Chapter Seventy-Four: The Treasure Hunt Team
Yaki's chaos was of course good news for Li Tianhao, the lord of Parchy's Dils, but he did not take advantage of this opportunity to launch a new attack on Yaki. There were many reasons for this, firstly, the desperate resistance of Bius in the city of Abdus made it difficult for the Dilcs army to advance; Secondly, Wei Song believed that if he marched into Ashtidon, the capital of Yaqui, at this time, it was very likely that the two forces that had already begun to fight would be forced to unite, and it would be in Parci's interest to let Yaqui have internal friction at present; The third reason was purely personal, that is, Viscountess Tia was about to give birth, and Queen Alfrette did not allow him to go on an expedition.
Speaking of which, since Tia met Her Majesty the Queen, the relationship between the two has become more and more intimate. Tia is smart and gentle, Afrit is lively and cheerful, Alfrette has no sister, and Tia is also a lonely person, the two love the same man, and after getting to know each other better, they become like sisters.
Just as Tia's due date was approaching, Palci welcomed an uninvited guest, an emissary sent by Usubu. Usubu's intention was simple, since the king had died, there was no need for Yaki to continue the state of war with Parci, and in order for the two sides to coexist peacefully, Yaki was willing to pay a sum of money to Parci every year as a sign of sincerity.
Of course, Li Tianhao scoffed at Usubu's intentions, and it was absolutely impossible for him to reconcile with Yaji from his position, but at this juncture, there was really no need to directly reject Usubu's request, and instigating Yaji to continue civil strife was the best strategy. Therefore, Li Tianhao's reply is clear: since Yaki wants to restore peace with Palci, then there is no reason for Palch to refuse this offer. However, what Palci needed was a peace agreement with King Yaki. With the current situation of two kings in Yaqui, such an agreement becomes worthless. If Usub wishes to restore peace, he will do so at least until there is only one king in Yaki. Until then, Palci can remain neutral for the time being. But it won't be long.
Li Tianhao understood that such an answer was enough for Wu Subu. Originally, his goal was not to restore peace, but to ensure that he had no worries when dealing with Cad Monro. Because Ashtidon, where Usub is located, is closer to Palchi. If you still have to divide your forces to deal with Palci, I am afraid that not only will you not be able to destroy Cad Monroe, but you will also be crushed by the attack on two fronts.
Of course, Li Tianhao is not a good man and a woman, and his promise has no fixed time at all, and if he needs to attack, he can still attack at any time, so as to force Usubu to act as soon as possible to avoid delay.
After sending off Usubu's envoy, Li Tianhao soon welcomed another group of "guests", that is, the treasure hunting team sent out half a year ago. Nisinis with Alam, Eglius. Together, Brooks and Mokado retrieve the few treasures needed to obtain the Staff of Horus. Over the course of half a year, the small treasure hunt team followed Nisinis's instructions to traverse several long-forgotten ruins in Arubania, Yaqui and Palci, and found what she needed from the ruins. What happened during this period was enough to make a long poem that could be sung by the bards, but Eglius was reticent by nature, Brooks, though usually pompous, kept his secrets secret, and Mokado, like his stepfather, did not like to be in front of people, let alone tell the past. As a result, Alam is the only one who keeps boasting about his magical adventures along the way, the subtleties of which are truly breathtaking, but unfortunately only twenty percent of the stories he tells are trusted at best.
Nisinis handed over the spoils of the treasure hunt to Li Tianhao. It was wrapped in layers of four oddly shaped pieces of metal, due to their age. The original luster on the metal block has long been erased by the years, and only the beautifully carved patterns on it are still vivid. It is carved with Hugh and cover cloth, respectively. Seth and Nephdis, the four ancient Yaqui gods, each of whom represents the wind. Earth, war and death.
Nisinis rubbed her old shriveled hand against the metal blocks, and said, "Four gods guard the temple of Horus. Stop those who attempt to seize the scepter. With these four keys, you will be able to pass these tests. ”
Li Tianhao showed a hint of hesitation about these: "I am not the lord of Palci, but the lord of Dils. If he could obtain the scepter of Horus, it would certainly threaten the prestige of the Palcian kingship. ”
Nisinis laughed dryly a few times and said slowly, "Lord Lord is very thoughtful. But the old body also hides one thing from you. The Scepter of Horus is a sacred relic left over from the ancients, and even a hero like you, Lord Lord, cannot obtain the Scepter of Horus. The Scepter of Horus is not only a symbol of power, but also a symbol of power, and it must have royal blood, but only the blood of the royal family cannot obtain it, and the person who can obtain the Scepter of Horus is not you, nor Her Majesty. ”
"Could it be" Li Tianhao's eyes of different colors flashed back and forth six times before he said the answer in his heart: "Is it Princess Patura?" ”
"Not bad. The only incarnation of the royal bloodline, which symbolizes power, and the blood of heroes, which symbolizes power, can obtain the Staff of Horus! So this time you have to let Princess Patula go with you, you are just the one who protects the princess. ”
Li Tianhao's heart suddenly turned a few corners. If his daughter is bound to become Queen of Palchi in the future, then the Scepter of Horus is undoubtedly an excellent tool to stabilize her position, and this is also in line with Li Tianhao's original intention to destroy Yaki by himself, and he is certainly willing to accept this point. But Patura is still a doll under the age of three, and it is a little unbearable for her to carry such a heavy mission from an early age. Besides, it is difficult to say what Queen Alfrett's attitude will be, and will she feel comfortable taking her daughter to a dangerous temple?
Thinking of this, Li Tianhao said to Nisinis: "I hope to discuss this matter with Her Majesty the Queen." ”
Nisinis raised her head and glanced at Li Tianhao with the only remaining light under her lowered eyelids, and then smiled: "Lord Lord, please take it, the old body is here to wait for good news." ”
Looking at Nisinis's unpredictable expression, Li Tianhao didn't know if she had already understood the outcome of the matter or was purely wishing, but at this moment he had no intention of thinking about the meaning of Nisinis's expression anymore, compared to this, he had to carefully consider how to lend his daughter in front of his wife.
