scepter

Ryan's arrogance angered Feizel and others - even if he is a nobleman, this attitude is very rude.

The priest still maintained a decent smile: "Unfortunately, Your Excellency Ryan, we are currently in the territory of the Garter Empire. If the elves learn about this, it may affect the relationship between the two countries. If you are not worried about the resulting The misunderstanding caused diplomatic disputes, and of course we are happy to continue to raise this elf until its clan finds it."

pretty!Fizer almost applauded the priest.

The elves are not a powerful race that dominates the continent, but it can exist to this day because it naturally has its unique abilities.Elves are good at long-distance attack, coupled with their natural affinity with nature, they are born with multi-line magic talents. Even if they are not as good as mages and priests, every adult elf is an out-and-out combat power. The fly in the ointment is that this race The ability to reproduce is low and the population is small. Even so, no country is willing to be hostile to such a difficult race.

Ryan froze for a moment, and his face sank instantly. "Are you threatening me?"

You know, even the best mages dare not ignore the powerful Garter Empire, and as an imperial noble and official, he is still a mid-level mage with a bright future. Even the well-known grand magister treated him kindly for the sake of his father.

This little boy in front of him actually dares to talk to him like that!

Ryan looked him up and down, raised his eyebrows and asked, "You don't look like a mage, are you a noble from which empire? The Charlemagne Empire? The Sarat Empire?"

Yannick said solemnly, "Oh no, let me introduce formally. I am a bard. Nice to meet you."

Everyone: "..."

Ryan believed it, and sneered and dragged his tone: "Oh—a bard? It's amazing!"

Then his face suddenly darkened: "I can now represent the empire to expel you from La Serena, and even if the elves want to ask for a crime, it has nothing to do with the empire!"

This man is so hard to talk to!

Now, not only Feizel and the others, but even Aphra, who is gentle and good-natured, is a little bit angrily.

The priest smiled: "Your Excellency Ryan, let me correct you. There is something wrong with your logic. If you drive us out of the city, if we are attacked and the elves die unfortunately, even if the elves want to hold us accountable, in the end it will be impossible You will be involved, after all, you drove us out of the city first. You should know how much the elves are a race that values ​​future generations. If you know that there is an elf here, and human beings will not save them, from then on , I'm afraid they will completely break with the Garter Empire?"

"Boom!" The elf baby spit out a bubble, and echoed with a confused face.He obviously didn't know what everyone was talking about, but he just stayed in the priest's arms obediently, without making any noise - when he was not hungry and when his favorite thing [Yanick] was not taken away, he was usually very good at negotiating of.

"And," the priest said gently, "we also have Earl Marin's beloved daughter, Miss Sophia, in our team. Earl Marin is still waiting for us to escort her daughter back to the imperial capital."

Ryan was turned blue and red by what he said, and the nobleman's temper broke out completely: "Miss Sophia, of course I will let her stay and send someone to escort her back! As for you, in view of your rudeness just now and the damage caused to those two mages The damage, the elves can stay, as for you, get out of here..."

"Ryan, why are you always so bad-tempered?" With the sound of Chris's voice, he eliminated the spell that had been hiding his appearance in front of everyone for the first time, revealing the handsome and charming face, but he was so embarrassed because of his lack of expression. A serious face. "You have been exiled from the imperial capital to La Serena, are you planning to go to the dark forest to help the empire expand its territory?"

Ryan's body froze completely, the expression on his face suddenly became dull, and his voice became stammered: "You, you...You, Your Excellency, why are you here!"

Seeing his appearance, he even wanted to come over to salute, but was stopped by Chris: "Stop doing these meaningless things, we want to see Tines, and help us arrange a place to stay."

"Yes, yes!" Ryan couldn't even say a word, turned around and left in a hurry.

This obviously condescending attitude surprised everyone. Even if Ryan didn't say anything, they guessed that Chris might be a nobleman with a high status, perhaps with a higher title than the city-state chief here, otherwise he would have been so arrogant and rude just now It is impossible for Ryan to change his attitude immediately.

In contrast, Yannick seemed much calmer, after all, he had already learned from Chris that he was a great nobleman.

With such a small episode, Tines quickly rushed over.

Chris is a person who pays attention to efficiency and is straightforward. This can be seen from his performance during the journey. He prevented Tines from opening his mouth to perform those cumbersome greetings, and directly put forward a few requests of his own: One, arrange accommodation, they want to rest.Two, contact the elves and tell them there is an elf cub here.Three, lend the magic teleportation array, they are going to the imperial capital.

"Of course, of course!" The chubby city-state chief wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I will comply with your request immediately, but I have a small request, can you please stay here for a few more days? I know, news of the Black Death is spreading everywhere now, and La Serena is close to the dark forest again, I am worried..."

"How many days?" Chris interrupted him directly.

Tines smiled apologetically, "Is it all right for a month?"

"It's too long." Chris said, "Five days."

"How about half a month?" The city-state governor was desperate to bargain, but Chris stared back at him coldly, so he could only say dejectedly: "...Okay, then five days, thank you very much!"

If you can't bargain, you still need flattery. Tines turned his small eyes, looked at Yannick and the others, and said with a smile, "Are these people your friends? I wonder if I have the honor to meet you?"

Chris pursed his lips impatiently.

The priest seemed to be aware of his emotions, and took the initiative to introduce: "I am Yannick Hill, you can call me by my name directly. I have something to ask you."

"It's such an elegant name, it really matches you very well!" The city-state chief praised enthusiastically. It seemed that he wanted to give a warm hug, but it was a pity that Chris' eyes stopped him, and his fat body trembled. , regrettably stopped.

"I heard that the team leader said that someone came out of the dark forest like us before, but was infected with the Black Death and died before entering the city?" Yannick asked.

"Oh, yes, but that's only half the truth. In order to avoid panic, we chose to conceal it, and even ordinary soldiers didn't know it." People, after entering the city, were also infected one after another, and now only one is still alive, but we are not sure whether he has been infected, so we have been locking him in the basement for isolation."

"Then why don't you ask the empire for help and ask him to send a priest. When I came here just now, I didn't see a priest?" Aphra interjected.

Tines said: "Yes, you must have heard the rumors. Before His Majesty the Emperor didn't want to be controlled by the Holy See, he sent a group of mages to station in the border cities of the empire. Who knew that this angered the Holy See. Some of the priests have withdrawn, but now that something has happened, His Majesty does not want to ask the Holy See for help, although the Holy See does not want to completely sever diplomatic relations with the Empire, it will not take the initiative to lend a helping hand, so it has been stalemate!"

Although this fat city lord looks flattering, he is actually quite capable, summarizing the complicated situation in a few words.

Chris asked: "How many people are infected with the Black Death in the empire now?"

Tinas said: "It should be very few. His Majesty ordered precautions very early on. His Excellency the Saint Anastasia also produced a large number of magic potions and distributed them to various cities in the empire. Although there is no cure for patients infected with the Black Death It is cured, but people who drink the potion seem to have a higher chance of avoiding infection, so now His Majesty asks Your Excellency Anastasisia to brew more magic potions so that they can be distributed to various cities. Speaking of which, the Garter Empire has already It’s very lucky! But because it’s too far away from the imperial capital, magic potions are not available to us for the time being!”

Chris nodded: "I will find time to brew a magic potion for you these few days, but the effect may not be as good as Her Excellency Anastasisia's."

Tines' face changed from pitiful to overjoyed in an instant: "Thank you so much! I knew how kind-hearted you are, how noble your character is, and how dedicated you are to your country..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chris had impatiently dragged the priest away.

After having a place to stay, Afra and D'Antonio went back to rest first, and Sofia was sent back first, with only Feizel following them.

Ever since he saw the attitude of Tines and Ryan towards Chris, he has been thinking about how to get closer to each other. Obviously, Chris is a very prestigious person, and maintaining a good relationship with him, It is obviously very helpful for my future.

"Are you looking for a place to eat? I have been to La Serena many times, and I know that there is a place where the food is delicious. If you don't mind, I can take you..."

Unexpectedly, he was interrupted by Chris before he finished speaking.

"I don't need to care about your little thoughts, but that doesn't mean you can calculate me at will." The black-clothed mage said coldly.

Fizer froze, forced a smile and said, "I don't understand what you're talking about?"

"When we were outside the city." The mage in black stared at him coldly, and the powerful aura oppressed Feizel almost to the point of difficulty breathing. "Yannick was standing next to you at the time. You knew that I would definitely make a move. Because of this, you purposely provoked those two mages."
