Chapter 295 296. Archon 4

(This chapter will not be divided today)

Earl Griffin didn't even look at Roy who was standing at the square table. He focused his attention on the rebel leader Addison Caesar.

The negotiators of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom were also eyeing the rebel leader. It was he who proposed to the negotiators of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom two days ago that a non-Silver Moon Elf would be needed for the future construction of the barrier town here. A descendant of the Archon.

He hoped that the negotiators of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom could make concessions and that Andy Sensize would compensate in other aspects.

In this way, this barrier town will slowly turn into a real mixed-race elf town in the future, just like the town of Partington.

But he never expected that the old-fashioned and mean-looking Count Griffin would actually choose to recommend a young half-elf.

Anderson Nishizawa squinted his eyes and looked at Roy's young face, his expression was a little uncertain, and other rebel officials also had very bad expressions.

Last night they were still discussing together how to convince the negotiators of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom to get the Archon of Barrier Town.

"Roy is qualified for the job of consul. You can't make a conclusion now. You won't know until after he takes office. If you have no other doubts, can this resolution be passed?" Viscount Euphilia took the opportunity to ask. .

Andy Sensizer looked at the rebel leaders beside him and asked in a low voice: "What do you think?"

One of the rebel leaders frowned and did not say: "Since the governor of Barrier Town is a half-elf, I hope that other positions in the town hall will be filled by half-blood elves..."

Viscount Euphilia quickly said: "How is this possible? It's obviously you who proposed that the town governor be a non-Silver Moon Elf, so the town officials should have half-blood elves and half-elves occupying half of the positions. Of course, You only have the right to recommend, and as for the right to appoint... it should be in the hands of the new consul Roy."

"In such a remote plane town, no Silver Moon Elf would be willing to work in the barrier town..."

The two sides once again launched a new round of negotiations, and the candidate for the consul was determined.

Rebel leader Andy Sensizer sat in the center of the long table with his hands clenched on the table.

He suddenly realized that if this article was passed, the peace talks would be over and the implementation phase would then begin.

Feeling a little discouraged at this moment, he closed his eyes...

After his negotiation, he will face a trial at the Tribunal of the Silver Moon Elf Elder Council. It can be said that if nothing unexpected happens, he may not be able to leave the Parram Island Prison in his life.

This time he led the mixed-blood elf rebel army to resist the tyranny of the Silver Moon Elf noble lords, which may be recorded in the annals of modern elf history.

But for Andy Sensizer, the rest of his life could turn out to be extremely dark.

Opening his eyes again, he looked at Count Griffin and said, "I hope that the Silver Moon Elves can provide material support for the next reconstruction project of Barrier Town."

"Of course, the aid supplies include food, building materials, construction tools, etc. These supplies will be delivered by the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion to the new consul for unified deployment." Earl Griffin agreed happily.

Andy Sensizer stood up from his chair, and the other rebel leaders also stood up...

Earl Griffin asked the clerk at the conference table to bring over the drafted "Barrier Village Peace Negotiation Agreement." The ink on the last page of the treaty had not yet dried.

As Andy Sensizer signed the peace treaty, other rebel leaders also signed their names on it.

Earl Griffin looked at the peace treaty with a hint of pride in his eyes, remembering the worries of His Majesty James before leaving. Now that the mixed-blood elf problem has been successfully resolved, the burden on his shoulders suddenly relaxed.

The face full of wrinkles and serious expression finally showed a faint smile.

…

After the rebel leader Andy Sensizer signed the peace agreement, he was formally arrested by two elf warriors. Under the silent gaze of a group of rebel leaders, he staggered away from the command post.

Other rebel leaders have also returned to their residences to pack their luggage. Although they have not been liquidated by the Silver Moon elves for the time being, everyone does not want to live in the barrier village. Most of these rebel leaders are elf hunters who hang out in the jungle. Now After the rebels are disbanded, they will return to their old profession.

The peace treaty was immediately announced in the Barrier Village. Although the Silver Moon elves made a promise that they would not liquidate the mixed-blood elves in the rebel army, a large number of mixed-blood elves still left the Barrier Village in droves.

Many mixed-blood elves who originally planned to live in the barrier village were also frightened by these mixed-blood elves who evacuated the barrier village...

There are also some mixed elves living in Padstow City who are beginning to plan how to return to Padstow City.

The 17th Silver Pegasus Legion quickly posted some notices on the bulletin board at the entrance to the barrier village. It clearly stated that the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion had set up thirteen rescue stations on public lands for the purpose of returning to Pardes. The mixed-blood elves in the city will provide food supplies along the way. If you encounter a monster attack, you can also go to the rescue station to seek help from the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion.

Many mixed-blood elves have become a little confused, and no one knows how the future will go.

A part of the rebel army left the barrier village. They will return to the jungle and continue to live their life as hunters. This time the Silver Moon elves will set up all the land south of Padstow and north of the Griffin Barrier Mountains as a public domain for the mixed elves. Territory, the mixed elves can hunt and gather at will on this land.

Another part of the rebels will stay in the Barrier Village. This jungle is close to the Barrier Mountains. It is rich in resources of Warcraft and magical herbs. However, because the rebels have been stationed in the Barrier Village for nearly half a year, almost all the nearby fruit trees and berries have been collected. If the elves want to get something to eat, they need to go further into the jungle to collect it. Of course, there are benefits. All the monsters that threaten the elves in this area have long since migrated to other places.

There are also some rebels who will return to Padstow City. These mixed elves have tree houses in Padstow City. They have become accustomed to city life. During their time in the Barrier Village, they miss Padstow extremely. Stowe.

The rebel army disbanded at the barrier village, and the elf warriors of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion quickly took over the barrier village.

…

Roy walked out of the somewhat dirty command post, still unable to accept that he had become the governor of Barrier Town.

It seems that from the beginning to now, no one has asked Roy if he wants to serve as the governor of the barrier village.

Roy thought about how Earl Griffin had summoned him yesterday afternoon. He seemed to have just chatted about some household matters, and even asked him about his life in Castletown City, but that did not say anything about letting him serve as the consul of the Barrier Village.

He is studying at the Elf Academy and studying divine arts at the Temple of Liberty. How can he have time to be the Archon of the Barrier Village?

The instructors had just heard the news, and they all came to Roy to ask him, why did he suddenly decide to become the consul of the barrier village?

Roy smiled bitterly and explained that he had just found out about this and it felt like a farce.

"Roy, Lord Griffin wants to see you, come with me." The three elf guards found Roy again and said to him.

"Let's go too..." Instructor Nora said.

After saying that, the instructors followed Roy to Count Griffin's carriage. Instructor Nora wanted to follow Roy into the carriage, but was stopped by the elf guard with his arm.

"Let them all come in." Earl Griffin's voice came from the carriage.

The instructors and Roy walked into the carriage. Count Griffin pointed to the sofas around him and asked Roy and the instructors to sit down.

"Are you a little surprised by this decision, and do you feel that we made such a decision without asking for your consent, and you still don't understand?" Earl Griffin leaned on the sofa, with a faint smile on his old face, like that He seemed very amiable.

"I don't understand a little bit. After all, I wasn't notified of this matter in advance." Roy replied tactfully.

"Haha, actually before we negotiated this morning, we were not sure how the rebels would react, and we couldn't give you any promises." Earl Griffin said calmly.

"I didn't expect that they actually agreed to our proposal and agreed to let you serve as the first governor of Barrier Town."

"I didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Of course, we don't think we need to communicate with you in advance. In fact, considering that you are still studying at the Elf Academy in Castletown, in fact, as the governor of Barrier Town, you are just a It's just a name. Of course, we don't rule out that you will serve as the governor of Barrier Town in the future, but during the construction of Barrier Town, we don't need you to do anything here. The 17th Silver Pegasus Legion will send special management personnel. , manage the barrier village as your assistant."

"Follow-up matters will be handled by the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion..."

Earl Griffin said frankly.

Hearing what Count Griffin said, Roy and the instructors breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that they were just using their own names.

After hearing the news, Roy felt a little disappointed in his heart.

Thinking that I am only one step away from the mayor...

"Okay, let's talk about it. You instructors followed Roy to my place. What do you want to tell me about the situation?" Earl Griffin's eyes fell on the faces of Nora and other instructors, and he said cheerfully. asked.

Instructor Nora quickly stood up and said sincerely: "After hearing what you said, we understood what was going on. Our purpose of coming to you is very simple. After all, I was the one who brought Roy to the Partington plane. I Be responsible for him."

Earl Griffin looked at Instructor Nora and nodded.

"Earl Griffin, since the peace talks have ended successfully, our purpose of coming with the group this time is to find the group of slave traders from the rebels. Now that we have successfully completed the task, we will leave the barrier village first and return. Castletown City." Instructor Nora said again.

"Of course, your adventure group has always been free." Earl Griffin said.

"Then, Earl Griffin, if you have nothing else to do, we will leave first."

After saying that, Instructor Nora led the adventure group and left Count Griffin's carriage.

Then Instructor Nora said goodbye to Captain Terrence. Instructor Nora did not intend to wait any longer in the Barrier Village.

Captain Terrence saw that the peace talks ended successfully and that he had no reason to continue to restrain the Elf Academy adventure group, so he nodded and agreed to the adventure group's departure.

Not only that, Captain Terrence will also continue to lend several horses provided by the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion to the adventure group. Instructor Nora only needs to return the horses to the 17th Silver Pegasus after arriving in Padstow City. Just go to the Logistics Office of the Cavalry Corps.

In the evening, Instructor Nora left the negotiation team camp on horseback with a group of adventure team members.

The horse Roy was riding had a large box tied to it and looked very clumsy.

Roy was riding Woods' original horse.

As for Woods, this time he did not leave the barrier village with the adventure group because his uncle lived in the barrier village.

After the peace talks were over, Woods found his uncle. The two discussed it and decided to live in the Barrier Village for a while and then participate in the reconstruction of the Barrier Village. The Archdruid, who had been hiding his identity, decided to become the mixed-blood elf of the Barrier Village. They provide some help.

Woods sent everyone a long way away before reluctantly returning to the Barrier Village.

…

Returning to Padstow City this time was very smooth.

Along the way, you can see groups of mixed elves returning to Padstow City. You only need to follow the group and walk north.

Moreover, the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion was worried that the food carried by these mixed elves was insufficient, so they set up several supply stations along the way, and the fruits here were provided free of charge.

Because a large number of elves appeared, the monsters living in the jungle were too scared to come forward, so there was no danger along the way.

The adventure group successfully arrived at Padstow, which was almost an empty city. When they sent the horses to the logistics office, the officials from the logistics office told them that Earl Swinburne was currently in Padstow and had specially ordered them to come down. , after the adventure group arrives in Padstow City, they must inform him.

Therefore, Instructor Nora did not return to Partington Island as soon as possible after getting the teleportation pass. Instead, he decided to stay in Padstow's hotel for one night.

Sure enough that afternoon, Count Swinburne's bodyguard found the hotel and invited everyone in the adventure group to go to the command post of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion, where Count Swinburne summoned everyone.

…

"You have done a very good job. You are indispensable for the smooth peace talks with the rebels this time."

Earl Swinburne was sitting on a chair, signing reports one after another, and spoke to everyone in the adventure group without raising his head.

An adjutant held a thick stack of reports and left carefully, for fear that the tall stack of reports would be scattered...

Everyone sat in the study and waited quietly. No one spoke. Even Miss Christine sat obediently on the chair. Everyone only occasionally communicated with their eyes.

After a while, Earl Swinburne finally finished signing the document.

He raised his head, stretched his somewhat stiff neck and arms, then stood up and led everyone out of the study.

This is a castle-like treehouse building with many rooms.

Earl Swinburne led everyone through the long suspended passage and arrived at a tree house opposite.

There are two guards guarding the door to this treehouse room.

When the guards saw Earl Swinburne, they quickly saluted the Earl. Earl Swinburne asked them to open the door, and then led everyone into the room.

There are more than a dozen rows of shelves in the room. Each row of shelves has five levels. They are filled with various types of suitcases. They look like high walls.

Moreover, the shelves are filled with various labels, and it looks like it should be a material warehouse.

And judging from the style of the suitcase, it seems that there should be some high-end goods stored in the suitcase.

Sure enough, at this time, I heard Earl Swinburne turning to everyone and saying:

"These are some of my treasured magical items on the shelf. You can all pick one you like and take it away."

The instructors all looked at the labels on the surrounding shelves. This kind of reward... no one would be polite to Earl Swinburne.

Roy planned to follow Instructor Eleanor. He felt that Instructor Eleanor would be able to find the best thing...

However, Earl Swinburne did not give Roy this chance. He stood at the door of the warehouse and shouted:

"Roy and Sabrina, come with me."

Roy and Sabrina stopped quickly. The instructors ignored them and went to find gifts suitable for themselves.

Only Miss Christine gave them both a look to follow quickly.

Roy and Sabrina were taken to a room next to the warehouse by Earl Swinburne. The room was not big and should be a lounge.

There was a leather suitcase on the ground, and Roy knew without opening the suitcase that it should contain a set of magic patterns.

His box containing the magic pattern structure is similar to the box on the floor...

Earl Swinburne stood at the door and said to the two men:

"Last time on Partington Island, you two saved Christine. I didn't express my gratitude to you two. In fact, I didn't expect any suitable gifts. This time Sabrina successfully promoted to sword dancer. , this gift is just for Sabrina.”

After speaking, he opened the box, and there was indeed a set of exquisite light brown leather armor inside.

This set of magic patterns is familiar to both of them. Many Silver Moon elves from wealthy families in the Elf Academy wear this kind of spiked tail crystal lion leather armor.

In addition to the magic pattern structure, Earl Swinburne also took two heavy swords with scabbards from the weapon rack, handed them to Sabrina, and then said:

"A set of thorn-tailed crystal lion leather armor, two Seruki swords, in addition to this, there is an apple orchard ten kilometers north of Padstow City. This is the title deed to the apple orchard. Don't be busy yet. reject……"

He took out a land deed from the desk nearby and handed it to Sabrina, then turned to look at Roy:

"Roy, as for your gift, this is it..."

Earl Swinburne produced another deed, but it was probably not a land deed.

Roy took the contract in his hand and took a serious look at it, only to realize that it was actually a letter of appointment as the Archon of Barrier Town, and Roy's name was already written on it.

Lord Swinburne smiled and said:

"No matter when, whether now, ten years from now, or twenty years from now, as long as you arrive at Barrier Town with this letter of appointment, you will be the governor of Barrier Town. The surrounding area of ​​Barrier Town belongs to public territory, and As a consul, you have no salary and can only get 30% of the town's tax revenue. This means that when the town's tax revenue is in deficit, it is very likely that you will have to pour money in... Roy, as for your desire to develop If you have an apple orchard, you have to find a way by yourself. As long as you can clean up the monsters in the Blackwater Swamp, the land there will be very fertile."

Roy was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect Earl Swinburne's thank you gift to be this.

"Okay, put your things away, let's go see what the instructors have chosen..."

After Earl Swinburne finished speaking, he turned and walked out of the room.
