When the elven queen saw me, she only bowed slightly, and her mouth kept talking, still reading the story. (8) (1) Δ Chinese Δ Network 『.Δ81.

And her sister, like an ignorant child, leaned on her arms while quietly listening to the story.

I couldn't bear to interrupt this scene, so I went to the bookshelf lightly, found a random book, and read it carefully.

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, two hours passed.

In the library, not far from me, a slight snoring came into my ears, and at the same time, the voice of the Elven Empress also stopped abruptly.

I got up and poked my head out.

The Elven Empress was gently picking up her sister and walking slowly towards the outside of the library.

Her movements were very light, very light, as if the sleeping sister in her arms was the most precious but fragile treasure in the world.

After a few more moments, the Elven Empress came back, and I nodded at her, and she smiled at me, lifted the luxurious hem of her dress, and sat down beside me.

"Thank you for not waking her up."

"No," I shook my head and said, "I should be the one to thank you, seeing such a warm and heartwarming scene." ”

"She is my sister, intelligent, sensual, capable, this throne should have been sat by her, but she gave up and volunteered to be my guard, and ......" The Elven Empress sighed deeply: "I didn't protect her. ”

"It's the most vicious and ferocious monster in the world, it wants to kill me, it wants to kill our sisters," the elven queen recounted the nightmare experience in a flat tone: "My sister pushed me away, fought it desperately, and wanted to die together, but in the end, it only hit it hard, and she herself was seriously injured. ”

"The best doctor in the search, although it healed her trauma, but her brain, because of the great stimulation, fell into a deep sleep, after waking up again, most of her memories were sealed, and her IQ also degraded to the time of a six-year-old child" The Elven Empress's voice was very flat, as if telling an ordinary story in a book, but the corners of her eyes were filled with lingering sadness.

Even the superior can't completely cover up the fluctuations in his heart, especially this fluctuation, which is still an unforgettable wound.

"It's going to be fine," I reassured her, "it's just a sealed memory, not a broken one." ”

The Elven Empress smiled faintly: "Thank you." ”

After a little silence, the Elf Empress said again: "An Xiaoyi, you came here, are you looking for something for me?" ”

"This ......" I scratched my head, not knowing how to speak.

"Say it, it's okay," the Elven Empress said, "As long as it is related to my Moonlight City, I will help you as much as possible." ”

"Look at what you said, I'm embarrassed, hehehe."

I scratched my head, looking obscene.

The Elven Empress didn't speak, just smiled at me, as if she were looking at her brother's sister.

"Uh, hehe" I was a little embarrassed, but I still said what I thought: "I want to buy a tree house from you and open a café ......"

"Hmm" she nodded, "It's easy to say, Moonlight City is vast and sparsely populated, and there are spare tree houses to sell to you." ”

"I also want to buy another tree house for my guild people to live in......"

"Well, there aren't many people in your guild right now, so you can still fit into a tree house."

"I want to buy another tree house......

Hearing this, the Elven Empress rubbed the bridge of her nose and said, "You'd better finish what you want to say and the number of tree houses you want to buy in one go." ”

"Okay" I thought about it, and then I snapped my fingers and counted, and suddenly I thought of an important question, so I asked the Elven Empress: "By the way, I forgot to ask, Your Majesty, how much does your tree house cost?" ”

The Empress held out a finger.

"One, one gold coin?" I asked shamelessly.

The Elven Empress smiled and did not speak.

"Ten gold coins?" I added a zero after shamelessness.

The Empress remained smiling and silent.

"A hundred?" Seeing that the Empress still ignored me, I had to add another zero.

The corners of the Empress's eyes twitched slightly, but because it was very shallow and brief, I wondered if I was dazzled.

Seeing that she was still holding up a finger, I continued to guess, "Could it be...... One hundred and one gold coins? ”

This time I saw clearly that the twitch in the corner of the Elven Empress's eyes was real, and that, as I had just finished the last word, there seemed to be a cross on her forehead.

Huh? Did I say something that shouldn't have been said?

"That'...... What about a hundred and one gold coins and one silver coin? I asked tentatively.

Finally, the Elven Empress took a heavy breath, and her expression seemed to be suppressing some unknown impulse.

After a while, she said, "Ten thousand gold coins, one building." ”

"Huh?" I was shocked: "10,000 gold coins a building!" It's so expensive! ”

"Is it expensive?" She squinted at me, as if trying to find something on my face, and after a long time, she continued, "In Ari City, a house of the same size costs hundreds of thousands of gold coins to buy. ”

"Uh...... You are right," I suddenly pretended to be pitiful, and said, "But, if you look at me, I am a poor adventurer, unclothed, and uncovered ...... hat."

As I spoke, I tore the cuffs of my clothes and showed them to the Empress: "Even the weapons are picked up, and for my pitiful sake, can't you give me some money?" ”

The Elven Empress smiled, "Don't even think about it. ”

So, I had to choose another trick, showing a look of loss and pity on my face at the same time, just to be able to arouse the motherhood of the Elven Empress in an instant.

However......

"Do you want to provoke my motherhood with a pitiful expression, so as to achieve your end?" The Elven Empress's smile was the same as before: "Don't think about it, since you can have four fiancées, it means that you will definitely not be short of money to spend, and 10,000 gold coins for a tree house is already a very favorable price." ”

Seeing that the trick was discovered, I was very helpless, so I had to sigh a long way and said, "Okay, 10,000 gold coins is 10,000 gold coins, hey, who called this your territory." ”

Sighing and walking out of the palace, the two guards were still standing straight at the door.

I shook my hand at them, and they nodded at me lightly.

Back in the room, I asked Cagalli how much the guild had deposited.

Cagalli asked me warily, "What are you going to do?" ”

That look was like a scantily clad beauty questioning the idiot who followed her.

I scratched my head and said, "I just entered the palace and talked to the Elven Empress about the tree house. ”

"Oh" Cagalli relaxed: "What did she say?" ”

"She told me that 10,000 gold coins a building."

"Ten thousand gold coins?" Cagalli turned to Lirea and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Lirea said: "10,000 gold coins a tree house is indeed very cheap, you can buy it." ”

Cagalli thought for a moment and asked, "How much does it cost you elven clansmen to buy a tree house?" ”

"It doesn't cost anything," she said with a smile: "After all, you are a local resident and can enjoy free preferential treatment." ”

"Yo" I smiled: "Can I express my dissatisfaction?" This seems to be regional discrimination. ”
