Chapter 16: The Great Fool
A few minutes ago, Callista's suite.
Callista was so melancholy that she couldn't sleep on the round bed that had sunk to the ground.
After leaving Kamavia and sailing in the endless Eternal Sea for almost two months, he finally found the legendary island of Fuguang under the guidance of Soraka, the son of the stars.
The city is beautiful, and the mere opulence is not enough to describe all that Halia has to offer, it is far richer than the capital of Camavia, Alovedra, and every building is comparable to the royal palace of the Hagayari royal family.
However, such a utopia, which has been admired by countless songs and legends, and which every sailor yearns for, seems to Callista to be devoid of fireworks, empty and cold, as if it were a false prosperity in a mask, hiding all truth under a curtain of layers.
The Cult of the Light and the Academic Sect have a monopoly on resources, and the power of the Shining Light Tower Council is far beyond all else.
Even though some people were in danger, the cold rulers demanded that Callista wait for the next day of parliament......
Of course, this was Callista's first impression of Helia during her afternoon trip.
Is the queen well?
The fear in her heart made Callista's mood even worse, and all kinds of bad fantasies kept flooding her mind.
Insomnia is getting worse.
Callista sighed, sat up cross-legged, stepped barefoot on the steps to pick up her beloved spear against the wall and the towel on the table, and then sat down in her chair to gently wipe the dark red marks that could not be washed off.
"Fuguang Island has been found, but does the water of life really exist?" She muttered, "Both Tyrus and Rhys say it's just a legend......"
The turmoil in her heart prevented Callista from concentrating on wiping her weapon.
Putting down her spear, Callista was about to head out onto the bedroom patio to get some fresh air, but movement outside the suite caught her attention.
"In the middle of the night, how could anyone come to visit me?"
Callista raised her eyebrows and thought for a moment, her spear clenched in both hands, and then she quietly walked out of the bedroom, her sturdy eyes staring at the door full of wariness.
Not long after, as there were three unhurried knocks on the door, Calista set up her spear in front of her, and put on a posture of both offense and defense, and did not answer for the time being.
There were three more knocks on the door, and Calista moved closer to the door and asked, "Who is it?" โ
To Callista's surprise, she didn't understand Fukumitsu Island, but the other party spoke the Kamavia language fluently: "I'm Tyrus's eldest apprentice, Josh Russell. โ
Tyrus still has an apprentice?
Since she and Tyrus had only had a brief encounter with Fuguang Island in the afternoon, Callista didn't know much about the Fuguang Island explorer.
After much thought, Callista opened the door.
A cool breeze blows, and the magical light source in the hallway meets the light in the living room, and Josh and Ahri meet Callista's eyes.
She first looked at Ahri, who was more eye-catching and outstanding.
Ahri was not only very different from the Vastaya she had seen, but more human, and she had never seen such a beautiful girl in Kamavia, and she felt ashamed of herself.
Then, Callista's gaze fixed on the tall and thin young man in front of her, who was actually covered by his strong muscles and slightly messy black hair.
As Callista observes Josh and Ahri, they also look at the apparently exotic woman.
Perhaps it was because she was not comfortable in an unfamiliar environment, and even when she slept at night, Callista still did not take off her older close-fitting leather armor.
She has a beautiful countenance, resolute eyes, a tall and sturdy figure, her black hair that is casually draped up to her waist, and her exposed skin is a healthy wheat color.
There are a lot of superficial scars on the not delicate skin that have long healed, but it does not affect Callista's overall chic beauty, and her image is completely different from the identity of ordinary royal princesses.
[Ah...... Kamavians, I remember that during the time when our Dark Descendants were fighting each other, a kingdom from the outer continent offered to give my fellow fools his youngest son as a hostage. ใ
[If I'm not mistaken, it should also be the Kingdom of Kamavia.] ใ
Lunicia sneered in a low voice, [Yes, yes, the kingdom that has been maintained for hundreds of years still has descendants, which is a fraction of the Eccia established by those long-lived sand trolls. ใ
As Runicia spoke, Ahri's eyes blinked lightly, and she quickly looked away at Josh, who didn't speak Camavian and didn't speak, not to mention that tonight was Josh's home field.
Callista's vigilance never subsided, and she hid behind the door, a little sweat on the palm of her right hand that clutched the spear, "What are you doing?" โ
Josh was the first to apologize, saying in Camavia, "It's a pleasure to visit in the middle of the night, Callista, the general of Kamavia. โ
"It's okay, I haven't slept anyway." Callista paused, "Is there a response from the council?" โ
"I'm not here for that, General." Josh quickly got into the groove and smiled politely, "Why don't you invite me in and sit down?" โ
Callista frowned, "It's getting dark at night, I don't think that's appropriate, right?" โ
She had noticed the side of the door lying on the ground, like a maid in a coma, and was even more suspicious of Josh and Ahri's intentions.
"Hmm...... With that being the case, let's get straight to the point. Josh's face was straight, and his gaze remained in tune with Callista's, "I don't know what the elders and masters will say to you when you go to the council tomorrow, what I want to tell you is, don't think about the water of life." โ
Upon hearing this, Callista's face sank, and she said in an unkind tone, "You are a lobbyist sent by the council?" โ
Josh shook his head, "No, what I'm trying to say is that the water of life does exist, but it's too late for you. โ
"I didn't expect that Tyrus would be mild-mannered, but his apprentices would be such rude people."
Callista's sarcastic words made Josh stunned slightly.
Josh had just said that the queen was dead, and she naturally felt unhappy.
"I don't know how my junior brother Ruiz offended you, but his actions have nothing to do with me."
Josh took a deep breath and continued, "It might have been a bit of a turnaround if you had brought Isolde directly to Fuguang Island, but it's a pity you didn't......
"Isurd is dead, Callista, and the water of life does not bring the dead back to life, but instead brings a curse."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Callista scolded, "You're just a magic apprentice, what qualifications do you have to know about the eaux-de-vie?" โ
This was said to Callista as early as the afternoon when he had made a bad remark against King Foyego, before he had offended King Foyego.
"If you don't pray for the queen's well-being, forget it, if you have another disrespectful word to the queen, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless!"
Ahri watched the expressions of the two nervously, although she didn't know what they were saying, but she could really feel the tense atmosphere at the moment.
However, Josh wasn't nervous about Callista's threat, "Letroth should have warned you to be wary of Hecarim, right?" โ
"Huh?!"
Callista's heart pounded, and she almost blurted out "How do you know?"
Observing a slight change in her face, the smile on Josh's face became more confident.
Hecarim is the leader of the Iron Order, the most powerful order of knights in Kamavia, a despicable and treacherous villain who will do anything to kill and plunder.
Ledros, on the other hand, was King Foyego's royal bodyguard and had a crush on Callista for many years.
In fact, Josh didn't know if Ledros had warned Callista to be careful of Hecarim, this was just a conclusion he guessed on his own based on the logic of reality, and it was a small gamble that didn't have much impact on the conversation.
If you guess wrong, start from the other side and regain the initiative in the dialogue.
If he guesses correctly, then the initiative of the conversation is completely in Josh's hands.
"Hmph, you still know about Grandmaster Hecarim and Rydroth?" Callista deliberately uses rhetorical questions to hide her uneasiness about being seen through.
"I know more than you think, Callista...... Like, your future. โ
Josh sold it and smiled indifferently: "Don't you invite me in and sit?" โ
