Chapter 15. Choice

"Elves? Among the elders, only the eight elders are mutant elves, apprentice, could it be that you have any special hobbies for elves? ”

Liya looked at Ye Xiao with a strange expression.

Of course, she knew what Ye Xiao meant by asking her if there were any elves among the elders, but if she answered too normally, Ye Xiao would inevitably see suspicions.

[This dog Lori's little head is thinking about some messy things all day long? 】

Leah: (╬ ̄ ̄) Convex

"No, no, Master, you misunderstood, it's just a friend from the past, after learning that I was in the Mystic Valley, he said that there was an elf elder in the Mystic Valley who knew her, and if she needed it, she could ask her to take care of me."

still takes care of you, you take care of her, it's almost the same, right? That friend of yours, I don't mean Catherine, right?

Leah nodded symbolically.

"That friend of yours, the face is quite big, Brent Thea, but the most qualified of the ten elders, it is said that when the previous great elder was still there, Brent Thea was already an elder in the Mystic Valley, but the elven clan yearns for freedom and does not like restraint, so they rarely cultivate, and the big and small things in the Mystic Valley are rarely entrusted to her, of course, unless she is willing to do it herself, so I said, that friend of yours still has a big face, and he can actually ask Brent Thea to take care of you."

Liya said quietly as she took a sip of black tea.

Of course she knew that person had a big face, as the elven queen, the strongest person on the continent, and Brent Thea's biological mother, could Catherine's face not be big?

Ye Xiao smiled wryly.

"A friend who has lived for a long time, and he has some connections in the early years."

Speaking of this, Ye Xiao's eyes dimmed a little.

[I'm sorry Catherine, although you said that all this is our own choice, but your biological mother Arya died because of me, you still have a grudge against me in your heart, right? Forgive me for not being able to see you once in 10,000 years, because I don't know what kind of expression to face you, because of an existence that you have so long for, killed your mother. 】

Listening to Ye Xiao's heart, Liya recalled the elf woman in the dream, and after careful comparison, she did have some resemblance to Brent Thea.

As the existence of the top of the continent, many strong people fell in that battle, presumably it was Alya's death that made Ye Xiao feel guilty about Catherine......

"The secret law city she went with me, maybe she is still resting at this time, why don't I take you to see her at night?"

Leah asked.

"No need, an elder of the family, what do I put on it, I just heard from a friend that I knew her, so I thought about it. ”

I know, I know, didn't her mother tell you to take care of her?

"Hmph, you don't post it when you're old, and I don't see you post me less."

╭(╯^╰)╮

Leah pouted.

Ye Xiao looked at Liya and blinked a few times.

"You're different, you're my master, I don't post you."

Liya glanced at Ye Xiao.

"Say, sneak into the teacher's bedroom while the teacher is away, what are your intentions?"

"This ......"

Ye Xiao scratched his head.

[It can't be said that after seeing Zashikaya and Catherine, I remembered some things from the past and went to you to seek some comfort, right? 】

Leah's goofy hair picked.

"This is done in advance, what about the basic magic exercise book that the master gave you last time? Is it finished? ”

[Wow! What kind of fault is Dog Lori looking for today? Isn't it a menstrual period? There's no need to mess with me like this, right? 】

"This ......"

How is it possible to finish writing? It is impossible to finish writing, and it is impossible to finish writing in this life.

"That...... Master, although I haven't finished the workbook, I can still know the basic magic? ”

Leah: (╬ ̄ ̄) Convex

It's so angry!

Did I ask you to write a workbook so that you could practice basic magic?

How can you not even know basic magic?

In your dreams, you wave your hand and you're a demigod, okay?

I'm just giving you the workbook to see how hard you look when you have to do it.

How can you be such a scoundrel as a result!!???

I feel more and more that you have no teacher!!

......

The royal capital ......

"Lord Catherine, I wonder why you summoned me this time?"

Jarulman asked, bowing his head.

"Jarulman, I heard you've been looking for trouble in the Mystic Valley lately?"

Catherine asked lazily.

At this time, Catherine was sitting lazily in a chair, supporting her face with her right hand, looking at Jaruhrman in front of her.

"Yes, Lord Catherine, because the dog died in the Mystic Valley, I want to ask for an explanation, besides, because the Mystic Valley has grown in recent years, a large number of mages have poured into the Mystic Valley, and the situation is faintly uncontrollable, after all, the Mystic Valley is a neutral force, and I am doing this to take the opportunity to promote the majesty of the empire and tell them not to go too far."

Catherine probably understood what Jaruhrman meant.

He actually didn't care about the life or death of his wasted little son, he was just afraid that the Mystic Valley would affect the internal structure of the empire, and if the Mystic Valley continued to develop like this, one day it would overwhelm the Secret Law City of the Empire, you must know that almost all the magicians in the Imperial Army came from the Secret Law City.

If this continues, the existence of the Mystic Valley will affect the development of the empire.

Jarulman's hand, whether it is the Valley of Mystic Arts, acknowledging and handing over a scapegoat, or tearing up the face with the Empire, is of great benefit to the Empire. The former can make the Mystic Valley lose face, and when everyone thinks of this scene, they will naturally consider the path of the Mystic City.

With the latter, the empire can take advantage of this to raise troops and completely control the Valley of Mysticism.

After all, the Valley of Secret Arts, which cannot be used by the country, is tantamount to a nail inserted in the heart of the Eternal Night Empire.

The matter of human power and government is really complicated.

"Jarulman, you should know that my daughter is an elder in the Valley of Mysticism, right?"

As soon as Catherine said this, Jaruelman's heart suddenly paused.

Does Catherine mean to stand out for the Valley of Mysticism? Or do you just care about your daughter unilaterally?

"Please also rest assured that you are the mainstay of the Empire, your daughter, and naturally enjoy Imperial protection."

Catherine pressed her temples with a headache.

She didn't expect Jarullman to have such a deep attachment to the Valley of Mysticism.

After all, it was Brother Ye Xiao's explanation to himself, and if he agreed, he must do it.

"Jarulman, I'm doing this for your good."

A glint flashed in Catherine's eyes.

If he failed to solve this matter, Brother Ye Xiao would be angry...... But it's terrifying......

It made Jarulman's body stagnate.

"Jaruerman is just thinking about the Empire, Lord Catherine, the matter of the Secret Art Valley, please think twice, although you are the peak of the Law God, but you must know that the Empire has thirty God Realm masters."

Catherine's eyes flashed with fierceness.

Is Jarulman threatening himself?

He's a little paladin threatening himself with a god of law?

However, Jarulman was right, the Valley of Mystic was indeed a faint threat to the Empire's position now.

They are all crazy people who seek the ultimate in magic and are not going to work for the Empire at all.

Although he is in the Empire, he is not under the control of the Empire, and he has always been a thorn in the heart of the Empire.

Catherine was in the Empire because the first kings had embraced the elves who had fallen into the eternal night and were no longer fit to live in the forest, and Catherine had always remembered this kindness.

If she hadn't been able to meet Ye Xiao, presumably Catherine would have chosen it the same way......

But when I think about it at this time, I am no longer the little girl who follows Ye Xiao's ass and speaks of Ye Xiao's brother, she is now the queen of elves, not only for herself, but also for the sake of her current elven people.

Catherine closed her eyes and thought for a long time, before finally making a decision.

"I and my people will not be involved in this matter, Jarulman, although your choice has some truth, but I still have to say that you really chose the wrong person this time."

Jarulman didn't reply, and slowly bowed his head and retreated.

No one saw the fierceness on Jarulman's face after he exited the door......
