Alien world

Chapter 1096 18. Wherever you step, sprouts will grow

In order to avoid suspicion, Annan did not stay in the embassy for long. After tasting some delicious fruits brought by the elf delegation from the Aldo Forest, he returned to the city lord's mansion.

The Liberty City officials had just finished a meeting, and Olmedo, Francois, and Dade were chatting in the lounge.

Annan walked in and pretended to say a few words about the assassination that happened today. He said that it was imperative to give the elf delegation a good impression and asked everyone not to let their guard down.

"Didn't you see that even I'm not idle?" This was Annan's most self-righteous statement.

Olmedo, who was lazily resting on the sofa with a blanket in his arms, raised his eyelids and exposed Annan: "Are you going there to form an alliance or to chat up the elf elder?"

"Sir...Sir, we judge by deeds, not by heart!"

Then there was something like "personal dedication as a lord" and "it would be good for us to get to know the elf elders", and there was a cheerful atmosphere in the lounge.

"I invited them to come to the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow to see how the officials work." Annan said again.

Olmedo had no objection, but Dade warned Annan: "Don't let the elves see the other world tree behind."

"why?"

"The elves will not accept the existence of a second world tree..."

Annan had heard similar things before, but he didn't think it was so serious.

"I understand, I'll pay attention."

Looking at it this way, it was an accident that I didn't tell Tidel about this matter... But the other world tree is growing every day... Can I really keep it a secret?
Annan quickly put this matter behind him. The city lord's mansion was heavily guarded, and the garden where the princess was was the core, so it was difficult for the elves to get there.

What Annan was concerned about was that the high elf elder had not shown up...

The visit to the City Lord's Mansion on the third day went smoothly, and the two elven elders spoke highly of the officials. Until the fifth day... In the evening, Annan, who was sending Ellie back to the embassy, ​​saw Kairandra appear on the street.

"Are you feeling unwell?" Annan asked the tired-looking Kailandra.

"I'm a little tired..."

Annan watched as the high elf elder, who didn't even have the energy to maintain his condition, walked into the embassy. He didn't know where he went...

After standing there and thinking for a while, Annan walked towards the Succubus Massage Parlor.

……

Natural magic like points of light enveloped Kailandra, and his condition gradually improved.

Fioria and Ellie sat across from him: "How was the investigation?"

“The humans here really mean what they say, and the only people who tell lies are lies,” said Kailandra, who spent half of the visit in prison.

The three elders summarized the information they had collected. Ellie took out a leaf, and the elf words were recorded on the leaf like light spots.

It should be said that they did their best, especially Kailandra.

"Thank you for your hard work." As a fellow elf, Ellie knew how much Kailandra had sacrificed.

Kailandra looked away guiltily.

"Oh, Sister Ellie, I lied to him that you were only over 700 years old." Fioria remembered something. "Maybe he thought you were easier to fool."

"That kid doesn't have a bad heart, and I guess the same is true of his Liberty City."

Ellie finished recording in a dominant manner, and the leaves floated towards them, "You guys take a look too."

[Advantages: Kind, unbiased, a natural artist, yearning for peace and getting along well with all races, possessing unimaginable ambition, execution, and cohesion.] Fioria could hardly maintain her indifference and said in surprise, "Such a high evaluation?"

Ellie put away her innocent face and said, "Faced with a floating city made of mountain copper, it is hard for us to deny its future."

As long as Liberty City does not fall, it will surely be a rising star in human power.

Forming an alliance with such a force would not cause too much objection...but the decision still needs to be made by the Council of Elders.

"Okay, we have almost achieved our goal. Let's have a good rest in the remaining two days." She mainly said to Kailanzhuo.

……

A new day has arrived.

The first person to wake up in the City Lord's Mansion was the maid Abby.

She was about the same age as Annan, but in terms of seniority, Olmedo had not known Annan as long as she had, so the maids and cooks in the city lord's mansion all listened to her.

As usual, she first checked whether the maids were awake, then opened the windows to ventilate, swept the floor, and prepared everything before Annan woke up.

Wilhelm's merchant came and, in addition to delivering the second batch of ancient oak seeds, he also brought some companion acorns.

Abby, the maid who didn't know what the companion acorn was, put the acorns into a plate first and went to find Dad with the seeds.

Not long after she left the house, Annan walked out of the bedroom, stretching lazily.

He didn't see Abby, only a plate of large acorns on the living room table.

Annan, thinking it was sent by Aunt Susan, walked over, peeled an acorn, tasted it...it was similar to a raw peanut.

I checked the time. It was early morning. But the elves always woke up at dawn. This time was almost morning for them.

As soon as he put the shell on the table, Annan suddenly found that green sprouts had grown on the palm of his hand at some point.

Acorn Problems?
Rubbing the palm of his hand that had touched the acorn didn't hurt at all... Annan smacked his lips, and the lingering fragrance in his mouth woke him up, and he ran downstairs.

……

There was still some time left in the City Lord's Mansion, and the officials who had arrived early sat in the lounge on the first floor, chatting about what they had seen and heard in the past few days.

Romi from the reception department was talking: "Wherever the wood elf stepped, sprouts sprouted. She just walked around the fields and plants grew..."

Annan walked in at this time.

"Hey, everyone is here, what are you talking about? Why are you all looking at me like that?"

The officials looked at Annan's palm, and suddenly looked at Romi at the same time.

Luo Mi stood up in shock: "Lord Annan, you and..."

His colleagues rushed over and covered his mouth, saying repeatedly: "It's nothing, it's nothing."

"you……"

"We are talking about work! Lord Annan, you——"

"Then I won't bother you anymore."

After Annan walked away quickly, his colleague let go of Romi and complained, "Are you going to die? It's ok to just talk about it behind his back, but you have to say it in front of Lord Annan? Aren't you really afraid that he will bear a grudge against you..."

……

Annan looked down at the palm of his hand in confusion, seeing that there were more sprouts growing than before. He wanted to pull them out, but he didn't know if it would have any effect.

The elves should know what's going on?

Annan, who was about to go to the Mage Tower, changed direction and walked towards the embassy.

The elves had indeed woken up long ago and were blessing the World Tree with the three elders.

Annan didn't want to make a sound to disturb them, but the tender bud in his palm was about to split.

"Ahem... hello." Annan spoke deliberately to attract the elf's attention.

The elves did not respond, not because their blessing was interrupted, but because they could see clearly that while the human lord was speaking, a tender bud grew on his tongue.
