Chapter 1474: A Small Gift (Cooled Yesterday and Heated Up Today)
It's late at night.
However, the face of the woman standing in front of the window was even more gloomy than the night.
"Yes......... Something like this happened........."
"Yes."
Hearing the woman's emotion, a dark figure outside the window replied in a low voice.
"Now that the situation in the country has begun to become very unstable, if anything happens in the next third wave, I am afraid that the situation will be even more critical.........
“………………”
Hearing this, the woman's expression became more and more serious.
This woman is none other than the true ruler of Meg Marlow, Her Majesty Queen Mirelia.
In fact, after the first wave, in order to persuade the countries to cooperate, Queen Mirelia personally sent envoys to the countries. However, in the process, an unexpected scene happened.
That is her husband, Meg Marlo XXXII, who actually summoned the Four Holy Braves!
As mentioned before, in the past, according to tradition, each nation summoned a brave man to fight. But this time, Meg Marlowe actually summoned all the four holy warriors in one go, which immediately caused an uproar. All countries have shown strong antipathy and anger at this.
And in order to appease these countries, Mirelia, as the queen, has to maneuver between countries, otherwise, it is possible that the countries will directly start a war against Meg Marlow.
Although Mirelia hoped that the kingdom would remain stable, what happened next took a turn for the worse.
First of all, one of the Four Holy Braves, the Shield Brave, was reported to the nation by Meg Marlo XXXII for attempted rape of a woman, and then the Shield Warrior completely turned his face on the spot with the XXXII, which shocked the queen quite a lot. But fortunately, the second wave passed safely, which can be regarded as a relief for her.
However......... Unfortunately, the good times were short-lived.
On the night of the end of the wave, the Bow Hero, one of the Four Holy Heroes, challenged the Shield Warrior and was directly killed on the spot by the opponent, shocking the entire continent. However, this is not the end, before the countries can come to their senses, on the next day, Meg Marlo XXXII led a large army to try to arrest the Shield Brave in the name of killing the Bow Brave, but the Shield Brave reprimanded that the other party summoned a fake Four Holy Warriors, intending to occupy the Four Holy Weapons!
Not only that, but by the side of the Shield Hero, a brand new Bow Hero has appeared!
And after that, this Bow Warrior who had just been summoned actually defeated the Sword Warrior with ease.........
This flurry of information has become a bit unacceptable to all countries.
However, for Queen Mirelia, the situation also developed to the worst level.
According to the report of the "Shadow" troops under her command, at this moment in the country, it has been completely divided into two factions, most of the people and some soldiers agree with the words of the Shield Brave, after all, the performance of the previous three brave men in front of everyone is indeed unsatisfactory. The so-called no comparison, there is no gap, everyone may not think it before, but after seeing the strength displayed by the Shield Warrior and the second summoned Bow Warrior, they also have doubts about whether the Three Holy Warriors are really impostors.
On the other hand, the king, the Three Warriors, and some of the noble ministers were determined that the shield warriors were demons, and the summoned bow warriors were also demonic followers, and they were powerful because they used evil demonic powers. The king even said bluntly that he would never forgive the Demon of the Shield for killing the Three Holy Braves!
The Shield Warrior also put down his words in public, if in the third wave, the Sword Warrior and the Spear Warrior can't prove that they are indeed the real Four Saint Warriors, then he will directly kill them and re-summon a new Four Saints Warrior to fight.
The thirty-second Meg Marlo, who forged the Four Holy Braves, will also be executed!
At this point, there is no room for manoeuvre.
Now Meg Marlow is calm on the surface, but there is a dark tide in the interior.
Everyone, waiting for the arrival of the third wave, and the result.
But the queen knew that whatever the outcome, the situation was already out of control.
If the Sword Hero and the Gun Hero can't show their due strength in the third wave, then the Shield Hero will definitely not hesitate to kill the two of them and then summon a new Four Holy Heroes. And he will definitely lead people into the royal city and condemn the king in this way. And Meg Marlowe XXXII will definitely not be restrained, and the two sides will definitely start a full-scale war because of this.
But even if the Sword Warrior and the Gun Warrior showed their strength in the Third Wave, things weren't much better. Because Meg Marlowe XXXII will definitely take advantage of the topic, declare that the Shield Hero is the murderer of the Three Holy Heroes, and send troops to fight it.
Eventually, the situation will evolve into the same outcome.
If she could, the queen would be eager to return home immediately and negotiate with the Shield Hero in person to solve the problem.
But......... She couldn't.
Because the external environment is harsher than the inside.
If, within Meg Marlow, the argument about this is half versus half, then externally, almost all countries are on the side of the Shield Brave.
Their reasons are also very persuasive.
The first point is that the Shield Warrior did show the strength of the legendary Four Holy Warriors, but the other three did not seem to have such a strong strength before.
The second point is that the Shield Hero has re-summoned a new Bow Hero.
As we all know, the weapons of the Four Holy Warriors are bound, and there is no possibility that they can kill the Brave and replace them. However, the Shield Hero kills the Bow Hero and resummons the Bow Hero.
What does this mean?
The legend of the Four Holy Heroes belongs to the whole continent, and almost all countries know the beginning and end of this legend very well, but in the legend, such a thing has never happened. According to the legend, the four holy warriors of the previous generation returned to their original world after saving the world, and the four holy weapons will disappear, waiting for the next wave and the arrival of a new master.
However, after the Bow Warrior was killed, the Holy Bow, one of the four holy weapons, instead of disappearing, summoned a Bow Warrior again, what does this mean?
Doesn't that mean that the previous one was fake? Otherwise, when the Bow Hero is killed, the Holy Bow should disappear instead of being re-summoned!
In this way, the hostility of countries towards Meg Marlo will deepen.
Originally, it was enough for you to occupy four brave men in one country, but you actually got three fake ones?!
Thinking about it this way, before Meg Marlowe XXXII fabricated charges to the Shield Brave, I am afraid that he also knew that only the Shield Brave was real, so he deliberately framed him!
Because of this, the queen is also anxious at the moment and doesn't know what to do.
If she doesn't go back, then the outbreak of civil war is certain and certain, judging from the previous actions of the Shield Brave, he not only has great strength, but also has a strong will, and will definitely not compromise with Meg Marlo XXXII. And Meg Marlowe XXXII is also bent on going his own way, and it is almost impossible to reconcile with the brave of the shield.
But if she returns, then the surrounding countries will definitely form a combined army to crusade against Meg Marlow. Not to mention anything else, just forging the Four Holy Warriors is enough to make them famous.
Although everything was stable now, the queen knew that this was the last calm before the storm. Wait until the third wave is over, regardless of the outcome......... The current calm will be completely broken.
In other words, you have to come up with a solution to this problem within this time.
But......... The queen doesn't have the slightest clue what to do.
That night, the queen did not sleep all night.
Compared to the queen, who was so sad that she almost lost sleep, Fang Zheng seemed to give more priority, not only did he get a good night's sleep, but he even got a brand new pet............
"What is this fat bird?"
Looking at the squeaky bird lying on top of his head, Fang Zheng curiously reached out and poked it. This little guy looks like a fat chick on the outside, except that its feathers are pink......... At this moment, it was fluttering around on Fang Zheng's head, and it looked as if Fang Zheng was his own father again.
Well? Why do you say again?
Well......... This starts with a certain little fire dragon.........
"Ah, this is the young of the Philo bird."
Raphtalia next to her was also finished eating, and looked curiously at the young bird on Fangzheng's head.
"Philo Bird? That chocobo? ”
Hearing this, Fang Zheng nodded in realization. There is a thing called the Philo Bird in this world, and from the outside, the mount called the Chocobo in a certain game world that Fang Zheng knows is similar, similar in appearance to an ostrich, but unlike an ostrich, the Philo Bird is covered in feathers like the Chocobo.
Moreover, the Philo is very powerful, and can be used not only as a mount, but also as a cart. In fact, during this period of time, Fang Zheng and others have not seen a lot of philo birds pulling carts on the street.
Right now, this young bird hatched from the monster egg that the sunglasses merchant gave to Fang Zheng before.
But wait, remember what that guy said was that the highest can draw the Earth Dragon, and the lowest has the Philo Bird Guarantee............
He's meowing, and his hands are black again!
patting the chick on his head, Fang Zheng sighed helplessly.
Forget it, this is also a basic operation, not unusual.
"Let's go, let's go to the Adventurer's Guild today to see if there are any tasks."
Since the end of the second wave, most places have stabilized, but there are still some places with varying degrees of problems, because of the outbreak of the wave, some of the fish that slipped through the net may have run away to other places to do evil, or some of the monsters that were originally in the place were stimulated to take action, all in all, there are big and small troubles in various regions at the moment, and these troubles will also appear in the form of commissions in various adventurer guilds.
All Founder has to do is take these commissions and get the trouble done.
Of course, he generally only looked at those more difficult commissions, after all, the higher the level, the more experience, and the low-level monster crusade was naturally not attractive to Fang Zheng.
"Ah, Lord Brave!"
Seeing Fang Zheng walking into the Adventurer's Guild, the woman in front of the counter immediately smiled and greeted them. Since the second wave, people's attitude towards the Shield Hero has also been much better, and now it is about the same as ordinary people.
"Yo, do you have any commissions today?"
"For now......... Well, there is indeed one thing, and I hope that the brave can help. ”
"Oh? What's up? ”
"In another small town on the eastern side of the mountain, there has recently been a very deadly plague."
"The plague?"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows, while the woman nodded.
"Although people in the small town have been treated, it has had little effect. Everyone knows that the Shield Warrior has a lot of power, so ............"
"Understood, I'll go check on the situation and investigate."
Fang Zheng was not surprised by this, after all, in this world, what he did on weekdays was the same as in the fairy sword world, except for fighting monsters, he was a cameo divine doctor. Anyway, most diseases can be cured with holy light, and if you are a little more troublesome, you can directly get a shot of medical glue, and because of this, Founder's reputation can be regarded as spreading.
"Then, please leave it to the Brave."
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, the woman also hurriedly lowered her head and bowed, while Fang Zheng nodded, and immediately turned around and left after completing the formalities.
However, no sooner had Fang Zheng left the Adventurer's Guild than he saw Xiao Meiyan, Raphtalia, and Lifana gathered around a shop, seemingly discussing something.
"Huh? What are you doing? ”
"Ah, master."
Hearing Fang Zheng's inquiry, the three of them turned their heads, and then Lifana greeted Fang Zheng respectfully.
"We're looking at the pendants here, and they look beautiful."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng stepped forward and saw that in front of the store, there were all kinds of silver jewelry, some of which were inlaid with gemstones, which looked very exquisite and beautiful.
"Do you want it?"
"Huh?"
"Buy it if you want, Xiaoyan, which one do you like?"
"Well, I want this."
In the face of Fang Zheng's inquiry, Xiao Meiyan was silent for a moment, and then stretched out her hand and pointed to a pendant.
"Lifana, Raphtalia, what about you?"
"Huh? Do we have that too? ”
Hearing Fang Zheng's inquiry, both of them were taken aback, while Fang Zheng nodded.
"Of course, it's not that I don't have money, it's just a piece of jewelry, and it's not that expensive, just tell me if you want it."
"That............ I want this. ”
The two of them got along with Fang Zheng for just over a month, and they also understood that Fang Zheng was different from the people they met before, so they didn't excuse themselves any more. Soon, Raphtalia takes a fancy to a bracelet, while Lifana chooses a pair of earrings.
However, just as everyone was satisfied with the shopping and was about to leave, Fang Zheng suddenly stopped and set his eyes on an emerald green ring.
"Lord Brave, your vision is so good."
Seeing that Fang Zheng was looking at the ring, the shopkeeper also hurriedly smiled and said.
"It's a treasure carved from jadeite gemstones, and it's worth a lot of money........."
"Uh-huh........."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng picked up the ring and stared at it carefully for a moment.
Then, a flash of magic quietly emerged, and then condensed in the center of the ring and disappeared.
"Master, are you going to buy this?"
At this time, Raphthalia also leaned over to watch curiously, while Fang Zheng smiled slightly and put down the ring in his hand.
"No, I'm just looking."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng put the ring back in its original place, and then the corners of his mouth curled slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.
"Alright, let's go."
