Chapter 3396 Captive
At first, I was skeptical of Sosia's analysis.
But judging from the investigation results of Rennes boss, this is indeed the case.
The first contact that the messenger from Dashai City made was with the great nobles of Moonlight City.
But this group of great nobles knew their status very well and were not qualified to sit on an equal footing with the elders.
Therefore, they choose to refuse the temptation unfinished.
It's not that I don't want the wealth, but I'm really not sure if I will still have the Life Flower after collecting the wealth.
In a word, those who can climb to this position must not only have noble blood flowing through them, but also have a clear mind.
Then, the messenger turned his attention to the heads of the elders.
They first visited the Great Elder, but were turned away by the Great Elder. They were not even given a chance to meet, and even gave back all the wealth they had brought into the mansion.
Just kidding, she is the Grand Elder of Moonlight City, the second most powerful person below the two of them and above ten thousand people.
With so much power, it is impossible for her to be short of money, and naturally she will not destroy her career just to covet such a small amount of money.
Furthermore, she also rejects foreigners. If it weren't for the close relationship between me and the two majesties, she would not let go of her thoughts against me.
Even as an elder of a foreign race, I would be ostracized and targeted by her, let alone a few foreigners who were nothing.
After failing to visit the Great Elder, the envoy turned his target to Elder Jennifer. The result he encountered was the same as that of the Great Elder.
Not only was he rejected, but the wealth he had given him was also thrown away.
The unwilling envoy then headed towards Elder Mai Sonoda's residence. Finally, except for me, who didn't test me, they visited all the other elders' residences.
As expected, they were all rejected.
As the saying goes, no fool can stand in this position.
In the end, they had no choice but to contact me and try to brainwash me.
But their last plan also failed.
At this point, the mission of the messenger from Dashai City finally failed. No, it was not a complete failure. The next day, when we went to kill monsters, we were blocked again. This time, they were not looking for me, but for me. It's Cagalli.
Seeing that none of us took the bait, we had no choice but to mobilize the princess of Dashai City and ask her to come forward and plead with me to help Dashai City. Is that so?
When she heard the messenger's request for Cagalli to take a step to talk, Cagalli looked at me with a questioning look in her eyes.
I didn't refuse, but asked the ice and fire girl to go with Cagalli.
Although the messenger looked unhappy, how could a person not bow his head under the eaves?
In the end, he had no choice but to agree to my conditions, and walked toward the downtown area with Cagalli, who was protected by the ice-fire girl.
The main reason why I let the ice and fire girls accompany me is because the strength of these two girls has now reached level ten and they have successfully mastered the power of transformation. In addition, Kunna and Maggie are twins. Tongtong is a very rare twin magician, and adventurers with the twin profession have a characteristic, that is, once they fight, they can always exert the characteristics of one plus one to be greater than two.
It is no exaggeration to say that today's ice and fire girls, when combined, may not even be able to match ordinary thirteenth or fourth-level adventurers.
Coupled with the two girls' loyalty to Cagalli and their unique vigilance towards strangers, nothing will happen to them during this trip.
At dusk, when I got home, as I expected, Cagalli was sitting in the backyard, holding her chin in her hands, looking at Xiao Zhi eating meat and Selen gnawing bones in a daze.
The Binghuo girl was lying on the sofa, both of them doing nothing.
"What did that guy say to Cagalli today?"
I leaned closer and asked in a low voice.
"They are all annoying things," Maggie said displeasedly, "If the president hadn't stopped me, I would have burned that guy to ashes!"
"What's the trouble?" I asked again.
"It's all nonsense related to the national war!"
Maggie was a little impatient. She was not interested in the national war at all. She only cared about her own family president.
Seeing Maggie's impatient look, I had no choice but to move my gaze to Kunna's face.
Kunna took a breath and said coldly: "Ask the president."
This girl is so direct.
I don’t even think about why I asked them about the situation. Isn’t it because I’m worried that Cagalli will be angry.
When I came to the backyard and sat next to Cagalli, I asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
"I'm worried."
"What's bothering us Cagalli?"
"It's not a matter of national war." Cagalli frowned and said, "It actually cut off the livestock industry in Dashai City!"
"Who said that?" I asked curiously.
"Messenger" Cagalli said: "Not only did he say it, he also brought a letter related to it."
"Do you think it is credible?" I asked: "When your father, queen and mother were seized from power and placed under house arrest, they did not send you any news. At this time, they wrote a letter explaining to you the hardships of Dashai City. The facts , do you really think it’s as dangerous as the letter says?”
"Hmph," I snorted twice, and continued, "That may not necessarily be the case."
"You mean, the livestock economy in Dashai City has not collapsed?"
"It's far from collapse," I said. "Now the animal husbandry in Dashai City has only been affected, but you should also know that the animal husbandry in Dashai City is not just about grazing in the mountains and plains. A considerable part of it implements centralized management, which means that Livestock are raised intensively, and these people who raise them intensively will continue to maintain the animal husbandry economy of Dashai City during the national war."
“But what about the free-range farmers?”
"Please, Cagalli, you are not a child anymore" I said seriously: "And you can't help them. Even if you go back to Dasay City, you still can't help them, because your father, queen and queen are still in charge of... Everyone close to your family has been arrested and imprisoned. Now that you return to Dasai City, you will only be a little princess without soldiers and power. Your fate is almost certain to be at the mercy of others."
Cagalli frowned deeply, and I continued: "And I can't accompany you back. I can't even use my own power to accompany you. The reason is very simple. My identity is very sensitive. Not only is Moonlight City An elder, Master Dewey’s adopted son, and a witness to the equal existence relationship between the apostles and mankind.”
"What should I do?" Cagalli was so worried that she had no choice but to ask me for help.
"We have no choice but to continue living the life we should live."
"Those innocent people."
"I said, you can't help them, because you are no match for them. If you go there, you will only become the prisoner of the old Duke."
"Are you willing to be a prisoner?"
Cagalli's eyes flashed several times, and finally she sighed helplessly: "I don't want to."
