Is that where the elves come from?

I didn't expect that the elves who thought they were high up were once slaves of human beings. …… No, it could be even more miserable than the average slave. Because not only do they have no power, but because of the underlying code, it is impossible for this group to resist this unfair oppression for the rest of their lives.

However, since the elves have now become an intelligent race on an equal footing with humans, it means that the people of the Mayan world do not know how to control them. This probably involves some hidden history that is not well known.

"Please come in."

Commins bowed sincerely and respectfully, he naturally couldn't imagine what kind of amazing brainstorming the legendary wizard in front of him had just experienced. What Miss Real Name just said will probably only be regarded as wishful thinking that the people of the New World cannot understand, and it will inevitably attract the hostility of the elves.

…… Having said that, Richard, who had already decided to hide this secret, couldn't help but have a strange meaning when he looked at the elf in front of him.

*

Cummins was carefully choosing his words in his mind.

The others he had met in the past, whether they were nobles or warriors, who respected his strength as a master knight, or because of his status as a confidant of a great nobleman and as a former high-ranking member of the Templar Order, would take the initiative to express kindness and respect. It was the first time for him to bow his head and beg someone else.

The elf didn't feel any discomfort. As long as you don't violate your principles, it's not a shame to grovel to the strong, not to mention that it's yourself who has what you want from others now.

Of course, he couldn't wait for the legendary wizard to speak, and if the other party got impatient and turned away, he would miss this precious opportunity.

This is already the last straw left. Cummins Morningstar's only wish is to save the queen who she has always admired in her heart......

Elves are naturally good at and love art and poetry, and as an enlightened member of the clan, he is one of the best. He was able to become the head of one of the three major knights in the xenophobic Holy League as an alien, relying on more than just swordsmanship, and his language art was as popular as praise and eulogy.

However, when he actually confronted a wizarding leader, he found that the eloquence he was proud of seemed to be completely useless, and all the words he had woven were blocked in his throat.

"Lord Rasputin, I hope ......"

Therefore, the only thing he can do now is to frankly inform him of his appeal. Cummins believes this is the smart thing to do.

"I want you to save our queen, the treasure of the Rhine, the brightest jewel on the banks of the Agate, a poor woman who is now suffering from a curse......"

The elven knight bowed his handsome head and fell to one knee before the legendary wizard, speaking his plea with the most sincere and respectful courtesy.

Richard was a little abrupt,

According to the previous judgment, asking the wizard leader on the magic tower to dispel the curse on the queen was the ostensible reason for this group of noble delegations from the southern regions of the Rhine Kingdom; The real goal is to find a way to ask for an alliance with the rulers of the Magic Tower, and to get foreign help in the tension that is on the rise with the King's faction and the old nobles. It's just that I didn't expect that the members of "Steppenwolf" during this time were very busy and were in no mood to deal with this group of people at all. They had no choice but to leave.

But for this elven knight who was willing to stay on the tower, the apparent reason of the envoy group was the reason why he was really willing to risk his life to come here.

"Isn't the queen the king's woman? As a member of the new aristocracy, why do you want to save her? ”

Queen Mary was the daughter of the Duke of Hofburg, and her father, Archduke Franz, was an enlightened nobleman who had always sympathized with the plight of commoners and merchants, and had always maintained good relations with the new aristocracy, factory owners, and farmers in the south. Not to mention ......"

There was a hint of fanaticism and obsession on Cummins' face.

"Even if they are on different sides, the knights of the kingdom are willing to give their lives for Queen Mary. Because she is so kind, her heart is crystal clear, and she is deeply loved by the people. It is often said that Queen Mary is too pure to be like a woman who grew up in the boudoir of the court. ”

In the mouth of the elven knights, Queen Mary was a symbol of all the good things in the world, often praying in the monasteries and going out to the crowd to do good, and there was a wide range of supporters among the inhabitants of the city of Saint-Michel and throughout the kingdom, and countless young knights and nobles swore to give their lives for her, including even a powerful extraordinaire like Cummins Morningstar, who was far more popular than her husband.

This time, she unfortunately encountered the curse of the dark wizard and could not be expelled for a long time. At the thought of the queen still lying on the sickbed and unable to get up, countless men beat their chests, eager to sacrifice their chests to share the pain of the goddess in their hearts. Her safety touches the hearts of the whole country.

When Richard heard this, he always felt that something was very subtle.

Of course, he was not doubting Queen Mary's character. It may be easy to disguise herself as pure and flawless in public, but in fact, Richard often heard that some witches who have mastered the skills of seduction and the mind will disguise themselves as holy and noble pure women to seduce some uninformed local nobles; But in the palace where spellcasters and guards abounded, such a thing was almost impossible.

Regardless of the position, the power of the royal family and the Holy See will not allow a woman with the skills of a city to deceive the entire people. If it's just personal morality, it's going to be ignored. In the hundreds of years since the founding of the Rhine Kingdom, it is not uncommon for there to be a few debauchery, extravagant and wasteful queens in the royal family.

In this way, Queen Mary may have really had a "crystal pure heart", as Monsieur Cummins put it, which is why she has such a reputation among the people. At the very least, it is impossible for an ordinary woman to gain fame and fame so that he can easily capture the heart of a master knight and make him willing to be driven...... No, the current situation is that this loyal knight risked his life to find a solution to her spell without even knowing it.

What Richard found a little incomprehensible was that it would be nice to say that Queen Mary was an unmarried princess or an archduchess or something, but what was it about a married queen who was so sought after? Could it be that the citizens of the Rhine Kingdom like wives?

He couldn't help but feel the thoughts of His Majesty Luther VII, the current ruler of the Rhine Kingdom, if he got up from bed every morning, the first thing that came to mind was that all the men of the country were thinking about his wife, and he would definitely not be in a good mood, and even felt that the head of His Majesty, who had never been masked, was already covered with a layer of light......

Richard shook his head, this kind of court gossip he didn't want to care about for the time being.

"Lord Raspuchin, I've heard that you easily dispelled a legendary curse during a fireside meeting, and I believe that with your mighty mana, saving our queen is just a matter of effort."

Why is it a "gesture"...... He complained in his heart. I don't know if I'll be able to get rid of that thing a second time.

- "Offer a payment." ”

The majestic voice of the wizard leader echoed through the room.

"Of course, that's right, Lord Rasputchin, and I hope to reward you with something that will satisfy you."

Cold sweat flowed from Cummins' forehead.

"But, with all due respect, I can only look up to the realm of legendary wizards, but I don't know, so I don't know what you need?"

Rasputin replied calmly.

"Didn't you say that the queen was the treasure of the entire Rhine Kingdom? Then exchange the most precious thing in the kingdom with me. ”

……

In fact, Richard had already thought of the answer before he came. This was the "thing" he most wanted from the secular kingdom through Raspuchin's knowledge and discussions with his real name—he had already set his mind on the group of people in the delegation.

Cummins was stunned for a moment.

Middle ...... of the Kingdom of the Rhine The most precious thing?

Queen Mary was of course important to the kingdom, not only because of her noble status, but also because of the royal family's link with the great nobleman Duke of Hofburg, and at the same time, the queen's good name could also play a role in calming public opinion and rallying people's hearts.

But when it comes to "the most precious thing"...... It's just a description, after all. What else is there besides the queen? Could it be His Majesty Luther himself? Of course this is impossible, can he still tie up His Majesty the King and send it to the legendary wizard to exchange the queen's safety?

And...... A disrespectful thought crossed Cummins' mind.

Perhaps, the king is not the most precious person in this kingdom.

Yes, he does have supreme power in the kingdom of cities, but he is not irreplaceable. Even if His Majesty Luther died, his younger brother, the Duke of Orleans, his uncle, the Count of Matz, and even the Archduke Anto, who was far away in the Highland Kingdom, they would all be able to succeed to the throne de jure.

Can a king really be called "the most precious treasure"? If not, then what?

Is it a territory? Is it the people? Knights? Army? Is it the 'Three Holy Covenants' with the other two kingdoms? Can the crowning of kings of each generation, the legitimacy provided by the Holy See?

……

Richard naturally didn't know the confusion in the heart of the elven knight in front of him. After putting on a show for a while, he finally came up with what he really needed.

"What I want is a 'pledge.'"

In the Mayan world, there is the only kind of real name contract that even the gods cannot violate, and whenever it appears in front of people, it often symbolizes the arrival of major changes in history-

"The oath made by the founding king of the Rhine Kingdom, the lion king Lorraine I, and his twelve lionheart knights," the legendary wizard looked down at the man kneeling on the ground, "you haven't heard of it, have you?" ”

When Richard put forward this condition, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the real name lady beside him.

The black-haired girl nodded at him with a fair affirmation.
