Mingdarak was certainly happy to be affirmed by Qian Xialan, but
Mingdarak turned his gaze to Yang Yu and said:
"Don't bother with that, Your Majesty.
At the end of the letter it was written that they could be contacted through this gentleman to avoid wasting time.
As long as the negotiations are successful, the queen will personally lead the elves to surrender.
Unfortunately, although the Elf Queen was willing to provide support, she herself seemed to have chosen to stay in the Fallen Feather City.
She asked His Majesty to send a signalman to accompany her back to the Forest of Elves so that she can communicate with us."
"Do you need a signalman?" Qian Xialan was a little confused. "It's quite far from here to the Elf Forest."
Mingdarak said: "Your Majesty is also aware of the situation of our elves. We elves can hardly use magic. If we want to achieve real-time communication with the elves, we need highly qualified magicians as communicators.
Unfortunately, most of our highly qualified magicians are deployed in the battle, balancing the strength gap on the battlefield.
Even so, it was difficult to cover the battlefield, and many magicians worked diligently but were exhausted.
In recent years, Your Majesty has also seen that there is always a need for some ordinary messengers to deliver every piece of information on the battlefield back to the palace, and there is no luxury to have high-level magicians come to the palace as special liaisons. "
"Prime Minister, do you mean that we can only choose ordinary messengers to travel between the palace and the Elf Forest?" Qian Xialan hesitated.
"No, quite the opposite, Your Majesty. We must meet this request, even if we have to spare a few magicians.
With the support of a large number of elves, our wounded will be reduced at once, improving our ability to continue fighting.
This is in our favor given the absolute difference in troop strength.”
Mindarak argued convincingly,
“I grew up watching the Elf Queen, and I know her character best. For such a dangerous operation, she must accurately control the safety of every member of her tribe in order to feel at ease.
If you don't agree to this, even if you try to reach an agreement with her, she will most likely retreat at a critical moment in the war.
It is imperative to dispel the Elf Queen's concerns."
Qian Xialan nodded and said, "Then let's do as you say. We will select one or two talented magicians and have them withdraw from the front line."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to trouble yourself." Mindarak said, "The letter said that we can communicate with the Elf Queen through this gentleman.
If this gentleman is willing, there is no need to withdraw our troops from the arranged lines to avoid the dissatisfaction of the generals.
Mr. Potato Thorn, I wonder if you are willing to contribute to this country and take on this important responsibility. "
Yang Yu stepped forward and bowed, then smiled and refused: “Prime Minister Mingdarak, of course I want to contribute to this country, but I don’t think my talents can be wasted in areas I am not good at.
Because of the [Wood Transformation Syndrome] in my body, I cannot use magic power to communicate as I wish, and can only communicate at specific times.
Besides, my friendship with the Elf Queen is not as deep as the Prime Minister imagined. I only received the commission to deliver the letter after I met a few weird humans who wanted to attack the elves while seeking treatment.
For details, please see another letter from the Queen. "
Qian Xialan opened another letter, which was written in the same difficult-to-decipher Elvish language.
The above tells the story of Yang Yu's heroic deeds, except that the story of Yang Yu and Lothkar saving more than 200 elves was changed to saving more than 20 elves.
To express her gratitude, the Elf Queen personally treated Yang Yu, but said that she was helpless against Yang Yu's wood transformation disease. Hearing that Yang Yu had a heart to serve the country, she specially recommended Yang Yu to Mindarak, hoping that Mindarak could help Yang Yu and contribute to the country before Yang Yu completely turned into wood.
"I understand what you said above. I have heard a little about the wood transformation disease of the plant race. I remember that it is a disease that will make the plant race transition to a true plant. There are indeed symptoms of magic power obstruction at the beginning, and in the later stage, they will even lose the ability to move until their consciousness disappears."
Mingdarak closed the letter and suddenly looked at Yang Yu with a stern face.
"Hearing you put it that way, it does seem to be the case.
But how do you explain the human scent you carry around with you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, almost all the guards pointed their weapons at Yang Yu. If Yang Yu dared to act rashly, they would immediately turn Yang Yu into a hornet's nest.
Sure enough, in this country where orcs roam everywhere, it is difficult to convince others if you only change the appearance without changing the taste, and you will be exposed in an instant.
Yang Yu sighed heavily in his heart. He had become accustomed to this kind of situation where whatever he feared would come true. He was even a little numb to it.
Judging from the reactions of the Royal Guards, Mingdarak, and Qian Xialan, they had long known that Yang Yu had a human aura.
It should be the soldiers at the door who told the prime minister and the king of this country that they had the human scent.
However, as the saying goes, the devil is one foot high, and the Tao is ten feet higher.
The countermeasures that Yang Yu had prepared before finally came in handy.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, there is a deep reason behind this. First, please allow me to show you something."
Yang Yu carefully took out a badge from the system. It was the badge he got from the plant tribe.
“The Prime Minister is very knowledgeable and must recognize the thing in my hand. This is a badge that can only be obtained by winning the Plant Tribe Autumn Festival. It is the same every year.
Since Prime Minister Mindarak knows about the wood metamorphosis of the plant race, he must also know the authenticity of this badge. I am willing to give this badge to the Prime Minister for identification, and then slowly prove my innocence. "
Yang Yu spoke confidently, without any fear at all.
Mingdarak stared at Yang Yu and didn't know what to say for a moment, because he had no way to confirm 100% that Yang Yu was a human being.
During this long war, there were often cases where some orcs had too much human scent on them and were mistaken for humans.
Since there is no way to confirm 100% that Yang Yu is a human, then let's confirm the badge in his hand as he said.
During Mindarak's long life, he had indeed seen many times the badges awarded by the Plant Tribe to the winners of the Autumn Festival.
The Plant Tribe rarely leaves their Forest of Life and basically will not take the badge out of the village.
If the badge in Yang Yu's hand is real, what Yang Yu said will have a certain degree of credibility.
Mindarak didn't believe that after Elena healed his body and realized that he was a human, she would let him pass a message on her behalf.
"I do recognize the emblem of the plant tribe. Bring it up to me to see. If it is real, I am willing to vouch for you."
"Thank you, Prime Minister, for believing in me." Yang Yu smiled slightly and handed the badge to the guards. "Once the Prime Minister confirms the authenticity of my badge, I will tell him everything I've experienced."
