On the day when the diplomatic mission returned, the capital of Demacia was rarely deserted.
The mission's great diplomatic success began to heat up early. Countless parades and celebrating people followed the official team all the way to the seaport, and even the cargo transportation in the port had to be temporarily stopped.
The crowd was singing and dancing, and the bards were playing cheerful tunes.
There is a long red carpet spread out at the central port, and a group of nobles have come here early to chat.
"What a congratulations, Marshal Tiana!"
The most popular among the crowd is naturally Tiana, an in-law who has a close relationship with Chai Anping. Lux did not come today. If Chai Anping had not returned early and slept with her for two days, she would have been there.
, but she has been getting along with Chai Anping for two days, so she doesn’t take it too seriously.
——This girl went to work early, hoping to use this deceitful method to restore her "reputation".
On the contrary, Ailebella took leave today.
Lux thought thoughtfully... Should she also take a leave?
Originally, the Third Emperor was going to personally greet the envoy. After all, there was William Raphael in the team, but yesterday he had a sudden idea and sent the prince over. Anyway, as the sole heir of the royal family, his presence was equally valued.
Not long after, the Alice slowly docked, and the sailors on the deck were wearing standard majestic costumes, fluttering in the wind.
Everyone in the envoy stood in the middle, also wearing luxurious robes.
Chai Anping had sneaked back to the ship last night and was standing at the front.
The port was crowded with people, and the cheers were deafening.
"play music!"
The ceremonial orchestras on both sides of the port played Demacia's solemn court music, and dozens of salute cannons blasted into the air, with ribbons flying after they exploded.
"Oh my God, there are so many people!"
Yuna and Ike, who were hiding in the cabin, were quite stunned: "It's so lively!"
Oligarchic places like Piltover rarely have such national celebrations.
The recent opening ceremony of Evolution Day was disrupted by an earthquake!
"Sister Yuna, do you think we should go down with the adults later or go down alone later?"
"this……"
Yuna was a little confused for a moment: "We should get off the boat with the sailors later."
"oh!"
It is worth mentioning that there are both white and yellow people in Demacia, but dark skin like Ike is very rare. Of course, skin color does not bring any prejudice.
After all, both Lucian and Senna can be admitted into the Holy Order and become Sentinels of Light.
It can be seen that the God here does not have any racial discrimination.
As soon as Ike let go, a sailor ran out of the cabin: "Two young masters, the ship is about to dock. The congressman invites you to get off the ship together!"
"ah?"
Ike, who couldn't cope with this scene at all, his eyes widened immediately.
"OK, just a second!"
Yuna nodded slightly and thanked the sailor.
She quickly took out two formal suits from a box.
"Fortunately, the teacher had foresight..."
"Eh?"
"Put it on quickly!"
Yuna pushed one of the suits to Ike: "The teacher prepared it for you."
"teacher?"
Ike was stunned, scratched his head, and quickly went back to his room to change clothes.
"Sister Yuna...I don't know how to wear it!"
"Wait, I'll help you."
When the plank was set up and ready to go down, Chai Anping turned his head and glanced behind him, and saw that Ike's face was dark and red for some reason, and his neck was shrunk like a quail. But speaking of this, this guy still wore a suit.
Vice ruffianism is also rare!
"Welcome back, you are all heroes of the kingdom!"
The prince stood in the center of the crowd and stepped forward to place medals and green branches on the members of the delegation one by one.
The green branch is a unique award for diplomats, symbolizing the peace they bring to the kingdom.
At the same time, there were also white robes that were beloved by Demacians. At this time, the prince was wearing something like a waistcoat for everyone, with the family crest of Jarvan's royal family tattooed on it, which was the highest silent honor.
Of course, only a few people can receive this reward, and others can only have an honorable share.
Ike and Yuna followed behind, and unexpectedly received two green hats, which put a little more smile on their faces.
The surrounding nobles who were watching the ceremony applauded, and the prince would say a few words to every diplomat, even calling them by their names. It was obvious that he had done enough homework this time.
Chai Anping was also a little flattered that the prince actually invited him to fencing with him when he came back.
It was quite sudden.
The entire welcoming ceremony lasted for half a day, and Xiongdu became a sea of joy.
Compared to ordinary people, the Master's perception of Chai Anping is more complex, but overall he is mostly grateful. Even those who have participated in the attack on the palace know today's situation, and this young representative has made a huge contribution.
Ellerbella disappeared into the crowd, silently looking at the familiar smiling face, and unknowingly burst into tears.
Crying and laughing at the same time.
"Girl, why are you crying?"
When the people around saw such a beautiful girl crying so hard, they all began to comfort her. They secretly thought that she might not have another crush on Gracie Shelley. To say that Miss Crown Guard was quick to act, so quickly.
Take the newly emerged young talents under your skirt.
"It's okay! I'm okay! Thank you everyone!"
Ellerbella wiped away her tears and slowly left in the direction away from Chai Anping.
…
Human beings' joys and sorrows are not the same. As expected, something strange happened to the team of mages who came all the way to Demacia.
A new day, new despair.
Finn and Gerald's tests were inconclusive, and Palmer's body couldn't be more normal!
but--
After the convoy hit the road again the next day, they soon discovered that the convoy was always looping back and forth on the same road, and the broken country road sign appeared in front of everyone for the third time.
It simply doesn’t indicate the direction, it says “This road is blocked”!
"Magic maze?"
"Not quite like..."
Just as the mages were thinking about how to break the situation, a scream suddenly came from the distance.
Like frightened rabbits, several people quickly ran towards the place where the accident occurred.
"Help!"
The screams that came to an abrupt end indicated that someone had met with misfortune. Judging from the accent, they must have been the guards who dispersed to investigate the situation.
Several people looked at each other and quietly slowed down as they approached the source of the sound.
"How's it going, Mr. Finn? Did you find anything?"
"One man is dead...and another man is eating his body."
"?!"
Finn took the lead and quickened his pace. It seemed that he judged that there was no danger that could threaten him.
The rest of the people followed him and sped up.
The scene of the accident was really horrific. A soldier with all the strange magic patterns on his armor was crawling on the ground, gnawing at the flesh and blood of his lost colleagues. And he himself looked obviously abnormal, with a side of his head growing out.
There was a pitch-black sharp corner, and his skull could still be vaguely seen. Black magic lines like thorns split his skin, and blood had gathered into a pool under his body.
This made him...the more he ate, the hungrier he became!
He let out a low roar like a beast, and looked at the mages who came here with his bloodshot eyes.
"Roar!"
"How..."
Gerald felt that the magic power in his body was about to surge out.
The soldier laughed strangely, and then he took off his little finger and stuffed it into the hole he had bitten.
"He seems to be the soldier who was responsible for burning that finger yesterday?!"
