In order to welcome Jarvan IV, Forsbarrow provided the highest level of courtesy.
All members of the Northern Walkers were dispatched, and the clerks also quickly started special work - all streets that His Majesty the King may walk through were blocked to avoid all possible unpleasant things.
For the sake of safety, the legal guardians temporarily requested not to engage in public activities and took a collective mandatory vacation.
Except for a few of the legal guardians who maintained necessary work, the other legal guardians were idle and were asked not to move around at will to avoid trouble.
The royal guards understood this order very well.
Although many years have passed, and most of the Dharma Protectors have even gotten married and established businesses, those days in the Forbidden Demon Prison are still the moments they least want to recall.
At that time, their talents were regarded as disasters, and their magic power was regarded as evil spirits. They were deprived of everything and sent to the magic-forbidden prison. However, the content that everyone was instilled in them from childhood to adulthood was "
"Magic is evil", and after they awakened their magic, they more or less experienced the troubles caused by out-of-control magic...
Therefore, when imprisoned in a magic-forbidden prison, these demon-infected people will more or less fall into self-doubt, as if magic is their original sin.
Like Silas, one can see magic and realize that magic is not only possessed by those possessed by demons. After all, they are only a minority.
It was only after being led by Lady Laxana to the North that these demon-stained people clearly realized that demon-staining—oh, it should be possessing magic power—is a valuable talent.
They are no longer called demon-stained ones, but are organized into law-controllers.
Through learning, the magic is no longer out of control, but applied to construction.
Use facts to prove the meaning of magic to the people of Forsbyro, from being reluctantly accepted to being respected.
The news of Jarvan IV's visit made the Archons seem to have returned to that distant afternoon when they were ordered to follow the large army north, and they were worried about their unknown future fate.
No one could have imagined that today, more than ten years later, they would settle down and take root in the northern region that they once regarded as remote. No one could have imagined that they would become the first in the marriage and love market because of magic...
Time has dispelled their fear of the demon seekers, and the arrival of Jarvan IV is like a key, gently opening the door to their memories.
Many of these legal guardians who were forced to take leave had similar thoughts in their minds.
"Perhaps, if Lady Laxana were the king of Demacia, everything would be different, right?"
……………………
This is not the first time Jarvan IV has visited Forsbarrow.
When he was still a prince, he traveled with the army in Demacia. The old king at that time consciously exposed him to more local customs, so when he decided to leave for the north, Jarvan IV even
I am ready to "live a hard life".
However, what Jarvan IV did not expect was that when he arrived at Forsbarrow City, everything in the city seemed to have changed except for the ancient city walls.
The city is still between this steep mountain pass, and it still looks like a fortress from a distance.
But after walking up a hundred steps and entering Fosbello City, what I saw in front of me was completely different from the past.
In Jarvan IV's impression, Forsbarrow was a dilapidated city with a sparse and concentrated population. The living conditions of the local residents were not very good. In many ways, it was quite similar to the Freljord barbarians further north.
The last time he came here, Jarvan IV did not have a clear understanding of the economy, but even so, Forsbarrow's lifestyle of having no arable land and having to rely on gathering and hunting for a living still left a deep impression on him.
impression.
But Fosbairo today is completely different from the last time he came here.
When Jarvan IV was personally greeted by Lux, he walked through the archway made of flowers like a victorious warrior and entered the city of Forsbarrow. What he saw was a completely different city of Forsbarrow from the past.
The streets are very wide, but the whole city is visibly crowded. Each area seems to have been specially planned, and it is chaotic but not chaotic.
Looking at the entire Demacia, this kind of highly urbanized congestion can only be found in a few cities such as Xiongdu, Tobitsia, Gendel, and Mithril City.
Most of the nobility's fiefdoms, and only those near the castles belonging to the nobility, feel a bit crowded.
The residents on both sides of the street looked good. Although most of them had rough skin and thick calluses on their hands, they were quite full of energy.
It is already early autumn, and the weather in Forsbarrow is already a bit chilly.
Most of the people who greeted us on both sides of the street had good warm clothes.
In addition to the most common leather coats and furs in the north, there are also many more three-dimensional styles of woolen coats.
Jarvan IV also has a few woolen coats. This kind of northern-style coat is more stylish than leather coats and furs. Although the thermal insulation effect is not as good, considering that most areas of Demacia are not very cold in winter.
, so it is also somewhat popular.
And woolen cloth... seems to be the most popular product produced by Forsbarrow?
Seeing all this, Jarvan IV's first reaction was joy.
As the king of Demacia, he is very happy to see the prosperity of his country and the prosperity of his people.
If it weren't for his reserve as a king, he might not be able to help asking these people, right?
Just like that, Jarvan IV sat on his horse, waving his arms to the residents of Forsbarrow who welcomed him, with a sincere smile on his face.
Lux... really has skills, she is worthy of being a model of nobility!
Look at the people under her, how eager they are. Only those who are well fed and clothed can feel the glory of Demacia!
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! After walking through the renovated Victory Avenue of Forsbarrow like a victor, Jarvan IV was taken to the Forsbarrow Theater.
This theater will be the place where Jarvan IV stays in Forsbarrow for a while. There is no way, the Lord's Mansion of Forsbarrow has been transformed into a school and a dormitory. Although the legal guardians are now
Many of them have gone to settle down elsewhere and start their own families, but it is still the main office space for the clerks.
Even if Jarvan IV comes, there is no way that this place will be freed up as his landing place.
Fortunately, the grandness of the Fosbello Theater is sufficient. It is the most representative building newly built by Fosbello, and it is one of the very few comprehensive buildings that Kalja personally put forward suggestions.
After the main stage is cleared, it can be used as a banquet hall; the rehearsal hall and dressing room at the back have been simply renovated, and it is not a problem to accommodate Jarvan IV.
In addition, it is not far from the central canteen of Forsbarrow, and there is no problem with the food supply. It is completely sufficient as a place for Jarvan IV to stay.
And it turned out that Jarvan IV was also very satisfied with this place.
Then, on the night that Jarvan IV arrived at Forsbarrow, a grand banquet was held in the main stage hall of Forsbarrow Theater.
After receiving the news, the nobles who were relatively close to Forsbarrow came here in person; and for the nobles who were farther away from Forsbarrow, their representatives and descendants in New Fortune City also arrived immediately.
When the heroic hymn played by Sona herself sounded, a grand dance kicked off.
……………………
Jarvan IV and Lux, who had not danced in person for many years, danced the opening dance together.
Then, the two left the dance floor in a tacit understanding, and under the sound of music, they talked about business for the first time.
"Twenty years ago, I came to Forsbarrow." Jarvan IV picked up two glasses of wine from the waiter and handed one of them to Lux. "At that time, Forsbarrow was still desolate."
"Forsbarrow is finally somewhat popular now." Lux took the wine and took a sip, "Your Majesty, you deceived me so miserably..."
Jarvan IV blinked.
"Miss Lanfu." Lux showed a very subtle expression, "Because of this matter, it is difficult for my father and mother to urge my brother to get married anymore."
Jarvan IV was so embarrassed.
But despite the embarrassment, he felt a little subtlely relaxed.
In fact, this incident of breaking off the engagement has almost become a taboo event in Xiongdu, and no one dares to mention it in front of Jarvan IV.
But Jarvan IV also knew very well in his heart that although many people didn't say it publicly, they probably said it secretly.
In comparison, it was Lux's frank point-of-view that made it easier for Jarvan IV to accept it - just like at the engagement party, Lux was still as cordial as ever, and she was the model of a noble when facing other nobles.
The approach is completely different.
This kind of subtle kindness, if applied to other nobles, would be like those who are ignorant and have no sense of distance.
But in the eyes of Jarvan IV, it was just right for Lux.
"There is nothing we can do about it, the noble council." Jarvan IV also took a sip of the wine in the glass, "So, this glass of wine is regarded as an apology. This is a good thing I seized from Tobitsia Fortress, No.
Nothing else from Texas is good, but the wine is pretty good.”
"It's a trophy, then I want to taste it." A smile appeared on Lux's face, "But... a glass of wine is not enough!"
"?"
"Forsbyro was badly affected by His Majesty's Shurima trade!" Lark said directly without any scruples, "My respected Majesty, your move was really direct. Now that I think about it, I still feel sick.
Woolen cloth!"
"The royal family's warehouse is almost empty." When Jarvan IV mentioned this topic, there was a subtle emotion in Jarvan IV's tone. His face turned to Sona, who had just finished the song and left the performance area.
When I was in Bisiya, I once told Miss Sona about the situation at that time... Some nobles in the country are really a little lawless."
What Jarvan IV was talking about was how he comforted Sona after he took over the full command of the noble coalition. At that time, because he was worried that Lux would feel sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox, he specifically found Sona, the representative of the Northern Territory, and expressed his feelings to her about the Northern Territory.
Unlike other nobles, I have no intention of targeting the northern border.
"Their fiefdom was inherited from their ancestors. The land under their rule is rich and abundant. They don't need to face the threat of foreign enemies. They always have some inexplicable sense of superiority." Lacus continued.
, "Perhaps if we send them to the wasteland outside Fosbarrow City for a while, they will understand the hardships of their ancestors..."
"That's right." Regarding this point, Jarvan IV nodded with great agreement, "Without experience, it is difficult to truly understand what the glory of a noble is, and the merits inherited from the ancestors will always make them allergic to the slightest disturbance.
I thought the royal family was going to do something again.”
"Just like this time." Lux's lips curled up slightly, "Although I often say that this was an accident, many people have expressed concerns to me recently, including even nobles from the north. This is really bad.
Already."
"This worry is completely nonsense." Jarvan IV drank the wine in one gulp. "It was just a small accident - if the leader of the demon-seeking army is replaced by another person, some or more things will naturally happen.
Or, if someone talks to you about this matter again, you must explain it clearly!"
"Of course." Lux nodded lightly and drank the wine in the glass. "Your Majesty, don't worry. Everyone in the north is well aware of this."
"This is not just the North." Jarvan IV handed the cup to the waiter, "You are not only a model of nobility in the North."
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." Lux also handed the cup back to the waiter, her expression seemed a bit flattered, "However, after leaving Xiongdu for many years, my old friends in Xiongdu have gradually become estranged now."
"How could it be?" Jarvan IV smiled and waved his hand, "At the previous trade fair in Shurima, you Forsbarrow's merchants stole the show. This time the caravan came back, but you specially bought it.
Where is the golden wheel stone?"
"Thank you so much, Your Majesty..."
"..."
"..."
At the banquet, Jarvan IV and Lux exchanged words with each other as if they were friends, and reached a tacit understanding through two simple glasses of wine.
And this is also the way most nobles communicate - in comparison, slapping the table and glaring at the noble council is really not elegant enough.
Judging from the results, Jarvan IV and Lux have reached a tacit understanding, and Lux will be responsible for mediating. As a price, Jarvan IV promised to provide low-priced Golden Wheel Stone resources.
Considering that the demon searchers seemed to be a lot more honest, this was completely a slippery slope. This transaction was very fair and reasonable, and could be considered a win-win situation.
However, although Jarvan IV and Lux were both satisfied with the result, some among the accompanying people were not satisfied.
And this dissatisfied person is Miss Lanfu who has not caught the Enchanter's flaws and has not yet found the opportunity to cause trouble.
