Chapter 786 [0774] It's Really Karya
In Shurima, gold has a special meaning.
Not only because gold represents wealth, but also because in the long history of Shurima, gold products have been deeply bound to the Shurima royal family.
Part of the reason for this inherent impression comes from Karya's obsession and preference for gold when Shurima was established and the weights and measures were unified; part of it comes from the fact that the material of the sun disk contains a lot of gold.
In addition to the above two points, there is another very important point that cannot be ignored: the ascension forms of the Ascended Empress Wu and the Regent Prince are both closely related to gold.
Both Setaka's eagle feathers and Karya's eagle feathers are made of gold.
Under the superposition of multiple factors, gold has a very special meaning in Shurima. It is not only an important magic carrying material and coinage material, but also the favorite jewelry material of the Shurimans.
In addition to the line of the Targon Mountains, there is a huge amount of gold underground in Shurima. With the rise of the Shurima tribe, gold has been increasingly valued until it is completely integrated into the life, aging, illness and death of the Shurimans.
According to the tradition of Shurima, when a child is born, his family will usually make him a small gold ornament; when the child reaches adulthood, the gold ornament will be recast as his personal seal; when getting married, gold is the most important jewelry material, which is often passed down from generation to generation; even when dying, a few pieces of gold foil are often plated on the coffin - that is a tip for the extradition of the Lord of Death.
This tradition of Shurima not only still exists today, but also has a wide impact on secondary civilizations.
Whether it is Ixtal, Ekassia or Kamavia, gold is highly valued.
For example, the crown of the Elemental King is made of gold as a whole. This is because the people of Runeland have good physical fitness. Otherwise, a crown weighing five or six pounds on the head all day long will probably cause cervical spondylosis in a short time...
According to the tradition of Shurima, sand is the least valuable thing, so when fighting with Karya, no one associated him with the legendary Prince Regent.
The noble Prince Regent ascended in a proud golden-feathered eagle, which was obviously different from the guy playing with sand.
But the situation is different now.
Since he has decided to show his cards, Kalya simply showed his most well-known posture!
In the astonished eyes of everyone, a pair of golden wings spread out from his back. The wings were made of pure gold, and each feather was shining with the light of wealth.
This is not the end.
As the golden wings spread out, the various golden ornaments brought in by the Elemental King to show his identity in the restricted area, except for the crown, seemed to hear a silent call.
These golden objects and ornaments seemed to come alive and floated in the air, trembling and hissing, rushing towards Kalya, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, turning into golden streams.
Wrapped in these golden streams, Kalya was covered with a robe woven with gold silk, and in his hand there was also a mask made of pure gold, which was extremely thin.
The golden mask was in the shape of a bird's beak, engraved with ancient patterns and some inconspicuous magic circuits.
In addition, a crown dedicated to the Prince Regent was quickly formed on his head. On the inside of the crown, rows of magic circuits spontaneously formed a complete magic circuit without any additional control.
Kalya, holding the golden bird's beak mask, snorted softly and then put the mask on his face.
As the magic circuits on the mask and the crown merged into one, a bright light lit up on Kalya's head - this special lighting effect was only activated when Kalya attended certain special ceremonies.
Seeing this scene, the Elemental King and his guards were already stunned.
Could it be... could he really be His Excellency Kalya?
How could this be possible?
His Excellency Kalya is the teacher of His Majesty Nezuk, is he still alive?
Well, wait, this doesn't seem impossible. After all, Lord Kalya is an ascender and an immortal. It is not impossible for him to live to this day...
But if Lord Kalya is still alive, why did the Shurima Empire collapse?
You know, in the history books of Ixtal, a widely accepted view is that Kalya's death marks the collapse and disintegration of the Shurima Empire.
If Lord Kalya didn't die, did he choose to sit back and watch the Shurima Empire fall apart?
For a moment, both the Elemental King himself and the guards who were supposed to protect him were a little confused.
Even the Elemental King no longer considered the issue of his bloodline, but just stared at Kalya blankly, his eyes were empty.
For him, the impact of everything in front of him was really too great.
This scene was so powerful that his brain, which was at most stupid and wise, was on the verge of crashing, so that the Elemental King entered a state of red temperature overload, and the whole person just stared at Kalya blankly, unable to make any movements.
Seeing the Elemental King like this, Kalja was even more upset.
Look at Azir!
Although Azir's risky move gave the Shurima Empire the last piece of territory, it is hard for even Kalya to really blame him - the situation in the Shurima Empire is so bad, think about it You know, Azir’s range of choices is really small.
But what about the elemental king in front of me?
Compared with the end of the Shurima Empire, Ixtal's situation is not a little better, but the Elemental King only knows how to eat and wait for death, and the Elemental Council and Yuntal are fighting endlessly, and one of them is trying to undermine each other. .
The legacy of Kalya left by Nezuk to them was so rich that they had no ambition at all!
Even among today's radicals, there are probably only a handful of people who are truly working for a broader world!
Thinking about this, Kalya simply decided to take some more powerful medicine.
He opened his hand, and a cross blade appeared in Kalya's hand.
Chalikar.
This cross blade that Kalya had always kept in his own little world, this weapon that once represented Setaka, appeared in front of the world again after many years.
Easily turning Chalikar in his hands, Kalya snatched the crown of the Elemental King.
The surrounding guards looked at the scene in front of them blankly.
Although Kalya's movements were not fast, they all had room to block him.
But...do we really want to stop it?
His Majesty the King of Elements didn’t even move!
And at the moment when they were hesitating, the Chalikar spinning in Kalya's hand easily crossed the elemental king's crown.
Even the crown of the Elemental King has a protective magic circuit, but in front of Chalikar, everything is meaningless.
A perfect crown was cut off in one fell swoop, split into two pieces, and landed at the feet of the Elemental King with a clang.
"You don't have the responsibilities of a king at all." Kalya lowered his head, looked at the elemental king who was still stunned in front of him, and finally shook his head gently, "You are not worthy of being king."
……………………
In the court, conservatives and radicals were still arguing.
Then, just when everyone thought that today would end with the two sides spitting at each other but unable to reach any consensus, someone hurried over and brought back the news of "the return of the Prince Regent."
After hearing the news, the Elemental Council and Yuentar's Great Elemental Envoys almost forked away the messenger who was talking nonsense.
The return of the Prince Regent?
Why didn't you say that the ascended Martial Queen was resurrected?
However, after the messenger detailed everything that happened in the restricted area, the two parties who were arguing endlessly fell into a deathly silence at the same time.
In this suffocating silence, a crazy idea gradually appeared in everyone's mind.
Could it be that he is really Kalya?
The person who just has golden feathers on his back may not be Kalya.
The person who can only affect the light and dark of the crown may not be Kalya.
The person who can only produce Chalikal may not be Kalya.
However, if a person not only has Kalya's golden feathers, but also can turn the elemental crown from light to dark, and also takes out Chalikar...
Then he might really be Kalya.
And if the person in the penalty area is Karya...
Is this good news for Ixtal and everyone here?
This is a question worth thinking about.
After realizing this, the first thing that almost everyone present thought of was Lord Kalya's attitude towards Ixtal.
Different positions will affect people's thinking and judgment.
If the person who activates the Legacy of Kalya in the restricted area is an outsider, then this person is Ixtal's enemy.
Even the radicals who want to use Kalya will not have any good impression of Kalya itself - for them, Kalya is just a stepping stone, just like Tariq, to let Ixtar go to the rainforest. tool man outside.
They have no good impressions of Kalya, and if they have the opportunity in the future, they will take revenge on Kalya as soon as possible.
In comparison, the conservatives' direct shouting of beating and killing is a bit low-level.
But if Kalya is really Kalya...
It seems that his various performances in the past should be re-interpreted.
It’s no surprise that Kalja activated the Legacy of Kalja.
Moreover, if it is Kalya, then the reason why he wants to fight against the void is very understandable.
It seems that after recognizing Kalya's identity, many mysteries about him can be solved.
So what is Kalya supposed to mean to Ixtal?
Would he wish to rebuild the great Shurima Empire and make Ixtar a part of it again?
This is a question worth thinking about.
It is not completely unacceptable for the Ixtal people to let them go outside the rainforest.
But it would be unacceptable for them to return to their historical status of being vassal to the Shurima Empire.
joke.
When it first became a vassal of the Shurima Empire, Ixtal was still in a state of ignorance. Going to the Shurima Empire meant becoming civilized, and it also shared many benefits.
But now...
Look at Shurima's shameful appearance!
If being a dog of the Shurima Empire is not a disgrace, then being a dog of Shurima now is a sign of humiliation.
Don't even think about becoming part of Shurima again.
Even in the eyes of most Ixtarians, it is a shame to stand shoulder to shoulder with the current Shurima. What the radicals want is to go out, which means to lead Shurima!
So, if Kalya wants Ixtar to become part of Shurima again... Sorry, even if you are Kalya, that won't work.
Of course, if you think positively...
No matter how dissatisfied he is with the Elemental King, he should be the last blood of the royal family of the Shurima Empire, right?
After all, it was a foregone conclusion that Nezuk married the last princess of the Shurima Empire, and the subsequent blood inheritance of Ixtar has not changed.
So, compared to Shurima, where there are many self-made kings, perhaps the Ixtar royal family is the closest blood descendant to Mr. Kalya!
In addition, his attitude towards the Elemental King is obviously angry at his lack of struggle...
Does that mean that if Mr. Elemental King is reliable, Kalya will be willing to stand on the side of Ixtar?
What, you said that Karya is the founder of Shurima and a Shuriman?
There is actually no problem with this. Ixtar can also be renamed Shurima. As long as the Regent Prince is willing to stand on our side, Ixtar can become the Shurima Empire, and everyone can accept it!
After realizing this, many old men and women who insisted on "keeping the tradition" before were even a little shaken-they were conservative because expansion would bring a lot of uncertainty, not that they really didn't want Ixtar to be more glorious.
If Karya is really willing to stand on the side of Ixtar and declare that Ixtar is the orthodoxy of the Shurima Empire... then it's not a bad idea for us to be a little radical!
However, considering that the crown of the Elemental King was taken by Karya, and thinking about the historical records of the Regent Prince, it seems that it is not a simple thing to get his approval.
It's probably not enough to just have the blood of the royal family of the Shurima Empire!
Thinking of this, many people couldn't help but look at the silent Qiyana.
If there is anyone in the royal family of Ixtal who can catch Kalya's eye...
I'm afraid it's only Qiyana, right?
Many people even thought that Qiyana had fought with Kalya before, and although she was embarrassed, she didn't suffer any substantial damage.
Could it be that Lord Kalya had long hoped that Her Highness the Tenth Princess would become the new Elemental King?
In a very delicate atmosphere, the discussion about the Void Rift was temporarily shelved.
Then all the great elementalists of the Elemental Council and the Yuntal Elders Council agreed that Her Highness Qiyana should serve as a special envoy and go to the restricted area to talk.
