Chapter 42: Departure
Riginard patted his palm on the masonry of the city wall and walked forward, stopping. At this time www.biquge.info they had reached the other end of the city wall, and from the wall at the north end, the plain in the distance was covered with wheat, and under the clear glass-colored sky, it was golden.
"It's beautiful." Reginard finally said something irrelevant and sighed.
"yes." Irelia agreed, but it made her feel a little depressed.
"It's two hundred steps here. It is half of the city wall. In other words, we have to have a thousand archers to hold it. β
Has this guy just been talking and measuring the city walls? And it's not just about talking, it's about processing what you know, and coming up with a series of measures. How can you divide it into so many uses?
Irelia looked at the weak chicken, and her heart became more and more interested in this guy.
Is this guy really human? Such a brain, even as a high-level magician, can be called a pervert.
"Unfortunately, the number of archers in the city is only five hundred. There were more than 800,000 arrows, but there were plenty of them. Zelos replied.
"Is there a village around here that is dominated by hunters?"
"Sun Hunter Town. The town elders started out by hunting and selling hides, so they were highly respected. That's where the archery genius Varus came from. Just ......," Zelos said.
"Just what?"
Irelia took over and replied, "Sunhunter isn't very far from Starfall Village, if Noxus does capture Starfall...... I'm afraid it's very dangerous right now. What are you going to do? β
"Maybe they're the archers I'm looking for." The young white-robed mage stretched, "I need to make a trip to Sun Hunting Town. β
"It's too dangerous, Reginard." "You don't have to go yourself. The sword has no eyes, and the world is impermanent. No matter how good you are, if something happens......"
"Always think about what if, don't do anything. I might even have accidentally fallen from here now, or been hacked to death by a butcher's cleaved cleaver while passing through the market. Reginard grinned, "The affairs of the city, you have to weigh it up, Madam Karma, and for those old stubborns, you can cut it first." As for me, in a few moments I will set out to find the archers and prepare my horses for me. I hope my archers are still waiting for me in town. He made a joke, but it wasn't funny, so he laughed to himself.
"I'll go too." Irelia said suddenly.
"Nope." Zelos had a clear attitude.
"Why? You can't let the guests who come from afar go go to the danger on their own, right? Besides, my swordsmanship, my brother didn't know it, at least when you were ten years old, I still hung you on a tree and spanked you. Irelia smiled wryly.
"Hey ......"
"Okay, okay? Sister Karmaβ" Choked Zeloth, and Irelia shuffled again, shaking Karma's arm.
"Uh...... All right. Be sure to stay safe, though. β
"I know that Sister Karma is the best." Irelia puffed out her cheeks and said. "Remember to prepare a set of armor for me by the way, and ask for a small one. Don't think I don't know, there are still hundreds of extra sets of armor in the armory. She looked at Zelos triumphantly and grinned, revealing a pair of small spiky tiger teeth.
With an iron face, Zelos walked down the wall to the other side.
"Actually," Karma said slowly, looking at Zeroth's back, "Zeros doesn't seem to be very popular among his soldiers. β
"The task of an officer is to lead the army to fight, not to all soldiers like him, otherwise I will pick a few beautiful women to be officers."
"Hush." Irelia tilted her head dismissively.
In fact, this guy's serious appearance is quite admirable, but it's a pity......
"I'll pay attention to that, though." Reginard said as he regained his seriousness. "Okay, okay, let's not talk about these troubles. I want to take a hot shower, have a full meal, and hit the road again, no problem, right? β
"Of course it's fine." Karma nodded in agreement.
"I'm going to eat Orleans roast goose, creamy quail, roast leg of lamb, um...... It is better to spread some honey on the leg of lamb. I've heard that Ionia's seafood dishes are superb, eel pie and crab pie I must try this time, otherwise it will be a wasted trip, and by the way, there is another oxtail soup, I am more used to drinking soup after meals. By the way, what are some good desserts here? I don't know if there's a little lemon cake, but if there is, it's best, but I don't mind trying something new. Well...... If you drink it, forget it, and you'll have to ride a horse later. β
"You're enough......" Irelia said with a pout.
β¦β¦
A few hours later, Reginard was in the square in the center of the city, waiting for Irelia's arrival.
Plenty of water and food.
When he took a bath, he deliberately controlled the water element to avoid the scar on his back. The wound left by Tyrone, the shadow of the blade, is really still very troublesome.
But it's good to get away with it.
He thought as he tightened his wound in the comfort of his room, hoping that he would ride a horse for a while, and the road would be bumpy and not break the wound.
He should be more worried about the mental power he lost by casting that damn pupil technique, right? His brow jumped, frowning slightly.
But Irelia is a bit slow.
Reginard changed into a soft and light outfit and walked slowly around the main square to pass the time.
In the middle of the square, there is the temple of Kalmar, and the two tall and majestic buildings on the left and right, made of white marble and bluestone, are the left and right houses of the Elders' House. The powers of the two houses are divided, and major matters are jointly decided by the elders of the villages and towns in the administration.
It's like two tall giants, facing each other and guarding the land together.
Reginard knew all too well about this, after all, at the time of the establishment of the War College, the organization used to manage the League of Legends of his dreams, and to really keep the traumatized Valoran out of war, was established according to Ionia's republican system of separation of powers.
But when he came to the famous Presidium square, he was still very struck by the fact that in front of the temple stood a statue.
The sculpted figure knelt on one knee, facing the straight avenue leading to the outside of the city, bowing his head humbly, as if to welcome the guests. The words are engraved on the pedestal of the rock:
"Ionia welcomes you, and I will grant you the same freedom as I do to those who built this world and are used as slaves. - Presidium"
Holy King Presidium. The world's first uncrowned king. The man who established this mysterious eastern kingdom in this magical land is the king who has returned the power to the elders.
Reginard touched his chest in front of the statue and closed his eyes slightly.
He heard the sound of horses' hooves on the brick and stone streets, and the crisp sound of stepping out.
"Sorry, I'm late. It's because of the armor. The girl's voice was equally clear.
Reginad turned, grabbed the reins thrown from Ellie, and stepped on the stirrups to mount his horse, "It's okay, it's more punctual than the girls on the other side of the sea." β
The girl is actually just wearing a layer of soft armor, and there are sporadic metal pieces to protect the vital points of the body, after all, she is not a warrior, and if she suddenly changes to a weight, she will not be used to it, affecting the battle, and it seems that she knows this reason.
He took the reins of his horse in his palm and looked at the crowd, the malice that had almost swallowed him and Ahri not so long ago, and it was almost impossible to imagine that it was not so long ago.
"It's the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox! That monster! β
"Seize her and put her to death in public! Guardsman! β
Those images still seem to be rolling in front of me.
Reginad glanced back at the statue of the Holy King.
Wouldn't even a majority ruling prevent tyranny? The hardest thing in the world is forgiveness, right?
The gaze of the statue of the Holy King under the lowered brows was resolute and calm, as if he had given him an answer.
"Let's go." He said.
