Volume II: The Messengers of the Two Tribes, Chapter 42: Departure
Saint-Du-d-Landier, Royal Palace.
This is a Western-style palace, and the people of Blenis seem to prefer to devote all their energy to the throne that symbolizes royal power, and it is a place that is more suitable for divine decoration than the noble.
Such a poor word seems to be not enough to describe the one-ten-thousandth of the throne, because even the most marginal gem on the seat is enough to cause countless nobles to compete for a treasure in the human world, no, if it is the huge magic crystal in the center of the throne, then maybe all the strong people on the continent will not be able to hold it!
Of course, the premise is that the current owner of this throne, the king who is the supreme ruler of the elven race, has given up defending this throne - this is obviously impossible, and the current Emilia may be the elf who cares about this throne the most on the continent.
But today, Emilia seems to have lost her enthusiasm for the throne under her, she frowned, looked at the man under the throne, and her expression could not hide her irritability and doubt.
"You say, you want me to release Guy?, are you sure that there is nothing wrong with what you say now?" Impatiently pressed the armrest on the side of the table, Emilia finally couldn't help but ask.
The man below seemed to remain silent after saying that.
"Yes, as I said before, it is obviously more useful for us to spare this man's life than to kill him. Emilia's tone revealed her attitude, but Yi Fan obviously didn't change the meaning of her words.
After all, the reason why he came to meet Emilia in this most official place in the palace before leaving the elven holy capital was simply to save Guy's life, after all, after listening to what the man told him, he also felt the need to make some preparations.
"Just for such a reason, please sorry I can't agree!"
Even if you are an oracle, it is the same, such words Emilia did not speak, but she knew that with the IQ that Yi Fan had shown before, he should have this level of comprehension. Even an oracle should submit to the king's bearing and serve the king, which is the most natural thing for Emilia to do.
"Well, I'm really sorry, because I thought that His Royal Highness the Elf King would definitely agree to my request, so I already asked my companion to take Guy away first!" Sighing softly, Yi Fan didn't seem willing to say such a thing, even though things were expected.
"What, you guy, don't think you're an angel......" Emilia's uncontrollable irritability finally turned into anger, she stood up and looked at Yi Fan condescendingly, and roared as a king.
"So!" Yi Fan also raised his voice all of a sudden, and after interrupting Emilia's words, he continued softly: "Does Your Highness plan to punish me?" Or do you really care so much about the life of a defeated general?"
The reason why Emilia was obsessed with Guy's life, if it was just out of the attitude of dealing with the enemy at the beginning, then when Yi Fan made a request later, it had obviously become a conflict between the identities of the king and the divine envoy, so when she heard Yi Fan's rhetorical question, Emilia was also silent and speechless.
"I'll put him to use, I promise, living Guy will be more useful. Emilia's silence was not an opportunity for Yi Fan to take advantage of the victory, on the contrary, Yi Fan knew that it was time to lower his posture, even though the other party was still taking advantage of him.
"Really, you human ......" Emilia's tone was quite helpless, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was admitting Yi Fan's words in disguise.
"Then here, thank you Your Highness for Guy who was lucky enough to save his life, and in the future, I will also express my gratitude to you with practical actions!" Bending down respectfully, Yi Fan began to slowly retreat outside after seeing Emilia's gesture, and only turned around when he was about to reach the door.
The corners of his mouth, the moment he turned to leave, couldn't help but show a smile after all-he not only tested his value in Emilia's heart at this stage, but also knew the latter's bottom line at the moment.
"As for human beings, it's just a human being, and it's been repeated again and again, making me so out of shape. Looking at Yi Fan's departing back, Emilia couldn't help muttering to herself.
Leaning on the throne with a slight squint. Emilia's mood became a little complicated.
- The reason why he agreed to Yi Fan's request must be because the latter is still very effective now, but Emilia herself knows that the reason cannot be so simple. Even Yi Fan couldn't guess the reason, and for Emilia, it seemed that there was still a little vague feeling.
After a few moments, Emilia seemed to come back to her senses, and a fleeting flush appeared on her face, but it was quickly replaced by a serious look.
Turning her head slightly, she looked into the empty darkness behind her, and after confirming that the familiar aura was still there, Emilia asked, "Gold, what do you think of that oracle's words?"
"He must be lying, Your Highness. โ
A calm female voice rang out from the darkness, and there was no trace of emotion in her tone, as if she was just talking about a stone on the side of the road.
"Sure enough, it seems that the oracle already knows something...... The moment she heard the voice, Emilia's guess seemed to have been confirmed.
"Do you need to kill him now?" Even though the opponent was an opponent of God's ability, the voice didn't sound like any fluctuation, and compared to the previous sentence, it obviously seemed that this time it was just asking if he was picking up a small pebble on the side of the road.
Whether it was about the future plans of the continent or about taking a person's life, in the eyes of the woman named Gold, it seemed that there was no difference, as the strongest existence of the Guardian Sacred Tree among the Four Pillar Knights, it seemed that everything else was just the same substance.
"Forget it, after all, there is still a long time before the real plan is implemented!" Speaking of this, Emilia seemed to remember something, and her tone became a little lost, "That human princess, because of the attack, seems to be planning to leave today! It seems that this year's moonlit night festival will be much colder than imagined......"
After all, those who really have the heart to spend their time on entertainment may have smelled that abnormal smell by now! As for ordinary elves, in this continent that is about to fall into chaos, can they foresee their own sinister future?
......
Santo di Landier, the lowest square.
This is the first place that everyone who enters the Holy Capital must pass through, because in principle, unidentified people are not allowed in the Holy City.
The blonde girl stood in the square with a solemn face, and in addition to a decadent elf old man beside her, there were two human girls who didn't look much better.
The elves who came and went more or less noticed this strange formation, after all, the situation of humans and elves staying together was not very common even in this holy capital, especially when the three human girls all had the appearance of no less than the elves.
But every elf who passed by just passed by in confusion, and didn't seem to have the meaning of stepping forward to talk, and the weak ones had already left even far away, and they could feel the powerful power that was faintly revealing on the girl's body at the moment.
Although a few elves had already recognized that the elven old man was the captive that the elven king had brought back from the northern trident tribe not long ago, before they recognized the old man, they had obviously already seen that the blonde girl in front of the old man was the same person who had entered the city with the oracle not long agoโthis was obviously beyond the scope of their intervention.
"Artoria, I've taken out all the Hippogriffs, and although there was one more person in the team, I think two of them would have no problem riding a Hippogriff. Dior, who went to the beast pen, also happened to come back at this time, looking at the expression on Saber's face, he hesitated a little before continuing to speak: "You should know Yi Fan's strength best, there must be no problem." โ
Speaking of this, Dior couldn't help but turn his head sideways and look at Guy next to him, to be honest, he still didn't understand why Yi Fan insisted on taking this old man who should have been executed with him when he left, even if such an approach was likely to anger the Elf King.
"Well, I know, I'm not worried. Saying something wrong, the expression on the girl's face betrayed everything.
"Well, I still have some things to deal with in the royal capital. After hesitating for a moment, Dior couldn't help but say, "So, I shouldn't have left with you!"
As a knight of the Holy See, Dior naturally has his own mission when he comes to the Holy Capital, but it may be that he thinks that Lake also wants to stay in the Holy Capital because of his identity, so he feels a little embarrassed when he says this - four people came together, but when he left, there were only two people left.
Just as Dior was about to turn away, a light suddenly flashed in the portal not far away, and then a familiar figure appeared in front of them.
"Really, it looks like we need to say goodbye again!" Dior scratched his head helplessly as Saber said with a happy expression on his face, facing the figure who was walking this way.
......
Dressed in the special magic armor only available to the Elven King's guards, Lake stood in a place that ordinary people could not see, watching from a distance the figures in the square that were gradually converging together.
"Why, aren't you going to send them off?" it sounded like a male voice, but if you looked closely, you would see that standing next to Lake was an elven woman with an obvious beautiful appearance.
"No, after all, it's not a relationship that's familiar to that extent. โ
Lake shook his head, and despite the mixed feelings in his eyes, the person didn't seem to want to admit it.
"Really, you guy, you're still so unruly!" The interrogating elf leaned his hands on the railing in front of him, and there seemed to be something complicated in his eyes looking at the sky.
After a while, the elf seemed to think of something, and after a moment's hesitation, he continued to ask, "Your true identity, and when are you going to tell them?"
"......" Elf's question seemed a little difficult to answer, and Ryker's expression changed slightly as he looked into the distance, "Besides, after all, Ryker's identity is sometimes quite fond of it......"
