Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 61 The Flower of Abundance
Before the stunned Igor family could react, the "box girl" who was locked in the safe saw so many people around her, her big eyes like golden gems suddenly filled with tears, and her small mouth opened. howling loudly:

"Help! You don't come here—help—"

I have to say that this little girl's voice is really nice, even her howling sounds are not harsh at all, but have a tactful beauty like the chirping of a yellow warbler and the wailing of a cuckoo.

Hearing the cry in his ear, a certain lord's brain became more and more blank.

Until now, his brain circuit that was just hit hard has not been able to solve this sudden logical fallacy:

Why is there a fucking soft girl in the safe that holds the elf plant "Flower of Abundance"? !
Among the people present, the quickest reaction was the old Jianghu Master Victor Laurie-he chanted a "calm spell" as if he had just woken up from a dream, and smashed the white spiritual magic halo at the beautiful girl in the safe. past.

She deserves to be a junior magister of the spiritual department. As soon as the "calm spell" halo wrapped around the girl's petite body, she immediately stopped crying.

However, she still huddled in the corner of the magic safe, looking at the Igor family outside the cabinet with fear.

—Like looking at a group of murderers, arsonists, rapists on the loose.

"You guys! Explain the situation to her!" The master winked at Alice and Anjie who were dumbfounded.

Under the current situation, they, who are also women, are obviously the easiest candidates to persuade the girl in the cabinet to calm down.

The master himself pulled the Lord Lord, Mayor Joel, and Death Knight Clement a little away, whispering in a circle.

"What the hell is this?" Xia Houyan couldn't wait to lower his voice and scolded, "Who is this girl? Where is Laozi's elf plant?"

"Could it be that she is actually an elf plant?" Clement put forward a slightly absurd assumption.

Xia Houyan and Mayor Joel were dumbfounded: vegetative?
"Farting elf plant!" Only Master Laurie was the only one who understood.

Don't dare to say anything else, this senior magician who has been practicing for a long time (in various senses) knows nothing about the women of all races on the Haven Continent!
The master could tell at a glance just now that the person in the safe was clearly an elf girl!

Her pointy ears and the light green hair color unique to elves are the best proof of her identity!
However, there are many subspecies within the elves;
And because there are so few elves in the world today, Master Laurie's chances of "contacting" with various elf women are far less frequent than with human women. Therefore, the master can't tell which ethnic group this elf girl belongs to.

But in a word, she is a genuine and fake elf!
"Lord Lord, please think about it carefully..." Master Laurie patiently said, "...When you interrogated that mercenary deputy head Taibili, he said exactly, 'Flower of Abundance' Is it a fairy plant?"

"What he said at the time was that the chief of their 'Wild Wind' brought a rare elf variety 'Flower of Harvest'..." Xia Houyan frowned as he recalled, and halfway through, he realized the problem.

"Day!" he yelled.

Could it be that the so-called "rare elf species" does not refer to a species of elf plant, but a living elf?
But who the hell would be so brainless to call a sentient, thoughtful humanoid a "rare breed"?
Himmler? !
"So..." Xiahou Yan swallowed hard, pointed with trembling fingers to the girl who was talking to Alice not far away, and said in the same trembling voice, "...she is the so-called 'flower of abundance'? "

Master Laurie nodded painfully:
"I think she is an elf girl, and the word 'flower of abundance' must be a nickname for her, or some kind of rhetorical description... We should all misunderstand, after all, this title , it really looks like a kind of elf plant..."

Lord Lord's spirit is almost collapsed.

Originally wanted to steal elf plants from the Archduke of Houston in order to solve the food problem of the future territory, but it was self-defeating to get back a elf chick?
She doesn't look fucking delicious either! ! !

"Then, then, what should we do?" Mayor Joel was at a loss for words.

For this honest man who has been managing the town in Eagle's End, the racial concept of "elf" is too far away.

"If my guess is correct, she should be an elf slave captured by the Empire." Master Laurie pouted at the elf girl - the latter was listening to Alice with tears in her eyes, "Nowadays, Elves are a very rare race. They often live in seclusion in the eastern mountains and do not care about the world. Therefore, there are many mercenary groups and adventure teams, whose main business is to capture elf slaves - as you can see, the appearance of elves is very Handsome, which made them a sought-after item in the slave market and a favorite commodity for the imperial aristocracy."

Xia Houyan glanced at the pitiful elf girl who was kneeling on the ground not far away.

Think about it, what are those imperial nobles buying elf slaves for?

"So what is she doing to us? Is she going to sell it on the black market?" he asked.

"I don't think it's very good... First of all, I don't support this kind of behavior morally, and this is second, and the most important thing is, did you see that her neck has been branded with the unique mark of a slave! "Master Laurie said with a bitter face," She must have been registered as an elf slave like her, and we don't know where the Archduke Houston bought or robbed her— —If you just change her hands like this, it will attract unnecessary attention!"

"Should I return her to the Archduke Houston?" Clement said stupidly.

The other three stared at the death knight with eyes that looked at the mentally handicapped.

Clement bowed his head shyly.

"For now, the best way I can think of is to keep her in the team temporarily, and if there is a good opportunity, it will not be too late to change hands or find a way to deal with it - an elf slave is indeed valuable, It's a pity to let go like this!" Master Laurie pondered for a moment while pinching his beard.

Then, he handed Lord Lord a look that every man understands:

"Besides, this is a precious elf girl! If you keep her, maybe you can use it?"

"Why don't you die?" Xiahou was furious.

After Master Laurie's remarks, the conclusion is that this elf girl is useless to the current Igor family!
It’s a pity to sell and not be able to sell, and to let go;
Stay in the team as labor?Just rushing at her thin arms and thin legs, I'm afraid she won't be able to do any heavy work!
There is a saying that "you are full and warm and thinking about that", but the lord Xia Houyan, who is currently too poor and only wants to find a way out for his family, is obviously not so idle and debauched as to let her take up the job of an elf slave. to the point!
This elf girl is really a tasteless, unfortunate piece of chicken rib!

What I clearly want is elf plants, not elf girls... The Lord's heart is full of bullshit.

On the other hand, under the comforting words of Alice and Anjie, the elf girl had apparently calmed down.

Now, she's pitifully surrounded by a thick blanket, sipping weakly from a cup of hot ginger tea.

Seeing that Xia Houyan brought someone over, she immediately raised her head and stared at the black-haired boy with some vigilance.

From the descriptions of the female swordsman and the little maid, she had already learned that this young nobleman was the supreme leader of the entire team and the "beneficiary" who released her from the dark safe.

Although she was locked in the safe for more than ten days without food or drink, due to the special physique of the elf, she still retains enough physical strength to think, think, and think again!
The brain of this elf girl began to run rapidly:
What will the human nobles in front of them do to them?

For him, he should be regarded as the slave he robbed...

And what would a human do to an elf slave?
As a result, a wave of fear and despair quickly surged in the heart of the elf girl.

However, what made her a little puzzled was why the black-haired lord looked at her without any appreciation or desire for her beauty, but as if she was examining a piece of garbage or a piece of trash?
Am I that ugly?The elf girl was puzzled.

"You. What's your name?" Xia Houyan walked up to the elf girl, squatted down, and asked angrily.

"Wei...Wilf..." The elf girl replied weakly.

"'Flower of Abundance', is that your nickname?" The lord gritted his teeth and forced a smile.

"Yes, yes..." Wilf's face was a little red.

Lord Lord's great dream of "getting an elf plant and making a fortune" was completely shattered.

He turned his head and cursed silently.

"My name is Elliot Igor, I am the current head of the Igor family and the ruler of the territory—you should be considered my slave now, understand?" Xia Houyan sighed and said while clenching his brows.

"Yes, yes..." Wilf replied in a low voice.

Since being kidnapped from the mountains by those humans, branded on her neck and sold on the black market, she has accepted her identity.

What's more, the tall and burly black iron can and the sharp sword on the female swordsman's waist also made her have no idea of ​​resisting or running away.

"Very well, let me ask you, do you clean or do laundry?" Xia Houyan asked as kindly as possible.

"No, no..." Wilf blushed and lowered her head.

"Then do you know farming, weaving, forging, or any other craftsmanship?" Xia Houyan asked through gritted teeth.

"No, I don't understand..." Wilf stared pitifully at her new master.

"Then, do you have any, I mean any specialties?" Xia Houyan felt that he was losing patience.

"Uh..." Wilf tilted her head cutely, thinking for a long time, but couldn't come up with any answer.

Master Laurie noticed from the side that blue veins had appeared on the clenched fist of Lord Lord.

"Then you, dear Miss Wilf, what can you do as a slave?" Xia Houyan gritted his teeth.

"Able..." Wilf's pretty face flushed, unable to say why.

Master Laurie carefully assessed the Lord's anger level, and was ready to put a "calm spell" on him at any time to avoid a brain hemorrhage.

"Mother Xipi!" Xia Houyan stood up, his eyes full of despair.

It's really special to grab a piece of trash and bring it back!

Now he is really full of class hatred for the shameless imperial aristocracy and the Archduke of Houston - when you engage in the slave trade in the future, can you at least have some actual working ability?
Depend on!
"That..." Wilf, who was kneeling in front of him, whispered.

"What are you doing?" The lord lowered his head with a bad face.

"I-I'm a little hungry..." Wilf touched her pointed ears and said shyly, "...Do you have anything to eat? I want to eat some beef, bread, stew or something. By the way, it's better to come again. some juice..."

Master Laurie was quick-witted, and a "calm spell" smashed down on the lord.

……

That evening, outside Yanxi City, two people, one tall and one short, walked side by side.

Dozens of white knights lined up far behind, not to disturb their conversation.

The tall one is Archduke Grim Rosario, the great noble in the eastern border of the empire and the marshal of the eastern theater, "Blood Flower";

The short one is Baron Quentin, who came from a humble background, but has increasingly shown strategic genius in difficult times. Now he has climbed to the position of Chief of Staff of the Army.

After the two accompanied the Duke of Houston to the end of the luncheon, they took the Rosario White Knight Guards, said goodbye to the Duke, left Rock Creek City, and turned to the east.

The military situation of the Empire and the Glorious Federation in the Eastern Territory was urgent, and the key commanders in these two wars did not dare to leave their posts for too long.

"Grimm, what do you think?" Quentin still had a cynical smile on his face, but he couldn't hide the worry in his eyes.

Archduke Rosario knew what his old partner was talking about.

"Houston is lying." He said solemnly, "The theft of the 'Flower of Abundance' must have something to do with him."

"We should have choked this old man on the spot and forced him to confess!" Quentin's chief of staff said bitterly.

"We have no evidence after all..." Grand Duke Rosario shook his head and said with gloomy eyes, "I can only hope now that Houston stole the 'Flower of Abundance' just to enjoy the pleasure of the bed and give birth to an heir by the way. , rather than having any greater intentions..."

"What if?" Quentin asked flatly.

"If there is, then I will cut the blade of the orcs, and cut the pig-brained human nobles with the same sharpness." Grand Duke Rosario's words were as cold as his silver hair, "Houston is the best old thing. Don't forget, I haven't avenged Vincent Igor's revenge yet..."

"Vincent..." Speaking of this familiar name, Quentin's chief of staff also felt a little emotional, "I don't know how his youngest son is doing recently."

"I wish him good luck." Archduke Rosario sighed.

With a loud whistle, the two men who supported the Imperial Ca Mau in the bloody turmoil in the east, galloped on their horses over the vast wasteland.

As the sun went down, their shadows dragged long on the ground.
