- Advice from Nasus

Chapter 465 The celebration is coming

Luo Thirty is very depressed.

Although the great scholar Nasus answered his doubts about "Qi", he instead threw the question to Luo Shi himself.

"My anger, how can you get stronger..." Luo Thirty used almost every method, and he kept thinking about what happened the day he was fighting with Varieva, but no matter what he did What to do, how to exercise, his qi has never grown at all.

The time for the Queen's Celebration is getting closer and closer, but Luo Shi feels that his strength has not improved compared with the beginning, and he has only learned some basic tricks, and he can't help feeling more and more irritable.

On the contrary, Mai Yisha was not worried at all. She played around in the imperial city without heart and mind. At night, she dragged Luo Sa and Renekton to drink and eat meat together. As a result, Luo Sa did not grow much these days, but got a little fatter. a circle.

As for Nasus, the scholar seemed to be very busy on weekdays, and Luo Thirty had not seen him since that night.

"There will always be a way." Mai Yisha used this sentence to deal with Luo 30 all day long, and it seemed that she was really not worried about the fact that Luo 30 had not become stronger at all.

With an uneasy mood, the time has come to the day before the Queen's Celebration.

Mai Yisha said goodbye to Renekton in advance with Luo Thirty, and went to wait for Varieva outside the imperial city.

"Let's go to see Lord Naganeka with Lord Varieva in a while." Mai Yisha was hugged by Luo Shi, this pampered girl still refused to touch the sand with her feet, and let Luo Shi hold him as soon as she left the city Go, "Lord Naganeka has a lot of doubts. Don't let her know that we came to the imperial city in advance to find a great scholar, it will make her have a lot of unnecessary suspicion."

Because the Queen's Celebration is about to begin, the imperial city is not only crowded but also under martial law. There are golden soldiers patrolling everywhere, and the city gates are only allowed to enter but not exit. However, these things were not a problem at all before Mai Yisha's illusion, they strutting out of the imperial city.

"By the way, if it's according to the academic theory." Luo Shi looked at the blond girl who was nibbling on a string of sugar-stuffed croquettes in her arms, "Does your illusion count as magic or qi?"

"How do I know?" Mai Yisha licked her shiny lips, "I suddenly know how to use it. I haven't thought about what illusion is. You might as well ask Lord Naganeka if you ask me."

"What does Naganeka have to do with illusion?"

"Lord Naganeka is not a martial artist, but in the war she will destroy no less enemies than any Ascended." Mai Yisha played with the leftover wooden sticks, "She is best known for her poison and illusion techniques. , Even Lord Tayanari often said that the last person he wanted to fight was Lord Naganeka."

"Then who is stronger than your illusion and her"

"How do I know that we haven't fought before, and you compare me, a delicate little girl, with a great ascendant, do you still have a conscience!"

The "unconscionable" Luo Shi just kept chatting with Mai Yisha without a word. From time to time, he could see several huge figures that were many times higher than mortals walking or enclave into the imperial city. Wearing gorgeous and shining golden armors, they are obviously several grades higher than the golden warriors. They each have the characteristics of animals and beasts. They are followed by a long ceremony and guards. Just appearing can make people on the ground. People waved and shouted.

"The Ascenders who guarded the empire and went out to fight have come back to participate in the celebration." Maiisha said, "Hundreds of powerful Ascenders, this is the foundation of the prosperity of the Shurima Empire, there are Ascenders, No one can shake the status of the empire."

Luo 30 looked up at the ascendants, thinking that so many beings who could be called gods would willingly obey the queen's call, Luo 30 had some unreal feelings.

Do you really want to be the queen's husband?

Luo Shi temporarily held down his unease, because he saw the sight of a lizard ascender flying in the distance.

"Lord Varieva!" Mai Yisha waved the wooden sign in her hand, "This way, this way!"

Mai Yisha shouted loudly, but the people around didn't seem to hear it. No one turned their heads to look over here, only Varieva turned her attention to her.

Varieva shook her wings a few times, swooped down from the sky, and grabbed Luo Shi and Mai Yisha, causing the people on the ground to exclaim. They thought the noble ascender was teasing them. They shouted and waved to Varieva.

Varieva didn't even look at them, and landed directly in her palace with Luo Shi and Mai Yisha.

Like the city guarded by Varieva, Varieva's palace in the imperial city is also empty of people. Every corner of the courtyard is covered with sand, and it seems that no one has cleaned it.

"How did you get the answer from the grand scholar?" Varieva put Luo 30 on the ground and looked at him with burning eyes.

"The Grand Scholar did help me with some doubts, but unfortunately I still don't know how to exercise my qi." Luo Shi shook his head regretfully, and told Varieva what the Grand Scholar said in detail.

"Tsk... This is difficult... Now you are in Her Majesty the Queen." Varieva licked her eyes and looked at Maiisha, "Do you have any other ideas?"

Mai Yisha blinked and stuck out her tongue: "Lord Varieva, you think too highly of me, it's okay for me to come up with some small ideas, this is in front of the Queen, it's useless to play any tricks, otherwise Lord Naganeka will not let Luo Thirty do the training seriously."

"Also..." Varieva looked at Luo Thirty regretfully, "It seems that I can only exercise the right to be exempted from death, slave... dear."

"Can't I use illusion or something?" Luo Shi asked.

"How could illusions be effective against Her Majesty the Queen." Varieva said, "Even sister's illusions can't hide from Her Majesty's eyes, let alone her."

"Is Mai Yisha's illusion really worse than Sister Na's Neckar?" Luo Thirty thought, logically speaking, mortals can't compare to Ascenders in all aspects, but he always felt that Mai Yisha was not simple.

"Then what are we going to do next?" Varieva seemed to only care about Luo 30's "qi" and didn't bother to think about other things.

"We should go to see Lord Naganeka next." Maiisha said, "We made an appointment to meet today."

"Oh, yes, let's go, let's go together." Varieva just stood off the membrane wing, and suddenly realized what was wrong, "By the way, do I need to tell my sister about the marriage between Luo and I? I always feel that she get angry..."

Mai Yisha shrugged: "I can't control this, you can do it yourself."

"Oh, it's really troublesome..." Varieva pondered for a while, "Okay, I know what to do, let's go see her."

...

"Hiss..." Naganeka looked at Varieva with an angry face, "What did you say!"

Varieva straightened her back and said, "Luo Thirty is my lover!"

————————————————————————————————————

Marriages in Shurima can be complex or simple.

Complex weddings can last for months, depending on when elders on both sides negotiate the dowry and dowry.

It's easy to not hold a wedding at all, as long as the two parties recognize each other, they can get together and leave at any time, very casual.

Chapter 466 The Sun Presbyterian Church

Naganeka's chest bulged and contracted, clearly in extreme anger: "When did you **** him?"

"Forget it, I got it anyway, he's the type I like." Varieva hugged Luo Shi, who was covered in black lines like a rag doll, and stuck out her tongue to lick his face. show closeness.

Luo Xiu glanced at Mai Yisha, who was expressionless beside her. In fact, the girl was sitting on the side seat, not even touching the food on the table.

Naganeka glared at her sister, but the anger quickly subsided, and turned into a thoughtful: "He is the person I arranged to run for the queen's husband, don't hurt me."

"Of course I won't hurt your sister." Varieva released Luo 30. "If Her Majesty the Queen doesn't like him, I will take him. If Her Majesty does like him, I will reluctantly give up my love."

Varieva's face didn't show the slightest "reluctance", Naganeka smiled slightly, and she had basically guessed what Varieva wanted to do: "The right to be spared death is the grace given to us by Her Majesty the Queen, you Don't mess with it."

Knowing that her purpose was being seen, Varieva staggered her gaze.

"It's just this time, it won't be an example next time." Naganeka stood up and said to Luo Thirty, "You and I go to see the Presbyterian Church."

"Sister, you can keep him under my watch." Varieva said emotionlessly, "If he died, I would be very... very sad."

"Understood." Naganeka glanced at Luo 30, her gloomy gaze made Luo 3 uncomfortable, "Follow me, don't get lost."

Luo 30 looked at Mai Yisha, Mai Yisha had an expression of "didn't call me again", Luo 30 could only follow Naganeka out of her palace.

"Follow me within three steps." Naganeka said to Luo Shi, "Don't go out."

"Why?" Luo Shi asked.

"There are not so many reasons, just do it, slave." Naganeka's golden eyes stared at Luo Thirty.

Luo 30's face sank, and she walked to Naganeka's side.

"Not reconciled," Naganeka sneered a few times, "Then behave well. If you really become Her Majesty's husband, I will have to bow to you and kneel in the future."

Luo Thirty didn't say a word, and followed Naganeka to the direction of the palace.

Along the way, no one looked at Naganeka and Luo 30. Luo 30 knew that it was Naganeka's illusion that played a role.

Naganeka walked into the imperial city without hindrance, but instead of going to the main hall, she brought Luo Thirty to the side hall.

Luo Xiu raised his head and looked in the direction of the main hall. Right above the towering palace, the sun disc emitting golden rays of light hung high in the air. When he got closer, the sun disc was much bigger than Luo Xi thought.

"The Ascender was born there..." Luo Shi retracted his gaze, the Ascendant was too far away from him, and now he just wanted to think about how to get through the difficulties in front of him.

Naganeka's final destination was an empty and huge circular hall, and dozens of people were already sitting in it.

Each of their bodies is hidden in a large cloak, and their appearance cannot be seen, but judging from the luxurious patterns tattooed on the cloak, they are the Sun Presbyterian Church.

"Elders." Naganeka nodded slightly to the council of elders. She is an ascendant, and no one in the entire empire except the queen is qualified to make her salute. "I brought the people you want."

Luo Shi felt countless pairs of eyes focused on him, and he remained motionless.

"Hey, you wood, but show some expression." A familiar voice suddenly sounded in Luo Shi's ear.

"Mai Yisha!" Luo Shi's eyes widened, a soft girl's touch came from behind him, Mai Yisha was lying on his back at this time.

"Don't stare so big, be careful to reveal the stuffing." Mai Yisha whispered, "I've been lying on your back all the time."

Luo 30 looked at Naganeka, the ascendant had no abnormality and seemed to have found nothing.

"Are you wondering how I lied to Lord Naganeka?" Mai Yisha whispered close to Luo Shi's ear, "I don't know if Lord Naganeka saw through my illusion, I guess she has long ago I saw it, but I didn't say it."

"This way..." Luo 30 calmly squeezed Mai Yisha's thigh, and the feedback he got was to bite his teeth **** his ear.

The Council of Elders seemed to have finished looking at Luo Thirty and said to Naganeka, "Yes, it's the person we asked for, and the things we promised you will be delivered within half a year."

"Didn't they see the mark on my face?" Luo Xiu thought.

"Lord Naganeka used an illusion to change your face, and now you are a beautiful man in the eyes of the elders." Mai Yisha seemed to see what Luo Thirty was thinking and explained.

"This guy can read minds," Luo San said.

"That's right." Maiisha said.

"..."

"It's too easy to guess what you think." Mai Yisha whispered, "Okay, the Council of Elders should make arrangements for you."

"What's your name?" an elder said. I don't know if it was an illusion. Luo Shi always felt that his voice was very weak.

"Right." Luo said, this was the name of the unlucky guy who was killed by Ramos.

"Very well, do you know what you are here for?"

"Her Majesty Queen Bo is happy and will try her best to be her husband."

"Well." The other elder nodded, coughed a few times, and said, "You are one of the three people we have prepared, and you will meet the other two tomorrow. Remember that you are not opponents but companions. Whoever of the three of you ends up becoming Her Majesty's husband will count as our success."

"learn."

"In addition to the three of you, Her Majesty's younger brother, the Eclipse King, has also prepared a candidate, and he is your competitor. But the Eclipse King and us are in a cooperative relationship. You must not target him obviously, be smart, as long as Just let him not shine."

"Understood." Luo Shi began to feel that this matter was more troublesome than he expected, and involved a younger brother of the queen.

"The Eclipse King is the half-brother of Her Majesty the Queen." Mai Yisa whispered, "but he is not an ascendant, and he has no actual power, just relying on various precious magical artifacts to prolong his life to this day. I heard that he proposed to Her Majesty the Queen when he was young, but was rejected by Her Majesty. Lord Tayanari said that the Eclipse King has often confronted Her Majesty since then."

"It doesn't sound like a fuel-efficient lamp." Luo Shi remembered the eclipse king.

"You should know the specifics." The elder said, "Remember, don't use any tricks or shameful means in front of Her Majesty the Queen. Everything can't be concealed, and you must win Her Majesty's appreciation in an upright manner. "

"Got it." Luo Thirty began to worry about the slave mark on his face, but he still agreed.

"Very good." An elder got down from his seat, and he took out a golden cup from his sleeve and handed it to Luo Si.

Luo 30 looked into the cup. Inside was a drink with a faint aroma. He didn't know what it was made of, but there was a wriggling pink centipede in the drink.

"Drink him and swear your loyalty to the Presbyterian Church," the elder said.

"This is a piercing crocodile!" Mai Yisha hurriedly said to Luo 30, "Don't drink it! It's highly poisonous! If you drink it and get the antidote from time to time, you will definitely die!"

Luo Shi's eyes widened, he looked at Naganeka, and the cold golden pupils of the Viper Ascender met his gaze.

Naganeka didn't seem surprised, she vomited snake letter, as if urging Luo Thir to drink quickly.

Luo Thirty was in a desperate situation.

This must be the means that the elders will use to control Luo 30's absolute loyalty, but Luo 30 can't refuse, he has no capital to refuse at all.

Luo 30 took the golden cup, looked at the wine that was tumbling along with the centipede, and shouted inwardly, "Mai Yisha! Can you use your illusions!"

"Don't count on my illusions! I can't create two illusions at the same time!" Mai Yisha clamped Luo Shi's waist with her thighs, and seemed to panic, "I'll be exposed for you! It's meaningless!"

"What's the matter, drink it." The elder urged, "The centipede should also be eaten."

Luo 30 lifted the golden cup and pressed his lips against the strings of the cup.

——————————————————————————————

The use of poison to force loyalty to itself is common in the ancient Shurima Empire.

However, poisons that can delay death and will not affect people's daily behavior are rare and difficult to deploy, so these methods are not used on slaves on a large scale, only nobles will use it when training dead men.

Chapter four hundred and sixty seventh poison

Luo Shi beat his abdomen with one hand, stretched his fingers in with the other hand, and continued to induce vomiting.

"It's useless." Mai Yisha patted Luo Shi's back lightly, "The piercer is a magical creature that parasitizes in the heart. Even if you spit out your stomach, you won't be able to spit it out."
