The ship has been sailing at sea for more than ten days, and every day it is watching the sunrise and sunset on the sea. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info couldn't find a reference point at the intersection of sea and sky, and always felt that the ship was stationary on the sea, unless it was looking at the layers of waves cut by the bow of the ship.

The weather was consistently sunny and the lucky ones never encountered a storm. Occasionally, you will encounter some mermaids on the way, frolicking around the boat, adding a touch of fun to the boredom. The only time he was in distress was when he encountered a kraken hovering over the reef, playing a melancholy tune on the harp and singing a mournful love song that caused some of the tempted soldiers to jump into the sea. Fortunately, the cavalry captain had seen so much that he immediately asked people to plug their ears with their clothes, so as to prevent more people from falling into the sea and dying.

A few days later, at dawn, the sailors looking out from the mast suddenly pointed ahead and shouted: "Behold, there is a continent ahead!"

Yes, a black line finally appeared at the sea-sky intercourse. After so many days at sea, this was the first time people saw land, and they all cheered with joy.

Although the land is ahead, it doesn't enter the harbor until sunset. On each side of the harbor stands a huge statue, and the ships walk at their feet like insignificant duckweed.

Such a statue, Renesas is recognized. On the left is a Titan Titan with angry eyes and a hammer of Thor, the patron saint of the Elven City, and on the right is an archangel with a sword in his hand and wings spread.

The people on the ship knelt down and paid homage to the two statues.

Gu Shiyu was also surprised inexplicably. Oh my God, it's a miracle how these two huge statues came to stand.

Anything is possible, and if we can find a proper fulcrum, we can even move the planet.

Ships of all sizes have returned at dusk, moored at the docks, and people are constantly flowing, and it seems to be extremely busy. Ruisa whispered to Gu Shiyu: "The Holy Light Island is the center of the entire world, and places such as Erathia, Dia, Eli, the Swamp Land, the Elemental Continent, and the Titan Continent are distributed around it like stars in the sky. ”

Isn't that Catherine's hometown?

Renesas continued, "In addition to being the world's center of commerce and trade, it is also rich in wealth. Many lords and kings often sought out bank loans from the Isle of Light for town construction or waging war. ”

"There is so much money on the island, aren't you afraid that others will come and beat them?"

"Who dares to beat them? Hundreds of archangels and titans are guarding them, and they will be scared to death. ”

A white-robed shaman on the dock was waving to them. The two stepped forward, and the white-robed shaman said, "Are you heroes from the Lost Lands?"

Gu Shiyu nodded, and the white-robed priest stretched out his hand and said, "Please give me your Truth Badge, and then I will take you to rest first, and invite you to the banquet in the Capitol in the evening." ”

Gu Shiyu handed over the badge and asked, "What about these people under my command?"

"You don't have to worry, naturally someone will arrange them. ”

The three of them went up to the dock and looked at the spectacle in front of them, and Renesas couldn't help but marvel!

The castle in front of you stretches as far as the eye can see, full of magnificent buildings, wide, flat streets, and fancy clothing for pedestrians.

Gu Shiyu seemed very calm. What is such a city, any city in modern society is bigger and more ornate than it. However, it is indeed remarkable that there was such a splendid civilization in the Middle Ages.

The two were taken to the State Guesthouse next to the Capitol, where they washed up and changed into the fancy clothes prepared by the servants. Gu Shiyu waited for a long time before seeing Renesas coming.

Gu Shiyu looked Renesa up and down, and said with a smile: "You are obviously a lovely lady, where is the naughty little wild cat before?"

Renesa frowned and said, "Of course you're fine, I still have to put on a corset, a corset, and I can only breathe out in small gulps." How can you walk with such a long skirt?"

Gu Shiyu bowed slightly, holding up Ressa's palm. Renesas' hands were small and cold, with lace cut-outs on the sleeves and tassels on the edges.

A splendid two-horse carriage was already waiting outside the door. The two got into the carriage and galloped towards the Capitol.

The carriage stopped in the huge square. Gu Shiyu still held Ruisa's hand and walked out of the carriage.

The Parliament building is made entirely of white marble, and you have to go up dozens of steps from the square to the building. The Temple of Light in the Lost Lands is also made of marble, which is only a small corner compared to the imposing Capitol.

The guards on the steps had solemn expressions, luxurious lineups, and almost all the equipment on their bodies were treasures. Gu Shiyu secretly admired: if these people were ordinary soldiers, it would indeed highlight the amazing wealth of the Holy Light Island, and if these people were all heroes, it would highlight the amazing power of the Holy Light Island.

Gu Shiyu was right. These guards are all proud nobles, heroes with illustrious family backgrounds. It was a lifelong honor for them and their families to be the servants of the gods on the Island of Light.

The receptionist greeted them politely, led the two into the hall, and then shouted loudly in a loud voice, "Welcome Sir Gu Shiyu and the beautiful Lady Renesas from the Lost Lands." ”

Sir Gu Shiyu was stunned, who got me such a title?

In fact, the master of ceremonies didn't know what Gu Shiyu's title was, but the people invited to the banquet were all wealthy nobles, so how could they do it without getting a title.

If Gu Shiyu knew that Sir was just a small title, he would definitely not do it. Anyway, you have to get the title of earl, marquis or duke!

The guests in the hall applauded, and some people even gathered around to greet the cold. Gu Shiyu was flattered, with a bright smile on his face, and accosted him everywhere.

He didn't know that his fame would be so big, which made him very proud. In fact, he was wrong, and it was not his name that others cared about, but the place he came from, the Lost Land.

It's been thirty years since the Lost Lands lost contact with the entire world, not to mention that among the nobles invited, many of them have their own relatives who went to the Lost Lands to cultivate, and there has been no news of them so far.

Now Gu Shiyu is surrounded by a large group of people and asks non-stop, where does poor Gu Shiyu remember the names of so many people!

Can't remember other people's names, this is Gu Shiyu's congenital defect, and sometimes it seems very embarrassing and rude. He is very self-aware, he is by no means a teacher and a politician, it is better to be an honest ordinary person.

Now Gu Shiyu had no choice but to prevaricate everyone with the same sentence: "Ah, you're talking about him? He's very good, living well in the Lost Land!"

Renesa didn't like these fake greetings and entertainment, and after a while, he couldn't find anyone.

Gu Shiyu finally got rid of everyone's questioning, and quietly hid in the corner, wiping the sweat on his forehead.

Ressa, on the other hand, trotted all the way over with her skirt on, followed by two ladies. Gu Shiyu was very worried, if Renesas accidentally stepped on the hem of his skirt, he would definitely fall and gnaw on the mud.

Oh, you little girl, can't you walk in small steps like a lady?

"This is my new friend, one is Princess Boris of the Elemental Nation and the other is Princess Sea of Erathia. ”

Boris was the first to reach out. Gu Shiyu held up the slender jade hand, put it to his mouth and kissed it lightly, and then kissed Seya's hand again.

Bhris asked, "You're from the Lost Lands, and I want to ask you, is my sister Luna okay now?"

Speaking of Luna, Gu Shiyu's heart hurts forever. His face flushed, and he said, "Her Royal Highness Princess Luna and Sariel are both in Hook Bay now, guarding the Heart of Flame, and they are my best friends. ”

In fact, Gu Shiyu was only half right, and Sariel wanted to beat him every time she saw Gu Shiyu.

"And what about my sister, I'm talking about Princess Catherine, who is my cousin. Seya asked.

Speaking of Catherine, it was Gu Shiyu's eternal longing. He immediately developed a sense of affection for Saiya, and no matter how he said it, Saiya could still be regarded as his aunt. He said happily: "She's fine, she's a recognized leader of human heroes, and no one dares to disobey her." ”

Both beauties heard the news they wanted to know most, and their hands gently patted their chests and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Renesa pursed her lips and smiled, "You may not know that Boris is your competitor, and she is also one of the candidates for the trial. ”

Is it possible that he wants to be the enemy of this beauty? Gu Shiyu touched his head, looking very embarrassed.

"Don't worry, for my sister's sake, I won't beat you too badly. Boris pursed her lips and smiled.

"I said we can't be united? Two people together have a much better chance of winning against the others. ”

Boris nodded, "That's a good idea, so it's settled." To celebrate the success of our alliance, don't you want to ask me to do a dance?"

Gu Shiyu dances a lot, but this is the first time I've seen this kind of gentlemanly court dance. He had no choice but to say, "Okay, but I'm not good at this kind of dancing." In order to show the sincerity of the alliance, I am not afraid of making a fool of myself. ”

This kind of dance is actually not difficult, look at others, and follow along, but Gu Shiyu will step on Boris a few times from time to time. Gu Shiyu's face was red to the base of his neck, and Boris, who was trampled on, had no choice but to say, "It's hot enough in the crowd, let's go drink something." ”

Gu Shiyu couldn't ask for it, so he took Boris's hand and sent her back to Gaia and Ressa. Gaia smiled slightly, "Boris, are you still standing firm now?"

Boris burst out laughing and slapped Gaia lightly, and the two women burst into laughter.

Gaia looked at Gu Shiyu's embarrassment and sighed: "In this palace, there are not many sincere people like you. Don't look at them all polite and sanctimonious, but in fact, they all wear false masks. This is a paradise for liars, a stage for hypocrites. ”

Gu Shiyu was stunned. He didn't expect Gaia to be young, but he saw through the sinister in the court.

Boris took Gaia's hand and said, "Gaia, don't go back yet, wait until I finish the trial, you know, I only have a friend like you on the Holy Light Island." ”

"Am I not?" said Renesa, tilting his head.

"Yes, and you, and him. Boris took Ressa's hand and smiled at Gu Shiyu.

"Alright then," Gaia sighed, "My father sent me to study on the Isle of Light since I was a child, and I'm so tired of this place that I don't want to stay here for a moment. ”

One of the guards stepped forward, bowed and said, "Please Miss Boris from the Elemental City and Sir Gu Shiyu from the Lost Lands come with me, the Imperial Council is about to begin." ”

"Didn't you invite me? I'm Ressa from the Lost Lands, and my father is the chief shaman of the Temple of Light. ”

"Miss Resa, I'm sorry that the ministers only said to invite the two of them. ”

Gaia took Ressa's hand and said, "Ressa, let them have a meeting, that kind of meeting is boring." I'll show you around. ”

Gu Shiyu and Boris came to the Imperial Council Hall, where five white-robed shamans and three heroes were already seated.

"Now that everyone is here, let's get started. A white-robed shaman stood up and said.

"This one is a representative from the Savage Lands, named York, Boris is from the Elemental City, Altyn is from the Swamps, Euffrey is from Erie, Gu Shiyu, where would you like to represent in the trial?"

"I speak for Erathia, Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine is a good friend of mine, and I don't think she will object. ”

The white-robed priest nodded and said, "Holy Light Island is a utopian country, we never participate in the wars and strife of the world, there are more than twenty towns around Holy Light Island, and we let the local residents manage it themselves. But we are wrong, the utopian system represents only a beautiful vision, and instead of bringing stability and prosperity to the local people, it breeds corruption and ugliness. Fortunately, we found the problem in time, and it's not too late to correct it. The bankers on the island of Light are willing to contribute to our recovery of these towns, which is why we have brought our heroes here. ”

"The Isle of Light cannot wage war for any reason, it is the will of the gods. Even if war breaks out, we cannot harm our own people, and we will use mercenaries to settle disputes. I hope that you will help us to recover these towns and unite them and return them to us in their entirety. ”

"Every week you will receive an interest-free loan of 1,000 gold coins from our banker, and the winner will be rewarded with 500,000 gold coins. Of course, the heroes don't care about this money, you are fighting for your country, and everyone values your honor more. What honor could compare to such a great honor as the Chosen One? The winner will be given the name of the Chosen One and will be favored by the gods of heaven. ”

"I know everybody wears different gear. For the sake of fairness, each player is asked to hand over their equipment after the meeting, and we will have someone to keep it. From now on, you will not be able to contact each other. The official tournament time is the day after tomorrow, and you will return to the different territories we have allocated through the dimensional gates. Do you have any questions now?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"So be it, wait until the guards will take you to hand in your equipment and take you to different rooms in the palace. In order to prevent collusion and cheating, you will be guarded by soldiers outside your gates, and no one will be allowed to go out. ”
