Chapter 1039 Night Visit
After listening to Ren's words, I smiled slightly: "Oh? According to your analysis, things might become very interesting."
Ren chuckled, the scars on his face twisted and hideous: "This is what is called unintentional insertion."
I was silent for a while and asked him: "If it really goes so smoothly, should I add a little more fuel to the flames in the next step?"
Ren pondered for a moment and shook his head decisively: "No, we can't be in such a hurry. If we continue to add fuel to the flames at this time, it is very likely that the Elf Queen will suspect our motives. If the situation becomes like this, then we will be passive."
I pinched my chin and thought for a moment: "Then I'll just wait and see what happens?"
Ren frowned: "This may be the safest way so far."
"Just wait and see what happens." I stared at the wine bottle in my hand. In the glass bottle, the lavender nectar was swaying slightly, like a restless heart.
After staring at it for a while, I slightly raised the corners of my mouth and smiled: "Maybe this will be more interesting."
The next day, I took the girls to the dungeon to slay monsters as usual. After slaying monsters, I went to the Elf Palace to discuss with Emily as usual.
After the discussion, we walked home side by side. On the way, Emily said: "Did you hear that the three human traffickers who abducted the children were arranged by the Queen to leave Moonlight City?"
"Oh?" I said calmly: "How did you arrange it? Is it by airship?"
"No." Emily shook her head: "They were banished to a small boat and told to fend for themselves."
"That's it," I said calmly, but I already had a plan in mind.
"You don't seem to care about this matter," Emily said.
"I definitely won't care." I spread my hands and said, "These traffickers have nothing to do with me, so why should I care about their affairs?"
"After all, you caught these human traffickers with your own hands," Emily said.
"So what?" I retorted: "Do you still care about every monster you kill?"
Emily looked at me lightly and thought for a moment: "That's true."
"Please, do you still need to think about such a simple question?" I shrugged, expressing my helplessness.
Then, I asked her: "Does the Queen have anything to say about this matter?"
Emily thought for a while and said: "The Queen asked her clerk to issue a document."
"Document?" I asked, "What does it say?"
Emily said: "These three human traffickers kidnapped my people and harmed their families. In order to vent the public's anger, I decided to banish them to the sea and let them die on their own!"
After hearing this, I smiled and said, "Hey, I even used classical Chinese~"
"Classical Chinese?" Emily had a question mark on her face.
I waved my hand: "I said it casually, you don't need to take it too seriously."
Hearing what I said, Emily blinked and didn't ask any more questions.
After dinner, I had nothing to do and ran outside for a walk to eat.
On the surface, I pretended to be aimless and wandered on the street. In fact, I had already observed all the movements around me with my senses.
Today's night is very dark, and the moon is sometimes obscured by passing clouds. It's really a good killing night.
However, what disappoints me is that on this night of such a great opportunity, no one from the Elf Assassination Team came to stay.
Is it because they forgot?
Or are they tired of this boring behavior?
Or could it be that those who came to camp tonight are all masters among masters, and they have used some kind of concealment technique that I cannot detect?
In order to test the third idea, I quickened my pace and at the same time, I ducked towards the darkness between the tree houses.
However - is it really the case that no one is staying? !
I looked around in confusion, and for a moment, my heart was filled with an empty loneliness.
The Elf Assassination Team, which is usually like a dog-skin plaster that can't be shaken off, didn't come to stay today.
Why do I suddenly feel nostalgic?
Somewhat depressed, I squatted in the corner, drew a few circles on the bark of the tree house with my fingers, and wrote a big word 'lonely' in the air - without the members of the Elf Assassination Team to tease me, I was about to die. .
After that, I raised my head in a daze, wondering if it was time to go home directly. As I was thinking, a tall treehouse caught my attention, which was the home of Elder Mai Sonoda.
Hey, think about it, it's been a long time since I've been a 'guest' at Elder Mai Sonoda's home, although the way I've been a 'guest' is a bit unusual.
Should I go or not?
I lowered my head and thought for two and a half seconds, then made up my mind and decided to harass her.
I still got in through the chimney, and I was covered in ashes again. I complained to Elder Mai Sonoda for not cleaning the ashes in the chimney. I quietly slipped out of the kitchen, and took one with me. tomato.
I sneaked all the way to the room where the elder usually handles official business. I posted on the door and listened to the sounds inside. Well, there was no sound. Was it not in this room? Or is she concentrating hard on reviewing documents?
Thinking of this, I pushed the door of the room subconsciously. It was easy for me to push the door open.
Sure enough, Elder Mai Sonoda was at his desk diligently reading through documents.
I quietly slipped into the room, closed the door, and coughed slightly to signal my arrival.
Elder Mai Sonoda didn't seem to hear my voice and was still flipping through the documents on the table.
I cut, raised my fist, and knocked on the door.
After several muffled bangs, Elder Mai Sonoda raised her head. She rubbed her old eyes, looked over at me, and then frowned: "Why are you here?"
"Hey, Mr. Elder, what you said is so rude. I'm here to visit you. I'm a guest. It doesn't matter if I don't have tea or snacks. You even spoke in such a rude tone, hey."
I sighed in mock disappointment.
"If you are not satisfied, you can go back at any time." Elder Mai Sonoda said calmly.
"Well, forget it, I have a broad mind and won't argue with you." After searching around, I found a wooden box and moved it over to use as a chair. I said to Elder Mai Sonoda, "Sir, regarding yesterday's meeting with me and What do you think of the Queen’s conversation?”
Elder Sonoda Mai said calmly: "Your Majesty is kind-hearted and kind. She doesn't want to see her own people suffer, and she doesn't want to become enemies with the people of other families. This kind of idea is kind."
I held my chin with an expectant expression on my face: "Oh, is there anything else?"
Elder Mai Sonoda thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, in her action to capture the human traffickers, she paid great attention to the overall situation and was far-sighted. She has met most of the conditions for a qualified queen. I feel very honored for this."
What do you mean? Why are you always praising the Elf Queen? Isn't there a word of criticism?
