Chapter 2564 Colorful
Elder Priscilla is worthy of being the head of the elders, and her eyesight alone is unmatched by Elder Lindsay and others.
Let's put it this way, but judging from the observation of words and emotions, Elder Lindsay and others are still struggling in the golden rank, while Elder Priscilla is at least starting as a star.
This is the gap.
As soon as Elder Priscilla, who plays an important role in the elder team, spoke, Elder Lindsay and others immediately fell silent. Even Elder Mai Sonoda, who had always been uncooperative, also kept silent - she still hadn't quite figured it out yet, and she had been talking to Why did Priscilla, the great elder who refused to deal with the foreign elders, suddenly turn around and protect the foreign elders today?
As the saying goes: Everything happens for a reason.
Although Elder Mai Sonoda still doesn’t know where this ‘cause’ comes from, she doesn’t think it is a discovery of Elder Priscilla’s conscience.
It's like a crocodile suddenly smiling at you. Don't think it's a sign of friendliness. It could also be that the crocodile is hungry and wants a snack.
No matter what Elder Priscilla thought, her words still affected the judgment of some other elders.
Elder Jennifer, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised her head and said, "I second my proposal."
Three simple words, but they hit the hearts of other elders like a heavy hammer.
Everyone knows that Elder Jennifer is a loyal follower of the Fairy Queen. During the time when Her Majesty the Fairy Queen was missing, Elder Jennifer was almost silent in the court.
After Her Majesty the Fairy Queen returned to take charge of Moonlight City, she started normal government work again, and expressed some opinions from time to time. Ninety percent of the opinions she expressed were what Her Majesty the Fairy Queen wanted to say, but she couldn't. What was not said, the remaining 10% was her kindness in filling in the gaps in His Majesty's words.
In other words, Elder Jennifer's words represent exactly what Her Majesty the Fairy Queen is thinking.
So that means that Her Majesty the Fairy Queen also prefers other elders who have been in power for a long time to be responsible for security work, while elders from foreign races are excluded from security work?
Elder Lindsay, who had an ugly expression, gritted his teeth, his heart trembled, he took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have doubts."
"Speaking."
"I would like to know what kind of tasks the foreign elder will be assigned?"
The Fairy Queen held her chin and thought for a moment, then said: "Since the elder of the foreign race bears the name of a foreign race, let him welcome the foreign guests."
"Absolutely not, Your Majesty!"
Elder Lindsay, Elder Meila, and Elder Si Boling said in unison.
Before the Fairy Queen could say anything, Elder Priscilla also stood out of the queue, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I don't agree to allow elders from foreign races to welcome foreign guests."
The Fairy Queen was slightly surprised to see the four of them speaking at the same time, and then asked: "Elder Priscilla, tell me the reason for your objection."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Elder Priscilla thought for a few seconds and said, "I believe that the foreign elder is not only young, but also behaves frivolously, and his words and deeds are not in line with the most basic etiquette for receiving foreign guests in Moonlight City."
Then she changed the topic: "But if he can master the etiquette of the Moonlight City nobles in dealing with others in a short period of time, I would agree to give him this opportunity."
The Fairy Queen frowned slightly, thought about it for a while, nodded imperceptibly, and said, "What the Great Elder said makes sense. Xiaoyi, are you willing to learn the etiquette of dealing with others?"
Facing the Fairy Queen's inquiry, facing the Fairy Queen's expectations, and facing Elder Mai Sonoda's encouragement, I puffed up my chest, raised my chin, and said solemnly and firmly: "I don't want to!"
The elders were so shocked that their eyes bulged out, almost like fish eyes.
Elder Mai Sonoda's eyes twitched and collapsed: "No, don't want to?"
"Yes, I don't want to." I asked politely with an indifferent look on my face, "Excuse me, is there anything wrong?"
"I don't know why you still answered so confidently?" Elder Mai Sonoda was so excited that he couldn't control himself and blurted out.
"I just think there should be a sense of ceremony when answering questions."
I touched my nose innocently.
This meeting ended quickly.
Regardless of whether it was serious or just for show, every elder got a satisfactory answer.
Elder Priscilla is responsible for receiving foreign guests, Elder Mai Sonoda is responsible for allocating food and accommodation, Elder Meila is responsible for personnel records, Elder Silk Ling assists Elder Meila and verifies the identity of all outsiders, Elder Lindsay and Jennifer The elders are responsible for security work. Among them, Elder Lindsay is responsible for the security inside the arena, and Elder Jennifer is responsible for the security outside the arena.
And I, the great foreign elder, am responsible for serving as a melon-eater at the VIP table.
On the way back, Elder Mai Sonoda whispered to me: "Don't blame His Majesty for not giving you a position. The resistance is really great and can easily arouse the dissatisfaction of other elders. Furthermore, the people coming from Dashai City this time may still be orcs." His Majesty the King, as well as the old Duke’s men who are monitoring the Orc King, His Majesty is afraid that you will lose your composure and cause trouble first before the Zephyr Hegemony Tournament begins.”
"I can still distinguish between public and private affairs." After a moment of silence, I whispered back: "But please rest assured, I will not bear a grudge against Your Majesty. After all, one of them is my grandmother and the other is my fiancée. They are both on the palms and backs of my hands. Meat, I will never do anything that will hurt my relatives and make my enemies happy."
"It would be great if you understand this."
Elder Mai Sonoda patted my shoulder happily.
The opening time of the Zephyr Tournament is getting closer and closer, and the entire Moonlight City seems to be coming alive.
Countless adventurer guilds, large and small, started competing internally in batches, and then the competition between guilds. However, since this Zephyr Tournament is an individual battle, the battle between guilds also It's just a one-on-one duel type, and it's a competition between the same professions.
This selection method is the final result reached by me and several elders after intense normalization.
The main reason for requiring a duel with the same profession is to avoid the phenomenon of a profession being defeated.
For example, between a magician and an assassin, within a certain distance, a qualified assassin will not let the magician release the second magic, and often the first magic will be easily defeated.
In this way, it is very likely that excellent magicians will be eliminated by assassins, which will reduce the excitement of the Zephyr Competition.
The reason why these monarchs and nobles came back to watch the Zephyr Tournament was, on the one hand, to join in the fun and gain popularity, on the other hand, to see if they could attract some malleable talents, and on the other hand, just to watch the exciting competition, okay Make your boring life more colorful.
