The seven pigeons rushed to the Underworld Farm.
The Underworld Farm, which was originally home to only the dead, now seems very noisy.
It is the nature of many creatures to join in the fun, including humans and goblins. What's more, this kind of fun is extremely rare.
A large group of goblins gathered together, filled with indignation:
"Severe punishment! Severe punishment is a must! Such a vicious incident has never happened in our God's Chosen City."
"That's right! So what if they are guests? We are hospitable and willing to make our guests feel at home. But guests who bully us are not guests, but enemies!"
"Edward and Domran were almost killed by the elves. I saw them take out bows and arrows and daggers with my own eyes."
"And the staff!"
"Yes! And the staff! This is murder, just like those damn mages."
The elves' actions seemed to trigger the goblins' unpleasant memories.
They were all extremely angry at this time and vowed to seek justice for the butler goblin Edward and the vampire Domran.
"My Lord! This way please."
Edward, who was leading the seven pigeons, deliberately cleared his throat and made a loud sound.
When the goblins heard the noise, they all turned around.
When they saw Qi Ge coming, they all showed excited expressions:
"The Lord is here!"
"My Lord will definitely bring justice to Edward and Domran!"
The goblins cheered and made way for the seven pigeons.
Qi Ge walked to the middle of the goblins and looked around.
He discovered that not only the fairies came over, but also the local races of the God's Chosen City, such as the cavemen and flower fairies, as well as the sea elves and sea boars that had just moved to the Golden Sea.
Now, things became even more troublesome.
After the Undying Tree returned, all the sea people, harpies, swamp boars, sea boars and elves who originally lived in the Undying Tree, except the elves, joined the Chosen City.
But the elves were, after all, their comrades who had fought against Chaos together, and they had deep feelings for them.
How Qi Ge deals with the elves will not only affect the opinions of the old subjects, but will also definitely affect the opinions of the new subjects.
No matter which way the scale tilts, the other side will be dissatisfied.
In other words, because Qi Ge was not at the scene at the first moment, the incident escalated.
This incident has evolved from a simple attack into a factional struggle.
This can be clearly seen from the expressions of the people at the scene.
Most of the old leaders like the goblins looked angry, dissatisfied, and expected Qi Ge to stand up for them.
The sea people and sea boars were basically worried, nervous and uneasy.
To them, it didn't matter why the elves attacked Edward and Domran; what mattered was the fact that the elves were attacking.
The safest way to deal with this matter is to procrastinate.
First put the handling of the incident on hold, let it cool down, and use time to calm the people's emotions.
Then, big things become small, small things become nothing, and gradually the matter is left unresolved and dealt with secretly.
The advantage of doing this is that it will not arouse stronger confrontational emotions. At the same time, if Qi Ge wants to show leniency or punish him severely, it will be easier to do so.
But the downside of doing so is that it will invisibly damage the credibility of Qi Ge itself and even the entire leadership of the God-Chosen City.
The people in the territory may not notice it in a short period of time, because they all have their own work and do not have time to focus all their attention on this matter.
But once such things accumulate, irreversible doubt and denial will arise, and no matter how much work you do or how many nice things you say, it cannot be reversed.
The situation of unity and harmony that the God's Chosen City had worked so hard to create would collapse.
Qi Ge felt that he could not set this precedent.
So he stood up and said loudly to all the people:
“Everyone, I am your Lord Seven Doves.
Some of the people present here are familiar with me, while others are less familiar with me.
But I hope everyone can believe that I will give you a relatively fair result in this incident.
The elves are our guests and our comrades who have fought against Chaos together with us.
I believe that they would not attack our subjects without any reason.
They attacked Edward and Domran, and they must have had their motives and reasons, or maybe even a misunderstanding.
I will sort out all of this clearly and then carefully consider how to deal with it. I will never act recklessly, nor will I allow anyone to act recklessly.
I will question the elves later, but I will not allow you to express strong hostility or unconditional indulgence towards the elves before the matter is clarified.
One is one, two is two.
Those who should be punished should be punished, those who should be punished should be punished, and those who should be released should be released.
I promise that all of you will be able to openly see my handling process, and the entire process will be put under the sun.
I will send someone to collect your opinions after I finish processing it.
If too many people have opinions about my handling of the matter, I will collect and organize their opinions and reconsider my handling plan.
I may not change my decision because of individual voices.
But I can guarantee that in my territory, every citizen has the right to express their opinions, and no voice will be ignored.
This is also the tradition that our God-chosen City should maintain, everyone is equal and we are united."
"good!!"
Edward clapped his hands vigorously beside the Seven Pigeons, and the old citizens who had lived in the God's Chosen City for a long time also cheered.
The sea people and the sea boars looked at each other. They were all very surprised as to why the fairies, who were just indignant, suddenly calmed down after Qi Ge came and said a few words.
Although they didn't understand the reason, they could all sense that Qi Ge possessed extremely terrifying personal prestige in the God's Chosen City.
After calming down the people, Qi Ge immediately rushed to the scene of the incident.
Behind the Seven Pigeons, the originally disorganized subjects formed themselves into neat rows like an army and followed the Seven Pigeons.
When he arrived at the scene, Qi Ge immediately saw the elves trapped by a group of [cage monsters].
Fei Rui had a serious expression on his face, looking at the elves majestically.
It was obvious that the soldiers who imprisoned the elves were from the forces of hell, but the elves' hateful gazes were fixed on Domlang who was standing beside them.
"Fei Rui, what's going on?"
Qi Ge walked behind Fei Rui and shouted.
Fei Rui turned around and saw Qi Ge, and the poise he had been trying so hard to maintain suddenly relaxed.
"Wow! You're finally here, I'll leave this place to you.
Really, I run into this kind of trouble just to get some food, and it delays my research on the ballista."
Seeing that Fei Rui was about to put away his Heroic Soul Army, Qi Ge said quickly:
"Don't be anxious, you haven't told me what happened here at that time?"
"Ah, nothing."
Ferry said:
"I was getting a pumpkin when I heard angry shouts. I turned around and saw the elves picking up Edward and pressing him against a rock.
Then Domran rushed over and shouted at them to let go.
Then some elves took out bows and arrows to shoot at Domron, some elves took out daggers, and some elves took out magic wands, as if they wanted to kill Domron.
I saw that this was not going to work, so I captured all the elves."
Qi Ge frowned.
This process was basically the same as what Edward said. In fact, Edward even intentionally downplayed the elves' aggressive behavior.
Qi Ge probably understood what Edward was thinking.
Edward knew the elf was his guest and didn't want to embarrass him.
Qi Ge then asked:
"Did you hear what the elves shouted?"
"I heard that clearly, ahem!"
Fei Rui coughed, imitated the elves, pretended to hold something, and shouted loudly:
"You have deceived us. You are actually the running dogs of the undead! Tell me! You haven't captured our other compatriots yet?"
"Captain! It's a vampire!"
“Damn, this is a trap.
Prepare for battle! Kill without mercy! "
"For the Elf Empire~~~"
Fei Rui exaggeratedly performed a few actions and performed it vividly, then coughed and said:
"Ahem, that's probably it."
Seven Pigeons: ...
Qi Ge looked at the elves' reactions and found that they had no objection to Fei Rui's description.
Given the elves' straightforward nature, if there was anything untrue in Fei Rui's description, they would have jumped out to refute it long ago and would not have endured until now.
In other words, from a factual point of view, Edward and Domran did not commit any offense at all, it was just the elf going crazy.
"What kind of madness are you guys going through?"
Qi Ge has a headache.
He put on a stern face and walked up to the elf.
Far from being afraid, the elves stared at the seven pigeons with vicious eyes.
From the look in their eyes, Qi Ge could tell that if they were not trapped, they might even attack themselves.
Qi Ge asked in a deep voice:
“ During the time since I came back from the Immortal Wood, I have asked myself if our God-Chosen City has done anything malicious to you.
Why did you openly attack my subjects?"
"Bah! Traitor!"
The older wood elf who had communicated with Qi Ge before looked at Qi Ge angrily, and seemed to be even angrier than Qi Ge:
"We trusted you so much, but you became a lackey of the undead!
Have you forgotten the deep hatred and the countless innocent compatriots who died tragically?"
Qi Ge: ???
Qi Ge was confused. He frowned and asked:
“I don’t understand what you’re saying at all.
What do the hatred and tragic deaths you talk about have to do with my people?
My subjects have never harmed any elves."
"As long as they are undead, they deserve to die!"
Another elf immediately said:
“They are vile pretenders, the root of all evil, more damnable than Chaos.
You are committing depravity by associating with the dead."
Qi Ge frowned, and slammed the ground hard with the Scepter of Silence in his hand. With a bang, a big hole was created on the ground.
He raised the Scepter of Stillness and said seriously:
"I warn you, whatever hatred you may have towards the undead is your business and has nothing to do with the people in my territory.
Your hatred of the undead is not a reason or excuse for you to attack my people.
This is not the Elf Empire, and I am not affiliated with your Elf Empire. Please don't use your values ​​to hold me hostage.
You don't deserve it.
Now, I am asking you seriously why you attacked my people.
If you still refuse to communicate and blame others, I will deal with you severely."
The elder elf's blood boiled, and he roared at the seven pigeons:
"Bah! Don't be so hypocritical. Even if you kill me, we will not accept the judgment of the dead.
Do you think we are afraid of you?
The Empire will remember your sins, my compatriots will avenge me, and our Empire's army will tear those of you who collude with the undead into pieces!"
"Empire, Empire, Empire, I'm so tired of it.
Your arrogance disgusts me.
How many times do I have to tell you before you remember that the Elf Empire was destroyed long ago!
Even if the Elf Empire has not perished, I will not allow you to harm my people.
Don't want to say it?
Then reflect on yourself first."
Qi Ge put away the Staff of Silence and said to the caveman behind him:
"Come here, put them in the cell and detain them for a week, and prepare to hold the God's Chosen City Trial Assembly."
"yes."
A group of strong cavemen immediately came over and lifted up the entire [caged monster].
The elves were obviously broken. There were no swear words in their language, so they could only curse the Seven Pigeons for being as black-hearted as the undead.
This time, the situation is even more difficult to resolve.
Qi Ge rubbed his brows and said to the fairy beside him:
"Go and ask Elena to come to the Castle Lord's Castle to find me."
"Yes, my Lord!"
At this moment, Domran and Edward came to Qige and whispered:
"My Lord, there is no need to go to such great lengths."
"Yes, sir, it doesn't matter if we suffer a little injustice. Look, we are not injured, are we?"
"Maybe it's just a misunderstanding."
"Yes, yes."
Qi Ge felt warm in his heart. He knew that Edward and Domlang were singing the same tune just to relieve some pressure on himself.
He laughed and said to the two of them:
"Don't worry, this matter won't be difficult for me.
You are not at fault in this matter, and I will not let you suffer this in vain."
…
…
After hearing the whole story of the elf incident from Qi Ge, Elena frowned and sighed:
"well.
The Elf Empire is the pride of the elves.
The elves were once so powerful and glorious. Even the weakest elves would puff out their chests with pride when speaking of the greatness of the Elf Empire.
Even in the present Avili, there are still many elves who are immersed in their former glory and are unwilling to wake up.
As for the elves, they had actually only been away from the Elf Empire for sixty-three years.
How could they forget the arrogance brought to them by the powerful Elven Empire? "
Qi Ge tapped his forehead and said:
“What’s troublesome now is not their attitude.
It's just a few scoldings, it won't hurt me, I don't care.
The trouble is, what to do with them.
Also, Elena, do you know why they show such hatred towards the undead of the Chosen City?
I know that the elves of Avili hate the undead, but I have never been as indiscriminate as they are."
Elena bit her lip and said:
“Actually, I’m not sure, but it’s probably related to the demise of the Elf Empire.
When I was a child, I heard from my people that the undead once caused a natural disaster in the Elven subcontinent , and countless elves died at the hands of the undead disaster. "
“Countless elves died at the hands of the Undead Scourge?
Could it be that the extinction of the Elven Subcontinent was caused by the invasion of the Undead?"
Qi Ge was a little surprised.
"But I remember that the history books of the Yasha world recorded that the demise of the Elf Empire was due to the third Chaos invasion."
Elena nodded and said:
“Yes, my mother also told me that the Elf Empire was destroyed because of the Third Chaos Invasion.
But it is also true that the Undead Scourge broke out in the Elven Subcontinent. Some older tribesmen still remember the sight of the Undead killing people in the Elven Subcontinent. "
Qi Ge touched his chin and said:
"I understand. Perhaps some of the elves' clansmen or compatriots died in the Undead Scourge, so they are particularly sensitive to the undead?
Do the elders of your Silver Elves also hate the undead as much as they do?"
Elena shook her head and said with a complicated expression:
“That’s what’s weird about me.
I remember very clearly that the tribesmen who told me about the outbreak of the Undead Scourge never mentioned seeking revenge against the Undead, nor did they show any deep hatred for the Undead.
This is very abnormal.
Qi Ge, you should know that we elves will repay kindness and fight to the death to avenge hatred.
It’s not wrong to even say that we elves are the most vengeful race in the world of Yasa.
It is possible that you cannot understand, but from the perspective of us elves, if the Elf Empire really had an outbreak of an undead plague that caused heavy casualties, the elves' behavior would be normal.
But the behavior of my people is abnormal."

Seven Pigeons: ...
Two demigod-level tasks were actually triggered in succession!
"It's really a mystery."
Qi Ge rubbed his forehead and said:
“Once things are settled in God’s Chosen City, can I go back to your place with you, Elena?
I want to meet your people, and I also want to meet Grandpa Huan Teng who helped us connect."
"sure."
Elena looked at Qi Ge, laughed, and said:
“But you’d better take Galaxy with you.
Even though I am the heir of our tribe, my status in the tribe is far lower than yours.
If the Milky Way hadn't opened the way, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to get in."
“Is it so realistic?”
Qi Ge smiled bitterly.
"That's how realistic it is. Since the fall of the Elf Empire, you are the only one who has established an alliance with us."
Elena pointed at herself and said:
"If I hadn't awakened the same bad luck constitution as my mother, perhaps I wouldn't have had the chance to travel in the Yasha world, and naturally I wouldn't have met Teacher Widis. "
At this point, Elena laughed again:
“Misfortune and luck always go hand in hand.
It is also because of my bad luck that I was able to meet you."
Qi Ge touched Elena's hair and said softly:
"Yes, this is your bad luck and my good luck."
"oops."
Elena held Qi Ge's hand and asked:
"Have you figured out how to deal with those elves?"
Qi Ge shook his head and said:
"I haven't thought about it yet, let's put it off for a week."
"If it doesn't work, I can use some clever methods.
For example, expel those elves from the country and forever prohibit them from approaching the God's Chosen City.
For the subjects, being deported is an unimaginably severe punishment, and they generally have no objections.
But those elves didn’t want to stay with me in the first place, so this punishment is not too severe for them.”
Elena had a strange expression:
"Is this even possible? Qi Ge, you are too mean."
Qi Ge knocked on the table, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he said softly:
"You haven't seen me at my worst yet."
Elena shyly knocked on the seven pigeons and said:
"Hate it! Haven't I seen this several times in the Sea of ​​Chaos?"
"Ahem, that's not the place."
Qi Ge was embarrassed.
He took Elena's hand and asked:
"Elena, I want to trick Avili, do you have any objection?"
"Won't."
Elena answered decisively:
"Avili is mainly a lineage of gold elves, and they are not on the same side as us silver elves.
You can cheat as much as you want, but if you get into trouble, I can still find a way to help you repair the relationship."
"That's good."
Qi Ge nodded at the table and stared into the distance in a daze:
“The most valuable thing about these elves is actually their intelligence value.
They contain many clues about the Elf Empire.
But given the current situation, they will definitely not cooperate with me.
Since I can't pry open their mouths, I will pry open Jenny and Melodia's mouths."
Elena: ???
Elena touched her lips with a rather strange expression.
"Say it again, whose mouth are you trying to pry?!
Qi Ge, we, the silver elves, practice monogamy!
I don't care about other races, but you can only have me as your silver elf wife."
"Not prying that mouth."
Qi Ge was halfway through explaining when he suddenly realized something was wrong.
"Wait a minute, what did you just say?"
"You can only have me as your silver elf wife!"
Qi Ge asked doubtfully:
"If I remember correctly, Malaudia is a gold elf and Jenny is a human."
Elena shook her head and said:
"This involves the secrets of our elven royal family.
Malodiya is the only half-blood in the entire elf race who has both gold elf and silver elf bloodlines.
The probability of breaking through is one in a billion, a miracle that never happens again.
When she was born, the elves even thought it was a gift from the goddess of fate.
So, Jenny can, but Malodia can’t, absolutely not.”
Qi Ge recalled the appearance of Malodiya and asked in shock:
"That's not right. Malodiya's hair is all gold, not a single strand of silver."
Elena blushed and said shyly:
"Hey, we elves don't just have hair on the top."
Qi Ge: "Not only the top, that's...hiss..."
"Hate it, stop imagining that, close your eyes now and erase the image from your mind!"
"I washed it off, I washed it off. No, I didn't think about it."
"You said you never thought about it, I'll poke your eyes out."
