Chapter 381 A coup in the Snow Country
The news that the Snow Mountain Labyrinth had ten levels spread rapidly throughout the Snow Country.
The beam of light that broke through the sky was the teleportation array that led out of the tenth floor of the maze.
What is even more surprising is that the Snow Mountain Labyrinth is actually a trial ground created by the Water God Hildani Geti, where the Dark God's clones and countless demons are imprisoned.
There is a small world in the tenth-level maze, where hundreds of thousands of humans live. They are all descendants of heroes who voluntarily stayed in the tenth level to fight against the God of Darkness during the War of the Gods.
Ten thousand years in the outside world is equivalent to forty thousand years in the tenth level of the maze.
In order to eliminate the Dark God's clones and numerous demons, they fought silently in that small world for more than 40,000 years.
The cruel war created countless heroes.
To date, there are nineteen magic gods and five sword gods who have survived from the Age of Gods.
In addition, there are 500 magic gods of different ages, more than 1,000 magic saints, 100 sword gods, and more than 700 sword saints.
The adventurers from the Snow Country were shocked to learn of these astonishing numbers.
There has only been one human god of magic in the Austin continent so far, but there are more than 500 gods of magic and more than 1,000 saints of magic on the tenth level of the Snow Mountain Maze!
The number of Sword Gods and Sword Saints is also very impressive.
It is said that not long ago, the light camp on the tenth floor finally killed the clone of the God of Darkness, eliminated the dark forces, and opened the teleportation array to return to reality despite all the hardships.
The giant magic circle and earth-shaking beams of light that appeared above the snow-capped mountain maze were the best proof.
Now, a group of one hundred people composed of the God of Magic and the God of Sword are being invited by the King of the Snow Country to visit the palace.
Returning to this crystal-like palace again, Shu Li felt quite subdued.
After stepping out of the teleportation array, they were surrounded by a group of adventurers who had rushed over after hearing the news. Under everyone's incredible attention, Shu Li exchanged information with them in a friendly manner and learned that 22 years had passed in the outside world since they entered the snow mountain maze.
I originally thought that with the map of the Snow Mountain Maze, finding the Water Spirit would be easy, but I never expected that the Snow Mountain Maze was so complicated. The original two-month adventure plan took a full twenty-two years to complete.
Twenty-two years can change a lot of things.
The royal family of the Snow Kingdom experienced a coup. Leon and Nasha's uncle, the former king Darkon Snown abdicated, the first prince Onaro died suddenly, the first princess Phegina became insane, and the first princess Alice married into another country.
The second prince Aesop Snow inherited the throne and became the new king of the Snow Kingdom.
The second princess, Celine Mel, returned to the courtyard to continue her magical career.
Both Shu Li and the other members of Team Light were surprised when they learned about the situation.
Leon was stunned for a moment, then revealed a complicated smile and said to himself: "He really did it."
Nasha asked confusedly, "He... doesn't have black hair and purple eyes."
According to the tradition of the Snow Country, only those of royal blood with black hair and purple eyes have the right to inherit the throne. Aesop's silver hair and blue eyes determined his fate from birth.
"Traditions are meant to be broken!" Morrissey raised his eyebrows.
Tradition also indicates that the Lord of the Demon Sword has the right to inherit the throne!
Although Leon is the king's nephew, he has standard black hair and purple eyes, and is also the owner of the Sword of Eterno.
What is the result?
Wasn't he forced to escape into the snow mountain maze to find a new way out?
"At least, it will be more beneficial for us if the second prince becomes king," said Seleu.
22 years ago, the first princess and the first queen plotted against them, while the second princess and the second prince risked their lives to remind them to leave the palace as soon as possible.
Leon was able to escape from the palace thanks to the secret help of the second prince.
Knowing the whole story, Purshi smiled and suggested, "In that case, let's go directly to the palace to see the king!"
So, the group entered the Snow King's capital with great fanfare, deliberately spreading the news of the tenth level of the Snow Mountain Maze, and went to the Magic Association to register information, creating a sensation and attracting the king's attention.
Sure enough, within half a day, the king sent someone to the Magic Association to invite them to meet in the palace.
22 years later, Aesop's appearance has changed a bit.
He inherited the magical talent of the second princess. He was a fifty-year-old intermediate magician. He still looked young and handsome, but his blue eyes showed a depth that was inconsistent with his appearance.
When he saw Leon, his eyes suddenly became eager. Due to the occasion, he had to suppress his excitement and receive the distinguished guest from the Snow Mountain Labyrinth with the courtesy of a king.
As Purshi and Aesop communicated, Team Light listened quietly.
The process went very smoothly and Aesop readily agreed to their request.
"The Snow Country is very large, more than enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. As long as you are willing, you can settle here."
"Thank you for your generosity, Your Majesty," Purshi said. "When I return, I will conduct a poll to count the number of people willing to live in the Snow Country."
After all, the Snow Country is located in the far north, with a harsh environment and scarce supplies. People who are used to warm climates may not be able to adapt to the cold weather here.
Therefore, Pulsi wants to fight for more, better and more suitable living places for his compatriots in the tenth-level maze.
Aesop knew very well that the conditions in the Snow Country were limited and that it could not hold too many people. He understood the other party's concerns and did not force them.
"If possible... I hope you can leave a magic god or sword god in the Snow Kingdom."
This is his ultimate goal.
Whether it is the God of Law or the God of Sword, they are both important elements in strengthening the national strength and deterring the dark forces from interfering in the Snow Country.
The war in the south gradually spread to the north, and the situation became serious.
Although the Snow Country is located in the far north and has the Warcraft Forest and the Courtyard as barriers, who can guarantee that the dark forces will not infiltrate?
He must prepare for a rainy day.
Purshi looked at the Elf King who was disguised as a human.
The Elf King nodded slightly.
Purshi understood and said to Aesop, "We are happy to cooperate with your country. However, please wait until we go to the courtyard to discuss the details with the God of Magic, Danlov, and then send the God of Magic through the Magic Association to take charge."
If you agree to it alone, you will become the palace's personal magician and can only obey the king.
If he were appointed by the Magic Association, the meaning would be completely different, and his status would be equal to that of the king.
Aesop also knew that he couldn't get around the Magic Association, so he didn't dwell on this issue for too long.
After discussing the details, he held a banquet and invited everyone to dinner.
Team Light just sat around and watched the show the whole time. After eating and drinking their fill and stroking their round bellies, they decided to leave the palace and go to the accommodation provided by the Magic Association.
"——Leon, Nasha, please stay."
After enduring for an entire afternoon, Aesop finally spoke.
Nasha involuntarily moved closer to Leon and stared at Aesop warily.
Is he going to settle old scores?
Leon looked calm. He patted his sister's shoulder soothingly and said to Aesop politely, "May I ask what His Majesty the King wants to see us about?"
Aesop looked at him deeply and said with a faint smile, "You are my cousins. We haven't seen each other for more than 20 years. Shouldn't we catch up?"
Nasha pursed her lips.
She was terrified of the conspiracies and schemes from her relatives, and worried that if she stayed to reminisce about the past, her life would be in danger.
Gently pulling at her brother's sleeve, she urged him to refuse.
However, Leon didn't seem to get her hint and actually agreed. "It's been a long time."
He asked Nasha to go back to the Magic Association with the others, while he stayed to reminisce with Aesop.
Nasha refused anxiously: "No!"
Although his brother is a sword master, it is easy to dodge an open attack but difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark. Who knows if Aesop will do something bad to him?
Leon ruffled her hair. "Be obedient."
Nasha bit her lip and shook her head stubbornly.
"Princess, I will stay with the prince," Dur said. He knew that the prince and Aesop had been close since childhood, so he was not worried that Aesop would harm the prince.
Aesop kept the prince, probably because he wanted to discuss some private matters.
The prince agreed to reminisce, which meant he was willing to communicate with him.
Shu Li looked at Aesop, then at Leon, and felt that the atmosphere between the two was subtle, as if they had some feelings.
"Nasha, let's go first!"
No wonder Aesop passed the message to Leon in the middle of the night. It turned out that they had a close relationship.
Nasha sighed softly: "Brother, go back early."
Leon nodded.
Nasha looked at Aesop and shook the magic wand in her hand, reminding him not to act rashly towards his brother.
She is now a high-level wizard and can come and go in the palace freely.
Aesop remained calm and ignored her threats.
After Shu Li and others left, he looked at Leon's handsome face greedily, describing its outline over and over again with a focused gaze, as if he couldn't see enough, and he was reluctant to blink.
Leon smiled and asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
Aesop frowned, and clenched his fists into fists. "Look at your face to see if there are any signs of aging."
Leon asked, "Did you see it?"
Aesop said, "No."
Leon stepped forward and naturally extended his hand to him.
Aesop hesitated for a moment, then held his hand tightly, his ice-blue eyes revealing deep longing.
"Light God bless you, you are still alive!"
Leon sighed with emotion: "Yes, I am still alive. And you have become the king of the Snow Kingdom."
Aesop took his hand and walked into the palace. "There are a bunch of lunatics in the palace, acting madly. I don't want to destroy the country, so I can only work hard. Please ask my father to give up the throne."
Leon matched his pace leisurely, chatting with him like a long-lost friend. "My uncle definitely won't agree."
"Yes, not only was he unwilling, he was also extremely angry and called me a lunatic." Aesop sneered, "I had no choice but to go crazy in front of him."
Let's see who is the real lunatic in the end.
In short, he won and became the king of the Snow Kingdom, while the loser had to step down.
Leon looked at Aesop's feminine profile with a gentle expression. "You are right."
Being affirmed by the person he cared about, Aesop turned around happily and said, "I knew you would support me!"
Leon said: "I understand you."
He had lived in the Snow Country for ten years and knew that his uncle's family had extreme personalities. Only Aesop, under the guidance of the Second Princess, kept a low profile and bided his time.
Perhaps his uncle had done something excessive, and Aesop could no longer tolerate it, so he had to launch a coup and become king himself.
Aesop held his hand tightly and looked at him intently.
Leon stood and let him watch.
The two of them stared at each other like wooden figures, neither of them spoke.
Dur, who was left to accompany Leon, stood silently in the distance and watched.
After an unknown amount of time, Aesop looked away and asked calmly, "What are your plans next?"
Leon said: "Let's go to the courtyard first, and then go to Dalia with Nasha."
Aesop nodded to show that he understood.
"If... you want to restore your country, I will help you," he said.
At the beginning, Leon came to the Snow Kingdom with great difficulty just to ask his father for help and save the country of Pedam, which was about to be destroyed.
However, the king was unwilling to send troops, and even more unwilling to let Leon, who was recognized as the master of the Sword of Itno, leave.
Leon was young and seriously injured at the time, so he had to stay and waste his time.
Aesop said firmly again: "I will help you, Leon."
When he was young, Aesop found Leon sitting in a corner holding the magic sword and secretly wiping away tears. He then made up his mind to help him restore his country in the future.
Now, he has strength and power.
Leon was stunned for a moment, his clear eyes reflecting the handsome face of the silver-haired young man. A warm feeling flowed through his heart, and he said sincerely, "Thank you, Aesop."
