With the expansion of the City of Oracles, the Elder's House is obviously more magnificent than before. w WW(QuAnBen-XIaoShuo)c oMThe main building floor has been increased from two to three floors, and the courtyard has also been expanded a lot. The wide courtyard is decorated with towering trees and many lifelike statues. The conference room where Rogge often holds discussions with the elders has doubled in size, displaying many fine works of art from before the Thousand-Year War.
But now the atmosphere in the house is incompatible with the elegant environment.
"What's going on?! Who did the big grassland in front of the door and the rose branches on the outer wall? Where did the half of the city wall toward the lake go? What is the mist on the crown of the ancient elf tree? Is it? Newly developed large-scale war magic
But why can't I feel any magic fluctuation? "Roger banged the table hard, almost roaring!
Elf elders, you looked at me and I looked at you, but neither of them spoke. The atmosphere became very awkward for a while.
"What's wrong? Why aren't you talking? Didn't I send a message back when I left, asking you to strengthen the city defense at all costs? Why can't I see where the city defense is being strengthened? Also, that large-scale illusion magic research How's it going? Is there any result?" Rogge asked again.
This time there was still no answer. Rogge's anger calmed down a bit, and he found that the elders were not afraid, but helpless. Rogge found that something was wrong. He left his seat and began to pace around the room impatiently, waiting for the elders' answer.
Hughes stood up and said slowly: "Mr. Envoy, the situation is completely different now from when you left. The temple has begun to fully take over the powers that originally belonged to the Presbyterian Council. You know, in the tradition of the elves, , the status of the great elf temple that serves Hilo is supreme. Some of your previous orders were really inconsistent with the nature and traditions of the elves, such as massacring villages and prohibiting elves from designing their own armor and equipment. Soon after you left , Priest Zhaoye came forward to summon all the elves, announced restrictions on the power of the Elders Council, and abolished the ban that did not allow the elves to design their own equipment. Now, the City of Oracle has fully restored the traditional culture of the elves."
Rogge calmed down. He walked to the window and looked at the magnificent Elf Temple opposite and the elves men and women playing on the lawn.
"So what is the Presbyterian Council doing? Don't you have any objections? Is it true that the Presbyterian Council can't do anything about the temple?"
Hughes smiled bitterly. The status of the temple has always been above that of the Presbyterian Church. "
Several elders in the meeting hall looked at each other and went out silently. Only Hughes stayed, standing next to Rogge, looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window.
"Xius, the elves look happy?"
"Lord God Envoy, it is indeed true. I have to say that these decisions of the temple are very popular. Some elders have even turned to support the temple. You see, nature, warmth, sunshine, and carelessness, this is the real The elf."
Rogge was right to sneer, but Wuyouyou is definitely not comparable to the current Oracle City! Adventurers have begun to appear in Dresden. I think, Elder Hughes, you must understand the purpose of these adventurers coming here. These adventurers are like locusts, there will only be more and more of them! If I hadn't already taken over the military power of the Principality of Are, and used a trick to induce Grand Duke Tikrik to issue a decree allowing elves to legally reside before his death, do you think that only adventurers would come? What will appear in front of the Oracle City at that time will be the coalition forces of more than a dozen countries of the Holy Alliance! Zhaoye made the city of the oracle so conspicuous because he was really afraid that the adventurers wouldn't know where the elves' headquarters was! These big-hearted and brainless priests will not take the human army seriously. What about you, Elder Hughes? How many human armies do you think our more than ten thousand elves can resist? "
Hughes smiled and said: "Master God, your achievements in the Principality of Are really surprise me. I never thought that you could achieve such a status in the Principality in such a short period of time. You are indeed the best leader of the elves." A good candidate. But the habits of the elves for thousands of years are not easy to change, and none of them can see as far-term as you do. Although the Presbyterian Council has little power now, I still have some influence. You The 'Dark Side of the Moon' still only accepts orders from you alone. In addition, although the temple has taken over the weapon and armor workshop, the Dark Moon tribe has its own craftsmen. I will let these craftsmen return to Aregong with you This way, there will be no more incidents like 1,600 poisonous arrows. That’s all I can do.”
Rogge sighed and said to Elder Si, it is really not easy to be this divine envoy! "
Hughes smiled slightly. It is not easy for the Moon Clan to train guardian warriors! There are only six of the younger generation of elf women who have grown up to be guardian warriors, and they have all been handed over to you. "
Rogge chuckled and cursed secretly that this old fox was really good at bargaining.
Speaking of the guardian warriors, Rogge suddenly remembered one person and asked: "How is Rumsfeld's mission going? Is he back?"
Hughes' sharp eyes pierced into Rogge's heart: "He has come back. During this period, he was under great pressure and needed to talk to the priest from time to time in order to keep his soul intact. Lord God Envoy, this child is very talented. It will be very useful to you.”
Rogge stared back without giving in at all: "Elder Hughes, what I promise you is to bring a new future to the elves. I can only try my best to ensure the realization of this goal, and I can't take care of so many other things! What's more, you also know the stubbornness of elves and their persistence in feelings. In the face of feelings, it is not strange for an elf to do anything. I am not a person who likes to take risks, whether it is the future of the elves or my own safety. I don’t even like taking risks.”
Hughes shook his head, sighed, and stopped insisting.
After looking at the Great Elf Temple for a while, Rogge suddenly said coldly: "We must solve the temple problem, otherwise we will pay a high price."
Hughes shuddered, "Master God Envoy, the relationship between us and the temple has not been tense to this point yet? Let me try harder! The priests will respect the opinions of the elders."
Rogge nodded to make Zhaoye stick to his duties and not interfere with us. This is of course the best. But I really doubt that. But now that you say so, I'll wait a little longer. But Elder Hughes, our time is running out. We are really at a critical moment. Can you make up your mind to help me? "
Hughes gritted his teeth and finally said: "If it really comes to a critical moment, the Dark Moon Clan and I will definitely be on your side!"
"That's good." Rogge finally let go of his worries.
It's night.
A faint magical light illuminated the Oracle City. Looking from a distance, the entire city was lit up, like a fairyland on earth.
Rogge was extremely distressed by the magic power used for lighting, but he had to admit that this city was really the only beautiful city he had ever seen in his life. Even the Green Sea is a bit inferior.
The fat man took a walk in the city and then returned to the Temple of the God's Envoy. Rumsfeld was already waiting for him in his room.
After settling himself in the large chair, Roger asked: "Rumsfeld, you look much better! How did you complete the mission?"
Rumsfeld described the mission accomplished simply and succinctly. Even the fat man who wanted to find fault had to admire his seriousness and dedication. He also completed these tasks of searching terrain and detecting minerals seriously and meticulously, which were similar to a short-term exile.
There is a magic map on the large desk in front of Rogge. Rogge recited a spell, and several rays of light flashed on the magic map. The mountains and rivers began to grow, the trees began to appear, and the water light flashed in the small lakes. The Oracle City is only a few inches in size on the map, but three ancient elven trees can still be distinguished. The scenery and terrain of the two hundred kilometers around the Oracle City are displayed bit by bit. This magic map was a treasure passed down by the Dark Moon Clan for many years. Rogge knew how precious it was, so he found an excuse and took it for himself.
Rogge carefully adjusted the magic map. The three-dimensional scene displayed on the map slowly shrank, and large blanks began to appear around the Oracle City. Rumsfeld handed Roger a green crystal. Rogge gently stroked the green crystal, drawing out the magic contained in it bit by bit.
To the northeast of the Oracle City, a large mountainous area slowly appeared. The terrain is displayed very clearly, with almost no blind spots. On this newly added terrain, a dozen magic markers flashed with a faint light. There are ore marks representing various minerals, red marks representing dangerous areas, and sword marks representing military significance. What interested Rogge was a small red copper mine in this area. According to Faith, this extremely scarce mineral can only exist in cuprite. Enamel iron is an important raw material for making the best fire attack magic weapons. If it is made into armor, it can have high fire damage defense properties.
The fat man had to admit that Rumsfeld was a talent, and he couldn't bear it for a moment. Is it worth destroying such a talent for Feng Die
Roger raised his head and looked at Rumsfeld. Rumsfeld looked at him calmly, neither arrogant nor humble. What Rogge saw in the elf's eyes was fatigue, melancholy and a little despair. He smiled and was about to say something when he suddenly felt something was wrong. The fat man looked at the elf carefully again, and finally understood where this feeling came from.
Be firm.
Rumsfeld was very tired and melancholy, even a little desperate about his current situation, but he never wavered. Rogge didn't know what the elves' unwavering faith was, but whether it was love, good nature, or dedication to the entire elves, this meant Rogge's failure. All the difficulties and torture Rogge faced against this elf never destroyed or even shaken his will.
Rogge began to reassess Rumsfeld. There is no doubt that he is a genius among the elves. He has outstanding martial arts skills, is determined, remains calm in times of crisis, and handles matters in an orderly manner. But in Rogge's mind, the definition of talent only applies to those who can be used by him. Because of Fengdie's existence, Rumsfeld could no longer be loyal to him.
The more talented a person is, the more dangerous he is. This thought flashed through Rogge's mind.
"Rumsfeld, you have done a good job on these tasks! You have worked very hard during this period, so take a good rest! I will not give you a new task after ten days."
Rumsfeld was startled, almost not believing his ears. He knew more or less what the God Envoy was planning towards Feng Die. He also knew why he was the only one to do these almost difficult tasks. It was only out of consideration for the entire elves and the temple guardian's duty to obey orders that he fulfilled every order given by Rogge to the letter. However, he never told anyone about the difficulties involved.
When he massacred the orc village for the first time, the blood on his hands had exceeded the previous total. After that, he couldn't sleep for several nights. Whenever he closed his eyes, countless pairs of crystal clear eyes of orc children would appear in front of him, and their tiny screams before death would ring in his ears. Then he would get up, vomit uncontrollably, and then sit quietly until dawn, waiting for the next task of massacring the village that might come at any time.
How many nights like this have you had? He can't remember clearly...
Rogge's kind voice brought him back to reality: "I heard that you often go to the temple during this period? Are the rituals of the priests effective?"
Rumsfeld was shocked. The conflict between the envoy and the temple priest was now close to being open to the public. He carefully considered his words: "Master God Envoy, the tasks you assigned me are all tasks I have never done or even thought of. So I am under great pressure and even doubt whether I can complete the tasks assigned by you. With the enlightenment and blessings of the priests, I gained confidence again and completed several tasks you will give me later."
"Very good!" Rogge smiled and patted Rumsfeld on the shoulder. "You also know that I have some opinions about Zhaoye. But this time she did a good thing! I also know that you The pressure is great, but if the elves want to survive, everyone cannot live among the blue sea and blue sky. Only when we walk in the darkness can other elves live under the sun. Only our descendants will be able to live in peace in the future. Grow up carefree and no longer have to worry about war and killing. Do you understand?"
Rumsfeld felt a turmoil in his heart. The changes brought to the elves after Rogge's arrival are obvious. He still couldn't understand many of the ways of the Lord God Envoy, but he knew very well the terrifying combat power of the 'Dark Side of the Moon'. Although he was a martial arts and military genius in the Dark Moon tribe who specialized in the art of war, he never thought that in just a few months, Rogge would be able to defeat such a terrifying force. Maybe the Lord God Envoy is right. Only if some elves voluntarily walk in the darkness can other elves have a guaranteed future.
"God's envoy Sir Msfield actually doesn't know what to say.
"Okay, there's no need to say anything, I understand everything. Rest time is precious, just relax during these days!" The fat man's smile can always warm people's hearts.
Rumsfeld bowed, turned around and was about to go out, but Roger stopped him again: "By the way, when you go to the temple in the future, it's best to go at night, so as not to let other elves see you. As a Temple Guardian, it’s not good to let other elves know that you have moments of weakness in your heart!”
Rumsfeld admired the Lord God's thoughtfulness very much. He agreed and then left.
Watching Rumsfeld close the door gently, Roger smiled coldly.
"Whether you are the guardian of the temple or the priest, if you want to go against me, you can't do it without paying a price. I'm afraid the price is something you can't afford..."
The next day, Rogge went to the temple alone. He wanted to personally talk to the three priests about the future of the elves.
In the deepest prayer room of the temple, the divine envoy and the three priests started arduous and strange negotiations. The elf priests headed by Zhaoye made Rogge thoroughly see the elves' arrogance and stubbornness, and the fat man in the city was so angry that he flipped the table. Rogge, who was completely angered, also showed the priests what it means to be arrogant, rude and rude. The fat man began to threaten and extort nakedly, bargaining wherever possible, and one of the three sentences would include a cordial greeting to Zhaoye's sensitive parts.
The elf priests had never seen such a posture before. They were so angry that they were shaking all over, especially Zhao Ye, who almost fainted. She even wondered whether Rogge's true identity was the envoy of the orcs? God knows why the naturally elegant God of the Elf Tribe could be such a vulgar and vulgar person
Although the priests are supported by most elves, they are not willing to completely break with Rogge. Zhaoye did not doubt the authenticity of Rogge's identity as the divine envoy. In fact, she personally sensed Hilo's purest divine power in Rogge, and it was she who announced her recognition of Rogge's identity. Rogge also has a trump card in his hand, which is the miraculous power in him. If the temple and Rogge break up, and Rogge once again performs miracles, it will be a big problem how many elves are willing to follow the priests.
Rogge saw the fatal weaknesses of the priests and became more and more reckless. He simply stood up, stepped on the chair, and argued loudly with the three elf priests with overwhelming momentum. The fat man threatened that if the temple dared to completely oppose him, he would split the elves, then introduce the human army of the Holy Alliance, and turn around to level the Oracle City. At that time, even if the priests could escape with the elves, the ancient elf tree would not be able to escape. In this cold northern mountainous area, the elves would not survive long without the magical protection of the ancient elven trees.
The priests were stunned by Rogge's rogue appearance.
Seeing that he had the upper hand, the fat man was even more proud. He even declared that if the elves were to perish from now on, then you three priests would be the most direct sinners!
The priests were shocked and angry. It was obviously Rogge who said he would lead back the human army to destroy the elves, so why did they become the sinners? But Zhao Ye, the toughest one, is huddled in the corner of the room. She was so angry that she rushed up to argue with Rogge, but the scoundrel touched her breast! One of the other two priests had his face touched and the other's vagina was pinched. The priests are already physically weak, so how can they be a rogue opponent with a monster like Rogge? Now the three elf priests could only huddle together, hiding from Rogge's power in the corner of the room.
Most elves have a noble spirit of sacrifice. The fat man realizes more and more that as long as the life and future of the entire elves are traded, there is almost no disadvantage. But he didn't want to rush these priests, and everything should be done in moderation. In the end, the fat man only proposed that the temple should not be allowed to interfere with the command of the Dark Side of the Moon, and that the weapons, equipment workshop and alchemy laboratory must also be handed over to him.
The confused priests didn't expect the fat man's request to be so simple, so they hurriedly agreed to prevent Rogge from pushing further.
As soon as the priests nodded, Rogge immediately returned to his polite appearance. Zhaoye's eyes blurred as he saw that Rogge had sat back in the chair with a holy look on his face, and the overturned table had returned to its original state. At this moment, if any elves came in, the priests huddled together in the corner of the room would appear to have lost their bearings.
After Zhaoye saw Rogge's rogueness, he once again realized Fatty's genius in disguise. She knew in her heart that this was Rogge demonstrating to her. Even if she told her about the ugly scene just now, Rogge would never admit it. Moreover, the holy priests were actually touched by the angels. If this news spread, it would be an extremely heavy blow to the faith of the elves.
Zhaoye's heart grew colder and colder. Is there really no way to deal with this scoundrel? "Maybe assassination is the best way..." This thought flashed through her mind.
Zhao Ye was shocked and quickly confessed to Shi Luo: Why do you have such sinful thoughts? My Lord Shiloh, please forgive me for my uncleanness of faith... Oh my God! "
But she knew that even if she wanted to assassinate Rogge, how could it be easy for a great magician with the protection of the Lord God to succeed? What's more, the Dark Moon tribe, which is the most proficient in assassination, is in the hands of Rogge. Who can she find to assassinate Rogge
Roger stepped out of the prayer room with a cheerful expression. The status of this prayer room is sacred, and apart from sacrifices, only the envoy Rogge is eligible to enter. No other elves will be allowed to come near.
Because of this, no elves knew about the ugly scene in the prayer room.
Roger walked briskly to Hughes' home. He couldn't help but replay the wonderful scene just now in his mind. Zhaoye's breasts were big and elastic. If he hadn't grabbed them, he wouldn't have known they would be so wonderful. Zhaoye's shocked and stunned expression made every bone of the fat man feel lighter. After the fat man rubbed him hard a few times, Zhaoye screamed and ran away.
"Damn it, you have to use gangster tactics to deal with this gang!" Rogge thought viciously. He laughed a few times, opened the door directly and entered Elder Hughes' home without knocking.
"Lord God Envoy, it seems that you have made great gains in your negotiations with the temple!" Hughes said with a smile.
Rogge knew that the old fox was always well informed. He just nodded and gained. The workshop and alchemy laboratory are coming back, and I can return to the principality. You arrange the production of 50,000 poison arrows as soon as possible. Also, this poison is not strong enough! The production quantity is too small. You keep an eye on the magician in the alchemy room and ask him to improve it as soon as possible. Don't let him be lazy! "
Xiusi said: "This matter is easy to handle. Lord God, I have been thinking about the current situation during this time, and I feel that it is still full of crises! In my opinion, the key now is that you can fully control the power of the Alei Principality as soon as possible. You and Adele The sooner the marriage is held, the better. You know, elves have great value in the eyes of the human race. The more value, the greater the temptation. Although Carlos was brought to power by you, in the history of the human race, those in power The mentality on and off the stage is completely different. With all due respect, you may already be the target of Archduke Carlos's guard against you. After you marry Adele, you can calm his mind. In case of a card Los wants to deal with you, then we can arrange an accident. A female Grand Duke who is your wife is much easier to control than a male Grand Duke who is your brother-in-law."
Rogge thought for a moment and said slowly: "It makes sense. Marriage and blood ties are the most effective ways to consolidate power. I will hold a wedding when I get back! However, I don't know if Adele is easy to control. This woman's thoughts It’s cold and cruel, and sometimes I’m a little scared.”
Hughes smiled and said: "If it's not enough for the Grand Duke to be your wife, then it will be enough to be your son. According to the importance that humans attach to blood, your and Adele's children will have the blood of the Tikrik family. You can legally inherit the principality. And this child actually only needs to have Tikrik blood in name."
Rogge said gloomily: "This makes sense. You also know that I don't want the blood of Tikrik to exist in a few years. It is best for a child to have the blood of elves."
Xiusi twitched his beard and nodded with a smile: "Actually, Fengdie is a very good child. I believe that the result of her and you, sir, will definitely be a hero in the future."
Rogge looked at Hughes and said slowly: "Elder Hughes, you are really not simple! You have already planned all this, right?"
Hughes smiled and said: "Master God, the elves have no ambitions. What we want is just to allow the elves to live and develop peacefully in the kingdom of the human race. The elves will not be your enemies. I know, You must have your own goals and plans. The elves will be a great help to you. As long as you don’t treat the elves as pawns, but as friends who share weal and woe. The elves have always spared no effort to help their friends.”
Rogge smiled. With a wise man like you, the Eldar clan will rise again. It’s only a matter of time! "
Hughes shook his head and sighed: "The elves have no ambitions. Even if they did, they all disappeared in the war a thousand years ago. We don't need to rise. That's unrealistic. What the elves want now is to survive. As long as they can survive , I can pay any price." (Quanben Novel Website www.QuAnBen-XIaoShuo.com)
