Chapter 2018 - Next Generation
Can a five-sentence battle fool these political bigwigs in the past?
Obviously, no!
So what to do?
Do you want me to make up a fierce and brutal battle scene of more than 10,000 words?
Those princes and ministers who are not adventurers may believe it, after all, they are laymen, as long as the process is brilliantly depicted, whether it is true or not, they will listen to it with relish.
But what about those princes and ministers who have good strength?
Especially the six elders and the two empresses, they didn't rub sand in their eyes, and flaws the size of rice grains could be spied on.
They may not point out my lies to my face, but it is embarrassing and embarrassing to do so behind my back, and the most frightening thing is that if the word of lying is accidentally spread, someone may put the label of 'liar' and 'fame-seeker' on my head.
Even though I don't care much about reputation, I'm certainly not happy that this little thing is openly smeared.
So, I decided to tell the truth.
Just as I was about to speak, Grand Elder Prisla suddenly smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the matter of slaying the dragon is a major event of the same level as the pacification of the calamity, and Elder An Xiaoyi has such a feat, which is the glory of my Moonlight City, and it is also the blessing of the people of my Moonlight City!" β
"Chen believes that the narration of the dragon slaying process can not only reflect the strength of Elder An Xiaoyi, but also strengthen the confidence and cohesion of the people of my Moonlight City!"
"The minister proposes to give Elder An Xiaoyi some time, let him prepare a detailed record of the battle process, and set up a high platform in the center of the town, and let him personally tell this glory to every citizen of Moonlight City!"
"Your Majesty, the minister agrees with the Great Elder's suggestion," said an old man who looked not too old.
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
......
For a while, in the main hall, the voice of seconding the proposal was endless, and if the mosquitoes were chirping, people were anxious to hear it, and they really wanted to slap them one by one and crush them all to death.
At this moment, Elder Sonoda Mai suddenly stood up and said in a loud voice, "Are you treating Your Majesty as air when you are making such a noise during the court discussion?" β
As soon as these words came out, the hall was suddenly silent.
Elder Sonoda Mai's gaze swept over everyone, and finally stopped on my face, she sneered and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being outspoken and innocent. β
The Fairy Empress bowed slightly: "Yes!" β
"All of you here are all famous nobles, even if you haven't been an adventurer or read a few books, at least during the tea party, you should know a little about dragons and other things."
"How strong is a dragon that can be defeated by the strength of one person?" Elder Sonoda Mai couldn't help but sneer: "Don't laugh, take the recent case of exterminating the dragon as an example, it was 1,400 years ago, a crusade team composed of seven national forces crusaded against it, and the result of the crusade was that one person was killed and three were seriously injured. β
"Got it?" Elder Sonoda Mai raised his eyes and looked around, his gaze swept over everyone's faces again, and many ministers who echoed the voice not only blushed with shame, but also lowered their heads.
"Elder Sonoda Mai" Elder Prisla looked at him sharply and said coldly, "When you say this, are you mocking Your Majesty's ignorance? β
"Grand Elder Prisla, are you playing with right and wrong?" Elder Sonoda said unhurriedly.
"Do I move it?" Grand Elder Prisla sneered, "It's Your Majesty who asked Elder An Xiaoyi to tell the dragon slaying process!" β
"It's Your Majesty, that's right," Elder Sonoda Mai smiled slightly: "But Your Majesty didn't say that questioning is not allowed." β
"Are you questioning Your Majesty?" Prisla's big elder's pupils shrank suddenly, and his gaze was like a needle and an arrow.
"I'm questioning Elder An Xiaoyi's dragon slaying" Facing the piercing gaze, Elder Sonoda Wu greeted him without showing weakness: "Just like Your Majesty said before, this matter is originally a folk rumor, and we all know that folk rumors are half-true and half-false, and it is common to exaggerate the facts. β
Grand Elder Prisla wanted to braided again, when he heard a crisp sound in his earsβit was the sound of the moonlight scepter hitting the ground, and the Great Elder was startled, and immediately shut up honestly and stood back in place.
Sitting on top of the high, the fairy queen was not angry or happy, and said in a flat tone: "What the two elders said is reasonable, Grand Elder Prisla wants to raise the prestige of our country and unite the hearts of the people, and his sincerity can be seen, Elder Sonoda Dance is not disturbed by external objects, and strives for the truth, this spirit is commendable." β
The two elders bowed in thanksgiving.
The Fairy Empress continued: "Although it is very important to unite the hearts of the people and boost the prestige of our country, I want to know more if the matter of Elder An Xiaoyi slaying the dragon is true, if it is false, then control the rumors, publicize the truth, and let the people know the facts. β
"Do as Your Majesty wishes!"
After that, the empress looked at me again: "Xiao Yi, tell me, did you really slay the dragon?" β
I thought for a moment and slowly spoke: "Yes......"
In an instant, there were exclamations in the main hall, some surprised, some sneered, some curious, some disdainful, Elder Sonoda frowned, and Priss pulled the corner of Elder Prism's lips into a smile.
β...... Neither is it. β
Everyone in the hall was in an uproar again, and Elder Sonoda Mai's slightly frowning brows slowly relaxed, but his eyebrows were full of incomprehension.
Looking at Grand Elder Prisla again, his face turned instantaneous, but it only lasted for a few seconds before he returned to his normal color again.
"Elder An Xiaoyi" Elder Mera stepped out with an unkind face, and said: "This is a court discussion, a sacred place to answer the questions of the two Majesies, you are like this, are you suspected of teasing Your Majesty?" β
"How dare I tease the empress's grandmother" He smiled, I said: "First of all, she is the king, I am the minister, the minister tells the truth to the king, this is the duty, secondly, she is the elder, I am the junior, the younger generation tells the truth to the elders, this is respect, and finally, I am her grandson-in-law, the closest kind of relationship, since the relationship is so close, why should I lie?" β
Elder Mera's face changed, and after a little, she squeezed out a smile and said, "In that case, please ask Elder An Xiaoyi to solve your doubts." β
"This is natural," I smiled, "After all, Elder Mera has never experienced dragon slaying, so he is naturally blank about this kind of thing, but I am quite curious, since it is a blank space, why does Elder Mera question me?" Is it because I said a contradictory sentence that deserves to be questioned like this? He even didn't hesitate to move out with Her Majesty the Empress and Her Majesty the Elven Empress to threaten me? β
Elder Mera's face turned pale, and he forcibly suppressed his anger: "I'm just worried that you are young, lest some inappropriate words will collide with Your Majesty." β
I smiled: "Then you can worry too much, the ignorant grandson collides with grandma, this is not a common thing, I believe that the empress grandmother has never hated me." β
As I spoke, I turned to the Fairy Empress and chuckled, "Hello next generation." β
