The Netherland Farm, which was originally home to only the undead, now seems very noisy.
It is the nature of many creatures to join in the fun, including humans and fairies. What's more, this kind of excitement is extremely rare.
A large group of goblins gathered together, filled with righteous indignation:
"Severe punishment! Must be severely punished! Such a vicious incident has never happened in our God's Chosen City."
"That's right! What about the guests? We are hospitable and are willing to work hard to make the guests feel at home, but the guests who bully us are not guests, but enemies!"
"Edward and Domran were almost killed by the elves. I saw them taking out bows, arrows and daggers with my own eyes."
"And the staff!"
"Yes! And the staff! It's murder, just like those damn wizards."
The actions of the elves seemed to trigger unbearable memories for the fairies.
They were extremely angry at this time and vowed to seek justice for Edward the deacon and Domran the vampire.
"Lord Lord! Please come this way."
Edward, who was leading the way for the seven pigeons, deliberately cleared his throat and made a loud sound.
When the goblins heard the noise, they turned around one after another.
When they saw Qige coming over, they all showed excited expressions:
"The lord is here!"
"The Lord will definitely seek justice for Edward and Domran!"
The goblins cheered and made way for the seven pigeons.
Qi Ge walked to the middle of the goblins and scanned around them.
He found that not only the goblins had come over, but also the cavemen, flower demons and other local races in the God's Chosen City, as well as the sea elves and sea boars who had just moved to the golden sea.
Now, things become more troublesome.
After the return of the Immortal Wood, all the sea people, harpies, mire boars, sea boars and elves who originally lived in the Immortal Wood joined the God's Chosen City.
But after all, the elves were comrades who had fought against Chaos with them, and they had deep feelings for them.
How Qige handles the elves will not only affect the views of the old people, but also the new ones.
No matter which way the balance is tilted, the other side will be dissatisfied.
In other words, because Qige was not at the scene at the first moment, the incident escalated.
This incident turned from a simple attack into a factional struggle.
It can be clearly seen from the expressions of the residents at the scene.
Most of the expressions on the faces of the goblins and other old leaders were anger, dissatisfaction and expectation that Qi Ge could stand up for them.
As for the sea people and sea boars, they are basically worried, nervous and uneasy.
To them, it didn't matter why the elves attacked Edward and Domran. What mattered was the fact that the elves carried out the attack.
The safest way to deal with this matter is to drag it out.
Suppress the handling of the incident first, let the incident cool down, and use time to exchange for the emotional calm of the subjects.
Then the big thing was reduced to a trivial matter, and the matter was gradually left alone and dealt with secretly.
The advantage of doing this is that it will not arouse stronger oppositional emotions. At the same time, if Qi Ge wants to be more lenient or be more strict, it will be easier to do.
But the disadvantage of doing so is that it will inadvertently damage the credibility of Qige himself, and even the leadership of the entire God's Chosen City.
The citizens may not be able to notice it in a short period of time, because they all have their own jobs and do not have time to focus all their attention on this matter.
But once such things accumulate, irreversible doubts and denials will appear. No matter how much work you do, or how many nice words you say, it can't be undone.
The situation that God's Chosen City has finally created, where everyone is united in governance and everyone is harmonious, will fall apart.
Qi Ge felt that he could not set this precedent from his own perspective.
So, he stood up and said loudly to all the people:
"Everyone, I am your lord Qi Ge.
Some of you here are familiar with me, and some are not that familiar with me.
But I hope everyone can believe that I will definitely give you a relatively fair result in this incident.
The elves are our guests and our comrades who have fought against Chaos with us.
I believe they will not attack our territorial citizens without any reason.
They attacked Edward and Domran. They must have their motives and reasons, and there may even be a misunderstanding.
I will sort everything out clearly and then carefully consider how to deal with it. I will never act arbitrarily or allow anyone to act arbitrarily.
I will question the elves later, but I will not allow you to express strong hostility or unconditional laissez-faire towards the elves before the matter is clear.
One is one, two is two.
Punish what should be punished, punish what should be punished, and let go of what should be punished.
I promise that all citizens can openly see my handling process, and the entire process will be exposed to the sun.
After I finish processing, I will send someone to collect your opinions.
If there are too many people who have objections to my handling, I will also collect and organize the opinions and reconsider the handling plan.
I may not change my decision based on individual voices.
But I can guarantee that in my territory, every citizen has the right to put forward opinions, and no voice will be ignored.
This is also the tradition that our God’s Chosen City should maintain, where everyone is equal and everyone is united.”
"good!!"
Edward clapped violently next to Qi Ge, and the old citizens who had lived in God's Chosen City for a long time also cheered.
The sea people and sea boars looked at each other, and they both felt very strange as to why the fairies, who were still aggrieved just now, suddenly lost their anger after Qi Ge came and said a few words.
Although they didn't understand the reason, they could all sense that Qi Ge had extremely terrifying personal prestige in the City of God's Choice.
After calming down the people, Qige immediately rushed to the scene of the incident.
Behind Qi Ge, the originally chaotic citizens formed a neat formation like an army and followed Qi Ge.
Arriving at the scene, Qi Ge immediately saw the elves being imprisoned by a group of [Cage Monsters].
Fei Rui was looking seriously, looking at the elves majestically.
It was clear that the elves were locked up by the troops of the hell force, but the elves' hateful eyes were always fixed on Domran who was standing aside.
"Pherry, what on earth is going on?"
Qi Ge walked up behind Fei Rui and shouted.
Fei Rui turned around and saw Qi Ge, and the airs he had been trying to maintain suddenly relaxed.
"Wow! You're finally here, so I'll leave this place to you.
Really, even if I go out to get something to eat, I will encounter this kind of trouble, which will delay my research on the ballista."
Seeing Fei Rui, he was about to put away his heroic soul troops. Qi Ge quickly said:
"Don't worry, you haven't told me what happened here yet?"
"Ah, it's nothing."
Ferry said:
"I was picking up pumpkins over there, and suddenly I heard angry shouts. As soon as I turned around, I saw these elves picking up Edward and pressing him on the stone.
Then Domran rushed over and told them to let go.
Immediately afterwards, some elves took out bows and arrows to shoot at Domran, some elves took out short swords, and some elves took out staffs, as if they wanted to kill Domran.
When I saw that this was not going to work, I took action and captured all the elves."
Qi Ge frowned.
This process is basically no different from what Edward said. Edward even deliberately downplayed the aggressive behavior of the elves.
Qi Ge can probably understand what Edward is thinking.
Edward knew that the elf was his guest and did not want to embarrass him.
Qige then asked:
"Did you hear clearly what the elves were shouting?"
"I heard this quite clearly, cough!"
Fei Rui coughed, imitated the elf, pretended to be carrying something, and shouted loudly:
"You have deceived us. You are actually the lackeys of the undead! Say! You haven't arrested our other compatriots yet?"
"Captain! It's a vampire!"
"Damn, this is a trap.
Prepare for battle! Kill without mercy!"
"For the Elf Empire~~~"
Ferry made a few exaggerated movements and performed them vividly, then coughed and said:
"Ahem, that's probably it."
Qi Ge:……
Qige took a look at the reactions of the elves and found that they all had no objections to Fei Rui's description.
With the straightforward nature of the elves, if there was any untruth in Fei Rui's description, they would have jumped out to refute it long ago, and they would not be able to bear it now.
In other words, from a factual point of view, Edward and Domran did not do anything offensive at all, it was just the elves going crazy.
"How crazy are you?"
Qi Ge’s head hurts.
He walked up to the elf with a straight face.
Not only were the elves not afraid, they stared at Qi Ge with vicious eyes.
From the look in their eyes, Qige could tell that if it weren't for them being trapped, they might even attack themselves.
Qi Ge asked in a deep voice:
"During the time I came back from the Immortal Wood, I asked myself that our God's Chosen City did not do any malicious behavior towards you.
Why are you openly attacking my people?"
"Bah! Traitor!"
The older wood elf who had communicated with Qi Ge before looked at Qi Ge angrily, seeming to be even angrier than Qi Ge:
"We trust you so much in vain, but you have become the lackey of the undead!
Have you forgotten the unforgettable hatred and the countless innocent and tragic deaths of our compatriots?"
Seven pigeons:???
Qi Ge was confused when he heard this. He frowned and then asked:
"I don't understand what you are saying at all.
What does the hatred and tragic death in your mouth have to do with my subjects?
My subjects have never harmed any elf."
"As long as they are undead, they should die!"
Another elf said immediately:
"They are despicable pretenders, the source of evil, more worthy of death than Chaos.
If you associate with the undead, you are committing suicide."
Qi Ge frowned and hit the ground hard with the Scepter of Quietness in his hand. With a bang, he made a big hole in the ground.
He raised the Still Scepter and said seriously:
"I'm warning you, whatever hatred you have towards the undead is your business and has nothing to do with the people in my territory.
Your hatred of the undead is not a reason or excuse for you to attack my people.
This is not the Elf Empire, and I am not affiliated with your Elf Empire. Don’t kidnap me with your values.
You are not worthy.
Now, I am asking you very seriously why you attacked my people.
If you still have this attitude of refusing to communicate and criticizing others, then don’t ask me to deal with you seriously.”
The elder elf's blood surged and he roared at the seven pigeons:
"Bah! Don't be hypocritical. Even if you kill me, we will not accept the judgment of the undead.
Do you think we are afraid of you?
The empire will remember your sins, my compatriots will avenge me, and the army of our empire will tear you guys into pieces for colluding with the undead!"
“The Empire, the Empire, the Empire is so annoying.
Your arrogance makes me extremely disgusted.
How many times do I have to say it before you can remember that the Elf Empire has perished long ago!
Even if the Elf Empire is not destroyed, I will not allow you to harm my people.
Don’t want to say yes?
Then let me reflect on it first."
Qige put away the Scepter of Silence and said to the caveman behind him:
"Come here, put them in a cell and hold them for a week to prepare for the God's Chosen City Judgment Conference."
"yes."
A group of strong cavemen immediately came over and picked up the entire [Cage Monster].
The elves obviously had their defenses broken. There were no curse words in their language, and they could only curse Qi Ge constantly as being as black-hearted as the undead.
This time, the ending is even worse.
Qi Ge rubbed his eyebrows and said to the goblin beside him:
"Go ask Elena and ask her to come to the castle to find me."
"Yes, Lord Lord!"
At this moment, Domran and Edward came to Qi Ge and whispered:
"Lord, there is actually no need to go to such trouble."
"Yes, sir, it doesn't matter if we feel a little wronged. Look, aren't we also hurt?"
"Maybe it's just a misunderstanding."
"Yes, yes."
Qi Ge felt warm in his heart. He knew that Edward and Dom Lang sang harmoniously just to relieve himself a little bit of pressure.
He laughed and said to the two of them:
"Don't worry, this matter won't trouble me.
You are not at fault in this matter at all, and I will not let you suffer this grievance in vain."
…
…
After hearing the whole story about the elf incident from Qi Ge, Elena frowned and sighed:
"well.
The Elf Empire is the pride of the Elf clan.
The elves in the past were so powerful and glorious that even the weakest elves would puff up their chests proudly when talking about the greatness of the elven empire.
Even in Aveli now, there are still many elves who are immersed in their original glory and unwilling to wake up.
As for those elves, they actually only left the Elf Empire for sixty-three years.
How could they forget the arrogance that the powerful Elf Empire brought to them?"
Qi Ge tapped his forehead and said:
"The trouble now is not their attitude.
Why don't you just scold me once or twice, it won't hurt your muscles and bones, I don't care about that.
The trouble is, what to do with them.
Also, Elena, do you know why they show so much hatred for the undead in God’s Chosen City?
I know that the elves in Avili hate the undead, but they are definitely not as indiscriminate as they are."
Elena bit her lip and said:
"Actually, I don't know very well, but it probably has something to do with the demise of the Elf Empire.
When I was a child, I once heard from my tribe that the undead once caused a natural disaster of the undead in the elven subcontinent, and countless elves died at the hands of the undead natural disaster."
“Countless elves have died at the hands of undead natural disasters?
Could it be said that the extinction of the elven subcontinent was due to the invasion of the undead?"
Qi Ge was a little surprised.
"But I remember it was recorded in the history books of the Yasha world that the elf empire's demise was due to the third chaos invasion."
Elena nodded and said:
"Yes, my mother also told me that the Elf Empire fell due to the third invasion of Chaos.
But it is also true that undead natural disasters broke out in the Elven Subcontinent, and some older tribesmen still remember how the undead killed people in the Elven Subcontinent."
Qi Ge touched his chin and said:
"I understand, maybe those elves have tribesmen or compatriots who died in the undead natural disasters, so they are particularly sensitive to the undead?
Then do you elders of the Silver Elf clan hate the undead as much as they do?"
Elena shook her head and said with a complicated expression:
"That's what's weird about me.
I clearly remember that none of the tribesmen who told me about the outbreak of the undead natural disasters ever mentioned wanting revenge against the undead, nor did they show any deep hatred for the undead.
This is very abnormal.
Qi Ge, you should know that we elves must repay kindness, but we must fight to the death to repay hatred.
There is no problem even saying that we elves are the most vengeful race in the world of Yasha.
Maybe you can't understand it, but from the perspective of us elves, if a natural disaster of the undead really broke out in the Elf Empire and caused heavy casualties, the behavior of those elves would be normal.
But the behavior of my people is abnormal."

Qi Ge:……
Actually triggered two demigod-level tasks in succession!
"It's quite a mystery."
Qi Ge rubbed his forehead and said:
"After the matters in the City of God's Choice are settled, can I go back to your place with Elena?
I want to meet your tribe, and I also want to meet Grandpa Huanteng, who helps us connect the bridge."
"sure."
Elena looked at Qige, smiled, and said:
"But you'd better take Yinhe with you.
Even though I am the heir of our clan, my status in the clan is far inferior to yours.
If there is no Milky Way to open the way, I'm afraid you won't be able to get in."
"Is it so realistic?"
Qi Ge smiled bitterly.
"That's the reality. Until the Elf Empire fell, you are the only one who has established an alliance with us."
Elena pointed at herself and said:
"If I hadn't awakened the same bad luck constitution as my mother, maybe I wouldn't even have the chance to travel in the world of Yasha, and naturally I wouldn't be able to meet Teacher Widdis."
Speaking of this, Elena laughed again:
"Misfortune and luck always go hand in hand.
It’s also because of my bad luck that I was able to meet you.”
Qi Ge touched Elena's hair and said softly:
"Yes, this is your misfortune, and it is also my luck."
"oops."
Elena held Qi Ge's hand and asked:
"Then have you decided what to do with those elves?"
Qi Ge shook his head and said:
"I haven't thought about it yet. Let's postpone it for a week."
"If it doesn't work, I can use some clever methods.
For example, expel those elves from the country and permanently prohibit them from approaching the Chosen City.
For the local residents, being deported is an unimaginably heavy punishment, and they basically have no objections.
But those elves didn’t want to stay with me in the first place, so this punishment isn’t too heavy for them.”
Elena has a strange expression:
"Is this okay? Qi Ge, you are too bad."
Qi Ge knocked on the table, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he said softly:
"You haven't seen the worst part about me yet."
Elena shyly knocked the seven pigeons and said:
"Hate it, haven't I seen it several times in the Sea of Chaos?"
"Ahem, it's not that place."
Seven pigeons are embarrassing.
He took Elena's hand and asked:
"Elena, I want to cheat Avili, do you have any objections?"
"Won't."
Elena answered very decisively:
"Avili is mainly an elf from the golden elf lineage, and we, the silver elf, are not on the same side.
You can cheat as much as you want, but if you cause problems, I can still find a way to help you repair the relationship."
"That's good."
Qi Ge nodded on the table and stared into the distance:
"The most valuable thing about these elves is actually their intelligence value.
They contain many clues about the Elf Empire.
But with the current situation, they definitely won't cooperate with me.
Since I can’t pry their mouths open, I will pry Jenny and Marodia’s mouths open.”
Elena:???
Elena touched her lips, her expression was quite strange.
"Say it again, whose mouth are you trying to pry?!
Qige, our silver elves are monogamous!
I don’t care about other races, but you can only have me as your silver elf wife.”
"It's not about prying that mouth."
Qi Ge was halfway through his explanation when he suddenly realized something was wrong.
"Wait a minute, what did you just say?"
"You can only have me as your silver elf wife!"
Qi Ge asked doubtfully:
"If I remember correctly, Malodia is a golden elf and Jenny is a human."
Elena shook her head and said:
"This involves the secrets of our elven royal family.
Malodia is the only mixed-race person in the entire Elf clan who has both gold and silver elf blood.
The probability of breaking through is one in a billion, a unique miracle.
When she was born, the elves even thought it was a gift from the goddess of fate.
So, Jenny can do it, Marodia can’t, absolutely not.”
Qige asked in shock while recalling Marodia's appearance:
"That's not right, Malodia's hair is all gold, not even a single strand of silver."
Elena blushed and said coyly:
"Oh, we elves don't just have hair on them."
Qi Ge: "Not only the top, but also... hiss..."
"I hate it. Don't think about it. Close your eyes and wash out the picture in your mind!"
"Wash it off, wash it off, no, I didn't think about it."
"You said you never thought about it, so I poked your eyes out."
