With a slight movement of my footsteps, I decided to give up on investigating the crying thing.

The most important thing now is to find out where the castle lord stands.

With this in mind, I quickened my pace and walked deeper into the inner courtyard.

The deeper I went into the inner courtyard, I noticed that the crying became more and more intense, and faintly, I could hear whispered words of comfort mixed with the crying.

This comforting word is obvious, and it is the voice of a mature woman.

I held my breath and listened carefully, and soon came to a conclusion: this should be a mother and daughter, the daughter is crying, and the mother is coaxing.

After listening carefully for a long time, I finally made out the general location of the cry, which was a room deep in the inner courtyard.

Anyway, I have to go through the inner courtyard, so I just stop by and eavesdrop on why this kid is crying.

Cautiously, I found the room where the cry was sourced, but it only stayed a few meters away from the door - there were two guards guarding the door, and I felt that the strength of the two guards should not be weak, and they were not at the same level as the guards who cut off the perimeter of the City Lord's Mansion.

Before I could determine the position of the lord of the castle, it was not appropriate to make an unannounced appearance, so I decided to lurk in a corner a few meters away from the wall, relying on my powerful sense of hearing, eavesdropping on the sounds inside the house.

Originally, I was deaf and clear, but now with the blessing of the level, my five senses are more acute, even if there is a wall partition, even if the sound inside is very weak, I can still hear it clearly, without hindrance.

Soon, the reason for the child's crying was found, and he was looking for his father.

In other words, Moonlight City doesn't seem to hold the 'Where's Daddy Going' event, right?

Continue to listen carefully, and soon, the mature woman's voice coaxing the child sounded again: "Don't cry, don't cry, Dad is busy now, and he will come back when he is done." ”

The child didn't care about his mother's persuasion, and still cried vigorously to find his father.

After crying for more than twenty minutes, the mature woman seemed to be very helpless, and her voice sounded again: "Tell Murray that his daughter has started crying again to find her father." ”

"But Madam, Lord Castle, he is in a meeting, and no one is allowed to disturb him without permission......"

"You can't let your child cry all the time," the woman said, "I know it's critical, but it's just for a while, and it only takes up a moment of his time." ”

“...... Okay, ma'am, I'll try it. ”

Then, a middle-aged woman dressed as a maid walked briskly out of the room and towards the inner courtyard.

I lurked in the corner, motionless, and continued to listen to the cries of children and the coaxing of mature women.

After about twenty minutes, there was the sound of heavy and hurried footsteps at the door, and I peeked to see a handsome elf man, dressed in military uniform, walking briskly into the room, followed by the middle-aged maid I had seen earlier.

"Daddy!" A slightly hoarse child's voice sounded, and the child was embraced into his father's arms.

"Baby don't cry, Daddy is here."

It was a kind and nice elven male voice.

This was followed by a few minutes of conversation between father and daughter.

A few minutes later.

"She's asleep," the man said.

"She kept crying for her father, which made me very ashamed to be a mother," the woman said.

"Don't say that, you've done a good job," the man said, "The child comes to me again and again, not because you, a mother, have done a bad job, but because I, a father, have done a dereliction of duty, so that she always feels that she may lose me." ”

As he spoke, the man sighed deeply.

"Don't blame yourself too much, you are the lord of the city, you have to think about the people of a city, so naturally you don't have time to spend with your children," the woman said.

A brief silence ensued.

"How's it going?" The woman was the first to break the silence and said.

"The rebel offensive has stopped for the time being, and I heard that there are some problems in the rebel camp, thanks to the newly appointed Elder."

"Your Majesty's vision must be the most correct, since it is the elder chosen by Your Majesty, it must be a pillar of civil and military talent, he will definitely help us solve the problem" The woman said: "We just need to believe in Your Majesty and believe in the elders." ”

"I believe in Your Majesty, and I believe in the Elders, but right now, the situation is critical, and the rebels are dozens of times larger than our army, I'm afraid this time ......" The man's voice was unusually heavy.

"Don't think so, we'll be able to save the day," the woman comforted.

"If something really happens, Debi, take our daughter, find Your Majesty, beg Your Majesty to adopt our daughter, and tell Your Majesty that I, Murray, have not succumbed to any rebellious force even in death, and my heart is like the verdant ivy, the eternal unchanging Queen."

The man's voice was unusually resolute, even, with a determination to die.

This is not a tone that a person can disguise.

Perhaps, it's time for me to show up.

"If you say these words in front of the Empress, the effect is better."

I slowly stepped out of the shadows, startled that the two guards forgot to take a fighting stance.

"What people!" The handsome male elf walked out with a long sword in his hand, his expression guarded and majestic.

"Let me introduce, my name is An Xiaoyi, and I am a new foreign elder."

"Don't come!" The handsome male elf's long sword was raised, and the two guards beside him also pulled out the knight's long sword, and the tip of the sword was full of murderous aura towards me.

As a sign of harmlessness, I spread my hands out and raised them flat over my shoulders to show cooperation.

"You say you're a new elder?" The male elf said, "Is there any evidence?" ”

That's a fucking question!

How do I prove that I am me?

My eyes twitched, and I instantly fell into a state of downtime.

Who am I and where am I?

These are questions that can kill a whole wave of philosophers in an instant, and now you ask me, how do I answer them?

"This ...... You have to prove that how do you think I can prove that I am me before you can believe it? ”

Obviously, the Ivy City Lord who asked this question had never thought about what the standard answer to this question was, maybe it was just a spur of the moment, and it came to mind randomly.

His expression stiffened, and he stayed for a long time before he said: "You stand there and don't move, I will send someone to contact Her Majesty the Fairy Empress to confirm your identity, if you are a fake, don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”

After saying that, he whispered a few words, and the middle-aged maid who was attached to the ear on the side nodded her head and left quickly.

The stalemate lasted for almost half an hour, and my hands were very sore, but I didn't dare to move, for fear that any action would be judged by the other party to have offensive intentions, and then attacked me mercilessly.

I don't know the strength of the other party, if his strength is similar to that of Boss Rennes, plus two guards to help from the side, I will definitely be pressed and beaten.

I like to do the beating of the reservoir dogs, but I don't like people to beat me as a reservoir dog, that feeling is too embarrassing.

After another ten minutes, well, a full forty minutes in total, I felt that my arm was no longer my own, so I licked my face and asked, "Can I put my hand down first, it's very tiring to hold like this?" ”
