Wolf King
Chapter 160 The Wolf Emperor's Friendship Claw
In his previous life, he was lucky to live in a peaceful country, and it was still a big country on the rise, which made Xiao Yun not pay enough attention to the safety of the surrounding environment and was paralyzed; The cruelty of this world does not have a clear enough understanding.
It wasn't until Yu's patrol team was attacked, and the clansmen who were as powerful as snow wolf warriors were carried back half dead, that Xiao Yun realized that after all, he had underestimated the law of the jungle between different races and different ethnic groups-pretending to be a grandson, Giving blood transfusions to the boss very well does not mean that it is absolutely safe!
Even if there is enough use value and interest binding, if the boss thinks that your bones are too hard, it will be difficult for people to lift up, and this bone will be broken!
This is not an incomprehensible principle. In fact, Xiao Yun has seen and experienced similar things in his previous life... After the Cold War, China is not "docile and low-key", and it is not uncommon to actively please American fathers , but the embassy was still bombed, the Yinhe incident still happened, and 811192 is still gone forever-no matter which world, between different fate groups and different interest groups, it is impossible to earn back true sympathy with meekness and low-key. peace!
After that, Xiao Yun adjusted the direction of the tribe's development. Instead of squatting at home and burying his head in the fields, he carefully and cautiously let the Snow Wolf tribe enter the vision of other tribes, with the attitude of the most yearning for peace, the most humble, respectful, safe and harmless. The image is facing the world; at the same time, we must pay close attention to the work of gathering the same clan, expanding the tribe, and expanding the symbiotic group...all in order to prevent our tribe from being randomly kicked by some bad boss so easily.
Putting on a harmless mask, Xiao Yun smiled and walked towards the forest elves. When he was about to get close, he slowed down and looked curiously and shyly at these "neighbors" most of whom he had never seen before.
"Teacher Ayun!" Evelyn found him, got up and waved quickly, and walked out of the seat to greet him, "Mr. Xiao En, Hongye is here too? Teacher, where do you live, why haven't you seen it before?"
"We saw you, yesterday morning." Xiao Yun said with a smile, "There are so many of you."
"Hey... By the way, teacher, this is my good friend." Evelyn pulled Xiao Yun to her seat, and the two forest elves who were originally sitting on the sofa stood up in good time, "Elizabeth, Susan, Elizabeth It's the daughter of General Kleist!"
Jumping briskly to the side of the two little friends, Evelyn proudly said, "Elizabeth, Susan, this is Teacher Ayun, and Mr. Xiao En and Hongye."
Elizabeth is an elf warrior with short hair. Her facial features are indeed similar to the elf general Xiao Yun has seen several times. She is very heroic and seems to be very interested in the snow wolf clan: "Wow, Ayun! There are also red leaves!" Come up happily Holding Hongye's big hand, he couldn't help looking up and down, "Much more handsome than the illustrations drawn by Kleist, hello Hongye, my name is Elizabeth, you can call me Liz."
Hongye: "Uh..."
"You are really strong, one and a half times as strong as Gretel (Kleist's nickname)." Elizabeth touched Hongye's arm curiously, and pulled her to sit down, "Do you drink fruit wine or juice? Yours The shoulders are so broad, this is the ginkgo fruit that is a specialty of the snow elves, eat this!"
Hongye: "Hmm..." Being touched made her very uncomfortable, so she cast her eyes on Ayun for help.
Xiao Yun silently turned his head away, pretending he didn't see it...
Susan's attitude was different from the frank and straightforward Elizabeth. This elf in robes just smiled at Xiao Yun faintly, but was somewhat interested in Xiao Yun, and reservedly chatted with the legendary magician.
Xiao Yun took advantage of the opportunity to sneak into the circle of friends of his disciples, chatted with Evelyn every sentence, and couldn't help looking at the Queen who was surrounded in the center from the corner of his eyes.
There were dozens of people from the forest elves, and according to Xiao Yun's observation, apart from Gwendoline, the only ones who could get close to the queen were a few men and women who also wore robes and looked of high status, and those who always stood behind the queen's seat. Young people like Evelyn and Elizabeth were mostly excluded from the two female officials. They were several circles away from the queen, and there was no chance to get close.
Evelyn noticed that Xiao Yun was a little absent-minded. She was alert and noticed where Xiao Yun's gaze was turning. She smiled and said in a low voice: "Teacher, you are very interested in our Queen? Her Majesty has no partner. But your age—"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Xiao Yun glared at her. "Our Snow Wolf Clan was invited by your teacher Gwendolyn and happened to be favored by the Queen. I was just wondering if there was a chance to express my gratitude."
"Ms. Gwendolyn doesn't care about these~" Evelyn smiled, "As for Her Majesty... I don't think it is possible for you to thank her in person." Quiet Mimi winked and lowered her voice Even lower, "Did you see those court mages beside Her Majesty the Queen? They don't allow 'superfluous' people to approach the Queen at all. Even Teacher Gwendolyn is very reluctant to have the opportunity to approach the Queen."
"Oh?" Xiao Yun showed just the right amount of surprise.
"Her Majesty is in poor health." Evelyn said softly, "After Her Majesty succeeded to the throne, she was unable to handle family affairs by herself. Part of the royal power was distributed to the female officials of the royal city, and part of the royal power was distributed to the court mages... The female officials are the group closest to Your Majesty. How can the court mage tolerate other people around the queen even if he has to take a step back in front of the female official?"
In the past, Evelyn didn't care about these things, even if the fierce struggle happened under her nose, she would be ignored by this elf girl.But after becoming Xiao Yun's disciple, especially after hearing so many stories about the "human kingdom" with the Snow Wolf Clan...she also knows how to distinguish the factions surrounding power.
Xiao Yun understood in seconds that this was a dispute between the inner court and foreign ministers surrounding the kingship.The elf queen doesn't look like a strong person in any way. If she indulges intentionally or unintentionally, this kind of internal fighting will only intensify with time... There is no such thing as a king who fights against heaven and earth like the elf king and the dark elf mistress. may appear.
Obtaining this information from his disciple, Xiao Yun felt hehe... Such a weak Her Majesty, Gwendoline, who used to be a court mage, was able to get into the embarrassment of being "decentralized", no wonder this Anas The airborne faction has connections and connections, but it's so full of flaws.
But in this way, it is obvious that he, a foreigner, has no way to find an excuse to get close to the queen, so he has to think of other ways.
"Is Anas just your teacher, or are there other 'sages'?" Xiao Yun asked in a low voice.
"Elder Mei Li is here too, Elizabeth's teacher." Evelyn nodded towards the seat next to her.
Following Evelyn's guidance, Xiao Yun looked over, and suddenly his body trembled... It wasn't because of Elder Meili, but because of the guy sitting beside Elder Meili—isn't that the warrior Kai?
"Hi, Kai!" Xiao Yun immediately waved excitedly.
Kai, whose back was facing this way, froze for a moment, and turned his head with a sad face... Du Te hid his face, how could he be recognized by this guy?
If Xiao Yun knew what Kai was thinking, he would definitely say——Apart from Hailin, the elf fighter in Anas that we are most familiar with is you, I can pinch the back of your head out with mud!
Elder Mei Li, who was whispering something to his disciple, moved his ears, raised his head and looked this way, and looked at the disciple with piercing eyes: "Kai, are you friends with Ayun from the Snow Wolf Clan? Why haven't you mentioned it? "
"Uh..." Kai's face was full of confusion.
Elder Meili frowned disapprovingly. Kai had no choice but to stand up holding his nose, and greeted stiffly: "Ayun."
"Hehehehe..." Xiao Yun immediately dragged Evelyn to this table cheekily, "Long time no see Kai, Elder Meili, hello, I'm Ayun."
"Sit down and talk." Elder Mei Li was dressed in neat light armor and had a heroic appearance. She enthusiastically invited Xiao Yun to sit down, and with her eyes forced Kai to bring a glass of fruit wine to Xiao Yun. He kindly said, "Yes. I have heard about you, Ayun from the snow wolf tribe, but unfortunately I have never had the chance to see you. I heard that you have a very close personal relationship with Kleist?"
The invisible friend-enemy discrimination radar on Xiao Yun's head was instantly activated—Kleist's daughter's teacher, with a slightly more enthusiastic attitude than the arrogant forest elf, who brought Kleist closer by talking about it— —Conclusion: This person is most likely a local faction of Ananas, and Gwendoline of the airborne faction can't piss in the same pot.
This is also logical. If Gwendolyn is in Ananas's hand, the local faction cannot be completely defenseless. This only depends on the fact that General Kleist, who is a local faction, can still hold the military power. Just know.
"I'm sorry to say that, but General Kleist has indeed taken care of our Snow Wolf Clan a lot." Xiao Yun immediately put on a flattered and shy expression that fit his age, "By the way, Kai and Hailin also treat us well." Very friendly, the first forest elf I knew was Kai."
Kai, who was pouring fruit wine from the jug, trembled and almost spilled the wine on the coffee table.
"Is that so, Kai?" Elder Meili asked with great interest.
"Heh, heh heh...Ayun, do you remember all of them?" Kai Zhan said with a smile.
"Of course, I'm still confident in my memory." Xiao Yun raised his eyebrows meaningfully.
Kai: "Hehehe..." So angry!But I still have to laugh, so angry!
Elder Meili: "..." Judging by her disciple's reaction, she could guess with her knees that Kai and Ayun probably weren't very friendly when they first met...
This elder is also a character, he acted decisively... Pretending not to see Kai's embarrassment, he turned his head and looked at Xiao Yun kindly: "Your tribe happens to be very close to our Ananas, even without Kai, we both Sooner or later we will know each other.”
Elder Meili had placed the bamboo pole here upright, and Xiao Yun would be too ignorant to climb along the pole, so he nodded and smiled immediately: "Yes, when our tribe moved here a few years ago, the patriarch felt that It is safer to be closer to the forest elves, so I chose to live in the place closest to the forest."
This flattery, Elder Mei Li smiled at the time: "It is our honor, Ananas, you Snow Wolf Clan has a special specialty in cooking, if there is no Snow Wolf Clan vermicelli and seasoning on the table, I will The kids don't like it."
After exchanging business bragging, both sides can basically confirm each other's attitude and position. Xiao Yun immediately took a bold step closer and said with a smile: "We Snow Wolf Clan like Suofan very much, so we thought, maybe everyone will eat it." If you are tired of bread, it would be better to have other staple foods to change the taste... Last year, our tribe worked hard to sell 500 million catties of vermicelli to you. I was a little worried that you would get tired of eating it. Since you like it so much, I Don't worry."
The pupils of Elder Mei Li's beautiful green eyes shrank slightly, and even Kai, who had complicated feelings towards Xiao Yun, couldn't help but gasped.
Evelyn felt that there seemed to be something wrong, so in order to avoid the silence, she echoed: "How could it be, teacher, every time I go back to Ananas, I can see a large row of shops selling vermicelli in the Municipal Materials Management Office What about the long dragon. My brother also said that it’s much easier to eat vermicelli without having to open the oven to bake bread every day~”
Although Evelyn, an elf girl, has Xiao Yun's training, she obviously lacks political sense. When I say this, not to mention Elder Mei Li's expressionless face, even Xiao Yun feels a little ashamed...
The 500 million catties of vermicelli sold to Ananas twice last year, based on the consumption of all the residents and villagers of Ananas City plus the adventurers, it is really too much to eat from the beginning of the year to the end of the year; such a saturated sales volume, Residents in the city still have to wait in long queues to buy vermicelli. What does this mean?
It means that the bulk of the 500 million catties of vermicelli did not flow to Anas at all!
Elder Meili couldn't control her facial muscles a little bit, and unconsciously clenched her hands on her knees into fists. Obviously, this was the first time this elder had heard this number. If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, Xiao Yun doubted whether she would jump up. curse...
"You guessed it right." Xiao Yun thought to himself, this is very stable.
He didn't dare to openly inquire about Ananas' information, and relied on obtaining it secretly from the outside, and then summed it up by himself, pushing it down logically:
The year before last, Gwendolyn, the airborne faction, was quite embarrassed. When he proposed to expand the scale of trade, he only mentioned soy sauce. Last year, the soy sauce transaction volume reached more than 1000 million catties. The bulk of political campaign funding.
Last year, due to the abundant manpower of the tribe at the beginning of spring and the ability to keep up with farming equipment, Xiao Yun expanded the scale of sweet potato planting and the production of sweet potato flour increased. Anas sold 500 million catties of vermicelli.
In the first transaction, Evelyn was a bit reluctant when she took away 200 million catties, but in the second transaction, Evelyn took away 300 million catties without saying a word—afterwards, she appeared in the forest elf team in the Ice and Snow King City, Gwendolyn, the "marginal man" who couldn't get away with licking the forest elf military boss the year before last, unexpectedly appeared beside the queen.
Calculating the flow of this batch of vermicelli is really no more difficult than solving a mathematical equation... At this moment, if you deliberately pretend to be ignorant and reveal it to see the reaction of this elder Mei Li, the answer can be written directly on paper.
The timeline on the earth, before 2000, the pain brought to the people of the earth by the terrorists created by the Yankees is indescribable. The terrorists crashed into the World Trade Center building, and the Yankee immediately jumped up with his ass on fire, and launched a military attack on Afghanistan with red eyes...
To the local faction in Anas who cried out that the warriors of the Snow Wolf Tribe were summoned by Nightmare Knights to maim and injure them, they might sympathize with you and shed a few tears, but they would never empathize with you, let alone sacrifice their own interests for You get ahead.
Only by letting them know that their own interests have been damaged and seriously violated, can Xiao Yun gain reliable allies!
Xiao Yun smiled proudly, and said with the vanity of an excited young man: "Since this is the case, then we will also produce more this year. If you Anas are willing to buy it, we can produce it like last year's soy sauce. I will also prepare a 1000 million catty vermicelli for you."
Evelyn said happily: "Teacher, you are bragging, Barr...how can you make so many fans, and you still have to sell vermicelli to Carlisle!"
"What's the matter? People's explosive power is forced out. Where there is pressure, there is motivation!" Xiao Yun said indifferently.
"Haha, teacher, if other people hear your words, they will cry!"
Elder Meili gritted her teeth and took several deep breaths, very firmly controlled the emotions that almost ran away, her pair of green eyes were so green that they gleamed dimly, and the roots of her teeth almost bleed from biting.
Evelyn is a leader among the younger generation of Ananas. Elder Meili doesn't doubt Evelyn's loyalty to Ananas. It's just that this young man who is not yet two hundred years old doesn't know that he has exposed his relationship with Xue. The actual trading volume of the Wolf Clan is known. Evelyn, the default "purchaser" of the Presbyterian Church, was also played and applauded by her teacher, Elder Gwendolyn.
Elder Mei Li didn't even know about the expanded vermicelli transaction last year!
Ananas City is still the same as the previous year. In the two transactions, the Municipal Materials Management Department only received 50 catties of vermicelli, 30 went to the market, and 20 were distributed to the troops of General Kleist and another elf general.
The whereabouts of the extra 450 million catties purchased with Ananas’ financial funds are unknown!
This was already enough to make Elder Mei Li angry, and Xiao Yun revealed that the trading volume of soy sauce last year was a full 1000 million catties. Double the profit (three copper coins per catty), and resell it to other cities or dwarf kingdoms, that's a full [-] gold coins in revenue!
This amount of money even exceeds the sum of the annual mining of the two gold mines... Where did the money go? !
Elder Mei Li looked at the extremely gorgeous spider silk robe on Evelyn's body with a gloomy expression. This forest elf warrior who is also about [-] years old can still maintain his rationality. After suppressing her anger, she remembered Evelyn. Lin also has an extra income—co-authored two travel notes with Ayun of the snow wolf tribe, which allows her to earn hundreds of gold coins more than other young elves every year.
As far as she knew, even the illustrations provided by Kleist were paid around two hundred gold coins, so Evelyn, as a co-author, certainly wouldn't lose much.
Taking a deep breath again, Elder Meili looked at Ayun, the snow wolf tribe who was talking and laughing with Evelyn, and the muscles on his face eased... This god of wealth has been monopolized by Gwendoline for so long, and it is time to "return" it to Anana It's gone.
After making up his mind, the elder of the local faction smiled gently: "I don't know much about trade. Elder Gwendolyn is in charge of these, and you have to listen to Elder Gwendolyn's advice on changes in trading volume. Opinion. Please forgive my curiosity, I heard that the population of your tribe is smaller than ours Ananas, can you be busy with such a large transaction volume?"
Xiao Yun seemed to see Elder Mei Li handing over the olive branch with both hands full of sincerity. At this time, he didn't mention the conditions, let alone when, he immediately made an embarrassed look, and said shyly: "Hehe... I'm really busy. Come on, our tribe has been working hard to gather more Snowwolves and Cats in the past two years, if there are more people, everyone will not have to work so hard."
Elder Mei Li's eyes lit up, the snow wolf clan's requirement is really too low!
With the blood transfused to Ananas by the snow wolves, they only have such low requirements, but Gwendolyn still angered such a perfect ally, forcing the snow wolf Ayun to take the opportunity of Frank's feast to come to her to seek Cooperation, Elder Mei Li simply doesn't know how to evaluate this!
It is obviously not something for a mature politician to take the liberty to make promises. Elder Mei Li did not take the risk of everything, and said tactfully: "I heard that life on the grassland is difficult. Scatter into tribes of different sizes to survive separately. Since you, the sage of the Snow Wolf Clan, can make your people no longer worry about food, then it is time for you to return to the life mode of your ancestors. If the Snow Wolf Clan can Establish a city-state on the grassland, as your neighbors, we, Ananas, will be very happy for you."
Xiao Yun suddenly felt refreshed all over his body, seeing this elder from the local Ananas faction was very pleasing to the eye - this is the normal ruler of the elves, and this is the style in line with the design of the elves! !
As long as the snow wolves don't grow rebellious heads like the tigers and don't know how to cover up one or two things, and know how to tie their own interests to Ananas tightly, it's no wonder that normal Ananas executives will deliberately embarrass them—— He manages Ananas as his own home. What’s wrong with having a lot of smart little brothers who are nearby for blood transfusions? Who would dislike having too many allies in their own family? ally? !
Needless to say, the olive branch stretched out by Elder Mei Li must be received, and it must be received with both hands!
"Elder Meili, I dare say that you really look like General Kleist to me!" Xiao Yun smiled, "When I first met General Kleist, I felt that he was very much like a general. Reliable elder, seeing you now, this feeling comes again... Oh, will I be rude if I say that?"
"Where is it, I would be very happy if I have a smart disciple like you." Elder Meili understood immediately, and accepted the friendship claw handed over by Xiao Yun unceremoniously, "Look at my two disciples, If Kay and Liz (Elizabeth) were half as smart as you, then I would be relieved." He patted Kay on the shoulder vigorously, making Kay cry or laugh.
"In my opinion, Kai is very good. After Hailin has a partner, she always shows off how good his partner is. Kai is much better." Xiao Yun also understood Elder Meili's implication, and immediately hit the snake and followed suit. On the stick, "Is that right Kay, Helene is really annoying right now."
"Uh... yes." Kai looked awkward, but he did find Xiao Yun pleasing to the eye a lot.
Xiao Yun immediately dragged Evelyn and Kai to say harmless bad things about Hailin who was not there. Elder Mei Li was watching over her, and Kai also had a grudge against Hailin who was selling dog food all day long. The somewhat arrogant guy unknowingly became friends with Xiao Yun...
Elder Meili looked at the disciple who did not disappoint her kindly, and turned her eyes towards the queen, revealing a slight sneer.
In the middle of the banquet, Xiao Yun, who had spent more than half an hour in the forest elf area, saw that the fire was about the same, and got up to say goodbye. Before parting, Elder Meili gave him a meaningful look, saying: "Elder Gwendoline once Served in the queen's mage group, it is said that she left due to some misunderstanding and came to the remote border town of Anas." Anas play.)
Elder Meili made it so clear that Xiao Yun didn't understand what she meant, so he smiled back and said to Evelyn, "Evelyn, your teacher is very good." (Translation: This girl is an idiot. Fork, she is not on the same side as her shrewd teacher, so don't accidentally hurt her.)
"Hey." The silly girl Evelyn didn't understand the true meaning of the two people's exchange at all, and she was still giggling.
Elder Mei Li smiled slightly. In fact, Xiao Yun didn't need to specifically hint that she would not target Evelyn, a local student of Anas.He gave Xiao Yun a comforting look (don't worry, I'm not stupid), and then turned to look at his ineffective disciple.
Kai had no choice but to stick awkwardly to Xiao Yun's side, not knowing where to put his hands and feet.
Xiao Yun acted as if he didn't see this guy's awkwardness, and naturally pulled Kai to find Xiao En. The moment he turned around, he had four big words in his heart: the overall situation has been decided!
The so-called villain takes revenge from morning to night, Xiao Yun thinks that he is definitely not a gentleman, and it's fine if he doesn't know. Since he knows that Gwendoline is not a good person, it's strange if he doesn't think about revenge.
It's obviously not easy to take revenge on the elders of a city... It's not that Xiao Yun has never considered taking advantage of the event of monsters appearing in the cursed land to apply eye drops in front of the queen, but this operation is too difficult-not to mention whether he can get close to the elves Queen, just because he is a foreigner and Gwendolyn is a forest elf, it is impossible for him to do this performance.There is no close relationship, this principle is universal in any world.
Fortunately, he had already made preparations for secretly communicating with the local Ananas faction. Those huge sums of money spent on Kleist were not in vain. The process of getting on line with Elder Mei Li who was allied with Kleist Smooth as silk.
The local faction may not know how much Gwendolyn has made, but he must be aware of it; his purpose is to get Gwendolyn to leave Ananas, and the interests of the local faction are the same as his, and The local party has a natural advantage over a foreigner like him...he is a forest elf himself!
Gwendoline is full of flaws, and the court ladies and current court mages are watching. Elder Mei Li wants to "give her a ride", and the difficulty of operation is not known to be lower than that of Xiao Yun, a foreigner~
Therefore, uniting all allies that can be united is the last word in struggle, and Mr. Mao is sincere and not deceiving~!
Returning to the seat beside Evelyn, Xiao Yun was shocked again.
Kleist's daughter, Elizabeth, and Hongye are stuck together, the little bird hugs Hongye's arm, and Hongye doesn't see what the little star in the other party's eyes means at all, and tells her very enthusiastically "The Daughter of the Sea"...
"... Nima, this place is also determined by the big orange." Xiao Yun stared at the dead fish eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
It wasn't until Yu's patrol team was attacked, and the clansmen who were as powerful as snow wolf warriors were carried back half dead, that Xiao Yun realized that after all, he had underestimated the law of the jungle between different races and different ethnic groups-pretending to be a grandson, Giving blood transfusions to the boss very well does not mean that it is absolutely safe!
Even if there is enough use value and interest binding, if the boss thinks that your bones are too hard, it will be difficult for people to lift up, and this bone will be broken!
This is not an incomprehensible principle. In fact, Xiao Yun has seen and experienced similar things in his previous life... After the Cold War, China is not "docile and low-key", and it is not uncommon to actively please American fathers , but the embassy was still bombed, the Yinhe incident still happened, and 811192 is still gone forever-no matter which world, between different fate groups and different interest groups, it is impossible to earn back true sympathy with meekness and low-key. peace!
After that, Xiao Yun adjusted the direction of the tribe's development. Instead of squatting at home and burying his head in the fields, he carefully and cautiously let the Snow Wolf tribe enter the vision of other tribes, with the attitude of the most yearning for peace, the most humble, respectful, safe and harmless. The image is facing the world; at the same time, we must pay close attention to the work of gathering the same clan, expanding the tribe, and expanding the symbiotic group...all in order to prevent our tribe from being randomly kicked by some bad boss so easily.
Putting on a harmless mask, Xiao Yun smiled and walked towards the forest elves. When he was about to get close, he slowed down and looked curiously and shyly at these "neighbors" most of whom he had never seen before.
"Teacher Ayun!" Evelyn found him, got up and waved quickly, and walked out of the seat to greet him, "Mr. Xiao En, Hongye is here too? Teacher, where do you live, why haven't you seen it before?"
"We saw you, yesterday morning." Xiao Yun said with a smile, "There are so many of you."
"Hey... By the way, teacher, this is my good friend." Evelyn pulled Xiao Yun to her seat, and the two forest elves who were originally sitting on the sofa stood up in good time, "Elizabeth, Susan, Elizabeth It's the daughter of General Kleist!"
Jumping briskly to the side of the two little friends, Evelyn proudly said, "Elizabeth, Susan, this is Teacher Ayun, and Mr. Xiao En and Hongye."
Elizabeth is an elf warrior with short hair. Her facial features are indeed similar to the elf general Xiao Yun has seen several times. She is very heroic and seems to be very interested in the snow wolf clan: "Wow, Ayun! There are also red leaves!" Come up happily Holding Hongye's big hand, he couldn't help looking up and down, "Much more handsome than the illustrations drawn by Kleist, hello Hongye, my name is Elizabeth, you can call me Liz."
Hongye: "Uh..."
"You are really strong, one and a half times as strong as Gretel (Kleist's nickname)." Elizabeth touched Hongye's arm curiously, and pulled her to sit down, "Do you drink fruit wine or juice? Yours The shoulders are so broad, this is the ginkgo fruit that is a specialty of the snow elves, eat this!"
Hongye: "Hmm..." Being touched made her very uncomfortable, so she cast her eyes on Ayun for help.
Xiao Yun silently turned his head away, pretending he didn't see it...
Susan's attitude was different from the frank and straightforward Elizabeth. This elf in robes just smiled at Xiao Yun faintly, but was somewhat interested in Xiao Yun, and reservedly chatted with the legendary magician.

Young people like Evelyn and Elizabeth were mostly excluded from the two female officials. They were several circles away from the queen, and there was no chance to get close.
Evelyn noticed that Xiao Yun was a little absent-minded. She was alert and noticed where Xiao Yun's gaze was turning. She smiled and said in a low voice: "Teacher, you are very interested in our Queen? Her Majesty has no partner. But your age—"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Xiao Yun glared at her. "Our Snow Wolf Clan was invited by your teacher Gwendolyn and happened to be favored by the Queen. I was just wondering if there was a chance to express my gratitude."

"Sit down and talk." Elder Mei Li was dressed in neat light armor and had a heroic appearance. She enthusiastically invited Xiao Yun to sit down, and with her eyes forced Kai to bring a glass of fruit wine to Xiao Yun. He kindly said, "Yes. I have heard about you, Ayun from the snow wolf tribe, but unfortunately I have never had the chance to see you. I heard that you have a very close personal relationship with Kleist?"
The invisible friend-enemy discrimination radar on Xiao Yun's head was instantly activated—Kleist's daughter's teacher, with a slightly more enthusiastic attitude than the arrogant forest elf, who brought Kleist closer by talking about it— —Conclusion: This person is most likely a local faction of Ananas, and Gwendoline of the airborne faction can't piss in the same pot.
This is also logical. If Gwendolyn is in Ananas's hand, the local faction cannot be completely defenseless. This only depends on the fact that General Kleist, who is a local faction, can still hold the military power. Just know.
"I'm sorry to say that, but General Kleist has indeed taken care of our Snow Wolf Clan a lot." Xiao Yun immediately put on a flattered and shy expression that fit his age, "By the way, Kai and Hailin also treat us well." Very friendly, the first forest elf I knew was Kai."
Kai, who was pouring fruit wine from the jug, trembled and almost spilled the wine on the coffee table.
"Is that so, Kai?" Elder Meili asked with great interest.
"Heh, heh heh...Ayun, do you remember all of them?" Kai Zhan said with a smile.
"Of course, I'm still confident in my memory." Xiao Yun raised his eyebrows meaningfully.
Kai: "Hehehe..." So angry!But I still have to laugh, so angry!
Elder Meili: "..." Judging by her disciple's reaction, she could guess with her knees that Kai and Ayun probably weren't very friendly when they first met...
This elder is also a character, he acted decisively... Pretending not to see Kai's embarrassment, he turned his head and looked at Xiao Yun kindly: "Your tribe happens to be very close to our Ananas, even without Kai, we both Sooner or later we will know each other.”
Elder Meili had placed the bamboo pole here upright, and Xiao Yun would be too ignorant to climb along the pole, so he nodded and smiled immediately: "Yes, when our tribe moved here a few years ago, the patriarch felt that It is safer to be closer to the forest elves, so I chose to live in the place closest to the forest."
This flattery, Elder Mei Li smiled at the time: "It is our honor, Ananas, you Snow Wolf Clan has a special specialty in cooking, if there is no Snow Wolf Clan vermicelli and seasoning on the table, I will The kids don't like it."
After exchanging business bragging, both sides can basically confirm each other's attitude and position. Xiao Yun immediately took a bold step closer and said with a smile: "We Snow Wolf Clan like Suofan very much, so we thought, maybe everyone will eat it." If you are tired of bread, it would be better to have other staple foods to change the taste... Last year, our tribe worked hard to sell 500 million catties of vermicelli to you. I was a little worried that you would get tired of eating it. Since you like it so much, I Don't worry."
The pupils of Elder Mei Li's beautiful green eyes shrank slightly, and even Kai, who had complicated feelings towards Xiao Yun, couldn't help but gasped.
Evelyn felt that there seemed to be something wrong, so in order to avoid the silence, she echoed: "How could it be, teacher, every time I go back to Ananas, I can see a large row of shops selling vermicelli in the Municipal Materials Management Office What about the long dragon. My brother also said that it’s much easier to eat vermicelli without having to open the oven to bake bread every day~”
Although Evelyn, an elf girl, has Xiao Yun's training, she obviously lacks political sense. When I say this, not to mention Elder Mei Li's expressionless face, even Xiao Yun feels a little ashamed...
The 500 million catties of vermicelli sold to Ananas twice last year, based on the consumption of all the residents and villagers of Ananas City plus the adventurers, it is really too much to eat from the beginning of the year to the end of the year; such a saturated sales volume, Residents in the city still have to wait in long queues to buy vermicelli. What does this mean?
It means that the bulk of the 500 million catties of vermicelli did not flow to Anas at all!
Elder Meili couldn't control her facial muscles a little bit, and unconsciously clenched her hands on her knees into fists. Obviously, this was the first time this elder had heard this number. If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, Xiao Yun doubted whether she would jump up. curse...
"You guessed it right." Xiao Yun thought to himself, this is very stable.
He didn't dare to openly inquire about Ananas' information, and relied on obtaining it secretly from the outside, and then summed it up by himself, pushing it down logically:
The year before last, Gwendolyn, the airborne faction, was quite embarrassed. When he proposed to expand the scale of trade, he only mentioned soy sauce. Last year, the soy sauce transaction volume reached more than 1000 million catties. The bulk of political campaign funding.
Last year, due to the abundant manpower of the tribe at the beginning of spring and the ability to keep up with farming equipment, Xiao Yun expanded the scale of sweet potato planting and the production of sweet potato flour increased. Anas sold 500 million catties of vermicelli.
In the first transaction, Evelyn was a bit reluctant when she took away 200 million catties, but in the second transaction, Evelyn took away 300 million catties without saying a word—afterwards, she appeared in the forest elf team in the Ice and Snow King City, Gwendolyn, the "marginal man" who couldn't get away with licking the forest elf military boss the year before last, unexpectedly appeared beside the queen.
Calculating the flow of this batch of vermicelli is really no more difficult than solving a mathematical equation... At this moment, if you deliberately pretend to be ignorant and reveal it to see the reaction of this elder Mei Li, the answer can be written directly on paper.
The timeline on the earth, before 2000, the pain brought to the people of the earth by the terrorists created by the Yankees is indescribable. The terrorists crashed into the World Trade Center building, and the Yankee immediately jumped up with his ass on fire, and launched a military attack on Afghanistan with red eyes...
To the local faction in Anas who cried out that the warriors of the Snow Wolf Tribe were summoned by Nightmare Knights to maim and injure them, they might sympathize with you and shed a few tears, but they would never empathize with you, let alone sacrifice their own interests for You get ahead.
Only by letting them know that their own interests have been damaged and seriously violated, can Xiao Yun gain reliable allies!
Xiao Yun smiled proudly, and said with the vanity of an excited young man: "Since this is the case, then we will also produce more this year. If you Anas are willing to buy it, we can produce it like last year's soy sauce. I will also prepare a 1000 million catty vermicelli for you."
Evelyn said happily: "Teacher, you are bragging, Barr...how can you make so many fans, and you still have to sell vermicelli to Carlisle!"
"What's the matter? People's explosive power is forced out. Where there is pressure, there is motivation!" Xiao Yun said indifferently.
"Haha, teacher, if other people hear your words, they will cry!"
Elder Meili gritted her teeth and took several deep breaths, very firmly controlled the emotions that almost ran away, her pair of green eyes were so green that they gleamed dimly, and the roots of her teeth almost bleed from biting.
Evelyn is a leader among the younger generation of Ananas. Elder Meili doesn't doubt Evelyn's loyalty to Ananas. It's just that this young man who is not yet two hundred years old doesn't know that he has exposed his relationship with Xue. The actual trading volume of the Wolf Clan is known. Evelyn, the default "purchaser" of the Presbyterian Church, was also played and applauded by her teacher, Elder Gwendolyn.
Elder Mei Li didn't even know about the expanded vermicelli transaction last year!
Ananas City is still the same as the previous year. In the two transactions, the Municipal Materials Management Department only received 50 catties of vermicelli, 30 went to the market, and 20 were distributed to the troops of General Kleist and another elf general.
The whereabouts of the extra 450 million catties purchased with Ananas’ financial funds are unknown!
This was already enough to make Elder Mei Li angry, and Xiao Yun revealed that the trading volume of soy sauce last year was a full 1000 million catties. Double the profit (three copper coins per catty), and resell it to other cities or dwarf kingdoms, that's a full [-] gold coins in revenue!
This amount of money even exceeds the sum of the annual mining of the two gold mines... Where did the money go? !
Elder Mei Li looked at the extremely gorgeous spider silk robe on Evelyn's body with a gloomy expression. This forest elf warrior who is also about [-] years old can still maintain his rationality. After suppressing her anger, she remembered Evelyn. Lin also has an extra income—co-authored two travel notes with Ayun of the snow wolf tribe, which allows her to earn hundreds of gold coins more than other young elves every year.
As far as she knew, even the illustrations provided by Kleist were paid around two hundred gold coins, so Evelyn, as a co-author, certainly wouldn't lose much.
Taking a deep breath again, Elder Meili looked at Ayun, the snow wolf tribe who was talking and laughing with Evelyn, and the muscles on his face eased... This god of wealth has been monopolized by Gwendoline for so long, and it is time to "return" it to Anana It's gone.
After making up his mind, the elder of the local faction smiled gently: "I don't know much about trade. Elder Gwendolyn is in charge of these, and you have to listen to Elder Gwendolyn's advice on changes in trading volume. Opinion. Please forgive my curiosity, I heard that the population of your tribe is smaller than ours Ananas, can you be busy with such a large transaction volume?"
Xiao Yun seemed to see Elder Mei Li handing over the olive branch with both hands full of sincerity. At this time, he didn't mention the conditions, let alone when, he immediately made an embarrassed look, and said shyly: "Hehe... I'm really busy. Come on, our tribe has been working hard to gather more Snowwolves and Cats in the past two years, if there are more people, everyone will not have to work so hard."
Elder Mei Li's eyes lit up, the snow wolf clan's requirement is really too low!
With the blood transfused to Ananas by the snow wolves, they only have such low requirements, but Gwendolyn still angered such a perfect ally, forcing the snow wolf Ayun to take the opportunity of Frank's feast to come to her to seek Cooperation, Elder Mei Li simply doesn't know how to evaluate this!
It is obviously not something for a mature politician to take the liberty to make promises. Elder Mei Li did not take the risk of everything, and said tactfully: "I heard that life on the grassland is difficult. Scatter into tribes of different sizes to survive separately. Since you, the sage of the Snow Wolf Clan, can make your people no longer worry about food, then it is time for you to return to the life mode of your ancestors. If the Snow Wolf Clan can Establish a city-state on the grassland, as your neighbors, we, Ananas, will be very happy for you."
Xiao Yun suddenly felt refreshed all over his body, seeing this elder from the local Ananas faction was very pleasing to the eye - this is the normal ruler of the elves, and this is the style in line with the design of the elves! !
As long as the snow wolves don't grow rebellious heads like the tigers and don't know how to cover up one or two things, and know how to tie their own interests to Ananas tightly, it's no wonder that normal Ananas executives will deliberately embarrass them—— He manages Ananas as his own home. What’s wrong with having a lot of smart little brothers who are nearby for blood transfusions? Who would dislike having too many allies in their own family? ally? !
Needless to say, the olive branch stretched out by Elder Mei Li must be received, and it must be received with both hands!
"Elder Meili, I dare say that you really look like General Kleist to me!" Xiao Yun smiled, "When I first met General Kleist, I felt that he was very much like a general. Reliable elder, seeing you now, this feeling comes again... Oh, will I be rude if I say that?"
"Where is it, I would be very happy if I have a smart disciple like you." Elder Meili understood immediately, and accepted the friendship claw handed over by Xiao Yun unceremoniously, "Look at my two disciples, If Kay and Liz (Elizabeth) were half as smart as you, then I would be relieved." He patted Kay on the shoulder vigorously, making Kay cry or laugh.
"In my opinion, Kai is very good. After Hailin has a partner, she always shows off how good his partner is. Kai is much better." Xiao Yun also understood Elder Meili's implication, and immediately hit the snake and followed suit. On the stick, "Is that right Kay, Helene is really annoying right now."
"Uh... yes." Kai looked awkward, but he did find Xiao Yun pleasing to the eye a lot.
Xiao Yun immediately dragged Evelyn and Kai to say harmless bad things about Hailin who was not there. Elder Mei Li was watching over her, and Kai also had a grudge against Hailin who was selling dog food all day long. The somewhat arrogant guy unknowingly became friends with Xiao Yun...
Elder Meili looked at the disciple who did not disappoint her kindly, and turned her eyes towards the queen, revealing a slight sneer.
In the middle of the banquet, Xiao Yun, who had spent more than half an hour in the forest elf area, saw that the fire was about the same, and got up to say goodbye. Before parting, Elder Meili gave him a meaningful look, saying: "Elder Gwendoline once Served in the queen's mage group, it is said that she left due to some misunderstanding and came to the remote border town of Anas." Anas play.)
Elder Meili made it so clear that Xiao Yun didn't understand what she meant, so he smiled back and said to Evelyn, "Evelyn, your teacher is very good." (Translation: This girl is an idiot. Fork, she is not on the same side as her shrewd teacher, so don't accidentally hurt her.)
"Hey." The silly girl Evelyn didn't understand the true meaning of the two people's exchange at all, and she was still giggling.
Elder Mei Li smiled slightly. In fact, Xiao Yun didn't need to specifically hint that she would not target Evelyn, a local student of Anas.He gave Xiao Yun a comforting look (don't worry, I'm not stupid), and then turned to look at his ineffective disciple.
Kai had no choice but to stick awkwardly to Xiao Yun's side, not knowing where to put his hands and feet.
Xiao Yun acted as if he didn't see this guy's awkwardness, and naturally pulled Kai to find Xiao En. The moment he turned around, he had four big words in his heart: the overall situation has been decided!
The so-called villain takes revenge from morning to night, Xiao Yun thinks that he is definitely not a gentleman, and it's fine if he doesn't know. Since he knows that Gwendoline is not a good person, it's strange if he doesn't think about revenge.
It's obviously not easy to take revenge on the elders of a city... It's not that Xiao Yun has never considered taking advantage of the event of monsters appearing in the cursed land to apply eye drops in front of the queen, but this operation is too difficult-not to mention whether he can get close to the elves Queen, just because he is a foreigner and Gwendolyn is a forest elf, it is impossible for him to do this performance.There is no close relationship, this principle is universal in any world.
Fortunately, he had already made preparations for secretly communicating with the local Ananas faction. Those huge sums of money spent on Kleist were not in vain. The process of getting on line with Elder Mei Li who was allied with Kleist Smooth as silk.
The local faction may not know how much Gwendolyn has made, but he must be aware of it; his purpose is to get Gwendolyn to leave Ananas, and the interests of the local faction are the same as his, and The local party has a natural advantage over a foreigner like him...he is a forest elf himself!
Gwendoline is full of flaws, and the court ladies and current court mages are watching. Elder Mei Li wants to "give her a ride", and the difficulty of operation is not known to be lower than that of Xiao Yun, a foreigner~
Therefore, uniting all allies that can be united is the last word in struggle, and Mr. Mao is sincere and not deceiving~!
Returning to the seat beside Evelyn, Xiao Yun was shocked again.
Kleist's daughter, Elizabeth, and Hongye are stuck together, the little bird hugs Hongye's arm, and Hongye doesn't see what the little star in the other party's eyes means at all, and tells her very enthusiastically "The Daughter of the Sea"...
"... Nima, this place is also determined by the big orange." Xiao Yun stared at the dead fish eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
