Chapter 1056 Internal Troubles

"Your Majesty said that he hopes to arrange a title for your people. Is this what you asked His Majesty to do?"

Elder Mai Sonoda was unceremonious and straight to the point.

Seeing that she was so sure, I didn't hide anything and admitted it bluntly: "Yes, it was my request. This is my only request to assist the Queen in tracking down the attack on Princess Analetta."

"Don't you feel guilty for doing this?" Elder Mai Sonoda frowned angrily: "Taking advantage of others' difficulties to make demands, what's the difference between this and taking advantage of someone's situation?"

"There is a difference," I said righteously: "I am just a resident here, and I have nothing to do with the nobility or the royal family, so naturally I have no obligation to donate free of charge."

Elder Sonoda Wu raised his eyebrows and said: "A gentleman does not take advantage of others' danger. Are you acting like a gentleman?"

"What do you mean, I'm not like that at all. Why should I be a gentleman? A gentleman suffers a lot." I spread my hands and said, "A gentleman must be magnanimous, be humble and courteous, be loyal to the emperor, be patriotic, etc. , don’t you think these restrictions are too many? Moreover, don’t you think that precisely because of these restrictions, the joy of being a human being is much less, and even the joy and laughter in life have become less, right?”

"That's nonsense," the elder shouted angrily.

"That's what I think anyway. As for how you understand it, it still has nothing to do with me."

I don't care about spreading my hands.

Elder Mai Sonoda's hair was so angry that he just wanted to add a few more burning flames to the void.

The atmosphere was deadlocked for a while. The elder suddenly grabbed the staff, pointed the head at me, and said, "I really want to destroy you with magic!"

I looked relaxed and said: "It's impossible, you can't do it. Although I'm not a magician, I still know a little bit about magic. Instant magic is not powerful enough to kill me. It can kill me." Magic chanting takes a long time, and if I had the skill to chant, I would have run away long ago, so I wouldn't be stupidly waiting for you to use your ultimate move."

The elder's expression was very excited, her body was shaking, and the staff in her hand was also shaking, but I was not nervous because she was not chanting.

After a while, the staff was thrown away by the elder and fell on the table with a crisp sound. She sighed deeply: "If our clan hadn't been in constant internal troubles, how could we ask for help from outsiders."

I spread my hands: "You think I want to help? It's a dispute between the nobles and the royal family. There might be a civil strife. Do you know how risky this is? To put it mildly, if the situation is If I change, I will most likely be thankless for my hard work and end up as a sinner who caused civil strife among the elves. At that time, I will be completely unable to gain a foothold in Moonlight City. Do you think it is a problem for me to ask for a reward in return for taking such a big risk? Is it too much?"

Elder Mai Sonoda said nothing. She just stared at me and breathed heavily. Looking at her old look, I was really worried that she might have accidentally burped.

After stabilizing her mood for a long time, the elder finally stopped breathing, but her eyes were still glaring at me. She said in a very rude tone: "Did you know that because of the knighthood, we elders have become very unhappy with each other?"

"It seems that they seem to be in harmony with each other," I muttered.

"What did you say!" The elder raised his eyebrows and shouted.

"No, nothing." I pretended to be innocent.

"Although I really don't want you to become a noble of our clan, for the sake of the queen and the princess, I will help you this time."

Elder Mai Sonoda's tone became extremely heroic, as if it took great courage to help me.

"Actually, you don't have to do this." Halfway through my words, I saw the elder looking at me unkindly. I had no choice but to swallow the second half of my sentence back and suppress a smile: "Thank you for your help, old man. I'm polite here."

After that, he bowed politely.

The elder waved his hand: "Step back."

I cooperated and respectfully stepped down.

After leaving the door, I grinned, muttered "pretending", and then quietly returned the way I came.

After returning home, as soon as I entered the door, I was startled by a pair of shiny objects. When I took a closer look, it turned out to be Remy's wide-open eyes.

I patted my chest continuously, and I couldn't help but said, "I'm scared to death. It's so late at night, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Remy pouted and said displeasedly: "Where did you go?"

That tone, that look, she was just like a harried woman complaining that her husband has been away from home for a long time!

He reached out and rubbed her soft hair: "Don't make trouble, I'm busy with business."

Remi curled her lips with a look of 'I don't believe you', then she came closer to me and sniffed up and down with her little nose for a long time. The expression on her face changed from displeasure and dissatisfaction at the beginning to confusion later.

After smelling the smell, she tilted her head and looked at me for a while, then floated back to the sofa with a puzzled look on her face, muttering: "No, men who come home late should have a strange scent on them."

Nani? How did Remy know this?

Four beautiful girls instantly appeared in my mind: it must be the four of them. Who else would teach Remi this kind of knowledge besides them!

Really, if this continues, Remy will be taught a bad lesson.

To be honest, I really wanted to knock on the door of the room, teach Phoenix and the others a lesson, and warn them not to teach Remy everything, but seeing how late it was, I gave up the idea.

As soon as I fell asleep holding Remi in my arms, I felt an uncomfortable feeling coming from behind me. It felt like someone was staring at me with their eyes.

Subconsciously, I was about to look back, but my turning movement stopped. I estimated that as soon as I turned around, those eyes would disappear in an instant, leaving me empty-handed. At the moment, the safest way was -

"Are you asleep?" I patted Remy and asked.

"Nothing." Remi opened her eyes, and the fluorescence lit up again.

"Can you put the light out of your eyes?" I asked her.

Remy shook his head: "Didn't I say it before? It's not possible yet."

After exhaling, I said: "It's okay."

Remi blinked: "Is something wrong?"

"Well," I said, "please peek your head quietly for a while and help me see if there is anyone in the lower courtyard."

"good!"

After Remi finished speaking, her little face became extremely excited. She raised her head little by little, like a hide-and-seek child looking at the seeker outside.

I held my breath and looked sideways at her, and saw her big eyes looking over my body, turning left and right several times, and suddenly freezing on a certain point. At that moment, her little face tightened, and she blurted out: "Someone !”

"Shh" I motioned her to whisper, and then asked: "What is he dressed up like?"

"The whole body is covered in black tights. There is a very delicate crossbow on the side of the waist, and there is a dagger stuck on the other side."

From her description, he must be a member of the Elf Assassination Team.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and just when I was about to tell her to lie down and sleep, and don't worry about the people outside, I heard Remi say again: "Hey, another person has come, and that person's clothes are the same as the last time we met!"
