Chapter 32: Her Majesty the Queen VS Her Highness the Princess (1)
"Mister Dorje, tell me more about the Harvest Festival. I haven't participated in it before."
Ever since Dorje drank the magic Lafite once, he often switched between the magic Lafite and whiskey, so he spent a lot more time in the tavern.
He saw that Alan was really planning to participate in the Harvest Festival, so he decided to help out with the planning.
"The festival this time is different from the past, but I guess it still has some reference value," Dorje said as he smacked his lips to savor the fruit fragrance in his mouth, thinking over and over again.
"The original Harvest Festival was a yearly celebration of rye harvest in ancient times. Later on, the war on the Hailar continent continued, so it was impossible to hold it every year. However, every time it was held, it would be at different places depending on the location."
"Rock City always had the habit of holding a celebration, but it only happens once every few years. The current governor, Kramer, is a man who follows the tradition. Celebrations that he host are usually modeled off those in ancient times. It's just that this year, he said that he wanted to create something new, but I don't know what he wants to do."
Alan was deep in thought. If the governor had not decided on how to change it, could he give some advice?
"Mister Dorje, what do the Harvest Festivals in ancient times usually do?"
"Usually, each family would make some dish that's related to black wheat. Then, everyone would exchange and taste it. Finally, they would go to the square to participate in a gladiator competition. The winner would receive a reward."
After listening to it, Alan could not help but complain in his heart, 'The entertainment life in this foreign world is quite inadequate. Even after thousands of years of hosting this festival, there are still only such little activities...'
'No, this Harvest Festival in Rock City is the best time for me to rise. I must meet the governor or the administrative officer as soon as possible. I have a lot of plans in my mind. Any ideas can stun these people from this foreign world, Hahaha...'
"Heh... heh heh..." thinking of the success of the Harvest Festival that he had planned, Alan could not help but laugh at the scene of him being worshipped by all the aunties and young ladies in Rock City.
Dorje and Wayne looked at Alan's silly smile with disgust on their faces. They quietly switched tables and continued to drink.
..
Early in the morning, sunlight pierced through the fog in the forest, bringing light to every corner of the forest.
After the last few days, Olivia finally had a good night's sleep and woke up in high spirits, waited for Maya to bring her into the elven base.
Sophia, on the other hand, timed when Orina would wake up and went to look for her early in the morning. After finding out that she returned with the first batch of magic Lafite, the seven elven elders all came to look for the queen in high spirits, they all hoped that they would be the first to taste the magic Lafite.
"Orina, you successfully broke through!?" The moment she saw Orina, Sophia knew that she broke through. The magic pressure on her body was constantly spreading out.
"Yes, I succeeded last night! Sophia, you came back much earlier than I expected." Orina was also very happy to see Sophia, who she had not seen for a while.
"It seems that what you accumulated before was enough. That bottle of magic Lafite helped you successfully break through the final barrier," Sophia sighed.
"That's more or less what happened. What did you mean in your letter?" Orina suddenly asked about the letter that Sophia had sent back in advance. It said something that she cared about.
Sophia had a constipated look on her face. She did not know how to explain it. When she sent the letter, she was unhappy for her queen. After all, Alan came to be on such good terms with the little princess of the empire not long after her queen left.
However, after experiencing those two abnormal palpitations before she left, she did not want to discuss that young man with Orina at all. In short, Sophia's mood was very complicated now.
Fortunately, the news that she returned and came to find the queen already spread in the clan. The elders rushed over at the first opportunity. Just when they didn't know what to do, people started to come one after another.
Sophia let out a sigh of relief. As long as they can stall...
It had been many years since the eleven clan had such a scene. People who represent the strongest fighting power in the clan were all gathered on the platform outside Orina's treehouse. The seven elders, four field commanders, and Sophia were all Grand Mages or above.
"Sophia, let's try each of them first before we consider the distribution." The third elder was the financial officer of the entire elf clan. All the expenses in the tribe were under her control.
"Yes, yes, that's right. Let's help the children and taste it first." The smiling sixth elder agreed. She was in charge of the internal affairs of the elf clan.
Sophia took out all three levels of Lafite and took out oak cups according to the number of people.
Alan once said that if there were no glass or crystal cups, drinking red wine from oak cups was not bad. Therefore, Orina ordered to bring out the old oak stored in the clan and let everyone carve their oak cups. In the past half a month, there were some initial results. Almost everyone in the elf clan had an oak cup.
"Bang --"
After a muffled sound, a rich fruit fragrance wafted out.
The people sitting around were all intoxicated by the alluring fruit fragrance. However, to spoil the mood, a clansman suddenly passed on a message outside the treehouse.
"Her Majesty the Queen, Elders, captains, Maya from the guards sent news. The little princess of the Oreste Empire is waiting for the Queen's summons with her knights at their base."
After the elf delivered the news, she stood silently outside the courtyard, waiting for the lords' reply. Even though the fragrance in the queen's courtyard was very tempting, as a qualified messenger, she would never ask questions that were beyond her duties.
"Oh, I don't want to see them. Reject them fist," Orina stubbornly refused.
After receiving the answer, the messenger quickly left, afraid that he would ask about the fragrance if he stayed any longer.
The elves were drunk on the fine wine, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
In the garrison of the guards, Maya told Olivia the news.
"What! ? Why did the queen refuse? Didn't we agree to meet and talk about it?" Olivia said in shock, "No, it doesn't make sense. Maya, can you help me ask the reason why the queen refused?"
Maya thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
The messenger brought the message to the queen's treehouse again.
"This Lafite is really good. It's mellow and delicious."
"Yes, yes. This is the biggest harvest from Orina's trip."
"This is only low-level magic Lafite, right? Even at our level, we can feel the magic power."
"Yes, those little fellows are blessed. Moreover, as long as they absorb it fast enough, this magic Lafite can be drunk in unlimited quantities without any side effects."
...
The elders in the clan were discussing what they did not understand. The messenger felt that he almost forgot the purpose of coming over.
He patted his cheek lightly and said to himself, "Remember your duty!"
"My Queen, that human princess asked why you do not want to see her since it was agreed upon before. "
Orina frowned slightly. "I don't want to see her for the time being. Let her wait a little longer."
Hearing Orina's willful words, the great elder did not agree with her. However, it was not appropriate to directly question the queen in front of the young people. Furthermore, Orina had never been willful when it came to the matters of the Elf tribe, there must be a reason for her current actions. It was better to find out the reason before lecturing her.
