Chapter 1154: Not easy task

~-~ "Some people want the Elf Kingdom to be completely neutral in the future war?" Lorraine frowned and said in a deep voice.
"Uh..." Hippo Maidong paused, and finally said with a helpless expression: "You can also say the same."
Lord Luo's face sank involuntarily. Looking at Palentine questioningly: What is going on in this fairy kingdom? Facing a strong enemy, how indifferent would you be?
With a bitter expression on the side of Balentin, he reluctantly said: "The Elf Kingdom, how do you say that... has been in peace for too long~!"
Having said this, he sighed heavily, then picked up the hip flask around his waist, raised his neck, and took a big sip.
Lorraine knew he had something to say, but stared at him calmly.
Stimulated by the high-purity spirits, Palentin grinned and sighed comfortably, wiped his mouth, and said: "I have drunk wine for so many years. I used to think that the dwarf’s wine was the strongest, but Unexpectedly, the real spirit is your Nian's Red Star Erguotou.
One bite down, like a knife. After drinking it, drinking other wine is like chewing wax. "
Next to Hippo Maidong, he reached out and took the hip flask. He also took a sip, and suddenly he grinned. After a while, this reacted, and sighed, "Good wine~!" Palentin laughed and continued: "This wine is like a human being, only those rugged, upright and brave men can do it. Drink such a violent wine.
Therefore, such spirits will be welcomed in other races.
And here we are. Everyone is used to sweet, low-alcohol wine..."
Lorraine's contempt for Palentine for a while: It's a spirit. Just this understanding?
Drinking spirits is a hero?
This is exactly the same as the theory of ‘driving a good car is a good person’.
How much a person can think of it.
Lord Lord Luo likes to drink Italian red wine, but Lord Lord Lord will not tell you, let you go stupid.
At this time, Palentine sighed, and then continued: "There has been no war for hundreds of years. At most, it is just fighting pirates. The bravery inherited from our ancestors in the great empire era has been exhausted. Take a look. People around us."
As he said, he pointed his finger at the elves on the surrounding streets.
After seeing that there was no excitement to watch, those people had already dispersed. Leisurely drinking and chatting on the street.
Palentine said without worries: "They spend their lives in good wine and music, taking their lives for granted. How did they ever think about their lives now? It is a few generations, a dozen generations, or even a few generations. Ten generations of elven warriors fought hard.
Our enemies are still strong, they are always by the side coveting us...
But now, the idea of ​​neutrality also has a big market for ordinary people.
Many people think that war will only increase their tax burden and destroy their comfortable lives.
They are far away from the mainland, and it is not worth letting their children shed blood and sacrifice for those human beings. "
Palentine sneered and said, "What a ridiculous idea that when a neighbor catches a fire, he shouldn't help. I really have to wait until the fire is big and it burns to my house. That's too late."
They are also concerned about taxation, and if they don't defeat the enemy, they won't even have the guarantee of life.
In the future, when the butcher knife rests on the neck, I wonder if they will be in the mood to consider their tax issues, ha ha ha ha! "
Palentine couldn't help laughing a few times in anger.
He and Lorraine killed seven in and seven out of the Semitic, and he knew the idea of ​​the Undead Clan better than anyone else.
He would never take it for granted, as long as the elf declared "We are neutral." After the undead tribe defeated humans, they would generously let go of the elven kingdom.
Hippo Maidon analyzed carefully with his fingers: "No matter how powerful the navy of the Elf Kingdom is, it can't stop the war fortress with absolute advantages.
The information you brought back shows that the number of war forts being built by the undead alone has exceeded two hundred..."
and. Although the population of wizards in the elves is higher than that of humans, our population base is small.
and so. The total number of mages is less than a quarter of that of Ruman Empire.
As for our army, they are not even opponents of undead summoning creatures. Not to mention that we don't have holy spell casters who specialize in restraining the undead.
No matter from which aspect, our Elf Kingdom alone cannot defeat the powerful Necromancers alone. "
"The scary thing is," Palantine shook his head and said, "Now, from high-level to civilians, many people think that neutrality is better for us."
"The situation seems to be more complicated than expected," Lorraine shook his head in confusion, chuckled, and said, "Before I came, no one reminded me of the changes in the Elf Kingdom."
Before Lorraine left the United Nations headquarters, Wabador and the others were extremely optimistic.
Everyone agrees that the signing of the covenant between humans and the Elf Kingdom is a logical matter.
After all, everyone has joined hands to fight against the enemy, and the brotherhood between humans and the Elf Kingdom a thousand years ago should stand the test of history.
Lord Luo only needs to run once, start a pen, and write a name with his own unique stroke of stinky characters, and this thing will be done.
The navy of the elven kingdom will bravely fight the demon fleet on the ocean as it was a thousand years ago.
Therefore, everyone thinks that this is a disparity that can no longer be spent.
In the past two years, Lord Luo has indeed been running around, too tired, so this trip will be his turn.
Of course, this also has something to do with General Wabador and the old guys pulling each other back.
Originally they were all rushing to go, but the candidate has not been determined. In the end, it was based on the principle of ‘unlucky, let’s fall together’ in the office war.
In the end, this place was... to be precise, it was Lorraine's turn extremely unexpectedly.
But anyway, this is an extremely simple task.
But talk a little bit with Palentine and Hippo Maidon. Lord Luo just found out. Things turned out to be different from what they had unilaterally envisioned, and it was in big trouble~!
The reason should be the lack of communication between the two parties for a long time, and the communication between humans and the Elf Kingdom has long since become weak. No change in the other party was found.
There has been no real communication between the high-levels of the two sides for even a hundred years. The last time the dignitaries of the Elf Kingdom went abroad to visit the mainland was more than a hundred years ago.
Humans do not like the arrogance of elves, and the kingdom of elves does not like the cruelty of humans.
Coupled with the estrangement caused by the difference in religion between the two sides.
Of course, this also has something to do with those greedy human races.
Because the elves are generally handsome. Naturally, some humble puppies hit their idea-kidnapping the elf girl, and then resell it at a high price.
Not to mention, there are also nobles and royals in some places who condone and protect this behavior privately, and even do it secretly or publicly.
Although there are not many such things. Moreover, the officials of various countries have always made strong blows, but this kind of underground trading has been repeatedly prohibited.
It adds to the evil feelings of the elves.
In the end, the elves who made them went further and further away from the humans. Formed a unique island state mentality-I just need to eat and drink by myself, and none of you bother me.
In addition, the elves themselves are an extremely conservative race.
They are culturally closed and self-esteem very high. Even the few elves in Nian'an under the rule of Lorraine rarely intermarried with foreigners.
This is why Hippo Maidon marries a human female, but Lorraine is so surprised, in the elven customs. Hippo Maidong, this is an act of forgetting one's ancestors and rebelliousness, and will be excluded from the circle of nobility.
But he is also the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Fleet, one of the five fleets of the kingdom.
There should be a big story in it, but Lord Lorraine is not a gossip, and now is not the time to inquire about this.
Turn back and hand the task to... Deipule... Uh, no, let's hand it to Adele.
Although Deipoll is engaged in intelligence, Adele is a professional gossip. As long as it is handed over to her, it is guaranteed that Hippo Maidong’s old stories can be figured out within a day.
Lorraine thought for a while and looked at Palentine and Hippo Maidon. Doubtfully said: "In that case, why did the two of you tell me this? Are you afraid that those anti-war conservative forces know? They are very likely to target you."
Hippo Maidong glanced at the surrounding crowd and said contemptuously: "We just want them to see. We support you, the UN and the peacekeeping forces."
Then Hippo Maidong shouted angrily at the crowd: "There are still people in the Elf Kingdom who are not cowards~!"
Outside the crowd, a few onlookers lowered their hats, and stepped back into the crowd.
Lorraine was secretly funny. Their actions with guilty conscience are equivalent to telling themselves clearly. They are here to eavesdrop.
Balentin smiled and said to Lorraine: "Hippo Maidong is this temper, so some people have always said that he is more like a human than an elf."
Catherine and the others have been in for a while, Lorraine looked at it, and a large group of waiters were still walking around them, desperately stacking various exhibits in front of them.
Of their ten girls, each of them would pick a few pieces to make thirty or forty pieces. According to their temperament for excellence, they wouldn't be able to make them in half an hour.
Lorraine gave a wry smile, looked at Hippo Maidong, and said: "But, why tell me that? I mean, why don't you communicate directly with the peacekeeping forces."
Hippo Maidon and Palentin looked at each other and said, "Because we think it is more effective to tell the prince.
If it is handed over to the bureaucrats of the United Nations, and after they reach an agreement, the war may be over. And the peacekeeping force..."
Hippo Maidong spread his hands and said, "The headquarters of the peacekeeping force has not been established yet? You are now one of the highest officials of the peacekeeping force."
Lorraine slapped his forehead. It seems that Palentine and the others have a deep understanding of bureaucracy. The United Nations is the bureaucracy of bureaucracy.
For example, in a speech, after deciding on the topic, a meeting must be held for the order of speeches, and a meeting must be watched to determine the "procedure for determining the order of speech".
Usually various meetings have been held for half a month, and the formal topics have not yet started, which is common.
As for the peacekeeping force, there is only one flag and one brand left. A commander in chief and a deputy commander in chief. There was nothing else, not even an office or a secretary serving tea.
The United Nations is still arguing over the structure of the peacekeeping force, which seems to be far away.
Palentine smiled, patted Lorraine's arm, and said, "You are our own, Prince."
Hippo Maidong nodded and praised: "Your action in Ruman's rescue of elf slaves has been unanimously praised in the kingdom.
And you are resolutely against the undead, and this is also in harmony with many of us. Many of us admire you for confronting the undead high priest, so to speak. It is your fearless courage that has awakened many of us.
More importantly, the quality of your words will let us know that you are a reliable person. "Hippo Maiden kept praising Lorraine. Lord Lorraine was a little blushed when he said that he was a little bit blushed, and said to himself, his reputation in the Elf Kingdom is so good?
Every human country on the mainland can say good things about it.
"Sure enough, the truth is only in the hands of a few people." Lord Lorraine sighed slightly.
Hippo Maidon and Ballendin were startled, and they understood Lorraine's words, and at the same time nodded, and said, "The prince said so."
Lorraine waved his hand and said, "How many people in the kingdom are on our side?"
Hippo Maidong shook his head regretfully and said: "First of all, the mages and the druids of the kingdom are firmly opposed to neutrality. They and the necromancers are not the same as deadly enemies."
Lorraine nodded. This is affirmative. The Elven Kingdom is prosperous to produce life-type mages, and the Druids are equivalent to the holy priests of human beings and are in charge of the religion of the Elven Kingdom.
Because of the relationship between the source of mana and doctrine, they are natural enemies with the necromancer who advocates destruction and creates death. The two sides were already enemies thousands of years ago.
The destruction of the necromancer is clearly written in the doctrine of druids.
In comparison, it was a thousand years ago that the elemental wizards who were the mainstream in the human continent broke up with the necromancers. The element wizards have always maintained neutrality.
Even to this day, elemental mages are still the birthplace of liches, and it is not uncommon to secretly study dark mages.
Hippo Maidong continued: "In the Presbyterian Church, almost 40% of the people who support the war and the neutrality each accounted for, and the rest were still swaying from side to side."
The Presbyterian Church is the unique authority of the Elf Kingdom. With the dual responsibilities of the government and the parliament, the elders are the highest-level officials of the government. Each is responsible for one party.
So the opinions of the Presbyterian Church represent the opinions of the government.
"Your Majesty?" Lorraine asked the question he cared most.
Although the Presbyterian Church has real power, the Elven Kingdom is still a feudal kingdom, and the king's will directly determines the country's destiny.
Kalion IV has been in power for more than 20 years, and he has never heard of any chaos. Life is not extravagant. There has never been any lace news. It can even be said that he is an ordinary person with a little boring life.
It's not like the Emperor Rudrun who makes trouble from time to time.
The elven kingdom now doesn't need him to expand its territory.
From the performance point of view, although he is not a Mingjun, he can be called a competent king.
Respect and respect in the kingdom.
Hippo Maidon and Balentin smiled bitterly at each other. Hippo Maidon sighed and said distressedly: "This is the most troublesome thing. His Majesty the King himself has never expressed his opinion. I can't see who the Kingdom supports. .
Because of this, our internal disputes have become more and more intense. "
Lorraine thought about the enthusiastic smile of King Calion IV, and couldn't help but curl his lips and complained: "This old fox."
Non-commitment means sitting and watching people fighting underneath. This is an ordinary imperial power technique, an effective way to consolidate rights.
"Don't look at the time," Lorraine said bitterly: "It's a big deal. This is something that makes him hesitate."
Of course, Balentin and Hippo Maidon dared not speak ill of their king, but shrugged helplessly as they had not heard Lorraine's complaint.
Hippo Maidon lowered his voice and said quietly: "Now, your majesty's attitude is the most important thing. From your Majesty's personal visit to Asilas to welcome you to the prince, you can see that your majesty attaches great importance to your visit.
So we hope you can persuade your Majesty to make up your mind as soon as possible. "
Lorraine rubbed his nose and said embarrassedly: "Which old guy I am not familiar with."
Palentine said humorously: "I think our King will not have the undead high priest more difficult to deal with?"
Lorraine said, "Do you have any special preferences?"
Balentin scratched his head, thought for a while, and said, "This... Your Majesty likes food."
Lorraine picked the corners of his mouth and shook his head with a wry smile. The old man was almost out of treatment.
Catherine and the others walked out of the famous shop with joy and laughter. At this time, their wrists or necks were hung with different styles and different colors of crystal jewelry.
Palentine smiled at them. Several of the girls had followed Lorraine in the Mozu's birth and death, especially Miss Vera, who was extremely powerful, and one person was able to compete with several people, leaving Palentin with a profound experience along the way. impression.
Hippo Maidong also greeted the girls politely, and then said to Lorraine: "Wait your time, then I'll say goodbye. We will visit you when we have time."
Lorraine shook their hands and said goodbye to them. Hippo Maidong took two steps, then suddenly turned back and said, "Oh, yes, I forgot to tell you that the one who insists on neutrality is His Royal Highness and the prince. Old Burns."
The girls flocked into the next flagship store, and there were long waiters waiting for their presence.
Leo, who came out at last, stuffed Xiaobai's pocket with the things he was holding in his hand. Seeing that his back pocket was already full, but there were still a few things left unpacked, which made him extremely embarrassed.
Finally ~EbookFREE.me~ He rolled his eyes, and while Catherine was not paying attention to herself, he punched him hard and pressed his hands up and pressed it down-if Xiaobai's back pocket was too high, Leo probably Will stamp a few more feet.
Immediately, he was very happy to see that the space in the back pocket was squeezed out a lot, so he nodded with satisfaction. All the remaining pieces were stuffed in disorderly.
Xiaobai looked at his boss with an innocent expression. If the big sisters found that the packaging box was deflated, he would definitely end up miserably.
Leo touched the sweat on his forehead, and complained dissatisfied: "Boss, you are too unjust, you are all your girlfriends, why should I carry the bag for them...
Huh? What's wrong with you, boss? "
Lorraine had been looking at the backs of Hippo Maidon and Ballendin, and a smile full of fighting spirit suddenly appeared on his face.
