Chapter 964: Elven Empress and Nobles
With a question mark on my face, I pointed to my nose and asked, "Something to do with me?" ”
Emily nodded and said, "To be exact, it has something to do with your goblin friend, but you are also involved." ”
I wondered, "What does that say?" ”
"The instructions from above say that he should kidnap a goblin and bring him back, and if he can't do it, bring in the Terran man who has a good relationship with the goblin."
"Please?" I wondered, "What is the place here?" ”
"I don't know," Emily said, "I'm just sure it's you who is the Terran man in the letter." ”
"Ah......h......h It's so troublesome. ”
Emily stared at me a little, and said, "Yes, it's troublesome. ”
"Don't worry about that for now," I said, leaning my chin to meet her, "I'm afraid the Empress has already given you an order to retrieve the blueprints, right?" ”
"Yes," Emily said, "she asked me to get the blueprints back as soon as possible." ”
"Is there a time limit?" I asked.
She shook her head: "No, Your Majesty, she doesn't have a time limit. ”
"That's fine, you can look for it slowly, carefully, and seriously, without worrying about being punished for passing the deadline."
"No, I'm not worried about the punishment" Emily looked at the still steaming food on the table, but her eyes and thoughts were not on it at all, she pursed her lips and said, "What I'm worried about is that Your Majesty unexpectedly didn't set a deadline this time." ”
I wondered, "Isn't that great?" ”
"It's not good, it's not good at all," she shook her head, "Your Majesty's indefinite deadline means that this task is extremely difficult and involves a wide range of issues." ”
"Huh? And what's going on? ”
Emily nodded and continued, "When it comes to the interests of nobles or higher classes, Your Majesty will always deliberately ignore the time limit. ”
"The Empress is deliberately protecting those nobles and royalty?"
"Your Majesty, she is not protecting the nobles and the royal family, but protecting Moonlight City and protecting all the people under its protection" Emily said: "You have also lived here for a while, and you should know that this place is actually the same as other places in Zephyr 6, the royal family and nobles hold part of the real power to balance Her Majesty, and Her Majesty the Empress also holds another part of the real power, which is used to balance the royal family and nobles, and the elves are constantly developing in such an environment." ”
After hearing this, I was silent for a while, and said, "In this way, the Empress's life is not easy." ”
Emily lowered her eyelids in acquiescence.
"The matter on the Empress's side is indeed quite tricky, but is there anything more important that you have overlooked at the moment~"
Emily looked up with confusion in her eyes and asked me, "What...... Thing? ”
"Eat," I said, pointing to the food in front of her that had become warm, "If you don't have enough to eat, where will you have the strength to think about it?" ”
"Oh," Emily replied softly, picked up her chopsticks again, and resumed eating.
This time, she didn't say a word more, just concentrated on eating.
She ate faster than usual, presumably she was hungry, I leaned on the table, watching her eat quickly and gracefully, and I always felt that this was the most amazing thing in the world - elegance could go hand in hand with degree!
After eating, Emily gently wiped the corners of her mouth while I put away all the food boxes on the table.
After packing up, I was going to leave directly, and Emily didn't hold back, just sent me to the door.
As soon as I walked out of the gate, I suddenly remembered something and turned around and asked her, "Can you continue tomorrow's competition?" ”
Emily pursed her lips, shook her head, and said, "The Empress's order is important, I'm afraid it can't." ”
"That's okay," I said with a smile, "It's just the right time to take this opportunity to go to the dungeon and brush the monsters, I haven't farmed monsters for too long, and my hands are almost rusty, hehe." ”
She let out an 'um' and prepared to close the door.
I suddenly approached the door again and said to her, "Oh, and don't forget to come to my house for dinner in the evening, everyone is waiting for you." ”
Emily was stunned for a moment, her eyes flashing with a faint light, and she answered softly.
Leaving Emily's house, I walked home with the food box in my hand, thinking about what Emily had just said.
Obviously, the Elven Empress must know something, but because she has her own concerns, she can't directly give Emily an order to arrest her, so she will not limit Emily's mission period after the mission is issued.
Part of her approach may be moderation, and part of it may be procrastination.
The Elven Empress is not a fool, and the loss of the blueprints is not a trivial matter, and I suspect that she is likely to take the opportunity to separate the nobles involved in stealing the blueprints from the many nobles, and only after the stripping is complete that it is convenient to find out who is manipulating all this.
Of course, these are just my conjectures and have nothing to do with the facts.
When I got home, Cagalli was sitting on the sand waiting, and when she saw me coming back, she rushed over, grabbed the food box, shook it, and said with satisfaction: "Well, it's all eaten." ”
After saying these words, she suddenly stared at me and asked, "Xiao Yi, could it be you who ate it, huh?!" ”
I said calmly: "I don't think so, I've already eaten so much, how can I eat so much again." ”
"Hmm~~" Cagalli was finally satisfied, she rushed into the kitchen with the food box in her arms, and brushed it with her own hands.
Lirea, who was lying on the sand, turned her head and asked me, "Xiao Yi, does Emily's sudden departure today have anything to do with our attack?" ”
"It doesn't matter," I said, "she left because something happened to the Elven Palace, and as for our attack...... I don't know why I was attacked. ”
"Something happened to the palace?" Emily wondered, "What's the matter?" ”
"Oh, it's the design that the goblin team drew for them before," I said lightly, "That picture, lost." ”
"Huh?!" Lirea's reaction was fierce, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and she sat up from the sand with a swish, her starry eyes flashing, "Did you catch the thief?" ”
"Definitely not," I said, "Dare to steal the blueprints in the palace, either to die, or to be a master of the arts, obviously, the thieves belong to the latter, not only stole the blueprints, but also quietly cleaned up the two guards guarding the blueprints." ”
"The guard guarding the blueprints is dead?" Lirea was surprised: "I've heard that the strength of those guards who guard important objects is generally around level ten!" ”
