Chapter 203 202 Common People, Princesses, and Warriors
It was a cross-shaped blade, and it was almost exactly the same as the weapon he saw in his dream!
But before that, he had never seen anything like it.
This even gave him a sense of unreality.
"You actually recognized [Charikar]?"
The woman was also shocked.
It would have been better if she didn't speak. As soon as she spoke, Anita's pupils couldn't help but tremble again.
The weapon was actually called [Charikar]! ! !
At this moment, he no longer had any luck.
Even in his mind, he couldn't help but replay the scene in last night's dream repeatedly.
"Insect God! It's really the Insect God!"
"He's really back!"
"The Insect God is really back to destroy the world!"
"Is that a dream!"
Looking at his neurotic shouting, the soldiers around him all looked at each other, speechless.
Only the woman, with her eyebrows slightly frowned, seemed to smell a hint of something unusual.
She had actually heard the rumor of "Insect God destroying the world".
That was nearly five years ago.
At that time, Shurima had just returned to the embrace of the Sun God, and many mortals were still deeply in the thoughts and awe of the Insect God.
In order to eliminate the influence of the Insect God in Shurima, the members of the Sun God Cult had no choice but to resort to this last resort and fabricated the rumor that the Insect God was about to destroy the world.
Although this rumor has been getting more and more intense due to the nuisance of the Void Burrowing Beast and the Shell People, as a member of the royal family, she clearly knew that it was just a conspiracy of the Sun God Cult to gather faith.
But the current situation of this young man did not seem to be a reaction after listening to some brainwashing remarks.
"What Insect God or not Insect God? What are you talking about? Are you trying to fool this princess by pretending to be crazy and stupid?"
She asked with a cold look.
While speaking, she also looked at the group of children not far away.
Since ten years ago, Shurima has ordered to ban all forms of tomb robbing.
And these people are all Anita's accomplices.
"No! It's not like that!"
"It's the insect god!"
"I dreamed of him yesterday!"
"No!"
"That's not a dream!"
"He told me that this weapon is called [Charikar]!"
"He also told me to go to the imperial capital to find the royal family!"
"Yes!"
"He did ask me to find the royal family!"
"He also said that he would summon you in his dream!"
Hearing that the other party was actually a princess, Anita finally woke up and hurriedly spoke incoherently.
This made everyone confused.
However, the princess' eyes flashed with a trace of shock: "The insect god dreamed? You mean you were dreamed of by the insect god last night? That's why you came here to steal the ancient tomb?"
"Princess! Don't believe this! This guy clearly wants to use the name of the god to excuse himself!"
Unexpectedly, his own princess actually had the tendency to believe the other party, and a golden armored warrior next to him quickly reminded her.
In fact, it was not just him, but others also had the same idea at this time.
Especially Anita's friends!
They even thought Anita was a little too much, and actually made up such an unreliable lie, so they kept their heads down from beginning to end, not daring to breathe.
But facing the guard's reminder, the princess did not seem to appreciate it.
"Tell me in detail what happened in the dream! And what the insect god looks like! Describe it for me! The more detailed the better!"
She waved her hand to stop the man and continued to speak to Anita.
Seeing that she was willing to believe in herself, Anita naturally did not dare to hide anything.
". He has black hair and black eyes. His nose is not as straight as those of people here. His eye sockets are also shallow. Although he is not too handsome, he has an indescribable temperament. By the way! There is also a mole on his neck."
He recounted his memory and then described it with his hands and feet.
This time, even the guard couldn't help showing a hint of surprise.
Because as a royal guard, he was actually fortunate enough to see a portrait of the insect god once in his early years.
He couldn't remember whether there was a mole on the insect god's neck, but Anita's description clearly met most of the characteristics of the insect god.
"Come back to the palace with me! If this is true, I will forgive your crime."
The princess said excitedly.
Then, she called everyone and ran to the distant royal city.
As for Anita's "accomplices", the princess waved her hand and let them all go back.
Shurima Royal City, Royal Palace.
"Father! There is good news! Great news!"
With the brisk sound of leather boots hitting the floor, a crisp call passed through the door and entered the study.
In the study, a middle-aged man with gray hair was listening seriously to the report of his subordinates. Hearing this, his haggard face couldn't help but reveal a touch of helplessness and pampering.
"You go down first"
He waved at the subordinate who was hesitant to speak.
And at this moment, a beautiful figure walked in briskly.
She was the princess who had arrested Anita before. Her name was Yelina. She was the great-granddaughter of the War Queen Sivir and the only heir to the current Shurima Empire.
But that didn't mean she didn't have other brothers and sisters.
In fact, the reason why she was pushed to the throne of the empire's heir was just because she was lucky enough to inherit the ascended bloodline of the War Queen.
[Chalikar]’s compliance is the best proof.
"You should learn from your sister and attend more gatherings among nobles. Now is the peaceful era, and you no longer need to show off like this."
Looking at his beloved daughter, the emperor said earnestly.
"I don't want to deal with those hypocritical guys! Especially those from the Sun God Cult!"
"If they hadn't said there was a way to restore the power of the healing water, I would have driven them out of Shurima immediately!"
Jelena immediately pouted coquettishly.
"You can never say this kind of thing again. Especially in public."
"We are the royal family after all. No matter what we do or say, we must consider the overall situation!"
"The Void Zerg in the south are still ready to move."
"Without the help of the Sun God Cult, we will be alone!"
The emperor lectured.
Jelina naturally understands these words, and she has heard them countless times and is already tired of them.
"Let's not talk about this for now! Listen to the good news I have brought to you."
She quickly changed the subject.
Immediately, someone brought Anita over and told in detail the entire experience of her encounter with him.
"Do you believe that kid?"
After hearing the whole story, the emperor frowned again.
He was not pleased.
Because regardless of whether this is true or not, it will definitely have a huge impact on the situation in Shurima.
And no matter who loses or wins, they can't get any benefits at all.
The Insect God cannot tolerate his authority being subverted!
The Sun God Cult will never allow the Insect God to become the master of Shurima again.
"I don't think he's lying again!"
"He even recognized [Chalikar]!"
"I'm afraid not many people in the entire empire can recognize this thing!"
Jelena nodded.
As her voice fell, Anita also stumbled into the palace despite the support of a group of people.
Looking at the young man in front of him, the emperor almost believed Jelina's analysis.
"What were the Lord Insect God's original words?"
He first dismissed the guards, and then asked calmly.
This is also his final test.
Only when the other party's explanation is reasonable, will he formally consider welcoming the arrival of the Insect God.
"He said fuck! Don't leave yet! Even if you have to leave, you must remember to tell the royal family of Shurima for me! Let them come to see me in the dream! Remember! Don't let me forget it."
Feeling the oppression brought by the emperor, Anita said nervously.
He remembers this sentence particularly well.
Because those were the last words that Chen Jianzhou tried his best to carve into his mind!
The study became silent for a moment.
Jelina felt a little outrageous and couldn't help but look at the emperor.
The emperor, on the other hand, touched a finger in his hand, wondering what he was thinking.
"Your Majesty, I know that these words do not seem to come from the mouth of a god. But the insect god in the dream did say that. He also said that he would give me the power of ascension. I really did not lie to you. Please be careful!"
Thinking that the emperor was questioning herself, Anita continued with a sad face.
But as soon as he finished speaking, the emperor who was sitting on the throne suddenly laughed: "Did I ever say I don't believe you?"
"Quickly put your worries aside! The tone you just relayed is indeed exactly the style of the Insect God."
"The reason why I am silent is just because I think of some past events."
past?
"Father, do you mean Grandpa Nasus?"
Jelena's eyes lit up instantly.
She has actually been curious about the whereabouts of those legendary powerhouses.
Now that the emperor took the initiative to talk about it, she couldn't help but ask.
However, after hearing her question, the emperor slowly shook his head: "It's not General Nasus, but another real distant relative of our royal family. I was still young at the time and not very sensible, so I kept pestering him to let me go. He told me stories about the past, and most of them happened to be about the insect god."
"Distant royal relative?"
"When did our royal family have another distant relative?"
Jelena expressed very doubts.
In this regard, the emperor's answer was extremely simple: "You will see him. Although he does not like to participate in politics, if he knows that the insect god has returned, he will definitely rush back to Shurima immediately. And if we want to successfully welcome the insect god God, you will definitely not be able to do without his help, but you must go and inform him of this matter alone! Don’t let the news leak out!”
"Going alone? You mean, I can leave the capital?"
Jelena was instantly overjoyed.
The sharp sound even alerted the guards outside.
"Not only the royal capital, but also Shurima! But before that, you have to go to Piltover and find a man named Ezreal! He has a piece of equipment passed down from Shurima. The artifact is called [Nezuk's Armguard], and with it, you can cross the ocean and reach the hanging garden hidden under the thunderstorm."
The emperor showed a touch of favor and envy here.
Because he knew that this was destined to be a beautiful and exciting journey.
Even in the near future, it will become a memory that Jelena will never forget.
"Piltover? Sky Garden? Can I do it?"
Yelina also realized the complexity of the matter and couldn't help but feel uneasy.
However, this time the emperor did not comfort her, but smiled and summoned an eunuch, and asked him to directly summon three young warriors he had been paying attention to from the barracks.
The first one was named "Quick", a rookie of the Rock Sparrow Clan. Not only was he born with the ability to control sand and stones, but he was also proficient in wind-controlling swordsmanship. He once defeated a void-burrowing beast that was once active in the western mountains by himself, and was nicknamed "Wind and Sand Swordsman".
Compared with the first one, the second one had a relatively poor background. In his early years, he was a scavenger in the southern sand dunes, but later, he was selected by an old imperial general and sent to the army.
Now, the old general is dead, and he has inherited the old general's surname and became a lieutenant in the southern expedition army.
His name is "Had", and his greatest achievement is that he successfully escaped back to the desert under the pursuit of the lion dog Rengar.
This made him a legend in the Southern Expedition Army!
——Although he actually lost an ear because of this.
But the most mysterious one is actually the third one.
Because if we really talk about strength, even if the first and second ones are added together, they can't be his opponent.
His name is "Nadine", a blacksmith in the army, and also a host selected by the third generation of Zerg!
There is only one shortcoming: a bad brain.
Otherwise, with his ability, he would have become a majestic general by now.
After recruiting all the troops, the emperor immediately sent Yelina out of the capital.
Because he knew that the longer the time dragged on, the greater the variables of this matter would be.
——Especially when many people knew about this matter.
His worries were not wrong.
Because not long after Yelina left the royal city, one of her guards quietly left the palace and went to the location of the Sun God Cult.
He betrayed his loyalty just because he needed money to marry his beloved girl.
And with his betrayal, a storm that ordinary people could not see slowly surged from the silent yellow sand of Shurima.
The most tragic one among them was Anita.
As the first dream master of the insect god, he naturally became the entourage of Princess Yelina.
Although in this way, he would no longer have to sleep in the open and go hungry, but if he could choose, he would rather not get involved in the current affairs.
"Your Highness, aren't you afraid that the insect god will really destroy the world when he comes back? Maybe we shouldn't go to find that master at all."
Sitting in the carriage, looking at the sun disk that was gradually going away, he couldn't help asking.
But after hearing this, the other four people in the car laughed.
"If the Insect God really wanted to destroy the world, why would he have sent you a dream? Do you really think that the insects all over the world are not enough to destroy the entire Rune Continent?"
"Put your heart back in your stomach! Scavenger! The Insect God is the God of Savior, not the God of Destruction! Those rumors outside are just some rumors with ulterior motives."
"Had" and "Quick" said one after another.
The former did not have too many other thoughts, but the latter clearly despised Anita.
