Chapter 1314 Invitation

The high priest waiter ignored the elf queen standing aside, bowed his head to me, and said respectfully: "The high priest said, Sir An Xiaoyi can come in, and his friends can come in, but no one is allowed to ask her questions. Nor can you plead.”

"Why?" I couldn't help but ask.

"The high priest said that your question has nothing to do with you. It is asked on behalf of your friend. She has already answered your friend's question many years ago."

"Can't you answer it again?"

"Yes," the waiter said with a smile, "but the high priest said it's not yet time."

I froze in place, a little dazed.

I thought I could show off my skills and beg the high priest for help. Unexpectedly, they already knew my intention and blocked all my exits before I even entered the door.

What a slap in the face!

With difficulty, I forced out a smile and spread my hands towards the Elf Queen: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, there's nothing I can do for you."

"It's already very good." The Elf Queen said, "Thank you for bringing me here and letting me hear hope. Didn't the high priest say 'it's not yet time'? In other words, one day in the future, my grandma will say She will still tell me the reason for that sentence, won’t she?”

The Queen's eyes were full of hope. She was eager to get a definite answer, eager to use it to dispel her inner uneasiness.

I nodded, my expression extremely serious, and I affirmed: "Yes."

Coming here this time was indeed a fruitless trip for me, because I didn’t get the answer I wanted.

However, the Elf Queen seemed very satisfied, and even the expression on her face was much more relaxed than when she came.

Although I didn't get a definite answer, at least I didn't refuse him flatly, leaving hope and expectation at the same time.

Before leaving, the waiter respectfully invited me aside and said softly: "The high priest said that Sir An Xiaoyi must be dissatisfied with the result, but the reality is like this. Some things cannot be rushed. , we can only wait and hope that Lord An Xiaoyi will remember the teachings of the High Priest."

After that, he walked back to where he was and respectfully saw us off.

When I got home and explained the matter to everyone, I was mercilessly criticized by Princess Analetta.

The little princess said unhappily: "An Xiaoyi, aren't you very powerful? How come you can't even handle this! Huh, that high priest was really rude. He didn't even want to pay homage to my sister. He actually gave the silent order. It’s so abominable!”

"No rudeness!"

Before Cagalli could speak, the Elf Queen took the lead and scolded her, saying: "Do you know who the high priest is? Just talk nonsense there!"

"Isn't he just a pretending orc?" Princess Analetta said aggrievedly.

The Elf Queen's eyebrows were raised, her face was sullen, and she was about to curse again. I quickly stopped her and said, "Your Majesty, let me speak on this matter."

I turned to the little princess and said: "Princess Analetta, you are still young and have limited knowledge. It is normal not to know. The orc tribe's high priest, she is an old woman who has lived for a thousand years, and she often helps Some people predict the future, and even your grandma received her favor back then, but for this reason, you should respect her, right?"

The little princess stared at me for a while, then suddenly turned her head and focused her gaze on the face of the Elf Queen. She saw the Queen nodding slightly, then she lowered her head and became silent.

The little princess has been favored by the Elf Queen since she was born, and has no parental control. She has always been unscrupulous. It can be said that except for her master Emily and the Elf Queen, there is no one to be afraid of.

Being able to bow his head this time is a rare admission of error.

Seeing that the little princess was like this, the Elf Queen stopped scolding her and patted her head gently as a comfort.

"By the way, Elder An Xiaoyi," the Elf Queen suddenly asked, "What did the orc high priest waiter say to you before we left?"

"He said that the high priest told me that some things cannot be rushed and can only be waited for. To be honest, I don't quite understand what this means."

After hearing my words, everyone was silent.

After a while, Cagalli said: "Since she is the high priest, she must have her reasons. Maybe there will be something like 'there is no rush, we can only wait' in the future."

I nodded and said half-heartedly: "Maybe."

After dinner, I sent the Elf Queen and others back, and then took a walk home alone. During this period, I kept thinking about what the high priest told me, but I just couldn't figure out what things could not be rushed and needed to wait.

If you think about it according to common sense, there are indeed many things that cannot be rushed. For example, when eating, you can't just pour it into your mouth right after it comes out of the pot. For example, when taking a bath, you can't just jump in without taking off your clothes. , you will definitely get scolded, and if you go to the toilet, you have to take off your pants first.

But obviously, the high priest would not be so boring.

After thinking about it until late at night, I still had no clue, so I simply stopped thinking about it and closed my eyes to rest.

The next day, there was no game.

Speaking of which, the five-to-three competition in the Zephyr Contest is not five teams in the literal sense, but six teams, namely: the Golden Flame Guild in Airey City, the Silver Wing Guild in York Han City, and the Iron Wolf Guild in Dasay City. , the Dwarf Guild of Fort Vicky, the Rose Legion of Moonlight City and the Rose Legion of Darcy City.

The latter two guilds have the same name but are independent.

Not only that, in the top ten competition, only the top five should be selected, but the results of the Cyber ​​City Rose Legion and the Silver Wings Guild were the same. It was difficult to choose between the two, and the referees refused to compete. After discussion, it was agreed that these six guilds would jointly enter the top five.

In order to prevent this situation from happening in the top five competition, the referee team agreed that only three of the six guilds can be left in the end. If the third and fourth place have the same results, there will no longer be a top three competition, but the third and fourth guilds will be separated. The four teams will be divided into three groups to compete for third place, while the top two will directly compete in the finals to compete for the championship and runner-up.

When the rules were finalized, there was a protest from one of the five major guilds, but the referees ignored the guild's protest in accordance with the concept of the minority catering to the majority.

Are you kidding me? Do the matters decided by the referee panel have to be changed upon protest? Where does this put the dignity of the referee panel!

It makes sense to think about it. The referee team invited for the Zephyr Competition are all important elders in the adventurer base. They cannot be threatened by ordinary people. Even if the other party is a city lord, you have to be careful when talking to them.

Although there was no match between Emily or the Dwarf Legion today, I still had to go to the arena to watch the match because I received an invitation that I couldn't refuse.

The initiator of this invitation was Fergus Raphael, the supreme leader of Dashai City, the leader of the orc clan, and the orc king.
