She Is Not a Witch Chapter 309: The knight in the shade

In March of spring, all kinds of flowers bloom in the Emerald Forest, and the cold north wind in the past is gradually weakening now, becoming warm and warm.

On the forest road leading to the Emerald Garden, a team of hundreds of knights is slowly moving forward. They wear large lion mane cloaks, their horses are also covered with white cloth armor, and their straight lances are like Classical artwork, the triangular flag hangs under the gun point.

These knights had long swords on their waists, and large lion-faced round shields on their saddles. As the horses stepped forward, the armor rubbed slightly and made noises. Even though they were not in a fighting state at the moment, it still made the elves in the forest feel A brave and powerful momentum.

"That's the Duke of Griffin, the white lion knight of the Salius family?"

On the tall redwood tree house, a few elves overlooked the team below, discussing in low voices.

"Yes, it is said that the White Queen Tesslin sent the eldest son of the Griffin family, Jailan, as an emissary to visit the Elven Queen."

"What kind of attention is this? Doesn't the Duke of Griffin know about the connection between my Emerald Forest and the nobles in the East?" An elf archer asked puzzled.

"Who knows, maybe the other party has some new ideas or ideas that can convince the big shots in the Emerald Court."

"Ha~, I'm really bothered. I don't care about the thoughts of these big shots. I'll go to the Bellflower Corolla first. I heard that a mission from the ice elves recently came there and brought many interesting things."

"Very beautiful ice flower decoration, and a special snow silk dress. I heard from my sister that it looks good. Now many noble girls will buy one."

"Does it look so good? Our Emerald Forest is a popular weathervane for the empire, and we are so bowed down." Another elf woman didn't believe it. She was sitting on a tree branch, wearing white lace with emerald edges dress.

"It's hard to say, after all, the ice elves are similar to us, and the aesthetics are not bad."

"Let's go and have a look, I'm getting tired of being at home recently."

"Okay, okay, I'll go with you this time. By the way, should we also buy a 'Flying Bird'? This kind of aircraft has been seen more and more in the forest recently. Sometimes I also Want to try."

"Well, let me think about it. I know a friend who works in the Chamber of Commerce. She buys goods from the south, which will be much cheaper."

As the elves spoke, they slowly turned their attention away from the knight team, and then easily shuttled through the tall tree crowns.

Giant sequoias more than 100 meters high are all over the forest. The road under the shade of the trees meanders through the forest, occasionally turning over tree roots like hills, and sometimes passing under a certain giant tree. Can see the hut built among the branches of the giant tree.

It looks like a mushroom, scattered but gathered distribution, the red and blue colorful roofs distinguish it, and it is very beautifully decorated. Occasionally, some elves can be seen coming in and out. Reflects bursts of white light.

"What are you thinking about, Mr. Jelanen."

Among the knights, a handsome knight in dark blue armor rode forward and asked about the blond and majestic man.

"It's nothing, I just feel that elves are indeed different from humans." The eldest son of the griffin raised his head, revealing his sculpted face. A sense of vicissitudes and maturity.

"Indeed, elves are quite different from humans in terms of lifespan, concepts and customs. Most elves in the empire now return to the forest to live, and those outside are very rare." But then continued to ask.

"Master Jelanen is still a bit reluctant to let go, the arrangement of the Duke this time is too..."

"Okay, don't say any more." Jailan let out a long sigh, interrupting the friend's words.

"Grace, we've been together since we were little, haven't we?"

"Yes, my lord, since I came to the Duke's house at the age of 10, I and other attendants have accompanied you to practice martial arts and study."

"Well, I understand. This is my father's hope that I will have a good relationship with the next generation of vassals. After I inherit the title as an adult, you will probably become the real power lords of various places in the Western Region." Jaylan said for some reason These well-known arrangements from the upper level of the Western Territory.

Almost every generation of duke heirs will get a group of companions when they were teenagers. They are the heirs of the great nobles in the west, and many of them are even the eldest sons. These people have learned and grown up with the future duke since childhood, and cultivated each other. I believe that when they reach adulthood, they will each inherit the title, and they can continue to maintain this relationship, thus making the rule in the west stable.

Whether it is for the Griffin family as the duke or the nobles as vassals, this is a good thing.

However, the development of things will not be so absolute.

As Jaylann grew up, these companions around him gradually reached the age of inheriting the family business and titles, and the power gathered around him became stronger and stronger, and his voice and influence in the Western Region became stronger and stronger. bigger and bigger.

If it is according to the old plan or expectation, at this time, the old Griffin Duke is already in his twilight years, his energy and ability have declined significantly, and he will gradually transfer his power and affairs to Jay Lanen, allowing him to experience and grow step by step , Cultivate prestige, until finally inheriting the title, becoming a new generation of Grand Duke Griffon, in charge of the entire Western Territory.

But now there is an unexpected variable, that is, the witch carved in the holy white stone, imitating Waslin's recovery.

Witches are regarded as disasters or blessings, variables of fate, such legends and nicknames are not without reason, perhaps it is just an unintentional change of them, which will bring many effects.

In order to quickly make the Western Territory stronger and integrate forces, Imitation Vaslin did not choose the young Jaylann at the time, but supported the more ambitious and obsessed old duke.

Under the blessing of the witch, this lion, which should have been aging, grows its fangs again, restores its former glory, begins to realize the once suppressed ideas step by step, and constantly competes for the highest throne of the empire.

In the upper echelons of the Western Empire, there are even rumors that the old duke will marry the current Queen Tesslin and become the nominal prince and actual ruler of the empire.

Although the Duke of Griffin did not admit this rumor, he did not publicly deny it, which caused many people in the empire to waver and think about the direction of the future.

If this matter is achieved, it also means that the children of the Duke of Griffin and Queen Tesslin will become the next generation heirs of the empire, possessing both the crown of the empire and the crown of the Western Territory. Very awkward position.

His best result is to inherit the Western Region, but if this means taking away most of the territory of the Western Empire, then the next generation of emperors will become a joke and a puppet.

Obviously, for the sake of future continuation and strength, the old Griffin Duke, who is the most powerful, is definitely unwilling to split the crown.

At this time, the existence of Jailan became an obstacle.

Perhaps it is because the father and son gradually realized this problem with each other. In the past two years, the communication between the two sides has become less and less, more and more indifferent, and Jay Lanen's two younger brothers are more and more affected by the Griffin. The duke's favorite, and now he has even started to take over part of the legion to cultivate his own power.

In the end, I don't know which wise man and staff member gave the old duke a suggestion, that is to let Jaylann go to the Emerald Forest to unite with the forest elves.

"This mission, in fact, is also a division." Jailan turned around and looked at the mighty and strict white lion knights behind him.

These knights are all his confidantes or bodyguards, and now his father generously sent them all out to let them go with him, just to reassure him and work hard to achieve the goal of this visit. In fact, this is the best relationship between father and son in the future. arranged.

For this trip, he will carry Queen Tesslin's will and propose to the current Elven Queen Achenvera. If possible, he will also live in the Emerald Forest in the future, serving as a bridge between the Western Empire and the Emerald Forest. link.

Such a result means that he voluntarily renounced the duke's inheritance rights, and the two parties can maintain a peaceful relationship in the future, so that they will not continue to split.

From the point of view of interests, it is quite a good idea, but personally, it is difficult to call it a good thing.

Although Jay Lanen did not marry Fa Xiner, in fact he had accumulated a lot of affection for this girl, and even dreamed of their happy life together after marriage.

But I don't want things to change so quickly. The empire collapsed and fissioned. The relationship between the northern border and the western border changed from alliance to suspicion, and then to hand in hand again. The relationship changed several times in the middle, which made his position become awkward and ugly. .

In the past, no one dared to ridicule and talk about the eldest son of the duke, but now some nobles began to whisper suspicion and ridicule.

Laughed at him for not keeping his fiancée, laughed at this clown-like behavior, failed to marry the Trey family, and ran to the Emerald Forest again.

The stigmatized rumors and rumors spread from the corners, but the culprit could not be caught, so that after the incident, Jailan quickly understood it.

In fact, just think about it, who in the west would dare to take such a big risk and spread such a thing, would it be of any benefit to them.

It will not be those ordinary nobles, nor those familiar vassals of the great nobles. As for the remaining candidates, Jailan no longer wants to guess.

The Griffin family in the west is the biggest force, and it is impossible to have a stronger existence than it.

Since you don't want me to inherit this title, why stay in this sad place.

After receiving the mission order, Jaylann counted the knights under his command, asked his former companions, and set off with those who were willing to follow.

"Grace, do you think the Elf Queen will agree to such an outrageous or even offensive request this time?"

Jelann waved the reins, let the war horse trot forward, and opened a small distance with the knights behind him to facilitate conversation with his companions.

"I don't know, Your Highness." Grace shook her head.

"Although the historical records in the empire show that the former founding king, the red prince Yalin, captured the hearts of Her Majesty the Elf Queen with his eloquence and handsome appearance, but after many years, people revisited the time. There are too many coincidences and accidents in this marriage."

"How did an ordinary prince of a human country overcome the obstacles of many elf guards in the forest, avoid the interference of those elf sages, and meet the elf queen who was going out in private."

"And that elf queen was so pure and innocent that she agreed to the prince's marriage proposal, and none of the elders and sages objected."

"Even at the wedding scene, more than a dozen witches came to give blessings, which is simply incredible."

"The history of the rise of the Green Empire, looking back now, is like a legend, full of surprises and miracles everywhere."

"Although our visit this time is the order of Her Majesty the Queen, in fact, everyone knows that Her Majesty is just a stamp and a helpless signature. It is the Duke who is really in charge."

"Father told me at the time that after arriving in the forest, someone will naturally meet me, and then the other party will tell me how to persuade the queen." Jaylan shook his head, he couldn't figure out what conditions the Duke of Griffin had prepared , so confident.

Although he and his father are currently at odds, if the negotiation fails, not only will he lose face, but the Griffin family will also become a laughing stock in the empire.

'He actually proposed to the current elf queen, who does he think he is? The legend of the wind and the moon? It's hilarious. ’ Words like this may immediately spread throughout the empire.

Thinking of this, a wave of gloom accumulated in Jailan's heart. The eldest son of the griffin, who was bold and unrestrained in the past, has now become much more decadent and dazed, making the followers behind him sigh.

But even so, they didn't know how to persuade the young lion. After all, it was a conflict within the Griffon family. They are vassals, and sometimes they have to be cautious in their words and deeds, and think more about the family behind them. .

White armor and cloak, big lion-like round shield, and long mane on the shoulders are still mighty. These elite white lion knights of the Salius family escorted their masters step by step into the depths of the forest.

Birds fly by, the breeze blows, and some fallen leaves slowly float down. Among the old and new leaves on the branches, flowers bloom in full bloom.

——————

A court of emeralds, a crown of three-color feathers.

In the courtyard full of flowers, several familiar figures are sitting on the white cloth among the grass, with several plates of rare fruits in the middle, and a few small wine jugs in it, some of which have been opened and flow out. Rich and fragrant bouquet.

"Do you want some wine, Your Highness Jialan?"

A elven man sat on a white cloth and asked with a flagon in one hand. He had short blond hair, and the ruby ​​pendant beside his ear shone brilliantly in the sun.

"No need. Thank you Lord Eperion." Lorraine Hill shook her head, she didn't drink much.

"His Royal Highness Jialan is still unmarried, so don't force her to drink, it's better to give me more, Eporion." Hua Delin was lying in the grass at the moment, biting the grass stalk he had just picked, looking at the Gradually towards the bright sun in the middle.

"Then this bottle will be given to you directly, Hua Delin." Eporion picked up the flagon in his hand with an unchanged expression, and handed it to the person lying beside him.

"You two, you only know how to drink, how are things doing now." Westena approached the grass, bent and sat beside Lorraine Hill, resting her head on the girl's lap , eat the fruit in front of you.

"As for the purpose of the eldest son of the griffin, I have sent someone to inquire clearly. In addition, we have a general understanding of the completion of the conservatives." Hua Delin began to talk about the latest information.

"First of all, it is the first test 'Falling Fire Basin and Lotus Dress', we are sure to win this."

"The second test, the Jade Twig and the Forgotten Jade, we already have the Jade Twig, but the team sent by the other party seems to have gained something after going to sea, and it is likely that they also got the Jade Jade, so this Estimate first as a tie."

"The third item, Cloud Splitting Beast Horn and Wang Mi's Wind, I'm sure that the conservative side failed, because they sent several groups of people into Titania, but they couldn't get out. Then I just gave up."

"The fourth item, Ye Zhishi and Star Painting, now we have almost completed Ye Zhishi, only one section is missing, unless the other party brings out the complete Xingtian painting scroll, which is almost impossible. "

"So, even if you don't look at the fifth item, we have won this duel." Hua Delin said relaxedly.

"If only it were this easy." Veistena shook her head.

"Everything is not over, it is always easy to have some variables. It is true that we have the advantage at present, but sometimes we are afraid of some problems."

"Vistena is still very cautious, please rest assured, I will also help this time." Eperion raised his glass, toasted the former senior sister, and then drink.

"Really, then I can look forward to it." Vestana lowered her head and picked up the small wine glass on the white cloth, and took a sip as well.

For this nominal junior, she has been unable to see through each other for a long time. Although Eperion has never shown any malice towards her, it is difficult for her to get along with other people, yes This one is open minded.

In the eyes of outsiders, Eporion is undoubtedly a painter with a melancholy atmosphere. His usual words and deeds are also so elegant and almost perfect. He is handsome and powerful~IndoMTL.com~ It can be said that there are many admirers in the forest Many people are proud to imitate his painting style and words and deeds.

However, Vestana knew that although this junior behaved flawlessly, it was hard to say that this situation was his true thoughts or state. She was one of the few people who knew the past of this junior.

When Eperion met Lorraine Hill for the first time, he said that his youth and youth were unbearable. His helping hand, this sage painter, may have died in a corner of a dark alley long ago.

Beautiful elves, regardless of gender, are excellent high-quality goods in the underground black market of the empire.

The date for the announcement of the results of the five tests is approaching, and the emerald forest is slowly becoming lively.

In each corolla, the elves in the town gradually rushed towards the Emerald Garden, and there were even a lot of airships from the outside world in the sky.

In another month, this trial showdown will come to an end, and where will the forest go in the future? Everyone is full of curiosity and anticipation.
