"Are you leaving? Are you in such a hurry?" Alastriol reclined on a large armchair, gently rubbing his swollen temples.
Since the assassination incident last night, she has been accompanying the lords of the major city-states in the alliance to discuss in the conference room. This meeting didn't end until the afternoon of the next day. I just had something to eat and wanted to take a rest. Unexpectedly, Qin Lun came to say goodbye.
The assassination incident greatly stimulated the Lords of Silvermoon. Although the heated discussions in the meeting room have not yet touched on various specific aspects of the establishment of the Federation, such as military affairs, government affairs, taxation, production, etc., the establishment of a unified federal state has No lord raised any further objections.
In fact, all Silvermoon lords, including previous opponents, or neutral city-states, understood that the establishment of the Silvermoon Federation was unstoppable. They have been procrastinating, nothing more than wanting to win better conditions on Alustriel's side and win more benefits for their city and people.
However, this assassination woke them up like a loud slap in the face. Since the Zhentarim can make troubles in Silvermoon City without any scruples, and even dare to assassinate a chosen one like Alustriel, then they are nothing.
If it drags on, the Zhentarim might turn their ideas on their city-states next time, and use them to start a civil war with Silvermoon City. Regardless of whether the Zhentarim will succeed in the end, the gains outweigh the losses for the major city-states.
"Yes, Lord City Master, the crisis in Silvermoon City has been resolved, and we should take our leave and leave." Qin Lun said gently with a smile, but his tone was very firm, and it was obvious that it was not polite words.
Alaszhuo didn't reply right away, but looked at him suspiciously. In the view of City Lord Yinyue, Qin Lun's current behavior is somewhat abnormal. The silver-haired elves came to Silvermoon City to help the alliance, obviously not out of urgency, but with a specific purpose, hoping that the future Silvermoon Federation and Yaoyue Royal Court will form an alliance.
In fact, this point was also mentioned at the lord meeting last night. Although some lords objected to the alliance, thinking that helping the Ank Elf Court, which is currently expanding aggressively, would arouse hostility from the human countries in the central and southern parts of the mainland and adversely affect the Silver Moon Alliance, most lords will still make the final decision. Delivered to Alustriel.
And Elastra himself, regardless of public or private, has basically approved the alliance with the Anker Elf Court.
The Lord of Silvermoon thinks very clearly that the Silvermoon Alliance is located in the northern plains of the mainland, while the Yaoyue Royal Court, which will integrate the southern elf courts in the future, is located in the central south of the mainland, separated by several human kingdoms.
In the event of a war between the Anker Elf Court and the human kingdoms in the south-central region, such as the kingdoms of Calimshan, Tethyr, Shaar, and Jondas, the Silver Moon Alliance will not be able to help, because there are still several people in the middle class forces.
The reverse is also the same, if the Silvermoon Alliance is at war with Neverwinter, Waterdeep, and Zhentarim, the future Bright Moon Royal Court will not be able to help either. The significance of their union lies in strategic deterrence, a kind of moral support.
Of course, in many cases, the role played by this kind of support may not be worse than direct military support. It is always reassuring to have a strong ally on the same side, at least against diplomatic blackmail from an enemy, unless that enemy is determined to go to war regardless.
In this way, Qin Lun's behavior inevitably seemed a little weird. At least Elastra feels that he should stay. The alliance between the two countries is not a trivial matter. Many details need to be discussed. She can't be allowed to negotiate directly with the Elf King Tynquilas!
Immediately, Erastrio suddenly thought of something, his bright eyes flashed, and he asked with a chuckle: "Feral, you are not thinking of Lorraine, are you?"
"My lord is really wise, I can't hide anything from you, I really plan to leave with Prince Lorraine!" Qin Lun pretended to smile bitterly, bowed slightly, and apologized.
Erastriol lazily changed his posture, resting his chin on his wrist, his eyes flickering, looking at the silver-haired elf in front of him lost in thought.
The alliance between the two behemoths of the Silver Moon Federation and the Yaoyue Royal Court in the future is only at a relatively imaginary strategic level for the time being. However, if the moon elves can form an alliance with the shield dwarves and let King Tynquilas and the dwarf king Bruno Warhammer reach a certain agreement, relatively speaking, the practical significance is even greater.
Because there is a huge mountain range that stretches for thousands of miles in the north of Anker Elf Court - the Xuefeng Mountain Range, and the Xuefeng Dwarf where Lorraine is located is the ruler of this mountain range. Hundreds of thousands of Xuefeng dwarves lived in Xuefeng Castle, which almost dug through the entire Rift Peak.
If Bruno Warhammer agrees to form an alliance with the moon elves and obtain the combat power and resources of Snow Peak Fort, the future Bright Moon Royal Court will basically not have to worry about the invasion of the surrounding human kingdoms.
The cooperative relationship between the Shield Dwarves and the Silver Moon Alliance has lasted for a long time. The envoy sent by the Dwarf King this time was only to participate in the Silver Moon Festival. The help last night was temporary. Now that the celebration is over, Elastra is busy discussing with the city-state lords about the founding of the country. Of course, it is inconvenient for them to stay.
On the other hand, Qin Lun was secretly urging Lorraine to leave Silvermoon City and take him to the dwarven camp at the southern foot of the Spine of the World. After destroying the Zhentarim Society's conspiracy, Qin Lun and the others had little time left in the world of Toril.
If I can't receive other major plots, I will have to return in two or three days. Although I have gained a lot now, it would be too wasteful to put a walking plot clue like Lorraine without working hard.
"Since you've already made up your mind, I won't keep you anymore." Elastre came back to his senses and said with a smile, "However, as a friend, I want to remind you.
Bruenor the bull is a great friend, great adventurer and warrior, but an oddball king. If you want to win his friendship, then you must remember to be frank and sincere at all times, not a transaction that is closely related to interests. "
Erastriol's kindness was doomed to be useless, because Qin Lun himself had no intention of meeting the shield dwarf king, he was there for an epic mission, and he didn't really care about the future of the moon elves.
"Thank you for your reminder. Before I leave, there is one more thing I want to ask the Lord City Master." Qin Lun nodded with a smile, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to the chief guard next to him, and said after deliberation, "King Tynquilas ordered me to join the Sun Elf Mission, but something happened to me at Baldur's Gate, and I couldn't really reach Waterdeep City.
This letter is about my adventures behind Baldur's Gate, as well as related affairs in Silvermoon City. Please send someone to send it to the Ank Elven Court and hand it over to King Tynquilas . "
Eraszhuo took the letter from the head of the guard, with a smile in his eyes, nodded and replied: "Don't worry, I will definitely send someone to deliver the letter to the Anker Elf Court properly."
Seeing that Alaszhuo agreed to deliver the letter, Qin Lun glanced at the death list, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes. However, he quickly hid his emotions, and said with a smile, "Then... Lord Alustri, I will take my leave first!"
Qin Lun took out this letter, of course not because he wanted to have a good time with King Tynquilas, but because of the interactive plot "The Alliance of the Stars and the Moon".
Although Qin Lun had successfully completed his mission in this assassination incident. But his stay was running out, and he had to leave immediately because of the plot of Mithral Hall on Lorraine. In this way, there is one less middleman in the alliance between the Silver Moon Alliance and the Anker Elf Court.
Qin Lun's letter played a substitute role. If the Silver Moon Alliance finally decided to form an alliance with the Anker Elf Court, Alaszhuo would naturally send an envoy to discuss alliance matters by sending the letter. If the Silver Moon Alliance didn't have this intention, then it would simply help deliver the letter.
As for the Elven Court of Ank, with King Tynquilas' great talent, as long as he saw Qin Lun's letter, he would probably understand the meaning of the silver-haired elf immediately, and it would depend on the Elf King's own decision later.
Qin Lun was a little disappointed just now. He hoped that when Alaszhuo received the letter, he could give a verbal covenant promise, so that the second stage goal of the Star-Moon Alliance would be directly completed.
…
"Qin Lun, there is still no hint about the plot of the Alliance of the Stars and the Moon, what does Alaszhuo say?" As soon as Qin Lun returned to the room, Rand and Hill looked up.
"You guessed it right. As the lord of a country, Alaszhuo has a tight mouth and won't make promises easily." Qin Lun sighed and said helplessly.
The three of Qin Lun are currently tasked with two major plot missions, one is the Zhenta Forest Conspiracy, which is one of the branches of the epic plot——Silver Moon Alliance's nation-building mission.
After the assassination incident last night, this mission has all ended. The three of Qin Lun achieved a very high degree of completion. The only flaw was that the centaur lord could not be revived in the end and had already turned into a vegetable.
Although both are epic plots, "The Conspiracy of the Zhenta Forest" is only a branch after all, and the world exploration speed obtained by Qin Lun and the three is not as good as the previous epic plot - "Road to the Ancients".
Qin Lun's contribution rate was much higher than that of Rand and Hill because of his story identity as Feral Moonlight, accounting for about half of it, and gained 0.215% of the world exploration rate. However, because the difficulty of this task is difficult to calculate, the three of them have no basic rewards, and the world exploration rewards will only be settled when they return.
The other task of the three is an interactive plot that did not exist in history, called "The Alliance of the Stars and the Moon".
The mission objectives of the Alliance of the Stars and the Moon are divided into three stages. When Alaszhuo publicly disclosed Qin Lun's plot identity at the celebration and expressed his welcome, the first stage goal has been successfully completed.
But the goal of the third stage cannot be accomplished at all. It requires the Silver Moon Alliance and the Anker Elf Court to conclude a formal covenant. Qin Lun and others simply don't have the time to stay to witness this scene.
The only hope they have is that before their return, Alastriol has reached a verbal covenant with King Tynquilas, and there is a chance for further negotiations. In this case, the three of them will complete the second stage goal and get a large amount of world exploration.
Although this task is not an epic plot, the basic rewards are very rich. Every time a goal is achieved, the upper limit of life soul will be 20 points, and Qin Lun, who is the leader, has as much as 30 points of life soul limit, so naturally he has to strive for it.
In fact, part of the reason why Qin Lun wanted to take over Lorraine's epic plot was to extend his stay and wait for the progress of the alliance between the two countries.
