I stopped, turned around, and asked, "My letter?" ”

When the staff saw me stopping, they also slowed down, took a slight breath, and said, "Your letter was sent early in the morning." ”

"Good work," I said, handing over a silver coin as an errand tip.

In fact, the errand work of the staff of the adventurer base should have been a job within the division, but I don't know when it began, it gradually evolved into paid service, and it is not entirely correct to say that it is paid service, to be exact, that is, if you are willing to tip, it is paid service, and if you are unwilling, it is free service.

Although on the surface it seems that pro bono services are cheaper than paid services, in reality, there is a big difference.

In any case, the messenger is a person, as long as it is a person, there are seven emotions and six desires, there are selfish greed, whether it is a human race, an elf race, compared to a free service, more like paid service.

Since there is a difference, it is natural that the paid service is much superior to the unpaid service, both in terms of attitude and in the speed of delivering letters.

It was earlier than now, it was just after five o'clock, and the staff got up early to deliver the letter to me, and if I had never tipped, I guess he would have delayed the delivery of the letter until the evening, or at noon the next day.

Accepted the grateful smile of the staff, and at the same time sighed in my heart: the power of money is really great.

Unwrapping the envelope, I opened the letter as I walked towards the fish shop, reading it without worrying about hitting pedestrians, it was only five o'clock, and most of the elves were still exercising in their backyards.

There are a few lines on the letterhead, the handwriting is scribbled, but it can still be recognized: the second young master has woken up, is recuperating, during which he is recruiting adventurers, promising a lot of money, the purpose is unknown, personal speculation, most of it is related to the trip to the forest, in addition, the city lord is riddled with old diseases, is recuperating, but I am not optimistic, he is drunk all day long, his body has long been hollowed out, this illness, I am afraid that it can not be cured, once the city lord dies, I need to do it next, please instruct.

At the end of the letter, there was a symbol that only I could recognize, the mark I had agreed with Shan Yong before I left Eri City.

The lord of Ari City is sick......

I chuckled: I'm afraid that's one of the reasons why Ari City would suddenly send an envoy to Vicky Castle to talk about the union.

Carter Scott's philosophy is that the human race is dominant, he disdains to unite with other races, and his brother, the eldest young master of the Carter family, is heard to be a very cruel and ruthless person, warlike and irritable, ignoring the poor, this kind of person will not easily ally with other races, I am afraid that the character of the two has long been known by their father, in order to ensure the stability of the regime, will not be sidelined, their father, the current city lord of Eri City, began to hand out olive branches to the powerful country as a gesture of friendship, I guess he has probably thought that as long as he dies, No matter which son is in power, he will send troops to Dasai City, and the result of the battle is either victory or defeat, if he wins, it is better to say, the people support him, the morale is high, once defeated, the supreme power of Eri City is likely to be threatened by other nobles, at this time, it will need the support of powerful forces outside, that is, the Vechburg that they sent envoys to make friends with in vain.

It's just that Vicky Castle's attitude towards Eri City has reached the freezing point because of the previous incident, and if it wants to redeem it again, it can only be resolved little by little by relying on sincerity, and I'm afraid that the city lord of Eri City will not be able to wait for that day.

Judging from the situation on the letter, the condition of the city lord of Eri City is not optimistic, so it becomes very urgent to attract strong backups, since Vicky Castle is unwilling to cooperate, his next target is likely to find Moonlight City, which is second only to Castle Vicky.

Once an envoy from Ari City comes to meet the Elven Empress, will I, a foreign elder, also be called to observe?

After thinking about it for a while, I felt that it was just a fantasy, and it was useless, so I continued to buy white fish.

After breakfast, our group was about to go out, when we heard someone knock on the door, and when we opened the door, we saw that it was two elf guards, who saw me and said respectfully: "Elder An Xiaoyi, Your Majesty invites you to go." ”

I wondered, "Isn't the Empress accommodating, can I not go to the morning meeting?" ”

"It's not about the morning meeting," said the guard, "and please come with us." ”

I nodded, picked up my sword, and followed the two guards away.

The guard glanced at the knife on my back, as if he had something to say.

I said, "Do you two have any thoughts on my knife?" ”

"Yes, Elder An Xiaoyi," one of the guards said, "I'm surprised that you are carrying a weapon to the temple. ”

"Isn't it okay to carry a weapon?" I asked.

"Yes," said another guard, "our clan does not have such a rule, and Your Majesty has not stated that it is forbidden to carry weapons, we just feel that doing so will threaten Your Majesty's life, please forgive us for our unreasonable remarks, and please forgive us for blaspheming your loyalty to Your Majesty, but we still have to say it." ”

"It's okay" I waved my hand: "It's not unreasonable for you to worry, if the time to enter the palace is changed to the afternoon, I will definitely not enter the temple with a knife on my back, but it's morning, and after the empress meets the messenger, I have to rush to the dungeon to brush up monsters, hey, speaking of which, in addition to the identity of a foreign elder, I am also the president of the Fearless Guild, not only to share the worries of the Empress, but also to worry about the affairs of the guild at all times, so tired." ”

At this point, my eyelids drooped and I looked tired.

The two guards looked at each other, not knowing how to talk.

I was about to walk out of the shopping street when I suddenly stopped and said, "Wait a while, you two, I'll go to the weapon shop over there to get a weapon, and I'll be back soon." ”

With that, I ran to the weapon shop where I had asked to repair the straight sword.

When I entered the shop, the boss was sorting out his weapons, and the Naota knife that I had asked him to repair was quietly placed on the counter, so I said hello to him, paid the money, picked up the knife and walked out of the store quickly.

In a blink of an eye, there were more knives, and the eyelids of the two guards were shaking, I raised the straight knife in my hand, and said: "Hey, I'm ashamed to say it, I asked the owner of the store to repair this knife a long time ago, but I didn't get it back until today, but fortunately, the boss has a good heart, and confiscated my storage fee, otherwise I will have to admit it." ”

Along the way, I chattered with the two guards, not mainly because I wanted to chatter, but because I was too bored.

Entering the palace and entering the main hall, the Elven Empress was already sitting on the throne, and the six elders were separated on both sides, but there was no place for me.

Just when I was confused, I saw the empress beckoning to me: "Elder An Xiaoyi, I'm sorry for calling you suddenly, I originally wanted to prepare a seat for you, but I don't know which row to row to the left...... You'd better stand in a row with Emily. ”

Emily was standing on the left behind the Elven Empress, and when I saw this, I slowly walked to the right of the Elven Empress with a knife.

At this time, Elder Sonoda Wu suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I should stand on your right side, and let Elder An Xiaoyi sit in my place." ”
