Chapter 76 - 74: Him
Just when the entire upper echelon of the High Elves was in a state of extreme commotion due to the "return of the Silver Whelpling Saphistouin" and the "resurrection of an ennobled general" affair, David and his companions, who should have been caught by the Elven messengers long ago, hadn’t been disturbed by anyone on their journey and had fallen into an eerie silence.
This was because when the news first broke that a Silver Whelpling had been found by shipwrecked Elf crew members, His Majesty Elf King Ailiando immediately gave his personal approval for the message to be urgently delivered to all the named Silver Dragon clans.
As a result, the Silver Dragons, who should have cared most deeply for their offspring, all uniformly returned a similar message: No such dragon, and no young dragons have gone missing or run away recently.
These replies reportedly made Elf King Ailiando burst out laughing on the spot and caused the faces of the navy officers to darken! Zenasasania! Damn it! After all that fuss, it turned out to be some unclaimed wild whelp! Then why the hell did you make such a big fuss in the first place! Now they had no good way to clean up the mess!
However, even a "wild Silver Dragon" would still attract the attention of the Silver Dragons, as long as it was a whelpling.
After the High Elves relayed this situation again, a day later, Dragon Island also promptly responded: A letter has been sent to a certain Silver Dragon in Dewensen on the New Continent to handle this matter.
Once this message was officially confirmed, the High Elves breathed a collective sigh of relief. Without the claim of a Silver Dragon clan, the diplomatic strategic value of this Silver Whelpling was not as high as they had initially thought. So there was no need to make such a spectacle and repeatedly slap their own faces.
With the main problem resolved, the matter of "General Ahmed, who had come back from the dead and found the Silver Whelpling," was also easily dealt with. Since there was no need for a grandiose ceremonial welcome parade this time, Ahmed’s situation could be handled quietly.
According to the opinion reluctantly proposed by the Port Governor, who had been pushed forward, the authority to handle this matter could be directly returned to the Lord of Silver Wheel. After all, this mess had originally emerged because the Lord of Silver Wheel had stirred up trouble in the name of his private army, without any military orders. And Ahmed was the man’s nephew. Now that there was an opportunity to let the Lord of Silver Wheel clean up his own mess, it was expected that he wouldn’t refuse.
Thus, such a clamorous, farcical incident gradually subsided as the High Elves collectively endured the humiliation in silence. It became just another subject of mirth over tea and dinner, a daily entertainment for these long-lived beings.
