Chapter 19: Josh: I'm Honest and Honest (Ask for Follow~)
"In the name of the King of Kamavia, the man of the soul of Muqing, and the Foyego Santiarul Morah of Carla Hegayari, I have come to your city to give you all hope."
……
"Kamavia, the council does not accept any form of bribery or threats!"
……
"The council has been informed of your request, and we will adjourn the meeting for the time being, and we will discuss it carefully."
……
"After we make a decision, we will summon ourselves."
……
I still remember the scene of the conversation with the master and the elders in the council hall of the Shining Tower in the early morning.
After talking to Josh, Callista felt exhausted after a night of tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
Even if she pleaded with all sincerity, with the life of a dying man, the council would still have to take the time to argue whether such an approach was appropriate.
Obviously having the ability to save lives and help the wounded doesn't need to be considered!
What's more, he has already made a promise to form an alliance, and he can choose the magical artifacts in the Kamaviaya treasury and the books stored in the library at will.
However, all of these were rejected by them "with righteous words".
After hours of wandering aimlessly, Callista finally sat down on a marble bench in the square, looking at the hurried scholars and sighing slowly.
She wanted to wander around the city, but everywhere she went, the guards would stop her.
The great Helia couldn't go anywhere but her own dwelling.
Camavia's palace bureaucratic struggle was exhausting, but Calista didn't expect that Fukukojima's monopoly on power was even more serious.
The city was not at all as perfect as it appeared to be, nor was it as enlightened as Tyrus described.
The rulers of the Shining Light Tower hated outsiders entering Fuguang Island, and wanted the island to be hidden forever in myths and legends and layers of white mist.
Although Tyrus came to comfort him in the morning, he persuaded the Kamavians on the grounds that they were tyrannical and perverse.
Even though he admitted that the Shining Tower's sometimes practices were undesirable, Tyrus's reassurance didn't do much to Callista.
The time to return has to be delayed, and judging by the state of the queen when she went to sea, her time to hold on is running out.
Away from the city, Callista looked into the distance, not the horizon where the Eternal Sea meets the sky, but the thick fog that resembles a fortress.
Josh Russell, he said I would bring back the news of the eaux-de-vie, but I found the legendary Fuguang Island, will the masters really let me go?
Just as Callista was immersed in her own thoughts, a familiar figure approached her.
Callista didn't notice the comer until he spoke, "The council has let you down, hasn't it?" ”
"Russell?"
Callista turned her head in surprise to see Josh wearing colorful and gorgeously colored clothes inside, but everything was hidden by the outer gray robes.
He wears a gray hood with a robe attached, and his angular face is hidden in the shadows.
"Just call me Josh."
Josh sat down beside Callista with a nonchalant smile on his face.
But for some reason, Callista always had the illusion that he was hiding from something.
On the eve of dawn, Josh and Ahri parted ways and returned to their mansion alone in the early morning.
Quickly washing away the tiredness and sweat-soaked filth of a hurried trip, Josh doesn't have time to brush up on his magic and spends his time discussing the "Chosen One" with Runitia.
It wasn't until the servants came to clean the house and bring the food for the day that Josh chattered about where he had lived in the city, and then told them to bring him some books about Vasaya and Vasani to-morrow.
When they left, Josh simply cushioned his stomach, and then immediately put on the gray robe he had worn after crossing over his clothes, and turned back to Helia.
Thanks to the elders and masters of the Shining Light Tower, who live a pampered life all year round, they turn a blind eye to the potential "crisis" in front of them.
Not only did they not arrange for someone to spy on Josh, but they didn't even communicate the information about Josh and the Darkspawn weapons to the guards in the city.
Since Fuguang Island is surrounded by holy clouds, there is no magical "road stone" carried by explorers to break through the fog, and outsiders will not be able to set foot in this paradise on their own.
The guards in the city were basically set up to prevent civilians or some unqualified scholars from entering important places, and there was no such thing as anyone who was suspicious of their behavior and came forward to interrogate and arrest them.
In addition, Ahri didn't find any trace of the two golems in the forest last night.
Since last night's trip was uneventful, it was enough to show that they were not aimed at Josh, and a heavy stone suspended in his heart finally landed.
With no map at hand, Josh avoids the Shining Tower in order to familiarize himself with the city's topography and wanders around the city openly, while appreciating the almost cold customs between the people of Helia.
After finding his former residence, Josh tried not to alarm the servants or Tyrus who might know him, and wandered around the perimeter of the building, trying to meet up with Ruize, who had left the house at an unknown time.
Callista's problem is solved, and the next thing is the traitor of Fuguang Island, Hammerstone.
However, it was past noon, and Josh did not wait for his rude and reckless little brother, but ran into Callista, who was alone in the square, looking full of loss.
As soon as she saw Josh, Callista's mind flashed back to the picture of last night's conversation, and her already bad mood became even heavier, and she frowned unkindly and asked, "What do you want to do?" Come and see me for a joke? ”
Josh kept a polite smile without losing his grace, "No, I just happened to meet you." ”
Callista turned her face squarely at Josh, who was a man away from her, trying to see something on his face.
It's a pity, just like Lunicia commented that she couldn't see through Josh.
Except for the occasional stunned moment, Callista couldn't read what was going on in his mind through his expressions.
[I don't understand, why do you do so absolutely calm? 】
Josh replied on a spiritual level, "Didn't we discuss this topic this morning?" ”
[You've been dodging my question this morning - damn it, you stinky boy shielding me again!] 】
Ignoring Lunixia's shouts, Josh and Callista looked at each other and randomly found a topic: "On this voyage, you should respond to Lydros's intention to you, otherwise you will ......"
Before Josh could finish speaking, Callista's face changed slightly, and she hurriedly interrupted, "Please be careful! My fiancé is Lord Hecarim, Letroth...... He was only my most trusted lieutenant, and he had been appointed by the king as a royal guard before I set out to sea in search of Fuguang Island, and he would no longer serve me. ”
Even so, the cold sweat oozing from Callista's forehead and her pounding heart showed that she was not in a calm mood at the moment.
Hell, why does this guy even know why Letroth secretly came to my room to express his love!
Although yesterday she was still complaining about Soraka's "Riddler" behavior, now, Callista hates the feeling that everything she wants to hide has nowhere to hide.
"Fiancé...... Is it Hecarim? ”
Josh was stunned, staring at Callista's face for a moment, and then suddenly.
In order to consolidate the royal power of Foyego, the royal princess and the kingdom commander of the army, the marriage of the most powerful is indeed the best choice.
After sorting out his thoughts a little, Josh continued to maintain his character as the "chosen one", and said bluntly: "Are you so willing to sacrifice yourself? You know, Hecarim's means of becoming the leader of the Iron Order are not honorable, and his ambitions are far from that. ”
Calista pursed her lips in silence, not answering.
That night, Lestrus had brought up the subject, but she hadn't cared about it at the time.
I know Ledroth, he's my subordinate, he can't possibly know Josh, and he's loyal to the royal family of Hegayari.
It seems that Hekarim does have a problem......
Callista took a deep breath, conflicted.
She was eager to continue asking Josh about Kamavia, but she hated talking to him, and the feeling of being seen through everything was really uncomfortable.
"Sorry, I'm tired." After much thought, Callista dropped a word out of courtesy and got up to leave.
Josh didn't stop Callista from leaving, and he wasn't targeting her today.
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that two scholars a dozen paces away were pointing at this side without any scruples, as if they were discussing the princess of Kamavia, and as if they had identified Josh's identity.
Subconsciously pulled down the edge of the gray hood, and just as Josh was going to be conservative and go back to his mansion to avoid the limelight, a petite, dark-skinned woman hurried past him.
A few paces away, she suddenly turned backwards, bent over in front of Josh, tilted her head to take a quick look at his face.
"Huh? Wait-you're?! ”
Josh, who was really recognized, looked up sharply, but the first thing that surprised him was the woman's dress.
"I'm blanching, bright baked cakes?!"
