Luo Shi raised his head: "What do you mean?"

"Naganeka's title is [Evil Snake], and the titles of Ascenders are taken from each other, which means that her viciousness is recognized even by her colleagues." Mai Yisha explained while applying medicine to Luo, "Na Ganeka has a younger brother and a younger sister, both Ascended. They are Varus and Varieva, twins."

Luo San listened quietly. He knew very little about the famous Ascended, so he was happy to make up for this knowledge.

"Varieva's honorary title [Dead Lizard], she can be said to be the second most slaughtered among all ascenders. Every time there is a battle, she must be at the forefront. Other ascenders cherish feathers and are unwilling to kill civilians. , but she took the initiative to apply instead."

"Murdering civilians... what a weird woman." Luo Thirty couldn't think of anything to fight for.

"Hey, don't talk nonsense outside, even among the people of the Ascended Empire like Varieva, there are many people who support her." Mai Yisha laughed.

"Because she is strong"

"Just because she's strong."

"Okay." Luo Shi remembered Varieva's name, "You just said she was the second killer, who was the first killer?"

"Tayanari."

"Ah" Luo Thirty was startled, "Tayanari he looks so..."

"He looks gentle now, but how do you think his title of [Cheetah] came from. He also has the nickname of [Country Hunter] in countries other than Shurima, because he has been a killer in the past three hundred years. You have destroyed people from seven countries."

"I really can't tell..." Luo Thirty remembered the black panther ascender who fondly touched Mai Yisha's head, "Then why is he like this now?"

"Because he met the Grand Master, you will see him later." Mai Yisha tied the bandages, "Continue talking about Varus, his sister Varieva is so tyrannical. , do you think Varus will get any better? His honorary title is [Toad], and his favorite thing is to torture his enemies with marvelous archery, first make them lose their minds and go mad, and then finish them off. Life. By the way, he is quite contemptuous of mortals. Tayanari said that Varus has not spoken to mortals other than his life-carrying people for hundreds of years, and the only dialogue he has with mortals is his arrows. But Wei Russ is also very withdrawn, I heard that he is too lazy to meet other ascenders except the queen and his sisters."

"Then he is willing to teach me"

"It's not because of his sister Naganeka's face." Mai Yisha showed a terrifying expression, "If it wasn't for her sister, he would have shot an arrow just when he saw you, and there's no place for you. life."

"This way..." Luo Shi narrowed his eyes, and his view of Varus changed a little in his heart.

"So you'd better not make him angry. After learning honestly, we will leave. Next, we will go to Varieva, she is even more difficult to deal with." Mai Yisa said.

"Understood." Luo Thirty nodded, "Never provoke Varus."

...

"What did you say?" Varus' face showed anger, and his arrow directly touched Luo Shi's head, "I'll give you a chance to take that sentence back, slave."

"I don't accept it." Luo 30's forehead rested on the arrow, "I repeat, I will become the husband of Ascension Queen Setaka."

"Your Majesty's name can't be called by you!" Varus wanted to shoot through this false slave with an arrow, but Naganeka's request to him made him barely let go of the strings on his hands.

This daring slave actually sneaked into his bedroom in the dead of night, and the first meeting was a blasphemous remark, and Varus began to wonder if the slave was crazy.

"Verus, please believe me, I have no intention of disrespecting Queen Setaka." Luo Shi's face was not afraid, he didn't even use honorifics, "I came to tell you that Her Majesty the Queen will definitely love her. Come on, I'm going to be the future emperor of Shurima, so I need supporters, and I think you're pretty good."

Varus was so angry that he was about to laugh. He could not imagine how a slave had the right to say such arrogant words, even more arrogant than his sister Varieva.

Luo Shi waved his hands and talked about his future grand plan: "I will meet all your requirements, give you the honor that no other ascendant has ever had, and make other ascendants respect you immensely."

Varus suddenly wanted to see what else this clown could say. His anger turned into ridicule. He lowered his arrow and said solemnly, "Speak."

Luo Thirteen smiled with satisfaction: "I need you to do something for me during the Queen's celebration, it's best not to tell your sister, as long as I have your help, I can successfully make Queen Setaka fall in love with me. , and you will also gain the friendship of an emperor, and I will give you the opportunity to build merit and let the world praise your name far more than other ascendants."

"It sounds very tempting." Varus admired this scandal, and felt that everyone could see it if he lived for a long time, "Then how do you convince me that you can really make Her Majesty the Queen fall in love with you? "

"I will prove my ability." Luo slapped her chest, "I have the confidence to make any woman fall in love with me, as long as I show it a little bit."

"What? Your face? Or your body?"

"You don't need to know this." Luo Shi smiled confidently, "but I know, I suddenly told you this, and you wouldn't believe it too much if you were cautious, so I will prove me before letting you do things for me. Ability."

"How to prove it?"

"Your sister, Varieva," Luo said.

Varus' mentality of watching the joke suddenly changed a little, and his eyes narrowed.

"According to your sister Naganeka's plan, I will go to Varieva next to learn how to fight, and then go to the imperial city with her to participate in the Queen's Celebration." Luo Xi said wildly, "When you come too When you are in the imperial city, you will see your sister staying by my side, and she already loves me to the point of being unable to extricate herself."

Varus looked at Luo Thirty quietly, and now he didn't know whether to be surprised or to laugh.

Varus has lived for centuries, he has seen warriors who can resist mountains, he has seen wise men who understand ancient and modern times, he has seen heinous sinners, but he has never seen anything like this...

Such a funny person.

He actually said that he wanted to make his sister, who only knew about fighting, fall in love with him.

Varus suddenly decided not to kill him, he decided to enjoy the play: "Okay, I promise you, if I saw Varieva really fell in love with you when I was in the imperial city, I would help you Do anything."

"It's a promise, in the name of the sun." Luo Thirty reached out his hand with satisfaction and wanted to make a contract with Varus.

Varus hesitated for a while, he didn't want to touch a slave, but thinking that he might see Varieva's mad face in the future, Varus still stretched out his index finger and touched Luo Thirty: "It's a word, let's do it. The name of the sun."

"Then I won't disturb your rest. We will continue training tomorrow." Luo Shi smiled, "By the way, you don't need to tell Mai Yisha about this."

"Understood." Varus didn't care about Mai Yisha, and a life-carrying person was no different from a mortal to him. Now he was more looking forward to seeing Varieva, his sister would tell him what she was using This kind of torture kills this foolish slave.

Luo Thirty exited Varus' room, and he walked down the corridor with a smile.

To return to his room, he had to pass through a sandy field. Luo Thirteen jumped lightly, and his body floated across the sandy field like a feather.

Under the moonlight, Luo Thirty's eyes of different colors, one on one blue and one purple, were illuminated.

——————————————————————————————

The Shurimans have a habit of "knuckles" when making deals and showing respect.

That is, the two sides stretch out their index fingers to touch each other, indicating that an agreement has been reached. It is said that this is because it is inconvenient for people wearing sunshade robes to stretch out their full hands from their sleeves in the desert, so only one designated agreement is used.

Chapter 458: Varieva

Luo Shi was sore all over.

He felt that the intensity of Varus's training on him increased significantly in the next few days, and Luo 30 couldn't even get out of bed after training every day.

Fortunately, Varus is also generous, giving Luo the best wound medicine and supplements, and even contains magical power. Mai Yisha said that any bottle is enough to buy a hundred slaves like Luo, but Verus As an Ascendant, he doesn't care about wealth at all.

"Then we'll leave." Luo Xiu thanked Varus, carrying a good bow that Varus gave him. Although Mai Yisha said that Varus has a bad personality, Luo Xiu has a good impression of him. , whether it's for Naganeka's face or not, at least Varus is teaching him seriously.

"Well." Varus glanced at Luo Thirty, "I look forward to meeting you at the celebration."

Luo Shi was shocked, Varus was... looking forward to meeting him

"I got the approval of an ascendant?" Luo Shi didn't know why, so he looked at Mai Yisha, but Mai Yisha was just whistling, looking leisurely.

Saying goodbye to Varus, Luo Thirty came to the desert with Mai Yisa in his arms, and summoned Ramos again. This big dragon turtle was still a pair of dead fish eyes, as if everything around him could not interest him.

"Hello, Ramos!" Maiisha fluttered and wanted to hug Ramos, but the dragon turtle didn't appreciate it at all, as indifferent as a stone sculpture.

"Hey, Ramos, can you really bring him into the imperial city?" Mai Yisa asked. "Without Ramos, Her Majesty the Queen might not even look at you."

"I will convince him." Luo Thirty knew that Ramos didn't like going to crowded places, but he believed that Ramos would still help him at a critical time, "Let's go to Varieva first, we have some time. Tight, it seems that there are not many days until the celebration."

"Okay, let's go up first, I have something to tell you in advance about Varieva."

Luo Shi hugged Mai Yisha and let Ramos hug him. The dragon turtle curled up into a ball of thorns and rolled over the desert at a speed that could not be seen at all.

"Varieva is not the same as Varus, as I told you, she is very short-tempered." Mai Isa said, "I told you not to make Varus angry, then Varieva is even more irritable. Don't mess with it, even if you speak and behave carefully, even if Naganeka told her, Varieva may still have an impulse to kill you."

"real?"

"She once disobeyed Her Majesty's order on an impulse and slaughtered a city that had already surrendered."

"Well, it really can't be messed up..." Luo Shi said, "She can disobey the Queen's orders, and her sister's orders are even more unreliable."

"You know, Varieva was exiled by the Queen for 100 years because of that incident. She just came back ten years ago, but she was also assigned to a remote area. She hasn't been on the battlefield for more than 100 years, and she is probably dying. Crazy, don't take advantage of this time to stimulate her."

Luo Shi nodded: "Don't worry, I know the severity."

"It's here." Ramos' thick voice suddenly sounded.

Luo 30 got out with Mai Yisa in his arms, Ramos still didn't say a word of superfluous words, and rolled into the distance.

"Has he been so boring all the time?" Mai Yisha asked.

"He treats me very well, although he really doesn't like to talk much." Luo Shi turned to look at his destination - the city that Varieva was in charge of.

This city is much poorer and desolate than that of Varus. Even Varieva's palace is much smaller than that of Varus. It seems that she was indeed exiled because of the mistakes she had committed. far away.

Luo Thirty walked straight to Varieva's palace, but not a single resident was seen on the way.

"There is a famine," Luo Thirty said uncertainly.

"Master Varieva should have no interest in running the city. It's normal to leave a bunch of messes." Mai Yisha looked at the city. It was almost a ghost town. There were empty houses everywhere, and it was impossible to see it on the street People, "It seems that the residents here also feel that they will starve to death with Varieva, and have already left for other cities."

Luo 30 came to the palace with Mai Yisa in his arms. In stark contrast to the desolate ghost town, Varieva's palace was beautifully built. The building materials were gold, emerald jade and marble, the standard Ascended Palace building.

"Let's see Lord Varieva! Lord Naganeka asked us to come!" Maiisha shouted, and she took out the token given by Naganeka.

For a long time, no one responded.

Luo Shi and Mai Yisha looked at each other.

"Go in and have a look." Mai Yisha said.

Luo 30 entered the palace according to the words.

After walking through the wide main hall, Luo Shi and Mai Yisha still didn't see a single person.

Walking into the backyard, Luo Shi and Mai Yisha only saw the figure.

It's just an amputated limb.

Blood, there was blood everywhere, all kinds of stumps and internal organs were scattered on the floor of the backyard, a stench of corpses came over, Luo Thir saw the dense corpse gnawing maggots squirming on the flesh, and Several vultures are feasting.

"This is..." Luo Shi said in surprise.

"Oh, you are finally here." A woman's voice suddenly sounded.

With the sound of heavy footsteps, a female ascender came towards them.

It was a lizard-like ascender, covered with dark scales, but the skin that was not covered by the scales was as pale as plaster, and the cyan veins below could be seen.

She has a pair of membrane wings on her back waist, and she wears a huge golden armor to show her identity as an ascendant.

She was wet and looked like she had just taken a bath, but judging from the **** spear she was holding in her hand, it was she who did the tragedy in the backyard.

"Hello, Lord Varieva." Mai Yisha jumped from Luo 30's arms and gave Varieva a salute, "I'm Mai Yisa, this is my male slave Luo 30."

"Ah, no need to introduce, my sister has already talked about you." Varieva's golden eyes swept over Mai Yisha and turned to Luo Shi, with a playful smile on her face, "It's interesting, both of you. Aren't you frightened?"

As the life-carrying person of the ascendant, Mai Yisha is not simple in itself, and those who can be the life-carrying person cannot be frightened by such a scene.

Luo 30 was not frightened by the scene in front of him. He had seen countless scenes that happened to slaves in the past 20 years, and he was immune to scenes even more cruel than this.

Varieva nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, I'm still thinking that if the two of you show timidity when you first arrived, I will kill you directly. Now it seems that you can live a little longer."

"Sure enough, he's a lunatic..." Luo Shi said in his heart.

Mai Yisha said with a smile, the corpses beside her seemed to have no effect on her at all: "Master Varieva, won't you kill all the people in this city?"

"Hmph, I do, but I don't want to be exiled for another hundred years by Her Majesty the Queen." Varieva inserted the spear into the pool to wash off the blood on it, "But I'm used to fighting the enemy. I feel itchy if I don't kill anything for a while. When I react, I have already killed all the life-carrying and servants around me. The people in the city are probably scared away. Alas, I will be killed by Her Majesty the Queen again. insulted."

Varieva showed an indifferent attitude. She pulled out her spear and pointed it at Luo Xiu. The water column on the spear head splashed on Luo Xiu's face: "Sister asked me to train you, but I can't kill you. I am troubled."

Luo Shi did not move.

Seeing that Luo 30 had not been frightened to the ground in the face of her fierceness, Varieva smiled and retracted her spear: "Yes, although I am a slave, I have enough courage. I really don't want to teach you, but I can't help but listen to my sister."

Mai Yisha clapped her hands and said with a smile: "That's great, Lord Varieva, time is running out, let's start quickly."

Varieva nodded and said to Luo Shi: "Go to the warehouse and get a handy spear, the warehouse is right behind."

Luo 30 nodded, he turned and ran to get the spear, he remembered Mai Yisha's admonition - try not to speak to an unreasonable guy like Varieva.

"Learn from Ramos." Luo Shixin said.

He didn't run a few steps when suddenly he heard an abnormal noise behind him.

Luo 30 turned back suddenly, only to see Varieva's spear piercing Maiisha's chest.

"Sister didn't tell me to keep your life." Varieva smiled cruelly.

—————————————————————————————————————————————

In the ancient Shurima Empire, the Ascended had great power.

The law does not apply to them, they only accept rewards and punishments directly from the emperor, and because the Ascended are an important fighting force of the Shurima Empire, even if the Ascended make a big mistake, they will generally not get the punishment they deserve.

There is also a saying that it is much harder to execute an ascendant than to destroy a country.
