Barney sneaks out of the manor with two rangers, a sum of money for the event, and a lot of responsibilities to return to the land of the bay where he was born.

Two days later, news of the attack on the Garanord envoy began to circulate in the market, but the content was different.

It has been said that a certain dwarven councillor in Black Gold Bay, who had taken advantage of the Tower of the Stars and wanted to attack the druid's natural beliefs, put the visitors in danger, and the leader of the legation was mortally wounded and dying—this version was intended to give Tia a the handle.

It has been said that a certain dwarven councillor in the Black Gold Bay, who received the benefits of the Hoshimi Tower, attacked the natural beliefs of the druids, and led the leader to be seriously injured and dying, and the Hoshimi Tower would provide him with a clear prophecy about the direction of the commodity price in the next few years, so as to become the richest councillor - this version was intended to make the other dwarves slap the table.

It is said that a certain dwarven councillor in the Black Gold Bay coveted the beautiful and unplayable Tiya Druid, and deceived the Federation into doing wrong, but the druid turned his lower body into a bean sprout, and the dwarf became angry...... This version is a bit mentally retarded, but it is full of people's favorite magical colors, ** secrets, and conversations that can despise rich people, but it spreads the most fiercely.

When Barney returned exhausted, he saw a sweaty Congressman Banyard pleading, his expression and tone of voice made him feel sour from his soul.

"What the hell are you doing out there? That dwarf has been asking to see Candace since yesterday, and he really has no reserve or self-esteem at all. "Narah has changed his opinion of the half-elves since the assassination, at least he is no longer cynical.

"Hey, what did Priest Candace say?" Barney laughed.

"She said I'll deal with it when you come back. ”

It felt good to be trusted, and Barney was in good spirits, "What about the assassins, did you find anything out of the torture?"

"No!" the elven girl frowned, "ignorant and stubborn humans. ”

Barney didn't expect to convince her that humanity was nothing but ignorance and stubbornness. There is also loyalty and integrity. Go straight up to meet Candace.

"You're doing a great job. Candace bowed.

Barney was a little uneasy, "The time is too short, many channels are rusty, and in order to make the news ferment as much as possible, the content is detrimental to the majesty ......"

The first druid was silent for a moment. "Well done, what do you think next. ”

"That depends on our purpose. ”

"It's simple, find a foothold and at the same time try to get to know the Hoshimi Tower. ”

"Then we need Assassins. ”

"Follow me. ”

Seeing the assassin again, Barney shuddered. It wasn't chains that bound his hands and feet, but vines that sprouted from flesh and blood. The black-and-blue roots are like earthworms covering the limbs, and the branches hang from the walls.

"Even if he wasted his hands and feet, he tried to escape from the shadow twice, and there would be gaps in the lighting no matter how thorough it was, so it was the only way. The physical pain meant nothing to him, and there was nothing I could do about it. Candace confronted the captive, "One last chance, don't let me repeat." ”

A hoarse sneer was the only response.

The druid sighed. "Razor City, right. ”

Barney was surprised, this was a reasonable and unexpected answer, but where did the evil trickery of that city come from?

The assassin looked up suddenly. For the first time, Barney saw the face under the white mask, simple and resolute, and he couldn't imagine that he would be a despicable assassin just by looking at his face. The captive's eyes glowed feverishly, giggling. Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth - he bit off his tongue.

Leaving the cell, the half-elf still has some reminiscences, if in the past. He definitely couldn't understand what supported a person to be so tenacious and determined. But it was only after putting on the druid's apprenticeship that he understood the power of faith, and the faith of his enemies was even more cruel and hard.

"He's a bargaining chip, he can hand it over, we can't ask the dwarves and we can't ask anything. ”

"Yes. ”

Barney interviews Banyard again, and the treatment is very different, as he expected, the old dwarf shows maturity, or brazenness. With a warm face, he took the hand of the half-elf and greeted him, expressing his concern for the envoys, as if the humiliation of a few days ago did not exist.

"Young man, there have been some sensational rumours lately that I don't know what is the condition of Ms. Candace. ”

"The monk was wounded under your protection, and Garlanor expressed great indignation. Barney plays with the unfamiliar international officialdom and looks down on the hypocritical dwarves.

"Those hateful thieves, bandits!" said the dwarf, even more indignant, waving his fist. "Well, what about the lady's injuries. ”

Barney lowered his eyes, "It's up to Master Banyard to provide support." ”

"What kind of 'support' is needed? ”

"So far, there has been no official statement from the Gulf, because we belong to the 'envoy group' of your private invitation, and this unofficial status needs to be corrected. We are the foreign envoys sent by the great Garanord, and the Gulf needs to have an invitation that meets the specifications. ”

"yes! It's too unusual, it should have been so. Banyard was indignant, as if it had nothing to do with him.

"Second, we need a site to choose from. ”

"No problem!"

"This station belongs to the land of Garanoud. ”

Banyard shook his flesh, tugged at the gold ring on his beard and said, "There is no precedent for this. ”

"The precedent was set by a prescient man, sir. ”

“...... Well, I'll try to fight for it. ”

Barney's heart was overjoyed, and the most troublesome conditions were clear, and it was logical to follow them.

"Finally, we'd like you to talk about the Hoshimi Tower. ”

The dwarf was still smirking, "I'm afraid we don't have much to talk about." ”

The half-elf was stunned, "Are you sure?"

"I'm pretty sure. ”

"The assassin is alive, you can use him to keep the council's mouth shut as long as you reveal some ......"

Banyard interrupted, "The assassin will be handed over to me, and the station will be to your satisfaction, and the rest will not be discussed." The dwarf's tone and expression were like those of a boulder.

The talks are over, and Brother Candace is about to "recover from his injury" and will continue his journey while waiting for the invitation to be issued. Barney was not happy at all, but full of doubts, he did not understand that dwarves can drop their faces and smile, but they stood their ground and did not relax. This kind of unaccommodating refusal is not in line with the behavior of businessmen, is the pressure not strong enough? No, if it is bigger, it will tear the face.

He scratched at his head, so much so that Tia's slap on the face took a few moments before he came to his senses.

"What are you doing?" he asked, covering his face in exasperation.

"What did you do! What is all that dirty news!" Narah asked sharply.

"It's just an ordinary means of public opinion, and there is ...... between countries"

"Stupid half-human, Tia's reputation and dignity cannot be tarnished!" the elf girl threw a letter in his face and left in a rage.

Barney was simply inexplicable, and when he read it, he realized how strict the situation was.

The letter was written by Nalah's classmates in the green capital, and it turned out that some ** scandals compiled by Barney were transmitted back to the forest, causing an uproar. Several ministers demanded the recall of the legations, the trial of Barney, and even a war with the Black Gold Bay for the sake of dignity!

The half-elf was stupid, his mind was confused, and he continued to look down. The queen personally suppressed the war and explained that she had approved the plan, and sent a message to Candace asking her to pay attention to Tia's image.

I walked around on the verge of disrepute, but I still didn't understand what was going on. From complacent to depressed, it only takes a few hours. He shuffled outside the Candace door, trying to knock several times without raising his hand until he was called in.

He was ashamed that Candace and even the Queen had taken responsibility for his actions, and even more strongly doubted, "Things started the way I thought they were, but they didn't go the way I thought they would." What the hell is going wrong, this set is invincible, I have never been like this in the bay. ”

The first druid had a quiet expression, "Because of race." ”

"Race?" Barney almost thought Candace was despising his half-blood, but it was impossible to think about it.

"Cheetahs do not understand the weakness of elk, elk find it difficult to understand the cruelty of cheetahs, and each race has a different nature of thinking. It is in itself wrong for you to use the thinking of human interests to measure the behavior patterns of dwarves and elves, and I am responsible for that. ”

"I ...... Still don't understand. ”

"Banyard is a businessman, and his profit-seeking personality makes half of your request successful, and the other half fails because of the stubbornness of the dwarf, and he refuses to reveal the information of the Star Tower, so he will never change, just like the mountain rock, he is stubborn for the sake of stubbornness. And Tia ...... is proud, even if he was bullied and oppressed to the brink of extinction, he will not put down his pride and pretend to be the same as human beings, playing with honor and dignity. ”

"The stubbornness of the dwarves, the pride of the elves......" Barney lost his soul, it turned out that he was so naïve. "I—I can't understand this pride, I can't be Tia ......"

"Then be yourself. Tia's arms are not vast, but Garlanor will definitely have your place. ”

"You...... Did you know it would happen?"

"I expected it partly, but I insisted to the queen that we don't have time to slowly develop talents, and the reality is the best and most cruel teacher. I can't stay forever, this land needs a mature, experienced monk who can trust to be in charge. That's a quiz. In general, the general direction of events has not deviated, and it is already better than I thought. ”

"So, what's the worst you think?"

"A team of Secret Arrow Druids lurking a hundred saris away, enough to crush any pursuers and take us back to the forest, and now they are on their way back. ”

Barney swallowed bitter saliva, trust so heavy. "This is the last time I fail, I swear. (To be continued......)
