MC's career as foreign lord
Chapter 47: Surprise at the Meeting
“Cough, cough!” Mossa reined in the aura of death he was unconsciously emitting. This was actually one of the reasons why undead creatures were unwelcome.
Fortunately, his body was intact, and he had a piece of clothing draped over him. Even though it was a brown robe, it didn't seem strange when worn over his skin. The body shrouded under the robe could only be seen as a mass of shadows.
It wasn't intentional on his part. It was just that his body was covered with that state in Zhou Ren's territory, and no one noticed his chill during the war, so this essential undead matter was delayed.
Speaking of which, is this a sequela of living alone for too long? Mossa thought to himself, as he had been living alone for hundreds of years and hadn't thought about doing anything else.
And when he was in the Underdark, everyone was a dark creature. Lacking some ability would only invite ridicule or even robbery. So, he had kept his icy aura active all the time.
But now that he was in human society, he had indeed made a slight mistake that he shouldn't have made. Mossa became slightly alert, changed to a calmer state of mind, and walked towards the counter.
“Is he the owner of that mysterious territory? A powerful mage?”
“A high-level professional! I was on the scene last night. Only a high-level professional could do that!”
“Bah! Who are you looking down on? The brother of my uncle's second aunt's third cousin's nephew's close cousin is a high-level professional, but he doesn't have such power. I think he's clearly a quasi-legendary!”
“Hiss! Stop talking! Does this lord accept followers? I'm a great cook!”
“Lord? No, no, no. My brother, who was on duty next to Town Chief Locke yesterday, said that this mage came to the battlefield mainly to keep the noise from disturbing his master's rest!”
“Master? This great mage, this high-level professional, is actually this lord's servant? This…”
Although there was a moment of silence, the crowd was still whispering. It seemed impossible to change this habit of the mercenaries, but they had learned to respect the strong.
Mossa's arrival naturally caused a slight change in the situation in the entire guild.
This building, which was originally built temporarily, had nothing special about it, but it was unexpectedly quiet at this moment.
Mossa walked forward slowly.
The crowd parted around Mossa like a hot knife through butter. “I'm here to collect my lord's reward. I don't know which direction to go?”
His voice was hoarse and piercing, not pleasant at all, but it had a strange magic that made everyone's eyes shift to the only front desk.
“There!” he said, taking a step. The next moment, he had already arrived at the front desk, scaring the elf sitting there!
The little elf didn't look very old and didn't seem to have seen much of the world. She was so frightened that she was trembling, but she still completed her task well, handing Mossa a form.
“This… this is the reward voucher. You can take it to the church entrance to collect it!” Her voice sounded like she was about to cry, indicating that Mossa had indeed put a lot of pressure on her.
Mossa, who was trying to integrate into this society, didn't mind. Although he had been away from elf society for a long time, he could still see the basics. The little girl was definitely fine. Maybe after he left, this could become her bragging rights with her girlfriends!
“Your Excellency, wait!” Just as Mossa was about to turn around and leave, he was stopped by a middle-aged man who came in a hurry.
“I am Brown Bryant, the chairman of the Mercenary Guild of Pine Leaf Town!” He held out his hand.
Mossa didn't move. His hand was like withered bones, and taking it out would probably have the opposite effect. “Mossa, the lord's servant.”
According to his status, he couldn't call Zhou Ren by his name, or even say his surname, so he could only use the title of lord.
Fortunately, Brown knew exactly who he was talking about, and his heart tightened. As expected, a person like Zhou Ren couldn't be alone. This was the real foundation!
“So it's Your Excellency Mossa!” Brown said. “Is there anything you need? I can help Master Zhou Ren!”
Mossa nodded, not being pretentious. These people rarely had any pretense. “My master is looking for a mercenary named Werner. They are looking for some rare things for my master. If you see them…”
Brown immediately nodded. “Send someone to find the members of this mercenary group!” Then he looked at Mossa and said, “If there is any news, I will ask the town chief's secretary to send a reply to your master.”
Although in Silvermoon City, elven notes were not valuable, in Val City, only professionals could receive such things. As a poor intermediate mage, Brown had invested all his money in learning and really didn't have any spare money to buy these sundries.
Mossa didn't know what a reply meant, but he thought it should be a good thing, nodded, and then left.
He still needed to rush to see Jim's situation. He had to accomplish the things Zhou Ren had instructed him to do one by one.
The chill had disappeared, but the figure Mossa left behind had not dissipated as a result, but had become even more intense.
“Is this the person who single-handedly eliminated the entire monster army? Is this a mage?” The mercenaries sighed. Few of them were mages, so in their hearts, this profession had always carried a strong sense of mystery.
But Brown's thoughts were obviously completely different from theirs. What he was thinking about was: “Uncontrollable chill? Locke said last night that he was a plastic energy mage proficient in both ice and fire. Now it seems… I'm afraid he's a quasi-legendary!”
He himself was an intermediate mage professional, so he naturally knew that one of the characteristics of a quasi-legendary was the external release of magic attributes. After reaching this level, they could, in a sense, break away from the shackles of the magic net. (Note: I will also put the description of the magic net in the related works. Remember to remind me if you don't see it.)
So Brown quickly left. The Mercenary Guild was not affiliated with the Silvermoon Empire, and he naturally had his own ideas, so he didn't plan to make this matter public.
“Dragons, princesses, mages… it's getting more and more lively here! I wonder if other big shots will have any ideas about this place?”
The murmur from the Mercenary Guild didn't last long before the roar from Val City resounded throughout the arena!
“Dragon! That's a dragon! That's an ancient dragon!” The elven city lord's roar resounded throughout the arena, and everyone around, whether elf or human, was silent, except for the two beautiful girls beside him who were talking as if no one else was there.
“You said that fruit can purify magic power, is that really true?” Anna asked in surprise.
Sia nodded, clenching her small hands. "Yes, yes, even though I'm stuck at the threshold of quasi-legendary, I can still feel my strength increasing. Being able to cast spells without using the magic net is proof!"
"Ah! I'm starting to regret it!" Anna said, annoyed. "I should have taken him directly to Dragon Island. You elves have picked up a great treasure!"
"Alright, don't say things like that!" Sia patted her. "The elders of the clan are still in the astral plane holding a meeting! When the meeting is over, you can bring up the benefits!"
"Okay, okay! I haven't even lived in the house Zhou Ren decorated for me yet! When can I go back!" Anna said dejectedly. She really didn't want to attend this stupid meeting.
But as the former executive, she had to participate in this meeting and attend Sia's executive power handover ceremony.
"Alright! Admit what needs to be admitted, deal with what needs to be dealt with, now let's talk about what to do next?"
In front of the two women was the administrative meeting of Val City. The roaring city lord had finally calmed down and was speaking to the silent people in front of him.
Several elven guards took some panicked lords, town chiefs, and others away for processing. Judging by their expressions, this didn't seem like a good thing.
Don't think that just because the elves are peaceful, leisurely, and love nature, they won't be ruthless. This is a terrifying race that fought its way out of thousands of worlds and has held the power of the main world for tens of thousands of years. After experiencing the suppression of the gods and five continental civil wars, it can still stand at the top of the continent.
Even the dragons, unless all of them truly gather together, would still not be a match for the elves. But dragons are greedy, selfish, and arrogant creatures, so such a situation is impossible.
Therefore, the most profound emotions in the elven race are still cruelty and indifference. How can one rule the world without power?
Those who deserted in the face of battle and abandoned their territory, those who abandoned a large number of elves and human commoners, are simply not worthy of being nobles!

"Stop dreaming, the Church will take full responsibility for this matter, no one will be able to escape by luck!" The city lord said, seemingly to dispel their thoughts. "In one day, we lost two territories and four towns! That dragon hasn't even attacked yet, and only six territories are left in the south! The Northern Wilderness only has one left!"
"You must come up with a plan for me today. If the elders of the Empire come here, everyone will be thrown into the Forbidden Forest!"
The city lord then sat down angrily, looked at Princess Sia beside him, and sighed. "Your Highness, there haven't been any major incidents in twenty years, this incident has really exposed too many problems!"
Sia nodded. "That's exactly why I came here, Lord Harfari!"
"I hope Your Highness can give us time, these places will be taken back one by one!" Harfari said. "Your Excellency Antinoya, I hope you can give us some time too!"
Anna yawned. "If you have anything to say, talk to your princess. I'm not interested. Right now, I just want to know, what's the origin of that dragon?"
"According to the predictions of the mages in our city, there is no news from the lava lands and frost lands in that wilderness, and there are no signals from the thunder lands and swamp lands. Only the poisonous land has some news!" Harfari said.
Anna nodded. "Same as the news I got, there's a green dragon there. Looks like it's a legendary green dragon!"
"Ancient green dragon, no wonder the elders are coming!" Sia also said. "Try to switch to defense! Before the elders arrive, we can't have too much contact with this green dragon..."
Harfari hesitated and said, "But, Your Highness, all the towns facing the wilderness have been destroyed, but there's one that's still on the front line!"
"Which one?" Sia was stunned, looking at Harfari's expression with some surprise, and tentatively asked, "It can't be..."
"You guessed right, Pine Leaf Town, located at the forefront of the defense line, should have been the most severely hit town, but it's still intact..." Harfari was also very puzzled.
"The other two towns were overwhelmed and began to flee after only three mid-level professionals came. But in Pine Leaf Town, we estimate that at least one high-level, or even two high-level professionals have joined!"
"And the town chief of Pine Leaf Town, Locke, the president of the guild, Brown, and the priest Hawari are only mid-level. You weren't even there, but they didn't fall last night!" Harfari said worriedly, "I'm afraid they've all gone to see Lord Corellon!"
"Haha!" Anna laughed. "Impossible, the mark I left there is intact, which means Pine Leaf Town is still fine!"
"Then..." Sia suddenly said, feeling a little uneasy, "If the elders come, will we still have the capital to talk to them on equal terms?"
"Why not? You are elves!" Anna said. "Even weaker gods may not have the basis to talk to you on equal terms."
"According to the information, a quasi-legendary aura appeared there last night!" Sia didn't speak, but a scroll of information appeared in her hand. "This is the news from Silvermoon City."
"A quasi-legendary suspected of being proficient in both ice and fire?" Anna glanced at the information and shouted, pointing at the information, "You call someone who froze nearly a hundred miles of land and then burned it to ashes a quasi-legendary?"
"That book of his, or rather the two books he's holding, have strange powers that can greatly amplify his magic. Last night, someone discovered that he didn't even connect to the magic net, he just used the power of that book!" Sia said. "What did you think of?"
"The Book of All Laws!" Harfari exclaimed, "Impossible, everyone knows the Book of All Laws is in Ioulaum's hands! Then what is this..."
A look of desire appeared in his eyes. "A new Book of All Laws?"
"But, he has two such books!" Sia said again. "This person is just Zhou Ren's servant, so could this book be given by Zhou Ren?"
"God-like methods, now I somewhat agree with your statement!" Anna said. "How does Zhou Ren have so many good things? No, I have to go back and see!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she disappeared in front of the two women.
"Anna!" Sia shouted, "City Lord Harfari, I'll leave the matters here to you!"
"Tell the elven elders that we'll be waiting for them in Pine Leaf Town!" She left in a hurry, carrying a little girl with a bear on her head, and quickly left.
"Aunt Anna runs so fast!" Leah clapped her hands. "Teacher, hurry up and catch up! Catch up with Auntie!"
