Chapter 4: The Star Festival
"Aunt Night, what are you looking for me?" A few days passed after the reward ended, and Bai Ye called Zi Yuan and Zuo Congrong to his mansion.
"What about Zuo Congrong, why didn't he come over?" Bai Ye asked when he saw that there was only Zi Yuan.
"I don't know, he hasn't been back to my house these days. To be honest, since the emperor gave me another marriage, he seems to have begun to avoid me, I haven't seen it a few times, and the phone doesn't work, I heard that it seems to have followed Haidongling to the imperial capital dueling arena, and if there is something wrong with Aunt Night, just tell me, and I'll inform him when the time comes. Shion replied.
"This guy, don't you even want your future daughter-in-law......
"Aunt Night......" Even if it was Ziyuan, after hearing Bai Ye's muttering, she couldn't help but be a little shy, and said angrily.
"Forget it, don't talk about him, the matter is more urgent, after the matter is explained, you must find him immediately, the special plane is ready, you must board the plane before tomorrow and go to the European camp. Bai Ye instructed.
"To the European camp?" Shion asked in surprise after a moment's pause.
"Yes, to the European camp. ”
"Got a mission?"
"Well, in fact, the European camp has been asking for help for a while, but you two haven't returned for a long time, and I can't think of anyone else to send. The European camp also urged a few days ago, but you haven't been sealed yet, and I can't send you there, so it's been delayed until now. Bai Ye said with a little headache.
"What task? Fan Shiwei, are they there, can't they solve it?"
"If it can be solved, will I need to wait for you to come back? This story has been sung in the European camp for more than a thousand years, and you have probably heard it too. From 2,500 years ago to the present, there have been nine strongest astrologers or prophets in the European camp who have prophesied, and in this era, there will be a staff-shaped ritual armed with the birth of the sacred mountain of Olympus. ”
"Well, I've heard that it seems that a few years ago, the High Priest of the Star Festival also prophesied that the Scepter was about to be born. ”
"That's it. Think about it. It was prophesied from 2,500 years ago, and now there have been nine of the greatest prophets and astrologers of the European camp who have prophesied, so those who are born will definitely be peerless gods, so ......"
"So the Faction Council has asked the Imperial Capital for help?" Shion answered.
"yes. The European camp is different from the Asian camp, the camp council, the dark council, the Holy See and the blood clan, the four sects are divided into four divisions, such a shocking divine soldier is born, naturally every family wants to take it for themselves, and in the end, it is not a big fist can be obtained. Bai Ye explained.
"What's there to fight about. The beliefs of the four forces are different, since the scepter is a ritual weapon, it is naturally a master thing, which faith it belongs to, and it would be good if the scepter belonged to which, I really can't figure out that the big forces in this camp would resort to such an ugly means, and even foreign aid was invited. Shion said disdainfully.
"The crux of the problem is here, more than 2,500 years ago. Although the nine masters have all said that a scepter was born, but no one has said what this scepter looks like or what power of faith it has. So much so that today's farce has been created. The Faction Council argued that the Scepter was the royal scepter of Queen Elizabeth I of the Empire on which the sun never set in the True Ages, the Holy See believed that the Scepter was the golden scepter of the goddess of victory in the Mythological Age, and the Dark Council believed that the Scepter was the triangular tin staff of Hekate, the goddess of night and the moon, who also belonged to the Mythological Age. Only the Blood Clan has no reason to join the competition, but the Blood Clan has more gods than other forces. Moreover, the other three families all have the right to compete, and the blood clan is naturally not willing to be left behind. In the end, it turned into a four-way scuffle. Bai Ye said with a headache.
"In this case, how can the two of us go to help, the battle between the four major forces is something that the two of us can control. Shion frowned and asked with some incomprehension.
"Of course it works. In fact, the strength of the four parties also has their own scruples, the power of the gods can almost move mountains and reclaim the sea, if several gods fight, it is very likely to affect the civilians in the camp in the end, so after the four forces discuss, each step back, the gods are not allowed to shoot, and the scepter belongs to the destiny of each An. ”
"So, let Ou Zhen's camp council let our Asian masters help? ”
"yes. However, this is not to blame the European Parliament, originally they were also openly competing with other three forces, but some time ago, other forces invited the masters of our Asian camp to come over, and as a result, the European Parliament suffered a dark loss, and they had no choice but to ask us for help. ”
"There are even faster ones. ”
"Well, as far as I know, the 'Ming King' Sakura of Longguang Temple, the iron-blooded 'Grim Reaper' Wang Dan, and the 'goblin' Soxia of the Heavenly Dao Palace have all gone to the European camp, and the 'prodigy' who just finished the mission with you and the 'Bone Spirit Girl' Wang Fengfei also went to the European camp after the canonization. If these people belong to the other three forces, the current shape of the European Parliament can be said to be the most disadvantageous. White Night replied.
"That's right. By the way, Aaron is also a man of God now, is it okay?"
"What's the problem, if you don't use the Divine Domain, it's not all the same, it's all the fluctuating aura of the extreme ability level, how can people see it, besides, Zuo Congrong is only twenty-four years old now, even if someone doubts it, I'm afraid he will deny it first. ”
However, the moment he rushed to the European camp a few days ago, and Wang Fengfei knew the details of Ah Rong very clearly. Shion said worriedly.
"It doesn't matter, those two people are from the Asian camp, and they are not working for themselves, so why bother betraying you. Moreover, didn't you also say it, Zuo Congrong seems to be avoiding you these days, take this opportunity, you can also communicate well, you two are really, it was not easy to recognize each other, but it turned out to be a game of hide and seek......" Bai Ye shook his head and muttered incomprehensibly.
"Aunt Night......
"Okay, let's not talk about that. You hurry up and find Zuo Congrong, and rush to the European camp as soon as possible, the parliaments of the two camps have always had good relations, and now they have been neglecting for a few days, and they must not delay any longer. Bai Ye instructed.
"Hmm!"
□□□
"Aster...... Sister, is this the place?" After arriving at the European camp, Zuo Congrong, who got off the plane, looked left and right for a while before asking Ziyuan in a very awkward way.
Zuo Congrong has been a little unable to wipe off his face since he confirmed each other's identities in the Central Chamber, on the one hand, Ziyuan is the student president he respects and fears, and on the other hand, he is his fiancée who has been engaged to him for life, Rao is his heart. It's a little hard to get along with these things for a while.
"Yes, it's there. ”
"It doesn't feel any different from the Asian camp, it seems to be the same. ”
"This is the airport, the airport is built in the suburbs of the city, some distance from the city, of course, there is no difference, and so someone took us to the city, you can see that the style of European architecture is still very different from our side. Shion replied.
"May I ask if it's Your Excellency Fran Ziyuan and Your Excellency Zuo Congrong?" As soon as the two had just finished talking, a middle-aged woman with gray hair appeared in front of them. Asked in fluent English.
"Yes, who are you?"
"I am the Star Priest, and the king ordered me to come here to pick you up, and by the way, I will be responsible for your daily life in the future. Star Priest replied.
"Lord Star Festival, I didn't expect the High Priest to come in person, it's disrespectful. ”
"That...... , what are you two talking about?" Zuo Congrong was in a cold sweat on the side, looking at the two of them who looked like they were talking about the Book of Heaven, and asked weakly. Zuo Congrong had run away from home since he was eleven years old, and he did not enter the world again at the age of twenty-four. Where will I have time to learn English, for the conversation between the two like a book in the sky, I naturally listen to the clouds and don't know what to do.
"Hehehehehe. I'm sorry, but I didn't expect His Excellency Zuo Congrong to not understand English, it was my gaffe, and the two of us just confirmed our identities. Nothing was discussed. Well, this is not the place to talk, please come with me. After hearing Zuo Congrong's question, the star priest heard. Only then did he realize that there was a person here who didn't speak English, so he immediately changed to fluent Mandarin and explained to Zuo Congrong.
......
"Lord Star Festival, may I ask how the shape of the camp is now?" The airport is still some distance away from the city, and the European imperial capital is not much different from the Asian imperial capital, and there are also about 50 million people in a big city, even if you drive, it will still take a lot of time to get back to the Star Festival Mansion, taking advantage of this boring time, Zi Yuan asked.
"The shape shì is not very optimistic. Since the appearance of last year's prophecy astrology, the four major forces have signed a document that gods and men are not allowed to intervene, and originally the four major forces at the foot of Mount Olympus have occupied a place, and the well water does not interfere with the river water, but a few days ago, several powerful extreme abilities suddenly appeared. First of all, the Holy See, suddenly expanded its territory, and under the leadership of a master who suddenly appeared, the easiest road to the top of the mountain was occupied, and later Tongguò inquired only to know that the Holy See invited the 'Ming King' Sakura of the Longguang Temple in the Asian camp, and then the minds of all the forces were activated, and the Blood Clan also invited the 'Grim Reaper' Wang Dan of the Iron Blood Mercenary Group, and the Dark Council invited the two 'fairy princesses' Sophia and Sophia of the Heavenly Dao Palace. Now that you two are here, our faction council will be much more relieved. Alas, it is really the young people of Europe who are overwhelmed by the heavy responsibility, and I don't know how much worse the quality is than the Asian camp, otherwise the European camp would not have to come to help with the family affairs, I am really ashamed to mention it. Star Priest said with some shame.
"Then what's the situation on Mount Olympus now?" After listening to the explanation of the Star Sacrifice, Zuo Congrong couldn't wait to ask.
"There is no problem for the time being, the situation on the holy mountain is still very stable, there are no fluctuations and turbulence, although it has lost its advantageous position, but it has no impact on the observation of the situation, as long as there is no movement on the holy mountain, it is impossible for other forces to make any big moves, at most it is only a small range of friction, no one side is a fool, they will be very shrewd to preserve their strength, and only when the scepter is born, will they make a big move." When the time comes, not to mention the masters of your Asian camp who come to help, I'm afraid that the gods will not be able to help tearing up the agreement and snatching it. Star Priest sneered and said sarcastically.
"Then before the Scepter was born, didn't we have nothing to do?" Zuo Congrong asked with some trouble. Naturally, the European camp came to help the European Parliament, and listening to the meaning of the Star Festival, it seems that the two of them have nothing to do here.
"That's not it, now the other three forces have found strong foreign aid, so that our European orthodox camp parliament has become the weakest party, so ......"
"So you need us to sell and help you get the land back?" Zuo Congrong said.
"Aaron, be honest, don't be so rude. Shion stopped a little unbearably.
"It's okay, it's good for young people to be straightforward. It's you, so old and dignified, I feel a little distressed to see it, if I'm not mistaken, you should only be thirty-one years old this year, right?" Star Priest asked, turning his head to Shion.
"Huh? Ziyuan was stunned for a moment, and replied in a little panic.
"Be more cheerful, it's not easy to be young, at my age, even if you want to be lively, your identity and age can't tolerate you. Star Priest advised.
"It's not enough to grab the territory, it can be said that it is meaningless to occupy a favorable position, and if the scepter is born, even the most unfavorable position for observation will be clearly sensed. When it's time to snatch the scepter, I'm afraid there are only masters with real abilities. For masters, the so-called mountaineering is meaningless, there are only more than 2,900 meters of peaks in total, even if the martial artist who can't fly, relying on the ability output, can be forcibly climbed. The mission of the two of you is to save face for the Faction Council, which has been unfavorable for months, and the people sent by the Council to observe it are afraid that the fire that is holding back alone will be about to ignite the Holy Mountain. ”
"That's right, okay, will you go tomorrow?" asked Zuo Congrong briskly.
"No, you are also running all the way, it is better to rest for a few days before going to the holy mountain, I can also treat you, the king has already told me, I can't neglect you." ”
"Let's go, the reputation of Mount Olympus in the European camp is outside, I also want to see what the legendary holy mountain looks like, and by the way, I also feel the terrain of the holy mountain and the distribution of several forces, and analyze the situation. When I came, our dean also instructed us to do our best to do whatever we wanted. Aster replied categorically.
"Okay, have a good night's rest in my house today, and tomorrow I will personally take you to the Holy Mountain for a walk, if you have any questions and things that need to be consulted, just look for me, if there is anything that is not well taken care of, please forgive me." Star Sai said politely. (To be continued......)
