Chapter 3: The Tin Throne
The river water brought by the embers has indeed had an extraordinary effect.
Just by distributing them to several hard-hit areas and dropping two drops, life in that land gradually recovered, and in just a few days, Illavire was back to its pre-disaster state, as if the two months of wind and snow were just a pure white nightmare.
In addition to the fact that the space-time magic still could not return to normal, daily life was not affected, and Vapperion took over the position of Wule and passed the time in Ifu's absence.
When everything was ready, Ifu found Snowy and agreed to go to the Tin Throne the next day.
She had left home many times to go to a distant country, but this time was different, the place she was going to was a country that was extremely unfamiliar to herself, and her impression was like a blank sheet of paper, and she had no knowledge about it, so she could only follow a stranger to understand.
Maybe it's a little reluctant, but it means that you will no longer be a "hero" or "monarch", and you won't have all kinds of worlds to save, but simply act with your companions as ordinary adventurers.
That's great!
The next day, the six of them came to Snowy, only to see him take out an ancient book with an incomprehensible alien script written on it, and under the chanting, several of them were teleported to the city of Nofertia, the city of the Tin Throne, the destination of his mouth.
If Ifu had to describe Nofertia, she would probably say that it was a city of beautiful "crafts".
Metal or silver ornaments are commensurate with pale blue glass, and the houses are dotted with pink cherry blossoms, and the floor is not a monotonous color, but is divided by white and yellow sand.
Perhaps because this was where the monarch was located, the only sound of the wind gently caressing the cherry blossom petals was left nearby, except for the sound of patrolling soldiers walking around.
Led by Snowy, several people entered the white castle, where the windows were very chic, like golden birdcages, and the stairs at their feet were also made of gray, crystal-like material, but most of them were covered by carpets, and they had to guess through the exposed parts on both sides.
It wasn't until he reached a door that Ember stopped.
"Welcome to Nophtia, Hiryinni, our monarch is waiting for you inside, and the other ladies can wait in the nearby tearoom. ”
And the Wild Rose still looked at ease, as if after pushing the door open, there would be an army of sword and axe hands waiting for her.
"Just Mr. Snowy, I'll look for you in a moment. ”
With that she touched the door lightly, and she examined it, and the door looked at her, trying to read in her eyes her purpose and whether she would be a danger to the place.
After a short "gaze" with the door, the door slowly opened, behind the seemingly ordinary door, there was a sunken "courtyard", and around the middle position, along the corridor all the way, you will see a glass flower room, on which there are many green plants and books,
There was a teenager sitting in a chair reading a book, and from a distance, she felt like she was in some kind of college, and the teenager was just a student studying in the sun.
But her instincts told her that it was the monarch of the Tin Throne.
Walking up to him, she politely saluted the boy, "Hello, I'm Hill from Illavire. ”
The boy closed the book in his hand and raised his head with a smile on his lips.
He looked about the same age as the teenager Vapperyon, but the difference was that Vapperyon's eyes were cold, while the boy's eyes were more unfathomable, and he squinted and his eyes were full of calculations.
"Don't be so polite, we are all the rulers of the Twenty-Four Kingdoms of Prophecy, you and I are on an equal footing, my name is Elelov Tovanny, you can call me by my name directly. ”
Although Anlelov was polite, Ifu did not dare to regard him as an equal to himself, so he nodded. "Understood, I don't know why you summoned me this time?"
"I'm sorry, because this matter involves the national secrets of the Tin Throne, so I didn't let Snowember know when I was in Illavire. Anlelov held out his hand, guided Yifu to sit down, and then told her about the purpose of the trip.
"Maybe you've heard that the Tin Throne is the head of the prophecy of the twenty-four kingdoms, but even the seemingly perfect country has internal problems that are difficult to solve, and the same is true for the Tin Throne, I have one thing I want to solve, but I have the eyes of various forces in the country, I can't directly send my organization, and if I look for helpers in the country, I can't be completely assured of their position. ”
He had a kind smile on his face, but his tone was flat, and his hand caressed the cover of the book, as if he were just talking to her about the philosophy of the book.
"But why me? Today should be the first meeting between you and me, how can you be so sure that I am up to the task? Aren't you afraid that I will cooperate with your enemies and have a different intention of annexing the Tin Throne?"
Yifu asked very bluntly, she did not shy away from talking about these issues, and Anlelov did not get angry, but appreciated her frankness.
"Maybe you knew me on the first day, but I paid attention to you long before the establishment of Illavire, because it was predicted that only Illavier had not appeared in the twenty-four kingdoms, so I became curious, and I always paid attention to the movements, and I have been observing you in the past hundred years since the founding of the country, you understand right and wrong, and you will not deliberately design frames, but it is not pure white, and..."
The smile in his eyes grew stronger, sending a chill down her spine.
"You know very well that if you are against me, I can destroy your Illavire at any time, and of course, I believe this will not happen. ”
"That's true. ”
She was a little uncomfortable stared at by him.
Ifu wasn't good at dealing with such people, and she thought she couldn't play them with her snack.
Seeing this, Anlelov turned his gaze back to the book, giving her a moment of respite.
"The history of every country is an interesting book, and the story of the Tin Throne is also very colorful, I know you don't like the feeling of standing on a high position, so I chose you, you don't need any pressure, just work with your companions, think of yourself as an ordinary adventurer of the Tin Throne, and find the answers I want in the process of traveling. ”
If Illavire's safety is her mission, the word "adventure" is what attracts her joy.
She had no reason to refuse him, and she was reasonable.
After a brief moment of thought, she asked.
"What do you need me to do?"
