After entering New Shurima City, the next key step is to find out information about the previous battle that occurred outside the city.
Ino and Shyvana originally thought this would be a difficult task. In their understanding, gathering intelligence was not a simple matter.
But unexpectedly, this matter went very smoothly from the beginning - because when you walk into any restaurant or pub, the main topic among diners and drunkards is the battle.
It was as if more than half of the people in the entire Shurima city ran to watch the battle after hearing the noise.
Not to mention, there are even many nimble-minded and sharp-tongued bards or storytellers in Shurima City. They simply adapted the battle into a literary and artistic work, performed it grandly, and received bursts of applause from time to time.
, although a lot of the content obviously contains subjective conjecture and entertainment routines, most of the content is what they have seen with their own eyes.
What's even more outrageous is that in a special theater company, Ino and Shyvana even watched a puppet show of "The Battle of Two Heroes". The puppet master and the magician in charge of the scenery cooperated skillfully, and the jackal puppet and the arcane puppet moved in one move.
The whole battle, and the final scene of rolling yellow sand and boiling earth, really looked like what was happening on the stage!
It seems that in Shurima City, the battle between "two ascended ones" has become a completely top-notch event, and even has a faint tendency to be turned into entertainment, which can be said to be quite outrageous.
"Aren't these people afraid?" After leaving the theater club, Ino was really confused. "Why do these Shuriman people seem to not regard them as the same thing at all?"
"Either they are stupid, or they have their own reliance." Kalya shrugged, "And according to my observation, it should be the latter."
"There are powerful people in Shurima City?" Ino blinked, "Or is there a very powerful weapon here?"
"Perhaps it's because this place is called Shurima City?" Kalya chuckled, "Let's go, we'll stop here today, have a good night's rest, and go visit the Regent Elders tomorrow."
"Ah?" x2
Hearing what Kalya said, both Ino and Sivana were a little surprised.
Is it necessary to reveal one's identity directly and have the king return?
"What are you thinking about?" From the stunned expressions of the two of them, Kalya easily guessed what they were thinking, "Of course they are Vazuan explorers, so they said they were worried about the security situation around Shurima City.
"
"But this shouldn't be enough for the Regent Elder Council to come forward in person, right?"
"I will, I will." Kalya is quite confident about this. "When I go back later, prepare a document and stamp it with my personal seal. They will definitely not refuse to meet."
"Your personal seal?" Ino was a little confused, "I've never heard you talk about it?"
"Here, this is it." Kalya stretched out his right hand, and a seal made purely of yellow sand was floating in the palm of his hand. "The seal I made myself is my personal seal, isn't it?"
Ino picked up this small seal curiously, and then found that there was no word on the seal, only a small feather pattern.
"Prince Lingyu?"
"Correct answer." Kalya nodded, and the seal turned into fine sand and returned to his hand. "It's a pity that there is no reward - let's go."
Although they said they needed to have a good rest tonight, Shyvana and Ino did not wash up and go to bed early.
Ino has experienced the summit trial, and Shyvana is a giant dragon. Their concepts of fatigue and rest are somewhat different from ordinary people.
So, after preparing the paperwork, one person and one dragon simply left the hotel and went to the night market in Shurima City.
Kalya didn't really want to go, but at Ino's strong request, he finally had to wear a smiling mask and follow the footsteps of the two little girls.
It seemed that because they were not in a good mood, Ino and Sivana had a great time eating and having fun at the night market, but Kalya commented sharply throughout the whole process. In his mouth, the delicacies at most stalls in the night market were "
That's all." It's either "the cooking technique is not that good" or "the freshness of the ingredients is not good enough." Anyway, there is always something wrong.
During this period, many stall owners expressed their dissatisfaction, but Kalya insisted on the attitude of "just try it if you don't accept it, I'm really good at it" and quickly taught them a lesson.
When Ino and Shyvana walked around the night market and came out, they were followed by many stall owners who "wanted to get advice from experts", holding their own works and asking Kalya to comment.
"Are you building momentum?" After returning to the hotel, Shyvana asked Kalya with some confusion, "For tomorrow's meeting?"
"Be prepared for anything unexpected." Kalya pretended that you had noticed, "Also, I saw that many things were lost, so I couldn't help it."
"You were not like this before." Ino was a little confused, "Last time you were afraid of extra trouble..."
"People always change." Kalya shook her head gently, "At that time, you were still talking about Miss Laxana——"
Ino frowned.
She could clearly feel that Kalya was just changing the subject, but with her current face, she couldn't do anything without being shaken by Kalya's revelations - in desperation, she had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.
……………………
A night of silence.
The next day, Shyvana, who submitted the official document, successfully obtained the qualification to attend the meeting.
Under the leadership of the guards, the three of them passed through the antechamber with carved pillars, walked through the garden that was obviously built with water from the Shurima River, and finally entered the inner court of the Regency Council of Elders.
Then, Ino and Shyvana were surprised to find that what they were about to see was not a certain elder, but all the regent elders.
A total of thirteen regents, dressed in pale golden robes and wearing various ancient decorations, sat at attention around a long crescent-shaped table.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After the three of them entered the inner court, the regent sitting in the middle cleared his throat, and then took the initiative to speak in a very majestic tone.
"Vazuan's...explorers." He seemed to dislike the word explorer. "Or the Prince Regent's envoy."
Ino and Shyvana both had expressionless faces.
"I saw your document and confirmed the power of blood on it." The regent continued, "Is there any royal blood circulating in the world that needs help?"
"The prince has never asked the Shurima people to support his bloodline." Following Kalya's request, Shyvana responded, "There is no need for unnecessary temptation."
Hearing this, the regent nodded gently - this was indeed a test. Although in the hearts of the Shuriman people, the royal family is indeed very special, but Kalya has always been the one who attacks the royal family the most. If Shyvana
Going by what the regent said, she could almost be judged as a liar.
"Then, tell us your true purpose." The regent elder continued to say slowly, "In troubled times, everything needs to be done with caution. Even Wazuan, who has Prince Lingyu, should not act rashly at this time."
"That's why we came here." Shyvana nodded lightly, "Shurima seems to be on the brink of war again. Ancient existences have awakened in the yellow sand, and followers of glory and corruption are ready to move."
Shyvana's words made the expressions of the regents and elders change somewhat.
Although most of these thirteen people remain calm on their faces, when you take a closer look, some are sad, some are calm, and so on.
"Glory or fall, it is the past of the empire." The regent elder in the middle still looked indifferent as usual, "Shurima City will never participate in these disturbances, and disturbances will never invade Shurima City."
"Even if rumors spread throughout Shurima City?"
"Those are just the lies of ordinary people, and they are not worth reading."
"Even if the traitors are trying to resurrect the last emperor and rebuild Shurima?"
"It's just lies." The regent shook his head gently, "And the traitor is a traitor because he betrayed His Majesty the Emperor's trust. Even if he used evil witchcraft to create a similar puppet, how could anyone
Do you believe that is His Majesty the Emperor?"
"But before that, the betrayer and the Grand Master fought outside the city, and the whole city watched." Shyvana continued, "If we ignore it, the war will eventually reignite."
"This is the city of Shurima, the land of all glory and glory." Even though Shyvana's words were a bit harsh, the regent still looked unmoved, "No one can intrude on the city of Shurima.
.”
According to Kalya's request, Shyvana pressed forward step by step, hoping to see the attitude of the Regent Elder Council, but no matter what she said, the Regent Elder Council would not answer directly, but solemnly stated that "Shurima City will not be affected."
.
The communication between the two parties does not seem to have any effective results.
However, after Shyvana left, both parties subtly came to some conclusions they wanted to see.
On the side of the Regent Elders Council, thirteen regent elders held a closed-door meeting after Shyvana, Ino and Kalya left.
After some discussion, they agreed that "the Vazuan people have the ambition and desire to fight for hegemony in Shurima, and hope to drag the city of Shurima down into the water, becoming each other's horns."
"That sand whisperer thought he could deceive me without speaking." The elder who had hosted this meeting finally no longer looked like the old god he had been before. "He must be the heir of a certain royal family.
The news from Wei's side has been confirmed, he pointed out a lot of people at the night market last night."
"Is he from Uzeris?" A female senator at the edge of the long table frowned, "Is it a personal behavior, or has Uzeris and Vazuan reached some tacit understanding?"
"It's hard to say." Another senator who looked very strong shook his head, "Although most of the Sand Whisperers are in Uzeris, Shurima is so big. The descendants of the royal family were scattered all over the place. The smaller the oases, the smaller the oases.
The inheritance of the bloodline will also become purer. Maybe Wazuan has found a descendant of a royal family and wants to pull the tiger's skin and raise the banner!"
"Yes, those Varzuan country bumpkins have a criminal record in this regard." Speaking of this, a gentle and gentle-looking elder seemed a little unhappy, "They are digging around in the desert and they don't know where to find anything.
What did you do to create a prince's feather..."
"Didn't there be news before that an ancient tomb was robbed east of Nasramei?" The youngest regent frowned, "Listening to the news from Nasramei, it may be that Lord Horlock was there.
’s resting place.”
"Could it be the daring Wazuans who did it?"
"The time doesn't match up a bit, but it's very similar. Maybe it's possible."
"They lack respect for the empire." The gentle and gentle elder snorted, "Those country bumpkins have not inherited the glory and greatness of Shurima at all. They are just obsessed with money and can't help themselves. They even rely on the prince's golden feathers to do business.
…”
No one answered his words, because everyone here knew that when this guy said this, he was a little jealous - his family was the only purely commercial family among all the regent elders, and Vazuan used the prince's gold to
He had long been jealous of Yu Kailu's connection to the trade route.
It is a pity that although the city of Shurima also has an orthodox status, its commercial influence can only be maintained along the Shurima River. The merchants of Vazuan can go to all places in northern Shurima by boat, but Shurima
However, merchants in Macheng could not easily cross the Dasai Desert and could only trade along the river.
So after this guy heard about the Wazuans, he has been full of dissatisfaction with those "country bumpkins".
"Don't forget, the Wazuans even colluded with the Icathians' rebellion." The only masked regent added, "The Icathians are fighting against the Wazuans under the banner of the prince.
Doing business...that's not a good thing."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! You said something, I said something, several regents and elders expressed their opinions one after another. A few elders criticized Wazuan, and most of them thought that it should be
Just wait and see what happens.
"Vazuan is indeed uneasy." After everyone had finished speaking, the elder in the middle finally concluded, "But it is not the time for us to take action... Golden Feather is too heavy, and someone with weight must try it.
Test the quality, for this, we just need to wait with peace of mind."
On the other hand, Kalya also got a lot of interesting information from the content of the conversation just now.
"These regents are really able to sit still." Although theoretically, these people are his descendants, Kalya's comments were particularly rude, "They really don't know what they are about to face.
What?"
"Perhaps they are emboldened." Ino curled his lips, "They already have at least a share of reputation and power - and, judging from the results of our investigation yesterday, even the battle between Xerath and Nasus will be
Subconsciously avoiding Shurima City, and there is also an unknown person interfering."
"That person is not from Shurima City." Speaking of this mysterious man, Kalya had some guesses, "If the people in Shurima City were not collectively deceived by illusions, the person who resolved the fight might have been with A Zhi.
It matters."
A Zhi?
Hearing this name, both Ino and Shyvana thought of the child from another family that had appeared in Kalya's mouth many times.
"And the inheritors of Azhi must be different from these guys." A bright and gratifying smile appeared on Kalya's mask, "These regents think they are confident, but in my opinion... they are just...
