Chapter 1497: No Portion of Yours
My words silenced everyone present.
It took two minutes for the Elven Empress to speak; "If you don't show the proof, what better way do you have to prove your innocence?"
"No," I said, shaking my head.
"No?" The Elven Empress said solemnly, "Aren't you going to prove yourself? β
"I didn't do anything, so why prove it?" With a light breath, I continued: "Actually, to put it bluntly, promoting a human race as an elder of the elven race, this kind of thing, needs to be carried out under great pressure, and it needs to be maintained under greater pressure, presumably during the time I have been an elder, the empress, you and the empress's grandmother must have suffered a lot of pressure, here, I can only say sorry to you, it is because of me that you feel pressure and trouble." β
"What are you talking about, Elder An Xiaoyi," the Elven Empress said, "I promoted you because of your ability, if you are just an ordinary adventurer, even if you bribe me with a heavy reward, it is impossible to become an elder." β
"Yes, you're right, I do have the strength to become an elder, but the timing is not right" I shook my head and said: "The elves of this era still uphold the ancient customs and concepts, of course, I am not saying that the ancient customs and concepts are not good, since they can withstand the test and screening of thousands of years, even if they are not the most correct, they must be the most suitable for the elves." β
Taking a deep breath, I continued: "Concepts are like hats, what is good-looking may not be suitable, and what is suitable may not necessarily be good-looking, the fact that you appointed me as an elder of a foreign tribe is like a good-looking hat, but this hat may not be suitable for your clansmen, this incident is an example. β
The Elven Empress's breathing gradually became short, she was trying to suppress her excitement, and after a long while, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Elder An Xiaoyi's words are not unreasonable, in this case, how do you think this matter should be handled in order to calm down the negative wave." β
"It's simple," I said, "take away my title of elder, take back my nobility, and when I become a commoner again, those who look at me unpleasantly will keep their mouths shut appropriately, and those who are dissatisfied with your appointment of me will be appropriately restrained." β
The Elven Empress frowned slightly, silent.
At this time, Grand Elder Prisla, who was standing at the forefront, suddenly said, "If you act according to your words, and in the end those people still refuse to let go of Your Majesty and you, what should I do to expel you?" If expelling you can put an end to all this, even if you are expelled against your conscience, I will admit it, but what if those people still do not forgive you after you have been expelled? Do you want to force Your Majesty to abdicate and elect the leader of the Momentum Maker to become the new emperor of Moonlight City? β
"Elder An Xiaoyi" Elder Prisla said in a deep voice: "Now you, you should not give up the position of elder, but continue to live in Moonlight City as an elder, as long as you don't give up for a day, those people will not point the finger at our innocent and kind majesty, and as long as you persist for one more day, the momentum builders will come up with more diverse, even presumptuous ways to expel you, the more presumptuous they are, the longer the tail will be exposed, and the greater the chance of us catching them, as long as we catch them all, we will definitely be able to return you to a clean slate." β
At the end of the day, Elder Prisla's attitude was one of a detached elder.
Although I don't have a good impression of her, I have to admit that what I said just now was indeed for the purpose of protecting the Elven Empress and stabilizing Moonlight City, and at the same time, it was also an encouragement to me, but this encouragement, like a pair of invisible big hands, pushed me forward and acted as a shield for the Elven Empress.
This makes me feel very unhappy, but I have no choice but to do it, even if I don't look at the face of the elf empress and the elders, I have to look at the face of the fairy empress, after all, until now, this grandmother who has an absolute dominance in Moonlight City has not said a word, and looking at her expression with a shallow smile, she may have already had a countermeasure to this public opinion incident, but now she does not plan to say the countermeasure, but quietly watch everyone pretend.
is worthy of the woman who mixed with Old Man Taylor back then, this grandmother is really cunning enough.
After Prisla said this, the other elders also started the conversation, and for a while there were different opinions, some agreed with the Great Elder's point of view, some felt that it was more appropriate for me to abdicate, and some felt that the Great Elder's words made sense for a while, and some favored letting me abdicate for a while.
Listening to everyone's chatter, I had the illusion of seeing an old lady haggling in the vegetable market.
There is a good saying, three women in one play.
Right now, except for Elder Jennifer, who is silent, the other five elders are even more noisy than some variety shows, I think the five of them just can't fly, if they have the talent of the fairy royal family to fly, maybe I can see a more exciting scene.
Ten minutes had passed, and the quarrel was still going on, and the Elven Empress was a little impatient, and she turned her gaze to the Elf Empress uneasily, hoping that her old man would speak out to stop it.
But the fairy queen had no intention of stopping her, and her old man was sitting firmly on the throne, watching the elders in the audience make a lot of noise.
The fairy queen was interested in watching the excitement, and the elf queen, who was a junior, was not easy to spoil her, so she had to breathe lightly, straighten her posture, and continue to look down with the empress's appearance.
After another twenty minutes, the quarrel of the elders finally faded, not because they were out of words, but because they quarreled for half an hour, everyone was tired and thirsty, their throats and eyes were hot, and their voices were a little hoarse, and they couldn't even secrete saliva, and they were arguing.
As a result, the conference room returned to calm.
The Fairy Empress smiled slightly, and with a flick of the moonlight weight in her hand, several clouds of water that looked extremely clear floated in front of the six elders...... Don't have my share?
The Fairy Empress said in a deep voice, "This is not water made by water magic, but from a mountain spring in the place where I once lived, the spring water moistens my throat, extinguishes the fire, and drinks." β
Without saying a word, Elder Jennifer opened her mouth and swallowed the water mass in front of her.
Elder Prisla hesitated for a moment, then swallowed the water ball.
Seeing that the Grand Elder and Elder Jennifer had done this, the other elders resisted, but they also swallowed the water ball.
I always feel a little uncomfortable when I see the refreshing feeling after the elders swallow the water ballβalthough I have been framed and saddled with an untrue crime, and I may even lose the title of elder because of this crime, but that is also in the future, why do other elders have water balls to eat, but I don't?
Thinking of this, I stood up and complained to myself: "Grandma Empress, where is my water ball?" β
"It's not your share," the Fairy Empress said lightly.
