Chapter 61 The real reason
"What's going on?" Ganon narrowed his eyes suspiciously.
Lampard's proposal is obviously unreasonable.
Even if he not only did not harm Isabel but also persuaded her to go home, which increased the elf royal family's trust in him, normally he should not let Isabel stay with him without going home.
"Brother Wang, what do you mean?" Isbel asked Lampard timidly.
"I think this may be an opportunity. You should leave the palace for a while. It would be better for you to come back after everyone slowly forgets about this matter." When Lampard said this, he obviously avoided Isbeth. Your sight.
Can shocking things be easily forgotten? Ganon thought to himself on the sidelines.
Isabel, who was originally worried that her family would not accept her easily, interpreted another meaning: "What is this... You still don't want to see me, do you?" "I mean
. , everyone should keep a distance and calm down for a while. You see, the Queen Mother is also angry. When she is gone and misses you, it will be easier for you to talk when you come back, right?" Lampard continued to persuade.
"Has Queen Mother returned to the palace?" Isabel asked.
"She..." Lampard paused and replied, "She will be back soon." "If
she is willing to return to the palace, she must be willing to see me. Let me admit my mistake to her first." Isabel said seriously Said, she had made up her mind not to avoid this problem.
"It's better not to do it yet. Listen to me and stay here for a while." Lampard insisted.
Ganouen watched from the sidelines, and the more he watched, the more he felt something was wrong. Lampard's words and expression seemed a bit unnatural.
Isabel also obviously noticed this unnaturalness and tried to calm down: "Brother Wang, I know what I did made you very embarrassed. Running away from home this time also caused trouble for you. Don't be angry. We Let’s talk about it first, okay…”
"I just really think this is better." Lampard kept saying the same thing over and over again.
"Tell me the truth, do you think it would be better for me not to appear in the palace again? Because I am too embarrassing for you?" Isbel stared at Lampard.
"Of course not, how could you think so? It's just that this matter is more complicated than you think and it will take some time to deal with. Can you believe me first?" Lampard continued to persuade.
"How can I trust you if you don't even look at me!?" Isabel suddenly burst out.
Lampard finally raised his eyes to look at his sister. Isbel had already stepped back step by step, tears welling up in her eyes.
She finally plucked up the courage to face her family, but Lampard had no determination to take her seriously at all. His evasive and evasive attitude made her clearly feel the other party's rejection.
"You are basically fooling me. I admit that I did something inappropriate, but do you have to do this?" She said aggrievedly, turned around and ran towards Ganon's territory.
The guards around Lampard were on standby at the same time, but Lampard neither chased him nor ordered the guards to chase him. Instead, he sighed and looked at Ganouen: "Can I please help you? Mr. Ganouen."
"Zhenna, you go after her first." Ganon said to Zhenna.
"Okay." Zhenna immediately chased after Isabel's back.
"Thank you, I will definitely reward you heavily." Lampard nodded towards Ganouen.
"I haven't agreed to your proposal yet, unless you tell me the real reason." Ganon said.
Lampard's decision to let Isabel stay was obviously made on the fly, and the rhetoric was probably also made up on the fly. Lampard is actually not very good at lying.
Isbell had been worried, and Lampard's attitude made her sensitively think that her family was still unwilling to accept her.
But Ganoun felt that there might be some hidden meaning in this matter. Even if Isabel was not allowed to return to the palace, there would be a suitable place for her in such a big city as Muxia. There was no need to stay in the territory of a red dragon.
Lampard hesitated for a while, glanced at Isabel who had run away, and said: "Okay, but please keep this matter secret for the time being..."
Lampard then explained to Ganouen. A piece of shocking news was received:
Ten days ago, the southern region of Duixia was invaded by the coalition forces of the Dragon Backbone Empire and the Beishan Dwarves.
——In
the south of late summer, a fire broke out in the elven city, and smoke spread everywhere.
A force armed to the teeth gathered into a torrent of steel. The elite knights of the empire rode a land dragon and led the way, following the scent to track the retreating elves.
Their armor was constantly steaming, and their engines rumbled.
In the sky, hundreds of flying dragon cavalry were also searching for escaping enemy soldiers.
Dragon Spine Empire Knight King Lucio raised the Sky-Breaking Sword high on the back of a flying dragon, and let out a war cry that resounded throughout the sky: "Conquer! For Her Majesty the Queen!!" "For Her Majesty the Queen!" Along with the response, the torrent
of
steel The flow rate has increased somewhat.
-The
Empire's goal seems to be the mineral-rich lands within Breeze Forest.
Before this, they had sent envoys to negotiate with Mu Xia, but they did not make a decent offer. Mu Xia had no intention of doing so. In addition, the envoys were scornful, and in the end the two parties broke up on bad terms. The Elf King In anger, he expelled the envoys.
As a result, not long after, the empire declared war on Muxia on this grounds, and a large force directly invaded the southern part of Muxia. The dwarves of the Beishan Kingdom, who were allied with the empire, also contributed to this incident. Looking back, it all seemed like it had already been arranged.
With new weapons including steam armor, the balance almost immediately tilted towards the coalition of humans and dwarves. Muxia's side was retreating steadily and could only ask for help from the high elves of the Elemental Federation.
Before the reinforcements arrive at Mu Xia, the situation on several fronts is not optimistic, and the dark elf forces that have been hostile to Mu Xia may also be ready to make a move.
Maybe someone would want Mu Xia's situation to be worse and send assassins specifically targeting the royal family members of Mu Xia.
It can be said that the safety of the royal city in late summer may no longer be guaranteed.
This is the fundamental reason why Lampard chose to keep Isabel in Ganoen's territory.
"——This is probably what happened." In the Tower of Endlessness, Ganon explained the whole story to Isabel, "Lampard gave me a good price, on the condition that I hide it. I hope you can ensure your safety."
At this point, he remembered that he reminded Lampard that he had also been attacked by the empire here, and there were no troops from Mu Xia stationed here, so it was not a safe place at all. Lampard De unexpectedly replied:
"You have repelled at least two attacks from the empire, which is enough to prove your reliability. And no one wants to hide Bell here. Sometimes dangerous places are safer." The thinking mode of these brothers and sisters is quite good
. Like...
Although Lampard asked Ganouen to keep it secret on the grounds that "it would only make her worry in vain, and she might act impulsively," Ganouen didn't care at all.
He felt that this reason for keeping secrets was troublesome and awkward. Isabel should have the right to know, so he simply told her when he came back.
Anyway, when Lampard asked him to keep it a secret, he didn't agree to this part.
