Game of the World Tree - Chapter 995
 Maple Moon is led freely, the capital Ze Luolan.
    The parliament building in Liberty Square is brightly lit and full of seats.
    On the square outside the building, a huge crystal screen projected the scene of the venue, and the square was crowded with people.
    All the leaders cast their eyes on the solemn high platform in the parliament building.
    Today is a special day.
    Known as the light of life, Fengyue Freedom Leader, ushered in the 80th anniversary of independence.
    At the same time, this is also the day when the results of the general election of Fengyue Freedom Leader’s consul officially come out.
    In the venue, representatives from all walks of life gathered together, dressed modestly.
    Their eyes focused on the elegant and beautiful figure on the podium, with a respectful look.
    Sophia von Wells.
    She is the founder of Fengyue Freedom, a great leader of freedom, and the saint of life in the human world.
    At the same time, she is also the person most admired by all the young men and women of Fengyue Freedom.
    Today she looks more beautiful and noble wearing a white dress.
    She was holding a magic microphone in one hand and a golden scroll in the other. She smiled, and her elegant and beautiful voice resounded above the venue:
    “Next… I announce”
    “According to the final voting result, from Als City City officer Mr. Blake Schwartz was elected the 21st Fengyueling Chief Executive with 77.5% of the votes!”
    “Let us congratulate Mr. Blake Schwartz with warm applause!” The words
    fell. Deafening applause resounded throughout the hall, resounded across the square, and resounded above the sky of Fengyue’s free collar.
    Participants stood up and congratulated Blake Schwartz, who was sitting at the forefront of the stage.
    Blake Schwartz was a middle-aged gentleman who looked about fifty years old, with white hair on the temples.
    He was excited, and his eyes were still in a daze.
    Sophia cast his eyes on him.
    She gave a ridiculous smile, and said:
    “It seems… our new consul doesn’t seem to be ready yet.”
    “Hahahaha…” There was
    a burst of laughter from the audience.
    Sophia stretched out her hand and pressed it down slightly, and the parliament hall instantly became quiet.
    She continued to pick up the microphone and smiled and said:
    “Mr. Blake Schwartz has 30 years of ruling experience. He has served as the governor of Brookwood City, Limestone Harbor, Ols City and other areas. Amazing.”
    “Under his management, Ximu Town was officially ascended, the population of Liyan Harbor tripled, and Als City developed into the most shining star city in the entire region…”
    “I believe, Under his leadership, our Fengyue Freelancer will also create even more brilliant achievements!” After the
    speech, warm applause sounded again in the venue.
    Sophia turned his gaze to Blake Schwartz again, showing an encouraging smile:
    “Mr. Blake Schwartz, please come to the podium.”
    All eyes were on Blake Schwartz. Ci’s body.
    The middle-aged gentleman had recovered his calm at this moment, but the slightly moist corners of his eyes indicated that his heart might not be as calm as it seemed.
    He took a deep breath, stood up from his seat, dignified his clothes, and then walked towards the high platform, obviously a little nervous.
    Halfway through, even almost fell, causing a burst of laughter again.
    “Slow down… don’t get excited…”
    Sophia said with a smile.
    Blake was embarrassed and scratched his head embarrassedly.
    After he stood up, a guard in uniform came to Aunt Sophie’s body and offered a tray with both hands.
    On the tray, a badge with a golden scepter logo lay quietly on the red base.
    That is the sign and symbol of the chief consul of Fengyue Liberty.
    I saw Sophia lightly picking up the badge, standing on tiptoe to put it on Blake himself.
    While wearing it, she couldn’t help but sighed:
    “I still remember the first time I saw you, you were a child crying in the corner of the orphanage, introverted and timid.”
    “Unexpectedly, more than 40 years have passed. Now, the former teenager has finally grown into a leader who can lead the entire Fengyue free leader to move forward.”
    “Thank you for this! Lord Sophia! Without your inspection, without your order, let all of the orphanage People receive education for free, and I won’t have what I am today!”
    Black became excited again and said respectfully.
    “No, this is your own effort. I just provided an environment and opportunity.”
    Sophia shook her head and smiled.
    After speaking, she stretched out her hand and handed the microphone to the other party:
    “The next time, I will leave it to you, I think…you must have a lot to say to everyone.”
    “Thank you…thank you …”
    Black said respectfully and excitedly.
    “Come on, my younger generation, the future Fengyue free collar, hand it to you.”
    Sophia patted his shoulder.
    Handing over the microphone and badge, she slowly walked off the podium.
    On the podium, Black took a deep breath, calmed down, and started his own speech:
    “Today, I am honored to be successfully elected as the 21st Chief Executive Officer of the Fengyue Freedom Leader…”
    Sophia glanced again. The rostrum smiled slightly, and then quietly left the venue.
    …
    Outside the venue, the temperature is a bit cooler than indoors.
    The weather today is very clear, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the blue sky is as if washed, deep and charming.
    In the square outside the building, people who couldn’t see the end also gathered. They cheered and held up the sign with Black’s name in excitement.
    Seeing this scene, Sophia pondered for a moment, changed direction, and walked to the remote street on one side.
    It is very easy for a golden professional to deliberately avoid the sight of mortals.
    Sophia crossed the street without disturbing anyone.
    Over the past few decades, Fengyue Freedom has developed more and more prosperous, and the capital Zeroland has also undergone earth-shaking changes.
    The buildings are getting taller every year, the popularity of magic is getting wider every year, and the streets of the city are getting cleaner every year.
    Looking at the rapidly changing territory, Sophia’s eyes were full of emotion.
    In 80 years, it seems that the days of the revolution are still yesterday.
    “Are you not going to participate in the rest of the celebration?” An
    old voice sounded behind her.
    Sophia didn’t seem surprised, or that… she had already sensed the appearance of the other party.
    She turned her head slightly, looked behind her, and smiled:
    “Fin, aren’t you the same?”
    Behind her was an old priest with silver hair.
    If the life priests of Fengyue Freedom were here, they would definitely salute him respectfully, because he was no one else, but the chief priest of the Life Church in Fengyue Diocese.
    Hearing Sophia’s words, the old priest sighed slightly:
    “As people get old, the meeting will be tired after a long time, so I want to come out and turn around.”
    “To be honest.”
    Sophia said with a smile.
    Seeing her penetrating gaze, the old priest looked helpless:
    “Well, I saw you come out, so I just follow it.”
    “Me? My mission has been completed, naturally not.” I need to stay there, and the stage should be handed over to the newcomer.”
    Sophia raised her eyebrows.
    “Do you really not consider continuing to be re-elected…” The
    old priest looked helpless.
    “Give the young man a chance.”
    Sophia shook her head.
    The old priest was silent for a moment and said:
    “But you have to know that no one has higher prestige than yours. If you participate in the election, you will surely be re-elected smoothly, and… you know that, everyone actually welcomes your continued re-election. . ” “
    but I’ve been re-elected for too long …… “
    Sophia shook his head again.
    She looked towards the sky, her gaze did not know where it had drifted, she slowly retracted her gaze after a long time, and sighed:
    “When I first became the consul, my plan was to only work for eight years. Retreat…”
    “As a result, eight years later, eight years later, eight years later…”
    “Now, it’s been a full eighty years…”
    Sophia said with a wry smile:
    “It’s too long, this time is too long, even the liberators who fought with me have already passed away…”
    “Now, you and I are left.”
    After hearing Sophia’s words, the old man’s expression also changed. There was a hint of emotion:
    “Yeah… Eighty years have passed.”
    “I still remember the time when the cults ravaged the territory. I was still a militia forced by the fallen aristocracy, and I don’t know where the future lies.
    ” At that time, I am afraid I would never have thought that I would become the principal of a diocese…”
    “If the power of faith hadn’t made me a high-level transcendent, I’m afraid I would have been counting like those comrades-in-arms. Ten years ago, they all turned to mud.” As
    he said, his eyes fell on Sophia, and he sighed:
    “But…80 years have passed, and you seem to have not changed much…still so young. So beautiful, so noble…”
    “Of course, I am a half-elf. Although my life span is not as good as that of a real elf, it is more than ten times that of an ordinary human.”
    Sophia sighed.
    “I’m getting old… Recently, I always feel that I have not seen it clearly before, and it is probably a bit dazzling.” The
    old man smiled.
    After hearing what he said, Sophia raised her head and looked at him with complicated eyes.
    Her gaze swept across the old man’s wrinkled face and nodded:
    “You are old, now you look like an old willow bark.” The
    old priest stagnated slightly and said helplessly:
    “Master Sophia, You still suffer like this…”
    “Hahahaha…”
    Sophia laughed.
    After a while, the two of them calmed down, and Sophia looked at the crowded streets in the distance, gradually lost her mind.
    After a long time, the old priest couldn’t help but speak again:
    “Are you… are you planning to leave Fengyue to get free?”
    Sophia was silent.
    “Where are you going? You are the beacon in people’s hearts. If you are gone, many people will be sad.” The
    old priest continued to ask.
    Sophia shook her head:
    “But even if it’s me…it’s impossible to guard the territory for a lifetime.”
    “My task has been completed, and the rest should be given to the newcomers, let go… so that they can grow better. “
    As for me…”
    Sophia paused, and shook her head:
    “I don’t know yet, maybe… I’ll go travel the world.”
    After that, she didn’t continue.
    However, his eyes were quietly looking at the distant streets.
    However, although she was looking at the street, her far-reaching gaze seemed to be looking farther.
    “Are you… waiting for someone?” the
    old priest suddenly asked.
    “Why do you say that?”
    “I have heard some rumors…why have you never been married…”
    “It’s all rumors, it’s not true.”
    “But I know, you have been keeping peace before. The correspondence of the Fairy Forest will be received and sent out every month, and on the birthday, a person will smile quietly at the present from the Amway Chamber of Commerce.”
    “You watch me?”
    “No…Master Sophia, this is no secret at the top. The only thing you didn’t realize that everyone knew about it was you.”
    Sophia:…
    “However, if I remember correctly, you have not received any new messages for a long time. The letter from you, the person you are waiting for… will it really come again?” the
    old priest asked.
    After hearing what he said, Sophia’s eyes were a little confused.
    “I…I don’t know.”
    “But, I want to wait…”
    Looking at her somewhat blurred vision, the old priest sighed:
    “I understand…”
    After speaking, he glanced at the sky. ,
    Said : “It’s getting late, I should go back to the meeting place.”
    “You look a little tired, don’t stay outside for too long.”
    After speaking, the old priest left.
    Sophia was left alone, standing alone on the street, staring at the street scene in the distance in a daze.
    The conference ended soon after.
    The sun was gradually sinking to the west, and the crowd gathered in the square gradually dispersed…
    Soon, dusk… descended.
    Sophia stood alone on the street, her shadow drawn in the dim light for a long, long time…At
    this moment, she did not look like an outgoing consul, more like a lonely girl.
    She stood there for a long time…
    but she didn’t see the figure she wanted to see.
    Gradually, the last ray of sunlight disappeared on the horizon.
    Sophia’s expression also faded into the darkness.
    She sighed, turned and left.
    However, just as she stepped forward, there was a cynical voice behind her:
    “Hi! This beautiful lady! I heard that you seem to have just quit your job. It just so happens that I need a great job here. I don’t know if you have the intention to do it.”
    Sophia trembled slightly when she heard the familiar voice.
    She stopped and didn’t turn her head. Instead, she asked tremblingly:
    “What job?”
    “Ahem, I opened a small chamber of commerce, and now I lack a manager. I heard that you are good at management. I wonder if you are interested? “
    The cynical voice asked.
    Sophia laughed, but it seemed that something crystal-clear was spinning in front of her eyes:
    “No…I don’t want it. I’m tired and don’t want to take care of things anymore.”
    “That’s a coincidence! The manager I want is actually It’s not that she has to take care of too many things. There is actually only one person she has to take care of.”
    The voice continued.
    “What is she going to care about?”
    Sophia asked back.
    “Follow me,” the
    other party said frivolously.
    Sophia trembled, turned her head slowly, and saw the familiar figure, looking at her with a smile.
    “Sorry…I’m late. I’ve been to a place far, far away in the past few years. After knowing the news of your retreat, I finally rushed over.”
    The man scratched his head with an apologetic expression.
    Hearing this, Sophia curled her lips:
    “What is my relationship with you? What are you doing here?”
    “What’s the relationship? What’s the relationship between you? Does anyone in this world know our relationship?”
    “At least… …I don’t know.”
    “No! My princess! How about so many years of friendship?!”
    “You haven’t contacted me for years.”
    “This…I’m really sorry…I really went to a far place, than All the planes used to be far away, and I can talk to you in detail later. It was a more exciting adventure…”
    “Who wants to listen to your adventures?”
    “Ah this…not…you you you… …I…I…”
    Seeing the other party’s awkward look, Sophia chuckled:
    “Okay, I won’t make you anymore.” As
    she said, her eyes softened instantly:
    “You… Can you repeat what I said before?”
    The figure on the opposite side was stunned, and quickly reacted, making a gentleman’s etiquette, and reaching out to Sophia:
    “Beautiful princess, my chamber of commerce lacks one Manager, are you interested in walking with me?”
    “Of course…”
    Sophia gave her hand over with tears but a happy smile on her face:
    “Mr. Demacia.”
