Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 2029 Purely Asking for a Beating (Bonus Chapter for Accumulated 600 Monthly Tickets)
Inside the Elf King's castle, listening to the report from the chieftain of the grassland elves, Wright was truly at a loss for what to do.

Should we blame the chieftain of the grassland elves before us?
In fact, this has always been the way the Elven race operates.

He can't enjoy the ease this model brings when nothing goes wrong, and then start dealing with these clan leaders as soon as something happens, can he?

Wright's moral compass prevented him from doing something like that.

According to the clan chief, the Great Zhou also asked the elves in their clan to come back to him for confirmation, and even required his signature before the application could be approved.

What else can you say?
The whole thing is that the elves in their tribe wanted to go to the Great Zhou, but the Great Zhou required that they would only accept them if the elves agreed.

Things have come to this point, so even if there is a problem, it's your problem.

Given this premise, should he stop his people from applying to become citizens of the Great Zhou Dynasty?

"Chief, you just said that there are more and more elves wanting to join the Great Zhou recently?"

"Yes."

The chieftain of the grassland elves nodded.

"However, I have temporarily turned down all the people who have come to me for signatures recently. We will wait until Your Majesty makes a decision."

Hearing this, Wright felt an even bigger headache.

He's not stupid. He didn't become the Elf King for nothing all those years. He had already agreed to everything, and many elves have now officially become citizens of the Great Zhou.

If he were to suddenly issue an order prohibiting the remaining elves from joining the Great Zhou, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the remaining tribesmen.

Meanwhile, many elves are already living in the cities of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and all they need now is the status of a formal citizen.

Now that he's given this order, what are you expecting the elves to think?
If they are dissatisfied and act recklessly, they might refuse to return to the Great Zhou. What should he do then?

Was he going to contact the Great Zhou and ask them to cooperate in sending all of their elven people back to the elven forest?
If they did that, things would inevitably get worse, and their relationship with Da Zhou might also be in trouble, which put Wright in a real dilemma.

With that in mind, he simply summoned all the clan chiefs and elders from various villages to discuss the matter.

Upon inquiry, it was discovered that similar cases of elves applying to become official citizens of the Great Zhou Dynasty were occurring in various villages.

However, in the grassland elf village, perhaps because Jenny's family took the lead, the influence was particularly great, and subsequently, there were many more applications to become official citizens of the Great Zhou.

Second only to the grassland elf village is the wood elf village, where the Great Zhou's wood elf mage corps is currently staying.

John and Sion renovated the wood elf elder's house, and now the wood elf elder treats them better than his own grandchildren, which is no secret in the elven forest.

After all, that damned old man had already called them all over to show off over the years.

Looking back now, after sorting things out, wasn't that boastful old bastard the real culprit behind everything?

"Why are you all looking at me? I just invited you all over for tea and a chat, what did I do?"

"Or is it wrong for John and Said to renovate my house?"

The wood elf elder's two questions immediately caused all the old elves present to avert their gazes, their expressions unconsciously revealing a hint of guilt.

How are they supposed to respond to that?
They said John and Said shouldn't have been so nice to him?
If you actually said that, then you were saying it a second ago, and the Wood Elf Elder's staff would be hitting you in the face the next second. You'd be asking for a beating.

Even from their perspective, it's hard to say anything is wrong; in fact, they all feel a bit envious.

Ultimately, it was precisely because they envied that they went back and talked to their children and grandchildren about whether they could renovate their own old house.

Who would have thought that instead of making money to renovate the old house, these brats would move their whole family to Da Zhou?

Well, the houses over there are indeed no longer damp, the living space is more spacious, and even the furniture is no longer moldy. Thinking about it, even they themselves are tempted. Who would want to come back?

Is there really anyone in this world who, given the opportunity, would choose to live in a cramped, damp, and inconvenient old house in the forest instead of a spacious, comfortable, and convenient place?

Thinking of this, the old elves present were even more speechless. Feeling the silence in the room, Wright was completely helpless.

Just then, a voice came in.

"Big brother, I'm back! Did you need me for something?"

At that moment, shouting as he strode in, was none other than Wright's younger brother, Prince Morton.

It was summer, and at that moment, Prince Morton walked in casually, wearing a floral shirt, matching floral shorts, flip-flops, and a large straw hat for sun protection.

Even in the Great Zhou Dynasty, this outfit would be quite conspicuous, let alone in the Elf Forest, where it would be completely out of place.

"What are you wearing?"

Looking at his younger brother, Wright couldn't help but put one hand to his forehead and cover his eyes in the process.

It's so offensive, I can't bear to look.

Prince Morton, however, disagreed.

"You don't understand, this is the trend this year, it's called tropical island style."

"..."

Wright was speechless, but knowing his brother's personality, he didn't bother to dwell on his brother's clothes and simply made a comment.

“Over the years, it hasn’t been easy for me, as your older brother, to see you.”

"No way! Didn't we just see each other a while ago?"

Upon hearing this, Wright subconsciously calculated the date in his mind.

Hmm, about three years ago...

For the elves, this time was indeed a while ago.

Come to think of it, he never realized that three years was actually quite a long time.

Wright didn't dwell on the question; instead, he quickly got to the point...

"I called you back this time to ask about the situation in the Great Zhou, and also because some things have happened in the clan recently."

Upon hearing this, Prince Morton quickly realized what was happening.

"I think I know. Is it because some elves in our clan have recently applied to join the Great Zhou?"

"How did you know?"

"They've been talking about it in the teahouses in the city lately."

This saved Wright the trouble of explaining.

What's your opinion on this?

"What can I say? Well, Zhou Rizi is doing better, so everyone wants to go for it. What else can I say?"

Prince Morton looked completely innocent.

"Instead of that, brother, do you think I could apply to join the Great Zhou?"

"..."
