Chapter 542 King
(1/3)
"Mr. Li, how about this bonfire dinner?"
Li Guanqi was sitting in front of the bonfire, watching a group of handsome guys and beauties singing and dancing, when suddenly a man's whisper came to his ears.
He turned around and looked up, seeing Cade standing behind him.
The bonfire burned and crackled.
The bright yellow firelight shone on this handsome elf's face, seeming to erase a bit of the cold temperament on his body.
Speaking of which, this guy didn't even change his clothes. He was still wearing the gray singlet he wore during the treatment... In fact, it seemed that Li Guanqi had not seen this guy since the dinner started.
"The dinner was great, but it seems like it's not your place to ask me this question."
Li Guanqi took a sip of the honey liqueur, and then looked at Cade in front of him with a strange expression, "After all, you didn't come to this dinner yourself, but you came to ask me how the banquet was, and you always seemed to feel that something was a little weird...
So where have you been?"
"I didn't go anywhere, just sitting in the back garden."
Cade said and sat down on the right side of Li Guanqi.
"Na."
Li Guanqi casually took out a glass bottle of honey liqueur from the wine box next to him.
"Thanks."
Cade took it, unscrewed the bottle cap, and took a polite sip. Then he put it on the ground and looked at the elves singing and dancing around the campfire in front of him, his eyes wandering.
"You came to chat with me?"
Li Guanqi looked at him and couldn't help but smile, "It's strange, I thought you would hate me because I am a human being."
"You were right about the evening."
Cade looked at him and said seriously: "Tell me, human beings are groups, and communication depends on individuals.
Indeed.
Some human beings have given me tragedy, but I cannot resent all human beings for this reason.
Just like some elves bullied me, but there were also some elves who gave me warmth.
And you, Mr. Li, as a human being, also, maybe we can be friends."
"Am I right?"
Li Guanqi smiled and shook his head, "I'm afraid that's not entirely true."
"Um?"
Cade was a little confused.
"Did the Queen say something similar to me?"
Li Guanqi took a sip of honey liqueur, turned his head and looked at another part of the Bonfire Square.
There, Olena, the Queen of the Night, wearing a green dress, without the airs of a queen at this time, was celebrating and dancing with several blond female elves, and the laughter continued.
"I'm just a human being, so what am I?"
Li Guanqi looked at Olina's figure and chuckled: "No matter what I say makes sense, you won't listen carefully. The only explanation is that the Queen went to you in the evening and said something similar to me to convince you.
Then you agreed to come with her for treatment, right?"
"..."
Cade was stunned, "You can guess this..."
With that said, the handsome night elf shook his head, "Mr. Li, you are a smart guy, but unfortunately I don't like smart guys. You people always make me feel stupid, and I'm annoyed by this feeling.
"
"Hahahahahaha!"
Li Guanqi couldn't help but raise his head and laugh when he heard this.
Seeing this, Cade also smiled.
"Come on, let's go."
Li Guanqi picked up the mead bottle, smiled and stretched out his hand.
"cheers."
Cade also smiled, picked up the wine bottle and touched the bottle with him, making a soft "ding-dong" sound.
Two transparent glass wine bottles, yellow mead liquid was shaking.
The bonfire was burning, and the beautiful singing voice of the elves lingered over the square.
Li Guanqi and Cade, a human and a night elf, just sat together, watching the elves' celebration ceremony, silently, only clinking bottles to toast from time to time.
"Why do I feel that you are not happy?"
Suddenly, Li Guanqi glanced at Cade beside him, "Why is there something wrong with your attitude on this happy day? I always feel that you seem a little vaguely sad? Or is this my misunderstanding? You handsome guys just like to be melancholy.
wind?"
"Melancholy wind? I don't understand what you are talking about."
Cade shook his head slightly, and then looked at the bonfire square, with a somewhat complicated look in his red eyes, "Today is of course a good day, there is no doubt about it."
"But I can't be happy."
The night elf lowered his head and sighed softly, "Because after tonight, the Kingdom of Dark Night will probably cease to exist. The Dark Night Home that Your Majesty has worked hard for decades to build will fall apart and go their separate ways after tonight.
"
"ha."
When Li Guanqi heard this, he just shook his head and laughed, then raised his head and drank a few sips of honey liqueur.
He actually doesn't like to drink, but this thing is more of a wine than an alcoholic drink with a slight alcoholic content, the kind with honey added. It tastes very sweet, like flat Sprite.
"The Queen herself should know very well."
Li Guanqi put down the bottle of wine and said softly: "After all, the person who invited me here is the Queen herself. She actually understands that the existence of the Night Kingdom is because the Queen gave the night elves a home, and this united all the night elves.
But now the night elves are no longer night elves.
Except for you, Denison and the Queen herself, all the more than 6,000 night elves in the entire Kingdom of Darkness have now returned to their original appearance.
Since they are no longer troubled by the 'terrible hunger', it is natural to leave.
Those who were not discovered by their own tribe only need to make up an excuse, and then they can return to their original elf tribe. At worst, they can say that they were abducted and trafficked by the Daluo Yiren Mansion during the years they disappeared.
Anyway, it doesn't matter if Daluo Yiren Mansion takes the blame.
Even those who are discovered by the original tribe... can hide their names, disguise their identities, change their lives in an elf tribe, and return to the world of elves. I remember that there seem to be many "elf forests" in the Ayabel Prairie, right?
yes.
If you think about it carefully, there is really no need for them to follow the queen anymore."
Having said this, Li Guanqi lowered his head, looked at the yellow wine in the bottle in his hand, and said softly: "So, for a country to unite, do its people have to make a profit? If there is no interest in uniting, it will fall apart.
Sooner or later? Even if they were so loyal and worshipful to the Queen?"
"They are all a bunch of white-eyed wolves."
Cade was expressionless, "If there was no queen, 50% of those singing and dancing would be slaughtered by the elves, the other 30% would be abducted and trafficked by the Daluo Yiren Mansion, and the other 10% would die tragically for various reasons.
, only the remaining 10% can survive.
It was obviously the Queen who gave them dignity, but when they no longer needed the Queen, they actually wanted to leave. In the past few days, I have heard various plans to leave in the entire City of Giant Trees, which is chilling.
"
Having said this, Cade turned his head, looked at the group of singing and dancing elves, gritted his teeth, "Once they recovered, they forgot how the queen usually..."
"Everyone!"
Suddenly, on the other side of the bonfire square, Olena, wearing a green dress, raised a glass of potpourri wine and laughed loudly: "Let's drink to a new life!"
"cheers!
!”
All the elves stopped what they were doing, singing, dancing, barbecuing, etc. At this time, they all raised their wine glasses and bottles and loudly echoed their Queen.
"cheers."
Even Li Guanqi was moved by the atmosphere when he saw this scene. He looked in the direction of the queen and raised the mead in his hand with a smile.
"Let me say a few words, okay?"
Olina drank the wine in her glass in one gulp, and then she walked step by step to the sky. She looked around and looked at her more than 6,000 people with a smile on her face.
The elves in the square also quieted down, preparing to listen to the Queen's speech.
"Our journey has not been easy."
Olina looked at the elves with gentle eyes and chuckled: "There are a total of 6572 elves in the Kingdom of Dark Night. Some of them were following me when we were the Dark Night Tribe. Of course, more are still here.
To be continued...
