Chapter 274 The King and I
Before the two groups entered the palace, Lu Yi learned about the small conflict at the city gate in advance.
The servant who reported the incident probably had some acting talent. He sometimes pretended to be Ares and raised his eyebrows, and sometimes pretended to be Zorn and changed his expression in an instant.
His imitation was so lifelike that Lu Yi could even imagine the scene of the two men confronting each other.
[Sure enough, since ancient times, the conflict between the eldest brother-in-law and the younger brother's wife is irreconcilable, even if the younger brother's wife is a male.] 857 sighed deeply.
Lu Yi was choked by its words.
[“Do you want to listen to what you are saying? What a strange combination of brother-in-law and sister-in-law…”]
[Don't worry about it, just let each of us discuss our own issues.]
857 said that it has its own logical rhythm, which Lu Yi does not understand but respects.
Although Zorn entered the city before Ares at the city gate, it was Ares who arrived at the palace first.
The attendant announced, and Ares strode in.
Lu Yi found that he seemed to be in a good mood.
"I thought you would tell me about Zorn." Lu Yi said with a smile.
Ares tilted his head slightly, "Why do you miss me so much?"
Being stared at intently by his inky black eyes, Lu Yi stretched out his hand to block his eyes. Only he knew that his cheeks, which seemed normal, were slightly hot.
Perhaps influenced by the conversation with Sairen yesterday, Lu Yi's brain slowed down a bit when he saw Ares again.
Ares's eyelashes brushed lightly over the most sensitive part of his palm.
Lu Yi heard Ares chuckle softly, and the laugh sounded surprisingly sexy.
"Well, actually it's because I thought you would mention him." Ares reached out and held Lu Yi's hand that was covering his eyes.
"You care about these people more than you think. Are you worried about what I will do to him?"
Lu Yi deliberately asked: "Are you jealous?"
Aristotle said calmly: “You can understand it this way.
"After all, who am I fighting for, and who am I giving in to... There has to be some reward."
"Well, let me think, maybe become a duke?"
"Wow, what a great reward," Ares said calmly.
Lu Yi curled his lips and smiled.
"Then how about the position of the Queen of the New Victory Empire? Would you like to consider it?"
Ares instantly slid the hand that was holding his down and looked at him intently.
He didn't say anything, but his eyes were flashing with extremely intense fire.
"Well, although not now, at least wait until everything is stable and the dust settles..."
"You always know how to control a beast." Ares smiled, bending down devoutly and kissing the back of his hand.
The chains that controlled the beast were held high and offered, and the initiator was in control of everything.
"If this is your wish—"
-
"Your Majesty, Zorn Klein requests an audience with you—"
The servant's voice outside the door interrupted the ambiguous flow.
Under the threat of Lu Yi's gaze, Ares tactfully walked into the inner room and pretended that he did not exist.
So when Zorn came in, what he saw was Lu Yi sitting upright at the desk.
Although there were no outsiders present, Zorn still bowed respectfully.
Lu Yi has long gone from being completely uncomfortable and uncomfortably uncomfortable in the beginning to being self-paralyzed and selectively ignoring things now.
After all, no matter what he said, his two serious brothers always insisted on their own opinions and refused to compromise on the etiquette towards the monarch.
Fortunately, after the formalities, they remained close, which made Lu Yi reluctantly accept the current solution.
"Your Majesty's cheeks seem a little red. Are you too tired today?" Zorn asked with concern.
Lu Yi explained randomly: "Maybe it's a bit boring... What do the Elf Forest say? Did they agree?"
"Agreed. The Elf King is happy to help you. Well, they even took the initiative to send a team of elves to Xinshengli to assist us. They are waiting outside the palace now. How about letting them in directly?"
Lu Yi said: "That's great, let them in quickly!"
Members of the elf team came in one after another. There were about forty-eight elves in total, and the leader was an old acquaintance.
Bai waved at Lu Yi excitedly, and then the older elf beside him pulled the corner of his clothes. He then remembered something, put his hand in front of his chest, saluted Lu Yi in an unfamiliar way and said: "Greetings to you, Your Majesty!"
The one who moved faster than him was Xiaoyi. Before Bai could finish his words, Xiaoyi was thrown out like a small cannonball and flew in front of Lu Yi in the blink of an eye.
Lu Yi immediately reached out to hold him, and Xiaoyi squinted his eyes and rubbed his little head back and forth on his fingertips.
Lu Yi restrained his strength, gently tapped - or rather gently touched his little head, and said affectionately: "Why do I feel like you haven't grown up at all? Are you eating well?"
"He's just a little cub and he eats more than me!" Bai complained.
Xiaoyi turned around and glared at Bai, then became gentle and cute again when he turned to Lu Yi.
He held Lu Yi's index finger and explained eagerly: "I have grown up a lot, Lu Yi, if you don't believe me, look at me again!"
Xiaoyi flew out of Lu Yi's palm. With a "ding" sound and a flash of light, the palm-sized elf cub disappeared, and was replaced by a blond elf boy whose head just reached Lu Yi's shoulder.
The young Xiao Yi naturally looks 70% like Lu Yi, and their blue eyes are exactly the same. Anyone who sees them would not think that there is no blood relationship between them.
857 The ball of light circled around Xiaoyi and looked at him again and again.
【This is really settled! 】
Seeing Lu Yi's surprise, Xiaoyi raised a rather smug smile.
Zorn couldn't help but ask, "Does he look very similar to you? I was also surprised when I first saw him."
“Yes, it’s a wonderful feeling.”
Although they only had a brief contact in the Elf Forest, Lu Yi's closeness to Xiao Yi increased instead of decreasing.
Xiaoyi grabbed Lu Yi's clothes, feeling half aggrieved and half uncontrollably happy.
"I've always wanted to come and see you, but Bai said he had to wait until I was an adult. But it takes so long for an elf to become an adult... Will Lu Yi still remember me by then? Will he still like me?"
Lu Yi stroked his soft blond hair, "Of course."
Bai, who was watching, didn't know for a moment whether he should envy Xiaoyi or Lu Yi.
Lu Yi seemed to notice his gaze and turned to him and smiled. Bai immediately felt that Xiao Yi's pretending to be pitiful was disgusting.
"I didn't expect you to come. I'm really glad to see you again! How is His Majesty the Elf King doing these days? How is your father? Is everyone okay?"
"Everyone is fine! His Majesty sent us here. He said you must need help right now."
Bai said, pointing to his companions behind him.
"These are all good warriors with rich practical experience. Don't worry, Lu Yi. No matter how many inferior humans come and try to bully you, we will beat them back!"
"Yes, it is really a great help that you are here."
It is no exaggeration to say that if the opponent is a human, each mature elf warrior can fight against a hundred. This is undoubtedly a huge improvement in the overall combat power of the New Victory Empire.
The more solid the rear is, the more confident and bold Lu Yi can be in looking for the traces of the dragon clan.
In this race against time with Callisto, the balance of victory began to tilt quietly after the elves joined in.
…
…
Kanamo Desert.
Lu Yi, Ares and Shimona shuttled through the endless yellow sand.
The wind and sand in the sky blurred the vision. The gravel underfoot was golden lava. The flowing heat waves distorted the horizon. The rolling sand dunes looked like the spine of a dead beast.
There is no winter in the Kanamo Desert; the scorching sun is the only theme of this land.
Shimona had anticipated the coming of the hot season in Kanamo, but he did not expect it to be so difficult.
The New Victory Empire, which was still howling in the cold wind a few days ago, is now almost roasted by the Kanamo Desert.
Shimona swallowed hard, looking at the two indifferent people in front of him with great envy.
Is this the strength of a high-level magician?
Although Ximona gained some ability to protect himself when traveling around the continent, all his means lost their effect at this moment.
Lu Yi turned his head to look at him and asked, "Ximona, are you okay?"
"I'm fine!" In order to prevent his voice from being swallowed by the yellow sand, Shimona answered loudly.
[I'm sure he's envious of how well you two have adapted to the desert.] 857 said with a gloating look.
[“Shimona is different from us. Compared with the Death Desert in the abyss, it is really a small matter.”] Lu Yi said.
As for Ares? Even if he was severely punished by the rules, it was not something that could be discussed on the same level.
Just as he was thinking about it, Shimona behind him was slowing down, and finally even stopped.
Lu Yi also stopped.
"What's wrong?"
Ximona shook his head hesitantly and said, "The wind and sand are too strong in the hot season. I can't tell the direction from the previous time."
The wind and sand had become stronger at some point, and Shimona felt that Lu Yi, who was clearly very close to her, was becoming blurry.
In the past few years, he has traveled all over the mainland and experienced many strange things. He has compiled countless widely sung songs and stories. He believes that he has seen some of the world and has a decent psychological endurance.
But there has never been a time like today when I was forgotten by the world in a corner at the end.
The Kanam Desert seemed to have transformed into the impending doomsday as described in the ancient books.
Ximona felt an unconscious excitement in his heart, as if he had accomplished an extremely great, epic feat that would be recorded in history.
He didn't know why Lu Yi was looking for the dragon clan, but he felt that the consequences of this matter might be enough to shake the entire Isaiah continent and even change the future direction of the entire human race.
This inexplicable but firm understanding made Ximona tremble uncontrollably, and he became more and more worried that he was holding back.
He thought of all the comments he had heard about Lu Yi over the years, and everything finally came together in his mind into a simple word.
——The light of humanity.
If this is the hope to end the chaotic battle of this era, then he sincerely hopes that Lu Yi's future journey will be smoother and smoother.
He must not fall behind!
Shimona gritted his teeth, and the tip of his finger pointing at the crystal ball began to bleed.
But what made him despair was that the needle of the crystal ball that was pointing the direction in the vast yellow sand suddenly shook violently!
Shimona said in horror: "Pointing at the crystal ball, the direction began to blur -
"I can't find the north!!"
