    "The Oracle of the Supreme: The brilliant scales hide the ultimate distortion and filth. No matter how the inferior aliens seduce with sweet words and exquisite gifts, Nieron's believers should respond with sharp blades, otherwise they will surely fall into evil and evil.  Fallen. Your Majesty, our Lord's message is clear and unambiguous. All Tia are obliged to follow the will of the Supreme Being and should immediately order the dragon and his servants who are watching the forest to be expelled or even killed. " Only 12 words per breath!  Syllables, stress when using honorifics and particles, and falling intonation when using derogatory words Even if they are stated in a tone full of pride and hatred, Nieron's priests still strictly abide by the language commandments of the lord of rituals, and their impassioned speeches are forced to be heard.  It's lengthy.  Three days have passedDrusiliya covered her face in despair, her actions that were unbecoming of the royal family immediately attracted the glares of the priests.  Three days ago at midnight, Drusilia and the investigation team brought back three abducted compatriots, causing an uproar in Ludu.  For some reasons, Drusilia asked the returning rangers to spread the news about the dragon, with special emphasis on "rescue" and "merchants", but the mysterious magic was not spread.  When the temple learned about it, the information had turned into rumors and spread to the surrounding villages of Green City.  The runaway Elf Princess and the Elf King negotiated for three hours, and finally the Elf King was persuaded and agreed to a prudent deal with the dragon.  The reason for this is not that the Elf King and Drusilia will easily believe in Lesatos' "goodwill" because of the three compatriots, but that if they miss this opportunity, they will not find other ways to replenish their weapons, but it is a gamble with no end in sight.  Unexpectedly, in the Council of Elders, the priests of Nielon were extremely resolute in their opposition, and the elders who were inclined to the temple accounted for one-third of the number, and unanimously demanded the expulsion of the dragon.  The elders who obeyed the Elf King and a few neutral factions began long tug-of-war negotiations.  In fact, what really makes Drusilia despair is the efficiency of the council. The Elf King proposed an issue, and the temple collectively opposed it. The elders mediated slowly. The Elf King proposed it again, and the temple objected again. The elders stayed in place for three whole days.  Go ahead, even if you want to veto it, just do it.  There is no time, that big eyeball will visit this evening, and the decision of the council affects whether Tia will accept it or fight back Drusilla turned to look at her father, her eyes full of fervent pleading.  The Elf King accepted his beloved daughter's request for help, stood up and interrupted the long discussion of the elders with a deep voice: "Everyone! Under the attack of human forces, if we accept the deal with that giant beast, Tia may be destroyed.  Sex is half, if we refuse, Tia’s demise is inevitable!” The elders moved uncomfortably. They were not used to such straightforward statements or coercion, and usually they would use historical allusions and poetic euphemisms.  The roundabout tone of voice shows that this rude ultimatum is more like a princess who is inexperienced in the world.  In fact, the elders did not guess wrong. These were indeed Drusilia's original words to convince the Elf King.  The elders were talking a lot, and the priests were livid. The doctrine of the ceremonial master was unconvincing in the face of the brutal and straightforward reality.  “Bah.” The tapping sound of the silver cane and the green granite floor was very slight, but it suddenly made the parliament hall so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.  The owner of the cane, the "ceremonial chief" of the temple, the darling of Nieron, the spiritual guide of the priests, the Orfascist high priest straightened up, his cheeks and sharp eyes that were tougher than Qingangyan shocked the entire audience.  "Your Majesty, instead of questioning our lord's oracle and guessing about the good and evil of alien races, it is better to ask the three elves who were brought back. They have spent more time with dragons and should be able to give us the answer." The chief priest said meaningfully.  Looking at the Elf King, the latter was not willing to be outdone and looked at Orfascism.  The chief priest proposed a new entry point and then asked for an adjournment.  Drushilia felt that the situation was not good, because her father took the initiative to look away from the eyes of the high priest.  In the lounge of the side hall, the Elf King was a little depressed and said to his daughter: "There is no way to pass the issue." "Why? Wouldn't it be more beneficial to us to let the rescued compatriots testify?" "The testimony is decided by the temple.  , as long as the priests take measures against the three witnesses and let them declare that the dragon is evil and cruel, public opinion will suddenly turn around." Drusilia's eyes widened in disbelief: "In order to drive away the Flame Mage, the temple will  Persecute your fellow tribesmen? " "Don't think of the temple as too dirty. Persecution is not something the priests are best at. They always have a way. " "Then what are we waiting for? I just asked Ramese yesterday.  Rai escorted them back to the village and immediately sent the guards to protect them. "The Elf King showed a helpless smile: "Liya, you don't understand the Orfascist High Priest. He can generously suggest adjourning the meeting, which means that the temple guards have taken the witness.  Pick it up. We missed it.One step, and it's too late to remedy the situation.  " Two hours later, Drushilia pushed open the door of the parliament angrily. She felt that the anger in the previous 320 years was not as much as today. She was angry at her father's inaction, the elders' vacillating positions, and the parliament's inaction.  Efficiency, and the temple that she hated the most, would rather send guards to intercept compatriots than contribute in the war against the slave catchers. When Drusilia saw another female elf waiting outside the door, part of her anger was lost.  Replacing guilt. "Sorry Violet, I failed" Violet is 200 years older than the princess and has a calmer and quieter temperament. "It doesn't matter, come, let's go to the lake. If the priests see it,  I, a commoner, will be in trouble again if I walk side by side with the princess.  " Violet's last sentence aroused Drusilia's anger. She recounted the incident in a complaining tone along the way. "After the temple picked up the rescued compatriots, my father gave up the issue directly. He said that the chief priest had already  The trump card has been revealed, and any further stalemate will cause more discord.  My father's code of conduct was always soaccommodating. If he had been tougher, he would not have allowed the temple's power to expand to this extent.  " Violet rationally avoided the discussion of the clan king and said: "The main reason for the expansion of the temple is that after the Tia Forest was blocked, the idle compatriots faced the invasion of humans and became more helpless mentally. Only then did faith take advantage of the situation.  .  "    "I see.  "Drusiliya sighed, "Only you can patiently listen to what I have to say. I'm afraid there's no hope for trade.  "Violet is not only a close friend of the princess, but also the person in charge of one-third of Green City's spice and timber exports, and all ore imports before the trade blockade. Even the most cunning and greedy dwarf can't squeeze more out of Violet's mouth.  For a silver coin, Drusilia originally planned to recommend her to trade with Lesatos if the issue passed. Villette was also very disappointed. She used to be a shopping mall general who made dwarves and humans furious, but now she can only live in decay every day.  "The salesman named Flamir will come with the goods in a few hours. What is the council going to do?"  " "The city guard rangers will expel him, but the temple has also sent guards to participate. Those stereotyped guys should shoot him directly.  Alas, I wonder which fool my father appointed to be responsible for this.  " A voice came out from behind the two of them: "Your Highness, if I am a fool, I must be the most handsome fool in Saraf.  " The two turned around, and Ramesile bowed and saluted. Violet said dissatisfiedly: "Quite a superb silent step, Ramesile, but are you learning the ranger skills just to eavesdrop on the privacy of ladies?  "No offense, but I only saw Liya, a lady. Is there anyone else here?"  "After saying that, she looked like she was looking around. Drushilia interrupted the two of them before Violet could counterattack with more harsh words: "Okay, you are all my friends, don't be separated by trivial matters.  Rameserai, did my father blame you for what happened to me?  " "Not only did it not happen, but His Majesty appointed me to lead the city guard rangers to "respond" to the arrival of the dragon servant.  " Lamesile added emphasis to the response. The two ladies exchanged a look. "It seems that the father has not completely given up on the issue, but where is the turning point?  " Violet frowned and said: "There is only one. The goods brought by Flamir are extremely valuable, valuable enough to cause a sensation in the Green City, and use the voice of the people to overthrow the temple's protests It is a very slim hope.  "Drusiliya was silent. In the deep darkness, she was facing the dawn of nowhere. She was haunted by depression and helplessness." Violet smiled and encouraged her friend and said: "Legend of dragons, don't all have precious treasures?"  ?, maybe it can be done.  At that time, it will be up to me to negotiate the price with him. I guarantee that no change in the eyes of any businessman can be hidden from me.  " "Eye?  "Drusiliya and Lamesile responded with strange expressions. "What?  Is Flamir blind?  Or an eyeless monster?  "    "No.  "Lamesilai said with a wicked smile: "I swear to the clan king, those are definitely the most "spirited" eyes I have ever seen.  "
