Chapter 2428: Asking for Forgiveness
When I got home, it was almost noon.
Lying on the sofa, Duke Sim's helpless and sad old face was clearly engraved in my mind.
At this moment, my mood can only be described in one sentence: fate is so wonderful.
With the help of Duke Sim, I can safely be my hands-off shopkeeper.
The next most important thing is to meet the Naga clan elders who are coming.
Since the destruction of ancient times and the advent of the era of goblin rule, the structure of the Zephyr Continent has been ruled by two races. On land, the goblin royal family is respected, while in the ocean, the Naga royal family is king.
At first, according to the fragmentary descriptions in the remaining historical documents, the goblin royal family and the Naga royal family were antagonistic, and the two parties had launched wars more than once in order to fight for supreme dominance.
The result is obvious. Human beings who are not good at water warfare were defeated by the Naga tribe in the water. The Naga tribe, who are also not good at land combat, also suffered a big loss in land combat.
This originally meaningless war lasted for a long time, until a wise and powerful monarch emerged from the goblin royal family, and the raging flames of war were extinguished.
The strategy adopted by the great goblin emperor was to be courteous first and then fight. That is, he had a face-to-face meeting with the king of the Naga tribe to exchange ideas with each other. After the communication was fruitless, he decisively returned to land to prepare for war. However, his way of preparing for war was different from other emperors. He directly Breaking into the ancestral temple, regardless of the sacrifices' obstruction, he took out ten artifacts of the goblin clan, and then summoned several brothers who were of the same lineage as him, and rushed to the seaside to awaken the power of the artifacts. In an instant, the sky collapsed, huge waves surged into the sky, undercurrents rose, and nearly 10,000 people were killed. The sea area within a square meter suffered a ruthless and devastating blow.
The Naga soldiers patrolling that sea area, as well as countless fresh seafood, were torn into pieces, and not even a whole body could be found.
The reefs and sea rocks under the sea were also crushed by the huge force and turned into countless rubbles, not to mention those submarine buildings that were far less solid than the sea rocks.
The Naga are not an unreasonable race, but there is a premise that they only reason with the strong.
When the Naga tribe learned that their elite army had been wiped out in a ranged magic attack by the Goblin Emperor, the King of the Naga tribe took the initiative to land on land, went to the Goblin Palace, and had another heated meeting with the Goblin Emperor.
This meeting was friendly, harmonious, and full of laughter.
Since the end of the talks, the two sides have not only reached reconciliation but also fostered friendship.
For hundreds of millions of years since then, the two races have supported each other, progressed together, and worked together to defeat disaster after disaster and overcome difficulty after difficulty, until the goblin royal family was overthrown.
I wonder if the elders of the Naga clan who came this time will still have the same warm and friendly attitude towards the goblin royal family as the Naga royal family in the past.
Of course, another possibility cannot be ruled out. The Naga people have once again returned to their former arrogance, and the alliance has completely failed.
In my wild thoughts, time flies by.
Early the next morning, Duke Sim, the Marion Patriarch and the Marion Patriarch's second son, and a group of three people, stood in a row in front of my tree house respectfully, with their heads lowered, as if they were being ordered by the head teacher to face the wall and meditate. A very unlucky child.
Pedestrians on the street were attracted by this scene. After a while, they formed a circle, looking at the three of them curiously, and whispering from time to time.
Duke Sim looked natural and guilty, like a green pine, standing straight on the spot, unmoved by the gazes of the onlookers and unannounced by their comments.
Chief Marion's face was pale and trembling. It was obvious that he was afraid, but it was obvious that he was not afraid of the crowd but the Duke of Moonlight City next to him.
The status of wives and concubines in Zefeng Continent is not much different from that on Azure Planet. The head wife can often determine the living standard and status of the concubines, especially those who have fallen out of favor, and they are inseparable from the control of the head wife.
Once a concubine falls out of favor, her family status will also be reduced, and she may even be reduced from a big noble to a minor noble. Even if she is stripped of her noble title and demoted to a commoner, it is not an exaggeration.
Phenomenons like the above are not uncommon. In the streets and alleys, there are often young and old men in bright clothes. They go in and out of medium-sized hotels every day. While eating and drinking, they will also express a few high-quality sighs. Such people , usually nobles who were demoted, and nearly half of them were because women in the family married into wealthy families as concubines, but unexpectedly fell out of favor, causing the family's status to plummet.
Unfortunately, the Marion family is also a member of this type of family. They relied on their eldest daughter to be favored, and became arrogant and domineering. Now they have caused a big disaster. God knows whether Duke Sim will be angry with his family because of this, causing the eldest daughter to fall out of favor. .
If he really fell out of favor because of this incident, I guess the Marion patriarch would beat the second son who caused the trouble to death on the spot.
As for Marion Dahle, the second son of the Marion patriarch, although he was beaten with bruises and bruises, he did not seem to have any regrets. Instead, he kept threatening the onlookers with his eyes and tried to scare them away with his fierce eyes.
It has to be said that the ferocious eyes are of some use. At least some rookie adventurers can't stand the threat and run away in a hurry, but this trick is of no use to the vast majority of veteran adventurers, let alone him, even Mali Patriarch En and the others didn't take it seriously. If it were Duke Sim, it would have some effect. Unfortunately, Duke Sim didn't have that leisure. He was concentrating on reflecting on his mistakes.
Lying by the window, looking at all this, I couldn't help but chuckle.
"What are you laughing at?" Cagalli said vaguely while taking a piece of bread and stuffing it into her mouth.
"Nothing." I shook my head, returned to my seat with a smile, and continued eating breakfast.
"Huh? Who are those three people standing at the door of the house?" Cagalli looked out the window and asked doubtfully.
"Could he be a beggar?" Lily opened her eyes blankly and said to me in a pleading tone: "Brother Xiaoyi, beggars are very pitiful. They don't have enough to eat every day. Me, Loki and I have also lived like that. Can I give them some money on these days? I have saved a lot of money so that they can have enough to eat every day without going hungry."
Lilea smiled and touched Lily's little head: "Little fool, there are no beggars in Moonlight City. Everyone can have enough to eat, so the person outside the door must not be a beggar. If you don't believe me, ask your brother Xiaoyi."
"Is that so?"
Lily gave me a curious look.
"Well, yes, the three people outside the door are not beggars, but they are here to plead guilty."
"Excuse me for bearing the thorns?" Cagalli frowned upon hearing this, lowered the curtains, walked back to the hall, sat down and continued to eat, while eating, she said: "Are they from the Marion family? Weren't they very arrogant yesterday? Are you suddenly trying to plead guilty?"
"This is not simple." Princess Analita covered her mouth and snickered: "Someone complained to grandma."
As she said this, she glanced at me intentionally or unintentionally.
"Oh~" Cagalli understood, picked up the cup, drank the milk in one gulp, and burped comfortably.
