Chapter 169: Fire Dragon Attacks the Village, Dawn Castle Holds a Meeting!
Bleak
A noisy horseshoe sounded on a flat road.
Jiawen looked at the closer and closer villages, and couldn't help but feel relieved.
This is the first village he met in Demasia, which belongs to the Principality of Knock Mimi, the principality of Demasia, located at the border with Noxus.
In his homeland, he no longer had to be as careless as in the territory of Noxus.
But when the village was getting closer, Jiawen's complexion suddenly became ugly.
The villagers who had risen villages were not cooking smoke at all. It is the thick smoke emitted by the fire burning wooden house.
"List, be careful of being alert!"
After hearing Jiawen's serious order, the 80 -ride shield barriers quickly arranged the formation, ready to go.
"Oh !!!"
Suddenly, a dragon roar sounded, and a huge red dragon rose from the village.
Seeing this dragon, everyone's complexion was a little dignified.
Dragon, this is not a good object.
However, Jiawen noticed that the shape of the dragon was a bit small, and it was a bit different from the traditional dragon.
and
With Jiawen's vision, he could clearly see a corpse on the claws of the fire dragon.
Jiawen easily judged that person's identity. Master!
Nokmiqi is a subsidiary of Demasia. Usually searching for the devil will not come here, and the Master of Demasia will flee here, so Jiawen is not surprised by the mage here.
"Shooting!" Jiawen yelled when he saw Huo Long leaving.
He hurt the innocent of a village, how could he make it easily escape.
Alas! Alas!
Nearly a hundred arrows rang at the same time, and the dense arrows fell down like rain.
Most of the arrows hit the fire dragon, and the arrows used rune steel as the arrow. Most of the arrows were penetrated into the scales of the dragon, and the blood -red blood rushed out.
The fire dragon roared a few times, and the dragon claw couldn't help but let go, and the mage's body fell from the air.
"Oh !!!"
The dragon's noodles were sullen, and his mouth opened with a fireball towards Jiawen.
Facing the sudden attack, Jiawen and others were not afraid.
"defense!"
Hearing Jiawen's command, the soldiers took out silver -white shields from behind.
boom!
With the unstoppable power, the fireball hit the shields raised up by the soldiers. Facing the shield formation of nearly a hundred shields, the fireball made a burst sound.
But at the same time, the shield lit red light, and the fireball was slowly narrowing.
The shields of the light shield barriers are made of banned magic stones, which can not only block most physical attacks, but also absorb magic.
But for a moment, the fireball had disappeared.
But at this time, Huolong had already spread his wings far away and flew towards the east.
Jiawen was unwilling, but he knew that he should not have a branch at this time, so he had to give up the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.
Such things happen from time to time. The north and south of Demasia are all high mountains, and there are countless fierce and powerful Warcraft. Today, such dragon biological attacks, have to occur several times a year.
Jiawen's handling is also a light car. He asked the soldiers to perform their duties, some went to the village to extinguish the fire, some rescued the wounded, some converged the corpse, and some reported to the Nock Mimiqi.
As the soldiers were busy, Jiawen himself was also idle.
I don't know for the reason, Jiawen subconsciously walked towards the mage.
Rebelling, when he saw a blood -stained book falling out of the body of the mage's body, his eyes flashed.
He didn't hesitate for a long time. After confirming that no one was around, he was carefully hidden in his arms.
In the process, he scanned the name of the book with Yu Guang:
"Power of the Earth"!
A few days later, the twists and turns Jiawen and others returned to Xiongdu.
It wasn't until he saw the silver white city close at hand that Jiawen's heart was completely let go.
He is back!
As soon as I was close to the magnificent city gate, Jiawen's eyes could not help but narrowed slightly.
At the gate of the city, there was a burly figure standing with a giant sword.
"Galen!"
"Jiawen!"
Ten meters apart, the two had already shouted the other party's name.
Jiawen smiled and rolled over and hugged Galen.
"Just come back." Galen lamented.
"I can't go back like this." Jiawen laughed.
"Hahaha, I still agree with your strength. Waiting for you to go to the parliamentary hall to report, let's go to discuss drinking together." Galen laughed.
"Okay!" Jiawen nodded happily.
The two seemed to be as sparse as before.
"Let's go, His Majesty and the Ministers are ready to wait for you." Galen said.
"I know. The soldiers of the light shield are given you."
Jiawen nodded and knew how Galen had the meaning of appearing here.
Some things need to report to the parliamentary hall by himself.
"Rest assured to me, I will settle them well. Now you are the heroes that allow the two countries to stop the war. At least we can live a peaceful life in the back." Galen sighed complicatedly.
"Yeah. I just don't know how long it can be."
Jiawen nodded towards Galen, rolled over, and ran towards the parliamentary hall of the city center.
On the emergency officer inside Xiongdu, Jiawen could feel the gratitude of the people around him, and even many people even paid a military salute to him.
The news that he led the team to Noxus for peace has spread, although he and the light shield barriers were defeated by the Cui Feli war team to shame Demasia.
But after all, it is different from Noxus, and the strength is not the criterion here. The deeds of harmony are enough to greatly enhance the prestige of Jiawen in Demasia.
The buildings built by Baishi are neat and complete roads, simple and kind people.
Everything here makes Jiawen in the journey to be kind.
Although Demasia did not have Noxus strong, there was no miraculous floating building over the capital.
But every brick here is built together by his ancestors and people, and it is something they need to use life to be guarded by their generations.
"drink!"
Jiawen stretched the reins lightly, so that the horses under his body could be Mercedes -Benz at a faster speed.
He was a little urgent to report the upcoming report.
Passing through the grand square of grand and solemn, by Baishi Xiu, walking through the trail leading to the dawn castle.
Under the leadership of the light shield barrier soldiers, Jiawen entered the dawn castle where the royal family lived, tightened the scroll in his hand, and entered a partial hall.
This is the parliamentary hall where Demasia discusses the state affairs.
When he pushed the door, he instantly felt Jiu's sight shot on him.
Jiawen took a deep breath and raised his hands with both hands:
"Fortunately, don't humiliate!"
"His Royal Highness Jiawen, thank you for your dedication to Demasia." The Minister of Finance praised Bristol.
The war was spending money, and the soldiers died. Demasia and Noxus have been playing for decades, and the treasury will be empty.
Now, at least one years can be peaceful.
"This is what I should do."
Jiawen said upright and signed the scroll of the Peace Treaty to the hands of the eight officials to provide them for transmission.
"The content above is consistent with what we promised." The Minister of Administrative Minister Gramm nodded.
"Recently we need a lot of money, and I recommend selling a large number of banned magic stones." Bristol said.
The Peace Treaty only said that the opening of the banned magic stone trade, but it did not clearly marked.
This is the consistent style of the Nortosas signing treaty, and they never feel that they will get less.
Trade is linked to politics, while military is a capital of political negotiations.
"Marquis Bristol, you are in the enemy." The noble director Alein Nuoguang frowned.
"Princess Eleinno, don't say so unpleasant. The kingdom needs a lot of money now, and now it is a good opportunity. Besides, the banned magic stone is useless to us." Bristol retracted.
In addition to absorbing magic, the defense itself is not good.
Tiana said deeply: "Marquis of Bristol, you have to tell us the financial gap, which determines how much resources we need to sell."
In the previous meeting, the rough plan has been finalized.
There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!
Now just take a process and talk about details, and to allocate the interests by the way.
There are advantages and disadvantages to open trade. Although the market within the kingdom will be impacted, it can also redeem a large amount of resources in a short time.
Demasia is lonely, and the north and south are full of towering mountains. It is difficult to go to Aienia on the west. They want to trade. Noxus is a hurry.
The families present are not clean, and they have set up a chamber of commerce in Pittovov's back to buy supplies from Noxus.
Such trade is not only dangerous, but also spans more than half of the Valland.
But now, opening trade means that all nobles and even the kingdom can gain a lot of funds, which is exactly what Demasia is short of.
At least half of this funds are the amount that will be distributed to various nobles in the future.
"We also need 500,000 Cui Feli gold coins." Bristeos hesitated.
Since Cui Fali was in the top, Cui Feli Gold has quickly become the best currency in the Runeland continent.
Just because this gold coin has the endorsement of Noxus, and Noxus provides a large number of channels to equalize the exchanges of unsolvable gold and silver.
Even they have to admit that only Noxus can do it in the mainland.
Especially after Kyle was defeated, the status of Singapore Coin was more reliable, and it was not inferior to the Jinhai Demon used by Bilgiwater for maritime trade.
Hundreds of princesses and city -states have announced their official currency. Moreover, Demasia must use Cui Feli gold coins to trade with Noxus, which is also a supplementary clause for peace treaties.
"500,000? Do you just manage the finances of the kingdom?" Elein Nuo widened.
Although it contains the interests of the nobles, this number is still unexpected by everyone.
The purchasing power of Cui Feli gold coins is not weak, and one can buy 1 kg of animal -shepherd meat. An ordinary Demasian soldier's food for one year is only hundreds of gold coins.
"What can I do." Bristol was ugly. "Recently, the people's emotions need to appease, and the proposal of the Duke Grands has objected. Now it is officially implemented. Money is the same as flowing water. "
In order to divert the attention of the people, they are not suspicious of each other.
Administrative Minister Grammum proposed to hold a variety of grand celebrations to inspire morale and show Demasia's strength and restore the public to confidence.
The money in this part depends on additional subsidies. Demasia has not left anything left in the Treasury because of the years.
"500,000 is 500,000. We should think about how to fill this hole. According to the price that Noxus can accept, it will take about 1 ton of forbidden magic stone." Tiana rubbed her head with a headache.
The price is not low, and each kilogram of forbidden magic stone can be exchanged for 500 gold coins.
Forbidden magic stone is not a scarce material. It can be found everywhere in the forbidden magic forest. Even the outer walls of the heroic city and some buildings are repaired with forbidden magic stone.
What Demacia has always lacked is craftsmen who can use forbidden magic stone to make weapons. So far, few people have such strength.
"1 ton. It doesn't have much impact on us, but if this matter is known to other regions, they will hate us to death." Foreign Minister Adair smiled bitterly.
They are not afraid of forbidden magic stone, but it does not mean that people in other regions do not use magic. As long as it is magic, it will be absorbed by forbidden magic stone.
You know, Noxus' enemies are not only them.
"Can we sell the forbidden magic stone to them?" Bristol suddenly had an idea, and he became more and more excited. "This way, we will not only not strengthen Noxus' strength, but also bring greater benefits to the kingdom."
"It's a good idea, but Noxus must not know about it." Tiana agreed.
The rest of the people also expressed their intention to agree, and finally looked at Adair.
"Earl Adair" Jarvan III paused, "The matter of contacting other regions is left to you. You are the only one among us who can do this in secret. Noxus is getting stronger day by day, and they don't want to wait to be enslaved."
Adair looked at the eyes of his colleagues and nodded: "Leave it to me."
He actually wanted to push this matter to Prince Jarvan, but Jarvan III obviously expected his idea and took the initiative to speak to block everything.
"I"
Jarven hesitated, but finally said:
"I have one more thing to report, about Noxus."
"Your Highness, you can speak freely here." Elinor said kindly.
"On my way back to Demacia, I saw the Trifarii Warband marching towards the Immortal Bastion. The team was complete, with at least 10,000 people, led by Trifarii Vice President Darius." Jarven looked a little solemn.
The reason he hesitated before was that he was considering whether it was necessary to say it.
In his opinion, this was just something Noxus did for them to see. On the contrary, the spread of this news would have a certain impact on Demacia.
Originally, the peace treaty was signed, and the border did not need too many forces to be stationed.
At this time, the withdrawal of Noxus would only ease the tension in Demacia and cause their internal conflicts to erupt.
"It's a matter of time, but don't tell the people about this too early." Tiana said.
He knew more than Jarvan. News had come from the border that the Noxian army had retreated, leaving only the daily garrison troops.
Noxus' withdrawal was undoubtedly intended to make the Demacians feel relieved.
Because of the external enemy, the Demacians had no time to care about what was happening inside, and were always ready to fight to the death with Noxus.
Even the matter of the Winged Protector using magic was temporarily postponed, otherwise there would not be only a small undercurrent surging in the Heroic City.
Like Jarvan, both Tiana and the others present understood in their hearts.
Now that the Noxian army has withdrawn, all internal conflicts will emerge. Even if it does not break out, Noxus will add fuel to the flames.
"Understood." Jarvan nodded and said no more.
The senior officials present talked for a long time, and Jarvan III seemed to want the crown prince to listen in, and never let Jarvan leave.
The others did not mind, so they let Jarvan listen, and they concentrated on discussing the major events that might happen in the future.
When the sun set in the west, the eight officials left the Dawn Castle.
The parliament hall became unusually empty, with only the father and son looking at each other.
"Father, I heard that the situation in Xiongdu is not good now." Jarvan mentioned it obscurely.
He knew that Jarvan III wanted him to grow up slowly, but they had no time.
"It can be suppressed for now, and it will return to calm after a while."
Jarvan III said with indifference, but Jarvan saw the worry in his eyes.
He gritted his teeth, knelt on one knee decisively, and said sincerely:
"I am willing to share your worries."
Hearing this, even the mild-tempered Jarvan III couldn't help but frown.
If it were any other king, he would have been on guard in his heart.
But Jarvan III knew his prince, and his expression quickly recovered, and he sighed slightly:
"You don't have anything to do now. We can only deal with many things unchanged. Let's practice the Light Shield Barrier for the time being."
Hearing his father's words that he wanted to hand over the Light Barrier to him, Jarvan couldn't help but be slightly shocked, and he promised with a serious face:
"Father, I will not let you down."
"Go down."
"Yes!"
