Chapter 1475 A Small Gift (Yesterday Cooled Today Today Heated)
It was dark.
However, the face of the woman standing in front of the window was even more gloomy than the night.
"That's right... such a thing happened..."
"Yes."
Hearing the woman's emotion, a dark figure outside the window replied in a low voice.
"Now the domestic situation has begun to become very unstable. If something happens in the next third wave, the situation will become even more critical..."
"........."
Hearing this, the woman's expression became more serious.
This woman is none other than the real ruler of Meg Marlowe, Her Majesty Queen Mirelia.
In fact, after the first wave, in order to persuade countries to cooperate, Queen Mirelia personally went to various countries. However, in the process, something unexpected happened to her.
That was her husband, King Meg-Marlow the Thirty-Second actually summoned the Four Saints!
As I said before, in the past, according to the tradition, each country summoned a brave man to fight. But this time, Meg-Marlow actually summoned all the four holy warriors in one breath, causing an uproar immediately. All countries have expressed strong resentment and anger towards this.
In order to appease these countries, Mirelia, as the queen, had to deal with the countries. Otherwise, the countries might directly launch a war against Meg-Marlow because of this.
Although Mirelia hoped that the kingdom would remain stable, what happened next brought the situation to a sudden turn for the worse.
First of all, the Shield Hero, one of the Four Holy Heroes, was accused of attempting to rape a woman by Meg-Marlow 32nd, and then the Shield Hero completely turned against the 32nd King on the spot. This news shocked the Queen. But fortunately, she was relieved to get through the next second wave safely.
However... Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long.
On the night when the wave ended, one of the Four Saints, the Bow Hero, challenged the Shield Hero, and was killed on the spot by the opponent, shocking the entire continent. However, this is not over yet, and before the countries have recovered, on the second day, Meg-Marlow XXXII led an army to try to arrest the shield hero in the name of killing the bow hero, but was arrested by the shield hero. The brave retorts that the other party summoned a fake Four Saints Brave, intending to occupy the Four Saints weapons!
Not only that, but beside the shield hero, a brand new bow hero appeared!
And after that, the Bow Hero who had just been summoned defeated the Sword Hero with ease...
This series of information volumes has made it a bit unacceptable for all countries.
However, for Queen Mirelia, the situation has also developed to the worst degree.
According to the report of her "Shadow" troops, the country has been completely divided into two factions at this moment. Most of the people and some soldiers agree with the words of the shield hero. After all, the performance of the previous three heroes in front of everyone is indeed unsatisfactory. The so-called no comparison, there is no gap, people may not have thought it before, but after seeing the power displayed by the shield hero and the second summoned bow hero, they are not sure if the three saints are really fakes Also have doubts.
On the other hand, the king, the Sanyongjiao, and some noble ministers insisted that the shield hero is a demon, and the summoned bow hero is also the devil's entourage. The reason why they are powerful is because they use the evil demon power. . The king even said bluntly that he would never forgive the shield demon for killing the three holy heroes!
The hero of the shield also put aside his words in public. If in the third wave, the hero of the sword and the hero of the gun can't prove that they are indeed the real four saints, then he will kill them directly and call a new one again. The four holy warriors came to fight.
The Thirty-Second Meg-Marlow who forged the Four Saints will also be executed!
Things have come to this point, there is absolutely no room for maneuver.
The current Meg-Marlow is calm on the surface, but there are dark tides surging in the hinterland.
Everyone is waiting for the arrival of the third wave and the result.
But the Queen knew that, whatever the outcome, the situation was getting out of hand.
If the Sword Hero and the Spear Hero cannot show their due strength in the third wave, then the Shield Hero will definitely kill them without hesitation, and then summon the brand new Four Saint Heroes. And he would definitely lead people into the king's city just like this, and convict the king. And Meg Marlowe Thirty-Second will definitely not be caught without a fight, and the two sides will definitely start an all-out war because of this.
But even if the Sword Hero and the Spear Hero showed their strength in the third wave, things were not much better. Because Meg Marlowe Thirty-Second will definitely make use of the topic, claiming that the shield hero is the murderer who killed the three holy heroes, and send troops to crusade.
In the end, things will evolve to the same result.
If possible, the queen would like to go back to the country immediately and discuss with the shield hero face to face to solve the problem.
But...she couldn't do it.
Because the external environment is harsher than the internal one.
If we say that within Meg-Marlow, the debate on this is still 50-50, then externally, almost all countries are on the side of the Shield Hero.
Their reasons are also convincing.
The first point is that the shield hero did show the strength of the legendary four holy heroes, but the other three were not so powerful in the past.
The second point is that the shield hero has re-summoned a new bow hero.
As we all know, the weapons of the four brave men are bound, and there is no possibility of killing the brave men and replacing them. But the Shield Hero killed the Bow Hero and re-summoned the Bow Hero.
This shows what?
The legend of the Four Saints and Heroes belongs to the entire continent, and almost all countries are well aware of the whole story of this legend, but in the legend, such a thing has never happened. According to the legend, after saving the world, the four holy warriors of the previous generation returned to their original world, while the four holy weapons would disappear, waiting for the next wave and the arrival of a new master.
However, after the bow hero was killed, the holy bow, one of the four holy weapons, not only did not disappear, but a bow hero was re-summoned. What does this mean?
Doesn't that mean the previous one was fake? Otherwise, when the bow hero is killed, the holy bow should disappear instead of being summoned again!
In this way, the hostility of all countries towards Meg-Malo will deepen.
Originally, it was too much for you to have four brave men in one country, but you actually got three fake ones? !
Thinking about it this way, before Meg-Marlow 32 fabricated charges against the Hero of the Shield, I am afraid that he knew that only the Hero of the Shield was real, so he deliberately framed it!
It is also because of this that the queen is also in a state of desperation at this moment, not knowing what to do.
If she doesn't go back, then the outbreak of the civil war is certain and certain. Judging from the previous behavior of the Shield Hero, he not only possesses great strength, but also has a strong will. compromise. And Meg Marlowe Thirty-Second is also determined to go his own way, and it is almost absolutely impossible to reconcile with the Hero of the Shield.
But if she goes back, the surrounding countries will definitely form a joint army to attack Meg-Marlow. Among other things, just forging the Four Saints and Heroes is enough to make them famous.
Although everything is fairly stable now, the queen knows that this is the last calm before the storm. After the third wave is over, no matter what the result is... the current calm will be completely broken.
In other words, I have to come up with a way to solve this problem within this period of time.
But... what to do, the queen has no clue now.
That night, the queen didn't sleep all night.
Compared to the queen who was so worried that she was almost insomnia, Fangzheng seemed to be a higher priority. Not only did he get a good night's sleep, he even got a brand new pet......
"What is this fat bird?"
Looking at the chirping little bird lying on top of his head, Fangzheng reached out his hand out of curiosity and poked it. This little guy looks like a fat chick from the outside, but its whole body feathers are pink... Right now it is flopping around on Fang Zheng's head, and it looks like Fang Zheng is a chicken again. I kiss my father.
Um? Why do you say again?
Hmm... This starts with a certain Charmander...
"Ah, this is the baby Philo bird."
Raphtalia next to her also finished her meal now, looking curiously at the baby bird on Fangzheng's head.
"Philo? The chocobo?"
Hearing this, Fangzheng nodded in a sudden realization. There is a thing called Philo bird in this world. From the appearance, the mount called Chocobo in a certain game world that Fangzheng knows is similar. It looks similar to an ostrich, but it is different from an ostrich. Philos, like chocobos, are covered with feathers.
Moreover, the Philo bird is very powerful, not only can be used as a mount, but also can be used to pull a cart. In fact, during this period of time, Fangzheng and others have seen Philo birds pulling carts on the street.
The current baby bird was hatched from the monster egg that the previous sunglasses merchant gave to Fang Zheng.
But wait, remember what that guy said, the highest you can get is the earth dragon, and the lowest is the guarantee of the Philo bird......
Meow, his hands are black again!
Patting the chicken on his head, Fangzheng sighed helplessly.
Forget it, these are all basic operations, not unusual.
"Let's go, let's go to the Adventurer's Guild today to see if there are any tasks."
Since the end of the second wave, most places have stabilized, but there are still problems of varying degrees in some places. Because of the outbreak of the wave, some fish that slipped through the net may have gone to other places to do evil, or some The monsters that existed in the original place were stimulated and started to act. All in all, there are big and small troubles in various regions right now, and these troubles will also appear in various adventurer guilds in the form of entrustment.
All Fangzheng has to do is to accept these commissions and get rid of the troubles.
Of course, he generally only looked at those more difficult commissions. After all, the higher the level, the more experience, and the low-level monster crusade was naturally not attractive to Fangzheng.
"Ah, Lord Brave!"
Seeing Fang Zheng walking into the Adventurer's Guild, the woman in front of the counter immediately greeted them with a smile. Since the second wave, people's attitude towards the shield hero has also improved a lot, and now it is almost the same as ordinary people.
"Hey, do you have any commission today?"
"For the time being... well, there is indeed something that I hope the brave man can help."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
"In another small town on the east side of the mountain, a very deadly plague broke out recently."
"plague?"
Hearing this, Fangzheng frowned, while the woman nodded.
"Although the people in the town have also received treatment, the effect has been minimal. Everyone knows that the shield hero has great power, so..."
"Understood, I will go to see the situation and investigate."
Fangzheng is not surprised by this, after all, in this world, what he does on weekdays is the same as in the world of Immortal Sword, except for fighting monsters, he is also a cameo doctor. Anyway, most diseases can be cured with holy light, and if it is a little more troublesome, a shot of medical glue will be given directly. Because of this, Fangzheng's reputation can be regarded as spreading.
"Then, please, Mr. Brave."
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, the woman hurriedly lowered her head and saluted, while Fang Zheng nodded, turned around and left immediately after completing the formalities.
However, Fangzheng had just left the Adventurer's Guild when he saw Akami Homura, Raphtalia and Lyfana gathered around a shop, seeming to be discussing something.
"Huh? What are you doing?"
"Ah, master."
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, the three of them turned their heads, and Lifana greeted Fang Zheng respectfully.
"We're looking at the pendants here, they look beautiful."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Fangzheng walked forward, and saw that in front of the shop, there were all kinds of silver ornaments, some of which were inlaid with precious stones, which looked very exquisite and beautiful.
"Do you want it?"
"Ugh?"
"Buy it if you want it, Homura, which one do you like?"
"Well, I want this."
Facing Fang Zheng's question, Xiao Meiyan was silent for a moment, then stretched out her hand and pointed to a pendant.
"Rifana, Raphtalia, how about you?"
"Oh? Do we have one too?"
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, both of them were taken aback, and Fang Zheng nodded.
"Of course, it's not that I don't have money. It's just a piece of jewelry, and it's not very expensive. Just tell me what you want."
"Then... I want this."
The two of them had spent just over a month with Fangzheng, and they also understood that Fangzheng was different from the people they met before, so they didn't make further excuses. Soon, Raphtalia took a fancy to a bracelet, while Lyfana chose a pair of earrings.
However, just as everyone was about to leave after shopping to their heart's content, Fang Zheng suddenly stopped and turned his gaze to an emerald green ring.
"Master Brave, your vision is really good."
Seeing Fangzheng looking at the ring, the shop owner also hurriedly said with a smile.
"This is a treasure carved out of emerald gemstones, it's worth a lot..."
"Um………"
While speaking, Fang Zheng picked up the ring and stared at it carefully for a moment.
Then, a radiance of magic emerged quietly, then condensed in the center of the ring and disappeared.
"Master, are you going to buy this?"
At this moment, Raphtalia also turned her head to watch curiously, while Fang Zheng smiled slightly and put down the ring in his hand.
"No, I'm just looking."
While talking, Fangzheng put the ring back to its original place, and then the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, revealing a meaningful smile.
"Okay, let's go."
