Chapter 1561 The Queen’s Preferences

"Common people?" After hearing this, Master Hall was startled for a moment, then smiled bitterly.

After a while, he looked slightly bitter and said: "It was really a helpless move to settle in Airui City. At that time, except you and me, who else could control the overall situation. You have a special status, so naturally you can't leave Vicky Castle. In this way, , I can only sacrifice my personal ideals, put on a political face, and go to Airui City alone to take up my post. Even if I know that I have gone, I will be treated like a noble prisoner, but do I have a choice?"

Master Hall's words were very soft, but in Master Dewey's ears, they were as heavy as a mountain.

Taking a deep breath, Master Dewey put down his pen, patted Master Hall's back gently, and comforted: "It's all over, everything is over. I'm very happy that you can come back. Since you're back, why not try to give up slowly? The thoughts that have been shackles for many years have regained the feelings of the past. Let us work hand in hand to fulfill the wishes we made when we were young."

The touching speech made me feel very nauseous, but it was very effective. When I saw Master Hall’s eyes full of crow’s feet, a tear fell down, and finally got stuck in a fold somewhere.

The two old men finished expressing their feelings and continued copying and transcribing ancient texts.

I also continued to read ancient documents out of boredom.

Looking at the familiar symbols densely packed all over the paper, as well as the notes as thin as mosquito legs on the edge, I couldn't help but feel my head was as big as a bucket, and I thought to myself: Oh my god, it's really difficult for the ancestors who analyzed and translated these words. Not only did they have to face With such a large number of ghost symbols, in order not to affect future generations' viewing, we have to go to great lengths to find enough blank space to write down annotations without damaging the ghost symbols.

Allow me to kneel down in my heart to all our ancestors.

This is the first time I have read an academic-related book since time travel.

Even though I read it as quickly as possible, after a full six hours, I only read less than three pages.

Master Dewey glanced at the pages, smiled and shook his head, but still encouraged: "Well, you did a good job. I am not an academic. When I first read this book, it is not easy to read three pages in six hours." .”

Hearing this, I blushed and said, "Don't laugh at me. I'm not born with this material."

"Huh?" Master Dewey frowned and said in a deep voice: "Whether you are a piece of material or not is a matter of talent. Whether you want to see it or not is a matter of attitude. Even if you don't have talent, as long as you work harder, you can still become outstanding. A scholar, even if he has talent, is dissolute and has fun all the time, is still useless. I don't need to give an example of this."

Seeing Master Dewey's unkind expression, I knew that he must be angry because of what I just said, so he immediately explained: "Father, please don't be angry. What I said just now was just a joke that I made casually. It cannot be taken seriously."

After hearing what I said, Master Dewey's face softened slightly, but he still said seriously: "It's just a joke, but from now on, in this room, such jokes are not allowed anymore, do you hear me?"

I said with a guilty look on my face: "I know, kid."

Master Dewey nodded with satisfaction: "As long as you know, that's it for today."

I retracted my arm and shook it twice. Most of the soreness and numbness disappeared immediately, and I felt much better.

Just as he was about to help organize the books, Master Dewey said, "You should go back first."

Hearing this, I put down my book, turned around and left. Before I took two steps, I heard Master Dewey say: "Why did you leave before I finished speaking?"

"Ah?" I stopped, turned around, and said with an apology on my face, "I'm sorry, I thought my adoptive father had something important to do, so I left in a hurry so as not to disturb you."

"What can I do for you?" Master Dewey picked up the ancient document, sorted it out, stuffed it into a bookshelf on one side, and said, "There will be a banquet in the palace later. When you go back, bring the Elf Queen with you. , one is a welcome ceremony for her, and the other is to create a scene for me to meet her. By the way, you tell her that you don’t need to be strict about what you wear, and you can just behave like other juniors when they meet their elders. , don’t act like a queen with me, if she doesn’t know how, ask her to ask Phoenix how he usually sees me.”

Master Dewey's tone was indifferent, but his indifference vaguely revealed the domineering air of a dictator.

I smiled and nodded, quickly retreating.

Along the way, I was thinking about how to convey Master Dewey’s request to the Elf Queen.

It would definitely not work to use Master Dewey's tone and words. After all, he is an elder, or an elder with high authority, and his qualifications and status are there. No matter what you say, it cannot be exaggerated. But I am different. I am the equal of the Elf Queen. In terms of status, she is the queen and I am the elder, but there is only one difference.

If Remi is around, I can encourage her to say on my behalf that although the Elf Queen seems to be the same queen as the Fairy Queen and has the same status, in fact, the Fairy Queen's status is equal to that of her grandmother, the previous Elf Queen. , there is a gap in seniority, and Remi is the Fairy Queen’s only blood relative. Both in terms of status and seniority, they are equal to the Fairy Queen, so asking Remi to help is the best choice.

But on this trip, I didn’t take Remi with me, which was really a miscalculation.

I think of the day before I left, when Remi lay pitifully in Phoenix's arms, looking back at me, with that sad look in her eyes, like an abandoned woman waiting for her heartless person to turn around, and then I thought about all the hard work I had to do to prevent her from following me. various inducements.

Alas, it is really your own fault and you will not survive.

I stopped in front of the villa and lingered for a long time. I never thought of a safe way to express myself. When I was troubled, I heard a soft voice behind me: "Master An Xiaoyi, you are back."

I turned around and saw that it was the maid in my villa. She immediately smiled and nodded: "Yes, I'm back."

The maid looked at me doubtfully and asked tentatively: "Sir, have you lost something?"

"Ah? Oh no." I subconsciously scratched my head and said, "I haven't lost anything. I'm just strolling around, casually strolling around, looking at the white clouds and the sun."

The maid chuckled: This is below the ground, where can there be white clouds and sun?

I also touched my nose in embarrassment, knowing that I had said the wrong thing, so I laughed awkwardly and said, "You go to work first, I will go back soon."

After that, he quickly entered the villa.

As soon as they entered the villa, they saw the Elf Queen and Emily packing their things.

They are not helping me pack my things, but sorting out today's shopping results.

Glancing at the pockets full of coffee table and floor, I sweated profusely: It seems that today has been fruitful!

When the Elf Queen saw me coming back, she raised her head and greeted me with a smile.

I also nodded and said casually: "Your Majesty, you have gained a lot today."

I took a few steps closer and saw clearly what was in the pocket. I laughed and said, "The Queen really likes crystal pendants so much that she actually bought two full pockets."

The Elf Queen's cheeks were slightly red, and she said a little embarrassedly: "These crystal pendants look crystal clear and very cute. I can't help but love them. Don't worry, I will return all the money to you when I return to Moonlight City." "
