Chapter 19: The Way Home (1)
The competition on Shengguang Island is finally over, and Gu Shiyu, as the champion and chosen one of the competition, has finally won people's affirmation and respect. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
But a lot of things don't end there. The huge compensation of more than 30 million gold coins, which was an astronomical amount, caused many bankers to go bankrupt. Many bankers were ready to flee after the contest and were all arrested by Eric without exception.
The Capitol was held for several days in a row. There's so much to celebrate. The first is that Shengguang Island has successfully recovered the management rights of more than 20 utopian anarchist autonomous towns around it at the lowest cost; The competition of a lifetime, the three competitions that produced the much-anticipated Chosen One, because almost no one knew that there was more than one God-determined Chosen One, and the fourth was that the Imperial Council effectively dealt a blow to the bankers who secretly controlled the political situation, so that a large number of people fell and a large number of new people were brought to power. Of course, this group is almost all Eric allies and newly fostered cronies.
"Your Excellency the High Priest, this is the list of bankers who have not yet paid the amount of compensation, they are bankrupt. ”
"Hmm," Eric said, taking the list, looking at it briefly, "maybe they transferred the property." Give me a torture interrogation, and you must ask for it. ”
"Yes!" the gray-robed shaman turned to leave, but was stopped by Eric.
"Confiscate their jewellery mansions, estates and territories for public auction. ”
"What about the arena? The arena is over, do we need to close it again?"
"No! the bankers have made a lot of money by holding the athletics, and we have nationalized him and put the arena to work for us. It seems that holding a competition is a good way to unite people's hearts!"
The auction was very lively. Gu Shiyu also came with Ressa, and now he has been rewarded with 500,000 gold coins for the champion of the siege tournament, and the 300,000 gold coins won by Princess Saiya are also temporarily kept by him. He didn't want to be a camel and carry so many gold coins around.
Maybe it's time for the banks on the island of Holy Light to be reformed. Why don't you get some banknotes, they're much lighter to carry.
To Gu Shiyu's surprise, there were still many heroic treasures collected by bankers at the auction site. He buys Renesa a brand new outfit, much to Renesas' delight.
He also had his eye on the remnants of a statue of a god. I heard that those things are called Heaven-Given Divine Feet, Heaven-Given Divine Arms, and Heaven-Given Divine Bodies, but they still lack the Heaven-Given Divine Head and Heaven-Given Divine Crotch. Ressa said that if he got it together, he would get the magical treasure of the Heavenly Divine Weapon.
He's about to go back to the Lost Lands, and he'll need to bring something to his friends. Princess Catherine, Yoland, Eledred, Roland, Adra, Cuthbert, Christine, Hart, Tarys, Murak, Mellind, Steig, ......
Yes, and Princess Luna and Sariel, Gu Shiyu is almost uncountable.
Stuff bought a whole bunch. No one competed with Gu Shiyu, and everyone gave it to him with respect. Ressa said that he would not help carry anything, saying that there was no noble lady who could be a mule and horse? Gu Shiyu had no choice but to consider himself unlucky, carrying a large package on his back, much taller than the hump of a camel.
Renesa looked at Gu Shiyu and couldn't stop laughing. Gu Shiyu knew that she had bad intentions, and she must be laughing at herself like a camel, so she didn't bother to pay attention to her.
From time to time, you can see some well-dressed and obese people squatting on the ground, begging from passers-by.
"These are the bankrupt bankers, right?" said Ressa, taking Gu Shiyu's arm.
This may be a lesson they deserve, but we should not despise the poor, and anyone who is deprived of status and wealth is the same, and no one can guarantee that he will be proud for the rest of his life. ”
"You're right. Renesa began to pick it up in Gu Shiyu's arms.
"What are you doing?
"you! Who wants to ...... Insulting you!" Resa blushed, "I want to give them a few gold coins." I almost became a beggar after I left you on the docks, and I know what that taste is. ”
"You deserve it! Who told you not to bring money, you don't have nothing!"
"Hee-hee...... Miss Ben doesn't bring money, only money, so you'll have to pay for it obediently after me. You won't watch me being chased and scolded by my bosses. ”
...... Gu Shiyu looked at Resa and ran over, giving each of the beggars begging along the street a piece of gold coin, including the newly joined army of beggars.
"Renesa, I'm going back to the Lost Lands...... You know, Princess Catherine is waiting for me, she has done so much for me, I can't make her wait any longer. ”
"I know......" Renesa hung her head, silent. Gu Shiyu felt a sudden chill on the back of his hand, and it turned out to be a teardrop on the back of his hand.
"Renesas ......"
"I ...... I don't have anything. Ressa wiped her tears and said, "I'm just a little sad......," she suddenly raised her head, with tears on her face: "I'll follow you back to the Lost Lands, so that I can spend more time with you, because, because ...... You won't be with me again!"
Renesa covered her mouth and ran away.
Gu Shiyu felt bitter in his heart. He knew what Ressa meant to him, and what he had just said to her meant something else. He really wanted her to understand and not sink too deep.
But she is a very strong little girl in her heart, and from what she said just now, Gu Shiyu knows that she actually understands it very well in her heart.
He had already hurt Catherine, Princess Luna, and now he may have hurt Ressa. He didn't dare to think about Princess Luna at all now, alas, he hoped that she was Princess Luna like a fake, and not the red leaves that jumped into the abyss with him, otherwise his sin would be too great.
Eric was waiting for him at the Capitol. Seeing Gu Shiyu coming, he greeted him with a smile on his face, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Divine Chosen One, it seems that you have gained a lot these days. ”
Gu Shiyu said embarrassedly: "Your Excellency the Honorable High Priest, without your help, it would be impossible for me to have such an honor. ”
Eric said, "Now I need your help, can you promise to help me?"
Gu Shiyu nodded and said, "Tell me, what do you need me to help you do?"
"The Isle of Light lacks a generalissimo to lead the army. I hope you can help me maintain the stability of the Isle of Light and the world. ”
"It is a great pleasure for me to help you, but I must go to the Lost Lands and marry Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine at once. ”
“...... It seems that this matter is also very important. But I want you to be hired right away, because this position is in dire need of people and will not be vacant. You know the current situation on the Holy Light Island, the bankers will definitely not be willing to be defeated, they will launch a bigger conspiracy. If you can be elected generalissimo, under your prestige, many people will not dare to act rashly, and you may be able to avoid violent bloodshed. ”
"But...... Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine's affairs cannot be delayed. York's strength is not below me, have you considered him?"
Eric wanted to curse in his heart. You kid is simply a thin mud that can't support the wall, others will choose to love the country, with the country, you will have any woman you want;
Phew, you have no ambitions, you're only a mediocre one! I really don't understand how the gods fancy you fool!
"Well, since you insist on going back to the Lost Land first, I won't force you. I hope you come back to the Holy Light Island after you have done your own business. ”
"I will. ”
In the evening, Gu Shiyu had a small party. With the exception of Boris, York, Altyn, Eufritin, and Renesa, only members of the Council and the Prophet were invited. However, the members of the Imperial Council said that they were busy and did not attend.
Maybe Eric is angry with the rain when he is angry, maybe they have something very important. These days, there are indeed too many people who want to get a seat in Congress for their activities. Of course, this is a good thing, and there are a lot of behind-the-scenes deals that can be made in secret.
The prophet was present as promised. He doesn't like to be busy, and usually only guards the lonely lamp of the temple, but he likes these children very much, and when he hears that they are leaving, he is a little reluctant.
Ressa was very well-behaved, and when he saw that the Prophet could not see, he sat down next to the Prophet and brought him some food from time to time.
"I won't stay on the Isle of Light, though Eric has kept me. York nodded, "I must go back to the wilderness, avenge my father, and take back everything that belongs to me." ”
"I'll go back too, go to Kalava to find Jenny, and there will only be a little place left for the dwarven kingdom of Eli. Everyfreting said.
Gu Shiyu said: "After I returned to the Lost Land, I immediately found a way to open the portal. There are nearly forty heroes and more than two thousand soldiers in Yolander and Madsword, and they will come to your aid. ”
"It seems that the swamp land is quite peaceful. Maybe nobody likes it there!" Altyn laughed at himself, "After all, it's full of swamps, mosquitoes, poisonous snakes, and miasma." I will bring troops to the Lost Lands to meet my wife who has not yet passed the door. ”
"Who?" Gu Shiyu couldn't help but ask. The heroines of the Lost Lands, he knows almost everything.
"You know, she's McLind. Alkin scratched his head.
"Congratulations! I'll give you a pick-up at my castle, just outside the town of Baulston. ”
"Boris, do you have any plans?" asked Gu Shiyu.
"I heard that Moriel in the dungeon has used tens of thousands of cave people to open the tunnels and has begun to invade the Elemental Country. I'll have to go back to the fight, but first I'll have to find a way to rescue Princess Saiya. ”
Gu Shiyu nodded and said, "I'm also worried. Let's go to find her!"
The Prophet suddenly spoke, "Princess Saiya is out of danger, you don't have to worry. ”
"Really?" everyone cheered.
"As soon as King Kendall of Erathya led his army into Dia, Sandru presented Princess Saiya. Hearing that Princess Sea was kidnapped by Wilma, the dark lord of Dia, Sandru has eliminated Wilma, occupied all his castles, and found Princess Sea in the dungeon. So King Kendall signed a non-aggression pact with Sandru and returned to Erathia with Princess Saiya and the army. ”
"It's good now!" Gu Shiyu and Boris celebrated.
"Then I'll go back to the Elemental Country, where I am needed right now!" Boris said.
Gu Shiyu said: "Before I go back, I will go to visit Princess Saiya first, she still has 300,000 gold coins with me." ”
"Please bring me a greeting for her, and say I miss her very much......" Boris said.
"Yes. ”
"Kids, it looks like we're going to go our separate ways after this dinner. The Prophet sighed, "We thought that the portal to the Lost Lands would not be opened, and that the world would remain at peace for a while. But we are wrong, good and evil are never opposed, there is no peace, no compromise, only war. Even without opening the portal, they used volcanic eruptions or digging underground passages to provoke war. When the portal is opened, it will be easier for the Underground Legion to invade, and the world will be more chaotic. Children, you are all heroes of each continent, and I hope you can stick together and not fight on your own. The damage power of five fingers is far less than that of a clenched fist. ”
"Will the Titans take part in the war against the Underground Legions? They are the most powerful race in the world. ”
The Prophet sighed: "Let's fight for it! This proud people cares little about the things of the world." ”
"As a representative of the elves, I will participate in the battle against the dark forces. Renesa interjected suddenly.
Everyone laughed.
The Prophet smiled as well, and he touched Ressa's head and said, "By the way, we forgot about the lovely and powerful Miss Ressa. Your father, Somla, has a relationship with me, and he is also a very powerful hero, and his abilities are not even below Eric's. And Tanan, exiled in the Lost Lands, who may be the strongest of your young generation of heroes. Both of them have great prestige in the Titan continent and have a large following. Gu Shiyu, you must find a way to win these two people. ”
"Yes!" Gu Shiyu stretched out his hand and said, "If there is a need, I will fight for each and every one of you." ”
"We'll be the same!" everyone put their hands on each other.
The Prophet was also satisfied. He also took his dry hand and said, "I'm too old to wield a sword like you do on the battlefield, but if you have any questions, you might as well come to me, and I'll be happy to help you." ”
"Looks like I'm late and almost missed your alliance. "A white-robed man hurried from the garden path, and it was none other than Eric, the chief priest of the Holy Light Island.
"You didn't come late, you came at the right time!" Gu Shiyu hurriedly greeted him.
"Alas, I've always been entangled in a lot of things, but I'm going to come to such a party, otherwise I won't forgive myself. ”
"You're so polite. Gu Shiyu poured Eric a glass of wine.
"How are things going?" the Prophet asked.
"The bankers are cunning, and they protect their board members by putting out a couple of shabby banker representatives who admit that they did all the conspiracy. ”
"That's not great. ”
"yes, it looks like the fight has to go on. Eric raised his glass and said, "Don't talk about this, let me practice it for everyone, please remember that after the war begins, the Holy Light Island will be your strong backing!"
