137 Elves & Demons

In ten years, Alfeld has grown into a tall teenager. 【Fengyun Reading Network】

The third prince of the empire not only has a beautiful resume that graduated from the Imperial Capital Light Full Science and Technology Higher Certificate, but also participated in the management of the empire's internal and external affairs early, of course, it is impossible to say how much he has achieved, after all, the achievement of this kind of thing is based on talent, and more importantly, it is also based on opportunities.

For example, there is a saying that heroes are born in troubled times, and there is a peaceful and prosperous world everywhere, even if there is a great strategic talent, there is no place to show it. Co-authors can't just go to expand their territory and conquer foreign lands in order to win everyone's praise, or have nothing to do and cultivate a group of traitors to come out and then chop and play, right?! It's no wonder if you're spitted to death by a star.

But even so, Alfeld's existence as the most transcendent status among the royal princes is still eye-catching enough, even if Luther's great military exploits are in front of him, no one at home and abroad dares to look down on the status of this little prince in the empire.

"It is a great honor for His Highness Yafeid to come to visit the Xi tribe in person. Ten years ago, we were just doing a small favor, but if anyone encounters that kind of situation, they will definitely not be left aside, Your Highness really doesn't need to be too polite. The Xi clan patriarch smiled and received Prince Tobiro in his clan area: "As for the customs problem you mentioned, of course there is nothing about this. In the past 10 years, we have been very happy to cooperate, the Xi people have a large population, and the demand for various crops and daily necessities is not small, if your country is interested in expanding its trade exports, of course we welcome it very much. ”

"The patriarch is really polite." Alfeld smiled politely and childishly, and wanted to say something more, but the captain of the guard next to him apologized and picked up the magic mirror to the side to connect the communication, and then cut off the call and turned back after a few hasty words. He bent down and whispered a few words in Arfeld's ear.

Alfeld was stunned and asked in surprise, "Are you sure you got the news?!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness." The chief of the guard finished his report and bowed down.

Alfeld's face was complicated, as if he was emotional, happy, and stunned, and he couldn't speak for a long time. The patriarch of the Xi clan is not an eyeless fool, as soon as he saw this situation, he knew that something must be happening on the other side, it seemed to be quite important, and he got up with a smile: "It seems that His Royal Highness Yafeld still has important things to do, so my old man will not leave you to eat...... When I get back, please say hello to King Tobiro on my behalf. ”

"When, of course!" Alfeld's expression finally froze on the flush of excitement, and he quickly stood up, trying to keep his composure and bowing as he sold: "I am very happy to meet with you. If I have time another day, I hope to have the opportunity to drink tea together again......" As soon as he finished speaking, the prince refused to waste a second, quickly turned around and hurriedly strode out.

When the people left, the Xi clan patriarch smiled, and asked the people around him suspiciously: "What's the matter?!" I think the kid seemed very personable and polite at first. ”

"This ......" the people around him were worried. They hadn't come into contact with this prince before, so how could they possibly know what he was smoking?! ……

Alfeld led a group of guards all the way back to his country's temporary residence, due to the time-honored relationship of the Tobiro Empire. The various ethnic groups and countries encountered on the road still gave some face, and seeing that this junior was in a hurry, he knew that eighty percent was in a hurry, so he smiled slightly and gave way. No one minds the occasional impulsiveness and uncomposure of a small child.

Of course, behind the back, everyone's curiosity and discussion are inevitable. What happened to make the heir brought out by the old King Tobiro look so anxious?! Is it the old King Tobiro who suddenly fell ill?! Assassinated?! Or is there a vicious diplomatic incident?! The woman who abandoned many years ago knocked on the door with a child in her arms?! A fire at home?!

The truth is hidden in the wind. The crowd gave full play to their imagination and agreed that it was necessary to visit Tobiro's office afterwards and watch the lively gossip by the way...... I'm sorry, but it's to learn about the situation and comfort the royal family of Tobiro who may have suffered misfortune.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, but Miss Su talked to His Majesty the King for a few words, and then ...... Now it seems to have left. The chief guard received another communication halfway through, and he was helpless to report after learning the latest information.

"......" Alfeld stopped with a sudden brake, was stunned for three seconds, and then looked at the chief of the guard with a very bad face: "Raeder, are you entertaining me?!" ”

Raeder was aggrieved and helpless. He was really the first to inform his master of the news, who would have thought that the little girl would still be so elusive after ten years, and she would come gently. Gently, she left again, and before she did anything, she teased three people, intentionally or unintentionally...... An old king. A prince of Arfeid, and another is an unlucky self.

"Forget it!" In the end, it was Alfeld who figured it out by himself, sighed and resigned himself to his fate: "Since she has also gone up to the Holy Land Mountain, there will always be a chance to meet...... Raeder, tell me to go down, and if anyone finds a girl with black hair and black eyes, they must report it to me as soon as possible. ”

Since there was a precedent for his own decisive abandonment, Alfeld did not guess what the elves in the Lost Jungle would have to do with Lin Su. In his opinion, even his childhood sweetheart, who has the best relationship with the other party, can be said to be dumped, and a race that is at most a place where the other party once lived is nothing.

So similar to the old king's speculation, Alfeld also thought that there must be other reasons why Lin Su appeared in the Holy Land Mountain. For example, after leaving Tobiro, which country did the other party go to live in, and then for example, which unlucky magnate he saved easily, and then for example...... All in all, the yellow-faced Po Yafeyd, who had been abandoned for ten years, expressed his anger!

"Yes!" Raeder wanted to cry, His Majesty would definitely be angry if he knew about this order, his own son was reluctant to teach a lesson, and the unlucky guy who was finally pulled out to vent his anger was 100% not entertained himself......

At this time, Lin Shu had already returned to his residential area. She had learned from the old King Tobiro that Arfeld was also in the Holy Land, but she had no interest in reuniting with the other party for the time being.

In terms of acquaintances, Lin Shu and many races can be regarded as familiar, even if they have not seen those leaders with their own eyes, but before the revival of the Tree of Life, Lin Shu's name has already been transmitted to the ears of their respective patriarchs through various ethnic expedition teams.

For this mysterious little girl. No one is not interested. Coupled with Lin Su's current status, as long as she is willing, she will definitely be able to get the hospitality of the guests wherever she goes.

Without any psychological burden, he checked the homework he left for the elves before leaving, and by the way, after looking at the assessment results, Lin Shu asked his head of the guard: "Nothing happened during the time I left, right?!" ”

"......" the chief guard hesitated.

"Is there really a situation?!" Lin Su was in high spirits: "Let's talk about it, is it here to rob money or to rob sex?!" ”

The chief guard thought for a moment, and organized the language to try to express it more accurately: "Actually, I'm not very sure, during the time you left, many people have wandered around our office, but these people have no malicious intentions. They didn't try to talk to us, they just looked at us and left...... The only thing that was wrong with anything was their expressions, which seemed to carry some uncertainty and hesitation. ”

Lin Shu pondered for a while and asked, "Are you here to visit the elf clan?!" ”

"Probably." The chief guard said, "But those people seem to recognize us as demons?!" ”

"It's normal, who told you all to cover your faces...... I'll go outside and add a sign in a moment. There is a fee of 50 gold coins per person for entering the tour. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The chief of the guard bowed meticulously: "There is another matter. Not long after you left, someone from the attendants of the Holy Land Mountain came to inform you that the king of the Terran Tobiro Empire wanted to come to your door to greet you...... Because of the relationship where you weren't there at the time. So we have sent a random elf with the attendant to greet and apologize to King Tobiro. ”

"Who's going to?!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's Little Eleven. The chief of the guard seemed to be a little unbearable to hide his face: "Originally, it was supposed to be Xiao Er's turn to be on duty and in charge of diplomacy today, but it seems that Xiao Eleven lost to him yesterday by playing dice, so he will take the diplomatic shift on this day......"

Born elves, whether amnesiac adult elves or newly conceived young elves, have no name or do not remember their former name. Obviously. It was impossible for Lin Shu to spend that effort to name the four-digit elf members one by one, so they were all numbered.

Of course, Lin Su is not the kind of inhumane boss. So after the numbering, another article was added, specifically stating that those who want to change their names can figure it out by themselves, and then ask everyone to change their words. But...... After nearly 100 elves named themselves proudly "Crisp" in a row, and the members included men, women and children, Lin Shu decisively canceled this one.

The eleventh elf is one of the best of all the elves, and is full of great interest and enthusiasm for all knowledge and skills. If it were in a human country, this elf would definitely become a generation of scholars. But under the leadership of Lin Su, the development model of this easy-to-learn and practical spirit of the elves can be imagined.

"......" Lin Su also sighed after listening to the report of the chief of the guard, expressing his silence. Every time it was Elf's turn to be on duty in the Palace of Life, a few furnishings in his room would always disappear inexplicably. Judging by her experience and eyesight, this male elf's stealing skills are completely advanced. And it's only one step away from the master......

Lin Su has never held a political meeting, but after a little understanding and speculation from other channels, you can also know how boring it is. All in all, there is only one central idea, and that is socializing.

Those who have had friction should be entertained. Because misunderstandings can't be exacerbated, those who don't have deep friendships have to socialize. Because it is necessary to win more people to get closer to oneself and bring benefits to one's country or race. For example, if you have a friend who has not been in touch for six or seven or eight years for various subjective and objective reasons, and suddenly something happens before you think that the other party's home seems to have some way, and then you ask to go to the door, things are not easy to do, and others do not think that you are not real.

People who like to socialize enjoy it, like a courtesan, busy shuttling, and the schedule is arranged from morning to night. It's just that the people who came to go through the motions simply brought props to kill time, closed their doors, and made up their minds to only show up in the last three days, eating and drinking.

Lin Su is lonely, she neither wants to be idle, nor does she want to be idly involved like the former. After arriving at the Holy Land Mountain, I realized how boring it is, and the scenery is average, and even the people I meet are not very pleasing to the eye...... This is also normal, I don't believe you can watch TV. Those who can achieve the number one position are usually Xie Ding and beer belly, and there are few exceptions, and the difference is only in the degree of severity......

One day of idleness, just when Lin Shu was eating breakfast, and by the way, he was seriously considering whether to take the elves down the mountain again, Xiao Eleven, who had visited King Tobiro yesterday, came back to report to work.

Elf Eleven stood in front of Lin Su, with a gloomy face and a very lost look. The latter was surprised at first sight: "Why, the goods in the Tobiro Imperial Office are not fancied?!" ”

It shouldn't be, although the elves have a very high vision. It's almost hard to look at. But she thinks that this little eleven stealing things should be more for a sense of achievement, and by the way, it is also to verify her skill proficiency, no matter what she succeeds, the other party should not have this expression.

Elf Eleven shook his head and said, "No! It's me who has met a terrible opponent! ”

"Huh?!"

"I've heard it long ago that the royal family of the Tobiro Empire has elven blood. Originally, I didn't believe it, thinking it was a gimmick released by the human royal family, but ......" Elf Eleven thought about it seriously. After sighing deeply, he said: "Anyway, I was careless, I didn't expect that the third prince of Tobiro also has superb theft skills, and it really deserves to be the blood of the elf king!" ”

"......" Lin Shu put down the small bread in his hand, turned his head and spat blood silently. A strange emotion that I can't tell whether it's shame or pride emerges...... This. In fact, whether or not you steal things really doesn't have much to do with the elf bloodline......

The elves who were eating with Lin Su on the main table were shocked and interjected:

"Eleven. What you say is true?! ”

"The Human Empire actually has the blood of the Elf King?! It's incredible. ”

"But doesn't Eleven mean that the prince also understands the unique expertise of our elves?! I think it should be true. ”

"Hey, our clan's unique specialty isn't archery?! ……”

"Twenty-three! Who are you listening to such irresponsible words?! ”

"When I went to buy food from the waiter in the Holy Land Mountain yesterday, I heard that little girl seemed to admire our archery skills......

"Although our archery skills are indeed good, this is only the inevitable effect of eyesight and agility...... Speaking of stealing, it's these two ...... that are trained in stealing."

"So that little girl's point of view is false, right?!"

"Alas...... It must be that the elves have not appeared for a thousand years, and the people on the continent have almost forgotten about us. ”

"It's a sad ......"

"There is still a long way to go for the rejuvenation of our race...... It's okay, let's try to reverse everyone's misconceptions and recreate the glorious elves of a thousand years ago! ”

"On the top floor!"

β€œup……”

Lin Shu blushed and hurriedly coughed a few times to cut off the crooked building, knocked on the table and motioned to No. 11 to continue reporting: "You said you met Prince Yafed yesterday?!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Eleven gritted his teeth: "A half-elven human race can be so proficient in performing theft, I know that this must be my practice and effort is not enough." Rest assured, I won't lose the face of a pure-blood elf again! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Very good! "That's so motivating...... Lin Shu didn't know what to say.

After the breakfast meeting. The elves were stimulated by the news brought back by the eleventh, and they automatically went down to practice their skills without supervision, due to the presence of Alfeyd. The elves felt a great threat.

It's a shame to be surpassed in what you do, except for theft. Stealth, boning, knife fan, stuffy stick, dragon snake...... None of these skill elves dared to pull down.

As for bow and arrow practice?! Let's put it aside, anyway, they can practice this weapon casually, and the bow and arrow will be more convenient and concealed when fighting in the jungle, and the dagger is the true glory of their elves......

Lin Shu was ashamed for three seconds and returned to normal, and after a morning of doing nothing, the first official guest finally arrived when it was almost lunchtime. The elven chief guard came in to report that the demon general Alpha had taken a short leave to visit an old friend.

"I heard someone say yesterday that it seems that our demon clan helped your elf clan carry a black cauldron?!" As soon as Alpha entered the door, he smiled and said such an opening sentence very happily.

"What did we say, we didn't do anything." Lin Shu waved his hand and asked the elf maid beside him to go down and get some refreshments to greet the guests, and he got up and led Alpha to sit down on a more comfortable sofa before asking, "The Demon King is actually willing to give you a holiday?!" In the end, I will make it clear in advance that I will be sure how to make a bid...... Don't tell me you're just here for tea and chatting! You've known each other for so long. It's too boring to talk about this detour. ”

Alpha smiled bitterly: "I'm really here to drink tea and chat." "A person's credibility is too bad and troublesome, anyway, as soon as he shows up, regardless of whether he is a friend or an enemy, his first reaction must be to suspect that he has other plans.

Of course, there is also a factor in his personality, many times Alpha doesn't actually want to fight any bad ideas, but in the middle of talking, there will always be a flash of inspiration to think of something, and then small talk will turn into conspiracy or negotiation, and then the nature of the conversation will change taste...... After a long time, everyone thinks that he is a person who likes to go around in circles, and he specifically asks for bad things when people are talking about the rise and opening their hearts.

In fact, this is really wronged. Some badass ...... It's born!

Lin Su scoffed at Alpha's grievances: "Okay." Just when you're here to chat, what are you going to talk about?! ”

"It's nothing." The maid stepped back after bringing the tea, helped the two of them close the door of the room, Alpha took a sip of the teacup, and only exhaled a sigh of satisfaction after a long time: "The diet of the elves is still as exquisite as ever. Even if their memories are blank, there are always qualities that cannot be erased from the bone marrow......"

Lin Shu smiled: "You are literary, can you directly say the point?!" ”

Alpha put down the teacup. It didn't matter if he relaxed his body and leaned back on the sofa: "Yesterday your elves were practicing theft?!" Originally, some visitors wanted to come and see the legendary elves, but after watching the elves' practice for a while, they found that they seemed to have found the wrong person, and they were sure that it should be our demon clan who lived here......"

"It's rude to peep at other races' skill practices without permission!" Lin Su expressed dissatisfaction.

This is not a public exhibition match, but a time when it comes to ancient times on Earth. The so-called concept of mentorship is a very serious issue, and stealing martial arts is a serious sin. If you are abolished, you will not be able to cry out for injustice.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ No, I don't think that's the point. The corners of Alpha's mouth twitched: "Originally, I also thought about what you would make the elves develop into if you became the queen?!" Did the elves change you, or did you change the elves?! …… I've been curious about this question for a long time, and now I finally have a definite answer. ”

"Very impressed?!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I can't say that I was moved, and my mood is a little complicated. "Even if Alpha is a villain in the eyes of others, he is still a normal person who lives with common sense.

For example, a vegetarian may want to see everyone around him switch to a vegetarian diet, but if he sees a tiger nibbling on cabbage and carrots, the most likely reaction is not to be happy but to collapse.

So although Alpha admired Lin Su's character, when he saw that the legendary beautiful and pure elves had all mutated into the character he admired. The first thing he felt was horror and confusion.

How to put it, feeling both relieved and inexplicably depressed, this is the exact mood of Alpha right now.

Lin Shu smiled and patted Alpha on the shoulder: "It's okay." It may be a little uncomfortable at first, but it is good to get used to it. ”

"......" Alpha wiped the cold sweat: "Forget it." Don't talk about that. Have you seen Yfyd?! ”

"Not yet, why do I have to see him?!" Yesterday it was the old king, today it is the alpha, does everyone see Yfyd as her gift or possession?!

Lin Su felt a little inexplicable, although the child who lived together was indeed special to her, but it was not so special that she had to be with him all the time, right?! What the hell do these people think!

"Alphayd has always missed you!" Alpha shook his head with a smile: "Yesterday he also went to visit us and the Xi Clan, although it is said that there are diplomatic matters to discuss about the empire and foreign races, but I still want to inquire about your whereabouts." ”

The former captain of the Xi clan didn't come this time, but as a demon general, Alpha's status in the demon clan is still very transcendent, so he is naturally qualified to follow the demon king to the Holy Land Mountain to participate in the gathering of all clans.

Alphayd had been talking to him for almost an hour the day before, half an hour longer than he had spent talking with the Demon King. Looking at the present and recalling the past, the central theme can be summed up as only one - he misses Lin Su!

Especially that night, it seemed that Lin Shu had shown a relationship in the Tobiro Empire, and Alfeid, who was full of good expectations, wandered around the Terran delegations, and after searching for no result, he resolutely ran back to the demon clan and killed a horse pistol, but unfortunately he was disappointed in the end.

Tut-tut! The lost little appearance of the other party at that time...... Alpha couldn't help but want to feel sad for Alfeld, it seemed that it was just a passionate unrequited love, and the little girl was now living a nourishing life, not only became an elf queen, but also never thought of going back to meet the original little heel or something.

Lin Su was also helpless after hearing Alpha's words: "Little child, it's just that he was unwilling because I left too suddenly." But then again, do you really think it's okay to meet him in my current capacity?! Old King Tobiro wouldn't have had a heart attack or something?! ”

Alpha thought about it seriously, and finally admitted that Lin Su's current identity was indeed too exciting for the old King Tobiro. That's why he had already emphasized that he was really a good person, and if the old King Tobiro was willing to follow his advice and change to other gods earlier, he would not be afraid of this blow now......

"For the sake of the old man's body, you better not come forward yet." Alpha also sighed: "Plus, it's an agreement!" ”

"Huh?!" Dead male demon, you still say that you are not here to take advantage?! Lin Shu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Alpha, knowing that the purpose of this person's coming was not simple, what kind of purity did he pretend to be in front of her......

"Don't look at me like that, I just showed you first, I didn't say that you must agree now." Alpha shrugged: "This is just an agreement that my king asked me to draw up, and the terms have not been finalized yet...... Since you are now the queen of the elves, even if the honorary status of the Dark Count can still be retained, it is a bit unrealistic for you to come back to be a magic instructor for the demons...... What my king means is to change the original terms of cooperation to a peace treaty between the two tribes, and everyone will make progress with each other! ”

Lin Shu thought for a while: "I personally don't care, but ...... The elves and demons are friendly and peaceful?! Do you think this news is a little too exciting?! ”

Everyone who comes to participate in the meeting of the races will be crazy, from ancient times down for thousands of years, I have never heard of the relationship between the elves and the demons, this cold image is greatly subverted, and it is difficult for individuals to accept it.

In fact, Alpha personally thinks that it is quite stressful to have a relationship with the pure, beautiful and peaceful elves. But...... The so-called vicissitudes of life are not what they used to be.

The times are advancing, and the race is also advancing...... Alpha worked hard to cheer himself up.

"It's okay, when everyone sees you, the elven queen, they will definitely not find it difficult to accept."

...... "Is this praising her or hurting her?!" (To be continued)
