Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 198 What Are We Talking About When We Talk About Flowers of Abundance

When Frost Maple Ridge was fighting with the bandit allied forces, all the women of the territory, including Werf, were arranged by Mayor Joel to gather in the horned eagle manor and several buildings in the center of the terrace for protection;

Therefore, it was not until now that everything had happened, and Vilf, who had regained her freedom and was busy serving tea and water to the lord, saw this shadow mage of Rock Creek City who had been captured and subdued for the first time;
Therefore, she suddenly exclaimed and recognized the acquaintance, but there is no problem;
But the problem is...

An elf girl whose race is declining day by day, and a shadow mage whose school is on the verge of extinction, these two rare species collided in the land of cracking souls far away from the emperor, and they turned out to be old acquaintances? !

This is too coincidental, right?

Could it be that Haiwen Continent is really only the size of a palm?
Xia Houyan was full of doubts, and he was about to speak, when he saw the shadow mage kneeling under the hall suddenly raised his head, staring at the pretty pale Welf.

The lord thinks that Vilf must have killed eighteen generations of ancestors of this shadow-type mage, and owed a huge sum of money for decades and hasn't repaid it, so that this guy's eyes are so ferocious, resentful, and have some kind of sadness Affection.

"Flower of Abundance!!!!" The shadow mage hissed like a dying lion, "I finally found you!!!"

"I, me, me, me..." Weierf was trembling all over, stammering, "Bebe, babe, Brother Begrad, why are you here..."

"Why am I here?! Why am I here?!" The grief and indignation on the face of the shadow magician can make Dou E a sinner through the ages, "I didn't fucking want to find you, how could I run into this kind of shit A place?! Not to find you, why the fuck would I work for that stupid old man Houston?!"

The conversation between these two people almost stunned the lord and all the senior officials of Shuangfengling.

"Wait a minute..." Xia Houyan was stunned for a while, and then suddenly said, "Reina, push his hair away..."

The recruit who was in charge of escorting the shadow mage got the order, so he stretched out his hand and brushed away the long black hair of the shadow mage;

As a result, two extremely familiar pointed ears trembled out from between his hair.

"Shocked!" Eldridge was taken aback, "Why is it another elf?"

The lord leaned on his chin with one hand, and tapped on the armrest of the chair with the other hand for a long time before slowly asking:

"You guys are fellow villagers?"

The shadow mage and Welf nodded sharply.

The lord pinched his eyebrows.

"Lord, lord..." After so long, the mage of the shadow department has already seen who is the big boss, and said in a low voice, "The name of the little man is Beglade, and he is the owner of the 'Stardust Elf Protectorate'. A junior magister of the shadow department..."

Xia Houyan blinked, and looked back at Master Laurie who was wiping cow dung.

In this way, the magic class in Belgrade is exactly the same as Master Laurie;
It's just that he looks young, and the chief mage of the Igor family climbed to this rank after a long time, which is a bit too shameful...

"My lord, what do you think I'm doing?!" Master Laurie, who obviously felt the mocking eyes around him, stomped his feet angrily, "Elves are a long-lived race, don't look at this young man, maybe he has spent more time studying magic than me long!"

"I am 34 years old." Begrade said dryly.

Master Laurie stopped talking.

Eldridge, who had been standing by the side, smacked his lips thoughtfully:

Others may not be clear about it, but Eldridge, a native of the Eastern Territory, is very familiar with the concept of "Elf Protectorate":

At present, the remaining population of elves on the mainland is pitifully small, and most of the tribes live in seclusion in deep mountains and old forests;

But there are also some elven tribes, who still have the blood of the descendants of the ancient elven empire Chinese. They were unwilling to be lost in the era, so they launched the so-called "Elf Restoration Movement" 50 years ago;
Of course, no matter whether it is humans, demons or orcs, no one wants to see a new force rising on the mainland, so this group of Zionist elves was brutally suppressed at the beginning;

However, as fate would have it, at the same time, the peaceful relationship between humans and orcs that had been maintained for decades began to collapse, and they lived near the federal border of the Empire. Due to their outstanding magical talents, they had the largest proportion of mage population among all races. The elves become a force that can be won and used;
Therefore, the Empire and the Federation successively supported the Zionists among the elves, and established two major elf protectorates, "Stardust" and "Blood Shadow" in the Dust Mountains, becoming their own subjects—and as a price, the elves protectorate Also contribute taxes and mage soldiers to your suzerain.

From this point of view, this unbelievably beautiful elf girl, as well as this shadow mage Belgrade, should be citizens of the Stardust Elf Protectorate...

"Tell me, what's going on?" Xia Houyan raised his legs and raised his chin.

Belgrade obviously felt that he should not die, so he talked about his experience in the past year with tears;
And Xia Houyan and the other high-level officials didn't listen for long, and their faces became brighter:

To put it simply, Belgrade came to the Land of Souls to find the "Flower of Abundance".

As a descendant of the Chinese elves, Belgrade was promoted to a magister at a young age, and thus was hired by the elf queen of the Stardust Protectorate as a court mage—and he received an appointment from the queen not long after he took office. Urgent task:
Find the missing "Flower of Abundance" Vilf!

As a result, Begrade set out from the dusty mountains in the eastern part of the empire, made a thorough investigation all the way, and finally learned that the "Flower of Abundance" appeared in the depths of the mountain. However, before arriving at the place, the unlucky "Flower of Abundance" was captured by a group of slave traders. Caught and prepared to be auctioned on the black market in the capital of the Stardust Protectorate, Eternal Sun City...

And when Belgrade rushed back to Eternal Sun City, the Flower of Abundance had already been robbed by a group of mercenaries from the south and went to the south...

This hard-working elf worker can only follow the trail of Vilf, all the way to the Grand Duchy of Houston. After searching to no avail, he crosses the Lionheart River with the mentality of trying to find clues in the towns on the left bank;
Coincidentally, he actually saw a suspected "Flower of Abundance" in a tavern in Huafang Town!

Xia Houyan sucked his teeth, and exchanged a glance with Alice:
If the calculation is correct, it should be the time when the three of them went to Huafang Town to look for Katerina, but they bumped into Rock Creek City spy Karim Lodge, and the timing was just right...

However, without waiting for Belgrade to take any action, the lord and his party took Welf and left, and Belgrade entangled in the tavern for a long time because he had no money to pay for the drinks, until he was kicked out At that time, the shadow of the "Flower of Abundance" had long been lost.

As a result, Belgrade, who finally found the target, lost the clues again.

But he was finally able to confirm that the "Flower of Abundance" he was looking for was located in the southern border of the empire, so he didn't run away!
After another fruitless search in the towns on the left bank, Belgrade finally had nowhere to go. He naturally thought of seeking help from the largest power in the southern border of the empire...

There is no doubt that he ran to Rock Creek to find the Duke of Houston.

As a result, Houston told him that the "Flower of Abundance" was in the hands of a little lord named "Igor" in Frost Maple Ridge, the land of broken souls, and that the kidnapping of the "Flower of Abundance" before was also caused by this "Flower of Abundance". The bastards of the "Igor" family did it...

Xia Houyan snorted.

According to the current information, the Grand Duke of Houston obviously didn't know that the theft of the "Flower of Abundance" was related to the Igor family, but the Grand Duke's death would never have occurred. Frost Maple Ridge.

Begrade continued to explain that the Grand Duke told him that a group of bandit coalition forces were just preparing to attack Frost Maple Ridge, and he only needed to run to the west of Frost Maple Ridge to cast spells while the fierce battle between the two sides was in full swing. The "Flower of Abundance" has been rescued!

With the generous help of the Grand Duke of Houston, Belgrade of course patted his chest and agreed:

No problem, when the time comes, I will take out the scroll of "Shadow Frenzy" left by the teacher, exile the souls of everyone in this territory, and naturally I will be able to rescue the "Flower of Abundance"!

——Because of the blessing of the mother god, their elves are completely immune to soul attacks.

And the final result, of course, is the unlucky Mr. Begrade, who is now kneeling bitterly in the hall of Horned Eagle Manor for trial...

After Xia Houyan listened to this series of "Adventures in Search of Flowers", he could only say that the world is so wonderful, so wonderful.

However, he couldn't help but admire the Duke of Houston's methods:

First came the Bandit Allied Forces, and then Belgrade. This old man relied on instigating others to attack Shuangfeng Ridge. Except for the swordsman Sirius and a group of Rock Creek cavalry who were waiting to finish off, he actually Didn't spend any money...

And if Houston's plan works perfectly, then the script is that, under the cover of the bandit coalition attack, in order to rescue Welf, Belgrade uses a "Shadow Frenzy" to stun all the humans on the Phoenix Terrace, Rock Creek City The cavalry can easily pick peaches and kill the Shuangfengling people whose souls have been exiled one by one...

During this whole process, whether it was the Bandit Alliance or Belgrade, they were just pawns who knew nothing about the overall situation.

Xia Houyan looked at Werf, then at Begrade, and said dumbfoundedly:

"Mr. Begrade, look, is this 'Flower of Abundance' really like an elf slave captured by me? The food eaten by this mentally handicapped girl in the past few months is probably more than any one in our territory." There are more people..."

Vilf was furious, and waved her small fist at the lord demonstratively.

Belgrade had also noticed a long time ago that the "Flower of Abundance" not only was not physically restrained on the Phoenix Stage, but also lived a very nourishing life, unable to speak embarrassingly.

"Let me tell you the truth, this Miss Welf was snatched back from the Eastern Territory by the mercenary group sent by the Grand Duke of Houston." Xia Houyan snapped her fingers at Vilf, and the elf girl put down her fist obediently and left. Come over, "We rescued this girl from the Duke of Houston, and I gave her freedom, but she refused to leave..."

"Great, great!" Belgrade raised his head and said excitedly, "You, can you let me bring Miss Welf back to the Stardust Elf Protectorate?"

Welf's "What? I don't want it!" and Eldridge's "Stop, friend!" rang out at the same time.

Xia Houyan first looked down at Welf who was hiding in his arms, and then cast doubtful eyes on Eldridge:
"Commander Eldridge, is there a problem?"

"I think this matter is, ah, very mysterious." Eldridge rubbed his chin and pondered, "My lord, brother, when I was in the Eastern Region, ah, I heard a little, ah, gossip... Said to be the Elf Queen of the Stardust Protectorate, ah, a huge reward is offered, and anyone who can retrieve the 'Flower of Abundance' for her, ah, can get a team of elf mages... The Duke of Houston, it should be for this , ah, the kidnapped 'Flower of Abundance'."

"Well...it should be." Xia Houyan felt that the Grand Duke is already old, so there should be no need to do such a thing because of his lust for beauty.

"Then, ah, here comes the problem..." Eldridge said, "This little elf girl, ah, is not a magician, at most she is a bit, ah, pretty... Why does the elf queen want to find a magician?" She dares to pay a high price for a team of mages? Is she living in a dream? Among them, ah, there must be tricks!"

"Damn..." Chris revealed a conjecture that the lord and Master Laurie had discussed in private, "Miss Weierf, you...you can't be some kind of elf princess, right?"

"Princess? She is also worthy?" Belgrade pursed his lips, denying this judgment, "The princesses of our elves are all educated since childhood, learning various skills such as weaving, cooking, and magic—you see This Miss Welf, who doesn't work hard and doesn't know the grain, how could the elves have such a useless princess?!"

Vilf immediately raised her head from the lord's embrace, glaring at Belgrade like a ferocious little wolf dog.

"Then why does Her Majesty the Elf Queen want her?" Xia Houyan asked in confusion.

"I also think Her Majesty the Queen is crazy..." Begrade said angrily, "But this Miss Vilf, although she has Chinese blood, is not a member of the royal family—she is a serial novelist,' "Flower of Abundance" is the pseudonym she gave herself after boasting of her large number of serials..."

The senior officials in Shuangfengling were stunned at first, and then nodded one after another:

It makes sense, only those who write bad novels can be so useless in their daily lives.

Begrade continued to curl his lips and said:
"For some reason, Her Majesty the Queen became obsessed with the romance novels serialized by 'Flower of Abundance'. As a result, this guy did not know what was wrong. First, he didn't serialize it on the "Daily Star" for several days, and then he said that his inspiration was exhausted. , Need to go out to collect materials, the serialized novels will be completely cut off!"

Everyone spat in unison, causing Weierf to shrink her shoulders in fright.

"I don't know what is so good about the romance novels she wrote, but Her Majesty the Queen really can't sleep without reading it for a day, and she is almost exhausted, so she can only spend a lot of money to reward the author, and finally even sent me out !” Belgrade said helplessly.

The room was silent.

"Damn... what are you writing about, it's worth a team of mages?" Xia Houyan looked carefully at Vilf's little face, "Awesome..."

Wilf immediately raised her face triumphantly:

"Hmph, although my girl's inspiration has run out recently, she used to be a top romance writer, okay! Didn't I just change "Snow on the Cold Bone Mountains" and "Fifteen Months with the Holy Master" back then? Written under a pseudonym? Actually, I’m not very good at writing. The main reason why I attract readers is that it breaks the chapters..."

"What is 'broken chapter'?" Xia Houyan was puzzled.

Weierfu had no choice but to explain patiently:
"The broken chapter is
