Instructor Nora walked over from the camp with an elven guard and said to Roy, who was stretching:

"Roy, Lord Earl Griffin wants to see you."

Roy stopped, wiped the sweat from his face with a towel, and asked with some confusion:

"Instructor, are you talking about Lord Earl Griffin, the head of the negotiating team? How could Earl Griffin find me? ”

Instructor Nora turned to look at the elven guard beside him and replied:

"I didn't say anything specific, I guess it might be to compliment you, after all, so many slave traders have been arrested, and it is said that the negotiations have gone very smoothly in the last two days, go quickly, don't let Earl Griffin wait for a long time."

Roy hurriedly tidied up his training uniform and said, "Oh, got it." ”

Then Roy followed the elven guard to a luxurious carriage, and the elven guard stepped forward and knocked on the door of the carriage, saying, "Lord Earl, Roy is here." ”

"Let him in."

The voice of an old elf came from the carriage.

The elven guards opened the carriage and gestured to Roy to enter.

Roy was looking at this carriage, usually he didn't pay much attention to these carriages in the negotiation team, now it seems, in fact, there is still a big difference between these carriages, take this carriage as an example, it seems ordinary, but many details have very delicate decorations, especially the carvings and decorations on the outside of the carriage, almost all of them are extremely exquisite dark pattern carvings.

Roy couldn't recognize the family crest on the carriage, which carved a horned eagle beast with wings spreading, this kind of magical beast is now rare in the elven continent, and most of the horned eagle beasts have been raised by the elven nobles......

Roy looked down at his shoes and slipped into the carriage.

From the outside, the carriage was nothing special, similar to some of the four-wheeled carriages you usually see in Castletown.

But when Roy walked into the carriage, he found that the space inside was the size of four or five carriages, and it was obviously the spatial magic mastered by the elves.

There is a living room in the carriage, and when you look into the carriage from the outside window, you can only see the row of seats at the very edge of the parlor, and the space of the carriage extends backwards along the luggage rack of the carriage.

With four long rows of sofas, a few single upholstery sofas in the surrounding corners, and a marble coffee table in the center, there was no problem even if a dozen elven officials gathered here.

In addition to the living room, there is apparently a bedroom inside.

An old elf dressed in aristocratic attire sat alone on a couch, looking at a report with a steaming cup of tea on the coffee table.

Roy walked into the carriage, and the old elf looked up and pointed to the sofa opposite for Roy to sit down.

"Sit down, young man, your name is Roy?"

"Yes. Earl Griffin. ”

Roy sat on the soft sofa, touching the leather of the sofa with both hands, the leather was as soft as water, and even had waves of ripples when he sat on it, and he couldn't tell what kind of leather it was made of.

Earl Griffin stared at Roy with a pair of wise eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he had a strong aura of superiority.

Roy's breathing slowed down a bit, and he asked Earl Griffin, "Lord Earl, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

"Of course, I usually like to chat with young people, so that I can find those youth who have long gone, but I invite you to come to me today because I have some questions I want to know from you." Earl Griffin smiled gently.

"Roy, I heard you were born in Castleton?" Earl Griffin asked casually.

"Yes, my mother is the Silver Moon Elf of Castletown."

"So did you go to school?" Earl Griffin continued to ask.

"Now studying at the Castletown Elf Academy, our adventure group is made up of college instructors and students, and only goes on expeditions during the holidays, and this time we came to the Partington Plane at the invitation of the Earl of Swinburne to investigate the slave traders hiding in the rebels." Roy replied honestly.

Earl Griffin nodded and said to Roy, "You have done a great job and helped us a lot in our negotiations. Usually in the academy, the courses of each subject must be very intense, right? ”

"Uh...... That's true, there's little time to spare. Roy replied honestly.

"It's nice to be able to enrich yourself in a way that you learn......"

Roy chatted with Earl Griffin about his life in a daze, and then Count Griffin ended the conversation.

There is no such thing as a reward in Nora's mouth......

Roy didn't understand, did Earl Griffin just want to talk about family things when he saw him?

……

Seeing Roy away, Earl Griffin pondered alone in the carriage for a long time, until he raised his head again and then commanded the elven guards outside the carriage:

"Inform the other negotiators and invite them to come to me."

"Yes, Lord Earl Griffin."

The guards received the order and hurriedly called in the other six negotiators.

Not long after, six negotiators came to Lord Griffin's carriage one after another, and among these negotiators, only Viscount Euphelia was a lady, and when she got into the carriage, she glanced at Count Griffin, and immediately guessed the Earl's thoughts.

The other negotiators couldn't figure out why Earl Griffin called everyone together.

It is even believed that Count Griffin wants to pressure the rebels tomorrow to give up the idea of rejecting the Silvermoon Elf nobles as consuls.

How could the Silver Moon Elf refuse to serve as an archon in the territory of the Silver Moon Elves, it was simply ridiculous.

Everyone sat down on the sofa, and Viscount Augsig said to Count Griffin:

"These rebels are so disrespectful, harboring slave traders and refusing the management of the Silver Moon Elves, what are they trying to do? Isn't it enough to have a communal domain? These greedy fellows should be taught a good lesson with whips and sticks......"

"Count Griffin, now that I have investigated the actual combat strength of this rebel army, it is still very easy to destroy these rebel troops as long as a regular army is dispatched."

After Viscount Augsig finished speaking, he bowed slightly to Earl Griffin.

Viscount Euphelia stood up angrily and said, "I know...... We want to destroy this rebel army at no cost, and we don't need to be bored with them here...... But...... Why are we still negotiating with them here? ”

"This is an elven dispute, and if it can be resolved peacefully, there is no need to start a war." One of the negotiators beside Viscount Euphelia replied.

"And this is a rich plane of lush forests, rich in all kinds of magical herbs, and once war breaks out here, it will be difficult to return to its original prosperous appearance for decades to come." Viscount Euphelia continued.

"In a word, we can bring in the army to completely destroy this place, but who will build this place in the future? I? You? Or are you all here? ”

"Once these half-blood elves are imprisoned, Paddesto may slowly become an empty city......" Viscount Euphelia spoke in a passionate voice.

The other negotiators sat around, not saying a word.

However, most of the negotiators still agreed with Viscount Euphelia's view.

"Now, the differences between us and the rebels are here! They no longer trust the Archon of the Silver Moon Elves because of the slave trade in Padstow, and we can't afford a half-blood elf to be the Archon of this town, so how do we choose one? ”

"Otherwise, let's find a Dark Moon Elf or Wood Elf to be the Archon here!" A negotiator suggested.

"I agree with this!" Other negotiators have taken a stand.

Viscount Euphelia frowned and said, "It's already messy enough, do you want the Dark Moon Elves and Wood Elves to join in?" ”

Earl Griffin knocked on the table with his li, and when he saw that all the negotiators had stopped arguing, the Earl said, "You can all recommend some candidates for the town magistrates...... Viscount Augsig, do you have a suitable candidate for mayor of the town? ”

"I'm sorry, Earl Griffin, I don't have a suitable candidate for the time being." Viscount Augsig hurriedly waved his hand and said.

Earl Griffin put his hand on his knee and glanced at Viscount Euphelia before saying, "Just like Viscount Euphelia just said, we want to restore the prosperity of the Partington plane to the past, not give up here completely, so we came here to make peace with them......"

With that, Count Griffin's gaze fell on Viscount Euphelia's face.

Viscount Euphelia immediately understood Count Griffin's thoughts, and immediately got up from the sofa and said to Count Griffin:

"Lord Earl, I have a suggestion, in fact, there is a half-elf named Roy in our negotiating team, and I would like to recommend him as the first mayor of Fortress Town."

Viscount Augsig frowned and questioned Viscount Euphelia, "Roy...... Why is there a half-elf in our negotiating team? ”

"A member of the investigation team arranged by the Earl of Swinburn of the Seventeenth Legion." Viscount Euphelia explained.

Hearing the name of Earl Swinburn, the surrounding negotiators paused, and everyone was rethinking one thing in their hearts, could this half-elf named Roy be deliberately arranged by Earl Swinburn?

"As far as I know, Christine. Miss Swinburn was also on the team, and Roy was a good friend of Miss Christine...... "Viscount Euphelia's message once again detonated the audience.

Suddenly there was silence in the carriage, and everyone looked at Viscount Euffhelia.

After a few seconds, they raised their hands and said:

"I agree!"

"Agree ......"

It was only then that Earl Griffin cleared his throat and said to everyone, "That's good...... Tomorrow we will be like they are proposing a candidate for the consul of Newtown. ”

With that, Earl Griffin said no more.

The negotiators also took their leave......

……

At this time, Roy, who was crouching by the campfire and roasting a pineapple, never thought that he had been nominated to become the Archon of Barrier Town.

He stuck the canopy of pineapples into the fire and asked Instructor Nora, who was sitting next to him:

"Instructor, you see that we have identified the slave traders in the rebel army, when will we be able to return to Castletown?"
