Chapter 196: The Elven King's Calculations
"The one you despise, our sixth prince, Heroo Wharton, is a magic saint, and the magic he masters is not a single attribute, as far as I can see, there are four kinds of earth, fire, water and space, and I have reason to believe that he also has magic of other attributes!" Afra said coldly.
As he spoke, Afra's contemptuous gaze once again swept like a sharp blade over the ministers whose expressions were becoming more and more panicked, and finally, Afra's gaze stayed on the somewhat decadent elven king.
"I'm leaving!" Afra saluted the Elven King indifferently, and then, with a sharp turn, left with a dead heart.
She plans to go back to Hill City, but this time her goal is no longer to spy on Wang Xu, she has some expectations for Wang Xu, and wants to see if Wang Xu can lead the rise of Hill City's forces as she expects.
This time, the elf king did not say anything to keep Afra, because his mind was no longer on Afra, at this moment, he was thinking about his sixth son - Wang Xu, Wang Xu's image when he was a child, constantly appeared in the mind of the elf king.
At the same time, the expressions of the ministers became more and more ugly, none of them had laughed at Wang Xu as a waste when he was a child, at this moment, they actually heard that Wang Xu was a multi-line law saint, and his strength was far above them, and even, Wang Xu alone was stronger than their entire family, this kind of illusory, earth-shattering reality made them completely overwhelmed.
"You...... Is there any other information to report?" the Elf King raised his eyes to look at the spies who were standing there, and asked in a deep voice.
"No, King, oh, by the way, the Six Princes have built four mage towers!" the spy reported the latest news to the Elven King, who looked even more ugly when he heard the news.
"Okay, go back, you've done well, I'll reward you, and keep an eye on Hill City, and report to me no matter what's going on there!" The Elf King waved weakly and dismissed the spies who had no sight.
After the spies left, the Elven King glanced at the sycophant Yaheng Baker and asked him in a deep voice, "Do you think that Dio will betray me and betray the elves like Downs?"
"No, king," Ahyan Baker said obediently when he heard the elven king ask him, "If the sixth prince was going to betray you, he would have betrayed you a long time ago, so why wait until today?"
Yaheng Baker himself didn't believe what he just said, in order to make the elf king feel at ease, he dared to say anything, in fact, Yaheng knew very well in his heart that the elf king had not paid attention to Wang Xu for twenty years, and had not given Hill City any protection, to say that Wang Xu still had feelings for the elf race, it was simply a fantasy, it was simply impossible.
"Well," the Elven King decided, "send an envoy to Hill City, tell Valio that I want to restore his status as prince, and, then, tell him that I need him, that I need him against the Dons!"
"King, although I don't believe that the sixth prince will betray you, but in case he ......" Yaheng Baker did not want Wang Xu to come back, because the military power was in the hands of his family, and if Wang Xu came back, then the power in the hands of his family would inevitably be weakened, which he could not tolerate.
"Didn't you hear what Afra just said, our enemies, there are snowy orcs in the north, Naga Sea in the west, trolls in the east, and demons in the south, how long do you think our country can last if our enemies are combined with the Angel Clan and the forces of the underworld?"
Despite this, the elf king did not regret the exile of his sons, he knew very well that in order to maintain the royal power in his hands, this matter must be done, and even, the purpose of his recall of Wang Xu was also to make Wang Xu and Downs Wharton kill each other, and then, at the same time, weaken the strength in the hands of the two of them, no matter who wins or loses, it will be good for himself.
Obviously, the sycophant Yaheng Baker did not understand the Elf King's intentions, and he thought that the Elf King really intended to support Wang Xu.
So, he suggested: "King, since you want to recruit the sixth prince back, then, the envoys sent must be of sufficient weight, otherwise, you will not be able to show your majesty, I suggest, let me go, I will definitely be able to complete your mission!"
Yaheng Baker's calculation is that since the king is only ready to recall Wang Xu alone, then, the next elf king may be Wang Xu, so if he goes to Hill City now and leaves a good impression on Wang Xu, he can pave the way for the future of his family.
"Okay, just you go!" The Elf King also felt that Yaheng was suitable, after all, he was the first important minister under him, and sending him was simply enough to give Wang Xu face, "Bring the prince's clothes and accessories with you, and set off now!"
"Yes, King!" Yaheng secretly rejoiced, got up and saluted the Elven King, and then walked quickly out of the hall.
Looking at Yaheng's departing figure, the Elf King sighed softly: "Annie, our child has grown up, I hope he loves me like you......"
Anne is Wang Xu's mother in the Loren world, the mysterious aristocratic woman of the Western Continent, who died in childbirth when she gave birth to Wang Xu fifty years ago......
While the Elven King was calculating Wang Xu, Wang Xu and Nilou were still heading northeast along the mountain road.
At this moment, the sun was about to set, and in the sky, the colorful clouds were like dragon scales, one by one embedded in the purple-red sunset, and the bats in the mountains all rose into the sky to forage for food, and Wang Xu and Nilou were not far from the Minotaur tribe.
Suddenly, Nilou tugged on Wang Xu's sleeve, and when Wang Xu stopped, Nilou said crisply, "The plants around me tell me that they are in pain!"
"Ah," Wang Xu looked at her in surprise after listening to Nilou's inexplicable words, if he hadn't known that Nilou was a botanical god, Wang Xu really thought she was a psychopath, "What do you mean?"
"I mean, someone's burning the forest!" Nilou frowned, pursed her lips and growled.
"I know!" Wang Xu replied softly.
"How do you know?" this time it was Nilou's turn to be surprised, she knew very well that Wang Xu did not have the ability to communicate with plants.
"I smell the smell of fireworks in the air, don't believe it, you smell it!" Wang Xu replied to Nilou's doubts.
Listening to Wang Xu's words, Nilou took a deep breath and really smelled a faint smell of fireworks.
"When did you smell this?" asked Nilou crisply.
"An hour ago!" replied Wang Xu.
"Let's see?" Nilou seemed to be asking for Wang Xu's opinion, but in fact, she had already made a decision for Wang Xu.
"Do you know where the fire started?" Wang Xu didn't have any curiosity.
"Plants will tell me......" Nilou looked up in one direction.
Following the direction that Nilou's gaze was pointing, Wang Xu was surprised to find that it was exactly the direction where the Minotaur tribe was located...... (To be continued.) )
