Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 408 Chapter [-]

Alan Cousins ​​took the members of the art troupe in the convoy and followed the elf messenger to the family residence.

Xia Houyan followed the elf envoy who claimed to be "Leah" through the majestic gate of Yongri City, along the "Chiba Street" in the center of the city, and headed for the Emerald Palace where the elf queen lived.

This "Chiba Street" is named after "Chiba City", the capital of the ancient elf empire.From the name, it can be seen that the elves of the Stardust Protectorate obviously want to reproduce the magnificent atmosphere of the elves in ancient times who looked down on the world and swayed the world on this main road.

Therefore, the buildings on both sides of "Chiba Avenue" also fully demonstrate the unique architectural style of elves:
All the houses and shops are mainly constructed of pure white marble, with rounded and smooth shapes, gorgeous but not exaggerated.The most special thing is that in every corner, every colonnade, and every cornice of these buildings, lush green leaves can be seen with the naked eye.

In Eternal Sun City, plants are not just a tool to provide shade on the sidewalk, or a decoration to decorate the building. For the elves, plants are an inseparable part of the building itself.

This combination of stone materials and green plants is most vividly reflected in the central tower of Eternal Sun City:
——Even if he was next to Leah and several kilometers away from the tower, Xia Houyan could still clearly see the landmark building of Eternal Sun City:

In a traditional human city, the most conspicuous building is always the lord's castle in the center of the city, but in Eternal Sun City, the towering tower in the center of the city, which is pure white, entwined with vines, and reaches directly into the clouds, replaces the castle in the human city. status.Looking around, in mid-air, white stones and green plant rhizomes are closely intertwined like lovers kissing, which together constitute the main body of the tower, and finally a huge green tree crown stretches out from the top of the tower, covering the entire eternal life. The central area of ​​Sun City is shrouded in the shade of trees.

At first glance, the viewer can't even tell whether the central spire of Eternal Sun City is a huge building surrounded by plants, or a giant tree inlaid with white stones - there is no doubt that this is a plant that only belongs to the elves Only magic can perfectly combine the two materials to create a world wonder.

"Her Majesty's bedroom, the 'Emerald Palace', is at the top of the spire, in the center of the canopy." Leah, the elf maid who led the way, noticed the gaze of the Duke of Shuangfengling looking up at the spire, and introduced with a chuckle, "I Lord Duke Gore, I will take you along the 'Chiba Avenue' all the way to the root of the steeple, and then we will take the magic straight ladder to the crown of the tree and meet the Queen."

"This city is really beautiful." Xia Houyan looked at this shocking man-made giant tree, and sighed, "There will be a lot of things in the future, if you can live and study here and hope for the heart, you will live up to the rest of your life! "

The elf Leah was stunned for half a second, then covered her lips with her hands and giggled.

After counting the entire continent, perhaps only the elves, after hearing the praise of a lord duke, would not speak a few words of humility—for the elves, our city is beautiful, and that is a matter of course. There is no need to be hypocritical and humble, just smile and agree.

The pride of the elves is engraved in the bones.

After looking at the buildings in Yongri City, Xia Houyan lowered his head again and observed the pedestrians walking along the "Qianye Avenue" with great interest.

According to the historical records of the Eastern Territory that he read before the trip, "Eternal Sun City" was originally a human city with vigorous roots, and it was one of the earliest settlements established by humans on the west side of the Dust Mountain Range.

However, unlike the ever-growing human empire, where "hundreds of families are like a game of Go, and twelve streets are like vegetable gardens", Yongri City was destroyed shortly after its establishment due to the war between humans and orcs. The buildings were almost reduced to rubble.For a long time, this place was a ruined city that no one managed. Only some human refugees lived in the ruins and took care of themselves.

This situation continued until a descendant of the Elf Empire, the "Stardust Elf", took the initiative to seek asylum from the Empire.The then Emperor "The Merciful" Galius II received the request, and with a swipe of a pen, he gave the abandoned Eternal Sun City to the elves.

Since then, Eternal Sun City has become a city where humans and elves live together, and it has also become the capital of the "Stardust Elf Protectorate" - the elves who have been bullied and despised in other cities of the empire, only in this green city In the city, he can puff up his chest as a "protectorate citizen".

It was under the hard work of the elves that the dilapidated Eternal Sun City became the luxurious scene it is today.

Xia Houyan walked on the road, and soon discovered that the pedestrians on both sides of "Qianye Avenue" included both elves and humans, and the number of the two was not much different.And if you want to distinguish the members of the two races, in addition to paying attention to the elves' extraordinarily handsome appearance, light-colored hair and pointed ears, there is actually one more important skill:
All human beings would immediately stand still and salute after seeing the duke's costume Xia Houyan was wearing, while the elves, even if they showed the most flattering and flattering performance, would just nod their heads shallowly.

If it were another human nobleman, he might be a little displeased with the arrogant attitude of the elves, but since there are many elves in Shuangfengling, Xia Houyan has already known the nature of these pointy-eared guys——

——What's more, in order to better communicate with the Eternal Sun City elves, before leaving, he specially invited Vilf to make up for the elves' body structure overnight.

The Duke of Frost Maple Ridge was admiring the surrounding scene, while Liya, the elf messenger, was actually secretly observing this honored guest.

Elliot Igor, Duke of Frost Maple Ridge - this is a name that is no stranger to Leah.

This is not only because Her Majesty the Queen often uses this name on her lips, but also because Lord Elliot Igor is a character who often appears in the "Biqu Pavilion" novels that are currently popular in Yongsun City .

In those dazzling and yearning legends, Lord Elliott Igor once slayed a giant frost dragon alone, once led an army to defeat the invincible orc iron army, and once saved countless sufferings. The oppressive sub-human race is the eternal love of the "Flower of Abundance" Ms. Vilf. Although elves have always disdained humans, no race can resist their admiration for epic heroes.

Therefore, when she saw the Duke of Shuangfengling at the gate of Yongri City just now, Leah was actually a little disappointed.

In the fantasy of this elf girl, the great Duke of Frost Maple Ridge should perhaps be taller in stature, sterner in face, and calmer in momentum—just like the "blood prince" whom even elves have to be convinced. Grand Duke Hua"Grimm Rosario.

However, Eliot Igor, who appeared in front of him, seemed a little too young.

Leah couldn't figure it out, how did this handsome young man who looked like he was only in his early 20s lead the increasingly famous Shuangfengling to a world in the cruel land of cracking souls?
Along the way, she took advantage of the time when the Duke was looking around, and almost looked at the Patriarch Igor with a good eye.

However, the more she looked at it, the more frightened Leah became.

The Duke of Shuangfengling doesn't seem to be the kind of person who can stand up to scrutiny—this doesn't mean that his appearance is flawed, so that if you look closely, it will burst like a plain female network anchorwoman, but , the more you look at him, the more you seem to fail to understand him.

Leah noticed the red velvet Duke's finery that was deliberately thinned on the Duke's body - the military tradition of the empire caused most of the nobles' formal attire to have a military uniform style, but it only looked bloated when worn by those old nobles with a pot belly Elliott Igor's red dress was as straight as a knife, and the scarlet fabric had an aggressive aura like a sharp blade and fire, which made Leah suddenly realize that this young man might have experienced More killings, wars and deaths than the vast majority of people on the continent.

Lia also noticed the eyes of the Duke: they were as deep as the pupils of a silent night, but they were not so dark and empty—on the contrary, they were black with a sense of mystery, which made Lia feel for no reason that Ai There must be many secrets hidden in Liot Igor, and a large part of them may never be revealed to the world.

Looking at the cheek of the Duke of Frost Maple Ridge, Leah, the elf girl who is extremely proud of her eyebrows, suddenly discovered that humans can also look good.

"If you look at me again, Shuangfengling will charge you." Xia Houyan turned his head to look at Liya, and said calmly.

The sneak peek was caught on the spot, but it was Liya who had always behaved well, her cheeks were a little flushed.

"That... Lord Duke Igor..." Liya seemed to be trying to cover up something, walked a few steps deliberately, and asked in a low voice, "I have a question... I don't know..."

"Ask." Xia Houyan smiled: Although the elves have a long history, the girl in front of her is obviously still a young girl.

"Is the matter between you and Ms. 'Flower of Abundance' Weierf... true?" Leah asked boldly.

Xia Houyan had a hallucination, and felt as if he saw the boring netizens who were crazy about cp in the Internet age.

"It's true." He chuckled and joked, "Why, 'Flower of Abundance' is famous in Eternal Sun City?"

"Very famous!" Leah seemed to have regained her composure, and nodded with a smile, "Before the 'Flower of Abundance' left Eternal Sun City, she was the most popular writer here, and now I can see the 'Flower of Abundance' again." The work of "Flower" is really wonderful! Only the book of "Flower of Abundance" has that noble and elegant style, which can win the favor of our elves..."

Xia Houyan said in his heart, if you knew that those books were written by bandits from the Land of Cracking Souls, half of the people in Eternal Sun City would hang themselves...

"'Flower of Abundance' is pretty good." Xia Houyan pursed his lips, rubbed his chin and replied honestly, "Recently, her skills have improved a lot."

Liya gave a half-understanding "Oh", then stared at Xia Houyan with flickering eyelashes, probably envious of the duke being able to get along with the famous elf writer day and night.

"Miss 'Flower of Abundance' Vilf is a distant cousin of Her Majesty the Queen." Leah said softly, "When she disappeared before, Her Majesty the Queen was very worried..."

"Worried about Weierfu's accident?" Xia Houyan asked.

"No... Her Majesty has many cousins, and Her Majesty is not worried about a cousin's personal safety." Leah said with some embarrassment, "Your Majesty is mainly worried that you won't be able to read the serialization of the novel in the future, and you are also worried about Will. Miss Fu has lost the face of the Chinese elves outside..."

Xia Houyan felt that the Elf Queen's concern about the eunuchs in the novel was purely unfounded. As for worrying about Vilf's embarrassment...

Obviously, she had lost it, and lost it quite a lot.

The two chatted while walking, and soon arrived at the foot of the central tower.

Here, like outside the city gate, there were already many elf guards standing with halberds, and banners such as "Welcome the Duke of Shuangfengling" were hung high up.Liya talked to the guards for a few words, and then led the lord to stand on a wooden board suspended in the air at a height of [-] centimeters.

Liya whispered an old elf saying, and a railing made of magic vines quickly grew on the edge of the board, and then slowly lifted the two of them up.

In the end, they came to the top of the tower - a huge palace of pure wood structure embedded among countless dense branches and green leaves.

"This is Her Majesty's bedroom, the heart of the 'Stardust Protectorate', the Emerald Palace." Leah bowed slightly, "Please come with me, Her Majesty should be waiting for you."

Xia Houyan nodded indifferently, and followed Lia into the emerald palace high in the sky.

Compared with the shocking feeling brought to first-timers outside the palace and the City of Eternal Sun, the interior decoration of the palace is a bit commonplace-the decoration is elegant and gorgeous, but the ancient paintings of elves hanging on the corridor walls seem to have a lot of appearance. Not even as valuable as the collection in Frost Maple Ridge.

The only thing that satisfied Xia Houyan was the elf maids walking in the palace—they were all wearing soft and smooth silk backless long dresses, with a large exposed area of ​​skin, combined with the unique beauty of the elves, it made Xia Houyan more satisfied. The officials of Xiahou felt deeply that this trip was worthwhile.

Leah led him all the way to the depths of the palace, in front of a white wooden door inlaid with precious stones and outlined with golden threads.

Behind the wooden door, there was a faint voice of intense discussion, as if someone was arguing about something - this lively human voice, and the environment of the Emerald Palace surrounded by beautiful orchestral music seemed quite out of tune.

Liya also seemed a little surprised when she heard the voice behind the door.She asked Xia Houyan to wait where she was, then quickly opened the door and took a look, then tiptoed back out.

"Please wait a moment..." Liya nodded to Xia Houyan, and said apologetically, "Her Majesty seems to be discussing something with someone else, it should be something unplanned, I'm really sorry..."

"It's okay, it's okay, I don't care." Xia Houyan laughed.

Then, under the stunned gaze of the elf girl, he pushed open the door and walked in.
