After visiting the night market and square of the Golden Leaf Corolla, it was getting late, and the three of them took a walk and headed back.
"I've seen a lot of my friends again. I'm going on a date tomorrow." Charlie couldn't wait to express her thoughts.
"Date?" Suddenly hearing this word, Lorraine Hill blinked in surprise.
It’s not that I don’t recognize this word, but it seems that it hasn’t appeared in my ears or in my mind for a long time.
"Of course, I am a young and beautiful girl. It is normal for a few people to like me. Jia Lan, you are still young, and you will understand in the future. Otherwise, this time I will take you to meet some handsome people in a few days.
I want you to find someone you like, haha~" Xia Li said to the girl, with a hint of a narrow-minded smile.
"I don't need it. Charlie, you should go alone." Lorraine Hill raised his hand in front of his chest and shook his head in fear.
"Hey, little Jialan, don't be shy. It would be weird not to fall in love at this age." Xia Li continued to talk about her views and evaluation of boys along the way.
"I don't mean it's a must, but I'd better know more about you so you won't be easily fooled by others."
"Okay, okay, Charlie, if you want to go, just go by yourself, don't call me." Lorraine Hill covered his ears and said he wouldn't listen.
"Okay, okay, it won't be difficult for you, Jia Lan." Seeing Lorraine Hill's appearance, Charlie no longer persisted and finally let the girl go.
After a good night's rest, the next day.
In the morning, Charlie changed her clothes, said hello to Lorraine and Vesterna, and then went out. This just left an independent space for the two of them to communicate.
"Little Xia Li went out, now you don't have to worry about being overheard by her." Westena sat on the sofa, comfortably drinking her cold brewed scented tea and talking to Lorraine Hill.
"Actually, in inviting Lorraine Hill here this time, I want to ask you about your recent thoughts and plans on the one hand, and on the other hand, I want to express some of my own thoughts and suggestions."
"So that's it." Lorraine Hill nodded, and then continued to look at the elf sage.
"Aren't you ready to give up and continue to implement your previous plan, which is to recast the empire into a harmonious whole?"
"Yes."
"If this is the case, there will be many difficulties involved. You must have seen by now that the situation in the empire is complicated."
"So, this is another reason why I invited you here, to tell you my proposal."
"Does Roland's composition of the future empire include the elves?"
"Nature is included."
"So, how do you plan to convince or conquer the elves?"
"This... I haven't thought about it for the moment."
"Indeed, now the various human forces in the empire are the big ones and more important. But I can just give you a small suggestion."
"Convince the leaders of the various factions within the forest elves and let them recognize and join your plan."
Gu Jin
"This is not a whimsical suggestion that I came up with at random, but a conclusion that I came to after some thought and trial and error."
"There are many views on the empire within the forest elves, and they are currently in a chaotic transition period. Each concept has potential supporters, but none has yet become mainstream."
"Some elves believe that the empire should return to the past, and that the elves enjoy certain privileges and rule the country together with the royal family. Some elves believe that the empire has already violated the original covenant, and it is good for the two to separate.
choose."
"Other elves believe that now is the best time to take advantage of the chaos within humans to send troops to regain land and territory and establish an independent country belonging to the elves."
"The boundaries between these three factions are not so clear. They change from time to time, but currently the escapist faction has the upper hand. If ignored, the elves will gradually separate from the human world and be enclosed in the paradise of the Emerald Forest."
"What we have to do is to convince many faction leaders within the forest elves to stand with us, gradually unify the opinions and concepts within the forest elves, let the elves regain curiosity and expectations for the outside world, and lead them to gradually
Towards a more open and integrated path.”
"Although I have this idea, even if I am a sage of the elves, I cannot easily change this general trend. The leaders of those factions are not inferior to my masters or extraordinary beings, and their will will not be easily changed.
"
"So, I thought of you this time. In fact, it was your words at the Sage Meeting, Luo Lan, that inspired me."
After saying all this, Westena took a few sips of scented tea again, paused briefly, and let Lorraine Hill digest this long explanation.
"Is it inside the forest elves..." Lorraine Hill did not answer immediately. She unconsciously twirled her hair around her ears and slowly thought about the meaning of Vistena's words.
Before coming to the Emerald Forest, she didn't know much about the elves, and she only heard about the conversations with Atesi. Speaking of which, she hadn't met this elf princess in several years, and she didn't know what her current situation was like.
If we can win over the elves as a powerful ally, the Eastern Territory can also be indirectly mediated and stabilized, and the situation within the empire will be greatly improved and gradually turn towards stability.
However, the elves are also powerful. Although they have a small population, due to their excellent lifespan, good educational environment, and stable life, the base ratio of their high-level transcendent beings is much higher than that of humans.
When facing humans who are shorter-lived, weaker on average, and more 'barbaric' than themselves, it's hard to say that the elves don't feel any sense of 'proud'.
It was the union of Yalin and the Elf Queen at the beginning. At that time, Yalin led the Green Kingdom to expand and become stronger step by step. Only then did the elves gradually recognize it and eliminate some of the prejudices in the past.
It's a pity that today's imperial royal family no longer has the same authority and image as in the past, and even if they have the blood of the Elf Queen, that is still a long way off.
"Would Her Majesty the Queen agree or approve of such a thing?" Lorraine Hill sounded another matter.
"Don't worry about this. Her Majesty the Queen is easier to talk to than Lorraine imagined." Vestina shook her head.
"That's it..."
"How do I convince those faction leaders? I'm not a strong person who is good at words." Lorraine Hill raised his head.
"Haha, Lorraine Hill is being modest again. If it comes to your personal charm and persuasive ability, I think few people in the Sage Association will come out to find fault."
"Have you not realized that when you speak, those eyes seem so clear and penetrating that the people who hear you are swayed and shocked."
"In fact, persuading others often does not rely on the so-called truth, but on emotional understanding and resonance, so that the other party can feel the true and flawless heart and be willing to be convinced by you."
"The truth is just the truth, only the feeling is so real, this is your charm, the unfallen star, Lorraine Hill."
