In the meeting hall of the Quiet City, the elf elders headed by Niliton were waiting, waiting for the arrival of the new city lord.
Every elder was silent, but with their sharp and deep eyes and the dull pressure spreading around, even the nearby elf guards felt short of breath. Everyone had a premonition, it seemed.
Something is about to happen, and the moment of tranquility in front of you is like a sign of the coming storm, taking root in the hearts of all the guards.
As the sound of footsteps approached from far away, the silver-haired half-elf who temporarily took over the city slowly appeared in the eyes of the elders.
"Lord City Lord..."
Facing the respectful greetings of the guards, Sodofei just nodded slightly, and at the same time looked at the elf elders who were waiting here. Facing the highly respected elf elders in the quiet city, Sodofi took the initiative to greet: "Everyone.
The respected elf elders here, I am very happy to meet you on this occasion. I hope that we can get along happily during the time when I replace Lord Jenny as the Lord of Quiet City."
Seeing that Sodofei took the initiative to greet and show his kindness, his attitude was not tough. On the contrary, with the humility shown by the half-elves after meeting the pure-blood elves, the elven elders frowned, and their eyes did not hide the affection stemming from blood.
Contempt, with no intention of answering the call, instead he left the city lord's greetings there. It wasn't until a while passed that even Sudofei was a little helpless that Elder Niliton spoke:
"Please forgive me, City Lord. Pure-blood elves have always been the city lords of Quiet City, and there is no precedent for humans or half-elves to succeed as city lords. This also made the elven elders a little uncomfortable for a while, but please, city lord
Don't worry, sir, as long as the city lord follows the rules of us pure-blood elves, everything in the city will be fine."
Listening to Niliton's words, Sodofei also noticed the hostility in the words. Recalling Ji Jia's warning not long ago, she also realized the real intention of the group of elf elders in front of her. They were afraid that they were coming with bad intentions and deliberately came here.
Coming to the Ministry of Internal Affairs at this moment is probably just to give myself a warning.
Recalling Master Jenny's previous teachings, Sodofei still maintained the smile of the past: "The elders were joking, if there is any trouble in the city, as the acting city lord of the quiet city recognized by the Elf King and the Jungle Guardian, I will naturally have to do it.
Find a way to solve it."
As if aware of Sodofei's gentle yet strong attitude, several elven elders looked at each other. The half-elf in front of them did not seem to be as easy to handle as they thought.
Niliton just hummed lightly, the ring between his fingers flashed with light, and a special parchment appeared in his hand:
"The previous Lord of Quiet City, Ivo, reached many agreements with us Elf Elders. However, as he died in the plan to fight against the Lord of the Undead, those agreements no longer count. Only the Lord of Quiet City can authorize it.
For these agreements to be effective, the city lord needs to review them. If there is no problem, the city lord needs to sign his name on the agreement."
Soduofei said oh, reached out to take the agreement that Niliton took out, and began to look through it. As he looked at it, Soduofei seemed to have something wrong with his expression, and his eyebrows were wrinkled, until he had read all of the agreement.
After finishing, he took a deep breath and put the agreement aside.
"I'm sorry, but I can't agree to the content of the agreement. If the agreement only requires tax exemption for pure-blood elf merchants and priority in supplying doomsday resources, I think I can agree to these conditions. But the agreement about pure-blood elf violations
After Eli rules, he will be subject to a secret trial by the elf elders instead of an open trial by the city council, and nearly 80% of the residential area in the city will be allocated to pure-blood elves. As the city lord of the quiet city, I cannot accept this.
”
After putting down the parchment, Sodofei shook his head and did not agree to the contents of the agreement. As a half-elf in Eli, Sodofi was lucky to have a kind and generous mentor like Jenny, but other half-elves could
Not so lucky. In Eri, half-elves have little say. It is normal to be oppressed by pure-blood elves or other species. If it were not for the strong rise of the hero Gru, the status of half-elves has been greatly improved, and for
The name of the entire half-elf group has been rectified, but I am afraid that half-elves still have a low status in Eri.
The agreement presented by the elf elders fully showed the preferential treatment for pure-blood elves, as if that was the treatment that pure-blood elves deserved. As Eli's master, even if Eli had a clear face.
There are creatures of all races, but secretly people know very well that pure-blood elves are the real masters of this dense forest. Only pure-blood elves can enjoy all the preferential treatment in the Elf Kingdom.
"Lord City Lord, I think you may not have paid attention to the last few items in the agreement. Maybe you should think more about it."
Seeing that Sodofei rejected the proposal of the elf elders without mercy, Niliton's face became a little ugly. No creature has ever been able to refuse his request in the quiet city. Even Ivo would reject the elf elders' proposal.
I thought twice about the proposal, not to mention that the half-elf in front of me was just a mixed-blood half-elf. If it weren't for Sodofei's status as the temporary city lord, and the witch Jenny behind her, Niliton would have already had an attack.
"Are you talking about the benefits for the city lord? I'm sorry, those things can't move me." Sodofei shook his head. The last part of the agreement mentioned by Niliton was all about what pure-blood elves can do to the lord of Quiet City.
The benefits provided and the wealth that ordinary businessmen cannot imagine are only secondary. The key is the power represented by pure-blood elves.
According to the various measures mentioned in the agreement, Sodofei believes that if she agrees to those requirements, even if Master Jenny cannot return on time, the emergency center will be able to flourish under the leadership of her, Jenny's chief apprentice.
The number of apprentices that can be recruited is dozens or hundreds of times greater than now, and that is the power that pure-blood elves represent in Eri. Sometimes, even the guardians of the jungle have to compromise with this power.<
/p>
However, Sodofei cannot do this. Once she confirms that the agreement is valid, it will undoubtedly be equivalent to packaging and selling all the creatures in the entire Quiet City to the pure-blood elf elders in front of her. She does not know those who are fleeing in the doomsday.
What kind of treatment will the creatures who come to the Quiet City face, but it is conceivable that when pure-blood elves control most of the survival resources, their situation will not be much better.
The real reason that made Sodofei make this decision was because she remembered Master Jenny's teachings. Sodofei believed in her heart that if Master Jenny were here, she would never agree to the elf elders in front of her.
Request. How can you abandon all creatures other than elves in the quiet city just because of your own interests, and enjoy the benefits provided by the elf elders with peace of mind? The perseverance and kindness in her heart prevent Sodofei from doing such a thing
Decision.
Seeing that Sodofei was so ignorant, the elf elders were also angry. One of the long-bearded elf elders said angrily: "Don't you know what kind of kingdom of creatures does Eli belong to? Just one.
What right does a half-elf with mixed blood have to refuse an offer from a pure-blooded elf?"
Another slightly thin elf elder also echoed: "A half-elf is a half-elf after all. The blood of elves is obviously flowing in his body, but he is unwilling to fight for any benefits for his fellow elves. What do you think?
Who exactly are you? I think you should simply abandon the elf blood in your body. Anyway, to you, the elf blood is nothing at all."
Listening to the words of many elf elders, Niliton was silent for a while, but looked at Sodofei, hoping that the half-elf girl in front of him would change his mind. However, he was disappointed in the end.
Facing the accusations from a group of elven elders, the former Sodofei might have been at a loss, but she and Guardian Jenny had experienced various incidents, and even faced life-and-death crises several times, and were almost killed by the undead.
She, who was in charge of the murder, was no longer the half-elf who could be manipulated by others. At this moment, she also said angrily:
"Don't forget your identities. You are speaking to the Lord of Quiet City. I really want to know how your insulting half-elves reach the ears of Hero Gru, the chief of the Jungle Guardians, what he will think about it.
What a reaction!"
As if aware of the strong meaning contained in Sodofei's words, the nearby elders temporarily silenced themselves. Facing the half-elf who had not yet entered the legend, they could certainly slander the inferiority of his bloodline, but for the strongest half-elf in the world,
They dare not show any disrespect to the hero Gru who is also the chief guardian of the jungle and wields the Phantom Bow.
To slander the chief of the Jungle Guardians is to go against the entire Jungle Guardians. When the time comes, it won't be Hero Gru's turn to take action. Thousands of forest animals who have been favored by the Jungle Guardians will completely tear them apart.
Fragments, at that time, even being pure-blooded elves will not allow them to save their lives at all.
The identity of a hero can bring unlimited possibilities, and even allow creatures to break through the original upper limit of strength. Although Gru is only a half-elf, his strength is such that even real demigods will be afraid of him.
Existence is the biggest support for Eli creatures to survive this doomsday safely. After hearing the name of the hero Gru, even the angry elf elders completely calmed down at this moment.
It was not until the elders did not dare to slander them, but their expressions were full of fear, that Niliton slowly said: "Your Majesty, why do you need to make the situation so tense? Since the Lord is unwilling to cooperate, we will not cooperate either.
I won’t force anything, I just hope that the city lord will not regret this day’s decision in the future.”
Faced with Niliton's cruel words, Sodofei's expression changed slightly. Compared with other elders who had anger written on their faces, the elder in front of him who never showed his anger and joy was perhaps the most difficult to deal with.
Exists.
Pure-blood elves have been operating in the Quiet City for a long time. If they are targeted by them, I am afraid that things will not go well in the Quiet City in the future. But now that the matter has come to this, Sodofei will not change her words. In her heart
The decision has already been made.
Just when Sodofei was about to open her mouth to invite the elf elders back, she heard a burst of merciless ridicule coming from beside her: "I know how noble the Elf bloodline of Eli is, but I didn't expect that deep down, it's no different from other creatures.
The difference is that you are striving for fame and wealth by any means, but you still have to flaunt the correctness of your actions. I don’t think you are any better than the Krulod people."
The person who said these words was none other than Ji Jia, who came here with Soduofi. With dark green skin, she put her battle ax on her shoulder and mocked the behavior of the elven elders with a playful expression.
Ji Jia's outrageous behavior not surprisingly aroused the irresolvable hostility of many elven elders, and many angry looks fell on the barbaric woman at this moment. As pure-blood elven elders, they finally
What cannot be tolerated is someone slandering their bloodline. If looks could kill, Ji Jia would have died countless times.
"Who is not convinced?" Faced with the hostility of many elf elders, Ji Jia roared not to be outdone. Her roar was like a wild and untamed wolf. If someone is not determined, after her roar,
They would be unable to move next time. What made the look of contempt in Ji Jia's eyes even worse was that several elf elders were so frightened that they froze in place.
"Barbarians? When did barbarians move freely in Eli?"
"I knew that the Elf King's decision was a mistake. He should not have accepted refugees from all over the world. Now, fortunately, even the rude barbarians of Krolod can settle in Eli. If this continues, I am afraid that the
The noble and elegant names of the elves will all be destroyed by the barbarians."
As if feeling the legendary aura exuding from Ji Jia's body, the expressions of the nearby elven elders changed slightly. Barbarians of the legendary level are probably quite rare in the entire Krulod. Barbarians are not.
Elves have long lifespans and spend their whole lives in battle. No elf would doubt Ji Jia's strength at this moment. The strength of a barbarian who can advance all the way to the seventh level of legend cannot be underestimated.
existence.
"Okay, now that the city lord has made up his mind, it is pointless for us to waste more words. However, if the city lord changes his mind, he can come to us at the residence of the pure-blood elves at any time."
Seeing that Ji Jia's appearance seemed to cause another conflict, Niliton shook his head and took the initiative to stop the conflict from spreading. After taking a deep look, he led the nearby elf elders to leave.
Under Niliton's meaningful look, Sodofei's heart froze, and it seemed that the future days in the quiet city would not be peaceful.
