Chapter 1192: Being a Gunman
Cagalli heard my doubts, thought for a moment, and said in a low voice: "I can't think about this question for a while, so it's better to go home and discuss it." ”
With that, she winked at me.
I calmed down immediately, now that there is civil strife outside Moonlight City, no one can guarantee whether the wall has ears, but for such private content, it is better to wait until I get home, close the door, close the window, and then discuss it slowly.
At that moment, I was silent and walked back to the tree house with everyone.
When they got home, they had already prepared a series of delicacies such as barbecue, and they were looking forward to us coming back to have a party to celebrate the success of the official seal.
The most popular delicacy is the black beef jerky.
Speaking of black beef jerky, I originally gave a box to the Elf Empress, but looking at the expression on her face, she was helpless with a wry smile, speechless and difficult to refuse, and hesitated for a long time before she reluctantly accepted it.
Before leaving the palace, I also specially told the empress: "There is a lot of beef jerky, I will bring it to you after eating." ”
Now that I think about it, I'm abrupt - isn't the elf queen not eating meat, the last time she ate, the empress was fed a piece of meat by her sister, and scolded her sister angrily for a long time, this matter was originally vivid, but God knows why I forgot about this kind of thing when I sent black hair beef jerky to the empress!
Speaking of which, the Elf Empress also gave me enough face, she didn't eat meat, but she was stuffed with a box of beef jerky, and she didn't throw it away with black beef jerky on the spot, she was already extraordinary, not to mention that she had no choice but to accept it...... Oh, the more I think about it, the more ashamed I feel.
I covered my face with my forehead, and felt my cheeks burn.
At this time, someone gently slapped me under the ribs, and I turned my head slightly to look: it was a phoenix.
Phoenix's face was full of worry, and said, "Xiao Yi, do you have a fever, your face is so red......
She stretched out her little hand again and touched it, so she was even more worried: "It's good to be hot......"
"It's okay," I said, "I don't have a fever, it's just a natural reaction to shame, and it's the same type as eating lemons and wrinkling my nose." ”
"Why should you be ashamed?" Phoenix's worry subsided slightly, but curiosity rose.
"What can Xiao Yi be ashamed of, I think most of them are the scourge of which girl, I'm embarrassed to tell you about it!"
Before Billy could finish his sentence, he was stuffed with a mouthful of barbecue by Godot.
Ignoring Billy's sarcasm, I sighed and told me about sending the Elven Empress Black Beef Jerky.
The first to speak was Princess Analita, who was holding a wine bottle in one hand and tearing a roasted beef leg while tearing it out, and said, "Sister, it's time for her to change her habit of not eating meat, how delicious the black beef jerky is, I can't eat enough, right, sister?" ”
Princess Anareta was happily nibbling on black beef jerky, and she didn't have time to answer at all, just a perfunctory 'hmm' twice.
"Look, sister, she also agrees" Princess Analita took a sip of wine and continued: "Xiao Yi, you don't have to blame yourself, when my sister and I are free, I have to change the bad habit of the imperial sister!" ”
With that, she poured another mouthful.
I'm afraid this girl didn't drink too much......
It was the only thought that came to my mind after hearing Princess Anaryta's bold words.
With Princess Analita's drive, the atmosphere in the hall instantly became a lot more lively, Cagalli said: "You don't have to blame yourself too much for this, since Her Majesty the Empress is willing to accept the beef jerky, it means that she doesn't care too much about this matter, and she also received your affection, since the goal has been achieved, don't think too much." ”
Cagalli's words are not unreasonable, I think there were only me and the elven queen at that time, if the empress really refused to accept it, she would have directly refused, but since she was reluctant to accept it, it also means that although she resisted, she was generally acceptable.
If you want to open it, your mood will be comfortable, and when you are in a good mood, your appetite will naturally be good.
For one meal, I ate two boxes of black beef jerky, but I couldn't sleep at night, so I had no choice but to run to the yard for a walk.
Mr. Taylor also often walks in the yard, especially at night, I am because of the support, he is just because of the simple lack of sleep.
The two of us, old and young, were walking around in the yard and talking nonsense.
I told the old man the question I asked Cagalli on the way home, Taylor thought for a moment, and said, "If you want me to say, the appointment of you as an elder of a foreign clan is not because of the constant troubles in Moonlight City, but probably just a means used by Anasta to contain the royal family and nobles." ”
"Containment, you say?" I was puzzled.
"Not long ago, the assassination of Anareta's little girl does not show that the power of the royal family and the nobility is growing day by day, and it has reached the point where it can threaten the imperial power, in this case, Anasta will definitely not sit idly by, whether it is to maintain her position, or to protect her pair of sisters, she has to find a way to balance the strength of the current royal family and nobles, and the best way to balance it is to pull a foreigner into the circle of supreme power" Taylor smiled faintly and said: "And you are the best candidate." ”
"......I see," I felt a little relieved: "No wonder the Empress will entrust me with a heavy task, it turns out that it is mainly to balance the forces of several parties, it seems that I was careless and was used as a gun." ”
"It's not true that you said you were used as a gun," Taylor said, "Since she has made you an elder, she naturally hopes that you can stay here for a long time, and if you can stay for a lifetime, that is the result she wants most." ”
I smiled bitterly: "Old man, you better make it clear, I don't understand what you mean." ”
"I mean it very simply," Taylor said, "Anasta wants to use your name to make Moonlight City strong." ”
"In my name?" I spread my hands and said, "I'm not a great man, I'm not a star, what fame can I have?" ”
"You are the godson of Master Dewey of Vechburg, this alone is enough" Taylor said: "The combat power of the dwarves, the wisdom of the goblins, no matter which of these two points, completely explodes the elves, and even the goblins dare not say that they can surpass the current goblins in terms of science and technology, as the son of Dewey, whether the dwarves or the goblins will naturally respond to you, with such a backing, it is not enough for you to stink?" ”
I scratched my head and laughed.
"Anasta this child is similar to her grandmother, both in heart and vision are too ordinary, she is afraid that she has long seen your value, so she uses all kinds of benefits to find ways to keep you, even at the expense of the royal family, called Anarita, this girl is tired of being here, otherwise, you think Annarita is healed, why don't you go back to the palace to live" Speaking of this, Taylor shook his head and sighed: "Although your kid is much more mature than before, he is still just a child after all, and the problem is simple." ”
I grimaced and said, "Yes, you're right, I'm just immature." ”
With that, I sat cross-legged on the ground with a look of anger on my face.
Taylor smiled, and was about to speak, when suddenly his body suffocated, and he stretched out his hand like lightning, and recited a spell lightly to the void, and in an instant, an invisible shield opened.
