Chapter 49

After Ophelia woke up, she immediately learned how Elino educated her son through the servants. Ophelia could only smile bitterly about Elino's simple and crude education method, and then complained that it was a disaster for men to take care of their children. After washing up for a moment, she went to coax her son. Listening to Elvin talking nonsense, Ophelia laughed out loud, and then hugged her son and went to Heidi's side.

Heidi's palace door is thicker, so Ophelia was very self-aware and did not lift her feet up, but waited for the servant to push the door open. The main door of the palace was rarely opened, and the servants and others walked through the side door next to it. Elinor usually didn't care about the superiority and inferiority, and he also walked through the side door. Generally, the main door would only be opened when Ophelia and Nanny came.

As the door slowly opened, the gold floor was covered with gold coins. In the middle of the ridge made of gold coins, a giant dragon lying there, opening his eyelids a little, then glanced to the side.

Ophelia was so angry that she gave Little Elvin to her follower

OK, you know I'm here to pretend! Change it back!

Heidi was locked in a human form and Elino had told Ophelia about this, so when someone came in, he thought it was true when he saw a dragon lying on a mountain of gold, Ophelia knew it, and Nanny could see that this was Heidi's little thought.

It was a response to Ophelia's trick that did not expose her in front of the servant. After a ray of light, Heidi lay lazily on the pile of gold coins.

Why do you have time to come to me today?

You are almost lazy and stealing!

Heidi was shot into a hedgehog on the battlefield of the Victor faction, so she was in a state of cultivation after she came back and didn't have to do anything every day. At meal time, servants would send grilled whole beefs and whole sheep. Every afternoon, a temple priest came to treat her at a designated afternoon. There would be a special masseur to massage in the evening. You could count gold coins to play with if you had nothing to do. If you could continue in this kind of life, Heidi could stay in the land forever, so naturally he would not want to move.

I was fatally injured at that time, so it doesn't matter if I take a break for a moment... Why are you looking at me like this? And I am a dragon, the concept of time is naturally different from that of humans.

Ophelia won't listen to Heidi's argument

Elinor is going out again, you have to follow

No, no, I won't go...

Heard Ophelia's words, Heidi drilled into the pile of gold coins, and then Ophelia grabbed her feet and dragged it out.

You dare! Don’t think that I don’t know that your injury has been cured long ago. You will not report to me as a priest in the temple!

Heidi was directly pointed out by Ophelia and her eyes turned around.

It's psychological trauma, psychological!

Ophelia grabbed Heidi's neck

Believe it or not, I will create more psychological shadows for you if you leave it. You also know that dragon scales are a good forging material. How much is the dream of a knight to wear a set of dragon scale suit!

Heidi immediately swallowed, she knew Ophelia might be able to do such a thing

The same is true for you to refuse to accompany him to your scales. We have dwarf allies, so we will definitely create a good set of dragon scale armor when we come to them. Of course, Elino doesn’t have to consider the cost of using it, right? It’s normal to use more scales, right!

I know, can’t I go with you? I will definitely follow you then!

Although Heidi is a dragon, her personality is not very tough. She will give in after a little force. Ophelia will succeed and will not stay for a long time. She comforted her and promised some benefits and left. She has other things to deal with.

Put on a sun hat, hold the child by himself, and two maids followed behind him. Who would have thought that this was the Duchess of Dia walking outside?

Do I want you to get things done?

Of course the two maids would not pick up Ophelia's words, and this was obviously not what they said.

That's of course

A voice rang aside, and the maids were not frightened. They were used to it.

Seeing Hongye holding a file bag in his hand, Ophelia nodded, and then signaled Hongye to follow him, she was going to see Fara

Farah, the envoy of the Elves to Williams Empire, can be said to be unwilling to be in Williams City...

The dwarves are completely opposite to the dwarves. Because they have a lot of trade with humans, the dwarves' character can be said to be quite generous without touching lightning. Merchants who seek dwarves and nobles who intend to establish some friendship with dwarves will often visit them. It can be said that people are coming and going.

As for elves, human attitudes are very subtle. First of all, elves have bad attitudes towards humans. Elf refuses to communicate with humans. Elf’s forest is called the Forest of No Return. Those who enter by mistake either disappear or are killed and discarded on the edge of the forest bell to warn humans not to enter at will.

Secondly, because of the long-term closure of the elves, the two sides have no trade deals. Humans have no idea what specialties elves have that humans need. Without demand, no one will come to visit.

Of course, elves are not completely unfavorable. Humans are still very interested in the longevity and appearance of elves.

However, the immortality of elves is born. As for the appearance of elves, there are still some semi-elves in the human world. Although there are few, they are almost the same as elves in appearance. Moreover, they live in the human world more humanized. Just look at Hongye to know

It doesn't matter if no one comes to visit Farah. After all, she was too lazy to deal with humans more, but because the mission given by the Great Elder was an envoy in the human world. Now, drinking tea every day and living leisurely is more in line with her expectations.

Lord Ophelia, why are you free to come to me today?

Don't say that so frankly, I will come to you at least once a month to taste tea, right?

Fara smiled and made a pot of tea for Ophelia. Ophelia picked up the teacup and took a sip, showing a satisfied look

Sure enough, the elves have a set in this regard

Thank you for your praise

Ophelia put down the teacup and looked at Farah seriously, which made Farah a little nervous for a moment

Ms. Farah Cutford, how long have you been to Williams?

Generally speaking, the full name is a more formal document on the mainland. Usually, the other party is called by the name to show closeness. Ophelia suddenly called her full name, which made Fara a little nervous.

Forehead……

Fara didn't know what Ophelia asked herself what this meant, and she didn't react.

Let's change the topic. What have you done in such a long time? What do you mean is that in addition to drinking tea leisurely here every day, or writing human social observation records, what else do you do as an envoy or a diplomat?

Fara lowered her head. Speaking of which, she has been stumbled over the years and did nothing...

I am not here to scold you today, because if you are not under my jurisdiction, whether your work is qualified should be judged by your elves themselves. At least your boss and your elders will judge whether your work is qualified. Even if you do nothing in the empire, it doesn’t matter. On some important festivals, I just need to give you an invitation letter and ask you to show your face. It can be used as part of our Williams Empire diplomatic achievements. The cost I paid is to provide a small place and a little maintenance fee. Just hang a sign at the door. Look, compare the dwarves. As a different race, the embassy of the dwarves has been expanded several times, which is a world of difference from yours.

Ophelia's words were righteous and stern, which made Fara feel a little uncomfortable for a moment. After all, the elder sent her out to restore a certain diplomatic connection with humans. He hoped that she would rely on her personal relationship with Elino to become a bond that communicates between humans and elves, and she can be said to have no idea at all now.

After all, she and Elino have no friendship. Until now, Elino probably forgot that she is like her. When she sees her words, she may say hello and say hello in a business way. She turns around and forgets, what can I do?

Climbing onto his bed like a human woman?

Stop kidding, I can't do that, and Elinor is not short of a few women

It is not appropriate to reason to let the elves engage in diplomacy. It is difficult for the elves with arrogant temperament to be as flexible as humans in communication with others. For humans, it is no big deal to show off their own advantages and admit defeats. For elves, it is better to let them die than to bow their heads...

If the elves are really the overlord of the mainland, then that's fine. The problem is that the elves can only hide in the Forest of No Return. Perhaps they are very strong individually, but for the human race, they are too weak and limited by the population. No matter how many times, even when human civilization is at a disadvantage, they will be forced back to the forest by human battles by humans.

It is hard to say that the elves' arrogance is their personal problem, but the entire elves' ethnic group. The former glory and strength of this race made them regard humans as ugly monkeys, barbaric, uncivilized, short-lived, and only a few elites in humans can barely communicate with them.

If an elf shows weakness in compromising and treating humans, opposition voices from within the elf will also drown him out.

Of course, there are also a few new generation of elves who think they should put down their past glory and embrace the world. However, these elves are usually denounced as being too young and immature.

I have no clue, and I don't know how to start the work...

Ophelia put down her teacup and smiled at Farah. As long as Farah falls into her own rhythm, this thing can basically be considered a success.

Even if you are building a personal friendship, you have done a bad job in this regard. Ellino has been running around over the years and you haven't shown any signs of it, so he is almost forgotten about you now. As for me, if I don't come, you probably wouldn't think of going to see who I am friends with.

Ophelia directly told Fara's current situation. Farah thought about it and could only shake her head, her face was slightly blushing. It was only someone else who could take the initiative to make friends with the elves. Don't expect the elves to take the initiative, so Farah can be said to have no friends until now...

Ophelia was embarrassed to see that Farah had already started to blush when she said it. She knew that it would be easy to arouse Farah's self-esteem and have a counterproductive effect after the stick was finished. It was time to give some candy and prepare to fool him, so she sighed in anger.

Do you know why your elders asked you to act as an envoy?

I... happened to meet Ellino so...

Ophelia stretched out her hand and waved her

You see the problem too superficial. Your elder is doing this. If there is no such thing, your elder will still send young people as diplomatic envoys in the process of trying to re-establish diplomatic relations with humanity. She is very clear about the problems faced by your elves and knows how stubborn the internal conservative forces are. So she can only hope that a young man like you cannot tell you clearly in front of a group of people that she has her difficulties. Just like me, facing so many noble officials below, I hope that they can't express their work, because they will resist or protest, and they can only use other methods in a corner, and you obviously have not thought and understood these things.

Then what should I do?

Fara was obviously moved by Ophelia. Young people always have this kind of rebellious and authority-oriented mind. When you carry her to that position, whether it is really or not, it can arouse her fighting spirit.

If I am an official, I am happy to see such a situation. After all, the elves are not clearly divided between the areas where humans live like dwarves. Both sides can do as little as possible and be mutually beneficial. From the perspective of a ruler, I do not want to see the elves resurrected. You should be clear about the reasons. But from a personal perspective, I can give you some suggestions, but I don’t know if you are willing to accept it.

Guan Fara nodded, Ophelia raised her hand and knocked on the table, Hongye walked out of the shadow, holding a stack of documents in her hand

Half-elf? Are you a red leaf?

Although Fara knew about Hongye, she had never seen him. After all, she didn't want to see half-elves. Half-elves can be considered a humiliation for elves. How can elves mate and give birth to other species?

As for Hongye, the same idea, what's wrong with the half-elves?

The elves have never been beaten by this world and hide in a greenhouse like the Forest of No Return. They are all goods with nostrils facing the sky. If they were not envoys who had the identity of an envoy, they would be able to kill her and throw them to the brothel for a few months to ensure that she would obey her in the future.

Under this kind of thinking, two people dislike each other and will naturally not meet

Do you have any objections to me? It doesn't matter, but you'd better not look at me with a high look, because I can't help but cut your throat with a knife, and make sure you're grateful to me the moment I cut your throat.

When Farana blurted out and spoke in a bad tone, Hongye pressed one hand on the dagger she carried with him, and her meaning was very direct. Don't seek death, you don't mind killing her.

Ophelia reached out to stop Hongye, signaling her to calm down, and then shocked her people, Ophelia looked at Farah again. After all, Farah's tone was not good.

Farah, sometimes you have to respect the diversity of species in this world. This doesn’t like it, and it doesn’t like it. Making enemies everywhere is not something a mature person or race should do, right? Of course, if you insist on your own opinion and feel that you can’t accept half-elves, then just pretend that I didn’t come today, and don’t look at that thing.

Fara knew that although Ophelia had always been polite to her, she was just polite. She heard a lot about her legend in the human world. She could be said to be cruel and ruthless when she was purged by the nobles. She meant that if she had read it, she had to do it. In the past, Fara might have sent the guests directly, but after Ophelia said this, she hesitated.

Fara knew Ophelia must use her, but if she could use her, it would be a good thing to make the relationship between humans and elves go up a step further. The relationship between races can benefit each other, that is the best, just like dwarves import food and wine from humans, humans import mineral weapons and jewelry from dwarves, both sides get what they want.

Seeing that Farah was fighting against heaven and man, Ophelia didn't urge him. After waiting for a while, Farah took a deep breath, then took the document from Hongye's hand and flipped it.

It doesn't take much time to read it, but Fara looked very carefully, and after reading it, Fara was surprised.

Create a colony!

Ophelia nodded

Well, if the opposition is a minority, it is directly eliminated, that is, the opposition accounts for a certain number, and can only suppress it. If the opposition is equal to your strength, it is best not to start the war easily, and win over division or even cooperate. If the opposition accounts for the majority, then we must be careful. If the opposition accounts for the vast majority, starting a new firework may be a good choice. You hide in the Forest of No Return. Under the protection of your holy tree, there will only be conservatives. They will lose it.The desire to explore this world, the desire to communicate with other races, the desire to develop, and even the desire to give birth. Your holy tree is protecting you, but isn’t it also binding you? Let you become a plant without emotions, Farah, leave with those elves who are willing to contact the world and explore the world, and let those old stubborn people stay. You will experience many difficulties and problems. After experiencing these, you will grow into a leader, not a simple, vocal tube

Fara nodded in agreement

I will ask for advice from the Great Elder first

Of course, but keep it confidential

Ophelia reminds Farah to overcome the old stubborn people in the elves' ruling class. Although Farah is considered very old from the human age, she is still very young from the perspective of elves. And after staying in human society for a long time, her natural thoughts will become more radical than traditional elves.

As the ruler, Ophelia could also guess the thoughts of the Elves, so in her opinion, this matter has already been done

Seeing that the purpose had been achieved, Ophelia stood up and said goodbye, and asked Farah not to reveal this matter. When the time came, Ophelia would tell her what cooperation she needed.

Leaving Fara's territory, Ophelia knew that Hongye's eyes were staring at her without looking back.

It seems that these bad-tempered elves should be relaxed, so are you, Hongye

If you need it, I will become very humble with just one sentence. It is not a problem to ask me to lick her feet or asshole.

Ophelia turned around and looked at Hongye angrily

What do you want to talk nonsense about the kid?

Hongye looked at the little Elvin staring at him and was stunned for a moment and then slapped himself in the face.

Please forgive me for being unscrupulous.

Ophelia waved her hand and asked her to follow her maid to go away. These things were not something they could hear.

This is my sincerity

Tell me to watch the elves build a colony?

Didn’t you say you want to leave? Why don’t you become the half-elf leader in the future?

Hongye sighed and spread her hands

How much do you know about half-elves? To be honest, only one generation and half-elves are recognized by you as half-elves. We have inherited more elves' characteristics, such as magic affinity, natural affinity, longevity, good physique, and inherited human adaptability. We can learn Dou Qi. If we continue to mating with humans, the second generation and half-elves born will almost lose the characteristics of the elves, and the advantages that can be inherited will be greatly reduced. Perhaps it is a little longer than humans, and it is easier to master magic, but it cannotAdapting to the magic system of human beings, you may learn to fight the spirit, but it is not much different from ordinary human beings. If you continue, there will be basically no difference. The birth of a half-elves is basically accident or tragedy. Most of them have a disgraceful or even tragic past like me. They are despised by elves and peeped by humans. They can't believe that anyone who lives in the dark corner of the human world, how can they come to the front desk and count on us and elves to restrain each other? I think your move is a bit inexplicable.

Ophelia looked at Hongye and showed a bright smile

If you really don't care or have no idea, why do you have to say so much? You are ambitious and restless after all, and of course I also have my own selfishness. I will not let the elves go out of the forest safely, and I promise to let you go, but I think my descendants can find you. You are a powerful character, and you have been in human society for a long time. You are a person who can be talked about and can be a helper for my children when necessary.

If Hongye couldn't think of any rebuttal for a while, she could only grab her hair with a little distress, and she looked still in trouble.

Duchess…you are here!

Seeing a servant stopping at a distance and shouting at a long distance, many people's eyes focused on Ophelia. Unexpectedly, there was a duchess here. I don't know which duchess it was.

Seeing that he was exposed, Ophelia knew that there must be a reason for the servant to do this, so she nodded to show permission. The servant rushed over immediately, pressed Ophelia's ear and told what happened in the council hall.

If you know, you can step down

Ophelia had already discussed this with Elino, but to make herself look unaware, she waved to her servants and signaled them to come over.

I knew something would happen when I called a taxi, but I didn't attack him as soon as I won.

Ophelia looked at Hongye with a little strange look. She knew that she had probably guessed it. After getting into the carriage, Hongye asked.

Have you discussed it long ago?

See through, don't tell it, Hongye

Ophelia just smiled and asked if the little Elvin was thirsty or hungry, and then asked the coachman to return. After entering the harem, he was not in a hurry to see Elvin. Instead, he went to do maintenance and also accompanied Elvin for an afternoon, and did not go back until the evening.

Seeing that Elino was not good, Ophelia didn't care, and handed Elvin to the servants and told them not to care about anything tonight

Some servants' hearts were in their throats. The couple with the most powerful power in the empire were having a quarrel, and maybe they would be bloody. If they were angry, they would be the first unlucky ones.

Look at your appearance and I want to beat me? OK, you beat me. After the beat, we will talk about things and ask for a whip?

Didn’t you ask me to put on a bad face for a day? Now I feel that I am really in a bad mood. After thinking for a while, the more I think about it, the more angry I get... How many of my subordinates will run away?

Ophelia walked behind Elino and pressed his shoulders, took a cup and smashed it directly on the wall.

Your subordinates have followed you for several years. It is not easy for them to survive if they die, or if they are injured, it is not easy for them to seek some benefits for them, right? As for the group you used to cheat when you went to Valen, it can be regarded as following you and showing off your military achievements. And a countess also gave them a fief. Now they are most grateful for their fiefs. If they don’t have fiefs, they must also be resentful.

It’s not that Elino doesn’t understand. He was born as a knight. As a conscientious boss, he certainly wanted to benefit his subordinates.

You don't understand...it's the feeling of being easy to use... in the future...

Before Elino finished speaking Ophelia interrupted him, and handed him a cup to signal him to throw it to the wall

Your holy sword never needs to be maintained, but there is only one holy sword

Elino naturally understood, and smashed the cup against the wall, and then sighed. Although he and Ophelia had already discussed to give their subordinates a fiefdom, they really wanted to implement it and began to worry about gains and losses. It was not that he did not care about his subordinates, but he also did not want his guard's strength to decline.

Or you'd better slap me a few times, or I'm not at ease

Ophelia took off her clothes, then lay on Elino's legs, shaking her butt, which made Elino a little amused, but she thought about it and put it on Ophelia's butt.

Listening to the occasional sound of smashing things and Ophelia's screams, many servants were frightened.

The next day, the Duke Dia and the Duchess started to have some conflict. The upper class sneered at this rumor, saying that the relationship between the duke and the couple was very good, and when they reached the lower class, there were all kinds of messy rumors. Some said that the Duke was beaten to the point of bruising, and some said that the Duke was beaten to the point of being a royal relative, and soon the imperial intelligence agency began to work. Those who spread such words were captured and sent to do coolies and repair the roads around the capital. However, this did not dispel the voices of the people. In secret, this rumor could not be stopped at all. After all, they were all from the capital. It was not good to behead or hang them for a few words. In the end, there was no way to make a fuss. Duke Dia could only take his family with his family to draw a family portrait in public to show that the relationship between the two sides was very good.

It’s just that the people are very lively. Some careful nobles found that there were a few familiar faces that suddenly disappeared from the social space. The imperial intelligence department seemed to be taking action on a large scale, but they couldn’t figure out the specific target. If it were civilians, it would be too waste of manpower.

Elino and Ophelia made trouble so much without regard for their reputation, so they naturally had a purpose, and used this to deal with a group of spies and lurking nobles.

During the period of time when the imperial capital was struggling, Elino's guards Knights were not stable, and many people were anxiously waiting for the result. It was not that they didn't like Elino, but it was nothing wrong to want a fief, and they would always get tired of fighting.

Fortunately, a few days later, Ellino agreed to the application for his fief of the Guards at the meeting, and further stated that he would agree to the requirements of the Knights to retire. His subordinates worked hard and made great contributions, so they could not use the five provinces they had just won to fool them.

Now the Ministry of Finance was at least relieved. Although the fiefdom affects future tax revenue, it can save a lot of money at present and greatly alleviate the current financial crisis. After all, the Ministry of Finance’s goal is very simple. If you survive this year, you will win. If you continue to survive next year, you will never be enough for an empire.

The military headquarters was a little complicated about this decision. Elino's guards only listened to Ellino's own dispatch and did not accept the jurisdiction of the empire. They could be regarded as Elino's private soldiers. Although they had great achievements in military affairs, they were not restricted by the military headquarters, which made the military headquarters feel uncomfortable, so it would be nice to be discharged from the military army.

But suddenly such a knight order that could conquer and fight was discharged. The empire is still fighting against rebels. Will doing so cause the empire to shift from advantage to disadvantage and become a problem for the military headquarters, so the military headquarters is very confused.

The opinions of Elino's guards were also very divided. Some people burst into tears and said happily that they had to stand up. Isn't it time to go out for war for so long?

Long live the duke's cry

But others think those who plan to leave the army are traitors, betray the Knights and betray the Duke.

It was a good thing, but the two sides argued over it, and even reached the point where they wanted to draw their swords to face each other.

Even the officer couldn't suppress the matter, so he had to ask Elino to appease his subordinates himself. Elino naturally did not refuse.

I'm standing attentive, what's the point of noisy

Elino roared at the barracks and shocked his subordinates. Standing on the platform in the barracks, Elino glanced around his subordinates. Some people lowered their heads a little ashamed, while others had some expectations and dissatisfaction in their eyes.

Lift your heads up, you are based on your own merits, what's wrong with you? You're going to fight for the fiefdom, and it's not embarrassing to say this. I was just a little knight before I became a duke. I also had no reason for this idea. I can be a duke and my brothers won't be allowed to have their fiefdoms.

Elino's words calmed the hearts of the knights who were interested in retiring, and many people knelt on one knee to salute Elino.

Many of my comrades together have fallen down. I have to thank you for your efforts until now. Without you, there would be no empire today. Without today, I would be discharged from the army. In the future, I would work hard at the local area and treat the people well. I would not ruin my reputation! If you want to establish a family, go find your wife and have children. I just hope you don’t forget my old boss. One day, when I need you, I can call you back with a horn.

Elino performed a manner of greeting each other to his subordinates, meaning that Elino would communicate with them as a knight, and Elino's subordinates also stood up to give their salutes.

Elinor waved

Let's go, everyone who wants to get out of here will get out of here. If you don't want to get out of here, let's take them off with me. They are also heroes

If the Duke summons in the future, we will definitely respond!

The knights who decided to retire from the army walked past Elinor, saluted, and then left without hesitation. This is how life is, some people are destined to be passers-by.

When the knights left, Elino looked at the rest of the people. He stopped standing, but sat on the platform with sadness.

Duke adult!

Elinor looked at the rest of the people with emotion

This is the only one left...

There were about five hundred people left at a glance

Lord Duke, this is a conspiracy against you

Elinor waved his hand

This is not called a conspiracy. Read more military books when you have time. This is called rewarding if you have any merits. That's right. You can't say that if you have merits or not, the right companion is gone. I'm also very sad and sad, but people are different. They are our companions, so don't resent them.

That Duke... As long as you give your order, we...

Elinor jumped off the platform and patted the knight on the shoulder

Since you are willing to follow me, then continue to follow me. You have become old people from new people. You were trained before, and it is your turn to train new people.

Duke? Will there be new people?

Isn't that nonsense? It's just that some people are retired from the army, and they are not going to disband my guards. If someone leaves, they will naturally come in and pursue differently. Some people like the battlefield and like to die on the battlefield. Some people go to the battlefield just to keep their second half of their lives and their descendants from leaving them safely and will feel resentful sooner or later. This is the best benefit I have sought for you this opportunity. If you don't retire, you won't know where you will have such an opportunity in the future?

I'm too lazy to manage the local area, so I'll let those civil servants manage it and share my achievements.

I already have a wife and son, so I asked them to take care of that place. If I go back, I will only cause trouble. Why not continue to follow the Duke?

I can only kill people. It is better to let me face the enemy like a tide than to let me look at the account book to manage civilians.

Seeing his subordinates talking, Elino was a little relieved. He didn't run away. As long as he had these backbones, he would be able to quickly lead another team.

I'm going to leave the imperial capital and go on a war.

In another executive meeting, Elino once again made amazing speeches

But Lord Duke, the empire's finances cannot support a new battle now

The Ministry of Finance first came out to protest and complain, and suddenly went to war, where to get money?

Many troops have been demobilized and rested. It is not long before they can be re-enlisted. I won’t say that, Lord Duke, we have not yet formulated the direction and goal of the attack in the next stage. How should we prepare for war?

The military headquarters is obviously very troubled by this accident

Duke, you should be at ease and don't get confused by temporary troubles... This order is unreasonable

Jacob stood up and made a summary speech, representing the voices of many people.

A few days after Elino's guards were discharged from the army, Elino made a speech about leaving the capital to go on the expedition, which made many people think that although Elino accepted the reality, it was obvious that he still had resentment in his heart. The order issued in this case can be said to be a life-threatening situation.

There is no need for you to do anything, I will only take away the remaining guards. I have decided

This sounds like a similar thing as running away makes many people nervous. If Elino runs to other factions, it will be a disaster. Many Elino's supporters are afraid that they will become an unstable factor in the empire. If he doesn't let him go, he will have to kill him. Who dares to fight for the empire after he kills the duke who has just won a battle?

And who knows how difficult it is to kill a super strong man? If you can't kill him, it will be even more troublesome

Lord Duke please be sure to think about it again... Don't do things that your loved ones are happy and your enemies are happy...

Don't think too much, I'll go to the grassland. Aren't the help requests over there already piled up? Tarr and I still have an old acquaintance.

The Williams Empire has always understood the current situation of the grasslands, although it is a bit difficult, but it can still be maintained. Although the Eastern Coexistence Sect is in a hurry all day long, the dead are all the grassland people and orcs. Moreover, they are unlikely to have sex with the Western Grassland Royal Court supported by the Nietzsche faction. If they still maintain it, let them maintain it. Just give some weapons and food. Their call is just because of the cunning rush of the grassland people.

However, the empire is currently in a rest period and is temporarily unable to launch a new military offensive and has begun to turn to diplomatic offensives and counter-attacks against enemy personnel

The Duke of Elino had nothing to do for a while, and now he was obviously in conflict with the emperor. At this time, whether he was expanding territory or relaxing, it was obviously more appropriate than staying in the imperial capital. As long as he did not go to other factions, it would be fine.

And if he only brings his own guards, he will have limited numbers and consume little.

Considering that Elino's son is already considered the future emperor of the Williams Empire, although Elino was targeted, it was not enough to betrayal, so the parliament symbolically retained Elino. After all, the burden of tying the brave man was mainly on Ophelia's shoulders. Now it seems that this former princess has fulfilled her mission well.

Everyone outside said that our relationship was broken

Uh-huh……

Elino was lying in the bathroom. Ophelia didn't know where to learn some massage recently, and then helped Elino press it. But the woman's hand strength was not enough, but Elino wouldn't mention this matter, so she let Ophelia massage him.

Should you go to Nanni at night? In a few days, let the maids spread the rumors that a duke would not stay at home for several days?

Can you believe in Victor? You have killed so many spies and lurking families... They are not idiots.

This is a lot? There are also big news.

What kind of fun work are you going to do?

smuggling

Ophelia sat on Elino's back and raised her feet

I remember telling you that the royal family is the richest and poorest in the world. If you just want to enjoy the prosperity of this world, then you will definitely be very comfortable. If you have some ideals, this money will never be enough to spend. Our finances are really bad, so I decided to arrange some white gloves and smuggle them.

The civil war in the Williams Empire also led to the severance of some commercial routes, which greatly damaged the interests of some merchants and nobles. Temporary martial law is possible. Don’t even think about martial law, especially when it enters a stalemate stage. If both sides do not fight, they will start to secretly smuggle.

Why can a smuggling reassure Victor?

Elinor didn't understand very well, so he opened his eyes and asked

Because he has money, he will think that it is an opportunity. He can't get it on the battlefield. He will try to buy it with money. Haha, haven't he sent someone to find you?

Well, I think they are stupid? My sons are all emperors and let me go there to be a minister?

Anyway, it's just a loss of insignificant chess piece. If it becomes an unexpected surprise, it doesn't matter if it doesn't work. Humph, I want to prepare a surprise for him.

Elino snorted twice and said that he knew. For some reason, Elino could not hear resentment from Ophelia's words, but was an excitement of encountering his opponent.

Thanks to your performance on the battlefield, I think I have a high probability of success. Your battle can be said to have actually ruined Victor. He is just surviving now.

Just good luck

Ophelia bent down and kissed Elino, rubbing him with her body

You and I are very similar, do you know? I almost died once in childhood, but I almost died. Then I have a smooth journey. I almost died. Then I have smooth journey. In a sense, we are really good.

Feeling the touch brought by the soft breasts, Elino had some reaction. Recently, Ophelia took the initiative, which made Elino feel back to the time when she first got married.

You should go with Nanni

Ophelia said it again, she knew that saying this made Elinor a little embarrassed, and she knew it without looking at his face.

If you want a man to follow your pace, you have to use fraud and coax. Nanni speaks very directly and has a bit of aloofness, so naturally it is not liked by men.

Elino has been in the position for a long time, and no one dares to speak directly to him. Most of them have been pleasing and begging, and Elino has gradually gotten used to it.

You should know that the mage is more or less a little stupid in interpersonal communication. He can't let go of his identity and can't speak his mind. He also hopes that others can treat her well. They are used to treating themselves as strong people, right? How many people do you think can be like your wife?

Elinor turned over and hugged Ophelia, rubbing Ophelia's breasts and butt with both hands

You're just pretending, aren't you?

If I could pretend to be a good wife and mother for the rest of my life and bring my secret into the coffin, wouldn’t I be a good wife and mother?

You're now

Ellino hugged Ophelia and was silent for a while, and even stopped his movements.

Nanni is quite special. Unlike Heidi, she can be dispossed by eating, drinking and having fun. Although she sometimes shows a little possessiveness, she can make up for it with other things. Sometimes she is very happy when she is with Heidi. She doesn't need any brains. She eats and plays and does what she wants. She always goes crazy and laughs like an idiot. There is no problem with Nanni and me. The relationship between us has never been further. She seems to be full of feelings. She is full of gratitude to me, and she seems to flash like a meteor and just immerse herself in the joy of carnality. She is not very open-minded.

Speaking of this, Elinor shook his head and sighed

To be honest, even if it is Hongye, it can at least serve you comfortably. Although Tess says she is stupid all day long, she is obedient enough no matter what. Nanni really feels it is a bit difficult to deal with...

Even if it is difficult to deal with, you have to deal with it. Otherwise, killing her is probably the best choice

Elino was not too surprised by this. Ophelia said in front of Elino that she was not killing Nannie because of favor or jealousy. She was not so stingy.

Let Elino approach Nanni for political reasons. It is necessary to say that killing Nanni is also for political reasons. If you can't control a mage like Nanni, then killing her is indeed the choice of most rulers.

What are you thinking? She helped us a lot... Without her, how could we build a magical legion, and we couldn't beat Victor at all

So if you have anything to complain about? If you accidentally kill her, then just go and coax her away. What if you lose a piece of meat?

If you push your husband out to appease other women, you are worthy of being...

How can I be this wife if I don’t have the energy at all?

Elino enjoys the feeling of quarrel with Ophelia. Here he can feel like he has returned home, rather than just sleeping and having sex or playing. He likes Ophelia sleeping with his arm around him, which makes him feel that he is needed. Except for a little bit of a useless arm, everything else is good, but Elino, as an extraordinary person, doesn't care about these things.

In the middle of the night, Little Elvin cried again in the room next to him. Ophelia actually sat up when she heard the cry while sleeping. She looked confused and went to coax the child without even opening her eyes. Elinor sighed, why can't this child grow up quickly and don't bother with the adults...

But then I thought about it, what was going on when my mother took me back then? I didn’t have any memory of this. I guess I was a little annoying at that time.

The next day, Elino went to Nannie's side. To be honest, he didn't come here often recently. Most of the time, he saw Nannie and Ophelia having afternoon tea together.

I remember you and Madi are still on the honeymoon period...

Seeing Lena on Nanni surprised Elino. To be precise, he knew Lena was helping her women run errands, but he was not so clear about what he was doing. Ophelia did not care if he was dealing with these things.

Um

Rena has always been afraid of Elino so she stood up and saluted and nodded

I have something to ask Nanni. You can go on vacation today and go to your own. The couple shouldn't get tired of getting married. Is it right? I'll leave in a while. Madi will follow me at that time. Maybe it will take a long time to see you.

Lena nodded and began to pack up the books at hand. She didn't care about Lena's disrespect for her. After all, she was the shadow of the little girl's childhood. She suddenly stopped when she passed by her and stared at her for a while, which made Lena very nervous.

Have you learned magic?

Rena's book on her hand fell on the table, scaring herself

Lord Duke, I...I'm not ready to take revenge on you...

Elino smiled and patted Lena on the shoulder

Then you still remember that I wasn't so cautious yet. If you have talent, learn to leave. It's just a pity...

Elino looked at Lena and shook his head

You become a mage and Madi become a knight. It will be difficult for you to want a child... If he wants a child to inherit the family business in the future, it will be more troublesome. Would you allow him to find other women?

Lena's hand was also pausing for a moment. She did not expect such a thing at that time. Now that Elino mentioned it, Lena's face seemed to have a hint of regret.

I... didn't expect...

When she gave birth to a child, she missed her talent, and it was impossible to learn any more.

Nanni's voice interrupted Lena's words, and Elino looked at Nanni who was walking out and said hello

Are you free?

Nanni did not nod or shake her head, but just opened her body in front of the door. Elino also knew that this was the meaning of time, so she touched Lena's head

OK OK OK Go back. It’s been so many years since you saw me, but I’m still afraid… When I was young, I didn’t expect this problem to be faced in the future. I’ll talk to him when I have time. It’s not necessary to have children by myself as a wife, so it’s the same for him to help him take care of his family.

Women don’t have to rely on men to live. They follow me to study hard, even if their talent is not good, there is no problem in supporting themselves. Why bother men to keep them?

Nanni was not satisfied with Ellino's speech. In a sense, she had the arrogance of a mage and the arrogance of a woman, and she also combined it into one

Okay, the times are different, and not all women want to live so tiring

Is it not uncomfortable for a man who is not tired of having a child and raising a housekeeper outside every day?

OK OK, men stay at home every day and have to dislike him for not being able to do anything, why should we fight for this in front of children?

Elino held Nanni's shoulder and pulled her into the room, then closed the door. Reina also knew the relationship between Ellino and Nanni. Seeing that the things were almost done, she hurriedly left.

The little girl is still afraid of me to death. Really, am I that scary?

If a cat is too lazy to catch a mouse when he is full, then the mouse is not afraid of the cat?

Ellino's hand was not pressed honestly on Nanni's buttocks, and Nanni did not protest.

Nowadays, most people can distinguish Nanni and Heidi. Nanni is much plump than Heidi, her breasts and buttocks are plump, and her waist is also thicker. There are pros and cons, right?

You don't give her a vacation when you just got married with Madi. I just gave him two months off.

Do you think she was just broken? Your little pervert is not in charge of her parents and has slept with Lena long ago. They have done what they should have done, and they have done what they shouldn't have done, and they have done what they shouldn't have done, and they have been left to this day?

Elino was a little embarrassed for a moment, thinking that Madi had never mentioned this to him. It seemed that the two of them were messing around before they became adults, but they still smiled.

So, let me talk about things that shouldn't be done, and give me more details

Ask your little follower what kind of master you have

With a bang, Nanni patted the hand that Elino had reached into Nanni's robe, signaling him to pay attention to his position.

What are you busy with recently? Ophelia said that she always has no time to come to find you. She is afraid that you will be tired.

I hate children, not that I hate children with you and Ophelia, but I hate children...

Nanni is a little concerned about him. Ophelia never shows off her children in front of other women. She also pays great attention to making them fall in love with Little Elvin. In the future, these aunts will be his help.

Women should like children, because they weren’t born by themselves? Otherwise, you should give birth to one too

How did I... live?

Nanni was suddenly at a loss when Elino said it, and she pushed Ellino's hand away as if she wanted to escape.

You are also a woman, aren’t you?

What's the use of coaxing me? You know that it's hard to have children between swordsmen and mages, and my body is made

Nanni seemed a little lost. Ellino took advantage of Nanni's moment of loss of consciousness and reached into Nanni's triangular forest with one hand, and kneaded her nipples with the other hand, making Nanni moan a little.

If you don't think about some things, it will never be possible

I... have no hope. I still plan to train a personal disciple according to the tradition of the Magic Empire period. Didn’t you ask me what I am doing? I am sorting out my knowledge and teaching experience. When I am ready, I will find a disciple who can entrust my ideals and strength. My strength can only be maintained as it is now for some reasons. I hope my disciples can go further and recreate the glory of the Magic Empire period one day in the future.

Hearing this, Elino was shocked, and his hands flirting with Nanni stopped and he didn't know it. At the same time, he also understood why Ophelia had to let him see Nanni and said what it means to kill Nanni if ​​she couldn't control her.

Recreate the Magic Empire?

What a joke? If this is spread outside, the little credibility that the mages just established and the value they showed will be destroyed by Nanni in an instant. The nobles and swordsmen will recall the days when they lived a fearless life worse than dogs under the governance of the magic empire.

Judging from her meaning, the disciple should not have been found yet, but it is best to ask if it is Lena for safety reasons. If so, I have to go back on my word. What kind of accident would this girl have?

Are you going to pass it to that little girl Rena?

She can't do it, she has some talent but limited, and she can achieve magician achievements in her life, which is considered good luck... It's not easy to meet a talented child, but now the world still has a large population. I think I will meet such a child sooner or later.

OK OK OK This is not something that can be done in a short time, it is a long-term work. Don’t stay here every day. Sometimes you should relax and show off and enjoy life. Ophelia brings little Elvin to you and has no intention of showing off. What you should know about her is that she wants to have a great aunt who can help her son in the future.

Humph, everything she does has a purpose, just like you as a bastard...

What bad thoughts can I have? I am just greedy for your body, and don’t you like me, a bastard?

Elino pulled his hand back from Nanni's private parts, and some mucus was stained with it, emitting a fishy smell of heat. He wiped his hands, Elino stripped Nanni's clothes and then pressed Annie on the table.

Ah...well~

At the moment of insertion, Nanni snorted and soon got into the state because of kissing Elino. Nanni liked kissing very much, but her reaction to other caresses was average. In some restricted areas, if she protested, you kept playing with her, she would be angry and pushed you away and slapped you twice in the face.

Since your strength cannot be improved, why don’t you relax and experience life more? There are many beautiful things in this world, and you don’t have to immerse yourself in the magic world.

To be honest, these are a bit disappointing Ellino. I know you are doing it for my own good, but the biggest punishment for the mage during the Magic Empire was not the death penalty, but the destruction of his magic circuit, allowing him to endure endless pain, and the psychological gap that he could no longer use magic. He became an extraordinary person and could not go back to be a mortal. Have you ever imagined that one day you could no longer use Dou Qi, and your body began to hurt everywhere because of the battles in the past. Walking became a burden for you. Did you feel soreness when you lie on me and get sore back after a few times?

Seeing Ellino's constipation look Nanni felt very happy, hugging Ellino's neck and wrapping her legs around Ellino's waist

You said this...I didn't let you give up on magic either

OK, I am already a fool who is stupid in reading. If I don’t let me continue to study magic, what can I do?

Elino really wants to tell Nanni that if she doesn't change her mind, she will offend many people, although there is nothing wrong with her position.

The final result is likely to be ruined by Ophelia. Elinor himself cannot do it, but he may choose to remain silent at that time. He has a family, a child, a career, and a preference. It is impossible to be the same as in the past.

Feeling that Elino seemed a little different from usual, Nanni was a little confused. What pain did she poke Elino?

Ellino's age and physical fitness are not

What's wrong?

I always feel a little sorry. Now that I have children, I have to spend more time on them, so as not to recognize them when the children don’t recognize me. After I come back, I rarely come to you except for recuperating my injuries. I will leave again for a few days, and then I think about coming to see you...

I mentioned the words "My friend or above" that I was not full of lovers myself, but today I was asking myself for not having a status in your heart. I was a little disappointed, but I was not particularly disappointed. You can consider that I am still happy. If you feel that you owe something to me, then work harder. What?

As you wish

Ellino didn't plan to get much happiness. If you want to be comfortable, you can go to Hongye. Hongye will try her best to serve him to the comfort of her. For Nanni, Ellino felt a little guilty. Nanni used the normal position that Nanni was most suitable for and did not change. Maybe men couldn't get much happiness, but Nanni was satisfied. She just wanted to release the pressure and orgasm several times.

Ophelia saw Elino who had returned from Nannie, and saw his face and knew that he had already known the seriousness of the problem.

Understood?

Elinor nodded with a wry smile

She is just a fool, and she still dreams of the past empire. She is not very clear about interpersonal relationships and politics. She just said that casually. I don’t want to see her body, so you are troubled and worry about her finding a disciple. Don’t let her find any descendants.

Ophelia nodded

Mandel has to stay. There needs to be someone who is not so stupid to manage the Magic Academy. I will try my best to prevent Nanni from interfering in the Magic Academy's affairs. As long as the newcomer cannot reach her, she will be forgotten slowly. When it is really impossible, I may find someone to destroy her spell casting ability. If it really happens...

I won't blame you...but that's no different from killing her...

Elinor sighed, sat down and lit a cigarette, then was snatched from his mouth by Ophelia and threw it on the ground and stomped out.

There are kids, go out and smoke

Elinor grabbed his hair hard

What the hell is this... Why did I become like this... I lied to my own woman, and then discussed behind her about destroying her dreams and hopes, discussing how she would kill her if she lost control... How did I become like this...

Ophelia hugged Elino in her arms

This is how growth is. One day, we find ourselves becoming the person we once hated the most, and then deceive ourselves and grew up... This is the price of growth, Ellino

When Ellino's guards gathered again, the number that came to report was similar to the last estimated, about five hundred, which made the barracks look a little empty.

The Knights who came to report greeted each other. This made it happen that whether it was the former Eastern Kingdoms League or Williams's later, the ones who stayed were their own.

Damn, isn’t this our Earl of Scarlett? Lord Earl, don’t you go home for a blind date and come to fight again?

Scarlet raised his foot and kicked the knight who was joking with her, and the other party quickly dodged.

When the fuck came home to ask for marriage, he was fucking wondering about my title and land. Who really liked me? He was so thin that the genius picked up by my hand that he dared to come to ask for marriage. Fuck!

It seems that although Scarlett has been named, and is the highest-ranking woman in Williams now. When she goes home, she can be on par with her father and is equivalent to her title, but it is not a big deal, so she would rather hide back and go to the battlefield.

Hahahaha, I'm strong, choose me

roll!

Although these companions were vulgar, Scarlet felt familiar and at ease, at least not those bad things.

It was a good thing to get a title, but when a woman got a title, even her parents began to secretly plot against her plans to incorporate her fiefdom into the family, which made Scarlett very sad.

This is not a question of whether you are willing or not, but it is too heartbroken for parents to attack you. Can't you talk about it carefully?

It's easy to go to the battlefield with a group of bastards

Hey, Madi, I heard that you just got married, and you threw your newly married wife out of the house and ran out to fight? Is your wife too powerful and came out to take refuge?

Madi's face turned red. He knew that these old bastards were talking a lot, and they must be the one on the bed.

I am the Duke's disciple. Wouldn't I betray the Duke's face if I didn't prove myself on the battlefield?

Hey, this little bastard is really good at giving himself. Remember to take the charge behind me when I was behind me. If I missed it, you can make up for it.

Little Madi is very disgusted with this kind of joke. He is also a knight. Why should he follow someone else's butt to find a bargain?

I don't fucking like looking at men's ass!

Oh, this little bastard is going to rebel!

Someone touched his head with his hand a few times and waved his hand to open it. At this time, Scarlet came over and hugged Madi. Scarlet was very tall, while Madi, who was still growing, looked much shorter.

It's okay, little Madi, you can talk to my sister behind my ass

Amid the laughter of a group of old hooligans, Madi had to escape in panic and swear in his heart that he must make some record and let these bastards see

Madi is now a teenager. Although she is still young, she is a man after getting married.

Everyone used to think that he was a child, and if he was no longer an age advantage, he had to achieve some results if he wanted to gain respect from others. So after he mastered the fighting spirit, he couldn't wait to put on his armor and put on his sword when he heard that Ellino was going to go out again, which meant that he was no longer an errand, but also a knight.

The first one, Ping An comes back, Erwin and I are waiting for you at home for the second one, don’t lose the third one, win as much as you can, and you can exceed the fourth one...

Elino was also saying goodbye to Ophelia. Sometimes Elino felt that Ophelia was no different from the woman in the wilderness watching her husband go out to rob. It was not that she said no to go, but that she would rob her hard for me.

I always feel that it is different from what I imagined... You are so greedy

You are talking nonsense. I am the most greedy woman in this world. You should be the most greedy man in this world, right? If you are not greedy, why do we have to work hard to dominate the entire continent?

Ophelia helped Elino to dress up, kissed Elino's cheek, and then walked to Elino with little Elvin.

Ellino looked at his wife and children and smiled. Home is the source of motivation for his struggle. He stretched out his hand and touched Little Elvin's head. This child still doesn't like his father very much, but he likes his mother more. It's right, after all, he is not so homey.

I told Nanni again, don't be too addicted to magic and heirs. It's not a sin to have worked hard for so many years to enjoy it. As for whether Nanni can listen, it's hard to say

Heidi, who accompanied Elino to the war this time, was considered an old partner; Tasha, as a prairie, led the way for Elino this time; Tess continued to take care of Elino's life in front of Elino's personal maid; when Farae appeared in front of Elino this time, Elino almost couldn't remember this guy, but if she said she was useful, she would take her; and Pebro, as the deputy commander of the Royal Knights, he had been in charge of the security of the royal family in China, and the work of quelling domestic rebellions. He was responsible for domestic supplies when he fought with the Victor faction. Now Ophelia transferred him back and stuffed him into the team. I guess he had any ideas.

The government affairs in China are still led by Jacob. Red Leaf cannot exert any energy on the grassland, so he is arranged to go to the south with Vivian to implement a plan. Nanny continues to stay in Williams City, Mandel stays in the Magic Academy, but only sends some mages to follow Elinor to the expedition.

In this way, Elino took his guard with only about 500 people and two hundred mages to embark on the journey again.
