Borlando was very efficient and it didn't take him long to convince the mayor of Sulugaya. On the afternoon of the next day, Angulo came to visit Millianna with two followers.
Millianna met Lord Angulo in the reception room of the villa. He was a man nearly fifty years old. Daily work had made his temples gray and he was a little hunched. Especially in front of a saint, he bent even lower, but this showed his respect even more.
Milliana was still wearing clothes that didn't even reveal her neck, sitting in the middle of the living room, watching Borlando lead the other three people into the house. However, the two people behind Angulo surprised her.
They were actually two elves. The male elf was wearing a wizard robe, and the female elf was wearing a swordsman's outfit. They both looked handsome and beautiful, forming a sharp contrast with Angulo in front.
Angulo bowed to her and said, "Greetings, Lady Miliana. It has been a while since you came to Sulugaya, and it has been a long time since we last met. I have a lot to say to you, Lady. Thank you for giving me this opportunity."
Miliana said, "Your Excellency Angulo's followers are actually two elves? It seems that you have a deep connection with the Elf Kingdom."
Angulo said: "These two are not my followers, but the worshippers I invited from the Elf Kingdom. Our family does have some connection with the Elf Kingdom, so for a certain price, the elves are willing to take care of my city-state."
Angulo pointed at the male wizard and said, "This is Wizard Dill, and this is Magic Swordsman Mana. They have both reached a high level. I asked them to come with me this time because the gift I prepared for Lady Miliana is related to the elves. They both have another identity, which is the supervisor of this treasure. Without their permission, even I am not qualified to use the treasure myself. The secret room where the treasure is stored can only be opened by people of elven blood."
Milliana listened to his mysterious words and leaned forward slightly, as if she was quite interested: "A gift for me? What kind of gift needs to be so grand? If it is a gift that is too expensive, as a person outside the secular world, it is not convenient for me to accept it."
"What gift can be considered precious in front of a saint like you? Although that gift is extremely rare, it is just right for you. It is a bottle of diluted juice from the world tree, a gift my family received from the Elf Kingdom a long time ago.
This item can heal a variety of injuries and restore a person's vitality. If I put it in my hands, it will attract covetous people. It is better to give it to a saint like Lady Millianna so that it can be put to good use."
Miliana pretended to be surprised and said, "It's such a rare treasure. Your sincerity is touching. Tell me, what do you want?"
"Please, Lady Milliana, protect my family. My family has always been supportive of the Temple of Nature. Now that the temple is under the control of a saint like you, we will naturally do our best to support you." Angulo took out a storage ring, gently pushed it with his fighting spirit, and it fell on the coffee table in front of Milliana.
Miliana picked up the ring, rubbed it in her hand for a while and said, "The elves have always been the followers of the God of Nature. The last time those seven towers rebelled and tried to kill the gods, the elves fought against them together with us. They are our oldest and most steadfast allies. Since you have the recognition of the elves, there will be no principled issues. Don't worry, as long as I am here, you can continue to be your city lord with peace of mind."
"Thank you for your recognition, Lady Millianna." Angulo glanced at the elf behind him, and the male elf took out a small bottle, one finger long, from the ring, which was filled with a light green liquid.
When the bottle appeared in the room, a strong breath of life flowed out of the bottle. Milliana had seen the World Tree thousands of years ago and had some vague impression of its breath. She felt that the breath in the bottle here was much stronger than the breath of life she had felt under the World Tree.
The elven wizard muttered something, and a green light emanated from his hand. He wrapped the small bottle in it and slowly walked to Miliana. He said, "This bottle of world tree juice is not pure original liquid, so it is particularly easy to dissipate slowly in the external environment. In Angulo's home, it has a special magic circle to maintain it, so it can be stored for so many years. But once it is taken out, if there is no restraint of the elven magic power, it will lose its effectiveness. My magic can probably maintain it for two days. If you want to use it, it's best to use it as soon as possible."
Millianna took the bottle from the elf. The magic cast by the elf wizard was still attached to the bottle. Although she was a warrior, she could still roughly feel that the magical power of the life force in the sealed bottle was slowly dissipating. Millianna opened the bottle and sniffed it gently. She felt a refreshing breath entering her body from the bottle mouth. Her heart, which was tortured by old injuries, felt very comfortable.
She had a clear feeling that if she drank the substance in the bottle, her condition would improve greatly.
Miliana closed the bottle cap and smiled, "This is indeed a good gift. I'll accept it. Go back home and stay at home. Don't go out too much recently."
"However, Lord Polidaro is pressing forward step by step..." Angulo said.
"It's okay. If he finds you, just tell him that you're helping me with something."
"I'm just afraid that those people won't listen to me. When I brought up the Elf Kingdom before, they didn't care at all." Angulo said with some embarrassment, "Lady Miliana, could you give me some evidence so I can show it to them?"
Borlando said, "Why don't you give him a crystal stone with a recording like you did to Agulto? If someone comes, he can use it as proof."
Millianna was in a good mood and agreed to the request, and gave Angulo a crystal stone as Borlando said.
Angulo thanked him profusely and left the room with the two elves.
Miliana looked at their departing backs and said, "Do you think he really submitted to me?"
"Sir, I know Angulo's background well. He has really lost a lot of money this time. It doesn't really matter how loyal he is. The key is that he hands over the resources to you obediently. That's all."
"You did a good job on this matter. Go on to work on Agulto's matter. I have some things I need to think about alone today, so there's no need to arrange for anyone to come."
