Section 117
If you had to pick one of the most extravagant places in the Taturn Empire, the Palace of Parliament would be the place to be.
The magical red dragon skin covered the entire palace, keeping Montreal Hills warm even in winter, whale oil more extravagant than the eternal magic lamp, rock giants skinning pillars, and above the staircase a seat of bones made of the heads of elves and orcs savage, orcs gentleβit must be a skeletal seat to sit on all the time.
But at least they had a respect for the elves, dwarves, and orcs, the main races that also came out of Wilhelm: at least their skins and bones were not found in the palace.
Now, on the seat of bones with a sassy ass, leaning against a young figure wearing a crown.
"Beautiful messenger, you came late at night, do you want to have a wonderful interracial date with me?"
"Monarch of Tatun, I want to talk to you about the Alien Order."
"Beautiful elf lady, I can't do that. The alien order was decided by all of our Supreme Thirteen Kingsβ"
"The Southern Nations have twisted the alien order into slaughter and slavery, and you can ignore it." Elder Teddell interrupted him.
The young emperor didn't care at all, shook his head and said, "No, the decision of the Holy Temple Council is beyond doubt, this is the cornerstone of humanity. β
"The slaughter of enslaved elves is also the cornerstone of yours?"
Elder Teddell's tone grew cold, and he was about to threaten "Are humans ready to be attacked by elves, orcs, and dwarves?" when a shout suddenly sounded in his ears: "Hello, hello, it's Iri...... Is it the Emissary? β
There was a moment of silence, and Teddell smiled as he melted the frost. The tone was no longer indifferent: "Monarch of Tatunn, the elves have discovered that those nezumi have a set, do your expeditionary forces need some elven rangers?" β
The young emperor's face was flat, which would make him look majestic: "It is rare for the elves to bow their noble heads...... However, no. β
He leaned forward from the Throne of Bones and solemnly told the emissary of the Elven Court, "There is no precedent for the Montreal Golden Family to have their allies betrayed, so I will issue a decree to cancel the alien order in the Empire!" β
β¦β¦
"Thanks."
Annan and the stunned knight with his sword collided and came to the familiar office.
"Orin! Olin! Annan unceremoniously broke into her office and found a strange middle-aged nobleman sitting beside her, and his tone became lower: "Sister Oulin, it's time for you to go home." β
For the sake of the guests.
"Your Excellency, Commander, I'll go back first." The middle-aged nobleman stood up and saluted, bowed to Annan and left the office.
"Who is he?"
"It's none of your business." Orin didn't seem to be in a good mood.
"It's always my business to get you home."
"I still have official business." She said.
Annan ignored it, leaned over the table forcefully and said, "You have to go back, do you know what the ancestor told me?" She said that when the child grows up, he will go outside! β
"It can't ......"
"I've taken a blame for you."
Ou Lin couldn't think of Annan's reason to lie to himself, so he had to sigh: "I'll go back later, do you know the person who left just now?" He was Mongley's father......"
"Who is Mongley?"
ββ¦β¦ You don't know? He's played you in tournaments. β
"Hmm...... I mean, why did his father come to you? β
"My men have committed some ...... because of Mongli I caught him by mistake, and his father came to me to intercede. β
"They have a good relationship with you?"
"Mongley's mother is my aunt......"
Sure enough, it was a noble marriage again, and Ou Lin's sneezing in the upper district would infect three aunts and seven uncles.
"So you find it difficult, but you have to help because of blood, right?"
Orin let out an "um".
"It's so sad......"
"What?"
"You left the old ancestor alone in the manor for this kind of thing, the old ancestor was cursed and tortured, he couldn't walk, and he couldn't see clearly, so he could only hold Lily and miss his juniors......"
β¦β¦
In the evening, Annan, Ou Lin and the old ancestor sat in front of the fireplace for a family dinner.
In addition to the fire in the fireplace, only the candles lit by the servants kept the restaurant warm.
While eating, Annan secretly looked at his ancestors. The old ancestor was tearing a piece of chicken into shredded meat and feeding it to Lily, and it seemed that he was no longer angry with himself......
Orin also uncharacteristically talks about Mongley and his father, and the ancestor talks about Orin's childhood: when she returns that day, she vows to be a knight who guards justice and the people.
"I know how to do it." Ou Lin picked up a towel and wiped the corners of her mouth, "I'll tell Aunt Ollie in a moment." β
"Annan, when are you going back?"
"Just like you."
Before leaving, Annan received good news: negotiations between the Empire and the Elven Court were progressing.
The Alien Order is hopefully invalidated in the Tatooun Empire.
And the participant and promoter of this event, Annan emerged with pride in participating in the big event.
When the last afterglow disappeared from the sky, Annan picked up Lily, brought the stupid cat over, said goodbye to the ancestor, and asked Ou Lin to take care of the Moonlight Opera House and disappear into the portal opened by the ancestor.
Everyone takes what they need from this pure emotion: Ou Lin makes up for the memories of the past, the ancestors are accompanied by the younger generation, and Annan? He gets it all in itself: the joy of helping others.
And a tiny hint of goodness.
Returning to Sartovis at nightfall, and from Sertovis back to Gem City, Annan gets a second piece of good news: Michael and Francois have returned.
Annan doesn't have to play around anymore...... You don't have to do everything yourself.
There's another interesting thing behind Francois's return:
Michael and Francois were working as mercenaries in the Fallen Leaf Territory, and it was not Olmedo's people who found them, and when they were taking a commission, they were suddenly pointed at Francois by a ranger and shouted "Andy", so the two who knew about Annan's current situation from the ranger ran back.
"Floating City ......"
Francois trembled as if he was making out with a man: "I dreamed of a floating city......"
"That's not going to work, I'll leave it to Olmedo, deputy city lord." Annan joked.
"I mean, as long as I can live here, it's satisfying......" Francois groped around the Lord's Mansion that had not yet been lifted.
"What can I do!"
Francois is ready to give his life for Nova Moon Bay.
Annan pointed out the window to the north: "It's March, it's time for us to farm...... What about Michael Talk? β
"He said he was going to send you the money he earned...... Didn't you meet him? β
