" β
As soon as I heard that it was about Achilles, I nodded and said, "I do know a little about Achilles, although I don't know how much you know about Achilles, but I think it will not be less than me." β
The Elven Empress shook her head: "No, I don't know much, and most of them are from my subjects, what do you think about Achilles' murder of foreigners?" β
I spread my hands and said, "I don't have any opinion, he will kill whoever he likes, and it has nothing to do with me." β
"Are you speaking from the standpoint of a Terran?" The Elven Empress asked.
"No, I'm speaking from the standpoint of a human adventurer," I said, "although Achilles is a heinous executioner to many people, and of course, some say that he is a great hero, but whether it is an executioner or a hero, it has nothing to do with me, I just want to make sure that my family is safe." β
After hearing this, the Elf Empress nodded: "There is some truth in your words, and it can be understood, but it is a little petty." β
I complained unhappily in my heart: What's wrong with the little family, what I said is the truth, it's all the truth, I'm not like you, one by one, in a high position, in charge of the kingship, enjoying glory and wealth, I'm just an ordinary adventurer, a little money, with my fiancΓ©e to live a safe life, nothing to talk about with friends, drinking, this is the greatest happiness, as for what is the boldness for the country and the people, sorry, forgive me for my limited ability, and I don't want to worry about these things.
The Elven Empress continued, "The envoy of Dasai City, who has just left, has sent me a message that 'the adventurer mercenaries of Ari City have invaded the territory of Dasai City and killed some of the local residents'. β
