Chapter 4: The End of Each Other's Lives
The elf still shook his head.
Ye Qing couldn't understand it at all, if she was the other party, and she had the obvious strength of the other party, hearing such a sincere request for battle, even if she couldn't fight, she would definitely have to accept it, not to mention that the other party was obviously not in good shape.
Just like Ye Qing mentioned before, now is the best chance to win against Ao Xuehua.
But the elf didn't, there was no trace of confusion and hesitation in her blue eyes, she just looked at Ao Xuehua with a warlike face very calmly: "I don't want to." β
"Why?" Ao Xuehua asked rhetorically, in the endless years that followed, this rhetorical question became the most regrettable thing in her life, but now she has no such awareness.
"Because I can't fight." The elf said as a matter of course, "Also, I find that I like you very much, so I won't fight with anyone I like." β
Like you? Ye Qing almost laughed like covering her face, it is a fact that Ao Xuehua looks good, but what did this violent maniac do after you met her, she stabbed you with a sword when she met, and then found that after being deflated, she chased and slashed you with a sword to make you bleed, and then now she is chasing and fighting with you.
Does that make up all the ingredients for liking someone? Is it a friend by force?
Ao Xuehua didn't speak, because she could tell that the other party was serious.
So the next person to speak was Ye Qing: "What are you doing here?" β
The elf was so simply diverted from the subject: "Come as promised." β
"You said you came as promised." Ye Qing looked at the elf in front of him silently, and replied quietly: "As the representative of Ye Ye City, I hope to confirm that you are not hostile. β
"After all." Her Royal Highness the Princess paused dangerously: "Since the surrender of Emperor Yuantai, this city has not been directly attacked for more than a hundred years. β
The elf seemed to think for a moment, and spread his hands to the left and right, signaling that his hands were empty: "I have come with kindness. β
Ye Qing smiled: "You attacked us. β
Ye Qing chose to ignore Ao Xuehua's subsequent more brutal attack.
The elf shook his head: "I'm knocking." β
Ye Qing continued to smile: "In our human world, no one will knock on the door with a battering ram. β
The elf found a strange word, and she couldn't suppress her curiosity: "What is a battering ram?" β
Ye Qing smiled a little dumbly, but she was able to control her emotions better than her opponent: "A siege weapon, usually made of giant wood, used to attack city gates and weak city walls. β
The elf nodded, "Well, then we didn't use a battering ram." β
She stretched out her slender and slender right hand and clenched it into a fist: "We knock with our hands on the closed door, as you do with your etiquette. β
Ye Qing looked at each other: "Can your hands stretch out half of the lake?" β
The elf nodded, not at all guilty: "Yes." β
As she said this, she calmly stretched out her hand, as if plucking a fruit from the apple tree in front of her, and presented it to the owner in front of her.
Ye Qing didn't see the fruit, in her vision, this elf seemed to be performing some kind of mime, because there was nothing in her hands or in front of her, but the moment the elf put her hand down, another tall elf appeared in front of her, different from the petite and lovely of this elf, this new elf was taller than most people Ye Qing had ever seen, with some white blue hair, and his whole body seemed to grow thick leaves to wrap his body.
After the tall elf appeared, he performed a strange etiquette to Ao Xuehua and Ye Qing, but this etiquette Ye Qing had been taught by Ai Enlu - this was an apology etiquette to express offense.
But he didn't say a word.
Ye Qing raised his head in shock - they flew all the way, and all they could see was the untimely little tree of the elf himself, not to mention such a tall and eye-catching elf, not even a superfluous bird - so where did he come from? Ye Qing didn't even feel the fluctuation of magic.
But the elf's introduction followed: "He is the finger that knocks at your door." β
Ao Xuehua's reaction was much faster than Ye Qing's, and she looked at the sky cautiously: "What do you meanβthat ancient tree is composed of one of your clansmen?" β
The elf nodded, she picked up the non-existent fruit again, and then lightly put it back on the invisible tree, in front of Ye Qing, the tall elf with long hair floated lightly like a kite, and slowly became transparent until it disappeared into the empty canopy.
Ye Qing nodded approvingly, the hand that the other party showed was beyond the common sense of human beings, but fortunately, Ye Qing had seen too many things beyond common sense not long ago, so she remained silent: "I accept your kindness, but dare to ask the elf clan has not set foot on our land for tens of thousands of years, why did you come this time?" β
"Your narrative is not accurate." The elf shook his head, "It is true that our race has obeyed the promise not to set foot in this human land since the golden humans swam across, but the observation of you has continued. β
"Of course, this is not the point of my trip, since your king invaded our land not long ago and refused to leave, my father entrusted me to come and negotiate, and by the way, complete the agreement with the Moon Sage."
Ye Qing didn't have time to complain about the many slots in this elf's sentence.
What do you call our king? When did that guy become our king in the spring of the fourth year of Qingli? Moreover, he was not a king, but the emperor of the empire, Ye Qing clearly remembered that there were similar expressions about the emperor in the elven language, but the elf in front of him clearly used the concept of king.
How much do you know about the forms and polities of our continents? He also said that he had been observing us.
However, Ye Qing's answer was a little subtle: "This, the Moon Sage has fallen more than a hundred years ago, I'm sorry, you're late." β
I'm sorry I didn't have as long a lifespan as your elves.
The elf was unexpectedly not choked, originally according to Ye Qing's estimation, this group of pointy-eared creatures - especially this particularly small pointy-eared creature, what did she say just now, her father entrusted her? So she's the daughter of the elven patriarch? Although she looked so small, she was definitely several times older than herself, but it didn't prevent Ye Qing from crushing these old elves.
Others don't know enough about these elves, but Ye Qing still has enough knowledge, especially after learning that Qingli invaded the elf continent in the fourth spring.
However, the little elf replied calmly: "We also knew the news of the return of the Moon Sage to the Star Sea more than a hundred years ago, and the main body of our agreement with the Moon Sage was not an agreement with him alone, but an agreement between the elves and the city he established, Ye Ye City. β
Ye Qing delicately frowned at the slender ink eyebrows.
Although the elf hadn't said anything about the agreement, Ye Qing still instinctively felt troublesome.
The current world is chaotic enough, and Ye Qing really doesn't want another group of pedantic elves to muddy the waters.
"I'm sorry." Ye Qing waved his hand: "According to the laws of the Lanye Empire, the retroactive limit of all contracts is ninety-nine years, and those that exceed ninety-nine years will have no legal effect and will be deemed invalid." β
"If you are not satisfied with the laws of the Lanye Empire, you can also deign to borrow from the laws of the Ottoid Empire, and the contract is retroactive for fifty years, and it will not wait for the deadline."
"Of course, of course." Ye Qing has a senior lawyer's face for your sake: "If you don't mind, you can also follow the laws of the Sturt Empire that is invading you, because the Sturt Empire has a long history, so the contract retrospective period is one hundred and fifty years, so it may still be within the retroactive scope, but I'm sorry that the Sturt Empire has a law of war that confiscates all the property of the belligerents, so I think it is difficult for you who are in a state of war to sit down and talk." β
Ao Xuehua smiled dumbly.
However, just when these two negligent people thought that more was better than less, and wanted to send away the kite-flying elf in front of them, they were mercilessly slapped in the face by the other party.
The little elf looked at the two human girls in front of him calmly, and his blue eyes were calm: "I can't quite understand what you say." β
"But according to the customary law of our elves, the contract lasts until the end of each other's lives."
"Therefore, according to the agreement made three hundred and seventy-four years ago, the elven clan asked the successors of the Moon Sage to return the ownership of the Moon Notes."
