Chapter 2642 Watching the Fire From the Other Side
In the palace, in the main hall, on the throne.
The Fairy Queen sat contentedly with her chin in her hands, her eyes scanning the faces of every minister in the audience, and carefully appreciating the consistent or different expressions of each courtier.
Beside her, the Elf Queen sat tall and straight on the throne - she did not dare to be as casual as the Elf Queen.
But the same thing as the Fairy Queen is her sight.
She was also looking at the expressions of every courtier in the hall, but the one she looked at the most was me.
Perhaps beauty is in the eye of the beholder. After the Elf Queen looked at me for a few seconds, two groups of light red appeared on her cheeks, and her solemn expression became much more relaxed.
Fortunately, all the courtiers in the hall, except me, are of royal blood. They are not only familiar with the royal secrets, but also have a basic idea.
Everyone is well aware of the relationship between me and the Elf Queen, so no one accuses the Elf Queen of not being dignified and solemn in her eyes.
When the uproar among the courtiers subsided, the Fairy Queen gently stroked the moonlight scepter and said calmly: "Tell me, what do you think?"
As one of the courtiers, the elder Priscilla, who has the highest status, naturally would not stand behind others. After thinking for a moment, she stepped out of the queue, bowed her head and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, please play."
"allow."
"Yes." Elder Priscilla raised his head and said, "I have heard that the source of this matter is that the mining team in Dashai City rashly started construction before verifying whether the underground mineral deposits were safe, which led to the recurrence of the disaster. I believe that, Since this matter was all caused by Dashai City, Dashai City must bear all consequences and responsibilities!"
Elder Priscilla's tone was passionate, just like a debater attacking his opponent in a debate. It's a pity that this is a court, not a debate, and there are only colleagues, not other debaters, and the things we are discussing are not This is not the internal affairs of Moonlight City, but the foreign affairs. Before discussing whether to send troops for support, our voices were basically the same.
On the throne, the Fairy Queen listened to Elder Priscilla's impassioned speech with a very calm expression, as if watching a play.
But the Elf Queen was slightly infected, and her willow-leaf embroidered eyebrows trembled slightly, as if they were gently blown by the February spring breeze.
I can understand how the Elf Queen feels at this moment.
Although she is a queen, she is nothing more than a girl in her twenties.
Other girls in their twenties are nestling in the care of their lovers, seeking support.
But she couldn't do it. As the head of a clan and the emperor of a country, she had been told from a very young age that she had an extremely heavy burden on her shoulders. It was the burden of the rise and fall of a clan, or even a country.
Therefore, she always strives to be serious in speech, and always strives to be indifferent to emotions and anger. However, no matter how hard she tries, she is only a girl in her twenties.
Longing for freedom, longing for love, longing for care.
No matter how rational she is, the radiance of sensibility still surrounds her unstoppably.
Because of this, she was dominated by emotions at this moment and seemed so excited.
If it were normal times, when only the Fairy Queen, the Fairy Queen, and I were present, the Fairy Queen would definitely stop.
But today she didn't.
She just glanced at the Elf Queen faintly, the corners of her lips slightly curved in an imperceptible arc, and she shook her head in a very small way.
The emotion flowing from her eyes was not disappointment, but amusement, and a little emotional.
It was as if she felt the same way and recalled the past.
"I believe that if disaster comes across the sea and affects our people in Moonlight City, we must demand justice from Dashai City!"
Elder Priscilla took a deep breath and ended her speech.
"Fair enough." Elder Mai Sonoda sneered.
Elder Priscilla frowned slightly, looked at Elder Sonoda Mai, and said in a deep voice: "I wonder what Elder Mai Sonoda has different opinions on?"
"Only one thing." Elder Mai Sonoda wiped the remaining beads of sweat from his temples and said calmly: "If disaster can come across the sea, Dashai City will most likely have fallen. How are you going to get this justice?"
Elder Priscilla slowly closed her eyes and said in a deep voice, "I was just making an analogy."
A small episode was revealed like this.
Afterwards, several other elders, including myself, and other courtiers expressed their opinions.
Our views are roughly the same, and we all believe that the city of Dashai is to blame for this disaster.
But the question is, in the face of disaster, can we really watch the fire from the other side?
The answer is - not sure.
According to the wishes of Grand Elder Priscilla, Moonlight City will dispatch at most a few elite teams of the Rose Legion to support Dashai City. As for subsequent additions, it is absolutely impossible.
After all, even if there is no Dashai City, other rulers will carve up and rule that fertile land in the future.
Elder Mai Sonoda made fierce remarks after listening to Elder Priscilla's statement.
She believes that for Zephyr Continent, Dashai City is indeed dispensable, but for our Moonlight City, Dashai City is absolutely indispensable.
As soon as this statement came out, it was immediately questioned by many courtiers.
Faced with doubts, Elder Mai Sonoda calmly explained.
The general meaning is that if the city of Dasay is destroyed, a large piece of fertile land will become ownerless again, which is enough to arouse the greed and ambition of countless ambitious people.
Fighting, plundering and killing will be like weeds after the spring rain, showing their heads one after another, and they can't be cut down or killed.
There are many people fighting for the territory, but there are very few people who can actually divide the territory. This has led to the emergence of a phenomenon - guys who have not obtained the territory and are still ambitious will lead their armies. Attack other countries and continue to plunder territory.
No matter whether it is the city of Airey, the city of York or Han Dynasty, or the cities of Fort Vicky and Moonlight City far away from that continent, they cannot escape the disaster.
At that time, the legendary heroic period that finally showed some signs of harmony will be ended, and the world will once again fall into a period of melee.
One of the courtiers was dissatisfied with Elder Mai Sonoda's speech.
He thought, what if he was attacked? Moonlight City has formed an alliance with the dragon. With the help of the dragon, even a powerful group of national forces will be burned to ashes by the dragon's breath.
Many other courtiers thought that the courtier was right, and wished that disaster would engulf the city of Dashai as soon as possible.
But immediately, Elder Jennifer's salty words completely dampened their excitement.
"The dragons do not participate in any disputes related to humans," she said calmly: "The only thing they can do is help us eliminate disasters."
In the main hall, there was a moment of silence, and you could hear a needle drop.
