Chapter 2361 Directed and Acted by Oneself
When the Elf Queen heard this, she suddenly looked gloomy and fell into uncontrollable disappointment.
"Hey, hey, don't be like this, okay, I feel bad looking at you."
I quickly stood up, pushed the Elf Queen into a chair, caressed her back, and comforted her: "Don't worry, the matter is far from irreversible. The reason why the Lord of the Forbidden Land refused is just because he is still here." I’m angry at Akahavi’s rude behavior, and once it subsides, it should be able to agree to treat Akahavi.”
"Really. Can it be done?" The Elf Queen raised her head, tears as clear as crystal, swirling in her eyes. At this moment, she looked much more feminine.
"How could I lie to you?" I pinched her cheek gently and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will always keep in touch with the owner of the forbidden land. Whenever it is in a good mood, I will talk to it like this. With just one mouthful, maybe when I get excited, it will happen."
The dignified look on the Elf Queen's pretty face finally faded a bit, replaced by a look of tiredness.
I ordered the maid to help her back to the palace to rest, and I strolled out of the palace and headed straight for home.
Before I had even left the palace five hundred meters, I was blocked by two guards. Before I could say anything, they spoke first and announced their home: "Sir Elder, on the order of Elder Sonoda Mai, I would like to ask you to come to the house to speak. "
"Elder Mai Sonoda? Does she have anything to do with me?"
"We were just ordered to report, and we don't know any inside information. We hope that the elder will forgive you."
I waved my hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I'm just asking casually. Don't be nervous."
As I said that, I straightened my sleeves, pulled up my clothes, put on a solemn expression, and said in a deep voice, "Lead the way."
Elder Sonoda Mai's residence, front yard.
Hundreds of flowers are blooming, competing for beauty, butterflies are dancing and bees are flying, and it is full of vitality.
The elder Sonoda Wu was dressed in plain clothes and stood on the bluestone road, stopping to look into the distance. Wherever he looked, he saw a sea of flowers that were brilliant and beautiful.
Beside her, Beibei also followed the same example, pretending to be a little adult. She only had a pair of small hands with ten green onion fingers, but she kept twisting and turning, exposing her happy heart of a little girl. Nothing left.
This scene made me laugh.
After waving my hands, the two waiters who sent me over bowed and left. I calmed down my emotions a little, regained my solemn expression, stepped onto the bluestone path, and said loudly: "The elder called me here, what are your orders?"
Elder Mai Sonoda still had his back to me, looking at the sea of flowers quietly, and said calmly: "I don't have any instructions. I just want to come with you to enjoy the flowers and have a chat."
Beside, Beibei secretly turned her head and stuck out her tongue at me.
I made a face at her too.
He walked up quickly and glanced at Elder Mai Sonoda. He didn't notice any anger, but there seemed to be a hint of worry between his eyebrows.
Well, it seems that she called me here today to express her sorrow to me, but I don’t know whether this sorrow is about the family or the country.
After standing side by side and admiring the scenery for a while, Elder Sonoda Mai slowly said: "Xiaoyi, what do you think of the current trend in the Japanese continent?"
"Yeah." After thinking for a moment, I said: "The surface is stable, but the undercurrent is surging, and clouds are rising in all directions. The chaos of the melee period will probably reappear in the near future."
"As expected of an elder from a foreign race, he is quite familiar with the external situation." Elder Sonoda Mai said lightly: "Airui City is still in decline on the surface, but in fact it is gradually becoming stable. York Han City is still a pile of iron on the surface, but internal strife is brewing. If we can It calmed down in time, but nothing happened. If someone takes the opportunity to steal power, it will probably be a catastrophe. Dashai City has also been stolen by the old Duke. Although he is indifferent now, the old Duke is not the kind of old guy who is content with the status quo. He must be secretly plotting to encroach on the power of the people of Dashai City step by step. Now, the contradiction between the reformists and the conservatives in Moonlight City is gradually rising. Maybe there will be a tense situation at some point. Hum, the entire continent may not be able to maintain its power. Qibao is probably the most stable place."
"Not necessarily." I shook my head: "Some time ago, Master Dewey tried to dive and was tampered with. The submarine was almost buried in the deep sea forever and became a snack for sea monsters."
"Hmph." Elder Sonoda Mai snorted and said: "Master Dewey is very resourceful. The Goblin King and the Dwarf King are also wise overlords of a generation. How can they be easily harmed by others? I heard about that accident. On the surface, it seems to be A powerful man secretly plotted to kill Master Dewey. In my opinion, that accident was most likely a play directed and performed by Master Dewey."
"How is that possible!" I couldn't believe it and blurted out: "Master Dewey was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat. Afterwards, he executed a group of dignitaries involved!"
"Did you see him sweating with your own eyes?" Elder Mai Sonoda turned to me and said calmly: "Have you investigated the net worth of those powerful people? Are you sure they must be involved in this matter?"
After a few questions, I was speechless.
"No, you don't have any of them." Elder Sonoda Mai shook his head and said, "Xiaoyi, you are too young. You blindly believe in many things without even asking for verification. This is not the behavior of a superior person."
My heart suddenly sank, and the thing that kept thinking in my mind was: Could I really be used by Master Dewey?
A bee passed by my ear, leaving a buzzing sound, which pulled me back from my thoughts. I took a deep breath. I looked a little ugly, but I didn't say anything.
Elder Mai Sonoda glanced at me and said, "You know your shortcomings, right?"
I nodded: "I understand."
"Now that I know, I might as well tell you the truth about the accident."
"What!" I was startled again: "You, you already know the truth?"
Elder Mai Sonoda chuckled and said, "Do you think that a high-profile old woman like me is just a noisy but useless embroidered pillow?"
I smiled awkwardly.
She's right, really. I have never taken Elder Mai Sonoda seriously. I always thought she was just a high-profile old woman who was called upon to be in danger. She was a target used to attract several other elders, just to help the Elf Queen win the unified moonlight. The chess pieces of the city's time.
Now it seems that I was wrong, very wrong.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will find clues. If Elder Mai Sonoda is really a loser, why can he move among the elders with ease and rarely hit a wall?
This ability is far beyond my reach.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, and even more embarrassed. I wanted to get into the cracks in the floor tiles.
Elder Sonoda Mai chuckled and said: "No one who can become an elder is simple, including you, so there is no need to blame yourself, let alone belittle yourself. What you lack is just experience, just practice more and practice more. "
