Lone Wolf of the Freljord

Chapter 286

The envoys are very unique. They wear soft clothes similar to silk. When they walked by Luo Thirty, Luo Thirty clearly felt a gust of wind blowing. Every one of them has clothes that are swaying without wind, or that there is a mist of water over their heads, or that fire and black smoke are spewing from their nostrils, or that their legs are covered in dirt and wrap their feet like a pair of shoes. .

"Are they all mages?" Luo Thirty didn't know much about magic, but he also knew those people who could use magical powers.

"My subject country, Ixtar, come to congratulate the great Shurima Empire and the great Ascension Queen!" A white-haired man headed by the embassy bowed loudly to Setaka, "I am the third prince of Ixtar. Na Ruolan, sincerely wish the Shurima Empire to be as prosperous as the sun forever! This is Ixtar's tribute, which represents the respect and loyalty of Ixtar and all the people to the Shurima Empire and Her Majesty the Queen!"

"Ixtar." Luo Thirty heard Maiisha talk about this country, which is one of the four major vassal states east of Shurima. It is said to be a very ancient country, with a history that may be older than Shurima. This country is rich in elemental mages, sending many mages talents to the Shurima Empire.

The Ixtar mission brought dozens of large boxes of treasures. Every time a box is opened, the things taken out will cause a commotion in the crowd. Some of them even show interest from some ascenders. It seems that it is true The value is extraordinary, but in Luo Thirty's eyes, it is just some colorful things - he has no idea what those treasures are.

"Thank you for the love of the people of Ixtar." Setaka smiled and said, "As Shurima's grace to the loyal vassal of Ixtar, you can make a request to the emperor."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ixtar's third prince kowtowed heavily, "Ixtar hopes that Her Majesty the Queen will send an Ascended Legion to help us eliminate the barbaric Vastaya that endangers the safety of the people of Ixtar. tribe!"

"Savage Vastaya Tribe" Luo Thirty's impression of Vastaya is that they are hairy and harmless guys, and they are also good magicians, "Vastaya is also savage... It seems that just like people, both There is a difference..."

"The people of Ixtar are the people of Shurima, and it is my duty to protect the people." Setaka looked at the ascendant on the second platform, "Brave warriors of the gods, who would like to take the initiative to ask?"

"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty!"

All of a sudden, almost half of the ascenders took the initiative to stand up and enthusiastically requested to take this life.

Luo Shi also saw that Varieva was eager to stand up, but she gave up with regret, mostly because of Luo Shi's relationship, otherwise she would definitely strive for this opportunity to legally kill.

In the end, a hamster-like ascender strived for success. He walked to the stage triumphantly, enjoying the cheers and applause of the people.

"Thank you for the mission of Ixtar." Nasus said, "Next, there is a mission from Fuguang Island!"

Compared with Ixtar's gorgeous embassy full of mages, Fuguang Island's embassy was much more low-key. Half of the embassy were acolytes in simple robes.

"Fuguang Island... Mai Yisha seems to have said that it is the weakest of the four major vassal states in the East... If it wasn't for the farthest distance from Shurima and it was a maritime island country, it might have been annexed by Shurima long ago." road.

The audience of the Fuguang Island mission was quite satisfactory, and nothing special happened. Setaka said that he wanted to give them a reward, but they declined it, but Setaka still rewarded them with a lot of gold jewelry and precious spices.

The third mission is another island country, Baru, one of the four major vassal states in the East.

The people in this mission gave Luo Thir a gloomy feeling. Each of them had a fishy smell on them, and some of them carried a huge totem pole with a huge octopus sea monster depicted on it.

"Baru of the Python Islands." Luo Thirty recalled Maiisha's words, "A civilization that believes in the strange octopus sea **** seems to be the smallest of the four major kingdoms, but they seem to use some very strange magic."

Most of the tributes from the Baru mission were seafood, which seemed to be valuable treasures judging from the reactions of the ascenders and the crowd, but Luo Shi only felt that it was all fishy, ​​and Luo Shi still looked at the box that Baru sent. to a few seaweeds.

Like Fuguang Island, Baru did not take the initiative to ask Setaka for anything, and even if Setaka wanted to give them a reward, they declined, and it looked like he really didn't want anything.

"Strange country..." Luo Shi couldn't understand why this group of people didn't want anything.

"The last mission please! The Icathian mission is invited!" Nasus shouted.

Luo Thirteen saw a group of gorgeously dressed people walking onto the platform.

The mission of Icacia was the largest among the four countries, with more than a hundred people, and more than half of them were holding a flaming torch.

"Eternal Flame..." Luo Thirty heard Maiisha say, "Icacia is the most powerful country in Shurima's kingdom, and their mages will use a sacred flame called Eternal Flame. It is said that this flame It will never be extinguished, and the Icathians have been nurtured around this flame all year round, making the Icathians extremely long-lived, and there are many people who have lived for hundreds of years."

"I am the envoy of Icacia, Kiran, a member of the Mage King's Council!" The leader of the Icathian mission was a pale-haired old man. He looked like a powerful mage because the air around him was unnatural. The ground is twisted, making him look tall and short, fat and thin.

The most intuitive is the Ascenders in the second tier. When they saw Jilan, their expressions were obviously not as relaxed as when they were looking at other envoys. On the contrary, many Ascenders were carefully looking at Jilan. .

"This old man is very strong, so many ascenders are paying attention." Luo Thirty said in his heart, he silently memorized the name of Jilan.

Icathia deserves to be the strongest among the four vassals, and the quality of the tributes presented is very high, and even Nasus can't help but praise a few words of King Icathia's heart.

"Icacia's loyal emperor is in his eyes." Queen Setaka said, "Such a loyal country is worthy of this emperor's promise to you."

"Your Majesty." Kieran saluted Setaka solemnly, "My king, I, Acacia, have nothing to ask for, but that Her Majesty the Queen can promise us one thing!"

Kieran's voice trembled a little: "I implore Her Majesty the Queen to allow me, Acacia, to have an ascendant!"

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

According to archaeological discoveries and historical records, at the peak of the ancient Shurima Empire, its territory covered almost the entire Shurima continent and parts of the southern part of the Valoran continent, and its territory was much larger than that of Noxus today.

And there are many vassal states in the eastern part of the Shurima continent, but the details of these vassal states have also disappeared in the long river of history with the fall of the ancient Shurima Empire.

Chapter 470 The Queen's Husband

What was originally a lively celebration fell into a dead silence immediately following Kieran's words.

Everyone was looking at Kieran and Setaka, looking forward to how the Queen would answer the Ecathian emissary.

"Icacia wants an ascender." Luo Thirty was in shock. He looked at the sun disc in the sky. Indeed, the ascendant must go through the ascension ceremony of the sun disc to be born. Without the approval of the Queen of Shurima, Icathia couldn't create an Ascended by herself.

"Your Majesty!" Seeing Setaka being silent for a while, Kieran said in an impassioned tone, "Icathya has been a Shurima kingdom for hundreds of years, and our country has contributed countless outstanding generals, scholars, officials, Mages and priests! The summons that Shurima has issued to our country will not do anything to our country! Such loyalty! Just ask Your Majesty to grant Icathia an ascendant! Let Icathia and Shurima share the glory of the sun !"

Luo Shi saw that the ascenders on the second floor had different expressions when they heard Kieran's words, and the elders began to whisper.

"Has Icacia contributed so much to Shurima?" Luo Thirty didn't quite understand.

"Icacia's loyalty to Shurima is obvious to all," Setaka said calmly.

Kieran looked up at the Queen solemnly.

"But." Setaka's conversation changed, "Ascenders can only be Shurimans. This is a stipulation of the code and cannot be changed. Change your requirements."

Kieran hurriedly said, "Your Majesty! I..."

"You don't need to mention this." Setaka interrupted Kieran, "Icacia can also want an Ascended, but this person must change his nationality to become a Shurima."

Kieran's face was ashen, which was obviously not the result he wanted.

In the end, Kieran was rewarded by Setaka's countless gold jewels, and even a fief, but judging from his loss and annoyed exit, the value of these things can't be compared to an ascendant.

Afterwards, there are still some small countries' missions to meet, but it seems that because of the previous Jilan incident, none of these small countries dared to make excessive demands.

"Thank you again for the embassies of all countries who came to meet at the celebration!" Nasus said, "Next, before the real celebration begins, Her Majesty has something to announce!"

"Here it is." Luo Thirty raised his breath, he was just a spectator in the previous part, but now he is about to come to something he must personally participate in.

Luo Shi secretly glanced at Mai Yisha not far away. The girl's playfulness has subsided a lot today, and she has been standing quietly, and she has no intention of looking at Luo Xi's side.

Setaka glanced at the audience. The queen's aura was stronger than that of the ascendant. Her gaze just passed Luo Xiu's body, which made Luo Xiu feel the pressure of being stared at by some giant beast.

"Am I going to fight to be the husband of such a person..." Luo Shi felt her heart beat faster.

"I believe everyone should also know." Setaka said, "This emperor has been in power for many years, but he has never been married and has no children. This time is to solve this matter."

Setaka's simple words caused a thousand waves, and the crowd erupted in violent reactions. Everyone was particularly concerned about the Queen's marriage, which was a major event related to the national fortune of the Shurima Empire.

"Silence!" Nasus tapped the floor with a long-handled axe, and the majesty of the Ascended made the noisy crowd instantly quiet.

"The emperor's younger brother, the eclipse king, and the council of elders are all heartbroken for the emperor's marriage." Setaka turned to look at the eclipse king.

"Sister Huang, this is what this king should do." The eclipse king stepped forward, and the old man actually called the young and beautiful queen in front of him elder sister, which made Luo Shi feel strange.

A representative of the Presbyterian Church also walked out: "It is our duty to share the worries of Her Majesty the Queen."

"Well." Setaka smiled, her smile was as bright and dazzling as the sun, Luo Thir felt her heart was beating wildly.

In fact, not only Luo Thirty, but almost all mortals have the same reaction when they see Setaka's smile. Setaka has the attraction that shines like the sun, and almost no one except the ascendant can resist her charm.

"Thank you for your efforts." Setaka said, "I heard that you also made a special trip to choose a husband for me."

"Yes, Huangjie, the Presbyterian Council and this king have personally selected some." The Eclipse King smiled, "But I'd better ask the Presbyterian Council to introduce their candidates first, and I'll leave it to the end."

Queen Setaka smiled: "Just as you say."

The representative of the Presbyterian Church walked towards the first steps: "Number one! The strong man from the north! And Noah!"

A fair-skinned blond handsome man stepped out of it and stood at the very front of the first steps.

"Northerners..." Luo Thirty looked at Mai Yisha, the girl also had the same fair skin and dazzling blond hair, which is said to be the characteristics of northerners born in bitter cold land, "Speaking of which, I don't know Mai Yisha's What about my life experience... I'll ask another day."

The representative of the Presbyterian Church introduced a lot of information about this beautiful man. For example, he once subdued a bull with his bare hands, once led an army to attack seven villages and six towns, and his record was terrifying. Even some ascendants nodded frequently. The record may also be the best achievement a mortal can achieve.

The second beautiful man introduced by the Council of Elders is a Thunder Mage. It is said that he has a royal bloodline that has been wiped out by Shurima. He has deep mana and can attract Thunder with a wave of his hand. He also won the applause of the onlookers and some soaring. affirmation of the person.

"The third place!" The elders said loudly.

Luo Shi took a deep breath and stood up, lining up with the other two beautiful men.

The representative of the Presbyterian Church also spoke a lot of good things about Luo Shi, saying that he was knowledgeable and skilled in martial arts, but these were the stories of the hapless man who was killed by Ramos, and had nothing to do with Luo Shi.

Luo Shi is now more worried that the illusion on his face will fail. If his slave status is exposed, under the witness of so many ascenders and queens, he is afraid that he will die a hundred times and will not be able to clear his guilt.

Fortunately, Naganeka's illusion is very reliable, and Luo 30 did not see any of the ascendants showing a strange color - except for the pair of raven twins who had been staring at Luo 3 and licking their tongues at Luo 3, as if thinking about it. Varieva who ate him—even Queen Setaka didn't seem to react.

"Didn't Mai Yisha say that illusions are hard to hide from the queen... It seems that I'm safe for now." Luo Shi felt a little at ease.

"The introduction to the Presbytery is over, it's up to me now." The Eclipse King smiled, he waved his hand behind him, come out.

Luo Thirty was surprised that the candidate for the Eclipse King was not on the first platform, but walked out from the palace behind the highest third platform.

It was a little boy who was only twelve or thirteen years old at most. Judging from the clothes he wore, he was a royal family.

"Look, Huangjie, this is my youngest son, Mucha, you still recognize him, he's already so old." The Eclipse King smiled and held the little boy's shoulders, "He has the same royal bloodline as ours. Is it the most suitable candidate for marriage?"

"To actually want the queen to marry her own nephew" Luo Shi couldn't help but feel that there was something wrong with the eclipse king. Although the marriage of close relatives in the royal family was nothing new, it was mostly between the same generation. When an aunt and nephew married, even Luo Shi People who came from slaves thought it was a little strange.

The faces of the ascendants were also not very good-looking, but everyone came out to object, because Setaka just looked at her nephew calmly, with no sadness or joy on her face.

"The introduction is over," Setaka said.

"Yes." The representative of the Council of Elders kowtowed, "I implore Her Majesty the Queen to choose a husband among them, so as to give birth to the crown prince for the Shurima Empire as soon as possible, and let me rest in the hearts of the people of Shurima and the fortune of the country."

"This emperor has been on the throne for many years, but I also feel that it is inappropriate to not marry all the time." Setaka said.

Luo Thir raised her eyebrows slightly: "It's different from what Naganeka said... The queen is really planning to get married."

"However, this emperor is the queen of the Shurima Empire, and finding a husband casually is not only an insult to the emperor himself, but also an insult to the entire Shurima Empire!" Setaka said in a passionate tone, "This emperor My husband! Must be the best, strongest, greatest man! Only worthy of the best, strongest, greatest Shurima!"

The people burst into enthusiastic voices, all agreeing, and even the ascendants expressed their support for the Queen's decision.

"You!" Setaka suddenly pointed to the three Luo Thirty-three people, "The three of you, as well as the emperor's nephew, have their own advantages. Strength, magic, martial arts, blood, you all have your own strengths, but the emperor hopes The husbands-in-law do not have their own strengths, but are perfect! Therefore! This emperor hereby puts forward the requirements of this emperor's husband!"

Setaka suddenly raised his hand, the sun was shining in her hand, and a huge golden cross blade appeared in her hand.

Luo Shi noticed that the expressions of the eclipse king suddenly became ugly, and although the elders couldn't see their expressions, they seemed to be very shaken.

"The emperor's husband! Must be strong enough!" Setaka announced loudly, "Tomorrow! The celebration will hold the 'Chakad' campaign as scheduled! The man who defeats the emperor in this campaign is the emperor's husband!"

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

"Chakad" is an extremely cruel ancient Shurima sport.

This is a one-on-one duel sport. The arena will be divided into four areas, which are respectively placed on the coal pool, the poisonous snake pool, the poisonous scorpion pool and the spike pool, and then two vertical rods are placed on the top of the five-person height. Crossed, narrow and long planks, the two sides will fight a duel on these two planks, which will not end until one of them dies.

Chakad is a must-have performance at the large-scale celebrations of the ancient Shurima Empire. It is usually a showdown with worthless slaves, but if there is irreconcilable hatred between nobles, they will also use this method to fight to the death.

Chapter 471 The Raven Twins

Luo Shi stood in the side hall where the Presbyterian Church was, watching them quarrel with each other.

The first day of the Queen's Celebration had come to an end, Luo 30 had no chance to appreciate the grand occasion of the celebration. As soon as the opening ceremony was over, the Council of Elders took him to the side hall and listened to them arguing for an entire afternoon.

"This is not the same as what was said in advance! How can Her Majesty go back on her word!"

"The eclipse king called the eclipse king to come and discuss!"

"The Eclipse King has long since returned to the palace to close the door! He probably gave up!"

Luo 30 looked at the fierce quarrel among the elders with some embarrassment. They seemed to be caught off guard by Setaka's unexpected announcement today, and they quarreled for a long time without discussing the result.

"Can you get that centipede in my heart away... Anyway, that's how things are..." Luo Thirty wanted to say that, but he couldn't find a chance to intervene in the duel in the angry elders.

Luo Xiu glanced at the other two handsome men whom the Presbyterian Council had found. They were also embarrassed and waited anxiously for the Presbyterian Council to finish their quarrel.

"You can only report to Her Majesty the Queen to let her take back her life!"

"How to accept the oath of Her Majesty the Queen in front of all the ascendants, the embassies of various countries, and the people of the imperial city! Her Majesty's withdrawal of the oath will damage the national prestige of Shurima!"

"Then you can't let Her Majesty the Queen drag on the marriage again!"

"What else can I do! The safest way at the moment is to try my best to suppress the spread of the Queen's Oath, and in a hundred or two hundred years, most people will forget about it before trying to find a way!"

"No! The country cannot be without a prince! The crown prince of the empire has been vacant for too long! We must urge Her Majesty the Queen to give birth to one!"

"The eclipse king, please call someone to urge the eclipse king to come here!"

Luo Shi felt that the elders would be more annoying than the flies on the piles of corpses. He couldn't bear it any longer, and shouted: "Instead of making such a quarrel, think about how to defeat the queen head-on soon!"

For a while, the audience was silent.
