Chapter 1299 Things Are Changing
After the queen exchanged greetings with me, she turned to the city lord's wife who was already confused and said, "I haven't introduced you yet, but he is the head of the goblin assistance team in Fort Vicky in Darsay City, An Xiaoyi."
"Hello, Madam City Lord," I spoke first and greeted.
"Hello" she stammered.
"Judith, the name An Xiaoyi should be familiar to you," the queen said.
"Yes, no, not a stranger." Judith was stunned for a long time, then hurriedly saluted me and said, "I have met Mr. An Xiaoyi."
I nodded.
Then, the queen turned to me, smiled slightly, and said, "You probably didn't come here to see me or my husband."
I was a little embarrassed, but I had to nod: "Yes, I am actually here to visit the Lord of Balan City."
"Oh" the queen said calmly.
The city lord's wife on the side was frightened. This time, it was her turn to break out in a cold sweat.
"City Lord, he is in the back hall, talking to his husband. Do you want me to take you there?"
"Okay," I said with a smile, "Then it's up to you, Queen Lao."
A few dozen meters after we left the spot, I saw the guard sitting on the ground, gasping for air.
Along the way, the queen and I were talking and laughing, but the city lord's wife was ashen-faced, her steps were heavy, and her walking posture became weird.
When they came to the back hall, they saw two people sitting opposite each other. One was tall and domineering, and his sitting posture was quite domineering, while the other was much weaker and had a flattering smile on his face.
Before we could get closer, the tall and domineering man said: "Elizabeth, why did you come back so early?"
"I met a little guy on the road," the queen said, "Husband, you should blame him."
"Oh?" The tall and domineering man smiled and said, "Who made my beloved wife unhappy and stood up to show me?"
I was half afraid and half embarrassed. I walked out of the crowd and came to the tall and domineering man. I saluted and said, "Commoner An Xiaoyi, pay homage to the Beastman King."
The Beastman King suddenly burst into laughter, and he said: "No wonder my beloved wife is unhappy, even I am unhappy, what a commoner An Xiaoyi, if you are a commoner, are there anyone in Zephyr Continent who is not a commoner? !”
"Yes," I muttered in a low voice, "you are not a commoner, you are the 95th Supreme Being."
"Okay, you are the first one who dares to talk back to me secretly down there!" The Orc King laughed again.
Although the words were reproachful, he didn't seem to mind.
"Although you are very presumptuous, I forgive you," he said, "because you still have a conscience and take the initiative to visit me."
"Husband" the queen suddenly spoke up and said: "Xiao Yi didn't come to visit us specially. He asked to see the city lord first and came to visit us on the way."
With one sentence, the Lord of Balan City was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, got up from the ground in a panic, and sat back on the sofa.
"Oh?" The Beastman King had complicated eyes. He glanced at the Lord of Balan City, then glared at me and said, "Is this happening?"
"This." I was embarrassed for a second and then admitted: "Yes, the Queen is right. I didn't think carefully. I should have paid my respects to you and the Queen as soon as possible."
"Since you know it's not well thought out, why haven't you come to see us as soon as possible?"
Both the words and the words were meant to be reproachful, but judging by his tone, he didn't feel angry.
So I felt more at ease and said, "I'm not sorry."
"Oh?" The Orc King said happily: "What are you embarrassed about?"
"You are the Ninth Five Supreme Being, and I am just a mediocre, ahem, ordinary adventurer. My status is very different. How can I have the nerve to pay homage to you!"
"Son-in-law of Fort Vicky, elder of Moonlight City, these are noble enough positions, why don't you use them?"
"These are all professional titles from other cities. I am really just a civilian here."
"You gave your position as the head of the goblin assistance team in Fort Vicky in Darsay City to a dog?" The Orc King said hoarsely: "You have a status and power that no one else can ask for, but it's good for you that you don't take it seriously at all. "
After listening, I was speechless. He was right.
The scolding ended here. The Beastman King pointed at the Lord of Balan City and said, "Since you have something to do with him, you should talk about it first, and Elizabeth and I will avoid it for a while."
"No, there is no need to evade, there is no need to evade, my king!" The city lord stood up from the sofa and said nervously: "I have nothing to hide from you, not a thing!"
As he spoke, he turned to me, with a bit of anger in his eyes, but more of fear. He opened his mouth and said in a pleading tone: "Master An Xiaoyi, if you have anything to do, just tell me."
"Really don't need to avoid it?" I frowned and said, "I think it's better to avoid it."
At this moment, the Lord of Balan City was about to cry. He almost knelt down and begged me to speak directly.
I looked at the Beastman King, and he was also looking at me. He sighed and said, "Actually, this is a private matter."
"There is no private matter!" The city lord interrupted me and said: "There is no private matter at all. I am absolutely loyal to my king. In front of my king, anything can be made public. Just say it directly. As long as it is for My king, for the good of Dasai City, I will spare no effort to do anything!"
"Is that so?" I turned to the city lord and said, "Then what did I say?"
The city lord nodded repeatedly, like a chicken pecking at rice.
After receiving the permission from the city lord, I revealed the relationship between the lending organization and two of the nobles in front of the Beastman King and others.
I have simplified things about the lending organization, and I have only downplayed the relationship between the two nobles and the city lord.
After hearing this, the city lord broke into a cold sweat and said: "These two bastards pretend to be just and awe-inspiring on the surface, but secretly do such dirty things. They are really unforgivable. I am ordering them to be deprived of their noble titles. Never use it again!"
After drafting the warrant, he looked tired and said, "Mr. An Xiaoyi, is there anything else you need to do?"
"Gone."
"My place is still a little inconvenient for the time being, you see." He winked at me, wondering why.
"Then I'll take my leave first."
After that, he turned to the Beastman King and Queen and said: "My King and Queen, after this matter is finished, I will personally visit you two. Please forgive me."
"It doesn't matter," the orc king said, "You are doing it for my own good, so I won't blame you."
As he spoke, he looked at the queen.
The queen smiled and said: "Since my husband has forgiven you, I won't say anything more. However, you must remember to come to see us from time to time in the future."
"yes."
I quickly exited the city lord's palace and came to the gate. Two guards saw me and returned the gift to me intact, saying, "Please forgive us for being blind."
"Please accept the gift," I said, "I have always been like this. I never ask for a gift back when I give it away. Don't you want to force me to make an exception?"
"Here" the two guards looked at each other and accepted the gift with great gratitude.
