Chapter 49: Moves and Moves
In the midst of the staggering, Anastria, who was distracted, took in the events of the ballroom.
He noticed the gathering of four aristocratic councillors, and there was a slight look of jealousy in his eyes as he looked at Darkan.
Taking advantage of the fact that the royal family of the Sunchaser and the four nobles were involved in most of each other's attention, Darkan secretly contacted many small and medium-sized nobles.
When the news of the failure of the four nobles to challenge the royal power spread in the aristocratic circles, the precautionary shots that Darkan had laid in advance became his foresight in the eyes of these nobles.
Today's aristocratic faction, Silvermoon Councillor, is actually very different from the previous "aristocratic faction".
In the past, Darkan and others represented the interests of the four nobles, and they were nothing more than marionettes placed in front of the stage.
Now that the four nobles are in temporary decline, the small and medium-sized nobles who covet their status and influence are beginning to move.
But their ability and power are far from being able to blatantly wrestle with the royal family of the Sun Chaser like the four nobles.
It just so happened that at this time, Darkan, who was a member of the Silver Moon, stepped forward.
Through rhetoric, he persuaded the nobles who were trying to expand their family's influence to stand behind him.
Thus, the reorganization of the newly born aristocratic parliamentarians was completed.
They are no longer puppets of the four nobles, but stand in front of the stage openly, representing the interests of the small and medium-sized nobles, and continue to play games with the aging Sun King.
Darkan's ability to seize the gap between Anasria's attention to the four nobles and take the opportunity to strengthen his power is enough to prove that he is not an ordinary person.
This Mesozoic politician is definitely not just a lackey of the four nobles, he has his own ambitions and ambitions, which should not be underestimated.
Anastria's mind raced, and from the changing expressions and lip shapes of the other three councillors, he could roughly guess the direction of the topic they were discussing.
'Heh~ The news is quite well-informed. ’
Seeing off a few minor nobles with a spring breeze on his face, Anastria still maintained a kind smile on his face, his lips twitched a few times, and he silently conveyed the latest instructions to someone through spells.
……
Royal Gardens
After hearing stories about Nathanos' past, Sylvanas decided to find someone to teach her apprentice in hand-to-hand combat.
There was nothing Salian could do about it, so he could only pray that Nathanos would be blessed.
"By the way, the instrument you have on your waist......"
Sylvanas bent curiously to look at Sarjan's waist.
In addition to the space package given by Julian, Sarren also hung the pale blue piccolo he had received from Ellett around his waist.
Salian himself didn't pay much attention, and when Sylvanas, who was dressed in a low-cut dress, bent over, the barrage suddenly began to brush up on inexplicable words such as Ah Wei's death, what a deep career line, and what a big and white moon.
"This?"
Sarayan took down the very delicately shaped piccolo and handed it to Sylvanas.
"It was given to me by some mysterious weirdo, I've tried many times, but I haven't been able to blow it, maybe there's some special limit."
"Oh?"
Sylvanas looked at it with interest: "Magic instruments? But I didn't feel any arcane fluctuations. ”
TechnologyAll High Elves are born with an arcane affinity and are very sensitive to the flow of arcane energy.
Salian shook her head, "I asked Melia to check, this flute doesn't contain any known energy, and she can't say why. ”
"Melia?"
Sylvanas cupped her chin in her hand and tilted her head in thought for a moment.
"I remember, it's the archmage of the Tower of the Morning Star, Meria Starling."
"Can't even find out the clues to her......"
Sylvanas looked thoughtfully at the piccolo in her hand, and brought the muzzle to her thin red lips, trying to blow it.
"Whew! Call! ”
I tried to drum up several times, but I never heard any music.
Although Sarjan's expression did not change at all, Sylvanas still felt a little uncomfortable on his face.
"Humph!"
Throwing the flute back to Sarren, she turned her head and said, "Either there are some special restrictions as you said, or the flute itself is defective." ”
Sallian smiled noncommittally and hung the piccolo back on his waist.
Just as Sylvanas was about to find another topic to kill time, her long, narrow elven ears suddenly twitched, and her eyes narrowed slightly at a shadow behind Sarean's side.
"Heh~"
With a chuckle, Sylvanas had a playful look on her face.
"I'll go back to the venue to say hello to Your Majesty first, and I won't bother you, but...... This is the royal court, pay attention to proportion~"
Against the backdrop of the barrage of question marks, Sylvanas turned his back and waved goodbye to Saljan, walking to the side door of the venue with a pair of straight and snow-white long legs.
"I ...... Guys? ”
Sarjan subconsciously turned his head to look behind him.
"Humph!"
A familiar grunt came from the shadows that Sylvanas had been concerned about, and Valeera, whose face was full of displeasure, walked out with an unkind look in her eyes.
"Why did you get together with her?"
Valeera's unabassing questioning made the barrage blossom.
"Ah, this ......"
"Shura Field?"
"Obviously not, it should be said that the fun people deliberately arch the fire to watch the show."
"Xiwa should have noticed Valeera's presence a long time ago, good fellow, she's also a melon-loving Ru?"
"God is so happy, I don't know if you did it on purpose or if you made a typo for a while."
The barrage happily began to eat melons, and Sarren, as the party concerned, was not so relaxed.
Helplessly, he spread his hands and tried to explain.
"It's just that we're not used to the atmosphere of a banquet, and we just happened to meet in the garden."
"Let's not talk about that."
Sarjan wittily failed to reason with Valeera, who was angry, and past experience had taught him that this was a pointless act.
Changing the subject, Salian threw the question back to Valeera.
"This afternoon, you said that you were going to be on duty and couldn't leave, and at this time you suddenly slipped over to find me, you should have an order, right?"
"Tsk!"
Valera smacked her lips in displeasure, although she still wanted to continue to play on the topic, but she was indeed tasked with the task assigned by the Sun King, and it was still important to get down to business.
"Your Majesty asked me to tell you that at the celebration ceremony in the future, it is very likely that someone will find you trouble, so that you can be prepared to deal with it in advance."
Salian tilted his head in confusion: "Trouble me?" Why? I returned to Silver Moon City this time to be very low-key, and I didn't offend anyone, right? ”
Valera shrugged: "How do I know, this is Your Majesty's original words, you can decide for yourself." ”
"I'm going to rush back to my life, it's almost time for you to go back to the venue, stop attracting bees and butterflies in the garden."
With that, Valeera disappeared into the shadows again.
Sarian shook his head speechlessly: "How to attract bees and butterflies, it is easier to attract the attention of others when you return to the venue." ”
However, as Valera said, the first part of the banquet is nearing its end, the celebration is about to begin, and it is time to return to the hall.
"Is anyone looking for trouble...... He~ I can't ask for it, I've been idle for a few days, and my hands are itching. ”
"Ka~Ka~"
Sarean moved his neck, making a crisp sound of bones colliding.
"No matter who's calculating, just make a move, just let me move my body."
