Chapter 293 294. Archon 2

Instructor Nora walked over from the camp with an elf guard and said to Roy who was doing stretching exercises:

"Roy, Lord Griffin wants to see you."

Roy stopped, wiped the sweat from his face with a towel, and asked with some confusion:

"Instructor, are you talking about Lord Griffin, the leader of the negotiation team? Why did Lord Griffin come to me?"

Instructor Nora turned to look at the elf guard beside him and replied:

"I didn't say anything specific. I guess it's to praise you. After all, I've caught so many slave traders. It's said that the negotiations went very smoothly in the last two days. Go quickly and don't keep Earl Griffin waiting. "

Roy quickly adjusted his training clothes and said, "Oh, I got it."

Then Roy followed the elf guard to a luxurious carriage. The elf guard came forward and knocked on the carriage door and said, "Your Majesty, Roy is here."

"Let him in."

An old elf's voice came from the carriage.

The elf guard opened the carriages and gestured to Roy to come in.

Roy was looking at this carriage. Usually he didn't pay much attention to these carriages in the negotiation team. Now it seems that there are actually big differences between these carriages. Take this carriage as an example, it seems ordinary. , but there are very exquisite decorations on many details, especially the carvings and decorations on the outside of the carriage, which are almost all extremely exquisite dark carvings.

Roy could not recognize the family emblem on the carriage. The emblem was engraved with a flying hippogryph. This kind of monster is now very rare in the Elf Continent. Most of the hippogryphs are raised by the elven nobles...

Roy looked down at his shoes and got into the car.

From the outside, this carriage looked nothing special. It was similar to some four-wheeled carriages seen in Castletown.

But when Roy walked into the carriage, he realized that the space inside was as big as four or five carriages. It was obviously the space magic mastered by the elves.

There is a living room inside the carriage. When you look into the carriage through the window from the outside, you can actually only see a row of seats at the edge of the living room. The space of the carriage extends back along the luggage rack of the carriage.

There are four long rows of sofas in this living room, and there are several single soft leather sofas in the corners. There is a marble coffee table in the center. Even if there are more than a dozen elf officials gathering here, there will be no problem.

In addition to the living room, there is obviously a bedroom inside.

An old elf dressed in aristocratic clothing was sitting alone on the sofa, reading a report. There was also a cup of steaming tea on the coffee table.

Roy walked into the car. The old elf raised his head and pointed to the sofa opposite for Roy to sit down.

"Sit down, young man, your name is Roy?"

"Yes. Count Griffin."

Roy sat on the soft sofa and touched the leather of the sofa with his hands. The leather was as soft as water. It even had ripples when he sat on it. It was impossible to tell what kind of leather it was made of.

Earl Griffin stared at Roy with a pair of wise eyes. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he had a strong aura of superiority.

Roy's breathing became calmer and he asked Count Griffin: "Your Majesty, what do you want from me?"

"Of course, I usually like to chat with young people. This allows me to find those long-lost youth. But today I invite you to come to me because I have some questions I want to ask you." Earl Griffin smiled gently.

"Roy, I heard that you were born in Castleton City?" Earl Griffin asked casually.

"Yes, my mother is the Silver Moon Elf from Castletown."

"Then did you go to school?" Earl Griffin continued to ask.

"We are currently studying at Castletown Elf Academy. Our adventure group is composed of academy instructors and students. We only go on adventure trips during holidays. This time we came to the Partington plane at the invitation of Earl Swinburne. Came to investigate the hidden slave traders among the rebels." Roy answered honestly.

Earl Griffin nodded and said to Roy: "You have done a good job and provided a lot of help for our negotiations. Usually in the academy, the courses in various subjects must be very tense, right?"

"Well...it's true, there is almost no free time." Roy answered honestly.

"It's good to be able to enrich yourself through learning..."

Roy chatted vaguely with Count Griffin about his life, and then Count Griffin ended the conversation.

There is no reward as Nora calls it...

Roy didn't understand. Could it be that Earl Griffin met him just to chat about some family matters?

…

After seeing Roy off, Earl Griffin thought for a long time alone in the carriage. It wasn't until he raised his head again that he ordered the elf guard outside the carriage:

"Inform the other negotiators and ask them to come to me."

"Yes, Lord Griffin."

The guard got the order and quickly called for six other negotiators.

Not long after, six negotiators came to Lord Griffin's carriage one after another. Among these negotiators, only Viscount Euphelia was a lady. She got on the carriage and glanced at Lord Griffin. He immediately guessed what the Earl was thinking.

The other negotiators were confused as to why Earl Griffin called everyone together.

Some people even think that Earl Griffin wants to put pressure on the rebels tomorrow to make them give up the idea of ​​rejecting the Silver Moon Elf nobles as consuls.

In the territory of Silver Moon Elf, how can we refuse Silver Moon Elf to serve as consul? This is simply ridiculous.

Everyone sat down on the sofa one after another, and Viscount Augsburg said to Earl Griffin:

"These rebels are so shameless. Not only do they harbor slave traders, but they also reject the managers of the Silver Moon elves. What do they want to do? Isn't it enough to have a piece of public territory? These greedy guys should use Teach them a lesson with whips and sticks..."

"Earl Griffin, now that I have investigated the actual combat strength of this rebel army, as long as a regular army is dispatched, it will be very easy to eliminate these rebels."

After Viscount Augsburg finished speaking, he bowed slightly to Count Griffin.

Viscount Euphilia stood up angrily and said: "I know... We want to eliminate this rebel army at no cost, and we don't need to deal with them here boringly... But... we Why are you still negotiating with them here?”

"This is a dispute between the elves. If it can be resolved peacefully, there is no need to start a war." A negotiator next to Viscount Euphilia replied.

"Furthermore, this is a rich plane with lush forests. It is rich in all kinds of magical herbs. Once a war breaks out here, it will be difficult to return to its original prosperity in the next few decades." Viscount Euphilia continued.

"We can mobilize the army to completely destroy this place, but who will build it next? Me? You? Or everyone here?"

"Once these mixed elves are imprisoned, Padstow may slowly become an empty city..." Viscount Euphilia spoke passionately.

The other negotiators sat around and said nothing.

However, most of the negotiators still fully agreed with Viscount Euphelia's view.

"Now, the difference between us and the rebels is here! Because of the slave trade incident in Padstow City, they no longer trust the governor of the Silver Moon Elf, and it is impossible for us to let a mixed-blood elf serve as this The governor of a small town, so how do we choose a governor?"

"How about we find a Dark Moon Elf or Wood Elf to serve as the consul here!" One negotiator suggested.

"I agree with this!" Other negotiators expressed their opinions one after another.

Viscount Euphilia frowned and said, "It's already chaotic enough. Do we need Dark Moon Elves and Wood Elves to join in?"

Earl Griffin knocked on the table. Seeing that all the negotiators had stopped arguing, the Earl said: "Everyone can recommend some candidates for the town administrator... Viscount Augsburg, do you have a suitable mayor?" Candidate?"

"Sorry, Count Griffin, I don't have a suitable candidate for the time being." Viscount Augsger waved his hand quickly.

Earl Griffin put his hands on his knees, glanced at Viscount Euphilia, and then said: "As Viscount Euphilia just said, we want to restore the former prosperity of the Partington plane, not Give up here completely, that’s why we came here to negotiate with them..."

Having said this, Earl Griffin's eyes fell on Viscount Euphelia's face.

Viscount Euphelia immediately understood what Count Griffin was thinking, immediately stood up from the sofa, and said to Count Griffin:

"Lord Earl, I have a suggestion. In fact, there is a half-elf named Roy in our negotiating team. I would like to recommend him as the first mayor of Barrier Town."

Viscount Augsger frowned and asked Viscount Euphilia: "Roy...why did a half-elf sneak into our negotiating team?"

"They are members of the investigation team arranged by Earl Swinburne of the Seventeenth Legion." Viscount Euphelia explained.

Hearing the name Earl Swinburne, the surrounding negotiators paused. Everyone was thinking about one thing again. Could this half-elf named Roy be deliberately arranged by Earl Swinburne?

"As far as I know, Miss Christine Swinburne is also in this investigation team, and Roy is a good friend of Miss Christine..." Viscount Euphelia's information once again detonated the whole room.

The carriage suddenly became very quiet, and everyone looked at Viscount Euphelia.

After a few seconds, everyone raised their hands and said:

"I agree!"

"agree……"

Only then did Earl Griffin clear his throat and said to everyone: "Okay...tomorrow we will just like them propose the candidate for the new town consul."

After saying this, Earl Griffin stopped talking.

The negotiators also said goodbye and left...

…

At this time, Roy, who was squatting beside the camp fire and roasting a pineapple, never expected that he had been nominated to become the Archon of Bulwark Town.

He put the pineapple tree crown into the fire and asked instructor Nora sitting next to him:

"Instructor, you see we have found the slave traders in the rebel army. When can we return to Castletown?"
