Yes, this is Erathia. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info When Gu Shiyu stepped on this long-awaited land, he was inevitably excited, and even a little nervous.

Is this where your lover grew up, and will there be her sweet and warm smell in the air?

But the ship deviated from course and ran aground near a small fishing village. The sailors rowed a small boat and brought Gu Shiyu, Renesas, Eufritin, and their luggage ashore. Gabriel and Lucifer were reluctant to return to the Isle of Light and were bent on following the heroes they worshipped, so Gu Shiyu had to take them with him.

The fishing village is small, but peaceful. Strangely, almost all of the people who were busy were old people, women and children. When they came ashore, the villagers stopped what they were doing and looked at them warily.

"We are not pirates. Gu Shiyu said to an old man who walked towards him: "We are from the Holy Light Island, and we are going to the capital of Erathia. ”

The old man looked at them and saw that they did not have malicious intent, and then said reassuringly, "Which capital are you going to?"

"Why, does Erathia have many capitals?" asked Gu Shiyu strangely. Seeing the puzzled look on the old man's face, he explained, "I'm sorry, but before I came to Holy Light Island, I had been staying in the Lost Land, so I didn't know a lot of things. ”

"You're from the Lost Lands?" the old man excited, "Is our Venerable Princess Catherine all right?"

"Yes, she's fine. Soon after, she would be returning to Erathia. ”

"That's really wonderful!" said the old man with tears in his eyes, "and many of the people of Erathia wish she would come back soon." Erathia had two capitals, the current one was King Kendall's Ironfist Castle, which was his former domain, but there was another capital in people's minds, and that was the former Standwick Castle of King Gfinghardt. ”

Gu Shiyu had heard that King Geffenhardt had been temporarily regent by his queen after he had fallen in the Lost Lands, and it was not until Gru traveled around and visited Standwick Castle that people learned that His Majesty had died in the Lost Lands. Geffenhardt's younger brother Kendall, believing that the former king had not appointed a legal heir and that he was the only candidate for the throne, staged a coup d'état and imprisoned the queen regent.

It seems that Kendall deserves to be the king, otherwise how could people still think of Standwick as the capital in their minds?

"Old man, I want to visit Princess Saiya, should I go to Tekken Castle or to Standwick?"

"Are you here to propose to Her Royal Highness Princess Saiya?" the old man looked Gu Shiyu up and down and said, "You seem to be a great hero, and your talent is not bad, but you are not necessarily worthy of our Royal Highness Princess Saiya." ”

"Nonsense!" Lucifer was furious, his handsome face flushed, "Do you know who he is? He is the hero of the arena on the island of Light, the Great Chosen One!"

This is the first time Gu Shiyu heard Lucifer speak, although his tone was cold, but he sincerely expressed his admiration for himself, and Gu Shiyu listened very comfortably in his heart.

"Why is it so rude to talk as a young man?" the old man said, "I have seen many more noble people than you have seen, and I have seen many people die on the desolate battlefield in pursuit of illusory titles. ”

"I'm not here to propose. Gu Shiyu said embarrassedly: "I just want to return some things to her." ”

"What, you're not here to propose?" the old man got angry: "Don't you think that the beautiful and noble Princess Saiya is not worthy of you idiot?"

"No, it's because my identity is too humble to think like this. Gu Shiyu couldn't smile bitterly, the old man thought he was a suitor at first, and he was very vigilant, and he was very angry when he heard that he didn't come to propose. Could it be that Princess Saiya is your daughter, so worried about her life's events?

It seems that Princess Saiya is different from his father and is very popular.

"I don't understand why there are no young people in the village, where have they gone, and they should do the heavy work, not the old people and children. Gu Shiyu couldn't help but ask.

The old man did not answer. He just said, "If you're going to find Princess Saiya, I'd suggest you go to Tekken Castle, she should be there right now." ”

"Can you get me some wagons? Of course, I'll pay you double the price. ”

The old man was delighted by this offer, and he at once called for three carriages, although all of them had a foul fishy smell.

Gu Shiyu had nearly 400,000 gold coins, as well as Princess Saiya's principal and won a total of 400,000 bets. He divided the gold coins into three parts, his own gold coins into two parts, which were placed in different carriages, and the other carriage was for Princess Saiya.

"Everrytin, this carriage is yours. ”

Eufritin's eyes widened and said, "Oh my God, such a gift is too precious for me to accept!"

"You're going to need them urgently. I'm counting on you to stand your ground and wait for Yolande and his friends to return. ”

"I will!" Everettin nodded gratefully.

"Gabriel, will you go or not?" Lucifer cried coldly, as if angry.

"It's coming!" Gabriel and Renesa ran from the beach. Lucifer twisted his head to the side, not wanting to look at them again.

Gu Shiyu was very relieved. The three are about the same age and seem to get along well. Renesa was able to take his mind away from him, and he no longer had to feel a heavy burden in his heart.

The only thing that is a little discordant is that Lucifer gets angry when he sees Ressa and Gabriel alone.

The group drove the carriage to the main road. At sunset, the people began to set up camp. Everyfretin went into the forest to hunt, while Gu Shiyu pointed out Gabriel and Lucifer at the campfire with their swords. From time to time, Renesa also interjected a few words, as if she was their elder sister.

Gu Shiyu sat by the bonfire and looked at the three teenagers comfortably. Gabriel and Luci are very serious about learning swords, and they are also very talented, and many moves can be understood at a glance. If they are lucky enough to get the Tinder, they may grow into powerful heroes.

Late at night, when the tents were set up and ready to go to sleep, Gabriel suddenly became nervous: "Wait, something seems wrong!

Everyone was startled, and they all looked around intently.

"There's nothing wrong with that!" said Ressa, reproachfully, "What are you doing in shock? If you don't obey, I'll beat you." ”

"I didn't lie to you, you listen, it seems that there is the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and there are many of them in a hurry!"

Ressa looked at Lucifer, who nodded expressionlessly.

Is this really the case? Gu Shiyu was very skeptical. I have been honed by so many wild survivals, and my hearing and ears are so sharp that they can almost be compared to wolves, and if there is really something wrong, I should be able to feel it.

But soon after, he heard it too. Gu Shiyu was secretly surprised, the talents of these two teenagers were indeed different from ordinary people, and even he was inferior.

The crowd gathered around the carriage and drew their swords one after another.

Dozens of war horses protruded from the darkness and surrounded them. Look at the outfit, it should be the world-famous Erathia heavy cavalry. However, their capes are not embroidered with the Lion King logo.

What kind of man's army is this? Could it be a robber who robbed?

A hero rode out of the cavalry, then turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and said, "Which of you is the Chosen One from the Lost Lands?"

"I'm!, what's the matter with you?" said Gu Shiyu, holding Resa behind him. He didn't expect that he had just set foot on Erathia and someone would know about them.

Maybe the residents of the fishing village have leaked their whereabouts!

"We have no ill will. Can you put down your sword? I'd like to talk to you. My name is Sosa, and I used to be the swordsman commander of Erathia, and now I am the leader of this rebel army. ”

The crowd put away their weapons. Gu Shiyu asked, "Isn't your king Kendall?"

"Yes. Ever since the people of Erathia learned of the death of the great King Geffenhardt, the nobles and commoners of the country were divided into two factions: one in favor of the accession of Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine, who would be temporarily regent of Her Majesty the Queen until Her Royal Highness returned, and the other in favor of the accession of Kendall, Geffenhardt's own brother. Since the army was in Kendall's hands, he led the Janissaries in a coup d'état, imprisoned Her Majesty, and proclaimed himself king. ”

"Which faction were you supporting at the time?" asked Gu Shiyu.

Sosa blushed: "You have to know that from the legal point of view of Erathia, King Gefenhardt did not give birth to a prince, and Kendal, as his own brother, should be the first heir to the throne. As a general of the army, I certainly choose to support the commander-in-chief who is loyal to me and to the laws of Erathia. ”

"And what made you betray Kendall?"

"Kendall is indeed a good commander, and there is no second man in Erathia who can lead his troops into battle. But his talents were limited to military affairs, and he was terrible as a king. As soon as he came to power, he led a large army to suppress those who had opposed him, even their descendants. ”

"Erathia fought for many years, the treasury was empty, and the advisers advised him to end the war by diplomatic means, and replace cannibalism with recuperation, but he was very stubborn and stubborn, and did not listen to the opinions of others at all, but blamed the advisers for sympathizing with his political enemies, acting as lobbyists for them, treating them as traitors, and deposing many loyal ministers, and now there were only some flattering ministers left in the court, who spent their days with him and hunted everywhere, and did not care at all about the people's welfare. ”

Gu Shiyu nodded and said, "It seems that he is indeed not the material to be a king." ”

"Yes, many of those who had been loyal to him gradually left him, and the people revolted against his increasingly heavy taxes. And he did not repent and continued to maintain his brutal rule with bloody repression. You also saw it when you were in the small fishing village, where the young people of the village had joined the rebels, and there were only a few empty nesters, children and women left. ”

"Has your rebellion not shaken his rule?"

"Yes. There were many rebels all over Erathia, but now they were all fighting on their own, no one was subservient to the other, and there was a lack of a cohesive leader. If Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine returned, she would be the best candidate. ”

"I don't know if Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine is interested in this matter. Against one's own king, that is treason. ”

Sosa was anxious: "Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine must bear this burden! Can she watch her people live in misery? Yes, the people must be loyal to their king, but shouldn't the king do something for the people too? If a king only knows how to take and not reciprocate, why should the people remain loyal to such a king? Can the people only choose the fate of exploitation and oppression, but not the right to choose the king? The goal of our uprising is simple: to remove King Kendall from power. ”

"After he steps down, who are you going to lead Erathia?"

"Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine is certainly the best candidate, but she has been away from Erathia for more than a decade and needs to further increase her prestige among the people. If she can lead the people to overthrow the tyrant, she will of course be embraced by the people and become the first queen in the history of Erathia. Her Royal Highness Princess Saiya is also deeply loved by the people, and she will be a strong contender for Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine. She may admonish her father, but she will not choose to overthrow him. ”

"Truth be told, I went to Iron Fist Castle this time to meet Princess Saia, and then go back to the Lost Lands. When I get back, I will tell Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine about your proposal. ”

"If you go to Tekken Castle, you're sure to meet that tyrant. I would advise you not to say that you are a good friend of Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine, otherwise he will consider you an enemy. In fact, he was very jealous of Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine, and had always regarded her as a confidant. ”

"Oh my God, Kendall is the uncle of Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine, does he have to treat her as an enemy?" Gu Shiyu couldn't help but say.

"Yes, Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine, once she returns, will definitely threaten his throne. You have to tell Her Highness that you don't expect Kendall to give her a big welcome party, and that she will definitely have a war party. ”

Gu Shiyu nodded.

"Also, if you need any help, go to the Giant Blacksmith on King's Road Street in Tekken Castle, and they will help you unconditionally. Sosa shook Gu Shiyu's hand and said goodbye, then whistled, and the cavalry sped away, disappearing into the darkness.

Gu Shiyu felt that there was one more thing in his palm. He quietly opened it and saw that it was a black stone, crystal clear, reflecting a dazzling luster against the background of the jumping campfire.

Could it be that this is an incomparably precious black jade? Gu Shiyu didn't bother to think about it, and hid it in his arms.
