Chapter 1121: Being a Gunslinger

Cagalli heard my doubts, thought for a moment, and whispered: "I can't think clearly about this issue for a while. Why don't we go home and discuss it."

At this point, she winked at me.

I immediately calmed down. There was civil unrest outside Moonlight City, and no one could guarantee whether the walls had ears. As for such private matters, we should wait until we get home, close the door, and close the windows before discussing them slowly.

At that moment, I remained silent and quickly returned to the tree house with everyone.

When we got home, Phoenix and the others had already prepared a series of delicacies such as barbecue, and were looking forward to our return to have a party to celebrate our success.

The most popular delicacy is Kuroge beef jerky.

Speaking of black beef jerky, I originally gave the Elf Queen a box, but the expression on her face was a helpless smile, speechless and difficult to refuse, and she hesitated for a long time before reluctantly accepting it.

Before leaving the palace, I specially told the Queen: "There is a lot of beef jerky. I will bring it to you after you finish eating."

Now that I think about it, it was me who was being abrupt - didn't the Elf Queen not eat meat? The last time we had a meal, the Queen was fed a piece of meat by her younger sister, and she scolded her angrily for a long time. I remember this clearly, but God knows what I did. Why did the Queen forget about this when she sent the black beef jerky!

Speaking of which, the Elf Queen also gave me enough face. She doesn't eat meat at first, but she was stuffed with a box of beef jerky. She didn't throw black beef jerky at me on the spot. She was already very generous. What's more, she endured the helplessness. It was put away. Oops, the more I thought about it, the more ashamed I became.

I put my forehead on my face and felt my cheeks burning.

At this time, someone lightly slapped my ribs. I turned my head slightly and looked: it was Phoenix.

Fenghuang looked worried and said, "Xiao Yi, do you have a fever? Your face is so red."

She stretched out her little hand and touched it again, and became even more worried: "It's still hot."

"It's okay," I said, "I don't have a fever. It's just a natural reaction due to shame. It's the same type as eating lemon and wrinkled nose."

"Why are you ashamed?" Phoenix's worry faded slightly, but his curiosity grew.

"What can that kid Xiaoyi be ashamed of? I think he probably caused trouble to a girl from some family. I'm sorry to tell you, huh, huh, huh!"

Before Billy finished speaking, Gordo stuffed his mouth full of barbecue.

Ignoring Billy's sarcastic remarks, I sighed slightly and told the story of sending black beef jerky to the Elf Queen.

The first person to speak was Princess Analita. She was holding a wine bottle in one hand and tearing into a piece of roasted beef leg. She said: "Sister, it's time for her to change her habit of not eating meat. Black beef jerky is so good." Eat, I can’t get enough, right, sister?”

Princess Analetta was happily chewing on the black beef jerky and had no time to answer, so she just gave a perfunctory 'Uh-huh'.

"Look, my sister also agrees." Princess Analita took a sip of wine and continued: "Xiao Yi, you don't have to blame yourself. When my sister and I return to the palace when we have time, we must change the bad habit of the emperor. You can’t come over!”

After saying that, she took another long gulp.

I'm afraid this girl may have had too much to drink.

This was the only thought that came to my mind after hearing Princess Analita’s heroic words.

With Princess Analita's lead, the atmosphere in the hall instantly became more lively. Cagalli said: "You don't have to blame yourself too much for this matter. Since Her Majesty the Queen is willing to accept beef jerky, it means that she does not know how to do it." I care too much about this matter and accept your favor. Since the goal has been achieved, don’t think too much about it.”

Cagalli's words are not unreasonable. I think there were only two people, the Elf Queen and me, at that time. If the Queen really refused to accept it, she would have refused directly. But since she reluctantly accepted it, it means that although she resisted, she would always accept it. It's still acceptable.

Once you think about it, you will feel better and your appetite will naturally improve.

In one meal, I ate two boxes of Kuroge beef jerky. As a result, I couldn't sleep at night. I had no choice but to go for a walk in the yard.

Mr. Taylor often walks in the yard, especially at night. I do it because he is tired, but he simply doesn’t sleep enough.

We, an old man and a young man, were walking in the yard and chatting.

I told the old man the question I asked Cagalli on the way home. Taylor thought for a moment and said, "Let me tell you, making you a foreign elder is not because of the constant internal troubles in Moonlight City. I'm afraid it's just Anastasia's way of containing the royal family. and aristocratic means.”

"You mean containment?" I asked confused.

"Not long ago, the assassination of little girl Analetta did not prove that the power of the royal family and nobles was growing day by day, and it had reached a level that could threaten the imperial power. Under such circumstances, Anastasia would definitely not stand idly by, whether it was to protect her own Status, or protecting her pair of sisters, she has to find a way to balance the strength of the current royal family and aristocracy, and the best way to balance it is to bring a foreigner into the highest power circle." Taylor smiled faintly and said: "And you , is exactly the best candidate.”

"I see." I felt relieved: "No wonder Her Majesty the Queen entrusted me with this important task. It turns out that the main purpose is to balance the forces of several parties. It seems that I was accidentally used as a gunman."

"It's not true that you said you were used as a gun," Taylor said: "Since she made you an elder, she naturally hopes that you can stay here for a long time. If you can stay here for a lifetime, that is the result she wants most."

I smiled bitterly: "Old man, you'd better speak clearly, I don't understand what you mean."

"What I mean is very simple," Taylor said: "Anasta wants to use your name to strengthen Moonlight City."

"Lend me your name?" I spread my hands and said, "I'm not a great man or a star, so what kind of fame can I have?"

"You are the godson of Master Dewey of Fort Vicky. This alone is enough." Taylor said: "The fighting power of the dwarves and the wisdom of the goblins. Either of these two points is completely overwhelming for the elves, and even the goblins." I dare not say that you can surpass the current goblins in terms of science and technology. As the son of Dewey, both dwarves and goblins will naturally respond to you. With such a backing, isn’t it enough for you?”

I scratched my head and laughed.

"Anasta, this child is similar to her grandmother. Both her temperament and vision are too ordinary. She may have seen your value a long time ago, so she used various benefits and tried every means to keep you, even at the expense of the royal family. Analita is tired of being here. Otherwise, if you thought Analita was healed, why would you still not return to the palace?" At this point, Taylor shook his head and sighed: "Although your kid is much more mature than before, But after all, he is just a child, and his thinking is simple."

I grimaced and said, "Yes, you're right, I'm just immature."

After that, I sat cross-legged on the ground with a angry expression on my face.

Taylor chuckled and was about to speak when he suddenly suffocated. He stretched out his hand like lightning, faced the void and muttered a spell. In an instant, an invisible shield opened.
