Chapter 728 A Man Who Cares About Reputation

Leaving the Elf Palace, I sighed and frowned.

Elder Lindsay's extraordinary performance confirmed part of the plan in Akahavi's letter - to control the Elf Queen.

Apparently, he did.

The situation is now developing in a not good direction.

When I got home, everyone surrounded me and asked questions. However, their questions were basically the same. They all wanted to know what the Elf Queen's purpose was in finding me.

I signaled everyone not to be too enthusiastic, squeezed back to the sofa, took the water glass handed by Barbara, and drank it in one gulp. After that, I cleared my throat and recounted everything I said and did in the room. All the details were explained.

After hearing this, Fenghuang and the others all looked evil, and unanimously denounced Elder Lindsay's behavior. However, Princess Analita looked worried and said: "Xiaoyi, is what you said true? My sister, she has been Are people under control?"

I nodded.

"What should I do? What should I do?" Princess Analita was in a mess. She kept rubbing her hands and walking back and forth like an ant on a hot pot.

"Don't worry, Analita. Before I left, Her Majesty the Queen asked about you. Since she still has extra time to care about you, it doesn't mean that the environment she is in is not in any danger. What do you think?"

"Is this true? Is this really true?" Princess Analita began to think wildly: "Isn't this a secret message from my sister? She wants to say that the environment she is in is very dangerous. In order to protect my sister, I Is that what you said?"

"You are thinking too much, Analita. You must know that except for those at home who know your true situation, everyone else still regards you as a mentally unsound girl. If the Queen is really in If she is in danger and cares about the life of your sister, she will definitely not mention anything related to you. This is the best evidence."

I paused and asked her, "Do you understand?"

Princess Analita shook her head: "I don't understand."

Sighing, I was a little helpless: "How come you, who are usually smart, have become stupid?"

"What do you mean by this?"

She tilted her head with a confused expression on her face.

I winked at Cagalli: "Explain it to me."

Cagalli covered her mouth and chuckled. Then she cleared her throat and said, "Let me explain to you what Xiaoyi didn't explain clearly."

I:

"Analita, let me ask you, if the throne of the elves is now in front of you, and your competitor for the throne is a person with a mind of less than six years old, will you take her seriously? ?”

Princess Analita pondered for a moment: "No."

"This is the key to what Xiaoyi just said," Cagalli said: "Now, whether it is the Elf Queen, the Elf Elders, or even those who control the Elf Queen behind the scenes, they all think that you are a woman with a mind of less than six years old. , do you think they will take you seriously?"

"No, it won't."

"Since they don't take you seriously, or it can be said that they have even forgotten your existence, do you think that if Her Majesty the Queen is in danger, she will still mention your name?" Cagalli smiled. He patted her shoulder, shook his head, and said, "Obviously not."

"So, in other words, my sister's life is not in danger yet, is that what you mean?"

Princess Analita looked at me, wanting to seek approval from me again.

"That's it."

I smiled and nodded in response.

After dinner, I sat in the yard and stared in a daze.

"Xiaoyi, this is not like you. A man who is not even afraid of death would sit in the yard in a daze with a distressed look on his face?"

The landlady said as she sat down next to me.

At this time, Jackson also came over mischievously, but was glanced at by the landlady and walked away angrily.

"It's not that I'm not afraid of death, it's just that when facing death, I prefer to face it head-on instead of cowering in a corner and shivering. That would be too ugly."

I sighed and continued: "Besides, whether you are distressed or not and whether you are afraid of death don't seem to have much to do with each other."

"Of course it does matter." She looked at me, with a trace of vicissitudes in her eyes: "Isn't the reason why people are distressed just because of fear? Death is the biggest distress for a person. If you are not even afraid of death, why bother? To worry about something that hasn’t happened yet?”

"Um, boss lady, what did I say that I'm not afraid of death?"

"Of course you didn't say it, but you did this," the boss's wife said, "Don't think that ordinary power can wipe out the tenth level of space so cleanly. You must have hidden some unknown terrifying power. It's just that you I don’t plan to make it public yet, but is there really no price for releasing such terrifying power? I don’t believe it.”

She shook her head and continued: "But I prefer to believe that when you released this power, you were already prepared to die. Therefore, you are not afraid of death, you just don't admit it."

Well, I really can't refute what she said.

Maybe the landlady is right, I'm not afraid of death, but that doesn't mean I don't have things to fear.

Lily and Lizzie were riding wildly around the garden, with Remy floating above them, watching and laughing.

Cagalli sat next to me, and while looking at Remi and the others who were laughing and playing, she said: "I have already informed her about the appointment. I heard that the assistance team will not arrive until later."

"You can just handle these things. There is no need to report everything to me."

Her head gently rested on my shoulder, and as she spoke, she exuded waves of fragrance: "Xiao Yi, the villages on the edge of Dashai City were plundered by a team of unknown adventurers again. Some people claim that these things are caused by the gangsters of Airui City. I’m a little worried about what the Adventurer’s Guild is doing.”

"worry about what?"

"war."

I sighed: "Don't worry, we won't start a war now. It's not yet time. At least, Airui City is not ready yet."

"How did you know?" she wondered.

"Do you still remember the information from last time?" I said: "The second young master of Airui City took Achilles to the northern forest. There is no information about their return now. Doesn't this also mean that they are not ready yet? "

"Is it possible that Achilles and the others have returned?" Cagalli said worriedly: "Through an unknown path."

"No." I shook my head: "Do you think a man who is known as the hero of Airui City would choose to take a small road back?"

Confronting her puzzled look, I explained: "Anyone who cares about reputation, especially men, disdains to take the narrow road, because they regard their own glory as more important than their lives."
